Chapter 3: The Dream Rose
"We're staying on Olawe Island for a while." Agnes said casually as she wiped her somewhat damp hair with a towel.
Lani on the other side nodded slightly and did not speak.
Agnes stood up, put the towel on the back of the chair beside the table, turned and walked into the study, Nightingale's figure appeared in a slight ripple, and the rose brooch inlaid with red glass in her hand attracted Angnes' attention.
"Mr. Chester has something you want to bring to me?" Agnes asked.
Nightingale nodded.
"He wants to meet you." Nightingale said calmly, looking at Agnes.
Agnes propped her chin in thought and nodded.
"Where is Mr. Chester now?" Agnes asked.
Nightingale looked a little strange and whispered, "On the ship from Byam to Olawe." ”
Agnes couldn't help but look a little strange: "He knows I'm coming to Olavi Island?" ”
"From what I've observed, he doesn't know about it." Nightingale shook her head and said.
Agnes nodded thoughtfully, "I see, I'll meet him when he gets to Olavi Island." ”
"He also asked me to give this brooch to you." Nightingale added as she took a step closer to the desk and placed the brooch in her hand beside Angnes.
Agnes reached out and picked up the rose brooch.
The roses made of inlaid red glass shimmered like blood in the sunlight shining through the windows, and the faint streamer flowed through the open roses, while the thorns wrapped around the back looked extremely dull.
"'Dream Roses' may or may not be useful to Agnes," Nightingale said in Mr. Chester's voice, "and if you don't use it, it will only last for a year, and if you use it, it will only last for half a year at most." ”
"Triggering while the target is asleep induces the dream that most closely correlates to the target's underlying desires, and the user can also enter the target's dream."
"However, it should be noted that if the subject's dream has a greater impact on the target, it will make the target aware of the problem and trigger the target's subconscious desire to attack, and if the user is damaged in the dream, it will cause damage to his own spirit."
Angnes listened to Nightingale's imitation of Mr. Chester's words, nodded slightly, reached out and opened the suitcase placed on the side of the table, and a similar style of brooch with an open rose and three rose buds was taken out and placed aside.
"This is my gift to Agnes......" Nightingale said in a hesitant tone with a calm face, "if she's willing to take it." ”
"Mr. Chester seems to be quite fond of brooches, especially rose brooches." Agnes couldn't help but smile.
"Do you want to accept it?" Nightingale asked.
"Of course," said Agnes with a smile, "after all...... This is something that was given by the elders. ”
Nightingale looked at Agnes with some confusion.
Agnes paused slightly, hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, and said, "And this will make Mr. Chester less worried about the note I gave him earlier." ”
Nightingale nodded thoughtfully.
"I'll have to tell Mr. Chester that I'm on Olawe Island." Agnes looked at Nightingale and said.
"Okay." Nightingale nodded and said.
Her figure then vanished from the room with a circle of ripples that spread outward, and Agnes sighed and reached out to pick up the brooch with the thorns behind the rose.
"Use this thing to enter other people's dreams......" Agnes spun the brooch in her hand little by little, the red glass shining like blood in the sunlight, "Is it true that my spirit body will not directly pollute other people's dreams?" ”
She pinned the rose brooch to her shirt, then pulled out her pen and her black notebook.
"Use it only on those who don't need mercy."
......
"I have a hunch that you will be our companion."
The old man, whose hair was as white as snow and whose face was not wrinkled, wore a short black coat and a sturdy cane.
The man with his tall body opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
"Not now, though." The old man added with a smile on his face.
The man with his tall body frowned and shook his head.
"I have no intention of joining you," he said, "I'm only here for the church......
"The council will discuss the news you have brought," said the old man with a smile, "but other than that...... Ah, forgot to ask what to call you? ”
"My last name is Stitch." Said the man with a tall body.
"Mr. Stitch, I have a few personal things I'd like to talk to you about." The old man said with a smile on his face.
"What's the matter?"
"For example, your uncoordinated body that was forcibly catalyzed to grow was forcibly stitched together, but you can still maintain your sane spirit."
The man with his tall body stared at the old man with a strange gaze, and only after a long time did he ask, "What exactly do you want to ask?" ”
"This state of affairs in you is unreasonable, the body and the spirit belong to one and the same, and should be in a divided oneness." The old man thought for a moment and explained aloud.
The man with his tall body frowned a little confused: "I'm sorry, I didn't understand." ”
The old man took a deep breath and said aloud, "Your body shows that your spirit should still be in a state of incoordination, but at present, your spirit has reached a preliminary integration, which is a bit strange. ”
The man with his tall body raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to make a prayer gesture on his chest, and said in a pious manner, "Thank you for the gift of Mother God." ”
"Praise be to the Mother Goddess!"
......
"I'm curious what makes you want to come out with me." Agnes asked, glancing at Lani, who was following her, and raised an eyebrow.
Lani glanced at Agnes, then frowned, her gaze subconsciously scanning the street to one side.
"It doesn't make a difference to me whether I stay at the inn or go out with you." She said casually.
Agnes nodded, raising the newspaper in her hand.
"That might be a little more physical exertion today," said Agnes with a smile in her voice, "and see what hunting places are available around here." ”
Olavi Island was originally a pristine island with many extraordinary creatures, and although these extraordinary creatures gradually decreased after the end of the hunting era, the villages and towns gradually developed, but they are still rich in natural resources.
Lani's face was almost uncontrollably strange, and then nodded.
