Sunday, June 27.

The weather is hot, and the large lawn of Honeysuckle University reflects the bright sunlight.

There was a bus parked at the school gate, and the little old man was wearing a white coat, looked at the serious old man beside him, and said with a smile:

"There are only a dozen people in the world who know Tocharian language, you Holman is counted as one, and when Professor Lin teaches me, I will also count as one."

Holman scoffed: "You don't have to be ashamed of a young man in his twenties as a teacher." ”

The little old man smiled and said, "Because of this mentality, you have never been able to evaluate the 'master'." ”

Holman choked for a moment, and turned his head with a flick of his sleeves.

The two have competed in the field of ancient languages for most of their lives, and both are well-known academic authorities.

Compared to Master Bop, who specialized in one linguistics, Professor Holman was a generalist, and he also had a place in the field of archaeology.

In addition to these two, there is also a genius female scholar in her twenties, Luo Salyn from the Department of Archaeology of Glory Imperial University.

and two fourth-order card masters in charge of security, a man and a woman, named 'Zhong Xingfeng' and 'Vikarina', are a couple.

A total of five people, plus Lin Xiao, who was strongly recommended by Master Bopu, formed this archaeological team.

"Here we are." When the little old man saw the visitor, his eyes lit up, and he beckoned: "Lin Xiao, here!" ”

The black-haired and black-eyed young man wore a thin jacket, walked up to him, smiled and nodded, "Good morning, Master Bop." ”

Then, Lin Xiao glanced back and said politely: "I remember, you are Professor Holman of Tulip, fortunately." ”

Holman looked at Lin Xiao and nodded, which was regarded as a greeting.

Master Bopu introduced the team members to Lin Xiao: "These two are responsible for security work......

The two brigade card divisions in charge of the battle smiled kindly and greeted Lin Xiao with a smile.

"And this one, Rosalyn from the Department of Archaeology of Imperial University - she has three doctorates at a young age, and she is a promising genius scholar." Bopp laughed.

"You're overrated, Master Bop." Rosalyn was blonde and blue-eyed, wearing a scholar's white coat, observing Lin Xiao, and her heart was full of surprise.

I've heard about Honeysuckle's newest associate professor.

But I really didn't expect him to be so young and more handsome than he imagined.

It is rumored that his academic ability can even teach Master Bop, which is really incredible......

"Let's go." "By bus, we can get to the outskirts in two hours, then we will change to a jeep and get to the vicinity of the ruins before dark, and after the initial survey, we will set up a tent in the field for the night," Professor Holman said. ”

"Supplies, tents, and the like are stored in the 'storage card'." Master Boppu smiled and replied, "The power of science is truly great. ”

Lin Xiao said in her heart, it's not scientific at all!

Creating a separate space is a characteristic given to the cards by Kaos, the 'Lord of Time and Nothingness'.

Just as the ability of cards to transform between 'spirit and matter' is a characteristic that candle dragons give to cards.

In general, because of the existence of cards, it has become much easier for card masters to carry props.

But this capability will not be applied to the transportation industry on a large scale, after all, 'source power' as an energy source is quite expensive.

The bus was quite empty, with only the driver and the archaeological team.

Lin Xiao sat down in a corner, looking out the window at the receding scenery, and it wasn't long before there was a debate in the front seat—Bopp and Holman were again engaged in a heated discussion on academic issues.

The blonde woman in the white coat was a little helpless, left the front seat, sat in the front row on Lin Xiao's left hand side, turned her head slightly, and said:

"Fortunately, Professor Lin."

"Hello, Miss Rosalyn." Lin Xiao paused and said, "Do you have any advice?" ”

Rosalyn raised a friendly smile and said, "I heard Master Bopu say that this is the first time you have participated in the archaeological operation, so I would like to remind you that monsters may also appear in the process of archaeological ruins. Even if there are security personnel, don't take it lightly. ”

After experiencing many events, Lin Xiao has a clearer understanding of her own strength.

Invincible below the seventh order, but whether you can win when you encounter super S-level monsters and national warriors has to put a question mark.

As for the realm of heroes and gods above the human race, all I can do at the moment is to gather their wool.

Of course, the monsters encountered in the ruins are still very easy to solve by themselves.

"Thanks for the reminder." Lin Xiao nodded and asked, "I heard Master Bopu say that this excavation is the remains of the sleeping god 'Shupnos', do you have more detailed information?" ”

Rosalind pondered for a moment and said, "What is the condition of the ruins can only be known after getting the on-site survey...... I can share some myths about 'Hypnos'. ”

"I'm sorry." Lin Xiao nodded.

"Hypnos lived in the underworld, and whenever night fell, he would instruct his servants to lure humans to sleep. His servants are called 'Dream Demons' by humans. ”

Rosalyn paused for a moment, slightly cramped, and said, "Dream demons are divided into male and female, and they will sneak into people's dreams when night falls, mingle with them, and absorb essence...... This allows people to fall into a deep sleep. ”

Lin Xiao retrieved the mythological knowledge of his previous life.

As a game planner, he refers to a lot of mythology from various countries when writing game content, and he is also half an expert.

Dream demons are creatures that appear in the myths of various countries.

The most classic image is 'Lilith': a seductive, seductive, seductive bat demon with a pointed tail and sharp horns.

Generally speaking, Nightmares and Dream Demons are two different types of creatures.

The former is haunted by nightmares, the latter is night and day.

Humans in the Middle Ages hated nightmares and loved dream demons.

Merlin, the famous great magician in Celtic mythology and the mentor of King Arthur, is a half-human, half-dream demon bloodline. Merlin's mother, conceived in a dream, gave birth to Merlin.

Lin Xiao: "In other words, we may meet the Dream Demon this time?" ”

Rosalyn: "Just guessing...... A smooth ride is of course best, but the potential risks must also be taken into account. ”

Professor Lin clasped his arms in his hands, and his heart moved slightly.

This kind of seductive trick doesn't work for me who has the "power of arrogance".

Once the Dream Demon sneaks into the dream, I can slash it with ease, and maybe even burst out rare materials......

Dream Demon, I want you to help me practice!

……

The bus travels for about two hours and arrives at a large earthy plain on the outskirts.

Everyone got out of the car, Professor Holman took out the binoculars, and said, "The highway will stop here, and then I will change to an off-road vehicle—Mr. Zhong, I'm sorry for you." ”

Zhong Xingfeng, who was in charge of security, nodded, released an orange flame with his right palm, and turned the vehicle into a camouflage-painted jeep off-road vehicle.

The jeep can seat four people, and Rosalyn is in charge of driving. Zhong Xingfeng and Vikarina, each riding a motorcycle, opened the way beside them. Three bills of dust were lifted from the wasteland, and the orange-red sun was about to set at the end of the mountain.

"Do you want to change people?" Lin Xiao sat in the co-pilot and said, "I see that your face is not very good." ”

"A little tired—" Rosalyn put her hands on the steering wheel and glanced back, "will you drive?" ”

"I don't have a driver's license." Lin Xiao looked around, "There shouldn't be any traffic police here." ”

Rosalyn: "......"

In the end, she still exchanged places with Lin Xiao.

"It's my first time." Lin Xiao holds the steering wheel.

"Remember, slow down," Rosalyn whispered.

"Understood—Master Bopp, Professor Holman, fasten your seatbelts."

Lin Xiao kicked the accelerator.

Amid the exclamations of the group, the jeep sped wildly across the wilderness, and the two motorcyclists stared wide-eyed.

Who is in the driver's seat?

A broken jeep, even the technical moves of a professional racing car have been made?

*

The afterglow is fiery red, reflecting a cave at the foot of the mountain, and there are ruins and broken walls nearby, and a safety warning line has been fenced.

Rosalyn took out a large pile of precision instruments and tinkered with them with a serious expression.

Lin Xiao was beckoned by Master Bopu to identify the inscription together.

The stele stands on the outside of the cave, the stele body is damaged by wind erosion, and the inscription is faintly recognizable.

"It should be the lingua franca of ancient mankind, and there is nothing wrong with that." Master Bopu asked, "What do you think, Lin Xiao?" ”

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "It's indeed a lingua franca, but it's a local variant...... It can be understood as a dialect of the countries surrounding the Mediterranean. ”

Holman glanced at Lin Xiao in surprise.

Master Bopu looked happy to have picked up the treasure, and said happily: "Yes, yes, I think so too!" ”

"This inscription records the worship of 'dreams'." "It's a belief, and similar to the worship of 'fate,' 'land,' and 'sun'—I speculate that they may have been followers of the sleeping god 'Hypnos,' who migrated to this continent and built temples of the native faith in a foreign land." ”

The little old man looked at the cave and said excitedly, "And the ruins of the Temple of the Sleeping God are inside that cave!" ”

"It's too early to tell." Holman looked up and said, "The sun is about to set, sort out the existing information and prepare to set up camp." ”

There are three tents in total.

Lin Xiao has one top with Zhong Xingfeng, one top for the two professors, and one top for Vikarina and Rosalyn.

After a brief dinner, we continued to survey the surrounding area of the ruins and sort out the existing information, and it was almost ten o'clock.

Master Bopp announces the completion of today's progress.

Tomorrow's mission is to enter the interior of the cave and perhaps find the altar of the sleeping god.

Night falls.

The temperature plummeted, the mountains were shrouded in darkness, and the wind rustled in the wilderness.

Zhong Xingfeng stood guard outside the tent.

The night is the time when the monsters are most active, and this ruin is related to the god of sleep, so it is necessary to be on guard at night.

He and his girlfriend Vikarina are both fourth-order card masters.

It is not enough to see in the world-class Star Cup event, but in Xingtu City, it is already among the best among the security personnel.

"I'll rotate with you in the evening." Lin Xiao proposed, "It's not safe for you to keep vigil by yourself. ”

"Thank you, little brother, for your kindness. However, there is no reason to let the protector keep vigil. Zhong Xingfeng smiled, "I agreed with my girlfriend, I will keep watch for the first half of the night, and she will keep watch for the second half of the night." If there is a real emergency such as not being able to wake up, or a ghost pressing the bed, I will light the meditation wood. ”

Meditation wood is a wood with a special fragrance, and the fragrance when lit has a calming effect and can dispel some negative states.

After running around all day, coupled with a lot of mental work, Lin Xiao was indeed a little tired.

I decided to take a break and get up again in the middle of the night to check on the situation.

If there really be a monster like a dream demon.

With the "Arrogant Purple Jade", I can also detect it first-hand.

*

Deep in the cavern.

On the surface of a dark spring, a few dark blue water lilies float.

On the ruins of the altar dedicated to the god of sleep, 'Hypnos', stands an altar of the demon god that radiates blue light.

A dark blue fragment of Origin floated in the center of the altar, and the flickering blue light was like a candle flame, casting two shadows on the wall.

The one on the left resembles a black mist, constantly changing shapes.

The figure on the right is convex and backward, with a tail attached to its hips.

"Outside, there's a lot of it, humans." The sound of the black mist was hoarse and dry, like the sound of dripping water echoing in the dark cavern.

"I see it." The female voice is lazy and good-sounding, and she can imagine a sexy figure just by the voice of the royal sister, and she smiles charmingly and says in her heart.

Among the crowds, there was also a very handsome human male.

Black Mist said hoarsely: "Humans, will interfere with the rituals of adults. ”

With that, the shadow quickly disappeared from the wall, and a cloud of black mist rushed out of the cave, and was stopped by the female voice viciously.

"Come back!"

In the darkness, a tall and sexy dream demon with a large chest stepped out.

She curled her head at the top of her head, looked at her eyes, and said:

"You keep the other humans under control and keep them awake. Leave that hardy dark-haired human to deal with, leave it to me to deal with! ”

Black Mist's tone was slightly dazed: "You, how can you see that he is difficult to deal with?" ”

"I said yes! Don't hurry up yet! The Dream Demon scolded.

The wind gusted, and the black mist rushed out of the cave. The nightmare melts into the night, spying on the humans in the tent.

"The two fourth-order humans, the others, are not a threat......" Nightmare narrowed his eyes.

If you dare to invade Lord Belfinger's territory, you are killing yourself!

The remaining power of the altar of the sleeping god 'Hypnos' is similar to the power of the lazy demon god 'Belfinger'.

Therefore, two believers of the Lazy Demon God, Dove occupies the magpie's nest and transforms the ruins of the Sleeping God into an altar of the Demon God.

Belfinger's followers are quite lazy, relying mainly on sucking the essence of passing humans, and rarely taking the initiative.

But since there is an archaeological team that is not afraid of death, they will naturally not show mercy.

Staring at Lin Xiao in her sleep, the Dream Demon Royal Sister licked the corners of her mouth.

Thank you, Master Belfinger, for your gift!

Lin Xiao had a dream.

I dreamed that I was in a sea of golden sunflowers.

The black-haired young man was wearing a white shirt, looked around, and saw a woman in a white dress wearing a yang hat walking across the sea of flowers.

The woman took off her yang hat, revealing a beautiful face that was charming and charming, and had nothing to do with innocence, and said disappointedly:

"I can't imagine you like this genre."

"Where is this?" Lin Xiao asked calmly.

The woman waved her hand slightly, and the sea of flowers suddenly changed color, and the sunflowers withered into blood-red manzhu sawah, and the sky was purple and red.

"This is the world of dreams."

The Dream Demon returned to his original outfit, his eyes flashed with a charming purple light, and he smiled charmingly, "You can stay here forever, Dream World." ”

Lin Xiao tried to use the fire, and got a response from the Falling Star Sword, and he had a heart.

The dream world, like the source world, is one of thousands of spiritual worlds.

Therefore, in this world, the power of cards and tinder can be mobilized in the same way.

The dream demon twisted his slender waist, walked in steps, his eyes bloomed with demonic pink, and said with a smile:

"Sir, you don't want your companions to suffer outside, do you?"

"Do it yourself, I may be able to let your companion live!" Dream Demon's beautiful face bag showed a hint of hideousness.

Lin Xiao sighed lightly: "Then there is no way. ”

The corners of the Dream Demon Royal Sister's mouth turned up: "Good, that's fine...... Well? ”

Her pupils constricted: "What is this?" ”

No response.

Lin Xiao slammed the Falling Star Sword into the earth, pressed his hands against the hilt of the sword, and said in a low voice:

"Armed, possessed!"

The black flames engulfed Lin Xiao, and a pitch-black armor quickly appeared in his body.

Immediately, the heavy swordsman raised his big sword with both hands, and the black flames surged upwards along the sword body, extending out a giant lightsaber more than forty meters long!

Sister Dream Demon looked up at the giant sword, lost her mind in shock, and muttered:

"W-I can't catch this......"

Thundered!!

The giant sword of light slashed down violently, and the entire dream world trembled in the terrifying sword momentum.

The sky dome of this small world shattered a hideous crack, and the dream demon trembled under the mighty pressure, and the screams could not be released, and they were wiped out under the sword momentum!

Glanced at the card data.

The Falling Star Sword has gained a large wave of experience points.

Lin Xiao bowed his head in satisfaction.

What dream demons, elves, and mermaid princesses are all fake......

The big sword is my true love!
