"There have been some strange changes in the dream world, and the Lady of Sighs, who is guarding the 'Sleeping Gate', has left for the time being, and I have been able to get out of there...... But this is only temporary, and He will return soon. ”

Philip explained to Chen Lun.

"So I don't have much time, so I can only try to do something for you...... If it weren't for the old guy Quiller I met some time ago, I would have had more time. ”

He shook his head.

Seeing that Chen Lun was a little confused, Philip explained:

"I've written about this person in my diary, I don't know if you still have an impression...... Quylor is my old rival, having hunted me down since I was in the middle ranks, and now he's risen through the ranks and even become one of the Seven Sages of the History and Ritual Society, making him a formidable foe. ”

He also regretted that if he hadn't been tortured by the dream world for a long time and his strength had been damaged, this unexpected encounter would not have been as simple as seriously injuring the other party......

Chen Lun suddenly remembered that when he first crossed over, he was imprisoned in the apple orchard dungeon on the outskirts of Emerald Town, and it happened to be after reading "Philip's Diary" that he obtained the extraordinary knowledge of the [Beast Tamer] and became an extraordinary person.

And in that diary, Philip described this man.

At that time, Philip also wrote a "letter to the end", believing that he would inevitably die in the battle with Quyler.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, the two are still fighting......

"Okay, let's not talk about that."

Philip pulled the conversation back.

"Jack, you're trying to put the Murder Club in the position of the Orthodox Church, right?"

"Hmm."

Chen Lun nodded and said in a deep voice:

"This has helped me gain a high official status, which will make it easier for me to do things in the future."

"A good idea indeed."

Philip expressed his approval.

But he warned Chen Lun with a serious expression:

"I'll try to help you achieve your goals in the short time I have free...... But remember, even if you become a high-ranking member of the Orthodox God Church in the future, try not to have too much to do with the Sun Royal Family. The Sun King Andre has ruled the Empire for more than 4,000 years, and is an overlord of extreme ideas, beliefs, and strength, who has always hated the three paths of nature, magic, and fate. ”

Chen Lun suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Natural Sect would be disqualified by the Sun King himself at the last moment of competing for the seat of the Orthodox God Church.

"Although the Madman School is the Orthodox Church of the Magical Way, because their foundation is in the Byron Kingdom in the far north, the Sun King has not turned his face for the time being because of the strength of the other party."

Philip added.

"Grow up as soon as possible, Jack, only by gaining the strength of a high position can you control your own destiny, and only then can you have the ability to help me get out of trouble in the dream world."

"yes, I know."

Chen Lun nodded.

Philip smiled again and slowly stood up.

"It's time for me to go, I've had a lot of things backlogged over the years, and I need to settle them all before Lady Sigh returns, so I can focus on the next 'long dream' ......"

As He was about to leave, Chen Lun stopped Him.

"Philip."

"Huh?"

Philip stopped, turned around, and looked confused.

"Oh, it's nothing...... I wish you all the best. ”

Chen Lun opened his mouth, but he just smiled and shook his head and gave a blessing.

Originally, he wanted to tell the other party that his fate had been affected by Howard's action, but in the end he didn't say it.

Philip was apparently unaware of this, and he had told Chen Lun in casual conversation that his former best friend had become a stranger and had now disappeared...... Even if he told Philip about it, it would not do him any good, but only increase the troubles of the other party.

Destiny can only be controlled by oneself, and others cannot do anything about it.

Chen Lun sighed secretly in his heart.

Philip responded with a smile:

"Thank you."

Immediately walked back and gave Chen Lun a heavy hug.

"I wish you all the best, Jack."

After Philip leaves.

Chen Lun returned to the present world from the spirit world, leaning on the sofa in the living room alone, closing his eyes and recuperating.

At the same time, he was digesting the many secret information and information he had just gotten.

Through a conversation with Philip, he finally understood the purpose and significance of the birth of "Philip in Wonderland......

'Wonderland is to prepare me to adapt to the environment of the dream world in advance, and to be able to save Philip one day in the future...... At the same time, the wooden houses in the fairyland are safe houses for me, and the extraordinary knowledge and items left in them are the rewards for my rapid growth. ’

Chen Lun let out a sigh of relief.

He didn't resent Philip's arrangement, because no matter what, the other party was kind to him and led him all the way...... He was willing to try to save Philip from the dream world if he could.

But by no means now.

There's still a long way to go, so let's focus on the present. ’

Chen Lun thought to himself.

He retrieved two strange objects that Philip had left him, a rusty key and a wooden puppet.

【B-Rank Trick - Travel Key】

Item description: Contains the power of fate, resembling a 12.5 cm long, 2.4 cm wide, 132 grams vintage key, made of metal, covered in rust.

It is suspected that some unlucky guy was killed by brutal torture and spiritually precipitated.

Fate is like a ring, and the circle is drawn into a door. Where the heart is, where the person is.

Item Effect: Draw a circle on any plane, use the key to open the door, and travel to the place you want. (Note: First, the limit distance does not exceed 200 kilometers.) Second, have a deep impression of the destination, or leave a physical anchor. Three, the duration of the travel gate is only ten seconds, and the number of shuttles does not exceed ten people. ）

Item Cost: Consumes 5 medium-sequence Mystic Substances (any pathway) or 50 low-sequence Mystic Substances (any path) per use, and falls into silence for 216 hours after use.

'Is this the ability to leap through the clouds that retains the [trapeze]? ’

Chen Lun took the key and was very happy.

Although the effect is weaker than the original Cloud Leap, and there are many limitations, it is not very expensive, except for the cooldown time of up to nine days, it is a proper superlative trick...... It can be given to Floy and used by them, so that they can teleport away while I'm not there. ’

Putting away the [Travel Key], he immediately picked up the doll and looked at it.

[B-grade Trickery - Stuntman Actor]

Item description: Containing the power of fate, it resembles a 22-centimeter-tall wooden figure, resembling a human figure in painting, and inadvertently, it seems to change its shape.

It is suspected that some arrogant person died after being brutally tortured, and his spirit was precipitated.

I went through hardships behind the scenes, and I played a gorgeous role for the main character.

Item Effects: Provides the user with a controllable inanimate human body with strong physical qualities. (Note: When a manikin is injured, it will automatically recover over time, depending on the degree of damage.) ）

Item Cost: It aspires to be the protagonist and needs to have a physical interaction with others every time it is used. Once used too often, it is highly likely to kill the user and replace it.

'A controllable stand-in? ’

Chen Lun felt novel.

He played with the doll and tried to activate it.

I saw a spotlight from nowhere, shining on the floor of the living room in front of me. With a click, a wooden puppet slowly emerged from the ground and mechanically changed from a squatting position to a standing position, facing Chen Lun face to face.

It has the height and size of an adult male, blended to render perfect proportions, but looks like an enlarged version of a doll mannequin, with neither facial features, nor clothes or decorations.

In the next second, Chen Lun felt a connection from the puppet in his palm, allowing him to freely manipulate the "puppet stand-in" in front of him.

Click!

I saw the puppet move its hands and feet, and looked down at its well-jointed palms.

This is Chen Lun manipulating in real time, and he finds that he can share the perception of the puppet......

'It's kind of interesting. ’

He chuckled.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lun took the puppet to the back garden and made a series of attempts.

The physical fitness of the puppet is indeed as strong as the description of the panel, and the material that seems to be made of wood is actually not the same thing at all, and its defense is even more resistant than that of the black crystal puppet. He has 1500 HP and 100 basic stats of Strength, Dexterity, and Endurance, which is the threshold for a Sequence 6 Transcendent.

This is equivalent to an extra stand-in for the Sequence 6 Transcendent.

But Chen Lun was a little disappointed.

First of all, the puppet cannot speak, nor can it be disguised and transformed, and can only be used purely as a combat tool. Secondly, the puppet does not have the sequence ability of the transcendent, so the combat method is extremely monotonous, and it can only rely on physical close-quarters combat.

Last but not least, the puppet cannot travel far from its 200-meter range, which is not a restriction in the panel description...... In addition, when using [stuntman], Chen Lun must pay all his attention to it, so that he cannot move freely, and it is difficult to react in time once he encounters danger.

It's a pity...... [stuntman] might be a good trick for the transcendents below Sequence 6, but it's too much for me. ’

Chen Lun sighed secretly.

In order to meet the cost of use, he had to manipulate the puppet double to find Connie in the warehouse area.

When Connie was busy in the workshop, she suddenly looked up and saw a "weird" mannequin walking in, which really scared her.

But she was not slow to react, and immediately commanded the two black crystal puppets around her to protect her, and picked up a finished [Connie No. 2] flintlock rifle, aimed at the other party vigilantly, and asked loudly:

"Who are you? Why trespass on Jack's Manor? ”

I saw the puppet bend down, pick up a piece of coal on the ground, and write on the wooden board next to it—

"Don't stress Connie, I'm Jack...... It's just a little experiment with some dolls. ”

The puppet paused, and added:

"Well done, Connie."

"It turned out to be Mr. Jack."

Connie breathed a sigh of relief.

She saluted the puppet with her skirt lifted, but the flintlock rifle in her hand was not lowered, apparently still a little skeptical.

Seeing this, Chen Lun directly manipulated the puppet to turn around and leave, so as not to make Connie too nervous.
