Chapter 432: Falling into the Dream Realm
Chen Lun thought for a moment, and finally opened the drawer on his right, took out one from a stack of letterheads, and then picked up the pen on the table and began to write-
"To Your Majesty Dazlet, with regard to your views and responses to the 'United Kingdom of Anlong', I have a similar view and believe that in the Sun Crown, only your decision is the most correct......
Halfway through writing, he realized that there was not enough stationery and took out another one.
Until the black ink handwriting crawled almost all over the letter paper.
โโฆโฆ To sum up, as a member of the Imperial Inquisition, I am very supportive of your decision, and I also hope that the Empire will be able to take back the territory that belongs to us in the Western War, Jackspet. โ
Chen Lun reviewed the two pages of letterhead, then silently stuffed them into a brown paper envelope, sealed it with fire paint, and stamped it with his personal seal.
A letter "J" wrapped in two snakes.
This letter can be regarded as a statement, which means that Chen Lun chose to support Prince Dazlet in initiating the Western War, but only as a "member of the Imperial Inquisition......
However, Chen Lun also knows very well that after all, as the consul of the Senate of the Generous Parliament, his words and deeds represent the Generous Council, so in this matter, he will have something to do with the Generous Council.
But as long as it is not explicitly and openly on behalf of the Generous Council, it is not a big problem.
I believe that with the prince's political literacy, the meaning of this letter should be very clear. Chen Lun is not worried that the other party will be annoyed by his cleverness, on the contrary, this is actually a manifestation of high emotional intelligence.
At the very least, Chen Lun chose to support him.
After all, the Council of Generosity has attracted too much attention when it was first established, and Conrad has grown in strength in recent days...... I had to be cautious. โ
Chen Lun let out a breath and shook his head slightly.
He immediately summoned Connie and handed her the letter to be sent to the Sun King's Palace.
"Yes, Mr. Jack."
Connie took the letter and suddenly remembered something.
"Ah, by the way, Mr. Jack, there was a batch of letters from Amber City in Gem Bang just now, and I have sorted them out, would you like to see them now?"
"Jewel Bang Amber City?"
Chen Lun was a little surprised.
"Yes......"
Connie nodded, a smile on her face.
"There are letters from the Viscount Pompeii, Mrs. Caroline, Monsieur Ralph, and Old Monsieur Malediz."
"Then bring them over, thank you, Connie."
Chen Lun smiled and bowed his head.
Connie answered, and quickly left, and in a few moments came over with a small cardboard box containing four letters and some small wooden carvings.
Chen Lun thanked him and began to unpack and check them one by one.
Connie bowed and then withdrew.
Chen Lun first read Ralph's letter, in which he said that "old friends" such as Viscount Pompeii had been looking for his traces, but had not achieved anything, and finally had to turn to the shelter for help.
Ralph used the intelligence system of the shelter to deliver the letter on his behalf, but because Chen Lun first led the circus to Peacock City in Yanbang and then to Wangcheng, the letter took several twists and turns and took several months to reach Chen Lun's hands.
He admired Chen Lun and congratulated him on becoming a Ruler of the Generous Council and joining the Imperial Inquisition...... In the end, he said that his "junior sister" Mengna has always paid attention to Chen Lun, and has unabashedly expressed her appreciation for Chen Lun when communicating through letters several times.
Chen Lun smiled and put the letter away, and opened the letter from Viscount Pompeii and old Monsieur Malediz...... The content is nothing more than some greetings and thanks, and I hope to have the opportunity to get together again.
At the same time, in both letters, Viscount Pompeii and Old Monsieur Malediz both have a headache and say that Rebecca and Ryan have recently become good friends, but the two often have conflicts over their admiration for Chen Lun.
However, Viscount Pompeii said very vaguely that he did not mind Chen Lun marrying two wives, and he had even communicated with his old boss Sima Le Diz about this.
Chen Lun looked at the letter, a little crying and laughing.
He shook his head and opened the last letter.
Mrs. Caroline said that she missed him and Floy very much, and talked about many trivial things in her letters, and for the transcendent who wandered in the mysterious realm all day, Mrs. Caroline's life may seem boring, but Chen Lun read it very seriously.
He could feel between the lines that this lady was full of enthusiasm and optimism about life, which made Chen Lun's mood better.
Mrs. Caroline said that she has been experiencing two troubles recently, one is that Barb is eating more and more than the average large dog, and her daily life is quite inconvenient...... But that's not an absolute disadvantage.
At least once, when Mrs. Caroline was returning home from the night show of the theater, she was attacked by six or seven stray dogs, and Barb only barked, and the stray dogs fled with their tails between their legs, which made Mrs. Caroline feel very safe.
The second thing is that Mr. Taute has not woken up since he was attacked by an undead stranger and fell into a coma...... And Mrs. Caroline noticed some strange changes.
Mr. Taute has been talking in his sleep lately, repeating a strange place name called "Kazt" and inexplicably showing wounds on his body.
This frightened Mrs. Caroline.
She did not dare to tell the doctor about this, so she had to turn to Viscount Pompeii, who was so well-informed that he recognized at once that it touched the mysterious realm, so they immediately thought of Jack.
It's a pity that Chen Lun had already left Amber City at that time.
"Old Mr. Taut?"
Chen Lun suddenly remembered that when he first arrived in Amber City with Floy and temporarily settled at No. 7 Denton Street, he would often go downstairs to the "Old Cripple Bookstore" to look for mysterious books...... The bookstore owner, Tauter, also has a crush on Mrs. Caroline.
'Kazt...... Could it be the town of cats in Wonderland? No, to be precise, it should be the cat town of Gatzt in the dream world. โ
Chen Lun frowned slightly.
He linked the incident to the book he had read, "Dreaming of the Town of Kazt", in which the sailor fell into a dream because he was drunk.
Mr. Taut's situation may be similar.
Philip once said that the dream world is not only accessible to the extraordinary with sufficient insight, and some ordinary people may also fall into the dream world due to accidents...... It's just that there are so few such examples that they barely attract much attention. โ
Chen Lun's gaze stopped on the letterhead.
'I'm going to go to the Dream Realm, and from there I'm going to go to the Dark End, and at the same time I'm going to get the Sequence Four mythology that Philip left me...... If Mr. Taute had really strayed into a dream, I might have been able to rescue him. โ
Mrs. Caroline had taken care of him and Floydo, and such a kind and kind lady, both husband and son had died in battle, deserved sympathy. Mr. Taut was not a big man, but he was willing to risk his life to save Mrs. Caroline.
Chen Lun will not hesitate to help him.

That afternoon, Chen Lun said hello to Floy and left the Generous Church District alone.
He directly cast a leap in the clouds, and in a few breaths, he traveled a long distance across the domain, from the royal city of Tourmaline Kloster, to several regions outside the city.
After two breaks in the middle of the way, after half an hour, Chen Lun finally returned to the city of Jewel Bang Amber.
Without alerting the local shelter, or even anyone noticing, he went straight to an ordinary apartment in the inner city.
Through the iron fence gate, Chen Lun saw the back of a familiar old woman, carrying a copper shower to water the potted flowers and plants in the courtyard.
He rang the doorbell.
Drip......
Mrs. Caroline was suddenly attracted by the doorbell and turned slowly.
When she saw a young gentleman in a black hat and black dress standing at the gate, her expression was stunned at first, and then she showed a surprised expression.
"Oh! Little Jack! โ
She even dropped the shower and wiped her wet hands from her apron as she trotted to the door and opened the iron fence gate.
"I'm glad you came to see me!"
Mrs. Caroline warmly embraced Chen Lun and welcomed him into the apartment.
"Sorry for the sudden visit, Mrs. Caroline."
Chen Lun sat on the sofa in the living room and put his silver cane aside.
Mrs. Caroline smiled and shook her head, made him a cup of flower tea, and handed it over.
"Don't be sorry, little Jack, I'm really glad you're back in Amber City, how long will you stay this time?"
Chen Lun looked at Mrs. Caroline's expectant gaze and had to smile politely.
"I received your letter and came to see it...... Floy and I have already moved to the Royal City, and I'm afraid we won't be living in Amber City for long in the near future. โ
"That's ...... so"
Mrs. Caroline's eyes were filled with regret.
She immediately smiled and admired her face again.
"I knew that little Jack, you wouldn't be an ordinary person, you could make a career in the inner city before, and now you are going to Wangcheng to develop...... This is the best news I've heard this year! โ
The two chatted a few more words.
At this time, a huge black and white dog suddenly jumped in from outside the door, its eyes fixed on Chen Lun's body for a moment, and then its tail wagged like a helicopter propeller, and it flew into Chen Lun's arms with a cloud of smoke.
"It's Bab...... It remembers you, little Jack, that you picked it up from the street, and that little fellow knows gratitude and is loyal to me. โ
Mrs. Caroline laughed.
Chen Lun dodged Babu's several "tongue attacks" and grabbed its mouth, and Babu's eyes rolled and stared at him pitifully.
'Sure enough, compared to the last time we met, the body size was larger, and it seems that taking the mysterious substance twice in a row has gradually strengthened Babu's body......
He looked at Babb, and with a silent shake of his hand, a conspiracy low-order substance appeared in his palm, and Bรกb understood it, and with a roll of his tongue, he swallowed it in his mouth.
Chen Lun touched its dog's head.
Bรกb enjoyed it and raised his head and snorted.
In fact, while Chen Lun was stroking it, he also secretly buried a "snake parasite", which was to ensure the safety of it and Mrs. Caroline in the future.
"Alright, let's go play."
Chen Lun patted Babu lightly, and the latter snorted, and then jumped out happily.
He and Mrs. Caroline looked at each other and smiled.
"By the way, can I take a look at Mr. Taut? In the letter, I saw that you said that he was not doing well. โ
"Oh, of course."
Mrs. Caroline nodded, then stood up and pointed upstairs.
"Tauter was resting in his bedroom on the second floor, and he would be glad to know that someone came to see him!"
"I think Mr. Taut would have said, 'Don't keep eating and drinking, you kid, I don't need sympathy.'"
Chen Lun said in imitation of Taote's tone.
Mrs. Caroline covered her mouth and laughed.
"You're right, little Jack, Tauter is such a duplicitous guy, but he still craves to be cared for, and I've been neighbors with him for nearly ten years, so I can't get to know him better."
Immediately afterward, Chen Lun followed Mrs. Caroline upstairs to a bedroom at the end.
Old Mr. Taut was lying on his bed and fell asleep, looking like he had slept soundly.
However, he had been in this state for almost a year, like a vegetative state.
Chen Lun sat on a chair next to the bed, quietly looking at the old man on the bed, Mrs. Caroline looked a little sad, and slowly told him about the past. It can be seen that Mrs. Caroline was deeply touched by the fate of Mr. Taut in order to save her.
"Mrs. Caroline, you should know a little about me...... Mr. Tauter's state is mostly involved in the realm of the occult, and I may be able to do something about it. โ
Chen Lun said in a deep voice.
Mrs. Caroline was not surprised, she nodded and whispered:
"I already know a little bit from Pompeii, and I was surprised to hear that you are now a senior clergyman of the Orthodox Church...... If little Jack you have a way to wake up Tautte, that's a good thing! โ
Chen Lun hummed and responded with a smile.
"Little Jack, what do you want to do? Need my help? โ
Mrs. Carolyn asked hurriedly.
Chen Lun shook his head.
"Just prepare a room for me, Mrs. Caroline, and I want to get a good night's sleep here tonight."
"That's no problem, there's a guest room next to it, and I wash and dry the sheets and quilts in it every once in a while, so you can sleep well, trust me."
Mrs. Caroline stood up and said enthusiastically.
Chen Lun smiled and nodded, and followed her to the bedroom next to him to check it out.
After dinner.
Chen Lun asked Mrs. Caroline to get busy, and he lay down on the bed in the guest room on the second floor early, closed his eyes, and emptied his mind. At the same time, the [Fired Emerald Meditation Method] is running.
Time ticks by, and I don't know how long it has been.
Chen Lun opened his eyes and looked at the wall clock on the wall, the time came to one o'clock in the morning, he secretly said in his heart that the time was up, and then closed his eyes again.
In just a few breaths, Chen Lun fell asleep.
With a high level of willpower, he quickly regained consciousness and began to observe his dream environment......
This time, he found himself in a dilapidated town, the sky was gloomy, and the damp and brackish sea breeze was blowing, indicating that it was a port.
Ignoring all pedestrians, Chen Lun began to wander the streets and alleys of the town, according to Philip and the record of "Dream Town Gatzt", he needed to find a staircase down and enter the dream world from there.
I don't know how long it has been.
Chen Lun walked around the town, and found no basement or entrance to the bottom, and he realized that his subconscious seemed to be resisting, deliberately hiding the entrance to the dream world to protect his safety.
'All the time, you have to fight against yourself......
He sighed.
Immediately, the dream divination method was directly cast.
The foreboding came quickly, and the next second he saw a puddle on the side of the road reflecting a bar plaque.
'Is there ......'
Chen Lun raised his head and saw the flashing light sign of the bar.
He walked straight inside and began to inspect the slightest detail of the bar, even using force and means to get the security guards in the dream to cooperate.
Eventually, he made his way to the middle of the dance floor, on a thick glass floor, with a downward staircase entrance...... The previous guests didn't seem to be able to see or touch this entrance at all, it was like a map of the virtual world.
Chen Lun took a deep breath and walked down the stairs with slow and steady steps.
Soon he had reached the 70th floor and found himself in an empty hall with a large stone gate carved with strange and hideous sea creatures.
'Sleepy Door......
Chen Lun looked up at the stone gate, his face solemn.
