Volume 1 Mountain Village 87: Strange Dreams

"Is the dream okay?"

In the dream, a conversation is unfolding.

"You promised me that you would come to accompany me, help me find the truth of my loss, and let us help each other! Let's be interdependent! ”

"Thanks to you," the part of the mouth that should have been the mouth on the shadow of the giant deer on the ice-made wall opened and closed, and all the previous sounds were made by it, "I learned that it was our common dream, a world that was almost beautiful in our hearts. ”

"In that world, everything is a part of you, including 'yourself' there."

"I don't understand." Another voice sounded, and Fang Nuo, who was the "Dream Master", looked around, but couldn't find where the other party was hiding, "I don't understand what you mean. ”

"You don't need to understand deeply, there are some things that I just need to know."

Damn, could it be that deer who also likes to tell riddles?

Fang Nuo, who could also hear the grievances in the dream, complained a few words in his heart, but suddenly, the surrounding scene changed drastically.

The "Ice Hell" disappeared, and a picture of "floating islands" as far as the eye could see came into view.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding climate changes from the bitter cold of winter to the warmth of spring, and the white snow and ice are replaced by the verdant vegetation of each "floating island".

On one of the islands, Fang Nuomo, hovering in the air, vaguely caught a glimpse of a living thing.

The next moment, his vision suddenly narrowed and he saw the other party's appearance clearly:

It was a tall, snow-white monster with ice-blue flames burning on its neck, back, and joints, and a tail formed purely of blue fire trailing behind it.

Its body is sometimes illusory, sometimes it has a definite substance, and between these two states, the onlooker can see through its body and see what is behind it.

The monster had a pair of large, spectacular horns on its head, crystal clear, and was also entwined with blue flames.

As soon as he saw its appearance, Fang Nuo recognized it as the bearer of the shadow that had been reflected on the ice wall earlier, that is, the "moose" he had previously associated with.

Obviously, this "moose" is a monster.

No, Fang Nuo shook his head in his dream, it should be the "Beast Clan" - including "Demon Beasts", "Immortal Beasts", and "Divine Beasts".

Beside the beast clan in the shape of a giant deer, there was a towering tree, and it stood quietly in the shadow of the canopy, staring into the distance, not knowing where it was looking or what it was thinking.

Who are you?

Fang Nuo rummaged through the information he had learned about the various famous "Demon Beast Families", as well as the relevant information about the immortal beasts whose race and characteristics could be judged by their names.

"I want to leave." At this moment, he heard the voice that did not belong to him or the giant deer sounded again, "I carry too much, and everywhere I go, everyone is shouting that name." ”

“■■! ■■! ■■! ■■! ”

"I can't afford that family name anymore." A figure dressed in an old court dress stepped out from behind the island's only tree and approached a giant deer that resembled a crystal sculpture.

"Take me away, let me go, I will give up my name, my identity, everything I have......"

"No!" Fang Nuo heard the strange human suddenly become excited, "I can give them to you!" ”

"Darling of heaven and earth, son of nature, you have volunteered to protect the lost history, and you will not hesitate to be demoted to the status of an 'evil beast'...... We have the same ambition for each other, we walk on the same path, and now, I'm tired, can you take my place? ”

The "sculpture" finally moved—the giant deer lowered its head, the fire of the ice-blue flames on its horns was no longer vigorous, and his smart eyes showed a look of compassion.

"They can't count on an amnesiac to be the leader!" Humanity, who didn't get a positive response, suddenly erupted, "I forgot what we were trying to do, I can't think of why I would raise the flag against my best friend—"

The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, the more painful he became, and his body slowly fell downward, until he finally fell completely on his knees on the lawn of the floating island, in front of the giant deer.

And Fang Nuo, who witnessed everything that happened in the dream, realized more and more that the human dressed as a nobleman in front of him was probably the "he" mentioned in the exchange between Noka and the witch-

Mastermind of the war of noble rebellion 11 years ago.

Things are getting complicated.

Fang Nuo brushed the hair on the back of his forepaw, feeling that what he had experienced since he left Huangxian Ridge had finally started to get interesting.

Is that moose the "guardian beast" of the human family?

Humans say he's been reduced to an "evil beast...... It's a novel way of saying it.

And what about "amnesia"? Why does a dream contain so much information?

Fang Nuo gradually began to suspect that he was influenced by the two "capable people" around him, so he dreamed of these strange things that should not be able to fight with his eight poles.

However, the fun is true.

Thinking that what he knew, perhaps better than some human being who was the person concerned, Fang Nuo's heart suddenly fluttered.

If only they could tell the ins and outs of the matter in this dream, Fang Nuo wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, and put away his desire for gossip, no, "knowledge".

He was a little reluctant to leave this dream.

Dig a little deeper! He shouted in his heart.

Why do these two guys "point to the end" in every sentence, as if one more word sound will reduce their life by one year!

Say a little more!

Also, don't be so vague when you sign up, you have heard it now, and you don't know the identity of these two guys!

I only know that one is a deer-shaped "monster" that exudes the temperament of a king and a holy white brilliance at any time, and is covered in ice blue flames; One is an embarrassed human aristocrat wearing a dress that hasn't been changed for an unknown number of days, with an open collar, revealing a white underneath and a tattered scarf.

"I've customized my new identity." At this time, he listened to the nobleman who seemed to have just escaped death from the battlefield.

"I took one syllable from the family name and put my mother's surname in front of it...... She is a native of Caslano, and she will bring the news of the war we are leading to her home country. ”

"From now on, the world will be more chaotic." There seemed to be a hint of crying in his words, "You can take my place and witness the next 'history'." ”

"That's your duty, Nature's child."

"Yes."

Fang Nuo suddenly noticed that the voice of the giant deer was different from before—if he had been mimicking the human tone and speaking in an approachable tone, now his voice seemed deeper, more mature, and more ethereal and divine.

Moreover, it was a little indescribably familiar, but Fang Nuo couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"This will be the last thing this seat will do for you."

There has also been a change in self-profes.

"This seat prophesied your death, accept it with all sincerity, human race."

The ice-blue flames enveloped the giant deer's whole body in an instant, as if using him as firewood, burning even more violently.

A fiery figure stepped out of the frenzied blue flames.

Fang Nuo couldn't see his face clearly, only to see him stretch out his arm wearing bright silver gauntlets, and gently push it on the shoulder of the down-and-out aristocratic human.

The other party immediately fell from the floating island, and soon, his figure was invisible.

Under the towering giant tree, only the figure of the blue fire cloak and antler-shaped "ornaments" on both sides of the cheeks remained.

Fang Nuo, who had witnessed all this, was dumbfounded in the air, he didn't expect events to unfold so quickly in the dream.

Before he could figure out the identities of the two sides of the conversation, one of the guys was "murdered" by the other!

But it's a dream, right? Not only for him, but also for those two guys.

Falling off a floating island may mean waking up from a dream.

Doesn't being suspended in the air mean that you will never wake up?

The snow-white beast swayed left and right above the islands, and from time to time it took off into an upside-down pose.

While playing with the treasure, he glanced at the blue fire figure under the tree with his spare eyes, and was surprised to find that his face, which was originally covered in flames, had changed to resemble the down-and-out nobleman just now.

Aside from details such as eye color that can be modified in other ways, his deformation is so remarkable that there are no obvious flaws.

"Funoch."

The other party's face, which had been stiffened after a night of soaking in ice water, squeezed out a terrifying smile without warning, and then gently called out the name of the little beast above his head.

Fang Nuo was awakened by the start.

It turns out that there is no need to do all kinds of strange movements or simulate the feeling of falling, as long as you are frightened, you can naturally wake up from your dream.

What a monster deer, the little beast that returned to reality thought to himself.

Although he was doing "lucid dreaming", there were some details that he couldn't remember clearly after waking up.

Fortunately, the content that aroused his interest, he tried his best, and he can still recall it.

After that, as long as he remembers the strange dream repeatedly, what he saw and heard in the dream can be engraved into his mind, and he can use it as he pleases in the future.

If only I could be so serious about learning human characters.

Fang Nuo, who felt that he was getting out of bed, sighed and got up from the center of the flower-shaped cushion.

As soon as the claws were extended, they came across something that did not exist before they fell asleep.

After pressing the sequelae of being easily startled after having strange dreams, Fang Nuo looked at it and realized that it was actually a piece of pastry.

A small snack that is not too delicate, with a rose petal glued to the top.

With one paw, it was slimy, and inside was rose sauce, and the "glutinous rice" that should not be in the raw materials prepared by the guys last night.

What the hell?

Fang Nuo rubbed the sticky object from his paw against the table, jumped off the cushion, and took a few steps to the edge of the table.

Immediately, he was shocked by what he saw.

The sofa, floor, chairs, and metal lid of the cauldron are filled with all kinds of "rose snacks".

It's all the work of that guy last night.

He has nowhere to put his feet!

Panic, those guys! Fang Nuo's eyes flashed, and a sturdy bridge was built between the table and the door in an instant.

He rushed to the door along the bridge he had made and kicked it open.

The witch was going to the chariot merchant's appointment this morning, and she should have been there by now.

After listening to the message that "Mr. Yo" wanted to convey, she should have other commissions to complete.

Probably, he will also be responsible for sending Noka's sister to school.

There's also work to be done to find the missing (deceased) Lady Iris.

Thinking of this, Fang Nuo, who was already squatting on the grass outside the door, glanced back at the many "rose snacks" behind the open door.

"There's nothing wrong with going crazy at night."

Sighing, he listened to the constant morning birdsong (noise) in his ears, thinking about the contents of last night's strange dream, and thinking about what he was going to do today.
