Dream.

In recent times, Rednia has been dreaming constantly.

There are two types of dreams.

The first dream was that He repeatedly returned to that cold afternoon: the factory, the snow, the broken leg.

The pain continued to spread in his thighs, and no matter how much time passed, He could not forget it.

The second is to start talking to another familiar man.

"Leoz's rejection of me is almost at the limit, I don't know if I can hold out until the truce of 1130, Liali is almost out of it, and I have a hunch that she may be banished in a few months."

The man leaned lightly on the armrest, leaning against the lonely throne, his face resting, his temples were white, and although there was not a trace of wrinkles, he was too old compared to when they first met 20 years ago.

Rednia didn't remember his face or who he was, but she knew she was on good terms with him.

She was as intimate with the man who couldn't remember his face as a child and his father.

It wasn't the first time she had heard the name, so she couldn't help asking:

"You and [the Emperor] have both spoken the name Leoz, who is he?"

"You also know that this planet, Haynes is essentially a dream, formed by the dream of the titular creator, but this dream is so large that it needs an anchor and target to regulate the scope of the dream, so that the dream does not swallow the entire universe."

The man shook his head and said:

"Realize is that anchor, and you can understand that he is the administrator of the whole dream and the rules themselves, and it is he who single-handedly creates the real society."

"Reality, Secret, Outland."

She muttered:

"This dream brings together three social orders."

"Rednia, in the astral plane, civilization is an appendage of society, and society is a transcendent life form that overrides everything and can plunder and intervene in the real and objective world through certain concepts. Civilization is a subsidiary of society, civilized creatures are the food of society, and without civilized creatures to support society, society cannot intervene in the objective world. ”

The man explained:

"Behind human beings is the real society promoted by Leoz, and from this point of view, our hidden society is the intruder, and the real society is the relationship between predators and prey. It is our fundamental task to be able to completely take down the real society represented by Leoz and let the secret devour them. ”

Rednia always nodded in her dreams:

"I agree with that idea."

She peeled the apple with a knife:

"I came back for an important purpose, which is to ask you about secret and realistic things - now all the professionals who have been retrained seven times have been exiled by the real society, and most of the low-concentration professionals around me have been unable to contact the hidden society, and even the professionals who have been retrained five times cannot communicate with the secret society."

"Leoz."

The curator said firmly:

"Leoz must have found a communication between the Hidden Society and Haynes, and [scholar] Leari believes that Leoz has completely blocked it from other planes."

"But as I remember, Haines doesn't have a border with other planes, and if you want to connect, you have to find wormholes to other universes through the astral plane."

Red frowned:

"Unless Leoz has a helper in the astral plane."

"Or guess further," said the curator, "Leoz is in the stars." ”

If it was in the past, Rednia would follow the trajectory of the dream and reply step by step: "This is impossible, all the high-ranking professionals are in the starry sky, and it is impossible for Leoz to put himself in danger." This doesn't make sense. ”

But when she entered the dream this time, she personally pushed away the girl who was peeling the apple, stepped on the man's armrest, and stared at each other with platinum eyes:

“…… Do you say the Pantheon? ”

"Rednia - have you used the Emerald Dragon's abilities to get back here? Unfortunately, I can't be remembered by you anymore. ”

"You don't have to answer that, your existence has been completely erased."

Rednia said lightly:

"What do you know about Leoz? I've been serving by His side for a thousand years, and I haven't understood His true identity, what is the Pantheon? What exactly does Leoz rely on to control the real world? How is His plan for the real society structured? ”

The man leaned against the lonely throne, his eyes as clear as jewels staring at her.

After being silent for a long time, the man said slowly:

“…… Rednia, you've suffered a lot in the future. ”

"That's not what you need to think about."

Rednia's heart is as cold and hard as a stone, and she will not be touched by a few words of concern from the other party.

"I remember the first time I saw you, Rednia, you appeared at that Trekki family's confession dinner, replacing my real child, Van Grey Trych, and becoming the eldest lady of the family as Rednia Tryckey."

The man recalled the past and said with a smile:

"You talk a lot about me, you are calm, you are angry, you are elegant and magnificent, you are not an illegitimate child who grew up in the country at all. To be honest, your acting skills are so terrible that you almost have 'someone behind me' written on your face. ”

"You have also inflicted aetheric blood on me, and I have passed the test. Took over the Collector's legacy—that's the kid you really need, and I showed up and took over that, didn't I? ”

Rednia said calmly:

"Even though I forgot who you were, I did become the greatest [collector] in the future."

"Rednia...... Do you know? Your eyes at that time were clear, firm, unwilling to accept the status quo, and you had a hatred for the bottom world and a belief in reaching the top. ”

The man replied equally calmly:

"And now, your eyes are full of confusion."

"You lose your desires, you keep failing, you fail, you keep betraying, you betray, you are betrayed, you are betrayed, you are betrayed by other people."

"Rednia, Red, my child, the flame of your lust has been extinguished, and all that remains is loneliness and emptiness. You don't see your future, you don't know what you want, everything you love, everything you love, everything you love, is consumed in your mediocre life. ”

Rednia was unmoved.

The man lowered his head and sighed:

"You're smarter than anyone else, Rednia, you're too smart, but [Collector] isn't the way to be smart, you should learn to be curious, greedy, rich, entertained—"

"And eternity."

Rednia said.

“…… You've finally found it, but what have you left behind? ”

The man looked at her with a smile:

"Curiosity, greed, wealth, entertainment, eternity – what do you mean by being a collector, Rednia?"

Rednia is calm:

"Everything is for eternity, and without eternity, the other four are meaningless."
