"So, I'm dreaming?"

Emlyn looked down at his hands, and he was no longer wearing a gown in reality, but a suit of armor. The inner layer is chain mail made of iron rings, and the outer layer is a full-body plate armor with a dark silver color. There seemed to be a cloak around his neck, but the cloak was already in tatters, with only a little fabric left at the root.

On his left waist hangs a forsythia sword, and on his back is an iron iron-shaped shield, the front of which is painted with a 'sword' emblem of intricate patterns, and the slash marks left by the sword.

Overall, it looks like an ancient knight's outfit.

Such attire was still in vogue even a few decades ago, in the last glory days of knights.

The cuirass-clad knights charged wildly at the array of muskets and cannons to destroy their opponents and level the line, but unfortunately, they soon ushered in the invention and installation of high-pressure steam rifles and six-barreled machine guns, and from then on, the traditional knights were completely useless.

High-pressure steam rifles can easily pierce their breastplates, and six-barreled machine guns can directly plug hordes of knights! In front of the army, armed with steam rifles and six-barreled machine guns, the charging knights were reduced to live targets.

"It's too real." Emlyn whispered a sigh of emotion.

Feeling emotional, Emlyn suddenly frowned, and reached out to touch his right waist, which he felt very uncomfortable. After fumbling for a while, he removed a dark green glass bottle from his waist, which contained a golden liquid.

【Original Bottle】

[Dark green glass bottle,

It is a treasure of the dead.

Accumulate elements through campfires and drink them to restore your HP.

Since ancient times, the undead have always walked between campfires,

And the original bottle has been traveling with it. 】

"Primordial bottles? Restore HP? ”

A look of confusion flashed in Emlyn's eyes, and he didn't know why. To this day, he was still confused by what had happened. He didn't know what he was going to do, he just instinctively looked around, vigilantly observing his surroundings.

A second ago he was in front of Duke Olmer's grave, dreaming on a bed made of grass. Here in the next second, +

Appeared in a desolate cemetery, lying in a coffin.

He was surrounded only by nameless tombstones and sarcophagi, broken or intact, buried in the ground or exposed, but regardless of their state, they were piled up one after another.

Some of the sarcophagi had been opened, and the interior was empty, as if the bodies buried in them had left on their own, like Emlyn who had just crawled out of the grave.

But compared to the sheer number of sarcophagi in the cemetery, the open part is nothing to mention. As far as the eye can see, the entire cemetery is crowded with nameless tombstones and sarcophagi, leaving almost no gaps. Even a rough estimate puts the number of sarcophagi here in the tens of thousands!

There was only one road in front of him, and the other three sides were blocked by towering tombstones and cliffs.

"So, just explore ahead, right?" Emlyn muttered to herself, quickly identifying her goal.

Although I don't understand why I dreamed of this, I guess it must be inextricably linked to Lord Lord Omer. And since the adult let himself have such a dream, he must have hoped that he could do something in the dream.

And whatever Duke Olmer wants them to do in their dreams, exploration is the first step.

As he walked along, he soon came across a 'man'.

A 'man' wrapped in black clothing, revealing bony limbs and a withered face. Even from a distance, Emlyn could hear the beast-like roar coming from the other man's mouth.

It was more of a living corpse than a person in the traditional sense, and this made Emlyn wonder if the other party could communicate......

Emlyn was still hesitating, but the living corpses had already discovered his presence. The whole person seemed to have become 'spiritual' all of a sudden, and roared and raised the straight sword in his hand, which had broken more than half of the sword body, and rushed towards him.

Although he still didn't understand what was going on, Emlyn reacted immediately.

He held the shield in his left hand, but he didn't draw the sword at his waist.

As a Bloodliner, he certainly had a certain level of melee training, and he was quite comfortable with the use of his sword.

But instead of using a sword, he's better at using the Bloodline's traditional fighting style—

The five nails on his right hand suddenly grew an extra section, the tips were sharp, covered with black patterns and symbols.

At the moment when the living corpse slashed with a broken straight sword, Emlyn had already raised his shield to block the opponent's attack. At the same time, he stabbed his right hand, which stretched out his sharp corrosive claws, into the opponent's neck and tore it hard.

Syllable!

The corpses of the living corpses separated, and they collapsed to the ground weakly, and the broken straight sword also lost its support, falling to the ground with a crisp sound.

【+20】

But Emlyn did not have the joy of defeating the enemy, but frowned slightly.

First, killing a living corpse in a dream is not commendable.

Second, Emlyn can clearly realize that this is a dream, but why can he use extraordinary abilities in dreams?

In addition to this, there is a third point -

There are a total of twelve Bloodlines who have 'dreamed' in front of Lord Olmer, but why hasn't he met anyone else so far? Is it someone else who doesn't fall asleep? Or have the others already been killed by these living corpses?

Also, what is this +20?

"Not really, right?"

Emlyn had a strange expression, the blood clan who fell into the dream was not a viscount or a baron, so he couldn't even handle these living corpses, right? But if not, then where did they go? Have you left early?

But if they're gone, why are these living corpses still here? Haven't they been attacked by living corpses?

After all, what's going on with this dream?

——

In front of a clearing beside a cliff, a blonde girl wearing a long light blue dress that made it easy to move stood in the middle of the clearing, in front of a pile of white bones with a spiral sword stuck in it.

Audrey reached out and touched the bonfire lightly, and the next moment the fire ignited on its own as if sensing something.

"Is this a campfire?"

Audrey's eyes lit up slightly, and she whispered to herself.

Since the last time she experienced Adam, she and Calula have gotten along so well that Carula even invites her to 'dream' with her. And Audrey is indeed very curious about the dream that Calula constructed, after all, this is something that even Adam in Sequence 1 has to pay attention to, so she gladly accepted Callula's invitation.

As a result, one second she was sleeping peacefully in her soft velvet bedding, and the next moment she was in the cemetery.

Fortunately, Audrey was prepared for all this and quickly adapted to the changes around her.

Even as a 'closed beta player', she didn't have to be born with a random class like everyone else, but chose to start the game with the 'useless one' at the suggestion of Kalula, allowing her to bring everything in reality to life, including the dress on her body.

Although she encountered many living corpses blocking the road along the way, with the help of psychological stealth, Audrey was able to make her way to the campfire without experiencing a fight.

The only thing that puzzled Audrey was that Calullah had said that many people should have gone into the dream with her, but why didn't she see any of them? Could it be because of the peculiarity of dreams?

Confused, Audrey decided to move on.

Using psychological stealth, she bypassed many or handle-level trails along the way.

Eventually, a towering wall blocked her path.

There are three arched entrances below the walls, but two of the shorter ones appear to be merely ornamental, all of which are blocked by masonry, with only the arched doorway on the far right unobstructed.

Through the arched doorway, a wide but dilapidated 'square' appeared in front of Audrey.

The right side of the square is a cliff, and the left side is blocked by walls and piles of tombstones, and large trees with branches protruding from the ground. In front of it was another wall, and below it was a closed gate.

And in the center of the square, a tall figure half-crouched on the ground. Even when he is half-squatting, he is still far taller than Audrey, and even more than most adult men.

He wears a bright silver ornate suit of armor with a large number of intricate and elaborate patterns engraved on it. To his right is a halberd with a spiral pattern inserted diagonally into the ground.

His left chest was pierced by a spiral sword, which seemed to be restricting his movements. On the back of its neck, there are some black tentacles that flow like liquid, constantly squirming outward.

Even if it was the first time she saw this kind of thing, Audrey still instinctively felt disgusted and frowned.

And given that the tall knight was strong at first glance, Audrey cautiously decided to bypass him-

Since she was promoted from Sequence 7 to Sequence 5 overnight, Audrey still has no experience with any enemies. And since psychological stealth avoids combat, there is no need for unnecessary combat.

Although there is psychological invisibility, Audrey still looks at the half-kneeling tall knight vigilantly, worried that the other party will suddenly stand up and give her a fatal blow. But none of this happened, and Audrey made her way to the closed bronze door.

If it's still a low sequence, Audrey may be stumped by this closed door.

However, after being promoted to Sequence 6 'Hypnotist', the physical fitness of the extraordinary person in the 'audience' path will be greatly enhanced. Both strength and agility have surpassed the level of ordinary humans.

And the 'Dream Walker' in Sequence 5 will also be greatly strengthened in physical fitness.

In terms of physical fitness alone, it is not inferior to other extraordinary people of the same order.

"Whew!"

Audrey took a deep breath and put her hands on the two panels of the door, pushing it tentatively.

Thundered!

With a heavy thumping sound, a girl in a light blue dress pushed the door open, revealing a gap large enough for one person to pass through.

"Huh?"

Audrey blinked, it seemed a little simpler than expected.

Looking back at the tall knight still half-kneeling in the middle of the square, Audrey turned back to continue exploring. Her gaze made contact with a tombstone in front of her, in front of which was a large rickety skeleton. And on the bones, there was a white ball of light.

Audrey reached out curiously and touched it, and a line of prompts instantly appeared in front of her eyes:

【Broken Straight Sword】

[A straight sword that breaks off half of the blade.]

It's no longer a weapon,

Unless it's a mad geist,

Otherwise, the average person probably won't use it.

Skill: Prepare to attack

Prepare a normal attack that follows after the attack

Shield-wielding enemies can disrupt the balance from below;

When attacking heavily, you can shoot an arrow and stab upwards to attack.

It can be used on a flexible basis.

It's just that it's hard to be decent with a broken straight sword. 】

"This is the weapon in the hands of those living corpses?"

Audrey thoughtfully put away her broken sword and continued up the broken staircase.

The staircase is flanked by weedy clearings dotted with a large number of tombstones. Underneath some of the tombstones, there are also 'geists' with weapons in hand. And farther to the left and right, there are bottomless cliffs.

Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, you can only see the bottomless white fog, and the hazy snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Meandering up the staircase, a towering building finally appeared in front of Audrey's eyes.

Through the arched doorway, the vision is dim for a moment.

But soon, under the candle lighting all over the building, I saw a scene that shocked Audrey-

She saw five thrones, five symmetrically arranged thrones!

These thrones range in size to size, and each throne is surrounded by a considerable number of candles.

It seems to be an elegy to the masters of the throne, and it seems to be a tribute to them.

Four of the thrones were now in the air, except for a small figure sitting on the second throne on the left.

He was dressed in bright red and wore a crown on his head, and his chin was propped up with his hands as if in contemplation.

Audrey looked down and realized that she was on the 'second floor' of the building.

The building as a whole is circular, and the second floor is built with a staircase at the edge.

On one side there are five thrones, on the other side is the 'entrance' for Audrey to enter the building, and on the right there are two staircases, one leading to the 'first floor' and the other to the 'third floor'.

On the stairs on the first floor sat a 'knight' with his head bowed and a sword on his back.

He doesn't seem to be the same as the living corpses outside, and is someone to communicate with.

"Welcome to the campfire, Lord Ash without fire."

The girl walked downstairs and was about to talk to the knight with his head bowed, when suddenly a soft voice sounded in her ear.

Audrey paused, stunned for a moment, she thought the voice was familiar.

She turned her head and saw a lady in a black dress standing in front of the disc on the left, looking at Audrey with a gentle smile.

Audrey looked at the other party's face and almost blurted out:

"Kalu ......"

The lady interrupted her with a smile and introduced herself to herself:

"I'm the Firewoman—the one who maintains the campfire, and serves you."

"If you need help retrieving the kings who have abandoned their thrones, please call me."

"Huh?"

Audrey blinked, so Calula do you also have a 'role' in this dream?
