Chapter 206: Wake Up the Stranger
Alka's own room.
He was leaning back on his bedside and thinking, a thought that had existed long before he first discovered that it was a human dream.
Wake the man up in the dream so you can get more information.
However, when he first saw the man's dream, Arka had no idea where the man was, and he didn't know what was really going on at this time.
But after this day of exploring, Arka has learned a lot about the island.
Through a complete map, and the treasures on the map, it is clear how dangerous the island is.
Just now, when he was in that dream, he also asked the man about his condition at this time, although he did not get any answer.
He wakes up at this point, and there will be a final compilation of this information before deciding whether or not to wake him up from his dream.
The only consequence of awakening the enemy is that the owner of the dream is responsible for all the causes of the island.
In this case, there is a good chance that the awakening of Arka will reveal some information.
Let their actions tomorrow be unexpected.
There are risks, but for Arka, they have the absolute initiative.
And there is also a treasure hunt system to help analyze the information, whether the information he says is true or false, Arka can consider it.
And when the time comes, these points of light will also be correctly reflected.
Thinking of this, Arka immediately lay down and quickly sank into the dream.
Without the slightest pause, he quickly flew towards the dream bubble, and after a while, he saw the existence of the dream bubble.
The scene in the dream was no different from when he had just left.
Descended onto the deck, entered the central command room, and sat down next to the man once more.
However, Arka didn't immediately touch it and wake it up.
After thinking for a while, a mirror appeared on his face.
Reaching out and dotting on the mirror, the mirror of his face shattered instantly, and then the special effect composed of mirror fragments completely obscured Alka's face.
A pink mist poured out of the crystals on his chest, enveloping the Alka.
His clothes were then changed.
A black top hat was placed on his head, a black formal suit was put on his body, and a staff of civilization appeared in his hand.
No matter what the identity of the person in front of you is, disguise is essential.
When everything was ready, Arka stood beside him, wearing a pair of white-gloves that fit snugly, and placed his hand on the shoulder of the dream master next to him.
With the touch of Alca.
The man in front of him kept his eyes fixed on the deck in front of him, and then there was confusion in his determined eyes.
The confusion quickly turned into Qingming.
The hands that were originally held on the chest naturally fell down.
He turned his head to look around.
"This ...... The steel melody intact? I'm not dreaming, am I? β
Then he jumped to the side, and I don't know if it was because of his weakness or for some reason.
Instead of getting up immediately, he fell to the ground, but jerked backwards twice, opening up distance from AlcalΓ‘.
Then he looked at Arka with very vigilant eyes.
Look at this strange person in front of you, if it's a human being.
After all, Arka's entire face is now a special effect composed of broken mirrors.
"Who are you? Why is it on this ship. β
Arka folded his hands in front of him, holding the staff of civilization, turned his head slightly to look at him.
Looking at Alka's face as he turned his head, the man shrank back again.
"It's your dream, and I'm ...... You can call me a magician. β
"Here is my ...... Dreamland? He repeated slightly, then leaned against the wall next to him and pushed himself to his feet.
After looking at Arka vigilantly for a few moments, and making sure that Arka didn't make any additional moves, he turned his head to look at the outside deck, and then looked at the environment.
He looks very carefully at his surroundings and seems to want to distinguish between real and fake.
Arka observed the man in front of him like this.
Hanging hands, weak steps, swaying bodies.
This person's situation in reality is much worse than he thought.
Suddenly being awakened in a dream can clearly reflect his physical condition in reality.
For example, the hanging hands, whether he fell to the ground or stood up, he let his hands hang down naturally, without the slightest awareness of using his hands to assist his movements.
He didn't even use his hands to support the natural reaction of the fall, and just like that, he slammed the floor.
This performance clearly showed Arka that there must be a problem with his hands in the outside world, and they should be broken.
Just like Lucilia in the past, normal dreaming can walk like a normal person, and once she regains her sobriety, she will bring the reality into her dreams.
He fell to the ground on the spot.
Looking at the man's weak appearance, and his slightly bent body, it was a sign of hunger.
While Arka was observing him, he was also observing the ship, and looked at Arka with his peripheral vision.
Eventually, he determined that it was indeed a dream.
"You came to my dream and woke me up, is there something wrong?"
He was almost certain that it was the person in front of him who woke him up.
Even if it's not him, it has something to do with him.
Arka turned to look at him, and then asked quietly, "Do you know where you are in reality?" β
The man looked at him.
After a moment of silence, he spoke, "In the forward channel, it should be on an island outside the gate of the Confusion Ocean. β
Hearing this, Arka nodded.
Then he said: "I was also on the way forward, and on such a channel, I met a human with a very strange dream, so I came in curiously to take a look." β
After Arka finished speaking, he saw that the man in front of him was already starting to raise his hands slightly.
Did he find out? His own hands are back.
Being able to control it a little so quickly, it seems that he lost his hands not long ago, and it is definitely not a congenital problem.
"You're on the way forward, too." He muttered to himself.
Then he frowned, as if thinking about something.
Arka was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
"You must have woken me up to know something from me, and ask if I knew.
But if you can, I hope you can come to where I am and get me out. β
He looked at Arka and said sincerely.
Hearing this, Arka smiled slightly, but because of the mirror's shattering effect, this smile was obscured.
This man is very smart, he understands the current situation so quickly, and it seems that his situation outside is indeed very, very poor.
He may well be his last straw.
"Very well, if it works, I will come to help you when I pass by where you are, provided that there is no problem with your words."
"Of course, as it should be."
Arka nodded, then turned to look at him.
"Do you know what you're going to do? In reality. β
The man nodded and said, "Yes, although I don't know the exact time, I have probably been outside for many years."
I was stranded on an island, unable to move in reality, and I didn't even know where I was, but for special reasons, I was confined and fixed in the state I was in. β
Then his expression was slightly lonely: "I still haven't died yet, I can still dream, and I can still feel my hunger, which means that my team has suffered an accident."
But the fact that I'm alive means that the enemy may not be in a good situation either. β
So, are the two ships on the island hostile?
Arka nodded in understanding, then motioned for him to continue.
"There was a violent clash between our troops and our enemy, and in the clash I was seriously wounded and put under temporary treatment, that is, a state of confinement.
This state of affairs can make people immobilized and unable to move freely, which is very unbearable, but it can save life and ensure that they can survive until they receive treatment.
Our ship and the other ship's were transferred to the sky by some powerful spell effect and were falling downward, and I lost consciousness at this time. β
Speaking of which, without waiting for Arka to ask, he made a summary of the situation in his place at this time.
"But now that I'm neither dead nor out of this state, then it's very likely that the situation on the outside is a lose-lose situation, or even all of them."
This is a very reasonable speculation, unless his team deliberately kept him in such a state.
In his opinion, such a possibility is almost unlikely.
Arka nodded in understanding.
That is to say, he is now in a state where he can feel the passage of time and can be hungry.
But because of a certain ability of his teammates, his state is fixed, and his actions are fixed.
It is equivalent to a soul fixed in a shell.
There is no mental problem, which already shows that he has strong willpower.
If he tells the truth.
But what he said was very much in line with what they had seen on the island during the day today.
The two ships did look like they had fallen from the sky, both in their shattered state and in their impact on their surroundings.
"What's the name of your team? Who are your enemies? Alka asked after waiting for a while.
For such a question, the man in front of him did not hide it in the slightest, and said slowly: "The team I am in belongs to the Holy Machine Church, and it is an excavation group under the church, called Cross Hands. As for our enemies, it is the apostate, a group led by a Sage of the Order of Flesh and Blood. β
Apostate...... It seems that the last time he met the scarlet evil spirit, he was also an apostate of the Holy Machine Church, and he also formed a sect of his own.
Apostate is a feature of the Holy Machine Church?
Arka couldn't help but think so, mainly because the information related to the Holy Machine Church on both occasions had the presence of apostates.
Either way, if this information is true, the treasure information will definitely be expanded.
"Do the leaders of your team and this rebel have the treasure in their hands?"
The man nodded without hesitation.
"They all have them, and the name of the treasure in the hands of the leader of our team is [Halo of Light], which is known to many people. As for the specific role, I am unreasonable, I can't tell you. β
Arka nodded in understanding.
After all, the leader of the team he used to be is not necessarily dead, who knows the specific situation.
"Thank you for your understanding, but I can tell the apostate about the treasure.
Although the specific name of the treasure is unknown, it was once a treasure in the possession of the Church. It is said to have a great bonus in crafting spell constructs. β
Hearing the information of this treasure, Alka's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.
Mantra Construct ...... For a moment, he thought of the undead monsters he had encountered on the island yesterday, and the constructs that replenished their limbs, and the connection between the two was a little too big.
Could it be that this treasure is the cause?
"And do you know the main attack of this apostate?"
This is an easy-to-answer question, but the man in front of him shook his head a little embarrassed.
"The day I clashed with the apostates, it was the first time I had seen them, so I didn't know much about their offensive methods," he explained.
Especially the leading Sage, I was on the verge of death before he made a move, and my former position on the ship was just a mechanic, belonging to the logistics unit. β
Hearing this, Arka nodded.
A mechanic...... What kind of profession is this? Is it unique to the Ocean of Confusion?
"Mechanic?"
Hearing Alka's question, the man knew immediately that the person in front of him must be from other seas.
While there had been such a rebellion before, it was almost certain now.
After all, the profession of mechanic is a very normal profession that everyone knows in the sea area where he is located.
Thinking of this, he spoke: "A profession with a delicate structure of castings, which can be regarded as a branch of the caster, or an advanced profession.
Compared to a caster, there is more to learn, more profound knowledge, and more elaborate techniques. β
Hearing this, Arka nodded, although it was a little different from what he thought, but it was not bad.
It seems that in the Ocean of Confusion, constructs and similar technologies are well developed.
"Do you have any advice if I come to the island you spoke of to save you?"
"Hmm...... I don't know what's going on out there, and of course it's certainly not safe, so be careful. β
Arka nodded in understanding.
"Having said all this, I don't know your name yet, what's your name?"
"Simon, Simon Pobran." Simon hurriedly replied.
Arka nodded, then stretched out his hand, shook it with him, and said, "Okay Simon, I hope you're lucky enough to have a chance to rescue you." β
Then Arka came to the deck in front of him and flew into the sky until he disappeared.
walked very decisively and did not give Simon any chance to speak.
"This unknown gentleman seems to be asking strange questions." Simon muttered to himself.
All the questions that Arka had just asked, it didn't seem to matter.
So he woke himself up to his dream, what did he want to know?
Or as he said, it was only because he saw a human dream appear in another place, so he came in out of curiosity to wake him up.
Anyway, he could just tell from some of Arka's answers and questions that the unknown gentleman had the idea of saving him.
These are all questions that surround his situation at this time.
That's enough.
This finally soothed his heart a little, and he was already about to be tormented and crazy by his external situation.
Whether or not the gentleman would save him, at least he would wake himself up in a dream, and it would be his best day in years.
Thinking of this, he sat directly on the floor, leaning against the wall next to him.
Here you can see your surroundings, no longer dark, although you can still feel hunger.
But enough.
At least he was able to move.
I lay like this for a while.
He looked at the blue sky and suddenly frowned.
So here's the problem.
How am I going to get out? How do I wake up?
Although this state is also quite good.
β¦β¦
Arka had now returned to her dream.
"I don't know if that Simon will think that I did it on purpose after knowing that he can't leave the dream, anyway, I will wronged him first."
He deliberately didn't tell that Simon how to wake up, and he didn't help him wake up.
Arka had already proven it with Lucilia and Shadetti.
It was still difficult to wake up alone, especially when Simon's soul and mental state were extremely bad.
Coupled with his frozen state in the outside world, no one will push him in the outside world and wake him up.
Although Arka feels that with his strength and willpower, it is possible to wake up with his own abilities after a while.
But there must be a long process in between, and the time it takes in between is what Arka wants.
In between, there was enough time for Arka and them to make their move and explore the island.
In this way, whether Simon is friend or foe, it is not easy to disturb their exploration.
It's just a small layer of insurance on the Arca.
After a brief rest, Arka woke up directly.
At this time, the sky was only slightly bright, and it was still a long time before the early morning.
After Arka washed up briefly, he took out the map directly on his desk.
Looking at the light spot above, he reached out and clicked on it.
He's going to have the final information check now, and after last night's exchange, more information should come out.
This expanded information will greatly help them in their exploration today, and it will also be possible to know whether the person is lying or not.
Thinking of this, Arka reached out and brushed it across the map, and first clicked on the most important golden point of light.
Come on, let me see whose treasure is left there.
