Chapter Eighty-Three: The Road in the Mist

"If that's the case, I guess no matter how detailed the information is, you don't know it yourself."

Esther could only reluctantly agree with Amon's words: "Yes, I have already told you the most crucial information."

"Have you been there?" Since the connection with the doppelganger was broken, this is the question Amon is most curious about, "'Dreamland', which sounds very interesting."

"I can't go there." Esther said this, and the dagger in her hand spun around on its own, unhappy that it had been used to make a diagram, but it did not break free of Esther's hand.

Amun's eyes widened in surprise, "There are still places you can't go, and I'm starting to worry about that little boat."

"Because I can't dream—I can enter into other people's pre-constructed dreams, but I can't on my own."

Esther frowned, continued to grasp the defiant dagger, and made a cross on the ground: "When I am asleep, I just enter a state of self-regulation, I have no dreams, if it is the source castle is more active, my consciousness will occasionally flow to it, but it will not directly return to the spirit world."

"So you took the initiative to divide your consciousness and put it in this container, and created an identity and memory for it?"

Esther glanced at Amon with a curious face: "It's not created, only the body is fake, identity and memory...... It's all real."

"Really?"

Esther was silent for a few seconds before she sighed, "Since I've told you everything, I should tell me where I'm going, right?" I'm a big believer in your ability to explore that world, after all, I haven't been there, and maybe when that ship comes back to reality, I don't know as much about it as your doppelganger."

It's an obvious lie, and she won't open her mouth in any more cases, or she just doesn't know.

Amon pushed his monocle, seemingly unenthusiastic about Esther's proposal, "Although I promised you—"

"You want to break the contract?" Esther immediately grabbed the conversation and asked Amon first.

She knew very well in her heart that the more she let this guy talk, the easier it would be for him to lead her by the nose.

Amon smiled and shook his head, "Then I have to say that you think too much, I seem to be so dishonest at all?"

「…… Do you really have it?"

Amon shook his head regretfully and patted Esther on the shoulder, and in the next moment, the surrounding environment had changed.

Esther's hand was so frightened by the sudden blow that her short sword was already upside down, but she suppressed her instinctive counterattack and did not spit out any direct orders.

In Amon's smiling eyes, Esther cleared her throat, "Well, thank you."

"You're welcome, I should have thrown you to the far west, and then watched you go all the way east, it would have been more interesting."

Esther tugged at the unfunny prank, and then turned her gaze to the east.

Even from a distance of 100 meters, there was something that stood out from the darkness - a grayish-white fog that enveloped anyone's line of sight from the bottom up, obscuring the ground and the sky, completely blocking the world on both sides.

Amon also followed Esther's gaze, "There is a surviving city nearby, and my father left them to guard this place, waiting for anyone to come out of the fog. Now that I think about it, is it waiting for you?"

"Have you ever been so innocent? Of course not waiting for me." Esther replied.

"Anyway, after all these years, they are still in this vicinity, and nothing new has been discovered."

Esther's expression looked a little lighter, "It doesn't look like it has changed much, after all, the seal left by essentia can only be loosened by essentia, and since the city still exists, it means that their situation is not optimistic."

"They?"

Esther's tone was flat, and she stepped in the direction of the boundless mist, "Yes, the rest of the essentia."

"Wait, you're just going to get there?" Amon

This time the surprise was not pretended, although he did not stop Esther, he also took two quick steps and followed her suspiciously, "Are you going to walk in directly?"

Esther rightly asked, "yes, what's the problem?"

"You're just a ...... now"

"Sequence three, I know it myself," Esther picked up Amon's pause, and she walked forward without looking back, "I didn't intend to open that barrier, and I don't have that kind of permission."

Esther glanced back at Amon, who couldn't understand the strange look in his eyes, but it made him stop and just look at his back in front of him.

Esther smiled and said to Him, "I'm just going to see, don't worry."

As Esther turned around, the smile on Amon's face faded and became more and more distant in the darkness, and soon, his figure disappeared like the previous smile on his face.

Esther didn't care about this, and it was only after walking a distance that she remembered something else, there was a whole bag of mushroom spores in Amon's place, and of course, her satchel as well.

Esther looked left and right, and finally gave up the idea of asking into the air "Are you there", if she wanted to approach the barrier, it was not convenient for her to carry so many things, as for Amon, would he really take good care of those special mushrooms?

Esther had a subtle concern in her heart.

From far and near, Esther felt a faint sense of oppression, and as she got closer to the barrier, the repulsion became stronger.

This seemed to her to be a good thing—it meant that the seal as a whole was still continuing, and even if there was a gap elsewhere, the sealed essentia was not free to enter the outside world, but was spreading a stronger influence through the extraordinary properties that connected with it.

As Esther approached the gray wall of fog, a ripple rippled from the otherwise calm surface, stirring up a circular wave. However, this movement was not very strong, and the ripples in front of Esther, only a few meters or so flowed outward, they were smoothed by the invisible force, and they returned to silence.

As Esther stood in front of the ripples, her mind was a little confused, and Zoya's memories were stable, but they were still missing, something she had struggled to think about until now.

The most important thing is that the surroundings are finally quiet, and whether Amon is hiding nearby or not, unable to see Him, Esther can relax a little.

Sure enough, it's better to stay away from that guy, the communication between the "scammers" is really tiring, and I can't believe him, and I can't refuse him, even if it's a deal with the devil......

No, don't think about this kind of thing.

Esther pulled the harmonica from her bosom, she took a deep breath, and as the music sounded, a soft light falling from her hair and spilling onto her body, almost completely erasing her form, leaving only a hazy figure.

She walked forward, stepping into the ripples, like stones falling into a lake.

Swallow in gray

After the light was gone, a shadow was forced to peel off from it, and quickly turned into a twelve-link worm.

Amun, hidden in the darkness, spread his palm, and the unconscious worm of time fell into his palm.

"You've left yourself a back door, Zoya...... Or are you the back door in the first place?"

Amun's black eyes were filled with smiles, and thoughts from the depths made another plan take shape in his mind, just to bring Zoya's essence down from the Source Castle, he had to be unaware.

It would be an interesting deception, and Amon thought he would need more attention-grabbing bait.
