Chapter 260: The Disappearing Anchorline
Living in the world, everyone has their own anchor.
It's an ideal, or a belief, or a desire, or just a simple thought. This anchor can anchor your heart, so that you will not panic and be confused when witnessing the unknown day.
And when it comes to the dream realm, this anchor is even more important.
Because any traveler who goes on an adventure in the fantasy realm needs this anchor to anchor reality, so that they will not be completely lost in fantasy and dreams.
This is something more precious than a compass in the sea.
The young wizards of the Sins Squad are anchored by First University. First University is like a huge lighthouse, still shining brightly through the fog.
The faceless demon who incarnated Zhu Zhu used the various identities she had impersonated as anchors, and although each anchor was fragile, it was mixed together like a big net to pull her out of the dream realm.
Nikita, on the other hand, uses Captain Mist as the anchor.
It wasn't her choice, it was the captain's will—the good thing was that, with the great power of the captain, Nikita wouldn't be lost in the dreamland, and the downside was that without the captain's protection, she would be like a bubble of soapy water, swept away by the hurricane of the times, and would drift into the air.
And now, the banshee was surprised but uneasy to find that her anchor line had become a little loose.
The most noticeable manifestation was that the large flower 'M' on her shoulders had become a little lighter, and the red strip of cloth tied to her wrists had also broken a little.
She didn't know why.
Maybe it was because she had thought of being disrespectful to Captain Mist at some point in time, maybe it was because after entering the Dream Realm, 'Zhou Zhou' gained a greater voice and weakened her existence, or maybe it was because the previous conflict with those young wizards took place in Usa City, and the temple suppressed the sense between herself and the captain.
Of course, it may just be because she didn't do the task assigned by the captain with her heart, and the captain is expressing his dissatisfaction.
Nikita arrives in the Dream Realm without Captain Mist's permission.
The captain simply asked her to rein in the wandering magical creatures of the Silent Forest, and then, at the right time, to direct the stupid beasts to storm First University.
—————
But the banshee found a passage in the forest to the dreamland.
She wanted more.
So there was this dream trip.
Although the great wizard has a long lifespan, he has not become a legend, and he will eventually run out of life one day. Many old white wizards can choose to enter a retreat like the Hui Ziji, which is a cycle of time from the long river of time, so that these old wizards can live for a long time.
Unlike the White Wizards, most of the older Dark Wizards have no way to enter the palindrome set. Therefore, most of them choose to hide between the unreal and the real, surviving for a long time.
The Dream Realm is home to the largest number of dying dark wizards in the world.
Nikita hoped to find some of these old wizards—the only thing she could use to tempt the old ones was the Yellow Tree that was bearing fruit in the Black Prison. The captain rallies his men and plans to attack the Black Prison, which is no secret to the crew, and the Banshee thinks that if she gathers enough men, she may have a chance to eat a small piece of meat in the Black Prison.
It's just that those old guys are too hidden in the dream realm, Nikita went all the way south from the cold plateau to the Lost Forest, passing through the rocky desert, the swamp full of poisonous gas, and even drilled through the Zon Cave, except for collecting some magical creatures unique to the dream realm, she did not find a powerful wizard that satisfied her.
"When are we going back? I think we've gathered enough monsters right now, and any more might not be able to get them out...... Are we going to catch those little wizards?"
Zhu Zhu followed behind Nikita, chattering, and at the end, she also used her killer move: "If we don't go back, the captain should be angry......
The captain it said was the captain of the Poseidon, not the Misty Captain.
But to the two banshees, there is not much difference between Captain Neptune or Captain Mist, as they are both Krakens, and they are both their captains.
The giant purple spider moved its eight slender legs and walked briskly and swiftly through the valley of the River Skye. Nikita still sat on its back, and Juju sat on the shoulders of an ancient leather giant so that she would not be left behind.
Behind the purple spider was followed by a horde of cold spiders, moon beasts, and the strongest part of the ancestors. The weak Zuge has been left far behind, and is most likely to be preyed upon by the herd of Usa cats that are following behind.
After leaving the city of Usa, Nikita asked the Zugoths to abandon their tribute and baggage and march with all their might towards the Enchanted Forest. She needs to find the little witch lost in the forest before the Sin Hunters.
Because it was a night trip, the field was silent, except for the bleak night breeze and the starry sky, only the heavy breathing of the monsters under the banshee's command and the occasional terrible howl.
Around this rapidly marching force were a large number of ghouls, scouts of the banshees, and in the sky, a large flock of hideous Shatak birds, screaming strangely all the way, like a dark cloud, hanging over everyone's hearts.
Nikita turned a deaf ear to Zhu Zhu's whispered complaints and warnings.
She knew that Zhu Zhu vaguely guessed her thoughts, but the little banshee's courage was too small, and she didn't have the courage to compete with the captains for the spoils of war at all, so she could only nag and try to change Nikita's mind.
At the end of the Skye valley is the edge of the Enchanted Forest.
Sitting on a giant purple spider, Nikita could already see the faint green glow of the forest, the essence of the mushrooms that dotted the Enchanted Forest at night.
The banshee glanced up at the sky.
The morning star is already lit.
She finally turned around and glanced at the little banshee: "For the first university, no matter how many monsters and magical creatures there are, they are just a bunch of cannon fodder. If you don't want to be cannon fodder, you have to be like me and struggle by all means...... Maybe you can struggle to survive. ”
"I've also spent most of my time at the First University for more than half a year," the little banshee who sat on the shoulders of the ancient leather giant shook her feet a little unconvinced: "I know a lot of secret passages...... It's easy to mess up the school. ”
"The school you see is just the tip of the iceberg floating on the calm sea. Nikita turned his head again to look at the Enchanted Forest that was getting closer and closer: "When you see a hill on the surface of the sea, in the depths of the bottomless sea, there is a shadow far greater than you can imagine...... I don't deny that the school's guardianship has many holes, but I don't think those holes help the captains' plans much. ”
