"What else is on your mind besides the thrill of fighting?"
“And you too,” Nora said bluntly.
Her main purpose today was to accompany Elise shopping; the items to improve her strength were just secondary.
Elise certainly didn't feel her heart race because of Nora's words; she could even guess why Nora said those words.
“Sometimes what you say can easily be misunderstood. What if I take it seriously?” Elise looked at Nora meaningfully.
"According to what I just said, there's nothing wrong with it..." Before Nossa could finish speaking, she suddenly felt sleepy.
However, since they were on a busy street, and Elise was watching from the side, Nora simply rubbed her eyes and continued, "Why are you a little sleepy?"
"Who told you to go out and ask locals all that nonsense so late at night? You could have just come and asked me."
"After all, I'm accompanying you shopping. If I were to ask you questions, it just wouldn't feel right," Nora said, scratching her head.
"Since you've put in so much effort, I'll let you off this time."
"Let's go, I'll take you to find the Dream Walker first."
Volume 1: Chapter 164 The Isolated Dream
Antia’s underground area is large and very complex, especially after entering some of the hidden alleys.
Even though Nora was following Elise, she still felt a little dizzy from all the twists and turns.
She couldn't help but say, "You really have been here before, haven't you?"
"I already said no, but you know my intelligence network, are you worried I'll sell you out?"
"I'm not too worried about that."
If Elise wanted to sell herself, she could have easily helped the Sword Dancer Elaine or even the Third Princess when she was in Star City, but she chose to help herself instead.
Just then, Elise stopped in front of an inconspicuous house and said, "We've arrived."
"right here?"
"Otherwise what?" Elise said, knocking on the door. After a while, a drowsy voice came from inside: "Who are you looking for?"
"I need you to solve a problem related to my dream."
As Elise finished speaking, the door to the house was slowly pushed open. A woman in her thirties looked at Elise and Nora with lifeless eyes and said indifferently, "Come in."
Dreamwalkers are not classified as cultists, so it wouldn't matter if they opened their shops in conspicuous locations. However, Dreamwalkers have one common problem: they love to sleep. So even if they want to make money, they will choose to open their shops in some hidden places.
It's all for the sake of having fewer people disturb my sleep, which is quite a contradiction.
"Although I don't know who introduced you here, since you've found your way here, you should know the rules here, right?"
"Okay, I'll give you 100 gold coins first, and I'll pay you an extra 100 gold coins afterward, regardless of whether it's successful or not."
Each Dreamwalker has a different price. The reason Elise is so familiar with her is simply because she used to do many quests with her when playing the game.
Entering a dream in the game allows you to control a character to fight enemies you've encountered before, gaining experience, or to infiltrate someone's dream to find clues in order to complete a mission.
As for entering dreams in reality, there are even more things that can be done. For example, Nora needs to enter the dream to find certain details.
Elise nudged Nora, urging her to hurry up and pay.
Nora also took out one hundred gold coins from her spatial ring and placed them on the table.
Looking at the gleaming gold coins, a rare look of greed appeared on the face of this dream traveler.
After counting the gold coins and making sure there was no shortage, she asked the two men, "Who wants to solve this problem?"
Elise pointed at Nora and then briefly explained Nora's situation to her.
After listening to Elise's story, the Dream Walker yawned and said, "So, she had a very vivid dream, and even doubted that it was a dream, so she wanted to find me out?"
"That's right. Just a friendly reminder, it's best not to explore places you shouldn't, or you'll die."
Hearing Elise's words, the Dream Walker also smirked: "Don't worry, as long as I take the money, I will only do what the client wishes, and I will swear to the Dream Beast that I will forget everything in the dream after leaving the dream."
After saying that, she silently looked at Nora and said, "Don't resist now, I will take you into a dream."
Nora wouldn't dare let anyone into her dream if she were alone, but with Elise by her side, she didn't hesitate and gave up resisting as the Dream Walker had advised.
Suddenly, she felt her eyelids become heavy, as if she hadn't slept for several days. In the blink of an eye, she slumped onto the table and fell asleep.
The Dream Walker, who was sitting opposite Nora, also fell asleep.
Iris didn't know how much time the two of them would need, so she simply took out a book from her spatial ring and quietly began to read.
……
"Is this a dream?"
Nora stood in a fog, her eyes looking somewhat lost.
Just then, the Dream Walker's voice suddenly rang out: "That's right, this is an unformed dream."
She turned her head and saw that the gull-like figure in front of her, with its heavy dark circles, had suddenly become energetic, and the dark circles under its eyes had disappeared.
鹨零児栮彡似八把肆峮
Noticing Nora's questioning gaze, the Dreamwalker said calmly, "For us, dreams are the true and free world. You don't need to worry about these things. You just need to recall the dream you want to understand, and I will..."
Before the Dream Walker could finish speaking, she found herself in the room of a noble lady.
The luxurious furniture and girlish decorations all felt so real.
This change also surprised the Dream Walker, because most people quickly forget the contents of their dreams after waking up. As the Dream Walker, she could guide them to recall the dreams they wanted to explore.
But before she could even begin to guide the other person, the dream content had already been revealed.
Moreover, everything in the dream seemed so real that, in her eyes, it didn't feel like a dream, but more like a memory.
As the scene was recreated, a look of excitement flashed in Nora's eyes.
She looked at Elise, then at herself appearing at the window, and the battle between the two quickly began.
This battle was no different from the one she had dreamed of before, or rather, it was a replay of that dream.
The battle was intense, and the Dream Walker watching from the sidelines was somewhat dumbfounded. After all, she was not good at fighting, and she really did not expect that a second-tier noble lady and a third-tier bodyguard could defeat a fifth-tier being.
The fifth-tier being then drew out the power hidden within her body, a power so terrifying that it made her tremble with fear.
Dreamers are now wondering if they will be canceled after leaving the dream world.
The agent's aura erupted, and the Third Princess, an agent of Seria, rushed over. Just when Nora was about to have nowhere to run, Elizabeth took her and used a random teleportation scroll to escape.
"My dream ended here, and I want to know if there's a sequel."
Dreams, once you wake up, there's no follow-up. Although the Dream Walker wanted to tell her this, she sensed that something was amiss.
This dream should have a sequel, but it seems to be blocked by some force.
She remained silent for a moment, then slowly closed her eyes and began to use her Dream Walker abilities to search for that lost dream.
The room, now in ruins, began to collapse, and the surroundings were once again enveloped in thick fog. Just as the dream traveler found the lost dream, a pair of pale golden eyes suddenly emerged from the mist.
Like a divine glance, with just one look, the dream traveler lost consciousness.
Volume 1: Chapter 165 The Exhibition Hall in a Dream
"Where did this come from for me?"
Nora looked around and found herself in a huge exhibition hall.
However, the exhibits here are very strange. There are healing potions, monster heads, human skin books, and she even saw her own god-slaying weapon.
She slowly walked to the front of the weapon that killed the gods and reached out to touch it.
But no matter what she did, she could not touch the god-slaying weapon.
Undeterred, Nora tried other things.
A book made of human skin, no way.
A terrifying monster head? No way.
Leave the ball/侕侕Shaanxi Bashi Lingmeng [
A gorgeous evening gown? No way.
A beautiful woman's head with red hair? No way.
……
Until she reached the display case containing the healing potions, this time her touch was unimpeded. The moment she touched the potions, Nora appeared in a misty forest.
She saw Elise and 'herself' lying on an open ground.
This was the first time Nora had ever seen Elise in such a disheveled state. Her entire body was covered in wounds, and her pretty face was deathly pale, like a blank sheet of paper.
She suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
She didn't care about the wounds on 'herself', after all, she had suffered more serious injuries than these, but with her physical constitution, she would fully recover in no time.
Just then, Nora overheard their conversation.
"Why did you save me?"
“I already told you, I came here to discuss cooperation with you. If you hadn’t acted without saying a word, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.” Elise poured some healing potion on the wound and tossed a bottle to Nora.
Then she heard Elise repeat the same reasons she had used to convince herself to 'herself'.
Seeing her own half-believing, half-doubting expression, Nora nodded in satisfaction. As expected of herself, she remained vigilant at all times.
However, she knew very well that as an agent, 'herself' could not refuse to cooperate with Elise, since only Elise knew about the existence of many agents.
After some back and forth, Nora watched as the two gradually established a cooperative relationship. However, she did not use the healing potion that Elise had given her, probably because she was worried that Elise might tamper with it.
Nora had a vague feeling that the bottle of medicine was the one in the display case.
侕ON捌武铃玖刘“韭裠
She watched as the two began to work together, preparing to leave the misty forest together.
Nora stayed close to the two of them, listening to 'herself' and Elise bickering, and a faint smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
After an unknown amount of time, just as the two were about to leave the forest, Nora felt a daze and found herself back in the exhibition hall.
She looked down at the medicine in her hand. It was clear that the bottle was quite old; the liquid inside was cloudy and the bottle was cracked.
She carefully placed the healing potion back in the display case, and then continued searching for anything she could reach.
But just then, she vaguely heard someone calling her name. She slowly opened her eyes, looked around in confusion, and found that she had somehow returned to the Dreamwalker's shop, where Elise was looking at her with a worried expression.
"You finally woke up."
Nora scratched her head and said, "What's wrong with me?"
“The Dreamwalker woke up first and forgot what happened in the dream, and you couldn’t be woken up no matter how much I called you. I thought something had happened to you.” Elise carefully observed Nora and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was alright.
Sensing Elise's concern, Nora instinctively wanted to say something, but Elise stopped her.
She immediately realized that they were still in the Dream Walker's shop, and this was not the place to talk.
The Dream Walker was also somewhat bewildered. Although she had sworn to the Dream Beast that she would forget everything in the dream once she left, she felt that this forgetting was not a natural forgetting, but rather as if someone had forcibly erased that memory from her mind.
This has caused her to feel a sense of emptiness in her mind.
"I don't know if your problem is solved or not, but even if it isn't, there's nothing I can do. Just pay up and get out of here." Intuition told the Dream Walker that she couldn't investigate any further.
Nora didn't linger. She took out another hundred gold coins and handed them to the other party before leaving the secluded little shop with Elise.
"You seem to have a lot to say to me. Let me take you somewhere we can chat."
Elise then led Nora into the alley, and after navigating a maze of roads, Elise brought Nora back to the surface.
She then rented a small boat and drifted on the lake with Nora.
After opening the silence barrier, Elise adjusted her posture, took out a watermelon-like fruit from her spatial ring, shared half with Nora, and then said, "Alright, now you can tell me what you saw in your dream."
Nora thought about it carefully for a moment, and then began to tell Elise about it. When she talked about which exhibits in the exhibition hall, Elise, who was just watching the show, showed a slightly unnatural expression.
She discovered that the exhibits Nora mentioned were actually a collection of memories between herself and Nora.
"How could anyone keep a healing potion for so long?" Elise muttered to herself, but a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Although she didn't know what changes Nora underwent after her death, judging from Nora's description of the exhibition hall, she probably missed her quite a bit. It's just unknown whether she regretted it to the point of lifelong regret.
Search "What are you muttering about?"
"It's nothing, please continue."
