After finishing his meeting with Daniel, Gao Wen did not directly exit the network, but left the virtual space and returned to the consciousness level of the spiritual network.

This layer is also called the "visible area" by him - opposite to the visible area is the data link layer deep in the network that will not be noticed by ordinary visitors.

His virtual space was created by making moves at the data link layer.

"The whereabouts of huge computing resources are unknown..." Walking on the street in the central area of ​​Dream City, Gao Wen murmured to himself, "The spiritual network is a network based on activity nodes, and does not require a fixed 'server' like a 'brain'..."

He raised his head and looked at the eternal sleepers walking by in front of him. The figures were now living computing nodes in his eyes. After completing the knowledge he lacked, his understanding of this network became deeper and he also had a better understanding of these cultists who were active in the network.

The Eternal Sleeper Cult is a huge dark sect with a striking number of members and a complex and secret inheritance system. Not all Eternal Sleeper understand the secrets of their own sects. In fact, like Viscountess Kant, he was bewitched by Eternal Sleeper and went astray, but he did not understand that the "marginal believers" of Eternal Sleeper Organization are everywhere in this sect.

The eternal dream that can escape the real world is unimaginable attraction to those who are miserable and desperate in reality. Even nobles and great magicians cannot resist its temptation in specific situations. Once you accept the temptation of the eternal sleeper and contribute your soul to this huge network for the first time, the beautiful illusion brought by the spiritual network that is enough to confuse reality is enough to make even the most determined person fall deeper and deeper.

How many of these eternal sleepers walking on the street are veteran cultists, how many are unsatisfactory nobles, how many are extraordinary strong men who are in trouble? Are there any members of the Secret Dharma Assembly from the southern part of the mainland or even from other races? Even... will there be members of some other sects who have no hope of promotion?

The Eternal Sleepers have lost their faith and divine magic system, just like the druids after the fall of White Star three thousand years ago. They are actually a secular extraordinary organization based on magic technology, so they can absorb "believers" without any psychological pressure. They can deceive the nobles and mages, and even those seemingly open Orthodox believers and priests!

When he thought of this, Gao Wen couldn't help but feel that the Eternal Sleeper was probably the most terrifying one of the three major dark sects...

Just as he walked with a divergent mind, a familiar figure suddenly flashed from the corner of his eyes.

Gao Wen looked closely and saw a little girl in a beautiful white dress jumping on the fallen leaves path not far away. She jumped around on the fallen leaves and stones, and from time to time she would stagger on the curbs beside the path slightly above the ground and staggered on the "single-plank bridge". Her carefree and innocent look was really impressive.

Why did the little girl who called herself Patty Glen meet again?

Gao Wen frowned, and his first thought was to pretend that he didn't see the detour away, but before he raised his steps, the little girl had already seen him with sharp eyes.

"Ah! It's Uncle Selsi!"

The little girl screamed happily, then jumped off the curb, ran to Gao Wen with a slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight

Her words and temperament are quite literate, but her actual actions are quite clumsy.

Gao Wen seemed too deliberate to go offline directly at this time, so he could only respond with a dry smile, and then subconsciously looked around: The woman who was suspected to be Selena Gerpin did not seem to be around here.

"Are you looking for Sister Selina?" Patty noticed Gao Wen's actions and immediately spoke up loudly, "Sister Selina is not here! She is busy at home!"

Gao Wen felt relieved, and then he looked at Patty and became curious. He asked the question he had wanted to ask early in the morning: "How come you recognize me every time? There should be many people here who use the same appearance as me, right?"

This is what he was most curious about. In this original network where the real-name system has not been implemented and the username has not been realized on everyone's head, there is no way to identify others' identities at a glance. Everyone can come in by just pinching individuals. The eternal sleepers are still completely satisfied with the "primary stage of online access" that is casually swaying on the Internet, but the little girl in front of her can recognize herself every time. This is really strange.

You know, Charlie I's face is a popular skin on this Internet...

"Is it difficult to recognize?" The little girl was stunned when she heard Gao Wen's question, blinking her eyes and looking confused, "But I can recognize it. Although there are many people here who look the same, everyone's 'feeling' is different..."

"It feels different..." Gao Wen couldn't laugh or cry: What is the answer?

He felt that the little girl in front of him had many strange things, and he couldn't help but feel more alert. However, after two or three contacts, he gradually dispelled his original idea: This little girl named "Patty" should really not be a middle-aged greasy cult behind her...

Even the big guys who stand up in the ranks like Saldrin are less abnormal than this level. This "Patty" should not be much worse in the real world, even if she is not such a young child.

Maybe geniuses really exist... They can access the Eternal Sleeper Network at the age of ten.

Thinking of this, looking at the absence of Selena Gerfen's figure around, Gao Wen felt that it was okay to chat with this strange little girl, so he took the little girl slowly on the avenue, while speaking casually: "You seem to come here often?"

Patty looked curious: "Does Uncle come to this garden? Or come to this dream?"

Does this little girl simply regard this virtual space as a "dream"? Where does such a dream come from in the world...

Gao Wen muttered in his heart, but there was no strange expression on his face: "I mean this 'dream'."

"I come here often, especially at night, I will definitely come here," Patty stuck out her tongue. "Because I can't sleep well if I don't get into this dream..."

"Can't sleep well?" Gao Wen frowned, "Why?"

Patty seemed to be a ignorant child. She almost answered whatever Gowan asked: "Because her body hurts and itchy..."

While saying this, the little girl's face showed a hint of resistance and a look of fear. Gao Wen originally wanted to continue asking questions, but when he reached his mouth, he swallowed it back and changed the next topic quite stiffly: "Speaking of all, I haven't seen your parents here - aren't they 'compatriots' of the church?"

The church "compatriots" are a colloquial statement when believers call themselves people privately. Gao Wen believes that even if Patty is really simple, she will definitely often hear similar words when she is active in this network.

The little girl shook her head: "Dad passed away a long time ago...Mom is very busy, and she doesn't like it here."

My father passed away, and my mother seemed to be a person who was resistant to the eternal sleeper? So how did this little girl connect to the Internet?

Didn’t she be brought into the culmination because of her parents?

Gao Wen was thinking of various speculations. While silently outlining the possible situation of the little girl in the real world, he asked, "That's right... Then what is your mother doing? Why doesn't she like this?"

"Mom said she doesn't like to be immersed in dreams, but I don't understand what it means," Patty said, and jumped onto the curb next to her and walked forward staggeringly. "Mom is a very powerful person! Everyone in the castle listens to her!"

Gao Wen couldn't help but pause: "Castle? Do you live in a castle?"

"Yes! A big and big castle!" Patty said happily, "and my room has big and big windows!"

A castle with large windows? This kind of construction method is not common in this era...

Gao Wen quickly guessed the identity of this little girl in the real world: she should be a noble, but judging from her words and demeanor, she should not be a very high-level noble descendant. She lives in a castle with large windows, but in this era, Ansu's noble castles took into account the energy supply of military fortresses, basically only narrow windows and very high skylights, so she may not be an Ansu... But this is not necessarily the case, because the more comfortable new castles and manor buildings have begun to become popular in the Holy Spirit Plain area, and some nobles in the southern region are imitating this kind of building...

Thinking of this in his heart, Gao Wen took the opportunity to say, "Sounds great. By the way, are there high mountains near your castle? Or are there rivers and forests?"

He wanted to find out the scene characteristics near the castle where Patty lives to determine which country the little girl was from - although it is very likely that she could not judge anything, he still wanted to give it a try.

However, the little girl shook her head after hearing these questions: "I don't remember very much... I didn't let me leave the castle since I was very young, saying that it was very dangerous outside. But uncle, I'll tell you, this morning, I secretly asked the maid to take me to the terrace! I can see a large area of ​​snow under the castle! Don't tell others, my mother rarely even let me go up to the terrace... But my mother went out a few days ago."

While his thoughts were scattering, Gao Wen casually said: "Oh, your mother is out."

"Well, my mother said she was going to visit Count Hosman's house. She has been out for several days..."

"Oh, Earl of Hosman... Earl of Hosman?!"

Gao Wen repeated the sentence unconsciously, but he realized as soon as he finished repeating it, and his eyes suddenly became wide open.

He has heard of this name!

Just a while ago, in Amber's report!

"Yes, Earl of Hosman," Patty seemed to be slightly startled by Gao Wen's reaction, "Uncle... do you know Lord Earl?"

"...No, I just didn't expect that the person your mother was going to meet was such a big big man, and was frightened by the word "Earl". "Gao Wen made up a reason casually. Anyway, the child wouldn't think too much, but his thoughts surged in his heart.

Will there be other Earls of Hosman in this world? Gao Wen cannot guarantee that there may be. After all, the four human countries are separated from four directions on the mainland. Each country has its own independent but huge aristocratic system. There are countless land nobles of all sizes. It is hard to say whether there will be a few nobles with the same title in the north and south of the mainland. But rather than believing in this unreasonable possibility, he believes that the "Earl of Hosman" mentioned by Patty is the one he knows!

The land nobleman in Ansu southern territory, Karov Hosman.

So Patty is actually the descendant of a nobleman in the southern border?
