Belltila Augustus walked into the hall.

But it wasn't what Bud remembered.

In Bard's memory, the female minister always wore a skirt with all religious symbols wiped away. Her face was cold and distant. She seemed to be in a layer of darkness forever. Her lower body was always mixed roots and vines. The unsettling rustling was her signature footsteps.

But the "Beltira" who came in was completely different. She was wearing a green and white druid dress, and the Holy Spirit Druid's emblem on her chest. Her face looked younger and without any coldness and darkness. She walked into the hall slowly. The hem of the skirt was exposed under her boots, with normal legs.

The same appearance, but the difference is very obvious.

Only Gao Wen, who inherited the memory of the original owner of the body, couldn't help but feel familiar after seeing this "Beltira".

Belltila also noticed the uninvited guest in the hall. As a dreamer, she actually noticed Gaowen and Bard, who were theoretically separated from the dream structure.

She raised her head, with a kind of confused look on her face. She glanced at Bud first, as if she was looking at a stranger she didn't know, and then her eyes fell on Gao Wen. After watching it carefully for a long time, she spoke curiously and hesitantly: "Gao Wen...brother?"

Gao Wen frowned.

Seven hundred years ago, Belltila, who had not yet become a dark druid and was still the favorite "His Princess" of the Eastern Expeditionary Force, called this the name Govin Cecil at that time.

They were not brothers and sisters, but they had a good relationship. Even though Gao Wen was ordered to stay in the southern border and could not move around at will, the two had a lot of letters. In fact, in the memory inherited by Gao Wen, "he" learned that Belltila had gone to the peak of his ancestors, and he received a letter from the other party, which was the last letter sent by Belltila.

Then, all things will eventually die and be born.

Is this seemingly harmless Belltila in front of her looks like she was after she fell into a dream? Or... it was a scam?

Noting that Gao Wen did not respond, Belltila spoke hesitantly again, and this time there was even a little nervous and worried in her tone: "Brother Gao Wen? What is this place? And... why do you look a lot older suddenly?"

When Belltila fell into darkness seven hundred years ago, Govin Cecil was still less than thirty years old. In the years that followed, Belltila never appeared again. It is obvious that the "Beltila" in the dream still maintains early memories. Govin Cecil in her mind should still be the young and heroic brother.

Belltila stood in the hall with a daze, and was obviously a little alert and confused when she looked at the men in black robes around her. She looked at Gao Wen again, showing helplessness and harmlessness, which made people unable to help but let go of their guards, especially if an acquaintance stood here, she would probably be affected by emotions.

But unfortunately, Gowan is not Gowan Cecil.

He has already sensed that the key to this dream should be "Beltira".

What's more, dreams are just dreams. The harmless little princess Tifeng... has already gone with the wind.

Gao Wen raised his hand, and a huge data impact was released. Infinite fragments of light and shadow suddenly appeared in the entire dream. The vast sea of ​​information destroyed this originally unstable false world in the blink of an eye. The ministers who were holding meetings turned into phantoms one by one, and the entire hall collapsed quickly in a swaying.

Bard felt his mind dizzy, and the dividing line between reality and dreams was unprecedentedly clear. He felt that he was waking up quickly. Before he completely escaped from this dream, he heard Gao Wen's calm command: "After waking up, stand by immediately, do nothing but stay awake, wait for us to come down to take over."

The meeting room began to collapse, and the soil and rock fragments turned into illusory shimmer particles and lines dissipated in nothingness. Belltila, who was standing in the middle of the hall, looked at all this in a daze. Suddenly, her eyes became clear and her expression became vivid in an instant.

She seemed to have woken up in a dream, and she seemed to have only been awake halfway. With a half-dream and half-awake expression, she looked at Gao Wen, whose figure was about to disappear completely, and opened her mouth slightly.

On the surface, Gao Wen slowly opened his eyes, and various perceptions of the real world quickly returned to his body, and the connections from the spiritual level gradually calmed down. He saw Amber's big-faced plate again in front of him, so he reached out and pushed it away. The latter was not concerned, waving his arms to maintain balance while retreating, while bbwing his arms loudly: "Are you awake?"

Gao Wen nodded, gently shook his head to dispel the last bit of discomfort, and the last bit of remnant from the dream also appeared blurred and quickly dissipated in his movements: "...Brother, I'm in trouble..."

He frowned strangely, but the next second he returned to his normal expression, but Amber, who had just been pushed away, came over: "Hey, what's wrong with you? His expression just now was so serious..."

Gao Wen had to push away the shame of all things again.

Why is this guy who usually has no idea what to do, but he is so keen with six senses when it is not necessary...

"It's nothing, a little dizzy, it's already cured," he said casually, ignoring the "special medicine for treating dizziness and headaches in middle-aged and elderly people" recommended by Pittman to himself, and began to instruct the next action. "The action team comes here, and Bard's exploration mission below has reached the expected goal, and we will go down to respond."

"You want to go down in person?" Margarita, the female knight next to her, was surprised. She looked at Gao Wen and came to the entrance of the giant tree root system. She never expected that this "His Majesty the Emperor" would actually go down in person. She immediately felt that it was inappropriate. "This is probably very dangerous below, you..."

"I have gone down once, and the danger coefficient of mental roaming is no lower than that of personal exploration," Gao Wen smiled and waved his hand to interrupt the female knight. "I have destroyed the dream 'trap' below, which is a special method. If the trap was cast by artificially, the caster must have been dead. If it was cast by some kind of magic device, the device will definitely be completely scrapped and there will be no danger anymore. As for whether there is a physical threat outside the dream trap... Haven't everyone seen the images sent by Bud all the way back?"

Margarita seemed to want to say something else, but Gao Wen interrupted her again: "To put it, your personality is really similar to Philip, and they are both quite serious."

Margarita immediately raised her chest and said loudly with a serious face: "Seriousness and caution are essential qualities for the knight..."

"Yes, that's what I'm talking about."

Margarita: “…”

The female knight failed to keep up with Gao Wen's topic again. After a moment of dazed, His Majesty the Emperor had already passed her and walked towards the entrance not far away.

Amber approached Margarita, who had just recovered from a daze, and opened her mouth and said, "Hey, to be honest, I always thought that you and that Philip were particularly suitable for something to happen... Do you want me to help? I know a lot of people!"

Margarita suddenly looked stern, and she was about to be righteous and righteous. This speech that was not concerned about the Knight's Code, but Amber had already jumped and jumped to follow Gao Wen's footsteps and ran into the entrance not far away. While running, she heard her screaming: "Hey! Wait for me! You must bring a shadow master in such a dark place. I am God's choice, do you know? I have been chosen by God for decades..."

...

Bud opened his eyes and finally saw the real scene around him.

He didn't enter the chamber at all. He walked into a magic secret room that he had never seen before.

This is a mysterious room full of runes. The ceiling, walls and the ground are densely engraved with complex magic symbols. In addition, there are only two black stone pillars standing up on the ground, also engraved with magic runes, and there are no other furnishings.

At this moment, all runes have been extinguished.

Bud didn't know when this room appeared. He only knew that there was no such thing here when he left the base camp. It might be that his authority was insufficient, so he didn't know the existence of this secret room.

He guessed that it was because of the collapse of the underground that some rooms and corridors were misaligned, and the crisscrossing roots affected his spatial judgment ability, which led to him accidentally going to the wrong place and entering this secret room, and being affected by the magical device here.

But no matter what, it seems that with the end of the dream, the device here has stopped operating.

He kept in mind Gao Wen's order. Although the runes everywhere here made him a little uneasy, considering that he was approaching the depths and the hidden dangers brought by walking around would be much greater than those extinguished runes, he still stayed honestly, found a position in the room with a wide view and a corner of the wall, and quietly waited for the arrival of the reception staff.

He waited for a long time.

The passage of time will make ordinary people accumulate pressure, and the dark and weird environment is even more unsettling, but Bard, who has experienced even more terrible challenges and tempers, has long been as heart-warming as steel. Compared to the indescribable situations he once witnessed, the darkness here can almost be described as gentle as gentleness to stand quietly in the corner, keeping his spirit and body in the best state, counting the number of beatings of his artificial heart to estimate the time, until some shaking lights appear outside the room.

Gao Wen followed the road marks left by Bud along the way to the depths of this nest.

The scale of this underground palace is surprising, and its architectural style that does not conform to any human kingdom made him a little confused and guessed. Although the palace was seriously damaged during the collapse and the cultists who died in the end of the world destroyed or changed most of the original style here in hundreds of years of reconstruction and addition, he could still judge from the solid wall materials and the ancient runes buried in the floor and roof that this palace was not built by the Ansu people.

It wasn't even built by the Gondors.

But now is not the time to explore the detailed origin of the palace. He has seen Bud Wendell on standby in the room, as well as the dense magic runes and two magical devices that look like stone pillars in the room.

As a person who has devoured the knowledge and memory of the Eternal Sleeper, and can move around the Eternal Sleeper's spiritual network, and even personally participated in the construction of the Eternal Sleeper's unsafe system, the Internet laboratory, and the mind network vulnerability cluster, he is really familiar with these things.

"It's the technology of the Eternal Sleeper," Gao Wen stepped forward to check the two extinguished rune stone pillars, "...it should be an auxiliary device that projects the user's spirit outward. Don't worry, it has been completely scrapped, all core runes are melted down and cannot be repaired."

It was not until this time that Bud finally breathed a sigh of relief and then subconsciously asked: "Do you... understand the techniques of the eternal sleeper?"

Gao Wen smiled: "I understand a little, I understand a little."

Bud was stunned for a moment, quickly adjusted his expression, and cautiously reduced his presence.

He was exposed to the "Little Secret of His Majesty the Emperor".

But Gao Wen didn't care about these things, because as Daniel completely mastered the security architecture of the Eternal Sleeper's mind network, and with the various hidden tricks he set up in the Spiritual Sleeper, the backdoor and springboard gradually developed to scale, forming a huge and complex "shadow network". He was no longer as worried that Eternal Sleeper would notice this invasion as he was before. Computer terminal::/

He has a lot of ways to reconnect to the network, a lot of ways to disguise himself and Daniel, and even a lot of ways to create illusions, create illusions of network security, create illusions of invasion being excluded, and create illusions of never-invasion...

He has even set "Gaven Cecil", "outerland wanderer", "Ansu Trail Blazer" and so on to hidden keywords. As long as someone mentions these keywords in the entire spiritual network, he can immediately know and determine whether he has been exposed before the information is transmitted, so as to take further action.

Of course, if possible, Gao Wen still hopes that the Eternal Sleeper will never notice his invasion, but based on this "little secret" that Bud contacted, he cannot infer the connection between Gao Wen and the Eternal Sleeper's spiritual network, not to mention... Even if Bud goes out alive today, he will definitely be closely monitored for a long time.

Under the current situation where the eternal migrant believers in the southern border have been basically completely cleared, the secret hidden in their hearts is always a secret.

Gao Wen turned his head and looked at the exit of the room.

"Now, let's keep searching."

This device of the Eternal Sleeper can amplify and project a person's dream, but the device itself will not dream.

In this dark and deep place, there are... people who can dream.

Judging from the scenes that Bard saw in his dreams, these dreamers may not be in good condition, and most of them have lost the ability to control their own mind and body.
