Chapter 3716 Bonette
As she answered, a familiar NPC panel appeared in front of Angel.
Bonette
"Bonette is one of the seven knights of the Dark Round Table: the Knight of the Fallen Dream. Bonette just turned twelve this year. Three years ago, she was noticed by the Dark Round Table because she accidentally turned the 33rd Town into the "Town of Sleep". She is also the youngest of the seven knights, but she has the most feared ability among all the knights. Her characteristics are laziness and sweet dreams. Anyone who is around her or has ill intentions towards her may be affected by her characteristics and fall into a lazy sleep unknowingly."
"Contacting Bonette or other characters in the same series may trigger the side quest "The Seven Knights of Darkness"."
The qualities of laziness and sweet dreams? Can it make people fall asleep without realizing it? A hint of doubt flashed across Angel's eyes.
What is a “trait”?
Moreover, once you are around her or have ill will towards her, you may be affected by her characteristics.
This sounds a bit like indiscriminate passive control ability.
So, traits are these passive abilities that have something special?
While Ingres was thinking, he saw Sisley beside him suddenly stretch, walk to the wall, sit down in the corner, looking lazy.
He even yawned.
Angel: "???"
Sisley had been full of energy before, but he suddenly became lazy. Could it be that he was affected by Bonette's characteristics?
Angel subconsciously used his mental power to sense and actually discovered a hidden energy around Sisley.
The nature of this energy is almost the same as fashion magic, but it is more hidden.
So, traits are actually a kind of fashion ability?
Angel wasn't quite sure, but he walked to Sisley, his hand wrapped in the power of nightmare, and gently scooped at the alien energy.
The energy that influenced Sisley was easily grasped by Ingres.
Angel sensed it and found that the nature of this energy seemed to have a soft and sticky feeling. Once it touched him, both his body and mind would slowly become soft and light, just like a feather, gently blown up and then quietly falling down.
Under the influence of this soft cloud-like feeling, thoughts will slowly become lazy and scattered, and finally... slowly fall asleep.
This kind of influence is not achieved overnight, but a slow process. However, it is more covert and difficult to detect than direct hypnosis.
Even if someone falls asleep under its influence, they will only think that they are sleepy instead of being controlled by someone.
This is a subtle change.
That's the thing about Bonette.
While Angel was sensing, Sisley also regained some energy due to the disappearance of the alien energy. However, he did not sit up from the ground immediately, but changed his posture and continued to sit on the ground.
Sisley no longer wanted to sleep, but his lazy inertia still affected him.
This is a subtle change.
Seeing this scene, Angel's eyes flickered: "Harman said before that the Knight of the Fallen Dream rarely appears in front of people. Every time he is in charge of the Wandering House, he stays alone in his room."
"Perhaps, it's not that Bonette wants to be alone, but once she appears in a crowd, she may affect the people around her. Make the diligent become lazy, and make the lazy people fall into a deep sleep."
As mentioned in the NPC information, she even accidentally turned the entire Thirty-Three Towns into a sleeping town.
That's her thing.
"Without any help, Bonette could only exile herself."
This subtle influence is very scary. Even if the ability is removed, people's laziness cannot be eliminated immediately, because laziness is human nature, and people are naturally inclined to relax.
but……
Ingres himself was not affected by this trait.
The reason is not difficult to guess. No matter how powerful the trait is, its upper limit is locked by the Dream Crystal. And the power of nightmare that Angel possesses belongs to the original energy of the Dream Crystal. The trait cannot infect the power of nightmare.
Of course, this is only the case in Dream Crystal Origin.
It is hard to say whether Ingres would be affected by Bonette's characteristics if he met her in real life.
……
Then again, Bonette possesses this lazy trait, so do the other seven knights also possess similar trait powers?
Angel looked at Bonnet.
"Trait? What are traits?" Bonette's voice was very soft, like a breeze blowing past your ears.
Angell: "Like you can make people lazy, that's the trait."
Bonette pondered for a moment and shook her head: "I don't know, no one told me... Is this called a trait?"
Well, no need to ask.
Things like traits are most likely hints from the fairyland.
If even Bonette herself doesn't know her own characteristics, then there is probably no need to ask whether the other seven knights have any characteristics, because she definitely doesn't know.
Angel didn't think deeply about whether the Seven Knights had any special characteristics. It wouldn't be too late to find out when he met them later...
Now let’s get back to the topic.
"Are you a dream decorator?" Angel looked at Bonnet.
Bonette hesitated for a moment: "What is a dream decorator?"
Angel: "..."
Angel was silent for a moment: "Why are you called the Knight of the Fallen Dream? Is your ability related to dreams?"
Soon, Bonette gave her answer.
The title of the Knight of the Fallen Dream was given by the master of the Dark Round Table, and she actually didn't quite understand the reason.
Compared to the title of Fallen Dream Knight, she actually prefers the title of Beautiful Dream Knight, but the master of the Dark Round Table did not accept this title. He just said: "The honorific title of the Seven Knights was set when the Dark Round Table was first established. It can only be inherited and cannot be changed."
So, she had no choice but to accept the title of "Fallen Dream Knight".
As for her abilities... Bonette says she has seven complete puzzle pieces.
However, four of the puzzles are basic puzzles, such as the Plagiarist Monster, the Gossip Spirit... These are puzzles that almost all senior fashion magicians have, but their abilities are different.
Let’s not talk about the basic puzzles for now.
The remaining three puzzles are advanced and advanced puzzles.
They are "Dreamweaver Doll", "Soft Yarn Fairy" and "Halo Messenger" respectively.
"Dreamweaver Doll" is the puzzle piece that Bonette obtained before she joined the Dark Round Table, while "Soft Veil Fairy" and "Halo Messenger" were obtained after she joined.
Among them, "Halo Messenger" is the puzzle piece inherited from the previous Knight of the Fallen Dream.
And the "Fairy of Soft Shade" was obtained by herself.
The abilities of the Dreamweaver Doll and the Soft Yarn Fairy are respectively related to weaving sweet dreams, making various soft fabrics, and making pajamas and dolls.
It is worth mentioning that these two puzzles are from the "Soft Series" of fashion monsters, so they share the same energy slot: Soft Point.
The "Halo Messenger" is rather peculiar, and has no abilities at all.
But the master of the Dark Round Table once said that only those who obtain the "Halo Messenger" can be called the Seven Knights.
In other words, although the Halo Messenger does not directly grant abilities, its existence means a symbol of identity.
After listening to Bonette's story, Angel frowned slightly, because from her story alone, Angel did not find any abilities related to the characteristics.
He even learned in detail about the abilities recorded in Bonette's magic book. There were indeed some very special abilities, but they had almost nothing to do with the characteristics.
It won't make you lazy, nor will it make you sleepy.
This gave Ingres a guess: perhaps traits are more like talents rather than acquired.
Ingres was not quite sure, so he could only keep it in mind for the time being and explore it later.
However, after learning that Bonette's ability is actually not closely related to "dreams" themselves, Angel was still a little disappointed. Bonette often falls asleep because she can't find anything to do in reality, so she simply weaves beautiful dreams in her dreams to increase her softness point limit.
"From this perspective, Bonette, who can weave beautiful dreams, can barely be considered a dream embellisher." Ingres murmured in a low voice.
Of course, this is just Ingres's opinion.
Whether or not he is a dream decorator depends on how the Dream City defines a dream decorator.
But whether Bonette is a dream embellisher or not is not really important. What is important is, as a high-ranking member of the Dark Round Table, does she know the background of this world?
Next, Ingres began to ask Bonette about the world background.
But unfortunately, Bonette didn't pay attention to this and didn't understand it very well.
Although her status was not low, she had been a member of the Dark Round Table for only three years. Moreover, during these years, she had spent 80% of her time in sleep.
Bonette was not interested in what happened in the modern city, let alone the outside world.
Angel had originally thought that he could get some clues from Bonette, but now it seems that this is not going to work. As expected, young people are unreliable.
It seems that I still need to find someone who looks knowledgeable.
While sighing, Angel suddenly thought of something: "By the way, the owner of the Dark Round Table you just mentioned, is he the chief of the Seven Knights? Who are the Seven Knights?"
Since Bonette knew nothing about the background of the world, Angel planned to ask the other seven knights when he had time later.
However, Angel didn't know much about the Seven Knights. Although Haman told him some, he only mentioned five of them, and he was not very clear about the other two.
Bonette did not hide anything and told everyone the information she knew.
In addition to the Flame Knight, Slaanesh Knight, Dream Knight, Noble Knight and Red-Eyed Knight that Angel already knew, the remaining two knights are the Wind Knight and the Treasure Knight.
The Wind Knight and the Treasure Knight were not at the Round Table for many years, and even Bonette had only met them once when she became the Dream Knight.
As for where they went, Bonette didn't know either. She only knew that the Wind Knight was in other cities, while the Treasure Knight mostly stayed in the suburbs.
"Although the strengths of the seven knights vary, such as the Noble Knight and the Fiery Knight are very strong, while I am very weak... but there is no ranking among the knights."
“There is no distinction between first and second place.”
"As for the master of the Dark Round Table I just mentioned, it's not the Seven Knights."
Hearing this, Angel was stunned: "Is there another owner of the Dark Round Table?"
He always thought that the seven knights controlled the Dark Round Table, but Bonnet told him that the Dark Round Table also had a master?
Bonnie nodded.
Bonette seemed reluctant to talk more about the owner of the Dark Round Table, and her expression was somewhat conflicted.
"I have the mark of the Dark Round Table on me. I cannot point my words at him. Once I point my words at him, the mark will automatically stop me and I won't be able to say anything."
Bonette said this and gently pulled down the collar of her pajamas.
There was a dark cross mark on her Adam's apple.
After joining the Dark Round Table, each of the Seven Knights will go to a special dark space. After coming out of there, a dark cross mark will appear at a random position on the body.
According to the Noble Knight, this mark contains the original power of the Dark Round Table.
It is not only a symbol of identity, but it can also passively pull the seven knights into the dark space when they are in danger of death.
It's a life-saving ability.
However, while they gained convenience, they were also restricted by language.
The real master of the Dark Round Table cannot be mentioned casually. Once the words are directed at the other party, the mark will release a power similar to that of a word spirit to prevent them from speaking.
Therefore, Bonette couldn’t talk much about the master of the Dark Round Table, who was also the taboo of the Seven Knights.
Because of this taboo, this is probably the reason why the outside world has never reported that there is another master behind the Dark Round Table.
After hearing Bonette's story, Angel's eyes flashed with interest.
He was quite curious about the so-called master behind the scenes.
He walked closer to Bonnet and used his mental power to probe the mark on Bonnet's Adam's apple.
As soon as he explored with his mental power, Angel felt that there seemed to be a hidden power in the mark, but it was now in an inert state.
But Angel had a feeling that once his mental power went one step further, the force of inertia would turn into active force.
What will happen if this power is activated? Angel is still unclear, but the most likely thing is that he will be taken into that dark space as Bonette said.
Although Angel was somewhat interested in the so-called "dark space", he did not plan to explore it now.
He still needs to keep a certain distance from this copy of Modern City in the early and middle stages... Once he becomes too entangled and the cause and effect become entangled, he will not be able to enter and exit the copy freely.
At that time, it will be like Luigi in the Uriel copy, if he fails, he will die and be trapped in the copy.
Therefore, Angel just sensed it from a distance and did not activate the mark.
However, through perception, Angel still obtained some information: the hidden inert energy in the mark, although extremely complicated, still belongs to the category of fashion magic.
This is probably an ability possessed by a top fashion monster.
Since it falls into the realm of fashion magic, it is easy to avoid it.
Angel extended his index finger and lightly touched Bonette's Adam's apple. The surging nightmare nodes quickly spread out, like a web, surrounding the mark tightly.
After doing all this, Angel looked at Bonnet.
"You try it now."
Bonette hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke: "The master behind the Dark Round Table, he is called... the Dark Lord."
After saying this, Bonette paused for a moment, confirmed that the mark had no reaction, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Ingres had anticipated this.
Using nightmare to isolate the mark from Bonette, this is Angel's method.
It turns out that the effect is not bad.
"The Lord of Darkness?" Angel's eyes flickered, and he sounded quite arrogant.
Bonnet nodded: "The Dark Lord, this is what the people in the Knights call him. But who he is exactly, whether he is a man or a woman, I don't know, because he has never appeared at the Round Table... Perhaps only the noble knights know his identity."
