Chapter 4311 A Strange Fate from Heaven
after an hour.
Liriel and the Decayer encountered another wall of questions.
This time, Normeffens is noticeably younger than the previous ones, even a little childlike, with clear eyes like an innocent child.
Its overall demeanor was noticeably better than the other clones; it spoke clearly and without arrogance.
Moreover, the questions it asked were very simple; it merely described a few of its growing pains and asked Liriel and the Decayer to give their advice.
For example, if it is troubled by the uncertainty of the future, the Decayer suggests learning, restraint, and waiting; while Liriel advocates actively seeking, communicating, and embarking on a journey.
For example, it struggles with its perspective on the world. The withered one suggests reading, accumulating knowledge, and letting things settle before change occurs; while Liriel advocates communication, imitation, and seeking truth through competition.
Their answers were completely opposite, but Normeffens accepted them both and approved of their answers.
A moment later, the question-and-answer session on the wall of questions came to an end.
Of all the questions on the wall, this was the simplest one they found to be, requiring almost no effort.
Furthermore, Normeffens agreed with Liriel's question.
“I already knew about the drawbacks of long-lasting consciousness. Now I would like to ask Lord Normefens to tell me what the advantages of long-lasting consciousness are?” Liriel asked.
Nomefen said frankly, "You'd be better off asking me about this with my other clones, I don't really know much about it."
"However, due to the rules, you can no longer change the question, so I will try to answer it."
With a youthful appearance, Nomefen tilted his head, deep in thought...
After a long while, it seemed to have thought of something and finally managed to utter a sentence: "Aside from the drawbacks, everything else is advantageous!"
Liriel: "..." This is exactly the same as saying nothing at all!
Perhaps noticing the speechlessness in Lillie's eyes, Normeff said somewhat shyly, "Because there are so many benefits, so many that they're like air. I can't explain them, and I can't even sense them, but they're everywhere."
Liriel sighed; it was as if she hadn't said anything at all.
She thought for a moment: "Even ranking in the top three would be fine."
If this suggestion were made at any other Wall of Questions, Liriel's suggestion would definitely be met with ridicule, as if she had broken the rules; but in front of this childlike version of Normefens, it did not criticize her, but instead truly fell into thought.
After a moment, it spoke: "If I had to rank the top three advantages, my answers would be: rebirth, safety, and mystery."
"First place, rebirth. The fact that I can come back to life is definitely the biggest advantage."
"Second place: safety. When I was in the Abyss, there were always malevolent abyssal monsters and demons trying to steal my treasures. Malice and danger were everywhere. But here, there won't be these problems, because they can't get in!"
"Third place, mysterious. I still can't understand the rules of this new world. It's even more mysterious than the abyss. This kind of world will definitely allow me to reach heights that I could never reach before."
"That's my answer."
After answering, Normeffens yawned like a sleepy child: "I'm going to sleep now, goodnight."
The next second, the air returned to silence.
Liriel had originally thought that since Normeffes was so easy to talk to this time, she might be able to linger on the edge of the rules: just like when she reminded her about the 'ranking' earlier, she could indirectly ask a few more questions.
But to everyone's surprise, it left very quickly, giving no time to react.
Despite her helplessness, the answer Normiffens gave Lillie gave her some new ideas.
The advantage of "rebirth" is obvious to anyone with eyes to see.
The answers "safe" and "mysterious" surprised Lillie somewhat.
Normefens said, "It felt no malice or danger here because they could not get in." Could this be interpreted as: Normefens's place was isolated from the world, and outsiders could not reach it at all?
Is this the true essence of "security"?
If we understand it this way, then the Deep Dream civilization fits this characteristic very well.
The Deep Dream Civilization is a world inaccessible to outsiders; even legendary beings perish along the way, making it naturally very safe.
As for "mystery," it also fits the Deep Dream civilization perfectly.
Or rather, for all wizards in the Dream Wizarding Circle, the Deep Dream Civilization has always been synonymous with "mystery".
It is precisely because of its mystery that generations of dream witches have flocked to it like moths to a flame!
Could this really be the Deep Dream Civilization? Or a region related to the Deep Dream Civilization?
Thinking of this, Lillie's heart suddenly started pounding rapidly.
After all, she is a dream witch!
……
Not bad!
In the void, Angor gave Normefens a thumbs up.
This answer can be considered a natural fit.
Judging from Lillie's current reaction, she's probably imagining things again.
“Speaking of which, I’ve always been curious,” Angor said, looking at Nomefens, “Do the different incarnations of the Wall of Questions really have different personalities?”
This youthful version of Normeffens is very natural in both demeanor and tone.
Angell couldn't detect any trace of acting.
Normfins: "Yes, they all have different personalities; it's a privilege granted to me by the Great Will..."
Normeffens didn't hide anything and briefly described this kind of permission.
It can integrate its different stages of self into the Wall of Questions in the form of sliced sculptures, serving as examiners for different Walls of Questions.
This time, the Wall of Questions contains a fragment of Normefens' childhood self.
"Although they are slices and clones, I can contact and control them in real time."
This is why these clones can perfectly execute the commands of the main body.
Angell pondered for a moment. Wasn't this so-called sliced clone just a "time body"? Could the powers of the Fairy Realm grant special NPC time bodies the authority?
Even though it's only within a dungeon, it's still very strong... You know, he still hasn't learned how to create clones.
Angel shook his head, not bothered by it.
The ability to create clones is a double-edged sword, with both advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, the cost of learning it is very high, and he doesn't have that much time to learn it right now.
Furthermore, the Dream Crystal Plain is filled with a nightmarish aura. As long as he refines his God's Perspective ability, he can use illusion magic to create illusory clones in various parts of the Dream Crystal Plain.
This could be considered a clone... right?
For the next while, Angor continued watching Liriel and the Decayer solve puzzles and complete challenges.
After that, they encountered a new wall of questions.
Normefens once again subtly incorporated some characteristics of the "Deep Dream Civilization" into the answer, giving Liriel endless room for imagination.
As for these walls of questions, Angor didn't interfere at all; it was all left to Normefens to handle on his own.
This made Angell think about something while he was feeling relaxed.
The current progress of the Decayers is: 19 treasure chests and 9 walls of inquiry.
Based on the setup of 99 full treasure chests and 36 full question walls, it would take them at least a few more days to collect them all. He had been here from noon until night, and then from midnight until almost dawn.
He couldn't stay here forever; the stone table meeting at the manor, the lira class in the modern city, the live broadcast of the real-world ceremony... all of these were happening simultaneously.
Most importantly, that large group of Prussians are still waiting at the gates of dreams and need his help to settle them.
Since Normefens can perfectly execute the guidance mission right now, why don't we leave for the time being?
Moreover, even if he leaves, he can still observe the situation from a god-like perspective. Nomefens's clone is also outside now, and if an accident occurs, the clone can remind him.
With this in mind, Angell shared his thoughts with Normefens.
“No problem!” Normefens nodded. “Please rest assured, sir, leave it to me!”
Its attitude was so respectful that even Angell found it a bit strange.
However, what Angor was unaware of was that after attending a stone table meeting at the manor, Normefens's clone had already gained some understanding of Angor's identity, coupled with what the original body had witnessed firsthand...
Although it was favored by the power of the fairy realm, Angor was not a favored one of the fairy realm's powers, but rather the representative of the entire Dream Crystal Plains' will. It was precisely because of this that he was able to easily bypass the fairy realm's powers and pull Liriel and the Decayers from the Dream Bridge into the Labyrinth of Interrogation.
In a sense, it has certain authority in the interrogation labyrinth, while Angor has authority throughout the entire Dream Crystal Plains, so naturally it dares not be negligent.
After a moment of contemplation, Angor gently flicked a wisp of Nightmare Aura towards Nomefens.
The illusory aura transformed into a glowing screen.
“You can contact me with just a tap on the screen,” Angell said. “If you have any questions, remember to contact me anytime.”
Normeffens nodded in agreement.
Angel thought for a moment, then added, "If I'm not in the Dream Crystal Plains, I'll contact Laplace... You should know Laplace, right?"
Nomefens nodded; its clone had already made contact with Laplace in the outside world.
If Ingres is the number one figure in Dreamscape, then Laplace is undoubtedly the number two figure, both of whom have decision-making power.
Angell said softly at the end, "Thank you for your hard work."
Then I opened the teleportation card and chose to leave the interrogation maze.
……
The Crystal Origin of Dreams, as dawn breaks.
Although a night had passed, the players' camp was still bustling with activity, especially after the leaderboard was released in the early morning. The Rabbit Hole team's overwhelming lead in the standings was still being talked about by everyone.
In just three days, they achieved a perfect clear of all three puzzle levels, while no team has yet managed a perfect clear of the other levels, which speaks volumes about their achievement.
At this point, almost no one was thinking of challenging Rabbit Hole for control of Area 1.
As for the teams that are still gritting their teeth and pushing forward with the six-fold puzzle challenge, they are mostly paving the way for the subsequent battle for area 2. After all, experienced teams and inexperienced teams are on completely different levels after being tempered by the puzzle challenge.
The discussion in the players' camp has now completely shifted to: the strength of the Dream Mirror and future predictions.
Angel had barely emerged from beneath the floating island, and before he could even process what was happening, he was already hearing a great deal of discussion about the Dream Mirror, including, naturally, information about himself.
The main reason is that Angel didn't come out with the Rabbit Hole team, which attracted a lot of attention.
Some even speculated that he might have met with some misfortune.
Of course, such a statement would be refuted as soon as it was made, because the members of the Rabbit Hole team showed no signs of grief.
This doesn't seem like the squad is at risk of losing members.
More speculation is that...Angol obtained some kind of disguise tool, disguising himself as a man with purple skin and short white hair.
Without a doubt, they were talking about Elan.
Elan came out with everyone else.
The Book Fairy is most likely the Observer, so Eran might be "Angel" in disguise.
This claim spread like wildfire, but ultimately it was proven false.
Because, after a night, Angel finally showed up.
The moment Angel appeared, he was immediately spotted by the people in the players' camp. In an instant, the entire camp fell silent, as if the freeze button had been pressed.
After a while, someone finally thought to step forward and inquire about the situation.
But even faster than them was Laplace.
Yes, Laplace was also in the players' camp at this time. Not only her, but most of the other Dream Mirror members were in the players' camp, and they had just come out of the Text Manor.
Just half a minute ago, Normefens's clone indicated that Angel had returned.
The crowd then decided to come out and greet them.
Angell also caught a glimpse of Laplace and was about to greet him when a strange sensation suddenly rushed into his mind!
His expression changed slightly, his brows furrowed instantly, and his raised hand froze in mid-air.
"and many more!"
Angell's initial wave turned into a gesture to stop.
Laplace and the other Dream Mirror members all looked puzzled.
Angel quickly said, "I need to leave for a bit, I'll talk to you later!"
Before anyone could react, Angel's figure vanished in a flash, clearly indicating that he had logged off.
Laplace didn't know what had happened either. She gestured for everyone to return to the Text Manor first, while she prepared to find a way to have someone log off and contact Luigi to see what had happened.
However, before she could find someone to log off, Angel's voice came to her ears.
Laplace's expression froze instantly after hearing Angell's message.
……
Let's rewind a few minutes.
Angell had just arrived at the players' camp and was about to greet Laplace when he felt a strange sensation.
This strange feeling might not be known to others, or they might not even feel anything unusual.
But Angell was different. As the controller of the Power Tree, he clearly saw a large amount of power gathering around him, and it was already showing signs of taking shape.
Although the information about these powers is currently incomplete or even fragmented, Angell managed to understand why the power was gathering around him by deciphering these broken pieces of information.
—He's been targeted by the powers of the Fairy Realm!
To be precise, the powers of the fairy realm were about to give him a "miraculous encounter from heaven"!
This so-called "serendipity" is essentially a crystal artifact. Angor doesn't yet know exactly what kind of crystal artifact it is, but he understands its meaning perfectly—a medium for the Wonderland instance!
In other words, the power of the Wonderland is preparing to condense a replica of Wonderland somewhere around Angor!
Although he didn't know why the Fairy Realm Authority would do such a thing, he was in the players' camp, and if a dungeon appeared, there was a high possibility that some reckless people would break in... You know, some dungeons are extremely dangerous.
Even if it's not a dangerous instance, if an instance like the Sunshine Circus appears that has an omen-like feature, and the omen rule is "people within a certain range," then everyone in the surrounding camps will be forcibly drawn in.
With this in mind, Angell logged off almost without hesitation the moment he sensed something was wrong.
Because the information from the powers indicates that this Wonderland instance is locked on himself, no matter where he is, the crystal creations will directly spawn near him.
Then, if he logs off and logs back in from a safe location, he can directly change the location where the dungeon appears.
That's why he logged off so hastily—to avoid appearing in the crowd during the dungeon.
