Chapter 4402 Seeking a New Path
The Sun and Moon Wizard turned and walked inside, and Uriel and Guleimo immediately followed.
But they had only been following for a short while when they saw a shadow crow suddenly emerge from the shadows and transform into a black bottle in front of Mr. Sun.
Mr. Sun glanced at it and casually handed it to Uriel behind him.
"You can keep this."
“This is…” Uriel looked at the bottle in confusion. It was made of glass and was pitch black inside, with a faint white outline that could be seen in the background.
Mr. Sun said calmly, "It contains Rigota's remains, which Shadow Raven brought out from the nearby swamp just now."
Uriel was startled and quickly changed from holding the glass bottle to hugging it with both hands.
Mr. Sun continued, "There is an inscription inside the bottle that can release low concentrations of undying spirit mist in a cycle. It has a certain effect on restoring bone qualities. Once the bottle is opened, this inscription will disappear."
"So, if you intend to perfectly resurrect Rigota, then wait until all the prerequisites are met before taking her remains out of there."
Uriel took a deep breath and nodded: "Thank you, sir."
The collection of Rigota's remains and the supply of specially made undead mist were clearly done by the Sun Wizard. If there are no surprises, it was a favor given by Mr. Sun after they chose to "return Sean to his original form".
Uriel and Guleimo felt a sense of relief; perhaps their choice was the only optimal solution.
Soon after, the Sun and Moon Wizards led them to a small garden on the northwest side of the castle, surrounded by exotic flowers and plants. There were lamp trees with hazy lanterns hanging from them, enormous leyline flowers that emitted fragrant clouds, and shadow grasses that would make way for them as they moved forward...
At that moment, Mr. Sun arrived at the very center of the garden. The instant they stood still, the surrounding flowers, plants and trees seemed to sense their thoughts and retreated more than ten meters, leaving an empty garden area.
Then, Mr. Sun gestured for Uriel and Gulemo to come forward, and in their presence, pulled a small sapling with a faint starlight from the Shadow Realm and planted it in the center of the garden.
This starlight sapling is the Soul Tree.
“Although this Soul Tree is only a sapling, it is enough to nurture the soul of an apprentice and dozens of mortal souls.” Mr. Sun glanced at the two of them: “Rigota’s soul is only at the mortal level, so this is enough for her.”
It's not just enough, it's even a bit too much.
But Mr. Sun couldn't do anything about it; this was the youngest sapling in the film industry, and there was no weaker one.
After transplanting the Soul Tree, Lady Moon took out a transparent bubble from the original glass ball.
It looked a bit like a soap bubble, shimmering with iridescent colors under the glow of the lantern tree.
Through the colorful bubble wrap, Uriel and Gulemo could clearly see the life form of Rigota curled up inside.
They resisted the urge to rush forward and simply watched Lady Moon's actions quietly.
She gently hung the bubble on the Soul Tree, like a ripe fruit, reflecting the starlight of the Soul Tree.
As the bubble returned to its place, Rigota's face inside became clearly visible, as if... she had come to life.
Looking at Rigota's radiant and beautiful face, as beautiful as ever, Uriel hesitated for a moment, then bowed to the Moon Lady and said, "Respected Moon Lady, may I ask you something?"
"Oh?" Lady Moon was in a good mood and nodded. "Speak, what is it?"
"Will Rigota have self-awareness on the Soul Tree? Will she be able to perceive emotions from the outside world?"
Lady Moon glanced at Rigota, who was still curled up in the bubble, thought for a moment, and said, "She will have a faint consciousness and will occasionally wake up, but the time she wakes up will not be too long... After all, she is a mortal and her soul is very weak."
"During her awakening phase, she could see her surroundings, but she couldn't express herself because her soul quality was too low to support her in expressing herself with energy."
"Moreover, even if she could learn to express energy on her own, and had enough energy, she still wouldn't be able to speak. Because I didn't remove the bubble seal that Sean created with the inscriptions."
The reason is that the bubbles are a seal, but also a form of protection.
While inside Sean's body, Rigota can gradually adapt to Sean's body while her soul remains unchanged.
Now that she has left Sean's body and been placed on the Soul Tree, the bubble can also ensure that Rigota will not encounter any accidents and will stay away from the Soul Tree.
Yes, there is a chance that a living soul can stray away from the Soul Tree, for example, by awakening in a daze and then leaving.
At this point, without the protection of the Soul Tree, she would instantly transform from a living soul into a dead soul.
Therefore, having this bubble actually saves trouble, as there's no need to worry about Rigota getting too far away.
Uriel roughly understood. Rigota's current situation was like that of a porcelain doll sealed to the Soul Tree, extremely weak, and she had even lost the ability to speak.
Uriel was silent for a moment, then said, "After she wakes up, will she be able to hear us?"
Lady Moon shook her head: "I can't hear you, but I can see you. But my personal advice is that it's best not to let her see you when she's awake..."
"Why?" It was Guleimo who spoke. As soon as Lady Moon finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask first.
Lady Moon didn't seem to mind Guleimo's rudeness and explained, "Her spirit is too weak. If she gets too excited when she sees you, it could consume her already limited soul quality."
Gulemo and Uriel didn't understand the connection between emotional excess and soul quality, but they roughly understood what the Moon Lady meant: as a "porcelain doll," Rigota had to be careful in every move she made, even more gently and cautiously than when caring for an infant, to avoid any problems.
Gulemo naturally didn't want his sister to be harmed in the slightest, so he immediately nodded: "I understand... I won't appear in front of her until she is resurrected."
When Gulemo said those words, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
But for his sister's sake, he accepted this "separation in life".
At least this is better than the "death" of previous years.
Uriel was silent for a moment, and accepted the result, but after thinking for a moment, he proposed a new possibility: "Could Rigota go to the Dream Crystal Plains?"
The moment the Dream Crystal Plains were mentioned, the Sun and Moon Wizards all turned their gazes toward them.
They spoke in hushed tones for a moment, then nodded slightly to Uriel: "If there are no unforeseen circumstances, then it's fine."
"As long as she can have a body in Dream Crystal Plains, all the previous restrictions can be lifted."
With a physical body, there's no need to worry about consuming that fragile soul. The "dream shell" is enough to support many situations, whether it's everyday conversations, intense emotions, or even playing games all night long.
"Then...madam, could you please take Rigota to the Dream Crystal Plains?" Uriel asked excitedly.
He now has legal status, and as long as Rigota can go to Dream Crystal Plains, he can meet her there!
Lady Moon was silent for a moment.
To be honest, she always felt that she could easily meet the demands of mortals; this was the confidence of a legendary wizard.
But she really couldn't do Uriel's request.
Dream Crystal Plains...
The main reason she and her husband stayed in Dawn City for so long was because of Dream Crystal Plains.
In her view, this is a subject that is more expansive, more magnificent, and more mysterious than the subject of "Sean".
Even now, as a legendary wizard, she doesn't even know where to begin.
Even Juanjuan, the cat favored by fate, was completely clueless about the Dream Crystal Plains.
But Juanjuan also told them that Dream Crystal Plains was definitely an opportunity, a very important opportunity for them, a revelation of fate.
That's why they patiently played house with Luigi.
Even though they had already seen through Luigi's thoughts—they would never give them 100% approval until Luigi himself cleared the Uriel dungeon.
Even if they saw through his idea, they pretended not to understand and continued to cooperate with him.
I log on every day to check for likes.
All of this is because of the "Dream Crystal," and only by gaining Luigi's approval can they have a legal identity.
Thinking of this, Lady Moon couldn't help but glance at Uriel. She wondered what was wrong with this kid. He was so lucky that Dream Crystal Plains had set up two stages for him in a row, one was the Uriel instance, and the other was the Misty Swamp instance.
Even though Uriel was just an ordinary person, he had gained legal status after being nurtured on two stages in a row.
They even acquired a Script Swamp. — Although they didn't know what a Script Swamp was, judging from Luigi's previous reaction, it was definitely a rare and valuable item.
Even the Moon Lady, whose emotions had remained stable for many years, couldn't help but feel a pang of envy and jealousy towards Uriel.
“Ligota’s consciousness has been dormant for a long time, and her emotions have been suppressed for many years. If she can enter the Dream Crystal Plains, her consciousness can be reactivated and her emotions can be reactivated, which will be good for her future recovery.” Lady Moon paused: “Unfortunately, whether or not she can enter the Dream Crystal Plains is not up to me.”
"That world is a..."
Lady Moon wanted to give a general description, but didn't know how to put it, so she could only say wearily, "It is the embodiment of supreme power."
"Even we can't have much of an impact there."
"Therefore, I cannot help you obtain the qualification to enter Rigota."
“In fact, it seems to me that you yourself are far more likely to qualify her than I am.”
“However, although I have no way to help you, you can try to find Camillo and ask him to contact Blanche and have Blanche take Rigota to the Dream Crystal Plains.”
This was the only possibility that Lady Moon could think of for Rigota to step into the Dream Crystal Plains.
Uriel felt a little regretful, but he still nodded.
He originally thought that with Lady Moon's abilities, Rigota could directly enter the Dream Crystal Plains, thus avoiding disturbing Blanche—because Uriel knew that Blanche had a very serious "illness," and he was a little afraid of disturbing her.
But now it seems that relying on Lady Moon alone is not enough; we have no choice but to go to Blanche.
Fortunately, Blanche had already agreed to help Rigota.
"If you are going to find Camillo, this shadow raven will guide you." As soon as the Moon Lady finished speaking, a shadow raven emerged from the shadow at her feet, flapping its dark, feathery wings and circling above Uriel's head.
Uriel immediately nodded, wanting to get everything settled today.
He looked at the shadow crow and asked it to lead the way.
At this moment, Gulemo, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked, "Can Camillo also take me into the Dream Crystal Plains?"
As soon as Guleimo finished speaking, everyone looked at him with strange eyes.
Gulemo looked confused.
Uriel explained in a low voice, "You don't need to take Blanche's route. You can get in every night on your own. Have you forgotten your harp student?"
You mean Luigi?
For a while, Gulemo would teach Luigi harp skills in his dreams every night, and even gave Luigi the title of "Star of the Green Fields".
In a sense, Luigi was Gulemo's student, carrying his hopes for the future of the harp.
"Yes."
"But isn't that the dungeon courtyard you mentioned?"
"That's right, but the dungeon is also in Dream Crystal Plains."
Uriel explained it to Guleimo in detail, but the latter was confused. Although he had learned about the situation of the Misty Swamp Forest instance and had occasionally heard the term Dream Crystal Plain, he was not a participant. He only had a general understanding of many concepts, but his understanding of the essence was vague and misplaced.
Now, with "Ligota" as a starting point, he carefully studied and finally roughly understood the differences.
"So, as long as I keep going to your instance, I'll be able to see Rigota?"
Uriel nodded: "Yes, but only if Blanche can send Rigota into the Dream Crystal Plains."
"In that case, let's not leave yet!"
"?"
"Go find Camillo right now!"
Previously, Uriel was anxious to find Camiro, but now it's the other way around, with Guleimo urging him on.
Because Gulemo was genuinely excited.
I originally thought I would have to endure it, and even knowing that my sister was in the Soul Tree, I would not be able to see her; but now I'm telling him that we can meet in the dungeon!
Moreover, you don't have to worry about speaking or emotional issues!
How could he possibly tolerate that?
Although they were eager to return home, they did not forget etiquette and once again solemnly expressed their gratitude to the Sun and Moon Wizard before leaving.
Mr. Sun paid no attention, his gaze fixed entirely on Ms. Moon.
Lady Moon smiled and nodded, accepting their thanks... She actually valued Uriel and Guleimo quite a bit, after all, these two had special identities in Dream Crystal Plains.
"By the way, I've also reserved a room for each of you in this castle. If you plan to stay here, the shadow raven will take you to your room."
Uriel and Gulemo were overjoyed and quickly thanked them again.
After that, the two bid farewell to the Sun and Moon Wizards and, led by Shadow Raven, went to find Camillo.
As Uriel and Guleimo disappeared from sight, the Moon Lady's expression returned to calm. She turned to the Sun Lord beside her and said in a nostalgic tone, "Do you think it could be her?"
“She did like the stick figure style, but many people were influenced by her, not necessarily just her. Besides, she’s dead.” Mr. Sun pondered, “Perhaps they were her fans.”
"Her fans? You mean the two of us, or Heinrich?"
Mr. Sun: "You know, the Queen has many fans, otherwise why would she be called the Queen?... The Queen's death has been confirmed by Mr. Night Sleeper, it definitely wasn't her."
Lady Moon knew, of course, that the chances of it being her were almost zero, but she still held onto a sliver of hope.
“However, since he’s a fan of hers, he might really be an old friend of ours.” Mr. Sun’s mind flashed through many faces, but they all ultimately vanished. He shook his head helplessly: “It’s a pity Heinrich has already gone to the Southern Region, otherwise we could ask him. After all, he was her student and should know more information…”
Lady Moon sighed softly, "I've already sent the top Shadow Raven to Ravencrest; perhaps we can get some intelligence."
Mr. Sun put his arm around her shoulder: "Don't overthink it."
"Sigh, I don't want to think about it too much, but I remember she once said that it's better to rely on yourself than on others. When I saw the method of relying on oneself, I should have thought it was related to her."
"That's the kind of person she is, and that's why she became...the Queen of Ravenburg."
