Chapter 4421 The Dream of Dawn
As Luigi was wondering about the meaning of "Dawn of Dreams," he suddenly discovered that the term seemed to be clickable to expand upon.
So he immediately used manual operation to make a point in the air.
The next second, a related explanation appeared in the text box—
"Dawn Dream: A special dream realm built within the narrow confines of dreams, reflecting the myriad dream omens of Dawn City."
Luigi looked completely bewildered after reading the explanation.
He hesitated for a moment before telling Angell what had happened.
"Touching the vortex didn't give me dungeon information, but rather a hint for the main quest?" Angor raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
He had previously found out that Luigi's main storyline was nearing its end, but triggering the main quest required a specific opportunity. He initially thought it would take at least ten days to half a month to encounter the opportunity, but it came in less than half a day.
Is this something that the powers of the fairy realm could accurately predict?
A flicker of curiosity crossed Angel's mind, but he didn't delve into it. In any case, the appearance of the main quest was a good thing.
As for what "Dawn's Dream" is related to the main quest?
“Isn’t it obvious?” Angell’s gaze fell on the vortex above the tree gate. “Regardless of how convoluted the explanation may be, it boils down to one sentence—”
"Dawn of Dreams is a new instance."
"And where is the new dungeon? Isn't it already quite obvious?"
Luigi paused for a moment, then a look of realization flashed in his eyes: "You mean... this vortex is the Dream of Dawn?"
Angel nodded: "That's right."
"Then why didn't I get any information about this copy?" Luigi asked, puzzled. His hands were still on the vortex, but no new information appeared.
If the vortex really is the "Dawn of Dreams" instance, then why can't he enter it?
Angell was also somewhat puzzled by this.
Moreover, he also didn't understand why the "Dawn of Dreams" instance would cause abnormal celestial phenomena... Before this, the appearance of a new instance had never triggered any natural anomalies in the outside world.
Angell had initially thought that Luigi would find the answer to his question simply by touching the vortex. But now, the problem wasn't completely solved; instead, even more questions arose.
He thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment while I check where exactly the 'Dawn Dream' is."
Since Luigi can't get the truth, let's go straight to pinpoint the location of the Dream of Dawn.
Moreover, instead of scanning and searching the entire area bit by bit, a simpler method can be used to directly locate the target:
Uriel and Guleimo have now been sucked into the vortex, which means they have most likely arrived at the Dawn of Dreams instance. So, by using the "Gatekeeper's" authority to locate their coordinates, we can find the location of Dawn of Dreams.
With this in mind, Angell entered the Power Tree and began to mobilize the "Gatekeeper's" authority.
A moment later, Angell sensed the location of "Dawn's Dream".
However, this position surprised him somewhat.
The Dawn of Dreams instance doesn't seem to be located in the Dream Crystal Plains, but rather suspended in the outer void.
Among the known copies, there are also those suspended in the outer void, such as... window copies.
Furthermore, some special areas within Modern City, such as the Hidden Waters, are suspended in the outer void and only border Modern City at dawn each day.
Currently, most of the instances isolated in the outer void share a common characteristic: they are related to other worlds.
The windowed instance contains a ritual array leading to the world of ritual, while the hidden waters contain a gate to the Dark Corner.
Why are these types of dungeons or areas all related to otherworldly realms?
The reason is actually quite simple—because the Celestial Realm's authority needs to protect the coordinates of the Dream Crystal Plains, these instances of sneaking into other worlds must be separated from the Dream Crystal Plains itself. This way, even if discovered by powerful beings from other worlds, the coordinates between the outer realms and the Dream Crystal Plains can be immediately severed, preventing counter-intrusion.
So, if we follow this logic... could Dawn of Dreams also be connected to another world, and like "Window," be a copy of reality?
Angell had some suspicions, but he also vaguely felt that something was wrong.
While real-world instances are indeed rare, there are precedents, such as windowed instances.
But when the "window" appeared, there were no large-scale changes in the celestial phenomena, right?
Angor was filled with doubts, but he ultimately decided to stop overthinking and go directly to the Dream of Dawn to see what was going on.
With this in mind, Angor began to search for the medium through which the Dream of Dawn could be expressed in the outside world, namely the crystal artifacts that existed in every instance.
Soon, Angor located the crystal artifact.
"...Rabbit Town?!"
Angor's expression turned puzzled again. Why was the entrance to Dawn's Dream in Rabbit Town? Dawn's Dream and Rabbit Town had no connection whatsoever.
However, he also thought of the unusual celestial phenomena that had occurred previously.
The anomalies are located in two places: one above the Uriel instance and the other above Rabbit Town.
So, were there already signs at that time?
Filled with doubt, Angell turned his gaze toward Rabbit Town.
A moment later, he withdrew his gaze, re-entered the perspective of the miniature garden, and looked at Luigi in the Uriel instance.
"I have already locked the entrance to Dawn's Dream."
Luigi's ears perked up: "!"
"Right in Rabbit Town."
A look of confusion flashed in Luigi's eyes: "?"
Angor: "The entrance to the Dream of Dawn is on the third floor of the Rabbit Building where the World of Grinding dungeon is located, and... if nothing unexpected happens, Priest Seth has also been pulled into the Dream of Dawn."
Luigi: "??!"
Not to mention Luigi's shocked expression, Angor himself was also taken aback. He had been keeping a close eye on Sean, but in the blink of an eye, the Dream of Dawn appeared in Rabbit Town.
And it precisely locked onto Sean, directly casting a vortex at his coordinates.
Sean was instantly sucked in, leaving only a distorted vortex and a bewildered Sam outside.
"To be precise, it wasn't that Sean accidentally entered the Dream of Dawn, but rather that the Dream of Dawn directly targeted Sean." Angell: "Why Sean was chosen so precisely is still unclear, but it is most likely related to Sean's identity."
Ingres recalled the interpretation of the "Dawn Dream," which explicitly mentioned: "The myriad dream signs reflecting the city of dawn."
In other words, Dawn's Dream is most likely related to Dawn City.
Currently, there are three people who have been chosen by the vortex and sucked into the Dream of Dawn: Uriel, Guleimo, and Shion.
All three of them are closely related to Dawn City.
Therefore, the reason why the Dream of Dawn chose them was definitely because of their real-life identities.
"So, the Dream of Dawn is a test specially created by the powers of the Fairy Realm for people with a background in Dawn City?" Luigi guessed.
Angell: "It's not clear yet; further investigation is needed to determine."
That's what they say, but Angor had a vague feeling that the Wonderland Authority might not be testing these people with Dawn City backgrounds, but rather... Luigi.
After all, Luigi's main storyline clearly leads him to the Dream of Dawn, and he is not from Dawn City.
Moreover, based on the previous "window" example, Angor has a guess that perhaps there is also an entrance to another world in the Dream of Dawn?
That entrance might be the key.
"I'll head back to Rabbit Town now to check on the situation inside Dawn of Dreams. I'll contact you again later."
"it is good."
“By the way, if Blanche and the others arrive later, you’d better keep them away from the vortex to prevent them from being sucked in.” Angell paused for a moment, then added, “But I have a feeling they might not come online.”
Luigi: "Huh?"
Angell: "It hasn't been online for so long, it's probably been sucked into the vortex."
This is not Angor's unfounded speculation, but rather because the Dream of Dawn hangs in the void, and Blanche and her companions must also smuggle themselves across the void to reach the Dream Crystal Plains.
Who knows, Blanche and the others might have been taken away beforehand.
"Anyway, regardless of whether they are online or not, just remember to keep them away, including the Sun and Moon Wizards."
The Sun and Moon Wizard is also in Dawn City; who knows, he might be sucked into the vortex as soon as he logs in.
Therefore, Angell needs to take precautions in advance.
After explaining all the follow-up precautions, Angell logged off.
A moment later, Angell logged in again, but he had already used the power of the "Dream Gate" to change his login location to the building in Rabbit Town.
Moreover, it's right near Sam's house.
At this time, Sam's house was completely surrounded by the United Guard, and no one was allowed to approach.
Sam, too, was forcibly removed from his home and is now being questioned by the Joint Guard in the hallway.
Upon seeing Sean being sucked into the vortex, Sam instantly sobered up and fled the room. He then ran to the Allied Guard for help.
Although Sam had previously appeared to have a rift with the United Guard, it was merely a matter of differing stances. When his life was truly threatened, he still turned to the United Guard immediately.
"So, the vortex sucked that human named Sean away the moment it appeared?" The one who asked the question was a Crystal Eyes guard. He stared at Sam, as if trying to make sure he wasn't lying.
Sam nodded quickly and recounted his experience, which he had already described several times.
The Crystal Eyes guard looked at the sealed gate, then at Sam: "If the vortex really has a powerful suction that can pull humans in, why are you unharmed? According to you, you and he were chatting at the same table, so you shouldn't be far from him."
Looking back now, Sam also found it somewhat strange.
Indeed, he was right next to Sean when they were talking, and Sam himself felt the suction force in the vortex, but it wasn't strong when it acted on him.
He was terrified when he saw the living person vanish in an instant, and immediately ran out the door. Throughout the entire process, he didn't feel any strong constraints.
This suction force is indeed a bit strange, as if it's targeted specifically at Sean, but not at him.
"What were you and Sean talking about?" The Crystal Eye Clan guards couldn't find any clues for the time being, so they focused their investigation on their conversation.
Perhaps it was the topic they were discussing that triggered the appearance of the vortex.
However, Sam hesitated for a moment, then finally managed to utter, "I was drunk, I can't remember..."
Seeing Sam's evasive eyes, the Crystal Eyes guard knew he was lying.
“If you don’t tell the truth, then I will have no choice but to hand you over to the higher-ups at the Charles Palace for judgment.”
Sam's face turned pale instantly. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but dared not... After all, he and Sean had mostly talked about the bad things about the Combined Guard.
Just as Sam was filled with inner turmoil and the Crystal Eyes guards were growing increasingly impatient, a voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Leave this to me for now."
Although the voice was gentle and calm, it was like a clap of thunder in spring, suddenly sounding from nowhere, and almost everyone subconsciously turned their heads.
When they saw that the person who came was Angell, the expressions of the members of the Joint Guard changed immediately, and they bowed and saluted.
Angel waved his hand: "I just happened to be nearby and discovered a new instance had appeared, so I came to check it out."
As he spoke, Angell walked toward Sam's room.
More than a dozen guards instantly retreated to the side, heads bowed, not daring to look at Angel.
Although Angel rarely appears in public, almost everyone knows that he and Laplace are most likely the ultimate elders of the Dream Mirror organization.
Laplace would occasionally make public appearances, while Ingres almost always remained behind the scenes, which made him more mysterious and harder to fathom.
No one could be sure what kind of personality Angel was, so they were even more cautious when they were around him.
Angell entered Sam's room.
In front of everyone, he gently touched the vortex.
Then, with a thoughtful expression, he walked to the door and said to the expectant crowd, "I just did a rough check. This should be a newly arrived instance. The level of danger cannot be determined for the time being. We will make a judgment after Gray Porcelain comes out of the Sandbox Wonderland."
"However, this instance is currently full, and no one will accidentally enter it for the time being."
At this point, Angor glanced at Sam: "It's precisely because the dungeon was already full that he wasn't sucked into it."
Everyone looked enlightened.
Although they dared not attempt to conquer the dungeons, they were still quite familiar with some of the dungeon rules.
Normally, touching a crystal artifact in a dungeon can pull you into the dungeon. However, many dungeons have a player limit. Once the dungeon reaches its maximum capacity, touching the crystal artifact will not cause any problems.
Angel touched the vortex in front of everyone, which was clearly to tell them that the vortex was not dangerous at the moment.
Upon hearing this, both the joint guards and the nearby residents breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lord Angor, my home..." Sam cautiously raised his hand, "...when can I go back?"
“Although this instance is currently safe, no one knows when the challenger inside will be eliminated.” Angell: “Once the challenger is eliminated, the instance may recruit someone from the nearest location.”
"So, you can't go home for the time being."
A look of disappointment flashed across Sam's eyes.
"But don't worry, I've already contacted Eveda. She'll arrange a new room for you when she arrives, and your household items will be moved there as well."
Hearing this, Sam finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded his thanks.
"As for the nearby guests, you don't need to worry. This instance is most likely a solo instance," Angor said. "Because we only brought one person in and it was already full."
"So, I'll arrange for a guide to stay here later."
"Even if the challengers inside are eliminated, the instance will only pull in the nearest people who are attempting to complete the challenge, and it will not affect you."
Angell's words brought a sigh of relief to the onlookers.
These days, dungeons are nothing new in Dream Crystal Plains. The reason they're watching is because they're worried about being drawn into one.
Now, Angell has provided a perfect solution, and they can finally put their anxieties to rest.
Before long, the onlookers dispersed, and the joint guards returned to their posts.
Now, only Angell remains at Sam's house.
After closing the door, Angell's brows slowly furrowed.
