Chapter 180: The power of the sleeper.

Rainstorms, lightning and thunder, the cold wind from the northern frigid winds wrapped in the same cold rain on the spires of the castle. On this day, Kant’s most prestigious and oldest people made a dream, they dreamed. Time seems to go back to thirty years ago, back to the same rainstorm night, their young, strong and just and merciful lord is driving back to the town by horse-drawn carriage, and not far from the carriage is Kant Castle. The majestic exterior walls and towers are all shrouded in the mist and night when the rain is stirring. The carriage is galloping on the endless road, as if it is a dream that cannot be awake.

Gao Wen walked in the deep underground corridor, which led to the north tower of the castle. The soldiers who were supposed to guard the corridor fell to their posts. They still had the breath, but the spirit was already Being stripped of the world into a dream that is difficult to wake up, at the same time, this dream is also out of the illusion of illusion, it extends its tentacles to the real world, leaving itself in the real world formed by matter Distorted projection.

The mottled stone wall is covered with moss, and the moss is continuously peeling off, revealing the decaying wall below. The space-time logic inside the corridor seems to have lost its law at this moment. The scene in the dream is in the same scene as the real world. The positions are alternately staged, and the magic spar lights embedded in the walls are also flickering, and the sinister paintings of an ancient oil painting between the lamps are wonderful.

Bang!

A loud thunder broke through the sky. The underground corridor, which had a thick roof and was completely closed, was illuminated by the lightning. The dark ceiling did not know when there was a huge crack, and between the cracked stones, You can see the dark sky, and the rain falls down from the sky.

Gao Wen looked up and saw through the ceiling of the corridor that the entire upper half of the North Tower was floating in the sky, and the broken boulder and roof were suspended in the rainy night without gravity. Constantly swaying and smashing pieces of rubble between the collisions.

He ignored all of this and walked straight through the promenade filled with wind and rain. The false rain sprinkled on his body, sometimes letting him get drenched, and sometimes disappeared without seeing every observation, showing different results.

The heavy oak door finally appeared in front of him, just as it was seen in the dream. Gao Wen reached out, but before the finger touched the threshold, a shadow next to the door suddenly squirmed, and the figure of amber formed. : "Hey! Gao Wen, you can come!"

Gao Wen looked at Amber: "Have you found the lantern?"

"I touched here, here I can sense the obvious magic fluctuations, but no matter how hard I try, I can't open this door!" Amber's tone sounded particularly frustrating, apparently she was confident before, but as A thief couldn’t open an antique wooden door and it seriously hit her confidence.

"Can't open the door?" Gao Wen frowned. He looked back at the direction and found that the wonderful corridor was restored to stability at the moment. The broken walls and roof were re-closed, and there were no more places in the corridor. The wind and rain, the mottled moss and the falling bricks, the oak door at the end of the corridor is in a solid and complete state, although it is old, but closed and tight.

Gao Wen looked at Amber: "When you were here, did you see the rain in the corridor?"

The half-elves looked blank: "Rain? How could it rain in the corridor?"

"It seems that you are still in a dream," Gao Wen said in a clear heart. "The door to the dream is sealed. You can't open it anyway."

As he spoke, he looked at the oak door and then closed his eyes slightly, recalling the knowledge and power he had learned from the mental fragments of the eternal cultist: "Only in the real world, you open this door, you I will see the true look of this castle."

He opened his eyes again, and the wind blew in the corridor, rolling cold wind and rain. The dark stone roof was covered with a series of cracked gaps, the moss covered all the walls, and the oak door showed an old mottled, The appearance of disrepair.

With a slight push, the door opens.

Amber opened her eyes at the moment the oak door was pushed open: she finally saw the same thing as Gao Wen’s vision.

Miss Half Elf exclaimed: "This...how did the head break into this way?!"

Gao Wen shook his head: "Because it has not been repaired for thirty years."

Then he walked in front and walked with amber into the place where the entire illusion was maintained.

The cellar space behind the oak gates is still very well preserved. The upper towers block the rainstorm from the sky, and the noisy sounds of the surrounding area are gone, and the whole world seems to be quiet.

In the dimly lit space, the light of the lantern suddenly illuminates, and the warm and gentle radiance dispels the darkness. In the light range, a female figure wearing a white long skirt is emerging.

Behind her is the stone pavilion that Gao Wen saw in her dreams, and a large number of stone pillars in the same dreams support the entire cellar. On each stone pillar, there are countless invisible runes. .

"Mrs. Lilith Kant," Gao Wen looked at each other quietly. "Dream should wake up."

"Duke of the Duke, you shouldn't come to this place," Lilith's eyes were full of sadness. "If you don't happen as much as you can, it's good."

Gao Wen shook his head slightly: "But it has already happened. You are indulging in this dream. It is not a good medicine for you to deceive yourself and give you a sleepless person. You should be very clear. They just borrow your hand to gain strength. They gave you only an illusion."

"But I am willing to believe it, it is true!" Lilith Kant’s emotions suddenly excited. "I am already going to succeed. I have succeeded! As long as you don't come, as long as I keep hypnotizing myself, I will ...I will..."

Gao Wen loudly interrupted this woman who had fallen into madness 30 years ago: "You can never succeed, because the dream power that the sleepless person gives you has a congenital defect. The dreamer himself will always be awake! This is also the sleeper. Congenital defects that I can't solve myself!"

Lilith Kant’s expression stiffened for a moment: “Why... you know?”

"Because I swallowed a person who never sleeps, I got his knowledge and memory."

Lilith Kant’s figure swayed uncontrollably: “So... will you realize the truth here?”

"No," Gao Wen shook his head. "Although I got the knowledge memory of the eternal sleeper, I was really deceived by this 'real dream' when I first came here. Unfortunately, you left too many loopholes, I Only a little bit of awareness of the truth.

"Victor Kant’s study has many old books, and the latest one was collected thirty years ago;

"With regard to the accident 30 years ago, people in the territory and people in the castle showed a state of ambiguity, and the two groups of people had a very different understanding of the ‘the Viscountess’;

"The Viscount Kant appears to be the principal of the entire castle, but every time he comes to the things that involve you, he shows obvious dullness and sorrow, because you are worried that he realizes that he is only living in a dream, giving He set a strict mind lock;

"But the biggest loophole is not these, but the lantern in your hand. I am afraid that no one knows the origin of it in the world, but I know it. The lamp was a gift I gave it seven hundred years ago. A friend, and its role is to let the 'weaving dreamer' maintain self and find a way in a controlled dream world. In other words, the person holding the lantern is the one who really controls the dream!"

Standing aside for a long time, Amber finally figured out the whole thing. She suddenly opened her mouth and raised her finger to Lily Kant, not far away: "So... so thirty years ago..."

"Yes, the Viscount Kant and Master Belm were actually dead 30 years ago. They died on the spot when the carriage fell down the mountain, and the world knows that the priest who went crazy on the fourth day and died of poison The lady is the one who survived. This dream was not created by the Viscount Kant in order to recall his lover. On the contrary, the Viscountess accepted the power of the eternal sleeper, reshaped his husband in the dream and even let his husband This dream castle has been a lord for 30 years and has governed the territory for 30 years!"

"He manages the territory very well! He manages the castle very well! Even if it is a dream, why can't this dream continue!" Lilith Kant's voice suddenly became sharp, she was so good. The face quickly filled with hatred and madness, and the lantern that radiated a soft glow suddenly shrouded a layer of lavender light reminiscent of the starlight. The power provided by the eternal sleeper allowed the woman to maintain her youth for 30 years. Not old, but now it is finally time for the cult magic to ask for the price. In the last second, she still controls the lantern. After a second, she has become the slave of this lamp. "Why are you going to destroy this! Why are you coming?" Wake up to sleep! If you don't come... If you don't come... everything will be beautiful forever!!"

A huge, twisted black shadow formed behind the Viscountess, with a star-studded starlight in the shadow. It suddenly condensed a sharp hand from the illusion, screaming at the chest of Gaowen, and the shadow passed. The sound coming from and the voice of Lilith Kant overlap: "Destroy all this, what good for you!?"

Gao Wenyi raised his hand, and the Blazers’ sword has been kept in front of the chaotic claws: “You have used thousands of lives to maintain this, and it is about to threaten everyone on this whole land. , so destroying it is the biggest benefit to me!"

At the same time, in the ruins behind the main building of the castle, the Philip Knight's sword was raised high and then slammed down.

The castle is making a terrible sound behind him. A low-pitched roar is constantly coming from the direction of the North Tower. Although the main body of the castle is still intact, the entire North Tower gradually falls apart in the night sky, turning into pieces scattered and floating. Under the dark night, and there are huge bricks and roofs that break down and disappear into the squally showers.

But the Philip Knight did not care about the changes behind him. He faithfully executed Gao Wen’s command. After finding the focus of the scent with the ability to detect evil, he began to explore the powerful power of the collapsed ruins of the Cavaliers. He easily blew the decaying fragile ruins and slate ground, and finally, a hidden entrance appeared in front of him.
