Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2808 Sweet Dream
After the wise master explained to Xiaobao, he went to a corner of the room and took out a picture frame without a picture from a pile of sundries.

The wise master turned his head and glanced at everyone: "I'll go inside to rest for a while, and when you're done asking, you can ask Xiaobao to wake me up."

Before everyone could understand what it meant, the wise man's body gradually shrank, and he walked into the picture frame step by step.

With the disappearance of the figure of the wise man, there was a portrait in the original frame without a picture——sitting on a mahogany swing, basking in the sunlight outside the window, and dozing leisurely with his eyes closed.

In human aesthetics, symmetry is the most harmonious beauty, but it is actually difficult for a single eye to look beautiful.

But in this painting, the Rembrandt-style use of light makes the light and shadow outline on the face of the one-eyed boy deep and beautiful, quiet and beautiful.

"Is he really asleep?" Doakes murmured while looking at the sleeping teenager in the painting.

"Of course Lord Master is asleep. This painting is a sweet dream. In the painting, a short rest can..." The one-eyed little treasure in the water glass was explaining, but halfway through the explanation, he suddenly stopped .

Doakes looked at the one-eyed Xiaobao suspiciously: "Continue talking?"

One-eyed Xiaobao snorted: "Brother Erbao won't let me talk about the effect of sweet dreams, I'll listen to my brother!"

"Sweet Dream? Is it an alchemy item?" It was Angel who asked the question. He always felt that when Xiaobao described "Sweet Dream", he seemed to be talking about a special item rather than an ability.

But to say that this is an alchemy tool... Angel was very puzzled, because under the gaze of the alchemy eye, the material of the frame could be seen at a glance.

It is wood known to Angor, and it is not a transcendent material.

Since it's not an extraordinary item, why does Du Mu Xiaobao's tone seem to be describing some kind of alchemy item?
One-eyed Little Treasure continued to hum: "This is not a question from Qingkong Poetry Room, I won't answer it!"

The question Dokes asked just now has nothing to do with the Qingkong Poetry Room... Angel slandered inwardly, but he still said patiently: "Why don't you ask Erbao? Maybe Erbao agrees to your answer?"

The one-eyed Little Treasure didn't reply, but closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

A few seconds later, Xiaobao opened his big cartoon-style eyes on the water: "Brother agrees that I will explain Sweet Dreams to you, but I cannot talk about the effects of Sweet Dreams."

After finishing speaking, Xiaobao said to himself: "How do you explain this? You have to talk about sweet dreams, but you can't talk about the effect. It's so annoying!"

"How about I ask you?" Angel: "There is no mantra book here, you can choose to answer or remain silent."

The mantra book was taken away when the wise man left.

Everyone has no objection to this, and Xiaobao himself is not in the contract of the book of mantras, so even if it is shrouded in the book of mantras, it is meaningless. At most, the effect of "answering every question" can still work.But Xiaobao can answer irrelevant questions, or simply lie.

Also, Little Treasure's situation is very special, if it lies... everyone can actually hear it, so there is no need for a mantra book to bind it.

"Okay, hurry up and finish the question early so that I can go to my mother to complain."

"Complain? Sue us?"

"If you bully me, I will sue you. But not yet, I will sue Brother Erbao later, it actually ignored me before."

Everyone listened to Xiaobao's babbling, but they all had nothing to say.

Obviously Erbao just finished talking with Xiaobao, and now Xiaobao is going to sue Erbao for ignoring him. What kind of brotherhood is this?

"Anyway, hurry up!" Xiaobao muttered to Angel loudly after muttering for a long time.

"Well, I asked the first question just now, is Sweet Dream an alchemy item?"

Xiaobao: "No."

Angel: "Then what is it, an ability? A talent?"

Xiaobao thought for a while: "Neither. In the words of you humans, sweet dreams should be regarded as mysterious things."

Mystery? !Before, everyone wondered why Angel could not forget the sweet dream, but now everyone's eyes are bright... This is a mysterious thing!

But in the next second, everyone remembered what Xiaobao said before, and they could only say that the sweet dream itself cannot be said to be effective.This made everyone a little crazy, knowing that there is a mysterious thing in front of them, but they don't know its effect. The feeling of itching is really uncomfortable.

"Sweet Dream is a mysterious thing..." Angel squinted his eyes and continued to ask: "Then its body is this picture frame?"

Xiaobao: "Of course not. Sweet Dream has no body, it's just a dream."

Perhaps seeing that everyone didn't understand, Xiaobao thought for a while and continued: "Master Juggernaut once said that the predecessor of the sweet dream was a fragment of a blank dream floating in the sea of ​​empty mirrors. It contained a large number of beautiful dreams, and in the promotion of the right time and place, it transformed into a mysterious thing... a mysterious dream."

"It doesn't have a body. The reason why it can be accommodated by Master Juan is thanks to the help of a white-haired elder sister with different pupils. Now, it is stored in a special mirror world."

"Don't look at the Master Juggernaut entering from this picture frame. In fact, the frame is not important. The Master Juggernaut can enter through any mirror."

Others may not understand, but Angel probably understands.

This is actually a mystery in the abstract sense.

In Crowley's records, Angel saw many similar mysterious things.For example, the out-of-order thing "germination" is actually a mysterious thing in an abstract sense, because it is not necessary to find its body to enter the germination, and no one can find its body. It only needs to read the corresponding characters, and then A disordered rhythm that can enter the bud.

There is also "Heartbeat of the Lonely Clown", its effect is that all creatures who hear the heartbeat will dance for it.At first glance, it seems that the heart is a mysterious thing, but it is not, the heartbeat is the core.As for the mysterious thing like heartbeat, it can also be counted in the abstract sense.

In addition, "Growing Rays", "Old Dreams", and "Echoes" can all belong to this category.

Therefore, it was not surprising that Angel heard about Sweet Dream, a mysterious thing without a body.

Compared with its form of existence, Angel is more concerned about the process of its birth that Xiaobao said.

Is the birth process that the wise master said is real, or is it just made up at will to fool Xiaobao?If it is true, is it possible to find the key to the birth of the mysterious thing from it?

"How could the wise ruler be so clear about the birth process of Sweet Dream? Did he see it with his own eyes?" Angel thought for a while, but still asked the doubts in his heart.

"Master Juggernaut said it was this process, this is the process, why do you have any objections?" The one-eyed little treasure was a little puzzled why Angel would ask such a question. In its memory, the wise Juggernaut had almost never lied, since the wise man If the Juggernaut said so, then the process must be like this.

On the contrary, it was the suspiciousness of Angel and the others that made Little Treasure with one eye a little uncomfortable.

Angel also heard the disgust in Xiaobao's tone, thought for a while, and added: "I'm just a little emotional, why am I not so lucky to be able to witness the birth of Sweet Dream like the wise master?"

Hearing Angel expressing his admiration for the wise Juggernaut, Little Treasure immediately put away his displeasure, and said, "Master Juggernaut is great, how can you compare to him?"

Angel nodded with a smile, showing approval.

After confirming that Xiaobao's mood became positive again, Angel continued to ask: "Is this sweet dream related to dreaming?"

Just as Xiaobao was about to answer, he suddenly seemed to realize something: "Hmph, I won't tell you."

Angel: "If you don't tell me, I understand. However, let me guess its mechanism, okay?"

Xiaobao: "Whatever you want, I won't say anything anyway."

Angel: "Sweet dreams will make people fall into a deep sleep?"

Xiaobao didn't answer, but Angel felt "disapproval" from Xiaobao's emotions through super perception.

If this kind of emotion is placed in other environments, it can basically show that Angor guessed wrong.But at the moment, it doesn't mean anything.

Because the wise ruler entered the picture frame in front of them, and then presented a sleeping posture in the picture frame, which basically told them clearly that sweet dreams would make people fall asleep.Therefore, it is normal for Xiaobao to be disapproving.

Angel also understood that he asked this question first to let Xiaobao relax, so that he could better perceive Xiaobao's emotional ups and downs.

"After falling into a deep sleep, Sweet Dream will exert the effect of a mysterious thing." Angle paused: "The effect may be that when dreaming, there will be some positive benefits?"

Xiao Bao's mood fluctuated slightly, but this ups and downs were more of doubts.The source of doubts began when Angel said "positive income".

Angel's doubts about Xiaobao also felt very strange. He was a little confused. Does this mean that he said something wrong?
While Angel was thinking, Xiaobao said, "Uh, what is positive income?"

Angel: "..."

He was thinking deeply about what Xiaobao was wondering about, whether he had said something wrong.As a result, Xiaobao didn't understand the meaning of the words Angel said at all.

"Positive benefits are positive effects."

Xiaobao: "Isn't this nonsense, Master Juggernaut will let him sleep even if there are negative effects?...Okay, okay, I know, I won't say anything."

In the first sentence, Xiaobao was talking to Angel, but in the latter sentence, Xiaobao was silent for a while, apparently talking to Erbao.There is a high probability that Er Bao told him not to continue talking.

Angel's question is naturally not nonsense, because something like a mysterious thing does not necessarily give benefits.Whether good or bad.

Its effect is actually more of an "inverse rule", that is, an effect that cannot be discerned by logic.

It's like "the heartbeat of a lonely clown", dancing to the sound of the heartbeat, is this a positive effect or a negative effect?None of it counts, it just makes you lose control of your wanting to dance.Whether it is a mortal or a legend, there will be singing and dancing to the sound of the heartbeat.When a single person enters the heartbeat rhythm, without the help of teammates or outsiders, it is basically an unsolvable effect.

Little Treasure's understanding of mysterious things is obviously not comprehensive, so according to what it said, it is impossible for Lord Juggernaut to give him negative effects, which makes sense.

Little Treasure himself didn't feel that he had provided any information, but in fact the information it gave was quite useful.

This is a mysterious item that can give the user a positive effect, which is extremely rare among mysterious items.

"Mysterious things do not necessarily have positive effects." Angel said following Xiaobao's words: "Generally speaking, mysterious things will have some negative effects."

Angel originally wanted to lure Xiaobao into questioning, but Xiaobao wasn't fooled, he kept moaning, but didn't speak.

Angel could only continue talking to himself: "For example, a mysterious thing I've heard of, it's an inconspicuous log cabin. As long as you live in this log cabin, you will live forever .”

When it comes to immortality, Xiaobao doesn't feel much, because for a "little child", this word is not very attractive.But everyone else present turned their attention to Angel.

"There is such a mystery, you can't be lying, are you?" Doakes asked.

Angel: "Yes."

"Is it really possible to live forever?" Doakes asked with bright eyes.

Angel nodded again.

Doakes' eyes became brighter, but just when he wanted to ask further information about this wooden house, he suddenly felt excited: "You just said that mysterious things generally have negative effects, so what are the negative effects of this wooden house?" ?”

Angel didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "You can't leave. As long as you stay in this cabin, you will never grow old or die, but once you step out of the cabin, you will die suddenly."

Doakes: "...this kind of immortality, I think only Vai can afford it."

'Otaku' Vai dissatisfied: "It's not that I never go out, okay, if I don't go out, how can I get to your broken bar?"

Angel ignored the dispute between Doakes and Wai, but continued to talk about the negative effect of the mysterious thing: "However, the negative effect is not impossible to remove, and the method of removing it is actually in the name of this wooden house. .”

Angel's narration method, coupled with the suspense designed to whet the appetite, not only made everyone look at it with doubts, but even Xiaobao's big eyes were full of curiosity.

"The name of this wooden house is called - the lonely wooden house."

When Angel said these words, Kael whispered: "Lonely... wooden house? The wooden house is not a living thing, how can it be lonely?"

Kael's soliloquy seemed to remind everyone.

Doakes: "Could it be that the cabin is lonely and needs company, so those who accompany him can live forever?"

Angor looked at Doakes with a smile, motioning for him to continue.

Doakes: "And once the person who accompanied the cabin leaves, the cabin becomes lonely again, so it punishes the betrayer by killing him instantly?"

"You said that the way to stop the violent death is in the name of this wooden house. The most conspicuous name of the wooden house is undoubtedly 'loneliness', so making it no longer lonely, will it be able to stop the violent death?"

Doakes continued to think according to this logic: "Thinking about it this way, in fact, as long as there is another person to accompany the lonely wooden house instead of the existing one, the wooden house will not be lonely anymore, and will it not die suddenly if you leave?"

Angel clapped his hands and gave Dokes a 'like': "The explanation is wonderful, and the answer is exactly as you said. As long as someone can replace the people in the wooden house, the people in the wooden house will be safe and sound when they leave. "

"However, the lonely wooden house does not always exist in one place, and its shape will change with the place it goes. Therefore, the first person who steps into the lonely wooden house is basically stepping in by accident. Then, he How can someone else replace him?"

"Deceive. Deceive passers-by with words, and deceive friends with magic flying news."

"So, if one of you receives a flying message from a friend asking you to go to a certain place, and that place is a wooden house, then you have to be careful, you might be tricked."

When everyone was lost in thought, Angel changed the subject: "Again, I used this example just now to say that it is normal for mysterious things to have negative effects, but most of them also have ways to remove the negative effects."

"Sweet Dream doesn't necessarily have all positive effects, maybe he also has negative effects."

Angel looked at Xiaobao: "Based on the name of the mysterious thing, the sweet dream must be a sweet dream, and the sweet dream is the easiest to get addicted to, and even makes people unwilling to wake up. Will there be any negative effects of this sweet dream? In fact, once you fall into a dream, you can’t wake up on your own?”
