Chapter 574: Traditional Hot Soup

Chapter 574: Traditional Hot Pot Soup

If we say that before, Avis, who entered this world through the edge of dreams, was an outsider who broke in accidentally.

Now, after obtaining the characteristics of the dream on the small bed, he had applied for an identity card in this dream by himself, and changed from a "stowaway" to a normal member of the dream.

Anvis has given a lot of consideration to making this choice.

In this kind of dream with special rules, obtaining a formal dream identity will allow him to move more conveniently in the dream world.

If you don't have this identity, you can only explore carefully to avoid accidentally triggering the dream's defense mechanism.

According to his previous test, the power of this dream was obviously not something he could resist, so the longer he maintained his identity as a stowaway, the greater the risk he would take.

At this moment, as the power of the dream defense mechanism dissipated, the surrounding space resumed movement.

From Sel and Gray's perspective, the old witch who had originally grabbed them suddenly stopped moving, and then a gentle force suddenly came from around her body, carrying them quickly to the side.

Before they could figure out what was going on, on one side of the room, a young man who looked not much older than them suddenly appeared silently out of thin air.

Her short hair had a light golden luster like the sun, her body was flawless like the most beautiful dream, and when she gazed into her blue eyes that were like a deep lake, it seemed as if she could see a mysterious magical light shining in them.

Gazing at Avis in fascination, the two suddenly felt a vague urge in their hearts to become one with him.

But the next moment, as Avis readjusted his state and restrained the natural overflow of his body's power, the intoxicated look in the two people's eyes gradually dissipated.

Due to the huge gap in life levels, for ordinary people, the extraordinary charm emanating from his unconscious essence can be regarded as an alternative form of pollution.

If it was any later, Avis wasn't sure how long the two would be able to maintain their self-awareness.

Just like the admonition 'Don't look directly at God', for ordinary people, top-level professionals are also within the scope of 'God'.

“You, you are…”

After gradually regaining consciousness, the girl Gray looked at Avis in a trance and spoke haltingly.

"You saved us, thank you for your kindness."

It was the boy Sel who recovered first. Although he was also attracted to Avis, as a homosexual who had not yet been turned gay, he was not affected that much for the time being. At this moment, he quickly pulled the girl to salute Avis.

As a civilian child, Sel knew very well that he had to show the utmost respect when facing professional masters, so that he could live longer.

"No need to be polite, tell me how you feel?"

Avis waved his hand, looked at the old witch he had imprisoned, and threw her into the pot with a wave of his hand.

This dream has heavy traces of human settings, whether it is attracting the spirits of ordinary people or simulating scenes through things in their memories. There are beautiful things, but also sources of fear.

They even considerately set up limited protection mechanisms to prevent these people from dying when they were still unaware of the situation. These complex dream operating mechanisms were obviously not formed naturally.

Now Avis is here to help them complete the last piece of the puzzle of this ritual or test and see what the outcome will be.

Everyone watched Anvis's actions without knowing the truth, but as the old witch put the pot into the water, the strange thick green liquid that was originally bubbling in the pot suddenly boiled over as if a bucket of water was suddenly poured into the oil in the hot pot.

The originally green liquid quickly turned into a dark color like night, and a wisp of black smoke overflowed from the pot.

"Ugh!"

At the same time, white dream light suddenly appeared on Sel and Gray's bodies at the same time, and a special tingling sensation stimulated the two of them so much that they covered their heads and screamed out.

After a while, Avis packed up the pot and the smoke, and listened to the two people who had fully recovered telling them their own information.

As he had guessed before, the two were indeed from the Federation and the Empire respectively. But there was something different: their bodies in reality had died, and only their spirits, which were about to dissipate, were captured in this dream.

Before Avis threw the old witch into the pot, they remembered nothing about their identities except their names.

It was only just now, after the first test for the two of them was over, that their own memories were completely unlocked, and they also received some additional clues from their dreams, and learned the general situation of this dream world.

This is the place of inheritance left by a powerful dream spellcaster. Before he was ready to break through to the legendary level, he left his inheritance in the deep dream world.

In order to avoid failure in his attack, which would cause the precious magical knowledge he had acquired throughout his life to be completely lost.

Those who are qualified to enter are basically the spirits of people who have recently died.

As long as they pass all the tests in the dream, they can use the power of the dream world to reshape their bodies and return to the main material world.

It is said that in the deepest part of the inheritance, the spellcaster even left the direction of breaking through the legend there.

"I'm from the Federation's Leica Kingdom. Due to years of war, a group of bandits attacked my home. I got separated from my family while escaping, so I had to flee into a strange forest that suddenly appeared recently and was said to be haunted. Then I died for some unknown reason."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

“I am from the Paravani province of the empire. The weather has been too cold recently and there is no food at home. I am cold and hungry, so I have to go to the house in the old city to find food.

About half a year ago, for some reason no one lived there. When I opened a large wardrobe, I seemed to hear some noise coming from inside, and I don’t remember anything after that.”

Finally, Sel and Grey each told Avis their last memory before their death.

"Okay, I roughly understand the situation. Thank you for your cooperation."

Nodding, Avis left them two magic accessories for self-protection, and then said goodbye to the two.

Through the descriptions of the two children and his observations of Sel and Grey's own existence, he obtained a lot of important information.

The way the two children entered here is most likely related to the recently appeared 'overlapping area'.

After he stopped the Lord of Dreams [Maelim] from coming, this phenomenon began to appear without warning and irregularly in various places in the Yar Continent. There are all kinds of incomprehensible and strange dream phenomena, which are threatening even to formal professionals.

At the same time, although the two themselves might not be aware of it, Avis could sense a unique dream quality in them.

This is not the power of this dream, but the influence of the aftermath of Maelim's projection.

Now it seems that the incident can be regarded as an alternative super-large adventure, and countless people were lucky enough to gain the gift of dreams from it.

After leaving the candy house, Avis looked at the big pot of old witch's soup in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Should he also participate in this trial?

If he chose to participate, what identity should he give himself? A normal trial participant like Selgra? Or a nightmare incarnation like the old witch?
