Chapter 25, Part 1 "Feng Helang...suddenly disappeared."...
After taking Jim to the next room, Pereira first took out a bottle of tranquilizer.
Jim refused, "I just drank it, it won't work."
Xia Xifeng took out a small jam cake and said, "Try this. It also has a calming effect and can be combined with tranquilizers."
Perilla looked at Xia Xifeng quietly.
Xia Xifeng simply took out a large plate of various small cakes, all of which were perfunctory versions of honey cake with jam, cream and fruit added.
The cake base is the same, only the decorations are different, and the effects are also different.
Xia Xifeng also took out juice and tea, both of which have a slight buff effect on cooking skills.
The added buff is not important, the taste is the most important.
In fact, Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang both thought that these foods did not taste as good as the specialty foods bought from Green Sand City, but their friends insisted that these were the best foods they had ever eaten and they craved them every day.
Jim had lost his appetite recently, but he couldn't refuse the invitation and took a bite.
His mind told him that the cake was sweet, but his heart was still unsatisfied and he didn't think the cake was delicious.
But his body did feel much better and he was not as irritable anymore.
Jim said, "Thank you, I feel much better. Can I buy some food?"
Xia Xifeng said, "I made this myself, so I'm not selling it. But if you want to eat it, I can give it to you."
Jim insisted, "Let's pay it at the market price. Dwarves don't refuse money, but they can't take it for free."
Xia Xifeng blinked and smiled, "Alright. How about a job in exchange? I'd like to learn from you about forging techniques. In exchange, I'll provide you with daily snacks."
Jim nodded: "Okay."
After bonding over snacks, Jim relaxed and lay back on the sofa, allowing Pereira to examine him.
Xia Xifeng asked him if he was feeling unwell, what nightmares he had, and gave Jim chemotherapy.
Pereira lit the specially prepared spices, and Jim looked a little dazed, entering a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.
"It was after I came to Green Sand City that I suddenly started having nightmares."
"I seem to have forgotten something, and have been searching for something, but there's a voice in my heart that keeps telling me not to search, not to search."
"In my dreams, I slew endless monsters, searching in vain. Every time I was about to find it, I involuntarily stopped, unable to push open the door."
"I haven't been sleeping well. I'm so tired that I'm even hallucinating in reality."
"I can no longer sleep properly, and only alcohol can bring me temporary peace."
"But the nightmare won't stop..."
Jim's voice grew fainter and his tone grew slower.
He closed his eyes and his lips moved as if he was talking in a dream.
Pereira was trying to bring the staff close to his forehead when Jim's eyes suddenly widened, an axe appeared in his hand, and a red light burst out from his body.
Perilla had already prepared his defenses, and his blade-like aura was completely blocked. Xia Xifeng didn't even need to use the shield-equipped weapons he had prepared.
Jim suddenly became like a madman and kept shouting and yelling.
But his eyes were dull and his pupils were unfocused, as if he was sleepwalking.
Pereira first cast a silence spell, and then a sleep spell.
Xia Xifeng immediately gave Jim a bottle of sleeping potion.
Jim swallowed the potion reflexively and fell back onto the sofa, dropping the giant axe from his hand and automatically retracting it into his backpack.
Perilla breathed a sigh of relief: "It was really dangerous, luckily we were prepared... Feng, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Xifeng tucked his trembling hands into his sleeves: "Nothing, just a little scared."
The red whirlwind move Jim used just now looked very familiar.
Puppets cannot completely restore the appearance of real people, not to mention that adult male dwarves always like to dress similarly.
But when the blade-like red whirlwind appeared, Xia Xifeng could determine which "actor" Jim was in the puppet show in the copy.
A dwarf was drunk and causing trouble in Sunflower Valley, and he killed Rosie who "happened" to be pushed in front of him.
This is the beginning of all tragedies.
Xia Xifeng suppressed the anger in his heart.
His anger shouldn't be directed at Jim. It's not just that Jim hasn't done anything bad yet, but that Jim is completely unconscious.
Like now, he might be in a nightmare and unable to distinguish reality.
After that, Jim disappeared. Pereira took the halflings to the dwarf kingdom to seek justice, and Jim never showed up.
Everyone believed that the Dwarf King had protected Jim, and the Dwarf King himself probably thought Jim was in hiding. So, for dirty political purposes, he refused to help the halflings find the murderer, hoping to anger Amuruo and make him tear up the peace agreement first.
Jim's eyes were closed, his body was twitching slightly, and his forehead was wet with sweat.
He fell asleep and was trapped in a nightmare.
Perilla said, "Maybe we can get information from his nightmares. But it's very dangerous. If your mental strength is not as good as his, you will be swallowed by his nightmares. I think I can do it."
Although Pereira is confident in his own strength, the true identity of the monster has not yet been determined, and there may be a trap.
He decided to inform Amuruo first and let Amuruo decide what to do and whether to take the opportunity to enter the dream.
At this time, Xia Xifeng's figure was enveloped by a soft light.
[Emergency Mission: Complete the prerequisite "Save Lana." You have earned Jim's trust. He invites you into his dream and has automatically responded.]
[The player enters the dream in their true form. When the health bar is depleted, the player will return to reality. There is no danger to life, only a certain amount of mental energy will be lost. Please feel free to play.]
Before Xia Xifeng could come to his senses, he fainted.
When he passed out, the light disappeared and his body disappeared from the room.
Pereira was so frightened that she fell to the ground.
He hurriedly got up and prepared to continue contacting Amuruo, but Qin Lang pushed the door in with a sullen face.
"Lang, Feng he..." Pereira was at a loss, completely confused about what was going on.
"He fell into a dream. I will go after him right away. Help us find an excuse to cover it up." After Qin Lang finished speaking, he pressed the task teleport button and his figure disappeared.
Pereira's mouth opened slightly.
Just, just disappeared like that?
What is the mysterious identity of my two friends?
Their presence suddenly disappeared in the bedroom before. Did they disappear just like that?
Pereira's mind became confused.
"What happened? Lang suddenly dropped his pen and ran away." Leo walked in. "I racked my brains to come up with an excuse to comfort the frightened dwarf."
When Leo asked, Amuruo also answered the call.
"What happened?" Amuruo asked, "Did the dwarf go crazy? Did the monster finally appear?"
Perilla shook her head, slapped her face hard, and calmed down: "Feng Helang...suddenly disappeared."
He told Amuruo in detail about the diagnosis he and Xia Xifeng had made for Jim, and Leo listened with a frown.
Amuruo looked serious at first, but when he heard that Qin Lang had chosen to "disappear", his tense expression suddenly relaxed.
"They're fine. They might have entered the dwarf's nightmare. This is their divine favor," Amuruo said. "Cover up for them and say I suddenly have a mission for them. I'll immediately send other pioneer knights to clean up the pollution in the forest and desert."
"Yes, City Lord." Perilla was still worried. "Are they really alright? Did they really enter a dream? But ordinary people can only dream with their spirits; their entire bodies have disappeared."
Amuruo said, "Either the dwarves' dreams are strange, or it's their own abilities that are causing this. Don't worry, I know the gods who protect them very well. This little thing can't hurt them."
Amuruo thought to himself, it seems that this pair of descendants are really loved by God, and God exploits them even more cruelly than he exploited him and Sul.
When he and Sul were doing missions in reality, their strength was already very high. Even without the protection of God, there were few "mortals" in the world who could hurt them.
This pair of younger generations are so weak that they have to take on the task of saving the world in reality? Sigh, sympathy.
Amuruo had experienced his true body entering a dream before, so he immediately reacted when he heard the situation on the scene.
However, the time and space in the dream were very chaotic. Qin Lang and Xia Xifeng were unable to enter at the same time, and they might be separated after entering the dream.
I hope Qin Lang won't be too aggressive. Dreams aren't about violence. If Qin Lang kills too much, it will only provoke resistance from the dream, making it more difficult to break through.
At this time, Amuruo had a deep understanding of this, as he had been through it all.
"How to trick the dwarves, Leo? I don't need to teach you," Amuruo instructed. "You continue to help Qin Lang and Xia Xifeng manage the Knights' Territory... I might as well give you letters of appointment. You may even be acting as their deputy from time to time."
Leo said with a headache: "Do they disappear suddenly and frequently?"
Amuruo said: "Who knows."
Leo believed that the teacher must know, but since the teacher refused to say, he could only stop asking.
Amuruo hung up the call and hurriedly covered up for Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang.
Leo said weakly, "Perella, will they hug us and cry again when they come back?"
"Lang never cried, only the wind cried." Perilla shook her head. "That's impossible, isn't it? We've all died tragically once, how could we die tragically in different ways?"
Leo laughed: "That's true."
He glanced down at the sleeping Jim. "Lana appeared before Jim, but Jim acted as if he didn't see her. The other dwarves also didn't seem to recognize Lana."
He shuddered at the thought of that scene.
He asked Jim if he had a daughter, but Jim denied it.
None of the members of the dwarven caravan knew Lana. It was as if something had erased her from their memory.
The Dwarf King has sent people to Jim's hometown. Everyone there remembers Lana.
Jim and Lana's families are still looking forward to their return.
The monsters haven't invaded there yet. Isn't that a blessing in disguise?
Leo couldn't figure out what these monsters were trying to do.
The monster's purpose didn't seem to be to kill more people, nor was it very cautious in taking the dwarf's place.
Lana has appeared, and it is obvious that the monster's conspiracy has failed, but the monster has no intention of retreating.
Do monsters lack self-awareness? Are they simply being manipulated? Have those who manipulate them abandoned them?
So why not just make them "disappear" so the evidence disappears?
The people behind them don't seem to care at all about their conspiracy being exposed or about them being captured and studied.
This series of actions made Leo feel arrogant and superior.
Is this even possible? Not to mention how powerful the teacher is, he and Pereira also have the blessing of the two suns behind them.
Leo took a deep breath and said to Pereira, "Don't panic. Do what we can."
Pereira complained: "You always tell us to do what we can do."
Leo smiled and said, "Because it's the only way."
Perilla curled her lips and nodded sullenly.
