Chapter 563: Dream Watching
Conquer the sea, the Mon Carlo Islands.
At night, on the main island of Mon Carlo, bustling lights still illuminate the night scenes everywhere, many streets are bustling, and the services of the city that never sleeps are still going on.
On a deserted street far away from the busy roads, a horse-drawn carriage was moving forward under the dim street lights. The horse's hooves stepped on the solid stone slabs, and with the rhythmic sound of hooves, it drove to its destination, the edge of a small empty square.
"Now, we've arrived. Let this guy sit down by the flower bed over there. I'll enter his dream."
Inside the carriage, the woman who was possessed by the little fox's sleepwalking spoke to Ed beside her, and Ed responded immediately.
"No problem, Miss Fox."
As she spoke, Dorothy urged Lauran, who was sitting on the seat in the carriage, to stand up, open the door of the carriage, and walk down, slowly walking to the seat designated by the little fox and sitting down. From the little fox's previous series of requests, Dorothy had some guesses about her current abilities.
'I remember last year, when this little fox entered other people's dreams, she could only steal their memories, and her sleepwalking was very stiff. Now, she seems to be very skilled and smooth in controlling others' sleepwalking, much better than before. Perhaps this little fox has been promoted in the past six months. It's no wonder. She often hunts in the dream world with Gregor, relying on the dragon territory. The speed of accumulating spiritual power is very fast. As long as there are no obstacles in the ceremony, promotion is inevitable...
'This little fox should be the Chalk of the Dream Eater, Nightmare. It seems that she has the ability to directly hypnotize others in the real world and then invade their dreams without going through the dream world. Now it seems that her ability is limited. It should be within a certain range of the original body, and the target of the dream must be sensed by her. It is also a bit limited...'
Dorothy thought to herself that the little fox had asked Lauran to sit down at a specific location because that location was within the field of vision of the little fox's body, and she needed the target of the dream to be sensed by herself. The little fox could not use the dream puppet to activate her dreaming ability, her consciousness had to retreat to her body, and then activate the ability from her body.
Although Dorothy successfully implanted the puppet mark on Lauran, she was concerned that Edward was still a "cup" and therefore she never dared to directly play puppet in front of him. When she met Edward in the Lauran area, she did not activate the puppet mark to obtain information. Instead, she waited for Lauran to fall asleep and used the puppet mark to control him to walk out of the security area and come to the little fox's body. She used the little fox's ability to enter Lauran's dream to steal his memory and obtain information about Edward from his memory.
"Everyone is in place. I'm going to invade his dream now. Please wait here for a moment."
This is what the woman controlled by the little fox said after seeing Lauran doing it, and Dorothy also let Ed speak at the right time.
"Ms. Fox, if possible, I would like to know the scene in Lauran's dream more clearly."
"You want to know what's happening in his dream... That's not possible. I can't bring you into his dream. I'm the only one who can enter his dream. You just stay outside and wait for me to come back." The little fox responded to Ed directly, and then Ed continued to answer with a smile.
"Actually... I don't need to enter the dream with you. I can know what you saw in his dream by acquiring your senses..."
"What... Is it possible to have such a magical ability to obtain my senses in my dreams? Will it be dangerous to do so..." After listening to Ed's words, the little fox responded with a hint of worry, while Ed spoke without hesitation.
"There will be no danger. You just need to pray to Aka before you fall asleep. Through Aka, I will see what you see. Do you remember how to pray to Aka?"
"Is it all about praying to Aka? It turns out Aka has such ability... Well, I'll try it later," the woman who was possessed by the little fox murmured thoughtfully after listening to Ed's words. Then she leaned back on the chair in the carriage, closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after. Dorothy knew that the little fox's consciousness had withdrawn from the woman's dream and ended her sleepwalking state.
Around the small square, on the roof of a small building, the little fox Sarah, who was wearing a hooded cloak to cover her body, slowly opened her eyes, and then a black cat who was waiting beside her hurriedly walked in front of her. The little fox wanted to say something to the black cat, but the black cat kept shaking his head, asking her not to talk to him, and then looked at Lauran who was sitting below, signaling the little fox to do it immediately.
Seeing the black cat's statement, the little fox closed her mouth and stopped talking. She then looked at Lauran who was sitting in the distance, ready to pray before invading the dream world. However, she hesitated for a moment before praying.
'That Aka praying... won't there be any risk... No, it shouldn't be. The black dog prayed so many times, and nothing happened to him... The safety should be guaranteed...
"In this endless world... the great Akka who records everything..."
While praying, the little fox activated her own abilities. She stared at Lauran who was sitting alone in the dark dozens of meters away. Her own consciousness dispersed and invaded the dream of the sleeping person. Dorothy also began to obtain all the perceptions of the little fox, including those in the dream, through the consultation channel that had just been established.
Through the consultation channel, Dorothy observed that the little fox, who had fallen asleep again, began to enter Lauran's dream. After a burst of brilliant and strange color changes, the surrounding environment gradually stabilized. At this time, what appeared in front of Dorothy and the little fox was a scene on the city wall.
Equipped with countless artillery, on the thick and sturdy city walls, Moncarlo's double-blade and fork flag, which evolved from the pirate flag, was fluttering in the wind. Countless city guards were walking back and forth on the city walls. On one side of the city wall was the vast sea, and on the other side was the tall Junhai Fort. Lauran was standing on the top of the wall at this time, looking at the distant sea with a telescope.
In the form of a little white fox, Shachenya appeared on the floor of the city wall. After glancing around at the dream scenes, she found Laulan who was standing not far away. Then the little fox jumped onto the parapet of the city wall without hesitation and stood in front of Laulan's telescope. Seeing this, Laulan in the dream put down the telescope, looked at the little fox in front of her and said.
"What a lovely fox! Its fur is so beautiful. If I peel its skin and give it to my father, he will definitely be very happy." As he spoke, Lauran seemed ready to take action, and the little fox spoke up immediately.
"Hey hey...just stand still, I'm here to ask you something."
"Ah... foxes can talk and ask questions? Interesting... Tell me, what do you want to ask?" Lauran said slowly, standing in place and putting down the telescope, and the little fox also got straight to the point.
"Does Edward Gibbs have some powerful detection method that can even find Red Shadow-level Beyonders?"
"Yes, my brothers and sisters and I have heard the legend of my father since we were young. According to the legend, my father collected many magical treasures during his adventures on the sea, including a basin from a foggy island. My father can use this basin to find some bad people around him. It is said that he once used it to find and expel a powerful assassin. As long as my father is willing to look for him, there is no existence on the island of Mon Carlo that can escape his eyes."
Facing the little fox's question, Lauran answered with a calm expression. Hearing Lauran's words, the little fox couldn't help but perk up, and then continued to speak.
"So what does this magical basin look like? Where is it hidden now? How can it be used?"
"have no idea."
"Ah? You don't know anything? You must know one of the three questions." After listening to Lauran's answer, the little fox continued to speak with a frown, while Lauran's answer was as calm as ever.
"I don't know. I don't know anything. When I was born, my father had already settled in Mon Carlo for many years. His deeds during his pirate years are mostly legends to us. My father does have a treasure house where he stored his adventure treasures, but only he knows where it is and only he can open it. We, his children, can only occasionally get some of the rewards."
"Hmm... I don't know..."
Hearing Lauran's extremely indifferent answer, the little fox couldn't help but reveal a trace of distress on her face. Then, after thinking for a while, she changed a few questions to ask Lauran, such as asking if anyone else knew where Edward's treasure was. However, the answer she got was still the same: no one knew anything. It seemed that Edward kept his core secrets to death, and even his most beloved offspring had no idea.
"What should I do... This old pirate even hid his own son from me... How can I find out information about him..."
The little fox said distressedly while sitting on the battlement of the city wall, and at this moment, Ed's voice suddenly sounded in her heart.
