Chapter 721 Calendar
In Buserit's fictional world, Dorothy, dressed in a long robe, was pacing slowly and anxiously in an endless desert. Not far from her, Vanya, who also looked nervous, was sitting cross-legged on the sand.
"Miss Bachelor...what's the situation now? Was the attempt you just made...successful?" Vanya asked Dorothy with a tone of doubt and uneasiness, and Dorothy answered slowly after a slight pause.
"I don't know. The thieves have already taken action, but it is still unknown whether it will be effective. We cannot confirm the current situation in the world." Dorothy said this with a serious expression. Just now, she asked Neve to contact Nunot who was far away in Pritt, and summon and guide the power of Hafdal by removing the protection of the golden scepter.
Now the protection of the golden scepter has been lifted, and there is nothing unusual about Neveu herself. I just don't know if Hafdal's power has been successfully drawn over.
Dorothy now has no means to effectively observe Yunina's position in the present world, so she has no idea what is happening over there. Although she does not expect Hafdal to be able to deal with Yunina, she should at least know the situation.
Now that Yunina continues to erode the virtual world, the barrier connecting the virtual world and the real world has become much weaker. Dorothy could actually try to use the spiritual thread to extend out to explore the situation, but because Yunina's dominance in the "cup" field is too strong, Dorothy is worried that after the spiritual thread containing the "cup" is extended out, it will be discovered by Yunina and eventually cause backlash, so she has not tried it.
"Do you... want to know the current situation in the world?" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from Evie's iron coffin placed aside. Hearing this voice, Dorothy couldn't help but paused slightly, then turned her head and looked at the heavy iron coffin and asked.
"Ms. Evi, do you have some means of observing the present world?"
"That's about right... My ship is equipped with a large number of various sensor devices, some of which can be remotely connected to me. When I was first sent to this inner world, I lost contact with my sensor devices, but after that traitor invaded this place, I began to be able to barely sense the existence of the sensor devices. Now I can try to connect to the sensor I still have on the ship and let it project the situation outside..."
The iron coffin, which was the core of Evie's mind, said so. Hearing her words, Dorothy couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
'Yes, Evie's ship is still in the real world. The mind core of an extraordinary warship must have a wireless connection with the sensors on its own ship... After the boundary between virtual history and the real world blurred, it is normal for her to reconnect to the sensors on the ship.
"The extraordinary technology used to build Evie is mainly based on 'lamp' and 'stone'. At most, there will be a little bit of 'silence' or 'awakening' technology retained by the church or the craftsmen's guild. It has nothing to do with the 'cup'. Letting her perceive the present world is much safer than me using spiritual silk...
'But then again, Evi was able to connect to her own sensors, which proves that the ship she left in the real world was not completely destroyed. Did Yunina leave it there on purpose? Or did Yunina not have the time to take care of Evi's ship for the time being? Is Hafdar so strong? Can he fight Yunina so hard that she can't pay attention to it for the time being?'
Dorothy thought this in her heart. After these thoughts flashed through her mind, Dorothy turned her attention back to the scene. She spoke to Evie in a low voice.
"Then I'll trouble you for a moment."
"Wait a moment..." After responding softly, Evie fell silent. After a few seconds, she spoke with some disbelief.
"This... these are... what is going on!" Evie's tone revealed obvious astonishment. After hearing Evie's reaction, Dorothy couldn't help but frowned slightly, and then spoke without saying a word.
"What happened? What happened outside?"
"This... you can see for yourselves." Evey said so, and then the gems inlaid on the edge of her iron coffin emitted bursts of light, and a series of illusory three-dimensional projection images appeared around Evey. Dorothy was finally able to see what was happening in the real world at this time. When she took a closer look, she couldn't help but froze in place.
"This is……"
From the illusory projection, Dorothy could see that the land of flesh and blood was boundless, with countless deformed life forms bred from it spreading endlessly. Giant red wolves, swarms of flies, and rolling fungal mist constantly appeared in the flesh of the machine. In the sky, a huge water snake extended from the clouds and attacked in the same direction as the countless deformed life forms on the earth.
At their target, a huge illusory mausoleum appeared in the air. Inside the mausoleum, several figures of various shapes were manipulating different forces to fight back against the enemies that were invading from all directions. The extremely cold beams of light froze the water snakes in the sky, the vicious curses killed the deformed red wolves, the revived gale blew away the flying insects and plagues... The dead in the mausoleum were releasing their power, bringing destruction to the land of flesh and blood dominated by Yunina. The vast tracts of living and deformed land were withering without being cleansed by these forces.
'These... are the powers that Miss Dorothea asked Miss Nefnis to guide? How could... they be so powerful? These people... these dead people are..." Seeing the projected image in front of her, Vanya on the side could not help but stand there in shock and thought in her heart, while Evie on the other side also spoke with a surprised tone.
"This is... the power attracted by your so-called 'thief'? This spirituality... this ability... this attire, could they be the Undead Lords in the Northern Wu legend? What is the identity of your 'thief'? He was able to attract four Undead Lords in one go. Rumor has it that they are all at the gold level!"
Evie said in surprise, but Dorothy didn't respond after hearing her words. Instead, she stared at the projected image in front of her silently.
'Hafdal is here... and not only him, but the other three undead, could it be that they are also undead monarchs like Hafdal, the wise kings of the former First Dynasty! ?
'The dead of the First Dynasty who turned into undead gathered here. Among them, only Hafdar had a grudge against Neveu, so they couldn't be here to find Neveu... The only reason they came here was for the virtual world and the holy land of the First Dynasty! Does Heopiris... also have some kind of defense mechanism?'
Looking at the scene in front of her, Dorothy couldn't help but think in her heart that although the simultaneous appearance of the four great undead lords surprised her, but if she thought about it carefully, she felt that their appearance here now was completely reasonable. After all, Yunina was taking away the divinity of the Judge of Heaven.
"Now these four Undead Lords are fighting Yunina vigorously. I wonder if this will be our chance. As long as Yunina can relax her erosion of the virtual history world, we can find a way to escape from here. The farther we run, the better..."
Dorothy thought to herself that she didn't want to contact or care about the two parties fighting outside at this moment. Now Dorothy's idea was to find a way to run away quickly, the farther the better.
Dorothy could not participate in a battle of this level. Even if she could, she didn't know who to help. There was no need to say much about Yunina. In fact, Dorothy herself didn't dare to have any contact with those undead pharaohs. Not to mention that there was a Hafdar among them. In a sense, the purpose of Dorothy's trip was to covet the legacy of the Judge of Heaven. God knew what attitude these pharaohs would have towards her.
Therefore, Dorothy's hope now is that the two sides can fight to a draw, and then she will have the opportunity to escape. Considering the situation before the mask, this is not impossible.
Just as Dorothy was watching the battle situation on the Pharaoh's position in the projection and thinking about how to escape, one of the four Pharaohs, a female Pharaoh wearing a veil and a robe, a typical feminine attire, suddenly raised her head. Her eyes hidden under the veil seemed to meet Dorothy's gaze directly at this moment. Seeing this scene, Dorothy couldn't help but be stunned.
"That female pharaoh...did she see me? Was it my imagination?"
Seeing the current scene, Dorothy couldn't help but think in amazement in her heart, until she saw the female pharaoh slowly raise her bandaged arm, raise her fingers, and draw in the void.
This drawing did not leave any trace in the air, but Dorothy could tell from the other party's specific gestures what she was writing. It was a paragraph of characters, the characters of modern Northern Ukrainian.
"Only by allowing the history of the Holy Land to intersect with the present time can we truly resist the invasion of corruption. You can only complete the pilgrimage, otherwise the power of the Divine Master will eventually be taken away..."
Dorothy could tell at a glance what message the female pharaoh was writing and her eyes widened immediately. At this moment, Evie's voice suddenly came.
"The thickness of the barrier...suddenly increased!" As soon as Evey finished speaking, the faces she projected suddenly distorted, and at the same time, Dorothy also sensed the new changes in the virtual world.
The powerful force that had been constantly eroding the world of virtual history quickly retreated. Except for a little retention, most of the remaining force flowed back to the source. When the erosion receded, the barrier between virtual history and the real world became thick again.
Finally, under the barrier of the newly thickened wall, Evie's connection with her own sensors in the real world gradually failed and was disconnected. The image she projected disappeared after a flash. After seeing this scene, Vanya couldn't help but said with some surprise.
"What...what happened?"
"That Yunina... took back most of the divinity that was used to erode this world, which made the distance between this world and the real world even greater. As a result, Sister Evi can't contact her ship again." Dorothy responded with this analysis, and Al also spoke slowly.
"This Miss Bachelor is right. The barrier between realms has been strengthened, so I can no longer sense the hull I left in the present world... But then again, you just mentioned divinity. Was the power that the traitor used to invade this world actually divinity?" Evie's tone was full of obvious surprise, and Dorothy nodded.
"Yes, the only thing that can erode this world is divine power. The current situation is that the four undead monarchs have pushed Yunina into a state of panic, and now they have called back more divine power to deal with it."
"Unina has recalled the divine power used to erode the fictional world. In this case, Miss Bachelor, can you now control this fictional world again? We can escape now!" Vanya said to Dorothy at this time. After listening to Vanya's words, Dorothy silently took out her pseudo-history manuscript.
"Well, it seems so."
After grunting, Dorothy stared at her pseudo-history manuscript, only to see that the countless blood threads that were originally entangled on it had completely disappeared, and she could write on it again.
Being able to control the virtual history again means that Dorothy can escape safely by going back to the virtual past and compressing time. This is what Dorothy wanted to do before but failed.
At this time, Dorothy was finally able to activate the virtual world again and escape from here safely, but she did not do so immediately because the hint written by the female pharaoh was still lingering in her mind.
"Is it only by completing this pilgrimage that I can prevent the sanctuary from being taken away?"
With her brows slightly frowned, Dorothy thought in her heart that although she didn't know how the female pharaoh discovered her existence and why she wanted to convey such a message to her, she knew that there was nothing wrong with what she said. Now that Yunina had taken back most of her divinity, which was obviously intended to use it to fight against the four pharaohs.
Although these four pharaohs are fighting back and forth with Yunina and even have a slight advantage at this stage, once Yunina activates divinity on a large scale to participate in the battle, the outcome will be completely different. Dorothy has seen the power of divinity, not to mention that this is the divinity of a main god like the Mother of Cups. Once these divinities are put into battle, Dorothy believes that the pharaohs will find it difficult to withstand it.
If those pharaohs were defeated, then Heopiris and the divinity of the Judge of Heaven would surely fall into Yunina's hands, and Dorothy's path to promotion to gold would be blocked. Dorothy absolutely did not want things to develop to such an outcome.
"What's wrong? Miss Bachelor, now that you have regained control of this place, shouldn't we escape?" At this moment, Evie, who was placed aside, whispered to Dorothy. After listening to Evie's words, Dorothy paused slightly, and then continued.
"Yes, but before I run away, I want to make some attempts..."
Dorothy said this, and then after she touched Evie's iron coffin, she unfolded the pseudo-history manuscript and wrote on it. After Dorothy picked up the pen, the whole world began to break apart...
…
After regaining control of the virtual world, Dorothy led Vanya, Evie, and Neveu who was coming from afar back to the past of the virtual world, and settled down temporarily at a certain point in the past.
After returning to the past of the virtual history world, Dorothy finally no longer had to worry about whether there was enough time. In the past virtual history time, she could make long-term plans for various things.
After returning to the past of the virtual world, Dorothy appeared and allowed the three of them to reunite with Neveu who was in the process of flying. However, Dorothy did not plan to leave this place of trouble immediately, but began to solve the mystery.
The puzzle that Dorothy solved was exactly how she could enter the sanctuary. Dorothy wanted to find a way to enter Heopiris in the virtual world and complete the task prompted by the female pharaoh.
