Weaving dreams is the specialty of the succubus clan.
This race is not good at weaving nightmares to kill enemies, but is particularly good at weaving beautiful dreams.
Especially for the succubus royal family favored by the Dream Dragon, the beautiful dreams they weave are almost indistinguishable from the real ones, making people sink into them forever.
This is also the reason why Isadella activated Diris, a hidden chess piece that had been hidden for many years.
The silver-haired princess was indeed attracted by Char Eggut's identity and the potential and abilities he demonstrated, but Char's origins were always shrouded in mystery.
Coupled with the possibility that this might be the revival of an ancient figure, Isadela had to examine Char's character.
Otherwise, if a former enemy of the empire became the "Sword Wielder", it would be a lot of fun.
You can lie in verbal questioning. When training secret agents, all countries will focus on strengthening their ability to resist interrogation. As for past background records, they can also be falsified.
Only the mental landscape will not lie. This is an illusory world determined by a person's subconscious mind. It reflects the true and false, and the most real scene in the depths of the soul after peeling off layers of disguise and outer clothing.
...
...
The beautiful dream woven by Diris, the succubus royal family, shows the most perfect world imagined in a person's subconscious mind.
That is to say——
"An idyllic place of isolation"
The greatest happiness that ordinary people in the Western Continent can imagine is probably sleeping in the most luxurious palace in the world, hugging the most beautiful woman in the world, and possessing countless wealth.
Even the fantasies of the powerful are mostly just based on the above, making the content of the dream clearer and the details richer.
For example, replacing the most beautiful girl in the village with a queen riding a magic dragon, and replacing the mountains of gold coins with countless high-level extraordinary materials.
After all, regardless of strength or weakness, the essential desires of human beings are the same.
However, in Char's utopia, Isadella saw a completely different scenery.
Her eyes were fixed on the surface of the blue planet.
The "space elevator" that looks like a towering tower has sent countless platforms full of passengers into deep space.
And at the end of the space elevator, in the dark and deep starry sky, there are magnificent cities one after another.
The whole body is made of silver-white metal. Some are built on satellites orbiting the surface of the planet, while others exist completely independently.
In the dark and deep sea of stars, metal cities are connected into pieces, slowly rotating around the planets.
It is just like the floating city in myths and legends that floats in the distant sky and never falls.
Isadella saw countless people traveling back and forth between the surface of the planet and the space city, either through the "space elevator" or through some kind of spaceship similar to the airship built by the Empire through magical technology, but with far superior performance than the magical airship.
Isadella clearly did not feel any strong fluctuations from these people... they were just ordinary people, or civilians.
But they have long been accustomed to everything in front of them.
It is obvious that in the Western Continent, setting foot on the starry sky is a privilege exclusive to legends. Even a title-level beastmaster needs a specific type of pet to have a chance to do so, and it is extremely risky.
But in this world, the once legendary privileges have become part of the daily life of every ordinary person.
…
"What on earth are you thinking about in your head?"
Diris's pair of pitch-black demon wings flapped abnormally, and his heart-shaped tail hung sluggishly in mid-air.
The succubus princess looked at the brilliant ocean of stars outside the door and was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment.
As a follower of the Dream Dragon, the spiritual energy she consumes when weaving dreams can be provided by the ancient dragon in the astral world who holds the power of fantasy.
Therefore, she was able to materialize such a complex and realistic dream with intricate details.
But even so, Diris was still shocked and had no idea what was going on with Char's brain.
When other people dream they just dream and that’s it, but why do you daydream in such a fancy way?
Xia ignored Diris's complaints.
He just silently and calmly looked at the world outside the door, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
"A civilization with highly developed magical technology, with no distinction in rank."
“Everyone can learn knowledge equally, and there is no need to worry about food, clothing, or poverty.”
"Even ordinary people who are powerless can travel between the stars and explore the world of the sea of stars as they wish..."
"Don't you think it's beautiful?"
Diris also recovered from her shock.
The succubus girl looked at the distant sea of stars for a long time, then nodded gently.
“It’s really beautiful.”
"But it's so beautiful that it's a little too unreal..."
There was a hint of regret in her pink demon eyes.
"If possible, we would also like to open more colleges, lower the threshold for admission, and even distribute books on a large scale."
"Then we will take back the privilege of becoming a beastmaster and entering the supernatural realm, as well as the privilege of learning knowledge, from the very few aristocrats and make it available to more people."
"But, this is just a fantasy after all."
"It takes a huge amount of money to train a beastmaster and open his soul contract..."
"And spreading knowledge to every civilian in the empire... this requires countless resources."
"As for what you fantasize about... a tower that allows mortals to ascend to the sky, and a floating city floating in the sea of stars."
"If we take just one of them, it might be enough to exhaust the treasury accumulation of the empire, or even the major powers in the Western Continent... and it might not even be enough."
Diris's jet-black wings flapped slightly, and a few of them touched Char's arm, causing a slightly itchy sensation.
Insufficient resources.
This is original sin.
Therefore, the protracted war on the Western Continent will never stop, because resources are limited, but ambitions are unlimited.
Every country and every force is eager to develop, but there are only so many resources needed for development, and then conflicts arise.
And this so-called utopia in Char's heart——
After all, it is just an illusory dream, like a rootless duckweed.
But before the Succubus Princess could finish her slightly regretful words, she heard a light laugh coming from beside her.
"So, the root cause and crux of all disputes——"
"It's nothing more than a lack of resources."
Char's voice rang in Diris's ears.
At the same time, it also echoed in the ears of Isadella and Fioren in real time through the communication channels of the star realm.
"But--"
"Many countries and major forces have waged protracted wars, sacrificing countless blood and lives to fight for this energy..."
"In the sea of stars, it is clearly not even a drop in the ocean."
…
The image on the light screen flickered slightly, and the viewing angle became farther away.
The originally azure sphere suddenly became unusually small.
Instead, there was a scarlet sphere emitting flames, occupying most of the space of the light curtain.
Outside the two spheres, there are areas of almost total darkness, with occasional tiny twinkling stars illuminating the deep darkness.
Everyone who watched the dream recognized this dazzling celestial body—
sun.
It’s just different from the scorching sun that Diris and others know.
Outside this scorching celestial body, there is a sphere formed by countless black metal rings, one after another, which wraps it up.
Around the crimson sphere, circles of dazzling flames rose and fell like breathing.
And with every rise and fall, the dark rings would expand and contract.
Then, all the light and heat overflowing from the surface of the sun were swallowed up into it.
In the light curtain in front of Isadella and Fioren, the words that embodied the concept slowly emerged again -
Dyson Sphere
