Chapter 221: Waking Up from a Dream (Part 1)
Unlike the new look it had shown when Avis first saw it, the painting now looked incredibly old.
He waved his hand to take down the painting on the wall, and after confirming that there was no problem, Avis put it into the ring.
When an abnormal element is formed, it will be separated from the entire abnormal area and become an independent entity. Only then can it be taken away from the abnormal area.
He was not sure whether this abnormal element was newly created or had existed for a long time.
However, judging by the vague attraction that came from the picture when he came last time, the real situation is probably the latter.
"Your courage is commendable—"
On the other side, looking at the girl who was standing in front of the fireplace without hesitation, Joem also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Even if he did not actually release the pressure, but just casually condensed a wisp of magic sword energy, the pressure was definitely not something that a low-level professional could withstand.
But the girl in front of him, who was not even a formal professional, was able to bravely stand in front of him even though her body was trembling.
Regardless of her qualifications, she is a good candidate for a knight with her iron will! After receiving Anvis's order, Joum dispersed his sword energy and nodded approvingly to the girl.
When Joem dissipated the sword energy, the black-haired girl in the fireplace also came out, but still hid her body behind the half-elf girl. She gently hugged one of Xia Ye Yinghuo's arms and only dared to stick out her little head to look at the two of them.
It feels cool and light, as if it has no body temperature.
This is the moment when she hugs me, the feeling of fireflies on a summer night.
At the same time, on the panel floating next to the girl player, in addition to [stiffness], [trembling], and the constant consumption of endurance, the health value on it suddenly dropped.
Rona also noticed that her touch seemed to have a negative impact on Xia Ye Yinghuo, so she hurriedly and somewhat helplessly let go of her.
"Uh... Rona, are you really..."
Noticing this, Xia Ye Yinghuo was slightly stunned, then turned his head in shock.
"I……"
Looking at the half-elf girl's disbelieving eyes, Rona took a step back as if she had been electrocuted, lowered her head, and her expression was a little gloomy.
"Feel sorry……"
At this time, Avis also turned his head and looked over. Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and spoke with great interest.
"Miss Traveler, I have to remind you that the companion you mentioned is actually the most dangerous part of this abnormal phenomenon - the strange activities."
"When it touches a living person, it will directly take away their vitality. I think you have already felt this touch just now."
"So, you still have time to leave from there now."
At Avis's signal, Joem condensed a sword light again and locked his eyes on the girl who left behind the firefly on the summer night.
After listening to Avis' explanation, Rona's already pale face completely lost all color.
After struggling to look at the fireflies in the summer night with her dark eyes, she slowly took a step to the side and left behind the half-elf girl. She gently closed her eyes, her body trembling a little.
As she moved, the direction that Jom's sword light was locked on also moved away.
Without the summer night fireflies blocking her way, the terrifying sharp pressure fell directly on Rona.
Although she will not really die, she is actually just an ordinary girl. She is afraid of loneliness when she is alone, and she is also afraid of facing death.
But the next moment, the oppressive feeling of facing death suddenly eased.
Rona opened her eyes in disbelief, and what appeared before her was still the trembling back of the half-elf girl.
After hearing what Anvis said, Xia Ye Yinghuo once again withstood the huge pressure from Joem and stood in front of her.
"Even so, will you protect her?"
Avis raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression slightly surprised.
"Rona is my friend, please don't hurt her."
Trying to stand in front of Rona, Xia Yeyinghuo looked at Avis and said seriously.
"interesting."
With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Avis nodded to Joem, who then dispersed the magic sword light again and walked behind Avis.
"If that's the case, then maybe you can really take her away from here."
Glancing at the nervous Xia Ye Yinghuo and Rona who was hiding behind her, and thinking of the conditions of the secret technique, Anvis smiled and threw a specially made magic pattern crystal bottle to the girl.
"I'll give this to you as an early reward for your mission. As for how to get her away from here, I need to prepare some things first."
After temporarily bidding farewell to the surprising Summer Night Firefly and Rona, Anvis took Joem to the Rai Temple in the center of the city.
When he returned to the ruined city, Lai's force field had disappeared without a trace.
It was not until the faint force field fluctuations disappeared that Avis realized that it was not an ordinary force field, but a dream realm with an extremely high power nature.
Similarly, being able to release such power, the seemingly ordinary statue of Rai is naturally not as ordinary as it appears.
When entering the dilapidated Temple of Rai in the center of the town, Anvis saw that the main seat where the statue of Rai was originally placed was now empty, with only a few traces remaining on the rock below.
The original body of the statue that was there has turned into the purple moon in the sky.
And when the incarnation of the divine power that had accumulated for thousands of years was sealed by the Duke, the Lavanlais of the real world was revealed.
The reason why Anvis had not been able to see through the hidden meaning of the painting before was precisely because of the existence of the dream realm of the statue.
In fact, what the residents of Rawanles call the place of protection of Rai and the land blessed by God is truly worthy of their name.
This is because the entire population of the port city of Lavanlais relies on the power of the statue to exist.
Within the range of the statue's power, the residents unknowingly fell into an eternal dream, and as dream creatures, they lived forever in Rai's dream realm, without aging or dying.
However, they only have one month.
Whenever it is the time of Rai's blessing on a full moon night, they would walk out of their houses and let the moonlight set them on fire.
This burning flame will be fueled by their dreams, transforming into a special "light" that will be absorbed by the statue of Rai.
Then, everything in the dream will return to the starting point, and their memories will remain in this month forever.
The only thing left is a small amount of residual product from the burning of dreams - the dust of Amis.
But unlike the irreversible and thorough burning initiated by the high priest, in this cycle of rebirth, not all residents can leave behind dust.
Only those residents who still retain a trace of self and fantasy in these reincarnations can leave behind a little bit of Amis dust in the burning flames.
This is how Amis Dust is produced.
