Chapter 580 The World of Fairy Tales
"If we simply judge by the timing of the pocket watch, the speed of time here seems to be not much different from the speed of real time."
Staring at the pocket watch in his hand with pink eyes, Avis was silent for a moment and put the watch away again.
"…Um, Mr. Anvis, have you finished your work?"
At this time, Emily, who was standing by, saw that Avis seemed to have finished the ceremony and no longer paid attention to her, so she quickly spoke up to remind him of his existence.
She was well aware of the dangers of the deep dream world, and precisely because she knew so much, she was even more afraid.
"It's over for now. You can go back now."
Anvis nodded, but before the girl could be happy, his tone changed immediately.
"However, I will continue to rely on your power in the future. If there are no abnormalities in the flow of time in this dream world, I will summon you once every seven days or so."
"Seven, seven days? I see..."
After hearing what Avis said, the girl almost couldn't swallow the breath that rose in her throat, and her whole body darkened visibly.
She instinctively repeated Avis' words, but from her discouraged tone, it seemed as if Avis was not talking about the time interval for help, but the countdown of only seven days left for her life.
"A suicide note... that's not necessary. I will try to summon you during the safe period. Just eat more good food. And after this matter is over, I will also increase your monthly gold coin and resource quota."
After reading the girl's superficial consciousness, Avis felt somewhat ashamed.
Indeed, although it is theoretically safe now, Emily is still taking considerable risks, so it is understandable that she complains a little.
After seeing Emily off, Avis looked at his pocket watch, which showed less than three minutes left, and then slowly looked at the surrounding room environment.
A minute and a half later, Avis finished his search and stood in front of the small door with the key.
He had already searched the room at the bottom of the rabbit hole, but unfortunately, apart from some leaves on the ground, all the other items were intangible and would disappear in his hands even if he took them.
As the key was inserted into the lock, the small door in front opened silently. Light golden sunlight overflowed from the gap in the door, making Avis' pink eyes sparkle in the dark.
Behind the open door is a world that only exists in dreams and fairy tales.
There are colorful mushrooms bigger than houses, little fairies dancing on colorful flowers, and all kinds of small animals wearing formal clothes walking on the streets paved with tiny bluestones like humans.
Looking at these strange little animals, Avis swept his eyes over their bodies, trying to analyze them.
But due to the interference of dream rules, he did not obtain any valuable information.
"Mr. Robert, what are you doing standing there? The Duchess is looking for you!"
At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from beside me.
Avis turned his head and found that a lizard in a maid's uniform had come to his side without him noticing.
"You're...Bill?"
A certain memory that seemed real emerged in Avis' mind. This was the memory of the White Rabbit identity that Avis replaced. The White Rabbit's name was White Lobet, and the little lizard named Bill was his servant, and also the Duchess's servant.
As for why it can hold two positions at the same time, no one has questioned its rationality. Anvis did not delve into it because fairy tales are an irrational world.
"...I understand. I will deliver the golden pepper that the Duchess needs as soon as possible."
According to some information in his memory, Avis nodded, and the little lizard Bill ran away on his own, as if he had other work to do.
“What a strange world.”
Looking at its receding back, Avis searched his pockets but found nothing.
Then, this so-called "golden pepper" should be the next mission target.
According to Lobet's memory, he needed to change his clothes before meeting the Duchess. So he now needed to find the White Rabbit's home, and the next quest item should be there.
Avis glanced at his pocket watch and saw that it was still fifteen minutes before twelve o'clock.
Time was running out, so he immediately started looking for the exquisite cottage with the shining brass house number plate according to his memory.
Along the way, the other small animals looked at Lobet who suddenly ran by in confusion, wondering what had gone wrong with him.
Since he was not familiar with the terrain, and the area of this fairy-tale city was larger than Avis had expected, it took him about ten minutes to finally find the White Rabbit's house.
But when he was about to enter the room to get the mission item, he suddenly noticed several strange beings nearby who were staring at him furtively.
Their appearance is no different from the residents of the city, namely a mouse, a frog, a parrot and a duck, and they are all wearing different clothes.
What caught Avis' attention was the illusory glowing panel floating in front of them.
Oh my goodness, there are players here too? Avis glanced at the four players calmly, and did not take the initiative to expose them. He just opened the door with his key and walked in.
Just as Avis expected, when he made this move, several players who were watching this side took action.
"The target of the mission seems to have returned. He doesn't seem to pose any threat. What should we do? Infiltrate or use the Wushuang?"
The arrogant and domineering parrot spoke first. It stared at the open door, looking eager to try.
“Indeed, that rabbit only looks level 10, but if you really run over and chop it, it might directly trigger some kind of rule-based defense mechanism here.
Have you forgotten the rating of this special mission, Ba Shi? If you want to die, please don't take us with you. Don't you realize that we have come all this way and haven't even seen a single battle?"
The frog glanced at the parrot with disdain and began to impart his gaming experience to the three people.
"According to my judgment, there should be some special rules here, and if we don't want to die again, we must find a way to get through this secret realm. But at our current level, it is almost impossible to do this.
The system will not assign us missions that will result in certain death, so I can conclude that the key to this mission must lie with these NPCs, and we need to choose a camp to join."
"I think Mr. Gua is right. The dangers in S-rank missions are simply beyond our ability to handle. The use of force is of little use. We must outsmart them."
After hearing what the frog said, the duck also expressed his agreement.
"Hmph, whatever. I hope you don't think too much about it."
Kuang Ba Ao Shi snorted, agreeing with the frog player 'Teacher Gua's' judgment.
"Look, the rabbit is out again, and it seems to have changed its clothes."
At this moment, the mouse, which had been silent before, suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of the other three players.
At this time, Avis had changed his clothes and found the golden pepper he needed. They were placed in a box made of gold, and the appearance also looked like gold powder.
