Chapter 195: Speculations about Dreaming

Previously, Amber Xiu believed that the dream barrier was the wonder of the Green Dream Forest.

Maintaining such a huge magic barrier must have consumed a lot of resources. It was entirely because of Ryan's actions that the druids chose this costly and time-consuming operation.

But when Amber heard that the dream-entering ceremony also covered the entire Cuimeng Forest, he had a guess.

The dream barrier should be a modification of the dream ritual.

The reason is simple: it saves trouble, money and manpower.

The dream-entering ritual requires a pre-password, which is probably the druids' unique prayer code. After reciting it and falling asleep, one can enter a natural dream.

The dream barrier makes you fall asleep as soon as you enter its range.

Let's break it down and look at it separately. The sleeping effect and the dream are two different parts. The dream barrier forcibly drags people into the dream, but prevents outsiders from entering the natural dream.

Amber felt that there was a good chance that his guess was correct, but it needed to be verified.

First of all, he needs an environment that allows him to sleep peacefully. Although the Transfiguration does not require him to constantly control it and it will not be automatically lifted when he sleeps, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen after he falls asleep. If the Transfiguration fails, his identity will be exposed.

Secondly, if you want to verify it, you have to get the druids' dream prayers.

You can't trick Sares into telling you this, or else it might arouse his vigilance and lead to an accident.

Amber Xiu could only pray in his heart: "Catherine, please give me some strength and dig out this secret for me."

On the other side of the dense forest, Naomi sneaked in the night and soon returned to Catherine.

As a noble elven queen, she received the highest level of treatment in Cuimeng Youlin.

Amberxiu could only live in a wooden house, while Catherine lived in a castle made entirely of trees. It was custom-made for her on the spot by the great druids. While building the house, they asked Catherine about her preferences, for fear of neglecting her.

It's not the druids' fault for treating her differently. The elves and the druids have always had a good relationship and can be considered allies for a thousand years. Catherine is the queen of elves and has irresistible charm, so this treatment is not an exaggeration at all.

Moreover, Catherine did not have to force the druids to withdraw their surveillance like Amber did. The druids did not dare to send anyone to monitor, for fear of making the elven queen dissatisfied.

Therefore, when Naomi came back, she did not alarm anyone. The druids only knew that the Elf Queen's contracted partner had run away and did not care at all.

It is normal for a ranger to let his beast companion take care of the hunting while he goes hunting on his own.

As soon as Naomi returned to the exquisite wooden castle, Catherine couldn't wait to ask: "Did you see that guy? Did he have any instructions?"

Naomi looked at the Elf Queen and thought that if others heard this, they would probably faint from fright.

"The master said that he hopes you will continue to inquire about the details of the dream ceremony, and also to promote a three-party meeting..." Naomi repeated all of Amber's orders without missing a single word.

Catherine was shocked when she heard this.

"A three-party meeting? Didn't he go to the sea to look for the artifact? How did he suddenly become the envoy of the Kingdom of Raging Tide?"

Naomi shook her head and said, "The master didn't explain it in detail, so I'm not sure. But he has the princess of the Angry Tide Kingdom as his bodyguard, so the master's status in the Angry Tide Kingdom should be quite high."

"And you have a princess as your bodyguard?!"

Catherine's eyes widened. Isn't this lich too outrageous? Why is it that no matter where he goes, power, status, money and beautiful women are all available to him? This is too unreasonable.

The religious lunatics in Ryan had to give him money and kneel down to him, and the battle maniacs in the Kingdom of Rage had to send their princess to be his bodyguard. It was too outrageous, so outrageous that even a drunk bard couldn't make up such a story.

Catherine could only comfort herself by saying that her decision to follow Amber Xiu out for training was the right one. In just a few days, she had gained more experience than in the past hundred years.

It turns out that this is how power struggles are played, it turns out that wealth can be defrauded in this way, it turns out that human hearts are so complicated yet easily manipulated.

Since Amber asked her to continue to inquire about the details of the dream ceremony, Catherine had no choice but to do so.

"But how can I find out? These are all druids' secrets. Even if I ask, they won't tell me, right?" Catherine said helplessly.

Naomi said, "Sister Catherine, you think too much. As long as you ask, there is no secret that cannot be revealed."

This is absolutely true. A certain great druid is pursuing Catherine madly and has reached a state of obsession. Catherine has to stay indoors for the past two days to avoid being harassed by him.

As long as Catherine opens her mouth, no secret is a secret anymore.

But Catherine was unwilling to do so.

The last time the paladin helped Amberxiu to deceive Ryan, although she felt that acting was exciting at first, she later thought about it carefully and realized that she was using the reputation of the elves to work for Amberxiu. If Amberxiu had not restored her reputation in the end, the impact would have been huge if the news got out.

The once naive queen has now begun to think from the overall perspective. She can help Amberxiu to get information, but she must never use deception, because she now represents the entire elf race.

No matter when, the elves are above everything else in Catherine's heart.

It would definitely not work to use seduction to obtain information, as this would definitely bring shame to the elves. We must think of other ways to obtain relevant information.

What should she do? If the lich was in her position, what would he do? Catherine began to imagine Amber Xiu in her mind, and she carefully recalled every moment she had spent with him, especially the words Amber Xiu used to deceive others. She only regretted not copying them down and memorizing them in full.

Seeing how miserable Catherine was, Naomi also started to help think about it, but the two girls couldn't come up with any solution until dawn.

And there was another knock on the door.

"I have brought the most beautiful flowers and the sweetest honey from the Emerald Dream Forest to you, my beloved goddess!"

A passionate voice came from outside the castle. It was from the archdruid who was madly pursuing Catherine - Brandir Sandar, a legendary druid who was only 38 years old.

Naomi stuck her head out of the window and looked downstairs.

The tall, handsome blond man was standing there holding a bouquet of flowers, and when he saw Naomi he gave her his brightest smile.

Judging from his appearance, he was indeed a very attractive man. In terms of status, the Archdruid of the Emerald Dream Forest could be considered one of the rulers of the kingdom, which was also prominent. In terms of personal ability, to become a legend at the age of 38, he was naturally a true genius, one of the most outstanding in the nine kingdoms.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

However, Naomi felt that he was not worthy of Katherine.

A man captured by Catherine's charm has completely lost himself. He is like a slave and cannot stand beside Catherine as an equal. How can he become Catherine's husband?

But the great druid did not think so. He fell deeply in love with the Elf Queen at the first sight of Catherine. How could there be such a perfect person in the world? It was a kind of shocking beauty that kept Brandir awake all night.

However, this crazy look frightened Catherine. In the past, there were other elves in Silvermoon High Court to help her fend off these crazy suitors. But now she was in Emerald Dream Grove, the territory of the druids, so she could only find a way to solve it by herself.

Since the first refusal didn’t work, Catherine could only shut herself up and refuse him.

Even though he hadn't seen Catherine for two days, Brandir's feeling not only did not subside, but became stronger and stronger.

Brandir had sworn to the Oakfather that he would never marry anyone except Catherine in his life, and he would win the love of the Elf Queen at any cost.

Giving gifts is nothing. If Catherine wants, she can even take his life.

The other archdruids felt that this was inappropriate and too rude, but since they were of equal status, it was difficult for others to stop Brandir. Besides, if he succeeded in his pursuit, it would be a good thing for Emerald Dream Grove.

Therefore, many druids secretly helped, wanting to find out about Catherine's hobbies, perhaps leading to a good story.

With the support of his fellow tribesmen, Brandir worked even harder. He gave different gifts for morning, noon and evening. He also consulted many people for advice, wrote love poems and had birds deliver them, and composed love songs and sang them loudly downstairs.

He was not afraid of being embarrassed or being laughed at by others. There was only Catherine in his eyes.

Naomi sighed and jumped out of the window, landing in front of Brandir.

Brandir quickly took out two pieces of fragrant dried meat and placed them in front of Naomi, and asked carefully: "My dear child, how is your master feeling today? Would you like to see me?"

While speaking, Brandir also cast a spell to talk to animals, but it was in vain because Naomi was not a real leopard.

Naomi bit the jerky and swallowed it in two or three bites. Suddenly, she felt comfortable all over her body. This is specially processed jerky, rich in natural energy, which is good for the body. These two pieces of jerky alone can be sold for 100,000 gold coins. This great druid really spent a lot of money to please Catherine.

After eating the jerky, Naomi shook her head at Brandir, indicating that since Catherine still didn't want to see him today, it was not in vain that she ate his food.

Brandi showed a disappointed expression at once, but he quickly cheered up and continued to ask: "What kind of man does your master like? I promise I can change him into exactly the same man."

Naomi's mind flashed with the skeleton image of Ambersau. If this druid knew that Catherine was working for a lich and was paid for it, she wondered if he would have a mental breakdown.

But just as she was about to turn around and leave, Naomi suddenly had an idea.

She stretched out her claws and wrote a sentence on the ground: "My master has been disturbed by you recently and has been sleeping uneasily at night. Do you have any way to make her have a good dream? If you can help my master have a good rest, I will say something good for you!"

Although they didn't understand why the leopard wanted to write, and they, the druids, were not unable to understand the language of animals, it didn't matter. This was the first time Brandir saw the light.

"Wait a moment, I'll get ready and make sure Catherine has a sweet dream."

Having said this, Brandir turned and ran.

Naomi looked at the other person's back and smiled.

It was not convenient for Catherine to lure Brandir into revealing the secret, but her "beast companion" did not have this worry. As a pet, it was reasonable for her to care about the health of her master. As for whether she accidentally found out the druid's secret, it had nothing to do with her. What bad intentions could a little leopard have? I wonder how much of her master's skills she has learned from this trick?
