A layer of fog drifted over the distant sea.
However, there was already a lot of fog in the surroundings, and the new fog did not cause any ripples. It wasn't until a silhouette of a figure appeared in the mist that it attracted everyone's attention.
"There seems to be someone floating over there, is it Lord Ferro?"
"Are you blind? Does that figure look like a man? It's obviously a woman."
"How can there be women in this sea area?"
"Who knows, but her right arm seems a little strange..."
Cindy and several other apprentices exchanged glances while pretending to be surprised.
Their voices reached Reynolds' ears.
"The floating person, the woman, the right arm..." These words poured into his ears, as if turning on a key switch, injecting a cool spring into his originally hazy thinking.
Is it Nausicaa? This question flashed through Reynolds' mind.
Subconsciously, he raised his head and looked at the fog not far away.
Indeed, as others have said, there is a vague outline of black shadow in the mist. She is struggling in the tide of the sea. Sometimes she comes to the surface to breathe, sometimes she is capsized by the waves, like a small boat that is about to fall to the bottom of the sea at any time. Struggling to survive.
Because of the cover of the waves, Reynolds couldn't see the other person's specific face, but the silhouette behind the water curtain was extremely familiar.
It's her, it's her!
"Nausicaa!" Reynolds, who had been in a daze, suddenly stood up and ran toward the fog like crazy, mumbling: "Save her, I want to save her."
The sea submerged Reynolds' legs, and the waves beat on the glowing soul, but they could not stop Reynolds' pace.
He seemed to have seen a shining beacon and ran towards it desperately.
He passed through layers of mist, stepped through the turbulence of one after another, and finally arrived in the mist with all his strength. He saw a hint of the silhouette's true appearance.
Her long brown wavy hair was floating in the water, and her head was drooped so that her face could not be seen clearly, but the soft armor and the curve of her neck lying on the water were all Nausicaa's!
At this time, Reynolds was only about five or six meters away from "Nausicaa".
He slowly approached, feeling more and more excited, one step, two steps, one meter to two meters.
As he got closer, what he didn't notice was that his eyes, which were still a little hazy, began to become clearer. The body of consciousness sunk beneath boundless emotions rises like a morning star, reaching the base of consciousness.
At this moment, Reynolds heard a whisper in his ear: "Okay, do it."
Before Reynolds could realize what was going on, he felt as if there were an extra set of hands on his back.
Then a pure soul power was input from behind, and his eyes instantly turned into pure white, as if he had arrived at the mythical temple. The comfortable feeling filled his entire soul, causing him to close his eyes unconsciously. His consciousness was like a swimming fish, chasing the pure soul power...
And in the real outside world——
Reynolds did not set foot on the sea, and there was no one on the sea. He just closed his eyes, as if falling asleep.
Everything, including the appearance of Nausicaa, is just an illusion, woven by Angel in order to stimulate the dream of Reynolds' sleeping consciousness.
About two minutes later, Nice withdrew his hand and took a long breath: "Okay, his consciousness is back to its original state. If nothing unexpected happens, he should wake up after he wakes up."
Angel stimulated Reynolds with illusions, while Nice channeled Reynolds' soul.
Nis paused, his eyes slightly drooping: "But I suffered a big loss this time. In order to awaken his consciousness, I gave up the power of my soul for more than half a month. This half month of my cultivation was in vain."
That being said, Nice isn't actually very sad inside.
He kept thinking, why did Dudolo let him come? His interpretation was similar to Angel's, and perhaps Dodolo saw an opportunity for him here.
Opportunities also come in different levels.
From Nice's current point of view, many opportunities are of little significance to him, and they are definitely not as good as the Quest world coordinates in the stone tablet.
Tatoloming knew that he was translating the coordinates of the Quest world in the tablet, and suggested that he come here. This may mean that the opportunities here are at least as good as the coordinates of the Quest world.
And this kind of opportunity is probably the kind of opportunity that can affect his life.
What kind of opportunity can reach this level? There was only one thing Nice could think of... something to do with the path to true knowledge.
Although this is just a guess by Nice, it does not hinder his excitement. If the opportunity here really allowed him to find the path to true knowledge, then he would be happy to give up half a lifetime of soul power, not to mention half a month.
While Nice was thinking about it, Reynolds' eyelids not far away began to tremble.
"He seems to be waking up!" The fat apprentice exclaimed.
"If I don't ask you to speak, then don't speak." The purple-robed apprentice said casually.
In the past, the fat apprentice might have argued, but now that there were two official wizards standing in front of him, he didn't dare to say anything and kept his mouth shut.
However, his words made Angel and Nice look at Reynolds.
After Reynolds' eyelids trembled for several seconds, they finally slowly opened.
At first, Reynolds' eyes were still chaotic, and the apprentices around him felt scratched in their hearts. However, the chaotic eyes did not last long, and they became clear after a few seconds.
"Nausicaa, I seemed to have seen Nausicaa just now!" Reynolds stood up and ran towards the sea as soon as his eyes became clear.
But before he even stepped out of the rocky island, he was blocked by Nice.
Nice smiled and said: "You just had a dream."
Is it a dream? Reynolds' expression was stunned, and his eyes became dazed again.
If he continues to be in a daze, his emotions will probably take over again. Ness quickly interrupted Reynolds' musings: "Okay, stop thinking about it, aren't you just looking for someone? If you don't tell us the clues, how will we find him?"
After Nice finished speaking, he slapped Reynolds on the head.
Reynolds felt dizzy for a while, but soon his thoughts took over again.
"Looking for someone...yes, I want to find her!"
While Reynolds was mumbling to himself, a clean and clear voice came from behind: "Reynolds, do you still remember me?"
Reynolds was stunned for a moment.
Such a familiar voice.
He couldn't help but turn his head and look behind him.
A man with red hair and golden eyes was standing not far away. Reynolds was guessing the identity of the man, but he saw that the red hair and golden eyes slowly changed.
The red hair turned into blonde, and the golden eyes turned into blue. The slightly flat outline also became deeper.
The appearance has changed, the height has changed, and the temperament has changed from lazy to rigorous. The only thing that remains unchanged is the aristocratic elegance deep in the bones.
"It's Pat... Mr. Pat!" Reynolds exclaimed the name of the person. His expression was a little excited, as if he had thought of something. He rushed to Angel and half-knelt on the ground: "Sir, please Save Nausicaa!"
Reynolds didn't ask why Angel was here. He was now focused on rescuing Nausicaa. Angel and Nausicaa are close friends, and he knows this better than anyone else.
"You get up first. I came here this time to find Nausicaa." Angel summoned a magical hand and pulled Reynolds up.
Then he lightly snapped his fingers, tending towards the real nightmare, and created several tables and chairs around him.
"Sit down and talk."
Several apprentices sat in the back, while Angel and Nice faced Reynolds at a close distance.
"This is the wizard of Nice. You should have seen him before." Angel pointed at Nice.
Reynolds nodded: "Mr. Nice, I have heard of your name. I was a little confused before, and I hope you can forgive me."
Nice waved his hand indifferently: "You just have a small problem with your soul. But remember, try to control your emotions as much as possible. Even if you want to save Nausicaa, you must calm down. The reality is not that you can only rely on passion. , no matter how protagonist you are, you can’t save the beauty.”
Reynolds nodded. Although Nice didn't say it directly, he had some guesses about his previous situation. When you are too excited, you don't get anything done.
"Tell me, what happened. Nausicaa, where is she now?" Angel said.
"I don't know where Nausicaa is... We were chased by the larvae of that monster, and then I seemed to use a weapon... Then I passed out, and when I woke up, I had become The soul wandered above the sea until it met them."
Reynolds spoke slowly, telling everything he still remembered.
After about half an hour, the conversation came to an end.
Angel sorted out the general situation himself, and his guess was indeed correct. Nausicaa did follow Reynolds here in order to transplant her right hand.
And the hand Nausicaa wants to transplant is indeed the hand of Night Butterfly Witch.
The only slight difference is that the reason why Nausicaa chose the Night Butterfly Witch's hand was not only because it was an extraordinary organ, but also because there was something special incorporated into this hand.
These special things were obtained by the laboratory praying to a certain force in the world of Quest through large-scale sacrificial rituals.
Because it was written in the language of Quest's world and was "unmemorable", Reynolds couldn't remember the specific name of this thing. But this "special thing" can play different roles in different extraordinary organs. Reynolds himself once had one, and he used it as a weapon.
Because I can't remember its name, I'll call it "Special Object" for the time being.
It was precisely because Night Butterfly Witch had successfully injected a special substance into her right hand, making it more powerful and irreplaceable, that Nausicaa was willing to take a gamble.
Otherwise, just the prosthesis made by Angel, or the right hand that will replace other monsters in the future, will be enough for Nausicaa, and there is no need to take risks.
Of course, Reynolds didn't take Nausicaa to the secret laboratory for free. He also had his own demands. He was going to find a piece of information, and after getting the information, he needed someone to help him. He finally chose Nausicaa, who was eager for her right hand.
As for what this information is, Reynolds concealed it.
After all, Reynolds once came from that secret laboratory. Under his leadership, he and Nausicaa sneaked into the laboratory during a gap.
After creating several chaos, Reynolds successfully lured away the researchers inside the laboratory.
However, just when they thought they were sure, something unexpected happened.
On the 17th, a mechanism was installed in the organ display chamber. This mechanism was connected to the larvae of a terrifying monster. They were chased by this monster. Although they barely escaped from the laboratory, the monster had already caught up with them.
At the last moment, Reynolds used the weapon.
He didn't remember what happened after that.
However, he also recalled some memory fragments. Among these unrelated memory fragments, he saw Nausicaa being swept away by an ocean current.
What happened after the weapon was used? Where was Nausicaa swept away by the ocean current? And why did he become a soul? Where is his physical body? …Reynolds doesn’t remember any of this.
The above is all Reynolds told.
Angel could tell that Reynolds had concealed some things, such as the information he was looking for and the details of the "unusual object", but regarding Nausicaa, Reynolds was very clear about it. out.
Reynolds wanted to find Nausicaa no less than Angel.
Because for Reynolds, who had been treated as an experiment since childhood, Nausicaa gave him a rare and precious friendship.
"It can be seen from the situation described by Reynolds that Nausicaa was swept away by the ocean current. However, it is still unknown whether this ocean current is a natural ocean current or an artificial ocean current." Angel thought to himself: "However, No matter which one it is, Nausicaa still has a high probability of surviving."
If it is a man-made ocean current, no matter whether the other party has malicious intentions or good intentions, it at least means that the current person who created the ocean current does not want to see Nausicaa die.
On the contrary, natural ocean currents may cause greater harm to Nausicaa. Because this is a restricted area of the Devil's Sea, natural disasters are often linked. If several natural disasters are linked together and Nausicaa cannot withstand it, big problems may really occur.
However, Nausicaa is a wizard apprentice on the blood side after all, and she is also a king who has conquered the sea. She should have enough experience to deal with the natural ocean currents.
Therefore, Angel thinks Nausicaa has a higher chance of survival.
The only question now is, where are the Nausicaäns?
The location of the laboratory is in the deep sea, and Nausicaa was swept away by the ocean currents in the deep sea. It is not easy to find a missing person in the endless sea.
Even if you use the eye of true seeing, it may be useless. After all, what is needed to trace the truth through the Eye of True Sight is traces, and under the sea, the traces have long been washed away.
Searching without clues is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
