While Nausicaa quickly recounted her experience, Reynolds stared blankly at everything around him.
He had heard Angel say that he would take him to see Nausicaa. He thought he was taking him through the fog, and finally found Nausicaa in a dark and gloomy place.
But the reality is completely different from what he thought.
He finally reunited with Nausicaa in such a bustling sky street in a dream city that he had never seen before.
He still feels like this is a dream.
One second I was sinking in the bleak darkness, and the next second I was in the bustling city streets. Sharp contrast, strong contrast.
While Reynolds was in a trance, Nausicaä had come to the end of her story, what she had seen from her own perspective.
After finishing speaking, Nausicaa looked at Reynolds: "I always thought Reynolds was dead because he even threw his weapons to me. Fortunately, fortunately, he is fine."
Nausicaa let out a long sigh of relief, with joy in her eyes.
"He may not be fine. His actual situation is... when we met him, he only had his soul left, and his body was nowhere to be found," Nice said.
"Reynolds is a soul now?" Nausicaa was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Reynolds, but the tactile feedback was the same as a normal body.
"This is the Wilderness of Dreams, and his body is built based on the rules here. The same goes for your body, which is not an outside body." Angel naturally saw Nausicaa's confusion.
"In other words, the body in this world is a constructed virtual body of consciousness? As long as it can enter, even the soul can build a corresponding body?"
Angel: "You can understand it this way. It can be said to be your own body, but it is not the body in reality."
Nausicaa frowned in disbelief: "Doesn't that mean that as long as there is consciousness here, it is considered a different kind of immortality?"
"For those who really want to pursue immortality, this place is just a cage." Angel did not answer directly, because he himself did not know whether the residents of the Dream World living here were considered immortal? Moreover, Wilderness of Dreams has not even been around for five years since its birth, so it is not qualified to talk about immortality.
Nausicaa sighed softly: "Yes, immortality represents not only the immortality of life, but also the power to be immune to external interference. But even so, this world is still terrifying... This is the official The world of wizards, I’ve never heard of it before.”
Angel: ...Actually, this has nothing to do with being a formal wizard. Currently, there are only a few official wizards in the Wilderness of Dreams, and most of them are actually mortals.
Do you want to explain it? But if you explain it, it always feels like self-promotion.
"What is the world of official wizards? Don't make random assumptions. This wilderness of dreams is currently only available in our Savage Cave, and it has only been around for a year or two. You are considered an early user." Nice said aside, and he did not explain. , in fact, the Wilderness of Dreams was created by Angel, mainly because Reynolds is here, and Reynolds’ background and position are not yet known.
"Is that so?" Nausicaa was stunned by this information.
"These are all off-topic. I will elaborate with you later when I have the opportunity. Did you just say that Reynolds gave you the weapon?" Angel asked.
The general process of Nausicaa's narration is actually similar to that of Reynolds, but the details are different.
However, when it comes to what happened after they escaped from the laboratory, Nausicaa obviously has more content. Because Reynolds' memory at that time was already chaotic and became fragments that could not be spliced together.
Among them was the weapon that Reynolds spoke of.
Reynolds said before that he used "that weapon" to stop the tracking of the monster larvae left on the 17th. At that time, Angel and Nice wanted to ask about the weapon. Reynolds only remembered that the weapon was usually wrapped around the soul body. As for where the weapon was now, he had no idea.
At that time, they thought that the weapon was in the other half's cut off consciousness, but unexpectedly Nausicaa said that the weapon was in hers.
Nausicaa: "Yes, he threw the weapon to me at the last moment."
Nausicaa briefly explained that at the last moment, after Reynolds used his weapon to push the monster into the abyss, he also entered a collapse period, thinking that he was about to die, so he threw the weapon to the monster that had been swept away. Nausicaa is about to be swept away by the ocean current.
"What is that weapon that can be stored in the soul?" Ness asked curiously. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
"I don't know either. I saw the symbol in the laboratory before, but I forgot about it when I looked back." Nausicaa was also a little confused.
Nice: "That's soul text. It's normal not to remember it. I mean, what is the shape of that weapon and how powerful is it?"
"It's a chain, and its power... is very strong." Nausicaa: "After I drifted to Ghost Shipyard Island, if it hadn't been for this chain, I probably wouldn't have been able to deal with those little ones for a while. However, the cost of using it is quite high. Big, it not only consumes the power of the soul, but also absorbs the magic power from my magic source."
Reynolds wondered: "I remember that when I used it, it only consumed very little energy?"
"Perhaps it's because the owner of the chain is Reynolds. I need to see the specific situation before studying it."
When Nice said this, he fell into deep thought. He had a feeling that this weapon might be the reason why Dudolo asked him to come?
When Nice was silent, Nausicaa looked at Angel with a hint of pleading and urgency in her eyes.
Although Nausicaa didn't say it directly, Angel understood what she meant: "I understand, and I will rush there as soon as possible. The Lenko you are talking about... I also hope that he can survive."
…
Ghost Shipyard Island.
When Nausicaa opened her eyes, she heard whispers around her.
Looking up, I saw several doctors not far away discussing whether to open the window and let others come over to see Lenko for the last time.
The reason why he opened the window instead of the door was because Nausicaa was sitting in front of the door, sleeping. They didn't dare to disturb Nausicaa, so they could only think of home remedies to let people on the ship see Lenko through the windows.
However, they were still hesitant. The windows opened outwards. If they really wanted others to see Lenko from the window, they would have to build a three-story ladder outside. This is quite dangerous, and only one person can do it at a time.
"There's no need to let them go through the window." While they were discussing in a low voice, a hoarse female voice came from behind.
They looked back and saw that Nausicaa had stood up from the ground.
"Lord Asbel, are you awake?" The reason why it was a question was because Nausicaa only slept for more than ten minutes with her eyes closed, which was not even a nap.
"Did our voices disturb you?" The doctors who had just been talking in low voices had apologetic expressions on their faces.
Nausicaa shook her head: "It didn't disturb me. I didn't sleep just now. I just went..."
Halfway through her words, Nausicaa didn't know how to explain it, so she could only change her words: "I closed my eyes to recover, and I'm almost done now."
"Then should we open the door and let them in?" someone suggested.
Nausicaa did not reply immediately, but glanced at the little flea not far away, still running up and down around Lenko. Obviously, the little flea still doesn't want to give up on saving Lenko.
Others also saw Nausicaa's gaze. They were silent for a moment and said, "We just asked the little flea, but he didn't answer."
At first, the little flea was firmly opposed. Now that the little flea has not replied, it has actually explained some problems. Perhaps the little flea also understands that Mr. Lenko is hopeless.
Nausicaa withdrew her gaze and said calmly: "Don't be busy now, wait a moment."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to wait for. But since Nausicaa, the extraordinary person, had spoken, they could not disobey. They nodded and walked aside to tend to the injuries of Birch and Captain Barrow.
Nausicaa walked to the window and looked at the fog floating in the sky outside through the glass, silent.
Time passes slowly.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes... Lenko's face became paler at a speed visible to the naked eye, his lips began to turn black and blue, and his body temperature slowly dropped.
Everyone knew in their hearts that Lenko could not hold on for much longer. They intentionally let others come in to take a last look at Lenko, but since Nausicaa did not speak, they could only look helplessly and sadly at the knight on the hospital bed who was gradually being dragged into the abyss of death.
Until thirty minutes later. The little flea slowly walked up to Nausicaa and said in a low voice: "Let them in?"
Nausicaa didn't look back, still looking out the window.
About half a minute later, Nausicaa's eyes suddenly lit up, she stood up suddenly and opened the window.
Everyone was shocked by her actions and didn't know what happened.
"Here they come. They are here!" Nausicaa looked at the streak of light in the mist, her voice filled with joy.
"Who is here?" When everyone was wondering, they saw a burst of exclamations coming from outside the window. Carefully identify, these sounds should come from the people on the Moonlight Bird.
But why did they make such an exclamation?
When everyone in the room was puzzled, a stream of light suddenly stopped outside the window. The burst of wind made the items inside the window creak.
When the oncoming wind became slightly lighter, they secretly opened their eyes and looked outside.
The so-called flowing light outside is actually a huge monster with eyes that seem to be burning with flames! A body and claws like a lion, a head and wings like an eagle.
Its mane was flowing with firelight, making the surrounding air hot and twisted.
When they were frightened by the monster and retreated, the monster quickly shrank like a deflated balloon, and finally turned into a seemingly harmless bird.
It wasn't until it shrunk that everyone saw that there were several figures behind it.
With a slight leap, they entered the room.
"Lord Byron, Lord Pat, great, you are finally here." Nausicaa greeted the visitor excitedly. Although Nausicaa and Angel can call each other whatever they want on weekdays, Nausicaa still maintains her dignity in front of outsiders.
Angel smiled and nodded to Nausicaa. Although he had seen Nausicaa before in the Wilderness of Dreams, he was truly relieved when he saw her in reality.
However, Nausicaa in reality really surprised Angel.
There were open wounds all over her body, and her clothes were stained with blood, especially her right hand. The prosthetic limb Angel had customized for her at that time was 90% damaged, with only a few metal wires still attached. on top.
This was the first time Angel had seen such miserable Nausicaa. Even the most difficult battle in the Rising Stars Competition was not as good as it was now.
Moreover, Angel also noticed Nausicaa's mental fatigue and the concentration of magic around her.
The injuries were not just external, but also internal.
Angel took out two bottles of medicine from the bracelet. One was a regular medicine bottle filled with milky white liquid; the other was a rather delicate triangular conical medicine bottle with a cork handle made of silver and a string hanging on it. The silver-white metal hanging chain contains light green liquid.
"The white one is the velvet potion, and the light green one is the rhythmless rhyme." Angel handed the two bottles of potion to Nausicaa.
Nausicaa took the rhythmless rhyme, but pushed the velvet potion back to Angel.
"My physical injuries are not serious, so I won't waste it."
Yingrong medicine is used to treat trauma and can speed up the healing of injuries. Rhythm without Rhythm can restore a certain amount of mental damage.
Among them, the velvet potion is quite cheap, while the rhythmless rhyme is very expensive. Nausicaa did not refuse the expensive Rhyme without Rhythm, but instead declined the velvet potion. This shows that she was not being polite to Angel, and she really did not need the velvet potion.
Angel didn't say much, nodded, and put away the velvet potion.
Nausicaa did not take the Rhythm without Rhythm immediately, because taking this kind of mental potion was the most undisturbed, and it was obviously not suitable at this time. After she put away the Rhythm without Rhythm, she brought Angel and others to Lenko.
Because the way Angel and the others appeared was too shocking, even if they put down their momentum, the doctors present did not dare to approach. As they came over, the doctors also retreated and dispersed.
Little Flea was also pushed to the back, but he secretly observed the visitor.
A handsome young man, a stooped old man, and a man with a translucent body floating in the air.
who are they? Are you a friend of Asbel-sama?
While the little flea was thinking secretly, Angel began to examine Lenko in the ice.
From Angel's actions, others also guessed his intentions.
At this time, everyone was silent, and their eyes were shining with expectation. Can the big man respected by Lord Asbelu save Mr. Lenko?
After a while, Angel withdrew his hand that touched the ice. He did not speak immediately, but looked at Nice.
"Wizard of Nice, what do you think of his condition?"
Nice: "The power of the soul is stronger than that of ordinary people. He should be able to condense his soul after death. However, in terms of spiritual power value, it should not reach the standard of a gifted person, but it should be very close. A non-talented person can condense it It’s not easy to leave the soul body.”
Angel: "...I didn't ask him what happened after his death."
Nice shrugged: "Then I have nothing to say."
When everyone heard what Nis said, their hearts suddenly sank. Does this old man mean that only things after death can be discussed, and things before life are hopeless?
A sad atmosphere began to fill the air.
However, the next second, Nice's words quickly wiped away the atmosphere.
"It's so easy to revive him, what's there to talk about? It's better to let him die. After death, he becomes a soul. I might take him back to the Soul Valley. There's really no point in living."
