Chapter 4388 Dreaming of Zhang Ling
Chapter 4388 Dreaming of the Return of the Spirit
Blanche's gaze was completely drawn to the "Wonderland Identity" section, while Kerma's eyes were fixed on the "Wonderland Architecture" section.
After personally experiencing the "travel cabin," he didn't say it outwardly, but deep down he longed to own a building of his own.
This is especially true for a new resident of Dream Crystal Plains.
His future, the rest of his life, will be spent in the Crystal Plains of Dreams.
Although he is currently able to live in the Rabbit Mansion, he is well aware that it is thanks to the mayor and Lord Angel.
He didn't own the place; he was just a temporary resident, and it wasn't his home.
He desperately longed to have a home of his own, a place where he and Wes could find shelter from the wind and rain.
Therefore, when he saw the "travel cabin," his longing was beyond measure.
And now, a fairyland-like building similar to the "Travel Hut" has appeared in the reward list, and his eyes are naturally burning with desire as he stares at the various items in the fairyland building.
As for Uriel, he was just an outsider watching the rewards list, thinking they were all good and wanting them all.
But when his gaze shifted from the "Wonderland Exclusive" option to the "Special Limited" option, his eyes suddenly froze and he couldn't look away.
"Dreaming of Returning Souls: A soul that has already sacrificed itself should have fulfilled its promise to go to the other shore, but its obsession has left some of its memories and consciousness in the remnant soul. It will return to heaven and earth when the 'obsession' ends. But dissipation is not necessarily its only fate. It can anchor the remnant soul through 'dreaming,' reintegrate its internal memories and consciousness, pull it into the Dream Crystal Plains, and reshape a new body. Currently applicable to: Shi En."
……
Angel initially focused on the "Wonderland Exclusive" option, mainly because there were too many options on the list, and he planned to look at them one by one and then make a rough assessment.
However, just as he finished examining the Wonderland props and turned his gaze to the Wonderland architecture, Uriel suddenly tugged at his sleeve.
With a trembling voice, he asked, "A dream...a dream of a spirit returning...what does that mean?"
Uriel's sudden voice not only attracted Angor's attention, but also led the others to follow Uriel's lead and look at the "Special Limited" section.
What are special restrictions?
According to the explanation given by Wonderland Authority, this is a limited option that only appears after perfectly clearing the dungeon.
Furthermore, this option is only relevant to the current instance.
However, it is not necessarily a physical object; it is more of an addition or subtraction from the current copy.
For example:
"Trading Squad: A group of five talented people from the 'Living Dead of the Misty Swamp,' each accompanied by a multi-legged leech. They excel in wilderness survival and trade. You will become their superior. All squad members start with a 60% favorability rating. If the rating falls below 20%, squad members may betray you."
This clearly reflects the caravan that Kemai encountered before.
You can directly bring some of the caravan members out of the instance to create your own unique trading team.
To some extent, the merchant running team can be understood as the reuse of dungeon resources.
Originally, the members of this team were citizens with unique talents created by the powers of the fairy realm.
Their original purpose was to become NPCs in dungeons, constantly refreshing their memories with each restart; until a certain team perfectly clears the dungeon, they will disappear completely.
But now, you can stop their disappearance and bring these ordinary NPCs home to become caravan owners yourself.
This is a special limitation, using the existing elements in the current instance to open up new possibilities for you.
Angor also saw the limited-time reward that Uriel was looking for.
—"Dreaming of a spirit returning."
This is an even more unique option than the merchant caravan.
If Rigota's soul resides within the evil spirit, then where is Sean's soul?
According to the description of the reward, Sean's soul was sacrificed after he inscribed the "Self-Seeking Method".
However, Sean seems to possess a certain obsession, which forcibly retains a portion of his consciousness and memories. However, because these consciousnesses lack a complete soul to rely on, they are scattered among the remnants of his soul.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, these remnant souls will remain on the stone slab.
Once the obsession dissipates, the consciousness and memories attached to the remnant soul will completely disappear.
What is Sean's "obsession"?
Angell speculated that it might be for "revenge" and "witnessing".
Revenge, without a doubt, is revenge against the Forty Thieves.
And witnessing is witnessing Rigota's rebirth.
These two obsessions anchored Sean's remnant soul, but that doesn't mean the remnant soul would only disappear after both obsessions were fulfilled.
It can be understood that Sean's state is like a dangerous balance scale, barely maintaining equilibrium with the remnant soul through his inner obsession.
The moment any obsession disappears, the balance will be broken, and the lingering soul will vanish into nothingness.
Previously.
Sean's remnant soul witnessed the Forty Thieves being killed by Uriel.
Some of his obsession has dissipated, and the balance has been broken; in other words, his remnant soul is about to dissipate.
However, this balance was broken in the Dream Crystal Plains, not in reality, so the power of the Fairy Realm, with its great strength, forcibly opened a new path for Shi En.
Using the memories and consciousness within his remnant soul as the source, he was reborn.
In other words, Sean will remain in Dream Crystal Plains as a "new resident".
When everyone saw this option, they naturally understood Uriel's excitement.
The power of the fairy realm gave a soul that should have perished a chance to be reborn. How could such a great power not excite people?
"You want to choose this reward?" Angell looked at Uriel.
Uriel nodded without hesitation: "Yes!"
Before today, the person Uriel cared about most was Rigota; but after today, there will be another one, Sean.
Father Sean's rescue of Rigota was almost selfless.
He even sacrificed his own soul to spare Rigota's life.
Upon hearing this news today, Uriel felt an overwhelming sense of guilt, because... for the past three years, he had cursed Father Sean almost day and night.
He had cursed an "enemy" for years, but now he discovered that the other party was not a bad person at all, but a pure and kind good person.
Guilt nearly set his heart ablaze; the shame was enough to make him uneasy for the rest of his days.
Although Rigota's death was related to him, it was not his wish.
Moreover, he had already paid for Rigota's life with his own.
Uriel asked himself, if he were in the position of Father Sean, would he have done the same?
The answer is no.
He couldn't be so selfless for someone he'd only met once.
Therefore, when he saw an option that seemed to be able to revive Sean, he almost didn't hesitate and chose "Dream of Returning Spirit" without hesitation.
Uriel's decision is not hard to understand.
In the past, Sean saved Rigota.
Now, Uriel is repaying this kindness to Shien.
Even though he knew that it might still be insufficient in terms of the equivalence of the favor, he at least had to keep Sean around so that there would be more opportunities to repay him in the future.
Angor gave Uriel a deep look, then pointed to another item in the reward list: "Did you see 'Anchored Soul'?"
"Anchoring the Soul: Rigota's soul is trapped in the body of the living dead. If no way to rescue her is found, she may be trapped for a very long time. Perhaps we can find another way and use the power of the Fairy Realm to anchor Rigota's soul, allowing her to be free and reborn in the Dream Crystal Plains."
This is also one of the special limited-time rewards.
However, the reward is aimed directly at Rigota.
The powers of the fairy realm could not break Rigota's seal and rescue her soul, because the seal existed in reality.
However, the powers of the Fairy Realm can take a different approach, directly anchoring Rigota's soul and pulling her into the Dream Crystal Plains, thus allowing Rigota to immediately gain a portion of her freedom.
At least, you can be free in Dream Crystal Plains.
Angor was well aware of Rigota's importance to Uriel, so he suggested the "Anchor Soul" option to make him think it through.
Once he selects "Dreaming of a Returning Spirit," he can no longer select "Anchoring the Living Soul."
Uriel nodded silently. "I saw that option, but I still want to choose 'Dreaming of Returning Spirits'."
Angell: "Why?"
Uriel lowered his eyes: "Even without 'anchoring the soul,' Rigota can still be saved; she still has a chance of survival. But Priest Seymour's only way out is through 'dreaming of the returning spirit.'"
“Although I desperately want to see Rigota immediately, I also know very well that once I choose to ‘anchor a living soul,’ not only will I be unable to live with myself, but Rigota will also be unable to forgive me when she awakens and learns of this.”
Uriel knew Rigota's personality all too well.
Ligota's willingness to perform for various charity events and donate her money to orphanages shows that she is a very kind and sensitive person.
What will Jorigota think of Uriel when she learns of his choice? Perhaps they will continue to live as before, but the rift will always remain in their relationship.
Uriel didn't want this.
With Rigota still having options, Uriel still intends to use this valuable opportunity on Father Sean.
Angell: "No regrets?"
Uriel shook his head: "No regrets."
Angel smiled and nodded. "Alright, then I'll leave the 'Dream of Returning Spirits' option to you."
After a pause, Angell looked at Kemai.
The latter immediately understood and said, "I wouldn't choose 'dreaming of a ghost' either."
Then Angell looked at Blanche, who instinctively said, "Me too..."
Before he could finish speaking, Angel said quietly, "I almost forgot, it seems you don't have a choice."
Blanche's expression froze.
Just as Blanche was feeling indignant, Angel changed the subject: "How about I give you the choice?"
Blanche was stunned: "Huh?"
Angell: "If you promise me one thing, I will give you the choice."
Blanche: "Can the option be transferred?"
Angell remained noncommittal: "Whatever you want, I can just exchange it for you."
"Can an identity from the Fairy Realm be transferred?" Blanche asked in surprise.
Angell nodded: "Most of the time, that's fine."
The identity of a fairyland, aside from some directly instilled concepts such as "priestly glory" and "celestial music", is not limited to these.
Everything else can be traded, because these identities are based on a thing.
For example, "The Self-Cultivation of a Scout" is like a short dagger; wielding it grants one the corresponding status.
Therefore, one can trade identity by directly trading the short dagger.
Blanche hesitated for a moment: "What do you want me to do?"
Angel: "It's very simple. After you wake up, go to the Misty Swamp Forest in reality and pull Rigota's soul from the evil spirit's body into the Dream Crystal Plains."
No one else can do this.
But Blanche can.
Her almost mystical talent allowed her to easily pull the trapped souls and consciousnesses into dreams. Finally, guided by Blanche, they entered the Dream Crystal Plains.
In this way, even without choosing "anchoring the soul", it is still possible to get Rigota's soul into the Dream Crystal Plains.
The rewards from the E-rank dungeon were nothing special to Angor.
It's almost never needed.
Just like the mascot costume from back then, I took it but never used it.
Therefore, Angor didn't mind helping Uriel by pulling Rigota's consciousness into the Dream Crystal Plains.
Furthermore, Rigota's future as a new resident of Dream Crystal Plains is also a good thing for Angor. Whoever it is, contributing to the development of Dream Crystal Plains is beneficial, even if it's just through art and spiritual civilization.
Moreover, Rigota is the anchor point of the Western Continent wizarding world, which may also be beneficial to Dream Crystal Plains.
Upon hearing Angel's words, Uriel looked at Angel with astonishment, then at Blanche, his lips trembling, unsure of what to say.
Blanche, however, pursed her lips after hearing this: "That won't do. How can you be the good guy all the time?"
Angell: "???"
Blanche said irritably, "I was originally planning to discuss with my teacher when I got back later whether I could log off and rescue Rigota's soul from the evil spirit's body."
"Then she will be able to reunite with Mr. Uriel."
"So now that you've said that, what I could have done has become your achievement. That won't do, Mr. Uriel. Don't listen to him. I don't want his choice, and he can't help me redeem a non-material reward like 'Heavenly Melody'."
"So, you'll still have to thank me then; you'll owe me and the teacher a favor!"
Blanche solemnly stated her position to Uriel.
Angel: "...?" I never intended for Uriel to owe me a favor.
However, seeing Blanche's righteous and indignant demeanor, Angel thought for a moment and didn't say anything more.
In the end, it turned out to be a pretty good outcome.
He has high authority in the Dream Crystal Plains, but this authority cannot affect reality, much less the distant Western Continent wizarding world.
Therefore, many things can only be done by Blanche and Camillo.
Of course, it would be even better if the Sun and Moon Wizards could help.
But as legendary figures, it's clearly not worthwhile to waste people's favors by asking the Sun and Moon Wizards to help Uriel.
So now that Blanche is willing to help, Angel is naturally happy.
