Chapter 4439 The Method of Leaving
Mr. Sun had probably just finished absorbing the information from the Fairy Realm Inscriptions, and he was clearly showing signs of fatigue. He walked to the side and fell into silence, seemingly organizing the information in his mind.
Seeing that Mr. Sun was no longer speaking to Angel, Blanche walked up to Angel, blinked, and said in a fawning tone, "Mr. Angel, may I ask you a few questions?"
Angell nodded noncommittally.
Blanche's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked the question that concerned her most: "How do we get out of this instance?"
"In the previous Misty Swamp Forest instance, we automatically left after completing the main quest. But in this instance, the main quest doesn't appear in the text box either?"
Seeing Blanche's expectant expression, Angel raised an eyebrow: "Why do you think I would know how to leave?"
Blanche said matter-of-factly, "You must know how to leave since you were able to get in."
She had secretly chatted with Kemai before and learned that Angell was a very busy person.
Busy people who are willing to enter dungeons must know how to leave them, otherwise what would they do if they got trapped inside?
Angell seemed to see through Blanche's thoughts and said quietly, "I really don't know how to leave."
Blanche was taken aback: "...?"
"Then...then why did you choose to enter the dungeon?" Blanche exclaimed in disbelief.
Perhaps because this topic concerned everyone's future plans, everyone perked up their ears, and even Mr. Sun, who had been resting with his eyes closed, looked over curiously.
Angel said unhurriedly, "I have some special magical artifacts... that allow me to leave freely, but only for myself."
Special props?
Blanche looked suspicious. She was no longer a clueless newbie. Kemai had explained the Wonderland dungeon to her before, and it was clearly mentioned that once you entered the dungeon, it was almost impossible to escape.
Luigi also confirmed this.
If Luigi could leave the instance, he wouldn't be stuck in Uriel's courtyard every day, forced to log off when bored...
Therefore, when Blanche heard Angel's answer, she showed a clear expression of disbelief.
"Such a prop really exists?"
Although Blanche was asking a question, her doubt was quite obvious.
Angell said calmly, "Normally, once a dungeon is opened, it is indeed difficult to leave. But... there are abnormal situations."
"What do you mean by 'abnormal situation'?" Blanche asked quickly.
Angor did not answer immediately, but instead looked at...Sean.
Sean was listening intently to Angel and Blanche's conversation when the spotlight suddenly shone on him.
He belatedly pointed to himself, looking puzzled as if to say, "What happened to me?"
Everyone was puzzled as to why Sean was mentioned, and they all looked over.
Angel: "I remember Father Sean mentioned before that you woke up in Rabbit Town, right?"
Sean nodded.
Have you ever heard of Silver Coral Island in Rabbit Town?
Silver Coral Island? The name sounded somewhat familiar to everyone.
Sean nodded without hesitation: "I've heard about it. It's supposedly a special instance, located under a lake in Rabbit Town, but I haven't been there yet..."
Angell: "You wouldn't mind telling everyone about Silver Coral Island, would you?"
Although Sean didn't know why he was suddenly asked to introduce Silver Coral Island, he thought about it and felt that it wasn't a big deal, so he nodded and took the initiative to talk about the information he had received from Toto.
After a while.
After listening to Sean's story, Blanche and Mr. Sun suddenly realized that this was indeed not the first time they had heard of Silver Coral Island.
Previously, when they were in the Uriel instance, they were curious about the ecology of Dream Crystal Plains and asked if there were any "plants" outside.
In his answer, Luigi mentioned Silver Coral Island, saying that the outside world not only has trees, but also the sea...
At the time, they didn't inquire about Silver Coral Island, assuming it was just a place name from the outside world. Now, with Sean's explanation, they learned that Silver Coral Island was actually a dungeon.
Moreover, it's an open instance; anyone who meets the requirements can enter and exit!
Blanche wasn't stupid either; when she learned that Silver Coral Island was freely accessible, she immediately understood what Angel meant.
"You had Sean explain Silver Coral Island, are you trying to tell us that Dawn of Dreams, like Silver Coral Island, is an open-world instance?"
Angell, adopting a teachable demeanor, nodded and said, "You're right."
"Because Dawn of Dreams is an open-world instance, it is different from other instances. It is not closed off; as long as you meet the requirements, you can freely enter and exit."
"Of course, if you don't meet the requirements, you can still get in and out using some special tools."
Blanche roughly understood, "So, this kind of item that can force you to leave a dungeon can only be used in open dungeons?"
Angor: "That's mostly true, but there are also items that can force you out of a regular dungeon, but these are much rarer. They're about as rare as... items that allow you to chat in the world chat."
Blanche immediately realized that the number of world chat attempts were only awarded for perfectly clearing a dungeon.
Therefore, this kind of item, which is forcibly removed from the regular dungeon, is probably only a reward for perfectly clearing the dungeon.
That is indeed rare.
“Now you understand, right? It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you, I just really didn’t know how to leave.” Angel paused for a moment. “But don’t worry, leaving an open-world instance isn’t difficult.”
Sean mentioned this point before.
Once you reach the vicinity of the Small Pagoda on Silver Coral Island, you can leave directly, as it has its own dedicated exit.
Upon receiving this news, Blanche breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although the method to leave Dawn of Dreams is currently unknown, since the method is not difficult, it will eventually be found.
Just as Blanche began to speculate about how Dawn's Dream would leave, Mr. Sun suddenly spoke up: "May I ask a question?"
Angell's expression turned serious: "Of course."
"You just mentioned that you can leave Dawn of Dreams using special items... Did you also use special items to enter Dawn of Dreams?"
"Or have you met the entry requirements for Dawn of Dreams?"
Mr. Sun's words startled Blanche: "Right, Angel only mentioned using a prop when leaving, but didn't say he used one when coming in."
Furthermore, Sean mentioned that entering open-world instances requires meeting certain prerequisites, and the prerequisite for entering Silver Coral Island is being a pure and innocent person.
What about the dream of dawn?
Is the entry condition similar to the exit condition? If so, wouldn't knowing the entry condition also be important?
Angell glanced at Mr. Sun and said softly, "No, I entered the Dream of Dawn by following the conventional path."
Blanche: "So, Mr. Angell has met the conditions for entering the Dream of Dawn?"
Angell nodded.
"What are the conditions for entering the Dream of Dawn?" Blanche asked curiously.
After thinking about it, Angor felt there was no point in hiding it, and the name of the instance already provided a clue, so he gave the answer directly.
"Dream."
"A dream?" Everyone was taken aback.
Angel nodded: "As long as you possess the power of dreams, or have access to items related to the power of dreams, you can enter the Dream of Dawn."
"And I happen to have some items that possess the power of dreams."
After a moment of silence, Mr. Sun chuckled and said, "That makes sense. Since the Dream of Dawn is related to 'dreams,' it's understandable that it would be refused entry if there were no 'dreams.'"
Others thought about it and agreed that it made sense.
The clues from the Fairyland of Dawn's Dream indicate that this is a special dream platform that can guide the dreams of Dawn City. To enter the instance, you must be imbued with the power of dreams, which is perfectly logical.
Mr. Sun continued, "Based on the entry conditions, the method of leaving the instance might also be related to 'dreams'?"
Angell: "That makes sense."
Even Mr. Sun and Angell said so, and others also began to associate the method of leaving with "dreams".
After a brief discussion.
Everyone guessed that the answer must lie in the clues from Wonderland.
The Wonderland hints have four keywords: Dream Bubble, Dreamer, Dawn Shop, and Dawn Points.
Dream Bubble and Dream Guest can be merged, as can Dawn Points and Dawn Shop, because both need to be combined to take effect.
After the merger, there are actually only two answers.
The method to leave is either related to Dream Bubble or to Dawn Shop.
Blanche: "Since the method of entering is related to dreams, then the method of leaving is probably the same... So, could the dream bubble be the key to leaving? If we can solve the dream bubble, maybe we can leave?"
Others also largely agree with this view.
However, Mr. Sun did not express his opinion, but looked at Angel and asked, "Angel, what do you think?"
Angel: "I agree with Blanche's statement. If we solve the dream bubble, we should be able to leave."
Solving the Dream Bubble is equivalent to welcoming a Dream Guest, and the Dream Guest is very important to the Dawn of Dreams instance, and can even be said to be the key to maintaining the existence of the instance.
Therefore, you guided the dreamer, strengthened the anchor point, and the dream of dawn allowed you to leave, which is very much in line with the principle of equivalent exchange.
Angell naturally agreed.
"However, solving the dream bubble problem may not necessarily allow us to escape directly."
"After dealing with the dream bubble and completing the dream visitor reception, the final reward is Dawn Points."
"Dawn Points are the universal currency for dungeons, with a clear purpose: they can be used to exchange for various items and even special privileges in the Dawn Shop."
"So in my opinion, the permission to leave the instance may also be purchased through the Dawn Shop."
After Angel finished speaking, Guleimo, who had been silent until now, nodded in deep agreement: "Lord Angel is right, this is in line with the aesthetics of procedure."
"Process aesthetics?"
Guleimo said in a low voice, "To resolve the Dream Bubble and let you leave directly is not a good thing. It would be much better to use an intermediary—Dawn Points—to purchase the right to leave."
“…” Blanche and Sean were a little confused. What was so beautiful about this?
Gulemo explained earnestly, “Just like when I compose a piece of music, if the sections are connected abruptly without any build-up or transition, it sounds stiff and abrupt, and loses its charm.”
"There must always be some blank space between the sections, and an interlude should be added. Only when the introduction, development, transition and conclusion are completed can the rhythm be considered complete."
"The same principle applies to the rules of the instance."
If you simply let people pass after resolving the Dream Bubble issue, it would be too straightforward and hasty. Instead, you should accumulate Dawn Points first, and then exchange them for the qualification to leave at the Dawn Shop. This kind of preparation, flow, and method is the proper "beauty."
Moreover, because of this groundwork, the potential for development increases.
For example, the pauses in a piece of music can lead to any subsequent melody.
Similarly, Dawn Points can be used to purchase the right to leave, or to purchase other items.
Therefore, in Guleimo's view, from the perspective of process aesthetics, in the self-consistent logic of the entire Dawn Dream, the Dawn Shop is the external output point, while solving the dream bubble is just a prerequisite for everything.
Blanche was a little dizzy from Gulemo's reasoning, but upon closer reflection, it did seem to make some sense.
Just then, Mr. Sun spoke up: "I tend to agree with what Angell and Gulemo said."
Now that Mr. Sun has said so, Blanche, who was already half convinced, has completely switched sides.
"So... should we go find the Dawn Shop next?"
Where will the Dawn Shop be?
Mr. Sun: "Let's not rush to find the Dawn Shop. We've already deduced that it probably has a way out. We can look for it later after we've dealt with the Dream Bubble and have some Dawn Points."
Blanche thought for a moment and nodded: "That's right, it's a waste to find the Dawn Shop without Dawn Points."
"The most important thing right now is Luigi's condition... and reuniting with the others."
"As for Dawn Shop, since Lianlian is here, we can find it as we go."
……
Several more minutes passed.
Blanche leaned against the French windows, looking at the dark sky outside, a hint of confusion on her face.
"Have you guys noticed... that the celestial phenomena outside seem to be getting more and more terrifying?"
Although they didn't feel any physical changes inside the dark building, visually it seemed that it was getting darker and darker outside... The wind even seemed to have a color, dark and gloomy.
"The wind outside seems to be getting stronger," the others chimed in.
"If the wind continues to intensify, we might not even be able to leave the house," Sean whispered.
At this moment, Angel spoke up: "The wind is indeed stronger than before, but this intensity is mainly concentrated near Uriel's courtyard. The further out you go, the weaker it actually becomes."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
Sure enough, the Uriel courtyard could be seen from afar before, but now it was shrouded in a thick layer of black mist.
It was called "black" fog, but it was actually just the surrounding dream fog that had been blown directly to the vicinity of Uriel's courtyard. Under the fierce wind, it swirled around wildly, making it appear thicker and darker.
In Angell's view, this actually represents the increasingly deep intrusion of Uriel's courtyard into reality.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, it won't be long before it completely merges with the Dream of Dawn.
