On Friday, in the dead of night, in Audrey's bedroom.
After the golden retriever, Susie, received her gaze, she opened the door and went out. She sat outside to prevent anyone from disturbing her.
Audrey took out the Dreamwalker Beyonder characteristic, the corresponding supplementary ingredients, and the concocting utensils from various hidden spots where she hid her items. Most of the supplementary ingredients came from the City of Silver, and they weren't items that could be exchanged for with a lot of contribution points. As for the payment, Audrey hadn't paid it yet because Little Sun hadn't thought of what he wanted.
After concocting the potion skillfully, Audrey looked at the liquid that was dotted with grayish-white light. She took a step back, clasped her hands, and placed them in front of her mouth and nose. She chanted softly in ancient Hermes,
She chanted softly in ancient Hermes, "The Fool that doesn't belong to this era …"
Just as her prayers subsided, countless indescribable shadows appeared in front of her.
They quickly swam and interweaved as though they were active in the sea. And at the top of the sea were seven pure lights of different colors that seemed to contain endless knowledge.
Above the seven pure lights was an endless grayish-white fog. Above the grayish-white fog, there was a majestic palace.
At this moment, the door to the palace opened. A figure condensed from a golden light spread out twelve pairs of scarlet flames, flew down, and landed in front of Audrey.
The twelve pairs of flaming wings enveloped the blonde, green-eyed girl.
This scene only lasted for a second or two before disappearing like an illusion. However, Audrey was always immersed in this sacred and sublime feeling.
She calmed her emotions and sincerely thanked Mr. Fool.
With Angel's Embrace, she could maintain her lucidity in the dream. She could wake up whenever she wanted, and she didn't have to worry about being engrossed in it and being unable to extricate herself.
This was equivalent to her holding the corresponding ritual for Dreamwalker. Furthermore, the effects would definitely be better than the original version.
After all, not every Hypnotist can obtain the blessings of such a secret existence and be embraced by a special angel … Audrey, all the best! Audrey grumbled in her heart. Without hesitation, she picked up the glass bottle and gulped down the potion.
The potion was not as bad as she had imagined. It was sour, sweet, bitter, hallucinogenic, and stimulating. It was like a wild dream.
Before Audrey could feel the effects of the potion on her body, her mind suddenly went blank for a moment, and then she regained consciousness.
Outside the window, she saw that the night had turned into morning. Sun was rising in the sky, dyeing everything red.
In the garden, flowers bloomed one after another, and crystal dewdrops swayed on the tips of the dark green grass.
Audrey seemed to have become the master of this World. Her consciousness floated up and she saw the scene from a bird's eye view.
Her father and mother walked arm in arm along the garden path, basking in the morning light and smelling the fragrance;
Her two brothers, Hibbert and Alfred, had overcome their estrangement. They rode their horses and brought their attendants with them. They laughed as they constantly entered the woods in the suburbs, competing to see who could hunt more;
The ambassadors or special representatives of Feysac, Intis, Feynapotter, and other countries signed an agreement at the Sodela Palace in Rouen, announcing to the World that war would not happen. The dark clouds in the sky dissipated;
The smog in Baekeland improved. One factory after another passed the dual inspections of the alkali industry's prosecutor and the National Atmospheric Pollution Council, and such standards were extended to other countries;
The maximum working hours and the basic working conditions of the workers were satisfied. Various industries were developing better and better, and the number of nomads had dropped to an unimaginable level. The various security programs led by the kingdom covered everyone;
More and more workers could afford bicycles. On the streets, bicycles gathered like an army, driving in different directions amidst the tinkling sounds;
Children didn't need to enter the factory at a young age. They laughed and played as they ran into classrooms with bright windows and clean tables and chairs. They flipped open their textbooks and began to listen carefully. If they didn't study, it was only because they didn't want to, not because they didn't have the means;
Women were no longer discriminated against because of their gender. Even if they were just a laundry worker, they could rely on their studies to obtain knowledge and find a better job. They were reporters, teachers, police officers, soldiers, miners, and government employees. They could be seen in every formal industry;
All kinds of machinery appeared on the streets and alleys, bringing convenience and joy to the people;
In the square in front of the Evernight cathedral, white pigeons flew up and landed from time to time. People were either sitting, standing, or playing music, enjoying life to the fullest …
This was the future that Audrey dreamed of. Unaffiliated Beyonders didn't need to be afraid anymore. As long as they received regular physical checks and mental evaluations, they would be able to walk under the sun and use their Beyonder powers to legally earn money.
This is really beautiful … If I wasn't maintaining my clarity of mind, I might've been engrossed in it. I would've descended from the high point of my consciousness and strolled with my parents, hunted with my brothers, occasionally went to school to teach the children, and often worked hard for the continuation of peace in the World … Audrey stared at such a dream and felt wistful.
She then felt her Astral Projection rise again, breaking through the borders of the hazy World.
She saw her dream grow out of the "island of consciousness" like a huge bubble, silently enveloping it.
The surroundings of this "bubble" were a gray blur. In the distance, she could vaguely see other "bubbles," and beneath those "bubbles" were usually corresponding to an "island of consciousness."
In the depths of the gray blur was a silent rippling, shimmering illusory sea that had no bottom.
The sea of collective subconscious … This is what the World of the mind looks like from the point of view of a Dreamwalker … And a Manipulator begins to truly involve the sea of collective subconscious … Audrey nodded in enlightenment and retracted her gaze. Without staying any longer, she forcefully escaped the dream.
Everything in front of her returned to normal. It was still pitch-black outside the window, and only the gas lamps around the garden emitted light.
Audrey then cast her gaze at the full-body mirror in the bedroom. She felt that she hadn't changed much from before. Only upon careful observation would she discover that her pair of green eyes had become clearer and deeper, as though they could reflect the souls of others.
Closing her eyes and experiencing the knowledge brought about by the potion, Audrey quickly grasped the core powers of a Dreamwalker.
Through the guidance and control of dreams, she could obtain information and influence the enemy.
This was divided into two aspects:
The first was "Guidance." Similar to the Nightmare of the Evernight pathway, it used the different changes in dreams to guide the target to reveal the secrets at the bottom of their hearts. The difference was that a Nightmare could forcefully pull a person into a dream, but a Dreamwalker couldn't, unless it was complemented by Hypnosis.
The second was "Modification." Through the modification of dreams, one could influence the target over time, making them change unknowingly, making them do things they wouldn't normally do. The principle behind this "modification" was to use the dream as an entry point, using the Astral Projection as a springboard to gradually infect the target's Soul Body. Only then would it reflect on the Body of Heart and Mind, rooting itself in the subconscious. Compared to direct "Hypnosis," this kind of control that stemmed from dreams was gentler, more concealed, and less easily detected. It was suitable for targets at a higher level.
From the looks of it, a large number of acts of love at first sight might hide a few or more cases of "Dream Modification" … Hmm, in many best-selling novels, the female lead would often dream of a particular figure and have a romantic and beautiful time with him. Therefore, when she saw the male lead who resembled the figure in her dream, she would quickly sink into it and be filled with the yearning for love. Hmm … Audrey recalled what she had read in the past and momentarily felt like laughing.
To her, be it "Guidance" or "Modification," they weren't much better than "Hypnosis." Instead, there was another Beyonder power that she liked more — Dream Traversal.
This allowed her body to turn incorporeal, as though she had become a dream elf or a Dreamwalker. Not only could she directly hide in the dreams of others, but she could also jump from one dream to another, using this to complete a physical "Blink."
The restriction of this kind of traversal was that the distance between two dreams couldn't exceed 500 meters. Furthermore, it had to be an intelligent creature.
In specific environments, this can effectively hide me … Hmm, why didn't Hvin Rambis directly influence me through Dream Modification? Is it because this place is protected by the Church? The Evernight pathway is also good at matters related to dreams … In thought, Audrey began converging her spirituality.
…
Above the fog, in the ancient palace.
Beside the long, mottled bronze table, Klein and Leonard sat diagonally across from each other.
"Why are you suddenly looking for me?" Leonard leaned back in his chair and asked lazily.
Regardless, he still remembered that this place belonged to Mr. Fool, so he didn't dare to act too casually.
Klein glanced at him and said,
"I need your help with something."
"Need my help?" Leonard pointed at himself and asked in surprise, "You're referring to Pallez, right?"
He didn't think he could help Klein, who had already become a demigod.
"You know your position very well." Klein tsked. "However, I'm indeed looking for you this time. It mainly involves a few dreams."
"Dreams …" Leonard was enlightened as he said in puzzlement and amusement, "Klein, you seem to have changed a little. I mean, you've become more like before. You're no longer wearing that gloomy face."
Without waiting for Klein's response, he combed his slightly messy illusory hair and smiled.
"That's pretty good. Yes, I'm still good at dreams. Whose dreams are they?"
Klein replied without batting an eyelid.
"A Rouen soldier from more than a hundred years ago, a noble from the Fourth Epoch, an ascetic from the Third Epoch, as well as an elf and a giant from the Second Epoch."
"What?" Leonard asked blankly with his green eyes, suspecting if he had heard wrongly.
Ignoring the elves and giants from the Second Epoch, even a noble from the Fourth Epoch had to choose a specific Beyonder pathway and become a saint to survive to this day!
It can't be that apart from the Rouen soldier, all of them are angels, right? Entering an angel's dream … I-it's better to find Old Man … Leonard's thoughts instantly churned as though he was in a dream.
