The Land of Frost, the underground ruins.
Thorn abruptly woke up from the nightmare. The pain pierced her brain, as if someone had torn her brain from the middle.
In fact, Thorn's head had already been chopped by an axe twice in the nightmare.
"Your physical signs are very abnormal."
A distorted noise echoed in Thorn's ears. She immediately stood up and looked around.
There was no hallway, no bathroom. This was the first time Thorn felt that the ruins around her were broken. It was enough to make anyone's hair stand on end, but the scenery was so … reassuring.
She sat down on the ground and breathed in the fresh air. Her mother had someone push the wheelchair to the side of Thorn and Chain Priest.
The chain priest was still unconscious, so she could only focus her attention on Thorn.
"What happened in the Space of Consciousness? The crystal core of the Heart Lock almost went berserk. "
"Monster."
Thorn felt a lot better after returning to the real world. At least the suffocating fear in her heart no longer existed.
Her mother did not ask about the Heart Lock anymore because three 'ghosts' appeared in the middle of the ruins.
It was a long-distance communication magic, but it was classified as forbidden magic because every time it was cast, three human lives must be sacrificed.
The three ghosts whose faces could not be seen clearly floated in front of Thorn.
"Thorn … you failed." One of the ghosts said in a low voice.
"Bishop, there is an unimaginable monster in the Space of Consciousness, it is not …"
When Thorn tried to explain, she was rudely interrupted again.
"Bishop Gainko and his followers will complete this great mission on your behalf." Another ghost said with a regretful tone.
"Complete? You don't even understand what is inside! "
Thorn heard their casual tone and a kind of anger rose in her heart. She stood up and refuted them.
"Priest Thorn!"
"Wait, let her finish first."
The two Specters had a different attitude towards Thorn, but in the end, the other Specter was convinced.
"Movies. Ever since we entered the Space of Consciousness, we have been in the world of a movie. It is the first movie that appeared in Noland," Thorn said in a hurried voice.
"Lying isn't good, Priest Bramble Thorn. Aren't you a bit too naive to tell such a childish lie?" Another wraith sneered.
"The chain can prove it!" Thorn pointed at the chain priest who was still unconscious.
The three spirits looked at their mother in the wheelchair.
"The Priest of Chains is in a deep coma. If we forcefully wake him up, there might be some accidents," his mother answered.
"Please wake him up."
One of the ghosts made a decision. The inscription around the mother's hand glowed. The next second, the chain priest opened his eyes and stood up.
His expression was lifeless, and there was no spirit in his eyes.
"Chains, what happened in the space of consciousness?"
Wraith asked him loudly, but the chain priest didn't even respond to her.
Seeing the sluggish look on the priest's face, Thorn approached him and subconsciously said something that she would remember for the rest of her life.
"Johnny's here!"
Thorn's words were like a curse. The moment the chain priest heard it, his expression became extremely twisted. He covered his head and fell to the ground, curling up his body.
"That's a line from the movie 'The Shining'!" Thorn said to the three spirits.
"Mother, do you still have the key to enter the Space of Consciousness?"
The three spirits saw this scene and ignored Thorn. They turned to the woman in the wheelchair and asked.
"The crystal core of the Heart Lock is broken. It will take some time to repair, but the way to enter is clear," her mother answered.
"Bishop Gainke is already on his way. As for you, Thorn … tell him everything that happened in the Space of Consciousness. As for the chains, let his soul return to the embrace of our God."
After leaving that sentence, the spirit completely dissipated into the darkness.
… …
Assequero, the Hearthstone Tavern in the Forgotten Land.
"My eyes!"
Ahr fell to the ground and covered her eyes as she rolled around. Twig tried to stop Ahr from rolling, but unfortunately, her movements were too quick.
"What's wrong?"
Josiah heard Ahr's sorrowful cry when he arrived at the Hearthstone Tavern.
This girl usually played games all night in the Hearthstone Tavern, so she probably wouldn't do anything dangerous.
"About this …"
Twig pointed at a figure sitting in the corner of the Hearthstone Tavern. She looked at the figure and couldn't help but squint her eyes.
"Taylin?"
Josh looked in the direction the leaves were pointing at and saw the Frost Elf sitting by the window, looking outside. There was also a crow standing by the window.
"My grandfather always talks about the scenery in Assequero, and he has some friends in Assequero." Taylin said apologetically, "So I asked Miss Qianmian to drive me here. Did I cause trouble for you, Josiah?"
"Of course there will be trouble for me."
Josiah and Hiri sat opposite Taylin. The Frost Elf heard this and lowered her head, as if she was very guilty.
This made Josiah sigh. The more time he spent with Taylin, the more he realized that whenever he was around, Taylin would always take his feelings into consideration.
Was this a form of gentleness? Josiah wasn't sure.
"But it's your freedom to go wherever you want. I just hope that you don't do anything dangerous."
Josiah felt that Taylin had been staying in Noland's Hearthstone Tavern for a long time, and had probably developed the characteristics of an otaku.
"Hmm … Then Mr. Josiah … when can I read the 'Sherlock Holmes: The Four Signatures' that you mentioned?" Taylin suddenly changed the topic.
"That book … I'm already writing it, but I'm a little busy these days."
When Taylin said this, Twig also looked at him, as if asking, "When will the new book come out?"
Josiah cleverly chose to change the topic in the face of the two considerate readers urging him to write.
"Speaking of which, Twig, why do you always squint your eyes when you look at Taylin? Does it have anything to do with Ahr rolling on the ground? "Josiah asked.
"Miss Taylin has gathered too much power of faith, so much that I can't even imagine it."
Twig's answer was very vague, so Josiah could only summon the white cat from Taylin's house. When it appeared on top of Josiah's head, it shared its vision with Josiah.
When Josiah looked at Taylin again … Josiah's eyes stung.
The light on Taylin's body was a little too dazzling.
"Let me see." Hiri also curiously picked up the white cat. The white cat resisted for a while, but was finally tamed by Hiri.
In the next second, Ciri covered her eyes with her hands.
"I now understand what Josiah meant when he said that you can turn into light." Hiri used the white cat's paw on her head to cover her eyes. "Don't you feel uncomfortable when you sleep?"
"The Holy Tree has retracted this ability, and I only need to wear this pair of glasses."
Taylin pushed up her wood-rimmed glasses. She had obediently disguised herself before she left the house.
"Boss!"
At this moment, Ahr stopped his' rolling 'state and ran to Josiah's side.
"I also want this … shiny effect!" Ahr said.
Hiri's gaze swept back and forth between Ahr and Taylin, and finally came to a conclusion.
That was the difference between pay-to-win players and ordinary players.
Josiah listened to Ahr's request and fell into a short period of deep thought.
"Taylin, I need you to connect to the World Tree to find some things, but there's one more thing."
Josiah silently recited the World Tree of the High Elves, and the figure of Shiratori indeed appeared on the table.
When the white cat saw the bird, it revealed a slightly mocking expression, but the other side ignored it and turned its head.
"Elves can see the power of faith. Is it something like a talent?" Josiah asked.
'This is an ability we have bestowed upon them.' Shiratori's voice directly sounded in Josiah's mind.
