Roland stayed with Garcia until about four o 'clock in the morning, and then Garcia slowly fell asleep.
What Garcia said in the middle of the night was almost more than what she had said since he met her … Although it was more appropriate to say that Garcia was talking to herself rather than talking to her. Most of the content was about how she ran away from the Clover Family and how she met and got to know her master Lan.
All Roland could do was to refill her glass of milk from time to time and act as a quiet listener.
But he also noticed that Garcia's spirit of justice and dedication mostly came from Lan's teachings, including doing her best to protect this world and never giving up at any time. Although Lan's teachings were very strict, Garcia still regarded her master as her pillar and goal.
Putting aside those emotional experiences, at least for now, Lan had a certain affection for the Dream World.
He just didn't know if the methods she mentioned would work.
There were only two bedrooms in Room 0825, one of which belonged to Zero. Roland weighed the possible risks of searching for the key on Garcia and finally decided to put her on the master bed and sleep in the living room. This way, he could let her have a good rest and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
According to his experience in the GAL game, this should be the safest choice … probably.
Of course, he didn't really want to spend the night on the sofa. After all, the other side had been asleep for a long time.
After settling Garcia down, Roland looked through the bedroom window at the city shrouded in darkness. This was the Dream City at four o 'clock in the morning. The lights were still shining in the city center, more eye-catching than any stars. Although it looked very peaceful, it was as dangerous as the other world. The "Bloody Moon" that represented the Erosion had already shown its ferocious face. The only difference was that one was hanging high in the sky, while the other was buried deep in the ground.
Roland closed the curtains and left the Dream World.
After a familiar dizziness, he slowly opened his eyes, but the first thing he saw was not the ceiling, but a pair of star-like eyes.
"…" After the two pairs of eyes stared at each other for a moment, Roland heard a short and urgent cry, and then the figure above him quickly disappeared without a trace, as if it was just an illusion.
"Ahem, I just wanted to see if you had woken up. After all, you have been asleep for so long. I was a little worried —" Nightingale appeared at the desk. "Besides, why did you wake up so suddenly? You scared me!"
Uh … Roland was speechless for a moment. What did he mean by waking up too suddenly? Could it be that he could give a hint before waking up?
"Anyway, it's good that you're fine. I'm going back to my room to sleep." She deliberately yawned. "By the way, Anna came to see you at ten o 'clock, but she went back when she saw that you weren't awake yet. She also asked me to tell you not to tire yourself out. "
"Wait, what time is it now?"
"Not long after twelve." Nightingale walked to the door of the office. "So … good night."
Watching the door close, Roland felt a strong sense of tiredness hit him. Although entering the Dream World looked like sleeping, the speed of energy consumption did not slow down. In addition, the time flow in the two worlds was different. In other words, he had almost not rested for almost two days.
He stretched and got up from the recliner. When he was about to catch up on sleep, he suddenly caught a trace of strangeness from the corner of his eye.
Roland looked at the ceiling of the floor-to-ceiling window and almost screamed out of fear!
He saw two pale faces hanging down from the window, clinging tightly to the glass, and even a little deformed because they were too close. Four dark eye sockets stared into the room, not to mention how many people there were!
If he did not feel that the eyes were a little familiar, he was afraid that he would have chosen to run away at the first moment.
Wait, familiar?
Roland suppressed his pounding heart, squinted and looked carefully for a moment, only to find that it was actually Lightning and Maggie!
Why did they suddenly appear here?
Moreover, in the middle of the night.
The two people outside the window seemed to have also realized that their whereabouts had been exposed, and slowly floated down from the roof.
"When did you arrive in Neverwinter?" After letting the two little guys in, he asked with a straight face, "Why didn't you report to me immediately?"
When they approached Roland, he noticed that both Lightning and Maggie's hair and clothes were dirty, as if they had not washed for more than half a year, which showed that this investigation was not easy.
"Your Majesty, about an hour ago, we — coo —" Before Maggie could finish her sentence, Lightning covered her mouth.
"No, we just arrived not long ago, and we didn't see anything!" Then he glared at Maggie, "Am I right?"
Maggie nodded hurriedly. "Coo … I remembered wrongly."
Roland could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Even Nana could not be fooled by such a poor performance. But it did not matter even if she said that they came back early. Anyway, he did not mind being watched while he slept. "You were on the road all night? Why didn't you use animal messengers? Is it — "
He suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Lightning said seriously. "Just half a month ago, we found traces of Senior Demons on the ridge of the continent!"
Roland's drowsiness was instantly swept away. "And then? Did you see any outposts or anything like that? "
"Not yet." Lightning shook her head and took out a crumpled map from her bosom. She spread it on the desk and said, "The terrain there is not suitable for us to go further. We had to turn back to the Snow Ridge and meet with the Taquila witches. It took them a lot of time to set up the magic core, but they finally confirmed one thing. " She pointed to a landform in the center of the map that looked like a gap. "There is indeed a God's Stone of Retaliation mine here, and its scale should be similar to that of the Holy City of Taquila!"
Since there were Senior Demons and a God's Stone of Retaliation mine, the conclusion was self-evident.
Roland could not help but frown. The Pearl of the Northern Region had guessed correctly. The enemy had prepared for both sides from the beginning. Although the Taquila was suitable for attack, it was also a place that humans had to fight for. Even if they accidentally lost it, they could invade the Four Kingdoms from another direction. After all, no matter how difficult the Impassable Mountain Range was, it was better than waiting for another 400 years.
Fortunately, the humans were one step ahead of them in discovering the demons' intentions. According to the information provided by Agatha, the Obelisk needed some time to fully mature. Before that, the Red Mist it produced could only cover a small area around it.
"But when we left the Snow Ridge, we heard another news …" Lightning said hesitantly. "At that time, Maggie and I had already crossed the border of the Kingdom of Everwinter. The voice in the Sigil of Listening was very vague, so we were not sure if it was true."
"What did you hear?"
Maggie put her hands to her ears and held them like a receiver.
