A moment later, the demon falcon spread its wings and circled around in the air before disappearing into the horizon.
White Bear and Leon both looked at Angor.
"Your Excellency Phantom Demon's Demon Falcon is here to deliver a message?" White Bear asked anxiously.
Leon asked nervously, "How are they doing now?"
"They've captured Roland." Angor took a moment to sort out the information he just received and answered, "They've captured Roland."
"The reason why it took so long was because something happened when Thewis wanted to refine Roland into a puppet."
This was because Roland was the true master of the Crimson Crown. If he was killed, no one knew what kind of backlash the Crimson Origin Backtrack engraved on the Crimson Crown would have. Therefore, after capturing Roland, the best way to make him obedient without affecting the Crimson Crown was to refine him into a humanoid puppet.
Both White Bear and Leon knew what would happen to Roland if Thewis captured him.
However, they didn't expect something to happen while trying to turn Roland into a puppet.
"What happened?" White Bear asked.
"Roland broke free from his shackles."
…
He returned to his room and did nothing. Instead, he leaned against the window and waited in silence.
Sunders didn't just tell him about Roland's death. There was also something else he didn't tell Sunders.
He stared at the sunset glow that was slowly being driven away by the dark night. His eyes twinkled as if he was waiting for something.
There was a letter in front of him. The cover of the letter had already been flipped open to a page full of words. Looking carefully, one could see the title of the letter with two large words: "The Door of Dreams."
After an unknown amount of time, Angor suddenly felt something strange in his mind. If he could describe it in words, it would be: [Warning! Something has entered the dream wasteland!] [Warning!]
Angor repeated the message several times. Following the source of the dream energy, he traveled through the thick fog in the dream and finally saw the person who received the message.
It was a handsome man dressed in exquisite clothes. Every detail of his body was meticulous. At this moment, he was standing on one side of the Bridge of Dreams, slowly pacing back and forth.
When he finally saw the face behind the mist, he released a long sigh of relief and sent a message to the Dream Gate. [Accept.]
In an instant, the handsome man was thrown into the dream wilderness.
Seeing this, Angor's eyes glinted. He picked up a piece of paper and quickly wrote something down in his notebook.
A moment later, inside a noble's mansion in Foundation City, Angor greeted the man in front of him respectfully. "Professor."
It was Sunders, the first person who came to the dream wasteland without using a log-in device.
The demon falcon also told him that Sunders had learned how to enter a dream and that he would be conducting an experiment tonight. This was why Angor was waiting for him.
"It looks like I can reach the dream wasteland with nightmare power." Sunders picked up a cup of steaming red tea and took a sip. "But I still need to go through the test of the Dream Gate."
It took Sunders four months to learn Dream Walk, and today was the first time he used nightmare energy to activate it.
As it turned out, Sunders could use Nightmare Walk to enter the dream wasteland.
As a matter of fact, Angor already expected this result. After he obtained the power of the Dreamscape Gate, he was able to transform the dream wasteland from a macroscopic to a microscopic one, allowing it to be displayed in his mind in the form of a sandbox. At the same time, he could also see what was happening outside the dream wasteland.
The dream wasteland was actually a box attached to the Dream Realm. It was completely dark outside, and nothing could be seen. However, this did not mean it was safe. Once, a monster from the Dream Realm tried to invade this box but was killed by someone who looked like Shava.
Angor now knew that the dream wasteland could be sensed by the dream monsters. Some of them could even destroy the wasteland.
So how did they sense the dream wasteland? This question had been bothering Angor for a long time.
After thinking about it for a while, Angor believed that there were two ways to do so. First, if one knew enough about the Dream Realm, there was a chance that one could find the dream wasteland outside of the Dream Realm. Second, one needed a key to enter the dream wasteland.
The key was a medium that allowed one to bypass all obstacles and reach the dream wasteland directly.
Angor believed that this might be the key to enter someone's dream.
Now, Sunders was able to enter the dream wasteland without using a log-in device, which meant his guess was correct.
Anyone who used Nightmare Walk would be able to enter the dream wasteland.
The only fortunate thing was that there were very few people who possessed the Nightmare Constitution, and even fewer who could activate nightmare power and learn the Dream Invasion Technique. So far, Angor and Sunders were probably the only ones who knew about it.
If someone else learned Nightmare Walk in the future, Angor did not need to worry too much. With the barrier of the "Dream Gate", they would need his permission to enter the dream wasteland.
"I've made some changes to the Dream Gate. From now on, you won't be stopped from entering the gate," Angor explained.
This meant that as long as he and Sunders were both in the southern wizarding region, no matter how far away they were, they would be able to communicate with each other through the dream wasteland.
Next, Angor and Sunders discussed the conditions to enter the dream wasteland. After reaching a consensus, Angor asked about Sunders' current situation.
Sunders sent the demon falcon to Angor's manor, but he did not tell them much.
Why did Roland run away? Where did he go? And what happened next? Sunders did not explain in detail.
Sunders' expression changed when he heard Roland's name. He shook his head and said, "That's strange too."
Angor did not know whether Roland was his real name or not. He was hiding in a very remote place. However, the bloodstained parchment in the suitcase was still discovered.
At that time, Thewis had made ample preparations. When he went to capture Roland, he not only sealed off spacetime, but also spent a great deal of effort to block any information that might leak out. Even Prophets would find it difficult to break through such shackles.
Roland did struggle and fight back, but he was only an apprentice. In the end, they caught him easily.
Since Roland was captured, Thewis planned to turn him into a puppet. This would prevent the Crimson Crown from being destroyed, and it would also delay Goman King's discovery.
In the end, an unforeseen event occurred during the process of refining the puppet.
"Just as I told the demon falcon to tell you, Roland broke free and almost ran away," said Sunders.
"Almost escaped? You mean he didn't get away? "Angor was puzzled.
Sunders nodded. "Speaking of which, Thewis should thank you. Because of the Geometric Lock, Roland couldn't break free for a second time, which allowed us to capture him for the second time."
In Angor's mind, Roland's capture meant that this was the end of the story. However, it was not the case.
"Now we know why Goman King chose Roland as the new master of the Crimson Crown. Because Roland has a second personality."
"Dual personality?" Angor frowned. Dual personality wasn't rare, but it wasn't that rare.
When Angor was young, his father, Old Padt, once told him and his brother about a shocking case that shocked the entire noble circle of Waterford. A seemingly cowardly and introverted young master committed a series of skinning murders. The victims were all people in his family. The reason was that this introverted young master had a cruel second personality.
In the end, the case was exposed by a coachman. However, since most of the victims were servants, the case was not made public, and the coachman was arrested in the end. As for the young master with dual personality, he was imprisoned. No one knew what happened next.
"Dual personality is nothing special. But Roland's second personality is a little strange." Sunders' eyes glinted. "His second personality is the embodiment of all evil intentions."
Dual personality referred to the different characteristics of a person. It was normal for someone to have an evil personality.
However, Roland was different. Not only was this personality filled with absolute malice, but when this personality was activated, his strength also changed.
He reached the level of a formal wizard!
This was very strange, because even if their personality traits were different, they shared the same body. How could a change in personality lead to a difference in mana source?
"Roland's second personality showed up when Thewis was about to turn him into a puppet. As soon as Fu appeared, he caught Thewis off guard. "
Roland attacked Thewis with all kinds of malicious means without regard for his own life, and Thewis couldn't do anything about it. Thanks to Sunders and the help of the Geometric Lock, Thewis was able to subdue Roland again.
However, after Roland was captured for the second time, Thewis couldn't turn him into a puppet.
"Roland's second personality is almost immune to all mental interference. Evil intentions have taken over his mind. Without controlling his mind, he can't make a puppet."
In other words, Thewis had to either kill Roland or stay in a stalemate.
