The sea stretched as far as Angor's eyes could see, forming a line with the sky. In the afternoon, the golden sun shone brightly on the surface of the sea, creating sparkling spots.
The sound of the waves was soothing and rhythmic. The sound of seagulls chirping from time to time gave Angor a sense of peace.
This was a piece of land near the sea, and it was also a short white beach.
Toby was lying on the soft beach, snoring away without a care for his image.
Angor sighed in his mind. He was worried about Toby's condition, so he entered the creature's dream, and now he was inside Toby's dream.
As it turned out, Toby was not only drunk in reality, but also snoring in his dream.
Since Toby was the center of Angor's dream, Angor couldn't walk around. He could only observe his surroundings.
Still, Angor was relieved to see the current state of the dream.
Compared to the last time when he was troubled by the dark and negative energy, this was much better. Angor couldn't see anything else, but the sunny beach and the surging waves in front of him already gave him a sense of peace.
Toby's dream had changed. It seemed that the creature had gotten rid of the shadow of Agony for now.
Furthermore, the fact that Toby dared to lie down and sleep on the beach meant that he was very confident in the safety of his surroundings.
Since Toby was still sleeping, Angor decided to return to reality after observing for a while. However, just as he was about to leave, he heard a faint rustling sound by his ear.
The first thing he saw was a pair of bare feet with distinct joints.
Toby seemed to have sensed the movement around him as well. He yawned and raised his head, only to see Olga in her maid uniform.
Auri carefully lifted Toby up. "Supreme Toby, the young master has ordered the kitchen to make some dried fish. He's waiting for you in the dining hall."
"…" "What's above everything?" Where did that come from?
While Angor was complaining in his mind, Toby enjoyed it very much. He jumped from Auri's arms to her head. Stepping on Auri's head made Toby feel like he was looking down on the world.
Auri took Toby along a small path and headed deeper into the island. After passing through a dense forest of palm trees, Auri brought Toby to a small path that Angor found quite familiar.
It looked like the winding path that led to Padt Manor at the end of Grue Town.
Angor's hunch was right. Soon, they arrived at Padt Manor.
Toby seemed to have had enough rest on Auri's head. He flapped his wings and flew into the sky. While flying in the air, he gained a general understanding of the place.
A small island surrounded by the sea. The island was surrounded by a beach.......... and Padt....
.......... and Angor's's mind....
. was right....... Toby's's's mind....................................
Toby chirped happily and dove down to the second floor of the manor.
Following Toby's gaze, Angor saw himself on the balcony.
Toby landed on "Angor's" shoulder and rubbed his head affectionately.
"Come on, let's have some dried fish." Angor smiled at Toby.
Toby chirped again and hopped on "Angor's" shoulder in excitement.
Now Angor was sure that Toby changed the image of "surrounded by the sea" because he wanted to keep it all to himself.
And the target was "Angor", who was trapped in the manor on the isolated island.
Just as Froste said, Angor's resentment was suppressed, but it would still affect Toby's mind until he survived the calamity.
Even though the environment in the dream was much calmer than before, this series of images still revealed Toby's hidden thoughts.
The rest of the dream was still peaceful. Toby and "Angor" went to the dining hall and enjoyed the dried fish that filled the entire room. "Angor" was also lying in the middle of the pile of dried fish and munching on them one by one.
He looked at himself in the dream and saw how obsessed he was with the dried fish. He wanted to complain more and more in his mind.
He thought the rest of the dream would be fine. But Olga's maid walked into the dining room.
Toby glanced at her but didn't mind.
"Angor" frowned. "How can a servant come in when the master is eating? That's rude!"
Toby glared at "Olga". While the maid trembled in fear, Toby quickly pushed her out of the dining room.
"Angor" rubbed Toby's head with a smile. "You did well. A disobedient servant deserves to be taught a lesson."
Toby happily rubbed his head against "Angor's" hand.
Meanwhile, Angor's consciousness inside Toby's body was greatly shocked by what just happened.
When Angor entered Toby's dream for the first time, Toby didn't only show affection to "Angor" in the dream, but he also hated and envied all the maids in the manor who were close to "Angor".
But this time, Angor clearly felt that Toby still wanted to "Angor" for himself, but he didn't care about "Angor's" servants at all. This meant that Toby's jealousy was lessened.
Everything was going well, and Angor was glad to see it.
But what he didn't expect was that Toby was getting better, but a variable had appeared in his dream! It was "Angor" in the dream. Angor wouldn't treat "Olga's" maid like that. He even encouraged Toby to teach her a lesson.
Angor once read Freud's book about dreams. It clearly stated that the images in dreams were based on reality, but they didn't belong to it.
However, no matter how "detached" it was, the dreamer's image in the dream must be based on his or her perception of reality.
In other words, Toby's impression of "Angor" in the dream must be the same as how it viewed "Angor" in real life.
In reality, Angor never showed any disgust toward "Olga's" maid, nor did he say those words.
This meant that something happened in Toby's dream.
Either Toby's perception was wrong, or "Angor" had a problem.
Angor didn't think that Toby's perception was wrong. The dream itself was peaceful, so "Angor" was the only one who had a problem.
He turned around and looked at the "him" who felt a little awkward before.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the "Angor" in the dream was standing not far away from him with a smile.
His originally clear blue eyes were also faintly dyed with a layer of gloominess.
…
Angor walked out of the dream bridge and opened his eyes in reality.
He was still standing on the high platform of Dark Castle, surrounded by wizards. They were whispering to each other.
Greya was looking at Angor curiously. She wanted to know what Angor saw in his dream. However, when Angor opened his eyes, he frowned and fell into deep thought.
Greya's heart skipped a beat.
After a while, Angor finally woke up. Greya couldn't wait to ask about Toby's dream. Felicia and Sunders also looked at Angor curiously.
Since it was related to Toby's secret, Angor didn't tell them about it directly. Instead, he used their Spirit Bond to describe his dream in detail.
His description of "Angor" in the dream, as well as his strong doubts about "Angor", was very accurate.
"Toby himself didn't change, but the character he played in the dream changed drastically?" Greya frowned. "Something is wrong. I don't know much about dreams, but I'm sure that the main character of the dream is still the dreamer, while the other images are created by the dreamer's will. There's no way Toby would set you up as the only character in the dream. "
What on earth had gone wrong here?
Felicia said, "I have a guess. Is it possible that you're also an outsider in the dream, just like how you were in Toby's dream?"
"Outsider" didn't mean that someone else invaded Toby's dream. It meant that the "Angor" in the dream wasn't the product of Toby's will.
So who played the role of "Angor" in the dream?
"If we think of your dream as a play, then the villain must be you," Sunders said. "Think about it carefully. What are the villains in the play?" Sunders considered for a moment and said, "What are the villains in this play?
"Negative emotions?" Angor asked.
"That's not all. You did something else in the dream," Sunders said. "He was guiding Toby's thoughts."
Angor tried to recall what happened in the dream.
When Auri came to the dining hall, "Angor" in the dream was obviously angry at Auri. Seeing "Angor" angry, Toby attacked him without hesitation. After attacking Auri, "Angor" happily said, "A disobedient servant deserves to be taught a lesson."
It was obvious that "Angor" was trying to lead Toby to the right path.
But why would he do that?
With this question in mind, Angor tried to figure out what would happen in the end.
The answer was simple: Toby's personality changed drastically, and he fell into the abyss of negative emotions again.
Angor suddenly understood what "outsider" Felicia was talking about.
Perhaps it was the suppressed resentment in Toby's mind.
It was suppressed, but it didn't disappear completely.
Frost said that it would continue to affect Toby. Clearly, it was showing up now. In the dream, "Angor" was Toby's greatest bond, so "Angor" could easily guide Toby's thoughts.
He sighed in relief when he thought about this.
The resentment would affect Toby sooner or later. He just didn't know how Toby would express it. Now that he knew what it looked like, as long as he could find the right solution, he might be able to slow down or even prevent Toby from being influenced by the resentment.
