The night went by.
The glowing plant absorbed light from the surface and released it underground. When the entire Windmill Town returned to the embrace of light, the dancer who had been immersed in the nightmare aura for more than ten hours finally returned to normal.
As they had guessed before, after the dancer was infected by the living thread, she obtained a dancer's memory. In the past few days of blending with the living thread, the dancer's muscles also remembered the dance movements. It could be said that even if the living thread was stripped from her body, she was still a qualified dancer now.
However, just like the others, the dancer did not remember anything other than dancing.
The only thing she remembered was that she was mending a torn sleeve for a customer before she fainted. She had no memory of the time when she was infected by the Lifeline.
"In other words, after being infected by the Lifeline, your consciousness will enter a state similar to hibernation," Greya said. "That's strange."
Greya's current state was similar to the Lifeline's. Her soul occupied the body and forced the consciousness of the body to go into hibernation. Greya knew how troublesome it was to stay in this state.
When two consciousnesses existed in the same body at the same time, even if one of them was strong and the other was weak, the two consciousnesses would be affected by each other over a long period of time.
In order to avoid being affected, the simplest way was to destroy the consciousness from the start.
But the Lifeline did not do that. Instead, it took a more complicated step. This was what Greya found strange.
"Perhaps, the consciousness of the lifeline is not strong, and it cannot bear the acting consciousness that an actor needs. So instead of killing the human consciousness directly, the Lifeline chose to slowly invade and merge with the human consciousness, "Angor said. He did not come up with this idea for no reason.
Due to Angor's talent, nightmare creatures would not harm him. They could communicate with him to a limited extent as long as they did not go against their own goals. After interacting with nightmare creatures for a long time, Angor learned something about them.
As far as Angor knew, most of the nightmare creatures were intelligent. Some of them were even smarter than most humans. The rainbow and penta-colored dragonflies were less intelligent and could only understand a limited language. The parasites in Midnight Sovereign and the Lifeline were even less intelligent. They had to rely on the human's consciousness to think. Therefore, they would not destroy the human's consciousness even if they infected them.
Greya agreed with Angor's explanation. However, there were still some problems that she could not explain.
"The process of suppressing the consciousness of the human body and using the consciousness of the human body to think is actually not simple. The Lifeline is a low-intelligence creature, so it can't do this. Unless … "
Everyone understood what Greya was trying to say.
Unless, all the actions of the lifeline had long been set up by the mastermind behind the scenes.
This pointed to the biggest question in everyone's mind. Who was the mastermind behind the Lifeline? Was it really Yorkshire? Or was it someone else? Also, the Lifeline was confirmed to be a nightmare creature. But why could it survive without the nightmare aura? Which of the "improvements, evolutions, or adaptations" mentioned by Sunders? Could such improvements, evolutions, or adaptations be applied to all other nightmare creatures?
No one could answer these questions, but they still weighed heavily on everyone's mind. Nightmare creatures were too destructive and deadly. Due to the nightmare aura, they could only live in the interlayer space. If they no longer needed the nightmare aura and walked out of the interlayer space, it would be bad news for the wizarding world.
After a moment of silence, Tree Spirit chuckled. "We have a solution to the Lifeline problem. At least we won't run into them near Brute Cavern. We'll talk about the rest later. "
Tree Spirit paused and looked at Angor with a smile. "Angor just returned to Brute Cavern. It's time to celebrate. Don't think about these things."
"Celebrate?" Angor was surprised.
"To celebrate you becoming a wizard." Tree Spirit winked. "Do you want me to hold a party for you? I can open the Tree of Eternity's Pool of Life to you for free. You can hold a party there. "
The Pool of Life was located deep inside the trunk of the Tree of Eternity. It was the core of the tree. The life energy there was so strong that ordinary people could get rid of all their ailments by staying there for a few minutes. It was like a strengthened version of Moonlight's Blessing. Wizards who went to the Pool of Life would benefit even more.
Angor only heard about this place, but he never went there. Now that Tree Spirit mentioned it, he couldn't help but feel curious.
But in the end, Angor shook his head. "No need for a party."
Tree Spirit: "Why?"
Of course, a party was unnecessary. Most wizards wouldn't hold one when they advanced. However, Tree Spirit had another reason for bringing it up.
Tree Spirit knew what was on Rein's mind. Rein believed that Angor was too far away from everyone's sight.
Angor was like an isolated island in Brute Cavern. Apart from his teacher, Sunders, he had no contact with anyone else. Angor didn't even use the resources given to him by Brute Cavern. If Angor was an ordinary wizard on this island, it wouldn't be a big deal. They could just let him wander around and save money by not using the organization's resources. However, Angor was a very important person in the organization.
Alchemy skills and a member of the R&D department. These two things alone were enough for Rein to pay attention to.
Angor's identity could even affect the future of Brute Cavern.
However, Rein had to confirm Angor's attitude first. If Angor truly cared about Brute Cavern as much as Sunders did, then Rein could use Angor's identity to change the future of Brute Cavern.
However, if Angor was still as aloof as before, Rein would never trust Angor and put his trust in Angor's future.
After all, Magi's nature was to pursue freedom, and their actions were often unruly. No one knew if Angor would suddenly announce his departure from Brute Cavern one day.
To avoid such a situation, Rein had to at least confirm Angor's attitude first.
The banquet mentioned by Tree Spirit was actually a manifestation of this.
If Angor was willing to hold a banquet and officially meet all the wizards in Brute Cavern, he would at least have the idea of joining the islands.
After that, Rein would ask Angor some questions about his attitude. As long as there were no mistakes, Rein could start making plans for Brute Cavern's future.
But now, Angor refused.
Tree Spirit's expression did not change. He smiled and said, "Many wizards are curious about you. Don't you want to get in touch with them?"
