After returning to reality, Angor went to the dream wasteland first. He was going to post a new quest in the questing hall of the new city.
The mission requirements were: Select a total of six music scores from the past thousand years that were rare, unique, and soul-stirring.
The reward was 100 magic crystals. If he found a good one, the reward would be even higher.
Angor didn't have to pay for the reward himself. Brute Cavern would provide him with subsidies every year. Now that he had the same level of authority as the three ancestor souls, it was only natural that he would receive more. Therefore, Brute Cavern would be responsible for claiming the reward.
However, the quest had its limitations. Angor needed to know about the current music sheets in the southern wizarding region, so he needed a qualified appraiser.
Of course, Angor couldn't do it. First of all, he didn't have that much time, and second of all, he didn't know much about music sheets. He had to ask someone else.
Angor didn't know anyone who could help him, so he asked Leona to help him find an appraiser.
It didn't take long for Leona to find an appraiser. According to Leona, the appraiser was a student of a grand elder, and a genius.
Angor didn't ask who the appraiser was. He only asked what kind of reward the appraiser was looking for and skipped the quest.
After posting the quest, Angor went to see Jon again. He used an illusion to show Jon how Luigi cleared the first quest, and told Jon about Luigi's current predicament in the third quest.
Jon considered Luigi as a junior, so he was quite concerned about Luigi's situation. He also promised to help Luigi arrange some music sheets suitable for use in this world.
Angor was going to log off after saying goodbye to Jon. However, at this moment, he received a message from Tree Spirit.
"Are you there?" Angor felt a headache coming on.
Tree Spirit was an experienced surfer. Why didn't he learn how to get straight to the point? Moreover, his profile picture was bright, which meant that he was online. Since she knew that he was online and still sent a "Are you there?", she must have done it on purpose!
Angor didn't reply right away. Instead, he checked Tree Spirit's condition using God's View.
He was still on an airship heading to the new city.
Iron Granny, Hua Laishi, and Cameron were chatting happily. Tree Spirit was the only one who looked bored as if he was dozing off.
Angor began to suspect that Tree Spirit was bored and decided to have some fun since Angor was online.
He didn't want to be treated as a joke, but it was Tree Spirit who sent him the message. He considered for a moment and decided to send a bean-man emoji with its head tilted in confusion.
Tree Spirit: "I just saw Leona say that you posted a quest to find the harp score in the questing hall?"
Tree Spirit's question confirmed Angor's belief that Tree Spirit was just bored.
This question was completely out of the blue.
Most likely, it was because Cameron was next to him, and he couldn't just leave. However, he didn't have anything to talk about, so he could only find someone else to talk about it.
Leona was probably the last person he was interested in.
"Leona," Leona.
"You're looking for music scores for your mentor?"
"Yes, but not entirely."
Tree Spirit: "???"
Since he didn't have anything else to do, Angor briefly told Tree Spirit about Luigi. However, he didn't tell Tree Spirit that Luigi was from the Mirror Realm, nor did he tell Tree Spirit about Fairyland. He only described Luigi as one of Jon's students.
According to Tree Spirit, Jon's student was taking the entrance exam for a national music troupe. Luigi's skills were good enough, but the troupe didn't lack skills. So, Luigi wanted to perform rare and unique music in order to get a higher position in the exam. It would be best if he could get into the top three of the troupe.
Tree Spirit didn't doubt Tree Spirit's words. If Luigi was really Jon's student, then he must be close to Angor. It was reasonable that Angor agreed to help him find music scores so that he could get a higher honor.
Tree Spirit didn't ask further. This was a mortal's business anyway. Even if Tree Spirit was bored, he didn't need to use mortal matters as his main topic.
Tree Spirit and Angor chatted for a while. They talked about all kinds of topics, most of which Tree Spirit found because he was bored.
Angor listened for a while and lost interest.
Tree Spirit sensed the change in Angor's mood, so he ended the conversation after saying one last thing.
Unlike the other boring topics, the last one had something to do with Angor.
Earlier, Wizard Kanter asked Angor to help Keely with something. Angor already agreed. However, Keely offended the entire aroma wizard circle, and Angor wasn't sure if he could help her. It would be better if a master aroma wizard could ask for help.
Angor had his eyes set on Wizard Portia, another master alchemist from the research department.
However, Angor didn't know how to contact Portia directly, so he had to ask Mushroom Witch Regina, who was still in Brute Cavern.
"Regina replied. She agreed to help you contact Portia and put in a good word for Keely. But she's not sure if Portia will help you in the end," Tree Spirit said.
Kiosk
"I understand. As long as I can get in touch with Portia," Angor replied.
Tree Spirit said, "Regina will contact Portia in the next two days. I'll tell you the situation later. You'd better not disappear for the next two days. "
"Don't worry, I won't." Angor replied obediently.
After saying goodbye to Tree Spirit, Angor logged off.
…
He returned to his soundproof room.
Angor cleared his mind and began to think about what happened in the Dream Crystal.
Silver Coral Island, World Grind …
Angor didn't expect to see two wonderlands controlled by special NPCs in such a short time.
However, this also proved that "Wonderland" was created around "people". Back when there were only Angor and Laplace in the Dream Crystal, the chance of triggering a wonderland dungeon was very small. However, as more and more new residents came, such as Tomorrow Town, Silver Coral Island, World Grind, and so on, all the other wonderlands quickly showed up.
Angor didn't know about the existence of special NPCs until the first batch of new residents arrived.
From these details, Angor could tell that the core of Wonderland was "people" or "new residents". As the number of new residents increased, more and more wonderlands like this would appear.
Angor didn't know whether this was a good or bad thing. He could only wait and see. In the future, when the new residents and the wonderlands reached a certain dynamic balance, he would be able to see the underlying logic of this new authority.
Angor didn't waste his time. He began to look up the questions he encountered during his trip to the Dream Crystal.
First, there was the Uriel dungeon related to Luigi.
The NPC in this dungeon had a strange status called "Dreaming".
Angor could distinguish the buffs, debuffs, and other statuses that appeared in the wonderland dungeon. Different statuses had different levels of importance to him.
For example, in the World Grind, anyone who got scratched by a Grindman would be affected for 90 hours. Angor didn't pay much attention to the dungeon because he could guess what would happen in a "survival" dungeon.
However, the "Dreaming" status in the Uriel dungeon was different. In Angor's opinion, it was much more important than the mutated Grindmen.
The mutated Grindmen were created by the wonderland dungeon itself. Considering the height of the "Wonderland", the "Wonderland" should have absolute control over the status.
The "Dreaming" status was still controllable to a certain extent. However, it also meant that the "Wonderland" authority was willing to compromise.
Why else would the third main quest be activated at different times each day? Because the "Dreaming" status still had certain variables.
To be able to force the authority of Dreamwalking Wonderland into a state of compromise, what was the clue?
What was the "Dreaming" status? Why could Luigi only enter the third main quest in the "Dreaming" status? What were the variables involved in the "Dreaming" status?
With these questions in mind, Angor sank his mind into the "Wonderland" authority.
Time passed. The sun, moon, and stars changed again. When the clock on the wall rang again, it was noon of a new day.
Angor opened his eyes at the same time.
Every time he used the "Tree of Authority", he would receive a large amount of information. Although he didn't seem to be using up much energy with his eyes closed, his spirit was still receiving crazy amounts of information. It was only one night, and he already felt extremely tired.
However, his expression was tired, but his eyes were extremely bright.
After a night of searching, he did not know how "Dreaming" worked, but he did find some information about it.
This was why Angor was so excited about the "dream".
Because "dreamt" really meant what it said … dreamt!
However, it wasn't the "Wonderland Dungeon" that was dreaming. It was the so-called "NPC" in the dungeon that "dreamed" about the dungeon.
Angor was excited because "Dreaming" could directly affect reality.
This was the first authority Angor had ever seen that could connect with reality.
Angor calmed himself down and began to organize the information he found.
First, "Dreaming" could only be triggered by NPCs who were still alive in reality.
Angor didn't find any further information, but he could tell that some NPCs in Wonderland Dungeons might still be alive in reality.
It was precisely because some NPCs were still alive in the real world that they could trigger the "dream" state.
As for how NPCs were connected to people in reality, Angor didn't know. But as far as he knew, most Wonderland Dungeons were created from the dreams of living beings.
The first Wonderland Dungeons were created after the "Cleaners" sent by the Dream Realm died.
These "Cleaners" were basically monsters that appeared in the dreams of living beings. Or rather, the source of nightmares.
If the person who had the nightmare was still alive in reality, then the Wonderland Dungeon created by the Dream Realm would be connected to the person in reality.
Of course, this was only Angor's guess. He didn't know whether it was true or not.
Secondly, NPPC in the "dream" state was different.
Normal NPCs were actually "gifted subjects" created by the authority of Wonderland. They were given certain personalities and memories, as well as a corresponding operating logic.
Dreaming NPCs, on the other hand, meant that they were taken over by people in reality. They had a more independent personality and an unfathomable human nature.
It was also because of this incomprehensible human nature that certain variables appeared in the NPCs in the "dream" state.
Third, everything that the NPC experienced in the "dream" state would be reflected in reality.
To put it simply, everything an "Dreaming" NPC went through in the Wonderland Dungeon would become a dream in the end.
On the other hand, if a person in reality wanted to enter the Wonderland Dungeon and become an "Dreaming" NPC, he or she had to do something first: sleep.
Only when a person was asleep could he or she dream. Only when he or she dreamed could he or she enter the Wonderland Dungeon and become an "Dreaming" NPC.
This was the second variable.
When did people in reality sleep? This was a variable that the authority of Wonderland couldn't control.
Some people slept for a while during the day and a while at night. Some only slept in the middle of the night. Some people fainted because they were injured in reality and slept for several days in a row.
It was precisely because of the uncertainty of sleeping time and sleeping state that the dream state would change daily.
This was why the notification Luigi received from Wonderland clearly stated: [The time of challenge per day is not fixed. The specific time of challenge will be announced by the Wonderland. ]
The authority of Wonderland couldn't control when people in reality slept.
The only thing the authority of Wonderland could control was that when a mortal dreamer fell asleep, he or she would sleep every day. With the body of a mortal, especially an elderly person, even if they could stay up late, they wouldn't be able to last for too long.
This was why.
The authority of the Immortal Realm would say, "You can challenge him once per day," because Uriel would probably sleep every day in the real world.
This was all the information Angor found about "Dreaming".
In summary, he found two things: the variable, and the fact that Uriel was still alive in reality.
There wasn't much information, and there was almost no deeper information. However, the information on the surface was enough to make him excited.
Dreaming in Wonderland could affect reality!
So far, it only affected the dreams of mortals, but the future was promising!
Besides, with Dreaming in Wonderland as a precedent, did that mean there would be more authorities that could affect reality in the future?
Just thinking about it made Angor excited.
In the past, he could only use the Dream Whelk to drag inanimate objects into the dream wasteland and affect the Dream Domain through reality. But now, he could do the opposite and affect reality in the Dream Domain.
Although this kind of influence was not something he could control, it was still a big step forward!
Again, the future was promising! Very promising!
Speaking of which, the more he learned about the "Dreaming" status, the more questions he had.
For example, Angor had two questions that he couldn't figure out right now.
