Firewood built into the shape of a spire burned on the clearings in the forest.
With the beeping sound, Mars rose up under the night wind.
Zhu Jue sat cross-legged by the bonfire, with his right elbow against his thighs, and his palm was supported on his chin. His empty left hand pulled the weeds beside him, and he threw them into the bonfire in front. The flames suddenly rose two or three inches and then retracted at a faster speed.
Sitting beside him was Leonard, constantly opening his mouth to say something.
Further away are the other people in the Dream Tour, some of whom are treated with each other's wounds, some are lying on the blanket to rest. The only thing that remains unchanged is that these people's eyes are focused on Zhu Jue, a mysterious person.
Although he had denied his identity without hesitation before, Zhu Jue still failed to leave smoothly.
On the one hand, Leonard simply did not believe Zhu Jue's denial of the three consecutive times.
On the other hand, Zhu Jue found out after asking about it that the large library in Solan City was not the place he imagined to be able to enter and exit at will.
Solan City does not exclude foreign tourists. As long as they are not wanted criminals everywhere in Fantasy Land, they can enter after paying a certain amount of coins.
But entering the city does not mean you can wander around.
For example, the steep street market in the city specializes in selling cargo carried by gorgeous sailboats from overseas must be recognized by the guard before entering.
There is also the iconic gilded spire of Solan City. It is OK to admire it, but if you get too close, you will be targeted by the guards. If you move a little more out of order, you may be sent to prison.
The big library that Zhu Jue is going to is a more special place.
In addition to the function of storing books, the Great Library itself is also the place where the priests in Solan City live, and to some extent, they also have some functions of temples.
Therefore, it is only open to the local residents of Solan City, and is undoubtedly more strict with foreigners. If you are not devout pilgrims, you must go through inspection if you want to enter the large library, which is only a part of the public area of ​​the large library.
"If you want to enter the internal area or seek a priest, someone must recommend it, otherwise a foreigner like us will not be allowed to enter."
Leonard took a bacon sausage from the bonfire and handed it to Zhu Jue. Leonard said this very bluntly.
Although Zhu Jue always mentioned that he was going to the big library, he did not disclose any additional information.
Leonard still guessed that Zhu Jue, the boss behind Shuojin Chamber of Commerce, came here specifically not just to enter the big library to borrow a book, but to have deeper reasons.
And this is his bargaining chip!
In fact, Zhu Jue was originally a little annoyed why Elder Atal didn't mention any of these things when he was in the Usa Temple. At least he had to give himself a certificate that could be connected with the high priests.
Later, I suddenly remembered that Elder Atal had said before that he had not left Usa for decades, and it was normal to not know the outside world. If he really told Zhu Jue in detail, it would be horrifying.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jue shook his head helplessly and glanced at Leonard's expression. Now it seemed that he could only rely on the people from this dream brigade.
"I heard from your tone... do you have a way to let me in?"
Zhu Jue naturally couldn't tell Leonard about the magic mirror, and he swallowed half of the meat sausage and asked without looking back.
"Of course, we are currently in a cooperative relationship with the priests in the Great Library of Solan City. Although it is not guaranteed that your demands will be fulfilled, I can take you to see that priest."
Leonard, who expected Zhu Jue to ask this, responded without hesitation,
"As long as you promise to do us a favor, I will take you to the big library."
"I have to know what you want me to do before deciding whether to agree to the deal."
Only by doing things can you gain something. Zhu Jue has always been clear about this principle.
The premise is that the effort is equivalent to the harvest. If the latter is more, it would be unhappy. If the former is more, it would be unhappy.
"You saw it too, several of my companions were injured."
Seeing that something was going to be discussed, Leonard also corrected his sitting position... In fact, it turned from a squatting position to a sitting position.
"Of course, and they are all injuries that have been suffered recently, and the bloody smell has not dissipated."
He raised his hand and slapped his nose, and Zhu Jue's gaze swept across the people around him again.
Not all the people surrounding him just now. Leonard's team had 10 people, but two of them were in a coma, one was injured in the leg, and two people who were caring for the coma, only five had appeared before.
"We broke out in battle with the Dream Eaters in Solan City. The most recent one was yesterday afternoon. As you can see, we strategically retreated... and we have a very important thing to complete in Solan City. We must solve those dream Eaters. You have killed the Dream Eaters before, right? I want your help to get rid of those guys."
Leonard paid attention to Zhu Jue's expression while speaking, and then said,
"I have met the gentleman. His strength is not as strong as me, but he must be better than most of the people present. If you can replace him, you must not be weak. The gap between us and the Dream Eater is not big. Now we also have more than half of our combat power. What we lack is high-end combat power like you that can make a final decision."
He deliberately emphasized that his own strength is stronger than that of a gentleman and that his side still has a lot of combat power. Leonard doesn't want Zhu Jue to think that his side is all weak.
The reason is very simple.
The weak are not qualified to negotiate!
"Ha, I didn't see it in Pasfica last time. You guy's face is still a bit thick-skinned."
After thinking for a while, Zhu Jue suddenly sneered and spoke.
These words with some ridicule immediately aroused a lot of reactions from the people next to them, and the originally relaxed casual atmosphere disappeared.
It seems that Leonard has a great position in the hearts of these people.
Zhu Jue thought so in his heart, but there was no tension on his face.
"Everyone is injured. What should I do if I have to rest!"
After staring at Zhujue for two seconds, Leonard said loudly.
As the words came to an end, the tension suddenly collapsed.
"I have experienced your strength before, and it's pretty good. Including them, such a team was beaten so hard that even Solan City didn't dare to go back. Tell me this is a strategic retreat?"
Zhu Jue pulled the corner of his mouth, leaving no face for Leonard, and directly exposed it,
"I'm afraid I want to escape!"
This time I entered the dreamland, Zhu Jue's original plan was to go to the Solan City Library as soon as possible to obtain the location of "Naket's Manuscript" and return to the real world.
Now that there are some unplanned deviations, he can only find ways to get the action back on track.
But this does not mean that he will agree to other people's requests without any bottom line.
According to Leonard, they have very important things in Solan City, and the entire Solan City covers a much larger area than Neil City. How could they not find a place if they really want to hide? If they really can't, just go to the big library to hide, and have to retreat to such a wilderness?
There is only one explanation for the current situation.
The arrival point of the Dream Medicine is nearby, and the return location is naturally here.
Leonard and others are preparing to give up the mission and return to the real world!
The team of dream eaters who can force them to give up their actions on their own initiative and even dare not stay in the fantasy dream world for a long time have no need to say much about their strength.
"Okay...you're right, we're really planning to return."
He stroked his forehead awkwardly. Even if he didn't want to admit it, Leonard knew that it was an unavoidable fact that his group of people appeared in this.
If it weren't for the extraordinary thing this time, they had worked hard for nearly half a month before they could barely improve. The opportunity they finally got was really unwilling to give up like this now.
I chose to temporarily stop near the evacuation point in order to hope that someone or thing can bring about a turning point in the current situation.
Otherwise, he would not continue to stay in the dreamland when there were team members unconscious.
"There are heavy casualties. The opponent has occupied Solan City and its strength is far superior to you. I have only one person. If I want to help you, I will definitely have to bear great pressure."
Zhu Jue slowly talked about their current disadvantages, completely ignoring the angry eyes next to him.
"I know this kind of demand is a bit difficult. Since you don't want to, then just pretend that I haven't said it. I will still tell you the location of Solan City, but the introduction is...."
"Who said I don't want to?"
Looking at Leonard with a surprised expression, Zhu Jue grinned and continued,
“I mean you have to increase the price!”
Chapter completed!
