Chapter 169: Dreaming Again

When everyone heard Gao Wen's words, they were shocked: "The Sleeper forever?!"

This was completely beyond their expectations. Even Hedy, who had always been calm, could hardly hold her staff. She stared at the mercenary leader who had fallen to the ground and said, "This mercenary is pretended to be a cult of the Eternal Sleeper?!"

"No, he was just used as a springboard by the Eternal Sleeper," Gao Wen rubbed his eyebrows and said the information he received from the cultists. "This guy probably had a nightmare at some time in the past, and a powerful Eternal Sleeper cult left coordinates in his mind with the help of the nightmare. In this way, he became a one-time 'carrier' that could allow the cult to 'come' quickly 'arrival' in need."

Such a strange fact made Amber get goosebumps: "How come this kind of cult sounds more evil than what kind of things will eventually perish?!"

"The Sleeper is indeed more strange than the demise of all things," Pittman said in a deep voice. As a druid who has truly received the inheritance, he knows a lot about the cultist things. "The Sleeper is the depravity of the God of Dreams. The church of the God of Dreams fell and transformed. They were originally priests who soothe people and drive away nightmares, but after the demise, they became experts in weaving nightmares and fears. The most powerful bishops of the Sleeper have the ability to walk in human dreams, and they can connect people with dreams, so that they can make themselves more elusive and unpredictable. Their special abilities make them more terrifying than ordinary cultists, but what is more good news is that... The Sleeper's behavior is not as extremely bloody as the Demise of All Things or the Son of the Storm. They just pull people into various nightmares or visions, and occasionally do some kidnapping, but rarely take the initiative to kill."

Hearing this, Hetty also said thoughtfully: "I have also heard of the Eternal Midlanders Cult. They do rarely create large-scale deaths, but their actions are more bizarre than other cults. I personally feel that their cult groups that seem to hide some huge plans and do not kill much are more terrifying."

Gao Wen deeply felt the same: "As long as it is a dark sect, there is nothing that is not dangerous. If they don't kill people, it only means that they will do things that are more terrible than killing, and those things are even more difficult to guard against than creating killing. Besides... The Eternal Sleeper is the only dark sect except the Storm Son that will deal with everything that will eventually die. All things that will eventually die and the Storm Son are both cruel and bloody sects. The Eternal Sleeper who can get along with them... cannot be a good person."

"The more I heard it, the more I became more and more terrified," Amber couldn't help rubbing her arms, as if she was about to rub her goosebumps off. Then she looked up at Gao Wen curiously, "Then were you dragged into their 'nightmare' by the sleeper just now? Then what? Did you run out?"

Gao Wen smiled: "We competed in the world of consciousness, and then that guy died. He is probably not a powerful character."

Amber said oh, and Hedy also looked at his Taizu and Zuzu Grandpa in admiration and conviction. Only Pitman looked up and down with suspicion: "Will the Eternal Sleeper who can make the mind come... be a small character?"

"Anyway, it's not as good as me," Gao Wen shrugged, "Anyway, that guy is dead, so it doesn't matter how powerful he was in his lifetime."

Hetty seemed a little worried: "But the key is why a cultist in Eternal Sleeper attacked you... The last time the death of all things can be said to be an accident. The real target of the fallen druid is Tanzan Town, but this time the Eternal Sleeper is obviously coming for you. The mercenary leader clearly called out your name when he was 'occupied'!"

Gao Wen's expression became serious, and he knew that Hetty's worries were reasonable.

The resurrected Gowan Cecil, indeed, has begun to attract the attention of certain dark forces.

Although there are not many memories read from the cult's remnant soul, it can also piece together some of his recent thoughts and experiences. Gao Wen can be sure that the cult has been active in the southern border for many years, and he has left nightmares coordinates on thousands of victims in this area, and the mercenary leader is exactly one of them. The fact that he captured the slave capture operation was just a coincidence, but the eternal sleeper behind the mercenary leader has been targeting him for not a day or two.

From the conversation, I learned that the cultist cared about a secret voyage from Gowan Cecil and the so-called "Eternal Dark Sea", so after Gowan lifted up the coffin and spread the news, the cultist probably had already planned this contact.

The mercenary leader who happened to fall into Gao Wen's hands just gave him a perfect opportunity in advance, but the cult himself would not have thought that he would just fall to death in this opportunity...

A bishop of the Eternal Sleeper died so unknown, but this does not mean the end of the harassment. Gao Wen believes that there must be other dark sects or mysterious organizations staring at his so-called "Eternal Dark Sea" and "Secret Waiting" that may involve a huge secret. It is enough to make the most vigilant and hidden cult bishops take risks, and naturally it can arouse the curiosity of other hidden people.

But the problem is that Gao Wen himself is also very curious about what the so-called "Eternal Dark Sea" is!

At this point, the only thing Gao Wen can comfort himself is that the bishop of the Eternal Sleeper died very neatly. He died in the territory of the Cecil family without causing any trouble. This may give some warnings to some snoops.

Anyway, if there are still those who are brave enough to come and cause trouble, Gao Wen has no other choice, so he can only continue. After all, he is now with his family, so he can't be as timid as the wind, right?

Pitman looked at Gao Wen with a serious expression, then looked at Hetty with a worried face. He sighed softly, and said with a serious expression: "Mr. Duke, I think it's time for you to think about my resignation application this time..."

"If you really want to run away, you will be gone now. Are you the kind of person who will greet your boss before running away?" Gao Wen glanced at the druid's shame, then waved his hand, "Anyway, I'll continue when I come. Three or two small fish and shrimps can't cause much storm. I don't believe that those cultists who have been holding their tails together have dared to organize a large army to fight now."

Then he glanced at the mage mercenary sitting next to him who was still groggy.

Seeing this, Heti immediately asked, "Ancestor, do you still have to continue interrogation?"

Gao Wen shook his head: "No need anymore. Keep him locked up and see the situation after a while."

He did not consider executing the mage mercenary directly, but he did not intend to let the other party go to waste rescue operations in the northern wilderness as a battle. The mercenary in front of him was the prisoner of war of the Cecil family. According to the laws of this era, such prisoners of war would be directly regarded as slaves, and lifelong labor would be used to make up for the weapons and manpower that his master had lost when he captured him on the battlefield. However, Gao Wen had not yet thought about what kind of labor reform to arrange for such "prisoners of war".

Cecil's leader is short of people now, so Gao Wen doesn't mind letting such a prisoner play his value by acting as labor. This is much more cost-effective than extortion or exile. However, the other party is a second-level spellcaster after all. He threw him directly into the mine in the west to mine and wasted, and Gao Wen was not at ease, so he was not sure what he wanted to do... he really had to think about it carefully.

Hetty had no objection to Gao Wen's arrangement, but she still cared about what the mercenaries were trying to capture refugees in the wilderness in the northern Baishui River: "We will not investigate the Kant family's hiring these mercenaries to capture refugees?"

"Ah...yes," Gao Wen couldn't help but rub his forehead. It seemed that the confrontation with the cult in the world of consciousness still had an impact. He had completely forgotten the original purpose of interrogating the two mercenaries. "I'm a little tired and forgot about this. Well, Hetty, Pittman, leave this to you two. While the potion and ritual effects were not over yet, ask why the Kant family was catching slaves in Frost Moon. I have to go back and rest, and you can tell me the result of the interrogation later."

After arranging the affairs here, Gao Wen returned to his tent.

He was indeed exhausted. The exhaustion deep in the spiritual world took so long to emerge, making him realize that his confrontation with the cult was not as easy as he thought.

Even as a satellite spirit, it is not so easy to mobilize the huge memory to swallow another mind.

Not long after returning to the tent, he fell asleep on his bed and quickly fell asleep.

He "opened" his eyes in a strange place and found himself standing in a long corridor.

This corridor is a typical Ansu style, with the same interior and support structure as the castle buildings favored by the southern nobles. The support columns on both sides of the corridor are half buried in the walls, and each support column is inlaid with a lit magic crystal stone lamp.

But this is not the old castle of the Cecil family, nor the Leslie family castle in Tanzan town, nor the inside of any castle that Gao Wen knew in his memory.

Almost at the first moment, Gao Wen realized that he might have entered another dream, and he entered a state of awake consciousness. The experience he had just contacted with the cultists made him look alert and couldn't help but mutter in his heart:

"Why is there another wave so soon? Are these cultists the gourd kids who saved grandpa?"

But soon, he found that the situation this time was different from before. He did not wake up in a completely chaotic space, and no one was rumored into his dream. He also had the feeling that he could wake up at any time as long as he wanted. It was more like a normal dream than being dragged into the imaginary space by the eternal sleeper.

The only difference from falling into a dream is that you maintain an unusual awakening.

No, there are more differences...

Gao Wenxin looked at his hand with some emotion and consciously outlined the form of an object. The next second, he found that there was an extra can of Coke in his hand.
