Chapter 3582: First Meeting

"The leader is a tall and thin man wearing a blue and black robe named Camillo."

Through voice transmission, Angel described the travelers who came in to Luigi in the yard.

"He is very thin and tall, with slightly curly hair, gray-green eyes, and prominent cheekbones..."

This kind of appearance will either lead to a mean person, or it will lead to a strong character. Camillo, on the other hand, is probably somewhere in between.

It has both a cold style and a bit of scholarly elegance.

"His robe is a bit like a mage's robe in a classical palace." Angel muttered in a low voice, "Could this person be a spell caster?"

Luigi: "A spell caster? It seems like you should be more careful when dealing with him."

Spellcasters among NPCs can definitely cast spells.

Unlike them, they can only use fairyland props or some magic pattern skin scrolls that Angel pulled into the Dream Crystal Plain...

Therefore, when facing the spellcaster NPC, it is best not to make mistakes.

If the highest threat level is level 5, Luigi sets this "mage" called Camillo at level 4.

"Behind Camillo is a man wearing only a gold vest and trousers." Angel: "The shirt and vest are not buttoned up, as if to show off his muscles."

But I have to say that compared to Camillo, this man is even bigger. Almost two Camillos can compare with him.

Not only tall, but also very muscular.

I don't know if it's the color of the vest or the man's physique, but there seems to be a vague sheen of oil flickering between the muscles.

"His name is...Sun." Angel said, "If you want to imitate the Sun God, this name is actually quite suitable."

Luigi nodded secretly. Generally speaking, muscular men like this have muscles but no brains.

If facing the sun, the threat level would be level 2.

After all, muscular men should have some strength.

"Behind the sun is a petite woman, wearing a one-piece and slim-fitting moon-white dress... no shoes, only a crescent anklet on the thumb."

"She looks very delicate...and she should be a pair with the sun in front of her."

Luigi: "Why do you say that?"

Angel: "Because her name is the moon..."

Of course, the most important thing is that although the sun has not looked back at the moon, his body has been blocking the moon, acting like a protector.

But it is a little different from the protection of a bodyguard, with a little more "love".

If Luigi realizes something, if he is paired with the sun and is a little woman protected by the sun, then the threat level should be lower than that of the sun.

Just level 1.

Angel: "By the way, there is a little black cat following the moon's feet. It is about half a year old in size and has a shallow crescent mark between its eyebrows."

When Luigi heard that it was a black cat, his expression immediately became serious: "What's its name?"

Angel: "The black cat is tired."

Luigi murmured in a low voice: "It has a name, and there are special crescent marks. This should be a hidden boss. The threat level is tentatively rated at level 4."

Angel: "???"

Angel looked confused. He knew before that Luigi was setting a threat level for this group of people so that they could deal with it better in the future.

But the threat level of muscular men and beautiful women is level 1 and level 2, and a black cat that looks like an adult is set to level 4.

How do you divide this?

Luigi silently transmitted the message: "Have you ever heard of "The Epic of Palme"?"

Angel: "No."

Luigi: "The Epic of Palme is a suite poem. It tells the story of an amnesiac avenger. In the process of searching for his memory, he discovered his enemy, and finally composed a tragic poem with his enemy."

"One of the articles tells the story of the avenger's recognition of his enemy. It turns out that the enemy is the little goblin who has been by his side since he woke up from amnesia."

"It looks the most harmless, but I didn't expect it to be the ultimate devil."

After Luigi finished telling the story, he said with emotion: "Many times, the most inconspicuous things are the most terrifying."

Although Luigi didn't say it explicitly, Angel probably understood that he thought the black cat Tiredness looked the most harmless, but was probably the most terrifying existence.

This is a bit similar to the saying in the novels on the holographic tablet that "women, children and the blind are the least to be messed with".

To put it nicely, it is called "hiding clumsiness"; to put it badly, it is "pretending to be a pig".

But this kind of situation appears more in storybooks, novels, and compiled poems. In reality... it's still rare to see it.

"What else? Didn't you say there were four people? Now you just said three." Luigi continued.

Angel also moved his gaze back from the moon.

Looking at the girl at the end, Angel's eyes flashed with doubts.

"The last one is a girl wearing soft armor and an armored skirt, with a cape on her back..." Angel: "I don't know who she is. Unlike the others, she is not surrounded by fairyland information. So I don’t know her name either.”

Luigi: "Without a name, isn't she an NPC?"

Angel continued to shake his head: "It's impossible to judge."

Luigi nodded understandingly: "Then the threat level of this person must be 5. This mysterious girl, who also appears in the finale, is most likely the core figure of this traveler team."

"What do you think?"

Luigi asked Angel, but after he finished speaking, Angel did not respond for a long time.

After several seconds, Angel whispered: "I feel that this version update of Wonderland has given us a big bomb..."

Luigi: "What's wrong?"

Angel whispered: "I just heard their conversation. They seem to be from the West Land, and they are likely to enter Wonderland through Gulemo's dream..."

Luigi: "???"

...

On the other side, when Ms. Moon and others walked out of the passage, they found that they came to a long street shrouded in fog.

The whole long street was a broken cobblestone road.

The surroundings were completely unclear, all shrouded in fog. The only thing that could be seen was a lighted attic not far away.

"Is this a strange dream?" Camillo murmured in a low voice. From the perspective of the environment, it was no different from an ordinary dream.

Because many people dream, the environment and background in the dream cannot be so detailed, so it will be presented in the form of "fog" or "virtualization".

This is how it is presented here.

The buildings in the distance were all unclear, covered by the fog, and only the outlines could be seen.

"But speaking of it, this place feels a little familiar." Camillo: "It seems to be Dawn City?"

Camillo is from the Dasman Empire and has also been to Dawn City. Judging from the outline of the buildings in the fog, it looks very much like the style of Dawn City.

As soon as Camillo finished speaking, Blanche whispered: "This is indeed Dawn City. I saw the church with lights on in the distance. That should be the Glory Church in the center of the city."

Blanche's words confirmed that the scene in the dream was a replica of Dawn City.

Camillo was not too surprised after hearing this.

"That's right, this is Gulemo's dream. Gulemo himself lives in Dawn City, so it's normal to have Dawn City in the dream."

While the master and apprentice were talking, they also looked at Mr. Sun and Ms. Moon, wanting to see what they thought. But Mr. Sun and Ms. Moon remained silent, their expressions looked quite serious, and they didn't intend to participate in the discussion.

Even the black cat Juanjuan didn't show a lazy attitude at this time, but looked around, as if looking for something.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the attic with the lights on over there should be the end point of this strange dream." Camillo: "Are we going there now? Or should we go around and look around?"

As soon as Camillo finished speaking, Juan Juan said: "I just went around and found that I couldn't get in at all, as if there was a wall blocking it. It looks like the building is hidden in the fog, but it's actually a pile of high walls built of air."

So, there's no need to go around, the only target is the attic with the lights on.

After everyone reached a consensus, they walked towards the attic.

More than ten seconds later, they arrived outside the courtyard gate.

The fence of the courtyard is a hollow grid cast with molten iron, and the scene in the courtyard can be seen at a glance.

Under the big tree, two people were sitting opposite each other.

The handsome young man played the harp, and the melodious and quiet sound of the harp, with a sense of freedom and laziness, made people feel calm involuntarily.

Another middle-aged man with white hair was sitting under a tree, enjoying the sound of the piano with his eyes closed while clapping his hands.

This was like a picture of a piano club.

Ms. Moon silently looked at the two people in the yard. They knew the middle-aged man with gray hair, Gulemo.

But they had never seen the young man opposite who looked unrestrained and poetic.

Could he be "Luigi"?

If it was him... then he should be the source of the abnormality.

Or, the source of the abnormality was in him.

Unfortunately, they were in a dream now and could not release their abilities, otherwise they should be able to sense the abnormality.

But then again, although they had no abilities, there were two dream wizards present. They should be able to control the dream energy to sense it, right?

Thinking of this, Ms. Moon looked at Camillo.

After hearing Ms. Moon's question, Camillo looked a little embarrassed: "I just entered the dream and tried to sense it... I couldn't sense the dream energy at all."

In other words, although Camillo is a dream wizard, he is no different from them now.

Blanche also said: "I can't control the dream energy either. However, I can vaguely sense that there is indeed some dream power around, but this is a dream power I have never touched before. It seems to be mixed with a complex and mysterious energy..."

After Blanche finished speaking, Ms. Moon and Mr. Sun looked at each other, and the answer came to their minds at the same time: the power of the nightmare world.

Before, they used concepts to explore Uriel and Gulaimo outside, and they sensed the power of dreams and the power of the nightmare world.

If nothing unexpected happens, the complex energy described by Blanche is the power of the nightmare world.

Sure enough, the anomaly is in this dream!

But then again, as a formal wizard, Camillo can't sense the dream power around him; while Blanche is just an apprentice, she can describe the energy around her.

Sure enough, Blanche completely beat Camillo in matters related to "dreams".

"Should we go in?" Camillo looked at Ms. Moon.

Ms. Moon pondered for a moment: "Since we can't sense the energy, let's go in and take a look."

They talked a lot with Guillermo in reality, but not in dreams.

They can take this opportunity to have a conversation in dreams.

Ms. Moon had spoken, and everyone naturally nodded in agreement. However, the young man inside was playing the piano, and it would be impolite to interrupt him now.

So, they planned to wait until the piano music ended before knocking on the door.

While they were waiting, Juan Juan suddenly said, "When you go in later, you'd better be careful with your words."

Everyone looked at Juan Juan, and Ms. Moon asked, "Did you foresee anything?"

Juan Juan shook her head, "No, have you forgotten the identity information card in your mind just now?"

The identity information card mentioned, "Every choice you make will become the basis for determining whether your identity will be retained."

The "choice" here obviously does not refer to the kind of choice with a clear "yes" or "no", but their behavior in this dream.

Their behavior, motives, words, and even etiquette, knowledge, and learning may lead to some unpredictable changes.

So, it is best to be cautious in what they say and do next.

After Juan Juan finished explaining, Ms. Moon said, "Do you want us to keep our current identity?"

Juan Juan nodded.

Although it did not "foresee" anything, it vaguely felt that this identity was very important.

Having a legal identity, even if it is only a "temporary identity", is better than losing their identity due to their reckless behavior.

Ms. Moon thought about it and nodded: "Since it is Juan Juan who said so, let's do it this way."

Ms. Moon originally thought of using "violent means". Although they have no power now, they can create conflicts through words to test the "source of abnormality".

However, after Juan Juan's persuasion, Ms. Moon still decided to take the "peaceful exchange" route.

Of course, the premise is that the people inside are willing to accept the exchange.

...

A few minutes later, the performance in the yard ended.

As the piano music ended, the gate of the yard was knocked.

Luigi nodded gently to Gulermo, then stood up and walked towards the gate of the yard.

In the process, Luigi also observed the people outside through the grid. And aligned their faces with the identities described by Angel one by one.

By the way, Luigi also observed their facial features.

See if there are any "familiar" ones.

——Before that, he flipped through a lot of magazines and newspapers in Uriel's attic. Occasionally, these publications would include interviews with celebrities from the Dasman Empire, accompanied by portraits.

So, even though Luigi had never been to the Dasman Empire, he knew some of the celebrities there.

Moreover, Angel had said before that the people outside were most likely to have come in through Gulemo's dream, so they were most likely in Dawn City.

Maybe, there really was someone he knew?

Luigi looked around calmly, and finally frowned in disappointment.
