Chapter 301 1 Servant

The magician Daniel watched in horror as the whole world slowly collapsed in front of him - the splendid arcane spire, the incomparable magic palace, the world of freedom, light and hope collapsed silently in front of him. It was solved, and a terrifying consciousness was coming to him quickly.

Coming to the "front" is just an illusion, and Daniel, who has a deep understanding of the psychic arts, knows what the real truth is-his mind has been invaded, and the intruder's power has reached an unimaginable level. Daniel built illusions and decoys in his mind that could block prying eyes and encrypt memories, but the intruder seemed to completely ignore those defenses and directly overwhelmed everything. In that brief second, he only felt his brain He was forced into an incomparably huge torrent of information, which he could not resist at all.

Under the impact of such a huge amount of information, all thought barriers and memory buffers are useless.

In the only trace of sanity left, Daniel remembered the information published on the Mind Network not long ago, the information about the "extraterritorial rogue", and the information about the bishop of the eternal sleeper who died in the hands of the extraterritorial rogue, He realized what the huge information in his head that could not be processed by the human brain was, and after realizing all this, his first reaction was to immediately cut off the network——

His mind was jumping between the mental network and the real world, and in a lucky moment less than a millisecond, he saw his magic laboratory on the border of Typhon, and the clumsy female apprentice was not far away. Processing the sample next to the experimental bench at the office, he raised his hand with all his strength, but in the next instant, he found himself back in the dream world that was constantly collapsing.

The surrounding palace buildings were still slowly collapsing, and the pedestrians in the city were dissolving in the air like abstract oil paintings. The old master squeezed out the last trace of air from his lungs, and finally shouted: "He is in the Internet— "

However, his shouting was just a fantasy in his own mind. In fact, he just stood there in a daze, and a voice exploded in his mind: "Stand there and don't move, I have caught you!"

After this sentence, the surrounding scene was finally completely changed.

The splendid city of dreams disappeared, and there was only a vast and boundless water surface in the field of vision, and on the water stood one after another, strange metal platforms.

A sky without any stars or celestial bodies covers the waters, and countless huge geometric images are constantly changing and reorganizing on the sky, forming all kinds of incomprehensible scenes, and the master of this world, a pale gold. The short man stood silently in front of him.

That is the face of the founder of Ansu Kingdom, Charles I. In the "Eternal Dream", many people like to portray themselves as this image, but the old mage knows that this "Charles I" in front of him is better than any eternal sleeper. are terrifying.

"Outlander..." he muttered to himself.

"To be honest, I don't really like the name you gave me, it sounds awkward," Gawain said while looking at the old mage in front of him-before this person was dragged in, his image was a body A middle-aged man with a dignified and calm temperament wearing a star magic robe, holding a gemstone staff, but in this "cracked world" that only follows the rules set by Gawain, the outsider is forcibly removed from all disguise, he is just a A shriveled, thin old man in a black mage robe. "Your name is Daniel... Interesting, Typhon, isn't it?"

"How do you know..." The old mage first widened his eyes in astonishment, but then realized that it was stupid to have doubts about this issue: How much resistance does the human mind have in the face of this extraterritorial wanderer?

But in fact Gawain doesn't know much - he can use his powerful memory shock to destroy the mental defenses of most Eternal Sleeper cultists, or use the trap loopholes he has set up in the psychic network to destroy an Eternal Sleeper and The general network is isolated and pulled into the abnormal data space, but reading memory is a more advanced and complex operation. He has this knowledge, but he is still far from being proficient.

He just read the superficial memory of the old mage - just in that superficial memory, there are already many interesting things.

This old man named Daniel was a mage before he became an Eternal Sleeper cultist, and was also a member of the Mage Association of the Typhon Empire.

It is normal for cults to absorb new members. From the poor commoners to the nobles with empty hearts, they are all their targets. The original Viscountess Lilith of Kant was bewitched by the cultists before she went astray. The same is true of Budd Wendell, a cultist who met the death of all things earlier, but as far as Gawain knows, very few mages have fallen into cultists-because mages have a special world view and belief system, they first They are already users of mortal power, so it is difficult to be deceived by mortal power. Secondly, they have a broad belief in the goddess of magic, Mirmina. This goddess is considered to be the source of all magic. If a mage really decides to believe What, isn't it better to believe in a magic goddess than to believe in a group of dreaming lunatics?

But after reading Daniel's shallow memories, Gawain realized that if an aging mage has come to an end on the road of magic and has reached a desperate situation, and at the same time he himself has a will that can be used. The weak point... Then it doesn't seem impossible for him to indulge in dreams.

In terms of "making up for the regrets brought by the real world", the Eternal Sleeper really has a great advantage.

On the other hand, the old mage Daniel finally regained his composure after the initial panic. He has secretly tried to escape from this place or release some spells, but now he is completely trapped here, and even his spiritual power seems to be frozen. ——In this spiritual realm, the control of the mind means that everything is at rest. Even if there is a power to destroy the world outside, he cannot fight against the master of the dream, so he decisively chose to protect himself and tried his best to lower his posture. : "You...what do you want from me..."

Mage is a pragmatic group, and this will not change under any circumstances. Daniel will not insist on anything in this situation, especially when he knows that he is still an "extraterritorial wanderer", a person who is probably not human. Even more so after the ineffable of emotion.

Since this "rogue" hasn't killed him yet, it means that he has the value of continuing to live, and he must let himself live.

"What do you get..." Gawain touched his chin and thought seriously, "To be honest, I really didn't think about it... It was just an experiment to pull you over, I didn't see any other value in you. Or Say, what do you think you can give me?"

Just doing an experiment...

The old master sank in his heart, and the situation began to develop in a bad direction.

He was treated as an experiment - like the animals he threw to his apprentice Mary to deal with.

Is this the true attitude of "extraterritorial rogues" when looking at humans?

Gawain did not let the old mage continue to make up his mind alone - although it seems very interesting to do so, but Gawain did not go online once for fun, after confirming that this Typhon named Daniel can recognize it well After the reality, he waved his hand: "Okay, relax a little, we can sit down and talk slowly."

A small round table and two chairs appeared out of thin air on the calm, mirror-like water. Gawain sat down first, and Daniel sat down cautiously after a brief hesitation, but he still did not dare to relax his attention. Gawain's every move.

"How long have you been an Eternal Sleeper?"

Daniel was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this inhuman being to actually start chatting with him, but he quickly replied, "I came into contact with them more than ten years ago..."

"Because you encountered a problem in magic research in the real world?" Gawain looked at the old mage in front of him with a half-smile, "Indulging in dreams is not a solution to the problem."

"...A mortal is a creature limited by talent," the old mage shook his head bitterly. "My talent made me come to an end early on the road of exploring the truth."

"Is the Eternal Sleeper a form of salvation for you?"

"...Maybe you can say that."

"Interesting," Gawain tapped the table lightly, "then I would like to know, if another greater redemption is placed in front of you, will you betray the Eternal Sleeper?"

Daniel looked at Gawain blankly, looking a little overwhelmed.

"I need a servant," Gawain said with a smile, deliberately making himself seem unfathomable-since those Eternal Sleepers with a lot of inner drama have woven him a very exciting character design, then he really doesn't mind putting this The character design is easy to use, "I'm not omniscient and omnipotent, there are many things I can't do by myself - so, I chose you."

In fact, it is optional.

"Choose... me?" the old mage said hesitantly, "what do you want me to do?"

"As my ears and eyes, the ears and eyes in the Typhon territory, the ears and eyes among the eternal sleepers," Gawain said while staring at the eyes of the old mage, "Of course, you will also get equal rewards in the process— -I follow the equivalent exchange very much."

Although Daniel didn't expect to get more benefits than "survival" from this contact, he still asked subconsciously, "You mean... remuneration?"

"For you, that may be the greater salvation," Gawain laughed. "It is knowledge, knowledge that allows you to continue on the path of exploring the truth."

Daniel's breath choked.

...

Mary stared nervously at the teacher's movements, a position she had held for a long time.

After that weird sentence, the instructor froze like a petrified body, with a terrified expression on her face, she didn't move, she wanted to push forward or scream, but in the end she restrained this urge ——It is very likely that the tutor became like this because of the backlash from magic, and it is not a good idea to rashly contact at this time.

However, no matter how she checked the blood-red rune circles around her, she couldn't find any signs of the spells getting out of control.

Do you want to call in other apprentices? Do you want to call the old housekeeper in? Or... do you want to take this opportunity to release the shackles around your neck?

Countless thoughts - tense and terrifying - clashed violently in the mind of this low-level female mage, and she felt her hands and feet begin to tremble. Before the worst decision, she saw her mentor's eyes blink abruptly.

It made her almost exclaim.

The old magician in the black robe finally woke up. His stiff muscles slowly recovered, and his cloudy eyes became clear again. He saw the female student standing in front of him, and the latter looked nervous and fearful.

The old magician didn't know how long he was unconscious, but the student apparently didn't run away.

Mary spoke in a trembling tone: "Teacher...you...are you okay?"

"I made a deal with a terrible existence." The old magician said in a hoarse voice.
