Patty seemed excited, and her questions came one after another—about the story of Cecil Gawain leading the human race through the wasteland, the story of the Knights of Anzu against the barbarians of the West, the story of the Great Underground Wall in the South, and the There are those absurd stories that, in Gawain's eyes, are purely made up by later generations - such as the secret agreement between Gawain Cecil and the dark wizard, such as the fairy tale of Charlie and the Three Golden Crowns...

Gawain answered one by one, those things that really happened, he answered according to his own memory, and those legends made up by later generations, he tried to draw a fairy tale for Patty.

But even if the little girl is very excited, her energy is very limited. After chatting for a while, Patty is obviously weak, and Lady Ropeney next to her immediately reminds her daughter: "Patty, it's time for you to sleep. "

Patty insisted hard: "But I still want to chat with Uncle Gawain for a while...His stories are so interesting..."

"Listen to your mother, it's time for you to go to bed," Gawain touched the little girl's head and sensed the flow of breath in her body at the same time - after confirming that the little girl's vital signs were stable, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll come to see you tomorrow."

"...Okay." The little girl nodded obediently, then turned to look at a corner of the room.

Patty's personal maid was always there. After receiving the order of the little master, the maid immediately stepped forward and helped Luo Penny to carefully bring Patty to the bedside. They undid the belts that fixed Patty's body, and then slowly. Slowly transferring the little girl to the bed, and in the process, Gawain noticed that Patty frowned slightly from time to time.

She's in bad shape, really bad.

After the little girl was finally settled, the maid took out an item from a nearby cabinet.

Gawain keenly sensed the magic fluctuations contained in the thing, and he immediately stepped forward.

It was a magical prop with a strange shape. It was like some kind of hair ornament, but it was bigger and more complicated. It was composed of several curved metal pieces. On the metal pieces, you could see intricate and dense magic runes. There's also magic thread and crystals for attachment, it's lined with soft leather and fabric on the inside, and has several straps to help secure it to the head.

It is like a metal "crown" full of mystery.

Before the maid put this thing on Patty's head, Gawain said, "What is this thing?"

"A magical tool for calming the mind,

"It helps Patty fall asleep." "

"Peace of mind?" Gawain frowned, looking at Patty who was already lying on the bed.

The little girl didn't think about it at all, and even said with a little show off: "This is a gift from a passing magician! Wearing it, I can dream for a long time, and I won't feel sleepy. It hurts!"

"Dream?" Gawain pretended to know nothing, "What kind of dream?"

"Well...it's a good dream!" Patty laughed, "I can run and jump in my dreams, and I don't feel uncomfortable at all - and Uncle Gawain, let me tell you, I used to dream with this before. I could only dream of very few people at the time, but when I used it to dream recently, I could see a lot of people playing with me! Uncle, do you want to try it?"

"...No, this is your treasure," Gawain rubbed the little girl's hair and stood up, "Go to bed early."

The expression on his face was calm, but a question had already formed in his mind:

Patty obviously remembers how she got into the Internet in the real world, and she also clearly knows that this magic item that can help her "fall into a dream" is a gift from a passing mage!

But she was very vague about this memory in the dream world, and she couldn't answer the first time she entered the Internet...

Was part of her memory obscured or tampered with while she was in the psychic network? who did it? Why do you want to do this?

After leaving Patty's room, Ropeney immediately said, "Lord Duke, is there something wrong with that magic item?"

Gawain turned his head slightly, glanced at Patty, who was already lying on the bed and entered the spiritual network, through the still-open door. After a few seconds of silence, he finally shook his head: "No, it's fine."

Then he asked: "But I'm curious who gave her that gift."

"A mysterious sorcerer," Ropeney said, "A few years ago, Patty was in a terrible condition. Her wounds never healed, and she couldn't rest all night. I searched the territory and the territory. Outside scholars, physicians, and priests were powerless, but just when I was at a loss, a man who claimed to be from some occult mage guild came to the castle and said that he had a way of calming Patty's spirit--when he showed the reality After that, I believed him."

Gao Wen knew in his heart: there is no doubt that the so-called "magician" is a certain eternal sleeper.

Considering the complex composition of the eternal sleeper, maybe all the identity of the mage is still true.

"Did that 'magician' appear later?" He looked into Luo Penny's eyes and asked with a serious face.

Countess Ropeney shook her head: "Never again... But he said before leaving that if something goes wrong with the magic tool, or if Patty's mental condition worsens, he can feel it, and it will definitely appear in time... "

Gawain nodded, not surprised by this: the monitoring Eternal Sleeper with the Mind Network does not need to watch at the scene at all, and can also know how Patty is in real time. According to what Patty just said, she was already using that item before the "Eternal Dream" was activated. At that time, the Eternal Sleeper had only built a simple and small dream world. Patty was probably the first The first users of the Mind Network of...

Luo Peini felt something from Gawain's attitude, and the expression on the baroness's face inevitably became nervous: "Do you know... about that magic tool and that magician?"

Gawain hesitated for a while, and finally chose to tell Luo Peini part of the situation: "If I guessed correctly, most of that magic item has something to do with the Eternal Sleeper."

"Eternal Sleeper?!" The baroness was taken aback and turned around on the spot, "That thing..."

"Don't panic," Gawain immediately stopped Luo Peini's actions, "I just said that that thing has something to do with the Eternal Sleeper, but it's not necessarily harmful to Patty."

Luo Penny stopped, but didn't speak, just stared straight at Gawain's eyes, waiting for a statement from the other party.

"You should know that in Kant led me to destroy the Eternal Sleeper's conspiracy and smashed one of their lair in the south," Gawain explained, "After that, I investigated and learned a little about the Eternal Sleeper. Knowledge of , including their magical techniques. According to my observations, the prop that Patty uses to fall asleep has no negative effects such as encroaching on the mind, corrupting the mind, at least judging from the prop itself, it is harmless. "

"But it's a cult thing after all!" Ropeney looked a little unacceptable. "I can't believe it... I've let Patty use that thing for more than three years..."

Gawain sighed, of course he knew Ropeney's concerns, but he had to remind the mother of a fact: "Patty needs it."

Ropeni raised her head suddenly, and then lowered it slowly.

"You're right...I know what Patty is in, she's already...I'm willing to pay the best price I can to get her to sleep," the mother whispered, "but I Hopefully I'll pay the price, not my daughter."

"At least at this stage, Patty can't do without that device," Gawain said, "but I'll also try to find a way to confirm the condition of the device. My territory has been working on the technology of the Eternal Sleeper for a long time. Research, and I'll write a letter and have the best scholars in the realm come and check that thing out to see if it's really safe."

Then he paused, then continued: "If it's really safe, then my advice is to keep Patty on it - it's the only way to temporarily relieve Patty from the pain until a better replacement is found. "

What he said was not a lie: Patty was in such a dire situation that any means of relieving her pain was worth trying, and it was better than making her condition worse.

And he still didn't say the reason: Patty's connection to the mind network is obviously not a random move of the eternal sleeper. According to the situation that the little girl can move freely in the central area of ​​Dream City, and Selina Geer takes care of it personally The fact that those Eternal Sleepers "selected" Patty obviously had a special meaning.

So they must be monitoring Patty's situation and have follow-up arrangements.

Suddenly "disconnecting" Patty at this time, will it irritate the eternal sleeper? Will it make the situation worse? Will those cultists "destroy" nodes by thinking their plans are revealed?

These are all issues to consider.

Moreover, Gawain wants to use this clue to continue to dig deeper and find out what are the plans of those mysterious eternal sleepers...

In any case, keeping Patty connected to the Internet is the safest solution at present - of course, he must also call the "professionals" who are studying the technology of the Eternal Sleeper in the territory and confirm the situation of the device with his own eyes.

After all, the opponent is the Eternal Sleeper cultist, no matter how vigilant it is.

Although Gawain didn't give all his reasons, but Luo Peini was persuaded, the baroness nodded reluctantly: "It can only be done according to your opinion. But I can't figure out one thing... those Crazy cultists, why did they choose my daughter...why would they give her such a 'gift'? I...don't believe they have any pure good intentions."

"To be honest, I don't believe it either," Gao Wen smiled. "Don't worry, I will continue to investigate this matter. I have endless dealings with those eternal sleepers..."

Luo Peini took a deep look at Gawain, she could hear a hint of deep meaning in the other's tone, but she didn't continue to ask, but suddenly said after a moment of silence, "Thank you."

"Thanks for what?"

"Patty is very happy today," whispered the Countess. "She hasn't been so happy in a long time."

"I said, I can't let my little admirers down," Gawain laughed. "After all, in her mind, I am a big hero—a big hero like her father."

"Remember the topic we discussed just now?" the Countess said quietly, "about the noose."

"Of course I remember."

"I'm very interested in it."
