Chapter 340 Eternal Furnace

As Carl's body in the dream fell rapidly towards the sun, the orange-gold lines on his dream body became more and more.

When he came to the side of the "sun" and passed through a layer of energy shield composed of golden sunlight, he saw a castle, a huge castle that was pure white.

Carl recognized at a glance that the material of the castle was Yuntie, which he had been dealing with for half a month, and he also noticed that the clouds holding the castle would occasionally separate and float away.

"It is said that you think about something during the day and dream about it at night. Am I a little crazy?"

Floating under the castle, Carl looked at this magnificent building and doubted his mental state for a while.

Since awakening to his own dream world, Carl has not really had an ordinary dream.

Everything in the dream is an extension of his own will.

In other words, there will be nothing unexpected in Carl's dream, unless something invades here.

"This building is definitely not my own imagination. If I were to come, I would probably dream of a mechanical planet similar to Cybertron."

Controlling the mechanical body, the jets on Carl's legs were ignited, pushing him towards the cloud in front.

The six-meter-high mechanical body seemed extremely bulky, but fortunately Carl's control skills were very good. After touching the cloud carrying the castle, he climbed up.

The soft cloud was quite elastic when kneaded. Halfway up, Carl was a little embarrassed to continue climbing.

But thinking that he had come here, Carl strengthened his will and climbed to the top of the cloud.

Seeing the castle more closely, Carl became more and more convinced that everything in front of him was not from himself.

Because the scale of the Yuntie Castle seemed to be the style of a giant, the walls of the castle were luxuriously carved with reliefs that were inherited from the stone giants, which looked extremely gorgeous.

Carl's dream body was no shorter than an ordinary giant, but standing in front of the gate, he still felt like a potato egg.

Carl walked forward quickly, looking up at the gate that was at least 30 meters high, rubbed his palms, and then pushed hard.

The door was much easier to open and close than Carl thought. He only used 30% of his strength, and the door with a texture like pure white marble opened with a bang.

A warm current overflowed from the space behind the door. The orange-gold lines that had stabilized on Carl's dream body suddenly changed in a more complex direction after being enveloped by this warm current.

Carl suddenly felt that his mind was more relaxed than ever before, and the troubles of being trapped in the air element plane were directly thrown behind him.

I don't know how long it took, Carl came back to his senses and looked behind the door.

The structure of this castle is very simple. After pushing open the door, there is a space that is somewhat similar to the giant hall in the ruins of Lonely Mountain.

The only difference from the original hall is that the original long table has been replaced with a circular round table. A light ball is suspended in the middle of the round table, emitting a soft golden light.

At the end of the room, a ridiculously tall golden chair was placed directly opposite the light ball. Like the light ball, it was located on the center line of the castle.

Stepping in, the more gorgeous and complex reliefs on the walls on both sides attracted Carl's attention. Those reliefs seemed to be telling a history of giants, but for some reason, once Carl's eyes left a certain relief, he would forget the content.

It was as if these histories were covered by "gods" and could not be recorded or explored.

Without noticing this abnormality, Carl walked straight into the middle of the hall.

After walking half a circle around the light ball, he suddenly turned around and became very interested in the golden chair behind him.

This huge golden chair was also engraved with complex patterns, but it seemed that in order to ensure the comfort of the chair, these patterns were engraved in relief.

And on the front of the back of the chair, the patterns faintly formed the runes of two giants.

Carl just knew them.

"Ann... Nan?"

Ann, the father god in the legend of the giants.

Carl vaguely remembered that in the DND world view, this was a god who was so powerful that he could create the world with just one thought.

According to the setting, this seemed to be a multiverse-level existence.

The peculiarity of the giant rune may come from this.

"Huh? I can't remember the content of the relief on the castle wall, but why do I remember the content on this chair?"

Scratching his head, Carl did not delve into the reason, but turned around and sat on the chair around the circular round table.

The chair he chose was located directly below the golden chair, and it looked like he was leaning against the person sitting on the golden chair.

At this moment, Carl noticed a detail on the table.

On this table with the same pattern, there was something similar to a keyhole.

At this moment, Carl suddenly thought of the adamantine key.

And just as his thoughts were touched, a dream version of the adamantine key that was exactly the same as the adamantine key appeared in Carl's hand.

This scene that seemed to be arranged in advance made Carl frown, but he was really curious about what would happen next.

So he inserted the adamantine key into the keyhole.

"Crack! Boom--"

Amid the roar of machinery, the round table in front of Carl, which had been tightly closed, cracked at the keyhole, revealing a path leading to the ball of light.

Karl stood up hesitantly, then stepped forward.

Some strange impulse drove him towards the light ball, and vaguely, Karl found that his mechanical body seemed to overlap with something.

It was a giant with blue and white skin, a bit like his cloud giant spirit card.

As this thought came to his mind, Karl suddenly saw himself now from a third-person perspective.

It was a mechanical body covered with gorgeous orange and gold lines, and it was also a cloud giant with white hair and blue and white skin, exactly the same as Karl's original appearance.

The images of the two did not overlap, but the real Karl with red hair and orange irises on their chests became the only thing in common between the two.

This third-person perspective flashed by, and when Karl came back to his senses, he found himself under the light ball.

A warmer and softer feeling enveloped Karl than when he entered the castle before, and the golden lines on his mechanical body increased again, and were completely stabilized under some strange power.

Obeying a certain feeling in his heart, Karl raised his hands and stretched them into the light ball.

Unlike the scorching heat that Carl expected, although there was indeed a slight burning sensation, the feel of the inside of the light ball was even better than the cloud ball he had just climbed.

"Buzz——"

A loud buzzing sound vibrated from the light ball and the castle, and Carl's eyes suddenly burst into brilliant golden light.

Some complex knowledge was transmitted from the light ball into Carl's brain, which came from the giant's craftsmanship, the use of runes, and some theoretical knowledge in the fields of space and machinery.

Carl fainted in his dream, and the castle returned to its former silence.

The gate of the castle slammed shut, but the chair that Carl had sat on before had the same golden lines as Carl's body.

In the light emitted by the light ball, the chair was also shining.

...

"Carl? Carl? Stop rubbing it, I'll be angry if you rub it again!"

When Carl regained consciousness, he found himself lying on a bed made of soft cloud iron.

He was holding a girl with red skin and a toned body in his arms, and his hands were being pulled out of her chest by the other person.

"How long have I slept?"

Looking at Hope, who was only wearing a tank top and sports shorts, Carl blinked, his face full of confusion.

He still remembered everything in his dream, and knew that he should have gone to the Eternal Furnace.

He also guessed that the ball of light might be the Eternal Furnace, so he stretched his hands into the ball of light driven by his thoughts.

'Did I really touch the ball of light just now, or did I sleepwalk in reality and put my hands into Hope's tank top?

And the feeling of climbing the cloud before...'

While he was struggling in his heart, Hope suddenly stretched his head over and put his forehead against Carl's forehead.

"Huh?"

Although they were already an old couple, Hope's sudden action still made Carl blush.

He was about to raise his head and retreat, but Hope held his head without explanation.

"Don't move, let me measure your temperature. You had a high fever soon after you fell asleep, and we couldn't wake you up no matter what."

Hope breathed a sigh of relief when he felt that Carl's temperature had returned to normal.

Seeing that Carl was still sitting there blankly, Hope continued, "Nia made a high-quality healing potion for you overnight. Ying and Mitris went out to help her collect materials. They just came back and are now asleep."

Rubbing the Jingming point above the bridge of his nose, Carl took two deep breaths, and then apologized, "I'm sorry to bother you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Carl's face was clamped by Hope with two hands without explanation, so that his head was forcibly fixed in front of the other person's face.

"Why are you being so polite to me! My people are all yours! It's our duty to help you, because you are our man! But you are not allowed to work so hard in the future! You can't leave here!

When we were in the dungeon, didn't we plan to live there for the rest of our lives? Isn't this place much better than the dungeon?"

Although his tone was a bit of the unique tough dialect of Zom, Carl heard the hidden cry in Hope's words.

Reaching out to hug each other, Carl gently stroked Hope's hair and said softly: "I will do my best in the future, don't worry. But to be honest, I'm afraid that my illness this time is not because I have been enduring for several days..."

Just as he was about to continue, Hope seemed to feel that the hugging posture of the two was a little uncomfortable, so he slightly twisted his soft and muscular body.

The two bodies froze at the same time.

"I'm going to die! You just recovered from a serious illness! Nia said that you must rest assured and recuperate in the next week!"
