Chapter 4457 Dream Plants and the Sense of Time
According to Luigi's information, the Dawn Shop is located near the North Gate.
This is one of the three anomalous coordinate points provided by Angell, and also the last anomalous coordinate point that Luigi went to find.
Luigi had also visited the two previous anomalous coordinate points and found some anomalies at both, but these anomalies were both blocked.
For example, the first anomaly was that Luigi discovered a spatial rift that appeared out of nowhere.
At the center of the crack was a deep, ethereal purple light, mysterious and secluded.
Upon seeing the crack, Luigi guessed that the Dawn Shop might be inside, and he immediately prepared to "travel" through it. However, just as he was about to step into the crack, he was blocked outside by an invisible wall of air.
At the same time, a "Fairyland" notification appeared in the text bar.
"The area does not meet the conditions for opening."
The text field doesn't provide any information on what the activation conditions are.
Luigi thought for a moment, and following the common logic of dungeons, he subconsciously assumed that this crack was a puzzle... So he wandered around the crack, looking for the puzzle.
In the end, he found nothing.
After being delayed for more than an hour, they sheepishly chose to leave.
Next, he went to the second anomaly point, which was a clock shop.
At first, Luigi didn't find anything unusual here, until later, when he came to the side of the clock shop, he bumped into the "invisible wall".
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that an invisible wall surrounded a glass display case, inside which was displayed an old-fashioned cabinet clock.
In other words, this cabinet-style clock is the unusual feature.
Luigi glanced at the message bar and, sure enough, received another message: "This area has not met the activation requirements."
He looked around the store briefly, and after confirming that there were no puzzle elements, he turned and left.
Finally, there's the third shop.
Here, he finally found the "anomaly" without any invisible walls, and the text bar also confirmed that this was the "Dawn Shop".
Luigi then managed to contact Angel...
……
After confirming the exact coordinates of the Dawn Shop, Angell naturally notified the others as well.
After delivering the message, Angel spoke telepathically with Blanche alone.
The main idea was that since I was idle anyway, I might as well take advantage of this time to acquire one or two more keywords.
After careful questioning, Blanche revealed that she was unfamiliar with the other terms, but she did understand the term "special dream plant" and began to share the information she knew.
Angel also opened the entry writing interface at the right time and began to fill in the information as Blanche had instructed.
"Special Dream Plants" is a general term for dream plants that possess special effects.
"They come in many varieties, and can be broadly classified according to stem texture, leaf cycle, and growing environment..."
"The place of origin can vary regionally, for example..."
"The effects are influenced by many factors... and the grade is determined by the level of dream power contained within..."
After Angell finished writing, he chose to submit.
After a while.
"Verification information determined: Invalid, rejected."
Angel repeatedly asked Blanche to recall if there were any omissions, but Blanche replied, "That's all I know."
The voice just fell.
Angel then heard a cry of pain from Blanche, followed by a plea for mercy that said, "I was wrong."
Angell: "???"
Just as Angel was wondering whether he should take a look at the situation from God's perspective, a voice that sounded both aggrieved and bitter came from Blanche's side: "Mr. Angel, I just thought about it carefully and realized that I forgot to add the origin of the special dream plant."
Angel didn't immediately press for details, but instead asked worriedly, "Are you... alright over there?"
Blanche blew her nose and said resentfully, "It's nothing, it's just that the teacher and I had a 'friendly' chat just now."
Angell: "..."
Blanche was in a team with Camiro, so she walked with him. As expected, Camiro had been listening to Blanche's entire answer.
As a teacher, I found obvious errors in Blanche's account, and after a brief discussion, it was quite reasonable.
However, Angell estimated that Camiro's exchange was somewhat intense.
Angel didn't reopen Blanche's wounds, but paused for a moment and said, "Then you add to it."
Blanche hummed in agreement and began, "The origins of special dream plants..."
Angell filled in the missing information based on Blanche's account.
Halfway through the conversation, Angel's expression froze. The origin of the special dream plant was actually this? No wonder his random guesses before failed completely; it was impossible to know this without basic knowledge.
"The origins of special dream plants are diverse, but most are fostered by beings who die in their sleep..."
Who would have thought that special dream plants would be related to this!
According to Blanche's retelling, the process of creating special dream plants is very complicated, but most of them contain the life will of "those who die in their sleep".
Blanche also mentioned that special dream plants are very useful for dream witches. Some dream witches can enhance themselves and stay in the dream world for a long time simply by consuming special dream plants.
Therefore, some dream sorcerers like to deliberately create death events in dreams in reality.
But such dream witches are ultimately a minority.
The reason for this is that although special dream plants are mostly induced by "people who die in their sleep", once a special dream plant appears, it will be randomly thrown into the dream realm.
In other words, even if you create a death event in your dream in reality and successfully cultivate a special dream plant, the dream world is almost infinitely large, and you may never encounter this special dream plant in your lifetime.
In this situation, the Dream Witch would naturally not do something that would be thankless.
Besides the birth method of "those who die in their sleep," there are of course other ways to induce the growth of special dream plants, such as dream witches cultivating them in their own dreams.
However, you need to obtain the corresponding Dream Plant Seed.
However, Angell didn't bother to learn much about these things because they were beyond his scope.
Angell put all the information together and then filled in the form to submit.
The text box quickly provided feedback.
The entry "Special Dream Plant" has been verified, and the information completeness has been slightly improved.
Information completeness: 40%
"Currently, 2/6 of the relevant glossary entries have been supplemented."
Angell looked at the information completeness score, which had increased significantly, with satisfaction, and felt a surge of joy.
Indeed, it takes the teacher's encouragement to do things right.
Unfortunately, when Angell asked Camillo, he had never heard of the other entries either.
Angell had no choice but to give up regretfully, and then contacted Ms. Moon.
Now that the Sun and Moon Wizard and Juanjuan are together, Angell contacting her is equivalent to contacting all three of them.
He briefly described the remaining four terms, and although Lady Moon did not know why Angell asked, she still gave her answer.
She didn't know the other three, but she knew a lot about "sense of time".
Time perception refers to an unusual sensitivity to the passage of time.
In the Source World, the Time-Sensing Calamity will erupt from time to time, and those affected will often be in a state of Time-Sensing Corrosion, where a day feels like a year, and a year feels like a day.
If the erosion is deep, it could last for a hundred years without change.
Although this will not directly shorten lifespan, it will cause irreparable damage to the mind and spirit, and even after it is cured, there may be lingering discomfort.
It can be said that the disasters of the time are among the most terrible calamities in the world.
"Why is there such a thing as a calamity of time?" Although this was beyond the scope of the curriculum and did not require submission, Angel was still very curious.
Lady Moon sighed softly: "Because there was once a disordered entity that erupted in the Source World, which eventually eroded the Source World's fundamental laws. Even though the Disordered Calamity was restored to Order by the combined efforts of the Order Guild and the Temple of the Prophet, the eroded fundamental laws have not yet been recovered."
"Currently, all the major super-star organizations in the Origin World regard 'removing the time-sensory disaster from the fundamental laws' as an exceptional research project. Whoever can develop a solution will immediately become a recognized exceptional scholar by the major organizations in the Origin World."
Ingres: "A scholar who breaks the mold?"
Ms. Moon: "Are you familiar with the exceptional program?"
Angel: "I've heard of it. It seems to be a prerequisite for advancing to a super-star organization."
Lady Moon nodded: "That's right. The exceptional project refers to research topics that other organizations can't even dream of, and it's also the root of why the super-star organization can stand firm in the source world."
For example, the Grindelwald Institute of Spells has a special program called "Breadth of Spell Studies." It is because of this special program that the Grindelwald Institute of Spells exists today.
"And the 'distinguished scholar' refers to the chief researcher who leads the exceptional project and has an extremely high status."
In the Source World, the status of exceptional scholars is equal to that of mysterious alchemists; even if miracles exist, exceptional scholars will be respected.
"However, there are not many recognized exceptional scholars at present, because once it is made public, it is very likely to be targeted. But if someone really researches how to 'eliminate the calamity of time in the fundamental law', then he will be awarded the title of exceptional scholar and will definitely not be targeted."
After all, all the wizards in the source world will benefit from this.
Therefore, the value of this exceptional scholar may far exceed that of other exceptional scholars.
"Unfortunately, no organization has yet developed a solution to the Time-Sensing Calamity." Lady Moon paused for a moment. "However, I personally speculate that the Temple of the Prophets is the most likely to develop such a solution."
As the Moon Lady spoke, Angell faintly heard a "meow," as if agreeing with the Moon Lady's wisdom.
"Why?" Angell asked curiously.
Lady Moon chuckled softly: "Because that disordered object that caused the disaster of time is now in the Temple of the Prophet."
Angell was stunned when he heard the news.
The mysterious objects in the Temple of the Prophet are also related to the sense of time... that is, time itself.
He suddenly remembered something Frost had mentioned about disordered objects, and it was also recorded in the encyclopedia by Kuro. That disordered object was called—
Is it the City of Reincarnation?
Lady Moon paused, somewhat surprised: "You've heard of it?"
Angor: "I once met a mysterious hunter from the Order Guild who mentioned the City of Reincarnation of the Temple of the Prophet, which is said to be a city forgotten by time—Poetry City."
Lady Moon nodded: "...That's right, the Time Crisis originated in Poetry City and eventually eroded the very essence of the world."
"Disordered things are just so unreasonable." Lady Moon said with some emotion, "This is also why the mysterious alchemists have such a high status in the Source World."
Angel temporarily ended his conversation with Lady Moon.
I quietly organized this information and then filled in the entry for "sense of time".
Unsurprisingly, the verification passed.
Information completeness: 55%
"Currently, 3/6 of the relevant glossary entries have been supplemented."
The remaining three entries are currently unknown; for now, we can only look to Yuelu's side for information...
……
Meanwhile, Sun and Moon Wizard and Tiredness were on their way to the North Gate.
After Angell disconnected, Lady Moon fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
“I feel that this wizard named Angel is becoming more and more mysterious.” Lady Moon turned her head to look at the tall man beside her.
Mr. Sun pondered, “The Mystic Hunters are a group of elite wizards from the Order Guild who specialize in dealing with the Calamity of Disorder. Each of them is at least of legendary rank.”
Even among legendary wizards, he is an outstanding figure in every aspect.
That is precisely why they are qualified to deal with the disaster of disorder.
If it were anyone else, even the Sun and Moon Wizards, even if they reached legendary level, they wouldn't be able to handle the chaos, because they lacked the experience, strength, and resources.
In other words, a single Mystic Hunter could leave the Sun and Moon Wizards far behind.
But now Angel has mentioned the Mysterious Hunter in his words. Although he didn't explicitly state the relationship between the two, a normal Mysterious Hunter wouldn't just casually explain the City of Reincarnation to someone.
"Angol must possess some quality that the mystery hunters also value?"
After Mr. Sun finished speaking, Ms. Moon immediately nodded in agreement, and then the two of them looked up at the black cat, Juanjuan, walking on the wall.
What kind of person is Angell? What secrets does he hold? What qualities does he possess? They don't know for now, but perhaps Juanjuan can sense it?
Juanjuan paused for a moment, then gently shook her head: "I can't see through him..."
Previously, at the Lombardy shop, Juanjuan saw the real Angel for the first time, and at first glance, it didn't really have much of an impression.
Because fate never gave it any guidance.
But as they got to know each other better, and after they parted ways, the Sun and Moon Wizards kept discussing the "Fairyland Inscriptions," and all sorts of details made Juanjuan feel a strange sense of unease.
Why would fate not offer guidance to someone like this?
Could this lack of guidance be a form of indirect suggestion?
It's unclear what Juanjuan is doing yet. Perhaps after it goes offline, it can... question the stars in reality.
Lady Moon: "What do you mean by 'can't see through'?"
“Fate hasn’t given me any guidance. Either he’s not special, or he’s extremely special… The future will eventually reveal all.” Juanjuan paused for a moment. “But that’s not important right now. What I’m more concerned about is why he suddenly asked you about your sense of time?”
"Also, what do those terms he mentioned earlier mean?"
"I have a vague feeling... that this has something to do with me."
