Chapter 4350 Dungeon Collaboration
Although Sigismund and Coleman entered the real world through the power of the Fairy Realm, they were unable to open the text box.
If we had to put it in perspective, Sigismund's "Guide to the Dark Corner" is somewhat like a prototype of a text bar, but in essence, it is a temporary offline terminal temporarily set up by a small part of the authority of the Fairy Realm, which cannot be connected to the main network of Dream Crystal Plains at all.
Moreover, its effectiveness is extremely low.
As for Coleman and his group, after entering the world of the instrument, the text bar was immediately closed, no longer displaying any information or triggering any tasks. It would only reopen and perform the final task settlement after they returned to their physical bodies.
Their examples demonstrate that the powers of the Fairy Realm do indeed influence the real world, but the impact is limited.
The "text bar" is even more impossible to open in reality.
But this time was different. Camillo saw a text box appear in reality, even if only for a moment.
Does this mean that... the power of the fairy realm is having an increasingly greater impact on reality?
Given this trend, could we expect to be able to open text boxes in real-world settings in the future?
If the text bar could be opened regularly, that would be amazing.
In other words, the powers of the fairy realm have begun to intertwine with reality, becoming a complete part of the laws of reality, and may even become one of the underlying laws of the universe!
This might be a bit abstract, so let me give you an example.
The Quest world, also known as the world of the dead, is a special world that can permeate countless planes and guide all souls back to their homeland.
Every so often, it stirs up a tide of souls in the boundless planes, guiding souls into this world.
This "soul tide" is itself an extension of the will of the Quest world and the authority of the other world, but now it has intertwined with reality and become the underlying law of the universe.
If the powers of the fairy realm could also make text bars bloom everywhere and open in various worlds as a matter of course, then it would be no different from "soul tides"!
Of course, even among the fundamental laws of the universe, there are differences in their status. Celestial powers certainly cannot compete with the soul tides, but in essence, the two are basically equivalent.
So, looking back at this incident, did the text that Camillo briefly displayed truly represent the power of the Fairy Realm breaking through the underlying laws of the real world?
Luigi had no answer to this question; his understanding of the Dream Crystal and its powers was limited.
But after listening, Angell could guess some of the situation.
The answer is... no.
The powers of the fairy realm did not truly break through the laws of the real world, nor did they touch upon the fundamental laws of the universe.
So why was Camillo able to open the text box?
Angor had a guess in his mind: the reason why the text bar could appear instantly was probably because "the living dead" was deeply bound to the Wonderland instance.
That undead is a "dreamer," whose consciousness is already in the Misty Forest instance, but whose physical body remains in reality.
Camillo, as a challenger, is also connected to the Dream Crystal Plain and inherently possesses the privilege of accessing the text panel.
When Camillo forcibly probed the memories of the living dead in reality, it was tantamount to two beings closely related to the Dream Crystal Plains in reality coming into direct contact.
It was this touch that unexpectedly triggered a special mechanism of the Fairy Realm's powers, briefly creating a barely perceptible passage between the two, which caused the text bar to appear briefly in reality.
Therefore, in essence, it is two entities deeply related to the powers of the fairy realm that are connected by a common mechanism; rather than the text column breaking through the laws of reality.
Even so.
This is actually a kind of progress.
This is the first time that the power of the Fairy Realm has left such a clear and distinct mark in reality.
From nothing to something, from absolute isolation to a brief flash, this in itself is a significant journey from 0 to 1.
Even if it's just for a moment, it means that a crack has appeared in the barrier between reality and the Dream Crystal Plains that can be pried open!
……
"So you didn't discover the truth, and only went online to tell me because of the flash in the text box?" Luigi asked.
Camillo nodded: "The main problem is that we can't extract any memories from it. To find the truth, we might need to start with its identity and origins, which will take a lot of time."
"Furthermore, I'm not entirely sure whether the 'evil spirit' you mentioned is actually this living dead knight."
"The flashing text bar also made me suspicious, so I immediately went online to ask about it."
After hearing Camillo's explanation, Luigi was suddenly taken aback.
"Go online immediately?" Luigi repeated his words in a low voice, vaguely feeling that some inspiration had flashed through his mind.
But upon closer reflection, no trace can be found.
Just as Luigi was deep in thought, Blanche's voice came: "Teacher, Mr. Luigi, I just saw a flash of light in the fog!"
Luigi turned around and saw Blanche leaning against the window, her eyes fixed on the outside.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Blanche's face: "Not long ago you said that the tree gate might connect to a new area, and I've been very curious ever since, so I've been keeping an eye on it."
"Just now, I saw a flash of light in the direction of the dead tree in the yard. Does that mean the tree gate has taken shape?"
Hearing Blanche's voice, a string in Luigi's mind suddenly snapped, and his previously scattered thoughts suddenly found a point of focus.
"Go online immediately... Tree Gate..."
His eyes suddenly narrowed, and all the fragments were suddenly pieced together.
Camillo triggered the text box in reality not long ago.
The Uriel instance was recently shrouded in mystery and strange phenomena.
The two events occurred at almost the exact same time.
Could it be that Camillo's actions in reality were the "cause," while the changes in the instance and the appearance of the tree gate are the "effect"?
Luigi wasn't sure if his guess was correct.
To verify this... just look at the situation at the tree gate.
If there really is a new area behind the tree gate, and it is related to Camillo, then his guess is correct!
Luigi let out a deep breath: "We'll find out if it's formed or not once we go over there."
After saying that, Luigi walked out first.
Camillo and Blanche followed immediately. They had been in the Uriel instance for a long time, and were feeling a bit uncomfortable staying in such a cramped place every day. They were also very curious about what was behind this tree door. Would it allow them to see the true appearance of the Dream Crystal Plains?
A moment later, the three stood in the wind.
Fortunately, the wind wasn't as strong as it had been at the beginning, but it still made their hair messy, and Blanche was even covered up with her hair.
While frantically fixing her hair, Blanche tried to crane her neck to look towards the tree gate.
Luigi walked straight to the tree gate.
The tree gate was now completely solidified, and a faint glow was flowing across the patched wooden planks that looked like they had been patched up many times.
And this radiance seemed to subtly resonate with the text bar.
As Luigi approached, a noticeable unusual fluctuation appeared in the text bar in his field of vision.
This is... a sign that a Wonderland notification has appeared.
Sure enough, when Luigi reached out and touched the tree door, familiar text appeared.
The special dreamscape "The Living Dead of the Misty Swamp" has been unlocked.
Currently available participants: 5 (maximum 5)
"Mission objective: Find the truth."
The main quest has now been started.
Current exploration progress: 10%
……
"The Tree Gate... is actually the dungeon entrance to the Misty Swamp Forest?!" Angell was also taken aback when he heard this.
He had indeed considered for a moment that the tree gate might lead to the Misty Swamp Forest. But the Misty Swamp Forest he envisioned was a new Misty Swamp Forest scene, just like Merren Street, both being expansion areas of the Uriel instance, only the entrance was presented as a tree gate.
Laplace, however, said that behind this door was the complete Misty Forest instance itself.
Based on the maximum number of participants, it can be basically confirmed that this is the instance that Kerma opens.
The five-person quota has been filled, which is exactly the size of the group consisting of Kemai and Dakman.
“Connecting to another instance within an instance…” Angor muttered to himself, “What kind of nested instance is this? Is this really right?”
"Perhaps it's just another form of collaboration dungeon?" Laplace quickly accepted it, because she had previously experienced the "Helen's Dream" dungeon, which eventually combined with "Bira's Dream" to become "The Glutton's Carnival".
Having gone through this experience, she remained calm when looking back at the collaboration between the Uriel and Misty Forest dungeons.
Angor: "If it were really a combination of multiple instances, that would be fine... but the reason these two instances were originally independent is that Camiro came into contact with the undead offline."
"That's what makes this dungeon so strange."
Angor now admits that Luigi's judgment was correct: when the Misty Forest instance appears behind the Tree Gate, it can be basically confirmed that the various anomalies in the Uriel instance, including the rising wind and mist and the birth of the Tree Gate, are closely related to Camillo's offline contact with the undead.
A dungeon collaboration that relied on "Dreamers" was something Angor had never expected.
Laplace's eyes flashed with hesitation: "Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit strange."
Angor: "What's the situation with Luigi? Have they entered the Misty Forest instance?"
Laplace shook his head: "No, they did want to go in and take a look, but unfortunately the instance is currently full, so they can't get in at all."
Laplace's words made Angell frown slightly and fall into deep thought.
That's really strange...
The Misty Forest instance was already full, with the five-person limit already taken up by Kerma's group. Even if a tree gate appeared in the Uriel instance, they wouldn't be able to enter.
In this way, the tree door that suddenly appeared seemed to have no meaning.
They opened the passageway but didn't increase the number of places; they provided entrances and exits but didn't allow anyone to enter.
Angell felt increasingly uneasy about what he was doing.
Why Uriel's instance in particular?
What's so special about the Uriel instance?
If it were simply because Camillo came into contact with the undead in reality and accidentally opened the connection between the two instances, then the appearance of the Tree Gate in the Uriel instance could be barely explained.
If the instance is already full, why would the Wonderland Authority go to the trouble of opening the gate here?
Normally, since a new entry point has been opened, the number of slots should be expanded accordingly, but that's not the case now.
This is illogical.
After much thought, a thought suddenly flashed through Angell's mind.
Could it be that... the original intention of the Fairy Realm's powers was never to allow them to enter the dungeon for exploration?
This door is not something that can be simply "broken through".
It's a hint.
It's a subtle way of telling them—
The truth behind the Misty Forest instance, the secrets of the living dead, and even the true face of the evil spirits are all related to the Uriel instance.
Of course, this was just a whimsical guess by Angell.
However, this speculation is not entirely unfounded.
The main reason is that the Uriel instance and the Misty Forest instance are very close in real-world distances.
Given such a close proximity, it's understandable that two instances were created, and these two instances happen to have a tree door that connects them.
And most importantly.
Angell remembered that before going to the Library of Echoes, he had logged off to contact Luigi, specifically to ask him to ask someone to find the truth about the "evil spirit" in the real world.
It was during this offline period that Luigi told Angor that after he completed the day's challenge, the fog around the Uriel instance suddenly surged.
Yes, the fog in the Uriel instance surged twice in a short period of time.
However, this first surge of fog did not reveal any "new areas" or any other special signs, so Angell ignored it.
But looking back now, he discovered a very surprising coincidence.
As Luigi was telling him about the swirling fog, something else happened at the same time in Dream Crystal Plains: the Fog Forest instance was officially activated by Kemai.
If the first surge of fog occurs, it is related to the activation of the Fog Marsh Forest instance.
The second time the wind and fog rose and the tree gate appeared was no coincidence.
One is activation through response, and the other is direct connection.
Both anomalies occurred precisely at key points in the Misty Swamp Forest instance.
Looking at it this way, it might not be a coincidence at all, but rather the fact that the Wonderland Powers had already hinted from the very beginning that the Uriel instance and the Misty Forest instance were deeply connected.
Angell let out a soft breath, suppressing his turbulent thoughts.
Regardless of the truth, we can at least be fairly certain about the direction of the next step.
Try to find the connection between the Misty Forest and Uriel.
The truth about the living dead and the true face of the evil spirits might be closely related to the Uriel instance... or even directly related to Uriel.
After all, the core protagonist of the Uriel arc is Uriel himself.
Therefore, if Luigi continues to send Camillo to find the truth about the living dead, then he can try to make contact with Uriel.
With this in mind, Angell shared his guess with Laplace.
Laplace fell into deep thought after hearing this. He could ignore the other unfounded speculations, but the fact that Uriel's dungeon had experienced swirling clouds and mist when the Misty Forest dungeon opened was very important.
Indeed, as Angell said, this further proves that the two copies are likely connected in some way.
“I understand. I’ll contact Luigi later and have him inform Camillo of the next focus of the investigation.”
