Chapter 4411 First Arrival
Outside Star Harbor.
All the adventurers spontaneously made way for the Starsea Adventurers, guiding them all the way to the starship.
The adventurers on the shore cheered as they witnessed the legendary adventure team set sail, their farewell filled with emotion.
Meanwhile, Uriel and the others aboard the starship were also experiencing a farewell.
"I should leave first?" Uriel pointed to himself, his eyes filled with doubt. "Can't I come with you?"
“You can indeed follow us on the Dream Realm Path, but there’s no need,” Camillo said bluntly. “Our Dream Realm Path involves a process similar to ‘smuggling’ to reach the Dream Crystal Plains. You already have a legitimate identity in the Dream Crystal Plains, so you can just log in through the proper channels; there’s no need to smuggle yourself in.”
"After all, smuggling is not a good thing. If you have legal status and still try to smuggle yourself, there may be some trouble in the future."
Camillo had heard that many people from other worlds who tried to sneak into the Southern Region would suffer from severe "acclimatization problems" and would either die in the wilderness or be wiped out by extremist sects.
Of course, Dream Crystal Plains and the Southern Region are not the same.
Camillo and Blanche also initially went there illegally, and so far no problems have been found.
Just because it doesn't exist now doesn't mean it won't exist in the future.
Uriel has a legitimate identity and has absolutely no need to gamble on this probabilistic event.
Uriel fell silent.
He was well aware that their destination was Dream Crystal Plains, which he could reach by simply falling asleep, so there was no need to take the risk... However, he was worried that Rigota might run into trouble on the way.
So he wanted to witness it with his own eyes, but...
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Rigota," Blanche assured, patting her chest. "Besides, in this dreamland, the starship has very strong defenses, so even if it encounters a dream beast, it can return safely."
"Besides, I'm the navigator, so there absolutely won't be any problems."
Uriel looked at Rigota, then at Blanche, and finally nodded.
"Okay then... please send me back to reality, I'll fall asleep again from reality."
Camillo shook his head: "There's no need for such trouble. You are already in a dream right now. I'll just send you back to the Dream Bridge, and you'll naturally head to the Dream Crystal Plains."
After saying this, without waiting for Uriel's reaction, Camillo stepped forward and gently pushed him.
His figure was then engulfed by the aurora, and the surrounding space spun and collapsed, and the figure disappeared in an instant.
After Uriel left the starship, Camillo and Blanche turned their attention to... Guleimo.
"Can't I come with you?"
Blanche nodded gently: "There's no need."
Guleimo hesitated and asked, "Then does that mean I won't be able to see my sister for a while?"
After all, Rigota might stay in Dream Crystal Plains for a long time, and unlike Uriel, he doesn't have a legitimate identity in Dream Crystal Plains.
In other words, it seems unlikely that he will be able to see his sister again anytime soon.
When Blanche heard Gulemo's question, she was initially confused: Didn't I see you going into the Uriel instance every night to teach Luigi how to play the piano? What kind of long farewell was this?
Camillo whispered to her, "His thoughts and perceptions were mostly blocked back in the Dream Crystal Plains, just like Uriel's at the beginning."
Blanche understood instantly.
Uriel used to be an NPC in dungeons every day, but he didn't know much about Dream Crystal Plains, precisely because some of his knowledge was blocked.
Later, after Uriel went to the Misty Forest instance, the shield that the Celestial Authority had placed on him was unlocked.
Just like Uriel before him, Gulemo could actually enter the Dream Crystal Plains every day, but his perception of the Dream Crystal Plains was very distant.
“Don’t worry, you’ll see Rigota tonight if nothing unexpected happens,” Blanche said. “However, how much you’ll remember will depend on how much of your cognition is ultimately blocked.”
At first, Gulemo didn't understand what it meant. After Blanche explained it to him, he vaguely recalled some of the memories from each night.
"So, I'll still be able to see my sister later?"
“Yes, but some of your memories may be blocked, or they may be unaffected…” Blanche was also unclear about the specific rules of the blocking.
“It doesn’t matter, as long as I can see him.” Gulemo: “Besides, I believe I can remember.”
Because he thinks about Rigota every day.
Today he even saw Rigota's spirit, and even had a clear understanding that he would go to the Dream Crystal Plains to meet Rigota... With this obsession, he believed that he would definitely remember everything.
Soon, Gulemo, following Uriel, was also sent back to the original Dream Bridge.
On the starship, there were only Camillo, Blanche, and Rigota.
“It’s time for us to set off.” Blanche came to the bow of the starship, and amidst the cheers and waves of people on the shore, she steered the small boat that carried dreams and starlight into the depths of the starry sea.
……
Dream Crystal Plains, deep within the burrows of Rabbit Town.
Near a rocky, crystalline wall, a young man peeked out furtively.
He cautiously peered into the distance at the town standing amidst the lights.
He saw rows of huge, rabbit-shaped skyscrapers in the town.
I also saw the extraordinary flow of people in the town, densely packed with pedestrians.
He also saw several vast platforms outside the town marked with red circles. Figures kept emerging from the red circles, then quickly leaving, and new figures would emerge.
In just a few seconds, at least tens of thousands of people were involved.
He remembered that he had emerged from a certain red circle.
Then, he was pushed aside by a monster that looked like a human but was covered in crystals. The monster said to him, "Don't block the spawn point, get out of here."
He didn't know where he was, nor what race the crystal people were; he was just pushed out like that.
He guessed that he might have entered a monster town.
Because although the density of people coming and going in this area is extremely high, you can hardly see any human groups similar to yourself.
He didn't know if he had accidentally wandered into Monster Town or been captured by someone. Fortunately, no one around seemed to care about him. After leaving the red circle, he secretly ran to the outermost edge.
They eventually hid in the rocky forest near the crystal wall.
"Where exactly is this place?" He touched the stone forest in front of him. It was called a stone forest, but it was actually some kind of dark crystal.
Even the ground beneath our feet is crystal.
So, did he come to a world of crystals?
What are those figures that keep appearing in the red circle? Why am I appearing along with them?
"Strange, if I was captured... then why is no one taking care of me?" He looked at the bustling town in the distance, and the strangeness in his heart grew deeper and deeper.
Countless questions arose in his mind, but none of them could be answered.
The only saving grace is that he seems to be safe for now; no one has noticed him. But what should he do next? How can he get out of here?
Just then, a voice came from behind him.
"Huh, what's that human doing here?"
He was startled and slowly turned his head.
But then he saw two crystal beings carrying shovels walking out from deeper into the stone forest. One of them, wearing a hat, was curiously talking to him.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" The man in the hat and crystal even waved.
At this moment, another crystal person with a bow tie whispered, "Could they be residents of the building? I remember the teaching elder said that there are many humans in the building, and they all come from the Charles Palace, and most of them are the first batch of new residents."
The man in the crystal hat pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't think so. The new residents in the building seem very energetic, but this kid seems timid and his eyes are full of ignorance."
"You can still understand... ignorance?"
The man in the crystal hat nodded proudly: "That's right. I saw some hollow people at the players' camp before, and their eyes are very similar to his."
"However, this kid already has self-awareness, so he shouldn't be an empty shell. I guess he might be a human waiter at the Yorozuya, and probably one who hasn't taken many classes."
"Otherwise, how could he be so dull?"
The crystal-forming person seemed thoughtful: "You're right, but I've heard that many of the humans from the Yorozuya went to that... academy."
"I know you're talking about the Academy of Fools!"
"Yes, it's the Fool's Academy! Has he fallen behind?"
"I don't know, sigh, never mind. Let's hurry up and move the crystal material back to the camp. We finally found some black, shiny crystal material to use for edging the totem. Then the elder's masterpiece will be complete. This totem can become a landmark! This is a great achievement. It wouldn't be good if someone else beat us to it."
As they were talking, the two crystalline figures brushed past the man.
The tense man noticed that the two crystalline beings, after greeting him a few times at the beginning, ignored him and were now completely disregarding him.
This made him feel both relieved and somewhat disappointed.
He had actually been thinking to himself: Could it be that the monster that captured him discovered he had escaped and is now hunting him down?
If that's the case, although he would feel fear, at least he would have a sense of certainty: he had been captured.
But now, the crystal people don't care about him at all, which makes him feel disappointed and empty.
Moreover, he also overheard the conversation between the two crystal beings.
They mentioned new immigrants, the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop), and the Fools' Academy...
He had never heard of any of these.
Most importantly, the two crystal beings were still trying to figure out his identity.
Therefore, he began to think about a question he had always ignored: Who am I?
When he woke up, he carefully hid and then went behind the stone forest to observe. He thought about many things, but he overlooked a fundamental question: Who was he?
I hadn't thought about it before because normal people don't suddenly start thinking about who they are.
The amnesiac might think this way, but he doesn't feel like he has amnesia at all; at least his behavior is logical.
But when you actually think about it in this direction, you realize that he seems to have forgotten who he is? Even his memories of the past seem to be all fragmented...
"Who am I? What was my identity in the past?"
He kept thinking, and images would occasionally flash through his mind, but most of these images were fragmented and lacked clear clues about his identity.
For example, he saw the rolling river, he saw the misty forest, and he saw a stone slab covered with stick figures...
Thinking back even more deeply.
He seemed to see a bustling city street scene, a warm orphanage, and even many children happily surrounding him, calling his name and singing songs...
Wait, they seem to be calling me a priest?
Sean... priest?
When he recalled the title "Clerk Sean," he vaguely felt a sense of peace within him, and almost the instant this feeling arose, he confirmed something.
His name is Sean.
As for the title "priest," it seems to represent his identity?
He was once a clergyman?
A sense of security returned.
Sean immediately realized that he was indeed a clergyman, but he still had no idea which god he was serving, where he was stationed, where the bustling city street scene was, or where the orphanage was.
Perhaps because of the frequent recollections of the past, he is now starting to feel dizzy.
Although he had lost some of his memories, his thought process remained unchanged. He knew very well that in an unfamiliar place, he absolutely could not lose his judgment, especially... he could not faint.
Therefore, he decisively gave up on reminiscing.
Besides, he has now regained his identity and confirmed that he is no longer in the place he used to live in. —At least from the memories, the place he used to live in was surrounded by humans, not these monsters.
With these two clues, he could at least be certain that he had indeed been brought to this monster town by some force or some person.
So what should he do next?
Sean knew he couldn't stay in this stone forest forever, and as for leaving the town and going to other places... he felt that was unreliable.
Because he clearly saw that monsters were constantly emerging from the tunnels far from the town and heading out into the outside world.
Based on this flow of people, it's estimated that there are many monsters among the outsiders.
He now has only two choices: either go deeper into the crystal cave to see if there are other passages, or go to Monster Town to gather information.
Personally, he preferred to go deeper into the crystal cave; he didn't want to come into contact with these monsters.
But he hadn't forgotten that the two crystal beings had emerged from the depths of the crystal cave. In other words, monsters also existed deep within the crystal cave, and they might even be lone monsters.
During the monster horde just now, the monsters did not attack him.
However, if placed in a solitary environment with no one else around, the monster might become aggressive.
Just like humans, everyone follows the rules in the bustling city; but in those shady places, dark and evil things may happen.
So, after a moment of contemplation, Sean finally decided to go to Monster Town to check things out.
