Chapter 4416 New Changes
Seeing that the fog seemed to be changing, Camillo originally wanted to remind Blanche, but in the end she decided against it.
He noticed that although the fog had thickened, the degree of stagnation had not increased significantly; in addition, Blanche was still seriously working on her dream conception, and he was afraid of disturbing her inspiration.
Moreover, the changes in the fog might also be related to the construction of the dream?
So in the end, he said nothing and just observed silently from the sidelines.
However, Camillo was unaware that at the same time, some changes were also taking place in the Uriel instance.
Luigi was sitting lazily on the swing outside the travel cabin, strumming his guitar, when suddenly a mist began to rise.
Within minutes, wisps of mist began to drift across the entire instance.
"Is it foggy again?" Luigi looked at the fog drifting in the sky, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
The Uriel instance has always been shrouded in fog, but such a large fog is still rare.
It has only appeared twice so far.
The first dense fog caused this miniature garden to expand for the first time, resulting in the narrow and elongated Murren Street.
The second instance is the appearance of the previous Misty Forest instance, where a large gate opened in front of a withered tree amidst swirling mist.
Now, however, a third time has occurred.
Luigi murmured to himself, "Could something have changed again?"
Thinking of this, Luigi instinctively wanted to contact Angell to tell him about the situation; however, looking at the familiar rising and falling fog, he suddenly remembered the first time there was such a thick fog.
The reason why the dungeon expanded and Murren Street was revealed was because of... Blanche and others' cross-border smuggling.
Because of their arrival, the powers of the Fairy Realm specially assigned them identity tasks and a temporary place to stay—an apartment building on Murren Street.
So, upon reflection, Luigi felt he had finally understood.
It seems that this dense fog was also the work of the Wonderland's powers, because... Blanche brought Rigota here by smuggling.
This corresponds perfectly to the script during the first foggy period.
With that in mind, Luigi temporarily suppressed the urge to contact Angor, deciding that it wouldn't be too late to do so once Rigota and the others successfully arrived at the instance.
Now, let's play the piano!
With swirling fog and howling winds, this environment is perfect for a doomsday medley.
The anxious notes, accompanied by soaring vocals, drifted through the thick fog, adding a strange and bright touch to this perilous scene.
……
The fog in the boundary wall thickened to a certain extent before it eased up again.
Camillo tested it again and confirmed that the stagnation around him had not increased. Only then did he feel relieved and begin to wait silently for Blanche's new dream concept.
While waiting, Camillo gazed into the depths of the mist, pondering a question—
Why is the situation different this time compared to before?
Previously, it was easy to cross the boundary wall, but now a stagnant zone has appeared. What exactly happened here?
"Could it be that the world's will is self-repairing?" Camillo murmured.
He couldn't think of any other reason. The only possibility was that they had exploited a loophole to sneak into the Uriel instance, which led to the current situation.
Upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense.
If Dream Crystal had its own consciousness, it certainly wouldn't want any vulnerabilities in its home.
Back then, Blanche led them into the Uriel instance, which, to put it bluntly, meant creating a hole in the Dream Crystal Plains.
It's perfectly normal for Dream Crystal to repair this hole.
It's like if there's an extra hole in his own estate, he'll find a way to patch it up to prevent outsiders from sneaking in.
As for why not only was it filled in, but a stagnant zone was also added?
It's highly likely that this is to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
If a thief can make one hole in your house, he can certainly make a second one. To avoid this situation, it's reasonable to dig a "protective moat" in front of your house.
With this in mind, Camillo was basically certain that this stagnant zone must have been created by the world's will.
Of course, it's also possible that it was caused by the "fairy power" mentioned by Angel and Luigi.
Whoever created this stagnant zone, its essence was to prevent outsiders from entering.
In this situation, is it really okay for them to force their way in?
Just as Camillo was thinking this, Blanche suddenly let out a cry of pain.
Camillo quickly turned his head to look.
But then they saw that Blanche's forehead was covered in sweat, and her body was convulsing and trembling.
Camillo was startled when he saw this.
Normally, consciousness in the dream world is illusory; there's no way there could be sweat, let alone spasms. Therefore, there's only one possibility for Blanche's condition...
Her own body was also convulsing and sweating!
Upon seeing this, Camillo instinctively wanted to "wake up".
But Blanche seemed to sense his movement and hurriedly pleaded breathlessly, "Teacher...no...please!"
Once Camillo chooses to awaken, he will immediately rush to her real-world body to try to wake her up, at which point all the previous efforts here will be in vain.
Moreover, Rigota is still here. If they wake up but don't take Rigota with them, her consciousness is very likely to be crushed by the stagnant zone.
Therefore, even though Blanche felt excruciating pain all over her body, she quickly stopped herself.
Camillo looked at Blanche's sweat-drenched eyelashes and the pleading look in her eyes, and finally stopped: "How are you now?"
"I, I'm... fine..." Blanche gasped, seemingly trying to calm the violent trembling in her chest. But she was also worried that Camillo would "wake up," so she tried her best to open her mouth wide and speak while panting, but this only made her unable to utter a single word.
Camillo sighed: "I won't wake up immediately. Take your time to recover."
Upon hearing this, Blanche let out a sigh of relief, gave Camillo a grateful look, and then silently tried to calm her discomfort.
During this process, Camillo could clearly see that Blanche's forehead veins bulged from time to time, as if she was enduring something.
Clearly, she wasn't really "okay"; she was just suppressing her pain.
Camillo didn't know what had happened either. Even though she really wanted to wake up and see what was going on, she held back because of the promise she had made to Blanche.
Several minutes later.
Blanche seemed to have finally recovered. Although she could still occasionally gasp for breath, her condition was clearly much better than before.
Only then did Camiro breathe a sigh of relief.
But seeing Blanche completely soaked in sweat, Camillo was still worried: "How are you feeling? Can you hold on?"
"If all else fails, I'll get Rigota out of the stagnant zone first, and then I'll wake up..."
Blanche quickly shook her head: "No."
"Teacher, please stop."
After catching her breath, Blanche said, "I'm fine now. Except for the occasional throbbing in my head, I'm all better."
"A throbbing pain in your head?" Camillo looked at Blanche in confusion. "What happened? Why did it suddenly..."
Blanche took a deep breath: "I don't really know either."
She recalled the previous situation.
“I was originally building a new dream concept, and I also chose the framework of the story background, using the very famous book ‘Ship of Troy’ as the setting.”
"But for some reason, I found it particularly difficult to construct my dream concept from the very beginning."
Previously, in other dream realms, Blanche had no trouble constructing dream designs at all. Not to mention one dream design, she could even construct multiple dream designs with ease.
But when I was building my dream here, I felt unprecedented pressure.
“It felt like…” Blanche tried to recall the situation, but she didn’t know how to describe it, “like I was building blocks deep in the mud.”
Everything was stagnant.
"Moreover, I need to expend a lot of energy for each step."
"Most importantly, I need to be able to work at full power to barely complete the initial design."
It's important to know that Blanche's dream-creating talent has rarely been at full power since its inception. Even if it did appear once or twice, it was before she embarked on the path of a wizard.
At that time, she did not know how to use the power of dreams as fuel for her talent to operate, and relied entirely on her talent to force it, which led to the full output of her talent.
After becoming a Dream Apprentice, this situation never occurred again.
But now, she has once again unleashed her full potential and talent for creating dreams.
“But I have no choice. If I don’t fully utilize my talent, I simply can’t build the framework of the dream.” Blanche said, somewhat helplessly, “I feel like this area is targeting me.”
It was precisely because she was giving full play to her talents and squeezing out all her talent power to build the framework of her dream that she experienced a sharp, needle-like pain in her head and was drenched in sweat from the pain all over her body.
This is a sign of the depletion of one's innate talent.
"Fortunately, before my final talent power was about to run out, I completed the framework of my dream. After that, I don't need to consume talent power; I just need to dismantle the starship and send it directly into it."
As she said this, Blanche, despite her discomfort, smiled at Camillo, her expression one of triumph over evil.
Looking at Blanche's pale and weak face, Camillo sighed deeply: "Your feeling is right. If nothing unexpected happens, this area is indeed targeting you."
Blanche was taken aback: "?"
Camillo explained softly, "I've been thinking about it carefully just now, and the reason this stagnant zone appeared is most likely due to the self-repair of the world's will."
Blanche paused for a moment.
Camillo continued, recounting his speculations and analysis in detail.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Blanche and said, "The world's will is like a homeowner who discovered that the last time a thief broke into his house, it was because the thief was agile and climbed over the wall."
"After that, he learned his lesson and created the stagnation zone as a moat."
"The stagnation zone not only blocks outsiders, but also specifically targets thieves' agility, making it very difficult for you to climb over the wall like last time."
Although Camillo's words weren't exactly straightforward, Blanche still understood.
Last time, Blanche used her Dream Talent to sneak into the Uriel instance; although the World Will did not show any reaction on the surface, it was secretly studying countermeasures.
After all, nobody wants their home to be constantly broken into by people climbing over the walls.
Thus, this stagnant zone came into being.
Even Blanche's dream-building process has become more difficult, which is undoubtedly due to the world's will targeting her.
Blanche was silent for a moment, then nodded gently: "I agree with what the teacher said."
The only things that can influence the situation outside the boundary are the will of the world or the power of the fairy realm, and these two are essentially one.
"But even if I knew the truth, it wouldn't matter."
"I won this time too."
Despite having exhausted her talent, Blanche still managed to construct the framework for a new dream.
This also means that the world's targeted strategy against her has been forcibly broken by her!
Camillo thought for a moment, then nodded slightly in agreement with Blanche's words.
Come to think of it, Blanche's dream-setting talent is a mysterious-level talent, so breaking through the encirclement is quite reasonable.
but……
“We have now confirmed that it is the will of the world that created this stagnant zone; it is it that is hindering us.” Camiro: “Are you really sure you want to continue?”
"After all, if we were to smuggle ourselves out again, it would be tantamount to forcibly reopening the wounds of the world's will."
"It might not let us off so easily like it did last time."
Blanche understood Camillo's meaning. What the teacher was worried about was that if they tried to smuggle themselves across the border again, the world's will might react and even punish them.
But Blanche herself felt that the teacher was worrying too much.
“I talked to the black cat Juanjuan before, and from it I learned that the world's will itself has no subjective consciousness.”
Juanjuan told Blanche a lot of information about the World Will, so Blanche could be sure that the World Will would not have the emotional changes of intelligent beings.
In other words, no matter how many mistakes you make, it won't get angry.
They will just try their best to block the way you make mistakes.
This is the operating logic of the world's will; it doesn't act based on emotions, but on rules.
Therefore, Blanche believes: "Even if we smuggle ourselves out again, the world's will won't do anything to us, but it will definitely intensify its efforts to fix the loopholes."
"In other words, if we want to use this method to smuggle ourselves out again next time, the difficulty will increase again. At that time, even my dream-making talent may not be able to break through."
"However, we probably won't have another time to smuggle people across the border. Rigota will be our last time."
Camillo was eventually persuaded.
Since Blanche had already used the black cat Juanjuan as an endorsement, he naturally couldn't say anything more.
In Blanche's view, the little black cat might just be Mr. Sun and Ms. Moon's pet, but Camillo, who had met them many times, knew very well that even Ms. Moon would show respect when facing the black cat, Tired.
This little black cat's background is probably no less impressive than that of the Sun and Moon Wizard.
Therefore, Camillo accepted Blanche's explanation.
Of course, most importantly, Blanche's logic is sound; the world's will indeed not punish someone based on emotions.
Because the world's will has no emotions at all.
