When he opened his eyes, Roland felt the weight from his arm.
Turning her head slightly, Anna's peaceful and serene sleeping face came into his field of vision. She leaned on her side, resting her head on the crook of his arm, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was dreaming a beautiful dream.
Fortunately... he can still escape the dream world in this way.
Roland carefully pulled out his arms, rolled over and got up. After covering Anna with the quilt, he left the room lightly.
Walking down the stairs, the soldiers stationed at the entrance of the corridor hurriedly stood up and saluted him one after another.
He waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to care, and came to the lobby on the first floor step by step.
Then Roland saw Phyllis.
The latter stood in the center of the hall with a look of loss on her face. She lowered her head and looked at her clenched hands repeatedly, as if she was still reminiscing the moment when her limbs regained touch.
It appears that the answer is the former.
The dream world is still under the control of his consciousness.
When he wakes up, the world comes to a standstill, and outsiders who enter it are forcibly expelled.
"Your Majesty, I..." Seeing Roland, she pursed her lips and tried her best to squeeze out a little smile, "My dream is awake."
It can be seen that for a moment, the God's Punishment Witch's thought that she would rather be trapped in a dream forever prevailed. Because she had no choice, in order to continue to fight the devil, she had to transform into an undead, the price to pay. Soaring over time, it's not surprising to falter now in the face of the allure of a new world.
But in the end, she still suppressed this emotion, perhaps for the sake of Taquila's compatriots, perhaps because of her obsession with the devil, or both, but no matter what, this powerful self-discipline Let Roland admire secretly.
"It's not certain yet," he smiled, "the test is only half completed, and we have to confirm the second half before we can know whether this is an accident or something that must happen when the beams of light overlap... Let's continue here. ."
Phyllis was slightly taken aback, "Aren't you going back to the bedroom?"
"You don't have to wake Anna," Roland shook his head. "Anyway, there is heating in the castle, so sleeping in the parlour is the same." He summoned a guard to give a few words, the latter's eyes widened in surprise, but still faithfully Executed his order.
After a quarter of an hour, a layer of cushions and quilts were laid on the long table in the living room.
In this way, a group of soldiers who were completely clueless guarded the living room, leaving only Roland alone, while Phyllis stayed in the hall with everyone, waiting for the beam of light to appear.
It has to be said that it is indeed difficult to fall asleep the second time, especially when the answer to the puzzle is revealed.
Roland tossed and turned for a long time, until the sky turned white, and then fell asleep.
The new world resumed operation in an instant.
To his surprise, this time the time in the dream was not forced to move to the next morning. There was still a colorful neon night scene outside the window, the ladder was still at the head of the bed, and Phyllis's eyes were recovering little by little. , and then looked down at Roland in disbelief as if he had suddenly woken up from a daze.
"Your Majesty, this... is this true? I'm not dreaming, am I?"
He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
The answer is self-evident.
What is a dream and what is real may no longer be important to God's Punishment Witch.
The important thing is that after bearing hundreds of years of suffering and responsibility, she finally ushered in the reward.
…
This time, the two only stayed in the dream world for a short period of time.
Roland thought she would be impatient to go out for a walk, but he didn't expect that the first thing the other party did was to bend down and get down on one knee, begging him to allow him to tell the news to other companions, and the Taquila survivors would always remember it. his kindness, and did his best to serve him.
Facing this request, Roland rarely responded immediately.
It's not that he has any opinion on the Taquila witch, it's just that he doesn't know how to feed so many people, and more importantly, just one Phyllis can make Zero suspicious, and he can't possibly use more. The more than one hundred witches who lived there are said to be distant relatives.
As the second creator of the dream world, Roland would never want to involve the little girl in these matters. If she were made to perceive something wrong with the world, it would be hard to predict what kind of changes would happen. As a precautionary measure, the Taquila witch must not stay at home.
Then he needs a place where many witches can live, such as an entire apartment and the like, plus daily expenses such as food and clothing, this cost is obviously not a small amount.
After thinking for a while, Roland finally decided to let the witches solve this problem by themselves.
The moment of silence probably made Phyllis misunderstand what he meant. She bit her lip, folded her other leg, fell to her knees, and pleaded again. This gesture has surpassed the boundaries of the Taquila witch ceremony, and this kind of gift is only given when ordinary people meet the higher-ranking members of the Federation. Roland tried to pull her up, but she insisted on it, only begging him not to keep those companions out of the new world.
It was only then that he noticed the other party's misunderstanding, and after he slowly revealed his plans without laughing or crying, Phyllis let out a sigh of relief.
In fact, for Roland, accepting the Taquila remnants was not as difficult as she thought.
In the dream world, they are not a group of brute force of the God's Punishment Army, but witches with various magical abilities, and they will not be restricted by the God's Punishment Stone.
With such a group of people as helpers, not to mention that the means and efficiency of exploring the dream world can be doubled. Just a person who helps memorize and transcribe knowledge can benefit him a lot. In the long run, they might also be able to learn all kinds of knowledge and use modern equipment to study the nature of magic. Of course, the most important point is that even after the War of Divine Will is over, the Taquila witches can find a place to settle in the new world.
After leaving the dream, Phyllis couldn't even wait for the sky to fully light up, so she said goodbye to Roland in a hurry, and ran towards the second frontier city excitedly.
The latter yawned and went back to the bedroom.
Climbing into the warm quilt and hugging Anna back into her arms, the girl opened her sullen eyes and mumbled vaguely, "Wake up so early today?"
"Well, I went to the dream world for a walk," he kissed the other person's forehead, "and then encountered something unexpected, and couldn't fall asleep after that."
"Oh?" The girl's breath was like a soft feather, sliding gently between his neck and neck, "Is it a good dream?"
"Of course," Roland changed into a comfortable position and put her back in his arms. "It will be a good dream for everyone."
