When Xia De suddenly realized that he was falling into a long and deep dream, he noticed that he was standing on the ridge of a field in the endless wilderness, looking at the huge moon disk that was almost falling in the sky.
The wind in the wilderness under the starry sky was very gentle, but it seemed to have the scent of girls' perfume in it. The silver moon was reflected in Xia De's eyes. He opened his eyes wide, took a slow, deep breath, and felt extremely relaxed. He even vaguely felt that his sleeping body was extremely peaceful.
Even though he realized he was dreaming, he still stood still on the ridge of the field and looked at the moon. He was very familiar with this dream of his, and in this dream, he only needed to look at the moon.
You seemed to have a good time during the past five hours
The gentle breeze brought "her" voice, and the active subconscious in the dream allowed Xia De to understand "her" words and get one step closer to the "awakening" state.
In his dream, he was aware of the situation around his sleeping body. It was still three hours before dawn. The bedroom was very dark with only the sound of even breathing, and the girls had fallen into a deep sleep.
Since he was dreaming, Shade even suspected that what happened just now was also his dream. Luvia was the most shy one among the three, while Resia, who theoretically didn't know her at all but was actually very familiar with her, was the boldest one. The princess, who had a fiery personality like the color of her long hair, successfully helped Luvia, who was doing "multi-person tango" for the first time, gradually adapt to the atmosphere. At the same time, it also made the outsiders understand that the imagination of this era is actually not poorer than that of their hometown.
Recalling what happened just now, but still looking at the moon, he suddenly said in his dream:
"Now let's carry out the dreaming ritual."
Xia De arranged the ritual materials given by the doctor under his bed yesterday, but unfortunately the moon phase last night did not meet the requirements.
Although his original idea was to perform the ceremony the night after the exam, since Luvia was already here tonight and she was really sleeping soundly, he might as well carry out the plan today.
In the dim room, the new bed that Her Royal Highness the Princess had changed for Xia De was still covered by curtains all around. The right hand that was held by the writer suddenly moved, but it was just a silent snap of the fingers.
No one noticed this action, but the four golden candles with three short and one long candles placed under the bed started burning after the snap. The flames slightly escaped from under the bed, but for the three tired girls, this little flame was not enough to wake them up.
Although the bed board was made of wood, the candles did not set it on fire because the black hexagonal metal plate was firmly attached to the back of the bed board. The candlelight illuminated the complex ritual array on the metal plate. As the conch-like runes on the metal plate lit up one by one in the firelight, the light under the bed became brighter.
There was already incense in the room, and the scent of the special incense that Leicia had specially prepared now had the fragrance of sleeping grass. This would make the girls fall into a deeper sleep, and after waking up, they would feel that the quality of their sleep was very good.
In the dream, Shade, who barely controlled his body to light the candle, was still looking at the silver moon. As Dr. Schneider's ritual began to affect him, he clearly felt himself going from a half-awake state to a deep sleep again.
Can you guess what you'll see in a moment
"She" asked in Xia De's ear with a smile, her voice as gentle as the wind on the ridge of the field.
"I just hope that the dream Luvia is having now is really the dream I want to see."
This extremely demanding dream ritual not only requires the dreamer to have great trust in the caster, but also requires the two to have physical contact. Now Luvia is lying in Shade's arms, and the conditions have been met.
In his dream, he recited the spell given by Dr. Schneider, which belonged to the alien race "Dream Eater Fairy". As the spell was recited in the dream, a black door with circles of threads suddenly appeared on Shade's right hand side, standing on the grass in the wilderness. Judging from the material, the door seemed to be made of some kind of giant shellfish, and the threads on it made Shade feel a headache at a glance.
Without hesitation, he pushed open the door and walked in.
"oh!"
The summer sun was even a little dazzling. When Shade walked out of the door, he subconsciously raised his hand to block his eyes. Squinting his eyes and looking around, he saw that this was actually the very familiar King's study in the Yodel Palace. At this time, the summer sun shone in from the colorful window behind the desk, making the ground seem to be shining. The atmosphere of this dream was completely different from what Shade had imagined.
Tiny golden cracks spread from the raised hand. Xia De watched the bright light on the fingers extend all the way to the wrist, and then spread to the whole body. In the golden light, there were also faint red sparks that were difficult to detect. In the deep dream, the soul will show a more real posture, so the "divine afterglow" will appear.
Looking around again, although this is the king's study, it is different from the one that Shade had seen many times before, with a lonely desk in the middle. In the dream study, not only are there more furniture, the paintings on the walls are different, and even the person sitting behind the desk, wearing a crown, is different.
Leicia Cavendish was sitting in her father's seat, wearing a crown on her red hair and a gorgeous dress. Maids stood behind her, and several ministers of the kingdom whom Shade had seen in newspapers and in real life were standing in front of the desk and respectfully reporting something to Leicia. On the long and imposing table with documents, there was a red cushion, on which lay the lazy Mia.
Look, she really has feelings for your cat.
In the dream state, as long as he did not disturb the dreamer, it would be difficult for the dreamer to take the initiative to notice him, so Xia De walked to the desk and looked at the black and white family photo on the table.
Leithia and Dorothy sat side by side on an embroidered couch, both wearing identical crowns and long dresses. Black and white photos make it difficult to distinguish colors, but Shad still guessed that the red-haired girl was wearing a gold dress and the blonde was wearing a red dress. As for Shad, he was standing behind the couch in the photo holding a cat, and he was also dressed formally.
Although he knew that he seemed to have entered the wrong dream, he still smiled.
At this moment, there was a knock on the study door, and the maid said at the door:
"Your Majesty, Miss Louisa has arrived."
So the dreaming Leicia asked the ministers to leave first, and then Dorothy in a princess dress came in. The writer and Her Majesty the Queen hugged each other with a smile, then picked up Mia, talked about lunch, Shad, and the trivialities of life, and left through the door.
Xia De frowned slightly at this time, standing in the light of the study, looking at the backs of the two people in the corridor:
"What's going on? Why are Dorothy and Leicia both the masters of the dream? Can two people share the same dream?"
It is actually very simple to distinguish the dreamer from other people in the dream. Unless the dreamer has received certain professional training, it is possible to hide the self in the dream. And Dorothy and Lesia just now are undoubtedly the dreamers.
To touch them, to touch them in dreams, is a deeper way of touching them.
Xia De took a few quick steps to catch up with the two girls who were walking in the corridor surrounded by maids, and put both hands on their shoulders at the same time.
Taking the initiative to contact the owner of the dream also made them aware of Shade's existence. For a moment, the space itself shook violently, as if the world was about to collapse. But when Leixia and Dorothy turned around and saw that it was Shade, the dream stabilized again.
They were not surprised by the strange effects on Shad's body, but all smiled.
"It was a great night, Knight, but now I really can't do it..."
The writer blushed and said something that was totally inconsistent with her dream. She didn't realize she was dreaming, but said it instinctively:
"Have a good rest, and let's go around the city together tomorrow. Luvia agreed to give us some time only after Resia called her 'sister' in person."
This is an answer that Xia De would never be able to ask in reality.
"That was a great performance, Shade."
Leicia, who was wearing a crown, also said this, but there was some regret on her face:
"The end of the year is all about happiness. You made me feel your passion, strength and... If you are not satisfied, how about calling Ajelina next time? Or, my personal maids will not refuse..."
"No, no, it's a very beautiful night. Go and get some rest, maybe it would be nice to have some tea in the courtyard."
Shade immediately stopped her from continuing. Leisia showed just the right amount of confusion on her face, but still nodded:
"See you later, my prince."
Shad stood there, watching Dorothy and Lesia holding hands, led and followed by a group of maids, walking towards the sunny corridor illuminated by the light and shadows of the windows.
It seemed to be summer in the dream, and the sunshine was unusually bright, which also reflected the mood of the two dream creators.
"How about it?"
This was indeed a dream shared by both of them. The excessive closeness of their souls caused this phenomenon.
"Will it speed up the fusion of their two souls?"
No, it will make the soul fusion state more stable. You can think of it as using the power of the Twin Red Butterflies to break the taboo of not being able to get close to each other, and the souls get too close, but because of your existence, they don't want to lose themselves, so the souls stabilize.
"In other words, the existence of Red Butterfly Day is beneficial?"
Yes, but it cannot completely stop the soul fusion process. And, it must be like tonight, to make their souls... ...excited, resonated... ...you know what you did.
Xia De nodded:
"But this can only delay the disease, not cure it."
Yes.
After he watched Dorothy and Lesia disappear from view, he recited the spell provided by Dr. Schneider again, turned around and pushed open another black spiral door.
