"Is she... asleep?"
Looking at Yuelu across from him, who was snoring softly with her head down, Angell's expression showed a hint of astonishment.
He genuinely thought Yue Lu was deep in thought.
Who would have thought that he would fall asleep while deep in thought?
So what should we do now? Wake her up?
As Angell was thinking this, Moon Dew across from him seemed to hear his whisper. She opened her eyes groggily and forced herself to say to Angell, "I'm not asleep."
Looking at Yuelu's stubborn yet somewhat dazed eyes, Angel sighed.
She wasn't completely asleep, but she was close to falling asleep.
He pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked to Yuelu. He extended his index finger and gently touched her brow with it, under her bewildered gaze.
The next second, Yuelu, who was about to fall into a dark vortex, suddenly snapped out of it, shook her head, and clearly perked up a bit.
Although there was still some fatigue in her eyes, at least she was truly awake.
This was because Angell had used the power of Nightmare Illusion to slightly activate some of her thoughts.
Normally, if Angell encountered a little girl who wanted to fall asleep but insisted that she wasn't asleep, he would let her fall asleep.
But today, he still has some questions for Yuelu, and if Yuelu sleeps for eight hours straight and uses up the remaining time she has, she will automatically leave Dawn Dream.
Although there will be another chance for Moon Dew to enter in the future, no one knows when the next opportunity will come...
So he could only resort to some tricks to make Yuelu hold on a little longer.
At this moment, Yue Lu, who had regained her composure, widened her eyes and said, "See? I told you I wasn't asleep."
Angel nodded helplessly: "Okay, okay, I didn't sleep."
"Since you're not asleep, shall we continue our conversation? Or would you like to continue reflecting?"
A thoughtful glint flashed in Yue Lu's eyes. Although she felt she hadn't yet grasped the meaning of the Dream of Dawn for her and needed more time to ponder it, she knew deep down that she really wanted to sleep...
Even though I force myself to stay awake, I haven't completely shaken off the sleepiness.
According to the information given by her older brother, she will not stay in Dawn Dream for long and will be sent back to the Witch's Hut after a certain period of time.
There's still so much she doesn't know about the Dream of Dawn. If she falls asleep right away, it will be a long time before she can find out anything about it again.
With this in mind, Yuelu decided to pause her contemplation and first learn more about the Dream of Dawn.
"What would you like to talk about, big brother?"
Angel: "Let's just chat... Are you planning to talk here, or would you like to go for a walk and talk as we go?"
Without hesitation, Yuelu replied, "Let's talk as we walk."
She had never truly experienced a human city before, and she wanted to see it for herself.
"it is good."
Angell led Moon Dew out of the Lombard Shop.
"Let's go this way. After we get out of here, we can see the River of Troubles. The scenery along the river is actually quite nice."
"I'll listen to my older brother."
So the two chatted briefly as they wandered through Tiewu Alley.
"How do you feel now that you're here?"
"Feeling?" Moon Dew rode slowly on her flying broomstick, following Angel. "What kind of feeling is Big Brother referring to?"
Angell: "You can say whatever you want, from whatever angle you want."
Yuelu thought for a moment and said, "If I had to describe my feelings, I think this place is a bit strange."
"Strange?"
"Yes, it's strange. I don't feel like I'm in the Dreamland, because the power of dreams isn't strong." Moon Dew spread her hands, and a faint mist gathered in her palm, forming a kind of vortex.
Angel's eyes flickered; he could tell at a glance that Moon Dew had just gathered the surrounding dream mist into her hand.
You should know that this dream mist had been stagnant and motionless before, and even strong winds blowing through the streets could not move it.
But at this moment, the dream mist was being freely controlled by the moon dew.
This is the first person Angell has encountered who has brought their own abilities into the Dream Crystal Plains.
Not just abilities, but also tools... Angel glanced at the broom beneath her, which was also an imported extraordinary object.
Why is this?
The only answer Angel could think of was that her body structure was different from others.
Currently, all the challengers in Dream Crystal Plains, including Angel himself, have bodies that are constructed from scratch, rather than brought in from the outside.
Only the Dreamer truly entered the Dream Crystal Plains with his own body.
As a dreamer, Moon Dew did not need to reconstruct her body. She came to the Dream of Dawn with her original body, and naturally brought with her the original body's abilities.
“However, even though the power of dreams is not strong, it wouldn’t be right to say that this place isn’t the Dream Land.” Moon Dew was unaware of Angel’s thoughts; she was still immersed in her own feelings. “I can’t leave the Dream Realm right now. If I do, my body will disintegrate. So, I must still be in the Dream Land right now.”
"That's the first thing that makes me feel 'strange'."
Angell: "I understand, but I can tell you the answer: although the Dream of Dawn is located on the edge of the Dreamland, it is indeed within the Dreamland's territory."
After a pause, Angell continued, "You just said that's only the first thing about it being 'strange,' so there's a second thing, right?"
Yuelu nodded: "Yes, and... yawn..."
Yuelu yawned unconsciously halfway through her sentence.
She abruptly covered her mouth and stole a glance at Angel: "I didn't want to sleep."
Angell simply smiled faintly and offered no comment.
Yuelu coughed and continued, "Yes, there's a second point."
She turned around and looked in the direction of the rumba shop: "The second strange thing is my sense of home... I feel very far away from home, but I can vaguely feel the connection to home."
"It's like I can just turn around and go home again?"
This feeling of being both "far and near" is what Yuelu finds strange.
Angel thought for a moment and replied, "Because the Dream of Dawn only invited you to be a guest. Since you are a guest, you must be sent back safely after the visit."
"Therefore, your connection with the Witch's Hut has not actually been severed."
Yuelu nodded; she had guessed that this might be the reason.
Eight hours later, she will be transported back to the Witch's Hut by the will of the Dawn Dream. This also means that her connection with the Witch's Hut is very strong.
"Sigh." Yue Lu sighed, "I thought it would be like Qi Qi, going to a new place to grow, but I didn't expect it would just be half a day to broaden my horizons."
Angell: "Exploring the outside world also requires a balance. Isn't it better to start by exploring a safe area?"
Yuelu nodded: "Big brother is right. If Mom were here, she would probably agree to this exploration mode as well."
Is there a third strange point?
"Yes!" Yuelu: "The third point is strange, and it's also the strangest thing to me."
She said very seriously, "After I came here, I had a feeling that this place has a sense of order that is not found in the regular dreamland, but there is also a certain disorder within the order."
This is the strangest thing about Yuelu.
The reason she had been deep in thought for so long was not only because she was organizing the information she had gathered, but also because she was trying to sense the power of dreams here.
Using the power of dreams, we can make a comprehensive assessment of this "dreamland".
Her assessment was that it was both regular and chaotic.
How can it not be strange that words with completely opposite meanings describe the same region?
Angell could understand the "order" that Moon Dew spoke of. The Dream of Dawn was created by the power of the Fairy Realm, and its underlying rules must be clear and orderly. The "order" can be seen from the production and consumption logic chain of Dream Bubble, Dream Guest, Dawn Points and Dawn Shop.
But he couldn't understand the "chaos" Yue Lu mentioned for the time being.
"Big brother doesn't understand chaos?"
Yuelu looked puzzled: "Big brother, don't you think there are holes everywhere here? It's like...it's like..."
"I've got it. It's like an insect nest. It looks like a single structure, but it's covered with tiny, dense holes."
The metaphor of moon and dew confused Ingres even more.
Perhaps Blanche and Camillo could understand, after all, they are dream wizards and understand dreams better...
Seeing that Angel's expression was still blank, Yuelu didn't know how to explain for a moment. Then she suddenly sensed something and pointed to the two-story building next to the alley entrance: "There, look there..."
Angell looked in the direction she was pointing.
She was referring to the second-floor balcony, but Angel didn't notice anything unusual at first.
Just as Angell decided to look at it from God's perspective, the air near the second-floor balcony suddenly distorted, and then a small dream bubble appeared there.
Seeing this, Angell vaguely understood what Moon Dew meant.
From Moon Dew's perspective, she saw that the Dream of Dawn had many "holes" that connected to the sea beyond the dream.
The outer sea of dreams is inherently disordered, filled with a vast amount of dreamscapes.
Therefore, when she sensed the atmosphere of the sea outside the dream, she naturally assumed it was a kind of disorder.
But in reality, that's not the case.
The truth is that these holes do not actually connect to the outer sea of dreams, but rather anchor the Dawn City region of the outer sea of dreams, transforming the dreamscape of Dawn City into dream bubbles and bringing them into the dream of Dawn.
The dream bubble is essentially a core part of the dawn dream. It may seem disordered, but it is not disordered; it is just presented in a different form.
The root cause is still located within the logical chain.
Angel briefly explained these details to Moon Dew, including the chain of "Dream Bubble, Dreamer, Dawn Points, and Dawn Shop".
These were things Yuelu hadn't known before, but after smelling them, her little brain suddenly felt overwhelmed.
She was already feeling a bit dizzy, and now she felt even more dizzy and sleepy.
Fortunately, the city scenery, serving as a psychological anchor, still attracted her, allowing her to resist the urge to sleep and continue walking with Angell.
They left Tiewu Lane and came to the River of Troubles.
Take a leisurely stroll along the river.
The slightly swift river water splashed up sprays of mist, and walking along the riverbank, one could feel the refreshing coolness from time to time, which barely suppressed Yue Lu's drowsiness.
During this leisurely stroll, Moon Dew inquired further about information regarding the Dream of Dawn.
Having learned about the anchor point, that the Dream of Dawn was anchored to Dawn City, and that all "Dream Bubbles" originated from Dawn City...
This also made Yuelu a little suspicious.
"Then why is my dream bubble here?"
Her witch's cottage isn't in Dawn City, but deep in the sea beyond dreams. Logically, this doesn't fit Dawn's dream-bubble-capturing strategy, does it?
Faced with Moon Dew's question, Angel didn't know how to answer.
We can't exactly say that this is the work of fate behind Juanjuan, can we?
But upon closer examination, even if there is indeed the force of fate interfering, the Dream of Dawn should still conform to basic principles when it is generating dream bubbles.
Therefore, Angell personally believes that Moon Dew's Dream Bubble can actually anchor Dawn City.
Angel shared his thoughts, and after a moment of thought, Yuelu said softly, "I think I understand what you mean, big brother. You're right. Although my mother and I have never been to reality, we both have a real-world anchor point. My mother's anchor point is in a place called Milk Spring Village, while mine is in Dawn City."
"So, from this perspective, it's reasonable for my dream bubble to appear here."
When Angor was at the Witch's Hut, Moon Dew had mentioned her anchor point in reality, but Angor hadn't asked about it before. Now that Moon Dew had brought it up herself, he followed her lead and inquired about it.
"Is the anchor point in reality because you have a physical embodiment in reality?"
Moon Dew shook her head: "It's not a vessel, but I don't know how to explain it... You can think of it as, if I could descend into reality one day, I would definitely descend into the Lombard Shop in Dawn City."
Angell roughly understood.
What she was saying was actually a reflection of reality.
For example, many areas in the Southern Region reflect the Nightmare Realm, which is essentially the same thing.
Some say this reflection is due to karmic connections, while others say it's a random occurrence; it's hard to say who's right.
But regardless of the type, the coordinates of this mapping are difficult to define.
Just as Yue Lu herself said, her mother Yue Ling's real-world anchor point was Milk Spring Village in the Source World, while she herself came to Dawn City. The two points are far apart. If the void of the universe is taken as the coordinate axis, the two ends are completely in different quadrants.
In reality, the spacetime distance is at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dimensions.
It should be noted that the distance between the Southern Region and the Manro Plane is only one percent of the spacetime distance. An ordinary wizard, even with a clear beacon, would need to drift in the void for nearly a month to reach it.
It can be seen.
But in the dream world, Moon Bell and Moon Dew live in the same witch's cottage.
Compared to the distance in reality, it's like night and day.
Angor now finally understood why the Flower Moon Fairy, who never left Milk Spring Village, would come from the distant Source World to Dawn City to create a small shop called Rumbadi.
Because the coordinates of Moon Dew were reflected in Dawn City!
……
The moon dew stopped on a bridge spanning the city.
Leaning against the bridge railing, she gazed into the distance at the vast River of Troubles.
Very beautiful.
But I'm also very sleepy.
She felt she couldn't hold on any longer.
Previously, she would fall asleep while the fairy sister told her a bedtime story, but now she has been staying awake for more than two hours longer.
Although she still tried to deny that she was tired, her body was already at its limit.
She forced her already drooping eyelids open and looked at Angel: "Big brother, I'm a little sleepy... Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Angell thought for a moment, then took out the crystal rose and asked about it.
Yuelu forced herself to explain for a while.
Not long after she finished speaking, she yawned widely, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
Before falling asleep, she was still muttering softly, "I want to sleep here tonight, I want to fall asleep to the sound of water..."
