#1228 - Dream Link Phase 2

The learning ability of gods is absolutely amazing, especially when it comes to things that are closely related to their own duties. They can even draw inferences about other situations by analogy.

This is the case with Regina's memory projection for Lady Joy.

As the teaching continued, phantoms flew out from Ms. Joy's body and danced around her. Their number instantly exceeded Regina's. The beautiful dance moves were not comparable to her war dance phantoms.

Lady Joy used her divine power to perfectly simulate Regina's war dance phantom field, even better than that.

This is the gap between gods and mortals.

"Okay, okay, okay." Lady Joy cheered, "Since Mr. Road Builder has given me such a great gift, I can't be ignorant of the current situation. I won't stay here to disturb you guys. We will come back when we have the chance."

As he spoke, divine power bloomed from his body and transformed into countless red, orange and yellow hexagrams. They whirled rapidly in the air, forming triangles and landing on the happy believers of the Golden Tower.

When the light faded, not only did the High Priestess of Joy, Clanna, who was the incarnation of Lady Joy's spirit, disappear without a trace, but also not a single Joy follower in the Golden Tower was left alive.

In this way, she signaled to the goddess of wealth, Woking, that she would never interfere with the ministry of wealth again, nor would she block the goddess of wealth's return.

"It seems that I have to owe you a favor again this time." The goddess of wealth, Wu Jin, who had been watching the fun on the side, said, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid this matter would not be so easy to resolve!"

"Ma'am, you are too modest." Gavin said without taking credit for it. "Even without me, you can easily get your priesthood back. It's just that you and Madam Joy are not very happy, but there won't be too much rift. After all, your priesthood relationship is there, and the two are inseparable."

"There are no assumptions about this kind of thing." The Goddess of Fortune responded firmly, "I won't say more. I will express my gratitude with practical actions. Let's continue with what we have not finished before."

"Wait, I'll send Lady Regina back first." Gavin didn't say anything and wrapped Regina with the teleportation light again, but he didn't send her back to the Battle Valley, but directly sent her to the Dragon Oak Dream and handed her over to Lord Virginia.

He was afraid of the long night and many dreams.

He was afraid that the unknown nightmare monster would come to him, and he was also afraid that Regina would not listen to his advice and would still hold on to the Dark Memory Projection Stone after returning to the Battle Valley.

Based on his understanding of her, this was inevitable.

Whether out of guilt or sense of responsibility, even if she knew there was an abyss ahead, she would still jump in.

Since it is difficult to stop it, we should build a shield for it in advance and minimize the danger as much as possible.

We don't ask to block them, we just ask to give them some time to react so that we can rescue them if something happens.

Then again, isn't this also a manifestation of the excellence of one's man?

If he were not outstanding, how could he attract these outstanding women?

Lord Virginia was thinking about all sorts of things, but he had no intention of exposing Regina, and he comforted her, "Sir Gavin, this is also a good intention. Not long ago, we almost suffered a great loss from the Dark Night Serpent, but Mother Earth intervened in time.

For this purpose, we also held a special seminar and made a series of summaries on the Dream War.

The most important point is that if you don't know the other party's origin, you must treat it with caution and treat it as some kind of ancient evil thing or evil god.

Everything is based on protecting oneself, because slightly stronger nightmare monsters usually have the ability of cognitive invasion, especially those that like to devour fear, which use this as an anchor to invade the dreams of those involved and then distort them into nightmares.

Their purpose is to create panic. The more panicked the dreamer is, the stronger their power in the nightmare will be, until they force the master into a desperate situation, thus achieving the purpose of killing in the dream. "

Obviously, after sending Regina over, Gavin had already communicated with Lord Virginia in advance, fearing that Regina would create an information gap in the middle.

This person in charge of intelligence and publicity is absolutely professional in this matter.

"Madam, what you mean is that it is not the nightmare monster that kills the dream owner? It is the dream owner himself? They scare themselves to death?" Regina asked in confusion.

"Most nightmare monsters belong to this category." Lord Virginia nodded in agreement, "Nightmare monsters, like ghost monsters, are in a virtual state. In comparison, they are better at virtual attacks and soul manipulation.

They usually have the ability to amplify fear, especially in nightmares, where it can be amplified hundreds or thousands of times. A small spark of fear can turn into a raging fire.

For those who have not received special training, their soul consciousness is more fragile than usual in dreams and they are often at a disadvantage.

If you can't distinguish between reality and dreams, you will often be scared to death in your own nightmares, and let those nightmare monsters complete the harvest."

When it comes to dreams, Lord Virginia is now absolutely at a professional level and can talk fluently about the situations of nightmare monsters.

Regina frowned and said, "If that's all, then things are a little too simple, right? As long as we take good care of our dream protection, won't those nightmare monsters have any chance to take advantage of us?"

"Individual power is ultimately limited, but collective power is infinite. The best way to protect dreams is to connect them to collective dreams like the Dragon Oak Dream. Most nightmare monsters cannot invade here. If they really have the courage to come, they will easily become the target of our purification."

Lord Virginia said confidently, "But what we just talked about are just ordinary nightmare monsters. There are also some powerful nightmare monsters that are beyond the scope of ordinary people's cognition.

They tend to break down the barriers between dreams and reality, and nightmares may even invade reality.

It is very likely that we are facing this kind of monster now. Judging from the analysis of a series of data previously collected by the Nightmare Investigation Team, it is definitely not as simple as just carrying out mass killings through nightmares.

It is very likely that this is an act of resurrecting an evil god or summoning an evil creature using the power of the memory projection crystal, and those victims are just a group of pitiful sacrifices. "

Regina nodded repeatedly and said, "That's what I guessed. Through my compilation of the victims' personal records, their situations can be roughly divided into several periods.

I call the first stage the incubation period. The nightmares are clear but there is no physical threat. The residual anxiety after waking up is very strong, and some people have begun to experience panic.

The second stage I call the manifestation stage, when the monster in the nightmare begins to touch the victim's body, such as scratches, bruises, bite marks, etc., and these scars will appear on the flesh.

The victim begins to confuse reality and nightmares and develops mild to moderate hysteria or hallucinations, and fear begins to take over uncontrollably.

The third stage is the victim stage. When the victims reappear, they are in the form of corpses, and no one knows what happened to them.

Were they just frightened to death? Or did the nightmare monster come out of the nightmare and kill them in reality? No one knows!"

"There is nothing wrong with your classification, but it is not comprehensive, because you have only come into contact with regular victims. Not long ago, an unconventional victim appeared and he showed a special disease period..." Lord Virginia stopped speaking halfway.

"Special disease period? What's the special method? Tell me quickly!" Regina asked impatiently.

"It's not impossible to know the stage of this special disease, but there is a prerequisite..."

"What's the premise?" Although she knew that Lord Virginia was trying to tease her with this, Regina still couldn't help but jump in.

"It's very simple. Just cooperate with me to construct your personal dream and protect your soul consciousness. Otherwise, I will not be able to show you some mentally polluting messages." Lord Virginia went back to the task assigned to him by Gavin.

Personal dreams are very personal things. Even though she has begun to dabble in dream priesthood, she cannot do it completely for the person involved. The most important thing is to look at the person himself, and she can only assist from the side.

"You guys are really cunning. You must have colluded in advance." Regina grumbled, but still cooperated. "What do you need from me, ma'am?"

She had previously only resented Gavin's ruthlessness in only talking about business matters, not that she was indiscriminate. She could still feel his concern.

“The process of constructing a personal dream is the process of strengthening self-awareness and cognition. Everyone’s personal dream is different. It may be a small house or a church…

When you enter the dream, this place will become your shelter. I dare not say that it will absolutely protect your safety, but it can keep most harm out... Hey..."

Lord Virginia exclaimed in astonishment, "Don't you already have your own dream?"

As soon as her dream power touched Regina, she reacted immediately. The diamond-studded waist chain around her waist suddenly burst into starlight. It was actually composed of twelve miniature illusion prisms connected end to end.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

These prisms projected different memory afterimages in all directions: sometimes it was the shadow of a singing dragon's wings soaring in the sea of ​​stars, sometimes it was the flash of swords on the battlefield, and finally it froze into the reflection of the War Dance Phantom Tavern, enveloping Regina, and then began to materialize at a speed visible to the naked eye, embedded in Dragon Oak's dream.

"So the domain ability can be used as a personal dream!" Regina said suddenly, "No wonder that nightmare monster hasn't found me yet. It turns out that my dream has been protected."

Then he said eagerly: "I just don't know whether my War Dance Phantom is stronger or those nightmare monsters are stronger? Can I kill them?"

"If you want to test your fighting ability, that's easy enough." Lord Virginia waved his slender hands in the air, and the surrounding scene immediately changed dramatically.

Regina couldn't help but look around curiously.

The scene of peace, singing and dancing disappeared, and was replaced by a fog that had no end in sight. There were many strange shadows in it, as if monsters would try to rush out at any time.

Without waiting for Regina to ask, Lord Virginia took the initiative to explain: "It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Lord Gavin and I have just opened up a new dream battlefield, the Far Sea Swamp Battlefield.

This battlefield is quite special. It also has its own dream core. It has built its own dream and absorbed a large number of souls to merge with reality.

The Dragon Oak Mother Tree is a cross-dimensional tree, and cannot provide real firepower support. Currently, it can only rely entirely on the power of dreams to develop, and the evil dream power has the upper hand..."

Regina said excitedly, "That's a good opportunity for me to test the knife and find new material for my new memory projection. If people in the world understand dreams well enough and know that those nightmare monsters are not unkillable, I believe their fear of nightmare monsters will be reduced a lot.

Even if we can't completely stop the invasion of those nightmare monsters, at least we can slow down the speed at which the fear value increases, and hold out for a little longer under the harassment of those nightmare monsters, buying time for our rescue!"

Now memory projection has become Regina's instinctive thinking mode, and she will immediately relate everything to it.

The speaker may not have any intention, but the listener may take it seriously.

Lord Virginia's eyes sparkled as he said, "If possible, please ask Ms. Regina to help produce a popular science memory projection of dreams, which can not only promote dreams, but also let more people know about Dragon Oak Dreams.

Cognitive infection is not exclusive to evil beings. As the Dragon Oak Dream continues to grow and develop, we are gradually acquiring this ability.

The more people know about Dragon Oak's dream, the more likely it is that their dreams will interact with Dragon Oak's dream, and the more dream fragments will surround Dragon Oak's dream, which is extremely beneficial to our later development. "

“If it’s just a science popularization memory projection, the effect is often unsatisfactory. It’s not as attractive as those with specific storylines. If you incorporate the things you want to popularize into it, the effect will be better.” In this regard, Regina is professional.

"This matter is too simple." Lord Virginia said confidently, "We have a lot of stories to tell.

For example, the origin of the Dragon Oak Dream, the attack of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, the Dragon Oak Mother Tree purifying the Golden Apple Orchard, and even the Dream War we are currently conducting, are all story materials!"

"That's exactly the effect I want." Regina said excitedly, "Now that you mention it, I have all the materials for my next memory projection series, and this series can be continued..."

After two years of exploration and development, Regina has accumulated rich experience in memory projection.

Now there are two branches of projections made by memory projection.

One is biographical in nature, which uses memory projection to record real people and real events, but it is compressed and beautified using artistic editing methods to show the best side in the shortest time.

The Conqueror series, with Gavin as the core character, is the representative work and is currently widely circulated in the continent of Faerun, especially around the Conqueror's Road.

The other is original in nature, like a musical, which is artificially written and filmed, and then made into a memory projection using the same method.

This one takes Regina herself as the core character, and interprets and edits the biographical story of song and dance that she is familiar with.

Before she had the ability to project memories, she was a powerful bard in her own right, and even had her own troupe of dancers in the Battle Valley, who were the backbone of Gavin's propaganda force in the early stages of his development.

Both branches have their own advantages and disadvantages.

When it comes to the artistry and ups and downs of a performance, original creations naturally have an advantage, because they can edit and fabricate as they please, and a lot of times it just depends on whether they dare to think.

But when it comes to popularity, biographical memory projection far exceeds the original, not only because it is real enough, but also because the characters and events in it are closely related to many audiences and have a real impact on their lives.

At least that's the case with the Conqueror series.

Therefore, Regina’s current focus is on biographical nature.

But biographical writing has a fatal flaw, which is that it relies on reality.

You must have sufficiently exciting memories to create an attractive memory projection.

There are very few people like Gavin who have a wonderful life. Most people's life experiences can be compressed into a memory projection, which is more than enough and not necessarily very attractive.

Regina's eyes have long been spoiled by Gavin. She doesn't even look at small productions. She either doesn't make any, or if she does, it has to be a thrilling large-scale production.

The Dragon Oak Mother Tree and the Dragon Oak Dream are good materials.

Apart from anything else, the shape of a natural city supported by the Dragon Oak Tree is enough to shock people and leave an indelible impression on countless people, which is far beyond their cognition.

"If Ms. Regina is really interested, I can directly open the memory of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree to you." Lord Virginia struck while the iron was hot.

"The memory of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree? The Dragon Oak Mother Tree has self-awareness?" Regina asked in surprise.

"Isn't the Dragon Oak Dream the memory of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree?" Lord Virginia asked with a smile.
