Chapter 657: Vito, the Legendary Arcanist

"That's good." Gavin knew that for the legendary arcanist, the most terrifying thing in the Lost Land was not the monsters, but the loneliness of being left alone between heaven and earth. Even the gods would go crazy, not to mention a person. "Do you want me to control the speed of the story here? Or rewrite the sequel of the story and send you some real soldiers and residents?"

"Maintain the status quo for now. The more elements introduced into this experiment, the easier it is to give birth to various uncontrollable variables. You have done enough. There is no need to intervene excessively now. When there is a need, I will tell you naturally." The legendary arcanist obviously regarded this matter as a unique magic experiment.

"Teacher, please tell me if you need anything. I will do my best." Gavin was quick to follow her advice. In this regard, Felancini was an expert and it was right to listen to her.

"Since you need to go to Cormier next, please help me do one thing. Find the location indicated by this statue and see what is there." Felancini handed a palm-sized statue to Gavin.

This is one of the most unique statues Gavin has ever seen.

Normally, a statue is a physical object. Everything is set when it is made.

The statue that Flancini handed to Gavin was different. Although it was not big, it was lifelike, showing a tall and beautiful female figure. However, no matter how Gavin changed the angle, zoomed in or out, or used the five-ring spell True Sight, he could not see her face clearly. Everything seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog.

This situation was exactly the same as the feeling Flancini gave Gavin. Although the two were in the same room, not only did they sit face to face, but they even had some intimate body movements. Everything happened naturally. They were just one step away from breaking through the last bottom line. The reason why they did not break through was because they were both worried that they would be affected by the legendary arcanist and drag Gavin to the lost land.

But even with actual physical contact, Felanxini still gave Gavin a dreamlike sense of unreality. All contact with her was like a dream. No matter how hard he tried, he could not see Felanxini's true face clearly. It was like there were three layers of veils between them. He could only feel that she was extremely beautiful.

All this reached an extreme after breaking up with Felanxini on a moonless night. In his mind, the legendary arcanist was left with only a name and an illusory shadow. Not to mention her face, even her body outline could not be recalled. Then, as the moon became round again, his memory of her would become clearer and clearer until the two met again, and then they pieced everything together.

This situation was obviously not a problem with Gavin's memory, nor was it that the two really had a tryst in a dream.

Gavin had compiled the Dragon Oak Dream with Lord Virginia and had seen what a real dream looked like. As long as one's soul consciousness was strong enough, even a dream could become as real as reality. Gavin's three internal attributes now even surpassed most legendary spellcasters, but this situation still occurred, indicating that the problem was not with him, but that Felanxini was shrouded by a special law, which was closely related to the distance between the two worlds.

When the distance between the two worlds was shortened, the memory was naturally clear, and vice versa. Once the two worlds were completely isolated, all memories of Felanxini in Faerun would be erased by this power, just like the legendary arcanist had never existed in this world.

This characteristic not only applies to Felanxini, but also to those creatures swallowed by the Lost Land, especially those investigators. When they investigated the Lost Land, established contact with it, and were slowly swallowed by it, everything about them was lost from the minds of the relevant people, leaving only their investigation reports as evidence of their real existence.

The same is true for this lady statuette. Gavin couldn't help but guess, "Could this thing be from the Lost Land?"

"Yes." Felanxini nodded and admitted, "This was found in the dilapidated wizard tower where I was imprisoned. It is the only thing that can be taken away from that land. I suspect it is a signpost or a key. The general direction she marked is in Cormyr, but the specific location is unknown. I can't go that far, so I can only ask you for everything."

"Are there any more specific hints? The scope of the Kingdom of Cormyr is too large." Gavin repeatedly observed the lady statuette and found that her details were a bit too amazing.

Not only is the appearance lifelike, but even the internal details are also complete. She is wearing a loose lady wizard robe, which looks very much like a skirt. After turning it over, what you see is not solid, but a pair of long legs and sexy lace underwear. Even the folds of the lady wizard robe are complete. There is no way to distinguish the material of the statue. Holding it in your hand, it has neither the coldness of metal nor the texture of wood, but is as smooth as ivory.

Compared to the explanation that the craftsman who carved the statue had amazing skills, Gavin believed that the statue was a masterpiece of magic. It was not surprising that the statue was transformed from a corpse or a living person. Not to mention legendary magic, many eighth-ring and ninth-ring spells could do this. The imprisonment spell used by the evil beast ghost necromancer to imprison Grace was an example of this. It could imprison a person's soul in a crystal ball. Compared to imprisoning the soul, imprisoning the body is actually easier.

The drow have a very special way to punish slaves. It is not to turn them into spider drow or wax-melting demons, which are the glorious punishments of the drow. Many slaves are turned into ebony statues by them using magic and sold as drow specialties. In the hands of many races and people with special hobbies, this kind of statue with a unique style (usually showing a fearful style, when the victims are turned into ebony statues, they are extremely terrified) and 100% realistic restoration is widely praised and welcomed.

"On the night of the full moon, in the Temple of the Four Gods," Felixini replied, "Also, don't put her into the dimensional space, and don't use teleportation spells with her, especially the latter."

Gavin immediately thought of the characteristics of the Lost Land and asked, "Teacher, what you mean is that this statue may be like blocking the teacher's teleportation spell. No matter where the original destination is, it will be directly teleported to the Lost Land or the Mage Tower, and will be imprisoned like the teacher?"

"Yes." Felixini nodded, "But this is just my personal speculation, but you have to be on guard. Originally, you shouldn't be involved in this matter more deeply. This is dragging you down, but no one can do this for you except you."

All signs indicate that the Lost Land called the Fear Demiplane where she is located is shrouded by a powerful law of keeping secrets. The process of understanding it is the process of the soul being marked by it. The more you understand and the deeper you intervene, the stronger the mark will be, and the greater the possibility of being swallowed by it.

"Why drag me into the water?" Gavin smiled and said indifferently, "From the moment I started to follow the teacher's footsteps, I was already in the water. Instead of being timid about this kind of thing, it is better to face the challenge and find a way to break it. In this world, any law is meant to be broken. No matter how powerful the law shrouded in the Demiplane of Fear is, it is just a demiplane in the Ether Plane. Now there is no way to break free, which means that the power we have now is not strong enough. I have only heard that the Demiplane of Fear has trapped mortals, but I have never heard that it has trapped even gods."

A person's courage is proportional to the power he possesses. He is now a genuine chosen one of the gods. Although Ms. Strategy has only a weak divine power that has just been promoted to a god, the energy she possesses is not comparable to that of mortals. If the Demiplane of Fear wants to drag him away, he must first ask her if she agrees.

Having confidence does not mean that Gavin will commit suicide at will. For example, when he knew that it was dangerous to teleport with the lady statue, he still used the teleportation spell without any care. The most correct choice is to transport it by land honestly to minimize the possibility of accidents.

This task naturally belongs to Half Moon Colt Luna, who can transport it to the City of Faith by air.

"Haha... You are right. I am trapped here not because it is too powerful, but because I am too weak. Sooner or later, I will not only break free from this cage, but also conquer and reshape it, so that everything there will succumb to my will." The legendary arcanist was inspired by Gavin. Deep in the heart of every arcanist, there is the courage to fight against the sky, the earth and people. Feilanxini is no exception. It's just that the edges and corners that were previously polished by the fear demiplane are a little flat, but it doesn't mean that they are completely gone, especially with the cooperation of inside and outside, the situation is already very good.

Gavin's growth rate far exceeded her imagination, not only in terms of personal strength, but also in terms of the influence and things he has come into contact with. What he created in just two months is something that many people cannot pursue in their entire lives, and this is just the beginning. This thing is like a snowball. The later it is, the faster it rolls and the bigger it rolls.

This is naturally a good thing for Flanxini, because it means that the more power she can borrow from him, the more things she can do, the more experience points she can get, and the stagnant career level can continue to improve.

Previously, being trapped on an isolated island in the Lost Land, in addition to having to endure endless loneliness, the most troublesome thing for Flanxini was that the channels for obtaining career experience were severely restricted, and the career level upgrade was almost stagnant. The career experience gained in the past ten years of being trapped was not as much as that gained in the two months of establishing contact with Gavin.

"Regarding this half plane of fear, I recently got a bold guess."

"Oh? What guess? Tell me about it."

"This is what inspired my guess." Gavin played the horror scene he saw in the Far Sea Swamp to Filanxini, "This swamp is obviously a partial overlap between the real plane and the etheric plane. It is real and virtual, and it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. The story of the mysterious witch and the seven goblins proves the plasticity of legends to the etheric plane in disguise. It is also a new world composed of the real and the fake.

So, I have reason to suspect that the half plane of fear is also like this. It is a real dream, a real nightmare, a nightmare that can devour people in reality, and those who are devoured by it become a new part of this real nightmare. The attack on people here is likely not launched from the real plane, but from the nightmare. In this way, many things can be explained."

What he saw and heard in the Far Sea Swamp was very inspiring to Gavin.

Although he and Lord Virginia jointly created the Dragon Oak Dream, at the beginning of its creation, it was not based on the concept of dreams but on the concept of the Internet on Earth. Gavin has always subconsciously regarded it as a large, Faerun version of the local area network, and the conceptualization of dreams has not changed more profoundly.

The combination of reality and dreams in the Far Sea Swamp, where the creatures in the dream even jumped out and directly attacked the characters in reality and plundered their souls, clearly told Gavin that in Faerun, the boundary between reality and dreams is not clear, especially when dreams are separated from individuals and exist in a common form.

This situation is by no means an isolated case. The combination of reality and dreams in the Far Sea Swamp means that the Dragon Oak Dream can also be realized.

"Dream! Nightmare! Lost Land!" The legendary arcanist was obviously inspired. She was in the game, so she naturally felt more deeply than Gavin. She couldn't help but repeat these words to herself. Although she couldn't see her specific expression, she could feel that her eyes were getting brighter and brighter. "I heard that there is a place called Dream in this world. It is a collection of countless lost dream fragments, but dreams are also divided into good dreams and nightmares. Most of the dreams gathered there are those that are more benign. Where did those nightmares go? In the Ether Plane, is there a more suitable place than the Demiplane of Fear?

I think we have found the best weapon to deal with the Demiplane of Fear. Next, please focus on collecting all the books and spells about dreams. By the way, didn't you say that you co-created a Dragon Oak Dream with others? I need experience and knowledge in this area."

"This is easy." Gavin shared the original construction concept and the whole story of the Dragon Oak Dream with Felanxini in detail without hesitation. "Dragon Oak Dream The construction of the dream has its own particularity. The reason why it is easy to succeed is that it fully utilizes the powerful influence and control ability of Lord Virginia on the Fey Wilderness and the power of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. Rather than saying that we created the Dragon Oak Dream, it is better to say that we used the adhesion of soul consciousness and energy to weave and distribute the more scattered energy of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. This is not our dream, but the dream of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. We are just borrowers. Therefore, that dream is tied to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. At present, only limited places can enter that dream with the help of special connections.

If you want to weave your own dream as a weapon against the fear demiplane, there is definitely no way to go this way. You must have your own original dream and your own core support point..."

Although Gavin is only the creative provider of the Dragon Oak Dream, Lord Virginia is the real executor, but with his ears and eyes open, his theoretical level in this aspect has also been greatly improved compared to the beginning.

"I can use my own original dream. Anyway, I am trapped there most of the time. The dream I support is definitely not comparable to the one supported by the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, but it is enough for research in a short period of time. It's a pity that I can't go to your Dragon Oak dream to experience it myself, otherwise this matter would be much simpler." The legendary arcanist is very confident in her own strength. The dream she constructed is definitely not comparable to the dreams of ordinary people.

"It may not work with ordinary methods, but it doesn't mean that the method of dreams can't work. Dreams can break the limitations of location, distance, space and even time. As long as the teacher finds a way to construct his own dream, we can find a way to connect the two dreams." Gavin's inspiration was completely aroused, and he started a brainstorming with great interest. In this area, he has always been unwilling to lag behind, even if the other party is a legendary arcanist, he has to admit defeat.

"That's right. The Lost Land only bound my body. If I open the dream, I dare not say that I can jump out of this bondage, but at least I am using the same power to fight it, so I will not be so passive. It just so happens that I know the dream spell. Let me prepare and see the effect of this spell." Felanxini's desire to study was completely aroused.

The dream spell is a five-ring illusion spell. The caster can use this spell to convey information to others in the form of dreams. This spell can transcend distance restrictions. As long as you know the exact name or title of the recipient, you can enter his dream, but there is a prerequisite, that is, this person must sleep and be able to dream.

Therefore, this spell is generally ineffective for elves or half-elves, because they usually use trance to replace sleep. With the voter template hanging on his body, Gavin doesn't even need sleep now. Occasionally taking a nap for an hour or two is purely a human habit. It is a spice of life, not a necessity.

Of course, Felanxini didn't just want to cast a dream spell on Gavin, but was going to use this spell as a medium to weave her own original dream.

"Let's continue in another place." Felanxini stretched out her hand in the void, and a passage generated by ether mist instantly appeared in front of the two of them. The end of the passage was none other than the witch's hut buried deep under the Stone Stallion Inn, the core anchor of the legendary arcanist.

The reason why this place was opened to Gavin was not simply because of the increase in trust in him, but Felanxini suddenly discovered that Gavin might not be able to appreciate the things she regarded as treasures, at least his greed might not be as strong as she thought. On the contrary, she coveted the half-body artifact on him, especially the war plunderers, which was a high-level artifact, and there were not many in the entire Faerun continent.

Gavin naturally would not refuse, and followed closely behind Felancini. He was also full of curiosity about the situation here.
