After hearing Gawain's words, everyone was shocked: "The Eternal Sleeper?!"
This was completely beyond their expectations. Even Hetty, who had always been calm, almost couldn't hold it. With her own staff, she glanced at the mercenary leader lying dead on the ground with wide eyes: "Is this mercenary disguised as an Eternal Sleeper cultist?!"
"No, he was just killed by the Eternal Sleeper. Use it as a springboard," Gawain rubbed his brows and said the information he got from the cultists, "This guy probably had a nightmare unfortunately some time in the past, and a powerful Eternal Sleeper cultist used the nightmare to He left the coordinates in his mind, so that he became a disposable 'carrier', allowing the cultist to 'come' quickly if necessary."
This way. The weird fact gave Amber goosebumps: "How come this kind of cultist sounds more evil than the Society for the Death of All Things?!"
"The Eternal Sleeper is indeed weirder than the Society for the Death of All Things. Pitman said in a deep voice. As a Druid who has truly received the inheritance, he knows a lot about cultists. "The Eternal Sleepers are the fallen and transformed people of the Church of the God of Dreams. They were originally meant to appease people and expel nightmares." Priests, but after the fall, they became experts in weaving nightmares and fears. The most powerful eternal sleeper bishops all have the ability to walk in people's dreams, and they can connect people's dreams together. , thus making themselves more elusive and unpredictable. Their special abilities make them more frightening than ordinary cultists, but the good news is... the actions of the Eternal Sleepers are not as extreme as the Doom of All Things or the Children of the Storm. Bloody, they just pull people into various nightmares or illusions, and occasionally do kidnappings, but rarely take the initiative to cause killings."
Hearing this, Hetty also reacted. He said thoughtfully: "I have also heard about the Eternal Sleeper Cult. It is true that they rarely cause large-scale deaths, but their actions are more weird and weird than other cult groups. I personally feel that they are like What kind of huge plan is hidden? Cult groups that usually don’t kill people are more terrifying.”
Gowen felt the same way: “As long as it is a dark sect, there is no one who is not dangerous. It only means that they don’t kill people. They will do more terrifying things than killing people, and those things are more difficult to prevent than causing killings... The Eversleepers are the only dark sect besides the Sons of Storm that deal with the Death of All Things and the Sons of Storm. They are all cruel and bloody sects, and the Eternal Sleepers who can get along with them...cannot be kind people."
"The more I heard, the more terrified I became," Amber couldn't help rubbing his hands. Rubbing her arms as if to remove goose bumps, she then looked up at Gawain curiously, "So were you dragged into their 'nightmare' by the Eternal Sleepers just now? What happened next? You ran out?"
Gawain smiled: "We competed in the conscious world, and then the guy died. He was probably not a powerful character."
Amber Oh YiHetty also looked at her great ancestor with admiration and conviction. Only Pitman looked at Gawain suspiciously: "The eternal sleeper who can carry out the descent of thoughts... will be a small role?"
"It's not as powerful as me anyway," Gawain shrugged. "Anyway, that guy is dead. It doesn't matter how powerful he was when he was alive."
Hetty looked a little worried: "But the key point is why an Eternal Sleeper cultist attacked you... The last meeting of the End of All Things was an accident. The real target of the fallen druid was Tanzanian Town, but this time the Eternal Sleeper is obviously an attack on you. The mercenary leader clearly called out your name when he was 'occupied'!"
Gawain's expression became serious, and he knew that Hetty's worries were justified.
The resurrected Gawain Cecil has indeed begun to attract the attention of some dark forces.
Although there are not many memories read from the remaining soul of the cultist, some of his recent thoughts and experiences can be pieced together. Gawain could confirm that the cultist had been operating in the South for many years. He had left nightmare coordinates on thousands of victims in this area, and the mercenary leader happened to be one of them. He was captured during the slave-catching operation. The fact that Gawain was captured was just a coincidence - but the Eversleeper behind the mercenary leader had not been targeting him for a day or two.
It was learned from the conversation that the cultist was very concerned about a certain secret voyage of Gawain Cecil and the so-called "Eternal Dark Sea", so he uncovered Gawain's coffin and spread the news. After coming out, the cultist was probably already planning this contact.
The mercenary leader who happened to fall into Gawain's hands just gave him a perfect opportunity in advance, but the cultist himself would not have thought that he would fall directly into this opportunity. ...
A Bishop of the Eversleeper died inexplicably, but this did not mean the end of the harassment. Gawain believed that there must be other dark sects or mysterious organizations staring at him—— The so-called "Eternal Dark Sea" and "Secret Voyage" probably involve a huge secret, which is enough to make the most vigilant and secretive cult bishops take risks, and naturally arouse the curiosity of other lurkers.
But the problem is that Gawain himself is also very curious about what the so-called "Eternal Dark Sea" is!
At this point, the only thing Gawain can comfort himself is that the Bishop of the Eversleeper died very neatly. He died on the territory of the Cecil family without causing any trouble. This may be able to A warning to some snoopers.
Anyway, if there are still bold people who want to cause trouble, Gawain has no other choice. He can only continue. After all, he is the breadwinner of the family now, and he can't say anything that doesn't agree with him. Wind?
Pittman looked at Gawain with a serious expression, and then at Hetty with a worried face. He sighed softly, and said with the same serious expression: "Your Majesty, I think you are the best one this time. It’s time to seriously consider my resignation application..."
"If you really want to run away, you have disappeared now. Are you the kind of person who would greet the boss properly before running away?" Gawain glanced at the shameful druid, and then waved his hand. , "Anyway, I'll take over as soon as it comes. Three or two small fish and shrimps won't cause much trouble. I don't believe that those cultists who have lived with their tails between their legs for seven hundred years now dare to organize a large army to attack."
Then he glanced at the mage mercenary sitting next to him who was still in a daze.
When Hetty saw this, he immediately asked: "Ancestor, do you want to continue the interrogation?"
Gawain shook his head: "No need, keep him locked up, and wait for a while." It depends on the situation."
He did not consider executing the mage mercenary directly, but he also did not intend to let him go - if the rescue operation of the refugees in the northern wilderness was regarded as a battle, this one in front of him Mercenaries are prisoners of war of the Cecil family. According to the laws of this era, such prisoners of war will be directly treated as slaves, and they will have to work for life to make up for the weapons and manpower lost by their masters in capturing him on the battlefield. However, Gawain is still I have not thought about what kind of labor reform to arrange for such "prisoner-of-war slaves".
The Cecil Territory is currently short of people, so Gawain doesn’t mind letting such a captive exert value by serving as a labor force. This is much more cost-effective than execution or exile, but the other party is a second-level after all. The caster, throw him directly into the mine to the west to mine. Firstly, it will be a waste. Secondly, Gawain is not at ease, so what exactly to ask him to do... really needs to be carefully considered.
Hetty has no objection to Gawain's arrangement, but she is still very concerned about the purpose of these mercenaries hunting refugees in the wilderness north of the Whitewater River: "We are not investigating the Kande family's hiring of these mercenaries. "About hunting down refugees?"
"Ah...yes," Gawain couldn't help but rub his forehead. It seemed that the confrontation with the cultist still had an impact on him in the conscious world. He completely forgot the original purpose of interrogating these two mercenaries, "I was a little tired and forgot about this matter. Okay, Hetty, Pitman, I'll leave this matter to you two, while the potion and ritual are in progress The effect is not over yet. Ask the Kande family why they are hunting slaves in Shuangyue. I have to go back and take a rest. You can tell me the results of the interrogation later."
After arranging the affairs here, Gawain then returned to his tent.
He was indeed tired - it took such a long time for the fatigue deep in the spiritual world to surface, making him realize that his confrontation with the cultist was not as easy as he imagined.
Even as a satellite spirit, it is not easy to mobilize that huge memory to devour another mind.
Not long after returning to the tent, he fell asleep on his bed and quickly fell asleep.
He "opened" his eyes in a strange place and found that he was standing in a long corridor.
This corridor is a typical Anzu style, and is closely related to the southern nobles.My favorite castle building has the same interior and support structure. The support columns on both sides of the corridor are half-buried in the wall, and each support column is inlaid with a lit magic crystal lamp.
But this is not the old castle of the Cecil family, nor is it the Leslie family castle in Tanzanian Town. It is not what the interior of any castle that Gawain knows in his memory looks like.
Almost immediately, Gawain realized that he might have entered another dream, and that he was still consciously entering the dream. The experience he had just had with the cultists made him instantly aware of all the dangers. God became wary and vigilant, and couldn't help muttering in his heart:
"Why is there another wave so soon? Are these cultists the gourd boys who saved grandpa?"
But soon, he discovered that the situation this time was different from before - he did not wake up in a completely chaotic space, nor did anyone break into his dream. The feeling that you can wake up at any time if you wish is more like a normal dream than being dragged into an imaginary space by an eternal sleeper.
The only thing different from falling into a dream is that I remain unusually awake.
No, there are more differences...
Gao Wen looked at his hand with feeling, and consciously sketched the shape of a certain object. The next second, he Then he found a can of Coke in his hand.
In this lucid dream, he seems to be able to create what he wants in his heart.
