Chapter 412 The Secret of the Kingdom
Chapter 412 The Secret of the Kingdom
Snow Girl...
After hearing the red-haired chief's question, Leon followed her gaze and looked at the snow girl lying in the desert.
According to the rules of this world, nightmares that enter reality will have a physical body. When the Nightmare King entered the "second stage" before, the Snow Girl was knocked unconscious by him and has not woken up yet.
"Let's send her back to the dream world."
After a slight hesitation, Leon said:
"I have used the soul vision of the black goat to see that her soul is actually purer than many humans. She is mainly controlled by the Nightmare King. She is not a bad person in herself, and she has helped me a lot this time.
In addition, her companion nightmare was polluted, and her nightmare core was destroyed by the Nightmare King. Her strength has dropped very seriously. Apart from being able to travel through nightmares, she has basically no other abilities. It doesn't matter if we let her go back."
"can."
After nodding his head in approval of Leon's solution, the red-haired chief pondered for a moment and then said:
“Forget it, let’s release the remaining nightmare messengers. After being damaged by you, the dream world has been seriously damaged. Moreover, before the Nightmare King is resurrected, the ratio between nightmares and sweet dreams will be seriously unbalanced.
If we send back a few more high-level nightmares, I think it will help balance things out a bit and prevent any negative impact on the real world. After the overlap, they won’t be able to invade the real world, so we don’t have to worry about any harm if we send them back.”
Before the Nightmare King's Resurrection...
After hearing what the red-haired chief said, Leon's expression couldn't help but darken slightly.
Although it is known that these "true gods" are almost immortal, after the Nightmare King is killed this time, he will be born from the new river of nightmares one day in the future.
But when he thought of what it had shown him with the mirror crown, those painful scenes that made his heart ache at the mere thought of them, a strong sense of unwillingness still emerged in Leon's eyes.
"Director."
After calling out, Leon frowned and said:
"Is there no way to completely kill the Nightmare King?"
You actually asked such a question... It seems that the Nightmare King has offended you seriously...
After looking at Leon with some curiosity, the red-haired chief was wondering what the Nightmare King had done to make the usually steady Leon lose control. He shook his head and replied:
"No... Sweet dreams and nightmares are both the cornerstones of the dream world. The result of completely killing the Nightmare King will be the same as killing the Lord of the Dead World. It will cause the imbalance of this vassal world."
"Vassal world?"
“To put it simply, the worlds are not completely isolated from each other, but are interconnected based on utility and rules.”
After drawing a large circle on the desert with his toes and a bunch of smaller circles around it, the red-haired director began to explain:
"If the world we live in is the big circle in the middle, then the world of death, the world of dreams, and these small circles can be seen as 'vassal worlds' derived from our world and specifically serving our world.
The Death Realm is responsible for receiving the dead souls, returning them to their origins and giving them new life, while the Dream Realm is responsible for human memories and fantasies, including art, inspiration, and all these things are also related to the Dream Realm. "
After explaining the significance of the dream world, the red-haired director said helplessly:
"Whether these vassal worlds can operate stably is of great significance to us. We even need to help them when troubles arise. However, this job is usually not our turn."
"If even you don't get a turn... Director?"
"Yes, director. Most directors are not in the bureau all year round. They basically do this."
The red-haired chief said:
"If the task of the directors of the eighty-seven branches of the Cleanup Bureau is to guard human settlements and prevent opponents from breaking in and stealing and robbing, then the responsibility of the twelve directors is to ensure that those vassal worlds operate smoothly and that nothing major happens that can affect reality.
The strength of the Huangdao directors may not be weaker than that of the directors, but the star palace they control is one level lower than that of the twelve directors, and they cannot enter and exit these vassal worlds at will, so these cross-border matters can generally only be done by the directors who can use the [Star Dome Compass]. "I see...
After understanding why he couldn't let the bugs completely devour the dream world, and why the directors of the Cleanup Bureau were always away from home, Leon hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said:
"Then...what if we try to find a new Nightmare Lord? Didn't the Lord of the Dead Realm also change people?"
"It is possible... but it is not only very troublesome, but also extremely dangerous."
The red-haired director sighed and said:
“The ancestor of the kingdom’s royal family was the one who once repelled the Nightmare King and caused his own bloodline to be cursed.
He tried to do something similar to your idea, hoping to remove the curse left in his blood by the Nightmare King, and he also received support from the Bureau, but he failed in the end, and it also caused very serious consequences. "
Very serious consequences?
Upon hearing this, Leon couldn't help but clench his fists, and then asked curiously:
"What happened in the end?"
"..."
"Leon, let me ask you."
Without answering Leon's question, the red-haired chief sighed and asked:
"What kind of kingdom is this kingdom we live in?"
What kingdom?
Leon was slightly startled.
"A kingdom is a kingdom. What is a kingdom?"
"I mean, don't you think there should be a prefix before kingdom?"
The red-haired chief said:
"For example, the Kingdom of Icefield, the Kingdom of Korok, the Kingdom of Thousand Sails, the Kingdom of Thunderstorm, and so on. Other countries should have specific names. So what should be the prefix of the kingdom, or the full name?"
The name of the kingdom?
Lyon was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he opened the badge panel, found the prince's badge that made people bow, and took a look at it.
My badge is called [Prince of the Robin], so the full name of the kingdom is the Robin Kingdom, what's the problem... Wait! Why do I have to look at the badge to remember the name of the kingdom?
As if he had discovered something extraordinary, Leon's pupils shrank instantly, and the red-haired director, who was paying attention to his expression, sighed at the right time:
"You found you couldn't remember, right?"
"..."
“The ancestor of the royal family, while trying to replace the Nightmare King, accidentally destroyed the stability of the Dream World, causing a worldwide memory loss, causing the name of the kingdom to be forgotten by everyone.
In order to solve this problem, the bureau had to open the [Fantasy Drum] and modify the evil god's brain inside, requiring it to erase this question all the time, making everyone subconsciously ignore this problem.
That’s why you and everyone else in the kingdom shout “kingdom” every day, but you don’t think there’s anything wrong with calling it “kingdom” without using a name. ”
"..."
After looking at Leon who was shocked, the red-haired director patted his shoulder and said:
"Leon, now you understand how much trouble it is to replace these 'gods' who control important rules, right?"
