Plague Doctor

Wu Shiyu saw that Gu Jun had been pulled out of his mind by Granny Greybeard. He rushed to stab the old man with almost a scissors. "What are you arguing with me about? I've always hated dreaming. How tired do I have to sleep? I don't have the best dreams. It's best to sleep when I lie down and sleep until I wake up naturally! ”

While she was screaming, she saw the old greybeard suddenly changed her face and muttered like she was eating: “Your power? ”

“Ah!” The flickering images in Gu Jun's heart became clearer...

He saw a statue of a noble goddess of life standing in a beautiful fountain, water, the source of life... surrounded by some classical magnificent architecture, is this Carlop College... this might be a good opportunity for him to open that page of residual spells in his head with a little sobriety and try to trigger illusions...

Time, more scenery, he seemed to see a row of students in a classroom in an ancient building, all dressed in white robes.

“Reading a spell cannot be just reading its words.” In obscurity, there is a teacher on the stage talking, the tone is very serious: “It is always to use the spirit to touch and feel, let its spirit transform your spirit, let its vitality transform your vitality. ”

The students listened quietly and took notes on the books of the spell.

One of the back shadows... is very similar to the one that dissected the dead skinner in the basement, mumbling with the people around them, and they seem to be laughing at something.

“Langton!” The teacher suddenly reprimanded me harshly, "you pay attention to my lessons! ”

This teacher, is that the Ulem teacher on that page of the spell book notes...

Although he was reprimanded by the teacher, the classroom sounded a laugh, but Gu Jun felt a warmth. This illusion is a beautiful dream...

At this point, the illusion image gradually dissipated and a new hint popped up:

[Your spirit is purified, erosion decreases, -2%, currently 3%]

Huh? Gu Jun did have a sweet sense of moisture. More synonyms came back to mind. The dark will of the Son of Bad Luck receded a little like a tide.

I didn't expect the illusion of this page of the spell to have this odd effect...

Unlike before, this illusion is warm and memorable. It was as if he had triggered this type of illusion for the first time.

Perhaps we could call it "the illusion of light”? And the ones that used to be painful and depleting when they triggered were "dark illusions”?

Not only does his spirit not feel worn out this time, but it moisturizes and repairs, even erosion degrees have decreased... the erosion degrees can indeed be returned! One way to do this is to digest the bright side of Langton right now, which is like a scale, high on one side, low on the other, and vice versa.

In that case, Gu Jun thinks that his life may still survive...

Also at this time, he clearly perceived a strange force in his mind, an unknown stranger, a power belonging to the Greybeard old man.

Is this the power that is pulling away my dreams... Gu Jun condensed, went to sensation a little, suddenly there are other light surges.

He couldn't see the scene, but it seemed like he heard an ecstasy, and the more he screamed, the crazier he was: “I, Barcelona the Wise, took over [the gods of the earth] with wisdom, and with the will to nullify the spells and barriers of the gods! ”

Crazy joy, like the best dreams humans can imagine, has come true.

But between the turns, this cry became the most utter cry, the most utter nightmare, instantly all tormented!

“... hell... don't look this way...” This lamentable voice is vague...

But Gu Jun could feel a little edge of this painful abyss, and he was pulling him down. He immediately summoned up his newly gained spiritual strength and expelled him: “Get out, whatever you are, get out! ”

“Mmm." Old Greybeard shouted, and the scars on his old face were more dull and weird.

Wu Shiyu saw that the spiritual silver wire suddenly went into Jun's head like a bullet rope...

“Your dream...” The old man wondered, "You...”

Gu Jun fell and returned to God. Wu Shiyu hurried up to help him. Gu Jun asked her: “What's wrong? ”

“Seems like it didn't work?” Wu Shiyu didn't understand much either, and gave him a description of what had just happened.

She said, while re-measuring the gray beard old man. If there's a boss in the dream world, it's definitely not the old man. He looks like an employee, not the unbeatable kind. She said softly, "Can't we really knock him out? ”

Gu Jun is also looking at the old man. Although he has driven away the power of the other party, he is still unclear about that power, and it may not be easy behind... the gods of the earth? What does that mean?

But now that he knows more, he tries to ask, "Sir, is your name Barcelona? ”

The old man seemed to have been an ordinary man before, relying proudly on wisdom and will, but ended up in the madness of fear... maybe that's why he came to this place and became the boatman... he now feels that the old man is a prisoner who has lost all his dreams...

“Barcelona?” Old Greybeard's face has changed a bit. "Nobody has called me that in a long time...”

Gu Junru had a feeling, but he wasn't sure. He just said, "Mr. Barcelona, you and I are from the same world, right? ”

“Young man...” Granny Beard paused and gradually regained his previous indifference, “some things you don't need to know, this is not the purpose of your trip. The more you know about this place, the more you can't leave. This time... just take the stuff, when I give it to you. ”

Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu looked at each other. Even if the old man couldn't take his dreams, he could take everything away and not give it to them. Why should he send it?

Is it really a hometown? Should I hit the snake on the stick at a time like this?

“Can we get some more food?” Wu Shiyu asked, “The doctor said my stomach is naturally bigger. Right, Dr. Gu? ”

“Yes.” Gu Jun nodded, “Her stomach is about 1.6 times the size of a normal person...”

Old Greybeard looked at the two of them, and this time he paused for another half hour, and said: "She can take another loaf of bread. ”

The two of them felt that the old Greybeard was not very kind, so take it if you like. But you can take more bread. Wu Shiyu is welcome. Go up and pick up some food and drink from the food bucket and go. These things also seem unusual, and the smell is very refreshing.

Then they took two whole sets of linen, one for men, one for women, and two pairs of leather shoes, all exotic. A kerosene lamp, a vial of kerosene, and a weapon each. Gu Jun took a knife, Wu Shiyu took a bow and arrow, and paired them with it.

And finally, the spell.

“You guys are special.” Old Greybeard handed the ancient book to Gu Jun himself. The voice is still indifferent, but the speech has a temperature: “I have the last sentence for you. Any spell, even if it is thoroughly studied, is still an unknown power. This book is also, be careful with it. ”

Gu Jun nodded silently and took over the ancient books, finally getting a whole book of spells...

Hasn't Barcelona, the old Greyhound, studied the Seven Secrets of the Earth?

“Whoa.” He walked to the side of the deck with this spell, took a deep breath and opened it to see. Wu Shiyu watched as he chewed the bread beside him.
