Pirate Kingship

Violet, who was unable to resist the drowsiness due to too much consumption and fell into a deep sleep involuntarily, suddenly felt a little cold.

Waves of moist cold wind carrying the smell of sea water blew from nowhere, blowing away the heat from her body bit by bit, and also blew away the lingering sleepiness.

‘Well, didn’t this guy Byron tuck me in? Are you too careless with girls? ’

When she couldn't stand the cold anymore, she opened her eyes again.

But unexpectedly, he found that he was no longer on the bed in the captain's cabin of the Golden Deer, but in a huge building that was difficult to describe in words.

The sleepiness dissipated and I was suddenly fully awake.

He jumped up immediately and scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

"Is this a temple?"

The building was made entirely of some slippery green stone and was tall and wide enough for hundreds of giants to gather here.

The floor of the building is sloping, with half of it submerged in water and the other half above the water.

In the center stands an octopus statue with an indescribable shape.

Under the dull yellow light, the statue is holding a huge human skull, and many tentacles covered with suckers are drilled out of the holes in the skull.

It looked familiar, but the girl couldn't remember where she had seen it.

And it was obviously a rock statue, but those lifelike and slippery tentacles seemed to be really wriggling, constantly emerging from the brain case.

Then he wanted to follow his gaze and get into Violet's mind.

"The Luoyan Era has arrived, and all living beings have died. In the eternal deep-sea mansion, the sleeping god, who is still a dream even though dead, is waiting. Dream, dream."

Waves of whispers and murmurs sounded from every corner of the temple.

Hallucinations appeared in front of her eyes, as if the empty temple was quietly filled with something huge and invisible.

Violet was horrified and did not dare to look any further, so she immediately forcibly looked away.

But she still felt uncontrollably nauseous, and something slippery seemed to be crawling in the grooves of her brain, bringing her emotions and memories out of all the holes in her skull.

The murmur began to echo repeatedly in the skull cavity, and became more and more clear.

"No, that statue belongs to a super-standard existence!

But how did the pollution come so quickly? I am obviously a third-level master craftsman, and my anchor is stable enough.

Even after the crack in the world, the body of [Greed Insect Mammon] that was seen sinking in the Sea of ​​Origin was not so seriously polluted.

My state is not quite right. This is no longer the real world, but all information will become concrete, and all truth will become an absurd dream! "

The moment Violet saw through the truth of the world, there was a sound of a bubble being popped.

The spiritual aura gushed out from the depths of her heart, forming an invisible barrier on the surface of her body.

The pollution from the super-standard existence was immediately reduced by 90% like a tide.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief.

I am extremely glad that I have mastered "flow" and my control over myself has been greatly enhanced. Otherwise, I would have been contaminated before I could distinguish between dreams and reality.

At the same time, one thing is certain.

"I did enter a dream, and it was not my own dream, but a public dream contaminated by super-standard beings."

As soon as she thought about it, the two curse seals that had just been tattooed on the back of her left hand and the instep of her right foot began to radiate light, instantly surrounding her body.

When the light dissipated, Violet's legs had disappeared, replaced by an amorphous ball of blue light.

When he looked down, he realized that he was still wearing only the silk nightgown he had worn when going to bed, and no other equipment.

Most of the third-level master craftsman's strength was immediately destroyed.

The only thing that can be brought into the dream is a spiritual body, and the two curse seals [blasphemy] and [abyss] that were just successfully engraved.

The changes on her body came from the materialization of the two curse seals in the dream, allowing her to experience the transformation in advance after the ceremony was completed.

With a thought, imagine the light group changing form.

But he found that he could only follow the path of the [Disaster Witch] and transform into various aquatic monsters.

Fish tail, snake tail, jellyfish, crab. After changing several forms, I found that the octopus tail like an octopus battleship is the most comfortable.

Moreover, this form is also the most resistant to whispering in the ear, and is almost unaffected by it.

It was as if he had obtained identity permission and became one of the temple's own.

Violet touched her feet:

"Just touch it, no one else here will see it anyway.

The key question now is how to get out.

In the extraordinary knowledge I have, if it is my own dream, I can wake up with just one thought as long as I enter the lucid dream state.

But once you enter other people's dreams, or the public dreams of certain groups, the risk increases sharply.

Unless you can find the deeply hidden exit on your own, or be awakened from the real world with the help of anchors, you will most likely fall from the shallow to the deep, all the way down to the lost layer.

You may never come back at that time.

My first choice now is to look for a way out. The other choice is to wait for Byron to notice my abnormality and find a way to get me out of here. "

Violet decided to do both.

After twisting a few times, the eight tentacles that replaced the legs slid to the side of the temple with water, and slowly swam towards the entrance of the temple.

After just swimming a few steps, I quickly adapted to my new body, as if I was born this way.

She looked out through the crack in the temple door, which was wide enough for her to walk through at will.

Outside, in the thick fog, stood an extremely huge city.

It's just that the structures of the buildings are very abnormal, completely contrary to the geometry she studied at the Vinaya Academy of Art.

Rather, they are a bit like that small group of emerging abstract artists.

I don’t know if they got the inspiration while dreaming.

Its unprecedented spatial structure and dimensions made her feel a strong sense of discomfort from the bottom of her heart.

The buildings are all made of huge slippery green stones, and the city is dotted with dizzyingly tall boulder carvings, magnificent stone statues and gorgeous reliefs.

Moreover, both the statues and the reliefs are covered with sticky tentacles that make people feel like they have fallen into the tentacle nests.

In the past, Violet might have had goosebumps.

But now that he has accepted his new form, his cognition seems to have deviated.

Looking at his reflection in the water, he nodded:

"Well, even girls with eight legs are cute!

As expected of you, Violet.

Even when the bloodline sublimation ceremony is completed in the future, being randomly selected into this form does not seem to be so unacceptable. "

Squeezing out of the door and standing on the steps of the tall temple.

A pair of eyes scanned every street and every window, but found in vain that the entire huge city seemed to be empty except for herself.

Deadly, cold, and chilling.

Only when the occasional sea breeze blows away part of the fog, and you look far into the distance, can you see what seems to be an extremely vast land behind the city.

Little did she know that the escaped [Contract Devil] had seen the exact same scene before her (Chapter 257).

“It seems like there’s a new world outside.

So your father came here before? ! "

The girl's gloomy mood when she was pulled into a dream due to an unknown accident suddenly became excited.

The real world is separated by a whole celestial sphere, but in the dream it comes in an instant, which is really a big surprise.

Think of the previously collected information on "Bridgehead", "Pioneers of the Bay People", "Whale Oil Revolution", "Whale Hunter Footprints" and so on.

I can't wait to explore this place as I dance my tentacles.

"Hey, what is this?"

Suddenly, Violet noticed something strange under the calm water covering half of the city in front of her.

The whole city fluctuates with the fog, sometimes illusory and sometimes real.

It's like half in reality and half in dream.

And with the magnificent temple where he is located as the boundary, half of it is in the sea, half in the water, and half on the land.

Whenever the city alternates between reality and reality, the light and shadow will change accordingly.

The calm water surface is like a huge mirror, turning the entire city upside down, revealing another mirror-like underwater city.

The extraordinary knowledge in her mind told her that this abnormality obviously meant that it was the entrance to the deep realm of dreams!

The girl bit her pink lips and couldn't help but get entangled.

"Deep Dream? Should I go see it?"

If we can use deep dreams as a springboard, we may be able to directly see the life of the indigenous people in the New World and gain first-hand information.

They even try to steal relevant knowledge about whale oil from their collective consciousness, and maybe get the original whale oil technology. "

She knew that if she continued to dream, there would be both danger and opportunity.

In dreams, space and time have little meaning. It can be said to be the most unreasonable place in the world.

But it can generally be divided into three major levels: shallow level, deep level and lost level.

Corresponding to the sea of ​​human collective consciousness: consciousness, individual unconsciousness and collective unconsciousness.

If you think of the inner world of all human beings as a large island in the sea.

So the land above the water represents the awakening part of human individual consciousness, accessible even to ordinary people, and is here during daily life and lucid dreaming;

The part of the underwater land that is exposed due to tidal movement represents the individual's personal unconsciousness, where everything a person sees and hears throughout his life is accumulated here and has never been discarded;

The seabed on which all islands are ultimately based is a nation, a group, a country, and the collective unconscious of all mankind.

From high to low means that the human spiritual world moves from individual to collective, from individuality to commonality.

Until it reaches the collective unconscious, it is the psychological sedimentation of all members of the human race from countless similar experiences passed down from generation to generation.

Violet was extremely moved by these sediments:

"Those of us who uphold the motto: 'Use knowledge to expel ignorance' can find all kinds of lost knowledge from the collective subconscious, ordinary people's seemingly insignificant sparks of inspiration, and the crazy ideas of a very small number of geniuses.

Dig out all kinds of treasures like digging a mine.

The same is true for the natives.

It is rare to find this kind of treasure place that is located at the junction of reality and dream and can serve as a window.

Once you leave here, even if you successfully land in a new continent in the future, facing the collective subconscious that is isolated from each other, no matter how powerful the extraordinary beings are, they will be helpless.

but"

Behind all the benefits there is a but.

Only if they are protected by the [Silver Law] and can give a little order to the disordered dream, can they dare to explore shallowly.

If a transcendent dares to directly explore the deep or lost layers through his dreams, it means that he is not far from death or madness.

Endless memory debris rises in waves, and a single wave can shatter the memories of mid-sequence extraordinary beings into pieces.

It can even make a person's self completely disappear, and his entire personality be dissolved into the collective consciousness.

Moreover, Violet seriously suspected that there might be the source of the pollution of the original fourth-level heroic adventurer Balboa hidden underneath.

After just a slight hesitation, the Tower Sequence's strong thirst for unknown knowledge, the truth of the past, and the whereabouts of her father made her decide to take a little risk.

He wrapped his eight legs around the door handle and the stone fence beside the door, and took advantage of another opportunity of the change of light and shadow to put only one face under the water.

The place where the vision appeared was still in front of the same temple.

It's just that when we were outside, we were looking from above, but when we arrived at another city soaked in sea water, our view suddenly changed to looking from bottom to top.

A delicate face poked out of the puddle in front of the door and looked towards the sky.

As soon as I saw what this underwater city looked like, my heart skipped a beat.

"Are these all shipwrecks?"

As far as the eye can see, the entire underwater city is filled with densely packed old sunken ships.

This place is clearly a shipwreck cemetery with an endless horizon.

Shadowy ghost sailors were walking in and out of the sunken ship, and some were driving their own ghost ships to fight each other.

And in this pile of sunken ships that were polluted by dreams, all seemed to have turned into ghost ships.

A huge first-class sailing battleship, it is obviously the well-deserved overlord of the ship.

Violet happened to know it.

After identifying its identity, he was so shocked that his beautiful eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he uttered a difficult sentence:

"The blue dragon's bow is unmistakable. This is the legendary Blue Dragon King that was sunk by the White Rose York family?!!"
