Chapter 862: Boss Cat Gets on a Black Car
As the sun sets and its golden rays fall on St. Clement's Monastery, the whole world is bathed in peace.

The walls, doors, windows and towers of the monastery glowed slightly red in the sunset.

After Sigrid of Lanci talked with Violet for a long time, she left the big gray cat in Violet's ward, then left the large garden of the Elsaya Sanctuary Healing Center and went to the location where Violet told them the two Forgotten Dust Stars might exist.

"The meaning of Forget Dust Star, according to my understanding of the ancient Sairos text, is that if you experience it again, you may have no regrets, let go of the past, and move towards the future. However, for those who can't let go, using Forget Dust Star may only make them more obsessed, and for those who have already let go, it doesn't matter whether Forget Dust Star is used or not."

Lanqi and Sigrid walked around the corridor on the east side of the monastery, walked down the stairs, and the view in front of them suddenly opened up.

He walked towards the east side of the monastery, chatting with Sigrid.

Although the possible burial location of the Forgotten Dust Star was a conclusion inferred by Violet based on Hecintus's exploration experience in the Monastery of Saint Cremona long ago, they believed that Violet's guess would not be much wrong. After all, Violet was the principal and high priest of the Monastery of Saint Cremona, and she was more familiar with this monastery than anyone else since she was a child.

The endless lake lies quietly surrounded by ancient buildings.

"This seems to be the monastery's eternal snow lake."

Lanqi had been in the monastery for such a long time, but he had only passed by this place from a distance and had never actually come to the lake to see it.

It originates from the meltwater of glaciers in ancient times and has never been frozen by the cold winds of winter.

The lake water is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the colors of the dusk sky, from the light gold near the shore to the deep green in the distance, shaped like crystal clear turquoise.

"It's really beautiful, much more spectacular than the lake at your Protoss Royal School of Magic."

Sigrid and Lanci walked along the broad path that bordered the lake.

On the south bank of the lake is an open space, and the plant-covered ground glows softly in the setting sun.

Three or five lush green spruce trees stand on the lakeshore, with birds occasionally resting on their branches. A few steps ahead, a series of natural stone monuments stand there.

"Violet guessed that the Forgotten Star was at the bottom of this lake, because she saw that Hycintos' hair was wet when he left that day, as if he had been in the water. And this lake was probably the only one in the monastery that was deep enough for Hycintos to dive in himself."

Lanci and Sigrid stood beside the huge rocks on the shore, looking at the calm lake.

Even they could not detect how deep this magical lake was.

"In fact, it is quite dangerous to dive down and rashly salvage stars. On the one hand, the magic power will be disturbed, and if you accidentally touch the Forgotten Dust Star underwater, you may fall into an illusion and drown."

Sigrid rested her chin on her hand and analyzed,

"But it doesn't matter. Your bishop has a solution."

She snapped her fingers, and a silver light bloomed on the lawn, followed by a silver doll appearing before them.

The puppet's entire body is flowing with a strange silver glow, as if it were wearing a gauze woven from starlight.

"Hey, this is the silver puppet that stayed by my side to protect me."

Lanqi recognized the puppet.

Although this humanoid puppet made entirely of silver light has no face, its figure, which is exactly the same as Sigrid's, exudes extremely powerful pressure.

Previously, when they encountered Asksan in Bandera City on the northern border of the Protoss Empire, Sigrid left such a summoned creature to stay with Ranci to protect him when she went to fight Asksan.

【Mind Magic Puppet】

[Category: Summoning Card]

[Grade: Pink Holy]

[Attribute: Telekinesis/Link]

[Level: 8]

[Effect: Obtain 80% of the basic attributes of the main body. ]

[Note: To control this puppet well, you need skills, talent, hard work and sweat. ]

I haven't seen it for a long time. Lanqi was unable to identify its properties before, but now he can finally see it clearly.

Logically speaking, this puppet is useless among the eighth-level sacred beings, because the summoned puppet cannot copy the spells and martial arts of the original body. For example, although the attributes of the Skeleton Lord's clone are copied very low, it can possess all the spells of the original body.

However, for Sigrid, this doll is the most suitable summon.

The only drawback is that the mana consumption of the summoning card itself is the highest among the three types of spell cards, equipment cards, and summoning cards, and it has to be consumed continuously once the summoned creature comes out. Sigrid's mana is not too abundant to begin with, and under high-pressure situations, she may use it to cast amplification and healing spells on herself, which is more cost-effective than summoning a puppet clone.

The silver puppet stopped in front of Sigrid and the other two and bowed slightly.

"Help me search for some dark-colored meteorite underwater. It will glow at night and have magical fluctuations of an illusionary nature. Also, remember not to destroy the ecological environment of the lake and make less noise."

Sigrid commanded.

"Okay, Lord Bishop."

Although the voice of the silver puppet was mechanical and ethereal, it was sonorous and powerful. It walked towards the center of the lake and sank into the water in an instant.

The water surface soon returned to calm after a few ripples, as if nothing had happened.

There was silence.

"We just need to wait. I wish my beloved poet could be so obedient."

Lanci and Sigrid looked at each other.

"Yes, go sit on that bench over there for a while."

Sigrid pointed to the stone bench behind them.

"But I feel that given Lanfu's personality, if one day she suddenly obeys your orders, you would probably be scared."

she said again.

"Laofu, her effect can't affect me. At most, she can just kick me twice."

Lanqi smiled and walked over with Sigrid. They sat down together on the bench, leaning back leisurely and looking at the sunset.

"It's nice to look at the sky."

The lake reflects the golden sunset, merging into one with the sky.

As dusk fell, the light became dimmer, with only a ray of afterglow in the sky still supporting it.

A cluster of faint light appeared in the depths of the lake.

At first there were only a few dots, but gradually they became more and more, like the first stars and twinkling fireflies.

Countless silver spots of light gathered at the bottom of the lake, flowing, and spinning, and finally intertwined into a large net, spreading out at the bottom of the deep lake.

"It looks like the Mind Qi Doll will be found soon."

Sigrid was sure that the silver light was the state of the Mind Magic Golem working underwater.

"There's no rush anyway. According to legend, the Forgotten Dust Star will emit an illusion only after the night has completely risen and under the gaze of the stars."

Lanqi relaxed completely and no longer felt like he was working.

"Aren't you bored of wasting time here with me?"

Sigrid asked, tilting her head.

Originally, this afternoon was supposed to be their date, but now it turned into him just spending time here with her watching the sky.

When they were dating in Helrom before, they had spent almost the entire day playing around in Helrom, and they had never been so relaxed as they were now, waiting for time to pass.

"If this is called wasting time, then wasting a lifetime seems pretty good too."

Lanqi only felt the leisure after finishing work, and his voice had a hint of laziness that was not usual.

"Oh, Holy Son, why do you suddenly say such things?"

Sigrid covered her face and chuckled, then leaned over and touched him slightly with her shoulder.

"We seemed to be chatting non-stop on the train to the Protoss Empire. We didn't know each other very well at that time, but surprisingly we got along very well."

Lanqi recalls the past.

"Boss Cat said we were both talkative."

Sigrid nodded in agreement.

"Meow, are you talking about me?"

A familiar childish voice sounded from the distance behind them, and both of them turned their heads behind their chairs.

They saw a black kitten floating towards them slowly.

When they left Violet's ward today, they also used communication magic to contact the cat owner and asked him to go back to the lake in the monastery. "Why did you call me back, meow."

Boss Cat floated around the two people on the stone chairs and asked them.

It was having a great time playing with Antanas and the others outside the Monastery of Saint Cremona, when it was suddenly called back by a communication from Sigrid.

It turned out that the two of them were sitting on chairs by the lake chatting, and they even seemed to mention it.

"Let me show you something fun."

Sigrid hugged the cat boss and preached to the little black cat.

It was the two of them and Boss Cat who went on the expedition to the northern border of Protoss. Now that they are revisiting the old place, Boss Cat cannot be missing.

"Meow? How fun is that?"

The cat owner didn't know what other interesting things there were in the monastery that he didn't know about.

Although it recalled the adventures of Lan Qi in the northern continent, it felt that after Lan Qi and Sigrid got together, they would play some very dangerous things every day, and the time when its life was most in danger was when it followed these two people around the Protoss Empire.

But now it is safe in St. Clement's Monastery, so it is not afraid that the two will trick it into doing some exciting things.

“It’s very good and fun.”

"So where are we going now meow?"

"Just wait here."

"Wait here, meow?"

"Yes."

The last ray of warm red glow dissipated in the sky, and night enveloped the entire St. Clement's Monastery.

The bright full moon quietly climbed up the night sky, and together with the stars, it cast its cool silver light on the earth.

The mirror-like surface of the lake reflects the bright moonlight in the night sky, and the rippling waves shine against the stars in the sky.

The silver light became brighter and brighter, and the entire lake was illuminated as bright as day.

The light shot out from the bottom of the lake and gathered into a dazzling beam of light in the air.

"It seems that we have found it successfully."

Lanqi and Sigrid's faces were illuminated brightly, and their eyes were shining with surprise.

In the center of the light column, a figure was seen swimming upwards at an extremely fast speed. Wherever it passed, the lake water rolled up silvery-white foam like boiling water.

"It's the Silver Doll-meow."

Boss Cat suddenly looked at the summoned creature that broke through the water.

This telekinetic puppet had given it and Lanqi a great sense of security at the most dangerous moment, and it still remembered the puppet clearly.

The shining light all over the silver puppet gradually dimmed, and finally turned into stardust and dissipated in the evening breeze.

All that was left was a dark blue ore tightly grasped in its hand. Its surface was covered with grooves like a meteorite and its edges were sharp, but a faint blue glow was emitted from the cracks.

"Do you think it's a bit similar to the Void Gate in the Shadow World?"

Sigrid observed the appearance of the ore and asked Lanqi and the cat boss.

"Perhaps its principle is slightly similar to that of the Shadow World and the Artificial Shadow World. After all, they are all illusions, and they are illusions of the past."

Lanci commented.

The puppet presented the meteorite to the two.

The cat boss gently stretched out his paw and touched the ore, only to feel a chill coming from the center of his paw, causing his entire body to tremble.

"You were waiting here just to find this stone, meow? Can you play with it?"

Boss Cat couldn't find out what was special about the stone, except that it was very cold.

"If Violet is right, it should be the Forgotten Dust Star."

Sigrid first placed the cat boss on her head, then took the dark blue meteorite handed to her by the Mind Magic Doll and carefully placed it flat on her palm.

Exactly as Violet had described.

She squeezed it gently, and the outer shell broke. The surface of the gem inside was as smooth as satin, and the inside was flowing with a psychedelic starry light.

"Lanqi, give me your hand."

Sigrid seemed to have felt the magical resonance of the gem under the starlight, just like she was in the land of tenderness. However, the power of the illusion of Wangchen Star was not so coercive. Unless she let go of her body and mind, she would not necessarily enter the illusion.

Lanqi's slender hand covered her palm and held it above the meteorite.

The two people sitting on the bench by the lake closed their eyes slightly, trying to resonate with the ancient power sleeping in the stone through the surge of magic in their bodies.

At first, nothing happened.

Even with his eyes closed, everything in front of him was still pitch black.

All that was heard was the gentle lapping of the lake water.

However, gradually, the magic power in the body began to calm down, and a strange feeling of weightlessness arose spontaneously.

The boundaries of consciousness become blurred, the real world quickly fades away, and is replaced by chaos.

A low roar sounded in my ears, rising and falling like a tide, sweeping over my nerves.

Their memories were like a dam bursting, instantly shattered and bizarre, and gradually the images became coherent and clear.

In a trance, the touch of reality became farther and farther away, until the moment they selected the memory node, a feeling of dizziness overwhelmed them, and their souls almost left their bodies.

It seemed like a century had passed, yet it seemed like just a blink of an eye.

Snow is falling at the border and is about to cover everything.

When they opened their eyes again, the scene before them suddenly became clear.

What comes into view is a vast snowfield, rolling and endless.

The biting cold wind brought snowflakes all over the sky, blurring the vision into pure white.

"Where is this, meow?"

The cat boss's voice seemed small and helpless in the strong wind, and it found that the three of them were sitting on a sled and traveling at high speed.

It shuddered involuntarily and quickly crawled between Lanqi and Sigrid, which were its only two supports in this strange world.

Boss Cat raised his head. The lead-gray sky hung low and merged with the horizon. It was impossible to tell where the sky was and where the earth was. Large flakes of snow fell from the sky, almost drowning the entire world.

Their sled was driving in the middle of the snowfield, looking so small in the endless snow field.

Tiny ice crystals came with the wind, hitting my skin and causing pain, and the cold almost froze my blood.

"Boss Cat, don't you think this place is familiar?"

Lanqi drove the sled skillfully and looked around. Everywhere he looked was endless white snow and the emerging city-state at the far end. There was no human habitation, not even a tree.

"Meow?"

Boss Cat raised his head forty-five degrees and opened up the universe of thought.

Why did I suddenly come to this completely unfamiliar place?

How can we find a way out of the ice and snow?
Is this reality, a bizarre dream, or an illusion brought about by the gem just now?
Countless questions swirled in my mind, but I could not find the answers.

But putting aside these doubts, it recalled the questions Lanqi asked it, and looking at the outline of the snowy city-state that seemed increasingly familiar to it, it gradually developed a terrible guess in its heart.

"Are we experiencing the encounter in the Demon Realm at the northern border a year ago?"

Boss Cat asked with a trembling voice, remembering the most horrific desperate situation.

"Yes."

Sigrid answered affirmatively.

"Put me out of the car, meow!"

The cat boss screamed and raised his tail.

This is not a ride to the amusement park!
