My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1316 1314. Bold as hell, but not bold enough!
"It feels so good to be back in the land of dreams. This muddy wind reminds me of the desperate situation when I was trapped in the maze more than a hundred years ago. At that time, I was not as brave as I am now. I had to pray to the nightmares that swarmed over me in despair.
They responded generously.

I had to hide in my dreams to avoid the pursuit of the villains under the command of the Bone Gnawer King. Alas, it was really a desperate time. "

The Astral Gate flickered open, indicating that a new guest had arrived at the Maginot Line.

As Little Fu Ge led the way, his old lady, Ms. Casper, followed behind, leaning on the druid's iconic thornwood cane.

As if he had sensed the dream that permeated the Transian material, this not-so-serious archdruid poetically recounted his past experiences, and then he turned his staff upside down like a monk preparing to attack, so that the iron-clad horns on both ends of the seemingly ordinary thornwood staff flashed a unique light in the sunset.

The chaotic fighting in Dagon Province yesterday caused more than two-thirds of the players to be injured. The players who were able to survive yesterday's battle were all very capable, but there were still only a few "lucky ones" like Xiao Fu Ge who fought the entire game and reaped great rewards without suffering any damage himself.

The reason why he could accept the mission and return to Transia through the astral realm today with full energy was partly due to Little Rich's extraordinary strength, and the rest was entirely due to the escort of his "personal advisor".

To be honest, although Ms. Casper has various problems and a not-so-glorious past, her fighting ability is really strong.

Especially the unique tactics formed by combining the druid's control tactics and the monk's super destructive power, which made her not afraid even when facing the Dagon demon.

Brother Xiaofu has always been good at knowing how to use people.

Therefore, in order to commend Ms. Gasper for her outstanding performance in the previous battle, he gave the "Wave Messenger" armor he had exchanged for to his personal consultant for use, which made Ms. Gasper feel that Xiao Fu Ge was indeed a good "boss".

He was just planning to think of a way to treat this generous foreigner as a long-term meal ticket or something, and what's more, Rich Man had the same plan. He was thinking about sending a few gifts to improve his personal reputation and hiring the capable and heroic Ms. Casper as a "long-term bodyguard."

It would be best if we could sign a contract or something.

As a result, what he thought came true. After receiving Governor Murphy's order to investigate Baphomet's nightmare realm, the archdruid almost urged Little Rich to get to work quickly.

She also has a nightmare mark from Baphomet on her body, which is a time bomb that has tormented her for more than a hundred years.

If he doesn't get rid of this thing quickly now that the old gods have escaped, he will most likely become the target of the Nightmare Tyrant after Baphomet devours the dreams of all living beings and gets rid of his weakness.

Therefore, this time running back to Transia is not only a service to Governor Murphy, but also a self-rescue. By the way, he can see if he can gain some benefits from the incident in which Baphomet was punished or even killed by the Chosen One of Creation.

Well, Casper is indeed a "God Thief". She is still thinking about making a fortune in this tense situation. Her audacity is evident.

"Huh? You are Kudel, the Nantes Ranger?"

The moment the vigilant Casper escorted Little Rich onto the Maginot Line, he was immediately attracted by the vampire general who was waiting for them.

As Little Fu Ge looked at him in surprise, the Archdruid frowned and looked up and down at Kuder, then said:

"You bastard! You've caused me so much trouble."

"Ok?"

These words made General Kuder frown.

He also looked at the elven druid in front of him, searching for this face in his memories, and soon he reaped the rewards.

"Ms. Casper? You actually survived? This is unbelievable. I thought all the soldiers who guarded the Black Flame Pass were killed in the battle."

Kudel walked forward with emotion, wanting to reminisce about the past, but was slapped in the face by the cold-faced Casper. The slap left Little Rich stunned, and several Blood Eagle sergeants beside Kudel immediately drew their weapons and surrounded the Archdruid.

"Get out!"

The former Nantes Ranger shouted, ordering his guards to step back.

He looked at Casper in front of him, whose eyes were burning with undisguised anger. She cursed:
"It was because you were determined to fight to the death in that damn place! It was because of your damn passion! So many people died for your foolish ideals. Do you know what price my team and I paid to escape from the Black Flame Pass that night?
I lost my family in the meteorite dropped by the Bone Gnawer King!

In order to survive the most difficult times, I even had to live in that evil dream, enduring day by day with the mark of shame left on me by Baphomet.

I thought you were dead, Commander Kuder.

I thought you had committed a great sin but it would be fine if you died, but in fact you didn't die, and you lived in hiding as a vampire for the past hundred years. If I had known you were still alive, I would definitely not let you live so easily. "

"But Lord Kudel hasn't had an easy life these years, Casper."

Brother Xiaofu couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward to dissuade him:
“He was transformed into a vampire by Sarokdar against his will. For so many years, he has been wandering on the fringes of vampire society, doing his best to maintain his ethics and pursuits as a human.

I know his story, so I can confirm that whatever misconceptions you may have about him are not true.”

"Shut up, you little brat!"

Casper turned back and stared at Little Rich, and she said:

"You have never experienced such a desperate situation and still have a beautiful view of the world. You also cannot understand what kind of disaster has been caused by Kudel's foolish persistence."

“That’s the old lady’s signature statement, but in fact, not only do I know it, I’ve seen it with my own eyes!
I also fought against the Black Disaster at Black Flame Pass. I held my ground where you once fought. I saw with my own eyes the warriors who died there more than a hundred years ago. Their remains were used by Huang Hun to plot a conspiracy that almost ruined the war situation at Black Flame Pass again.

I still remember the pain that Lord Kudel felt at that time."

Little Fu said loudly:

"I know you've had a hard time over the past hundred years, Casper, but that's no reason for you to insult others casually. Moreover, you should consider the occasion when you lose your temper! Is this the time to waste time? We must find Baphomet's hiding place in the nightmare realm and the pillars of this nightmare realm before the night falls tonight.

Otherwise, when the Lord of Darkness becomes stronger at night, Transia will suffer a new round of torture."

"Yes, no matter what your attitude towards the past is, we must set off now, Ms. Casper."

General Kudel took out a pocket watch expressionlessly, checked the time, and said:

"There are only two hours left until nightfall. The Scepter of God is waiting for guidance. Lord Murphy must defend against the return of the Lord of Darkness in reality. Since he cannot escape into dreams, we are his eyes.

I know you have a lot of complaints about me, but now is the time to act."

"Oh? You're going to follow us into the nightmare too?"

Casper narrowed his eyes and said:
"Aren't you afraid that I'll leave you there? You know I have every reason to do so."

"If I can get lost in nightmares and the chaos in Transia ends sooner, then it's not unacceptable."

Kuder took his Griffin heavy sword, which was recast with the Origin Alloy, from the servant and said:

“I am the general of Transia and the defender of this land. When danger comes, I should be the first to step forward to fight. The raids of the Lord of Darkness and the Nightmare Tyrant not only trouble this land, but also humiliate me as a defender.

So, whatever you decide to do in your nightmare, Casper, I suggest you make it your first priority to foil Baphomet's plot, okay?"

"Humph"

In response to this, the Archdruid merely hummed without much emotion. Kudel turned around and went to prepare the team members to enter the nightmare realm, while Casper also had to prepare some herbs on the spot that could be used to assist in falling asleep.

She is a "rare talent" in this area.

There are only two forces in the Old Continent that have knowledge of and involvement in the dream realm, the Nightmare Church and the Cult of Dagon. Now it is obviously impossible for Transia to send a few captured murloc saints to help, so Casper, the God Thief, becomes almost the only choice.

However, just as Casper was preparing the herbs, an "uninvited" guest visited her.

To be precise, it is an astral projection.

Bonnie, the Archduke's personal guard who had also just returned to Transia, silently knocked on the door of the temporary guest room where Casper was staying. Under the latter's surprised gaze, she placed a scarlet crystal ball on the table in the room and then walked out.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Casper always felt that the look of this vampire lady nicknamed "Mad Woman" was full of indescribable "aggression" when she looked at him.

Even though she was stronger than the other person, her female instinct told her that it was better to stay away from this weird Bonnie.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

But after the door closed, the Archdruid's eyes fell on the crystal ball in front of him.

She could tell at a glance that this was a very valuable psychic item, of high quality and complicated to make, but it could only be used for astral projection and prophecy in certain circumstances, and it was only used by those powerful, deep-rooted, and very particular psychics.

Although Casper had never been to Transia before, she knew that there was only one vampire psionicist in this place who met all of the above requirements.

"buzz"

In the halo of light brought by the crystal ball being lit, a bust of Tris appeared in front of Casper in the form of a projection. The Blood Eagle Duke seemed to be busy mixing some alchemical substances in the laboratory, so he said to Casper in a very concise tone:
"I heard from my little cutie that you are a 'Mind Stealer'?"

"Yes, I am."

Casper admitted it openly.

This straightforward attitude, which did not seem like that of a boring elf, made Tris's beautiful eyes flicker. She put down the work at hand, looked at Casper seriously, and said:
"I used to be like that, too. But that was a long time ago. I wanted to use my life experience to advise you not to continue on this path, but I also know that those who can take this path are either born villains or forced to do so.

Which one are you? "

Casper shrugged, unzipped his collar, revealing the hideous nightmare mark on his chest, and said:

"you guess?"

"Hmm, it's the mark of power from Baphomet. It seems that you were favored by it during your brief contact with it. Although I don't know much about this small evil cult, the Nightmare Church, I also know that Baphomet's followers often call themselves its 'children'.

That’s a disgusting statement.”

Tris carefully examined the marks on Casper's chest. She discerned traces of several forbidden techniques from them. After a moment's thought, she asked:
"So, you were summoned by the little cutie this time. Are you planning to take this opportunity to resolve this unstable time bomb in your body?"

"The way you address Governor Murphy is really interesting. If I remember correctly, Governor Murphy would affectionately call you 'my dear wife'. Your relationship is really good enough to make people envious, not to mention that you are a vampire couple, which is even more precious."

Casper covered his mouth and smiled.

Although this was the first time she and Tris met, they felt very compatible. Perhaps because they had similar experiences, she felt very relaxed in front of the legendary "Scarlet Witch". She first made a joke, and then said with a serious expression:

"I have personally witnessed how Governor Murphy handled the Black Holy Grail, which confirmed to me that as long as I provide the necessary help, Baphomet will never be able to escape from Governor Murphy's personal pursuit. The Nightmare Tyrant will meet a sudden death, and I will get the freedom I have longed for for more than a hundred years.

Unfortunately, I see regret in your eyes, so I want to ask, do you think there is anything wrong with my decision?"

"It's no problem. It's natural for someone who has been tortured by the evil god's mark for more than a hundred years to desire freedom. I just feel sorry that your decision means you have to give up another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Tris said softly:
"Have you ever thought that these things that have tortured you for a long time and that you regard as the source of shame and pain can also be transformed into power that can be manipulated by you in another way. What I mean is that if you follow the path of the mind thief and with the help of my little cutie, you can reach the end of this road tonight.

Baphomet has tortured you for so long, you deserve some compensation.

Now, I have a secret book here.

This is what I prepared for my ridiculous "road to godhood" back then. I had intended to bury this thing with me in the coffin of the future, but now you seem to need it more than I do. This thing allows you to use this power mark to reversely extract the divine power belonging to Baphomet.

If you are lucky enough, you may even gain some power over your dreams.

But there is only one chance!"

Trish warned:
"You can only pass with a full load if you activate it at the right moment. Activating it too early or too late will kill you! This is a very risky thing, so you have some time to make a decision before you set off.

But Casper
You see, we hit it off very well. It was our first meeting, but we talked so much and it was so profound. Do you know what this means?"

The Archdruid stared at Tris, biting her lip and asked back:
"Appreciate further details."

"This means that you are the same type of person as I was back then. You disregarded the rules because of your extraordinary talent. You were ambitious but were burdened by fate. You have reached the peak and fallen to the bottom. And you have gradually found your true self through the tempering and honing brought by time."

Tris touched her face with some regret and said:

“I won’t hide it from you. This time, the alliance between Nightmare Tyrant and Chaos has exposed the weakness of Order in this area. We have almost no experience in the realm of dreams. Although Dagon is dead, the Dagon Cult is still there. They will definitely attack us again in this realm in the future. If we don’t prepare, we will fall into the predicament we are in today again.

This is not possible!

The material world needs to be protected in all aspects!
But my little cutie is already very tired, so leave these gap-filling tasks to me.

What lies before you is an opportunity!
You may soar to the sky because of it, or you may be wiped out because of it.

So, I give this forbidden knowledge to you, Casper.

From what you did on Gramay Island, it can be seen that you have the mentality and ability to control power. If that fragmented but long-lasting dream of all living beings is handed over to you to control, I think the little cutie will not object.

I see a little timidity in your eyes.

Maybe you need a little courage or advice, go find someone you trust and ask for his or her opinion.

I hope you will not regret embarking on this path, and I hope you and I can both achieve what we wish for.”
