Artificer Adventure Guide

"Pah"

Just as Carl was absent-mindedly sketching the details of Hope's outline in his mind, something wet was thrown in front of him.

"There is a stone slab for you to grill meat in the dimensional bag. Restart it. We need a heat source to bake clothes."

Hope's voice sounded from not far away, with a calm tone.

She didn't know how many times she had experienced such a situation. If it was in the outside world, she might be able to detect the weather changes in advance and hide in the building based on experience alone.

"Okay."

Stretching out his hand, Carl fumbled on the floor, and soon he touched the dimensional bag wet by rain.

Opening the bag, Carl fumbled in it, and then took out the stone slab for grilling meat.

Injecting some spirituality into it, the flame rune absorbed the surrounding magic power, gradually making the stone slab warm.

"Will the clothes be burned if they are put directly on it?"

As Hope asked this question, the thumping sound of the soles of her feet stepping directly on the wooden floor came from far to near.

She came over and brought the already wet clothes.

"I'm not sure, but let's keep some distance. We only have this set of clothes now."

Thinking that he and Hope were now honest with each other, Carl felt that his blood was gradually heating up.

"Okay, move to the right, let's squeeze together and keep warm."

Before Carl could react, an incredibly elastic thing was already attached to his waist.

Following that, a force acted on Carl's body through that thing, causing him to move directly to the right for a distance.

Afterwards, the dark room fell into a long silence.

The spiritual runes exuded a very safe temperature.

The clothes hanging around the stone slabs were steaming, making people's nostrils itch.

Carl and Hope hugged their knees and sat side by side in the corner of the room, waiting for the clothes to be dried.

Amid the dense rain, Carl's consciousness gradually became slow.

He was too tired.

Both the warrior training that Hope helped him with and the emergency installation of the house just now consumed a lot of his energy.

It was fine when his adrenaline surged just now, but once he calmed down, Carl immediately reached his limit.

His head kept shaking back and forth, and finally, Carl could no longer hold on and fell asleep directly.

...

In the dream world, Carl's consciousness became clear again.

But unlike before, the light in the dream world disappeared.

Carl could not see anything except the magic runes in the sky and the magic weapon models around him.

Suddenly, a familiar object stuck to his waist and "arched" him to the right as Carl remembered.

Subconsciously, Carl reached out and grabbed the thigh that should be close to his body in theory.

The soft and elastic skin made Carl feel that he was pinching a real thigh.

But he knew very well that this was a dream world and there should not be such an experience.

The dream world can indeed create various illusions, but they are just illusions, and there is no touch and other physical parameters that match the corresponding materials.

Carl has verified this many times in his previous dreams.

"..."

Feeling the touch in his palm, Carl was silent, not knowing what to do for a while.

After a long while, he tentatively came up with the idea of ​​"having light".

In a flash, the sky in the dream world was bright, and the dazzling red skin flashed with a moist luster, occupying Carl's vision so openly.

"It seems that not only the feel, but also the appearance is simulated. Has my plug-in evolved?"

Closing his eyes, Carl tried to clear his chaotic thoughts.

But the simulated Hope suddenly pounced on him and used the fighting skills he used in training on him.

Carl was directly entangled by the other party, and his skin was tightly pressed against his skin.

"Calm down, this is just an illusion I simulated. As long as I calm down, I can...hiss~"

The same pain as in the previous training came, and Carl felt that his arm seemed to be dislocated.

But because of his posture, Carl could feel the pain while being squeezed in the middle by Hope's front armor.

"Damn it! How can I put clothes on the two of us? This new function is very suitable for training, but how can I control it?"

His head kept hitting the ground in the dream world, and Carl forced himself to calm down.

But controlling thoughts is not that simple, and today's dream world seems to have a very high degree of response to any of Carl's thoughts.

In the past, Carl could only change the dream world when he was focused, but from just now, his slightly more obvious thoughts were actually executed by the dream world.

"Psychic power! By the way, I still have psychic power! If I use psychic power..."

Psychic power fluctuations emanated from his body, and Carl's chaotic thoughts began to converge under the constraints of psychic power.

As his distracting thoughts became fewer and fewer, the Hope illusion that was clinging to him loosened his hand, climbed up from his body, and stood aside.

The entire dream world fell into a state of stillness, and Carl's mind was as calm as water.

At a certain moment, he suddenly felt that he had fallen into a "deeper" dream.

But before Carl could gain more insights into this, the entire dream world suddenly changed because of his fluctuating thoughts.

The farm in his hometown, the classroom in his previous life, his parents, friends, childhood friends, Hope, and his girlfriend in his previous life whose name he almost forgot, countless illusions quickly appeared in front of Carl, and then quickly disappeared.

His thoughts fluctuated again, and chaotic thoughts began to emerge one by one.

I don’t know how long it took, but the dream world stabilized.

When he opened his eyes again, Carl found himself lying in the room in the Eruden wilderness.

The decorations around him made him feel a sense of intimacy, as if he had really returned to his home.

"Carl~"

Just then, an emotional voice sounded in Carl's ears, and Hope, who was more mature than in reality, lay on his side beside Carl and opened his eyes lazily.

Seeing Carl wake up, she held Carl's arm and placed it in the middle of her chest.

The two bodies were close together, like a couple in love.

"What's going on? Is my cheat really Inception?"

Carl swallowed hard and felt his mouth dry.

Seeing Carl in a daze, Hope smiled charmingly and leaned over like a water snake.

At this moment, Carl had a strong premonition that he could do anything with the other party as long as he wanted.

"No, this is too beastly. Hope is my important companion. I can't rely on this special ability to treat her like this in a dream. If I really like her, I can chase her in reality! Unless..."

The moment this thought emerged in his mind, the surrounding scene instantly collapsed.

Carl returned to the dream world he was in before, and some kind of enlightenment emerged in his heart.

'This is the second layer of the dream world, which can simulate the real physical engine and material to a certain extent. I just left the third layer of the dream. The time flow rate between each layer of the dream is twenty times different. '
