Chapter 3490 The Demon of Dreams
The red-haired administrator was immediately annoyed by Shad's use of the title "Professor," but then she remembered that it seemed she was the one who asked him not to reveal their relationship in front of others. But she was still unhappy.
Good evening to you, Mr. Hamilton.
The old elf greeted him cheerfully.
"Shad, sit here."
Daniste, who was sitting on the long sofa, gestured for Shad to sit next to her, while Emilia obediently sat down on the short sofa opposite her elders with her head down, feeling that her face was still flushed.
Danist's decision to have Shad sit beside her was itself a statement; the old elf, with her keen insight, certainly understood this:
"The reason I came here this time is actually because of Emilia's matter."
She got straight to the point:
"Although there were some minor hiccups during the purification ceremony on Monday night, it was generally a complete success. At the end of the ceremony, we performed divination to try to find the most suitable location for the capping ceremony, and the result showed a snow-capped mountain."
"Yes, Emilia has already told me."
"Currently, different clans have different interpretations of this divination. We Moonbrook Elves believe that the so-called land of destiny is very likely located on Fatummister Island, where the story of the chosen ones is currently taking place."
The old elf then made a request to Shad:
“Mr. Hamilton, I heard from Professor Daniste and Emilia that you are quite familiar with the local Fatu people, is that right? Then could you arrange for the elders of the clan to go to the island to confirm the situation? We need to investigate the island before we can determine if it is suitable for the capping ceremony.”
They didn't contact the church directly or the Prophets' Association, whose headquarters were just a short distance off the coast, which suggests they were quite familiar with the situation on Fatummünster Island. If they really wanted to confirm whether the location was suitable for a capping ceremony, it would have been easier to deal with the oldest indigenous people there.
Shad naturally wouldn't refuse:
"Of course, no problem. And from Thursday to Saturday, the Fatumens' most important annual festival, All Souls' Day, will be held. At that time, the entire island will experience unusual elemental tides, but after the festival, it is said that Fatumens Island will be in an extremely peaceful state for a short period of time. Going there at that time would be a good choice."
Although Shad may not go to Fatummont Island tomorrow, having Emilia lead the old elves to Kel-Todd Town, with Shad as a guarantor, Elder Harald and the others should not mind the ancient elves' actions.
After all, the elves only wanted to use the venue for their ceremony, unlike the Prophet's Association—according to the elders, the diviners wanted to seize the secrets of the sacred mountain.
After discussing the Fatu people with Granny Kisara, the old elf rose to take her leave, departing with Emilia, who kept turning back to look at her.
Once the elves had disappeared into the bookshelves, the red-haired librarian took Shad's arm, her rose-red eyes fixed on him:
"Why are you so late today? Granny Kisara arrived an hour ago and the teapot has been changed twice. I thought you finally couldn't hold back and found a place to eat Emilia."
She joked, and Shad kissed her forehead:
"Something happened, but it's all right now, at least for now."
He gave a brief description of what had happened that afternoon, which made Daniste somewhat angry:
"Amelia didn't ask me for help? She came straight back to me without delaying things. Has Miss Siamor forgotten about me?"
Shad then defended the little elf, saying:
"Amelia spent the entire evening using her time-reversal ability to try and find traces of the Bloodweavers in order to locate the [House of the False Humans]. She was extremely busy."
"I don't care what she does, you need to take good care of yourself."
She rested her head on Shad's shoulder, and only let him leave after he promised to be careful in the near future. Of course, Shad didn't forget to hand over all three evil divine symbols he had brought from the [House of the False Man] to Daniste for disposal.
The administrator hadn't expected that the fake people would set up a prayer room inside the "House of Fake People" to worship these gods, but she shared the same thought as Shad: even evil gods wouldn't accept the faith of the fake people; they were probably just imitating human behavior.
When they got home, the girls were discussing their accommodations for the night. Since Sylvia and Megan were already there, they naturally didn't want to leave.
However, Dorothy and Luvia weren't feeling well and wouldn't be spending the night in Shad's bedroom. Galina, on the other hand, thought she should be generous sometimes, so she left the evening with Sylvia and the Megan sisters—more importantly, because she had to get up early for a meeting at the Kingdom Council the next morning.
Before going to bed, Shad found Luvia on the third floor again and confirmed that the last coin had been used. Luvia did this for Shad's sake, so Shad naturally didn't say anything.
However, without special coins on hand, it's still not entirely safe. It just so happens that Xia De is going to various cities tomorrow on business, so he can check on the progress of his long-term commissions.
So Sylvia and the Edwards sisters spent a passionate night with Shad. Because Sylvia had only been intimate with Shad just before the year-end holidays, she was still somewhat unaware of Megan and Audrey's "habits".
"Wait a minute, didn't we agree that each person gets one turn? Come down quickly, it's my turn."
"But Megan and I are two individuals."
"You're all the same person! Stop fussing, it's my turn!"
"But how can one person have two **?"
Even Sylvia, who was quite good at math, found it difficult to answer such a question. However, Shad was fair to the girls; he put one arm around Megan, who had a languid expression, and then kissed Audrey, who was smiling happily.
"You two should stop bullying Sylvia."
However, Sylvia understood that although they had one body, their souls were indeed two. So, the young, dark-haired witch ultimately allowed Megan and Audrey to take advantage of her, and the Edwards sisters rewarded her—when Shad built the "White Tower," they let Sylvia sit at the top. The witches' skin was indeed very white.
(Mia is running.)
Early Wednesday morning, after seeing off the playful witch, Luvia who was going to work, and Dorothy who was going to the publishing house, Shad began his day's schedule, taking Mia with him out of the house.
The first stop was the doctor's clinic in the eastern district of Topsk. There were two things I wanted to do with the doctor: one was to ask him when I would be departing for Fatummister Island, and the other was to ask about Miss Koens, who had given me the [Sword Pact] as a companion on this time adventure.
Because Xia De arrived early, the doctor had just finished breakfast and hadn't yet seen his first patient of the day. He invited Xia De to sit down in the reception room, and after listening to Xia De's question, immediately said:
“I received a letter from the church yesterday. As long as I go for two more checks on Thursday and Friday, I will no longer be restricted from leaving Topsk. So I plan to go to Fatummst Island this weekend. That devil must be hiding there, but I will find him.”
The doctor seemed to be in a good mood:
"Of course, if we find any trace of the [House of the Pseudo-Humans] on the island, I'd be happy to help. So what if those pseudo-humans run off to some remote island on the south coast? In the end, they still fall into their fate, don't they?"
The doctor was unaware of Shad's experiences yesterday. Shad briefly recounted them before mentioning his encounter with the witcher Miss Cohens in the past, and the dream-devouring demon Nagul that she was tracking:
"That ancient hunter claimed she entered that eerie inn in pursuit of a demon. But in my interactions with her, I clearly sensed demonic power within her. Doctor, you know how powerful my senses are; I'm not wrong."
What's even stranger is that despite possessing demonic powers, the Demon Hunter's Seal doesn't react to her. I even suspect she might be in the same situation as you, having achieved some kind of 'balance'.
While Shad might not be able to identify all the holy symbols, the doctor certainly knew every ancient evil spirit. He listened carefully to Shad's explanation before nodding slightly.
"No, no, it's impossible for a second case to occur in my situation."
Regarding the ancient hunter you mentioned, I can explain that. The true form of the Dream Eater Demon, Nagul, is likely hidden within Miss Koens's dream. Although called the Dream Eater Demon, Nagul is actually the 'Demon of Dreams'. Its origins may not be as ancient as those of ancient demons like the Stone Mirror Demon, but because its true form is rarely in the material world, it is relatively a mysterious demon.
You know I'm also skilled in the power of dreams. Before I met you, I tried to find traces of it, but it hadn't appeared for many years.
Shad didn't care where the demon was now:
"Hiding in dreams? So Miss Cohens' current situation can also be considered a form of demon possession?"
"Yes, but the situation is a bit special. Although the huntress is of a high level in your description, she is obviously still too young. The Dream Eater Demon Nagul is good at confusing reality and dreams. What she sees may not be the truth, and what she doesn't see may not have happened."
The doctor advised:
"I think Miss Koens's current state is similar to sleepwalking. The Dream-Eating Demon Nagul opened a long dream for her, which is why he was able to hide in her dream. And the fact that Miss Koens looks normal in her dream state is just that she doesn't recognize her own problem."
This approach actually has a flaw: the huntress, who was actually sleepwalking, couldn't fall asleep again. But since she was in that hotel you mentioned, she was hesitant to sleep easily, which is why she didn't immediately realize her problem.
