Chapter 621 – It’s a beautiful sunny day

Chapter 621 – The sunshine is so nice today
In the area of Silantis’ wreckage, a phantom suspected to be a modern-day resident of Lightwind Harbor appeared in the winds that suddenly blew on this scorched earth.

Both Nina and Maurice saw the phantom’s presence – it was clearly not an illusion.

“There’s nothing here ……,” Morris whispered with a frown as he came to the spot where the phantom had just surfaced and scrutinized the surroundings.

The sudden appearance of the situation made Nina also a little nervous, she subconsciously lowered her voice: “How did that one just now look like a ghost ……”

Morris looked at the girl with an odd face, “Do you need to be afraid of ghosts?”

“…… Right oh.”

Nina muttered as an afterthought, and the moment her words fell, something else suddenly appeared in the corner of her eye.

It was another “phantom” that emerged in the wind and dust mist, flashing through the charred black ruins interwoven with huge branches, and in that brief moment, Nina felt as if she could see the other person’s face clearly……. She even felt that the face looked a bit familiar.

It seemed to be the owner of that clothing store in Lightwind Harbor’s XC district, an elf lady who always wore a smile – her face appeared dully in the wind and dispersed with it.

“Over here!” Nina instantly reacted, and tugging Morris along, she ran in the direction where the second phantom had appeared, and before they could reach that location, Nina saw what seemed to be another flash of something in the fog in the distance.

The phantoms, the phantoms of the elves, began to appear continuously between the wind and the dust and fog, as Nina and Morris continued to come deeper into the ruins, the phantoms also appeared more and more frequently, at first it was just an occasional flash from the edge of the field of vision, but later on, it was already the case that if you looked in any direction, you would be able to see one or two hazy, as if a ghost-like shadows appearing and disappearing in the air.

Nina’s eyes widened without her realizing it, as she and Maurice walked on the scorched earth strewn with ash and black slag, between the massive wreckage of the Landis, and around them, the “residents of Windward Harbor” in their modern dresses appeared and disappeared like unstable phantoms, floating in the dust and floating in the air in a state of stagnation and confusion. These phantoms with a stagnant look, floating blankly in the dust, did not react to the approach of Nina and Maurice, with a …… creepy atmosphere.

Finally, Nina and Morris stopped in an open clearing.

They were surrounded by phantoms, the phantoms of elves, even interspersed with some even the outline of the blurred, can not distinguish the race of the shadows, near and far, the real and virtual intermingled, sometimes hidden, the disorderly wind swept up the sand and dust, through these empty ghosts, through the huge crown of the Silentis remains, chaotic and dim light of the sky, uncountable phantoms gathered in the fabled “” Tree of the World “” waste of the world. Tree of the World” ruins, as if a strange and frightening …… gathering of ghosts.

“I’m really starting to get a little scared this time ……,” Nina scratched the corner of her coat a little nervously, the air around her twisted slightly, and a burning glow emerged from under her eyes from time to time, “These are really the elves of Light Wind Harbor …… I also saw that uncle selling ‘elf burritos’ at the intersection of Crown Street, and he puts stinky and rotting offal pâté in his burritos ……”

As soon as she said those words, she immediately glanced nervously at the phantom not far away–because she remembered that as soon as she had described the “elf burrito” in that way, the uncle would immediately correct her in a particularly angry and serious manner, saying that it was in fact “Pure flavor sauce inherited for 4,000 years”, and his expression would be very scary.

However, the phantom just quietly dissipated, just like the other phantoms that kept appearing and dissipating around him.

Nina turned her head and looked at Morris, “…… Those people who disappear every night in Lightwind Harbor aren’t all here, are they? They’re all inside the ‘Wall of Silence’?”

Maurice hadn’t said anything since a moment ago, just frowning as he looked around with a contemplative expression on his face, before suddenly breaking the silence a moment later, “Silentis is ‘protecting’ them.”

Nina didn’t understand for a moment, “Huh?”

“That’s Silantis’ ‘protection’,” Morris seemed to have figured something out, “She’s trying to ‘collect’ the minds of all the elves ‘ into the inside of the Wall of Silence, she’s convinced that this will protect them when the end of the world comes.”

Saying this, the old scholar paused, and after a brief moment of thought, he continued to speak, “Normally, every elf who enters the Dream of the Nameless One should be transported directly to this place, and turned into a phantom of this place, but a few of us are the exceptions to the rule, and the Captain’s power allows us to stay awake in the dream world, which is why ‘Shireen ‘ appeared to us – Silantis thought we were ‘lost out there’ elves.”

Nina was dumbfounded, but she immediately understood what her teacher was saying, and her instincts told her that she feared it was the truth.

But that doesn’t explain what happened to Ms. Vanna – what about the desert, and the giant who called himself a “god”?

In addition to this question, Nina then thought of another, even worse one.

“Then won’t something go wrong with these elves’ minds being trapped in the wreckage of Silentis every night …… for a long time?!” “Of course it will,” Maurice’s expression was grave, “Outside of Lightwind Harbor, the sleeping sickness has already begun to spread among the elven inhabitants of the various city-states, and inside Lightwind Harbor, the erosion of the dreamscape has already begun to leave its mark on the real world, and this kind of ‘protection’ ‘ continues like this …… is afraid that something big is going to happen.”

Nina opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something else, but just then, another wind and sand grew in front of her eyes, and a new phantom appeared in front of her eyes again.

It was a middle-aged man with dry and disheveled hair, a beard that hadn’t been shaved for a few days, and an unkempt and tired appearance – as an elf, an elf whose racial characteristics were stamped with the qualities of “health, longevity, and elegance”, that appearance gave people the impression that his health was on the verge of breaking down, and he looked as though he was on the verge of breaking down. As an elf whose racial characteristics were all labeled as “health, longevity, and elegance”, his appearance gave people the impression that he was on the verge of dying at any time.

Nina immediately recognized this phantom.

“It’s Master Taran El,” she looked at Taran El in surprise, whose face was stagnant, in the same state of blank stagnation as the other phantoms, even though she had already seen other “acquaintances” here, seeing this elf scholar at this time was still a bit of a surprise. Surprised, “He also appeared here ……”

“It looks like all the people who disappeared during the Dream of the Nameless One will appear here, it’s not a surprise,” Morris looked calm, as he spoke, he walked in front of Talan-El’s phantom, and looked at the other party with a slight frown on his brow, “The key is to understand these people who are at the stage of ‘entering the dream’, and to understand how the ‘dreaming’ process works,” he said. ‘dreaming’ stage of the elves are actually in what state. They seem to have established an increasingly solid bond with Silantis, and are unlikely to be easily awakened ……”

Nina also came over, and she boldly reached out her finger to poke Master Taran El’s arm, “I remember Mr. El was trapped in the dream realm once last time, and that was when he managed to wake himself up to save himself by whatever method he used ……”

Taran-El’s phantom suddenly blinked.

Thinking she had misread it, Nina looked up and looked again.

Taran-El slowly turned his head and turned his eyes to her.

Nina: “……”

In the next second, a huge ball of fire rose up in the air over the wreckage of Silantis.

The astonishing shockwave shattered the chaotic clouds in the sky, and the winds of disorder hovering around the wreckage of the World Tree stagnated for a split second, and the terrifyingly terrifying fireball rose up like a new star, causing the entire piece of scorched earth to light up as if it were daytime in a matter of seconds!
However, the fireball did not directly explode on the wreckage of Silentis or those “phantoms” hovering within the wreckage.

Her training had paid off, and in the nick of time, Nina looked up into the sky – her cry of alarm turned into a solar roar, and the outpouring of stellar material only created a temporary sun over the Dream of the Nameless for a few seconds, minimizing the damage from the massive coronal blast.

But even with such a brief impact, the Dream of the Nameless One still reacted instantly, those forests close to the Silent Wall whirling and growing wild, the earth trembling near-boiling under the sun’s illumination, and the mountains rumbling in the distance, as if if it only lasted for one more second, Silentis would awaken under the illumination of the otherworldly sunlight – but as the the ball of fire in the sky dissipated, the Dream of the Nameless One still calmed on its shaky edge.

Inside the Silantis wreckage area, before the massive sand and dust raised by the sky’s shockwave had subsided, a grimy figure crawled out of a pile of ashes – Maurice slapped the dust vigorously off his body, shook the black scum out of his hair, and plucked hard at his ears before he looked up at Nina with glaring eyes: “How many times has the Captain told you not to be so startled!”

Nina was radiating golden sunshine, the whole person hadn’t completely cooled down yet, after hearing Mr. Morris’ words she immediately scratched her face in embarrassment, and before she could say anything, Taran-El’s shocked voice came from the side: “Is that how a shock is used?”

Maurice blew his beard and glared with a look of dismay, “Just tell me if it blew up or not!”

It was not a simple thing to make this old scholar, who was always elegant and calm, act so out of character, it was the first time that Nina saw her teacher almost jumping up and down and cursing, but more than this small matter, she was even more surprised by the nearby Master Talan-El.

This elf scholar, who was just a blank phantom a moment ago, had now turned into a vivid and dynamic “mental entity”, standing in the flying sand and dust, although his body was a little bit messed up by the “solar impact” just now, he had obviously completely “come to his senses”. “awake”.

This great scholar is now staring blankly at Nina, whose afterglow has not yet disappeared, and his eyes are full of stunned and unsettled looks.

Obviously, in the moment of wakefulness by the sun bombardment paste face, this for a subhealthy middle-aged man is a bit too exciting.
