old dream

Chapter 282 Looking for Distant Stars
This is the first time that Ke Lin wandered through reality in the form of a spirit body. After shedding the heavy material shell, everything seemed to be dyed with another color.The breeze gently caressed the flowers and plants on the river bank, but the gentle wind made Ke Lin sway unsteadily.His feet couldn't touch the ground, and he felt like a wisp of smoke, a shadow floating in the water, and it became difficult to determine whether he existed or not.

The spirit body is extremely fragile, and it may disappear into thin air just because of strong light or fright.But the perception has expanded to an unprecedented level, not referring to the eyes and ears, but the sharpness of the heart, and everything has returned to the freshness and surprise in the eyes of a child, as if he had just been born.

After two lifetimes, Ke Lin entered exhaustion faster than ordinary people.And because he kept forcing himself, he gradually became numb.What's more, his abundance of life has been rapidly consumed in just half a year, and sooner or later he will fall into the same situation as Giovanni.

But at this moment, the strange scene in front of him made Colin startled. The cool air seeped into him bit by bit, and the dew dripped onto the moist soil on the unknown vegetation.This is another world far away, but it is so concrete compared to the misty virtual world. On the contrary, the past of Stade and Danaro gradually becomes unreal.

"It's the first time traveling with a spirit body."

Nancy came to his side and asked, and here, her voice and appearance also became lighter.The troubles of the previous world seem to no longer exist:

"I'm glad you still like this feeling, many wizards have found it hard to accept."

"Why?" Colin didn't speak, but spoke.He found that his voice became calm, containing a kind of open clarity.

"Afraid to be vulnerable," Nancy said, reaching out to Colin as they marched through the ether together.

Besides, not everyone can regain their precious innocence.

Nancy thought with some relief.

The Pale Goddess caused an imbalance, but it didn't break Colin's heart.

…………

Like electrical signals jumping in countless nerves, the spirits of Colin and Nancy flickered in the ether web.

When entering a piece of ether, it is like appearing out of nowhere in the center of a lake.Then continuing along the mysterious connection between the ethers, they flicker into another body of water.

There are also a large number of spirit creatures floating in the lake along the way, and Colin vaguely feels that they do not belong here originally, but drift from other quadrants like himself.Regardless of the number or strength, these spirit bodies are much higher than reality.Although both belong to the material world, the frequency of the Red River Valley is obviously deeper than that of Stadt and Danaro.

"Although I don't think it is necessary to remind." Nancy, who is also a spirit body, entered an ether field again, and she said after a slight pause:

"You know that a spirit body cannot leave the etheric range, right?"

"Ah."

After leaving the imaginary world, the spirit element can only be transmitted in the ether.

Once the overflowing ether is directly exposed to the material world, the spirit element will collapse into another existence in a rapid decline.Like the overflow that once happened to myself.

It is said that this is the "Master" who casts the material world, repelling and crushing all invading spirit elements.

Therefore, the travel of the spirit body is not as free as imagined. If there is no suitable ether environment, generally it can only be trapped in a small area with a limited range.

If it is in the original quadrant, the result is probably the same.

But this red river valley is different.

After jumping over several pieces of ether in a row, they began to enter around those rivers.Natural waters generally do not have ether, even if there is, it is actually swimming fish attached to the water, or trees along the coast.

But the river here has an extremely wide ether, not fragmented, but a whole, extending infinitely along the flow of the river.

They fly almost close to the surface, or rather conduction.Colin looked at the river flowing upstream in surprise. Although they were red, they were not turbid red like blood, but as transparent as rubies, as if they had just dripped from pomegranate fruit.

He is no stranger to this color, and can even be said to be familiar with it.

Because that's the color of redstone.

Is redstone dissolved in this red river?
He looked up, and there was far more than this one red river in the red river valley. At least within the range of his vision, there were seven or eight other rivers flowing in a criss-cross pattern.

It's unheard of, and it doesn't even need to extract the redstone dissolved in the river water, it can be used as redstone just by bottling it.

This is an unimaginably rich world.but.

"Is there no way we can bring our bodies?" Colin asked suddenly, although he had vaguely guessed Nancy's answer.

"It's okay," she said.

"If you are not afraid that it will turn into a ball of fleshy pulp the moment it enters this quadrant, or be torn into dust smaller than atoms."

They rushed forward, passing countless tiny floating elves.Following the flow of the river, they flew towards high places.

Although I don't know why the river flows backwards, it can be seen that the physical rules of the two material quadrants are completely different.

Perhaps they were written by two authors, two "masters" with very different personalities.So the way things are made and the logic are contradictory.

Outsiders can only enter in the form of a spirit body, and at the physical level, nothing can be brought in and nothing can be taken out.

So for this "dreamland", Yemin will always be a passer-by.

Colin looked forward to Nancy, because of the imaging, her appearance remained the same.But at this moment, Colin faintly felt that her outline was not stable, as if there were faces with different expressions in her body, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

But no matter which face and expression they have, they all have the same characteristic, that is, deep loneliness.

Yemin shuttles between the most absurd dreams, seemingly free, but this is someone else's dream after all, after all, the body has been forever confined to the original material world.And because they are the only ones who can come and go freely, even the people in the original quadrant feel that they do not belong here.

He could go anywhere, but he had nowhere to escape.A race that was forever imprisoned on the journey after losing its homeland.

Just like myself from another world.

Ke Lin wondered for a moment, could the world he lived in in his previous life be one of the countless quadrants in this spectrum?

But now it seems that even if he finds it again, he may not be able to go back.

A seemingly primitive settlement flashed past the edge of vision.Nancy glanced sideways, left Colin and walked along the connection, flickering to the village made of mud walls.

Colin saw her floating in the air from a distance, condescending.The aborigines here should not be able to see her, but after a brief commotion, some people fell to the ground.

The aborigines wore strange costumes, which made their abdomens appear extraordinarily bloated.A closer look revealed that they were some heavy stone-like objects.Associating the upstream river, maybe it is to prevent myself from falling into the sky because of the liquid in my body.

After just ten minutes, Nancy returned to the long ether along the river.

"I asked them for directions so I could find where I was going quickly."

"What are you looking for?" asked Colin.

"At the border of the Red River Valley, several rivers converge at the end of the cloud and mist, and there is a city built by the dark river for itself. A capital city floating in a dream."

"It was a fantastic place.

While saying these words, Nancy's expression softened naturally.

"We call it the 'distant star.'"
