Chapter 56: The Other Side of the Dream World
Annan's expression was a little complicated.
Listening to Dmitry's meaning, it seems that he also knows that he is a traverser for a week.
β¦β¦ In it, this kind of thing is usually hidden until the finale, right?
Righteous gods like Sir Silver, Grandmother, and Yaon, just know this. Why do even my brothers and sisters know that I am a traverser......
"Don't think about it, Annan."
Dmitry glanced at Annan and knew what he was thinking.
Even if he loses his memory, Annan is still Annan after all.
The man with long black hair and a cold temperament spoke, "You were the first person we met.
"The biggest difference between Winter and other countries is that we don't name babies. It is not until the child grows up to be able to eat and dress himself, know how to take care of himself, and will not starve to death at home alone.
"A person who does not have the ability to take care of himself is not worthy of having a name, let alone inheriting a family name...... At best, it's just a pet. β
In the dead of winter, the boundary between "man" and "beast" is not so far.
It can't be called an adult, and can only be treated as a "cub".
Similarly.
If someone commits a sin that a human being should not do, or does something that a human being should not do, then he will be deprived of his human name.
It's like Gryaznuha Rindon was stripped of the surname "Rindong".
- In the Duchy of Winter, this is a very serious "family law" punishment.
If someone is deprived of his family name, he is legally severed from all kinship. This is not a matter of secretly stripping the family name, but it must be reported to the local Winter Church and reported to the whole country every year.
For example, the right of relatives to bail, or the right to monitor the house, and the right to inherit or be inherited, are all written off and cannot be restored. It's like branding the other party's identity as an orphan with "no father, no mother, no relatives".
"Outcasts" who are removed from their families are usually seen by other Winter people as "disrespecting traditions", "having made major mistakes", and "deviant".
And to deprive oneself of one's name would be to strip away all rights as human beings.
If you kill a "nameless person", you will not even be convicted of homicide. Rather, it is "the crime of destroying other people's property" or "the crime of destroying the property of the public".
Felons who are generally imprisoned for more than twenty years but do not receive the death penalty β or who are still of sufficient value β are sentenced to "delisting" by the Duchy of Winter.
It's not just delisting in the legal sense.
Instead, use idol spells to erase the name from this world in a mystical sense. The contracts he had signed were nullified, the rituals associated with his name were erased, and even others could no longer recall his name.
That is, the forgotten people of the world.
In the Duchy of Winter, where "a name is not born until you get it", the name is very important, one of the components of the human race.
"And your name, 'Annan,' was given by you."
As he spoke, Dmitry subconsciously put his hand into his arms and touched the humidor.
But his right hand quickly stiffened, and as if he had thought of something, he removed his hand from his bosom uncomfortably.
As if hiding something, he immediately raised his voice slightly: "What we know from the beginning is you.
"You've lost many mysterious memories. May forget...... In this world, visitors from the other world are not particularly rare. This is especially true of the Duchy of Winterβ"
In the vicinity of the Tower of Storm, there are occasionally surviving Void creatures oozing from the vicinity of the Loophole.
Beings from the Void Realm cannot directly obtain the body of matter after entering the Fog Realm, which is the world where the Misty Continent is located. Because the Void is a world where phenomena are higher than Existence, it is called the Void.
The core power system of the Misty Continent is curse and oath.
The "Element" and the original form of the element, the "Philosopher's Stone", are extraordinary powers that belong to the Void Realm.
- Annan already knew that the flint father was the one who stole the fire.
The Sage Stone of the Void Realm is equivalent to the spell energy of the Fog Realm. It is the root force of the world...... It was after the Father of Sui's stole the Philosopher's Stone from the Void that this world had the "power of the elements".
"The 'element' is a force that is born from the soul and the heart that is determined by the will...... It is the characteristic of the Void Realm. β
Dmitry explains: "In other words, beings from the Void must parasitize the human body in order to survive after entering this world. At least a creature with a will, a mind.
"And the 'mindful body' can actually be understood as a consciousness born in the dream world. The dream world is a link between many worlds - the dream world is the largest, without the concept of time, and it ends next to other worlds.
"In principle, it is not just a nightmare with the theme of 'the history of our world'. It's just that no one has 'memories of other worlds'.
"I've heard of a special ancient profession called the Dream Walker, which allows you to enter other worlds and swim in your dreams...... It's just that this 'secret' was later buried by the mysterious lady.
"It is not entirely impossible for a soul to fall into this world from the other side of the dream world. A powerful dream walker can forcibly capture the soul of the other world to this realm; And if it is an unknown creature native to the dream world, it is said that it can also allow the soul to enter other worlds without losing its memory. You've said before that you should be the second type.
"As far as I know, among the gods, the Red Knight and the Bell Ringer were born from different worlds through dreams. Miss Good Luck traveled through the dream world in the flesh and descended from a certain place in the world to our world...... This is not a secret in the church.
"A soul that is able to cross the dream realm means that it is born to be completely awake in nightmares. This ensures that every soul that comes from the other side of the dream world will be able to become transcendent.
ββ¦β¦ Actually, this is the second time I've discussed this topic with you. β
I also laughed at the Four Dark Carvings in Wonderland before.
It turns out that another story is Annan's Adventures in Wonderland?
A world adjacent to the dream world?
Annan fell into deep thought.
In this way, his original world should also be adjacent to the dream world.
If the Dream Walker was able to enter the dreams of other worlds...... Maybe on the other side of the earth, there is also a perception of the dream world.
It's just that it's definitely not called "Dream World" over there. Just like the "fog world" doesn't care if it is called the "fog world".
β¦β¦ Isn't it a dream?
Don't do it. In that case, the boss of my house is ......
Annan suddenly felt mixed feelings.
He shook his head, dispelling the cranky thoughts in his mind.
He suddenly noticed another detail:
"Wait, you say...... Born transcendent? β
- If that's the case, why did I choose the Ritual Path?
