Chapter 378
Dreams are the world of the unconscious.
It is a physiological phenomenon that occurs in the process of processing emotions or memories experienced in everyday life, and most of them wake up the moment they recognize that the current situation is a dream.
But with Velvet, it was different.
Now, Velvet wasn’t asleep to recover from her tired body, nor was she sorting out unprocessed memories with the help of her sleep state.
“Kyahang! There are so many rooms!”
Right now, Velvet was exploring the world of dreams with the power of artifacts such as the mana cloud Adela used and candy from Baku.
Squeak –
Opening the old door, which was so old that the hinges squeak, Velvet saw the moment she was born.
The appearance of Velvet, born from an egg after breaking its shell, and the insolvent people surrounding it. Even Velvet used polymorph and spoke as soon as she was born, so it was truly an extraordinary dragon-like birth.
“Mum. It’s really hard to be born from a maja egg…”
I know this is all a dream, but it was quite fun to look around the rooms one by one. For example, is it similar to checking an album or video, but more vivid?
“Yeah, I did this too.”
For your reference, as a result of Velvet’s multiple checks, the shape of the door was related to memory. The similar door in the kitchen is a memory saved when learning cake from Sumire, and the door made of antique wood is a memory tested in Eita.
Of course, the door with the killer whale is the memory of the orca.
“Orkya…”
Velvet, who had a sullen expression in an instant, carefully opened the door.
“Doesn’t the orca want to see the killer whale friends?”
“I am a killer whale doll. If you have to ask, it’s more like a doll than a killer whale! Real killer whales look cute, but they are vicious hunters. They eat the shark’s liver!”
“Hoek-”
Orca had the intelligence of a 7 to 10 year old, but was surprisingly well-informed. There were many cases where Velvet, who read books all day, had knowledge that she did not know.
“What is the big… small master’s soul?”
“…Well, life is short.”
“Little Master! Then what is life?”
“Kyahang! What is life! Eating the cake made by Sumire’s mom and being happy!”
Of course, Orca liked the difficult philosophical books that did not match the appearance, so there were many times when Velvet talked about words that were difficult to understand.
“What is existence? Where is the soul of the existence of me carrying toys around!? Or do souls even exist?”
Orca, who has lived as a toy king for quite a long time, was a toy that suffered. Orca was the only killer whale doll anywhere in the world.
“Is it a reaction of the body that the little master is happy to eat the cake? Or maybe a soul!”
“Right. Right. I drank the cake.”
However, the time spent with Orca is all in the past.
“Little Master, where are you going to use these stones after you pick them up?”
“I’m going to make a lot of money!”
“If you make a lot of money, where will you spend it?”
“Velvet gets comfortable when he earns money and spends it…”
“Is it also a dragon’s instinct rather than reason or greed… is it a primitive approach?”
“that’s right. Something like that.”
“Then I will help! I like it when the little master is happy.”
Of course, at the last moment Orca was delighted. It was the last thing to save the owner, not abandoned by the owner, so it was the best merchant as a toy.
But to Velvet, Orca was not just a toy, but a friend.
Gentlely,
Velvet, who had happily peeked at the memories while looking for doors with killer whales painted on them, stopped in her seat.
Was it because he realized the reality that he might not be able to see Orca anymore?
“Orkya…”
At that moment, as Velvet muttered weakly, a mysterious door appeared in the hallway of dreams as if a portal had opened.
“Kya Kya Hang?”
The hallway of dreams only reconfirms organized memories, so there is no way that a new room will be created for the sleeping Velvet.
So it was correct to see this as ‘hidden’ until now, not as a new thing.
Often-
Leaping like a sparrow, Velvet looked around the door. If the doors that Velvet had opened so far looked like ordinary visits, the door that just appeared was like a well-kept flower bed, with a lot of flowers blooming on top of green leaves. Curious, Velvet poked her head out the door.
What Velvet sees is a flower garden decorated with colorful flowers and a green forest with grass that makes it easy to lie down.
“Where is this… Don’t even use velvet!”
There was something else special about this room.
All the ‘memory rooms’ that have been opened so far recall what happened in the past, so Velvet was waiting for them.
But there was no velvet here.
Waiting on the cozy-looking green lawn is a red-haired beauty with horns like velvet.
“hi?”
The red-haired woman grinned and smiled, but Velvet’s eyes were full of doubts, whether she remembered Sumire’s words to be careful of strangers or what happened to Shin Ha-yoon.
“It has horns like velvet…”
The red-haired woman, on the other hand, looked closely at the velvet to see if it was strange.
“Hmm, a mischievous person seems to resemble me… and also resembles Taru…”
“Kyamm, who are you?”
As Velvet seldom lifted her suspicions, the red-haired woman pointed to her horns and laughed.
“Looking at the horns and red hair similar to yours… isn’t it the same red dragon?”
“Is the gasp velvet a red dragon? I guess it’s just a dragon.”
“What~ It doesn’t matter? Because that doesn’t matter.”
It wasn’t long before Shin Ha-yoon had been beaten up, but Velvet slowly dispelled her doubts at the opponent’s attitude. Looking at things like this, even a dragon, Velvet was a helpless child.
“Anyway, velvet. is that a cute name? Could it have been built by Tarrou?”
“no. Velvet doesn’t know anyone like that. Velvet’s name was given by Sumire’s mother!”
The red-haired woman was startled by the title Sumire ‘Mom’, but soon calmed down.
“I see…”
There was only one reason why he could be so calm. To dragons, human life is short and intense. Shin Yoo-seong would support her new life if it was the Taru she was looking for, and she could be satisfied even if it wasn’t the Taru she knew.
It was because he had obtained the rest he longed for and was saved.
“Oh, but who are you? It’s someone Velvet doesn’t know.”
“me? Um… does it matter who I am? After all, my story is over. More important than that, isn’t it why I came here?”
However, Velvet was not satisfied with the red-haired woman’s plain reply.
“I still need to know the name!”
In the end, the red-haired woman sighed as if she had lost. He wouldn’t have had to resemble himself to this point.
“…Sardonyx. My name is Sardonyx. Isn’t that a very unusual name?”
Upon hearing the other person’s name, Velvet loosened her arms.
“I am Velvet!”
“I know that.”
“I still have to introduce myself! Velvet knows that self-introduction is very important.”
As with all dragons, Sardonyx has been a greedy dragon since he was young when he was Hetzling, and he couldn’t afford gold coins.
He also liked adventure, so he sneaked out of Rare and went to the human world.
“Huh, that’s right.”
Seeing that the free-spirited dragon hatchling was raised so politely, Sardonyx seemed to be able to let go of his worries.
“velvet. Do you know why I came here?”
Shaking my head.
As Velvet shook her head, Sardonyx lowered her stance and squatted down to meet Velvet’s gaze.
“I am no longer in this world. So I decided to show up when you need the most help.”
“Ugh…Velvet needs help!”
“Tell me anything. velvet. I’ll do whatever you want
The moment Sardonyx disappeared, he left a part of his consciousness in the Velvet Egg. In addition, a large amount of mana was hung in the sealed circle to help in a dangerous moment.
It was a spell made by the Red Dragon Lord before he died. What could not be achieved with that power?
“Velvet’s friend lives… let’s live…”
However, what Velvet asked for was too much to ask.
“Um… sorry. No matter how much I am, I can’t bring the dead back to life.”
“Orcas are friends, but people are not! An orca is a doll of a killer whale.”
However, the more they talked, the more the story got sucked into the labyrinth. So, the doll is dead, so is it a story about asking for help? Then, is the doll called Orca referring to a golem with a self?
“So you’re saying that the doll with a self was destroyed… and you want to bring it back to life?”
“Uh huh! that’s right!”
“It would be a problem if the consciousness contained in the golem was really volatilized. As long as the memories are properly stored in the catalyst, recovery is not difficult.”
No matter how genius Velvet was, she couldn’t understand the Dragon Lord’s knowledge. The important thing for Velvet right now is that Orca can be saved.
“Can you explain in detail the circumstances leading up to the destruction of that orca golem?”
Velvet’s eyes widened.
To Sardonyx’s question to resurrect Orca, he answered all the information he knew wholeheartedly.
“Kyahang! So ride-! Attack the velvet!”
“Hmm…”
“And then give me mana! Do it!”
“Aiming for Hetzling’s mana… It’s a classic method.”
“That’s why Orca doesn’t treat me well! Move!”
“Be possessed by things. It’s a special ability I’ve never seen before.”
“That’s why the velvet is spinning…”
“Orca was a very loyal golem. I understand your sadness.”
To solve this, knowledge alone is not enough. From ‘soul’ to ‘golemology’, he had to learn extensively, including necromancy and summoning. Fortunately, Sardonyx is not picky about knowledge.
“I know how. If you find that piece of glass, you might be able to bring your friend Velvet back to life.”
It was that the dragon excelled in all studies.
