Chapter 200 The Role of Ink

There was a hint of severity in Mir's voice. As a personal maid, and a personal maid serving the family's children, her status was the highest among all the servants, so she naturally discovered the problem with this maid.

Although Lucian did not look back at this time, he secretly pricked up his ears, looking forward to how this maid who was suspected to be a player would resolve this crisis.

After all, according to the rules of Lula's family, if an ordinary maid is instructed by others to mistakenly enter an important place, she will be punished to a certain extent. If she breaks in without permission, she will be severely punished and may even be hanged.

However, even the most common punishment is very painful for a low-level maid, who will at least be sent to the confinement room for a week to a month. If the maid is a "player", the cost of this "confinement" punishment will be infinitely increased.

“You and the lady didn’t see me come in. You’ve never seen me…” Just as Lucian was expecting something, he suddenly felt a peculiar mental fluctuation. It seemed that some special power began to interfere with him, urging him to look in the direction of the maid and look into her eyes.

"It's some kind of training system that I don't know about. It looks somewhat similar to the strength of a third-level wizard apprentice." Lucian quickly came up with an answer in his mind, but he still "obediently" cooperated with the hypnosis of this "player" and turned around with the maid Mir beside him. Under Lucian's deliberate control, [Lula]'s eyes gradually became lost.

"Huh? There's a golden light emanating from his hand... No, not his hand, but the drop of liquid in his hand. Is this the special ink that Sanasis mentioned? Well, unfortunately, this ink seems to be consumable. He just used it once, and the golden light contained in the ink disappeared."

Lucian was observing in his mind. This "player" was not very strong, so he was not worried that his disguise would be seen through by the other party. Instead, he quietly observed the player's movements with interest. Combined with the drop of golden ink just now, Lucian also had a rough guess about the role of the ink.

This is a special item that can be used to "offset some rules"! Just like just now, this maid attacked me and the maid Mir, which obviously violated the first rule of the real land. However, with the offset of that drop of special golden ink, this "player" did not suffer the backlash of the rules.

However, judging from the fact that the maid only hypnotized them initially and erased some of their memories, the rules that ink can offset are limited, or in other words, the rules that a drop of ink can change are limited. This also makes it impossible for the maid to use "long-term control" to make herself or Mir assist her work...

Lucian was watching quietly, but the next moment, he was pulled away by Mir, who was standing beside him, with a blank look on his face. "Miss, we are going to the back garden to see the tulips. The tulips there are very beautiful..."

“I don’t want to look at the flowers. I want to see what she is doing in the study…” Lucian wailed in his heart. However, the role he was “playing” at this moment was “a five-year-old girl under hypnosis”. Therefore, he could only suppress his reluctance and walked towards the door in small steps. At the same time, he had to cooperate with the “hypnosis” effect and say some words that matched his current state.

But before leaving, Lucian quietly released his mental power thread and left a very inconspicuous mental mark on the maid's sleeve.

This player who plays the role of "maid" may understand the rules of dreams better than himself. Lucian feels that it may be more beneficial for him to keep this player for a while longer.

……

night.

"Good night, miss."

Lucian lay on the bed, closing his eyes as a series of thoughts flashed through his mind.

Among the dozens of people I have come into contact with today, the only one who is confirmed to be a "player" is one person, and there are two others who are "suspected" to be players.

One of them was Deman, the groom of Lula's father, and the other was a knight of the family. However, due to his limited status, Lucian did not know the latter, and he did not have the opportunity to observe him closely.

But now it is night, and according to the rules of dreams, I and other players will be able to temporarily "take off" their masks, and perhaps something very interesting will happen.

Thinking of this, Lucian felt an inexplicable expectation in his heart, but he also understood that the night was definitely the hardest hit area for the deaths of "players". After all, once they left the role they were playing to take action, if they were "stolen" by others, they would not be able to die with a clear conscience.

"I'd better be careful. Although my 'performance' today should not have revealed any flaws, if I want to leave [Lula] and take some risks, I'd better find a 'stand-in'. Even if I am discovered by others, I will try my best to divert their thoughts to other people..."

Lucian weighed the pros and cons, and when the clock struck twelve, he suddenly felt the dream's suppression of his rules being released at this moment. As long as he wanted, he could now completely break away from the identity of [Lula] and freely use his original body to fight any battle. "Huh... The power of this dream is quite strong." Just as Lucian was checking his body for any abnormalities, the carefree voice of Count Thanasis sounded in his mind.

"Thanasis?"

“Stop talking. This damn place actually managed to detect my perfect disguise…” Count Sanasis’ voice sounded in Lucian’s mind, and it seemed to carry a hint of aggrieved feeling.

"I met another 'player' today, and witnessed him using golden ink..." Time was running out, and Lucian did not have the patience to listen to Count Sanasis's complaints. Instead, he directly stated what he had gained during the day and expressed some of his own guesses.

"Well, that thing can indeed be used in that way, but... it's a waste! What a waste!" Count Sanasis said angrily. He seemed to notice that Lucian was a little confused, and couldn't help but say something.

"Think about it, kid. Why is it called 'ink'? If its function is just to help you pry the rules, then wouldn't it be more appropriate to call it something else?"

Lucian was stunned, as if he had thought of something, but it seemed a little vague and not very real.

"The greatest function of ink is to tamper with the rules when you find the book of rules! Or write them on ordinary paper and make them a consumable law." The voice of Count Sanasis echoed in Lucian's mind, making his body slightly stiff and a little dazed.

Tampering with the rules?

Lucian's breathing quickened. In the dream world, rules were more important than one's own strength. If he found the book of rules and wrote on it that all other "players" except Lucian Kevin would die suddenly, then wouldn't he be safe?

“Boy, I appreciate your idea, but the amount of ink required to write a decree like that is extremely huge. You may not even be able to find so much ink in the entire dream space.” Count Sanasis noticed the thoughts in Lucian’s mind and couldn’t help but snorted twice.

"For you, the greatest use of this ink is to write some consumable rules. For example, it can prevent you from being harmed for one minute, or all supernatural powers will be ineffective within 10 seconds, or it can allow you to gain power from the future within 30 seconds..."

"This kind of decree written in ink can also be used during the day. It will definitely not do you any harm to collect and accumulate more." Count Sanasis said seriously.

Lucian's mood also calmed down a little. After taking a deep breath, he made up his mind and began to use the rules of the dream world to separate himself from [Lula].

Wow—when the two bodies were completely separated, Lucian suddenly felt that something seemed to be left in Lula's body, which made him feel a little creepy. At the same time, he also understood the connection between himself and Lula.

However, Lucian also understood that he could not give up exploration just because of the danger, so all he could do was to remain cautious enough during the adventure.

"Oh, right, Sanasis..." Lucian suddenly thought of something, and called out to Count Sanasis. "You said... as my pet, do you represent my identity in some ways, and can you control [Lura] to carry out some activities?"

Lucian's idea was very simple, which was to use Count Sanasis to temporarily control [Lula] for himself. In this way, as long as his own body and Lula had a relatively independent relationship, he would be able to cause certain confusion and interference to other "players".

“Of course you can, but my mind will be greatly suppressed in dreams, so the time I am awake every day is very limited…” Count Sanasis also understood what Lucian meant, and immediately smiled and said that he would be able to play the role of a good girl who was “sleeping soundly” when Lucian left.

After hearing Count Sanasis's assurance, Lucian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He placed Count Sanasis's plush ball next to Lula, and then used the shadow stealth magic to quietly leave Lula's room.

"From what I can sense, there are quite a few active 'players' within the family." Soon, Lucian's face became a little solemn, because through his mental tentacles, he could keenly sense the supernatural fluctuations around him, and most of the pressure from these fluctuations was actually at the level of formal wizards. There was even a more obscure fluctuation of aura, and that aura even surpassed the Gray Bone Wizard that Lucian knew.

"Haha, there really are so many talented people here!" Lucian couldn't help but rub his nose, and his subsequent movements became more restrained, trying to avoid making any loud noise.
