Dream Travel

Chapter 461 That's Not Important
“You underestimate this thing. With it, you can be completely free from the effects of the defense agreement and also receive special protection within the territory of the Maple Crown Republic.”

"...Protection? If I encounter something I can't handle myself, what's the point of such protection?"

"But this is a matter of national attitude. With such an attitude, do you think people of status would easily cause you trouble?"

Lily's words made Bai Mu understand: "That makes sense. I'll keep this safe and finish what I need to do first!"

Bai Mu had to go to several different dreams. First, there was the dream of Alexei. After arriving there, since there weren't many familiar faces, Bai Mu immediately started clearing out the other side.

They can eliminate those dangerous species that need to be addressed with extremely high efficiency.

As before, the head of the logistics department there simply handed the prepared cargo boxes to Bai Mu.

Regarding the uncertainty surrounding the arrival of the White Curtain, the other party has already accepted the status quo. Unstable is unstable, as long as the White Curtain can arrive.

After all, he wasn't a member of the processing bureau, and he wouldn't follow the bureau's rules completely.

As long as I can bring back what I've accumulated, that's fine.

In this strange dream, Bai Mu obtained 26 Dream Erosion Crystals when he left. He was certain that if he didn't bring out many things, he would have more Dream Erosion Crystals.

Just like in the next Dream of the Otherworld, White Curtain simply caught up with Marius, wandered around for a bit, shared some space knowledge with the locals of the Dream of the Otherworld, and then returned.

The tasks were far fewer than fighting monsters, but this time I obtained 28 Dream Erosion Crystals.

After going to Yuri and Chito's dream world, he didn't do anything and left normally, but he still got 7 Dream Erosion Crystals.

Clearly, his own entry into different dreams has already brought out a large amount of 'dream erosion'.

All these alternate dreams combined didn't take up too much of Bai Mu's time; the one he truly invested time in was River's alternate dream.

When Bai Mu entered the alternate dream through the alternate dream source, Rui Fu, he saw Rui Fu's grown-up appearance.

Time passes several times faster in the dream world than in reality, and the little girl has grown into a young woman.

White Curtain came with Evefeya. Evefeya had persuaded Teresa, so she specifically asked White Curtain to come and help.

As for the corresponding items, White Curtain doesn't need to prepare them; Evefeya has already prepared them. White Curtain only needs to help with the 'transportation'.

Everea was able to persuade Denise through her own abilities, and White Curtain couldn't interfere much. However, considering that River might lose a particularly strong bodyguard, White Curtain planned to leave River something.

"Brother Bai Mu, is there anything special about this?" River looked curiously at the thing Bai Mu had given her.

Although it was just a small earring, Bai Mu's attitude towards it was completely different from when he gave her other gifts.

"This is a meteorite; it can summon meteorites."

Rivera looked surprised: "It's...magic?"

"No, but you could also think of it that way. However, this summoning consumes a lot of the user's energy. If you want to use it well, you need to become stronger."

The meteorite earrings only have one-third the effect of the full Dream Erosion effect, and they don't have the extended effect after sublimation; they only have the enhancement after sublimation.

Correspondingly, consumption has also decreased to less than one-third.

While the summoned meteorites no longer have such a high limit, they are more flexible to use. With this thing's assistance, a Dream Source like River can truly become a 'Grand Magister' as long as she is at the starting point.

"Brother Bai Mu, are you not planning to come back often in the future?"

Rivers asked White Curtain somewhat uneasily.

"Of course not, I'll come back whenever I have time," Bai Mu said with a smile.

Rivers nodded gently; she was no longer that autistic girl who knew nothing.

Over the years, she has learned a lot and realized the special nature of the white curtain.

"You should keep this as your little secret," White Curtain reminded River.

Rivera nodded vigorously, then asked with some anticipation, "Could we find a place to try this thing out?"

"can."

Bai Mu led River to a secluded spot, still within River's starting area.

A meteorite fell from the sky. This meteorite was not large, but it was more powerful than the one that Mine had summoned with meteorite iron before.

Moreover, River doesn't seem to have consumed much energy, probably due to the bonus from the Dream Source at the starting point.

Bai Mu looked at the spot where the meteorite hit; its power was equivalent to that of an artillery shell.

"How's the consumption?"

"I didn't feel much exertion; I didn't use my full strength." Rivers was eager to try.

What Bai Mu gave her was amazing!
Soon, another meteorite fell, several times more powerful than the previous one.

But that's the limit of what River can achieve; the biggest factor affecting the power of a meteorite is the user.

Because there is a limit to the consumption of 'Starfall'.

As for how it was determined, after River used the earring, White Curtain also took it and used it.

He used only the minimum resources to summon, yet the power of the meteor far exceeded that of River's summon.

However, the consumption remains fixed, at around 5%.

"Brother Bai Mu, you're amazing!" Rivera looked at Bai Mu with bright eyes.

Bai Mu returned the 'Meteor Shower': "If you want the meteorite to be more powerful, improve yourself."

“I will.” Rivers clutched the meteorite earring tightly.

This thing is the biggest security guarantee that Bai Mu gave her.

The summoned meteor strike, in this world and this era, would be considered a dimensional invasion. As they returned, several greatsword warriors emerged from the forest: "What are you doing? Something fell from the sky?"

Enili stared at the white curtain. Rivers was still young, and some abnormal things had happened, which were inextricably linked to the white curtain.

“It’s a meteorite.” Bai Mu tossed a stone in his hand.

"Meteorite... what is that?" a greatsword warrior asked, puzzled.

"Just think of it as a star falling from the sky," Bai Mu tossed the meteorite to the other person.

The meteorites were summoned by the Dream-Eroded Meteorite, but these meteorites are physical entities, not things that disappear after being struck.

As for why it's a physical entity... Bai Mu didn't understand the Dream Erosion effect, and he didn't intend to interfere.

"Stars from the sky?" The greatsword warrior, who had frantically caught the meteorite, looked astonished. "Can stars really fall down like that?"

"Anything is possible. A small fall like this is nothing, but if it were bigger, everyone would die."

“It sounds hard to believe.” Ineli’s gaze lingered for a moment on River’s earlobe.

What Bai Mu said seemed like a fantasy, but the abnormality just now was definitely related to Bai Mu.

However, Ineli didn't ask any further questions, just looking at the silent River.

"If you live for more than a thousand years, you will still have the opportunity to verify what I have said for yourselves."

"That's too long, let's go back first." Inili didn't want to think about what was supposed to happen a thousand years later.

They don't even know what will happen a hundred years from now.

Moreover, the city of Luoguduo is changing too fast. Although it is no longer changing every day compared to a few months ago and the development speed has slowed down, the progress is still very obvious.

The knowledge brought by 'ministers who brought ruin to their country' is too much.

There are many disciplines categorized by knowledge, and many Claymore trainees have participated in learning them, something they couldn't have imagined before.

In this underdeveloped island, unless one's family has the means, even literacy is a problem, let alone more advanced knowledge.

"Time is running out, I have to go." After returning to Luoguduo City, Bai Mu said to Ruifu.

"I'll wait for you to come back." Although River was reluctant to part with Bai Mu, she didn't try to persuade him to stay.

She is no longer the autistic child who was once very dependent on others.

"He's mysterious, but he's very good to you."

After Bai Mu left, Ineli's voice rang out in River's room, and River, who was absentminded, hummed in response.

"Bai Mu and I are like people from different worlds, but that doesn't matter."

The important thing is what Inellie said: White Curtain treats her very well.

Although Bai Mu would only return once in a long while due to various reasons, his concern for her never diminished.

"I'm going to exercise now." River waved her little fist. "I need to get used to the new things Sister Evereya brought back for me this time."

Evefeya...

Ineli's eyes closed slightly, and the greatsword warriors were grateful to the doctor.

After eliminating the threat to the greatsword warriors and completing these tasks, Evefeya left.

When Evelyn returned, she brought something new to River, but also took Teresa with her.

Everea persuaded Teresa.

"Are you the only one who's good at this, and you're neglecting Claire?" White Curtain asked Teresa in the forest.

"Claire will also be leaving later, but I need to make sure that her future place of residence is good enough."

Denise said with a smile that Everea had persuaded her, and once she made up her mind, she took action with great determination.

"Alright, let's begin."

The White Curtain summoned Atreus, and the alchemist, after learning what the White Curtain was about to do, glanced at Everea.

Actually, she also wanted to try out Denise's body.

If Rafael's greatsword body can be trained into a very strong 'demon', then Teresa's even more excellent greatsword must be able to be trained into an even stronger one, right?

Unfortunately, Evefeya beat them to it.

Beatrice was already quite skilled at the technique of separating souls.

This step was easily completed as long as Denise did not object.

Then Everea put her body into a pre-prepared box, and the soul stone she had prepared and the box would be taken back by White Curtain.

The logistics department here doesn't have much to send back.

Their initial plans are not yet complete. The city of Rogudo has developed, but the island has not.

Once the system is developed, the next step is to train personnel to contact the war-torn continent and acquire its technology and resources.

That will be the time for the logistics department to step up its efforts.

Therefore, there isn't much to bring back from the White Curtain this time, but the flow of time in the alternate dream is different from that in reality.

In reality, within three to five years, the Bureau of Processing in the Otherworld will be able to extend its reach to the war-torn continent.
