Let's start over, Your Majesty.

Chapter 196 The Quill Pen That Fulfills All Desires

"Serwin?"

Caesar's expression changed slightly; he hadn't expected that the one being controlled by the fantasy was actually his classmate.

Seren was expressionless, her eyes gleaming with purple light, and in her hand she held a pure white quill pen.

After staring into those eerily purple eyes for a few seconds, Caesar was about to speak when Serwyn grinned and raised the quill in his hand.

"Oh, isn't this the erotic novel? It's been so long, I never thought I'd run into you here again."

"Gallery pen, I could smell you from a mile away! How did you manage to escape the previous massive crackdown?"

Serwyn sighed, "Don't even mention it. I almost got caught, and I hid for over fifty years after that. I only dared to come out a month ago when I heard there was no more news."

Not bad, they're being waited on right after they arrived.

"Sigh, this is only good for fooling little girls. It's not like the glory days of the past."

Indeed, you were able to fool even the Grand Master of the Royal Court in the past, otherwise I would have to call you Big Brother.

"Sigh, let's not talk about those things between us."

Caesar watched Serene and the Phantom Sea Scrolls chatting like good buddies, and felt a strange, inexplicable feeling about it.

At this moment, Serwyn looked at Caesar and turned the quill around.

"Hey, the one you found looks pretty good, and he seems to be a sorcerer?"

Serwyn stepped forward and held the quill pen up to Caesar.

The feathers on both sides of the pen tip trembled, seemingly splitting open to form an eye, staring at Caesar.

Caesar remained still and silent, staring blankly ahead, proceeding according to the plan he had previously discussed with the Illusionary Sea Scroll.

"It's alright. I ran into him by chance. This kid is the eldest son of a large family, and he's been trained to be a sorcerer at such a young age."

"That's incredibly lucky! You're sure to be favored this time, right?"

Sigh, let's not talk about these things now.

The text displayed on the cover of the Phantom Sea Scroll was faster than ever before, as if it were in a great hurry.

Serwyn raised an eyebrow at it, but didn't say anything: "By the way, come and see the surprise I've prepared. I've been preparing here for half a month, just waiting for this day."

Serwyn waved to them and turned to walk deeper into the woods.

Caesar and the Scroll of the Sea followed behind.

He glanced silently at the Illusionary Sea Book beside him. The intense gaze that focused on it made the book tremble twice, barely managing to maintain its composure.

From their conversation just now, it seems that there's something this book hasn't told me yet.

The Illusionary Scroll had already told him that these objects, born from the corruption of abnormal magic, did not possess souls. Without souls, they could not connect with the spirit world, and naturally, most spells and rituals could not be completed. Therefore, they needed to use various means to make sentient beings serve them. But what exactly was the "favor" that the Illusionary Customization had mentioned? It had never told him, still keeping it from him.

We'll have to settle accounts with them later.

Caesar narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Serwyn's retreating figure.

He hadn't paid much attention to this girl in class, only knowing that her brother had a bad temper, and now she was being controlled by the containment object.
"Wait, wasn't she just in the classroom with her family?"

Caesar recalled that he had just seen the Serwyn family of four in the Great Hall, and there was nothing unusual about them at the time. How did Serwyn suddenly appear here?
Are the Blanty family members in the auditorium now fake?
Following Seren, who was controlled by his fantasy, Caesar encountered all sorts of dreamlike, random, and chaotic food along the way, such as a lion painting and a zebra modeling, a large glass jar with a human face enjoying drinking its own juice through a straw, a guitar with human legs kicking an accordion, and three groundhogs fighting.

"I have to say, this girl is usually quiet, but she has a very rich inner world. No wonder Fantasy Customization approached her."

"But why was she controlled?"

Fantasy customization, also known as "the quill pen that can fulfill all desires," can materialize fantastical things. If you want, you can even materialize an entire mountain of gold.

However, there are three basic rules for creating fantasy.

First, fantasy objects are based on the creator's own spiritual world and cannot represent things that the creator has never seen.

Secondly, it is impossible to materialize a fantasy object that far exceeds the power of the creator. In other words, even if an ordinary person has seen what a great hero-level sorcerer looks like, they will be unable to materialize it due to the absolute difference in strength.

Third, it is impossible to concretize things that violate the fundamental laws of the world. This is easy to understand. You can create a tree that can dance ballet, but you can never create a perpetual motion machine, which violates the laws of the world.

During the process of materializing a fantasy, it is bound to the creator's mental world and will continuously consume mental energy. Therefore, if the fantasy object does something wrong, it may turn the creator into an idiot.

Another very important point is that if the materialized fantasy object is destroyed, then the creator's mental world will forever lose the memory of that fantasy object.

Looking at it this way, it seems to be a treasure that countless people dream of. Obtaining it is equivalent to possessing everything one can imagine. With just a stroke of the pen, all the beauty will flow out.

If you think that way, you'll fall into a trap.

The most dangerous thing about the Fantasy Custom is that, like all contained objects, it possesses intelligence, which means it can never be used at will.

The Book of Illusions had told him that this pen was more dangerous than the book itself, because it could not use itself. That's why it kept seducing humans, using its ability to satisfy all desires to tempt them, and finally harvesting them into its slaves, completely controlling them like a parasite to satisfy its own desires.

Just like Serwyn is now.

Never trust anything that can think independently unless you can uncover its hidden tail.

He led them to an open space where a large area was covered in a chaotic mix of colors. Caesar hesitated for a moment before stepping onto the almost flat grass, but it didn't seem to have much of an effect on him; his body wasn't affected by the colors.

"Look at this! This is the amazing gift I've prepared for these humans!"

Serwyn stood before Caesar and the Scroll of the Sea, raised his quill, and shouted excitedly.

Behind her, a huge, pure black, egg-shaped body was slowly pulsating.
