This wizard only wants to take students.

Chapter 264 Dream Practice
"The rules have changed again?" Hercules opened his eyes, and there was a faint flash of data in his blue eyes.

As a mechanical wizard, with the help of those mechanical transformation parts, he has a very high sensitivity to things like data and rules.

So the first moment the dream rules changed, he noticed something unusual and subconsciously thought of Lucian. However, he did not personally participate in the incident, so he seemed a little anxious throughout the night.

After Hercules realized that the rules had changed and the props could be used again, he subconsciously took out the communication cube and wanted to find out the truth through Lucian.

However, after sending out five consecutive inquiry messages without receiving any response, Hercules had no choice but to put down the communication cube.

"The oath that Lucian and I signed before has not dissipated, which means that he is still alive. The problem should not be completely resolved yet. However, judging from the changes in the dream rules, Lucian should be doing a good job."

The corners of Hercules' mouth curled up, and his originally tense and serious sitting posture became a little more relaxed. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and leaned back on the chair.

"Perhaps, I will soon be completely free from this damn reincarnation dream role-playing game..." Hercules breathed a sigh of relief, but his small movements of looking at the communication cube from time to time still exposed his inner anxiety and expectation.

It was not until dawn that Hercules put away the communication cube, but when he stood up, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the royal capital.

"Sister Roland!"

Just at this time, Rafar's voice was heard outside the tent, which was slightly different from his usual nonchalant voice. Although Rafar tried hard to remain calm this time, Hercules, who paid special attention to him, naturally noticed the abnormality in Rafar's voice.

"What's the matter? Come in first." Hercules turned his head, with a hint of displeasure in his voice, as if he had just been woken up from a nap.

Rafar did not doubt it. After all, he was very familiar with some of Roland's habits. Although he was a little anxious, he still showed his standard silly smile after getting into the tent, "Sorry, Sister Roland, to bother you..."

"If you have something to say, let's talk about it. We are on a mission now. Also, during the mission, it is best to call me Captain or Captain Roland." Hercules had a stern face, but he sneered in his heart.

After all, the more abnormal Rafar's behavior was, the more it showed that his current situation was very bad. And the reason why his situation became worse was probably because there was a serious problem with the god behind him!
"Haha... So now he's desperate?" Hercules sneered in his heart, but he had no intention of breaking up with Rafar for the time being. After all, this Chaos Goblin had been able to play the role of Rafar for so long, and he probably still had a lot of cards up his sleeve. He didn't want to become the target of this guy's desperate move when he was about to succeed.

"I seem to have found the secret about the two demon nests!" Seeing that Hercules seemed to be uninterested in what he said, Rafar gritted his teeth and did not bother to be euphemistic or make other preparations. Instead, he took a certain risk and directly stated the information.

After all, in his opinion, "Roland" had been tested once before and was relatively safe, so in this emergency situation, it became the pawn that Rafar wanted to seek help and use.

"I'm sorry, Rafar. I will ask someone else to verify this matter. After all, you are still under 'custody'. Although I have temporarily suppressed the punishment of the Knights against you, according to the rules, I can no longer let you lead the team out."

After listening to Rafar's story, Hercules shook his head in embarrassment.

"Damn it! Damn it!" Rafar felt aggrieved and angry, but he looked at Hercules and did not immediately take more extreme measures.

After all, his current situation is not good. Having lost the cover of the goblin priest Abu, his activities under the identity of Rafar will be hostile and targeted by the dream rules. It can even be said that the rules are always waiting for him to make mistakes so that this "bug" can be corrected in time.

Although Rafar still has items and means that can influence the rules, every time he uses one of those things, he will have one less. In this case, he is unwilling to waste them for such a small thing before getting close to the "target"!
"Is that so...Okay, okay, Sister Roland, I'll listen to you." Rafar laughed dryly and gritted his teeth to suppress the grievance and resentment in his heart.

……

“It’s finally over.” Sitting in the returning carriage, Lucian let out a sigh of relief, his expression a lot more relaxed.

“Two-legged hairy monster, now I can use the rules inside the stone slab to take you away from here at any time…” Count Sanasis’ voice sounded in Lucian’s spiritual core with a hint of frivolity.

"Sanasis, don't worry. I am very interested in some of the [Talents] in this dream world. Since I can leave at any time, I want to study more here. By the way, Sanasis, since you can take me away, can you help me to move freely without my current identity for a certain period of time?"

“Level 2 hairy monster, do you think I’m a wishing lamp?” The unpleasant voice of Count Thanasis sounded in Lucian’s mind.

"To help you escape this dream world, I only need to pry open a little rule power. But if I want you to exist independently without the rule power, it is equivalent to tampering with the rules of the entire dream world. Even that Chaos lackey would find it difficult to do such a thing. Do you think I am the kind of idiot who would endure hardship without any hardship?"

Lucian chuckled. He had just had such an idea. After all, the talents awakened by the awakened ones in this world were essentially special spell patterns. With a little research, they could be transformed into special witchcraft models.

Talents like [Mind Reading] and the Bishop's detection talents are very unique in some aspects and have extremely high value, which is of great value to Lucian.

To put it bluntly, Lucian just covets the bodies of these awakened ones.

Unfortunately, the spell patterns formed by these talents are very special. If the awakened person cannot be completely controlled, there is no way to record the talent patterns imprinted in their minds.

“No, forget it.” Lucian shrugged. “I’m very interested in the benefit you mentioned earlier. I plan to digest it and then become a second-level wizard here.”

"Then I want to take this opportunity to do some more 'hunting'. After all, I don't know where to find other places that can harmlessly improve my strength next time."

Lucian leaned his head back in his chair and closed his eyes in a relaxed manner.

……

“Two-legged hairy monster, close your eyes, and then... have a sweet dream according to your wishes.” The voice of Count Sanasis sounded in Lucian’s spiritual core.

"How long will the dream last?" Lucian asked cautiously. He didn't want to make any mistakes for the sake of benefits, such as letting his consciousness and the identity of [Lula] fall into a deep sleep for several days.

“I don’t know.” Count Sanasis chuckled. “The length of the dream depends on you, but the time you sleep is... about fifteen minutes.”

“Variable length? Fifteen minutes?” Lucian blinked.

"This is a dream. Here, time can be stretched or contracted, and space can be distorted." Count Sanasis sighed softly, with a hint of reminiscence in his voice.

"The power of dreams is so wonderful. Sometimes, even the real power seems so powerless in front of dreams. It should be able to go a step further..." Count Sanasis seemed to notice Lucian's confusion, but he did not say much. Instead, he closed his mouth and released a stream of air from his body that was somewhat similar to the distorted rules, but in a beautiful pink and purple color.

This airflow with special rules gradually submerged Lucian's spiritual core, just like the [Moonlight Tribute] he had taken when he was an apprentice. After just a moment of trance, Lucian's consciousness was pulled into another dark space.

“Is this... me?” Lucian quickly regained the perception of his body, but now he was more like feeling a familiar yet unfamiliar self at close range.

boom--

The next moment, "Lucian" began to become more obvious, and his mental aura gradually changed from that of an ordinary person to that of a first-level wizard apprentice. Then, with the help of meditation, Lucian's mental power began to transform rapidly and began to improve at an extremely fast speed.

"This new meditation method doesn't seem to be the Gray Bone Meditation Method, but it's not the Star Meditation Method either. Instead, it combines the advantages of these two meditation methods, and even combines some of the body-refining wizard's cultivation methods, some of the techniques of the fairy bloodline cultivation methods, and some of the methods of mobilizing the aura of dreams to form a new meditation method?"

Although he was in a meditative state, Lucian's consciousness was very active. He was able to memorize and think quickly while clearly perceiving the meditation process.

However, in comparison, the effect of this meditation method in the apprentice stage is not much different from the Gray Bone Meditation Method after two system upgrades. At most, in terms of the efficiency of practice, this new meditation method seems to be simpler.

When Lucian's aura reached the level of a third-level wizard apprentice, blurry opponents began to appear inside this dark space.

The faces of these opponents could not be seen clearly, only their rough outlines. Most of them were in human form, and some of them were in special forms, such as rock giants, cubes, or beasts.

“Fight.” Lucian almost subconsciously began to fight with these opponents. Even during the fight, his body did not stop meditating and improving.

puff--

The moon blade spun rapidly, drawing a beautiful curve and beheading a black shadow with a beast's tail.

Lightning burst out, shocking a short black shadow with a head as wide as his body, causing it to shatter.

Countless vines spread out, entangled a black figure whose arms had transformed into wings, and tore him apart...

Lucian's mental and magical powers seemed to be as inexhaustible as those of these enemies. Soon he forgot why he was fighting, why he was meditating, and why he was here. Instead, he tried his best to kill all the enemies in front of him.

At the beginning, he still cast some of his usual witchcraft, but as the battle continued and Lucian continued to "die" and "resurrect", his fighting skills became more and more proficient, and the witchcraft he cast gradually changed.

boom--

While slitting the throat of an enemy, Lucian's aura suddenly rose and he was promoted to the level of a first-level wizard.

And the moment he was promoted, the aura of the enemies in front of him suddenly surged.

……

“I don’t know how far this kid can go in his dream.” Inside Lucian’s spiritual core, Count Sanasis swam in a pink and purple ocean with a lazy expression, and muttered softly.

Then, he struggled to get out of Lucian's spiritual core and came to the outside world.

After climbing onto a table with some effort, Count Sanasis raised his head and looked at the scene outside. The huge single eye inside his body seemed somewhat dark and deep.

"Dream world, my hometown..."

Count Sanasis's voice, which sounded like a whisper and a sigh, echoed in the air.

A slight vibration passed through the inner layer of the dream.

A group of dream insects that were originally shaking their bodies and devouring the power of dreams suddenly stiffened. Then, as if they sensed something, they began to quickly gather in one direction. They even did not retreat or dodge when they encountered a dream creature on the road that was catching dream insects to feed them.

As they continued to gather, small groups of dream bugs gradually began to gather, and in the end, they became an overwhelming tide of dream bugs.

This is like a locust plague. Perhaps a single dream insect is just food, but when millions or even hundreds of millions of dream insects gather together, the dream power formed has reached a level that even dream lords are afraid of.

If it were inside other worlds, perhaps the large gathering of creatures at the bottom of the ecological chain would not be a big deal at all and would not alarm the gods, but inside the dream world, the situation is somewhat different.

Because when the number of these dream bugs reaches a certain size, they vaguely form a whole and invisibly trigger special dream rules.

Under the convergence of these rules, these dream bugs gradually began to "merge" into a giant.

boom--

Just when this huge monster was about to take shape, a special and obscure rule intervened, and several inconspicuous dream bugs exploded into pieces.

The huge monster that was about to take shape and even exuded a terrifying aura suddenly disintegrated at this moment.

Some organizations disintegrated into massive dream bugs, while some already formed parts became higher-level dream creatures.

Even its already formed head grew legs after a while of wriggling, and it evolved into a monster with a huge body, carrying a relatively weak rule. When this monster opened its eyes, the breath of fourth-level dream life emanated from its body.

He looked at the dream bugs that were disintegrating around him, and seemed a little confused about his birth. However, soon, the new dream lord felt several more powerful auras, and it almost reacted instinctively and quickly fled in a relatively safe direction.
