Lord of Hyranza

Just when Suldak rushed in front of Mrs. Grenfell, she suddenly took out a magic scroll from her bosom, unfolded it casually, and a hellfire burst out from Suldak's feet. Duck had no choice but to stop, avoiding the hellfire.

The flames of hellfire wiped Suldak's armor and rushed to the roof of the castle hall. When Suldak wanted to chase Mrs. Grenfell again, he got out of the kitchen and was covered in black flames. Hell dogs, these two hell dogs are the size of a calf, they have bloody mouths, a hell dog crosses a black shadow, and a fleshy paw grabs at Sulda gram.

Suldak raised his shield to meet him, and the hellhound's fleshy claws slapped firmly on the dwarf chain shield. Suldak felt as if a heavy hammer had been struck on it, making his entire arm numb from the shock. Three claw marks were scratched on the thick dwarven chain shield by the sharp dog's claws. Suldak's entire body was shortened, and the huge black dog head bit down on Suldak's throat.

The knight's long sword in Suldak's hand pierced one of the blood-red eyes of the hell dog. The hell dog let out a howl, but did not move away. The huge mouth full of hot black flames opened, Suldak had no way to avoid it, and it was too late to retract the dwarf chain shield in his hand, so he could only stab the knight's long sword that had pierced the hellhound's eyes into the head of the hellhound.

Seeing that the hell dog was about to bite Suldak, a double-edged sword slanted down and pierced into the mouth of the hell dog. Through the back of the vicious dog's head, protruding from the back of the vicious dog's neck, the thick lips of the vicious dog almost stuck to Suldak's face, and the hot lava on the vicious dog's body also quickly cooled down.

Suldak was crushed by the hellhound and thought he was dead. Captain Sauron kicked the hellhound aside and stretched out his hand to pull Suldak up from the ground.

Before Captain Soren could speak, a shadow arrow hit Captain Sauron's chest, and several shadow breaths rushed into Captain Sauron's body, and he fell on his back with his hands on his chest.

The wand in Mrs. Grenfell's hand threw out a shadow arrow, but there was a sharp piercing sound outside the castle. A magician flew in from the door riding a magic scorpion. He waved the wand in his hand, A magic barrier appeared in front of Suldak, just blocking the shadow arrow.

It was Lance, the young magician who had quarreled with Karl before. At this moment, he rushed in riding a magic scorpion, and a fireball flew out of the wand in his hand, hitting Mrs. Grenfell on the opposite side. Grenfell The madam had been prepared for a long time, she nimbly dodged behind a stone pillar, and the fireball exploded in front of the sofa, completely igniting the soft leather sofa.

Afterwards, two magicians from the Law Enforcement Group rode into the castle hall on a magic handle, and circled towards Madam Grenfell from the left and right sides. The magic scorpion jumped down, and the bloody mouth bit the magician's throat directly. The magician struggled hard, and his body was slightly tilted, avoiding the vital point, allowing the hell dog to bite on the shoulder. .

Hearing a scream, the magician fell heavily on the floor. The magic scorpion hit the wall of the hall and fell apart, and his shoulder was bitten to blood by the hellhound. The young magician Lance chanted Under the spell, a fireball exploded on the back of the hell dog. The dog ignored the injuries despite its physical injuries. It bit the magician's shoulder firmly and did not let go. A huge dog head shook continuously. A few times, amidst the magician's miserable screams, the hellhound tore off the magician's entire arm.

Another magician had torn a magic scroll, and a bolt of lightning landed on the back of that hellhound. He rushed towards the magician who released the lightning bolt, but was stopped by a barrier released by the young magician Lance.

As the second bolt of lightning fell, the hellhound finally fell to the ground behind the barrier and let out a series of whimpers.

Lance chanted a spell again, and three fireballs exploded next to Mrs. Grenfell's stone pillar. Mrs. Grenfell propped up a shadow shield and dodged the three fireballs by dodging left and right. The fireball was fired, but it was also affected by the explosion. The disheveled look was very embarrassing. The young magician Lance did not intend to give a chance to breathe, and waved his wand one after another, releasing a series of fireballs, forcing Mrs. Grenfell back again and again.

At this time, another magician finally ran to the unlucky magician whose shoulder was bitten to bloody flesh and whose arm was torn off by a vicious dog, took out a bottle of life potion and poured it into the magician's mouth, and repeatedly The magic circle was drawn, and magic fell on the unlucky magician continuously. Afterwards, the magician took out a hemostatic bandage from his arms and began to bandage the wound of the magician. The injury of the unlucky magician was serious, bleeding all over the place.

Suldak checked Captain Sauron's injuries, and saw that he was unconscious, with more than a dozen shadow auras moving in his body, so he let out a trace of holy aura from his palm, and quickly dispelled those shadow auras. The captain's complexion recovered, and his breathing became much more stable. After putting Captain Sauron down, Suldak ran to the injured magician again to help bandage the wound.

Maybe it was because of the life potion, even though the magician lost his arm and bled so much, he didn't die immediately, he was just unconscious.

Seeing that his companion was treated quickly, the magician cast a grateful look and nodded friendlyly at Suldak.

Mrs. Grenfell ran quickly to the castle kitchen, and the young magician Lance immediately chased after him. Mrs. Grenfell took out three magic scrolls from her bosom and tore them apart one after another. Three hellfires shot from under Lance's feet almost simultaneously. Emerging, forcing him to stop the pace of pursuit.

When Lance used magic to disperse the hellfire in front of him, Mrs. Grenfell was nowhere to be seen, and the fallen hellhound also took the opportunity to get up from the ground. Its back was hit by two lightning bolts, and it was burnt. The wound even exposed half of the bone, and it took the opportunity to catch the bodyguard's burnt body and chased after Mrs. Greenfield's disappearance.

The young magician Lance was not willing to give up easily, and quickly chased in the direction where Mrs. Grenfell disappeared with another companion.

Suldak saw the knights of the guard battalion outside the castle and knew that the reinforcements had arrived, so he chased after the young magician Lance.

At this time, several magicians from the Law Enforcement Group walked into the castle hall. One of the elderly magicians walked in first with a staff. Seeing the guard battalion knight fainted on the ground, he frowned and said : "It was caught in the cloud of sleep..."

As he spoke, a middle-aged magician walked up quickly behind him, stood in the center of the hall, and drew a magic pattern circle in the air in front of him with his wand. With a series of incantations, the magician's body trembled There were circles of magic halos, and these magic halos spread, and even Suldak felt much clearer.

Almost at the same time as the magic halo dissipated, the sleeping people in the castle hall woke up one after another.

The old magician noticed that the magician was lying on the ground beside Suldak, and hurried over, he shouted as he walked: "Monty, come and see how Lorenzo is, he seems to be injured It's not easy, what about Lance and the others?"

He walked up to the magician named Lorenzo, knelt down to check his injuries, and when he saw the magician behind him following up, he ordered: "Hurry up and support him, he is not Margaret's opponent. "

A female magician quickly ran to the old magician, quickly chanted the spell, and the rays of hydrotherapy fell on the unlucky magician.

The old magician looked at the messy scene in the castle hall, and glanced at the hellhound with a double-edged sword stuck in its huge mouth beside him. There was such a big surprise.

The magician who cast the 'Awakening Technique' came over, stopped beside Captain Sauron, checked his injuries, and saw that Captain Sauron was not seriously injured, so he cast magic to wake him up.

The old magician looked at Captain Sauron, who was lying on the ground, still a little weak, and asked him with a frown, "Sauron, what happened here to make this place like this..."

Chapter 350 Cooperation

Three hellfires gushed out from the stone floor of the castle corridor, and the hot flames ignited the fence next to the pillars, and the whole corridor was immediately filled with billowing thick smoke. Suldak rushed into the hot castle corridor, and a wave of heat rushed towards his face. Suldak quickly put down his helmet visor, covered his face with the dwarven chain shield in his hand, and rushed into the burning corridor.

The explosion of fireballs was heard from the kitchen not far away, and Suldak rushed into a room following the sound. The blood-stained storage room still had the feeling of passing through a slaughterhouse. There were still traces of burnt fireballs at the entrance of the secret passage, and there was even a scorched flesh of a hellhound left at the dark hole.

Apparently the magicians were fighting here, and they should have wounded the hellhound that stole the body of the bodyguard. Suldak stood at the door of the secret passage, hesitated for a while looking at the dark secret passage, and then he Drilled into a somewhat dark and cold secret passage, this secret passage is very narrow, just enough to accommodate one person to pass through, the main body of the secret passage is a masonry structure, and there is a strong musty smell inside.

The inside of the secret passage is a bit dark, but fortunately, the ground in the secret passage is fairly flat and it is not difficult to walk.

A little light could be seen tens of meters ahead, and under the reflection of the magic twilight, the figures of the two magicians flickered in the twilight. Suldak chased after the young magician Lance. After running for about 500 meters, the exit of the tunnel was in a tree hole in the red pine forest. Surdak ran out of the secret passage, only to feel that something was tripped under his feet. Only the back of the head was bitten open by fangs, and the brain inside was licked clean.

Surdak was taken aback by the skull. When he looked down at the skull under his feet, he realized that there were not only skulls in the tree hole, but also some femur and sternum rib remains in the smelly tree hole. The tree hole looks like a kennel. Apparently the two hellhounds are usually lurking here. The knights of the support group did not find the secret passage hidden in the woods behind the castle. The hellhound didn't even see it, which really made Suldak sigh inwardly.

On the snow in the red pine forest, except for some huge dog paw prints, there are almost no other footprints.

Fortunately, there was the sound of fireballs exploding in front from time to time. Suldak looked towards the top of the mountain, and then looked back at Grenfell Manor at the foot of the hill a few hundred meters away. He saw a large number of knights entering from outside one after another. From the manor, we knew that the reinforcements had arrived in time, and Karl and Captain Sauron should be safe at this moment.

There are also a few magicians riding magic scorpions, flying towards Shandong in this direction.

Several magicians flew over Suldak's head, and the way they flew freely in the air made Suldak very envious.

Grenfell Manor has been completely occupied by the Hailansa Guard Battalion and the Magic Union Law Enforcement Team at this moment. At this time, it probably won't be of much help if they return the same way. Suldak thought to himself, since he has chased so far , then continue to chase and see, so he followed the flying direction of the three magicians in the sky, holding the knight's long sword and chasing down.

A wooden house was built on the top of this dense red pine forest. This wooden house was connected to the mountain behind. When Suldak arrived, the wooden house had been blown apart by a big fireball, exposing the entrance of the cave behind the wooden house. , the hellhound fell at the entrance of the cave.

Beside the hellhound, there is a magician whose thigh has been bitten off. He is lying next to a huge rock. The wound on his broken leg has been bandaged. The magician is slightly closing his eyes, holding back Feeling intense pain, he leaned there without saying a word, his face turned blue in the cold wind, and felt someone approaching, the magician opened his eyes, waiting for him to see that it was a knight from the guard battalion , just nodded politely.

The magician thought that Suldak would follow him into the cave, but unexpectedly Suldak squatted down in front of him, picked up his broken leg from the fallen dog, and carefully Putting it next to the magician, he asked in a concerned tone: "How do you feel? Do you need help?"

The magician shook his head speechlessly, and replied flatly: "I shouldn't be able to die..."

When he spoke, he should also be enduring great pain. Under the gaze of the magician, Suldak stretched out his hand, just above the broken leg of the magician, revealing a faint power of holy light, making The magician's broken leg healed faster.

"This is... Holy Light?" The magician was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped, he looked at Suldak and asked seriously.

Suldak nodded and said to him: "The rescuers will catch up soon. I will go to support the people in front first. You rest here first. Be careful of the hell dogs around here."

The magician nodded, pointed at the entrance of the cave and said, "Margaret fled into the cave. She is a very dangerous and cunning guy. There is still a reward for her in Hailansa City. We After searching for so long, I have not been able to find her hiding place, she is one of the leaders of the Black Magic Retreat in Bena Province, this time we must not let her escape again."

Suldak waved his hand at him, and then chased inside along the cave.

Unexpectedly, the wooden house outside is just to deceive people. This cave is a huge magic experiment base. There is a magic wall lamp every ten meters on the stone wall of the cave. Suldak chases into the cave and finds that the young magician Lance is Fighting against the siege of a group of hell dogs with three magicians, the four magicians were surrounded by the hell dogs by the mountain wall, and the four took turns to cast magic to resist these hell dogs, but they were still beaten by seven or eight hell dogs. It was very embarrassing.

Suldak carried the shield and joined the battle without saying a word. He used the dwarf chain shield to knock away a hellhound that was pounced on him, and he even took a few steps back.

"Be careful, don't be bitten by them..." Lance's voice came from behind Suldak.

A hellhound took the opportunity to rush over and bit Suldak's shoulder. Suldak swung his sword to block, but the hellhound bit the knight's long sword in its mouth. Suldak couldn't draw back the knight. Long sword, hell hounds on both sides came up, Suldak was about to abandon the sword and retreat, only to hear someone shouting from behind: "Low your head!"

Suldak lowered his head subconsciously, and a wind blade flew from behind, hitting the forehead of the hellhound in front of him...

Chapter 351 Shadow Terror

The knight's long sword was pulled out of the hellhound's mouth, and Suldak threw out the dwarf chain shield to gather the hellhound on the left side. Cut the wound more than a foot long.

Three wind blades flew out from the gap between Suldak's body in succession, hitting the hell dogs around Suldak one after another, followed by a fireball blasted from the group of hell dogs, and several hell dogs were hit by the fireball. The blast was bloody and bloody, and the wind blades were also extremely sharp. Almost every wind blade scratched on the hellhound's body was almost as deep as the bone.

This was the first time Suldak felt that the magician was so powerful. He stood in front of these hell dogs, and the four magicians behind him killed the hell dogs one by one. They cooperated very well. Suldak gave the young magicians full trust, so Suldak almost fought between magic skills, with wind blades and fireballs flying by from time to time.

After these hellhounds were injured by the fireball, almost all of them were cut and bruised by the wind blade.

At the back, Suldak even had to rush to the front, make up the wounded hell hounds, and cut off their heads.

In the cave, apart from these calf-like hellhounds, several stone chambers full of stench were found along the way. Almost every stone chamber was piled with some skeletons. It seems that it should be Baron Grenfell. Realizing that the matter had been exposed, he turned more than a hundred robbers into dog food one after another, found several empty stone rooms one after another, and the magician Lance continued to search inside with his companions.

In addition to keeping a group of hell dogs in this cave, there is also a purple-leaved plant planted in the cave. This plant looks like pineapples, but there is a huge mouth in the middle, which looks like a pineapples. A huge flytrap, whenever someone approaches, these magic plants will open their mouths wide, waiting for the prey to approach and swallow them in one bite, but these plants are not very aggressive, and they need to get close to attack people. attack.

Suldak had never seen this kind of plant before. If Lance hadn't reminded him, he might have been bitten by a Ye Meiluo plant on his calf.

There are still some spider webs near the cave wall in front, but the magic spider is not seen.

Suldak walked in the front holding his shield, followed by four magicians.

The young magician Lance followed Suldak, looked at Suldak curiously, and said to him, "Hey, why haven't I seen you in the support squadron before, are you new here?"

Suldak nodded and replied, "Well, I officially joined the guard camp after Karl's recommendation last week."

Lance was stunned, turned his head and reached out to him, and said, "No wonder when I saw you, I felt a little strange... You have done a good job, I owe you once, I believe Karl will know who I am. If so, you can come to the Magic Union Law Enforcement Team to find me anytime!"

Suldak stared at Lance, with panic in his eyes. Lance also realized that something was wrong. At this moment, Suldak kicked over and directly kicked the magician Lance to the ground. At the same time, a sharp stick protruded from the stone wall, rubbing against Lance's arm and piercing through the air.

Suldak took a big step forward, swung the knight's long sword in his hand, and cut off the needle that came from the rock wall, and Suldak stretched out his hand to pull up Lance who was sitting on the ground , seeing his pale face, still in shock, smiled and said, "Okay!"

"Be careful of the crypt spider..." Lance reminded his companions.

Walking into the cave, the sound of chanting magic spells came again from several empty caves. Everyone chased into a spacious cave, and saw several magic experiment tables in the spacious cave, but at the moment these magic However, the test bench was empty. There were still some item display racks behind the test bench, and there were all kinds of weird magic materials on them. Some magic crucibles for experiments were still left on the test bench.

In the middle of the six huge test stands was an open space. A huge magic circle was drawn on the space. Mrs. Grenfell was sitting in the middle of the magic circle wearing a black magic robe inlaid with gold trim. In front of her was the head of the bodyguard. With a charred black corpse, she sat in the center of the magic circle and chanted a spell, while several hell dogs guarded the periphery of the magic circle.

With the end of Mrs. Grenfell's chanting, the magic circle continued to light up with magic lines, and the mana was continuously poured into the magic circle from the six test benches.

When everyone reached the edge of the magic circle, they saw a huge transparent barrier covering Mrs. Greenfield. Lance tried to blast the barrier with a fireball, but the fireball was silently swallowed by the transparent barrier.

At this moment, Mrs. Grenfell suddenly raised her head, and stared at Lance and Suldak with her indifferent eyes. A determined and desolate sneer appeared on her face. It was strange, the lines on the magic circle were full of magic power, and in the center of the magic circle, countless black tadpole runes appeared on Mrs. Grenfell's face and body, and along with the countless black magic threads, Grenfell Mrs. Hall's body, a black flame rose from her feet.

The flame ignited the precious magic robe on her body, and quickly spread all over her body. Her face was distorted in the raging flames, and her body was turned into ashes little by little, before she threw herself on the charred bodyguard lying on the ground , the two corpses overlapped, the steaming flames showed a faint blue color, and the hell dogs around the magic circle were also sucked dry flesh and blood.

Suldak could see clearly from the periphery of the magic circle. In order to activate the magic circle, madam, Grenfell actually sacrificed his life.

Through the magic barrier, Lance saw a dark door with criss-crossed teeth emerging from the black flames in the magic circle, and said with a serious face, "This seems to be some kind of powerful summoning ceremony. I heard that Margaery Te has been researching some kind of powerful dark summoning for several years..."

The magician companion next to him asked, "Should we destroy this magic barrier to prevent her from summoning?"

"...It's too late!" Lance said hoarsely, looking at the door of flesh and blood in the center of the magic circle.

A few wind blades collided with the magic barrier, like a stone thrown into the sea, unable to turn over any waves at all.

The fellow magician next to him asked in amazement, "What is that?"

The magician Lance replied: "It may be some kind of summoning door..." Then he shouted to his companions: "Go to Mr. Gerald quickly, we can't deal with this thing at all! We have to get out of here quickly... "

When Lance said these words, the dog-toothed door was suddenly pushed open by a shadow hand.

Chapter 352 Shadow Terror 2

Through the magic mask, Suldak clearly saw a big purple hand protruding from the door. An eye grew out of the palm of that big hand. The huge eye stared at the cave and looked around for a week, and then he opened it forcefully. The black gate forced a three-meter-long arm out of the gate full of thorns and bone spurs.

A heart-piercing roar came from behind the black door, and a layer of black flames ignited on the huge arm stretched out. This layer of black flames quickly spread to the surroundings, and even Mrs. The black flames, the scorching black flames almost instantly carbonized Mrs. Grenfell, and some embers rushed to the top of the cave, and there was not even a single ashes of her and her bodyguard left in the flames.

A black gate full of bone spurs appeared in the center of the magic circle. The entire gate was burning, and the black fire crackled the gate.

In the midst of such fierce black fire, a shadow terror with extremely distorted limbs crawled out from the door full of teeth, and the terrifying aura emanating from it filled the entire cave.

Seen from a distance, it looks like a tree stump hidden in the shadows. Six arms with eyes growing from the palms are climbing on the black door, pulling a huge body out of the door, and dozens of tentacles penetrate deep into the magic circle. In the stone slab, it is like the rhizome of a big tree that has taken root, and its trunk-like body is covered with more than a dozen large mouths full of sharp teeth. Those mouths are constantly opening and closing, and the eyes on the arms are constantly moving. Glanced around.

"This is a Shadow Terror, everyone, step back and don't stare into its eyes..." the magician Lance shouted hysterically, and then dragged his companions and ran towards the exit of the cave.

The horror got out of the portal, and its body quickly ignited black flames, just like those evil spirits on the Warsaw plane would be stripped of their skin by the laws of the world when they climbed out of the gate of evil spirits. A layer of black fire ignited on the horror, and the powerful black fire burned Mrs. Grenfell to the point where there was not even a bit of bone residue left, but this horror was burned by the black fire. , tenaciously crawled out from the door.

Countless black flames emerged from its body, and there were also countless dark breaths condensing towards its body. Its body was like a huge vortex, greedily absorbing the dark breath here, fighting against the black flames on its body, as if its body The magic circle below is the foundation for it to gain power. The magic circle is constantly running and continuously providing energy for its existence.

And inside the black door full of thorns, there are still countless hands struggling to crawl out at this moment, but those purple bone hands stretched out of the door will quickly ignite a ball of black fire, and instantly turn into ashes. Countless mournful wailing sounds came from inside the door, and other terrifying creatures that wanted to crawl over from another world were quickly reduced to ashes under the burning power of the world's laws.

Lance and the other four magicians turned around and ran out of the cave. While running, they didn't forget to give Suldak a 'dangerous here' gesture, telling him to leave with everyone.

Suldak saw the group of magicians from the Magic Union Law Enforcement Team running outside in a panic. He didn't know that a monster that everyone couldn't deal with ran out of the summoning magic circle. He hesitated and ran out of the cave.

But before everyone ran out of the cave, the shadow terror in the center of the magic circle screamed.

It was a sharp whistle that could not hear any sound, but it trembled from the soul.

……

Suldak could only feel that his body was surrounded by a strange force in an instant, as if he had fallen into a icy lake, but the surface of this icy lake was covered with a thick layer of ice. I don't know where I fell in. In the icy lake water, my tendons all twisted together, and my hands and legs slowly sank to the bottom of the dark lake in a kind of cramping pain.

Infinite coldness surrounded Suldak. In the suffocating lake, Suldak could only feel the icy water pouring into his mouth continuously, and a string of bubbles floated towards the surface of the lake. Under the icy lake, Suldak held his breath instantly with his own willpower, twisting his body forcibly. Although he couldn't move his hands and feet, he was still floating in the icy lake towards the surface of the lake little by little.

It was only when he got close to the surface of the lake that he realized that he was under the ice layer, against the bone-piercing ice surface, and Suldak could even see the blue sky on the other side of the ice layer.

At this moment, his body burst out with strong willpower, one hand was freed from the cramp, and he pulled out the craftsman's sword from his waist, piercing through the ice that was more than a foot thick...

The world in front of him shattered like glass, and a suffocating darkness poured out from all around.

He opened his eyes from the darkness, and found himself lying on a desk. He was surprised to see a line of clear small words engraved on that desk with a pencil sharpener. Although the appearance of the quiet girl could not be clearly remembered, But that line of fine print is still fresh in my memory. I am wearing a familiar dark blue sportswear on a skinny body like a stick. A two-foot-high pile of textbooks and review rolls are piled on both sides of the desk. It means that if you can't finish writing these exercises, you have to stay, and you can't go home from school until you finish writing them all.

He picked up a black pen and looked at the math problems on the rolled paper in front of him, but he couldn't write a single stroke. Even if he was asked to copy these exercises, he didn't know where to find the answers.He simply put down the pen in his hand, and looked curiously at the young faces around him. He hadn't seen them for so many years, but their smiles were still so bright...

The mountains of homework didn't scare him. He looked at the blurry classroom with some nostalgia. Those students who were more impressive were sitting next to him, and those who couldn't remember sat a little farther away. For a moment, he no longer had the fear of not finishing his homework in his heart, and he was only left with nostalgia for all this.

The blurry classroom in front of his eyes was broken again, and the memories like those pictures were piled up under his feet like falling leaves before his eyes.

An urban beauty wearing a beige windbreaker stood under a plane tree, casually stuffed the gifts in the paper bag into the trash can next to her, bent down and got into a black luxury car into the bustling city night scene.He stood by the water stall across the street, holding two cups of milk tea in his hand, staring blankly at the woman who drove away without even saying hello, without a word of complaint in his heart—isn’t this what the world is like in the first place? ?

A young woman was lying on the bed holding her child and smiling lovingly. He was standing at the door clutching the paternity test, trembling all over his body and crying like rain.

An elderly man was lying on a hospital bed, and he found that the old man lying on the hospital bed was himself. His body was so exhausted that he could only use a ventilator to maintain his breathing. Nutrient solution was infused on the shelf, but his eyes were still slowly sinking into darkness. The breath of death permeated his body.

The next moment, a gleaming golden door in the cloud suddenly lit up in front of him, and he strode into the door exuding warm light, and then he woke up from the ensuing nightmare, between reality and illusion. , more like supplementing the incomplete life of his previous life.

Suldak recalled those scenes that rarely appeared in his dreams...
