Protected by the cyclone, the group easily reached the depths of Murren Street.
Previously, there were two areas surrounded by a dark tornado: the apartment building at 01 Merren Street and the Uriel compound.
Now, the tornadoes in both areas have clearly disappeared, and although the strong winds are still present, they can no longer stop the group from moving forward.
Just then, Mr. Sun suggested that we go our separate ways.
“Let’s go check out the apartment building first. We’ll leave this place to Angel for now.”
After saying this, Mr. Sun led Ms. Moon toward the apartment building.
The others paused for two seconds, then quickly followed.
Although only Blanche and the Sun and Moon Wizard had the right to stay in the apartment building among the people present, the others were not fools. It was obvious that Mr. Sun had deliberately made an excuse to part ways, so as to leave space for Angor and Luigi to talk alone.
They're all adults; they naturally know how to be tactful.
Angel watched the group leave, his mouth agape, wanting to say... that they wouldn't actually discuss anything important, so there was no need to avoid suspicion.
But since things had come to this point, he could only accept their kindness.
Angell walked alone into Uriel's courtyard and found Luigi in the traveler's hut.
About ten minutes later.
Mr. Sun and the others returned from the apartment building and chatted idly in Uriel's courtyard.
A few more moments passed.
Angel and Luigi emerged from the travel cabin.
"You're out?" Blanche waved them over.
“We just went to the apartment building and found that everything is the same as before. People with access cards can come in anytime, while those without access cards are kept out.” Blanche said excitedly, “That means our old home has now been moved to Dawn Dream.”
“The house hasn’t changed, but the environment has,” Luigi replied.
Blanche nodded: "That's right, it's pretty good. Although the apartment room isn't big, I've been living here for a while and I've gotten used to it... I was worried before that if the Uriel instance ended, I'd probably lose my room, but it seems my home is still here."
Angell: "Not only has your home remained the same, but you've also gained another home in the Word Marsh Forest."
Blanche's eyes lit up instantly at the mention of the Mononomiyuri's house; she was genuinely looking forward to seeing what Mononomiyuri would be like.
"I just don't know when we'll be able to leave Dawn's Dream," Blanche sighed.
Angell reassured him, "Don't worry, as an open-world instance, the entry and exit threshold for Dawn of Dreams isn't too high. Perhaps we'll find a way to leave soon."
Blanche nodded: "I hope so."
"By the way, we were just discussing our upcoming itinerary. Would you like to join the discussion?"
Angell and Luigi exchanged a glance and nodded noncommittally.
Their arrival didn't cause much of a stir; the crowd simply nodded to them and then continued their discussion.
Angel listened for a moment.
Although it was called a discussion, the general goals had already been set.
First, join forces with other anchor point managers.
Second, explore the dream of dawn and find a way to leave.
Third, find the Dawn Shop.
As for these three goals, which should take priority, which should be postponed, or should they be pursued simultaneously?
There is still some debate.
Mr. Sun looked at Angel and Luigi: "Do you have any ideas? Or do you need to add any new goals?"
Mr. Sun's words are actually not difficult to understand.
After all, the Uriel instance has only recently been integrated into Dawn of Dreams, and Luigi is an "outsider," so who knows what new quests he might have received.
This new task could perhaps be listed as one of the new goals.
However, although Angell understood what Mr. Sun meant, he was still somewhat surprised. Because Mr. Sun was willing to include Luigi's mission as a new objective, which implied that he didn't mind helping Luigi.
This puzzled Angell... He had always thought that while the Sun and Moon Wizards were curious about the Dream Crystal Plains, it wasn't particularly strong; they were simply paying more attention to something new.
This can be seen from the frequency with which the Sun and Moon Wizard was online in the previous period.
Although they log on every day to complete tasks that build their approval rating, they usually log off as soon as they finish, which is a manifestation of "having a desire to explore but not being addicted".
This also aligns with Angor's imagination of legendary wizards.
After all, legendary wizards must have a lot of their own affairs and research, and they have a wide range of knowledge. Even if they are curious about the Dream Crystal Origin, they wouldn't be so obsessed with it.
But now, Angell could clearly sense some changes in the Sun and Moon Wizard.
Mr. Sun, in particular, seemed more eager to participate in the exploration of the Dream Crystal Plains.
This can be seen from the previous exploration of the black stock building's dream bubble.
Normally, if someone were to enter a dream bubble and investigate, given Mr. Sun's personality, he most likely wouldn't go...
It's like adults watching children play with puzzles; they can watch, but they won't necessarily join in. Sometimes it's not that they're not curious, but rather that they need to give children the opportunity.
But now, Mr. Sun himself has stepped in.
Not only did it attempt to conquer small dream bubbles, which it failed to do, it then went on to conquer medium-sized dream bubbles.
This is very... Mr. Sun.
This time was no different. He rarely took the initiative to get involved in trivial matters, but this time he took the initiative to take the lead in discussing the itinerary and even took the initiative to consider Luigi's mission, which surprised Angel.
He didn't know what had happened to the Sun and Moon Wizards, but before they were "exploratory but not addicted," while now they had become "somewhat curious and gradually addicted."
This shift in trend is something that Ingres is very concerned about.
After all, these two are legendary wizards!
If they can locate Dream Crystal Origin in reality, the two of them alone could easily destroy it.
Angell naturally had to be wary of such a terrifyingly powerful figure's thoughts.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to discern much yet; all we can sense is that they're starting to take Dream Crystal Plains seriously...
While Angel was lost in thought, Luigi didn't think too much about it and said in a low voice, "I have no objection. If you need to find the anchor point manager, I can help you find one."
"And what about you?" Lady Moon suddenly spoke up: "Don't you have anything you want to do?"
Luigi thought for a moment: "If I had to choose, I would actually prefer to go to the Dawn Shop right now, as it's related to my main quest later on."
"Main storyline?"
Previously, no one dared to ask, but now that Luigi himself has brought up the main storyline, it means that he has no intention of hiding anything.
Uriel spoke first, asking curiously, "I did hear Mr. Angor say that you need to enter the Dream of Dawn to complete the main quest... But your new main quest is related to the Dawn Shop? Do you need my and Guleimo's help?"
Luigi shook his head: "We probably don't need any help right now."
Seeing everyone's curious expressions, Luigi thought for a moment and decided to simply reveal the information he had just obtained.
Interlude to the special dream sequence "Uriel's Choice".
Interlude Overview: The guidance in the interlude is essential for successfully activating subsequent main quests.
Interlude objective: Activate the Dream Trapping Permission.
Note: There are no rewards for completing the interlude objectives; the interlude is merely a guide to activate subsequent main quests.
Everyone was somewhat surprised when they heard that Luigi's new mission was an "interlude".
I originally thought that once Luigi reached the Dream of Dawn, he would be able to activate the End of the Main Story, but instead of seeing the End of the Main Story, I encountered an "Interlude".
“I just discussed it with Angor, and we suspect that activating the End main storyline might be relatively complicated. If I were to do it on my own, I might not be able to figure it out. That’s why the Fairy Realm Authority is using an interlude to guide me on what to do next.”
This is why no reward is given in the interlude.
Because the interlude itself is a form of intelligence reward.
Without the interlude, Luigi would have no idea how to activate the next part of the main storyline.
"What is the Dream Trapping Authority?" Uriel asked in confusion, and the others also looked at Luigi.
Luigi shrugged: "I don't know."
After a pause, Luigi looked at Angor: "But Angor just told me that the description of the Dawn Shop mentions that you can buy all kinds of items and have access here."
"Therefore, we speculate that this Dream Trapping Permission was most likely purchased from the Dawn Shop."
This is why Luigi suggested going to the Dawn Shop.
Although he was penniless, it didn't stop him from going to the Dawn Store to check things out. Maybe this access was free?
"However, my mission doesn't have a countdown, so there's no rush. I don't necessarily have to go to the Dawn Shop right away. If you're looking for the Anchor Point Manager, I can help you find him first."
"Where to go next? Isn't that still under discussion?" Mr. Sun looked up at Angell: "And you, Mr. Angell, do you have any suggestions?"
Angell: "Actually, I think the goals you've listed so far are not contradictory."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Angel said, "Let's talk about how to leave the Dream of Dawn. As I mentioned before, although I don't know what the method of leaving is yet, it is most likely related to Dawn Points, and then to the Dawn Shop."
Therefore, if you want to find a way to leave, you should also go to the Dawn Shop.
"But here's the problem... Do you guys know where the Dawn Shop is?"
The group looked at each other and shook their heads.
Angell: "See? None of us know where the Dawn Shop is, so we can only search randomly within the city. Since we're searching randomly, we can always go find other anchor point managers first."
"Maybe we'll run into Dawn Shop on our way to find them."
After thinking about it, everyone agreed that it was indeed the case.
Since both targets are related to the Dawn Shop, and they don't know where the Dawn Shop is, they can simply look for other managers first.
On the way to find the person, we stopped by Dawn Store.
Even if you don't encounter the Dawn Shop, finding other anchor point managers and searching together will be faster.
Ultimately, everyone agreed with Angell's opinion.
The question now is... who should we contact first?
Uriel and Gulemo really wanted to suggest finding Rigota first; however, when Angor had just telepathically communicated with them, he clearly stated that Rigota was currently at the Babilon Monastery.
The nearest anchor point to them is currently the anchor point in Tiewu Lane, while the Babilon Monastery is relatively farther away.
In the end, they didn't say anything; after all, going to Tiewu Lane and then to the monastery would be the same.
After making the decision, everyone prepared to set off.
Just then, Luigi suddenly stood up. "Oh, right, I almost forgot something."
Amidst the suspicious gazes of the crowd, Luigi bowed solemnly to them.
"Thanks to you guys for completing the task of homogeneous fusion, otherwise I guess I would have been stuck in the courtyard forever."
Faced with Luigi's thanks, everyone reacted the same way as Angor. It wasn't Luigi's fault; since the Fairy Realm's powers were arranged this way, the blame naturally fell on the Fairy Realm's powers as well.
Luigi still thanked him sincerely, which instantly improved everyone's impression of him.
……
Molun Street is very close to Tiewu Lane.
It took them less than ten minutes to reach Maoyan Avenue, where Tiewu Lane is located.
"This place is called Hat Brim Avenue because it's all about selling hats, from high-end custom hat workshops to hat tailors for the general public. You can find everything here." As a local, Uriel naturally took over the role of "tour guide."
As they walked, they introduced the features of Dawn City.
Uriel: "Wearing hats is commonplace in Dawn City. From nobles to commoners, everyone likes to wear hats. That's why there's an entire street dedicated to hats."
Gulemo then added, "Actually, hats weren't as fashionable in Dawn City in the early years as they are now. But later, when nobles started wearing them, the common people followed suit, and gradually, more and more people started wearing hats."
"However, what the common people didn't know was that nobles wore hats to cover up their bald spots. Their hair was constantly coated with ointment and adorned with strange and unusual decorations. The more bizarre the decorations, the more attention they attracted, leading to a lot of alopecia areata. So, many nobles started wearing large hats, which not only covered up their bald spots but also saved them the trouble of washing their hair..."
At this point, Gulemo said with a hint of sarcasm, "Many times, the origins of trends are not so honorable."
Uriel chuckled and said, "I think we don't need to worry about tracing the source. The hat industry has at least boosted Dawn City's economy and created so many jobs."
Gulemo shook his head and said nothing more, only glancing at the surrounding shops.
“I’ve been here before, and many shops are full of things, but this shop is empty… with only one or two hats.”
This also shows that Dawn of Dreams is not a one-to-one replica of the real Dawn City.
It wasn't just the hat shop that was empty; many shops were deserted.
Including the black market building they visited before, logically, since people lived in the rooms, there should have been some miscellaneous items, but in reality, most of the rooms didn't even have basic furniture.
This is also the gap between reality and dreams.
Just then, Blanche came out of a nearby hat shop, carrying two hats. Hearing Gulemo's remark, she casually remarked:
"Although there are fewer varieties, I feel that the replicas here are basically all high-quality products."
As she spoke, Blanche casually tossed two hats away, and they vanished into thin air.
Clearly, she had put it into the snowy owl's wardrobe.
To be honest, during this journey, Blanche would stop at any clothing or home decor shop she came across to restock her wardrobe...
