Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 4147 The Butler and Zhang Gui

Chapter 4147 The Butler and the Return

Neither Angell nor Gray Porcelain spoke when faced with Montedan's question; instead, they turned their gazes to the rabbit girl.

As the leader of Rabbit Hole and the head of Rabbit Town, her answer was more decisive.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, the rabbit girl understood what they meant. She thought for a moment, then looked at Montedan and asked softly, "Can you answer two questions for me?"

Montand knew it was time to decide whether he could join the Rabbit Hole crew, and he nodded without hesitation: "Of course, ask away."

The rabbit girl tilted her head and slowly said, "You mentioned earlier that you have some special privileges. I wonder what those privileges are?"

Montedan seemed to have anticipated this question and replied directly, "Currently, I have roughly two types of permissions. The first is the temporary permission granted to me by the powers of the Fairy Realm."

For example, retrieving the battle footage of the Lord of Ten Thousand Games team just now falls under this permission.

"Once I become a follower, most of my temporary privileges will be revoked. However, the Celestial Authority will grant me a small portion of privileges that have little impact as a reward for becoming an observer."

"But I don't know yet which permissions will be revoked and which will be retained."

"Therefore, I cannot answer this part for you. I will only be able to clarify my authority after the Sandbox Wonderland is completely finished."

"However, what is clear is that the permissions I currently have are all auxiliary functions, such as accessing challenge recordings and checking some data... So the permissions I will ultimately retain should also be auxiliary-related."

After a pause, Montedan continued to talk about his second type of authority.

"As for the other type of permission, it is related to the virtual sandbox outside." Montedan shrugged: "This part of the permission is currently completely blocked. It will need to be unlocked by the sandbox master after the sandbox wonderland ends."

"Because it's a blocked account, even I don't know what permissions it has, let alone how to tell you."

Gray Porcelain exclaimed in surprise: "Unlocked for you by the master of the sandbox? In other words, the ultimate victor of the sandbox wonderland will unlock it for you?"

Montedan nodded.

Gray Porcelain: "What if the final winner doesn't unlock it for you?"

Montedan said quietly, "That just means you're not trying hard enough."

Gray Porcelain: "???" Who? How come it's because we didn't try hard enough?

Montedan: "That's right. If you become the masters of the sandbox, I will follow you. Would you not unlock it for me? If you can't become the masters of the sandbox, doesn't that mean you're not trying hard enough?"

Grey Porcelain was completely bewildered by Montedan's words.

How did they end up being the ones in the wrong?

However, judging from Montessori's answer, his previous statement—that the observer's purpose is to assist the master of the sand table—was actually correct.

Since their permissions all require the Sandbox Master to unlock, their existence is most likely closely related to the Sandbox Master.

“I understand. Now for the second question.” The rabbit girl paused. “I want to know, besides the powers granted by the Fairy Realm, what abilities do you possess yourself?”

In fact, when she heard that Montedan had some control over the simulation sandbox, she was already inclined to take him on. After all, she really needed an assistant.

Especially a capable assistant.

Montedan possesses special privileges, which alone surpasses those of Ivora.

Therefore, it's hard for the bunny girl to refuse Montedan.

However, even though she had already made up her mind, she still wanted to finish asking the questions, hoping that Montessori might bring her more surprises.

Montedan pointed to himself: "My abilities? Let me think..."

"Do we need to think about our own abilities?" Gray Porcelain complained from behind Angell, probably in retaliation for Montedan's earlier comment that they weren't working hard enough.

Montedan said irritably, "I just woke up, and many of my memories are still unclear..."

“I remember,” Montedan’s eyes suddenly looked a little confused, “what was I before…? I’ve kind of forgotten, but I think I was in charge of a stronghold city in the abyss…”

“Outpost city management?” Angell raised an eyebrow.

Outpost cities are mostly gathering places for the native inhabitants of the abyss, but some are also frontline outposts established by wizards.

For Montedan, a half-blood demon, to hold a management position in a stronghold city, he must either be incredibly powerful and have an extraordinary background, or possess exceptional business acumen.

I just don't know which category Montessori belongs to?

Rabbit Girl: "Management?"

Montedan nodded: "Yes, it should be management. I remember doing a lot of overall planning and coordination. Although my memory is not complete, I always feel that... I used to have to deal with a lot of people. For example, assigning tasks to different people, making sure they finished their work, and figuring out who did well and who did poorly, who should be rewarded and who should be punished."

"For example, the team score ranking in this level involves multiple dimensions of score reference, and the sorting is relatively complicated. Although the final result is the manifestation of the Wonderland's power, if it were handed over to me, I am confident that I could do just as well as the Wonderland's power in terms of overall coordination."

Gray Porcelain curled her lip: "Sounds like an accountant."

“You could say that,” Montedan said, unperturbed. “But isn’t it a skill for someone to turn disordered information into ordered data?”

Angel chuckled softly from the side: "Sounds like you'd be quite suited to be the 'head butler'."

Montessane gave an elegant gesture of placing his hand on his chest: "If you wish, I would not mind being a head butler."

Montessane once again expressed his desire to follow.

The crowd remained silent, only glancing at the rabbit girl.

This time, the rabbit girl had no more reservations. She walked up to Montedan and stretched out her little hand: "On behalf of Dream Mirror, I formally accept your following."

A glimmer of light appeared in Montedan's eyes as he took her hand: "It is my honor to follow you all."

"But allow me to ask a question... What is a dream?"

Rabbit Girl: "Dreams are..."

……

I gave a brief introduction to Montessori.

This includes information about Dream Mirror and introductions to the identities of Dream Mirror members.

Montedan was still a little confused after hearing this... According to the rabbit girl, the Dream Mirror was actually related to the discovery and creation of the Dream Crystal Plain?

Although the bunny girl did not disclose more information, this alone was enough to leave Montedan speechless for a long time.

Did he... win the lottery?

The first person I followed was the head of Dream Crystal Plains?

If he could perform well within the Dream Organization, just like he did back in that stronghold city, gradually rising to a position second only to the leader, wouldn't he become the second-in-command of Dream Crystal Plains in the future?

Just thinking about it filled Montessori with immense joy.

“Although I don’t know what you’re thinking, I feel you should think less about it. While the Dream Mirror is related to the discovery of the Dream Crystal Plain, it doesn’t mean we have absolute control over it,” Angor said slowly. He lied, but to dispel Montedan’s unrealistic fantasies, telling a little lie was no big deal.

Montedan was unaware of Angor's thoughts, but upon hearing Angor's words, the little bubble that had been forming in his heart was indeed temporarily dispelled.

He smiled somewhat awkwardly: "I wasn't thinking about anything, I was just proud to be a member of such an amazing organization."

The second half of his statement was indeed his true feeling.

“I hope you can keep that mindset,” Angell casually remarked, then changed the subject: “Speaking of which, are you able to leave Nereid now?”

Montedan nodded: "Yes, I can leave Nereid the moment I get the text panel. However, once I leave Nereid, all my current temporary permissions will be temporarily suspended until the final Sandbox Master is born, at which point the reward permissions I have obtained will be released."

In other words, Montedan can leave, but once he leaves, he will be no different from other new residents.

"We're about to leave. Are you planning to come with us, or stay here?"

Montedan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."

Although staying here would grant him some temporary privileges, Nereid had already cleared the rabbit hole, all the other teams had left, and even Nereid, the elemental rainbow dragon, had disappeared. His presence here, even with privileges, would be meaningless.

Therefore, Montedan decided to leave with the others.

“Alright.” Angell turned to look at everyone. “Now that this matter is settled, it’s time for us to leave.”

The rabbit girl nodded: "That's fine. After we get out, we can check if there are any easier levels, and then continue to conquer them!"

The rabbit girl was full of fighting spirit and had an indomitable drive.

However, as soon as Gray Porcelain heard that they had to continue to conquer new levels, he immediately raised the white flag: "New levels... can you please not count me in? I really... need to rest."

However, the rabbit girl didn't give him a chance to back down, and said solemnly:

"Your abilities are very important."

In this level, it was precisely because Gray Porcelain repeatedly predicted Nereid's attacks that they were able to conquer it with such ease.

In a sense, the rabbit girl even felt that her role was not as important as that of the gray porcelain.

"So you can't back down!"

Faced with the rabbit girl's expression of entrusting him with a great responsibility, Gray Porcelain's eyes darted around before finally looking at Montedan: "Why don't you take him with you? He's joined Dream Mirror now and can also take on important responsibilities!"

Montedan: "???"

Angell: "He didn't sign up for the Sand Table Wonderland."

Killer.

Gray Porcelain looked helpless. Seeing that Angel and the rabbit girl were both looking at him, he finally stammered, "If it's suitable for Gabriel, let Gabriel go. But if you need me, then... I'll give it a try."

After saying these words, Hui Ci seemed to deflate completely.

Angel patted Gray Porcelain on the shoulder: "Taking responsibility is good."

The rabbit girl also tiptoed and, imitating Ingres, patted the gray porcelain, trying to find some comfort.

“It’s time to go.” Angell said, “We’ve been stuck here for too long. I have a feeling that if we don’t leave soon, we might not be able to get out.”

"what?"

Filled with doubt, the group followed Angell's steps and stepped into the portal of light.

……

At this moment, the sand table projection of the floating island is visible from the outside.

A group of Rongshi tribe members were building crystal houses. The houses, of varying heights, sprang up like mushrooms after rain, and in just one day they had formed a camp.

In the camp, a buzz of discussion rolled in on the wind, like bubbles on the tide:

"Here, we're still missing a pillar here. Don't worry, we'll transfer the money offline!" The man from the Yorozuya called out to the Rongshi tribe's construction workers.

The Rongshi tribe construction worker, carrying a huge crystal pillar, walked over and casually inquired of the human before him:

Why are so many people gathered below the floating island? Do you know why?

“Oh, didn’t someone mention that before? Oh, I remember now, you were building the foundation down there, didn’t you hear…” The man paused, then said in a low voice, “That group of people were the team that was conquering Nereid… Nereid is one of the levels in the Six-Fold Puzzle.”

"In short, that group of people was just kicked out of the level. Apparently, there was a team called 'Rabbit Hole' that perfectly conquered Nereid and scored a high score of 130 points, ranking first on the leaderboard by a wide margin!"

"Who is Rabbit Hole? I'm not quite sure either..."

Perhaps someone overheard their conversation, as someone chimed in, "You don't even know about the rabbit hole? Is there any need to ask? Who else but the Dream Mirror Organization could pull off something like this!"

The human man from the Yorozuya nodded absently: "So it was them..."

Turning to the Rongshi tribe construction workers, he said, "That's how it is. Because the rabbit hole allowed them to clear Nereid perfectly, the other teams are waiting for them to come out over there."

"Wait for them to come out? Why?"

"It seems like they have questions about the challenge process? That's what I heard..."

No sooner had the words been spoken than a huge uproar erupted from the gathered crowd.

The man from the Yorozuya and the construction worker from the Rongshi tribe immediately turned their heads to look, and saw a halo flashing in the center of the crowd... Although they were far away, they could still see several phantoms.

"Is this... the people coming out of the rabbit hole?"

The same shouts also erupted from the crowd.

The teleportation light temporarily dispersed the crowd, but the onlookers could still see three people through the gaps in the crowd behind the rabbit hole... wait, no, why are there four people?

Angell stood at the front, his expression calm, but his eyes revealed a "I knew it" look.

The rabbit girl seemed startled by the crowd around her, and instinctively covered herself up even more with her cloak, revealing only the lower half of her face.

Gray Porcelain hid behind Angel, but even behind him, a large group of people were guarding outside the protective light of the teleportation. Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement, as if they wanted to devour him. Gray Porcelain was so frightened that he lowered his head and closed his eyes, pretending not to see them.

The only place that was peaceful was Montedan.

He looked around at the crowd with great interest, and even when he was being watched, his mood became more and more excited, as if he enjoyed being watched.

"Do I need to deal with these people?" Montedan looked at the rabbit girl, his tone carrying a hint of eagerness.

Clearly, he has already embraced the role of the "head butler".

The rabbit girl shook her head and gently tugged at his sleeve with her fingertips: "No need."

"Let's go straight back to the Word Manor."
