Chapter 265: Understanding the Fox

In the forbidden area of the dreamland.

Dorothy, who had taken on the form of a black dragon, stood on the grass, gazing at the black dog before her. The enormous and terrifying appearance of the black dragon exuded majesty and pressure, but Dorothy’s heart was filled with complex emotions.

‘Great, why did I run into my brother during this night stroll? Do you also like to take evening strolls in the Dream Realm?’

As she thought, she had originally planned to fly around in the Dream Realm where no one was around before officially going to sleep, hoping to encounter something. This time, she indeed heard some sounds again and even sensed the traces of the little fox she had previously encountered.

When she rushed over excitedly, what she saw were two black dogs, and one of their voices… was surprisingly familiar! It turned out to be Gregor!

‘The black dog transformation… Is this the universal transformation spell used by the An Yin Bureau? No wonder you’re always called black dogs.’

‘But, bro, aren’t you being too careless coming to the Dream Realm? You didn’t even open a transformation device while online, and spoke in your true voice, as if you were afraid that others wouldn’t recognize you?’

Dorothy thought to herself, watching Gregor for the first time in her dream. She could identify Gregor because he spoke in his true voice without any disguise. In fact, any dream transformation could change their voice to some extent, but Gregor didn’t use it.

Of course, this wasn’t due to Gregor’s carelessness; he simply didn’t know himself. He had only become an extraordinary being for a year, and rarely participated in activities in the Dream Realm. Even when he occasionally came, he usually acted with the bureau’s people, so there was no need for voice disguise, and no one had taught him. As for why Dorothy could transform her voice, it was purely because the book she read, “The Dream Explorer’s Record,” had very detailed annotations.

Dorothy stared at Gregor, and her gaze made Gregor feel uneasy.

Gregor, in the form of a black dog, stood there stunned, watching Jed, who had been chasing and framing him, instantly turn into spiritual light points. For a moment, he couldn’t speak, unsure what to do next.

‘Jed… Did he say or do something wrong? Why did he suddenly make this giant dragon angry?’

Gregor pondered in shock, feeling panic at the same time because he sensed that this giant dragon was not only extremely powerful but also unpredictable in mood. Now, Gregor was worried that the dragon might lash out and k*ll him in the next second.

“Lord Dragon, you’ve…”

Facing the giant dragon, Gregor cautiously opened his mouth. The massive black dragon silently turned its head to stare at the pile of spiritual light points left by Jed.

“Don’t think you can deceive me.”

The black dragon said, and hearing the deep sound, Gregor was slightly startled. Only then did he realize that the dragon had seen through Jed’s trickery from the beginning and thus directly eliminated him.

Deception is equivalent to insult, and the consequences of deceiving a dragon are severe.

‘Can this dragon see through deceptions? Does he have foresight, or does he sense our situation from far away? Or can he read our thoughts?’

Thinking this, Gregor became even more cautious towards the black dragon in front of him. He didn’t know that the dragon believed it had destroyed Jed not because it could detect lies…

“Thank you for your trust, Lord Dragon…”

Gregor bowed respectfully, saying no matter what, the dragon had seen through Jed’s deception and eliminated his enemy. Despite his fear, he had to remain humble.

“Hmph… You should indeed be grateful, but first thank the person who led you here, the puppy from the An Yin Bureau.”

Hearing Gregor’s words, the black dragon redirected its gaze, then softened its tone. Hearing this, Gregor paused, realizing he had overlooked something. He thought for a moment and realized he hadn’t seen the little fox on his back.

‘Oh… Where did that fox go?’

Just as Gregor turned his head to search, a complaint came from the bushes beside him.

“Sis… You should indeed be thanked. Without me, this half-baked black dog would have been betrayed by his colleagues long ago.”

Hearing this voice, Gregor looked toward the bushes and saw a white fox limping over, looking at Gregor with a proud expression.

When the black dragon appeared, she was lightly blown away by the wind and landed far away. Due to her injured leg, she was now slowly making her way back.

“Good evening, Lord Dragon. We meet again.”

After returning, the little fox first bowed respectfully to the black dragon. Seeing the dragon nod slightly in response, she stood up again and looked at Gregor, who was somewhat stunned, then shouted loudly.

“Hey! The Lord Dragon asked you to thank me! Did you hear that!”

Hearing the little fox’s words, Gregor suddenly reacted. Thinking it over, he said to the little fox.

“Thank you, Miss Fox, for your help. If not for your reminder and suggestions, my transformation would have certainly been destroyed. However…”

Saying this, Gregor glanced at the black dragon beside him and continued.

“However, Miss Fox, do you know this Lord Dragon?”

“Of course! When Lord Dragon first arrived in this forest, I was a witness. I have been under his protection all this time~” The little fox puffed out her chest and said proudly. Hearing this, the black dragon form of Dorothy was puzzled.

‘My protection? When did I protect you?’

Dorothy thought in confusion, but the reality was that since she frequently logged into the dreamland, scaring away all the dream creatures, this forbidden area had become a sanctuary for the little fox.

Although in reality, under her grandfather’s demands, the little fox dared not actively approach Dorothy, she had become adept at using Dorothy’s influence.

For example, the little fox often loitered near the edge of the forbidden area, and after provoking the Black Dream Hunter Group or losing to other dream creatures, she would retreat into the forbidden area, and no one dared to pursue her.

Over these months, the little fox had turned the forbidden area into a safe haven, enjoying the constant teasing of the Black Dream Hunter Group and dream creatures, so she claimed to be protected by the dragon. Of course, Dorothy was unaware of this.

‘Protection? I didn’t expect this little fox to be so capable, knowing this giant dragon. Fortunately, I saved her; thanks to her, I was saved…’

After hearing the little fox’s words, Gregor thought this way. At this moment, he believed that he was saved because of the relationship between the little fox and the dragon, and felt relieved.

The black dragon form of Dorothy naturally didn’t know what the little fox and Gregor were thinking. Her current target was the pile of black light points left by Jed. According to the little fox, Gregor had been attacked by his colleague, which worried Dorothy.

“Internal strife among black dogs, has your official secret agency in Pritehia become so incapable?”

Dorothy spoke in the tone of a dragon, trying to understand what happened to Gregor. Hearing the dragon’s words, Gregor immediately responded.

“Lord Dragon, you may not know, but in recent years, the activity of various secret societies in reality has increased. Many of our local branches have been infiltrated. I think the attacker I encountered this time might be the result of infiltration. He may not be from our An Yin Bureau, but rather someone from outside the bureau who obtained our transformation spells and secret codes, turning into a black dog in the dream and joining us in executing tasks…”

“Please don’t misunderstand us based on this incident alone.”

Gregor quickly said, hoping that the mysterious dream black dragon wouldn’t have a bad impression of the An Yin Bureau due to this incident. Dorothy, however, changed her tone and responded.
