Chapter 841: An Unexpected “Visitor” in Fool Village, Witch Aina
“This is… huh?”
I looked at the “visitor” who had come to Fool Village, slightly surprised, because the figure before me was neither a Dream Demon nor one of the consciousnesses that had been drawn in.
Instead, it was a “living” soul consciousness.
Just sensing her, I could feel the unique concept of her witch race above her soul’s essence, along with a life essence capable of touching real time.
Without a doubt, the one before me… was one of those who had intruded into the Primordial Dream World and ultimately ended up lost, as I had learned from Sister Bai.
As for exactly who she was… I couldn’t say for sure.
Even though there were Earth Veins in the dream world, and my Great Knowledge Tree’s Earth Vein Identification Technique had completed a “reconstruction” based on dream information, the Earth Vein Identification Technique in the dream world did not extend to the information of the Extraordinary Witches in reality.
Since this was a Witch Mentor I had never seen before, my actions naturally were not as rough as with the Dream Demons and those chaotic consciousnesses.
I crossed the false sky above Fool Village and descended into the village, then the surrounding Fool Dreams seemed to gather around out of curiosity.
“Is that Sage Sister~”
“Who is this, Sage Sister? She doesn’t seem like the Dream Demon the Village Head mentioned?”
Several Fool Dreams approached, curiously asking.
After spending some time with them, I had already transformed from “Sage Lord” to “Sage Sister” in their mouths.
Originally, I preferred them to call me Sister Xiao Han, but it was clear they better identified with the title of Sage.
“This lady is certainly not a Dream Demon~ She is an Extraordinary Witch; you can understand her as being of the same race as me. However, I am still a Little Witch, and even I have to call this lady ‘sister.'”
“Is she Sage Sister’s sister? Then what should we call her?”
“Is she of the same race as Sage Sister? Then she must also be a good person, right?”
A few Fool Dreams asked their questions, filled with curiosity.
At that moment, this Witch also reacted.
I wasn’t too surprised; after all, when I caught this Witch, I had sensed she wasn’t deeply unconscious but experiencing the shock of her soul from the Primordial Dream World, somewhat similar to brief lapses in consciousness.
At this moment, Aina’s “vision” was a bit blurry. When she opened her eyes, she found herself surrounded by a “blue” sky, and at the edges of her vision, there seemed to be several curious heads looking at her.
In fact, she had experienced something similar before.
She had fallen unexpectedly into an unfamiliar, unformed Small World in the Void, and when she woke up, she discovered that the animals of that world were looking at her like this, and when they realized she was alive, they immediately bit her.
However, Aina wasn’t afraid of such a thing happening; the physical strength of an Extraordinary Witch is not something ordinary beasts can handle.
Moreover, she had yet to confirm her current situation.
But after adjusting her state and regaining clarity of vision, Aina suddenly realized something was off.
“Wait… Xiao Han?!”
Aina suddenly recognized the source of the misunderstanding!
Then she recalled her situation: she should have been exploring the breakthrough point of the chaotic Primordial Dream World, and in the last moment… she was captured by the dream world?!
“Huh? Does this Witch Sister know me?” When I heard the Witch directly call my name, I queried in response.
“How could I not know you?” Aina sat up and instinctively looked around, only to realize that those little heads she had seen earlier… were all Fool Dreams?
“Perhaps there are many witches in the Witch Academy who don’t need your Great Knowledge Seed, but witches who don’t know you… must be very rare.”
“Hah? Is it really that exaggerated?” I scratched my head, incredulous as I laughed.
“Mm…” Aina subconsciously replied, though it was clear she didn’t want to waste time on this topic. “Where is this? Have we returned to the Academy?”
“Not at all; this is Fool Village in the Primordial Dream World, a paradise that’s home to only Fool Dreams. Since this sister already knows I’m called Xiao Han, may I ask how to address you, sister?”
“Fool Village?” Aina was clearly still shocked by this magical place. Then she regained her composure. “I am Aina; just call me Sister Aina.”
“Then… Hello, Sister Aina~”
“Hello, Sister Aina~” ×N
With my call, the nearby Fool Dreams echoed, mimicking my words to greet Aina.
“This…” Aina was somewhat at a loss in front of this group of Fool Dreams. After all, she couldn’t bear to act harshly against such cute beings. “By the way, Xiao Han, what exactly is going on? Can you explain it to me? Why are these Fool Dreams here… and… why are you here?”
“Alright… I figured you might not fully understand, Sister Aina.” I naturally understood Aina’s confusion at this moment, so I began to explain in detail.
“Sister Aina, you should remember that you were in the Primordial Dream World earlier, right? This is indeed the Primordial Dream World, but it’s a very special dream within the Primordial Dream World, which I refer to as Fool Village. Although I want to say it’s purely a coincidence, it is indeed the origin place of the Fool Dreams. Even those Fool Dreams within the Academy belong to the same origin…”
“So that means… this is still the Primordial Dream World, and it’s related to you, right? Principal Mei said you were conducting a life experiment, so you chose to enter here within the Expanding Realm?” Aina asked.
“Mm… almost? But I really came here by accident.” I emphasized.
“I know, I know… mm, so this place is barely safe, right?” Aina nodded, ignoring my emphasis.
“Not particularly safe? Occasionally, some Dream Demons or already insane consciousnesses… Sorry, excuse me, there are new visitors arriving; I need to attend to them. If you have any questions, you can ask the Fool Dreams here, Sister Aina!”
I had just spoken halfway when I suddenly sensed an alteration in the space above Fool Village, instantly making me alert.
Since the first Dream Demon had descended upon Fool Village, the frequency of visitors had been increasing, so I had to clear out these intruders immediately.
After watching me leave at high speed, Aina was left somewhat dazed.
She instinctively reached out her hand, looking as if she wanted to cast a spell, but she couldn’t even summon half a spark.
Spellbooks can’t be used in the Primordial Dream World!
This is a conflict between rules and order; as an explorer Witch of the Soul Great Topic, she had tried and explored this in the Primordial Dream World more than once. Very few witches understood better than her that spells could not be cast in the Primordial Dream World.
Then… how did Xiao Han fly away?
Aina was very confused at this moment, but Xiao Han’s departure was a fact; now, only she remained, alongside the Fool Dreams gathered around her.
They were looking up, blinking their eyes with great curiosity, all filled with interest in her.
“Hello, everyone.” Aina placed her hands on her knees, crouched down a bit, and then raised a gentle smile, greeting these Fool Dreams.
“Hello, Sister Aina~”
“Mm~ So obedient~” Aina subconsciously reached out, wanting to pet the Cat Ears of the Fool Dreams on their heads.
She occasionally visited the Witch Cat Café, so she was not unfamiliar with Fool Dreams, but unfortunately, the Fool Dreams in the Café were hard to pet.
But here… there were so many!
And they were all surrounding her!
For a moment, these cute little ones even softened the reality of her recent encounter with danger.
“You’re all Fool Dreams, right?”
“Mm~ Is Sister Aina the mentor of Sage Sister?”
“Then does that mean Sister Aina is even more powerful than Sage Sister?”
“Ah this…” Suddenly asked this way, Aina was at a loss for how to respond.
Right now, she was in the Primordial Dream World, where she could say that the vast majority of her powers were unable to be used. At this moment, she was only slightly harder to k*ll than an ordinary person. To avoid awkwardness, Aina quickly changed the topic. “Wait, why do you call Xiao Han your Sage? Why do you refer to her that way?”
“Huh? Because… Sage Lord is the Sage, after all.”
“Because… the Village Head said she’s our Sage?”
“Because Sage Sister said she would help us become true lives!”
The Fool Dreams each provided their answers, some were absurd, while others made her feel even more absurd.
Making dream creatures into true lives?
She had heard Principal Mei say that before, mentioning that Xiao Han was conducting a life experiment.
She understood why the life experiment would lead to the upheaval of the Primordial Dream World. In the end, was Xiao Han actually a life of dreams?!
“By the way, how did Xiao Han manage to use special powers? Do you know?” Aina’s curiosity grew regarding how Xiao Han could utilize power in the Primordial Dream World.
Whether it was flying or any means, her mental power could at most greatly affect things within the dream world, crashing or scattering those dream creations. However, these methods had no effect, and even against dream creatures, she could only drive them away.
But Xiao Han was clearly different!
“Perhaps… because of a Sacred Object?”
“Sacred Object? What is that?” Aina looked curiously at a Fool Dream approaching her, feeling as if this Fool Dream had some distinctions compared to the others.
“That’s the most precious thing for our Fool Dream clan, the fundamental basis for stabilizing the existence of Fool Village. Currently, there are two parts to the Sacred Object; one part remains in Fool Village, and the other part is in the hands of Sage Lord.”
“Sacred Object…” Aina was still unclear about this description, but she speculated from another angle that this so-called Sacred Object was very likely related to [Extraordinary Knowledge].
After all, she was also an Extraordinary Witch focused on the Soul Great Topic and knew that the Great Spellbook could play some role in the dream world, albeit not much… but very useful.
And coincidentally, Xiao Han had the Great Spellbook, and she had two at once!
It truly made her envious; after all… that was a Great Spellbook! Just when she wanted to delve more into this with the Fool Dream, my figure suddenly appeared here, and an additional consciousness body formed in my hands.
“Oh? The Village Head is here too?”
At that moment, I noticed the Village Head of Fool Village standing nearby, somewhat surprised.
“Sage Lord, you have returned. I didn’t expect that after just leaving, you would solve another problem for Fool Village.” The Village Head spoke humbly.
“Alright~ There’s really no need to speak to me like that.”
“Village Head?” At this moment, Aina was also surprised; she had indeed not expected that this somewhat peculiar Fool Dream was the Village Head of this Fool Village!
No wonder she knew about the Sacred Object, and from the attitude of this Village Head, it seemed she held a very low stance towards Xiao Han.
“Mm, she is indeed the Village Head of Fool Village and the guardian of the entire village, a very great existence.”
“A great existence?” Aina looked at the Fool Dream before her, not seeing that characteristic, but this was not the time to question it.
“This you have in your hands…”
“It should be one of those unfortunate experimental subjects pushed into the Primordial Dream World by the Extraordinary Academy.” I shrugged and slightly shook the “person” in my hands.
It had completely lost its sanity; there was no possibility of recovery. Facing such a being, the only thing I could do was to send them away from this world with dignity.
Aina looked at me as I swiftly dismissed that consciousness, feeling an indescribable strangeness, but this time she truly sensed the power Xiao Han possessed!
It was a very special power, stemming from the reasonable forces under this order, but the more “reasonable” it was, the more unreasonable it became!
How did Xiao Han manage to use Extraordinary means in the Primordial Dream World!
The earlier Village Head mentioned that Xiao Han might have leveraged the power of the Sacred Object, but she hadn’t seen any traces of the Great Spellbook.
Instead, it gave her a very familiar feeling, which was… the order aura of the Holy Realm!
After all, she was also a Holy Realm Witch, and although the domain she mastered was a very common Spell Field, once the domain was activated, it had already blurred the line for much of the extraordinary.
Thus, Aina directly applied her good habit of asking when she didn’t understand, and asked, “Xiao Han, how did you master Extraordinary power in the Primordial Dream World? Was it with the help of the Great Spellbook?”
“Extraordinary power?” I looked at Aina in surprise. “Oh, regarding that, to say it was aided by the Great Spellbook wouldn’t be entirely accurate… How should I put it? This isn’t exactly a specific extraordinary power, but a type of dream domain.”
“Dream… domain?! What is that? Can a dream also give birth to a domain?” Upon hearing my description, Aina was immediately baffled! The concept I proposed was far too bizarre!
“It’s not a domain birthed from a dream; actually, if you were to draw a comparison, it’s more analogous to a typical Holy Realm domain. Sister Aina should know that I possess a nascent domain form, right?” I explained with some difficulty, as this operation was indeed somewhat contrary to logic. The more profound one’s understanding of a domain, the harder it was to break out of that conceptual framework.
“Impossible! I am a Holy Realm Witch; the Primordial Dream World has no foundation for any domain to unfold. I’m very clear on this, how could there be domains emerging within a dream?!”
“…Sister Aina, there’s no need to be so surprised; isn’t the truth simply as it is?” I waited for Aina to finish her agitation before slowly trying to reason with her.
After all, it requires a process for an individual to accept a new concept, and even an Extraordinary Witch is no exception.
