After inquiring about Qima Xueshan from Grandma Ellen, Dorn and Vivian said goodbye and left her home.

It was still late at that time, and the snow outside was quite thick and the temperature was low.

When they parted, the enthusiastic old woman asked if she needed to stay for one night. However, Dorn casually found an excuse to decline.

After all, it is much more comfortable to spend the night in the story world.

After leaving Grandma Ellen's house, Dorn reviewed the stories told by the other party in his mind.

"Actually, what I care about is that the person who enters the Earl's tomb will be petrified..." Dorn thought to himself.

It is known that whether it is the foreigner who entered the snow mountain or the young hunter mentioned by Ailian, even though they have really been to the tomb of Earl Wenfeng, they have fallen into a petrified state and die after leaving the tomb.

A foreigner died in an uninhabited hut in Laika Village. Before his death, he went to Grandma Ailian to steal the pot; the petrified body of the young hunter was found at the foot of the snow-capped mountain.

Combined with the sentence on the paper left by foreigners—

[I seem to be alive for a while, rocks cover my left hand, damn…]

It can be concluded that this petrochemical effect originated from a certain place in the Snow Mountains is chronic.

After being subjected to a certain kind of petrified curse, the body will slowly be covered by rocks within a certain period of time.

It's almost this feeling.

"And Grandma Elian said that this curse originated from the skinned count. Those who broke into his tomb would be stripped of their skin and then covered with rocks instead."

There must be loopholes in this statement.

This is more like the people who are circulating stories. In order to make the story more in line with the character setting of "Skinned Earl", they added their own imagination and guesses.

Grandma Ailian saw the man from another country at her home last night and recognized him.

Therefore, before the man returned from the snow mountain, he must have not experienced the torture of "skinning" in Earl Wenfeng's tomb.

"I think the source of that petrified curse is more likely than the Count of the Peeling Skin." Dorn thought, touching his chin.

Before his death, a foreign man left a word on paper - [Rock Guard].

Intuitively speaking, Dorn felt that even if this [Rock Guard] was not the source of the petrification curse, it must have a direct relationship with this curse.

"There may be a rock guard carrying special abilities in the snowy mountains. Well... it's a pity, it sounds like it's not eaten."

...

That night.

After 10 o'clock in the night, the villagers who had no entertainment activities to do fell asleep early. The whole village of Laika was silent and there was no lights.

At a certain time later, the villagers of Laika Village began to dream.

Men, women, young and old, are having a similar dream, an extremely clear and real dream.

It seems that they all returned to their childhood in their dreams. They either lie or sit next to their elders at home, and listen to them tell the legends about Qima Snow Mountain.

In addition, in the dreams of the villagers, apart from themselves and the elders who tell stories at home, it seems that there is a third party throughout the whole process.

It seems to be a stranger with an unusually vague appearance, or he has no appearance in his dream.

The "faceless man" who had no appearance sat upright in a corner, and listened carefully to the legendary stories about Qima Snow Mountain with the protagonists in the dream.

Because it is in a dream, it is normal for such a weird "character" to appear.

There is everything in the dream.

...

The outermost cottage of the village of Leka is a young farmer living alone.

At this time, the farmer was sleeping soundly on the bed wearing a shabby bed.

Unconsciously, something changed around him.

There was a strong and powerful nightmare black aura that was pouring out from him!

These unknown black gas gathered by the bed, twisted, and finally outlined Dorn's figure.

This is one of the abilities of Dorn’s [Dream Walker] skill, [Walking in Dreams].

Using this ability, he can turn his body into nightmare black gas, enter the dream, and shuttle through the dream.

The so-called "shuttle" means that Dorn, who uses the [Dream Walker] to enter the dream, can jump directly from one dream to another within a certain range.

Currently, this range is about 200 meters.

Moreover, the clothes and props he carries with him will also accompany this ability to realize the virtual shuttle in his dreams.

Using the skill [Dream Walker], Dorn can directly transform into a dark phantom, a nightmare in the dark night.

Very cool.

But it must be cool at night when the population is sufficient.

Tonight, Dorn has used the two abilities of [Dream Weaving] and [Walking in Dreams] to visit all the villagers of Leka Village.

And now the reason why he transforms from the farmer's dream is that from here, no one has lived in it.

If there is no suitable dream, it will be settled...

After coming out of the farmer's dream, Dorn swaggered and pushed open the door of his house and left, without any concern at all that he would wake him up.

After all, as a traveler in the dream, it is not too easy for him to let an ordinary person sleep for a night!

Therefore, the young farmer on the bed still slept soundly and snored loudly.

After leaving the outermost house of Laika Village, walking five or six hundred meters away outside the village, you can see a pile of extinguished bonfires and an empty carriage without seeing horses.

Done got on the carriage and took out "Alice's Bedtime Reading" from his arms.

After reading the real name of this book, his outline disappeared, as if it was wiped off by an invisible eraser.

And "Alice's Bedtime Reading" fell gently on the carriage.

Story world, castle in the middle of the lake.

In the hall of the castle, Vivian was sitting on a soft sofa, holding an ebony staff, squinting his eyes and yawning.

"Uh-Donn, you're back, um. Alice and the others have just gone upstairs to sleep."

When she noticed that Dorn came back, the fairy lady stood up with her staff. Perhaps because of her sleepiness, her voice was even warmer than usual.

"You should go to bed first like Alice, and you don't need to wait for me to come back."

"Hum-I'm not very sleepy yet." Although she said she was not sleepy, Vivian's voice was a little vague, "Well, how are you investigating?"

"I roughly explored the dreams of the villagers. The story of Qima Snow Mountain that most people know is similar to what Grandma Ailian told. I guess I will not get any new information from them."

Dorn told the truth.

"Then what should we do next?" The fairy lady supported herself with an ebony staff, her body shaking slightly unsteadily.
