Archer's Adventure Manual

Chapter 160 Dream Stars

Loran gripped his greatsword and charged fearlessly toward the giant bear!

He radiated a dazzling light, and the greatsword seemed to sense his spiritual fluctuations, becoming even more radiant and shiny!

"roar!"

"Buzz!"

The greatsword slashed down on the giant bear, whose massive paws tried to block, but were unexpectedly severed by the greatsword! It was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables!

"Boom!" Just as the greatsword fell, a beam of holy light descended from the sky and slammed into the giant bear.

The giant bear cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground, unable to move an inch under the fierce bombardment of the holy light.

It ended abruptly there. Loran's mind returned to calm, and before him was still that dreamlike space.

"Combat Guidance: You have witnessed the use of an intermediate skill and gained some insights."

Loran was overjoyed. Sure enough, that was exactly right!

Those jars circulating in the Dream City allow people to obtain the power they crave in their dreams.

But no one in Dream City knew where the power of these jars came from, how they were made, or why the bishops could sell them while believers could only buy them.

Now Loran finally has the answer: these pink stars scattered in the dream space are the dream memories of millions of people in this world.

The skills they possess are replayed in the dreams and scattered here. Loran only needs to touch them slightly to experience these dreams as if he were there.

The bottle-making skills created by the bishops are based on these dream memories; here, one can even find dreams about Napoleon the Great.

They will extract their dream memories so that everyone can also use that unparalleled, unthinking sword technique in their dreams.

Loran roamed freely in this space. He didn't have the materials to make the skill jars at hand, but he could freely access the dream stars of these people.

His fingertips touched a dream star once more.

His perspective shifted to that of a mage, who was activating a massive magic circle that suppressed a huge, ferocious monster.

Under the suppression of the magic circle, the enormous monster was indeed unable to move an inch and eventually fell into a deep sleep once again.

"Combat Guide: You have witnessed an arcane miracle, and you have gained some insights."

With his spirits restored, Loran looked at the tips in the adventure manual and was overjoyed.

In the past, he had to go to great lengths to witness powerful individuals unleash their skills in order to gain some understanding of those skills.

Now, with all sorts of dreams interspersed throughout the sky, as long as he encounters enough dreams, he will eventually learn powerful skills!

Loran began to touch the star points in the dream world to learn the skills within them.

"Battle Guide: You witnessed a magical explosion, and you have gained some insights."

"Battle Guidelines:..."

However, upon contact with the fifth dream star, a sudden change occurred.

Loran realized that the creature his consciousness was possessing this time seemed a bit off. The surrounding area was a dimly lit dungeon. He turned his head and saw that his arm was tied to a cross with grotesque wire!

No... this is probably not a dream about using skills.

Soon, faint footsteps came from the other end of the dungeon, and a group of people wearing bird-beak masks appeared in the dungeon, looking at Loran as if he were a toy.

"Subject 1288, currently in normal condition, ready to proceed to the next stage of the experiment," the bird-beaked masked man recorded. "Move."

Soon, the group of bird-beaked men took Loran off the cross and carried him to a dark basement.

A strong, pungent smell of blood wafted from the basement, and an oppressive sense of death instantly enveloped Loran's heart.

People placed Loran on a laboratory table covered in a viscous red liquid, secured him, and prepared to inject some kind of drug.

Just before the injection, the dream vanished, and Loran's consciousness returned.

Loran was also panting heavily. Experiencing these things from a first-person perspective was a very real feeling, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

It seems that dreams aren't something you can just randomly touch. It's like opening a blind box; although most of the time you get decent dream memories, there are also nightmares.

Milder nightmares may be alright, only causing fright, but severe nightmares can cause severe psychological trauma.

Loran, wandering in the dream space, temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​contacting these stars; he didn't want to encounter another nightmare.

Furthermore, these dreams did not provide him with much help. There were too many different kinds of skills, and even if he gained a lot of insights, he could only unlock a very few skills.

The bishops of Dream City are able to capture dream stars and make things like canned dreams, and they have a set of identification processes and procedures.

Loran doesn't have any of these materials on hand right now; he needs to go to Dream City to get some.

After swimming back to the vicinity of the open hole, Loran returned to Dream City.

The hole in the ground, which Loran had set ablaze, is slowly healing; this is the self-repairing power of Dream City.

Loran took a deep breath and left. All of this was thanks to the pink-haired woman in the underworld, Karin.

Without that guy's startup capital, Loran wouldn't be able to do so many things right now.

After giving him this start-up capital, that guy naturally had a request: he hoped that Loran would use his skills to steal something from the bishops' territory.

This coincides perfectly with what Loran wants to do now.

In the ordinary areas of Dream City, many believers wander, and the Dream Factory is the most iconic building here.

Passing through the Dream Factory area, in the distance stands a massive tower. Beyond the tower reside the bishops of the Dream God Cult, who overlook the people, manage everything, and control all resources.

That was Lorraine's destination.

"Hey everyone, did you see the announcement in the Adventurers' Guild Square?! An elite adventurer team has arrived in Rockfall Town to provide support, and I believe the town will soon begin repairs," Finita said excitedly to everyone.

The people who were eating were also very happy to hear this.

Noah smiled and said, "That's great. Plasson really has the foundation of a big city. Rockfall Town will definitely be safe now."

"Hey, let's clink glasses to celebrate!"

"Cheers!"

Looking at the cheerful crowd, Loran gazed into the distance. It was good that Rockfall Town had settled down. If even the adventurers of Plasson couldn't solve the problem, then things... would be serious.

Fortunately, things are now moving in a positive direction.
