Ark pigeon mode, activated!

"PhD!!"

The call was clearer than ever before, as if a giant hand was tightly grasping his heart, making him feel dizzy as if he had been hit hard!

Surtel...

Camilla called out the name in her heart, but she couldn't speak. Her pupils suddenly shrank and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

An inexplicable panic filled his whole body uncontrollably, draining all his strength.

He breathed slightly faster, turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.

Then... consciousness fell into darkness.

The pale mist surged, as if swept by a storm, and the dark green crystals gradually melted in the mist.

……

"Doctor...are you awake...Doctor..."

The faint call seemed to come from the deep sea.

The stagnant consciousness was touched by it and gradually became active.

Soon, his eyeballs felt the light from the outside world through his eyelids, so he opened his eyes with some difficulty and looked at the outside world.

A crude stone house, and... a red-haired, horned Sarkaz girl...

Kemila subconsciously raised her hand, which seemed to be extremely heavy for some reason, and stretched it towards her, and she immediately held it.

"Doctor, you're finally awake!"

A certain membrane was torn, and the sound broke into his mind with incredible realism.

"Sartre... where are we...?"

He asked with difficulty.

"Helheim, Doctor, we just arrived in Helheim after passing through Svartalfheim, where the Durinites live!"

Surtel replied softly.

……

Chapter 203: Blade Master Tower... Unable to Wake Up...

Camilla found it a little difficult to understand the current situation. Every time she thought about it, she felt a tingling pain in her head like needles.

Helheim... a very familiar place name, he must have heard of it. Where is this...

Not wanting to spend too much energy thinking, he asked in a low voice.

"What... did I come to Helheim for?"

The strong feeling of weakness in his body could not be concealed. He seemed to have contracted a serious illness and had not recovered yet. He felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to die!

Surtel lowered her head, stared at him with her beautiful lavender eyes, and spoke softly.

"Doctor, this is a journey of searching for memories. You said you would always be with me and walk through all the places in my memory together. You can't leave me alone!"

Camilla was speechless.

He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Maybe...it doesn't matter...

The things I can’t remember are probably unimportant…

He thought so and asked in a low voice.

“How did I become like this…?”

"Doctor, you accidentally ate some poisonous mushrooms here and became poisoned. I asked a witch doctor from the local village to treat you, and your condition has improved, but now it seems... your brain has been affected?"

Surtel said softly, and his usually arrogant and cold eyes revealed a rare hint of tenderness.

Even if the doctor really eats poisonous mushrooms and becomes a fool, she is willing to always take him with her...

"I see...poisoned...I can be careless sometimes..."

Camilla sighed slightly.

Some mushrooms contain terrible neurotoxins, and it is not uncommon to suffer brain problems or even sudden death after eating them.

So…what’s next?

Take care of your body and wait for recovery?

No... It's not this, there must be something more important...

Camilla endured the sharp pain in her mind and thought seriously.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly some images appeared in my mind, and then a lot of memories came flooding back!

That’s right! He’s a Camilla!

The last knight of the Stuart family!

He was studying at the Knights' Convent in San Siro, and everything before him... was an illusion he often experienced!

Yes! That's it!

He should... ignore it!

Just wait patiently for a while, the hallucinations will naturally dissipate, and the pain and weakness you feel are all illusions and will naturally disappear after you wake up.

After thinking this through, Camilla closed her eyes and said no more.

It's just an illusion, he won't be too nostalgic about it.

Seeing that he seemed too weak and tired and fell into a deep sleep again, Surtel couldn't help but call him twice softly.

no respond.

After thinking about it, she left the simple stone house.

A moment later, she brought a white-haired old woman over and told her about the time when Camilla had just woken up.

The old woman listened carefully, checked it briefly, and then spoke.

"He should be almost fully recovered and doesn't need any more medication. However, he's still too weak. He should be fine after a few days of good care..."

"Well, thank you, grandma..."

Surtel thanked him.

After a brief conversation, she sent the old witch doctor away. When she came back, she was holding a roasted feathered beast in a bag, which she had obtained from an unknown source.

She put the things on the stone table beside her, then sat down next to Camilla, without saying a word, just looking at him quietly, wondering what she was thinking.

Camilla closed her eyes and fell asleep unknowingly.

Time passed quietly.

I don’t know how long it took, but when I woke up again, my body was still extremely weak.

He knew that he had not escaped from this illusion.

The situation was not good. It seemed that he had never had such a hallucination before. His condition was getting worse and worse...

Moreover, he remembered that he should be cultivating Pure Consciousness all the time, so why didn't it work...

Or...it's already worked?

Although she felt hunger in her stomach, Camilla acted as if she didn't feel it and continued to lie quietly.

Gradually, he fell into sleep again.

When I woke up again, the hunger was gone and there was a strange taste on my lips.

Camilla tried to lick his lips. His soft lips had a jelly-like texture and tasted similar, making him want to take a bite of himself.

He opened his eyes and looked to the side. A red-haired, horned Sarkaz girl was sitting at a stone table eating something. It was the roasted feathered beast he had brought back earlier. It was only sprinkled with some salt, so it probably didn't taste very good.

As if noticing the gaze, Surtel immediately turned around and spoke excitedly.

"Doctor, are you awake? Do you want something to eat?"

She put down the roasted feather beast in her hand and quickly walked to the bed, her eyes full of concern.

For some reason, Camilla found it difficult to look directly at her and looked away.

After thinking for a few seconds, he said with a sigh.

"Sartre...help me up, I want to...see outside..."

"Okay, Doctor!"

Surtel nodded vigorously.

She wanted to reach out to help him, but after a moment's pause, she changed to a princess-like hug, picked him up, and walked out of the stone house.

For the Sarkaz, who have an extremely strong physique, the weight of Chimera is nothing and it is not difficult to hold her.

Camilla leaned quietly in her arms, tilting her head to look outward.

He realized that he might not be able to escape through the previous methods and had to think of new ways.

Self-harm, using extreme pain to escape, or... there are other answers in this world.

The stone house was not big, and Surtel quickly came out.

The stone house was just their temporary place of residence. Outside was a small village made up of stone houses scattered around. There were many huge mushrooms growing in the village. Some were gray, while others were brightly colored. They were obviously poisonous at first glance.

A pale fog filled the air, covering most of the village and lingering for a long time. Villagers with animal-like features shuttled through the fog to carry out their daily work.

And the sky...cannot feel the presence of the sun.

Everything was grey and the light was nowhere to be found.

After observing for a while, Camilla felt a little tired. Compared with the steel-like body of a formal knight, her body was unimaginably weak!

So, he said to Surtel who was holding her quietly.

"Okay, take me back... Thank you..."

"Um……"

Surtel nodded, then took him back to the stone house and carefully placed him on the only bed in the house.

Camilla was silent for a long time before speaking to Surtel who was watching him quietly.

"Sartre, tell me... about Helheim. I've forgotten how this place relates to your past..."

"Okay, Doctor!"

Surtel nodded, his lips slightly pursed in a smile.

The doctor's condition was obviously much better than before, and he was even in high spirits to chat with her...

She sorted out her words a bit and then slowly narrated.

"Helheim is a land of eternal night, shrouded in thick fog year-round, and the climate is cold..."

……

Chapter 204: Blade Master Tower Descends Deep into Death...

Surtel's memory is chaotic, with a large number of memories from different identities, perspectives and places mixed together. She herself finds it difficult to distinguish which ones are her real experiences.

In her memories of Helheim, she carries her two-handed sword, Levatin, and boards a large ship made of dead people's fingernails.

The large ship was anchored in the dark sea water, and a huge palace was vaguely visible in the distance.

There are dense corpses under the sea.

Everything in the memory is so bizarre, yet it seems... to really exist.

After listening to her story, Camilla couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

These things always sounded strangely familiar... Did he hear about them from Surtel, or... did he hear about them from somewhere else?

Could the key to his escape from this illusion be in that huge ship made of fingernails?

Perhaps, more important than these legendary things, Surtel was the one who brought about this hallucination...
