872: Chapter 865: Heeding the Call 872: Chapter 865: Heeding the Call “What happened to ?” Luo’er asked with a hoarse voice.
“Thank heavens, you’re finally alright,” Tangmo said, her face showing delight, but her voice carried a hoarse cry.
Luo’er looked around.
The tent was filled with sleeping bags, but most of them were empty.
Not far away, a Magic Crystal Lamp was lit, its dim cold light filling the room.
Cheng Ziang leaned against the corner of the wall, watching him with cold eyes, trying to regulate his rapid breathing.
Feng stood to the side, holding a knife and looking at him with concern.
Luo’er glanced to his side and saw Eve sitting on a sleeping bag not far to his left, her face etched with worry as she looked at him.
Luo’er tried to move but realized that his hands were tucked into Tangmo’s armpits.
He withdrew them sowhat awkwardly, only to find that his hands were sore and aching.
“What on earth happened to ?” Luo’er, having regained so strength, couldn’t help but ask again.
“What happened?
You almost lost your life, that’s what.
You’re quite sothing, wandering outside in the middle of the night.
If Fulajie’er hadn’t co back to report, you would have been frozen solid,” Cheng Ziang said with a roll of his eyes and a listless voice.
“I, went outside?” Luo’er frowned, not understanding Cheng Ziang’s aning, but at the mont he couldn’t rember what he had just done.
“Luo’er, you were sleepwalking just now.
No matter how much Fula called you, you wouldn’t listen.
We had a hard ti dragging you back.
Otherwise, you would have fallen into the ice hole on the river surface,” Tangmo said with lingering fear.
“I sleepwalked?
What exactly happened?” Luo’er asked, completely baffled.
Just as Tangmo was about to answer, two figures walked in from outside, Hu Daoke and Baiyue.
Upon seeing Cheng Ziang, Hu Daoke imdiately reported, “The ice hole has been sealed by Yue’er’s Frost Series magic.
I just tested it, and you can walk on it without worrying about falling through.”
After speaking, Hu Daoke turned his head and saw Luo’er awake, exclaiming in surprise, “Boss, you’re finally awake.
Good heavens, do you know what you just did?
You sleepwalked out there all by yourself.
Xiao Fula called you but you didn’t listen.
Thankfully, she used a protective shield spell to stop you, and then we dragged you back.
Otherwise, you would have fallen into that ice hole we made today.”
“Was it you guys who dragged back?” Luo’er was startled, instantly feeling a sense of clarity.
“Yeah,” Hu Daoke said, slapping his fist, “no matter how much we called you, you didn’t listen.
You were crying and shouting as we pulled you.
Look, now your throat is hoarse, isn’t it?”
Luo’er coughed once and indeed found his throat dry and uncomfortable, corroborating Hu Daoke’s statent.
“Why would I sleepwalk?
I’ve never had a habit of sleepwalking…” Luo’er scratched his head, frowning in perplexity.
“Could it be because of the stress lately?
I’ve felt that sothing was off with you since this afternoon,” Cheng Ziang analyzed.
“I rember I had a strange dream.
Everything that just happened was reflected in my dream,” Luo’er said with his head lowered, reflecting.
“What did you dream about?” Cheng Ziang pressed on.
“I dread of…” Luo’er squinted as he thought for a mont and then recounted the general plot of his dream.
Of course, he deliberately avoided the part about Tangmo holding a child, because the implication was too obvious.
“You dread of Aunt Nina, then you followed her out of the door, struggled through the snow and ice, and saw a goddess floating in mid-air,” Cheng Ziang said, frowning as he analyzed Luo’er’s dream.
“Was the goddess beautiful?” Hu Daoke asked Luo’er with a twinkle in his eye.
“Can’t say she wasn’t beautiful because she looked like my mother,” Luo’er replied, scratching his head.
“The goddess looked like Aunt Nina?” Hu Daoke asked, puzzled, “Did Aunt Nina turn into the goddess?”
“No, my mother is still waiting for .
She was standing below the goddess, waiting for to co over.
She stood on a lake…” Luo’er recollected.
“Wait, you an Aunt Nina was floating on the lake, is that what you’re saying?” Hu Daoke asked in surprise.
With such a glaring mistake, how could you not realize sothing was wrong?” Cheng Ziang couldn’t help but ask.
“I was thinking about other things at the ti, and my mind was a ss,” Luo’er replied truthfully.
“What were you thinking about?” Cheng Ziang asked.
“I…
I’ve seen that goddess sowhere else,” Luo’er answered, furrowing his brows.
“Seen her?” Cheng Ziang paused, exchanged a look with Hu Daoke, and continued to press, “Where did you see her?”
“In, in, in…” Luo’er’s face tensed as he struggled to search through his mories, which had seed organized just a mont ago but beca fragnted the instant he awoke.
“In Divine Wood Down, when I woke up!” Luo’er finally rembered and blurted out.
“Divine Wood Down…” Everyone murmured in unison, Tangmo was the first to react, “I rember now, at that ti, Luo’er had fallen into a coma, and it was thanks to the priest of Divine Wood Down that he was awakened.”
“Right, right, right, I also rember now, at that ti, the boss seed to have been knocked unconscious by his sister, auntie said, sothing, sothing about a calling from Tana that could awaken him…”
“Tana’s calling!!” Upon hearing these words, Eve, who had been silent all this ti, suddenly exclaid in shock.
“You know Tana?” Cheng Ziang asked, looking towards her.
“Of course she does,” Baiyue explained on behalf of Eve, “She is a Snow Elf, and just like the Wood Elves, they worship the sa main god.”
Eve ignored everyone else and asked Luo’er with a serious face: “Luo’er, the goddess you t, was she wearing a robe, bearing a striking resemblance to soone you are very close to, and radiating a halo all around her?”
“How do you know?” Luo’er asked, taken aback.
Indeed, just like she described, the two tis Luo’er t that goddess, her appearance was very similar to Nina, and her attire hadn’t changed at all.
“You weren’t sleepwalking,” Eve muttered more to herself, “It was Tana calling you…”
“Tana is calling ?” Luo’er said in astonishnt.
“Luo’er, have you ever died?” Eve asked thoughtfully.
“What kind of question is that?
If the boss had died, then who is the person in front of us now?” Hu Daoke couldn’t help but interject.
“Died,” Luo’er nodded, and then answered seriously, “At that ti, my mother tried to save by taking back to Divine Wood Down, and in the end, it was the priest of Divine Wood Down who woke up.”
Eve’s question aid to find out whether Luo’er had been in a state of apparent death, and indeed, Luo’er had entered such a state due to the attack by Luoya, with his mother Nina carrying him into it, only for the priest of Divine Wood Down to wake him up eventually.
“Then there’s no mistake,” Eve nodded, then looked earnestly at Luo’er and said, “This ans you have received Tana’s protection, which is why you could feel her calling.”
“Do you know anything else?” Baiyue asked with a frown and a stern face.
“No, I don’t have much detail on the specifics, but if you have ti, I could take you to et an elder.
A Snow Elf elder, she was my mother’s teacher, living in Snow Domain,” Eve answered.
“This is unnecessary.” Being a Materialist, Luo’er never believed in all these bizarre things.
“No, it is necessary!” Cheng Ziang suddenly interjected sternly.
“Why?” Hu Daoke turned around and asked him.
Chen Ziang glanced at him and then looked at Luo’er, saying coldly, “Do you all rember, in Luo’er’s description, his mother and the goddess were floating above a lake, waiting for his arrival.
Considering our recent experience, the lake in Luo’er’s dream could very well be the ice hole we dug this afternoon, which ans…”
“Which ans Tana wants to lure Luo’er into falling into that ice hole, she’s after Luo’er’s life!” Baiyue finished coldly.
