Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Unlucky Traveler, You’re Just the Safeguard_1 Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Unlucky Traveler, You’re Just the Safeguard_1 In the depths of a dark alleyway.
Inside a small and low house.
A man dressed in black, Tyr, kneeled below, as another similarly dressed figure lood above him, scolding furiously:
“Useless! You deadbeat, I even lent you the Dreamland Wand, as long as you use it while she’s asleep, that girl would have followed you on her own. Can’t you even handle sothing so simple?”
Tyr hurriedly explained, “My Lord, it’s all the fault of those two subordinates of mine, they betrayed and…”
“I don’t want to hear it! Where’s my Dreamland Wand?”
“…I lost it there.”
The atmosphere in the house instantly quieted down.
“Damn it all! Get lost! If it weren’t for the fact that you’re a relative of the Bishop, you would have been chopped up and fed to the dogs by now!”

[Ding! Your Free Quest: No Longer a Solitary Journey, completion 50%, is in progress…]
[Description: You’ve gained the recognition of two Beast Eared Girls, now it’s ti to invite them to join you on your journey of exploring this world!]
[Reward: Cradle to the Nest (Gold/Legend/Unique)]
Luo Xi watched the man in the fat black robe who lay motionless on the ground and wanted to burst into laughter.
How dare he attempt to steal his Cat Cat, now he knows the consequences, doesn’t he?
But soon, his sense of triumph sank.
Compared to these black-robed n whose strength wasn’t too formidable, the Rat King was the biggest problem.
Moreover, from the Rat King, he had learned that there was at least one other being of a similar magnitude.
For them, Wei’er must be a crucial node in their plans; otherwise, the Rat King and that hidden figure behind the scenes wouldn’t have gone to such lengths over Cat Cat.
[Ding! Synchronization ti remaining: 0 seconds]
[Traveler, we welco you to co again~]
Luo Xi felt his mind go blank, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back in his dorm room.
The snoring of his two roommates was still thunderously loud.
[Traveler, the side effects of your talent have activated, you are temporarily unable to move]
[Your body stiffens, and you suddenly fall to the ground]
[Wei’er and Aina watch you in a panic]
[You signal that you’re just drained, temporarily unable to move, but the two Beast Eared Girls don’t seem to believe you]
[Speed up recovery?]
[Yes]
X10.
[After 156 seconds, Traveler, you are able to move again]
[Seeing you get up normally, the two cat-eared girls let out a sigh of relief]
Luo Xi decides that he should use his ability in the state of anger less in the future.
Although Imrsion while angry is indeed powerful, the side effects are problematic, leaving one quite vulnerable post-use.
[Traveler, you glance at the corner of the wall and ask, “Cat Cat, do you know who they are?”]
[“I’ll check.” Wei’er walks over to inspect the man in the black robe on the ground]
[The face hidden beneath the black veil has beco a blur of flesh, seemingly with countless tiny flesh buds writhing on it]
[The cat-eared girl’s expression reveals a hint of horror, “The Church of Truth!”]
[“The Church of Truth?”]
[Wei’er speaks gravely, “This is a heretical cult group wanted by all major powers. Their doctrine is truth and eternity, but their actions are the complete opposite of their teachings. The chaos and disaster in many places are instigated by them. Everyone in this group is almost insane, and no one knows what they’re really thinking.”]
[“But why would they target ? What could possibly make the Church of Truth take note of ?”]
[The cat-eared girl falls into contemplation…]
[Traveler, you walk over and pick up the wand lying beside the man in the black robe. The wand is very ornate, with a purple gemstone embedded at the top]
[Ding! You have obtained the Dreamland Wand]
[Dreamland Wand]
[Quality: Blue (Rare)]
[Category: Wand-type Weapon]
[Attributes: All skill damage 30%—120% (According to the user’s tier, different damage bonuses can be obtained), your casting speed 30%, your skill cooldown ti -10%]
[Added Skill: Puppet Dreamland, Poison Light Bomb]
[Puppet Dreamland: When used on a person of the sa tier as you or lower, it can make them obey your commands for half an hour, with a cooldown of 1 hour.]
[Poison Light Bomb: You can release a light bomb with strong toxicity, with a cooldown of 10s.]
[Description: The original owner of this wand didn’t understand its true use at all! Is this how you use hypnotic skills? Trash Traveler, it’s ti to show your true skill!]
Screw your true skill!
However, this added skill…
Luo Xi’s expression was sowhat strange.
The skill descriptions that ca with the wand indeed reminded him of certain scenes from strange shows that only existed in reality and which couldn’t be described in detail.
But was he that kind of person?
[Wei’er glanced at it and said, “Just the Purple Color purified Essence Crystal on this wand is probably very expensive. If sold in the black market, I estimate it would fetch at least 2000 pounds of Essence Crystal, which could be sold for about twenty thousand gold coins.”]
[“How strange, they spent so much to get this thing to catch , why didn’t they send more capable people?”]
[Ding! Your Shock Value 30]
[A minor monster, actually dropped such a valuable equipnt]
[Is this what they call a turn of fortune?]
[Note: Traveler, this is called the bottom line. Having had bad luck for so many days, you should finally have a stroke of good luck.]
Luo Xi: “…”
[Traveler, you ask, “Can I put it away first? I want to research it.”]
[“Do as you wish.”]
[Obviously, Cat Cat is not very interested in this wand, even though it could sell for a lot of money.]
[It makes sense considering they have so many precious scrolls hidden at ho. Yet, even though life is tough, Wei’er and Aina have never thought about selling those scrolls.]
[Ding! You have put the Dreamland Wand into your Dreamland Satchel.]
[Wei’er was stunned for a second as the wand disappeared in your hand.]
[“Where did you make the wand disappear to?”]
[Ding! Wei’er’s Confusion Value 30]
[Wei’er spoke faintly, “My childhood drawings and that wand, you’ve placed them sowhere too, haven’t you?”]
[You did not hide the truth: “Yes.”]
[“Is this your Mutation ability?”]
[“No, it’s probably more like a built-in feature.”]
[Wei’er looked confused.]
[“Forget it.” Wei’er relaxed her furrowed brows and said, “I’ll just trust you for now.”]
[Traveler, it’s ti to extend an invitation.]
[You spoke up, “Things here will likely get ssy, do you want to leave this place with ?”]
[“Yes, yes!”]
[Little Aina agreed to your invitation without hesitation.]
[Wei’er’s eyes flickered for a mont, “I can’t leave just yet.”]
[Traveler, you know the reason Wei’er doesn’t want to leave is probably related to her mother’s disappearance.]
[But you also know that if Cat Cat continues to investigate around Grey Stone Street, the outco waiting for her will definitely not be good.]
[“I know what you’re worried about.”]
[Wei’er shook her head, saying bitterly, “Even if we choose to leave now, we won’t be able to reach a nearby city in a short ti.”]
[“Not to ntion the Origin Disaster that will co tomorrow, the wilderness has already turned into the Snow Field. The nearest village is also more than a dozen kiloters away from here, we’ll beco prey for those Origin Beasts on the road.”]
[“Besides, do you think if they’re really targeting , leaving Grey Stone Street now would be useful?”]
[“Sister…” Hearing this, Aina gripped Wei’er’s hand tightly.]
