When the plot-skips players into the game world-Chapter 1317 - 40 Olifant, "A Dream Well Dreamed

As Hebashia’s workshop, there really are quite a few good things here.

Although there was no other Codex Book found... perhaps she didn’t keep those things in the workshop at all. After all, since she descended to the Lower Realm, she never returned to the workshop and brought her secret collection to the Material Realm.

"Is this... a horn made from a Unicorn’s horn? And this crystal dreamcatcher..."

Arsene looked at the items Aiwass picked out, somewhat skeptical, "Is this really the best stuff? I saw Molua Grass and a Phoenix Bone. I remember Molua Grass can be used to make a reviving potion, right? And this Phoenix Bone..."

"Extracted Phoenix Marrow, also used for reviving someone."

Aiwass checked the treasures Arsene had collected and commented, "Those are materials, and only Phantom Demons can touch them. If we touch them, they’ll just get destroyed, so let’s leave them here for now—these two pieces of equipment should be the most valuable items."

"Do you want me to appraise them?"

Sherlock, casually searching the room, asked offhandedly.

"No need..."

Aiwass replied casually, reaching out to gently grasp the two items, "Because I recognize them."

—As expected, a system panel floated in front of him:

[Olifant]

[Transcendent Accessory (Deep Purple)]

[Accessory - Instrument - Horn]

[Extraordinary Trait: When this horn is blown, everyone who hears it cannot escape the battlefield; all friendly forces who hear the horn gain "Undying," lasting until sunset; this horn self-destructs after six uses (remaining uses: 5)]

[Undying: When taking lethal damage, if the damage does not exceed 10% of maximum health, restore health equal to 10% of maximum health and temporarily reduce the maximum health by 10%. This state ends early when health is restored to above 50%]

["A Good Dream," huh?]

[Divine Accessory (Pale Gold)]

[Accessory - Dreamcatcher]

[Trait: Hanging this dreamcatcher above the bed ensures that you will enter the Dream Realm—Ocean of Melancholy during dreaming]

[Trait: Hanging this dreamcatcher above the bed grants you the complete memory of your dreams]

[Extraordinary Trait: By using this dreamcatcher to enter the Dream Realm, your soul won’t be damaged upon death in the Dream Realm, but you’ll temporarily lose the ability to dream, lasting from three days to three years]

[Divine Trait: By using this dreamcatcher to enter the Dream Realm, gain "Forbidden Body"]

[Forbidden Body: Your race is considered "Sea Monster," all other Path Powers are sealed, temporarily lose rationality and speech ability, gain temporary Taboo Path Energy Level equal to intended Path maximum Energy Level +1, maximum health +1000%, only retain "water" attribute in the Mana Pool, mana considered infinite]

—These two pieces of equipment, one is a Divine Artifact, the other is also comparable to a Divine Artifact.

The former horn, though seemingly ordinary and only having a purple-grade trait... is no less valuable than the latter.

It’s a theoretical "Undying" with a duration of up to one day!

The ability "Undying" comes from the Path of Adaptation. Hunters or Pharmacists on the Path of Adaptation can use specific potions to enter this particular state for a short time. Thus, they don’t easily die when taking lethal damage. A well-utilized Undying can withstand at least three lethal damages.

And this is a legion-level "Undying"!

No cost, no consumption, no usage threshold, no Path restriction—the only regret is the five uses limit.

Even if Aiwass himself can’t use it, he could sell it. Even Angel Envoys or Celestial Marshals would bid high for it... that’s probably why Hebashia stored it. She must have paid a considerable price to purchase this horn.

As for the latter—that’s a crystal of Taboo Path power. Judging by its pale gold color, it should at least be the crystallization of a Celestial Marshal-level Sea Monster after its death.

Aiwass had a deep impression of this item because it appeared in a future main quest.

Hebashia’s workshop, much like the research institutions of the Light Country, was prone to theft. This item once drifted to the Material Realm and was somehow purchased by a Benevolent Lord—it seems because he liked the "smell of seawater" on it. Despite the Abyssal Celestial Envoy causing massive destruction, it allowed the Parthians to witness an ocean they could never have seen in their lifetime, leading some to revere the Abyssal Celestial Envoy who destroyed their homeland.

—The result was this Benevolent Lord transforming into a Sea Monster each night, devouring Phantom Demons and other Sea Monsters in his dreams. His soul grew at an incredible pace, becoming unbelievably strong, eventually consuming a Celestial Marshal-level Sea Monster.

Of course... his soul was entirely corrupted by these Phantom Demon fragments.

At some unknown point, his consciousness fused with those Phantom Demons he devoured. Though he couldn’t be killed in dreams, he could be assimilated. When he devoured the Sea Monster, perhaps the Sea Monster devoured him too.

This item... Aiwass couldn’t figure out how to use it either.

It’s just too dangerous. If the user is killed in the dream, it’s fine; if not, they’d inevitably immerse in that freedom and power, gradually growing scales and turning into a Fishman-headed.

And if one understands the effects of these two powerful items, they might realize the commonality among the other materials.

[Olifant] can extend a person’s life by a day; ["A Good Dream"] can ensure one doesn’t die in dreams. Phoenix Marrow grants the power of rebirth, while Molua Grass is a reviving potion’s ingredient. The other materials hanging on the walls are much the same... either used for life preservation, resurrection, petrification, or sealing.

Clearly, these things are used to extend her daughter’s life.

Just like the dolls she made—

Really racking her brains and sparing no means...

...Oh right.

Aiwass had a sudden inspiration.

Although asking others would mean exposing Hebashia’s attempt to breach a taboo... there was one exception.

—That is the Lord of Scalefeather.

As the Pillar God with whom Aiwass signed an Advanced Divine Art contract, everything Aiwass experienced couldn’t be hidden from Him. Furthermore, His forte was prophecy... Meanwhile, being the Pillar God on the Path of Adaptation, what He most encouraged was "adapting to the world by any means." Figuring out how to survive or revive, though tinged with a bit of dusk, aligned more with the concept of the Path of Adaptation.

So, even though Hebashia would violate the Hourglass’s secret, she would be favored by the Lord of Scalefeather. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Moreover, the Lord of Scalefeather already knew Aiwass and his companions would come here...

With this in mind, Aiwass directly asked, "Boss?"

"Hmm?"

The voice of the Lord of Scalefeather echoed from behind them.
