Chapter 135 War in the Mythical Age
"Holy crap, I'm actually starting to get used to it."
Looking at this grassland that was both familiar and unfamiliar, even the good-tempered Tang Zijun couldn't help but swear.
After saying that, he shook his head helplessly.
This familiar grassland is none other than the last place where Tang Zijun stayed in the dream world. Even the footprints he left on the ground are still clearly visible here.
However, there didn't seem to be any red-robed figures nearby, so they probably ran away. That thing was too eerie and seemed to be afraid of me.
After realizing his location, Tang Zijun was no longer as panicked as before. On the contrary, he was quite curious about the situation here.
After all, he found the mirror core and the dark crystal here, and even the rainbow crystal flower. Heaven knows what else this strange world has to offer.
Moreover, the red-robed figure had been very cooperative (not really) in taking him away from the forest last time. Now, looking at the outline of a city clearly visible at the edge of the horizon, Tang Zijun also wanted to experience the civilization of this world.
Just as Tang Zijun was about to take a step...
"Aaaaaahh ...
The girl's piercing scream almost pierced Tang Zijun's eardrums.
Tang Zijun was so frightened that he almost punched him. Fortunately, he reacted in time and turned around, only to see Hyacinthus hugging her body with a look of horror on her face.
"Alright, alright, stop yelling. You're going to go deaf, you know that?"
"Where am I? How did I get here?!" Hyacinth looked at Tang Zijun in shock.
Anyone who was in a warm flower shop one second and suddenly found themselves in a strange and unfamiliar world the next would find it impossible to remain calm, let alone with the pervasive smell of blood in the air.
"This...this place...it shouldn't be the reverse world, right?"
"Of course not." Tang Zijun guessed that Hyacinth had misunderstood; she probably thought that she was the one who dragged her into this. "Didn't I take you to the Reverse World? Have you forgotten?"
"Where is this place? The magic here makes me feel so uncomfortable." The hyacinth trembled and struggled to land on Tang Zijun's shoulder.
Tang Zijun didn't feel anything special about the environment, but it was normal for Hyacinth to be more sensitive to magic since she was a flower fairy. This place was obviously not a good place to be in harmony with nature.
"This is the dream world, have you heard of it?" Tang Zijun replied casually.
What he wants to know most right now is why the hyacinth was born into this world with him.
Although Qin Nan and Xiao Hui had previously been pulled into the dream world along with him, that was an accident, because they were discussing things related to dreams.
But things are different now. Tang Zijun didn't say anything and didn't provoke the dream world at all. And most importantly, if the other party's target was herself, why was Hyacinth also brought in?
What puzzled Tang Zijun even more was that if it was a large-scale recruitment drive, why wasn't Xiao Qing, who was standing next to Hyacinth, recruited?
"A dream, a dream world?!"
Hyacinth almost burst into tears upon hearing Tang Zijun's words.
"You know this place?" Tang Zijun's eyes lit up, and her face lit up with joy.
He had always been curious about this world, but he had no suitable answer to his questions. Even Chang Lei only had a vague understanding of it.
It would be wonderful if the hyacinth could answer some questions about this world.
Hyacinth thought for a moment, then said timidly, "I don't really know much about it either; I've just heard elders talk about this place before."
"Legend has it that the dream world is a magical world that transcends reality. The life forms here possess extraordinary power and are extremely terrifying. In earlier years, they even waged war against the real world."
"A war broke out? When did that happen?!" Tang Zijun couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Uh, I don't remember very well either. I was dozing off at the time."
"You," Tang Zijun almost choked, unable to catch her breath.
This is such an important lesson, so pay attention!
"I took it as a story. I never imagined I would end up in this place." Hyacinth knew she had made a mistake, and she quickly racked her brains to recall.
"Hmm, I only remember that it seems to be related to Morpheus."
One day, the stars dimmed, and all the monsters of the world hid themselves. Zeus lit the sacred fire on Mount Olympus, but it illuminated the shadows in the darkness.
Morpheus brought news from another dimension: a ferocious beast born of nightmares, emerging from nothingness and spreading extreme evil that even the gods found in awe.
Apollo was the first to join the battle; his chariot fell from the sky, engulfed in raging flames, and crashed into the Temple of Hermes like a fireball.
When those invisible monsters materialized, the Olympian gods were already prepared for battle.
"And then?" Tang Zijun asked as she listened to Hyacinth fall silent.
"Then I fell asleep." Hyacinth touched her index fingers together, then lowered her head somewhat shyly. "But I must have won, otherwise reality would have been ruined long ago."
"."
Tang Zijun never expected that the "a few years ago" that Hyacinth mentioned actually referred to events from the mythological era. Indeed, for immortal beings, the concept of time is rather vague.
When Tang Zijun first heard the name Morpheus, she was a little confused, but when she heard the names Zeus and the Olympian gods, she immediately understood.
The war that Hyacinth spoke of must have been a battle in ancient times, fought between the Greek gods of the Olympus realm and unknown beings from the dream world.
This Morpheus is most likely the Greek god of dreams. He was the son of Hypnos, the god of sleep, and the legendary god who controlled dreams and could transform into any form in dreams.
However, although it is called the God of Dreams, it seems that the authority of this "god" has not been able to extend to the real dream world. Similar to the real world, this so-called dream world is an extremely vast dimension, and it is above reality.
The final result was naturally a victory for the Greek gods. As Hyacinth said, if they had lost, the real world should have been destroyed by the monsters of the dream world long ago.
However, what Tang Zijun couldn't understand was why the existence of the dream world would descend into the real world, what their purpose was, and what role the ancient gods played in it.
Why did the Olympian gods participate in the war? Why are there no records of this in other secret realms or divine domains?
Of course, perhaps other gods also participated in the war, but he just didn't know about it. But no matter what, these details are something Tang Zijun cannot delve into now.
As Tang Zijun pondered, Hyacinth leaned closer to his face. "Wolf Rider, how do we get back now?"
"I want to know the answer to this question just like you," Tang Zijun rolled her eyes at her.
The latest novel is first published here!
Hyacinth was getting anxious. "The Tree of Life is badly damaged, and everyone is waiting for me to bring back reinforcements. What should I do?"
Sensing the urgency in Hyacinth's tone, Tang Zijun was at a loss, but he did notice a key point. "Call for reinforcements? Call for what reinforcements?"
Tang Zijun suddenly thought of a question she had overlooked: why were the hyacinths in the fog?
At that time, he and Chang Lei had indeed entered the secret realm of the Tree Crown King City. Although they did not actually see the tree, they were no longer in the real world.
So here's the question: although the barrier of the secret realm has broken, the barrier of the Tree Crown Royal City is still there. Logically speaking, the heretical demons shouldn't be able to break through there in a short time, so why did Hyacinth run out from a safe place?
Or, to put it another way, who is the "helper" she wants to call upon?
Those who are greedy are definitely not the answer; in their eyes, greedy people are evil beings just like heretics and demons.
Magical girls are not right either; Hyacinth had no idea of their existence when she met Mr. Qingnang.
So, aside from these options, the only possible thing is probably...
"Humans!"
Hyacinth said earnestly.
Tang Zijun slapped her forehead.
Got it.
it is as expected.
Because Tang Zijun was wearing a helmet, Hyacinth couldn't see Tang Zijun's current expression, so she just continued speaking.
"I know we haven't had any contact with real-world humans for a long time, but we have no other choice when faced with something like this."
"Mr. Qin said that humanity has long since stood up. Today's humans are no longer as ignorant as they used to be. They are strong, diligent, righteous, and dare to confront any evil creature!"
"I didn't know Mr. Qin had passed away, but I'm willing to believe his words: as long as we can find humans, as long as we can seek help, we will definitely defeat the heretical demons!"
Beneath the mask, looking at Hyacinth's earnest and stubborn face, Tang Zijun fell silent for a moment.
This guy.
That's really a bit too naive.
Should they turn to humans for help? Perhaps that's one way, since the flower fairies, isolated and helpless, have no other choice.
Moreover, what Elder Qin said is not wrong. Humanity has indeed stood up long ago. Perhaps the human body is too weak for supernatural beings and evil creatures, but with the advancement of technology, war has long transcended the physical.
Heretic demon?
How many masters does a heretical sect have?
But then again, whether they are heretics or greedy people, these evil creatures are born from the evil thoughts in human nature.
This means that humans can indeed help the Flower Fairy defeat the invasion of Sir Skeleton, but there will inevitably be humans with ulterior motives among them.
Furthermore, once humans join the war, the profession of magical girl will be completely exposed to the public eye, and things will probably become even more complicated then.
Thinking of this, Tang Zijun let out a long, weary sigh.
"Alright, let's think about how to get back first."
"Do you have a solution?" Hyacinth asked playfully.
"without."
Tang Zijun shook his head slightly, then raised his hand and pointed to the outline of the city on the distant horizon.
"Maybe we can try our luck there."
