Chapter 344: Alice's Adventures

Chapter 344: Alice's Dream Journey

A strange expression flickered across Li Wei's face.

The expert Alice sought had not arrived, yet the hope she desired had come.

"Could it be that I am becoming the expert spoken of by Alice?"

This counted as a fortunate accident.

Li Wei possessed the Great Dream Wandering Art, allowing him to enter the dream world.

He was not the expert Alice was seeking.

However, there was still hope he could become the "expert" who saved her from the dream world.

Li Wei knew Alice had been waiting for the "Weaver of Dreams" from Maple City to help.

He felt a touch of strangeness; why did Alice believe the Weaver would come to aid her upon seeing the Crystal Flower?

Did Alice know the Weaver personally?

Yet according to Bella, Alice knew nothing of the Weaver's true identity.

Wait... true identity?

That meant Alice had met the Weaver before, perhaps even shared an intricate relationship with them.

She simply did not know the Weaver's true name.

In that case, it could explain why Alice believed the Weaver would return to help after seeing the Crystal Flower.

But these reasons were still insufficient.

The most crucial factor was what item Alice held that could attract the "Weaver of Dreams" to act.

Relying solely on so-called "friendship," Li Wei found it unlikely.

Alice didn't even know the other party's true identity; clearly, their relationship wasn't as good as imagined.

They were merely acquaintances.

Li Wei looked at Alice, guessing she might hold something the Weaver valued highly.

A sudden spark lit up within his mind.

He recalled a certain matter.

Back when they were inside Flying Flower City, he had heard Rota recount legends of the city's past.

The legend of the Goddess of Hundred Flowers.

Alice was the only one capable of contacting the Goddess of Hundred Flowers.

Kira had also been seeking that mysterious power residing within Alice.

If nothing unexpected occurred, then the thing attracting the Weaver must be the "Goddess of Hundred Flowers."

Everything seemed to have become clear.

Li Wei was also curious about who this Weaver of Dreams from Maple City truly was?

When he once intervened to save numerous mages within the Magic Tower, it suggested the Weaver's relationship with the Tower might be quite good.

There was actually a suspect in his heart.

All signs pointed toward that person.

Yet Li Wei still lacked evidence.

Bella looked at everyone and said, "With so many of us now, we should be able to safely escort the Lord Mayor out of the Poison Dragon Den."

"As long as we leave the Poison Dragon Den, we can take the Lord Mayor to Maple City to find an expert and lift the nightmare curse."

"At that time, the Lord Mayor will awaken."

Li Wei waved his hand and said, "No need for such trouble; let me try instead, perhaps I can awaken Lady Mayor Alice."

Everyone turned to look at Li Wei, expressions full of surprise.

Kuri Stiman exclaimed in shock, "Could you be the very expert the Lord Mayor has been waiting for?"

Li Wei shook his head and said, "Not me; I merely happen to possess some special abilities."

Evelyn looked at Li Wei and chose to trust him.

"Then I entrust everything to you."

Li Wei said, "Find me a bed; I may need to sleep for a while."

Lilith looked at Li Wei, deep in thought.

She asked, "Are you a Dream Walker?"

Li Wei looked at her, somewhat surprised, "Hmm, are you too?"

Lilith shook her head and said, "I do not know; I only heard my master speak of it."

Thinking of the unknown strength of Haros, Li Wei was not too surprised that Haros knew of the existence of Dream Walkers.

Although the Elemental Tower stipulated that Dream Walkers must not reveal matters of the dream world to outsiders.

However, the high-ranking officials of the Elemental Tower were actually aware of these things.

The so-called ignorance belonged only to the ordinary mage group within the Elemental Tower.

Mages who could truly reach the core of the high ranks would, to some extent, know some secret matters within the Elemental Tower.

As a member of the Sunlight Research Group within the Hall of Truth, Li Wei knew many very secret matters within the Elemental Tower.

These matters might seem common to him.

But for outsiders, they were top-secret information. For instance, the origins and might of the Radiant Sun.

To this day, the vast majority of mages still do not know what the power Li Wei used to destroy the Bone Bridge was.

They only knew that power was extremely strong and particularly effective against the undead.

Nothing else was known.

Soon, Kuri Stiman prepared a bed for Li Wei.

Originally, Li Wei had only asked him to find an empty room.

Unexpectedly, Kuri Stiman set up a bed frame right beside Alice.

"Mage Li Wei, the rest is entrusted to you."

Kuri Stiman said with a face full of expectation.

Li Wei said, "Do not harbor too much hope; I am only trying."

Bella said, "You may try freely without hesitation; the Lord Mayor is protected by the Goddess of Hundred Flowers, she will not suffer any fatal harm."

Li Wei was somewhat surprised.

He remembered the power that erupted within Evelyn's body when she was near death.

That was merely a small portion of power bestowed by the Goddess of Hundred Flowers to her chosen ones.

It is highly probable that Alice retains the complete power of the Goddess of Hundred Flowers within her.

Then what Bella said must indeed be true.

Though Alice would not sustain fatal injuries, the predicament she currently faces is being trapped within a dream.

Perhaps the mastermind behind the assault also knows Alice is hard to kill.

Hence, they chose to imprison her within the dream world.

Levi lay upon the bed beside Alice, closed his eyes, and entered the dream world.

His consciousness sank deep into the dream realm.

Levi arrived inside the dream cottage.

Approaching the door, he pushed it open; the sight beyond surprised Levi somewhat.

Beyond the door lay the high sky; his safe cottage had become a carriage soaring through the heavens.

Stepping out, Levi felt the wind whistling past his ears, fierce gales blowing ceaselessly.

He cast his gaze downward, seeing a vast world beneath.

This was the first time Levi had ever encountered such a circumstance.

Having left the safe cottage, he immediately entered the dream bubble.

With a mere thought, he sensed he retained some measure of control over the local dreamscape.

Under his command, the carriage began its descent toward the earth.

He spotted a castle upon the mountainside.

Instinctively, he flew in that direction.

Thud!

The carriage touched down, and Levi stepped out.

Glancing back, he realized the entire carriage was shaped like a pumpkin.

It was a pumpkin carriage.

Once Levi departed the safe house, it vanished into thin air.

He turned his gaze to the black castle nearby.

Striding forward, he walked toward the castle.

"Is anyone there?"

Levi rapped upon the castle gates.

A head emerged from the castle ramparts.

"Who are you? Why have you come here?"

Levi looked upward.

He saw the figure atop the wall was a paper soldier guard.

"I seek Alice; do you know where she is?"

Levi spoke aloud.

Upon hearing this, the paper soldier guard replied, "You speak of Princess Alice?"

Levi hesitated, nodding, "Indeed, that very beautiful princess."

"Young warrior, your arrival is most welcome."

"Princess Alice has been abducted by an evil dragon; the King requires you to vanquish the beast and rescue the princess."
