At the same time, the king of the dream country, the creator of mortal imagination, the fourth eldest of the Endless Family, this is talking about a person, he is walking.His butler, Lucian, the librarian, hadn't seen him for a few hours, but the pointy-eared middle-aged goblin wasn't worried, still using a small feather duster to clean the ashes from the vases in the castle.Because the butler knows that his master never sleeps, he prefers to wander around and look at other people's dreams, or the dreams of other things.A dog's dream?
A dream of a stone?
A dream of a drop of water?
Who knows, dreams are free, and no one can fully control their dreams.Today's dream country is calm, the battle between the old and the new gods has not affected this ideal country too much, the starry sky in the castle is still beautiful, and the palm trees hanging from the ceiling still grow crystal transparent coconuts.Brain teasers!
When do palms grow coconuts?
The answer is simple, when in a dream.The Sandman's castle is like this, except for the main hall and the library, which are relatively in line with the perception of human architecture, the almost endless circular corridors, or the dining room full of all kinds of dream creations, are not a category that people can understand.It's a bit like the Corridor of Fate, but it's more chaotic and irregular."
Wash and scrub and scrub~" Mr.
Butler finished sweeping the vase, and put the duster on the side of the big glass cover to dance, this cover Wang Long toy, only the size of the palm, on weekdays to eat red bean pie.It's not a Sandman's pet, not even a living thing, but it's not a toy either, it's just a ghost that loves to eat red beans."
Tools, hats, shoes, knives, flutes, orange peels, um."
The butler turned his head to look at the corridor behind him, and he nodded with satisfaction: "I'm still talking to myself, which means that everything is in order and everything is fine." ”Lucian wasn't human, he was a fantasy creature, so he didn't understand, there were some things that couldn't be said casually.It's like being a soldier and not being able to say, 'I'll go home and get married after this battle,' and being a doctor can't say, 'I'm so free tonight' when you're on the night shift.Before he could finish speaking, the castle shook violently, and his pointed ears twitched, and the poor butler's face changed dramatically after he could identify the place where the shock had emanated.Dropping the feather duster in his hand, he took two long grasshopper-like legs and galloped through the castle, and the words in his mouth changed to himself, but he kept chanting: "Broken, broken, broken!"
”As he spoke, he ran into the basement and came to a coffin, where a fish leaped and pounced.The coffin was halfway open, and some of it seemed to be black, black smoke in the shape of peacock tail feathers was trying to emerge from the coffin, and he quickly held them down and stuffed them back into the coffin.His people also lay on the lid of the coffin, as if they were going to use their own weight to suppress these demons.Of course, he still had a bit of a B number in his heart about his combat effectiveness, so he shouted for help while pressing the coffin board: "Your Majesty!
Sandman, come here!
Something happened!
”As the steward of the castle, Lucian's position in the Land of Dreams can be said to be below one person and above ten thousand.Well, maybe that's not accurate, because the Sandman is not a person, countless Sandmans exist at the same time, but this has nothing to do with him being an old butler, anyway, any Sandman can come over.So when he asked for help, his master was always there right away, more efficient than any other deity."
What's the matter?
My faithful steward, I have said many times, don't shout in the castle, the clouds are blown away by you. ”A vine grew on the basement wall, and this vine bloomed one after another huge red flowers, and then the flowers were successfully pollinated and turned into fruits, and it grew strange fruits.Daniel's voice came from one of the apples, and he stepped out of it.As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed a black cloud that had just escaped, stuffed it into the coffin, and then closed the lid."
The Nightmare Box is open, and as soon as I arrive, I see it open, and something escapes!"
The butler touched the coffin, turned it into a huge box, hung four locks on it, and said bitterly and guiltily: "But what escaped?
Is it the path of nothingness?
I've never trusted it.Or is it the Endless Tooth?
Every time I check the box, it's eating itself" "No need to speculate, Lucian. ”The Sandman turned to look at the wall, but his gaze seemed to penetrate the wall and cast into the endless distance, and starlight was spinning in his pupils: "I know which nightmare is missing, and it is not an escape, nothing can escape the box, it was let go." ”Just as the butler opened his mouth to ask his majesty further what was going on, another voice rang out in the dimly lit basement with only starlight, and at the same time a hand reached out and plucked two fruits from the vine, one an orange and the other a banana."
Looks like I didn't come at the right time, you lost something in the castle?
Okay, I didn't take your. ”Knell's black and yellow armor emerged from the darkness, and the two fruits he had taken were just one for him and the strangler, and after he finished speaking, they were bitten and squeaked, and their dying cries were like rats.But it does taste good."
Oh, my lord, how did you get in?
Don't mess with me old guy at this time. ”The butler covered his face, took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, as if he was a little helpless about the uninvited death knell.But in comparison, the Sandman is much more polite, he knows how powerful the death knell is, and it is not surprising that a human being, who can already be regarded as one of the three poles at this time, appears anywhere."
Don't be rude, Lucian, go prepare tea and snacks, we have a nightmare that has gone missing, but it has nothing to do with the death knell."
So said the pale Sandman, who was wearing a white pajama today, and looked like a ghost who hadn't woken up, with a somewhat translucent feeling.The butler bowed slightly, and he left the basement to go to the kitchen to prepare, hoping that the teapot there had already boiled hot water for today."
Huh?
Got a nightmare that ran away?
”Su Ming's gaze turned to the box on the side, and then looked at the other coffins in the basement: "It's not a big deal, right?"
These nightmares captured by your family are more docile than the hares caught by hunters, and they are not dangerous, and they may come back when they have had enough. ”"The danger depends on who it is."
Daniel made a gesture of please, inviting Deathstroke to chat in the castle's newly-grown living room in the basement: "Nightmares are nothing to you, but they are too terrifying for ordinary humans.But you're right, dreams are also nightmares, and he will always come back. ”
