Chapter 1286 - 1158: Hard-to-Find Hope
Without the guidance of [Hope], someone else must awaken… it doesn't seem to have much impact?
After exchanging a glance with the Taurus Director, Leon asked:
"Besides that? Are there any other side effects?"
"There shouldn't be... right?"
Pisces Director thought for a moment, then said with some uncertainty:
"If you must say, it's just that she's wandered through too many different dreamscapes. Although her will is strong enough to not lose herself, she has indeed been significantly affected, making it easy to blur the boundaries between dreams and reality."
Can't distinguish between dreams and reality...
After listening to the Pisces Director, Leon slightly furrowed his brow, then turned to look at the young woman who had already awakened, and after considering his words, spoke:
"Miss Fredri, due to some reasons, most of the [Passages] to the Old Soil have been messed up, so if you want to go to the Old Soil soon, you might have to rely on the [Dream Butterfly] to walk out from the dream world, however…"
"Please let me go with you!"
Before Leon could finish, the young woman immediately understood his meaning and stood up from the bedside, a bit dizzy, first steadying herself by holding onto the bedside cabinet, then looking up at Leon with her clear black-and-white eyes:
"Director Amendo and Aries Director met with danger to help us, so if there's anything I can do, please don't hesitate! Because it's what I deserve!"
"???"
"Uh... her 'human' speech was just learned two months ago and isn't quite proficient yet."
Seeing the Taurus Director's somewhat confused expression, Leon's mouth twitched involuntarily, then explained helplessly:
"What she meant to say should be 'duty-bound,' but maybe she hasn't learned that word yet, and understood 'crime' as a kind of responsibility... Anyway, don't mind what exact word she used, just get the general context."
"..."
Alright…
Looking at the "deserved" Old Soil woman, the Taurus Director opened his mouth and found himself at a loss for words, so he decisively closed his mouth and nodded heavily at her.
"Then let's trouble you."
"You're too kind; it's what I should do."
Knowing she seemed to have used the wrong word again, Fredri's cheeks slightly reddened spontaneously before she bowed half-way to the Taurus Director and then cast a searching look at Leon.
"This is His Excellency Taurus, one of the twelve directors and the Master of Refining who is most adept among humans at handling abnormal items. Afterward, the adjustments for [Dream Butterfly] and the arrangement of supporting anomalies will all be managed by His Excellency Taurus."
Instinctively ignoring an elder with whom he has a mentor-disciple relationship, Leon briefly introduced the Taurus Director, then turned to look at the Pisces Director beside him.
"Excuse me..."
"Her chaotic spirit has just been sorted out and still needs further adjustment."
Similarly, guessing what Leon wanted to ask before he could speak, Pisces Director smiled from behind the veil and gestured an "OK" with her hand.
"About three days, after three days, you can set off."
Three days... not long at all, just enough for me to make some preparations and get familiar in advance with the use of [Dream Butterfly].
After nodding at the Pisces Director, Leon turned back towards the young woman and proactively spoke:
"Miss Fredri, please continue to recuperate well here; I'll come to fetch you in three days."
"Please wait a moment!"
Seeing Leon seemingly about to leave, the young woman swiftly reached out to hold onto the corner of his clothes, speaking her request:
"Mr. Leon, may I change to another place to recuperate?"
"?"
Seeing the young woman suddenly requesting a change of place, Leon and Taurus Director paused slightly before both turned their gazes towards the Pisces Director.
When we just arrived, you were holding her fast asleep, drooling as you slept; now she's strongly requesting a change of place, could it be you did something to her... 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"No, no, no, that's not the reason!"
In Pisces Director's frustrated disbelief, seeing Leon and the others seemingly misunderstand, Fredri quickly explained:
"Miss Medea has been very helpful to me; I'm not dissatisfied with her but after learning about the existence of the present world from my grandfather, I became fascinated by the situation here and curious about what it's really like.
Moreover... Moreover, I'm also unsure if I can come back again, so I really don't want to waste time on recuperation but hope to take the opportunity to go out more, satisfy my curiosity... Is that possible?"
I see…
Looking at the young woman who, even suspecting this trip might be one of no return, still unhesitatingly agreed to help, Taurus Director's gaze softened slightly and then followed her gaze towards Leon.
"?"
Why are you looking at me? Do you want me to take her around?
Receiving the Taurus Director's searching gaze, Leon paused slightly, instinctively preparing to refuse the task when the Pisces Director, nearly blamed earlier, suddenly spoke:
"Actually, letting her go out more is also good."
"???"
"The biggest problem with Miss Fredri is that she has been exposed to too many despair-filled nightmares in a short time, causing her adherence to hope to waver."
