Chapter 3336: Chapter 3337: Little Garden

"You can enter once a day; it seems like the Little Garden isn’t the type of dungeon that restricts exit until you clear it." The Rabbit Girl muttered quietly, looking at Little Red: "Do you want to go in and give it a try?"

"Or should we head back to Rabbit Town and come back later?"

The Rabbit Girl had already relaxed considerably. Earlier, she was worried about the potential dangers this Immortal Realm might pose, but it now seemed not to be particularly dangerous.

Moreover, unlike the Uriel Dungeon that Luigi was currently involved in, which couldn’t be exited without being cleared.

This type of dungeon, where one can come and go freely, didn’t bother the Rabbit Girl if Little Red wanted to give it a try.

Little Red pondered for a moment and reached the same conclusion as the Rabbit Girl. Since this dungeon could be exited at any time, she decided to go in and take a look.

After all, there was only one challenge opportunity per day, and it would be wasted if not used.

Thinking this, Little Red nodded to the Rabbit Girl: "I want to go in and take a look first."

This time, the Rabbit Girl didn’t stop her. She was also curious about what kind of dungeon the Little Garden actually was, so it was fine for Little Red to investigate it.

However, although she didn’t stop her, the Rabbit Girl still carefully advised, just in case: "If you encounter danger, or if you feel that something is wrong and need help, don’t try to tough it out. You can first go offline to seek Angel’s help."

Little Red nodded obediently: "I understand."

Without saying more, Little Red took a deep breath and gently pushed under the attentive gaze of the Rabbit Girl.

The large door on the Crystal Wall was pushed open by Little Red.

Instantly, a bright light spread out from within, casting a long geometric light in the depths of the cave.

But because the light was so bright, the Rabbit Girl couldn’t see anything inside, only waves of floating light sea.

Moreover, the Rabbit Girl felt a strong sense of repulsion. She had initially thought of trying to enter with Little Red, but this repulsive force caused her to lack even the strength to lift her foot.

Little Red also couldn’t see specifically what was inside the door, but she didn’t feel any repulsive force; instead, she vaguely sensed a comforting aura silently stirring her mind and spirit.

This feeling was like the world’s most delicious cake was waiting for her enjoyment inside.

Longing appeared in Little Red’s eyes, and she couldn’t help but step forward.

"Be careful." The Rabbit Girl saw Little Red starting to walk forward and couldn’t help but remind her once more, watching as Little Red walked into the light.

As Little Red entered, the door closed instantly.

The Rabbit Girl tried to reach out and push the door, but no matter how hard she pushed, the door didn’t move at all, completely different from how Little Red had easily pushed it open earlier.

"As expected, this instance is prepared only for Practitioners, and outsiders can’t enter." The Rabbit Girl sighed and then looked up at the dark cave ceiling.

"Are you still there?" the Rabbit Girl called out softly.

There was no doubt that the Rabbit Girl was calling out to Angel.

Without any hesitation, a gentle breeze came with soft whispers, swirling around the Rabbit Girl’s ears: "I’m here."

"This dungeon shouldn’t have any dangers, right?" The Rabbit Girl asked hurriedly.

The breeze blew around her again, seemingly trying to soothe her agitated heart: "Don’t worry, this dungeon is very safe and is similar to the Uriel Dungeon, where the test isn’t about combat."

After a brief pause, Angel continued through the wind sound: "I’ve roughly understood the situation of the Little Garden. If you need, I can tell you about your situation."

The Rabbit Girl shook her head quickly: "Since it’s safe inside, that’s fine. No need to tell me about the Little Garden’s situation; it’s better to wait for Little Red to come out and tell me..."

It’s not that she wasn’t curious, but the Rabbit Girl didn’t think she was a good actress; knowing the Little Garden’s secrets beforehand, she might not be able to act appropriately "surprised" when hearing Little Red’s information.

So, since she knew it was safe, there was no rush to explore specific information, preferring to wait for Little Red to tell her so her reactions would be more genuine.

Angel also guessed the Rabbit Girl’s thoughts and didn’t continue discussing the Little Garden’s information. Instead, he asked: "Since Little Red’s gone in, we don’t know when she’ll come out. Will you wait here or return to Rabbit Town first?"

The Rabbit Girl replied without hesitation: "Wait here."

The Dream Crystal Origin rarely had a "peer" companion come along, and the Rabbit Girl didn’t mind staying to wait. Additionally, as Little Red’s guide, there were many Dream Crystal Origin details she hadn’t shared before sending her into the instance; she felt a bit embarrassed to just abandon her.

So, it was better to stay here and wait.

The Rabbit Girl had made up her mind, and Angel didn’t try to dissuade her. However, to prevent the Rabbit Girl from boredom while waiting, Angel used the "Celestial Alternation" authority to create a simple version of an Illusion Technique Hut nearby, allowing the Rabbit Girl a space to rest.

After completing all this, Angel bid farewell to the Rabbit Girl, and his thoughts slowly sank into the Little Garden dungeon.

Even though he’d confirmed the basic functioning of Little Garden earlier, and there were no combat segments, to prevent any accidents, he still wanted to see for himself to ensure there’s no oversight.

The interior of Little Garden was as Angel had seen in the information before.

The vast Front Courtyard Garden had both the wildly growing mountain flower sea and the gently growing small flowers in the orderly cultivated greenhouse, as well as those large glowing trees full of swaying luminous flowers.

At first glance, the entire Front Courtyard Garden could fill all the poetic dreams of a sentimental young girl.

Dreamlike and ethereal.

At that moment, Little Red was immersed in such a romantic sea of flowers.

From her expression, it was clear she was carefully inhaling the floral fragrance in the air, suggesting she’d likely received a hint from the Immortal Realm, indicating her task was about "discernment of flavors."

Angel didn’t disturb Little Red, instead using the Box Garden Perspective to scan the entire Little Garden, confirming there were no hidden "Magical Beasts" or "traps" before retracting his gaze.

His thoughts exited the Little Garden, slowly ascending until he left the Dream Crystal Origin and returned to reality.

As soon as Angel opened his eyes, he saw the surrounding gazes, except for Luigi, everyone else more or less looking at him.

Sipolov was curious, about what it felt like to log into the Dream Crystal Origin.

Even while the Dog Deacon was talking to Luigi about the "fabricated epic drama," it glanced over, having some concern about Little Red’s situation.

Laplace, unlike others, understood what Angel had been doing. Her look was more exploratory... Normally, Angel would accompany Little Red into the Dream Crystal Origin, observe briefly, then withdraw. This time, he’d immersed for an unusual length of time—was something wrong with Little Red?

Previously, Laplace wouldn’t have considered "something wrong." But since Baba Ragon’s entry into the Dream Crystal Origin activated the "Mist Isle Dragon Tomb" dungeon, Laplace couldn’t help but think more.

Could it be that Little Red has also activated some instance, so that’s why Angel stayed in the Crystal Origin of Dreams for so long?

Angel also noticed the gazes from everyone, but he ignored the looks from Sipolov and the Dog Deacon. He just nodded lightly at Laplace, who immediately understood and accepted the previously severed Mind Ribbon.

With the Mind Ribbon reconnected, before Angel could speak, he heard Laplace ask: "Did Little Red also meet the conditions of the New Fairyland?"

Angel was taken aback for a moment, he didn’t expect Laplace to get straight to the point. But upon thinking carefully, he realized that the reason he stayed in the Crystal Origin of Dreams for quite some time could either be due to an issue on Little Red’s side or some unexpected problem elsewhere.

Since the chaos from the "World Grinding Day" incident, the indigenous people of the Crystal Origin of Dreams have been quite well-behaved, so the possibility of an unexpected incident elsewhere is not high. With this in mind, it was likely that something happened on Little Red’s side.

Angel: "Consider it so."

Upon hearing Angel’s answer, Laplace sighed inwardly: As expected, the New Fairyland has come again...

After a lament, Laplace asked: "Who is it?"

Angel: "???"

Laplace: "I’m asking, who is the special NPC this time?"

Seeing Laplace’s inquisitive look, Angel immediately understood that she was probably misunderstanding, assuming this instance was still related to the abandoned Temporal Body, just like the Rabbit Girl had.

Angel quickly shook his head: "No special NPC this time. This New Fairyland is quite unique, belonging to an experience-based fairyland."

"Experience-based fairyland?" Laplace was slightly puzzled: "Is it related to the Mist Isle Dragon Tomb’s practice?"

"Not related, this trial is specifically prepared for Special Talented ones." Angel did not conceal the information, and explained the situation of the training dungeon and the prerequisites for opening it.

After listening, Laplace was a bit surprised. She once had a notion about what kind of mishap could occur if the Dog Deacon’s mind reading talent were taken into the Crystal Origin of Dreams?

At the time, she was merely speculating, never truly believing the Dog Deacon could bring his mind reading talent into the Crystal Origin of Dreams.

But now listening to Angel, it seems as long as the talent is a Will Gift from the Dream Realm or Mirror Domain, it can potentially be brought into the Crystal Origin of Dreams.

If the exclusive training dungeon is cleared, there is a chance to reclaim talent within the Crystal Origin of Dreams!

This is certainly a bombshell news!

If Little Red can open a training dungeon, then the Dog Deacon, whose mind reading ability is also a World Will’s gift, must also be able to open a corresponding training dungeon.

A distant notion... realized?!

Laplace tried to suppress her scattered thoughts, avoiding the ruminations about what waves might be caused if the Dog Deacon regained his mind reading talent in the Crystal Origin of Dreams.

Laplace raised her head and looked at Angel: "Is it difficult to clear the training dungeon?"

Angel: "Not sure yet, but the ’Taste Seeking Trip - Little Garden’ that Little Red ventured into this time isn’t too difficult for her."

Then, Angel discussed specific information about the Little Garden.

"...But even if Little Red clears the Little Garden instance, it only nets a puzzle piece. Afterwards, she will have to visit other training dungeons to collect more puzzle pieces."

"And whether the other training dungeons are difficult, I am currently unsure."

The current instance is not too difficult, but according to Angel’s deduction, these training dungeons can’t remain simple indefinitely, they might get progressively harder later on.

Moreover, the first puzzle instance had so many restrictions, there are likely more stringent ones in the future.

And training dungeons cannot be assisted by others, it tests the practitioner’s own abilities, making it even harder to pass.

Little Red’s journey to reclaim her talent is long and arduous.

After listening, Laplace fell into contemplation, not speaking for a while.

Until Angel took the initiative to ask "what she was thinking," Laplace finally spoke: "I’m pondering that now Little Red has already entered the training dungeon. It’s confirmed that if the Dog Deacon enters the Crystal Origin of Dreams, he will definitely open the corresponding training dungeon... Wait a minute, we probably need to have a private talk with the Dog Deacon about this."

Laplace emphasized the word "private," as they almost always conversed openly with the Dog Deacon before, not deliberately hiding from Sipolov.

But regarding the training dungeon, Sipolov should not hear this.

If Sipolov knows the Dog Deacon might reclaim his talent in the Crystal Origin of Dreams, and he spreads the word, then not many would dare to enter the Crystal Origin of Dreams.

Angel also understood Laplace’s meaning, indeed, this matter needed a good discussion with the Dog Deacon.

However, Angel had a premonition that the more powerful a talent is, the more difficult its training dungeon will be; the Dog Deacon might not ultimately be able to reclaim his mind reading talent.

Compared to the Dog Deacon’s talent, Angel was instead worried about those relatively weaker talents.

According to the information he obtained, some relatively weaker talents don’t involve a "puzzle" instance; instead, a one-time training dungeon suffices to reclaim a talent.

There are quite a few such Talented Ones, and they are mostly gathered at the Everything House.

Since all members of the Everything House are Empty-hearted People, if another Empty-hearted Person "fortunately" traversed the Sea Eye, they could potentially gain a talent.

Even though these talents do not match the strength of the Dog Deacon, in the Crystal Origin of Dreams, these weaker talents do not require chain trials, achieving completion in one go.

These are Angel’s true concerns.

Hearing Angel’s concern, Laplace also fell into deep thought: "Indeed, what you have said needs careful consideration as well... Let’s talk with the Dog Deacon, it should know who has talents in the Everything House, when these talented people enter the Crystal Origin of Dreams, marking them and imposing some control would be best."

Angel: "I was thinking the same."

As their conversation ended, the Dog Deacon and Luigi finished their discussion about the "Heart Fire Epic" on the other side.

Precisely, it was the Dog Deacon who didn’t want to continue the conversation, it felt exhausted, and Luigi kept pressing for a higher climax, which made continuing the conversation difficult.

Moreover, the Dog Deacon was also eager to know what Glaipnir and the Mystic Book Dragon discussed. So, after wrapping up with Luigi, it stopped continuing, turning its gaze towards Laplace.

Laplace’s gaze also met it at the right moment.

As their eyes met, they both saw the floating thoughts in each other’s eyes...
