Chapter 568: Dream Land

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

In a corner of Arborea, in front of some vast ruins.

A team of people was staring in awe, including a small team of royal guards.

Marvin and Aragon stood in front of the ruins, revealing dignified expressions.

Apart from them, Nana and the court’s first mage, Orland, were also there.

This was the new discovery that Nana mentioned at the party.

Orland began to explain, ”There had been a Shadow Shrine temple here.”

”When we arrived, we were surprised to discover that it had already been destroyed. That seemed very strange to us.”

”Thus, after I heard my subordinate’s report, I investigated it and found something unexpected!” Orland said excitedly.

Speaking of it, Orland had spared no effort to help the Nottingheim royal family.

He was actually a very powerful Wizard. Despite being under the pressure of the plane and the Shrine’s suppression, he had still been able to silently reach level 18 on his own. This was a miracle in itself!

And what was even more impressive was that he stayed in the court for a long time, frequently going in and out of the imperial hall, but those Priests never discovered his true status.

The old guy’s ability to hide his strength was quite remarkable.

At the last moment, he stood up and revealed power far beyond that of a normal scholar. He held back the Shrine’s people and gained some time for Marvin.

After getting rid of the Shadow Shrine, Nottingheim underwent some restructuring. Nana held the lion’s share of the power as the queen, and the highest authority under her was the one holding the position of prime minister, Orland.

Nana and Orland were the most distinguished people in the entire plane, and it was very difficult for most to see them.

But it was different for Marvin.

When he heard about it, Marvin became very interested in their new discovery. They didn’t say much more after describing the place briefly, and at his request, they led Marvin out of the capital to head toward the ruins of the Shadow Shrine on the northwestern border.

...

According to Orland, there were many strange things about these ruins. The most glaring oddity was a special underground area they found below the ruins.

Thus, he had others proceed with the excavation, and thanks to the soldiers’ efforts, they were able to find a tunnel!

The tunnel led even deeper into the darkness. Orland probed it several times, but after proceeding for a bit, he felt a power that far surpassed his own and thus didn’t try dare to go any further.

He sealed the tunnel and waited for Marvin to return to Arborea before coming together to explore it once again.

Marvin walked down the tunnel and felt a mysterious aura from the depths of the tunnel.

This discovery was indeed unusual.

The construction of the passage itself was very strange. It wasn’t made with ordinary materials.

And looking at it from an architectural point of view, the entrance to the passage must have been a secret room.

As they proceeded through the darkness, a light wind sometimes came through, showing that the passage had an exit.

Marvin took the lead, followed by Aragon. Orland and a few guards also followed behind. As for Nana, she remained outside at Marvin’s recommendation.

Just as Orland had said, the passage had quite a few doors. His Perception also let him sense that there was an aura of Divine Power.

’Could it be remnants of Glynos’ power in this plane?’

Some doubts remained in Marvin’s heart.

He increased his pace.

They soon reached the end of the passage.

That aura was becoming richer and richer. Orland stopped with a bitter smile on his face.

”This is where I stopped last time.” The old Wizard shook his head as he regretted, ”I can’t withstand this power.”

Marvin understood.

This was a typical case of Divine Power repelling someone.

Because the Divine Power in the passage was too dense, it formed something akin to a Divine Law boundary. Orland, as a level 18 Great Wizard, wasn’t even a Half-Legend. He wasn’t like Aragon, who had already advanced to Legend and could resist the Divine Law’s suppression.

”I’ll check it out on my own,” Marvin said after thinking for a bit.

Aragon showed a bit of surprise since he was also feeling curious about the depths of the path, but since Marvin made this kind of decision, he wouldn’t raise any objections.

Such a dense Divine Power most likely meant that there was huge danger ahead, and Aragon was still a newly advanced Legend.

”Sir Marvin, be careful.”

Aragon and Orland stayed to guard that part of the passage.

Marvin nodded before proceeding on his own.

He increased his speed, turning into a blur in the passage.

A light appeared in the distance.

’Divine Light…’

’This Divine Power… It’s really familiar…’

Marvin was silently contemplating that power when suddenly, he shivered!

’Fuck!’

’No wonder this feels familiar!’

’It’s not the Shadow Prince!’

’It’s… him!’

Marvin stood still in the passage filled with Divine Power as he suddenly made a realization.

At first, he had thought that it would be Glynos, which was further supported by the aura feeling so familiar.

But this Divine Power didn’t seem to have a Shadow attribute, which made Marvin feel that something was wrong.

As he got closer, it occurred to him that it seemed so familiar because he had recently fought against this Divine Power!

This was the aura of the Dream God!

Marvin couldn’t help but clench his teeth, with killing intent flashing in his eyes.

The Dream God’s Divine Servant, Ambella.

That time, if not for Lance appearing in his memories, if not for Lorie coming from the distant Rocky Mountain and giving him a portion of her Fate Power, he would have suffered and perhaps died under the Dream God’s plot!

Marvin had already recorded this enmity.

He would definitely get his revenge!

It was just a matter of time.

...

’Unexpected, so unexpected.’

’Why would there be an entrance to [Dream Land] in one of the Shadow Prince’s Secondary Planes? Moreover, it seems like the Dream God isn’t aware of it.’

’It must have been done secretly by Glynos.’

Marvin leaned against the passage’s walls, coldly looking toward the other side of the halo.

It seemed to be on a tall mountain, and from that point of view, he could see a huge area of that plane!

If Marvin took a step in, he would enter Dream Land.

Although Dream Land was not the Dream God’s God Realm, it was still one of the most important Secondary Planes controlled by the Dream God!

’Found your nest,’ Marvin thought to himself cheerfully.

He was already putting together a plan. Since he so fortuitously found a back door to Dream Land, how could he forgive himself if he didn’t give the Dream God a gift?
