: Necromancer Song Ci

Qiao Ye wants to save Sienna.

There are, of course, many reasons for this.

But most importantly, Qiao Ye didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place alone.

He took a deep breath.

The large hole that pierced through Sienna's chest was almost completely drained of golden blood.

The dragon bloodline's tenacious vitality is indeed astonishing, but it only prolongs her suffering a little longer.

How can we save her?

Qiao Ye is not a doctor.

But at least he could tell that such injuries would have killed any normal creature long ago.

There is only one solution—

Sleep, enter a dream world.

Find a way to save her in your dream.

The flow of time after entering a dream state has not yet been determined.

But Qiao Ye shouldn't worry about this.

because--

If he enters a dream, he must sleep soundly all night; there's no way to change that.

After that, if I stayed alone in this hellish America, I would surely die.

If that's the case, what's there to worry about?

Moreover, Qiao Ye felt that it wasn't that dangerous.

He currently has the "Determination to Win" buff active, and his "Spirituality" has been greatly enhanced.

The attribute point 【Spirituality】 is quite mysterious.

According to Zhou Zhiguo, people with high spirituality are more likely to come into contact with supernatural things, more likely to understand extraordinary powers, and more likely to see things that others cannot see.

According to Qiao Ye's understanding, the so-called "spirituality" should be the effect of a combination of attributes such as "luck", "comprehension", and "spiritual vision".

While our spirituality is still high, we can absolutely go all in!

If you can obtain a profession like [Priest] or [Doctor] and wake up quickly, there is hope of saving Miss Valentine.

He looked down at Sienna.

The other person was completely unconscious, and their breathing was barely perceptible.

There's no time left.

"Wait for me," Qiao Ye said softly.

He closed his eyes.

He fell asleep faster than he had imagined.

Perhaps he was too tired, or perhaps the Lord of Dreams himself was helping him—

In short, when he opened his eyes again, he was already in that pure white space.

The maidservant stood there.

"You're back..."

"Wait, I have a question!"

Qiao Ye didn't have time for pleasantries and quickly got to the point.

"How exactly is the time mechanism calculated in this dream?"

He needs to find out this first in order to know how much time he has left.

"So you didn't know all this time?"

The dream attendant was taken aback. "No matter how long you spend in the dream, it's only a moment to the outside world."

Just a moment?

Qiao Ye frowned: "But every time I wake up from a dream, I sleep until dawn."

That's because you have good sleep quality.

The Dream Servant explained, "The [Lord of Dreams] talent cannot alleviate your fatigue. A person can't go without sleep, can they?"

Oh, I see...

Qiao Ye accepted this explanation.

Dreams do not take up real time.

He can sleep soundly until dawn simply because he's a lazy dog.

"By the way, your [Dream Master] talent will only be triggered the first time you enter a dream each day."

The dream attendant said, "You cannot enter new dreams by repeatedly falling asleep."

"Yeah?"

Qiao Ye was somewhat disappointed.

It seems that I can no longer obtain the desired profession by grinding through the dream world.

It still depends on luck.

but--

"Since dreams don't take up time, I'm not in a hurry to enter the instance."

Let's take a look at the rewards we got after this hunt for the Faceless Nun.

Who knows, there might be some surprises?

He opened the [Dream Treasury] and selected the [My Treasury] section.

There were indeed a few more items inside—

The Faceless Nun's Veil

[Category: Magical Items]

[Rank: Purple Rare]

[Description: The veil worn by Sister Maria Clare, the Faceless Sister, during her lifetime. When she was burned at the stake, the flames destroyed her face, but not the veil.]

[Effect: After wearing it, you can adjust your facial features to achieve any desired appearance.]

--------

[Fragments of the Crimson Cross]

[Category: Forging Materials]

[Rank: Purple Rare]

[Description: Fragments of the Faceless Nun's weapon, usable as forging material.]

[Effect: Adds the "Crimson Shadow (★★★★)" affix to the weapon. Crimson Shadow: With each attack, a crimson afterimage separates from the wielder. The afterimage replicates the attack animation after a 0.3-second delay, and its attack power is equal to that of the wielder.]

--------

[A Blessing from Seventy-Three Children]

Category: Gifts

[Rank: Purple Rare]

[Description: The pendant is shaped like an ordinary plush toy, but contains the blessings bestowed upon seventy-three children as they attained peace.]

[Effect: An extremely valuable gift; giving it to someone who is passionate about studying the power of the soul might bring good fortune.]

They are all purple-quality items, but their effects are still quite practical.

Qiao Ye thought for a moment and took out the "Blessings of Seventy-Three Children".

With spiritual blessing, he had a premonition.

This thing might come in handy.

"Dream Maiden, I want to enter the dream world," Qiao Ye said.

"As you wish."

The maidservant raised her hand and touched Qiao Ye's brow with her fingertips.

A warm, gentle force seeped into her fingertips.

Qiao Ye unconsciously closed his eyes.

I felt like my whole body was constantly falling.

……

Qiao Ye opened his eyes.

He stood at the entrance of a manor.

The manor was large, with gray-white stone walls covered with withered vines.

Qiao Ye looked down at himself.

He was wearing a gray apprentice robe, which was covered in dirt.

A wooden plaque hung from his waist, which read: [Necromancer Apprentice]

"A necromancer apprentice?"

Qiao Ye suddenly had a bad feeling.

He came here looking for a way to save people! What the hell is a necromancer apprentice?

Shouldn't it be something like "trainee pastor" or "novice doctor"?

Is the dream world already eager to send Sienna away?

Just then, I heard footsteps.

Qiao Ye raised his head.

An old man is walking out of the manor.

He wore a dark black robe, had gray hair, and held a wooden cane in his hand.

He walked up to Qiao Ye and stopped.

Those eyes were dark gray, like the water of a lake in winter.

"Is everything ready?" the old man asked.

"Ready."

This time, Qiao Ye didn't ask what to prepare, knowing that the system would soon provide background information.

really--

[Current Dream: Another World - Continent of Orin]

[Identity: Necromancer Apprentice (Temporary)]

Master: Song Ci (Necromancer Scholar)

[Objective: Assist Song Ci in performing the autopsy, determine the cause of death, and unlock the extraordinary profession 'Necromancer']

Song Ci?

Qiao Ye was taken aback. Was it Song Ci, the forensic doctor from the Southern Song Dynasty?

I've even watched his TV dramas before.

"Someone died in town, and the death was very strange. The mayor asked me to go and take a look."

Song Ci said, "But I don't want to do it this time, so you can do it."

"Me?"

Qiao Ye pointed to himself and asked, "Master, do you think I can handle this?"

He can't do anything!

"Don't worry."

Song Ci looked at Qiao Ye, his eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.

It's like an old father looking at his useless son with utter helplessness.

"Just go ahead and do it. I'll teach you slowly if you encounter any problems."

Song Ci shook his head, seemingly trying to convince himself—

"Even if someone is incredibly stupid, at seventeen years old, surely they can learn necromancy?"
