Alice didn't ask strange questions like "Will I suffer from insomnia?" She already understood that extraordinary people can fall asleep quickly through meditation. This is an important trick for her to fall asleep at the speed of light. When Alice wakes up from her dream, the first thing she sees is a city frozen in dusk. She was sitting on a towering boulder. In front of the boulder was a bottomless cliff. On the opposite side of the cliff was a mountain peak covered by countless palaces, countless towers and majestic city walls. Those buildings are majestic and gorgeous, layered and surrounded. They are extremely huge individually, unlike a place where humans live. When combined together, they have an indescribable sense of epic, miracle and myth. The sun hung very far away, bringing the color of dusk to the city, and the light seemed to be frozen. Beside her, Cattleya sat hugging her knees, her tone sounding like she was dreaming: "This is a dream shared by all of us..." A dream shared by everyone... Alice blinked her eyes and looked at the majestic city slightly absentmindedly. She had seen that city in the key held by "Iceberg Vice Admiral" Edwina. She remembered that Derrick "The Sun" called this city...
The Court of Giants. … When he woke up from his dream, Klein looked around blankly, looking for the power that invaded his dream. "Would you like to go take a look together?" "Bloodless" Heath Doyle landed from the shadows and extended an invitation to him, who was obviously awake and capable of action. Why was he in my dream...he invaded my dream? Klein was stunned for a moment and did not respond. Instead, he first observed the surrounding situation. He was on the top of a mountain, with monastery-like black buildings behind him and to his left and right, and in front of him was a withered tree and a raised boulder. On the top of the boulder, "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya and Alice were sitting side by side, staring at the mountain opposite. The picture was inexplicably harmonious. ...Everyone is here. Although there was no clue on Klein's face, Heath Doyle thoughtfully gave an explanation: “This is a dream we all share. "Let's go up and say hello." Heath Doyle moved towards the boulder, and Klein followed him subconsciously. … When Alice was looking at the phantom of the Giant King's courtyard in the distance, an invitation suddenly sounded in her ears: "Want to come together?" Alice turned her head and saw Klein, who maintained the appearance of Gehrman Sparrow, and Heath Doyle, who looked pale. The person who invited her to explore together was Heath Doyle. Alice stared at the two of them and frowned little by little, and finally asked Heath Doyle: "Why can you stay awake?" Alice knew that Klein could stay awake in an invaded dream.
Regardless of whether this is Klein's own special feature or the goddess's protection, this is the fact. So... why is Heath Doyle? Alice glanced at "Star Admiral" Cattleya next to her, and then looked at Heath Doyle again. The meaning was very clear - even your captain is still half asleep, why are you staying awake? Alice's question was like a thunderclap, waking up Klein. He suddenly realized that he had never thought about why Heath Doyle could stay awake in his dreams. Heath Doyle did not directly answer Alice's question: "Since you say that I am like a 'protagonist', then you have to accept...as a 'protagonist', I have something special, right?" There was no need for Alice this time. Klein frowned and looked at Heath Doyle, subconsciously staying away from him. Heath Doyle may have realized that it would be difficult to convince Alice and Klein without giving some solid reasons. He thought for a while and replied: "This is actually a personal adventure of mine. My luck has become particularly good. At the same time, I have gained the ability to stay awake in dreams, hypnosis, and similar scenes..." Klein looked at Alice. This was barely a qualified reason, but given his previous attitude, Alice had reservations about the authenticity of this reason. "What do you want to do?" Alice asked with a frown. To this question, Heath Doyle answered without hesitation: "I want to explore this dreamland, but it's too dangerous to explore alone. I need companions." "What do you know about this dream?" Alice then asked. "This is the dream we all share," Heath Doyle replied. "There are dangers and opportunities here." ...It's all bullshit. When she knew that this was a dream shared by everyone, Alice knew that there must be something wrong with this dream. After all, the outside world is full of dangers. Are dreams a safe place? Where did such a good thing come from? For those who are truly "asleep", dreams may be safe, but for those of them who are still awake in their dreams, it probably corresponds to the saying - the more you know, the more dangerous it is. Alice doesn't know if there are any opportunities to explore the dreamland. But exploring dreams is definitely more dangerous than exploring outside. After all, dreams are more likely to be polluted than outside. If Heath Doyle hadn't sent the invitation, Alice's original plan was to try to see if she could sleep in her dreams... Now it seems that she has to give up this plan for the time being. Alice frowned and glanced at him, thought for a moment, pointed at the magnificent buildings frozen in the dusk and asked him: "Have you seen that stretch of buildings?" Heath Doyle did not seem to be stingy about his understanding of dreams. He gave a clear and vague answer: "It's there. Everyone who enters the dreamland can see it, but they can never get close." Alice glanced at Heath Doyle with unknown meaning.
She was not familiar with Heath Doyle outside the dream, and had not even spoken two words to each other, so Alice was not sure whether Heath Doyle's personality at this moment had changed from before. But Alice is certain of one thing - Heath Doyle, who became the "Rose Bishop" because of his "luck" and joined the "Star Admiral" pirate group, should not have such a rich understanding of the Sea of Ruins. Moreover, it should be harder to get information about dreams... After all, if someone you travel with dies in a dream, you will most likely not know what happened. Thinking of this, Alice knelt down and asked "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya, who was still sitting there hugging her knees: "Before today, did you know that your second officer had an adventure that enabled him to stay awake in his dreams?" "I don't know." Cattleya answered as she stared at the city. (End of chapter)
