Chapter 330 Patty

After finishing the meeting with Daniel, Gawain did not exit the network directly, but left the virtual space and returned to the level of consciousness of the mind network.

This layer is also what he calls the "visible area" - the opposite of the visible area is the data link layer deep in the network that will not be noticed by ordinary visitors.

His virtual space was created by manipulating the data link layer.

"The whereabouts of the huge computing resources are unknown..." Walking on the street in the central area of ​​Dream City, Gao Wen whispered to himself, "The Mind Network is a network based on active nodes, and does not require 'brain servants' Such a fixed 'server'..."

He raised his head and looked at the eternal sleepers who walked in front of him. Those figures were now living computing nodes in his eyes. After completing the knowledge that he was missing, he had a deeper understanding of the network. As a result, I have gained a better understanding of these cultists who are active in the network.

The Eternal Sleeper Order is a huge dark sect with a staggering number of members and a complex and secret inheritance system. Not all Eternal Sleepers know the secrets of their own sect-in fact, like the Viscountess Kant, the Eternal Sleepers Bewitched and led astray, but unaware of the Eternal Sleeper organization, "marginal believers" abound in this sect.

The eternal dream that can escape the real world has an unimaginable attraction to those who are miserable and desperate in reality. Even nobles and great magicians cannot resist its temptation under certain circumstances. After accepting the temptation of the Eternal Sleeper and dedicating his soul to this huge network for the first time, the beautiful illusion brought by the spiritual network is enough to confuse the reality enough to make people with firm will sink deeper and deeper.

How many of these eternal sleepers walking on the street are senior cultists, how many are unsatisfactory nobles, and how many are extraordinary powerhouses in trouble. Will there be members of the Secret Law Society among them? Will there be believers from the southern part of the continent, or even from other races? Even...are there some hopeless members of other sects?

The Eternal Sleepers have lost their beliefs and magical systems, just like the Druids after the fall of the White Star 3,000 years ago. In fact, they are already a secular extraordinary organization based on magical technology, so they can absorb "believers" completely. Psychological pressure, they can deceive nobles and mages, and they can deceive those orthodox believers and priests who appear to be upright and upright!

Thinking of these,

Gawain couldn't help but think that the Eternal Sleeper might be the most terrifying of the three dark sects...

As he walked in such a divergent manner, a familiar little figure suddenly flashed out of the corner of his eyes.

Gao Wen took a closer look and saw a little girl in a beautiful white dress jumping on the trail of fallen leaves not far away. She jumped on the leaves and stones, and from time to time she would step on the trail. The roadside stone slightly above the ground walks on the "single-plank bridge" staggeringly, and the carefree and innocent appearance is really impressive.

The little girl who called herself Patty Grant? How did it happen that we met again?

Gawain frowned, and his first thought was to pretend he didn't see him and walk away, but before he raised his feet, the little girl saw him sharply.

"Ah! It's Uncle Celsie!"

The little girl let out a cheerful cry, then jumped off the stone along the road, ran to Gawain, raised her skirt, and performed a non-standard lady's etiquette: "Hello, uncle!"

Her words and temperament are quite the shadow of good family education, but the actual movements are quite clumsy.

It seemed too deliberate for Gawain to go offline at this time, so he could only respond with a dry smile, and then looked around subconsciously: The woman who was suspected to be Selena Geerfen didn't seem to be around here.

"You're looking for Sister Serena?" Patty noticed Gawain's actions, and immediately spoke up, "Serina isn't here! She's busy at home!"

Gawain breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Patty and became a little curious. He asked the question he wanted to ask early in the morning: "By the way, how do you recognize me every time? There should be Many people use the same appearance as me, right?"

This is his most curious point - in this primitive network that has not yet implemented the real-name system and has not implemented a username floating on everyone's head, there is no way for people to identify others at a glance. You can enter the sea by pinching someone by yourself. The eternal sleepers are still completely satisfied with the "primary stage of Internet access for all", but this little girl in front of her can recognize herself every time, which is really strange. very.

You know, the face of Charles I is a popular skin on this network...

"Is it hard to recognize?" The little girl was stunned when she heard Gawain's question, blinked her eyes blankly, "But I can recognize it, although there are many people here who all look the same, but everyone's" It's all different..."

"It feels different..." Gawain didn't know whether to laugh or cry: What kind of answer is this?

He felt that the little girl in front of him had a lot of weirdness, and he couldn't help but feel more vigilant, but after such two or three contacts, he gradually dispelled his original thought: this little girl named "Patty" should be behind the scenes. Really not a middle-aged greasy foot-picking cult...

Even a gangster like Solderling is not at this level. This "Patty", even if it is not such a small child in the real world, should not be too bad.

Maybe geniuses really exist... You can access the Eternal Sleeper network at ten years old or something.

Thinking of this, and looking at the absence of Selena Geerfen around, Gawain felt that it was okay to chat with this strange little girl, so he led the little girl slowly on the boulevard. Walking slowly, he said casually, "You seem to come here often?"

Patty looked curious: "Did uncle come to this garden? Or in this dream?"

Does this little girl simply regard this virtual space as a "dream"? Where in the world can such a dream come from...

Gawain muttered in his heart, but there was no strange expression on his face: "I mean this 'dream'."

"I come here often, especially at night, I'm definitely coming here," Patty stuck out her tongue, "Because I won't be able to sleep well if I don't get into this dream..."

"Can't sleep well?" Gao Wen frowned, "Why?"

Patty seems to be really an ignorant child, she answers almost anything Gawain asks: "Because it hurts and itches..."

When saying this, the little girl's face clearly showed a hint of conflict and fear. Gawain originally wanted to continue to ask, but he swallowed the words, and moved to the next topic rather bluntly. : "Speaking of which, I haven't seen your parents here - aren't they 'compatriots' in the church?"

Church "compatriots", this is a colloquial term used by believers when they refer to their own people in private. Gawain believes that even if Patty is really innocent, she must have often heard similar words in her activities on this network.

The little girl shook her head: "Dad died a long time ago... Mom is very busy, and she doesn't like it here."

Father died and mother seems to be against the Eternal Sleeper? So how did this little girl connect to the Internet?

It turned out that she was not brought into the sect because of her parents?

Gao Wen had all kinds of speculations in his heart, silently sketching out the possible situation of this little girl in the real world, and asked: "Is that so... Then what does your mother do? Why doesn't she like it here?"

"Mom said she doesn't like to be in a dream, but I don't know what it means," Patty said, jumping on the curb next to her, and staggering forward, "Mom is a very Great person! Everyone in the castle listens to her!"

Gawain's footsteps couldn't help but pause: "Castle? Do you live in a castle?"

"Yeah! A big, big castle!" Patty said happily, "and my room has big, big windows!"

A castle with big windows? This kind of building method is not common in this era...

Gawain quickly guessed the identity of this little girl in the real world: she should be a noble, but judging from her speech and behavior, she should not be the son of a high-level noble, she lived in a castle with large windows, but this The noble castles of Ansu in the era are all about the power supply of military fortresses, basically only have narrow windows and high skylights, so she may not be from Ansu... But this is not necessarily because of the more comfortable new castles and manors recently. Architecture has begun to become popular in the Holy Spirit Plain, and some nobles in the south are imitating this kind of architecture...

With this in mind, Gawain said, "It sounds great. By the way, are there any high mountains near your castle? Or are there rivers and forests?"

He wanted to inquire about the characteristics of the scene near the castle where Patty lived, to determine which country the little girl was probably from—although he probably couldn't tell anything, but he still wanted to try.

But the little girl shook her head after hearing these questions: "I don't remember much... Since I was very young, my mother never let me leave the castle, saying it was dangerous outside. But uncle, let me tell you, this morning. I secretly asked the maid to take me to the terrace! I can see a lot of snow under the castle! Don't tell anyone, my mother usually doesn't even let me go on the terrace... But my mother went out the other day. ."

Gawain casually said, "Oh, your mother is out."

"Well, my mother said she was going to be a guest at Earl Hossman's house, and she's been out for a few days..."

"Oh, Earl Hossman... Earl Hossman?!"

Gawain repeated a sentence without hesitation, but he reacted as soon as he repeated it, and his eyes suddenly widened.

He has heard the name!

Not long ago, in Amber's report!

"Yes, Earl Horsman," Patty seemed to be slightly taken aback by Gawain's reaction, "Uncle... Do you know Lord Earl?"

"...No, I just didn't expect that the person your mother was going to meet was such a big man, and was frightened by the word 'Earl'." Gawain casually made up a reason, and children wouldn't think too much anyway. A lot, but his mind was surging.

Will there be any other Earl of Hossman in this world? This Gawain can't guarantee, there may be. After all, the four human kingdoms are separated in four directions on the mainland. Each country has its own independent but huge noble system. There are countless large and small landed nobles. There are a few nobles in the north and south with the same name and title, but instead of believing in this unreasonable possibility, he believes that the Earl "Hosman" mentioned by Patty is the one he knows!

A land noble in the southern border of Ansu, Karlov Hussman.

So Patty is actually the heir of a nobleman in the South?

Her surname seems to be Ge Lan... There does seem to be a surname of Ge Lan among the nobles in the southern region!
