Me! Cleaner!

Chapter 412 The Secret of the Kingdom

Snow woman…

After hearing the red-haired director's inquiry, Leon followed her gaze and looked at the snow girl lying in the desert.

According to the rules of this world, nightmares that enter reality will have a physical body. However, when the Nightmare King entered the "second stage", Yuki-onna had been knocked unconscious by him, and she has not woken up yet.

"It's better to send her back to the dream world."

After a slight hesitation, Leon said:

"I used the black goat's soul vision to see that her soul is actually purer than many humans. It is mainly controlled by the Nightmare King. It is not bad in itself, but it helped me a lot this time.

In addition, her accompanying nightmare was contaminated, and the core of the nightmare was destroyed by the Nightmare King. Her strength dropped very seriously. Apart from being able to travel through the nightmare, she had basically no abilities. It didn't matter if she was allowed to go back. "

"Can."

After nodding and approving Leon's solution, the red-haired director thought about it for a moment, and then said:

"Forget it, let's put back the remaining nightmare messengers. After the dream world has been harmed by you, its vitality will be seriously damaged, and before the King of Nightmares is resurrected, the ratio between nightmares and dreams will be serious. imbalance.

Bringing back a few more high-level nightmares can help balance things out a bit, so as not to have any negative impact on the real world. Moreover, after the overlap is over, they will not invade the real world, so there is no need to worry about any harm if they are put back. "

Before the Nightmare King is resurrected...

After hearing the red-haired director's words, Leon's expression sank slightly.

Although we know that these "true gods" are almost immortal, after the Nightmare King is killed this time, a new nightmare will be born one day in the future.

But when he thought of what it had shown for him with the mirror crown, those painful scenes that made his heart throb just by recalling them, a strong sense of unwillingness still appeared in Leon's eyes.

"Director."

After calling out, Leon frowned and said:

"Is there no way to completely kill the Nightmare King?"

You actually ask such a question... It seems that the Nightmare King has offended you quite a bit...

After looking at Leon with some curiosity, the red-haired director shook his head and replied while wondering what the Nightmare King had done to make the usually steady Leon lose control:

"No... Dreams and nightmares are one of the cornerstones of the dream world. The result of completely killing the Nightmare King is similar to killing the master of the dead world. It will lead to an imbalance in this vassal world."

"A vassal world?"

"To put it simply, the worlds are not completely isolated from each other, but are interconnected based on utility and rules."

After drawing a big circle on the desert with his toes, and then drawing a bunch of small circles around it, the red-haired director explained:

"If the world we live in is the big circle in the middle, then the world of death, the dream world, and these small circles can be regarded as 'vassal worlds' derived from our world and specifically serving our world.

Among them, the death world is responsible for containing the dead souls, returning them to their origins and giving them new life, while the dream world is responsible for carrying human memories and fantasies, including art, inspiration, and these things, which are also related to the dream world. "

After explaining the meaning of the existence of the dream world, the red-haired director said helplessly:

"Whether these vassal worlds can operate stably is of great significance to us. Even when trouble occurs, we have to help in turn, but this job is usually not ours."

"If you can't even take your turn...director?"

"Yes, directors. Most directors are away from the bureau all year round, and they are basically doing this."

The red-haired director said:

"If the mission of the directors of the eighty-seven branches of the Cleanup Bureau is to guard human settlements and prevent opponents from breaking in, stealing, and robbing, then the responsibility of the twelve directors is to ensure that the vassal worlds operate smoothly and do not go out of their way. Something big enough to affect reality.

The zodiac directors may not be weaker than the directors, but the zodiac palaces they control are one level lower than the twelve directors. They cannot enter and leave these vassal worlds at will, so these cross-border matters can generally only be used by those who can. Star Compass] directors do it. "I see…

After understanding why insects could not be released to completely gnaw away the dream world, and why the directors of the Cleanup Bureau were always away from home, Leon hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively said:

"Then... what if we find a way to replace the Lord of Nightmares? Hasn't the Lord of the Death World also been replaced?"

"It's possible...but it's not only very troublesome, but also extremely dangerous."

The red-haired director sighed and said:

"The ancestor of the royal family of the kingdom is the one who defeated the Nightmare King, causing his own bloodline to be cursed.

He tried to do something similar to your idea, hoping to lift the curse left by the Nightmare King in his blood. He also received support from the Bureau, but in the end he failed, and it also caused very serious consequences. as a result of. "

Very serious consequences?

Leon couldn't help but clenched his fists when he heard this, and then asked curiously:

"What happened in the end?"

“…”

"Leon, let me ask you."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Without answering Leon's question, the red-haired director sighed and asked:

"What kind of kingdom is this kingdom we live in?"

What kingdom is it?

Leon was slightly startled.

"A kingdom is a kingdom. What is a kingdom?"

"I mean, don't you think there should be a prefix before kingdom?"

The red-haired director said:

"For example, the Kingdom of Ice, Kingdom of Korok, Kingdom of Thousand Sails, Kingdom of Thunderstorm, etc. Other countries should have specific names, so what should the prefix name of the kingdom, or the full name, be?"

The name of the kingdom?

Leon couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then opened the badge panel, found the prince badge that allowed people to bow, and looked at it.

My emblem is called [Prince of Thrush], so the full name of the kingdom is the Kingdom of Thrush. What does this mean... Wait a minute! Why do I need to look at the emblem to remember the name of the kingdom?

As if he had discovered something extraordinary, Leon's pupils couldn't help but shrink instantly, and the red-haired director who was paying attention to his expression sighed in time:

"You find you can't remember, right?"

“…”

"The ancestor of the royal family, in the process of trying to replace the Nightmare King, accidentally destroyed the stability of the dream world, causing a world-wide memory loss, causing the name of the kingdom to be forgotten by everyone.

In order to solve this problem, the bureau had to open the [Fantasy Can], modify the evil god's brain soaked in it, and ask it to erase this question all the time, so that everyone subconsciously ignored this problem.

That's why you and everyone in the entire kingdom shout "Kingdom" every day, but you don't think there is anything wrong with calling "Kingdom" without a name at all. "

“…”

After taking a look at Leon who was full of shock, the red-haired director reached out and patted his shoulder and said:

"Leon, now you understand how troublesome it is to replace these 'gods' who occupy important rules, right?"
