Chapter 480: The Locked Door
Chapter 480: The Locked Door
[Jewelry/Material: Dream Crystal]
[A special gem formed from the condensation of an illusory dream. The power of the world is transformed and preserved within the gem, radiating a brilliance reminiscent of the world's past glory. It can also be used as a material to craft other items.]
[A mythical gem, its value is incalculable!]
["Are we truly just false existences? Are you truly our creator? What did we do to disappoint you? Why did you abandon us?"
"We will never know the answer."
"Even though you abandoned us, we won't leave you. We hope to accompany you to the very end. Here is our treasure, our knowledge, our memories... our world, everything you gave us."]
"I hope this gift will be of use to you."
"Do you like our gift? Is what we've done meaningful?"
"If you like it, that's good. Please remember us occasionally."]
"..."
Lindsey felt a heavy weight in his hand.
At this moment, Fenburr had already left.
There were still preparations to be made at the theater, so he left Yaostar and Wah Wah Wah with Lindsey.
"Yaostar, do you know where this gem came from?"
Yaostar shook his head:
"No idea."
"Only a select few are qualified to enter the theater's treasury, and I'm not one of them."
As he spoke, Yaostar became curious:
"Lindsey, are you dissatisfied with it?"
"..."
"Satisfied, I'd say it's beyond my expectations."
Lindsey looked at the synthesis formula.
[1 Dream Crystal + 1 Four-Element Magic Pattern + 1 Essence Furnace + 1 Life Core = Miniature World]
[1 Dream Crystal + 1 Rainbow Radiance Sword = Rainbow Radiance Dream Blade]
[1 Dream Crystal + 1 Condemner's Staff + 1 Judge's Staff = Judgment Staff]
...
The synthesis formulas related to the Dream Crystal were all extraordinary.
Clearly, it was something beyond their current capabilities.
However, due to the Dream Crystal's uniqueness, Lindsey curiously asked:
"In Thousand Sails City, will the worlds created by artists also be destroyed?"
Wah Wah Wah explained to Lindsey:
"Although it's rare, it's still possible."
"Resource depletion or civil wars can lead to such outcomes."
Wah Wah Wah subtly sensed the gem's uniqueness:
"What is it, Lindsey?"
"Is this gem related to the destruction of the Illusory Dream?"
Lindsey nodded:
"Yes."
Yaostar agreed from the side:
"After all, it's that person's order, and Mr. Fenburr will take it seriously."
That person...? Lindsey raised an eyebrow, immediately realizing that Yaostar was referring to Fenna.
People couldn't remember her name, so the actors used this title as a substitute.
However, this title gave Lindsey an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if they were all sharing some strange joke about a land of light.
Lindsey suppressed his laughter:
"Speaking of that person..."
Click!
At this moment, the door to the break room was opened.
A young male actor poked his head in, his gaze sweeping over the three of them.
He looked at Lindsey with jealousy and then asked Yaostar with adoration:
"Yaostar, do you have time?"
"We still have a few more rehearsals, and you're participating in the parade tomorrow, right?"
"Ah," Yaostar's expression turned serious, "I have to go rehearse now."
"Lindsey, Wah Wah Wah, Mr. Fenburr said you're free to move around the theater."
"I'll take my leave then!"
Yaostar hurried off.
Wah Wah Wah twisted her body and sat next to Lindsey.
"Lindsey, what's wrong with that old woman?"
Lindsey replied solemnly, "She speaks in vague terms, and we must clarify things."
Wah Wah Wah sensed Lindsey's seriousness and didn't show any jealousy this time.
"Then we'll go to the Actors' Guild to find her later."
"But Lindsey, people like her are rarely seen. Are you prepared to be turned away?"
Lindsey was indifferent, "I understand."
Wah Wah Wah stood up from her chair, "Lindsey, should we head back?"
But Lindsey shook his head, "No, we're not leaving yet."
Wah Wah Wah asked in confusion, "You're staying at the theater?"
Lindsey nodded, "The Awakener... That person suggested that we stay at the theater during the art festival. It's a special reminder from an Eight-Stage Awakener, so we should take it seriously."
"..."
Wah Wah Wah pouted.
Although she didn't like Fenna, it was indeed more appropriate to accept this suggestion.
Especially after today's events.
If she and Lindsey stayed at the theater, they would theoretically receive Fenburr's enthusiastic treatment without any trouble.
Wah Wah Wah changed her mind and took the initiative to lead the way, "Come, Lindsey, I'll take you somewhere!"
Lindsey followed naturally.
Wah Wah Wah had lived and worked in Fenburr Theatre for several years and was even more familiar with its layout than most young actors.
She led Lindsey through the theater, intimately familiar with the way home.
Lindsey took the opportunity to ask, "Wah Wah Wah, is the reason you're afraid of swimming also related to your origins?"
"Isn't it a bit funny?" Wah Wah Wah turned her head and smiled awkwardly, "My parents are a painting, so I..."
Lindsey interrupted her, "I think we can pause the swimming practice."
"At times like this, we should first find a way to overcome the psychological barriers before continuing with the learning."
Wah Wah Wah felt Lindsey's concern and nodded naturally.
A few minutes later, the two arrived at the basement level of the theater, standing before an oak door that had been sealed for years.
On the signboard next to the door, a string of graceful and elegant handwriting remained.
—[Selena]
Lindsey asked, "Was this your room before?"
Wah Wah Wah nodded slightly, "Mr. Fenburr said he would keep this room for me."
The room was protected by Essence techniques.
Wah Wah Wah didn't need a key; she twisted the doorknob, and the door, untouched for years, sensed its owner's return and automatically unlocked.
Lindsey stepped into the room.
This place served as both a haven for actors to rest and a stage for preparation.
A semi-transparent moonstone was inlaid at the top of the room, and a faint blue glow from the moonstone filled the space, illuminating the spacious makeup table on the left.
Across from the makeup table was a delicate and exquisite clothes rack.
Hanging on it were various costumes, each representing different roles and stories. It seemed that with just a light touch, the sleeping souls within could be awakened.
At the end of their vision, deep within the room, was Wah Wah Wah's former resting place—a velvet bed that lay quietly, with various scripts and manuscripts from years ago scattered on it.
Click—
Lindsey stared at the room before him, but behind him, Wah Wah Wah locked the door.
The girl's eyes were filled with a shy, flirtatious gaze.
"Lindsey, I've decided not to perform on stage anymore."
"But tonight, I want to sing for you here..."
