◈ Episode 532 Rip Van Winkle (1)
“How did you get here?”
“How do you come? Oh, it’s a bridge.”
Sandman patted his thigh with his hand and made a sound of pain.
He raised his eyebrows and glared at Rudger.
“I hurriedly followed you because it looked like it would somehow go into the depths just by looking at it.”
“I thought it would take quite a while, but you came sooner than I thought.”
“Originally, it would have taken a long time! Given the circumstances, I came quickly because I was a bit overworked. I even brought this.”
Jantmann said that and showed the luggage he had brought.
Ludger, who saw the large luggage, instinctively recognized that it was the object that Clara had been giving him.
“Is that it?”
Ludger’s gaze moved from the luggage to Sandman’s hands and legs.
Outside, Zantman was dressed in a comfortable outfit, but after entering Dreamland, he wore a suit with the logo of the School of Dreams in earnest.
Brass-colored gloves and leggings worn over the outfit.
Looking at the barometer and watch embedded in the back of the glove, it was by no means an ordinary item.
“It’s a thing called siesta. When you enter Dreamland, I adjust the dream pressure so that you don’t get swept away by the dreams of this world and keep the time flow of reality as close as possible. It is an essential artifact to enter the depths.”
So another name for the siesta was the wetsuit.
Just like a diving suit protects the body from the cold and lessons when going into the deep sea and periodically supplies oxygen.
Because the siesta also protects the wearer when entering the depths of Dreamland.
“Usually, you can move up to the upper middle level of Dream Land without any problems, but Siesta is a must to get to the middle… … .”
Sandman stared at Ludger in disbelief.
“I can’t pass through the middle so easily and reach the entrance to the lower part. Besides, it still looks fine. How did you get your mental strength?”
“Even though it looks like this, I had a hard time.”
“It’s sad to hear that. Seeing you say that, it seems like hard work isn’t enough. I should have said more so that these words would not come out.”
It was hard to come up with good words from Zandman.
It’s dangerous, so even if you stay still, it’s not enough, and you enter the danger zone without wearing proper equipment.
I understand that the situation is urgent, but as a professional, Ludger’s actions were too reckless.
If Clara hadn’t been told to protect her because she was a very important person, I would have left her alone, dismissing her as a natural death.
However, because that couldn’t be the case, even after he came down to the middle layer, he came all the way here alone, leaving behind the wizards of other schools.
Even with the siesta that Rudger would wear.
Would that young man know?
Just now, how much of a chance to be a genius.
Sandman was about to get it out of his mouth.
Although Rudger’s physical condition was too fine, there were as many as three people next to him.
‘no. Aren’t they completely human?’
One is a dwarf girl.
the other… … It has a subtle elf feel to it. That would be mixed blood.
It’s hard to be fine alone in the central region, and it’s even harder to move with others.
‘The pure white landscape of the central part is a drawing paper for projecting human desires and the past. It wouldn’t have been a normal mess since there were not just one brush, but four.’
Still, everyone seemed unharmed.
Was it because all four of you were so talented?
‘The only one who can roughly show his skills is a small, mixed-race child. The other two are not so much.’
Because it was Dreamland, Zantman could roughly gauge his ability by the momentum flowing from his opponent.
He judged that among those four people, only one could withstand the harsh environment of Dreamland.
‘But the fact that all four are fine… … .’
It means that only one led the rest.
‘Is this possible?’
it will be possible
Didn’t it unfold right in front of your eyes?
Jantmann seemed to know why the master, Clara, told him to take a good look at Ludger.
“Anyway, now that I’m here, it’s good to take an hour off.”
“Can I wear that Siesta now?”
“I don’t need it right now. It’s fine like this, but isn’t it a loss if you waste energy already? You can get it before you go in there.”
Hans, who had been silent at that time, opened his mouth.
“Who is that?”
“ah. Come to think of it, I didn’t introduce myself. I say zantman He is a magician belonging to the School of Dreams and one of the Dream Walkers. What about that one?”
“I am Hans. This is Sedina Lawchen, and this is Sheridan Iron Pete.”
“Hmm. That’s right. for a moment… … Sedina? Sedina Rosshen?”
Jantmann shook his head when he heard the familiar name.
Sedina didn’t seem to understand why Zantman was calling her name.
“It is you! The friend my youngest couldn’t live and die for!”
“yes yes?”
“Ooh. look at this little body Are you eating rice? Will grandpa give me some candy?”
“I-over there… … .”
It was a scene where Julia would have screamed at him to stop right away.
Sedina felt the pressure of Zandtmann’s sudden interest in her, but the word “maknae” he said lingered in her ears.
“That, the youngest person… … .”
“Ew? Aren’t you two friends?”

“A friend? ah!”
Sedina then realized who Zantman was talking about.
If you think about it, you should have noticed from the moment he introduced himself as a member of the Dream School.
The reason for not doing so was that Zantman was also an extremely old wizard, but there was also a reason that was very different from her imagination.
“The magicians of the dream school… … Somewhere mysterious and mysterious people… … .”
“ok? Who is it?”
“that… … .”
Sedina thought of Julia’s figure.
outstanding appearance. overwhelming talent. Even one lofty department has the same attitude.
Julia was always alone, but no one pointed a finger at her.
A single flower on the cliff that no one can match or match with her.
Because that was the perception of Julia.
It could not be said that the background of the daydream school did not play a role in creating that perception.
“that is… … .”
But what should I say about the magician of the dream school I met in real life?
A little bit frivolous.
It’s not something mysterious and something that can only come out of oral fairy tales, but a feeling that you can see commonly in rural areas.
It wasn’t necessarily bad, though.
She’s so at odds with Julia, the dream walker she’s been seeing, that I don’t know what’s going on.
“Heh heh heh. Didn’t the youngest gonom go out and do all sorts of quirks? When I go back later, I’ll have a year’s worth of stuff to play with.”
From Sedina’s reaction, Zantman immediately recognized where she was disappointed.
It was really hard not to know.
Many visitors to the School of Dreams had similar reactions to Sedina.
However, because they were Julia’s friends, they thought they would know a little about them, but they were so embarrassed.
It must be that Julia desperately refused to tell the story of her seniors.
Anyway, that’s what these days are about.
Sandman clicked his tongue but did not forget what he had to do.
“teacher. I’m in a hurry, can you explain the situation exactly how this happened?”
Sudden sleeping sickness.
And even the appearance of members of the family that have not been seen before.
Sandman came this far because he had to deal with urgent matters, but there were too many unanswered questions.
“It’s quite a long story.”
Rudger explained to Sandman how this happened.
An old man named Nirva, his followers, and even the fact that he is waiting for something to wake up in the depths of Dreamland.
After hearing the whole story, Sandman’s expression hardened.
“I thought it wouldn’t be normal, but it’s much worse than that. I finally understand why Master warned me so much.”
Sandman sighed and brushed his beard.
“teacher. Are you going to keep going?”
“I’ve come this far, can I go back?”
“Write. I guess so. Even if you run away, it will be useless. But it’s okay to go first and use poison.”
“If you are worried, you can wait here. I will go down first.”
“What are you looking at me for? Come all the way here and get out of here? If I did, everyone in my school would laugh at me. You could never do that!”
That’s what he said, but Jantman came all this way to fight from the beginning.
Rudger didn’t know that either.
“Take it at once. It’s a special siesta made for you.”
Jantmann handed over the siesta he brought to Ludger.
The large case was opened, revealing stylish gloves and leggings inside.
Unlike other siesta’s that were brass, Ludger’s was pitch black.
And the design is much slimmer and sleeker.
“You look a little different.”
“It’s special. I just told them to make it the same, but the guy who made this said how he could do that and made it with a feeling that suits the teacher. Well, to be honest, it doesn’t look too bad.”
Rudger had Siesta’s gloves on his hands.
The black gloves made of metal automatically adjusted in size and changed to fit the hand.
Rudger could feel it the moment he wore it.
The energy of Dreamland, which subtly oppressed her mind, disappeared as if something had blocked it.
While I was holding my breath in deep water, I had to put on an oxygen respirator.
‘That’s why Dreamwalkers said it was a must-have item. Please stay for sure.’
Ludger admired with shining eyes, and Sandman gave one piece of advice.
“Is there a green gem on the back of your hand? Let’s pour a little magic there.”
I did as he was told, and the green jewel turned bluish.
Eventually, a translucent force field was created around Ludger.
“Uh huh?”
“Whoa.”
Hans, Sedina, and Sheridan, who had entered the station field, involuntarily let out a sigh of relief.
It was thanks to being freed from the nightmares inflicted by Dream Land without knowing or knowing it.
“It will be quite a burden on you to maintain it, but you can safely move up to 10 people in your party.”
It wasn’t just tailored to individual users, but did you even care about the role of colleagues who would move together?
“At this point, it should be called a submarine, not a wetsuit.”
“It was the master’s order. That’s why their role is so important.”
“So, what is the name of this object?”
“name?”
“If it’s special, wouldn’t that name befitting the special?”
“As soon as I made it, I packed it up and popped out, so I wonder if there was even time to put a name on it. Anyway, as the owner said, I will attach it.”
“Are you saying you want to completely hand over ownership, not rental?”
“Uh huh. Sir, we are not merchants. Especially in an emergency situation like now, I’m not the one who rolls my head to take care of myself.”
Seeing Zandman talking while staring at him with straight eyes, Ludger let out a smirk.
In this emergency situation, he is a person who moves for a cause, not for personal greed.
It seemed that the people of the School of Dreams knew why the idealists had gathered.
If only Zantman, who can be called the head of the group, is like this, then it is only natural that the same goes for those below him.
In this world, if there were a lot more people like this, it would be a better place to live.
‘no. It’s no use though. Since the basis of the world itself is wrong, it’s not something that can be solved just by gathering individual people.’
Rudgar shook his head and cleared his thoughts.
“It’s a name.”
Seeing the black gloves covering his hands, Ludger suddenly remembered a story.
A story about how the world has changed after spending so many years locked in a dream.
There is a saying that the pot sack may rot in Sinseonnoreum, and there are various similar traditional fairy tales.
Rudger decided to give it a name inspired by it.
“[Rip Van Winkle]. I hope this is good.”
When you enter the depths of Dreamland, you will be sent a completely different timeline from the outside.
Considering the name attached to these gloves, isn’t it a timely situation indeed?
Rudgar knows the end of the story that could be the origin of this name.
Even so, the name given to it doesn’t match the current situation, right?
It was to endlessly recall the situation now that entered this world.
I am.
no.
We are determined that we will never meet an ending like this.
“Let’s go. After passing through that door, you will be able to go deeper.”
With only Zantman added, the party moved towards the huge door.
