Start in Another World With All Cooking Skills

After inquiring about Qima Snow Mountain from Grandma Ailian, Don and Vivian left her house.

It was still late at that time, and the snow outside was thick and the temperature was low.

When we parted, the enthusiastic old lady asked if I needed to stay overnight. However, Donne casually found an excuse and declined.

After all, spending the night in the story world is much more comfortable and comfortable.

After leaving Grandma Ailian's house, Don replayed the stories told by the other party in his mind.

"Actually, what I'm very concerned about is that, those who enter the earl's tomb will be petrified..." Don thought to himself.

So far, it is known that whether it is the foreigner who entered the snow-capped mountain or the young hunter that Ailian mentioned, even if they have actually been to Earl Winfon's tomb, they all fell into a petrified state and died after leaving the tomb——

The outsider died in an uninhabited hut in Laika Village, and even stole the pot from Grandma Ailian before he died; the petrified body of the young hunter was found at the foot of the snow-capped mountain.

Combined with the sentence on the paper left by the outsider——

[Looks like I'm dying, rocks cover my left hand, damn it...]

It can be concluded that this petrification effect originated from somewhere in the snow mountain, and it is chronic.

After being cursed by some kind of petrification, within a certain period of time, the body will be slowly covered by rocks.

That's pretty much what it feels like.

"Grandma Ailian said that this curse originated from the Earl of Skinning. Anyone who breaks into his tomb will be stripped of their skin and covered with rocks instead."

This statement is certainly flawed.

This is more like the people who spread the story, in order to make the story more in line with the character setting of "The Earl of Skinning", they added their own conjectures.

Granny Ai Lian saw that foreign man in her own home last night and recognized him.

Therefore, before the man returned from the snow-capped mountains, he must have never experienced the torture of "skinning" in Earl Wenfeng's tomb.

"The source of the petrified curse is more likely than the Earl of Skinning." Donne thought while rubbing his chin.

Before dying, a man from a foreign country left such a word on a piece of paper - [Rock Guard].

Intuitively speaking, Dawn feels that even if this [Rock Guard] is not the source of the curse of petrification, it must be directly related to this curse.

"There may be a rock guard with special abilities in the snow mountain. Hmm... It's a pity, it sounds like it can't be eaten."

...

that night.

After 10 o'clock in the evening, the villagers who had no entertainment to do fell asleep early, and the whole Laika village was silent, and there were no lights in sight.

In a certain period of time after that, the villagers of Laika Village began to dream.

No matter men, women, young or old, they are all dreaming a similar dream, an exceptionally clear and real dream.

They seem to have all returned to their childhood in their dreams. Back to lying or sitting next to the elders at home, listening to them tell the legends and stories about Qima Snow Mountain.

In addition, in the dreams of the villagers, apart from themselves and the elders at home who tell the story, it seems that there is a third party in the whole process.

Appears to be a stranger, with unusually vague appearance, or no appearance of [his] at all in the dream.

The "faceless man" who has no appearance is sitting in a corner, and together with the protagonists in the dream, he is listening to the legend about the Qima Snow Mountain.

Because it is in a dream, it is normal for such weird "characters" to appear.

There is everything in the dream.

...

A young farmer living alone lives in a hut at the outermost edge of Laika Village.

At this time, the farmer was sleeping soundly on the bed under the old quilt.

Before he knew it, something happened around him.

There is a thick and majestic nightmare black energy gushing out from his body!

These ominous black air gathered around the bed, twisted, and finally outlined Dawn's figure.

This is one of the abilities of Donne's [Dream Walker] skill, [Walking in Dreamland].

Using this ability, he can turn his body into nightmare black energy, enter the dream world, and travel through the dream world.

The so-called "shuttle" means that Donne, who uses the [Dream Walker] to enter the dream, can jump directly from one dream to another within a certain range.

At present, the range is about 200 meters.

Moreover, the clothes and props he carries with him will also be accompanied by this ability to realize the virtual shuttle in the dream.

Using the skill [Dream Walker], Dawn can directly transform into a dark phantom, a nightmare in the dark.

very cool.

But he can only be cool at night in an area with sufficient population.

Tonight, Don has used the two abilities of [Weaving Dreams] and [Walking in Dreams] to visit the dreams of all the villagers in Laika Village.

And now the reason why it appears from the farmer's dream is because there is no one living within two hundred meters from here.

There is no suitable dream to make a point...

After coming out of the farmer's dream, Dawn swaggered open the door of his house and left without worrying about waking him up.

After all, as a walker in the dream, it shouldn't be too easy for an ordinary person to sleep overnight!

Therefore, the young farmer on the bed still slept soundly and snored loudly from beginning to end.

After leaving the outermost houses of Laika Village, and walking another five or six hundred meters to the outside of the village, you can see a pile of extinguished campfires and an empty carriage with no horses in sight.

Don got into the carriage and took out "Alice's Bedtime Reading" from his arms.

After reading the real name of this book, his outline disappeared, as if his existence was erased by an invisible eraser.

And "Alice's Bedtime Reading" gently landed on the carriage.

The world of stories, the ancient castle in the middle of the lake.

In the castle hall, Vivienne was sitting on a soft sofa, holding an ebony staff, squinting her eyes, and yawning.

"Uh-Dawn, you're back, uh. Alice and the others have just gone upstairs to sleep."

Noticing Dorne's return, Miss Goblin stood up holding her staff, perhaps because she was sleepy, her voice was softer than usual.

"You should go to bed first like Alice, and you don't need to wait for me to come back."

"Hum—I'm not very sleepy yet." Although she said she wasn't sleepy, Vivienne's voice was a bit vague, "Well, how is your investigation going?"

"I roughly explored the dreams of the villagers. The stories about Qima Snow Mountain that most people know are similar to those told by Grandma Ailian. From them, I guess we won't get any new information."

Don told the truth.

"Then what shall we do next?" Miss Goblin propped herself up with an ebony staff, her body wobbling slightly.

Dorn helplessly patted her on the head: "Get a good night's sleep first, and tomorrow we will go to the Snow Mountain to see what we planned."
