Hobert struggled to grab the black cane, but he was tied so tightly by the rope that no matter how hard he tried, he was always just a little short of reaching it.
The steam train was getting closer and closer, and it was even accelerating. It might crash into him in just two or three seconds.
Hobert forced himself to calm down, and he tried to visualize the "Zombie Spoon." This magical item, which he had been carrying with him recently, appeared almost instantly in his left hand.
With the blessing of the "Zombie Spoon," Hobert's strength increased greatly, and his hand was finally able to extend just a bit further, grasping the black cane.
Hobert closed his eyes, and the steam car he was in turned into a cardboard cutout with a car pattern, and the ropes binding him turned into thin threads.
He suddenly leaped forward, finally breaking free from his restraints.
Just as he left the tracks, the train sped past, the cardboard was crushed by the wheels, and the train roared past Hobert's back.
Woo~ ah~
The train's whistle once again turned into an unwilling roar.
Hobert gripped the cane tightly with both hands and began to meditate.
When he opened his eyes again, he was sleeping in a luxurious room in the inner city of Ganaliar. He was twisting his body, sleeping in an uncomfortable position, with one hand grasping the sealing wax stamp made of "Order Crystal" and the watch key on the bedside table.
Hobert adjusted his lying position to relieve the soreness in his body. He thought, "Fortunately, the sealing wax stamp was placed on the bedside table."
"The power of the 'Nation of Disorder' helped me become conscious in the dream world, giving me the power to change the rules of the dream."
As for why he would grab the sealing wax stamp in his sleep, he believed it was his own spirituality trying to save himself.
Recalling the scene in the dream, Hobert quickly realized that he had been contaminated by some of the content in "Colin Antigonus's Notes" during the day.
Even just glancing at it in the real world, without understanding it, he was still contaminated!
The process of contamination was very secretive, and it had not reached an irreversible level.
Hobert recalled Lena's words after "coming back to life." He believed that the contamination was ongoing, and the part of his astral body that was contaminated in his sleep was seizing control of his subjective consciousness.
Those dreams were just a manifestation of this process. If Hobert had been injured or even killed in the following two dreams, then his subjective consciousness might also have been contaminated or directly fallen.
Hobert rejoiced again, "How close! Fortunately, I have the protection of the 'Nation of Disorder,' otherwise I would definitely follow in the footsteps of Spike and Colin."
Then Hobert realized a very serious problem: the contamination still existed in his astral body, and it was still expanding.
Regarding how to solve this problem, Hobert immediately had two ideas: one was to enter the "Nation of Disorder" to see if there was a way to solve it, and the other was to ask "The Fool" for help.
Currently, "The Fool" is best at solving various contaminations.
After a little thought, Hobert decided to enter the "Nation of Disorder" first to try it out. Although the "Nation of Disorder" does not have much operability on spirit bodies and astral projections, its position is there, and there may be some ways.
Coming to the washroom, Hobert made sure that no one was monitoring him, and then he entered the "Nation of Disorder" by walking backwards.
[T/N: Another Lord of the Bathrooms?]
As soon as he sat on the "Iron Throne," Hobert heard a voice from his body: "I didn't expect you to have so many secrets!"
Hobert saw a mouth appear on his abdomen, and it was this mouth that was speaking just now.
Immediately afterwards, eyes and a nose appeared above the mouth, and those eyes were looking at everything around with greedy eyes: "If I offer these to the Mother Goddess, She will definitely reward me!"
Hobert frowned: this face is another me, the corrupted me.
Dong~
Just as Hobert was preparing to try using the "Power of Order" to see if it would work, a muffled and melodious bell suddenly appeared in the "Nation of Disorder."
This bell was very heavy, so heavy that it tore a gap in the palace that Hobert had "built."
Hobert felt something and saw the bell tower in the air of the "Nation of Disorder" through the torn gap.
The melodious bell came from there.
"Ugh ah~" The face on Hobert's stomach let out a scream. The face was like a melted candle, gradually melting, and finally Hobert's stomach had no abnormalities.
Hobert looked again at the bell tower "hanging upside down" in the air: "This is the real 'Bell of Order'!"
A Outer God, a corruption of the Above the Sequences, was instantly dissolved in the bell!
Hobert did not mend the gap in the main hall. He wanted to be able to see the "Bell of Order" whenever he looked up!
Then Hobert used a piece of "Order Crystal" to transform it into a black bracelet. He planned to wear this bracelet even when he was sleeping, so that he could use the power of the "Nation of Disorder" in his dreams.
Returning to the real world, Hobert was no longer sleepy. He lit a candle and made sure that those dangerous descriptions were torn off before he dared to continue carrying the "Notes" with him.
Hobert also found some books from the Feynapotter Kingdom and continued to learn to read and write the Feynapotter language, and he did not feel sleepy until dawn.
The next morning, after breakfast, Hobert and others, in the farewell of the Ganaliar dignitaries, boarded a special train and embarked on a journey to Feynapotter City.
On the train, Hobert, who had learned English in the AD era, always tried to communicate with Count Bianchi in the Feynapotter language. He knew that the best way to learn a new language is to listen and practice more.
It took several years to learn a foreign language in the AD era, but in this world, Hobert was able to communicate in the Feynapotter language with stumbles in just four days.
Of course, this is related to the fact that the languages of the countries in the Northern Continent all originate from ancient Feysac.
This railway that leads to the capital is basically built along the edge of the plain. On the left, there are many places where there is not even a hill, and you can't see the other side of the plain even if you try your best.
On the right side of the railway are continuous mountains. At first, it belonged to Golfito County, and later the mountainous area belonged to Colson County.
Hobert still remembered that Christian had talked about the situation in Colson County. There is a small river flowing through the mountains. There used to be a prosperous waterway, but the waterway is now interrupted due to unknown factors.
Goods imported and exported from Seville, the largest port in the Feynapotter Kingdom, can only be transported to the capital Feynapotter City by rail or by taking a large detour from the Yawi River in the west.
Both freight and travel are very inconvenient.
After taking the train north for a day and a half, the shadow of Feynapotter City finally appeared in everyone's sight.
Hobert smiled and said, "At least there is no smog here."
