Chapter 47: The Strange Dream Appears Again
In any case, being able to initially manipulate one's own dream was considered to have touched the threshold of Nightmare Magic.
Not many of the Somnolent family's ancestors were able to do this.
According to the manuscript, the next step for Theo was to constantly expand the size of the dream space that he could control.
At present, Theo could only simulate a small corner of London street in his dream...
According to speculation, when he could spread the simulated environment to the size of a whole street, he would have the ability to carry out the next step, which was the final step.
And this final step made Theo feel absurd and contradictory just by looking at it.
How could it be possible...
This final step was to move the power of the dream into reality while awake.
For example, move the London street scene that was transformed in the dream into reality and let others see it...
The most important thing was that during this process, the caster must be awake and not fall asleep!
In other words, Theo had to let others see the daydream he created.
As long as this step was achieved, this magic could be used to put others to sleep and then manipulate their dreams at will...
Seeing this, Theo knew that this was not a goal that he could achieve in the short term.
He decisively put down the manuscript and stood up to stretch.
His mood became happy again.
Although it was difficult to reach the final step, he could continuously strengthen his soul strength while practicing this magic.
This alone was worth the price!
You know, the correlation between magic strength and soul strength had been verified by experiments!
In this world where magic power seemed to only be strengthened by age, he could now strengthen it by practice!
This wave was really a blood profit!
"Toby, let's go back!"
"Okay, Young Master Theo, do you want to Apparate back by yourself, or do you want Toby to take you back?" Toby asked considerately.
"Take me for a ride... I seem to be unable to use magic temporarily now. My head hurts as soon as I cast a spell... I have to go back and have a good sleep."
...
Back at the Hog's Head, Theo fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
The cheering potion could only cheer up his spirit for a short time.
The consumed soul power could not be replenished immediately and could only be slowly restored by sleep.
According to Theo's instructions, Toby sat by Theo's bed and took care of him carefully, never leaving, which made Tom grit his teeth.
This bastard really didn't give him any chance!
With Toby watching, Tom couldn't attack Theo.
While Tom regretted, he was also very puzzled.
He had only been out for a few hours. How could this guy, who could usually stay up for days and nights without sleeping, suddenly be so tired?
He looked like he hadn't slept for a month...
"Toby, where did Theo go? Why is he so tired?" Tom asked.
"Toby promised Young Master Theo that he couldn't say anything. Even to Young Master Tom, Young Master Theo's best friend!" Toby said seriously.
Tom frowned. He intuitively felt that this must be related to Theo's powerful secret, but...
He now had a very good understanding of house-elves.
House-elves would never disobey their master's orders. That was to say, he couldn't get any information from Toby.
However, Toby must know some of Theo's secrets!
Tom secretly made up his mind. When he learned some magic that could spy on other people's inner secrets in the future, he would start with Toby and find out the secret of Theo's power!
At that time, he would take revenge!
But now...
"He fell asleep as soon as he came back... Did he eat? Don't starve him."
"Thank you for your concern. Young Master Theo has eaten."
...
Theo slept for a long time.
Even Tom, such a hard-working person, couldn't help but want to sleep, but Theo didn't show any signs of waking up.
Tom glanced at Toby, who was still sitting by the bed, energetic, and couldn't help but curse a few words in his heart.
Then he helplessly fell on his bed and covered himself with the quilt...
The night gradually deepened, and Tom's breathing gradually became steady.
Suddenly, Theo's fingers moved, and his originally calm eyeballs began to roll under his eyelids.
Theo, who had been dreaming all day, dreamed again.
And this dream was very familiar...
This was a place full of white mist.
In the distance, under the cover of the white mist, a dark figure was waving at Theo.
The black figure's mouth opened and closed, as if trying to say something to him.
Theo, who had learned Nightmare Magic, woke up in the dream immediately.
Then he immediately remembered that he had had a dream exactly like this last time!
It was just that the last dream was interrupted by Grindelwald's attack before it was finished...
However, unlike the previous time, Theo could vaguely hear the other party's voice this time.
The voice seemed to have been processed, and it was impossible to tell whether it was male or female.
Moreover, Theo couldn't hear what he was saying.
He only heard individual words.
"...follow... power... dream..."
He couldn't hear any of the other words.
So Theo tried to manipulate the dream and wanted to move his position over so that he could hear what he was saying.
However, his attempt to manipulate the dream this time was not successful at all!
This surprised Theo very much.
"Could it be... this is not my dream?"
Theo had to give up the idea of manipulating the dream and walked towards the figure with difficulty.
He didn't know why, but in this dream, he felt his legs were unusually heavy...
After a long time, Theo finally walked up to the figure.
But at this time, the figure suddenly became silent!
Looking at the figure in front of him, which was like the little black man in Conan, Theo was a little angry.
When I didn't get here, you seemed to have a lot to say to me, but when I got here, you didn't say anything?
"Who are you?" Theo asked in a deep voice.
The figure spoke, and this time Theo heard it very clearly, "Follow it and come find me."
Then Theo felt his whole body lighten, and then the world turned upside down...
Theo suddenly sat up on the bed and felt very energetic now!
He saw Toby, who had fallen asleep by his bed at some point, and...
The lighter that emitted a blue light on the bedside table next to Toby!
At this time, the lighter was vibrating slightly...
Theo didn't wake Toby up. He reached out and picked up the lighter on the table.
He tentatively pressed his finger lightly on the blue light.
"Click!"
The lid of the lighter opened automatically.
A dark blue flame popped out of the lighter and then floated into the air!
After the flame floated around Theo's head, it floated out of the window...
At this time, Theo remembered what the black figure said in the dream just now, "Follow it and come find me."
Theo didn't hesitate. Since the other party could enter his dream at will, it might be extremely simple for him to kill himself.
At present, it seemed that there was no other way but to do what he said...
Theo put on his shoes, picked up an old wand, first hit the sleeping Tom with a Stupefy, and then Theo's figure disappeared from the room and Apparated on the road outside the window.
Strangely, the movement of Apparition was not small, but Toby was still not awakened...
The streets of Hogsmeade Village were empty late at night, with only a few wind lamps emitting dim light.
The small blue flame was suspended in the middle of the street, motionless, as if waiting for Theo.
When Theo appeared in front of the flame, the flame began to sway forward again, like a will-o'-the-wisp leading the way...
