Hao Ren did not expect to receive such important information. He was just here to help these black wolves cure their broken teeth. It appeared that being a good man and keeping his promise had rewarded him. He hastened to call the alpha wolf, who was ready to leave. "Wait a minute, tell us more details about this person."
"Are you interested in her?" The alpha wolf squatted down to think, then it said, "Well, she was a very thin woman, probably the size of that woman with long hair over there (Vivian) but, a little taller. She was wearing a hooded outfit, looked like a hunter. She came from the north but, no one's supposed to be living in the north. Unless, she came to this place from the human state far north. The woman looked worried. She said that she came from another world and something had gone wrong during some sort of experiment. I didn’t understand her words. Anyway, she said she wanted to go home, and proceeded to ask about the most unstable space in this world. "
The information that the alpha wolf could provide was not much. Hao Ren later confirmed again and again the features of the woman who claimed to be from the Otherworld. However, a wolf’s ability to describe the features of a human was limited. In the end, Hao Ren could only deduce that it was a blonde woman, taller than Vivian, slim, and she was dressed in a white, hooded outfit. However, based on the alpha wolf's the description, Hao Ren had a hunch that she did not come from Earth.
If she was not from Earth then, where did she come from?
Hao Ren had been to outer space and seen other forms of life so, his way of thinking was much wider, and more open than before. He thought of scenarios where intelligent creatures that existed on other planets in the Superficial World could have possibly entered The Plane of Dreams by accident. Since humans from Earth could enter The Plane of Dreams by chance, intelligent creatures of other planets could have also done it.
It just seemed like the woman’s situation was a little more complicated: In normal circumstances, a person who entered The Plane of Dreams by accident would automatically exit it after waking up. However, this woman happened to be completely trapped in this world. This was a situation that Hao Ren had never heard of.
"What else did she say?" Hao Ren squatted on the ground levelling his eyes with that of the alpha wolf. "Like, where does she stay and how did she come to this place."
"How can I possibly understand so much." The alpha wolf dug the ground with its paw. "Please, I’m just a wolf. She said a bunch of strange nouns but, I remember her mentioning that her homeland's suffering... You don’t know that woman, do you?"
Hao Ren shook his head and stood up. "No, I don’t know her. I just find it weird... Do you know which way she went?"
"There is a mountain village in the west, and I know she had to have passed through there. I can’t tell you where she's heading beyond that. I don’t know how humans plan their journey. I just roughly pointed her to the Beinz Blood Lake. I assume she'll ask the locals later on."
After the alpha wolf finished talking, it stared into the sky, trying to recall its memory. It suddenly brought something up. "Oh, I thought of something. When I was talking to that woman, it was very strange. The speed of the conversation was very fast. It felt like she knew what I was about to say just as I started to speak. I don’t know if it’s just the illusion of human speech."
Hao Ren paused for a moment. He did not quite understand what this meant. After the alpha wolf roughly explained again, he had a faint feeling about it being some kind of communication beyond language. It seemed a bit similar to his mental connection with the MDT but, less efficient. It could have been the workings of some kind of technology or magic however, the alpha wolf was obviously not familiar with these things.
"I see." Hao Ren nodded. He then waved goodbye to the alpha wolf and said, "Thank you for the information. Well, off we go."
"Okay, till we meet again." The alpha wolf bowed its head with its front paws pushing the field of grass. It seemed to be offering friendship. "You are a very special human. I've decided to allow my pack to be friends with you. Next time, if you face any trouble in the South Prairie, just come to us."
Hao Ren laughed: He had really formed an incredible friendship, and if he got lost out on the prairies again, he did not have to worry about food…
The alpha wolf led his pack across the grassy knoll and disappeared from their sight. Hao Ren turned around and saw four pairs of very serious eyes: Even Lily, the silly girl also realised that they had a special harvest in this trip. It was clear that the woman who claimed to be from the Otherworld was of great significance.
Becky did not know why hao Ren and the rest of them were so interested in this matter. She leaned over curiously and asked, "From the Otherworld? Does it really exist?"
"Err, probably..." Hao Ren replied perfunctorily. Becky did not give up and kept on asking, "You seem to be very concerned about this matter. Is the woman an acquaintance of yours?"
Hao Ren hurriedly shook his head and denied it. "No, I totally don’t know her. But you see, we are studying Space Magic. So, of course we’re interested in this kind of thing…"
Hao Ren very much admired his ability to improvise!
Becky looked suspiciously at the mysterious people before her. It increasingly affirmed her suspiscions that these guys were quite dubious from head to toe, and she began to seriously consider that it was not wise of her to mix with these mysterious people so quickly. But, when she touched the "music box" in her pocket, she made up her mind: Who cares? She could decide later, at least until they get back from the Beinz Blood Lake. If she still felt suspicious, then they would just split up.
Vivian also noticed a change in the look on Becky’s face. To prevent the mercenary from changing her mind, she clapped her hands to divert attention and said, "Let’s keep going. We’ve had a long delay."
Now, there was another reason to go to the Beinz Blood Lake. They were going to try to find the mysterious woman who claimed to be from the Otherworld. If they could, they wanted to bring her back to the real world and give her to Raven 12345. Maybe she could figure out what was going on in the Plane of Dreams. Hao Ren felt that this trip was really not wasted. Everything was very smooth. They even got such an important clue along the way.
They embarked on their journey to the western village. Y’zaks continued to run behind the team; Lily ‘tied’ herself on horseback with stupid way as usual; Hao Ren, as usual, carried the kettle in one hand and grabbed the reins as if he was performing acrobatics, and followed behind Vivian. Becky actually found it weird early on, and now she could not help but asked, "What is that you’ve been carrying? Looks like a kettle."
Hao Ren was a quite embarrassed to admit that this is actually a kettle (on the earth). He can only explain perfunctorily, "Err, it’s for alchemy."
"You don’t even remember to bring any credentials when teleporting but you remember to carry this thing?" Becky was particularly surprised and then suddenly saw the light and said, "Oh, sure enough, you brain must be..."
Hao Ren almost jumped down from the horse, "You can try to say it again!"
Becky did not care and laughed, "Then your brain must be ruined while doing the experiment. Anyway, you guys are not very normal."
Hao Ren was speechless. He could only keep a distance with Becky silently, and then maintained the balance and carefully hold the kettle on his chest and opened the lid a little bit. The little mermaid immediately cling to the little opening and watching the scenery outside curiously. A pair of twirled small eyes gleamed with amazement under the lid. Hao Ren heard the splashing sound coming from the kettle. Without looking at it, he knew that it was the little fellow who was slapping her tail happily. She would slap her tail when she was happy, surprised, or hungry. The tail was her second communication organ. Hao Ren could almost master the knack of distinguishing the various meanings that the little one expressed with her tail. And this was easier than teaching her to speak.
Hao Ren was careful not to open the lid too big to prevent the overly excited Lil Pea from jumping out suddenly. However, oddly enough, the little mermaid behaved the same as in the town. Though she was amazed by the wide world outside, she had no intention to jump out, as if the vast expanse of the prairie also made the little one bewildered.
Anyway, this journey was an eye-opener for Lil Pea, she should be happy for quite a long time.
They were riding for a long time. When the sun gradually sank and left a gilt luster on the prairie in the distance, a small village finally appeared in front of them. Smoke was curling up from the village and could be seen far away.
The only village of the mountain people on the border of the Kingdom of Holletta was in sight.
