Chapter 242: The Fool Boatman

Before becoming a Beyonder, Audrey already knew of the existence of the Phantom Realm, but entering the Phantom Realm as an ordinary person was extremely demanding, so even though Audrey yearned for it, she was powerless to do so.

"I am going to complete all my Fantasy adventures today!" Audrey stood on tiptoe with joy, watching the Fool Boat get closer and closer.

"I am the Fool... boatman?" Klein felt a bit dizzy; after he advanced to "Illusionist," the Phantom Realm's attraction to him surged significantly, causing him to be sucked in here before he could react.

This actually couldn't be considered dangerous; after all, the Phantom Realm had a good reputation among Beyonders, and in the eyes of many wild Beyonders, it was an extremely important source of Potion Formula.

More importantly, that world filled with Fantasy and adventure was like the reverse of the treacherous and sinister world, allowing people to forget all their troubles and immerse themselves in the most wonderful dreams.

——Beyonders are able to remain clear-headed and autonomously create dreams; there is everything in dreams!

According to internal statistics from the Dream Sect, after the Phantom Realm appeared, the normal loss-of-control probability for Beyonders across the entire world dropped by fifty percent.

Er, this "normal loss of control" refers to situations where one loses control due to the mental Corruption of Beyonder Characteristics without external forces.

Under such circumstances, it is not as if there are no people who permanently reside in the Phantom Realm; they treat the Phantom Realm entirely as a second real world.

"Hello?" Audrey asked suspiciously.

"Ah! Right, please board the boat." Klein woke up with a start.

"Thank you, Mr. Boatman." Audrey held the edge of her cape and jumped onto the Fool Boat together with Susie.

"It is quite reasonable for me, a 'Fool', to operate a Fool Boat..." Klein felt powerless to retort.

As for why he became a Fool Boat boatman, this likely had something to do with the "Fantasy" Pathway.

Legend has it that the entire Phantom Realm was created by the "Supreme Dream," so it is only reasonable for a Beyonder of the "Fantasy" Pathway to come in and work.

"However, this young lady seems a bit familiar?" Klein looked at Audrey and the large golden-furred dog wearing a cape, his expression slightly strange.

Audrey looked over subconsciously, and Klein, alert, immediately used his "Clown" ability to control his facial expressions to turn his face into a deadpan mask.

"This Mr. Boatman..." Audrey was a bit confused, then exchanged glances with Susie.

Susie understood and, while wandering, inadvertently looked at Klein.

"A Beyonder pet dog... it really is Miss 'Justice'!" Klein began to row the boat with a blank expression.

The Fool Boat started and began to travel on the lake surface, and then, without any special changes, it flew straight up into the sky!

The lake water diverted to reach the heavenly realm, and the Fool Boat followed the current upward.

"Wow!" Audrey didn't care about her lady-like demeanor anymore; she covered her mouth and looked at the shocking scene before her in amazement.

Honestly, Klein was also amazed; after all, it was his first time entering the Phantom Realm, seeing such a scene from a Fantasy fairy tale.

"How magical!"

Upon seeing the Dream Cloud, Audrey hurriedly turned to look at Klein, "Mr. Boatman, could you introduce it to me?"

"I don't know..." Klein's heart skipped a beat, but in the next moment, his eyes seemed to see something.

"Dream Cloud, ID, Creator:..., Main Content: Amusement Park, Status: Open..."

What is this? Employee handbook? Klein maintained his composure and began to introduce this piece of Dream Cloud.

"This Dream Cloud is in an open state; you may enter to watch and play."

"Huh? You can actually go inside?" Audrey was stunned.

"Yes, viewing is free, but playing requires paying a 'Sweet Dream'." Klein recited the rules with a blank expression.

Who set these rules? Why do they feel somewhat familiar?

"A 'Sweet Dream'?" Audrey's eyes lit up, but she weighed it and calmed down; "Sweet Dreams" were too precious in the Phantom Realm to be wasted on a single Dream Cloud, and she still had to go to that legendary Fairyland!

"Let's go in... and take a look." Audrey blushed slightly; she was actually "out of money."

This was truly a wonderful experience; even at the Tarot Club, this had never happened...

"Alright!" Klein also thought of this and suppressed his laughter, but he still took an extra look at this Miss "Justice."

He began to move the Wooden Oar, taking Audrey and Susie to tour and view various Dream Clouds without truly entering any of them to play.

"I want to go to... Fairy Tale Town!" Audrey looked at the distant Moon Palace and made her decision.

Compared to that embodiment of beauty, Audrey was more curious about the town that gathered all the fairy tale Symbols of this world.

"Alright!" The real Fairy Tale Town is on the third level of the Phantom Realm, where the most incredible Fairyland of the Phantom Realm exists, gathering almost all of people's Fantasy about beauty.

The number of Fairylands is inestimable, and Fairy Tale Town is one of the most famous among them.

Hum!

The Fool Boat crashed into the Fairyland where Fairy Tale Town was located.

At the same time, Audrey took out a ball of light and tossed it; this was the "Sweet Dream" that must be paid to tour the Fairyland.

The "Sweet Dream" landed in Klein's hand, and he almost subconsciously peeked into the dream within.

"A story of a little girl's adventure, symbolizing a yearning for the unknown."

At this moment, Klein became Audrey's tour guide.

"I'll take you in." The Fool Boat swayed and soon entered an ocean.

The mist on the ocean gradually dissipated, and a small seaside town appeared before the two people and one dog.

This was a small town formed by a blend of countless styles; various architectural styles and strange terrains were concentrated together, appearing absurd yet reasonable.

This could only exist in a world of Fantasy.

Clack!

The Wooden Oar in Klein's hand slipped out and fell into the sea. Audrey blinked; there was still a distance to the shore.

Klein and Audrey's eyes met, and for a moment, the atmosphere became awkward.

Klein was still a bit dazed; what was going on?!

"Cough, cough! Did you lose this golden oar, or this silver oar? Or perhaps this Wooden Oar?"

A voice echoed over the sea, and with a bit of shimmering light condensing, a blurry shadow appeared, with three oars identical except for their material floating in front of him.

This time, Klein no longer hid his expression, and it became somewhat subtle.

"Oh, has it already started?" Audrey looked at the blurry shadow, her mood cheerful and bright.

Gods of the dream realm... Klein recalled this kind of "creature," which seemed to be a "god" born of the Phantom Realm, possessing a certain Authority within the Phantom Realm and capable of borrowing the power of the entire world.

"Make your choice, young man!" That blurred shadow nodded gently toward Audrey, then asked Klein.

"Eh, can Mr. Boatman also participate in fairy tales?" Audrey was also looking at Klein.

Roselle, is there anything you haven't plagiarized?! Klein was completely numb.
