Chapter 401 Searching for the Awakened

The latest update is now live and awaits your interpretation.

"Hmph," Elizabeth glanced coldly at Bai Lin, forcing out the words, "I've long admired your name, but I never imagined that a magic master who dominated Europe would become a lackey of that scum, Hysiris!"

Lulu glanced at Bai Lin with a slight embarrassment. After all, it was she who introduced Haisilis to Bai Lin, but she didn't expect it to cause a misunderstanding with Elizabeth.

"You must be very tired..." Bai Lin asked Elizabeth out of the blue.

Elizabeth narrowed her eyes, somewhat impatiently saying, "What did you say?" She was already implying that he should leave. She wasn't afraid of offending Bai Lin. Although she wasn't very confident in a one-on-one fight, this was her manor, and the house contained many mechanisms and artifacts to deal with powerful outsiders. She felt that she would definitely not lose if she fought here.

Bai Lin glanced at the guests below the stage and said leisurely, "Just weaving your own ideas of justice and emotion must have exhausted you, right? You have no interest whatsoever in knowing what justice is in other people's hearts, do you?"

Elizabeth was somewhat annoyed, her brows furrowing slightly. She sat up straight and said with a hint of arrogance, "Then I'd like to hear what kind of righteous sophistry one would use to help a scoundrel who has committed countless evil deeds?"

Bai Lin stated frankly, "I came here to eliminate the minions of the ancient gods. Hysiris was able to provide me with some intelligence and manpower. Yesterday was just a coincidence."

But as for justice, all I know is that what you're hiding under the sofa is useless against me. Even if you put on a suit ten times better than yesterday's, you're still no match for me. The fact that I'm even talking to you politely is already the greatest kindness I can show you.

Elizabeth was furious and reached for the mechanism on the sofa, but Bai Lin had already struck first. A stream of chaotic purple-black energy shot out, and Elizabeth's hand felt like it had touched an electric switch, making her face turn pale and her heart filled with horror.

However, she wasn't one to give up easily. She braced herself with both hands, as if to deliver a flying kick to Bai Lin's face.

Unexpectedly, a golden halo blocked Elizabeth's attack. Lulu intervened in time to stop the conflict, but Bai Lin watched Elizabeth... He secretly lamented his loss.

Elizabeth sullenly sat back down. Her bodyguard and butler stepped forward, stylishly shoving their hands into their suits, indicating they would expel Bai Lin at her command. Elizabeth impatiently waved them away.

"Yi Yi" Lulu hugged Elizabeth's slender waist and kept acting cute towards her, which left Bai Lin dumbfounded. He never expected that Lulu would have such a girlish side.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes, considering the matter over. Although Elizabeth seemed like a domineering young lady, she wasn't stupid. Her previous encounter had taught her that Bai Lin was extremely powerful and possessed some abilities she couldn't comprehend. Unless there were any major principles of right and wrong or conflicts of interest, it was certainly better to be friends with such a person.

Bai Lin, of course, wasn't stingy. Since he was there to receive a gift, he naturally brought one. He took out a mithril bracelet crafted by Old Addison from his magical pouch and gave it to Elizabeth. This thing had rather useless stats; it was clearly a very feminine accessory, yet it boosted agility and stamina. Even Kiki had better equipment, so this thing had become a worthless junk. However, it was quite suitable as a gift for Elizabeth.

Lulu patiently helped Elizabeth put it on, and the young lady immediately felt the attribute boost brought by the equipment. She stared wide-eyed at the silver chain on her wrist. Others might not know the significance of this equipment, but she and Bai Lin knew very well.

Elizabeth, like Batman in the movies, underwent extremely rigorous training as a child to become a powerful battle wizard. She mainly uses magic to enhance her own abilities or enchant her armor to gain greater power. However, the agility and stamina gained through training can easily reach a bottleneck, just like in a 100-meter race, where it may take a hundred years to shorten the distance by even a fraction of a second.

At this point, the significance of magical equipment becomes self-evident. Moreover, Bai Lin discovered that the magical forging techniques of this world had long been lost, and there was no longer any production of mithril. Even Elizabeth, who was incredibly wealthy, did not have many useful magical equipment.

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding," and Elizabeth eventually yielded, agreeing to exchange information with Bai Lin and Lulu. Lulu was certainly well-prepared, bringing a wealth of information on the conflict with the Hastur Church. It's believed that after reviewing this information, Elizabeth will make the right choice.

On the way back from the Witz family estate, Lulu kept asking, "So, so, weren't you tempted? Elizabeth is fair-skinned, beautiful, has long legs, and is incredibly wealthy. Any normal man would be tempted!"

Bai Lin was extremely embarrassed. He turned around and pinned Lulu down, saying, "Right now, all I want to do is eat you up!" Lulu pretended to dodge while laughing heartily.

The next day, a long queue formed in front of an Oriental medicine clinic in Chinatown. It seemed Jason and Mary's publicity efforts had been effective. They even set up a small, Gypsy-style tent in front of the clinic; it didn't look like a free clinic, but rather some kind of occult place blending Eastern and Western elements. Perhaps even Americans can't distinguish between Easterners and Gypsies.

Bai Lin sat in the consultation room, dressed in a black Tang suit, with a curtain made of gauze separating him from the patient, looking unfathomable. Meanwhile, in the air, where no one could see, Sifu Jia'er was leisurely flying around.

The method for identifying Awakened Ones is quite mysterious; to put it bluntly, it's based on intuition. There are plenty of people in this world who have nightmares, but not everyone can be an Awakened One. Everyone can describe their nightmares in an incredibly terrifying way, and even Bai Lin couldn't identify them immediately. But surprisingly, Sifugar could.

Some angels possess magic similar to mind reading, allowing them to directly read the deepest memories of ordinary people, especially those influenced by the power of ancient gods. This ability can be used not only to find awakened individuals but also to identify humans possessed by octopus monsters.

Bai Lin was mentally prepared; he was lucky if one out of a hundred patients could awaken. It was like finding a needle in a haystack. But after a day, he had seen all kinds of people of different races and ages, and there were many who had taken drugs and thought they were having nightmares. He hadn't gained anything, and instead, he was exhausted and his mouth was dry.

"Damn, this path won't work..." Bai Lin muttered to himself as he had Jason and Mary help him pack up. He needed to find a more efficient method, and according to the Supreme Council's idea, he needed to find an Awakened One who could influence America's decisions, which was even more absurd.

"Does this mean we have to visit each and every household on the council's list?" Bai Lin felt increasingly overwhelmed by the thought.

Just then, a voice came from the doorway: "Excuse me... is this the Dream Master's clinic?"
