Dream Journal

√,√,√,√,√... Still in seclusion.
After recalling the dream, there was an unexpected surprise—the role of the "Knowledge Keeper" was taken a big step forward.
I think I understand some of the principles behind this role-playing.
Those Knowledge Keeper are the guardians of knowledge.
There are two ways to protect knowledge: one is to have it remembered by more people, and the other is to have Record.
Furthermore, in a mystical sense, "knowledge" and "information" seem to be interconnected concepts. For example, "the Sun rises in the east" – people observed the information of the Sun rising in the east time and time again before summarizing the knowledge that "the Sun rises in the east".
All theorems and laws are simply summaries of information...
Protecting knowledge can also be abstracted as protecting "information." The reason why "Knowledge Keeper" are also called "Detective" is precisely because they want to uncover "unknown information."
My progress in playing the role of "Knowledge Keeper" has greatly improved, precisely because a previously unknown but extremely important piece of information was passively unearthed by the "Knowledge Keeper's" abilities!
This should count as a lesson learned from stepping on a wild animal's trap...
Although it was late, I still went to Beckman to ask for leave—anyway, Morio hadn't returned yet, so there was nothing for me to do for the time being.
As for Shanks's help to An'er, it certainly won't be in terms of direct combat strength. Otherwise, if An'er succeeds in his rebellion with the help of pirates, he will only be easily defeated by the World Government. I don't want to get involved in this matter.
Although An'er is rough around the edges, he is a very sincere person. However, I still can't like him. Maybe it's because of his subconscious sense of superiority and condescension? It's like... a slave owner who can be communicated with.
This reminds me of some terrible things!
Maybe I'm petty, after all, I'm quite smart.

√,√,√,√,√.
Tonight I arrived at the northwest coast of Dawn Island. Although this is within the central area, I was able to easily infiltrate it, and my demeanor was no different from that of an ordinary civilian.
Furthermore, watching the sunset from here, I also understood why, when I was going through my dream memories earlier, I didn't immediately think of the place where the dream began—the place where I was sleeping...
In terms of the entire planet, my location must have really changed. Judging from the sunlight, climate, and wind direction, the place I was at that time was definitely not on the eastern side of the island, and it didn't even seem to be in the current location of Dawn Island!
That devastating force not only sank part of the land but also changed the island's orientation.
With some gentle guidance, I fell asleep...
Unfortunately, the guidance failed, and the "Knowledge Keeper's" ability could not be activated.
Last night's activation of my ability was entirely passive, and it was the only time it had been activated in the past two months.
I cannot fully grasp this power of regression yet, but intentionally guiding it will increase the probability and also help me to gain deeper control over the power of the "Knowledge Keeper."

√,√,√,√,√,√--The role of the Knowledge Keeper has been greatly enhanced.
On the fifth day of my trip to the Northwest Coast, I finally made it "dream come true"!
When the dream began, I was in a forest, looking westward. In front of me was a forest, and behind me, in the distance, were the Mount Kolbo, which were much lower and gentler than they were now.
It was still that huge, saucer-shaped spaceship flying in from a distance. It didn't seem to be moving very fast, but in reality, its enormous size confused the concept of speed. If you understood the frame of reference, you could tell that it was traveling at an extremely high speed!
A colossal spaceship, seemingly belonging to Pluton, swept overhead, its oppressive force suffocating me. Indeed, its bombing epicenter was further northwest...
No! It should be southwest. The northwest coast of Dawn Island, which is now located there, faced southwest back then.
Under the earth-shattering force, the land was torn apart. Not far in front of me, a huge crack first appeared, and then the island separated as it shook.
Even the "earth" itself was pushed aside, making Mount Colbert even higher...
If I were actually standing here, with my current strength, even if I could withstand the aftershocks, my survival would be uncertain. However, in the dream, I was merely "observing," or rather, receiving information—information that I wasn't actually here at the time, and therefore wouldn't be harmed.

√,√,√,√,√.
After reviewing last night's dream, I specifically dived underwater to observe the terrain of the Kingdom of Goa.
Indeed, there's a reason why the Kingdom of Goa prospered...
In this era, islands that can prosper are those with deep-water coastlines and coastal areas that are not easily attacked.
The terrain of the Kingdom of Goa perfectly matches this description. In the southwest, there is a deep-water port that is even somewhat "abrupt," while the northwest coast is full of reefs, making it difficult for ships to navigate. In the southeast, apart from a few isolated villages, the area is surrounded by the Colber Mountains.
The deep-water port in the southwest made this area suitable for trade, while the other directions were easy to defend and difficult to attack, which also ensured the safety of the Kingdom of Goa.
I initially thought it was just "luck," but now, considering my previous "dream," the entire Dawn Island must have been a floating island that drifted in from afar and crashed into the lower seabed here. That's why the direction of the impact was full of reefs, while the direction from which the floating island drifted in "suddenly" had a deep-water harbor...
Considering the history of this world, Pluton's cannon shot should have occurred between 900 and 800 years ago, during the "Void Century," and its target was very likely the legendary "Great Kingdom," right?
Unfortunately, I couldn't see the location of the Great Kingdom in my dream. It was still quite a distance from where Pluton directly bombarded it. From this, I can infer that Dawn Island wasn't partially sunk, but rather separated from the other half of the island under the bombardment.
Because I don't know where the other half of Dawn Island is, I have no way to complete this incomplete dream for the time being.
The events of that year must have been extremely important to this era and this world; otherwise, they wouldn't have naturally led me to a "dream of rewinding" even though I didn't possess the ability to "go back in time."
The two dreams allowed my "Knowledge Keeper" to advance significantly in its role-playing even before mastering the essence, indicating that this is likely the most crucial "information" of this era. If I can reach the location of the Great Kingdom, my "Knowledge Keeper" will probably be able to complete the role-playing process directly.

√,√,√,√,√.
Morio and Lucky Roo are back, and I'll be with them on the next trip...
Their exploration did not go smoothly. They disturbed the Sea King along the way, and their attempts to calm them down failed because there were too many of Sea King. They had to retreat and were unable to cross the Calm Belt.
