The test regarding the changes in abilities after Shujuan's promotion didn't take up much time.
In fact, before Roland arrived, she and Anna had already discussed it extensively – the answers that appeared after the arithmetic expressions were not illusions, but rather the result of retrieving memories.
Since the data contained a large number of frequently used formulas, and Shujuan happened to have seen them, the answers appeared directly in her mind. Especially those complex functions, if each small item within them had been memorized, then the total term after a scrambled combination could also be quickly solved, even if the specific meaning of the expression was not understood.
Compared to reviewing exam papers and archives, the workload of doing this was obviously much greater, and it wasn't impossible to do in the past. However, now she could achieve this subconsciously, which clearly indicated that her main ability had improved to a considerable extent.
But those contents that had not been memorized, or were only partially memorized, would not yield any answers.
Therefore, to calculate the reliability of new design samples, it was still necessary to rely on the design institute and the central carrier.
However, going through Shujuan's review once could reduce a lot of work.
The highlight of the test was still placed on the "Archive" in the realm of the consciousness world – although it was currently just a simple little room.
The first thing that was determined was the rule for exchanging items between the two worlds.
After all, as a transcendent being, Shujuan's way of entering the dream world was essentially different from that of the God's Punishment Witches and the Nightmare Lord. The former had to rely on the pillar of light to reach the dream world, while the latter trespassed on their own accord, to the extent that even their forms were altered. Shujuan's method was more like docking, like driving a small car into a parking lot, maintaining a relatively high degree of integrity in both her body and consciousness.
If she could also take the goods from the parking lot, its significance would be self-evident!
However, as it turned out, there was no such good thing in the world. Shujuan could "bring" the items she carried with her into the realm, but she could not bring anything from the realm and the dream world back to reality, not even a stone.
Also, the previous point was not entirely accurate to say that she brought them in, because the test items did not disappear out of thin air, but were still held in her hands.
"I'm sorry... Your Majesty." After several tests, Shujuan looked at her empty hands and said with some disappointment, "It seems that my abilities are still insufficient."
"No, this is contrary to what I expected, you don't need to mind." Roland and Anna exchanged glances, and had already come to a conclusion in their hearts. The Archive was probably like the dream world, with some reality-distorting power, as long as it was within Shujuan's understanding, it could be replicated as it was, and at first glance it seemed like things from the outside had been brought into the consciousness world. But it was impossible to bring them back.
This also made Roland secretly relieved.
You should know that Shujuan was not the only one who could open up a realm in the consciousness world. According to the information obtained from Vakiris, the Demon race's King not only possessed the "Lord's Seat," but also had extremely strong control over the realm, and when he was in it, he was almost like a god.
If the creations of the two worlds could be exchanged at will, then the Battle of Divine Will would obviously be filled with more risks and uncertainties.
Next, the test focused on the inclusiveness of the realm.
Ever since talking with Lan, he had guessed that the dream world was also a realm in the consciousness world, but it was just a bit too exaggerated. Although he couldn't summon wind and rain in the dream world like the Demon King, the commonalities of the realm should be universal, such as accepting consciousness.
The pillar of light key after Shujuan's promotion expanded to about one meter, although it was still a certain distance from the requirements of the Chosen, it was already the fourth-ranked witch in Neverwinter, second only to Roland, Leaf, and Evelyn.
And this range of the pillar of light could accommodate four God's Punishment Witches standing side by side.
If these ancient witches entered the dream world because their pillar of light happened to be covered by the dream world's pillar of light, could they enter the Archive in the same way?
The test results greatly excited Roland.
While he was not asleep, Phyllis relied on Shujuan's realm to return to her appearance four hundred years ago.
This undoubtedly verified his conjecture.
The outline of the consciousness world gradually became clearer in his mind.
It was just that the number of people entering and the range of the pillar of light did not seem to be a simple proportional relationship, even if four God's Punishment Witches slept close to Shujuan, only one could reach the Archive.
Of course, being able to enter one was enough.
The final focus was to locate the position of the Archive and determine its location in the dream world – if the high-rise buildings that Shujuan saw were really a scene in the dream, then she and Roland would inevitably meet in the consciousness world.
Just as the test was about to begin, Anna stopped Shujuan.
"Your Highness?"
"Ever since meeting Roland, I have never envied anyone again, because I think this is the greatest gift in my life." She said slowly, "Even after learning that the God's Punishment Witches can enter the dream world, it's still the same – they have suffered too much hardship, and the dream world is more of a compensation for them. But... I'm really a little envious of you now."
These words were not avoided by other witches, but were spoken softly in front of everyone, which also caused a commotion in the crowd.
"Wow... Why do I feel a little hot on my face?" Miyue quickly covered her face, but deliberately opened her fingers slightly, revealing two slits.
"Quiet, don't interrupt!" Lily glared at her fiercely.
"Anna..." Roland couldn't help but say.
Anna smiled at him slightly, then looked at Shujuan, "So I have a request."
Shujuan said softly, "Please speak, Your Highness, as long as it is something I can do."
"He used to tell me about the dream world, only with verbal descriptions and no pictures. Can you replace my eyes and take pictures of the tenement building he lived in, the places he often lived in, and the scenery of that world for me to see?" Anna said seriously, "If I record the pictures in the Magic Book, I should be able to see them, right?"
"Of course I can, leave it to me."
"Wow—" Miyue immediately shouted, "I want to see it too! It's best to take pictures of the entire city!"
"Shut up!"
However, before Lily could stop her, the other witches also clamored, "Can you take pictures of the legendary planes that carry hundreds of people?"
"I want to see what a square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time looks like!"
"And me, and me—"
Seeing her sisters surrounding Shujuan and Anna, Lily stamped her feet and squeezed up as well.
Nightingale sighed softly in the mist.
Maybe that's why Anna is ahead of her?
She couldn't help but show a wry smile.
Although she felt that her feelings were no less than Anna's, being able to say these words in front of everyone probably only Anna could do it.
Her courage was as dazzling as a gem.
After finally writing down everyone's entrustments one by one, Shujuan finally lay down on the soft chair in the office.
Roland leaned directly against the mahogany desk, intending to fall asleep as he did during lunch breaks.
Apart from the two of them, Phyllis, Ling, and Faldi were also ready.
Roland's gaze swept across everyone, and finally landed on Anna, who nodded to him gently.
"Then, the tenth test begins!"
