Chapter 469: Riven Looks up to Her Father as a Role Model, and Her Father’s Deception Method!

Sandman looked at him with a slight frown.

"I have to pay a price, right?"

He knew that Peter would not surrender the mask obediently.

After experiencing the battle with Raven and Azu, he already knew that Peter, as their father, would not be an easy person to deal with.

And Hecate also said that the Peter Padrick in front of him was a person who could not be disturbed by fate, and his power was also unusual.

"No, actually, you don't have to pay anything."

Peter waved forward, and the Sandman's helmet mask appeared in his hands.

The helmet is among the three magic weapons, and it is more of a symbol of the Sandman's identity.

So Peter didn't pay too much attention to the helmet and handed it over directly to the other party.

The Sandman, who took over the helmet, saw Peter activating the power of the ruby ​​in his shocked eyes.

The scene in front of him suddenly changed, and the farm was replaced by a burning city.

There was a "boom" explosion in an office building, and the upper part of the building began to collapse. Frightened people frantically fled out of the building.

With a "swish", a blue figure flew past.

Laila flew to the collapsed building and supported the falling building with her hands.

Peter, who projected a scene of the unjust world, slowly said to the Sandman: "I will not give the ruby ​​to you for the time being, because I used it to create Laila. She is the hope of the world and my child."

"I know that as the owner of Ruby, I have the power of life and death over nightmare creatures, just like Collins, right?"

As Peter spoke, the scene of the unjust world slowly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

What emerges instead is a scene in which Collins, created by Sandman, kills an innocent passerby in the dark of night.

Just as he was about to dispose of the body, a shadowy black figure appeared behind him.

The black shadow walked slowly towards Collins, "The things I created must stay in the dreamland and are not allowed to come to the mortal world to kill for fun."

When Collins saw the black shadow, he was so frightened that he froze in place and did not dare to move.

The black shadow slowly emerged from the black mist, revealing its true body.

The dark figure wearing a helmet is clearly the Sandman himself.

The Sandman walked slowly toward Collins.

"I don't understand. Didn't you create me just to kill?"

Collins asked his master in confusion: "Why do we just stay in the dreamland when mortals are sleeping? Here, in the waking world, we are unstoppable, no one can stop us, and we will get anything we want."

The Sandman shook his head and held up the ruby ​​towards him.

As the ruby ​​was raised, the dagger in Collins' hand turned into sand, and his body was absorbed into the ruby.

"No, please, Master!"

Seeing that he was about to be absorbed by the Sandman, Collins immediately knelt down to him and begged: "Please, Master, don't do that."

Just as Collins was about to be absorbed, an invisible force appeared behind Sandman.

It is accompanied by chanting of mantras.

The next second, under Collins's stunned gaze, the Sandman was sucked away by an invisible force with a "swish".

Collins, who luckily escaped and didn't know what happened, fell to the ground and gasped for air.

After Peter absorbed the Sandman into Collins, but was imprisoned by a group of warlocks at a critical moment, he used the power of the ruby ​​to slowly fade away.

He said to the Sandman who was in a thoughtful state: "You created Collins and I created Lyla. You think dream things must exist in the dream world, but I think people's own thoughts and wishes are also a kind of dream. , we are in a dream, reality and illusion, humans cannot distinguish clearly, and there is no need to distinguish too clearly. "

"No, you're wrong, Peter Padraic."

Sandman shook his head and said.

"Why was I wrong?"

"Because although dreams are created by humans, they are not reality after all. Nightmare creatures, if they were in the human world, would completely disrupt the order of the world."

Peter shook his head, "No, Morpheus, you don't understand humans at all, and you don't understand why those nightmare creatures betray you. You also don't know humans' fears and expectations for dreams."

"I heard that you gave a human being eternal life. You agreed to meet in a tavern every 100 years. The world was turned upside down. You watched this human friend raise a tall building, and then witnessed this human friend's building collapse. ', but what surprises you is that even though he is in a miserable state, this ordinary human being still yearns for eternal life. "

Peter looked at Sandman, who frowned at what he said.

"This friend of yours was just having a sweet dream, and you were dreaming, but you are an arrogant and arrogant person. You don't want to admit that you are also lonely and need friendship, so you broke up on bad terms. "

Peter tells the story about the Sandman that he knew in his previous life.

"See, you're dreaming yourself, and your dreams are disrupting the order of the world."

Peter mercilessly exposed the Sandman's innermost being.

"You are self-willed and have no understanding of human beings or the operating rules of the human world. You were born because of human dreams, but you are arrogant and never understand the hearts of those who are dreaming."

As Peter spoke his words, he activated the power of the ruby.

The world in front of him suddenly changed, and Sandman found himself in the tavern where he had always gathered with his human friends.

In the bustling tavern, Peter said to him: "I will not give you the ruby ​​​​and sandbags, Morpheus, unless you change your heart, learn to apologize, learn to admit your loneliness, and learn to be with human subordinates and friends. Get along, so that I can trust you not to hurt Laila.”

Sandman looked at the familiar tavern in front of him and frowned slightly.

He didn't expect that he would be taught a lesson by a human!

"I am never lonely, and I never don't know how to get along with friends and subordinates."

Sandman said to Peter angrily.

"Really? Let's make a deal, Morpheus."

Peter sat down where the Sandman usually sat, tapping his fingers on the wooden table, "At this time of year, we meet here once, and you told me that you haven't changed your mind. If you change your mind, then I'll give you the sandbag and the ruby."

“If you don’t change, keep doing it.”

Hearing Peter's words, Sandman had a thoughtful look on his face.

After a long silence, he looked at Peter, "Why do you know me so well? Do you think I will change my mind?"

He was a little confused about Peter's real intention.

Is the other party really not interested in his magical weapon?

Is it just because he is worried that he will harm the Laila he created that he is unwilling to hand it over?

"Maybe we met in a dream. I believe you will change your mind after traveling around the world."

Peter said to him.

Sandman didn't speak, but lowered his head and thought.

Clark and Azu, who were next to them, fell into a daze after listening to Peter's words.

Did the father (godfather) convince the Sandman now? !

Can you scare the Sandman without using your hands?

Especially Azu, he thought Peter would take action to imprison Sandman again.

I didn’t expect my dad to be so capable!

"How about it, Morpheus? Are you willing to make this bet with me?"

Peter asked him, sitting behind the table.

Sandman raised his head, nodded to him and said, "Okay, let's make an agreement. We will meet here at this time every year. If I change my mind, you will hand over the ruby ​​​​and sandbag to me."

"Great, we've reached an agreement."

Peter poured a glass of wine and handed the glass to the other party, "It seems we can celebrate."

Sandman looked into Peter's eyes and shook his head, "No, thank you, I don't need to...don't you think I would lie?"

He asked Peter if he was worried that he would choose to lie in order to get the ruby.

"No, I believe you are not like this. I know you, Morpheus."

Listening to Peter's words, Morpheus was slightly touched in his heart.

Being used to being alone, he suddenly felt a different emotion in his heart.

"This is the key to the Dream Kingdom's 'Dreams and Legends'. You temporarily serve as the God of Dreams, Peter Padrick, and enter and exit the Dream Kingdom. You can prevent the collapse of the Dream Kingdom."

Sandman handed a key to Peter, "If you want me to fulfill my agreement, you must do one thing for me."

"What?"

"Capture Collins to the Dream Kingdom."

Peter nodded in agreement, "Of course."

After the Sandman left, Raven looked at Peter in shock.

"Dad, he...is he really gone?"

"certainly."

Peter said, touching the purple hair on the front of Raven's head.

"He was really convinced by dad?!"

Raven felt dizzy at this time.

She had a feeling of admiration for her father.

He really deserves to be his father, he can fool the Sandman like this.

It seems that I have to learn from my father.

"I don't understand, Dad, why would he agree?"

Raven humbly asked Peter for advice.

"Because he knew that he had no choice. Without a magic weapon, he couldn't even defeat you and John, let alone defeat me to steal the ruby, so - he agreed to the bet."

Peter held the key that exuded a familiar aura and said to his daughter: "In addition, he may be eager to understand the human world and learn human emotions."

"Why do you know this, Dad?"

Raven asked in confusion.

"If I wanted to know, I would always know."

Azu and Clark who were next to him also walked over.

Azu asked worriedly: "Dad, if you meet Sandman in a year, if he really changes his mind, will you give him the ruby ​​​​and sandbag?"

He was worried that his father would actually keep his promise.

"That depends on what he thinks."

Peter put away the keys and said to Azu with a smile.

Meeting a year later, he didn't believe Sandman's personality would change easily.

Even if I change it, I will still have other methods.
