Vanna's words stunned everyone at the scene.

This even shattered many of Duncan's assumptions that the "Nameless Dream" had just been established.

Vanna didn't even enter the "forest" - she didn't even see any forest, but was stuck in a desert all the time...... What kind of place is that desert?!

After a moment of silence in astonishment, Duncan suddenly spoke, "Are there any traces of human activity in the desert?" Is there any quirky terrain worth paying attention to or something that impresses you? ”

"There were a lot of weird-looking boulders, towering and twisted, like something moving that had suddenly solidified, and you could see shadows in the distance, but you couldn't be sure if it was a rocky beach or a complex of buildings—it was too far away," Vana recalled her experience on the "other side of the dream," recounting the details of what she had seen, "and, most notably, there was a faint red crack in the sky, very, very large." ”

"Red Rift?" Duncan's eyes changed slightly, and his whole person became energetic, "What is it like?" Aside from that red chasm? What do you still see in the sky? ”

"I remember what it looked like...... "Vanna said, getting up and taking a pen and paper from the low table, and sketching it on the paper quickly, "It was dark red, with blurred edges, like a cloud, and the depths glowed slightly, and there were shadowy details inside......

Everyone's eyes were focused on the tip of Vanna's pen, and Duncan couldn't help but lean forward, looking at the "rift" composed of many messy lines outlined on the other party's paper, and as those lines gradually corresponded to the "red light" in his memory, his expression became a little more solemn.

After a moment, Vana stopped, and she pushed the paper forward: "That's about it, my level of painting is limited, and I've done my best. Nothing else was seen in the sky other than this rift. ”

"Nothing else?" Duncan was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "What about the sun?" What does the sun look like? ”

For him, this question must be asked - if Vana saw the sun in that "desert", then the "form" of that sun would be crucial!

Yet Vanna shook her head, "There is no sun - even though it looks like it's daytime and the sky is filled with light other than red, I don't see the sun. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and even Duncan was a little stunned for a while, until Fanna's voice sounded again, waking everyone up: "That's all the information on my side." ”

In the end, everyone's eyes finally focused on Duncan.

Nina blinked curiously, "Uncle Duncan, what do you see over there?" ”

“…… Alice and I saw the distorted neighborhoods of the real world," Duncan muttered for a moment, and spoke slowly, "Towering trees and countless vines covered the streets, as if they had spread from the forest of the 'Dream of the Nameless' to reality, but we didn't see anything associated with the 'desert'. And in the deepest part of the mutant block, we found an exceptionally large vine ......"

One more person is one more thought, and Duncan did not hide what he saw when he tried to "probe" the vine—the strange Lost Ground sailing through the dark mist, the familiar but unfamiliar goat's head on the Lost Land, the changing charts, and the many pieces of information that the goat's head revealed in a dream-like state.

As he finished speaking, the room was quieter than it had been when Vana had finished speaking.

"You...... It's even more unbelievable than the desert I've seen......" Vanna muttered.

The dog next to him also muttered sullenly: "How do you say it...... Worthy of the captain......"

Duncan glanced at the ghostly hound, and did not pay attention to its emotion, but added: "That 'goathead' mentions Silandis at the end, which makes me very concerned." ”

"If I'm not mistaken...... This is the name of the 'World Tree' in the ancient legends of the elves," Vanna nodded slightly, "It is also known as the Tree of Life, the Giant Tree of Origin, and it is the first life ...... created in the world by the great demon god 'Sasloka' in the Elven faith."

Everyone at the scene fell into deep thought, even Alice, who had always been unable to keep up with the rhythm, showed an effort to think, and after a short silence, Lucrethia finally raised her head, she looked at Duncan with a hint of hesitation: "Dad, about the 'first mate' who is now lost...... You don't seem to have told me the details of where it came from. ...... the hell is that goat's head?"

"It's from subspace, and that's all I can tell you," Duncan began, then shifting the subject, "but this time...... I'm probably going to go to it and make sure something. ”

Now, all the clues are finally on the table, and everyone who was scattered all over the realm of reality and dreams last night has gathered the information they have in front of Duncan's eyes.

After gathering his thoughts for a moment, Duncan exhaled softly, put aside the chaotic questions in his mind for a moment, and swept his gaze over everyone in the living room.

"Now, we can be sure of a couple of things –

"First, the Nameless Dream is growing in scale and influence, even to the point where it can interfere with the real world, and it is not certain what the reason for this change is, but it is mostly related to the approach of the so-called 'Fourth Long Night' and the change of the sun.

"Second, the ordinary people in the city-state seem to be completely unaware of the effects of the Nameless Dream, which disappears when the mutation occurs, and when the dream ends, they return to the real world and continue their daily lives. We can't say for sure where they went at the time of the dream, or if this phenomenon is limited to the 'elves' - there are many other races of merchants and adventurers in the Breeze, but we need to find out what happened to them last night.

"Thirdly, when the mutation occurs, we will be scattered to different places - to stay in the real world, into a large forest in a dream, or into a mysterious 'desert', and it is not yet certain whether this 'dispersion' is random or regular.

"Fourth, the Annihilation Cultists and the Suncultists, as well as the Last Preachers who provide information behind their backs, these cultists obviously know more information......"

He combed through the known information one by one, and finally raised his head and looked at the others: "Is there anything else you want to add?" ”

"I can't think about it for a while," Lucrecia shook her head, "what I care about now is whether the 'mutation' from last night will still appear, and if it does, how to deal with it." ”

"Most of the time," Morris sighed, "the influence of the Nameless Dream is obviously still growing, and the mutations it causes will only increase, but on the bright side—the more it reappears, the more chances we have to conclude more of its patterns, and now we have many uncertain conjectures, many of which can be answered by a second large-scale mutation." ”

Listening to the old scholar's analysis, Duncan also nodded approvingly: "This is not blind optimism, we really need to summarize the law of the dream of the nameless from more mutations." ”

"But the Nameless Dream will distract us and cut us off from the Captain," Vanna added, "and that's a big problem. ”

"I have a general idea of what to do now," Duncan said thoughtfully, recalling last night's experience, especially the vague information he had sensed after establishing contact with the giant vine and stepping aboard the eerie "Lost Country", "If the Nameless Dream expands again, I should have a chance to test this idea." ”

Shirley looked up at Duncan, and then at the others around her: "What about that...... What about this time? What are we going to do next? ”

"The Nameless Dream doesn't know when it will change again," Duncan said, his gaze falling on Lucrecia, "Now we need to find out if the rest of the city-state was affected last night, and the quickest way to do that is to contact the Archon of Breeze." ”

"Leave it to me," said Lucrecia at once, "I'll go to Sarah Mel in a moment to see if he's aware of last night's events." ”

Duncan snorted, and then looked at Morris and Vanna: "We also need to go to the nearby neighborhood to investigate and see if the other alien residents living around Crown Street other than the elves have been affected by the dream, and see if they had any special experiences last night." ”

"Understood," Vanna immediately nodded in agreement, "it's something I'm good at." ”

Morris also nodded: "I know some old friends in the Truth Academy, and I can ask them to help facilitate the investigation." ”

Duncan's gaze finally turned to Nina and Shirley.

"Let's stay home for the two of you," Duncan said after a moment's thought, "I don't need you to do anything for the time being, but if I find a clue about the Suncultists or the Annihilation Cultists, I may need your help." ”

Nina suddenly looked a little disappointed, but still honestly agreed: "Oh......"

Shirley on the side asked curiously, "What about you?" ”

"I'm going back to the ship," Duncan said, getting up from the couch, "and I'm going now." ”

Alice subconsciously followed and stood up: "Then I'll go too!" ”

Duncan stopped and looked at the puppet suspiciously, "What are you doing with it?" ”

Alice thought for a moment, looked at the other people in the living room, raised her hand and scratched her hair, and said, "I don't know either!" ”

Duncan: "......"

After a brief moment of speechlessness, he suddenly smiled and sighed.

"Okay, if you want to follow, I don't worry about leaving you in the city."

Alice suddenly became happy: "Hey, hey......"

After a few moments, everyone was on the move.
