Chapter 577: Each Takes Their Own Action
Vanna’s words sent everyone at the scene into stunned silence.

It even shattered many of Duncan’s assumptions about the Dream of the Nameless, which had just been established.

Vanna didn’t even enter the “forest” – she didn’t even see any forest, but was stuck in a desert……. What is that desert?

After a moment of stunned silence, Duncan suddenly spoke up, “Are there any signs of human activity in the desert? Any odd terrain of note or things that struck you?”

“There were a number of odd-looking boulders, towering and twisted as if something in motion had suddenly solidified and formed, and rolling shadows could be seen in the extreme distance, but it was impossible to determine if they were rocky beaches or complexes – too far away,” Vanna recalled her own experience on the “The other side of the dream,” Vanna recalled her experience, recounting the details of what she had seen, “Also, the most concerning thing was a faint red chasm in the sky, very, very large.”

“A red chasm?” Duncan’s eyes instantly shifted slightly, and his entire body became energized, “What exactly does it look like? And besides that red rift? What else did you see in the sky?”

“I still remember what it looked like ……,” Vanna said, getting up and taking a pen and paper from the low table, quickly sketching on the paper, “It was dark red in color, the edges were blurred, as if it was filled with clouds, and the depths were slightly glowing , and shadowed details inside ……”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the tip of Vanna’s pen, Duncan also couldn’t help but lean forward, looking at the other party outlined on the paper that “crack” composed of many messy lines, and as those lines gradually corresponded to the “red light” in his memories, his expression As those lines gradually corresponded to the “red light” in his memory, his expression became a little more grave.

After a few moments, Vanna stopped, she pushed the paper forward: “That’s it, my drawing level is limited, I’ve tried my best. Other than this crack, there’s nothing else to be seen in the sky.”

“Nothing else?” Duncan sniffed and subconsciously pressed, “What about the sun? What does the sun look like?”

To him, the question had to be asked – if Vanna had seen the sun in that “desert”, then the “form” of that sun would be crucial!
Still, Vanna shook her head, “There was no sun – even though it looked like daytime there, and the sky was filled with nothing but red light, I didn’t see the sun.”

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, even Duncan was a bit dazed for a moment, until Vanna’s voice sounded again, snapping everyone out of their senses, “That’s all the information I have on my side.”

Finally, everyone’s eyes focused on Duncan.

Nina blinked curiously, “Uncle Duncan, what do you see on your side?”

“…… Alice and I saw neighborhoods in the real world that were twisted and mutated,” Duncan mused and spoke slowly, “Towering trees and countless vines covered the streets, as if from the ‘Dream of the Nameless One’ that forest spread into reality, but we saw no sights related to the ‘desert’. And in the deepest part of the mutated neighborhood, we found an extraordinarily huge vine ……”

One more person is one more idea, Duncan did not hide what he saw when he tried to “probe” the vine – the strange Lost Country ship sailing in the darkness and fog, the familiar but strange goat head on the Lost Country ship, the changing charts, and the goat head in a dream-like state. the goat’s head in a dreamlike state, and the many pieces of information revealed by the goat’s head.

When his words fell, the room was even quieter than when Vanna had finished speaking just now.

“You …… can be even more unbelievable …… than that desert I saw,” Vanna couldn’t help but mutter.

Next to him, Dog also muffled a chorus, “How to say …… not worthy of the captain ……”

Duncan glanced at the spectral hound, not caring about its sentiments, but added, “That ‘goathead’ mentioned Silantis at the end, which concerns me greatly.”

“If I remember correctly …… that is the name of the ‘Tree of the World’ in the old legends of the elves,” Vanna nodded gently, “It is also known as the Tree of Life, the Giant Tree of Origins, and was the first life created in the world by the Great Demon God ‘Sasloka’ of the Elven faith ……”

The people on the scene each fell into deep thought, even Alice who has always been unable to keep up with the pace also revealed an appearance of trying to think, and after a short period of silence, Lucrecia finally raised her head, she looked at Duncan, with a hint of hesitation in her complexion, “Dad, about that ‘First Officer’ of the Lost Country ship right now …… you don’t seem to have told me in detail about its origin. What exactly is that goat head ……”

“It’s from subspace, that’s all I can tell you,” Duncan spoke up, followed by a turn of phrase, “But this time …… I might have to go to it to properly confirm something. ”

Now that all the clues were finally on the table, everyone who had been dispersed to various parts of reality and the dream world last night had summarized the information they each had before Duncan’s eyes.

After organizing his thoughts for a moment, Duncan exhaled softly, putting aside the tumultuous questions in his mind for the time being as he swept his gaze over everyone in the living room.

“Now, we can establish a few things-

“First, the scale of the Dream of the Nameless One is expanding, its influence is increasing, and it has even grown to the point where it can interfere with the real world; it is uncertain what the cause of this change is, but it is mostly related to the approaching of the so-called ‘Fourth Longest Night’ as well as the change in the sun.

“Secondly, the ordinary people in the city-state seem to be completely unaware of the effects of the Dream of the Nameless One, and those within the area of influence of the dream will disappear when the change occurs, and when the dream ends, they will return to the real world and maintain their daily lives. For the time being, we are unable to determine where they all went while the dream was occurring, nor can we determine if this phenomenon is limited to ‘elves’ – there are also many merchants and adventurers of other races in Lightwind Harbor, and next we need to find a way to confirm this part of the population last night The situation.

“Thirdly, when the mutation occurs, we will be dispersed to different places – staying in the real world, entering the great forest in the dream world, or entering a mysterious ‘desert’ respectively, and it is not yet certain whether this ‘dispersal’ is a ‘dispersal’ or a ‘dispersion’. It is uncertain whether this ‘dispersion’ is random or regular. “Fourth, the Annihilationists and the Sunists, and the Final Preachers who provide information behind them, these cultists obviously know more information ……”

He summarized and combed through the known intelligence one by one, and finally raised his head and looked at the others, “Anything else to add?”

“I can’t think of any more for now,” Lucrecia shook her head, “Right now what I care about is whether or not that ‘mutation’ from last night is going to come back, and if it does again, what to do about it. ”

“More than likely it will appear again,” Maurice sighed, “The influence of the Dream of the Nameless One is obviously still strengthening, and the number of mutations it causes will only increase with it, but look on the bright side – the more it reappears, the more we have the have a chance to summarize more of its patterns; right now we have a lot of unsettled conjectures, and many of those questions can be answered with a second mass mutation.”

Listening to the old scholar’s analysis, Duncan nodded approvingly, “This is not blind optimism, we do need to summarize the laws of the Dream of the Nameless One from more mutations.”

“But the Dream of the Nameless One will distract us and cut us off from the Captain,” Vanna added from the sidelines, “and that’s a big problem.”

“I’ve got a general idea about that,” Duncan said thoughtfully, recalling last night’s experience, especially the vague information he’d sensed after establishing contact with the giant vine, and after setting foot on the strange Lost Country. Thoughtfully, he said, “If the Dream of the Nameless One expands again, I should have a chance to test this line of thought.”

Shirley looked up at Duncan and then at the others around her, “What about …… this time? What do we do next?”

“There’s no telling when the Dream of the Nameless One will change again,” Duncan said, his gaze falling on Lucrecia, “Right now we need to determine if the rest of the city-state was affected last night as well, and the fastest way to do that is to contact the Consul of Lightwind Harbor.”

“Leave it to me,” Lucrecia said immediately, “I will go to Sara Meir in a few moments to see if he has noticed what happened last night.”

Duncan hmmm’d and looked to Maurice and Vanna again, “It will also be necessary to travel to the nearby neighborhoods to investigate and see if any of the other fey inhabitants living around Crown Street, other than the elves, have been affected by the dreams and to see if they had any special experiences last night.”

“Understood,” Vanna immediately nodded her head in agreement, “It’s something I’m very good at.”

Morris followed suit and nodded, “I know some old friends in the Truth Academy, so I can ask them to help facilitate the investigation.”

Duncan’s eyes finally turned to Nina and Sherry.

“You two stay home for now,” after a brief moment of reflection, Duncan said, “I don’t need you to do anything for the time being, but if we find clues about the Sunists or Annihilationists, we may need your help.”

Nina instantly looked a little disappointed, but agreed honestly, “Oh ……”

On the side, Shirley asked curiously, “What about you?”

“I’m going back to the ship,” Duncan said, getting up from the couch, “Moving now.”

Alice subconsciously followed and stood up, “Then I’m going too!”

Duncan stopped and gave the mannequin a quizzical look, “What are you following for?”

Alice thought for a moment, then looked at the others in the living room, raised her hand to scratch her hair, and reasoned, “I don’t know!”

Duncan: “……”

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

“Fine, come along if you want, it just so happens that I don’t feel comfortable leaving you in the city.”

Alice instantly cheered up, “Hehehe ……”

A few moments later, everyone launched into action as planned.
