Heidi admits that she has encountered countless difficult situations in her many years of medical career - but none as embarrassing as this one.

But just when she was so embarrassed that the golden cone in her hand was about to leave fingerprints, Taran El suddenly laughed.

"Even so, I still think what you said is true."

Heidi instantly showed a look of surprise.

"The 'Golden Cone' you used has a very unique emblem on it," Taran El smiled and pointed at the "weapon" and "medical tool" in Heidi's hand. "Even in this dream, you still accurately restored the emblem, which shows that you value it very much. Miss Heidi, you are an outstanding graduate of the Academy of Truth. There are only ten such emblems each year, and they will only be given to the most outstanding young apprentices and engraved on one of their items according to their wishes."

Heidi was stunned for a moment, and her eyes followed the direction of the other party's finger and fell on the end of the handle of the golden cone - an "Eye of Wisdom" emblem surrounded by light spots was engraved at that position.

Ordinary people can easily confuse this emblem with the common symbol of the God of Wisdom, but only those who truly understand the various logos of the Academy of Truth can tell the difference between this emblem and the ordinary "Eye of Wisdom".

It was not until this moment that Heidi suddenly had an idea. She looked at the elf scholar who called himself "Taran El" and some superficial impressions in her mind gradually came together:

Members of the Academy of Truth, the elves, the ancient surname "El", would make such an amazing move as observing the surface of the sun when the anomaly 001 was extinguished...

"Taran El... Wait, are you Mr. 'Taran El' from Breeze Harbor?!" Heidi opened her eyes wide, "The master who studies borders and secret knowledge..."

"I'm not a master, just a researcher who's busy all day long," Taran El smiled and waved his hand. Although he was being modest, he was obviously quite happy when he was recognized. But then he became a little confused, "You've heard of me? This is not common... I don't show up in public very often. Although I have some fame, it's only limited to Breeze Harbor and the elf society. How did a human like you from a faraway place hear about me?"

"I have heard my father speak of you," said Heidi at once, "since I was a little girl!"

"Your father?" Taran El frowned.

"His name is Morris," Heidi said with a hint of pride, "Maurice Underwood. When he was young, he studied at the headquarters of the Academy of Truth and also studied in Breeze Harbor..."

Taran El felt familiar with the name when he heard it. After listening to Heidi's words, he immediately remembered: "Ah! It's that young man! I remember him. He is a young man with amazing talent... You are his daughter?!"

The elf scholar was amazed, staring at Heidi from head to toe, and couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement: "Then he got married and had a daughter quite early..."

Heidi's face suddenly looked a little strange, and she hesitated and said, "...My father was almost forty years old when I was born. This is very late..."

"Four..." Taran El opened his mouth, then slapped his forehead, "Oh, sorry, I forgot, I should use human standards. Sorry, I can be so careless sometimes."

Heidi could only smile awkwardly. She had noticed that this elf scholar who was highly praised by her father was indeed a very nervous person at times...

After a moment of silence, Taran El couldn't help but ask expectantly, "How did your father mention me?"

Heidi spoke subconsciously: "He said that it is really awe-inspiring that you, as an elf, can rely on your powerful work and rest power to suffer from cervical spondylosis and periarthritis of the shoulder..."

Taran El: "..."

Heidi: “…”

"No need to apologize," the elf scholar waved his hand, interrupting the embarrassed psychiatrist who had just reacted. It was obvious that he had long been immune to similar words. "We have almost finished chatting, Miss Heidi. Now it's time to use your professional qualities and find a way to get me out of this dream."

This well-timed change of topic immediately resolved Heidi's embarrassment. She quickly sorted out her expression and mood and began to think about how to interpret this dream.

But just as she began to recall the "professional knowledge" she had mastered, Taran El said beside her: "I have to remind you first, Miss Heidi - I have tried the falling method, suffocation method, interrogation method and reverse hypnosis, but none of them worked. All these methods can't wake me up from here. Instead, they can only make me more and more awake in this dream."

Heidi was stunned when she heard this, and her expression changed slightly: "Becoming more and more lucid in the dream?!"

"Yes, this is the most dangerous situation after the 'trapped in a dream' incident," Taran El spread out his hands. "I am becoming more and more aware that I am in a dream, but I am unable to wake up. This shows that my reason is gradually being assimilated by the underlying logic of this dream. Subconsciously, I no longer think that there is a need for me to wake up. In fact... my subconscious now thinks that I am already awake."

“Have you ever tried praying to Lahmu?”

"What do you think?" Taran El asked with a wry smile.

"...You are awake enough in this dream to even accept Lahem's protection..." Heidi's tone gradually became serious, "So, you are actually awake, but the scary thing is that you are 'awake in a dream'... I'm afraid that conventional guidance methods will not work."

"How about... you try to poke me with that awl again?" Taran El pointed at the golden awl in Heidi's hand, "Give my subconscious a hint of impending death, and I'll see if I can rely on the 'sudden death method' to return to the real world."

Heidi was stunned for a moment and quickly shook her head: "I don't think this is a good idea..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a strange and slightly lazy female voice suddenly came from the side: "I don't think this is a good idea either, little girl."

Heidi was startled by the voice. She instantly clenched the golden cone in her hand and looked in the direction where the voice came from. The next second, a flying piece of colored paper suddenly caught her eyes - the fluttering colors swept down from the sky like snowflakes, and an elegant lady shrouded in mystery walked out from the flying colors.

When Heidi suddenly became alert and took a defensive posture, the mysterious lady who suddenly appeared did not even glance at this side, but walked straight to Taran El and said, "I'm serious, Master El, don't think about your 'sudden death method'. With your current health level, if the psychiatrist hits you with a needle, you will really die suddenly in the real world."

"Ah, Lady Lucrecia!" Taran El's face immediately showed joy after seeing who was coming. "You are here to help - well, it seems that although my apprentices did not go to find a psychiatrist, they found a more powerful helper. They found the sea witch..."

Lucrecia waved her hands. "I was the one who turned down the psychiatrists your apprentices had brought in. They couldn't help you. You're in my lab now."

Heidi stared at the scene in front of her in a daze. She was first surprised to find that Taran El and the mysterious lady who suddenly appeared were acquainted with each other, but then she noticed the lady's name.

Lucrecia.

There may be more than one person named Lucrecia in this world, but there is only one person called the "Sea Witch"!

In great astonishment, Heidi first felt nervous and alert, and then realized that she had to say something. But when the words came to her lips, she stuttered: "You...you are..."

"Don't be nervous, young lady. 'Witches' don't eat people." Lucrecia laughed, as if she found the reaction of the young human girl in front of her very interesting. "It's really interesting. I didn't expect that Master Taran El would have a 'guest' in his dream. As far as a 'dilemma' is concerned, this place is a bit too lively."

She said this with a faint smile, but gradually, the warmth in that gentle and light smile faded away bit by bit. Her eyes were still full of smiles, but her eyes gradually became as cold and indifferent as ice.

"What is your name, strange guest?"

Heidi didn't even notice the change in temperature in Lucrecia's smile.

However, her mind suddenly began to give her a warning at this moment. An "intuition" rooted in her spiritual talent made her suddenly tense!

The "witch" in front of her was analyzing her own soul and mind. She was considering herself as the "polluting factor" in this dream!

The moment she realized this terrible fact, Heidi tried to protect herself mentally, but she found that she had been cut off from all supernatural powers. Even the "golden cone" in her hand, which was most closely connected to her, seemed to have become something unrelated to her. She could only try her best to stabilize her consciousness in great anxiety and tension, and at the same time, she spoke with difficulty while thinking hard: "My name is Heidi, and I'm a psychiatrist. I entered Mr. Taran El's dream by mistake. The intruder was someone else, and some of them have been interpreted by Mr. Taran El himself..."

The pressure that caused his spiritual talent to sound a crazy alarm suddenly disappeared.

Heidi breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she felt confused.

I haven't finished yet.

She raised her head in confusion. Unknowingly, the amethyst pendant hanging on her chest had begun to heat up again. She pressed the crystal pendant with one hand and looked at the "witch" opposite in confusion.

Lucrecia just frowned.

"Are you a follower of my father?"
