Vanna's words stunned everyone at the scene.

This even breaks many of Duncan's speculations about the "Dream of the Nameless" that he had just established.

Vanna didn’t even enter the “forest”—she didn’t even see any forest, but was trapped in a desert… What was that desert? !

After a moment of silence due to astonishment, Duncan suddenly spoke: "Are there any signs of human activity in the desert? Are there any strange terrains worth noting or things that impressed you?"

"There are many strange-looking boulders, towering and twisted, as if something that was moving suddenly solidified. In the distance, you can see continuous shadows, but you can't be sure whether it is a rocky beach or a group of buildings - it's too far away," Vanna recalled her experience on the "other side of the dream" and described the details she saw. "In addition, the most concerning thing is that there is a faint red crack in the sky, which is very, very large."

"Red crack?" Duncan's eyes changed slightly, and he became alert. "What exactly is it like? Besides the red crack? 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, and quickly sketching on the paper, "Its color is dark red, and the edges are blurred, like it is filled with clouds and mist, and it glows faintly in the depths, and there are shadowy details inside..."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the tip of Vanna's pen. Duncan couldn't help but lean forward and look at the "crack" made up of many messy lines drawn on the paper. As those lines gradually corresponded to the "red light" in his memory, his expression became more and more solemn.

After a moment, Vanna stopped and pushed the paper forward. "That's about it. My drawing skills are limited, but I've done my best. Apart from this crack, there's nothing else to see in the sky."

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

For him, this question must be asked - if Vanna saw the sun in that "desert", then the "shape" of that sun will be crucial!

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

Everyone looked at each other, even Duncan was a little dazed for a moment, until Vanna's voice sounded again, waking everyone up: "This is all the information I have."

Finally, everyone's attention was focused on Duncan.

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

"...Alice and I saw the distorted and mutated blocks in the real world," Duncan pondered for a moment and spoke slowly, "Towering trees and countless vines covered the streets, just like the forest from the 'Dream of the Nameless' spread to reality, but we didn't see any scenes related to the 'desert'. And in the deepest part of the mutated block, we found an extremely huge vine..."

One more person means one more idea. Duncan did not hide what he saw when he tried to "explore" the vine - the strange Homelander sailing in the dark fog, the familiar yet unfamiliar goat head on the Homelander, the changing sea chart, and the many pieces of information revealed by the goat head in a dream-like state.

When he finished speaking, the room was even quieter than when Vanna had finished speaking.

"This... is even more incredible than the desert I saw..." Vanna couldn't help but mutter.

Agou beside him also muttered in a low voice: "How can I say... He is worthy of being the captain..."

Duncan glanced at the Deep Hound and ignored its sigh. Instead, he added, "That 'Goat Head' mentioned Silantis at the end. This really concerns me."

"If I remember correctly... this is the name of the 'World Tree' in the ancient legends of the elves," Vanna nodded gently, "It is also called the Tree of Life and the Giant Tree of Origin. It is the first life created in the world by the great demon 'Sasloka' in the elves' belief..."

Everyone at the scene was lost in thought. Even Alice, who always couldn't keep up with the pace, looked like she was thinking hard. After a brief silence, Lucrecia finally raised her head. She looked at Duncan with a hint of hesitation in her expression: "Dad, about the 'first mate' of the Lost Homeland... you didn't seem to tell me in detail about its origin. What exactly is that goat head..."

"It comes from the subspace. That's all I can tell you," Duncan said, and then changed the subject, "But this time... I might have to go find it to confirm some things."

Now, all the clues were finally laid on the table. Everyone who was scattered throughout reality and dreams last night summarized the information they had in front of Duncan.

After organizing his thoughts, Duncan let out a light breath, put aside the chaotic questions in his mind for the time being, and glanced at everyone in the living room.

“Now, we can confirm a few things—

"First, the scale of the Nameless One's dream is expanding, and its influence is increasing. It has even developed to the point where it can interfere with the real world. We are not sure what the reason for this change is, but it is probably related to the approach of the so-called 'Fourth Long Night' and the changes in the sun.

"Second, ordinary people in the city-state seem to be completely unaware of the impact of the Nameless Man's Dream. When the abnormality occurs, the people within the dream's influence will disappear, and when the dream ends, they will return to the real world and maintain their daily lives. We are not sure where they went when the dream occurred, nor are we sure whether this phenomenon is limited to the 'elves' - there are many merchants and adventurers of other races in Light Wind Harbor. Next, we need to find a way to confirm what happened to these people last night.

“Third, when the mutation occurs, we will be scattered to different places - staying in the real world, entering the great forest in the dream, or entering a mysterious “desert”. It is not yet certain whether this ‘scattering’ is random or follows a pattern.

"Fourth, the Annihilation Cultists and the Sun Cultists, as well as the End of the World Preachers who provide intelligence behind the scenes. These evil cultists obviously know more information..."

He summarized and sorted out the known information one by one, and finally raised his head and looked at the others: "Is there anything else to add?"

"I can't think of anything for now," Lucrecia shook her head. "What I'm concerned about now is whether the 'mutation' that happened last night will happen again. If it does, how should we deal with it?"

"It will most likely appear again," Morris sighed. "The influence of the Nameless One's Dream is clearly still growing, and the mutations it causes will only increase. But think on the bright side - the more it reappears, the more opportunities we have to summarize its laws. Now we have many uncertain conjectures, and many of these questions can be answered as long as there is a second large-scale mutation."

Listening to the old scholar's analysis, Duncan nodded in agreement: "This is not blind optimism. We really need to summarize the laws of the Nameless One's Dream from more changes."

"But the Nameless Man's Dream will disperse us and cut off our connection with the Captain," Vanna added. "This is a big problem."

"I have a general idea about this now," Duncan recalled last night's experience, especially the vague information he felt after establishing contact with the giant vine and boarding the strange "Lost Homeland". He said thoughtfully, "If the Nameless One's Dream expands again, I should have a chance to verify this idea."

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

"We don't know when the Nameless Man's Dream will change again," Duncan said, his eyes falling on Lucrecia. "Now we need to determine whether other parts of the city-state were also affected last night. The fastest way is to contact the governor of Breeze Harbor."

"Leave it to me," said Lucrecia at once. "I will go to Sarah Mair in a moment to see if he has noticed what happened last night."

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

"I understand," Vanna nodded immediately in agreement, "This is something I'm very good at."

Morris also nodded and said, "I know some old friends at the Academy of Truth. I can ask them to help facilitate the investigation."

Duncan's gaze finally turned to Nina and Shirley.

"You two should stay home for now," Duncan said after a brief thought. "You won't be required to do anything for now, but if we find any clues about the Sun Cult or the Annihilation Cult, we may need your help."

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

Shirley beside her asked curiously, "What about you?"

"I'm going back to the ship," Duncan said, rising from the sofa. "I'm leaving now."

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

Duncan stopped and looked at the puppet in confusion: "Why are you following?"

Alice thought about it, looked at the other people in the living room, raised her hand and scratched her hair, and said confidently: "I don't know either!"

Duncan: “…”

After a brief silence, he suddenly smiled and sighed.

"Okay, come with me if you want. I'm worried about leaving you in the city."

Alice suddenly became happy: "Hehe..."

A moment later, everyone started to act as planned.
