Chapter 193 The Truth Deep in the Dream

Looking at Count Sanasis's deliberate expression, Lucian's mouth twitched slightly.

This should be Count Sanasis seeking help from me or asking me to help him, but it is obvious that this guy is still a bit arrogant, so he puts on such a "free help" to tempt me...

However, Lucian was also very interested in the deep layer of dreams that Count Sanasis mentioned.

After all, the dream mezzanine is a special area that is difficult to explore for many wizards, and it is also the best experimental site for studying dream-related powers. The dream power that is extremely difficult to extract in the wizarding world is as common and within reach as air there.

Not to mention the precious materials or precious life specimens that can only be produced in the interlayer of dreams.

However, Lucian also knew the weirdness and danger of the dream world. There were many special rules there that were different from or even contradictory to the wizarding world. There might even be some emergency situations beyond his cognition, and the dangers were difficult to control.

You have to know that Helen, who was already a second-level wizard at the time, was forcibly sealed by himself with the strength of a first-level wizard because of the backlash of the power of dreams, and he also used the help of the power of dreams to refine her into his servant puppet?
What's more, the greatest danger of the dream layer comes from the erosion and assimilation of the body by the power of dreams.

Just like when wizard Helen opened up the rift between the dream layer and the wizarding world inside the academy, a large amount of dream power poured in and directly transformed some areas into a dream layer environment. All life forms in the dream layer will be assimilated by the dream at different speeds, and eventually become a part of the dream.

Once that happens, there may still be a chance to become a dream creature, or perhaps as a certain life wakes up and the dream is shattered, it will inevitably perish together.

Lucian hesitated a little at this thought. He lowered his head slightly, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

“May I ask first what you want me to do in the dream mezzanine?” After a moment of silence, Lucian looked at Count Thanasis, whose face could hardly hide his anticipation.

"Of course you are going to help me... ahem, of course I am going to take you to collect dream crystals." Count Sanasis said, but his eyes were looking into the distance, and his guilt was almost written on his face.

“If it’s for the Dream Crystal, then please allow me to refuse. After all, no matter how precious a magic tool is, it is not as valuable as my own life. But if you, Sanasis, have other reasons that you cannot escape, I think we can discuss it again.” Lucian was silent for a moment, and his fingers stopped tapping the table rhythmically.

After pausing for more than ten seconds, he looked at Count Sanasis and spoke in a deep voice.

"Do I need your help? Nonsense! This is the greatest insult to the great and noble Count Sanasis!" Count Sanasis spoke loudly, but always gave people a feeling of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

He angrily walked down from his "Grape Throne", as if he wanted to find a suitable thing to prove his strength, but he looked left and right, but could not find a suitable opponent.

After walking around, the angry Count Sanasis found a specimen needle on the table.

He angrily grabbed the steel needle with his tentacles, and then tried hard to break it, but its body turned purple due to excessive force, but the sturdy steel needle did not change at all, and did not even show the slightest bend.

“I can actually solve it, but it’s a pity to waste your experimental equipment like this.” Count Sanasis dropped the needle, looked at Lucian, was silent for a moment, and then forced an explanation.

Lucian was also silent. After staring at Count Sanasis for a while, he silently handed him a wooden toothpick.

"Thank you, but no thanks." Count Sanasis's body moved slightly, but the color of his body gradually changed from purple to light blue.

After a slightly awkward silence, Count Thanasis seemed to be deflated all of a sudden. He slumped down on the table in a somewhat dejected manner, and then looked at Lucian. "Well, two-legged hairy monster, you win. You have successfully defeated the great and noble Count Thanasis, although your way of winning is somewhat unfair."

Count Sanasis's voice was a little low when he spoke the last half of the sentence.

Lucian looked at Count Thanasis silently, waiting for his next words.

“Why are you looking at me? Do you think I can’t afford to lose?” Count Sanasis seemed a little frightened by Lucian’s stare. He snorted, but finally spoke helplessly.

"Okay, I admit that I encountered some troubles in the dream layer. That place is not very friendly to dream creatures. I was thinking of trying it with that nightmare creature, but she seemed to have been transformed too thoroughly, so the attempt failed." When Count Sanasis said this, his tone seemed a little wilted. "Of course, I don't bother to lie to you. That place does have a lot of high-quality dream crystals. You can collect a lot of them just by collecting them casually..."

As Count Sanasis was talking, he seemed to feel that his actions just now were a little unkind. After a pause, he suddenly stopped talking and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it later. With your strength, if you go there, tut tut tut..."

"Can you tell me some specific information about that place? I'm very curious about an environment deep in the dream layer that is not very friendly to dream creatures." Lucian ignored Count Sanasis's deliberate ridicule, but looked at him and asked about the specific situation of that special place.

"That is the dream world... the real area of ​​the mezzanine." After a few seconds of silence, Count Sanasis said this hesitantly.

"The...real area of ​​dreams?" Lucian was a little confused by Count Thanasis' words.

"You now know that these things are useless, so don't be too curious about certain things, which may bring you unimaginable disasters."

Count Sanasis sounded a little irritated. No matter how much Lucian tried to probe him on this topic, Count Sanasis ignored him, as if he had been touched upon something that particularly concerned him.

“Then you have to tell me something about that real area, right?” Lucian looked helplessly at Count Thanasis, who was holding on despite having no ability. He even had the illusion that he had strengthened his immortality in his mouth.

"That was once a key node in the dream world and one of the cornerstones for absorbing the power of dreams. Of course, it also hides... clues to things that I really want to confirm." Count Sanasis finally succumbed to Lucian's repeated questioning and finally told him some information about that area.

"In that place, the power of dreams is completely isolated. No matter how powerful a dream creature is, even a powerful lord-level dream creature, all its dream-related abilities will be invalidated after entering... But that place is also dangerous. There may even be 'partners' invited by other dream creatures fighting each other inside."

Count Sanasis slowly spoke of the intelligence he had, "You... forget it. Anyway, the dream node will reappear after a while. We can wait for other opportunities, or wait for the next dream node to appear."

Count Sanasis spoke casually and nonchalantly, and seemed to be deliberately emphasizing that the thing was not important to him at all.

However, Lucian ignored Count Thanasis's lie, which was not a lie, and silently analyzed the possible risks.

"Among the possible opponents over there, what level of strength is the strongest?" Lucian asked this most crucial question after pausing for a moment.

If the opponents were at least level three wizards, Lucian felt that even if he wanted to help Count Sanasis, he did not have the strength to do so. On the contrary, as a friend who had known Count Sanasis for so many days, he would definitely advise Count Sanasis to learn to do things within his ability.

"The strongest... is probably at the level of a second-level wizard. After all, the main opponents were all invited by some dream creatures. They don't have the face to let a third-level wizard come to the depths of the dream layer to fight for them. What's more, if the opponent is too strong, do you think I can come back alive?"

Count Thanasis thought about it and gave Lucian a fairly accurate upper limit of his strength.

A second-level wizard?

Lucian paused for a moment, but then smiled. “I think we can iron out some of the finer details now, Thanasis.”

"That's right... this time we'll just let them pick up the junk we don't want." Count Sanasis didn't seem to notice what Lucian was saying, so he spoke to himself first, and then he realized belatedly that Lucian's tone seemed to indicate agreement.

"Two-legged hairy monster, do you know what you are saying?" Count Sanasis suddenly roared in an excited tone, as if he had been deceived by Lucian.

His eyes flickered as he looked at Lucian, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a mumble that Lucian couldn't understand.

After mumbling for a long time, Count Thanasis looked at Lucian and muttered softly, "Forget it, you are the only one who can bear the consequences of your own decision, just like a fish in a dream needs enough courage and determination to go ashore if it wants to eat cat meat..."

"According to the principle of equivalent exchange in the wizarding world, let's talk about the compensation first, two-legged hairy monster." Suddenly, Count Sanasis's voice became a little formal, and in front of him, a piece of paper that was somewhat similar to the contract scroll in the wizarding world appeared, with densely packed words on it.
