“Calm down, Morster.” Noland Lee pressed his palm down and asked calmly:

“What was the Dusk Giant doing in the dreamscape your father saw?”

Morster took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down:

“In the dreamscape, the Dusk Giant was sitting on the mountain, facing the setting sun with his eyes closed, as if he were sleeping. You’ve seen this scene too. Isn’t this the scene you would see after injecting the Strengthening Potion?”

Noland Lee shook his head:

“No, that’s the problem. I saw another dreamscape.”

Morster’s eyes widened in shock, and two parallel indentations appeared on his Silver White Mask:

“What… another dreamscape?”

“Yes. In the dreamscape I saw, the Dusk Giant’s head was hooked by a tentacle stretching from the sky, hanging in the bloody red dusk sky.”

Noland Lee raised his hand and pointed to the giant tentacles fighting the alchemy ship in the distance:

“Look, the tentacles I saw in the dreamscape are Shubick’s tentacles, but they are much thicker and larger than the tentacles we see now. I think what I saw is the real Twilight Dream. The dreamscapes seen by your father and the many Imperial soldiers who injected the Strengthening Potion, are all fake. Those fake dreamscapes were created by Shubick to hide the real dreamscape. In the real dreamscape, Shubick looted the Extraordinary Traits from the Dusk Giant and then handed them over to your father in the fake dreamscape. Your father always thought he was communicating with the Dusk Giant, but in fact, it was Shubick, who created the false dreamscapes.”

In fact, when Noland Lee reached this point, he remembered something that he hadn’t thought was unusual before, but now seemed very strange.

After waking up from the dreamscape of the Strengthening Potion, Sully asked him if he had seen the scene of the setting sun. Sully’s tone at the time was calm, as if the sunset scene was beautiful.

If Sully knew that the Dusk Giant in the sunset dreamscape had been hanged in the air, would she still be so calm? Clearly not. Only the scene of the Dusk Giant sitting at the top of the mountain in the sunset would make Sully feel peaceful.

If Noland Lee had thought deeper then, he may have realized that the dreamscape he saw and the dreamscapes recorded by Division Intelligence Unit Three were completely different. Fortunately, realizing this point now was not too late.

“How could this happen… Were we deceived by Shubick all along…” Morster was completely dumbfounded, unable to determine if Noland Lee’s speculation was correct.

Noland Lee lifted his hands and drew a circle in front of him:

“Your father has always brought Extraordinary Traits from the fake dreamscapes. Most of the traits, used to make Biochemical Elixirs, are not problematic and do not have Shubick’s mental pollution. Only a few will cause corruption of the soul. The Imperial Major who controlled the cargo ship became Shubick’s pawn due to contact with the corrupting ingredients in the potions. By retrieving records and investigating Yasde’s connections, you search for the whereabouts of the extraterrestrial space pollution. This is not a problem. But after the Dusk Giant stops supplying materials, you will replace a more efficient method.”

Morster caught up with Noland Lee’s thinking and quickly understood.

He exclaimed with sudden realization:

“Oh! I understand. When the Dusk Giant stops supplying Extraordinary Traits, Shubick can no longer plunder them from the real dreamscape. Then all the Extraordinary Traits that appear in the fake dreamscapes are created by Shubick and carry his mental pollution. They can’t be used to make Biochemical Mutation Elixirs, but they can make those corrupted by Shubick stronger. If I withhold this problematic batch of Extraordinary Traits, whoever is most anxious and most eager to get them is Shubick’s pawn within the Empire.”

Noland Lee gave a thumbs up:

“Yes, that’s what I mean. But that’s still not what I want you to do.”

With a mix of excitement, Morster rubbed his Silver White palms together:

“Tell me, Jarvis, what do you want me to do? I can’t wait to get back to the Empire and replace out who has been corrupted by Shubick.”

Noland Lee continued:

“The Death Herald Guild is about to leave, Morster, you should know this. If the Empire still has a sufficient stockpile of arms after their departure, your father will continue to prevent the wizard forces from entering.

“But now that the Dusk Giant has stopped supplying Extraordinary Traits, the Empire’s military power will inevitably weaken. In addition, since Union City has not fallen into chaos, the Empire cannot expand its borders to the north, leaving you without more land and population to counter the pressure from the Undead Cult.

“Your father will have no choice but to allow the wizard forces to enter. The Dusk Giant can take this opportunity to choose the wizard forces he likes and leave the Tatis Empire with their help.”

Morster spoke with a complex tone:

“This is your strategy for the Dusk Giant, isn’t it? As you said, the Dusk Giant is simple-minded and would never think of these things. Only you can help him make this decision.”

“Yes, it’s me.” Noland Lee admitted frankly:

“Someone has to push from behind the scenes to give the Tatis Empire, which is entering a deadlock, a chance to turn things around. Now you also know that Shubick has been tricking your father with a false dreamscape. Can you be one hundred percent sure that the promise your father made in front of you was his true inner thoughts, instead of lies spoken under Shubick’s manipulation?
