Chapter 556

Chapter 409 – Transmission

‘I need to ask Vania directly to clarify these issues… But she’s currently in deep sleep and unable to answer… Sigh… This makes things a bit difficult…’

Clutching her head, Dorothy felt somewhat troubled but quickly came up with an idea after a brief moment of thought.

‘Perhaps… I could communicate with the sleeping Vania through dreams, just like when I helped Gregor before… The problem is that I don’t know where Vania’s dream cocoon is located in the Dream Realm. Even if I did, I don’t have a Dream Anchor Sigil to get there. And even if I could get there, entering someone else’s dream cocoon requires the extraordinary ability of a Dreamwalker, and finding that little fox might take some time.’

Seeing that she couldn’t wake Vania, Dorothy decided to try communicating with her in a dream. However, lacking coordinates in the Dream Realm and a Dream Anchor Sigil, her own dream manifestation couldn’t reach Vania’s side. Thus, to achieve dream communication, she needed to think of another way.

‘Right… When helping Gregor, I used the information channel to successfully send messages to his dream and receive information from him. Perhaps I can also use the information channel to view Vania’s dream and communicate with her.’

‘Surely, since Vania was praying to me before falling asleep, I can directly use the information channel to obtain information from her.’

With this thought, Dorothy immediately began to act. She started to activate the information channel linked to Vania, using it to directly access Vania’s thoughts while she slept.

Actually, under normal circumstances, the information channel cannot forcibly extract information from someone’s brain. However, because Vania often included phrases like “sacrifice everything” in her prayers to Dorothy, Dorothy gained the right to directly read Vania’s mind, as everything naturally includes one’s thoughts.

Finally, after a small attempt, Dorothy successfully used the information channel to obtain Vania’s current thoughts and saw what was happening in her dream. She saw the church district square in the dream, Vania conversing with others on the square, and the shadow in front of her.

Seeing the shadow, Dorothy’s frown deepened.

…

“Mother Vania, I want to ask you who is the highest authority in your fleet?”

Standing in the dream square, the dark shadow asked the confused Vania, who then answered directly.

“It is Sir Jorde Bianchi. He is the overall commander of our fleet.”

“Bianchi? That sounds like an Iwig person… Where is your fleet from? What is the destination? Why go there?”

“Our fleet set sail from Faraluo, with the destination being Iwig… We are going there for pilgrimage…”

The shadow, with its human-like qualities, asked Vania various questions one by one, and Vania answered each question in her confusion. Almost all of the shadow’s questions were answered, which alarmed Dorothy in the inn.

‘There is someone… Someone else is in Vania’s dream? And this person is asking Vania for information… Is he the one who put Vania into deep sleep?’

Dorothy was surprised by the scenery in Vania’s dream. Initially, she wanted to use the information channel to contact Vania in her dream and ask who was targeting her. But she hadn’t expected this person would directly enter Vania’s dream and gather information through it!

This sudden change left Dorothy stunned, but soon she realized the severity of the situation.

‘It seems this person has the ability to enter others’ dreams and gather information within them… It’s very much like the ability of a Dreamwalker. Vania’s deep sleep is likely caused by this person. Currently, he seems to be collecting information about the Church’s fleet…

‘Even though I don’t know what he intends to do with this information, the situation is dire for me. Vania is already under control in her dream, answering everything. If this continues, he might ask questions that involve me, and then Vania will reveal everything!’

Dorothy thought anxiously, although the shadow was mainly asking about the Church’s fleet, due to her secret connection with the fleet, if the shadow kept probing, Vania would inevitably expose her.

It was precisely because of Dorothy and Jorde that they had come to this small town and clashed with Costa. If the shadow continued questioning Vania, she would certainly reveal Dorothy’s existence, which Dorothy desperately wanted to avoid.

‘This person seems to be investigating why the Church’s fleet came to Navaha. If he keeps pressing, I might be exposed…

‘No! If this continues, Vania will reveal everything! Although I don’t know which faction this person belongs to, I absolutely cannot let my information fall into his hands!’

Dorothy thought anxiously. Her immediate goal was to stop Vania from revealing any more information to the shadow. She didn’t want this unknown dangerous figure to learn her true identity.

‘But… How can I stop him now? He invaded Vania’s dream directly; I can’t find his real body. Using a dream manifestation is impossible without Vania’s Dream Realm coordinates and a Dream Anchor Sigil…’

Dorothy thought urgently. Clearly, for her, using a dream manifestation to find Vania’s dream cocoon was unrealistic, and directly searching for the real person in reality offered no clues. Even if she tried to search for clues and find the person, the information would probably be revealed before she found anyone.

Time was running out. While Dorothy was anxious, Vania continued answering the shadow’s questions in the dream. Dorothy wasn’t sure at which question she would be exposed, so she had to immediately think of a way to end this dream conversation.

Currently, Dorothy had two means to intervene in Vania’s situation: the Puppet Mark and the information channel. After a brief moment of thought, Dorothy came up with a plan.

‘If I remember correctly… I once used the information channel to communicate with Gregor and the little fox in their dreams. This means I can use the information channel to send information into Vania’s dream.’

“Hmm, if you want information, I can give you plenty, secrets from the hidden world…”

Snorting coldly, Dorothy activated the secret transmissions stored in her memory, using the information channel to transmit to Vania’s dream. She intended to send the daring spy a taste of poison.
