“That’s right.” Noland Lee nodded and waved his hand, saying:
“Alright, let’s get back to the point. You want to find the hidden extraterrestrial space pollution within the Empire, right? I have a clue.”
“Okay, tell me.”
“I have seen the Dusk Giants twice.”
“You have seen the Dusk Giants twice?” Morster thoughtfully said:
“Since you successfully became a wizard through self-study of Undead Runes, your spiritual ocean must be more advanced than that of ordinary Empire people. Therefore, the first time you saw the Dusk Giants should be in the dream brought by the first injection of the Strengthening Potion, right? Did you see a Dusk Giants sitting on a mountain in the dreamscape?”
“Dusk Giants sitting on a mountain?” Noland Lee looked at Morster confusedly:
“You mean, under normal circumstances, the Dusk Giants that appear in the dreamscape are sitting on a mountain?”
“Yes, what else?” Morster was somewhat puzzled.
Enlightenment appeared in Noland Lee’s mind.
He shook his head and said:
“Never mind. Let’s continue with the main topic.”
Noland Lee pointed at his feet:
“I saw the Dusk Giants for the second time here, within this pollution field. But what I saw was not its main body or dreamscape.
“Before I arrived at the ceremony site to communicate with outer space, I encountered some mutated tentacles. They were black tentacles with dark green light spots and would not actively attack humans. They sought my help, asking me to use death magic to enhance the magic resistance of their mutated tentacle overlord. That mutated tentacle overlord had been fighting with the tribal leader of Shubick descendants. It wasn’t until the alchemy ship arrived at the ceremony site that the mutated tentacle overlord and its subordinate mutated tentacles were all wiped out by the Shubick descendants.”
Noland Lee looked at Morster, who was lost in thought, and said:
“The mutated tentacles showed me the will’s light spots within them, and I sensed the essence of the Dusk Giants from it. Those mutated tentacles indeed carried the will of the Dusk Giants. The Dusk Giants communicated with me by assembling the mutated tentacles into Undead Runes.”
“Are you sure the will’s light spots you saw were the Dusk Giants?” Morster asked.
“Yes. I am one hundred percent sure of this. I can’t go into the specific reasons. You will know soon that what I am saying is true. I have two things to tell you about the result of my communication with the Dusk Giants.”
Noland Lee held up two fingers and said:
“First, the Dusk Giants are a simple-minded but powerful extraordinary race. I just helped them fight against Shubick’s tentacles for a short while, and they gave me the cultivation method of their race. As you can imagine, any extraordinary beings with enough ambition would want to possess them. Your father is no exception. He prevented the Wizard Advancement Association from establishing a First Level Magic Research Institute because he wanted to monopolize all the treasures of the Dusk Giants. Don’t be angry with me for saying this, but it is the truth.”
Morster calmly nodded and said:
“Yes, I know about this matter. My father always wanted to establish a country without wizards. He wanted to use his own theories to prove that people could resist the pollution of outer space without the help of wizards. I understand his desire to monopolize the Dusk Giants. I won’t oppose him, nor will I fight against the Ulnas Circle for his sake. I will just do my duty as a junior.”
“Your duty will be hindered, Morster. Because the second thing I discussed with the Dusk Giants is related to this.”
Noland Lee paused for a moment and said solemnly:
“Forces wanting to dominate the Dusk Giants include not only your father but also the Death Herald Guild and the Ancient Tatis Dynasty. The Undead Cult you see now is from the Ancient Tatis Dynasty, created after learning the death magic from the Dusk Giants. Do you know that?”
Morster was stunned for two seconds and then shook his head stiffly:
“No… I didn’t know… My father never told me. No wonder destroying historical relics from the ancient dynasties has always been an important mission for Division Intelligence Unit Two…”
“Okay, it seems you don’t know much more than I do.” Noland Lee shook his finger and said:
“The people of the ancient dynasty, the people of the Death Herald Guild, and your father have all deceived the Dusk Giants, saying that only they can help the Dusk Giants resurrect. Yes, you heard right, Dusk Giants are already dead in the material world. They were killed by Shubick before crossing the Star Filtering Net. They now rely on their own essence to live in the dreamscape.
“Neither the Death Herald Guild nor your father, or even the Undead Cult, actually have the ability to help the Dusk Giants resurrect. They deceived the Dusk Giants. The Dusk Giants, after my reminder, realized they had been deceived.”
Noland Lee paused for a moment and solemnly said to Morster:
“The Dusk Giants have decided to stop providing funding to your father. The biochemical mutation elixirs used to strengthen military officers and the mutant materials needed to create biochemical soldiers will soon be in short supply. Be prepared, Morster, the Tatis Empire will face turmoil.”
“Stop funding…” As the Acting Commander, Morster knew exactly how the biochemical mutation elixirs in the Empire came to be, and the Dusk Giants’ help was indispensable in this.
At this point, upon hearing Noland Lee’s words, large metallic spikes emerged on Morster’s metallic skin, and his emotions surged immediately:
“My father brings out the extraordinary traits needed to make biochemical mutation elixirs from the dreamscape every day. If the Dusk Giants stop funding, doesn’t that mean my father won’t be able to bring out those extraordinary traits from the dreamscape?! Then how can we make biochemical mutation elixirs to strengthen our Imperial soldiers and fight against the Undead Cult?!”
