The dream wizard's specialty is using Dreamlands to manipulate the power of dreams, drawing the mental will of others into them. Although dreams lack realism, they can still be quite useful.

For example, extracting information is just like Lu Li Matchstick from Matchsticks; it's extremely convenient to use it to extract information. Also, although the authenticity is insufficient, it doesn't mean it can't cause harm.

It's important to understand that people can harm themselves. Anger injures the liver, joy injures the heart, sorrow injures the lungs, and overthinking injures the spleen. A person's own emotions can react and cause harm to themselves. Using dreams mainly involves exploiting the plot to attack the spirit of the person.

For example, previously, under Alice's control, Lu Li transformed into an unconscious state within the dream. If Alice hadn't blocked it from the beginning, Lu Li's consciousness would have already collapsed.

Therefore, although dreams lack realism, they are still a very useful ability because everyone has dreams, even if they don't dream.

Lu Li is now manipulating the dream of someone on the candlestick, enveloping both Lu Li and Alice. The surrounding environment changes, and some information is transmitted to the two people who have entered the dream.

Because Lu Li possesses a higher level of power due to the condensation of the Dreamlands, his status within the dream realm is considerably higher. Therefore, he can read some information about this dream realm, and Alice is no exception.

Therefore, the level of knowledge of every mature dream wizard is beyond your imagination.

"This is actually Aurora's dream! No wonder it's so rich and colorful," Alice said with some amazement after discovering the dream's owner through the information.

"Aurora? That sleeping vampire?" Lu Li said, quite surprised. He had just randomly chosen a dream scenario. "Is she also one of Theseus's people?"

"Actually, most of the Fairy Tale Town is related to Theseus. Even if they aren't Theseus's people now, they were Theseus." Alice said, "As long as you haven't broken your contract, Theseus has a stake in whatever you do, whether it's opening a shop or establishing an organization. You should know that."

"That really is a behemoth." Although Lu Li knew similar information and had guessed that Theseus was huge, he did not expect it to be even larger than Lu Li imagined.

At this moment, the sky of the dream shook and began to pulsate rhythmically, and crimson blood rained down from the sky. Aurora was an ancient vampire of unknown age.

Her castle was overgrown with Thorn, and she set a rule that anyone who came to her castle and offered blood could have sex with her. Since setting this rule, Aurora has been asleep for a hundred years, and how many guests have visited her castle in those hundred years is unknown.

But the next moment, the colors of the dream dimmed considerably, and Aurora, who had been asleep for a hundred years, suddenly awoke from her slumber. Before Lu Li and Alice, a captivatingly alluring naked woman appeared.

Vampires, or bloodlines, are semi-undead creatures. They no longer have the body temperature, heartbeat, and breathing of normal humans, but they can live for a long time as long as there is blood.

As a long-lived species, vampires often go into a deep slumber, partly to pass the time and partly to regulate their bloodline. Therefore, the longer a vampire has been in slumber, the more terrifying they become.

Because of their long-term slumber, vampires are not unfamiliar with their own dreams. Although they cannot control the dreams of others like dream wizards, they can still perfectly control their own dreams. Therefore, vampires can also experience a real sense of pleasure in their own dreams.

Lu Li remained noncommittal to Aurora's suggestion. Physical pleasure, though base, was still pleasure, but Lu Li was simply too lazy to waste time on it. "The flood season of the River of Wisdom is approaching, which is probably why you awakened. There's no need to waste time."

"Then forget it, I should wake up too." With that, Aurora disappeared from the dream, and the entire dream faded into darkness.

"Let's go, we don't have much time left." After saying that, the two exited the dream. The flood season of the River of Wisdom does not mean that the seven-colored water of the River of Wisdom will rise, but rather refers to a state of the River of Wisdom.

People can travel to the Land of Stars via the River of Wisdom undergo its trials. However, not everyone could enter before, as the River of Wisdom was too great, and people went mad because of its greatness.

To cross the River of Wisdom, one will inevitably witness its true nature. Without protection, one might gain considerable knowledge, but going insane is certain. Therefore, protection is essential for entering the River of Wisdom.

This protection is the pebble that Lu Li still has in his hand. Of course, the one in Lu Li's hand has already been used. The River of Wisdom will produce blank pebbles. With the bubbles formed by the pebbles, reality can be blocked, and entering the River of Wisdom...

However, the production of blank pebbles is not high. During normal times, some production occurs at certain nodes, which are controlled by various organizations. Only during the flood season does the River of Wisdom produce a large number of blank pebbles throughout its entire length. Therefore, every flood season is a carnival for Fairy Tale Town.

After leaving Building B, Lu Li and Alice parted ways. Alice was considered a high-ranking member of the Theseus organization, and her status was quite special, allowing her to obtain more and better blank pebbles in the river section occupied by the Theseus organization.

However, Lu Li was only an outer member, and the price he paid was not enough to get Theseus more help, so he had no choice but to go to the public section of the river to plunder on his own.

Using the teleportation device set up by the Theseus organization, Lu Li arrived directly in Fairy Tale Town. Fairy Tale Town was packed with people today, with people coming and going on the streets, and the crowd gradually heading towards the River of Wisdom outside the town.

Upon arriving at the River of Wisdom, Lu Li spotted Sister Hao Ran and some other players in the crowd. Sister Hao Ran, as always, remained aloof, standing alone by the river in her high heels.

The other players were not in good condition either; some had even had their limbs replaced by substitutes because of Theseus's erratic behavior.

To Lu Li's surprise, Aurora, whom he had just seen in his dream, was also standing by a riverbank, surrounded by many people. Although he didn't know Aurora's exact status in Theseus, he figured it wasn't low. Why was she appearing on a public riverbank?

First update. Thanks to "No Female Lead Novel" for the generous donation. Because I had writer's block last night while updating the Xu Ming, I'm not in the best condition today. I'll try to update four times.
