"Tyr has been trying to find Soul Crystals to break through to Tier Five?"

Li Wei pondered this carefully.

’This might be an opportunity to break the stalemate.’

He happened to hold the very thing Tyr desired.

Of course, Tyr would never get his hands on the Soul Crystal Li Wei possessed.

Li Wei didn’t know how to bring a Soul Crystal from the Dream World into reality either.

But just knowing that the item Tyr wanted was a Soul Crystal gave him a lot to work with.

Until now, Tyr himself wasn’t even sure if such a thing actually existed.

He had only deduced theoretically that he needed an item to strengthen his soul to complete the advancement ritual.

Only then would he have a hope of breaking through to Tier Five.

On the other hand, he was also trying every means possible to increase his soul’s strength.

As long as his soul strength met the standard, he would have a chance to break through to Tier Five, even without that item.

After a moment of thought, a plan had already formed in Li Wei’s mind.

Before Tyr could notice anything unusual about the dream, Li Wei sent him out of the Dream World.

’It’s a good thing I waited until my Great Dream Traveling Skill reached Tier Three before seeking out Tyr. Otherwise, there probably would have been a problem.’

Tyr left the Dream World, his consciousness returning to reality.

He slowly opened his eyes.

He thought what had just happened was merely an unintentional memory resurfacing.

But the lingering, unusual feeling in his heart told him something was wrong.

’Why did I suddenly remember all that?’

Tyr focused his thoughts, pondering.

He finally recalled some details.

His gaze sharpened, a keen light flickering in his eyes.

"A dream? Could it be the Black Cultists?"

Not long ago, the Black Cultists had just launched a sneak attack on the Mage Tower.

Even if he was being targeted by the Black Cultists, Tyr wouldn’t be too surprised.

After the Mage Tower’s sweep, the Black Cultists had been quiet for half a month.

Tyr suspected he had been targeted by the Black Cultists.

"Heh, how audacious! To think they’d dare to come after me."

Regardless of whether they were Black Cultists or not, Tyr would not stand idly by.

If they wanted to deal with him, they would have to pay the price.

The next day, Leviedan brought Tyr some good news.

"Your Excellency, Grand Mage, I think I’ve discovered what it is you’re looking for."

Leviedan said cautiously, his head lowered.

Tyr was a little surprised. "Oh? Tell me," he said.

He didn’t have high hopes.

After all, he had already been searching for two years.

Leviedan was merely a Tier One Mage. How could he have so easily found what Tyr needed?

Hearing Tyr’s words, Leviedan quickly said, "The item the Grand Mage requires is called a Soul Crystal."

He hurriedly took out a book and showed it to Tyr.

The book mentioned that Soul Crystals could strengthen the soul.

Tyr looked surprised after reading it.

’I didn’t expect Leviedan to actually find it.’

After a glance, he frowned and said, "This book only says Soul Crystals can strengthen the soul. It doesn’t say where to get them."

"I want the item itself, not knowledge from a book."

He also knew of some items that could strengthen the soul.

But they were so rare that even he didn’t dare to hope for them.

For example, Dragon Soul Stones and the Ten Thousand Souls Liquid.

He had indeed never heard of Soul Crystals before, so the information Leviedan provided was, at the very least, somewhat useful.

Leviedan quickly added, "I heard—from a Black Cultist—that they can find Soul Crystals in dreams."

"Find Soul Crystals in dreams?"

Tyr’s expression flickered.

’Is this a coincidence?’

He immediately thought of last night’s events.

Tyr sneered inwardly, understanding that this was very likely a trap set for him.

But if he could really obtain Soul Crystals, he was willing to walk into it, even if it was a trap.

His opponent also knew this was an overt scheme.

Tyr looked at Leviedan, staring into his eyes, and asked, "Where did you get this information?"

A flicker of fear crossed Leviedan’s eyes. He said nervously, "I really did hear it from a Black Cultist."

"The Black Cultist said there’s a rare profession called Sleepwalker."

"Sleepwalkers can operate in the Dream World, and the currency they use is the Soul Crystal."

Tyr reached out, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Very good. You’ve brought me some good news."

Leviedan forced an ugly smile.

"It is my honor to be of service to you."

Tyr said, "I have a request. Can you fulfill it?"

Leviedan quickly replied, "Please, just ask. Both I and the Reinstein Clan will do everything in our power to satisfy your request."

Tyr looked at him and laughed inwardly.

’This guy is still trying to be clever in front of me. He wants to take all the credit for himself and not share it with his clan.’

Understanding his intentions, Tyr didn’t mind.

Tyr said, "Then please arrange for me to meet a living Black Cultist—one who at least has the ability to make people enter the Dream World."

Upon hearing this, Leviedan immediately said, "No problem. I will find a way to arrange it."

Tyr nodded. "Do a good job, and you will be well rewarded."

Leviedan was thrilled to receive Tyr’s promise.

He puffed out his chest and guaranteed he would handle the matter well.

After leaving Tyr’s room, Leviedan went to the City Lord’s Mansion, trying by any means to meet with the deputy leader of the Black Cultists, who was being held in the dungeon.

Half a month ago, the greatest success of the Mage Tower’s sweep was the capture of the Black Cultists’ deputy leader in Maple City.

Due to his special status, he wasn’t executed and has been held in the dungeon of the City Lord’s Mansion ever since.

Not only has he not been tortured, but he’s actually been enjoying VIP treatment.

This is because the man is City Lord Otz’s brother-in-law.

Arnold, the husband of Delis’s mother.

Arnold is also a Hereditary Viscount of the Empire.

Theoretically, upon Arnold’s death, Delis would inherit his title of Hereditary Viscount.

Even just to preserve this title, Otz wouldn’t do anything to him.

For an ordinary noble, associating with Evil God Cultists is a capital crime.

But for nobles of a sufficiently high rank, it is not an unforgivable offense.

Until his title is stripped, he still enjoys the treatment of an Imperial noble.

Otz was naturally unwilling to let Arnold’s title be revoked.

Therefore, the news that Arnold was the deputy leader of the Black Cultists had not spread and was still being kept secret.

Leviedan only knew about this because Li Wei had told him through certain special means.

As for how Li Wei knew...

Arnold’s capture had a little something to do with him.

While he was madly hunting Nightmares in the dreams of Maple City, he had accidentally discovered Arnold’s presence within the dream of a tortured Black Cultist.

He had seen him more than once.

So, he passed the information to Torresta.

And later, Arnold was captured.

Li Wei had a Shadow Attendant possess one of the imprisoned Black Cultists.

Through this Black Cultist’s mouth, he passed some information to Leviedan.

Of course, Leviedan’s "accidental" discovery was also single-handedly arranged by Li Wei.

He had truly racked his brains to ensure Tyr received the news that Soul Crystals could be obtained in the Dream World.

When Otz learned that Leviedan wanted to see Arnold, he was somewhat surprised.

’Who told him?’

Otz summoned Leviedan.

He learned that it wasn’t Leviedan who wanted to see Arnold, but Tyr.

Leviedan brought up the Reinstein Clan and requested Otz’s help.

Out of respect for the Reinstein Clan and Grand Mage Tyr, Otz reluctantly agreed to let Tyr see Arnold.
