Chapter 366 Dream

"What kind of creature are you and why do you appear in my dream?" Ma Yun scratched her head, "Strange...how do I know I am dreaming?"

"You know you are dreaming because I let you know you are dreaming. My name is Panda." The monster replied.

"Panda...isn't even a panda!"

"Please listen to me, impatient mage lady." The long-nosed panda named Panda patiently explained to her: "Panda is just my name. In fact, I am a dream tapir."

Goofy is also watching Dorothy Gale's dream.

After listening to Panda's self-introduction, he quickly opened the astrolabe and retrieved information about the creature "Dream Tapir".

Judging from the information provided in the Monster Manual, the Dream Tapir is a medium-sized magical beast that is neutral and kind.

Dream tapirs love to eat the dreams of intelligent creatures, especially nightmares, thereby alleviating the anxiety and panic of dreamers.

The kind-hearted Dream Tapir hates each other with the Night Hag, who is keen on creating nightmares and torturing others through nightmares.

The dream tapir has a gentle temperament, but once it encounters a night hag, it will pursue it to the end, vowing to eliminate these evil spirits who spread nightmares from the world.

The old enemies of the Night Hag and the Dream Tapir naturally remind Goofy of Evanora, the Witch of the East.

Evanora is an evil night hag who probably had a conflict with Panda, the dream tapir.

Evanora has been crushed to death by Dorothy's cabin. Judging from the common sense of "enemy of enemy can become friend", Panda should have no ill intentions when sneaking into Dorothy's dream.

The next news revealed by Dream Tapir Panda confirmed Gao Fei's guess.

"Miss Gale, have you heard of the Four Witches of Oz?" Panda asked Ma Yun.

"Of course I know this! The four great witches of the East, East and West are bad. The South and the North are said to be kinder."

"The name of the good witch in the north is Edpel, and she is my mistress." Panda finally revealed his intention, "Miss Mage, I sneaked into your dream tonight to convey Ms. Edpel's warning to you. "

"What exactly do you mean by warning?" Ma Yun asked curiously.

"The Witch of the East, Evanora, who was killed by you, also had a daughter named Istna. Do you know about this?"

“This is the first time I’ve heard of it!”

"Then you have to be careful, Istna, a female mage with the blood of the Night Hag is chasing you!" Meng Tapir solemnly warned Ma Yun.

"Chasing me...she wants to avenge her mother?!"

"You are wrong. There is no close relationship between the hag and her daughter. In fact, Istna was very happy when she first learned about her mother's death."

"I guess this Miss Istna has been abused by her mother since she was a child." Ma Yun said.

The dream tapir nodded and continued: "The old witch Evanora is dead, so Istna can take possession of the nightmare colt and night neighing hound that her mother lent to her. This is the reason why she is happy."

"But Estna soon thought that her mother had a legacy that was more valuable than the Nightmare Colt and the Night Hound - two magic books and a pair of magical silver high heels!"

Ma Yun shuddered and couldn't help looking down at her feet.

Dream Tapir glanced at her thoughtfully, and then said: "Estna has reason to believe that the female mage who killed her mother, that is, you, Miss Dorothy Gale, must have seized the magic book. And magic shoes, and as the only heir of Evanora, she has the right to take back her mother's inheritance, so she rides on the nightmare horse and drives the night neighing hound to follow your travel route. "

"Oh! What bad luck! When my wooden house and I fell from the sky, it would have been great if Istna had been with her mother!" Ma Yun sighed with a bitter face.

"You have reached the key point, Miss Mage. In fact, Istna has caught up with you a long time ago. The reason why she has not dared to take action is mainly because she is worried that you will use the powerful spell of summoning meteorites... or wooden houses again to destroy her. Also smashed into meat patties.”

"Unfortunately, I don't have that much magic power."

"Of course I know this. What's more troublesome is that after a long period of secret observation, Istna has now figured out your details and is sure that it will not be difficult to defeat you."

Dream Tapir bluntly points out this fact.

"I admit that I am weak, so why doesn't the hag's daughter take action?" Ma Yun asked.

"This is because you still have a group of companions around you." Dream Tapir explained, "Estna doesn't look down on the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, but there will occasionally be two around you... Haha, a weirdo with unknown origins.”

"Estna found that these two weirdos would always appear from your side, travel with you for a while, and then suddenly disappear. This was so weird that she couldn't figure out what these two weirdos were. So I haven’t been able to muster the courage to attack you.”

"Ha! You're talking about Basaka and Musk. Of course I know their background, but I'd better keep this a secret!"

The mage lady winked slyly.

"Anyway, your tour group is already very close to the Emerald City. If Istna doesn't make up her mind and delays until you enter the Emerald City, she will have no chance at all."

Finally, Dream Tapir made a grim prediction:

"If nothing unexpected happens, before the sun goes down tomorrow, Istna will probably kill you. You'd better be careful."

Ma Yun shuddered again and asked Meng Mo nervously: "Is Esterna... very evil and cruel?"

She couldn't help but imagine herself falling into the hands of the witch's daughter and being tortured by her in various ways.

"Well..."

Meng Mo touched his long nose, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth.

"To be fair, Eastna is not as vicious as her mother Ivanora, but she inherited the blood of the Night Hag after all, and is definitely not a good person."

"Eastna is like a spoiled child, selfish and capricious, and she will get what she wants even if she has to do anything."

"Doing good or evil, Eastna is all up to her own pleasure. As for whether this is evil, you can judge for yourself."

Ma Yun nodded in shock, and then asked the Nightmare Tapir: "How strong is Eastna?"

"As a 'replacement child', that is, a half-blood hag, Eastna has an outstanding talent for spellcasting. She has become an 8th-level wizard at a young age, and she has two vicious servants around her, the Nightmare Horse and the Nighthound. If you and your companions meet Eastna and her group, it is best to run away quickly."

At this point, the Nightmare Tapir's figure quickly faded and gradually disappeared from Ma Yun's eyes, leaving only a wish.

"The night is about to end, and the road ahead is long. Miss Dorothy Gale, it's time to say goodbye. I hope you can reach the Emerald City safely."
