Foundation City, the top floor of Firmament Tower.
City Lord Monroe sent Sabelle, who was still in a daze, away. Then, with graceful steps, she knocked on the Door of the End again.
"Come in." A lazy voice came from behind the door, sounding as if it was filled with tiredness.
Lady Monroe pushed the door open and saw Freud, who was still working on some documents.
Freud put down the documents in his hand and looked at Monroe. "Look at you. Are you satisfied with Sabelle's answer?"
"He's decided to serve me after learning part of the 'truth'." Monroe smiled brightly. She was happy to have such a powerful knight as her subordinate.
"Didn't I already pledge my loyalty to you? Otherwise, why would I become your City Guard Captain?"
"It's different this time. Sabelle used the Knight's Soul as a gift and swore to become a Knight to protect Inception City," Monroe said proudly.
Freud nodded. Swearing with the soul of a knight was the most important thing a knight could do. Appointing Sabelle as the captain of the city guards was his job. Now that Sabelle had sworn to protect Foundation City, it was his duty to do so.
That was why Monroe was so happy about it.
"Looks like your job as the judge between Sabelle and Torras worked well," Freud said. "You look like you're in some kind of trouble." Freud joked before he asked about Monroe's purpose of coming here, "You look like you're having a problem."
At the mention of the purpose of her visit, Monroe's joyful expression began to fade. "It's about Constable Torras. Everyone knows what he's like. Now that he was defeated by Knight Sabelle in public, I'm worried that — "
"You're worried that the sheriff's position won't be decided?" Freud raised an eyebrow.
"Yes." Monroe nodded. Torras' personality was too strong. Many people believed that Sabelle must have messed up Torras' personality quite badly. "Everyone's worried that Torras will go into hiding for months like last time."
Last time, Torras didn't return to Foundation City because he was taken to the Abyss Plane and couldn't return to the dream wasteland. Freud knew that, but he didn't need to tell Monroe about it.
Freud chuckled. "Don't worry. You know too much about Torras. He's a thick-skinned man. He has a method called Spirit Victory. He'll heal himself in a few days. "
Mental victory? Monroe was a little confused.
Freud didn't bother explaining. "Torras likes to be in the limelight, but he's much calmer than you think. There are many things that he sees through but doesn't point it out. "
"Don't worry, he'll come running back in a few days."
Freud used to live in the Church of the Deceased, so he knew how boring the place was. Torras would probably get bored in a few days and beg Angor to take him back to the dream wasteland.
Although Monroe was still doubtful, she didn't dare to question Freud. She nodded and left.
Freud thought that Torras would only return to the dream wasteland after a few days, but on the same day, Torras returned to the dream wasteland as if nothing had happened.
Angor also came with Torras.
"Milord," Freud greeted him in a low voice.
"Have you thought it through outside? It's time for you to get back to work, "Angor said as he looked at Torras.
"Sabelle's dead anyway. He doesn't even have a soul. What's the big deal? Come fight me in real life if you can."
"Also, according to my age when I was alive, I'm much younger than him. He's already so old. I went easy on him during the competition and deliberately lost to him."
"Yes, that's right."
Torras' morale seemed to have been reinvigorated. He swaggered to the balcony and jumped down from the top of the Firmament Tower.
Freud didn't say anything since Angor was right beside him. Normally, he would've started yelling at Torras already. If Torras jumped down, he would definitely leave a huge hole in the ground, and he would have to trouble the construction team again. What a waste of manpower!
After Torras left, Freud asked in a low voice, "Sir, do you need something from me?"
Angor nodded. "Yes, I do."
"If everything goes well, I'll bring some people into the dream wasteland. They're my servants who watched me grow up, and they're very close to me. "
"Don't worry, sir. I'll arrange everything for them myself. I've already assigned them tasks, and I'll make sure they're accepted into the city as soon as possible." Freud nodded.
Freud took out several pieces of paper from his desk and handed them to Angor.
The tasks that these servants were going to do were written on the paper, and they weren't official tasks. Most of them were simple tasks that required a lot of interaction with the citizens, so they could quickly get to know each other and integrate into Foundation City.
Angor nodded in satisfaction. He trusted Freud's words.
This time, he was here to bring Torras in and talk to Freud about the servants. Angor planned to return to reality after telling Freud what he wanted. But before he left, he saw some documents on Freud's desk.
"Anomaly investigation report?" "I thought you were working on the second chapter of Observation of the Dream Wasteland? What's this?"
"It's related to the second chapter. It's an addendum to the authority of the dream wasteland." Freud explained, "Since Foundation City is on the right track now, and Monroe is in charge of the city's affairs, I'm not worried. So I'm looking for the authority that escaped from the wasteland. That's why I set up the Anomaly Department. "
Escaped authority … Angor quickly remembered that when he obtained the authority from the Nightmare Domain, he didn't absorb it into his body. Instead, he released it into the dream wasteland.
But until now, he still had no idea what kind of authority it was. So far, he hadn't seen anything strange. Of course, the authority didn't always produce strange phenomena. But since it was an authority, it had to be some kind of law.
And that was why Freud set up the Anomaly Department to look for such a law.
Angor checked the Anomaly Investigation Report and didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Most of the reports were rumors that the members of the Anomaly Department heard during their visits to the wasteland. Most of them were rumors made up by the citizens themselves, so Freud's comment at the bottom of each report was "rumor".
The only reason he didn't mention "rumor" was that the report hadn't been verified yet.
After reading the report, Angor didn't have much hope for the Anomaly Department.
Laws were like undercurrents hidden in the deep sea. Even if you went to the depths of the sea, you wouldn't be able to notice them. Plus, you might not even be able to reach the depths of the sea.
If Angor really wanted to find the authority, he would have to go to the Nightmare Domain to find the answer.
But since Freud was working for him, Angor didn't want to discourage him. He nodded and praised Freud.
After leaving Freud's office, Angor returned to reality. As soon as he opened his eyes, he sensed a strong energy fluctuation coming from afar.
He went to the balcony and looked outside.
A flying car made of black metal, pulled by three flamingos, flew over from the gloomy horizon.
The flamingos were bright red as if they were burning flames. The three flamingos flew across the sky in a stunning manner.
The aircar they were pulling looked like a pumpkin carriage in fairy tales. It was flat, with doors, windows, and many strange runes engraved on it.
At the center of the runes was a pattern: "Valley of Wind and Clouds".
Angor already knew who it was when he saw the pattern, or rather, the emblem.
The emblem belonged to the Valley of Storm, which was where Red Hair Thewis came from. It was obvious who the owner of the aircar was.
After a series of screeches, the flamingo made a big circle in the air and finally pulled the exquisite flying carriage to a stop on the cloud soil.
When the flying car landed on the cloud, Flamingo broke free from the reins and stood or lay down near the Demeter, looking very comfortable.
At this time, the door of the flying car was opened, and two tall men took the lead to walk out from inside.
It was Thewis with his flamboyant red hair and Sunders who was wearing a gentleman's suit.
When they landed on the ground, a strange force field surrounded by a geometric pattern floated out of the aircar.
Angor immediately recognized the energy field created by the geometric pattern. It was his Geometric Lock.
Now that the Geometric Lock was unlocked, there was no doubt that the person inside was the mastermind Sunders wanted to capture — Roland.
