When Freud opened the door, the first thing he saw was the mayor, Monroe.
Monroe was obviously not in her usual state. She looked anxious, as if she had something to say. However, it took her a lot of effort to run from the bottom to the top of the Firmament Tower. Even though she kept patting her chest, her words were still intermittent. "Master Dissen, bad news. Outside, outside … outside … outside … something happened!"
The more anxious she was, the harder it was for her to finish her sentence.
But when Monroe mentioned "outside", Freud realized that she was probably surprised by the change in the weather.
"Of course I know. What's there to be surprised about? Haven't you seen a sunny day before?" Freud scolded.
Monroe hurriedly shook her head and calmed down a lot. "It's not like that. The weather outside isn't sunny. It's very strange. And someone's gone missing."
Freud was stunned.
Why would 'strange weather' and 'someone's gone missing' be put together? What's the logic behind it?
"Don't tell me it was a lightning strike that killed someone?" Freud walked back to the balcony. Just as he was about to go out, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and landed right in front of him.
Freud, who was mumbling something, froze when he saw the big hole in the ground and the charred ground.
Did he jinx it?
Could it be that the heavens had really sent down lightning punishment and struck him into pieces?
But that wasn't the case. The person was indeed gone, but not because of the lightning strike. Instead, the wind blew them away.
Freud stood at the top of Sky Tower and looked around the city. There was only one word he could use to describe the current situation: a complete mess.
Now he finally understood why Monroe had said that the weather outside was very strange.
It was sunny in the east and raining in the west. There was thunder here and wind there. The only thing missing was snow and frost. How could it not be strange?
The Firmament Tower was the center of First Heart City. Drawing a line with this location was like drawing a line between the sun and the moon. On one side of the line was the dark clouds and strong winds, while on the other side was the Hallucinatory Sky where the sun was blazing and lightning bolts were dancing.
"What the hell is going on? Freud stared blankly at the scene before him. His voice was slow and sluggish as if he was sleep-talking.
"Not long ago, a rainbow streaked across the sky, and then everyone noticed that the cloudy sky had cleared up. At that time, everyone was very excited. Almost everyone in the city ran to the streets to celebrate. At that time, I was also very surprised. I was worried that the sunny weather was just a small probability event that might not happen again in the future, so I didn't ask the city guards to stop the revelers. "
When Monroe said this, she blamed herself. "In the end, something happened. The weather suddenly became chaotic and became like this. Because the change came too suddenly, many people didn't have time to avoid it. There were even people who were blown away by the wind and disappeared. "
This was the first major event that Monroe encountered after becoming the City Lord. Although it was a natural disaster, it was still a mass carnival after all. She did not handle it properly, resulting in such a consequence, which made her feel both guilty and depressed.
"You don't have to blame yourself. The strange changes in the weather have nothing to do with you. "
A deep and pleasant voice reached Monroe's ears. She turned around and saw the owner of the voice was the legendary "master of the new world".
Monroe also noticed Angor and Sunders when she came in. However, she did not greet them immediately because of what happened outside.
She was about to bow when Angor stopped her. "Who was blown away? How are the others? "
Monroe didn't dare delay and immediately replied, "The others have all returned to the building with the help of the city defense team. The one who was blown away by the wind was a child named Rado. Sheriff Torras and Knight Saber have been searching the entire area, but they haven't found any traces yet."
Rado? Him?
Angor was surprised to hear the name.
Rab and Rado were a pair of brothers. Rab was the older brother, while Rado was the younger one. According to Freud, Rab was very close to Sunny, and Rado was Alda's first friend in the dream wasteland, so it was natural that they were very close as well.
Angor also saw the two brothers at the Ocean Theater when he went looking for Jon.
Since he already knew Rado's face, Angor used his Omniscient View to check the surroundings of Foundation City.
Very quickly, the search of Origin City ended, but Rado was not found. Angor looked outside the city and finally found Rado curled up on the ground about one kilometer away from the city.
However, Rado seemed to have fainted and was not moving at all.
"Got him." Angor's voice attracted everyone's attention. "He's outside the city. I think he passed out."
Monroe did not know how Angor found Rado, but she knew that as the "master of the new world", Angor must have supernatural powers. "I'll notify the sheriff and have him go get him."
The area outside Foundation City was a restricted area, and Torras was the only one allowed to go out. Therefore, Monroe's first thought was Torras.
Angor shook his head. "No need. I've already brought him here. Tell his brother, Rab, and he'll come get him."
Monroe didn't know how Angor was going to bring Rado here. Still, she walked to the door and asked one of her men to inform Rab of the news.
When Monroe returned to the balcony, she found a gust of wind blowing in her face. Monroe was wearing a skirt today, and the wind came at an untimely time, causing her skirt to sway. In order not to expose herself, Monroe had no choice but to press down on her skirt with both hands, gnashing her teeth and waiting for the wind to stop.
When the wind finally stopped, Monroe tried to tidy up her messy hair. But before she could do anything, she froze on the spot.
Not far away, a child wearing a red tie was carried by the wind and landed on the balcony.
Monroe didn't care about her image anymore. She quickly walked forward and looked down. It was Rado, who had been blown away by the wind.
The wind carried Rado away, and then it carried him back.
Monroe glanced at Angor again. Was this what he meant by "bringing him here"? Did he use the power to control the wind?
While Monroe wondered, Freud had already checked Rado's condition.
The dream wasteland was an extension of the Dream Realm. Since the residents of this wasteland did not have physical bodies, they rarely got hurt. However, once he was injured, the foundation of his Spiritual Light would be damaged.
Angor decided to bring Rado to Firmament Tower so that Freud could check his condition.
Freud checked Rado carefully and said, "He's not hurt. Maybe he just fainted."
Monroe sighed in relief when she was sure that Rado was only frightened. However, although Rado's matter had been resolved, what should they do about this violent weather?
"Sir, is there something wrong with the weather?" Freud asked. "What's wrong with the weather? Why is the weather so messed up?"
Angor used the Tree of Authority to check the weather and did not find anything out of the ordinary.
However, the chaotic scene in front of him was solid evidence.
Angor frowned. He already had an idea. If the dream wasteland was treated as a mischievous child who wanted to experiment with all kinds of climates after obtaining the authority of Weather Shift, then the experiment would definitely require witnesses. The other places were all vast wastelands, and only the First Heart City was inhabited. Was that why this scene happened?
Angor did not think it was a good idea, but he had no idea what was going on.
Still, it did not matter to him whether he knew the reason or not. He only needed to solve the problem.
"I think this weather is caused by the heavy fog, which caused the weather to be a bit messy. It won't last long. It'll clear up soon, "said Angor.
As soon as she finished speaking, Monroe discovered that the chaotic weather in the sky was slowly disappearing. The dark clouds dispersed, revealing a clear blue sky.
Foundation City, which had been troubled by the strange weather for a long time, finally returned to normal.
"See? It's clear up now."
Monroe knew very well that things weren't that simple. It must have been the lord in front of her who had done something to change the weather.
Monroe hesitated for a moment. "Will the weather only clear up for a short while? Will it go back to normal in the future? "
"The weather itself is unpredictable. How am I supposed to know what it's going to be like? Since the weather is clear now, why don't you go and comfort the people? I don't think such weather will happen again in the future. "
The storm caused by the change of weather had finally calmed down.
Rab, Rado's brother, also came to find him. When he saw Rado lying on the ground, Rab panicked a little.
"Don't worry. Your brother just fainted. He's fine. You can take him back first." Freud smiled at Rab, who seemed to be quite familiar with him.
Rab sighed in relief. He nodded at Freud and picked up Rado. Then he prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Angor suddenly called out.
Angor stepped forward and observed Rab carefully. He seemed to have noticed something.
A moment later, Angor waved a hand. "Alright, you can go now."
Angor's behavior was strange, but Rab knew who Angor was, so he did not dare to complain. He bowed to Angor and left with Rado.
