After giving the cards to Shirley, Angor kept his promise. Leaving Shirley alone in the hall, Angor returned to his study.
The next day, Toby rested for a night and entered the Room of Heart for another experiment. However, after his previous success, the Room of Heart wasn't really a challenge. It was more of a chance for him to perfect the details and gain more experience.
Although Shirley had spent the entire night studying the "Grotesque Poker Cards", which was a name she had given herself, she wasn't too tired. She was still very excited, and it wasn't a problem for her to continue controlling the magic array.
The upcoming challenge was just a warm-up for Toby, so both Angor and Greya stopped what they were doing and stayed by Toby's side. While Greya stayed in the real world, Angor went to the dream wasteland to keep an eye on Toby's condition.
On the first day, Angor used the chance to observe the entire dream wasteland from a bird's eye view. This was the most important part of the new city's plan — choosing a suitable location.
In the real world, Angor would have to pay attention to many things, such as factors of war, environmental impact, water supply, fertile soil, hidden natural disasters, and so on. But in the dream wasteland, he didn't need to worry about these things. First, he had to stay away from Foundation City.
Foundation City was a city of Dream Realm residents. More than 99% of the residents had become natives of the Dream Realm. Even in the Dream Realm, they were the weakest natives with no power.
In other words, the residents of Foundation City were all mortals.
Angor's new city was meant to accommodate supernatural beings in the future. It was difficult for supernatural beings to withstand such tests. In order to prevent the mortals from getting hurt, Angor planned to keep the new city away from Foundation City.
When the dream wasteland was fully developed, the rules would be more perfect, and the natives and outsiders would be able to reach a certain balance. By then, it wouldn't matter if the new city and Foundation City tried to build teleportation portals. But in the early stages, Angor would try his best to avoid them.
Apart from being far away from Foundation City, the new city also needed to stay away from places with strong nightmare aura.
The dream wasteland was an extension of the Dream Realm, but it was also a special nightmare domain.
It was located in the middle of the Nightmare Realm, Dream Realm, and the real world.
This was why he was able to sever the connection between the dream wasteland and the Nightmare Domain.
However, the Nightmare Domain was too large for him to fully assimilate the main body of the domain. He had to slowly erode the dream wasteland by reducing the domain's power. Since he didn't have the main nightmare domain, he could only borrow the nightmare aura from the dream wasteland.
To avoid being affected by the nightmare aura, the second requirement was to find a place where the nightmare aura was weak.
With these two conditions in mind, he used God's Eye to search for a suitable location in the dream wasteland.
The final result was satisfactory, and he confirmed the location of the new city. Without teleportation, it would take at least half a month to fly from the new city to Foundation City, and this was under the premise that they would not get lost. Based on the current situation, this distance should be enough.
Night came, and Angor's first day with Toby came to an end. He found the location of the new city, and Toby entered the House of Heart eight times.
Toby defeated Malevolent Will three times and lost five times. There were still some minor details that Toby didn't handle properly. However, compared to yesterday's "lucky" victory, these three victories showed that Toby was starting to overcome Malevolent Will.
On the second day in the dream wasteland, Toby walked into the House of Heart confidently under the bright light of the morning sun.
Angor didn't have much to do today. He stayed at the top of Heaven's Tower to accompany Toby, and he also talked with Freud about his research in the dream wasteland.
In the afternoon, Angor chatted with Jon about the latest developments. Chown had been living a comfortable life recently. Not only did he get over his addiction of being a teacher, but he also took the time to design the blueprint of the new city. Occasionally, he would organize books and exchange knowledge with some scholars, from mythology, history, culture, and language. His life was tight and fulfilling.
Jon had moved back to Padt Manor in First Heart City and lived with Head Maid Mana and Maid Ollie. He felt a sense of familiarity with the place.
Apart from that, Jon also had a lot of time to study the strange items Angor brought him.
For example, there were books and journals about the wizarding world, as well as some mystical items.
Jon would occasionally comment on Angor's alchemy creations, but he wasn't interested in them. Instead, he showed great interest in some of the alchemy potions Angor brought in.
He even asked Angor to bring some special experiment tools to analyze the potions.
Jon didn't tell Angor whether he found anything. But judging from Jon's mysterious smile, Angor guessed that he did find something useful. Or maybe he was just trying to be mysterious. After all, Jon used to tease Angor like this when he was little.
Regardless of what Jon's research was, Angor was glad to hear it from Jon now. The joy on Jon's face was very real. For a moment, Angor felt as if he had returned to the time when Jon was still in good health.
On this day, night slowly arrived while they were talking.
Angor didn't gain much from the trip, but seeing Jon's energetic self made him feel better.
As for Toby, he went in and out of the Room of Heart eight times. The result was better than yesterday, which was four wins and four losses.
The third day came.
In the morning, Angor planned to talk to Freud about the Sinful Fiend's experiment. However, when he entered the dream wasteland, he didn't sense Freud's presence. It seemed he had returned to the real world.
Angor decided to use God's Eye to observe the Sinful Fiend's lab. After observing for a while, he relaxed a bit. Even without Freud's help, the researchers in the lab were still doing their jobs in a professional manner.
After making sure they didn't make any mistakes, Angor shifted his attention to Rab.
Rab was the only person in the dream wasteland who was qualified to inherit the Sinful Mist's power. Angor didn't have the time to observe Rab in the past. Now that he had some free time, he wanted to see how Rab was doing.
