Both Leona and Rein noticed Tree Spirit's reluctance. However, after careful consideration, they still chose to create a space inside the Tree of Eternity because they could not find a better place to do so.
As Tree Spirit said, they could find a spacious ruin outside the Tree of Eternity. However, they would not be able to control the flow of information. Besides, every tea party would be filled with all kinds of arguments. Tree Spirit's territory would allow him to control the public's opinions as soon as possible.
This time, Rhine's explanation was very thorough. Although Tree Spirit still wanted to argue, he couldn't find anything to refute.
Unless he could find a place that could display Brute Cavern's prestige, control the flow of information, and accommodate a large number of people.
Tree Spirit gave it some thought and realized that he could not find a suitable place near Parmigi Highlands.
If there was, he would have gone there already.
Tree Spirit's shoulders drooped. It seemed he had no choice.
Rein spoke up as well, "The tea party will only last for half a month. It'll be over soon."
Tree Spirit did not answer. He only sighed deeply.
Because of this helpless sigh, the air in the study room seemed to become a little stuffy for a moment.
Angor noticed that Sunders, who had been controlling the demon falcon with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. He seemed to be thinking about something, and there was a glimmer in his eyes.
Sunders looked up and glanced at Angor.
It looked like a casual exchange of glances, but Angor could tell that Sunders' eyes were full of unanswered questions.
"Is he trying to tell me something?" Angor was puzzled. He did see Sunders' eyes, but he did not know what he meant.
He looked up again and saw that Sunders was no longer looking at him. Instead, he was looking at Tree Spirit, who was still sighing helplessly. Sunders' eyes were calm, but there seemed to be some kind of power brewing in them.
Angor looked at Tree Spirit as well. He recalled Sunders' eyes and looked at the depressed Tree Spirit and realized something.
Sunders did not use any spells. He only gave Tree Spirit a hint with his calm eyes, which meant only the two of them knew about the plan, and they were the only ones who could carry it out.
And related to Tree Spirit's current emotions was the matter of the venue.
Angor quickly realized that Sunders was referring to the dream wasteland. Was he referring to the dream wasteland?
Was Sunders hinting that he could make a fuss about the venue of the tea party? As for how to make a fuss about it, it was naturally to open up the Dream Wilderness.
Angor told Sunders that the dream wasteland had to be opened to the public. Once the dream wasteland was fully under his control, he would be able to reap great benefits.
But how, to what extent, and when it would be opened was still an undetermined answer.
It was only said that once the Dream Wilderness could be brought into reality, it would be opened on a small scale.
Now that Sunders had obtained the power of energy selection, the dream wasteland was already filled with virtual mana. It wouldn't be long before he could use the power of reality. At this time, it was naturally the time for small-scale opening.
So, Sunders wanted to use the tea party as an excuse to open up the market on a small scale?
Well, it wasn't a bad idea.
First of all, apart from information exchange and competition, the most important things that witches cared about in a tea party were privacy, venue, grandeur, things that could shock them, and most importantly, "tea".
The Dream Wasteland was perfect for all of these conditions. In fact, since the Dream Wasteland didn't consume any materials from the real world, even the most precious utensils, magical food, and snacks could be placed on the table without a care. The Dream Wasteland was absolutely stunning.
But Angor still had some concerns. He planned to test the wasteland internally first before opening it up to the public. Now that Sunders was hinting to open it up to witches during the tea party, it meant that the dream wasteland would be exposed under the sun. Wasn't this a bit too much?
Angor couldn't help but look at Sunders again. However, Sunders only gave him a "talk in private" gesture. Clearly, Sunders still had other plans.
Maybe he had other plans.
Angor nodded and decided to wait until the stargazing day was over before telling Sunders the details.
Tree Spirit, on the other hand, didn't notice their little exchange because he was too absorbed in his own thoughts. Rein, on the other hand, saw everything with his spirit feelers.
Still, Rein didn't know what they were doing. If Sunders used spells, he might be able to eavesdrop. But they were just exchanging glances, which didn't seem to have any practical meaning. Rein couldn't tell what they were talking about.
Of course, as a Silencer, Rein had the ability to listen to people's minds. However, this "mind reading" spell was very obvious. Angor might not be able to notice it, but Sunders would. If Sunders caught him, it would be obvious that he was eavesdropping. So, Rein didn't bother to listen to their minds. He simply watched them quietly.
When they stopped exchanging glances, Rein spoke to Sunders in a neutral tone, "You two are quite good at reading each other's minds."
Angor knew that Rein must have noticed their secret conversation. He didn't know how to respond, so he pretended not to understand.
Sunders didn't say anything either. He only smiled.
Rein knew that they didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask any further and left them alone.
…
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
He used his spirit feelers to scan the ruin several times and found nothing. This was within his expectations. He already used all the means he could think of, and if he couldn't find anything, he wouldn't be able to do it again.
When he retracted his spirit feelers, Sunders' demon falcon flew in from outside the door.
"The falcon checked every area, including the ceiling and the walls. Nothing." Sunders gave the same conclusion.
Now, their only hope was Rein.
They hoped that a level-3 spell like "Truth Eye" could help them find the truth in the past.
As everyone waited in anticipation, Truth Eye, which had been wandering outside for a long time, finally returned to Rein's forehead. At the same time, Rein opened his eyes.
He didn't speak right away. Instead, he pondered for a moment as if he was sorting out his thoughts.
After a while, he cleared his throat and said, "I used Truth Eye to search the entire ruin. Apart from Angor, I didn't find anyone else who came here after the ruin was sealed."
