"Praise the moonlight. Praise the Queen. Praise Shava." Nuka, the Minister of Agriculture, spoke first, "Today's banquet will welcome Lady Shava's night patrol. It's also a test for the Land of Xinnai."
Nuka's voice was sharp and the end of his voice was long and thin. The vibration caused by the sound waves caused all the candlesticks in the hall to become a little smaller. Fortunately, the candlesticks were constantly replenishing the oil and controlling the flame to explode. That was how they managed to maintain a certain level of brightness. Even so, the light in the hall flickered along with Nuka's voice.
This was because Nuka didn't hold back his energy.
The other guests seemed used to it and didn't seem surprised. Angor didn't point it out either. He kept feeding the puppy and didn't seem to care about what Nuka said.
Of course, it was just a facade.
As a matter of fact, Angor was paying close attention to every word Nuka said and quickly analyzed the possible meanings behind them.
He was especially interested in the so-called "Land of Xinnai". He had a feeling that this was the reason why these nightmare creatures decided to stay in this ruin.
"It's rare to have Lady Shava to attend this banquet. Why don't you all tell me about your progress and let Lady Shava see the results of your outpost construction?"
Angor glanced at the guests but didn't say anything. Inside, however, he felt a little excited.
He wanted to know more about the ruin, but Nuka already gave him the chance to talk.
The nightmare creatures here were all leaders of their respective territories. For example, Mi Jin Niang was the owner of the Flower Spirit Garden. If one wanted to know the general situation of the Flower Spirit Garden, Mi Jin Niang would definitely know the inside story. It was the same for the other territories. The words of the leaders of the other territories were almost final, which would help Angor a lot in understanding the ruin.
Angor didn't seem to care, but he was already looking forward to what they had to say.
Nuka first looked at the people around him. The white maid and Myrtle were sitting beside him. Nuka considered and looked at Myrtle, who was hiding in the darkness. "Since this is the spirit garden, Myrtle, you can start first."
His voice fell, but there was no response for a long time.
When Angor thought that Mystic Lady had lost consciousness, she finally spoke in a hesitant tone, "I … Everyone knows how I'm doing. Let Madman do the talking. "
Myrtle's excuse did not surprise Nuka. He twirled the long beard on his cheek. "I thought you would perform better in front of Her Excellency Shava, whom you admire the most."
Mi Jin Niang: "I …"
For a long time, Mi Jin Niang didn't finish her words. Nuka waved his hand and said, "Forget it. We'll do as you said and let Madman take the credit for you."
After the banquet began, the Book of Madness had already retreated to the display table at the back and pretended to be an inconspicuous book. Now it had no choice but to float in the air again and flutter its pages onto the table.
"Mister Shava, please forgive Myrtle. It's not that she doesn't want to talk to you. She's just a little shy."
Angor nodded while petting the dog. "I know."
Angor only said that he understood. He didn't say whether he would forgive Mystic Lady or not.
Seeing that Angor didn't say anything else, Mad Man glanced at the darkness around the Mystic Lady and saw it ripple for a second.
Madman sighed. It seemed that Shava really didn't like Mystic Lady's attitude.
Since Madman didn't want to explain further, he looked away and reported the recent progress of the spirit garden as requested by Nuka.
"The garden has reached a quarter of the original area. Based on our progress, we only need 153 more moonlight encounters to connect with the source."
Before the Mad Scientist could finish, he heard a sharp, mocking laugh. It came from the Black Maid.
"The Lost Nether Forest and the Demon Flower Sea occupy half of the Flower Spirit Garden. This time, I came to see it with my own eyes. The Lost Nether Forest and the Demon Flower Sea have not been built yet. How can they be connected to the source after 153 moonlight meetings?"
Madman didn't panic. "Black Maid, you don't know. You can't descend to these two places."
The black maid asked, "Why can't it descend?"
"Madman is right about this." Madman didn't answer Madman's question. Instead, it was the white maid sitting across from Mystic Lady who explained, "The Lost Forest and Devil Flowers aren't included."
The black maid probably wouldn't believe the words of other guests, but she didn't mind the white maid's words. However, she still did not understand. "Why can't I descend to these two places?"
"Xinnai's arrival was approved by the queen. But as you know, it's only a verbal agreement, so we can't force her to descend. The masters of the Nether Forest and the Demon Flower Sea do not wish to descend upon human territory. Therefore, the Flower Spirit Garden this time does not include the Nether Forest and the Demon Flower Sea. "
The black maid didn't know about this. After listening to the white maid's explanation, she knew that she had wronged the Mad Scientist. But she wasn't going to admit her mistake. She had a much higher status than Madman, so there was no reason for her to do so.
Of course, Madman didn't know that the black maid was going to admit her mistake. He sighed in relief and continued, "Also, about the spirit garden …"
What Madman said next was mostly about the mushrooms in the spirit garden. Angor didn't get any useful information since he already saw them. However, he did get some important information from the conversation between Madman and Black Maid.
First, Xinnai's arrival was approved by the queen. Second, the spirit garden hadn't reached its limit yet. According to Madman, the garden was only a quarter complete. Third, Angor could vaguely tell that the spirit garden's main body was in the Nightmare Realm, and the expansion of the spirit garden was a process of connecting with the main body. Did this mean "descending"?
Angor suddenly had a strange feeling. Could the so-called "descending" be a projection of a certain area in the Nightmare Realm?
But what was the difference between this and the dome of Sleepless City? In Angor's opinion, there was no difference between the two. If the "descending" was what Madman thought it was, it would be unnecessary.
Or was there something he didn't know?
