While everyone was listening to the conversation between Tree Spirit and Leona, Rein suddenly looked at the city wall in the distance.
Wallace was also curious about the city in the distance. He followed Rhine's gaze and looked in that direction. When he looked, he was stunned. "It seems like something is flying over?"
Wallace's words made everyone stop talking.
They saw a steam-powered airship floating above the city. The airship flew past the outer wall of the city and slowly headed outside.
The airship seemed to have a fixed route. It only cast a shadow when it flew over their heads. Instead of stopping, the airship continued to rumble and fly away.
However, although the airship did not stop, two figures jumped down from the airship.
The two figures fell from the sky at an extremely fast speed. Just as they were about to hit the ground, a hurricane appeared from the ground and lifted them up. The wind gradually weakened and finally disappeared, and the two of them stood steadily in front of them.
It was Angor and Sunders who descended from the sky.
Everyone was surprised to see them, but at the same time, they thought it was reasonable. If Angor said he wanted to send them a message, he must have a way to do so. They thought the monocle was some kind of communicator, and Angor was using it to send a message to them. But now, they realized that they were wrong. Angor was standing right in front of them.
"Finally, you're here." Wallace was the first to speak. He had so many questions to ask, but when it was time to ask, he didn't know where to start.
Angor bowed to the group. "Sorry for the delay. Sorry for the delay."
"No need for that. I'm more interested in knowing if you're going to give us a surprise or a scare," Leona said.
Thanks to Iron Granny's words, everyone calmed down and focused their attention on Angor instead of asking questions right away.
Angor winked at Leona. "I don't know if it's a surprise or a scare for others, but I'm sure it's for you."
Angor then looked at Tree Spirit. "And for Mister Tree Spirit as well."
Considering the conversation between Tree Spirit and Leona, they all knew what Angor meant.
Tree Spirit's eyes lit up. "So this is what you meant?"
"Yes." Angor didn't try to hide it.
Tree Spirit wasn't sure before, but now that Angor confirmed it, he felt much better. However, Tree Spirit didn't let himself get carried away. He still needed to know if Angor was telling the truth.
"You're going to hold a tea party here?"
"Yes, that's what I'm planning to do. But I'll tell you the details later. "
"I know you have a lot of questions. Why don't we go into the city first?"
No one objected. Following Angor's lead, they all headed toward Foundation City.
Angor's explanation allowed them to learn more about the city. However, the more they understood the situation, the more questions they had.
"Are we really in the Dream Realm? Why does it feel so real? "
"It's not completely in the Dream Realm, but in the middle of the Dream Realm and the real world. As for how real this place is … It's because your first impression of this place is that you think it's real. But if you treat this place as real, you'll find that it's only relative. "
"You're saying that everything here is fake?"
"That depends on your perspective. For the people who live here, everything is real. But for us, we have to look at it from a different perspective. Truth and falsehood only exist in our hearts."
"The people of Foundation City all look like mortals. Where did they come from?"
"They're all dead in the real world. What's left here are only their consciousnesses. By the way, have you heard of immortality? They don't have souls, but they still have complete memories. That's another form of rebirth. "
Leona had been having similar conversations ever since she stepped into Foundation City. Angor tried his best to answer her questions, but Leona was getting more and more confused. She even began to doubt her own understanding.
She couldn't imagine how a consciousness could live in this place. How did it become a resident of the Dream Realm?
She also couldn't understand what Angor meant by "truth and falsehood".
She felt like she understood Angor's words, but she couldn't see the truth behind it no matter how hard she tried.
However, not everyone was as confused as Leona. More or less, they sensed something.
"Laws. The laws here are similar to the real world, but they don't quite fit." Wallace looked at Angor. "The laws of every world are similar, but they're never the same. The laws of this world are too similar to the real world. Even the mana is the same. Is it because the world's consciousness is imitating the real world? But the consciousness of a world doesn't have a mind of its own, so there's only one possibility. The ruler of this world is actively trying to make the laws of this world resemble the real world. "
"You're the one who made the laws of this world?"
Angor glanced at Wallace in surprise. Due to Sunders' influence, he had some misconceptions about Wallace. But now, this misconception had been corrected. Wallace had become the leader of the academies in Brute Cavern because he was talented in detailed observation and analysis. He was able to see the bigger picture with just a little observation.
Wallace pointed out the most important thing about the dream wasteland — power.
Angor was planning to leave the topic for later, but since Wallace already brought it up, he decided to go with the flow.
"I can't say that I'm the one who made all the laws. I only know a small part of them. But I'm the one who created the dream wasteland. "
Angor's words struck everyone like a bolt of lightning, which left everyone dumbfounded.
The creator of this world?!
This world wasn't perfect, but no one expected someone to be able to create a new world. Even Iron Granny, who was always calm and collected, was looking at Angor in disbelief.
"I think you've misunderstood. This isn't a real world. It's just a demiplane."
Angor briefly explained how the dream wasteland came to be. He didn't mention the Dream Whelk, Nightmare Host, or Shava. He only said that it was Freud's idea, plus a little bit of luck, and the benefits of being a Nightmare Form.
However, everyone was still confused by Angor's explanation.
Even if it was just a demiplane, as long as they were still in the southern wizarding region, they could be pulled into this world through the registration device. They all knew what this meant.
