"Was it like this when it first came in?" Angor asked.
Rhine stared at the orb with a frown. "No. It wasn't floating in the air at first. When the weather changed and day and night were reversed, it began to glow and hover in the air. "
This was definitely not normal.
Angor had used the Dream Whelk more than once.
Every time the whelk brought something into the dream wasteland, it would maintain the same physical state as it did in the real world. As long as he didn't disturb it, it would stay that way forever.
However, the orb that represented Tidal Garden had broken the rule.
Without being touched or activated by anyone, the orb floated in the air on its own and began to emit a watery light. At the same time, the weather was also changing drastically.
It was obvious that these two things were related.
Based on what they knew about the Dream Whelk, the dream wasteland, and the Sorcerer's Garden, there was only one explanation for this phenomenon.
"So the law of water in Tidal Garden was really brought to the dream wasteland. The Dream Whelk of Moonlight Coast … Looks like we underestimated this Mystery item, "Rhine muttered.
Angor agreed with Rhine. This phenomenon could only be caused by the interaction between the laws of reality and illusion.
However, no one could tell whether this was a good or bad thing.
Angor wanted to fly a bit further to get a closer look, but before he could, Rhine pulled him back.
"I think the illusion law in the dream wasteland is fighting against the law of reality in Tidal Garden," Rhine said. I can't tell if it's good or bad, but at least it's not going to get worse. However, if you get involved, you might cause trouble. "
Rhine's words made it clear that the consciousness of the dream wasteland was controlling the law of reality to fight against the law of reality.
As the actual controller of the dream wasteland, Angor's authority would exceed the will of the dream wasteland, and he might have to take over the fight against the law of reality.
Given Angor's current situation, there was a high chance that he would fail if he tried to fight the law of reality.
In order to avoid such a situation, the best way was to not interfere and let the dream wasteland handle it on its own.
With that in mind, Angor returned to Rein's side and stared at the flickering light in the darkness, waiting for the final outcome of the battle to come.
Time slowly passed.
He couldn't tell what was going on yet, but he could tell that the dream wasteland was getting better. The dark clouds had shrunk even further. The sky above Foundation City was now clear.
This meant that everything was progressing well.
He told Rein about what he saw, and Rein sighed in relief.
After making sure everything was fine, he finally relaxed and had the mood to talk again.
"I didn't know that the Dream Whelk could pull both real and intangible laws into a dream." Angor sighed in amazement.
Rein shook his head. "That's not the same. The Tidal Garden and the law of water are one. Or rather, the Tidal Garden is a manifestation of the law of water. That glass orb can even be seen as a physical manifestation of a law.
"That's why the Dream Whelk was able to pull it in."
Without a physical manifestation, the Dream Whelk can't pull in a real law. "
Rein wasn't saying this for no reason. There were all kinds of laws in the real world. Just like air, one could always breathe in them without noticing them. The same was true for laws.
When Angor used the Dream Whelk in the past, he would cover a space in the real world, which might contain a large number of laws, such as elemental laws and space laws. However, these laws were never pulled into the dream wasteland before, which meant the Dream Whelk couldn't pull in energy objects or objects that couldn't be seen in the material world.
Now, the laws in the Tidal Wave Garden could be pulled into the dream purely because the laws had fused with the carrier and materialized.
Once they did, they would comply with the Dream Whelk's rules.
"However, even with such a restriction, it's still very surprising. As expected of a Mystery item. As long as the Mystery rules are met, it can even move a law. " Rein shook his head and sighed. "I really want to know what happened to the laws in the Tidal Garden in the real world."
If the foundation of the laws in the Tidal Garden in the real world was fine, it meant the Dream Whelk didn't just move the laws. It even copied them.
That was even more shocking.
"We'll see when we get out," said Angor. Angor asked. He was also curious about what was happening inside the glass orb he placed in his exile space.
As they spoke, a bright beam of light suddenly pierced through the dark clouds and shone down.
Both Rein and Rein looked up at the same time.
The dark clouds that covered the sky and turned day into night were now much thinner than before. There were even some cracks in them. The existence of these gaps allowed the light source above the black clouds to find an opportunity to shine mottled light onto the land that was shrouded in darkness.
At first, there was only one light beam. But as the cracks grew bigger and bigger, the number of light beams increased as well.
The howling wind and dancing lightning bolts began to fade away.
The silent land and the heavy air began to slow down.
All of this meant that the darkness was fading away, and dawn was coming.
When the light shone on them and outlined their warm golden silhouettes, it meant that the dawn they were waiting for was not far away.
About five minutes later, the dark clouds completely disappeared, and the sky was replaced by a clear blue sky.
It was a bright day, and the sun was shining brightly.
Angor let out a long sigh of relief when he felt the gentle sunlight. Only after experiencing the roaring darkness could he understand how lovely it was.
Even the newly grown grass was full of vigor.
Angor took a deep breath.
He even felt that the air was fresher than before.
"Wait, it's really fresher!" Angor was a little surprised. The moist air was completely different from before.
Did the air in the dream wasteland change as well? With that in mind, Angor focused his mind on the Tree of Authority.
A moment later, he pulled his mind back to reality.
The Tree of Authority didn't seem to have changed at all. But when he looked at the tree again, Angor felt that the tree seemed to be more nourished.
"Maybe it's just my imagination?" Angor shook his head.
What was more important now was the situation of the Glass Orb after the clouds had dispersed?
…
The glass orb was no longer floating in the air.
When the sunlight shone on it, it fell from the sky and landed on the ground.
The grass was still flourishing, and the tiny glass orb was nowhere to be seen. Angor didn't use God's Eye to look for it though. He saw Rein walking a dozen meters away from the orb and stopping.
Angor walked over and looked down as well.
An ordinary-looking glass bead was quietly staying in the dense grass.
Rein picked it up and rolled it on his palm. When the sunlight shone through the orb, it left behind a rainbow-colored halo.
"It doesn't look damaged," Angor commented.
Rein nodded. "Everything's fine from the outside. The energy ripples are gone, but I can feel the energy converging inside the glass orb when it's on my palm. We need to activate it to see what's going on in Tidal Garden. "
"Let's go inside then."
Since they already brought Tidal Garden into the dream wasteland, they needed to see what was going on inside. Was the foundation of the Laws damaged? What happened after it was combined with the law of illusion? He needed to see it with his own eyes.
Rein nodded. He controlled the limited amount of virtual mana in his mind space and slowly injected it into the orb.
As the orb was activated, it began to emit a faint blue light and a large amount of mist.
"It's the same way as in the real world. So there shouldn't be any problems," Angor muttered as he allowed the mist to cover him.
Rein didn't say anything, but he agreed with Angor. The space inside the orb should be fine. The most important thing now was to see if the law of water was affected.
The mist disappeared as quickly as it came.
When the mist disappeared, Angor and Rein were once again standing in front of the wizard tower.
Before Angor could see with his eyes, he already sensed something strange with his ears.
There was the sound of the wind, the rustling of the leaves, and the rumbling of the sea.
What he heard alone was enough to make him feel puzzled.
Leaves? Wasn't the tree beside the Sorcerer Tower already withered? Where did the leaves come from?
The sound of the sea? Didn't the sea in Tidal Garden turn into a mulberry field because of the law of water? Where did the water come from?
Angor looked around in confusion.
The first thing that came into view was the Adept Tower, which seemed to have been washed with water. It was damp and moist.
The small garden beside the tower was filled with blooming flowers and tall trees.
Through the small garden, Angor could see nothing but the boundless sea. Waves were constantly crashing against the shore, bringing white foam into the air.
"The withered tree came back to life? The sea is here again? " Angor looked around in confusion. They weren't standing on a cliff. Instead, they were standing on an island in the middle of the sea.
The only green land in the middle of the blue sea.
"What's going on?" Angor couldn't help but look at Rein.
However, he noticed that Rhine was also staring at the top of the Magus Tower in a daze.
Angor followed Rein's gaze and saw a room at the top of the tower. The doors and windows were all closed, but Angor could clearly sense a large number of water veins spreading out from the room.
These water veins were connected to the sea, the sky, and the tower.
"That's …"
Rhine exhaled and said, "The reason why the Magus Tower was built here is because the law foundation of Tidal Garden is in the room at the top of the Magus Tower."
"It's just that when you came in from the outside world, I had already exhausted all of my Water Laws. But now … it's replenished. "
Rein could clearly feel that the law of water was not only replenished, but also filled to the brim.
Angor could tell from the rolling sea around him that the denser the water vapor, the more abundant the law of water was.
Rhine stared at the room at the top of the Adept Tower for a long time. Suddenly, he shook his head and chuckled, "It seems that my actions were unnecessary. We didn't need to use the law of water back then. We underestimated the ability of the dream wasteland.
If the dream wasteland's consciousness could directly restore the law of water in Tidal Garden, it must be very confident.
Angor nodded. The Sorcerer's Garden was only a miniature version, after all. No matter how strong the law was, it couldn't compare to the dream wasteland. Besides, the dream wasteland was already half a world.
However, despite the abundant law of water, Angor still felt something was off.
"These laws … they're both real and fake," Angor muttered.
Fake didn't mean that they were fake. Instead, they were virtual, just like mana. However, it wasn't right to say that they were fake laws. They still retained part of the law's power.
"You're right. Let's go up and see if you want to know more." Rein walked into the tower first and signaled Angor to follow him.
Angor quickly followed. He wanted to see the law of water up close and see what was going on.
As soon as he stepped into the tower, he was stunned.
It wasn't that there was anything strange in the tower. Instead, there were many display shelves on each floor, and the only thing on each shelf was a crystal ball. There were all kinds of crystal balls with different bases and transparent backgrounds.
The entire tower looked more like a museum of crystal balls.
"These are my collection. Each crystal ball has a different story. If you like one, I can give it to you. But it's only limited to the dream wasteland, "Rein said proudly.
Angor smiled without showing his teeth.
After passing through the collection area, they finally arrived at the top floor. Even though there was a door between them, Angor could feel the power of water flowing out from the room.
For a moment, Angor felt as if he was standing at the bottom of a bottomless ocean, while the Goddess of Ocean was standing among beautiful corals and shells with a holy smile.
It took him a while to suppress his desire to explore the water. He couldn't help but exclaim. Even a small garden like this had more power than he expected.
Rein seemed to have adapted well to the power of the water. He even cast a water cantrip in a relaxed manner.
It was a level-2 cantrip called Waterball. Although it was an offensive spell, its power was extremely low. Most wizards used it to make water for drinking because the water in the Waterball spell was purer and sweeter than normal water.
Thanks to the power of the water, the Waterball became even more powerful. The small water ball on Angor's palm expanded to the size of a person.
Rein rubbed the ball a little and let it disappear on its own.
"I'm sure the power of the law is real. If you want to learn other types of water cantrips, you don't have to go to the garden in the real world. You can do it here," Rein said as he pushed the door open.
