If Gentle Wind didn't want his allies to get involved, maybe it wasn't something serious? But if it wasn't, why did he call back all the wind creatures in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to take care of the elemental spirits?
Gentle Wind didn't tell his allies what happened, which meant Gentle Wind didn't want anyone to know about it.
He didn't know the details, but based on the information he gathered, he assumed that the incident only happened in White Cloud Village.
Maybe there was an internal strife?
Angor couldn't help but think about all the dirty things that happened in the royal family, such as fighting for the throne, fighting for power, factional disputes, and so on. These dirty things were usually kept secret for the sake of their reputation. Only people who were not members of the royal family knew about them.
Angor believed that this was the reason why Gentle Wind Uranus didn't want to tell anyone about it because it was a family scandal.
Of course, this was only a guess. He had to go to White Cloud Village to find out the details.
"The Wise One heard about your situation and invited you to visit the Lake of Birth," said Angor. "The Wise One and Lady Fansheng are also keeping an eye on Wind Island. If there is any news, you can go to the Lake of Birth and get it in time."
Despite that, he still decided to decline the offer after some consideration.
As far as he knew, the Green Plain and White Cloud Village were both in the same area. However, to avoid suspicion, Wind Island and the Lake of Birth were kept far away from each other. For one thing, he didn't want to waste time traveling back and forth. For another, since the Wise One in Green Plain didn't know what was going on, he might as well go to Wind Island according to his original plan.
After all, he didn't have to go to the Lake of Birth in Green Plain, but he had to go to Wind Island in White Cloud Village.
Besides, he didn't know when the incident on Wind Island would end. He couldn't wait forever.
Even if there was an "internal conflict" happening on Wind Island, he believed that Gentle Wind Uranus would not do anything to it. After all, he had Anoto's "arrow of command" and Wise Man Ku Platinum's message from Tusk Desert.
He came here for a reason, not for trespassing.
With this in mind, Angor declined the offer. He might go to Green Plain in the future, but for now, he had to go to Wind Island first.
Demon Vine thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I will inform Master Sage of your decision."
The vine invited Angor to visit its temporary residence again. Angor still declined. He asked the vine about the shortest route to Wind Island and the possible dangers. Then, he bid farewell to the vine.
Gondola set sail again.
They traveled through the clouds for about an hour, and they didn't see any wind creatures. It seemed that all the wind creatures already gathered at Wind Island.
After driving for a few more minutes, a touch of green suddenly appeared in the pure white clouds in front of them.
Angor's't.
It was a green bean vine with white flower petals growing on it. It was about ten meters long. It made use of the strong wind in the sky to fly with the wind in a soft posture.
Moreover, this green bean vine could also control the direction of its flight by swaying.
At this moment, the bean vine was controlling its soft body to fly toward Gondola.
Angor didn't try to avoid it. He noticed that the bean vine only followed the wind at first, and it only flew toward them when it noticed them.
He wanted to see what the bean vine was trying to do.
"One, two, three, two … Wait, let me count again. One, two, three … What's the last one?" Angor heard the beanstalk moving closer to Gondola.
"Four, you idiot." At this moment, Dankros also ran to the side of the ship and looked at the green bean vines curiously. He even spat out a fragrant breath.
"Oh, that's right, there are four of them!" the green bean vine said before descending onto the Gondola.
As it approached, Elmi's blue lantern flower slowly appeared on the bow of the boat. Angor sent a telepathic message to Elmi, who relaxed and allowed the blue lantern flower to return to its shadow.
At this point, the bean vine also arrived on Gondola, and it wrapped itself around the Starry Sky Yarn before hanging down like a curtain.
Angor glanced at Dankros, who quickly understood what he meant. "Who are you? It's very rude to get on someone else's boat. Let me tell you something. You can't come on our boat without permission, or you'll be locked in a cage. Unless you become my follower — "
"Ahem." Angor cleared his throat and interrupted Dankros' nonsense.
"Fine, fine. But I'm serious. It's very rude to get on a boat without permission. Now, tell me what you want."
"My name is Jack. I didn't want to come. I'm still learning how to count. Sir Wise Man asked me to come."
By "Wise Man", Jack must be referring to the Wise Man of Verdant Plain.
"Sir Wise Man said that he received a message from Aiur. Sir Wise Man said that he welcomes one, two, three, and two of you to the Lake of Birth." Jack tried to count the number of people on the boat, but he couldn't make out the number. It seemed he could only count to three.
"Aiur is the Monster Vine? I see. Thank you, Wise Man. " Angor kept his eyes on the bean vine. He didn't think the Wise Man of Verdant Plain would send a bean vine just to deliver this message.
As expected, Jack paused and said, "There is one more thing."
Jack waved his hand, and a shiny green bean fell out of one of his leaf sacs.
The bean landed on the table and rolled toward Angor.
"What's this? Did the Wise Man give it to me? "Angor could sense the pure and harmonious nature energy coming from the bean.
"I gave it to you." Jack shook his head.
Angor looked at Jack in confusion.
"Sir Wise Man also gave me a mission. He asked me to go to Wind Island and find out what's going on. I thought that if I went alone, I would definitely be stopped. Aiel told me that you guys were very strong, so I wondered if I could ride on your ship. I knew I couldn't do it for free. That bean is my reward. "
"So the Wise Man asked you to go to Wind Island?"
Jack waved his cane and nodded. "Sir Wise Man is also very concerned about Wind Island."
"Were you the one who wanted to board my ship and go with us?"
Jack nodded again and said proudly, "Yes, when I saw your spaceship, I came up with this idea. Isn't it smart?"
Angor stared at Jack without saying anything.
Dankrose chuckled. "What do you mean 'smart'? The Wise Man gave you a hint."
"Sir Wise Man didn't give me a hint. He only asked me to go to Wind Island and see what's going on."
Dankros said, "Think about it yourself. Why would your wise man ask you to deliver a meaningless message for no reason? Maybe he didn't say it explicitly, but he asked you to come to us. Isn't that a hint? "
Angor glanced at Dankrose in surprise. Back in the Fire Territory, Angor only thought of the man as a simpleton. But after spending several days with him, Angor realized that Dankrose was quite smart.
What Dankrose said was exactly what Angor was thinking.
Maybe the Wise Man didn't explicitly ask Jack to join their ship, but the hint was obvious enough.
"Is that so?" Jack still did not believe it, but Dankrose's analysis was quite logical. Furthermore, Dankrose had told him about the number after three. Jack felt that this strange severed hand might be smarter than him, so he was a little suspicious.
"That must be the case. You Wise Ones know very well that you won't be able to enter Wind Island in your current condition. You can only enter Wind Island by following our ship and using the excuse that we're here to return Anoto to you. This is definitely a hint. "
"Then I won't join your ship." Jack didn't know the truth, but he felt that it wouldn't be good if he continued to join the ship. So, he decided to get off the ship.
"Fine. Come with us." Angor didn't mind.
He could see that the wise man of the Green Field had sent such a "simple" Czech. Perhaps he had already anticipated Czech's subsequent actions, including the current situation.
Jack couldn't think of such a simple plan, but the Wise Man must have seen through it.
The Wise Man didn't just want to learn more about Wind Island. He also wanted to test Angor's strength.
Whether the Wise Man refused to let Jack on the ship or allowed him to do so, he was showing his attitude. If Angor really went to the Lake of Birth, which was the core of the Green Plain, this attitude would be the same as how the Wise Man treated Angor.
Maybe the Wise Man knew that Angor wasn't an elemental creature and suspected that Angor was trying to test him. Angor didn't care. Sending Illusion Boxes to different places was already the best he could do. The Tidal Realm would eventually open up, and this was an irreversible trend. No matter what he did, he wouldn't be able to change the fate of the Tidal Realm. He would only change the fate of the elemental creatures, which had nothing to do with Angor.
Angor didn't care about what the Wise Man wanted to see. It didn't matter to him at all.
The only thing he wanted to do now was to meet Gentle Wind Uranus and ask him about Feng.
As for letting Jack on the ship, Angor didn't really care. It was all up to Jack.
Since Jack was willing to pay for the ship, and Angor believed that Jack was a naive man, he agreed.
However, he only agreed to let Jack board the ship. He did not know if he would let Jack explore the Wind Island after they arrived at the island. At the very least, Angor needed to see Gentle Wind Uranus and ask for his opinion before making a decision.
After all, compared to the Wise Man of Green Plain, Angor cared more about Gentle Wind Uranus' attitude.
Angor agreed to let Jack board the ship and took the magic beans as payment.
He inspected the bean carefully and found that it had a strange shape. It had a shape in the material world, but it was actually a collection of elements. There seemed to be some kind of power that connected the material world and the energy world, allowing it to take the same shape in both worlds.
Maybe this was Jack's ability?
Angor asked. As expected, this was Jack's ability.
Jack could transform the power of nature into pods on his body, which he could use to replenish his energy when he ran out of energy.
In other words, this was the fruit of Jack's creation.
It was a special magic material. It wasn't a high-grade magic material, but it was very pure and could be used as a substitute for many wood-type materials.
Of course, it could also be used as a "mana supplement" or a "spellcasting material" for nature wizards. Since it contained pure nature energy, it was a good consumable for nature wizards.
Angor liked the beans as well. They were only low-tier materials, but Czechs could produce them in large quantities, which meant that the beans could be used to improve the quality of the materials.
Angor asked Jack about the production of the beans.
Jack's answer disappointed Angor. Creating pods required a lot of energy, and it would take a long time for one to be produced. Also, the percentage of mana replenishment was very low. It could only be used as a non-emergency resource.
Only during the World Sound, or Elemental Tide, would Jack have the chance to produce more pods.
Also, Jack liked the crunchy taste of the beans. He didn't usually store them, and he would give them away whenever he had extra. Jack had been saving this one for a long time, and he only gave it to Angor because he wanted a free ride on the ship.
Since it wasn't easy to produce magic beans, Angor had to give up on the idea of exchanging some for now.
Still, Angor planned to maintain a good relationship with Jack. Such pure nature fruits were rare. Maybe he could do some business with Jack in the name of himself or Phantom Island after the Tide Realm was opened.
…
The Gondola continued to travel through the clouds.
After flying for five hours, Angor finally arrived at the core area of White Cloud Village.
If the clouds in other places were compared to inland lakes, what he was looking at now was a real sea.
It was a sea of clouds that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Some of the clouds were thin, while others were thin. However, there was no break in the middle. The clouds stretched as far as the eye could see.
This was the true White Cloud Village, a land of wind formed entirely by clouds.
And Wind Island was located in the depths of this sea of clouds.
Angor sighed in amazement. Without stopping, the Gondola dashed into the sea of clouds at full speed.
The closer he got to the core area of White Cloud Village, the stronger the wind element around him became.
Also, the wind was blowing against Gondola's direction.
