Unlike Phantom Island, which was a floating island made of clouds, Wind Island was actually a piece of land separated from the island. It was just that a strong yet stable wind force kept it above the clouds.
Walking on the green grass of Wind Island, Angor didn't even feel like the island was being blown up by the wind. It was almost as if he was walking on a continent.
Furthermore, Wind Island was situated in a very unique position. Although it was surrounded by thick, cotton-like cumulus clouds, the clouds directly above it were so thin that a gust of wind could blow them away. In other words, as long as the wind creatures wanted to, they could enjoy a sunny day every day.
The more Angor learned about Wind Island, the more he liked it. The wind creatures around the island were also looking at them with curiosity and friendliness. It was a perfect place to build a branch library.
Of course, it would be better if there were fewer wind elves around.
With that in mind, Angor took out a small, green-skinned puppy from his waist.
The puppy was the first wind elf to approach Angor after Gondola landed. It seemed to be very interested in the pattern of stars and moons on the robe. It bit onto one of the suns and refused to let go. When Angor finally pulled it away, the naughty child turned into a gust of wind and disappeared between his fingers. It then ran to the other side of the robe, reformed, and continued to attack Angor.
However, this time, before the puppy could pounce on the clothes, it was pressed down on the grass by an invisible force of gravity.
The puppy tried to turn into wind again, but it couldn't move at all. It could only whimper and look at Camus, who was standing on the other side.
Camus cleared his throat and walked to Angor. "Mister Padt, it didn't do it on purpose. It —"
Camus paused and spoke in an embarrassed tone, "I think it was instigated."
With that, Camus turned to look in a certain direction and yelled, "Qiu Big, get over here!"
However, Camus didn't get any response. Angor followed Camus's gaze and saw a small shadow running away from the crowd of wind creatures. It seemed the shadow didn't even bother to look back as if it was scared of being discovered.
Looking at the fleeing figure, Camus only felt anger rising in its heart. If Angor was not here, Camus would have gone to beat the bastard up already.
Camus took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He tried his best to speak in a calm voice, "That is a little elf that I adopted. His name is Cub Bigg. Maybe I didn't teach him well, so he's a little naughty. He likes to cause trouble. Allow me to apologize on his behalf, mister. "
Angor didn't know what to say. He sighed in his mind and pretended that he didn't care. "It's fine. He's just a kid. Being naughty is part of his nature."
"However, it's not good to be too mischievous. If it were any other Magus, it might have to sign a complete Mork's Oath before it could stop." Not every wizard was as easy-going as Camus, Angor thought to himself.
While Angor was still smiling, Camus shivered as if he felt a chill running down his spine.
"It's my fault. I'll bring Cubby to apologize to you later, mister," Camus said carefully.
Angor waved a hand. "No need. It's not a big deal."
Camus lowered his head as a form of thanks. Then, he looked at the green skinned puppy that was pinned to the ground.
Angor quickly got the hint and gave Toby a look. Toby humphed and withdrew his sequence of gravity from the puppy.
The little puppy finally realized that Angor wasn't someone to mess with. It whimpered and ran away with its tail between its legs.
Angor soon forgot about this little incident. The clouds around Wind Island suddenly began to move, and several mountain-like shadows began to appear behind them.
All the wind elemental creatures on Wind Island focused their attention on the surging clouds outside. The ignorant ones were curious, while those with inside information were looking into the distance in excitement.
As the clouds moved even more violently, Camus, who was standing beside Angor, said, "My clone is here. Excuse me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the faint green shadow disappeared.
Angor glanced at where Camus disappeared but didn't say anything. If Magoo could create a clone, it was normal for Camus to do the same. However, Magoo's clone was built on his enormous body and countless tentacles. Camus, on the other hand, seemed to have two separate entities. One of them came to Wind Island with Angor, while the other stayed outside the Cloud Battlefield to receive Gentle Wind Uranus. Now, Camus was leading his team back to Wind Island.
Perhaps this unique doppelganger was due to Camus's talent? Or maybe he misunderstood. Camus and Magoo were essentially the same. Camus also had countless tentacles, but because of the invisible wind, people thought they were two clones.
If it was the latter, Angor was starting to get interested in Camus's real body.
After a few minutes of rolling clouds in the outside world, the two wind creatures led by Gentle Wind Uranus and Camus brought the captured Storm Ridge members through the cumulus clouds and appeared in the sky above Wind Island.
As soon as they showed up, everyone on Wind Island became excited.
Most of the wind creatures didn't know what was going on outside. However, they knew that they were summoned here to deal with the invaders from Tempest Ridge. Now that the invaders had surrendered, it meant that this unexpected war was over!
They all cheered for Princess Gentle Wind's name.
The wind carried their voices to every corner of Wind Island, as if the power that gathered all the voices came from the ground itself.
Some of them might think that Princess Gentle Wind single-handedly defeated the rebels, so they cheered for her. However, most of the wind creatures were simply venting their emotions for the sake of victory.
Uranus, who was standing on the clouds, didn't expect to see such a scene.
It was situated in the clouds, and it suddenly didn't know how to respond. Looking at the excited citizens, he didn't want to tell them that it wasn't his work, but the captives of an outsider. That would greatly affect their morale.
But if he didn't say that, they would think that he fought against thousands of people all by himself. Not only would that be disrespectful to Angor, but it would also harm himself. As strong as Uranus was, he didn't think that he could defeat so many invaders all by himself. Otherwise, why would he summon all the wind creatures back to Wind Island to cheer for him? If the citizens of Wind Island misunderstood and thought that he could defeat the invaders by himself in the future, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
Therefore, he had to correct his mistake.
Just as Soft Wind Uranus was about to speak, a voice suddenly came into his ears. "I don't care about pointless contributions."
Gentle Wind Uranus looked down at a corner of Wind Island, where Angor was smiling politely at him.
"You don't care, but I do," Uranus sent a voice transmission to Angor through the wind. "The higher you climb, the higher you fall."
He didn't expect Gentle Wind Uranus to be so far-sighted. But Gentle Wind Uranus seemed to be quite far-sighted.
"It's fine. If you really want to explain, you can do it later. You'll only confuse them," Angor said. "I don't mind."
Gentle Wind Uranus remained silent for a moment. Then he gave Angor a grateful look.
Following Gentle Wind's instructions, Gondola flew to the palace on top of the tallest mountain on Wind Island. Angor didn't stay behind to join the cheers and celebrations.
There were many human buildings on Wind Island, all of which were built under the guidance of Uranus. Among them, the largest building was the palace complex that stretched from the mountainside all the way to the top of the mountain.
The palace complex was huge, but it was hard to see it from afar because it was always shrouded in clouds.
Only when Angor got closer did he feel the awe-inspiring sight of the palace complex.
The palace complex was even bigger than the palace of the Shannon Royal Family. It was hard to imagine that it was built by a wind creature.
When he reached the top of the mountain, he saw Camus the Wise waiting in front of the palace gate.
"Another one of Mister Camus's clones?" Angor jumped down from Gondola.
Camus nodded. "Yes. Her Highness told me to wait here for you, sir. He'll be here soon."
Uranus was still trying to find a way to settle the "captives" and rearrange the people who were summoned to Wind Island, so Angor understood.
Uranus wasn't back yet, but there were still some things he could take care of first.
For example, the elemental spirits on Gondola.
Angor summoned all the elemental spirits on the ship, except for Jack the Bean Vine.
Angor didn't know whether Jack could get to Wind Island or not.
When Camus heard about Jack, he immediately understood that Jack was probably sent by the Sage of the Green Plains to inquire about information. Considering the current relationship between Green Plain and White Cloud Village, Jack didn't mean that he was here to spy on Wind Island. However, it was obvious that Jack wanted to see what was going on.
However, Angor had already solved the "internal problem" of White Cloud Village.
It didn't matter if the wise man of Green Plain knew about Wind Island's current situation.
Camus smiled. "Green Plain and White Cloud Village are close friends. If Jack wants to get to Wind Island, we'll welcome him with open arms."
With Camus' permission, Angor let Jack out.
However, as soon as Jack got off the ship, before he could say anything, Camus ordered a wind-type creature to take him away with the excuse of "showing him around Wind Island".
Angor didn't stop them. As Camus said, Green Plain and White Cloud Village were close friends, so Jack wouldn't be mistreated.
After Jack left, Angor finally looked at the group of elves.
Anoto was still in the sand cage, and he was still sobbing non-stop. According to Dankros, he was not crying because he was sad, but because he was happy.
Angor didn't release Anoto right away. Anoto's situation was a bit special. It was more like a diplomatic situation. Angor had a reason to release Anoto, but he had to wait until Gentle Wind Uranus came back.
As for the other wind elves, they were taken away by Camus's subordinates after Angor removed the illusion.
They didn't need to be brought back to Wind Island because they didn't want to be harmed by the enemy. Now that Angor brought them back, they had to make proper arrangements.
However, one of the wind elves stayed behind.
It was the silver flying fish they encountered earlier.
If Camus wasn't mistaken, this fish was also from Storm Mountain. Its name was Fewat.
Camus didn't know how to deal with an elf that wasn't born in White Cloud Village. This was his first time dealing with something like this, so he had to wait for Princess Gentle Wind to come back first.
After settling the elves down, Camus led them to the palace at the top of the mountain.
Angor noticed some details when he got close to the palace. Judging from the overall shape, the palace was built in the style of humans. However, there were many details that didn't fit the style of human buildings.
For example, the "pavilion in the sky", which went against common sense, was actually here.
Maybe this was a modification of the wind elves' style?
This kind of change definitely wouldn't work in the outside world, but in here, it was very reasonable and had a different flavor.
Later, Angor learned from Camus that this wasn't a modification of the style. It was … a natural construction.
Camus said that these buildings were built by Gentle Wind Uranus based on Mr. Feng's words and Mr. Feng's drawings that he had seen before.
Although it was an imitation, Gentle Wind Uranus had never studied architecture systematically. It only had the appearance but not the spirit, so it could only be regarded as a natural building.
Buildings that didn't need a foundation to float in the air could only be found on Wind Island.
Of course, the truth was rather laughable, but it had to be said that this type of "assumed" building was quite unique. Wind elemental creatures' social ecology had already developed their own style.
If they kept doing this, they might even form a new urban civilization.
Under Camus's lead, they walked along the long corridor of the palace for about a hundred meters before finally arriving in front of a magnificent hall.
Judging from the structure, the hall was built in the style of the Silver Heron Palace. He believed that Gentle Wind Uranus must have used Feng's painting as a reference to the Silver Heron Royal Family.
There were no guards on the platform outside the hall, so they could reach the entrance directly.
At the entrance, they ran into a wind elemental creature.
To be exact, it was a Wind Elf.
