As soon as Jack finished speaking, a gentle breeze brushed past his face. At the same time, he heard Gentle Wind Uranus' voice in his ears.
Gentle Wind Uranus spoke to Angor through the wind, inviting him to meet Angor.
He also told Angor that Flourishing Gramme was here as well.
It seemed that Gentle Wind Uranus had already made up his mind after watching the movie box. He also summoned Prince Fan Sheng from the Green Plain to give Angor an answer.
Angor nodded to Jack. "Alright, I'll be right there."
Angor returned to the palace on top of the mountain. This time, he only brought Toby inside while Dankros stayed outside to chat with Anoto, Cub Bigg, and the others.
The first thing Angor saw after entering the palace was the shadow of a green tree standing among the clouds.
It was a lush apple tree. It didn't look strange from afar, but upon closer inspection, one would find that the apple tree was surrounded by a glowing green fog. It was as if the tree was wearing a green armor.
Moreover, the fruits it bore were not ordinary either. They were golden and glowing, exuding an alluring sweet fragrance. Even the sleepy Toby was captivated by the fragrance. He opened his eyes and stared at the golden apples hanging on the treetops.
The apple tree heard footsteps coming from behind, and its sturdy trunk … began to move.
The apple tree turned around and revealed its deep-set facial features. It looked at Angor with a curious look.
As Angor stared at the tree, Gentle Wind Uranus stood up from his throne and slowly walked down the stairs to stand between Angor and the tree.
Uranus smiled gently at Angor and introduced the apple tree. "This is Flourishing Gramme of the Green Plain."
After the introduction, Uranus controlled the wind and turned the surrounding clouds into a cloud cushion. He then sat down on the spot.
Gramme Fanatic was going to observe Angor carefully, but he was distracted by Gentle Wind Uranus' behavior.
When Soft Wind Uranus talked to it, it was sitting on the throne.
However, as soon as Angor arrived, Uranus walked down from the throne and sat down on the same level as Angor.
Flourishing Gramme knew what this meant.
Uranus was telling it that Gramme respected Angor very much.
Since Uranus had shown his attitude and even secretly warned it, Flourishing Gramme did not mind. It began to look at Angor with more kindness.
"I heard from Professor Camus that you've been at the Forbidden Peak for two days. Did you find anything?"
Uranus seemed to be making small talk, but Angor noticed that Uranus did not refer to him as "mister". Instead, it referred to him as "you". Uranus was not trying to disrespect Angor. Instead, he was trying to get closer to Angor, which was why he made such a fuss. After all, calling him "mister" sounded a bit distant.
Judging from the way Gentle Wind addressed Uranus, Angor could tell that Gentle Wind was not trying to fight him. Perhaps Gentle Wind adopted Mr. Magoo's suggestion.
Angor quickly thought about it, but he did not change his expression. "Yes. I've been immersed in Mister Feng's paintings these days, and I learned a lot from them. But I have some questions about one of them, and I'd like to hear your opinion, Your Highness. "
"No problem. We'll go there together when we're done here."
After a simple conversation, the greetings were over. Soft Wind Uranos changed the topic and went straight to the point. He talked about his thoughts after watching the Shadow Box Trilogy for the past two days.
It was very detailed, and almost every song was covered in it.
Every time they talked about a song, Uranus and Flamboyant Grammy would talk about it and express their opinions to each other.
Of course, this was not a "review". Instead, it was expressing its and Gramme's opinions to show its attitude to Angor, as well as sharing their values.
Flourishing Gramme did not express much about the first play, Mankind and Civilization. It looked at the rise of mankind from an outsider's perspective and calmly analyzed the pros and cons. Uranus, on the other hand, expressed his high praise for the novel. He repeatedly expressed that this was the most interesting chapter in the trilogy. He did not evaluate humans from the standpoint of elemental creatures. Instead, he regarded himself as a member of the human race. He sighed with emotion as he watched the rise of human civilization. He even tried to replicate human civilization among elemental creatures.
From the exchange of viewpoints in Book One, Angor already felt that Flamboyant Gramme and Gentle Wind Uranus had different personalities and thoughts.
This was the attitude that Uranus wanted to show by communicating with Angor.
In the second part of "The Wizard's World," both Flourishing Grammy and Soft Wind Uranus were very indifferent. It was not that they did not want to explore the wider supernatural world. It was just that this play clearly showed how wizards needed elemental creatures. Even though Angor described the relationship between wizards and elemental creatures as "partners", it was still a human's view. As intelligent beings with high freedom values, neither Gentle Wind Uranus nor Flamboyant Gramme believed it.
Uranus did not like the idea of "elemental partners" either. However, he still used objective words to express his rational opinion.
Living together with humans, especially powerful humans, meant that they had to pay the price of survival if they didn't want to be exterminated. From the perspective of humans, elemental creatures were aliens, and humans had a tradition of never being united with aliens.
Becoming an elemental partner of a human was a "price".
In Uranus' eyes, this was a good price to pay. No matter how cruel a wizard was, they would rarely kill their elemental companions.
Elemental creatures could survive in the wizarding world as long as they did not cause trouble. Therefore, in Uranus's relatively objective attitude, even if he did not agree, he did not reject it.
Flourishing Gramme, on the other hand, did not say anything. Angor also expressed his disgust.
He did not speak for humans. Instead, he explained the basic rules of how wizards treated elemental creatures in a very objective manner. Also, Angor's point of view was mostly about Dark Wizards, who were eccentric and opinionated.
Humans came in all shapes and sizes. Elemental creatures would meet different humans in the future. Saying too many good things now would only make them lose face in the future.
In Angor's opinion, many wizards treated elemental creatures as pets or "tools". However, it was undeniable that most wizards had a close relationship with their elemental partners. After all, it was easier to communicate with an elemental partner if one wanted to learn Elemental spells. In this case, even if a wizard treated an elemental creature as a tool, they would not destroy it for no good reason.
Even if there came a day when the tool was no longer useful to a wizard, wizards would still treat elemental creatures well because they had been living together for a long time. In the worst-case scenario, they would only ask the elemental creature to leave. Killing the donkey after it had outlived its usefulness was rarely seen.
More importantly, wizards and elemental creatures were basically "mutually beneficial". Wizards could obtain shortcuts to Elemental spells from elemental creatures, while elemental creatures could grow faster with the help of resources provided by wizards. Compared to slowly growing up in the Tidal Realm, the elemental creatures could grow much faster.
That was why demands and sacrifices were actually mutually exclusive. In fact, it was even possible that the elemental creatures would obtain even more.
Of course, this was not an excuse for humans. Most of the time, humans "captured" their elemental partners. Elemental creatures were indeed afraid of such contracts. Angor understood why Uranus and Flamboyant Gramme didn't like it.
He wanted Brute Cavern to establish a base in the Tidal Realm and sign a reciprocal contract with the elemental creatures to solve this problem.
If an elemental creature voluntarily signed a contract with a human and chose to become a wizard's partner, it would be better than being captured. Besides, the bond between the elemental and the elemental would be strengthened, which could prevent a tragedy from happening.
Uranus and Flamboyant Grammy remained silent for a long time after hearing Angor's explanation.
Angor's explanation was basically an extension of the third book, The Possibilities of Tidal Realm's Future.
Uranus did not know what Flourishing Gramme was thinking, but he was already tempted.
It was not because Angor's words convinced him. It was because Uranus had a more realistic view.
According to the third book, the Tidal Realm was bound to be open to the outside world in the future. Instead of fighting against humans, Uranus would rather accept Angor's suggestion and maintain its independence by forming an alliance.
It sounded like appeasement, and it was the truth. The other party was strong and they were weak. Under such an absolute disadvantage, compromise was the best way to survive.
Besides, Angor also explained that this was a mutually beneficial arrangement. Uranus did not believe Angor's words for now. After all, they did not know more humans and did not have more samples. However, if what Angor said was true, it was not that hard to accept.
Perhaps many elemental spirits or elemental creatures who had been stuck for a long time would be willing to become a wizard's partner so that they could grow stronger. Just like how humans had different personalities, elemental creatures were also intelligent creatures with different personalities. There would be plenty of elemental creatures who were willing to accept a wizard's offer.
Uranus was really tempted. However, he did not say anything yet. He planned to go with the crowd and meet Mr. Magoo and the visitors from Brute Cavern in the Fire Zone before making a decision.
Because of the previous exchange of views, the third book, The Possibilities of Tidal Realm's Future, was basically finished. However, the two Sovereigns still expressed their opinions about the current situation.
Soft Wind Uranus and Flourishing Gramma were both worried about the future of the Tidal Realm, but they were slightly different in their personal emotions.
Uranus was worried, but he was also looking forward to the future. Just like how he praised the first book, he really liked the glorious civilization created by humans. Once the Tidal Realm was opened to the outside world, humans would not be the only ones coming in. Uranus would also be able to leave and witness a bigger and more glorious world.
Flourishing Gramme, on the other hand, was more worried and less expectant. However, Flourishing Gramme was a neutral peacemaker. Just like Uranus, it did not want to fight against the powerful wizard civilization. Since the two realms were connected, working with Brute Cavern was the only option.
Therefore, Thriving Gramme agreed to meet with Mister Magoo and negotiate with the visitors from Brute Cavern in the future even though it did not share Gentle Wind's opinion.
Angor felt relieved after confirming the two Sovereigns' opinions. Most elemental creatures he met were simple-minded. There were a few exceptions, but that did not stop him from appreciating them. It would be best if they could solve their problems without war.
Next, they talked about other things that were not mentioned in the movie box, such as the distribution of factions in the human world, the differences among wizards, and other planes beyond the wizarding world.
After satisfying their curiosity, it was time to end the conversation.
Grammy Flourishing also bade farewell to Angor and Uranus and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Grammy left two Golden Apples behind. One for Angor, and the other for Toby, who had been staring at the apple for the whole afternoon and drooling all over the place.
The Golden Apple was similar to Jack's magic beans, which could provide natural energy. However, the Golden Apple contained more energy and was of a higher level. More importantly, it tasted good.
Toby finished his Golden Apple quickly and looked at Angor's hand.
The Golden Apple did not provide much help to Angor. Since Toby liked it, Angor gave his share to Toby as well.
"This is just a Golden Apple grown from the seed of my doppelganger. If you like it, you can come to the Green Field and try the Golden Apple from my original body." After making the invitation, Grim Rebirth did not stay any longer and left Wind Island after bidding farewell to everyone.
Now, only Gentle Wind and Uranus were left in the palace.
Now, he finally had the chance to ask Gentle Wind about Feng.
Gentle Wind Uranos knew a lot of information, especially about Feng's life. He had a lot of information. Of course, he didn't really care about that. He wanted to know what kind of trap Feng set up in Tidal Realm, and what kind of treasure Feng left behind.
