Dumartin was the fastest among them. He didn't care about keeping the paintings a secret. Instead of asking about the painting, he began to tell Angor about his conversation with Rein, "I went to the Tidal Garden and saw a water elemental creature. But …"
"You can't get it." Dumartin sighed softly, his expression was complicated.
It wasn't that Rhine didn't want to give it to him, but when he went to the Tidal Garden, he found that "Konoha Hanabi" Nean Yethaway, "Old White" Wallace, and "Tree Spirit" -sama were all there. Furthermore, the three of them were very serious as they surrounded a flying fish creature and studied it.
This flying fish was the only elemental creature in the Tidal Garden.
Dumartin knew that he couldn't get it from them, so he gave up.
"I guess I'll have to see if I'm lucky enough to find a suitable elemental creature," Angor replied.
Dumartin nodded, but he didn't think Angor would be lucky enough to find a wild elemental creature. As far as he was concerned, he could only wait until Angor returned to Brute Cavern so that he could get more registers from Brute Cavern to study supernatural creatures.
While they were talking, Rein and Iron Granny were still admiring the oil paintings.
With their ability to analyze information, they could decipher a lot of the contents inside and outside of the painting just by looking at it. For example, they were able to analyze the contents of a winter forest by grasping the details, combining the seasons, plants, biodiversity, and even the wind's bias.
Even if it was just a guess of the painting's location, they would have a rough idea.
Iron Granny was even able to tell that the city in the painting was the capital of the Central Empire on the Land of Revelation based on the architectural style and cultural details.
Because of this, they believed that Angor found the paintings in the Land of Revelation.
However, as they looked deeper into the paintings, they found many strange things. They saw ice marks on the surface of the water when it was summer. They saw flames on the surface of the water.
More and more strange paintings appeared in their view. The location that they were previously certain of was also starting to waver.
Ten minutes later, Iron Granny, Rein, and Leona had finished their tour of the exhibition. They gathered at the entrance of the exhibition.
"What do you think?" Angor asked.
Leona was the first to give an answer. "As expected of a magic painting wizard. Every painting is full of deep meaning and history..."
The others didn't know what to say.
"I don't see any history," Dumartin said. However, from the feeling that the painting gives me, the Magic Artist Adept must have been very relaxed when he was painting. As for the story outside the painting, I can't see it clearly. "
Dumartin then looked at Rein and Iron Granny. While Dumartin was only looking around casually, Rein and Iron Granny were looking very carefully. Maybe they could find something.
However, Rhine remained silent. He shook his head and said, "I can't tell."
Iron Granny's answer was similar to Rhine's.
Even Rein and Iron Granny couldn't come up with a solid answer. In the end, everyone looked at Angor.
To everyone's confusion, he gave an explanation. However, he only repeated what he told Leona earlier.
"Anyway, I don't know if there are any secrets hidden in the paintings. Let's leave them here for now. If other wizards find anything, please let me know. "
With that, Angor excused himself from the exhibition by saying that he had something else to do. To the others, however, it looked more like Angor was leaving in a hurry because he didn't want to talk too much.
"So Angor is hiding something from us," Dumartin said in a low voice.
"Maybe Angor found a painting room left behind by a magic painter?"
It was Leona who asked. However, no one agreed with her question. Instead, they all looked at her strangely.
"Ahem, I'm going upstairs. The tea will get cold if I don't go back now."
"Me too. I think I know something about the next level of Monument Loop."
Iron Granny and Rhine turned around and walked out the door, disappearing from the exhibition.
Dumartin was about to leave as well. But before he left, he looked at Leona's confused face and sighed. "The magic painter was a painter, but he only painted during his travels. He never left behind a painting room. Instead of wondering if Angor found a painting room, it's more likely that Angor found a wizard's ruin where he kept his paintings. "
With that, Dumartin disappeared from the exhibition as well.
Iron Granny, who had returned to the sixth floor of Rose Aquarium, suddenly spoke up. "Why do I feel that apart from the ones in the Central Empire, the rest of the paintings represent a whole new world?"
Rein thought about the strange things in the paintings and nodded. "You're right. They don't look like something from the wizarding world."
"Maybe Feng Hua created some otherworldly creatures?"
Rhine thought about it and denied this answer. From the details of some of the paintings, he could basically determine the timeline of the paintings. Those paintings should be paintings from the same period.
Angor was painting the Land of Revelation a moment ago, and then he was painting otherworldly creatures. That didn't make sense at all.
"The Land of Revelation, but they don't look like something from the wizarding world … I have an idea."
"An affiliated plane?" Rein asked.
Iron Granny nodded. "Maybe the secret Feng hid in the painting is actually pointing to a subsidiary realm?"
…
Angor didn't hear the conversation between Iron Granny and Rein.
He was now far away from the new city and standing in the middle of a lush forest.
He floated in the air and looked down at a small hill. The hill was covered with green grass and a few small white flowers. It didn't look like anything special at first glance.
But there was a reason why Angor was looking at it.
A few minutes later, pink mist began to seep out of the ordinary-looking hill. The speed at which the fog leaked out was very fast. In just ten minutes, the hundred-meter-tall hill was shrouded in pink fog.
He stared at the mist for a while before disappearing from sight.
When he reappeared, he was still near the small hill and was still in midair. But this time, he wasn't alone. Freud was beside him.
Freud was working in Foundation City when he heard Angor's voice telling him to leave the dream wasteland and come back.
Freud understood that Angor was trying to summon him to a certain place.
As expected, when he entered the dream wasteland again, he was no longer in his office. Instead, he was standing in the air above a forest.
At first, Freud didn't know why Angor asked him to come here. But when he saw the mountain covered in pink mist, he couldn't help but wonder.
"Is that … the Evil Mist?" Freud spent most of his time in Heaven's Tower and Sinful Demon's lab.
Sinful Demon's lab was built near the Evil Mist.
That was why Freud thought of the Sin Mist the moment he saw it. Even though the mist here was pink, which was different from the black mist around Sinful Demon's lab. However, the feeling it gave him was the same austere, the same maddening feeling.
"Yes." Angor nodded.
The black mist in Sinful Demon's lab could be called the Evil Mist, but that wasn't all. The black fog was just the surface of the Evil Fog. The Evil Fog could take on many other forms, such as gray fog, red fog, blue fog, and so on.
The pink mist around the small hill was also one of the manifestations of the Evil Mist.
"Is the second Evil Mist here as well?" Freud sighed. Since the Authority of the Evil Mist was scattered across the land, no one could tell when or where it would appear.
Angor could, but he had to keep his attention on the Tree of Authority at all times. Once there were signs of the Evil Fog being born, they had to suppress it immediately. Only then could they prevent the Evil Fog from appearing. But Angor couldn't keep an eye on the Tree of Authority all the time, so this Evil Mist wasn't part of his plan.
Freud's main concern was that the mist was the Evil Mist.
"How far is this place from Foundation City?"
The Evil Mist was a type of Authority under the Law of All Things, which could give birth to the Evil Creatures.
Facing the evil creatures, the ordinary citizens of First Heart City were almost completely crushed. If the Evil Mist got too close to Foundation City, it would become a nightmare.
"About five hundred kilometers," Angor said after some rough estimation.
Freud sighed in relief. Five hundred kilometers wasn't too far, but it wasn't too far away from Sinful Demon's lab. It shouldn't affect Foundation City for a while.
But Angor continued, "The Evil Mist is still in its infancy stage, so it hasn't given birth to any Evil Creatures yet. But I heard from the Tree of Authority that it's called a flying nest because most of the Evil Creatures it gives birth to are flying types."
Flying types? "Do you think they'll reach Foundation City?" Freud looked at Angor in disbelief.
"I can't give you a definite answer for now. But I'm not sure about the future. There's a good chance that Foundation City will be affected."
