While Angor was talking to the two elemental creatures, the others remained silent and listened to their conversation.
The more they listened, the stranger they felt.
They were able to figure out the general story. A fire frog who loved to travel and a water tanuki who was drying gems on the shore got into a fight for some reason. Both of their elemental cores were shattered, and Angor happened to bring them along.
It sounded normal at first, but when they thought about it, they realized something was wrong.
For such a plot, if the participants were changed from elemental creatures to Chéng Rén, it would be quite normal. After all, similar stories were everywhere in the human world.
But it was strange that elemental creatures were involved in such a thing. Wild elemental creatures were rare in the wizarding world, and it was difficult for wizards to find one. But two elemental creatures with completely different natures just happened to run into each other and started fighting over something trivial.
It was as if there were as many elemental creatures in the wild as rats in the fields.
Also, the tanuki mentioned "Forest of Rain", as well as "Mister Magoo" and "Mister Eskimo", which seemed to be related to supernatural organizations and creatures. But they never heard of such names in the wizarding world.
They even began to wonder if Angor was really in another world.
But Angor denied it before. Besides, Angor couldn't enter the dream wasteland even if he was in another world.
They didn't get much useful information from the two elemental creatures' conversation, but they had a feeling that Angor and the two elemental creatures were hiding a lot of secrets.
While they pondered, Angor had finished talking to the two elemental creatures.
With the agreement of the traveling frog and the tanuki, Angor brought them to the group.
"I've talked to them. They'll do their best to cooperate with your research." Angor looked at Dumartin. "But there's a condition. You have to ask for their permission before you start your research."
Dumartin looked at the two creatures with a smile. "Of course."
The tanuki felt a little uneasy at Dumartin's smile, while the frog quickly hid in Angor's sleeve. Angor comforted the frog, and the frog finally calmed down.
"Since you want to cooperate with Dumartin's research, you'd better introduce yourselves first, or at least have a code name." He pointed at the frog and said, "This one can't talk for now, so we can call it by its scientific name."
He paused and looked at the civet.
The raccoon obediently walked forward and nodded in a very human-like manner. "I was born in the rain, so you can call me Yu Li."
Judging from the cat's cunning expression, everyone knew that "Yu Li" was not its real name. It was just a codename given to it by Angor.
However, a code name was just a code name. It just had to say, "I was born in the rain."
After Yu Li finished speaking, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Because when the Sound of the World arrived, the Forest of Rain would begin to drizzle, and the rain contained a terrifying amount of the power of Water, which was why it was born. The reason why Yu Li chose "Rain" as her codename was because there weren't any water-type creatures in the Forest of Rain, so Yu Li wanted to take advantage of the situation. Everyone who had the surname "Yu" in the Forest of Rain was a famous figure.
However, what Yu Li didn't know was that the little scheme she unconsciously revealed revealed a lot of information in the ears of others.
Rein, Iron Granny, and the others had lived for a very long time, so they knew a lot of secrets hidden in history.
As far as they knew, there were records of water-type creatures being born in the rain in the World of Adepts.
For example, there was a case where a wizard created a Sorcerer's Garden, and the world's consciousness gave him the law of water. When the garden was created, it began to rain. Because of the law of water, the rain contained abundant water energy, which laid the foundation for the birth of water-type creatures.
There were other similar cases, but all of them had a lot of coincidences.
A normal rain would never give birth to a water-type creature.
At least, in the past thousand years, they had never heard of a water-type creature being born in a rainstorm.
"You're born in the rain? That's strange. "Dumartin grinned." The rain you're talking about isn't normal, is it? "
Yu Li didn't doubt his words. "Of course it's not normal rain. It comes once every few years, and it's caused by the World Sound."
Apart from Angor, everyone's eyes flickered.
"Once every few years," Dumartin said, "so it's a periodic rain. That's incredible. "
Yu Li didn't understand why Dumartin would say that.
Dumartin continued, "What's this World Sound you're talking about?"
Yu Li nodded. "It's the World Sound. Every time the tide rises, it will —"
Suddenly, Yuku felt something was wrong. She noticed that everyone was looking at her with curious eyes except for Angor.
Yu Li wasn't stupid. She immediately understood. "You don't know about the Sound of the World?"
Dumartin admitted without hesitation. "This is the first time I've heard about it. Can you explain it to me?"
Yu Li didn't answer. Instead, she looked at Angor. Angor mentioned that he knew Sage Eskimo from the Maraya Ice Mountain and Magoo from the Fire Zone. In other words, Angor must know something about the Tide Realm. However, these people didn't seem to know anything about it.
Yu Li didn't say anything. Instead, she gave Angor a questioning look.
Angor blinked his eyes and nodded at the bird.
Yu Li didn't know much about worldly affairs, but she was smart enough to know what Angor was talking about.
Angor was telling Yu Li that these people didn't come from the Tide Realm. They might have come to the same dream world from a faraway world because they had entered the dream. Yu Li agreed that such a theory was ridiculous. However, the existence of a dream world was already far away from reality, so she didn't need to think about logic.
Therefore, these people didn't really know anything about the Tide Realm.
Angor was the only one who knew about it, and he was currently in the Tide Realm.
From their conversation, Yu Li could tell that Angor didn't tell them anything about the Tidal Realm.
Yu Li didn't know why, nor did she know whether she should continue to answer Dumartin's question.
Yu Li tried to ask Angor for help, but Angor didn't say anything.
Yu Li didn't say anything. Subconsciously, it didn't want to reveal the information about the Tidal Realm to the existences of other worlds.
Angor didn't think too much about Yu Li's decision. No matter what Yu Li said, Angor was going to tell Brute Cavern about the Tidal Realm sooner or later.
Angor didn't want to keep it a secret. He just wanted to give the elemental creatures some time to prepare so that they could go to Magoo's place for a discussion.
But if Yu Li told him in advance, he wouldn't mind telling Yu Li about the Tide Realm right now.
But since Rain Civet chose to remain silent, Angor decided to go along with it. When Dumartin couldn't get an answer from Yu Li and looked at Angor again, Angor simply shrugged.
Angor's reaction indicated that he wouldn't tell Dumartin about the Tide Realm for now.
Yu Li made up her mind that she wouldn't tell anyone about the Tide Realm. At the same time, she was glad that the traveling frog couldn't talk. Otherwise, that idiot would probably tell Dumartin about the Tide Realm.
Dumartin narrowed his eyes and stared at Angor. He didn't know how to react to Angor's reaction.
"His Excellency Rhine asked if you were the one who met the creature near the Marginalized Island," Dumartin said. "You denied that answer."
Angor looked at Dumartin and realized what he was trying to say.
"But you only denied that you weren't there. You didn't deny that you weren't at the Marginalized Island." Dumartin lowered his voice. "As for the most famous story in the wizarding world, I'm sure you all know about it."
After a short pause, Dumartin smiled and said, "Congratulations."
Yu Li didn't understand Dumartin's "congratulations", but the others did.
The most famous unsolved mystery in the wizarding world was "The Mystery of the Disappearance of Elements at the Marginalized Island", which was always hanging on the top of the questing halls of major organizations.
The fact that Angor found two different elemental creatures at the Marginalized Island already made the answer obvious.
There was a high chance that Angor had solved the mystery of the Marginalized Island.
That was why Dumartin congratulated Angor.
Angor didn't say anything about it. He just smiled and let it go.
He already knew that they would figure something out when he exposed the two elemental creatures. But even if they did, what could they do?
If he didn't admit the existence of the Tide Realm, it would still remain a mystery.
Besides, Angor also knew that no one would force him to answer if he really didn't want to.
Dumartin, for example, was obviously angry, but in the end, he didn't ask any further questions and only gave up on trying to find out the answer.
If Dumartin was like this, the others would be even more so.
Rein and Iron Granny, for example, were smiling without saying a word. They knew that Angor must have his reasons for not telling them. When the time was right, Angor would tell them.
Angor glanced at Sunders, expecting the old man to smile like Rein and Iron Granny. Sunders was the only one who would support Angor's decision. Sunders didn't say anything, but he didn't smile either. Angor also noticed the strange look in his eyes.
It was a mixture of doubt, understanding, lamentation, and helplessness that was both resentful and angry.
"Professor, what's wrong?" Angor was going to keep quiet, but the strange look in Sunders' eyes forced him to speak up.
Sunders saw his own reflection in Angor's eyes.
He also seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his eyes. He coughed and restrained his unnaturalness. Then, he said, "Come with me later. I have something to tell you."
"It's about Sumesh."
"Oh." Angor nodded. It seemed that Sunders already knew what kind of power Sumesh was going to inherit.
Due to the strange atmosphere, they stopped talking for now.
Angor looked at Rain Fox and Traveling Frog. "You two will stay with Dumartin from now on."
Rain Fox and Traveling Frog didn't agree.
Dumartin approached Angor. His eyes were no longer showing any emotion. "Iron Granny seems to like them. Let them stay with her for now. They can learn about the dream wasteland first."
"Then, you …"
"I'll prepare a report first. When an elemental creature enters the dream wasteland, it will be affected by the power of law, which is different from when it's created by pure mana. When I'm done, I'll go find them. "
"I'll be going now," Dumartin said. "By the way, thank you for bringing me here today."
Dumartin nodded at Angor and left for the new city.
After Dumartin left, Angor introduced Iron Granny to Rain Fox and Traveling Frog.
Maybe it was because of Iron Granny's gentle appearance, or because she was a woman. Both Yutani and the Traveler's Frog were less wary of Iron Granny than the others.
That was why they didn't refuse when Iron Granny offered to take them for a walk. The Traveling Frog even jumped onto Iron Granny's hand.
Yu Li, on the other hand, followed Iron Granny's footsteps and left.
Since Iron Granny was gone, Rein didn't plan to stay any longer.
Before leaving, Rein suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Dodoro came to the art exhibition and said something."
"Huh?"
"He said, 'Over there. Watch out for the void.'"
Rein paused. "I don't know what he meant. He didn't explain. However, since he has already spoken, you still have to pay more attention. "
Angor considered for a moment and nodded. "I see."
Rein patted Angor's shoulder and left without saying anything else.
After everyone left, only Angor and Sunders were left in the room.
