The new city was under construction in the dream wasteland.
Leona was on the top floor of Rosewater House. She stood on a tall billboard with a blueprint in her hand, overlooking most of the construction site. Sometimes she shook her head, sometimes she nodded. Her eyes showed that she was deep in thought.
"Something's wrong here. Who's in charge of the Cloud Street in the southeast? Why is it different from the blueprint?" Leona frowned. She called out the person in charge of the area, took out the Mother Tree Communicator, and quickly communicated with him.
"Damn it. It's another self-improvement. Do they really think they're better than the original designer?"
Leona cursed and yelled at the mother-tree communicator.
The person in charge trembled in fear. He didn't dare to object and immediately ordered his subordinates to modify the design.
When Leona put down the mother-tree connector, she was still a little angry. She glared at the southeast area, as if she wanted to supervise them from beginning to end and see the results of their modifications.
"What's wrong, Leona? I heard your voice when I was still downstairs. "A lazy male voice came from behind.
Leona looked back and saw a bare-chested man leaning against the door frame on the top floor, looking at her.
Beside him were three Dream Plant Flower Demons of different shapes and colors. They floated around him and seemed to be very close to the man.
"Mister Tree Spirit." Leona glanced at the man and calmed down. "How come you have time to come up here?"
"I was drinking tea with Iron Granny downstairs. But she took Yuli to Dumartin's place. I had nothing to do, so I came up to take a look," said Tree Spirit.
Leona looked at the three Dream Plant Flower Spirits next to Tree Spirit.
"I met them on the way here. They were planting flowers outside the building. I brought them here."
But Leona did not doubt that explanation. Speaking of which, many Dream Plant Flower Spirits had come to the new city recently. At first, Leona was quite happy. After all, their arrival meant that the city's plants would flourish. However, these Dream Plant Flower Spirits were a bit naughty. They would often crawl all over the gray walls of a building before it was finished. It looked like an abandoned building. Once or twice was fine, but recently, it was happening more and more often. Leona felt it was getting troublesome.
Fortunately, Tree Spirit stood up. Tree Spirit seemed to have a natural affinity with the Dream Plant Fairies. Most of the Dream Plant Fairies liked to stay by Tree Spirit's side. With Tree Spirit's arrangement, the construction went back to normal.
Therefore, Leona was very grateful to Tree Spirit.
Tree Spirit said, "I heard you flipping out again. What's wrong?"
Leona sighed and showed the drawing to Tree Spirit. She then pointed to the southeast and said, "The building over there is different from the drawing. Some details are completely different. The fountain on the roof is also missing."
"A fountain on the roof? What kind of design is this?" Tree Spirit was puzzled.
Leona grumbled. "There are a lot of designs in the new city's blueprint that subverts our imaginations. I also asked Mr. Jon about it. He told me that it's strange to look at them individually, but it's an overall layout that requires a unified style. Not a single one can be missing. Also, it looks like the top of the building, but to the buildings next to it, it's actually the first floor of a block. "
"The first floor of the block?"
"Yes, it's a staggered design. The top of the building itself is a Sky Street. There's more than one Sky Street like this. To the people who will live in the Sky Street in the future, that's the first floor, not the top floor. "
Tree Spirit was still confused. It was the first time he had come across such a strange urban style.
However, Tree Spirit did not refute. He believed in Jon's design skills and Leona's judgment. "And then?"
"A few self-righteous apprentices over there said that it's wrong. They changed it without consulting the person in charge and put the fountain on the ground floor. They said it's only logical."
"Putting the fountain on the ground floor? I know this kind of landscape design. It's indeed normal. But now, this new city is going to be built in a special style. It's going to be the first time the witches see it at the tea party. Who wants a normal design? The more special it is, the more rebellious it is, the more people will talk about it. Also, this is to unify the architectural style of the whole city. Naturally, we can't let them mess around. "
The more Leona talked, the angrier she got. This kind of thing kept happening recently. She was not interested in a city with a normal style at all. She was more convinced by Jon's idea.
"I don't want the city to end up like Inception City."
"I understand. But you don't have to compare it to Inception City. Normal cities are better built than First Heart City. "
Leona nodded in agreement. "You're right."
Tree Spirit stood beside Leona and looked down at the construction site. "This scene reminds me of the time when the Mirror World was first built. It was full of vigor and vitality." Tree Spirit sighed.
"I have to say, Brute Cavern has changed a lot since Angor joined the organization. It's good, right? "
"Of course it's good," Tree Spirit replied.
Leona asked, "Speaking of which, did you find out anything about Yu Li and the Traveling Frog?"
"Traveling Frog can't talk yet, and Yuku is a tight-lipped person." Tree Spirit shrugged. "Nothing for now. But we don't need to ask too many details. We can get a lot of information just from daily interactions."
"What will happen if we combine all the information?" Leona asked.
"I can't say for sure yet. But I think it will be another unprecedented change."
While they were talking, the three Dream Plant Fairies that were floating around the Tree Spirit suddenly froze and looked in a certain direction.
Leona was the first to notice their change. She looked in the direction they were looking at.
However, it was calm on the other side. The glimmer of dawn made the remaining white on the horizon shine with a golden brilliance.
After being stunned for a while, the Dream Plant Fairies began to communicate with each other in whispers.
"What's wrong?" Leona asked curiously. The Dream Plant Fairies' language was unique. It was not a symbolic language. Even someone who understood all languages would not be able to understand what they were saying. However, if the Dream Plant Fairies could communicate with their spirit power, it was possible to understand them directly. However, most Dream Plant Fairies would not do that.
Leona had to ask Tree Spirit for help.
In the eyes of the Dream Plant Fairies, Tree Spirit was indeed different. He easily integrated into their mental communication.
After a while, Tree Spirit said, "I don't know the details yet. I only know that there seems to be a natural vacuum zone in that direction. "
"Natural vacuum zone? What do you mean? "
"Literally. In that area, a large amount of tree energy has been disconnected from the Mother Tree's network. It seems to be a barren area without any natural power."
The entire dream wasteland was an extension of the Mother Tree's consciousness. Because of this, there were many nodes that allowed the Dream Plant Fairies to communicate across countless distances.
But just a moment ago, all the nodes in that area had disappeared. The disappearance of such a large area immediately attracted the attention of all the Dream Plant Fairies.
This was why the three Dream Plant Spirits were in a daze. They were actually communicating through the Mother Tree's network.
"A vacuum zone without any natural power. That's strange. Did something happen? Should we go check it out? "Leona asked worriedly.
Tree Spirit shook his head. "According to the Dream Plant Fairies, the location is quite far away from the new city. It's not on the airship's route either. It's an extremely remote area that no humans have ever set foot in. With our current strength, it'll take us at least a month to get there. "
"I think it's Angor," Tree Spirit said. There were no enemies in the dream wasteland at the moment. The biggest threat was the evil creatures. Even if evil creatures appeared, they wouldn't create a natural vacuum zone.
Therefore, Tree Spirit believed that Angor was trying to do something.
"Is it Angor?" Leona mumbled and took out the Mother Tree Communicator from her pocket. She then opened a chat with Angor.
A moment later, Leona looked up and relaxed. "Yes, it's Angor."
Leona waved the Mother Tree Communicator's screen, and Tree Spirit saw Angor's reply. "Yeah."
"That's pretty useful," Tree Spirit muttered. Why didn't he think of using the Mother Tree Communicator earlier?
Leona nodded and continued to ask about Angor's situation. "Yeah, it's pretty useful. My student, Kudou, is in the development team right now. I heard they're working on something called 'boundless information' and 'handheld entertainment'. Sounds good. "
Leona couldn't help but exclaim, "If only there's a Mother Tree Communicator like this in the real world. Then I won't have to see crystal balls everywhere."
Tree Spirit nodded in agreement.
"Ding!" Leona looked at the screen again. "Angor replied. He said it's just a small experiment. He also asked if Mister Rein is here. He has something to discuss with Mister Rein."
Tree Spirit said, "Tell him that Rhine is guarding the ruins. If he needs help, I'll go find him. "
"Angor said it's fine if Mister Rein isn't here. He'll come see you later."
Tree Spirit nodded. "Tell him I'll wait for him here —"
Before Tree Spirit could finish, he heard a familiar voice. "Don't bother Leona. I'm already here."
Tree Spirit turned around and saw a figure of light appearing behind him. The figure quickly condensed and revealed Angor's face.
Tree Spirit was about to say something when he suddenly noticed something and looked at Angor's feet.
An elegant silhouette slowly slithered out from behind Angor and stopped at his feet.
It was a small, green snake.
It looked like an ordinary snake, but for some reason, its scales were soft and smooth. Under the sunlight, they seemed to be shining in a faint green light.
The snake's eyes were bright yellow, while its pupils were pure gold without any impurities. It looked cold and solemn.
The snake wasn't too big. Even when it raised its head, it still couldn't reach a man's knee. However, its eyes were filled with the arrogance of a god looking down on mortals.
Leona also noticed the snake as soon as she saw it.
Out of curiosity, she tried to use her spirit feelers to check the snake's condition. However, when she tried to use her spirit feelers, the snake turned around and stared at her quietly.
Although the snake didn't do anything, Leona felt her heartbeat quicken and her breathing quicken under its gaze. It was as if there was a heavy pressure pressing down on her heart. She didn't dare to look it in the eye.
Out of instinct, Leona looked away.
When she came back to her senses, Leona realized what she had done. She couldn't help but be surprised. Why did she subconsciously avoid his gaze?
Tree Spirit was also staring at the snake, but he didn't use his power of the will to detect it. He could sense that the snake was surrounded by the Force of Nature.
Furthermore, it could be seen from the fact that the three Dream Plant Fairies abandoned the tree spirit without hesitation and happily danced around the snake.
"Is it … a wood elemental creature?" Tree Spirit asked. Although it was a question, his tone was firm. After saying that, Tree Spirit added another sentence in his heart: Powerful wood elemental creature.
"Yes." Angor nodded to Tree Spirit and spoke to the snake respectfully, "Miss Nai Meicui, they're from Brute Cavern."
"This is Tree Spirit, one of the three ancestor souls of Brute Cavern. And this is Leona, an alchemist who specializes in perfumery."
"Mister Tree Spirit, Leona, this is Miss Nai Meicui from the Tidal Realm."
Angor gave a simple introduction. It sounded like an ordinary conversation, but there was a lot of information hidden in it.
Leona and Tree Spirit exchanged a glance. They looked calm on the surface, but their minds were in turmoil.
Angor just called a snake by its name?!
Moreover, the Tidal Realm, the Tidal Realm …
Leona and Tree Spirit didn't want to act too surprised in front of Angor, who might be an elemental monster.
They put on a casual look and greeted Nai Meicui with a smile.
Nai Meicui nodded in response. She glanced at Leona, Tree Spirit, and the three Dream Plant sprites … and finally stopped at Tree Spirit.
"You're a wood creature as well?" Nai Meicui sensed a faint aura of nature from Tree Spirit, but it was different from the other wood creatures she was familiar with.
"No, I'm just a spirit."
