They spent almost a week in the Tidal Realm.
First, they went to the Maraya Iceberg, then traveled along the Sea of Gentle Waves, and finally reached the Verdant Plain.
Along the way, they met Icefrost Yaser, Gentle Wind Uranus, and Flourishing Gramme, who lived by the Lake of Birth in the depths of the Verdant Plain. Apart from Flourishing Gramme, they were all good friends. Therefore, Rhine's talks with them went smoothly. There were some differences in the details, but with the Witch's Confession, the differences were slowly resolved as they probed each other's bottom line.
Their meeting with Flourishing Gramme didn't cause too much of a stir.
White Cloud Village was located on the Verdant Plain. After years of living together, Angor and White Cloud Village always had a good relationship. They first went to see Gentle Wind Uranus, then went to the Lake of Birth. With Uranus the Soft Wind as a companion, although Flamboyant Gramma had some complaints, they were all unimportant small details. In the end, she still joined the flood named after the general trend.
After dealing with Flourishing Gramme, they didn't leave immediately. Instead, they returned to Wind Island, where White Cloud Village was located.
First of all, he was not in a rush, and this place was not far from the Fire Zone, so he could rest at Wind Island for a day or two. Secondly, he still had some subordinates on Wind Island, so he could take them with him.
There was another important reason for them to stay here. Nai Meicui and Icefrost Yaser rarely visited Wind Island, so they decided to take this opportunity to visit the Fire Zone. They both wanted to see the paintings left behind by Feng.
Sunders and Rhine saw the paintings in the dream wasteland, but they were created by Angor's illusions, which were different from real paintings. They were also curious to see if there were any secrets hidden in the paintings left behind by Feng.
Since they all wanted to rest on Wind Island, it was natural for them to return to the island.
Once they returned to Wind Island, everyone except Angor went to the forbidden area and found Feng's studio.
Rhine and Sunders soon returned from the studio. The paintings were indeed Feng's, but they didn't find anything strange. The most unusual thing in the studio was the Mystery aura left behind by Feng's runes.
Both Rein and Sunders had mastered Polymorph spells, so they quickly found the source of the Mystery aura and Feng Suo's rune.
Sunders recognized the rune right away. It was "Mad Hatter's Coronation", but he did not say it out loud. Feng's rune was so ugly. If it was Angor who drew it, the rune would never be visible to the naked eye, and there would not be so many mistakes.
Rhine also noticed it, but he did not know the nature of the mysterious mageweath. He guessed that Feng might have a mystic-grade brush and used it to draw this mysterious mageweath. After all, Feng was an artist, and it made sense for him to have a mystic-grade brush.
As Feng Yu was not around, Rhine did not mind and let this matter pass.
When they returned from the studio, they saw Angor leaning against a pillar by the palace gate while looking at the clouds in the distance.
"Didn't you say you're going to White Bay to meet your men?" Rein asked.
When they went to the studio, Angor told them that he was going to White Bay Bay to meet his subordinates. However, when they came back, they saw Angor still staying in the palace.
"I told Lobell to go to White Bay Bay first and let him talk to the wind creatures. I'll go there tomorrow," Angor said.
"You're worried that they won't obey you?" Rhine immediately understood.
"They have to keep their promise even if they don't want to," Angor said. "I told Lobell to go there first to ease the tension between us and avoid future troubles."
After all, his men would have to work for him for at least 20 years. He could force them to obey his orders, but he preferred the latter if he could get along with them peacefully.
So, for the sake of peace in the next 20 years, he did not mind wasting one day.
"If you told Lobell to go there, why are you still standing there?" Rhine was in a good mood, so he followed Angor's gaze.
They were at the palace complex on the highest mountain of Wind Island, where Gentle Wind Uranus arranged for them to stay. The palace complex was full of human style, but it was clearly not built by humans. It was also one of the most interesting buildings on Wind Island that Rhine could not help but admire.
Looking into the distance, Angor could see the silhouettes of palaces all over the mountain, as well as the eastern part of Wind Island, which was covered by the faint morning mist.
"I'm waiting for Wise Camus," Angor said.
Apart from the first meeting, Angor did not see Wise Camus in person since they returned to Wind Island.
This time, it was Wise Camus who took the initiative to invite him, hoping that they could meet.
Angor assumed that Wise Camus was here for Cub Bigg.
As it turned out, Angor's speculation was correct. Soon, Camus came and talked with Angor in private for about half an hour.
The content of their conversation, other than the meaningless greetings, revolved around Cupid's matters.
Camus hoped that Angor could keep Cub Bigg with him. Angor set Cub Bigg free as soon as he came to Wind Island, which meant Cub Bigg must have returned to Wise Camus.
From beginning to end, Angor did not say anything. It was obvious that he did not want to leave. Angor's impression of Cub Bigg changed a lot after spending some time together. However, he did not want to force Cub Bigg to stay with him.
Besides, Cub Bigg wanted to stay with Camus more than anything else.
Camus sighed deeply. "I'll talk to Cub Bigg again. If he still doesn't want to leave, I'll respect his decision."
With that, Camus left.
Angor wanted to ask if Cub Bigg was the consciousness of Camus' clone, but he decided against it since it involved Camus' privacy.
After Camus left, Angor returned to his palace.
Sunders and Rein were talking about Wind Island, mainly because Angor mentioned that he could build a branch of Brute Cavern here.
Angor thought about it because the island was suitable for wind creatures, and he planned to let his subordinates stay here. Another reason was the scenery of Wind Island. It was unique in the entire Tidal Realm. The beautiful scenery was also the reason why Feng chose to live here.
Besides, Wind Island's geographical location was also very special, which made it relatively safe. This was why Angor came up with such an idea.
However, Angor's consideration was too one-sided and idealistic.
No wizard organization would consider "scenery", "livable", and "safety" when building a branch. If the organization could not even ensure its safety, it would be pointless to build a branch.
When building a branch or base, wizard organizations would only consider two things: alliance and profit.
It was because of this consideration that most Adept organizations established their branches in the various Adept Bazaars, or in other words, in the territories under the jurisdiction of other Adept organizations. For example, supernatural cities such as Vensbyers and Floating Mech City.
Wind Island, on the other hand, did not meet these conditions in Rein's opinion.
However, since Angor was the one who suggested it, Rein decided to consider it seriously. After all, Angor seemed to have received a heavenly gift, and his decision might be in line with the general trend.
This was why Rein took the opportunity to discuss with Sunders about Wind Island.
Angor also listened to their discussion. As he learned more and more information, Angor realized that he was being a little irresponsible when he said that.
He was still too inexperienced, and he did not have a good understanding of the situation.
He wondered if he should take back his words.
Rein waved a hand and said, "Building a branch is one of our development strategies. It's also my job to consider the different places in Tidal Realm. The heavenly gift does affect my decision, but not too much. If this place is not suitable, I'll have other plans. "
Angor relaxed a lot after hearing this.
In the following conversation, Rein and Sunders began to deconstruct Wind Island. Later, even Gentle Wind Uranus joined them. After all, this was related to the future of Wind Island.
Through the deconstruction, he learned something he never paid attention to before, which was a rare experience for him.
The final result was that Wind Island was not suitable for a branch.
Unless Wind Island could leave the Green Plain and float in the sky above the entire continent. This way, Wind Island could build a mobile wizard market on top of the island. With a wizard market, the branch would be able to share the profits.
However, Rein could not make the decision for Wind Island to leave the Green Plain and enter an era of drifting. He had to consider the feelings of the wind creatures, as well as the relationships between different elemental territories.
Besides, the wizard market was built on the territory of wind creatures. Would the creatures not object?
Therefore, this was not only a matter of "people's livelihood", but also a matter of "diplomacy". Even Gentle Wind Uranus could not give an answer right away.
Gentle Wind Uranus left with a serious look. Before leaving, he also said that he would "think about it carefully". As for the result, no one was optimistic about it, including Angor.
In the following time, they chatted about other topics, most of which revolved around the Tidal Realm.
Angor suddenly paused in the middle of their conversation.
"What's wrong?" Sunders noticed Angor's strange behavior.
"Nothing. Torras wants to talk to me about something."
Earlier, he sensed Torras coming out of the dream wasteland and sending a weak signal to him through his bracelet.
"I think Ness' slab exploded again," said Sunders.
Rhine nodded. He had also heard about this from Iron Granny. He knew that Ness had been studying the slate, hoping to find the coordinates of the Cazider World from the constant fluctuations of the slate and open a path to the Soul Plane.
The passage to the Cazider World had always been controlled by three powerful Soul Families. Through plundering the benefits obtained from the Cazider World, these three Sorcerer Families' influence grew, to the point that they were comparable to some Sorcerer organizations.
The fact that a single passage could achieve such a feat naturally made many Adept organizations envious.
If Ness could really create such a passage, Rein would support it with both hands.
"I think so." Angor summoned Torras from his bracelet, as well as the stone slab and the Dream Whelk.
However, to everyone's surprise, Torras didn't mention Ness.
"Freud wants to talk to me? You're here for Ness, aren't you? Is Ness' stone slab still intact? "
Torras shook his head. "Not yet."
"Fine. What does Freud want from me?" Angor asked.
"I think it's about Sam." Torras didn't know the details either. He only heard Freud mention Sam.
But why did Freud want to see him? Freud could handle this on his own, so why did he need to see Angor? Moreover, he had come all the way from Origin City to the new city just to deliver a message to Torras?
Still, he didn't hesitate and entered the dream wasteland with Torras.
A moment later, Angor woke up from the dream wasteland.
"Did something happen on Freud's side?" asked Sunders.
"Sort of." Angor nodded. "There's a special undead creature near Star Lake Castle."
Angor told Sunders about the special undead creature, as well as what the Silver Heron Knights found out about the slave ritual 13 years ago.
Rein couldn't help but sigh. "Special undead creatures are rare. Little Sam, who's not even an apprentice, already attracted two of them. As expected of a Near-Spirit Body."
"Are you going there?"
Angor nodded. "Yes. Special undead creatures like Mirror's Wrath are rare. Torras hasn't learned any soul tricks yet, so I'll let him absorb the special energy of Mirror's Wrath and see if he can gain the ability to manipulate souls. "
If Torras wanted to absorb Mirror's Wrath, they would have to go to Star Lake Castle first.
Also, Mirror's Wrath was clearly coming for Sam, and it was already at the foot of the mountain where Star Lake Castle was located. There was no time to waste.
If they wanted to go, they would have to leave right away.
Neither Sunders nor Rein objected to Angor's decision.
"I'll be back as soon as possible."
Rein nodded. "Don't worry. Just make sure you're back before the party."
