There was something wrong with the Mystery ripple coming from the crown.
But Angor didn't know what exactly was wrong.
However, compared to the Dream Whelk's mysterious wave, the Crimson Crown's mysterious wave seemed a little unnatural.
He wondered if he should tell Thewis about it.
But he decided against it. Eureka had been using the crown for a long time, so she probably didn't need to be reminded.
There was one more thing he didn't understand. Until now, he still did not know what the effect of the Crimson Crown was.
The night wind blew in through the window and chilled his cheeks. Angor sighed in relief. He had already decided not to get involved in Kuman's secret. The more he thought about it, the easier it would be for him to get lost.
So he decided to leave it all behind.
Angor spent the whole night writing on the desk. With the help of Transcription spell, he finished a thick book called Notes for Beginner Apprentices in the early morning.
Half a month ago, Angor learned that Leon was a Bloodline Wizard, which was why he decided to write this book.
Most wizards only taught "understanding" apprentices, and they rarely explained things in detail. Instead, they would give the apprentices a general idea and let them study it on their own. Thewis was currently distracted by external affairs, so it was even more impossible for him to explain some basic problems to Leon.
Besides, Leon wasn't going to leave Padt Manor anytime soon, so Thewis couldn't do any research.
In order to prevent Leon from going astray, Angor spent the whole night writing this experiential handbook.
Apart from Angor's beginner experience, most of the book contained basic knowledge, as well as some basic applications of technical branches, such as alchemy and runes. Angor also recorded the basic methods of learning them. If Leon was talented enough, Angor would not hesitate to teach him in the future.
He did have some records about the current situation in the wizarding world. However, what he knew was mostly superficial, and he could not get a more in-depth view of it. Still, it was enough for Leon, who had just entered the supernatural world.
After finishing the book, Angor read through it once and was satisfied with what he learned. He considered all the possible problems Leon might face in the future. To avoid missing anything, Angor decided to ask someone else.
After activating the Geometric Lock, the surrounding area was immediately surrounded by lines full of geometric beauty.
He took out the Dream Whelk and pulled the "Notes for Beginner Apprentices" into his dream before entering the dream wasteland.
With the book in hand, he found Freud on the top floor of Firmament Tower.
When Angor arrived, Freud was working on a large number of reports in his office. A woman in a luxurious long dress was talking to Freud in a low voice.
The woman frowned. She was about to scold the intruder for being rude when Freud stepped forward with a respectful look.
"You're finally here, Mister!" Freud was pleasantly surprised.
Angor nodded and glanced at the desk full of papers. "You're busier than before."
Freud chuckled awkwardly. "I've already chosen a few substitute city lords, and these are the proposals they came up with. I'm going to pick a real city lord from them. After I'm done with this, I'll be able to relax in the future. "
With that, Freud signaled the woman to leave with a meaningful look.
The woman didn't question Angor's identity, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she bowed to both Freud and Angor and left the room.
"She's the one from before?" Angor waited for the woman to leave before he asked.
She was the only person in the entire dream wasteland who had the power of "Gatekeeper". If Angor wanted to, he could give her the power.
"Yes. Her name is Monroe. I was only considering her as a substitute city lord, but Mister Freud told me that she's suitable for the power of "Gatekeeper", so I paid more attention to her. I discovered that among all the candidates for the City Lord, her abilities and methods are the best. " Freud couldn't help but sigh. "Many people in Foundation City have noticed the anomaly in the dream wasteland. Even the candidates who are in charge of the city have their own guesses, but none of them revealed their true thoughts to me."
Freud pointed at the documents on the table. "Their proposals are all reasonable. They might work well in the real world, but they never really took the dream wasteland into consideration.
"Monroe, on the other hand, has taken the abnormalities of Foundation City into consideration. I'm more and more inclined to let her manage the city."
Freud's compliment piqued Angor's curiosity.
He saw Monroe's plan for governing the city on the table, so he simply picked it up and looked at it.
While reading Monroe's proposal, he also handed the "Notes for Beginner Apprentices" to Freud and asked him to check if there were any mistakes.
After reading Monroe's proposal, Angor saw that Freud was still flipping through the pages, so he picked up the other candidates' proposals and started reading.
It took him a while to figure out what was going on.
Monroe's proposal might not be practical, but she had a clearer view than the other candidates.
Since ancient times, most of the Thai rulers liked smart people, but they didn't like people who were too smart.
The other candidates were smart enough to know what to write, what to ask, what to shut up, and what to close their eyes. Therefore, the proposed plan seemed very stable. Although it was not outstanding, it was enough to preserve what had been achieved. It was the type of plan that the ruler would use.
Monroe, on the other hand, pointed out everything clearly. She even went so far as to say that this world might be an unexplored afterlife, where all the people here were undead, and Foundation City was just an outpost for exploring the wasteland.
It wasn't Monroe's fault. It was just a matter of her limited vision.
In the real world, Monroe's bluntness might cause dissatisfaction among the higher-ups.
But this was the dream wasteland, a world of supernaturals. No matter how smart the mortals were, they would still be limited by their limits. Therefore, the supernaturals preferred smart, practical, and honest mortals. Monroe was one of them.
Freud once told him about Monroe's past. She was able to rise from a small country to the upper class of the Central Empire by using her connections. She was a smart woman who knew how to make decisions.
She had deviated from the type of role that ordinary rulers loved. She had completely deviated from the methods of the other candidates. It was not that she was ignorant or reckless, but that she had truly seen through the thoughts of the upper echelons.
Freud was right to praise her for her cleverness.
Some of Monroe's proposals weren't practical, but Angor appreciated them too. For example, Monroe wrote that if Foundation City wanted to be recognized by the people, it needed to build a city history first. Whether it was real or not, it needed to have a solid foundation. Apart from that, it was also necessary to make the citizens useful. Writing books and teaching also had to be taken into consideration.
Angor didn't care about other political ideas. However, he, Jon, and the other wizards all agreed with each other when it came to academic research. As for academic research, it was best to integrate books, teaching, and knowledge into one.
Angor put down Monroe's proposal. Judging from Freud's personality, Monroe should be the city lord of Foundation City.
He didn't participate in the development of Foundation City, but it was still the first settlement he built in the dream wasteland. He hoped that Foundation City could develop and create a better social environment for Jon.
As for Monroe, she should be a pretty good person in charge.
"What do you think, mister?" Freud put down his book and asked curiously.
"They're all smart people. But you're right. Monroe can see the situation better than them," Angor said.
Freud knew what to do when he heard Angor's opinion. Putting Monroe aside, Freud began to talk about himself in the "Notes for Beginner Apprentices".
Freud spent decades in the wizarding world. He might have died in the end, but his knowledge and experience were much better than Angor's.
Besides, Angor wrote the book for Leon. Leon was a Bloodline Master, and Angor knew too little about it. Most of the training methods he read were from books, which might not be suitable for beginners.
Freud knew many Bloodline apprentices when he was in the Tower of Hurricane, so he knew a lot more about them than Angor did.
With Freud's help, Angor soon found the second edition of Notes for Beginners.
"This book is good enough for level-1 and level-2 apprentices," Freud said. Freud sighed. He had to try many different ways to find the correct path. If he had this book, he wouldn't have to waste so much time.
"Good. I'm going back to the Fey Continent soon. I'll give these to Leon," Angor said.
"Sir, before you go back to Fey Continent, can you come to the Land of Revelation for a bit?" Freud asked in a shy tone.
"Huh?" Angor looked at Freud in confusion.
Freud lowered his head in shame. "I only have single digits left. I don't even dare to go to the wasteland."
It took Angor a moment to realize what Freud meant.
The "dream wasteland" he made for Freud had a limit of 979 entries.
Freud would use up one entry each time he entered the dream wasteland. Now that he brought so many test subjects to Foundation City, he had to use up even more entries.
Angor considered and nodded. "Alright. I'll fly to the Land of Revelation and give you more entries. I have something to do at Lloyds anyway."
