After adjustments, the transparent thin plates can be used to enter the surface network.
Sanders even sent a text message to Angel within the tree group to confirm the usability of the transparent thin plates.
Then Sanders left with the transparent thin plate.
In reality, Sanders also bid farewell to Angel, first preparing to return to the Mirror World and then immediately search for the whereabouts of Sumishe.
Although Sanders had left, Angel could still perceive Sanders’ frequent logins to the surface network through the Authority of the "Tree Civilization" in the subsequent hours. Initially, Sanders didn’t speak a word, seemingly observing in secret.
Much later, Sanders left a comment under a post titled "Tabletop Development Content" on the Mother Tree Forum, inquiring about some details not mentioned in the article.
Jon happened to see Sanders’ comment and started a back-and-forth exchange with him on the forum.
Kudodo and Babaya also noticed their intellectual exchange on the forum but only dared to be onlookers, silently keeping quiet... Especially after knowing that the black bubble represented Sanders, they estimated that for a long time in the future, they would only read forum posts and never dare to comment, fearing to provoke Sanders due to exposing their ignorance.
After all, cases of ignorant remarks angering Official Wizards are everywhere in the Wizards’ Realm... some outcomes are too tragic to behold.
However, Angel didn’t pay attention to the forum exchanges, as after discussing the surface network with Jon for a short while, he left the library.
Angel didn’t choose to return to reality but instead used the Authority of the "Gate of Dreams" to investigate the positions of the wizards.
Ironclad Granny was in a newly opened flower tea shop, sipping tea and looking at the newly grown flowers outside the shop, seemingly contemplating something.
Wallace was near Pat Manor, not having discovered that Pat Manor was Angel’s residence, but simply because it belonged to the center of a high magic area, studying virtual Magic Power with shining eyes.
Lianna and the Tree Spirit had left the high magic area to go outside the city. However, they didn’t travel together, and their directions were not the same.
Angel hovered in mid-air for a while, riding an unprovoked gust of wind towards the outskirts of the city.
Not long after, Angel arrived at a small valley approximately ten miles from Originheart City.
The surroundings of the valley were covered with lush green grass and sprinkled with small flowers, and at the top of the valley, a solitary large tree stood alone.
Under the tree sat a man nearly devoid of clothing, listening to the wind while pretending to nap.
This was the Tree Spirit, who had parted ways with Lianna outside the city.
Angel’s arrival carried a gust created by the Celestial Alternation, so even though the Tree Spirit’s Perception had become extremely weak, it detected the oncoming strong wind.
He opened his eyes and saw Angel suspended amidst the wind.
"Oh, Angel, what brings you here?"
Looking at the lazy-faced Tree Spirit opposite, Angel slowly descended: "Nothing much, just came to see you, Tree Spirit Lord."
Though he said this, Angel’s gaze was fixed on the Tree Spirit, and the Ability Tree in his Mind Space quivered slightly, seemingly performing some sort of work.
The Tree Spirit mistakenly assumed Angel wanted to know why he and Lianna had parted ways, and with a smile, he explained: "Lianna and I took a stroll around Originheart City, and she complained that the construction of the city was too rough, with various styles mixed together and lacking a rational city plan. She didn’t like it. She definitely wouldn’t hold the tea party in Originheart City, so she planned to look outside for a suitable place..."
Angel: "..." So criticizing city planning has become a daily consensus, huh.
Tree Spirit: "Speaking of which, I’m also a bit curious about who the builder of Originheart City is, with such... imaginative design."
Why add insult to injury?
Angel: "Who knows..." Although acting indifferent, Angel internally decided to push for rapid progress on the New City construction immediately upon returning. Once the New City is constructed, everyone newly arriving will all be directed to the New City, and then there would be no criticisms but a feeling of amazement!
The Tree Spirit seemed to notice something, smiled without continuing the sorrowful topic: "However, personally I think since you’ve decided to establish a branch of the tea party in the Wilderness of Dreams, you must have already evaluated the location, no need to run outside the city."
"However, Lianna didn’t listen and insisted on looking around outside herself."
Angel nodded knowingly, estimating that this was why the Tree Spirit and Lianna would part ways.
But Angel was a bit confused, as the Tree Spirit, having such foresight, knew he would have selected a suitable location for the tea party in advance, so why leave Originheart City too?
It’s known that many areas outside Originheart City aren’t high magic areas, with low virtual Magic Power concentration, possibly unable to cast even second-level Tricks. Otherwise, the Tree Spirit wouldn’t have taken a long day to get just ten miles away from Originheart City.
"I left Originheart City because I discovered something interesting," the Tree Spirit slowly stood up and looked back at the solitary tree on the hill.
"From the moment I entered this land, I’ve noticed something about every grass and tree here that gives me a very peculiar feeling."
The Tree Spirit slowly paced towards the big tree, lightly touching his forehead to the tree trunk, as if listening to its heartbeat.
This seemingly mundane action, in Angel’s eyes, carried an unusual feeling. Especially when the Tree Spirit pressed his forehead against the trunk, Angel almost saw that towering giant tree in a distant land stretching its old branches comfortably, swaying gently with the wind.
Angel: "Tree Spirit Lord, what is the feeling you are talking about?"
The Tree Spirit shrugged: "It’s hard to describe, but I can clearly feel a consciousness in a certain direction that makes me feel close. It seems to want to convey something to me, so I plan to go and see."
At this point, how could Angel not understand? It’s the Civilization’s Mother Tree resonating with the Tree Spirit, the central core that revitalizes the Wilderness of Dreams—
Civilization’s Mother Tree.
