At first, Angel thought this "book" was a metaphorical reference within the prophecy system. But after the term "book" appeared three times in a row, with different contexts connected, Angel realized his initial understanding seemed to be incorrect. This "book" might actually exist.
Moreover, listening to Feng’s tone, this book is the reason he came to the Tidal World, and it seems to be related to those who came following in Feng’s footsteps?
"The ’book’ Mr. Feng mentioned, I have heard it twice from Your Highness, does Your Highness know what this ’book’ is?" Angel quickly inquired.
Frost Iser: "I don’t know either. Mr. Feng indeed mentions the book from time to time, but he has never elaborated on what the book is."
Frost Iser’s response left Angel a little disappointed. However, he vaguely felt in his heart that this "book" was definitely not simple.
Because from Feng’s tone, he even had an illusion: it seemed the one setting the trap was not Feng, but this book.
If this is true, then it is quite astonishing.
It’s important to note that Soft Wind Uranos didn’t know that Feng had been here six hundred years ago, so its statement "My arrival is a Chapter of fate written by that book" refers to Feng’s arrival in the Tidal World three thousand years ago, not six hundred years ago.
In other words, if the one setting the trap was the book, then it actually started setting the trap three thousand years ago!
Of course, this is merely a guess by Angel without any evidence. Moreover, a book setting such a long-term plan sounds unreliable.
Furthermore, the "book" itself shouldn’t have the ability to set plans, it should still be the plan of the person who possesses the "book."
Unless this book is a Mysterious Object.
But if there truly is such a Mysterious Object, it must be renowned, and there should be a record of it in Culori’s register of Mysterious Objects.
Yet Angel hasn’t discovered anything similar, so either Culori didn’t record it, or it simply doesn’t exist. Angel leans toward the latter.
Angel temporarily put aside his speculation about the "book": "Then what exactly is the treasure left by Mr. Feng?"
Frost Iser instead asked: "The first thing you are concerned about is the ’book’, without thinking about the prerequisites for obtaining the treasure... Does this mean you seem confident in obtaining the treasure? Are you already in possession of the prerequisites for obtaining the treasure?"
Angel did not answer. In his view, the prerequisite for obtaining the treasure is most likely completing the ’Abyssal Demon God Instance’ and then gaining Odeclass’s favor to receive the Augmented Flourish Pattern Key.
If a low-probability event occurs where the prerequisite is not the Augmented Flourish Pattern Key, then he would find another solution at that time.
Frost Iser didn’t mind Angel not answering and continued: "I don’t know the exact nature of the treasure either. However, I once heard Nami Midori mention that after Mr. Feng placed the treasure there, he regretted it for a long time; from that point on, he was reluctant to return to the place where he stored the treasure, for fear that he would regret it. Later, when he left, he looked at the direction of the treasure from afar. That reluctance in his eyes was genuine."
Which means, no one knows what the treasure is; but its value should not be low.
Angel: "If he was reluctant to part with it, why leave it there?"
Frost Iser: "Who knows, perhaps he feels that leaving the treasure for future generations is more valuable than keeping it for himself."
Angel did not comment on this.
"Then does Your Highness know where Mr. Feng placed the treasure?" Angel asked the most crucial question.
"In the Void."
This answer was not unexpected, as Frost Iser had hinted at it before: "So, as Your Highness mentioned, Mr. Feng took you to the Void to hide the treasure..."
Frost Iser shook his head: "No, I went to the Void when Mr. Feng was leaving, and I asked him to take me outside for a look. Mr. Feng took me to the Void once. That piece of Void is not where the treasure is."
Angel: "Then where in the Void is the treasure located?"
Frost Iser: "The Void corresponding to the world center."
"World center?" Angel’s mind quickly went through the map of the Tidal World. Does it refer to the center of the continent? Or is it the center position of the entire world plane chart?
Angel voiced his thoughts.
Frost Iser shook his head decisively: "Neither."
"Then where is the Void corresponding to the world center?"
Frost Iser: "I don’t know either."
Angel: "..."
"Although I don’t know where the world center refers to, I know how to find the Void where the treasure is," Frost Iser paused, and under Angel’s expectant gaze, slowly said, "You can go to the Green Forest Domain to find Nami Midori. When Mr. Feng placed the treasure in the Void, Nami Midori accompanied him."
Hearing this, Angel rubbed his temples, feeling a bit troubled.
He had originally thought he could get all the information from Frost Iser, but to his surprise, to obtain complete information, he still had to seek out Nami Midori.
This is simply like advancing through one level after another, having to meet all the elemental creatures who were closest to Feng back then!
Could this also be part of Feng’s calculations? Layer by layer, only at the end do you get the treasure?
Although Angel couldn’t help but complain internally, he was also prepared to meet Nami Midori, because Nami Midori was the one who spent the longest time with Feng. Now knowing that to find the treasure, he must meet Nami Midori, means he cannot avoid it no matter whom he bypasses.
"Alright, then my next stop will be the Green Forest Domain." Angel: "Before that, could Your Highness tell me about Nami Midori?"
Back then, when Mr. Magu mentioned Soft Wind Uranos, Frost Iser, and Nami Midori, the information about Nami Midori was the least detailed, and the tone was the most cautious, even more so than with Frost Iser.
Angel had also asked many sages and elemental monarchs along the way, but they knew very little about Nami Midori’s details.
Only Soft Wind Uranos had talked about Nami Midori, but the content was also limited.
In Soft Wind Uranos’s words, Nami Midori is an incredibly powerful entity, with strength not inferior to any monarch. The lack of a prefix title is because its heart is not in it.
