“What are you worried about?” In Angel’s view, Ollie was not old and, as far as he knew, she rarely left Gru Town. It seemed she had only been taken to Waterford once because of a procurement issue by Knight Swoki, which was the farthest she had ever been from home.
Ollie was young and had always lived in a small community, so experiencing the outside world should have made it easier for her to adapt. Angel did not understand why Ollie seemed more troubled than the others.
However, Angel’s perspective on the issue was skewed by his own viewpoint; of course, he liked and was willing to see this vast world.
But to an introverted and sensitive girl like Ollie, who had hardly ever stepped outside her home, what she feared most was change, especially changing her most familiar circle. For her, Pat Manor and Gru Town were her comfort zones, and stepping out of them frightened her.
The reason she followed so closely by Angel’s side was that she felt a sense of security only near people she knew well.
“Though Head Maid Mana, Knight Swoki… they’re all here, I still really miss my other friends. Thinking that I might not see them in the future makes me very scared,” she said.
Angel fell silent for a moment, “Perhaps, they might come here in the future.”
“No, no, no, I didn’t mean I want them to die,” Ollie hastened to clarify, waving her hand, “I just miss them.”
Angel couldn’t help but chuckle, “Do you still think that this world is the one after death? Actually, you don’t need to die to come here.”
“But isn’t it only Transcendents who can reach here?” Ollie asked curiously.
“Do you think Mentor Jon is a Transcendent? Coming here only requires a little trick,” Angel paused, seeing Ollie’s brows relax somewhat, he continued, “If you really miss them that much, then adapt to living here well. Later on, I will find a way to bring them here, and when that happens, as the local leader, you’ll need to take care of them.”
At this, Ollie was taken aback. Finally breaking through her cloud of gloom, she smiled and said, “Okay.”
Soon, they arrived in the eastern district and saw “Pat Manor” situated there. Everyone was stunned, including Jon and Lyon, who had not expected to see the familiar building here.
“Why is the manor here?” someone asked incredulously.
Swoki looked at the manor in front of him, his mind flashing back to seeing the Marine Theater, and he mumbled somewhat hazily, “The Marine Theater has appeared, so it seems… normal to have Pat Manor too?”
In a daze, Angel pushed open the gate of the manor.
“From now on, this will be where you live. As for the rooms, they’re the same as your previous ones,” Angel led the way in, and the others, after a moment of stupor, followed with joy on their faces.
Seeing the familiar manor here was probably the most reassuring moment for them in the last few hours.
However, upon entering the manor gates, the former farmer’s eyes flickered with confusion: “Why are there no farms?”
Or rather, it wasn’t just the farms that were missing, there were no plants at all.
What lay before their eyes was desolation.
“The matter of the farms will be sorted out later,” Angel coughed twice, as, for now, he truly wasn’t able to solve the issue of crops on a large scale.
Of course, he could actually manage to drum up some plants if he wished. For example, sending some Extraordinary Items through the Dream Conch into the Wilderness of Dreams, or some sentient plants could be brought into the Wilderness of Dreams through Enter Dream, but this approach was not widely applicable.
Nevertheless, since plants could appear in the Wilderness of Dreams, the future was something to look forward to.
If they could bring the power of reality into this place, solving the plant issue would be simple. Any Nature Witch could accomplish it.
While the absence of farms was a minor issue, although everyone was puzzled, they were bombarded with too much information today to focus too much on it. They cared more about the insides of the manor.
