It seems Gentle Breeze Uranus didn’t show leniency, but in fact, after leaving Baya Desert, maintaining the yellow sand cage permanently is difficult. It can only be sustained for half a month or a month at most, by which time, without Gentle Breeze Uranus intervening, the cage will break on its own.
Thus, this is actually a very mild punishment.
After finishing talking about Arnott, Gentle Breeze Uranus looked at Angel: "Sage Cuproplatinum not only spoke about Arnott’s situation, but also his thoughts on the Shadow Box... finally mentioning something about Mr. Pat, heard you have been searching for Mr. Feng’s deeds?"
Angel was taken aback. He initially planned to ask a few days later, but didn’t expect Sage Cuproplatinum to give Gentle Breeze Uranus a heads-up with golden sand.
"Yes," Angel nodded in acknowledgment, "but there’s no rush, Your Highness can let me know later."
Gentle Breeze Uranus’s eyes flashed with gratitude: "The Shadow Box you brought gives me a tremendous shock, I indeed need time to think. Here’s the plan: I’ll give you an answer the day after tomorrow and also inform you of Mr. Feng’s matters then."
As Gentle Breeze Uranus was already impatient to look at the Shadow Box again, Angel temporarily took his leave.
When Angel left the palace, he also took Arnott along. According to Gentle Breeze Uranus’s suggestion, since Arnott was confined in the cage without anything else to do, he might as well be used to guide Angel, introducing Wind Island’s situation. Luckily, Arnott and Angel were relatively familiar with each other.
After leaving the palace, Angel met Sage Kamil at the corridor’s edge.
It seemed to be another avatar.
Kamil slightly bowed: "Where does Mr. Pat plan to go next?"
Angel: "No plans for now, do you have any advisement, Mr. Kamil?"
Kamil turned around, pointing southeast to Wind Island: "There is White Sea Bay, where His Highness earlier placed all captured wind-element creatures."
After a pause, Kamil pointed north to a solitary small peak: "This mountain doesn’t have a name, but all the wind-element creatures on Wind Island call it Forbidden Peak because it’s considered a forbidden zone."
Angel: "So, Mr. Kamil specifically informs me not to approach that mountain?"
Kamil shook his head: "Not at all, it is also open to Mr. Pat. The reason it is forbidden is that Gentle Breeze deliberately set it that way, because during the Cataclysm Era, Mr. Feng lived there. His Highness knows you want to pursue Mr. Feng’s deeds, hence decided to open the mountain to you."
In short, Kamil came here merely to give Angel more options — whether to visit White Sea Bay to see the captives, or visit the mountain where Mr. Feng used to reside, or let Arnott guide him through Wind Island?
Angel thought for a moment and decided to visit the mountain where Feng used to live.
The wind-element creatures at White Sea Bay have already signed a covenant and are temporarily unable to leave... Moreover, Angel currently doesn’t need them. Their greatest purpose will be served when the wizards of Barbarian Cave infiltrate the Tidal World later.
So Angel decided to visit them later, giving them time to adapt to their new identity.
After making the decision, Kamil added: "Moreover, Hurricane wants to visit his former subordinates at White Sea Bay. His Highness didn’t agree and asked me to pass on the message to you."
Due to Gentle Breeze Uranus’s request, Hurricane is the only wind-element creature that hasn’t signed the Ding Yuan Mo Ke covenant and is currently confined in a small bottle. Part of the reason Hurricane agreed to be sealed in the bottle was hoping to let go of his subordinates. Knowing they are temporarily fine and arranged in White Sea Bay, he now hopes to meet them.
Angel didn’t immediately respond but asked: "What does Gentle Breeze Uranus plan to do with Hurricane?"
Kamil hesitated and said: "Not certain yet, it needs discussion with Storm Ridge’s Gale Huborio before making a decision."
Despite the conversation, with Gentle Breeze Uranus’s Holy Mother-like personality, Angel roughly deduced Hurricane would eventually return to Storm Ridge.
Angel considered for a moment: "Don’t rush their meeting yet. During this period, let Hurricane be with Gentle Breeze Uranus and learn about the Shadow Box content. When the time comes, they’ll have a chance to meet."
Although Angel didn’t hold the captives at White Sea Bay in high regard, Hurricane remaining their former superior still holds substantial influence in his words.
To prevent them being influenced by Hurricane’s words, Angel decided to keep Hurricane isolated from them for a while longer. Nonetheless, if they are to work wholeheartedly for him within twenty years, they eventually must meet Hurricane.
Hence, Angel arranged for Hurricane to understand the future changes in Tidal World, making him realize the chaotic era of small skirmishes in Tidal World is ending, saying no more petty internal strife. It’s better to persuade his subordinates to focus on laying the foundation for the next twenty years, benefiting himself, Storm Ridge, and Tidal World.
Kamil also understood Angel’s intention and smiled, nodding: "Alright, I’ll let His Highness know."
