This palace complex is even larger than the royal palace of Shannon in the outside world, completely unimaginable that it was built by wind creatures.
Upon reaching the mountain summit, Angel saw The Sage, Kamil, already waiting at the palace gates.
"Is this another avatar of Mr. Kamil?" Angel jumped off the gondola.
Kamil nodded: "Yes, His Highness asked me to wait here for you, he’ll be here shortly."
The gentle breeze, Uranus, is still figuring out how to settle the group of "captives" and rearranging clan members called back to Wind Island, so Angel understood.
Although the gentle breeze, Uranus, hasn’t returned, some matters can still be handled first.
For example, the arrangements for the various elemental sprites on the gondola.
Angel summoned all the elemental sprites from the ship, except... Bean Vine Jack.
Whether Jack could step onto Wind Island was not for Angel to decide.
Upon hearing about Jack’s situation, Kamil immediately understood that Jack was probably sent by The Sage of Green Field to gather information. Given the current relationship between Green Field and White Cloud Village, calling it malicious probing doesn’t quite apply, but the intention to probe is very evident.
However, the "internal troubles" of White Cloud Village, due to Angel’s appearance, have been resolved.
Given Wind Island’s current situation, letting Green Field’s Sage know wouldn’t matter.
Thinking this, Kamil said with a smile, "Green Field and White Cloud Village are closest allies. If Jack wishes to land on the island, we naturally welcome him."
With Kamil’s approval, Angel finally released Jack.
However, as soon as Jack disembarked, before he could say anything, Kamil sent him off with a wind creature under the guise of "showing you around Wind Island."
Angel didn’t stop him, as just like Kamil said, Green Field and White Cloud Village are very close, and Jack certainly wouldn’t be mistreated.
After Jack left, Angel shifted his focus to the group of sprites.
Arnott is still crying in the yellow sand cage, sobbing continuously. According to Dangross, it’s not sad crying, but happy crying.
Angel didn’t immediately release Arnott because Arnott’s circumstances are relatively special, considered a bilateral diplomatic matter. Although he has reasons and excuses to release him, he decided to wait until the gentle breeze, Uranus, returns.
As for the other wind elemental sprites, after Angel lifted the illusion technique enveloping them, they were taken away by subordinates Kamil called.
During the previous wartime mobilization, these wind elemental sprites remained in place, as the enemy wouldn’t trouble them, and they weren’t brought back. Now that Angel brought them back, proper arrangements need to be made.
However, one wind elemental sprite remained behind.
It was the Silver White Flying Fish they encountered earlier.
Without any accident, this Silver White Flying Fish should be from Storm Ridge, named Feltworth.
How to deal with this sprite not born in White Cloud Village, Kamil temporarily had no plan. It was his first time handling such a situation and couldn’t make decisions on his own. He could only wait for His Highness of Gentle Breeze to return for further discussion.
After settling the wind elemental sprites, Kamil led them into the palace atop the mountain.
Closer contact with the palace, Angel noticed some details. Although the overall architectural style is indeed human, many details inside are contrary to human architectural style.
For instance, the "castle in the sky," clearly violating architectural principles, can appear here.
Perhaps this is a change accommodating wind creatures?
Such a change wouldn’t work outside, but here it’s very reasonable and has a unique charm.
Later, through Kamil’s introduction, Angel learned it wasn’t a change due to accommodation, but... built instinctively.
Kamil said these buildings were imitations by the gentle breeze, Uranus, based on Mr. Feng’s few words and paintings he had seen from Mr. Feng.
Though imitated, the gentle breeze, Uranus hadn’t studied architecture systematically, so only resembling in form without capturing the essence, it can only be considered instinctive architecture.
Buildings floating on air without foundations can only appear on Wind Island.
The truth might be laughable, but it must be said, this kind of "instinctive earmark" building is very distinctive. The clustering ecology of wind creatures has developed its own style.
If it continues, it might form a new urban civilization.
Under Kamil’s guidance, they walked about a hundred meters along the palace corridor and finally arrived before an imposing hall.
This hall’s form largely resembles the Silver Heron royal family’s style. Angel estimated that when the gentle breeze, Uranus, constructed it, he must have referenced Mr. Feng’s paintings related to the Silver Heron royal family.
There are no guards on the platform outside the hall, allowing direct passage to the hall entrance.
Before the hall door, they encountered a wind creature.
More accurately, it was a Wind Spirit.
