Sumishe and Nya both prepared with a heart full of exploration to see this new world.
But before they could see this new world, they were captured as recruits.
"Oh, Nya? And Su... Your Excellency The Facade! You actually came in too?" Just as Nya and Sumishe were about to part ways to explore on their own, a joyful voice came from not far away.
"Of course, you both belong to Illusion Demon Island, if Illusion Demon found you, he definitely would let you in."
Accompanied by a burst of rose fragrance, a figure walked over and affectionately looped her arm around Nya’s.
Nya turned her head and saw that the newcomer was her friend, "Rose Crown" Lianna.
Nya’s eyes lit up with joy, just as she was about to say something, Lianna hurriedly pulled Nya away: "Don’t talk about anything else right now, you just happened to arrive, come with me to New City first..."
Nya was involuntarily pulled away by Lianna, after walking a few steps, Lianna noticed Sumishe still standing in place and quickly called out: "Your Excellency The Facade, come along, later I’ll brew tea made from the finest Demon Plant for you!"
With one pulling and one coaxing, Lianna successfully tricked Sumishe and Nya onto the flying boat heading to New City.
On the flying boat—
"We just arrived, haven’t had a chance to look around this city, and you dragged us away." Nya leaned against the window of the flying boat, looking at the bustling city below, her expression a bit lonely.
Lianna held Nya’s hand and said: "What’s there to see in Originheart City? The city planning is like child’s play, sustainable resources haven’t kept up, if it weren’t the first city in the Wilderness of Dreams, backed by powerful support, it wouldn’t thrive. Still, going to New City is better, it’s the most extraordinary city I’ve seen... although not yet completed, it’s much more interesting than Originheart City."
Lianna spoke of New City with enthusiasm, her face full of longing.
"What is New City?" Lianna’s description aroused Nya’s curiosity.
"It’s the Extraordinary City of the Wilderness of Dreams, and also the venue for an upcoming Tea Party. You’ll know what I mean soon." Lianna gave Nya a knowing look.
Nya understood that Lianna was deliberately keeping them in suspense, creating intrigue. It didn’t matter, as they were heading to New City now anyway.
Lianna: "By the way, where have you been? Illusion Demon went out of his way to find you, but you weren’t online for a long time."
"Online?" Nya was puzzled for a moment.
"It means entering the Wilderness of Dreams. People often say this in the tree group, I find it quite fitting."
Nya nodded thoughtfully in understanding, then under Lianna’s urging, briefly recounted their recent happenings, except for the damage to Sumishe’s Nightmare Realm.
"Investigating the blood virus came across the Red Plague believers and God’s Chosen? The Bishop of the Heretical Judgment Hall? You really are unlucky." Lianna said sympathetically, "If you need help, I’ll find people for you."
Nya: "Fortunately, the Mentor arrived, everything is safe now."
Lianna: "That’s good. Anyway, if you need to find anyone, simply come online anytime."
Lianna smirked: "Speaking of which, the Wilderness of Dreams is really convenient, we can chat here despite being far apart, and even offer mutual aid at any time... I must say, Angel is indeed a genius, designing such a groundbreaking masterpiece, I can’t wait to see the world’s reaction when the Wilderness of Dreams emerges."
Nya’s lips moved, finally nodding in agreement: "Yes, he is the pride of Illusion Demon Island."
Beside, Sumishe heard Nya’s words, his face showing a faint smile.
Lianna didn’t know the intricacies and continued to lavish Angel with praise.
Eventually, Sumishe interrupted: "Our understanding of the Wilderness of Dreams is still limited, Mentor wanted us to experience it ourselves, but you dragged us onto the flying boat... since we’re already here, why don’t you tell us more, including New City you mentioned, and this tree group, tell us about them?"
Lianna pondered for a moment, she brought Nya and Sumishe onto the flying boat to recruit helpers for building New City, interrupting their understanding process of the world, so it made sense for her to explain. Moreover, there wasn’t much else to do on the flying boat, opening their eyes and watching their surprised expressions was a rare pleasure.
With this in mind, Lianna nodded: "Since Your Excellency The Facade asked, how could I refuse?"
Sumishe: "... Just call me by my name."
Lianna smiled: "You’ve now entered True Knowledge, addressing you this way is out of respect. Back to the topic, I’ll start with the cities in the Wilderness of Dreams..."
...
As the two newcomers opened the door to the new world, in reality, Angel’s flying boat had reached the border region of Baya Desert.
The loose desert sands gradually consolidated, and the ground became relatively solid.
As Angel observed the changes in the terrain, the Sand Hawk flying ahead suddenly screeched: "Not following the rules His Highness set, since I’ve encountered you, I must take you down!"
As soon as the words fell, the Sand Hawk turned into a yellow sand arrow, rushing straight ahead.
Angel was drawn to the movement of the Sand Hawk, unsure of what it was referring to, he looked forward in curiosity.
In the distance, the Sand Hawk transformed into dust, wrapped in a storm.
Dark sand scattered in all directions.
"This scene looks somewhat familiar." Angel watched the sweeping sands, reminding him of the time he entered Baya Desert and encountered the Wind Sand Brigade. At that time, the sky was covered in sand, obscuring visibility, similar to the scene before him.
Bringing that past situation into the present, and recalling the Sand Hawk’s previous shout, Angel seemed to understand the current situation.
It must be a wind-type creature intruding into Baya Desert, entering alone, flying in the air, violating the no-fly rule set by the Sandstorm rules, and getting bumped by the Sand Hawk.
Currently, the Sand Hawk is engaged in a battle with the wind-type creature.
Angel believed that since White Cloud Village bordered Baya Desert, they surely knew the rules here and wouldn’t rashly intrude.
So what’s with this wind-type creature that broke in?
Seeking some thrill from being compulsively reckless, or is it yet another naïve daredevil?
