In the New City Rosewater Pavilion, Rhein’s figure gradually became clear from a blur.
After Ironclad Granny told Rhein about the conversation between Angel and Tree Spirit, Rhein came online immediately, wanting to know exactly what was happening with Angel.
Compared to the carefree Tree Spirit and Ironclad Granny, Rhein worried the most about Angel. After all, Angel was an indispensable focus for the future development plans of the Barbarian Cave. If anything happened to him, many plans could not proceed.
Previously, Rhein also speculated that Angel might have gone to a place with many Elemental Creatures, but Rhein never imagined that there would be Elemental Creatures beyond the Second Level of True Knowledge, let alone the appearance of Half-step Legend Elemental Creatures.
In the presence of such powerful Elemental Creatures, even though Angel himself said he would be fine, it still made Rhein very worried. After all, only by reaching this level can one understand how terrifying it is.
Rhein truly hoped Angel would quickly move away.
However, when Rhein entered the Wilderness of Dreams, Angel had already logged off.
...
Angel did not know that Rhein was looking for him. After leaving the Wilderness of Dreams, he prepared to leave the Vine House and search outside for the floating flower Nami Midori left behind.
Pushing open the vine-entwined door, Angel walked out. What he saw before his eyes was a surging sea of clouds, with vine flowers scattered among them.
Amidst the various flowers, Angel quickly locked on to the floating flower because it was truly eye-catching.
It was a feeble and delicate blue floating flower that looked like it could be torn apart by the cold wind at any moment, swaying lightly with the breeze.
The floating flower floated up and down in the wind, but no matter how the wind blew, big or small, it was never blown away from the Cloud Sea of Flowers, only drifting within a small area.
Angel easily arrived near the floating flower and was about to reach out to touch it.
But at that moment, a strange feeling suddenly arose.
It felt as if someone behind him was secretly watching him, and that lurking gaze made the skin on his back tense up.
Angel quickly turned his head, but saw no creature behind him.
That feeling of being watched disappeared in the instant he turned around.
He glanced around once more but saw no traces of any creature. Only blooming flowers whose petals fell and danced in the wind like snowflakes.
"Again..." Angel frowned. Since leaving the White Cloud Sea, this feeling of being watched had appeared for the third time.
The first two times occurred outside, but now, in the core area of the Green Forest Domain, there was still this feeling of being watched.
One must know that the atmosphere here is extremely intimidating. Who could be observing him in the shadows under such pressure? Or is it as Cubic said before, that it’s actually Nami Midori secretly watching him?
But if it were Nami Midori, why would it secretly watch him? Moreover, he is now on top of the vine tower Nami Midori created; the entire vine tower can serve as Nami Midori’s eyes. Why would it need to secretly spy?
Angel’s expression was uncertain for a long while before he took a deep breath and turned away from the Vine House.
After waiting a few minutes without feeling spied upon, Angel finally stretched out his hand to touch the floating flower.
The moment Angel touched the floating flower, a faint light floated from the petals. These light points, resembling blue fireflies, floated into the air and quickly darted off in a certain direction.
Angel guessed that these light points, like the sparks in the Region of Fire and the swirling sands in the Baya Desert, were a medium for conveying messages.
After about three to five minutes, Angel heard a rustling sound in the wind.
Turning around, he saw a small green snake winding through the sea of clouds, bringing along blooming flowers, eventually halting near Angel.
"Did you need something from me?" Nami Midori’s golden eyes quietly observed Angel.
Angel nodded: "Indeed, there are some things I need your Excellency Nami Midori to clarify for me."
Angel laid out his speculations.
Nami Midori: "You think that the items Mr. Feng left behind might hold clues to breaking through the Spatial Tempest?"
"Yes, if the Spatial Tempest was within Mr. Feng’s expectations, then there must be a solution."
Nami Midori said bluntly: "Your speculation might have some merit. However, I can tell you with certainty that Mr. Feng left no items behind during his stay in the Green Forest Domain."
Angel was stunned to hear this because, in his imagination, Feng left a hidden room and a large batch of paintings for the gentle wind Uranos in the White Cloud Village, a unique ice circle for Frost Iser in the Malaya Ice Mountain. By this logic, shouldn’t he also leave something for Nami Midori?
This was different from what he thought.
When Angel showed a bewildered expression, Nami Midori added: "What I said before was too absolute; Mr. Feng did leave something behind."
Angel’s eyes lit up, looking at Nami Midori expectantly.
"However, what he left, you’ve already seen, is the painting in the Vine House and the knowledge imparted to me. Besides these, there’s nothing else."
Angel had previously examined the painting in the Vine House carefully. Aside from being a medium for teleporting to the void, there was nothing unusual about it.
As for the knowledge imparted to Nami Midori... if Nami Midori knew how to traverse the void, it probably wouldn’t deliberately hide it.
So, in conclusion, it’s still a dead end.
Nami Midori: "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now."
After saying these words, Nami Midori was about to turn and leave.
However, Angel stopped it: "Your Excellency Nami Midori, the Lost Forest is within your domain. You should be able to sense what happens in the Lost Forest, right?"
Nami Midori: "Generally speaking, unless there is a massive energy fluctuation or an aura that draws my attention, I won’t notice. I don’t usually sense what’s happening in the Lost Forest."
Angel: "But can you sense any unusual fluctuations?"
Nami Midori: "That depends on what kind of unusual fluctuations."
Under Nami Midori’s gaze, Angel recounted the incidents of being watched.
