Wilderness of Dreams, New City.
A girl in a blood-red, puffy dress, barefoot and holding a black parasol with red edges, walked at the end of the long street encircling the city.
The buildings nearby were mostly completed, tall and closely packed, yet devoid of people. Most were on the other side of the New City, where construction was still underway.
The girl in the exquisite dress, walking on the bustling yet empty brick street, against the backdrop of lingering overcast skies, presented a rather decadent artistic beauty.
Moreover, her blood-red dress was strikingly conspicuous, allowing anyone to notice her at first sight in the broad composition.
Lianna, flying in mid-air, was attracted by just this.
Lianna descended from high above, landing in front of the girl, scrutinized her for a moment, finally fixing her gaze on the girl’s bare feet, and then chuckled, "Since you became a wizard, it’s the first time I’ve seen you standing on solid ground outside, Flora."
The girl in the blood-red, puffy dress—Flora, rolled her eyes at her friend in mock annoyance, "Do you think I want to? Lus’s energy value is too low to use levitation. The spiritual power here can’t support me floating, it’s so annoying."
Lianna chuckled for a while, then took out a Scroll of Wind from a pouch on her waist and handed it to Flora, "Take this for now, it’s stored with a basic load of Wind’s Force, enough to keep you afloat for ten days to half a month if you don’t use it for traveling."
Flora took it, sensed it for a moment, "It should barely suffice if I don’t use it to hurry on."
While saying this, Flora activated the Magic Rune Scroll, and her expansive puffy dress swelled like an inflatable doll, causing Flora herself to float in mid-air.
Mastering the levitation skill again in the Wilderness of Dreams, Flora’s previously stern face finally gained a few shades of a smile.
Lianna came to Flora’s side, taking her arm, "Didn’t you say the other day in the grove that you were still in Originheart City? How did you suddenly come here? It’s good you’re here; I’m short of hands."
"This is why I didn’t want to come to the New City," Flora muttered.
Lianna ignored Flora’s grumble, smilingly asked, "So what brings you to the New City suddenly?"
Flora: "Nothing much, the resources in Originheart City are too scarce. It’s difficult to conduct research there."
Flora was telling the truth, but she had arrived in the New City via skycraft yesterday, though she had delayed entering the city until today because she needed to help Sumishe stabilize its body.
Now she was coming up hoping to meet Sanders.
"The mentor just returned to reality, said something about leaving, and entered the Wilderness of Dreams again. I’m worried something happened, so I came to check," Flora said as she picked up the Mother Tree Interlinker, her previous message to Sanders remaining unanswered.
"Oh, I saw him enter the Rosewater Pavilion earlier; he’s probably talking to Lord Nami Midori there."
"Lord... Nami Midori? Who’s that?" Flora mulled over the honorific, full of confusion.
"Come with me; I’m heading to the Rosewater Pavilion. We can talk on the way, and I have a guess about why Sanders suddenly said he was leaving," Lianna said, pulling Flora towards the Rosewater Pavilion.
Along the way, Lianna recounted Nami Midori’s story. Most of it was her conjectures filled in, as all she knew came from the message Angel had sent.
But with her female intuition and naturally more perceptive thinking than men, her story was almost spot on with the real situation, differing only in details.
Flora’s expression on the way was one of shock.
The truth of the mystery of the Elemental Disappearance on Edge Island?! A world populated solely by elemental creatures, and it’s a subsidiary realm of the Wizards’ Realm?
This alone was unbelievable for Flora.
Moreover, the one who excavated all this was Angel!
"First the Wilderness of Dreams, then the world of elemental life," Lianna smiled, "Angel is really something."
Lianna’s other reason for praising Angel was that these two pieces of news, enough to shake the Wizards’ Realm, would be announced at this year’s Tea Party.
By then, this Tea Party would undoubtedly become a benchmark that future Tea Parties could hardly surpass!
And the organizer of this Tea Party, Lianna herself, would gain countless benefits.
Flora felt a bit complicated. Her impression of Angel was still of that shivering child on the Bauhinia Vessel.
However, now, event after event testified to Angel’s potential and his incalculable value.
All this within just a few short years.
From disbelief to jealousy to now... Flora finally let it go.
Although she still felt a bit unbalanced psychologically, the facts remained there, and she had to let go of her past pride.
She sighed along with Lianna, "Yes, Angel is indeed impressive."
Soon after, they arrived at the Rosewater Pavilion.
Upon entering the first-floor hall, they saw Sanders coming down the staircase from the second floor, with Angel by his side.
Previously, seeing Angel would have made Flora’s heart skip a beat in discomfort.
But after her earlier introspection, she found herself much calmer when looking at Angel again.
She floated smilingly to Angel’s side, lightly nudging his shoulder with her immaculate bare foot, "Little brother Angel, you’ve really been up to a lot lately, I hear your name even in remote areas."
Angel laughed a bit sheepishly.
"By the way, where’s Little Red?" Angel looked behind Flora, not seeing Little Red, which he found rather unsettling.
Flora: "Little Red seems unable to come in; its mentor tried using the Dream Entering Technique before, but Little Red doesn’t need sleep and doesn’t take to this dream spell either."
Mentioning Little Red, Flora felt a bit of regret. She’s never separated from Little Red, and now that Little Red couldn’t enter the Wilderness of Dreams, her desire to enter also waned considerably.
"Little Red is a Nightmare Realm being, and the Wilderness of Dreams is the gap between the Nightmare Realm, Dream Realm, and reality. It shouldn’t be impossible to enter," Angel muttered, "It should be able to come in; maybe the method is wrong?"
Flora’s eyes lit up, "Little Red can really come in?"
Angel: "According to logic, it should be possible. However, it may not be through the Dream Entering Technique. When I see Little Red, I’ll research it."
