Angel: “Will Lydia also attend the tea party?”
Gloria nodded, a cold smile playing at the corner of her mouth: “Of course, but her scheming, I fear, will not come to fruition this time.”
“Scheming?” Angel asked in confusion: “What does Lydia plan to do at this tea party?”
Gloria: “I’m not sure about that, but at the end of the last tea party, she made quite a show in front of many witches, brushing up her presence, all to become the star of this tea party.”
The star? What exactly do you witches do at tea parties? Perform dramas?
Angel internally scoffed at this, but his expression remained solemn.
“At that time, we all knew that Lydia did so because of her excellent relationship with Mirror Lady of your Savage Grottoes. This time, the tea party is happening right in the Savage Grottoes, so she probably wanted to leverage Mirror Lady’s influence,” Gloria said, snickering. “Unfortunately, though her calculations were clever, she overlooked the changing realities of the situation.”
Hearing this, Angel roughly understood what Gloria meant.
Mirror Lady was in deep slumber, with an unknown awakening time. In such a situation, Lydia naturally couldn’t use Mirror Lady’s influence, leading Gloria to conclude that her scheming wouldn’t succeed.
Regarding this, Angel didn’t continue Gloria’s line of thought, as he didn’t know what to say. However, he could infer the cutthroat atmosphere of the tea party from Gloria’s narration… All he could probably say was, tough luck for Tree Spirit Lord.
After parting with Gloria, Angel headed towards the manor.
He had planned to fly straight back to his study, collect the mini signal tower, and then leave the Savage Grottoes to relocate to an outside ruin.
However, Angel saw Butler Goode far away, tending to the garden’s blossoms and decided to approach him.
Angel went to see Butler Goode not only to inform him of his departure but also to inquire about something.
“Where is Lord Sumesh?” Goode repeated Angel’s question softly and, without pondering too long, replied, “A month ago, Lord Sumesh and Miss Flora left the Savage Grottoes together.”
Angel: “Where did they go? When will they return?”
“I don’t know where they went, so I cannot say,” Goode answered, puzzled. “Do you need them for something, young master?”
Angel nodded; he indeed had matters to discuss with Sumesh.
Sanders had told him that Sumesh’s Nightmare Domain had been severely damaged and now couldn’t use any illusions related to the Nightmare Domain. He hoped Angel could use the main body of the Wilderness of Dreams’ Nightmare Domain to help Sumesh heal.
Besides, Angel himself needed Sumesh for the Three-State Balance plan to save Jon, which, according to Sanders, required Sumesh’s cooperation.
That’s why Angel had come to ask Goode about Sumesh’s Whereabouts. Unfortunately, it seemed that Sumesh was neither on Phantom Island nor in the Savage Grottoes.
“As for when they will return…” Goode pondered for a moment: “I cannot be sure. However, as far as I know, Miss Flora should return for the tea party, and perhaps Lord Sumesh will accompany her.”
Angel nodded, realizing that informing Sumesh would have to wait a bit longer.
…
Under the lush Eternal Tree, a witch enveloped in the scent of roses briskly walked out of the mission hall.
She looked hurried, with a cold expression on her face. People around her, too intimidated to greet her, dispersed fearfully, clearing a path for her.
As she stepped down the stairs of the mission hall, a woman dressed in a tight, fiery red outfit with flames painted on it approached her.
“Liana, are you still posting missions?… Hm, from your expression, it seems you’re still not satisfied?”
Emerging from the Mission Hall was none other than “Rose Crown” Liana.
Faced with her friend Fire Charm’s inquiry, Liana didn’t continue her previously cold demeanor, but instead sighed deeply: “I’ve got the design layouts, and I personally favor this one a lot, but there are still some imperfections…”
“What imperfections?” Fire Charm Witch asked curiously.
Fire Charm knew that Liana had recently posted a series of missions at the mission hall about a tea party, including the design of the venue, decorations, food preparation, and more.
Each mission was challenging, especially since the tea party catered to the entire Wizarding World. Any slight mistake would be disastrous. Among these missions, only the venue design was relatively less troublesome. However, despite many days passing and receiving numerous designs for the tea party venue, none had satisfied her.
Now that a satisfactory design had finally appeared, Liana mentioned it had flaws? Where could the imperfections be?
“See for yourself.” Liana handed the design layout directly to Fire Charm.
Fire Charm took the layout and opened it.
Although the layout was drawn with simple strokes, its three-dimensional effect was impressively realistic. It clearly conveyed the author’s intention: a girl, a round table, dreams, whispers, and communication.
The entire design was steeped in Gothic style, extravagant yet not gaudy, fitting the theme perfectly.
This is a layout well-suited to a witch’s aesthetic but not quite mainstream.
Not only Liana but even Fire Charm couldn’t help but praise it.
However, though the layout is good, Fire Charm still found the flaw Liana mentioned: the design is for one of the tea party venues, and it’s clear that the background is the inner court of the Eternal Tree.
“Has Tree Spirit not agreed yet?”
Liana sighed, “Yes, he only agreed to hold the tea party outside and doesn’t plan to open a special space inside. Just now, he even hesitated about holding it outside, wanting me to move the tea party to an external ancient ruin.”
Though the layout is good, without Tree Spirit’s help, the design lacks half its spirit.
“So what now? Are you still going to adopt this layout?” asked Fire Charm.
Liana nodded firmly: “Of course, I’m going to talk to him again now, I don’t believe I can’t persuade him.”
After saying this, Liana was about to fly towards Tree Spirit Hall. However, Fire Charm stopped her at that moment: “If you go now, the answer will probably be the same. Actually, you could try letting Yesevei communicate with Tree Spirit.”
Liana’s eyes lit up; everyone knew that Tree Spirit was fond of Yesevei! If Yesevei spoke up, Tree Spirit might change his mind.
With this thought, Liana immediately turned and flew towards the leafy flowerbed where Yesevei was.
Fire Charm followed her.
She followed because she wanted to know whether this layout would eventually succeed. Moreover, Fire Charm had something else she wanted to ask Liana.
