After City Lord Marilyn left, Angel leisurely turned his attention to Freud.
“So, from what you’re saying, you’ve decided to inform them about the Dream Plant Fairy?” Angel inquired.
Freud silently nodded. He couldn’t keep the residents of Initial Heart City in the dark forever, as the Dream Plant Fairy, in its quest to understand ‘balance,’ would undoubtedly seek out what they call human territories. Rather than a sudden encounter later, it seemed wiser to prepare them in advance.
Angel asked, “After you tell them, what attitude do you plan for them to maintain towards the Dream Plant Fairy? A conservative approach to maintain balance, or something more radical?”
Freud gave a wry smile, “At present, Initial Heart City doesn’t possess the resources to take a radical stance against the Dream Plant Fairy.”
“My current thought is to maintain distance while increasing vigilance and preparedness towards them,” Freud paused, “This is the fundamental tone I want to set. As for the specifics, I will work them out in detail after discussing with City Lord Marilyn.”
Freud was not arrogant; he trusted that City Lord Marilyn, with her broader perspective and cunning, was more suitable for handling this unknown bilateral relationship. He would consider the advice of City Lord Marilyn and her advisory group before making a decision.
Angel nodded in understanding. The situation was tricky, but not insurmountable. Entrusting it to Freud seemed reasonable.
Handled properly, this could also alleviate some of Freud’s guilt.
With this in mind, Angel decided not to dwell on the matter further, instead moving on to the main topic——the detailed information about the Dream Plant Fairy.
Angel discussed various aspects of the Dream Plant Fairy, including their reproduction methods, social structure, civilizational benchmarks, personality traits, and abilities…
Freud’s brows furrowed deeper the more he listened.
The situation of the Dream Plant Fairy was even more complex and diverse than he had imagined.
Firstly, unlike the generally similar physical traits of humans, the Dream Plant Fairies vary greatly in size. As Freud previously observed on the Mother Tree, they do not have a fixed form. Some are as tall as mountains, others as small as bees, some humanoid, others object-like. The only distinction is the presence of plant-like characteristics to varying degrees.
Their reproduction method also differs from humans. To propagate, they don’t need a partner; they simply split a strand of their essence and pray to the Mother Tree, which grants them a new cocoon. The cocoon accumulates energy until the emergence.
As the new cocoon is a division of the original essence, the newborn Dream Plant Fairy inherits a wealth of information and knowledge through the mother’s essence. This means that they possess considerable intelligence from birth.
The social structure of the Dream Plant Fairies is also tightly knit. Apart from a few solitary individuals, they prefer group actions. They don’t have concepts of family or households but rather a concept of team cooperation.
The differences in reproduction and social structure from humans make it hard for Freud to compare which is better, but one thing is certain: due to the inheritance of wisdom and teamwork, the Dream Plant Fairies are arguably superior in average intelligence compared to humans.
Furthermore, what Freud found most daunting was the abilities of the Dream Plant Fairies.
Every Dream Plant Fairy has the ability to foster plant growth, a universally applicable skill. However, some possess unique special abilities beyond plant growth; some even have more than one ability.
For instance, Freud noticed some Dream Plant Fairies surrounded by water elements, indicating the power to control water. If they can control water, it’s natural to assume they can manipulate other elements as well.
Their abilities are not limited to elemental control but also include self-enhancement and mental transmission centered around the Mother Tree.
These abilities are varied and some are very powerful. Humans, when facing such power, are almost unilaterally crushed.
Of course, there are those who can counter it, like demon hunters fused with sin demons. Even due to Power Level Restriction, some demon hunters are stronger than Dream Plant Fairies.
But the number of demon hunters is too few, and even if they are stronger, they are not strong enough to suppress a group by themselves. So, in terms of abilities, humans are definitely at a disadvantage.
Freud frowned deeply, the more he understood, the more he saw the gap.
Wisdom inheritance, team assistance, special abilities, each one surpassing ordinary humans by a margin. Combined with the numerous Dream Plant Fairies, if they were to confront them now, the residents of Initial Heart City would definitely be at a loss.
However, the only thing that made Freud breathe a sigh of relief was that the core of the Dream Plant Fairies, the Mother Tree that could consolidate their central power and sense of belonging, could be controlled by Angel.
As long as the Mother Tree is controlled, it is possible to guide the behavior of the Dream Plant Fairies to some extent.
And because Angel made the Dream Plant Fairies adhere to balance, Freud believed that even if the Dream Plant Fairies discovered Initial Heart City, there would be no accidents in the short term as long as the residents did not provoke them.
Time was in their hands.
Once Sanders built an energy system in the Wilderness of Dreams that could bring real-world strength into it, they should be able to hold their own against the Dream Plant Fairies even if they fell out with them.
Thinking this, the tension in Freud’s heart eased slightly.
After learning about the Dream Plant Fairies, Freud also began to think about how to discuss with City Lord Marilyn, what could be said and what could not.
While Freud was pondering, Angel suddenly said, “Speaking of which, what do you think about what City Lord Marilyn said earlier regarding Raphaella’s fainting?”
“Raphaella…” Freud paused for a moment, surprised that Angel had suddenly brought up this matter, “Due to the unique constitution of Dream Realm inhabitants, incidents of unconsciousness are extremely rare. To say that she fainted from the quake, I find it unbelievable.”
Angel: “Then what do you think could be the situation?”
“What situation?” Freud muttered softly: “Fainting during the quake, is it a stress response? It probably isn’t… Then what could it be? Considering that during the quake, it was the emergence of the Tree Mother, and the Tree Civilization began to surface…”
Muttering to himself, Freud suddenly realized something: “Could it be a matter of Power Tree compatibility?”
Angel nodded: “I also think it’s related to compatibility.”
Since the “Tree Civilization” power was not borne by Angel, he was unaware of who had high compatibility and who had low. However, the fact that Raphaella didn’t faint earlier or later, but specifically when the Tree Civilization power was activated, indeed suggested a high likelihood of it being related to compatibility.
