Whenever Angel chooses, he can, through the godly perspective, monitor everything that happens in the Wilderness of Dreams.
Thus, once the gathering of witches at the pinnacle of the pyramid decides to hold their private tea party in the Wilderness of Dreams, Angel can indeed easily access the information they discuss.
It’s known that men can infiltrate ordinary tea parties by transforming into witches to gather information. ——This practice is not uncommon at each tea party.
However, infiltrating such high-level gatherings is much more challenging, as it’s an extremely small circle where everyone knows each other. Even if you transform into one of them, they can easily detect the disguise through subtle details and you can’t blend in. Gaining information from these witches’ discussions is far more difficult.
With this in mind, Angel’s thoughts begin to fluctuate.
Weighing his options internally, Angel eventually lifts his head and nods slowly to Sanders: “Let’s proceed with that.”
Angel, in his heart, is inclined toward openness, but he wishes to gradually extend it from a familiar, smaller circle to the larger circle of the Wizarding World. Sanders’s approach to openness, on the other hand, aims to start from the top-level wizards and permeate downward.
In some sense, their philosophies are quite similar. Both transition from a smaller circle to a larger one, albeit targeting different groups.
Angel is still inclined toward openness, and he had previously contemplated the pros and cons of opening the tea party, though not as thoroughly as Sanders. His conclusion was that it’s worth trying to open the tea party.
After combining Sanders’s suggestions, he ultimately agrees to conduct an experimental opening at the next tea party.
In any case, the powers of the “Gate of Dreams” and the “Gatekeeper” were firmly in his grasp, and it was impossible for outsiders to invade the Wilderness of Dreams without bypassing him, even if they could destroy it.
This time, the login device he provided for the tea party certainly had a usage limit. He temporarily used the tea party as a base, conducting a small number of trial openings to ensure everything was functioning correctly before gradually expanding access.
Sanders, upon hearing Angel’s agreement, wasn’t surprised at all, as this was a favorable development.
After nodding, Sanders immediately brought up another matter: “Since you’ve decided to open up at the tea party, we need to start preparing some things in advance.”
Firstly, it was necessary to determine where in the Wilderness of Dreams the tea party would be held. For these witches, the tea party had to guarantee two features: privacy and uniqueness.
With these two criteria as a foundation, other aspects such as prestige, demeanor, environment, and utensils would become bonus points, the more excellent, the better.
Therefore, it was not acceptable to just casually pick a wilderness area; this wasn’t a simple picnic.
In this regard, the Wilderness of Dreams itself had an advantage, as it already possessed privacy and uniqueness. They only needed to prepare other categories. As for prestige, demeanor, and the most crucial element of the tea party—tea, Angel could provide the finest through the Dream Conch. With the Dream Conch, there was no consumption on his part, so the higher the quality, the better.
However, the most important things were still the venue and the environment, which would need to be discussed in the future.
Apart from the venue, it was also necessary to determine in advance the quota for entering the Wilderness of Dreams. This quota wasn’t just for witches attending the tea party but also included some from within the Savage Grottoes.
After all, this matter was closely related to the Savage Grottoes and concerned the organization’s reputation. Angel couldn’t just give login devices to certain witches on a whim; he definitely needed to discuss and persuade Rhine and Tree Spirit to agree to host the tea party in the Wilderness of Dreams.
Tree Spirit is relatively easy to persuade, and Angel might even receive gratitude from him.
However, convincing Rhine requires solid evidence.
That is to say, the first step of opening up is not to let the witches in first, but to allow Rhine and others to enter the Wilderness of Dreams and get a preconception of it.
On this point, Angel has no objections. According to his plan for opening up, it starts with a familiar small group, which indeed includes the higher-ups of the Savage Grottoes. Therefore, selectively informing Rhine about the Wilderness of Dreams is unquestionable.
Moreover, if a tea party venue is to be built, Rhine’s help is needed.
And for any potential new city construction, Rhine’s approval is definitely needed, along with personnel from the Savage Grottoes.
Selecting a location and defining a quota are the two most necessary preparations in advance, in addition to some risk assessment preparations. Even if they now discuss and believe that letting witches host tea parties here won’t cause too much trouble, the ‘not too much trouble’ refers to not shaking the foundation of the Wilderness of Dreams, but there will still be many unpredictable minor troubles.
For example, if witches enter the Wilderness of Dreams and instead of focusing on the tea party, they go off exploring. What would the crisis management plan be?
Furthermore, if the witches become puzzled by the energy system of the Wilderness of Dreams, how should it be explained?
There are always disputes where there are people. If the witches start arguing or even fighting at the tea party, how should that be resolved?
These are the significance of risk assessment and crisis plans. Listing many possibilities in advance, and when these things do happen, the handling will be much more calm and collected.
For the three preparatory matters proposed by Sanders, Angel also agrees. In order of priority, what Angel needs to do first is to determine the number of participants; risk assessment can be done together with Sanders, Freud, and Rhine Mute; as for the tea party matters, Angel won’t focus too much on it, as women understand each other better, and it might be better to let the witches freely organize it when the time comes.
After making a definite plan, Angel didn’t rush to determine the number of participants but inquired about Jon’s physical condition from Sanders.
In Angel’s view, the worst outcome of opening the Wilderness of Dreams is the potential collapse of the realm. Of course, this possibility is slim, but if it does happen, Angel isn’t concerned about the others, but Jon is his utmost priority.
Sanders: “Jon’s physical state, the Three-State Balance, is still stable and won’t return to the degenerative phase shortly. However, as I’ve told you, the advantages and disadvantages of this Three-State Balance are not easy to resolve.”
Angel is well aware of the difficulty in resolving the Three-State Balance but is actively looking for solutions, which can be put aside for now.
The most important thing is Jon’s current physical state. After confirming there are no issues, Angel breathes a sigh of relief. As long as the physical body is unharmed, even if the Wilderness of Dreams encounters problems, it should be possible to temporarily return Jon’s consciousness to his body to avoid the danger of falling.
