As Baruba becomes increasingly certain that the red-haired wizard is indeed Angel, he feels a subtle sense of loss within himself.
He is well aware that over the years, Angel has repaid him many times over, settling the once insignificant debt of gratitude.
All these years, Baruba has harbored a thought deep in his heart, hoping that one day he would be able to repay Angel. But now, it seems that it’s still Angel who is helping him progress.
As Angel’s strength continues to grow, Baruba has remained stagnant. Perhaps, his desire to repay Angel is becoming increasingly unattainable.
Because of this, Baruba feels somewhat remorseful.
On the way back to the ruins, Angel notices the changes in Baruba’s expression and can roughly guess his feelings.
However, Baruba might have misunderstood this time. Bringing Baruba along wasn’t entirely about helping him progress; it was simply because Angel had noticed the construction task Baruba was working on earlier.
Compared to others in the tea party venue who had taken on construction tasks, Baruba was noticeably more diligent and meticulous.
Moreover, looking at the construction of the Rose Chapel, although Baruba might not have a strong artistic talent, he can perfectly replicate the artistic essence within the architecture, which is a rare talent in itself.
Currently, the construction of the new city in the Wilderness of Dreams is ready to commence.
Jon’s urban design was already perfect, brimming with artistic flair. If those self-important individuals were to impose their own artistry during construction, they would surely disrupt the city’s unity. It’s better to find someone like Baruba, who can meticulously transform Jon’s vision of an Eastern fantasy steampunk city into reality, without deviation.
However, Angel did not offer Baruba much explanation.
Once Baruba truly enters the Wilderness of Dreams and takes over the baton of the new city’s construction, he’ll surely be too busy to indulge in idle thoughts, so there’s no need for explanations now.
The Gondola ride of just a few minutes brought them back to the ruins.
Angel led them to the underground third floor of the ruins and pushed open the doors to the material warehouse, entering first.
He stopped by the artificial lake.
Kudou observed the surroundings; it was a very flat area adjacent to the artificial lake, where one could smell the moist air. As a nature apprentice, Kudou greatly appreciated the environment here.
However, Kudou was puzzled about why Angel had brought them here. Was their research topic located here?
This wasn’t just Kudou’s question but also what Babaya and Baruba were thinking. They didn’t dare to ask, only waiting quietly for Angel’s next move.
“The location here is good,” Angel murmured softly. Before the others could react, he pointed a finger, and a gust of air shot out, carrying a thick white mist that instantly obscured everyone’s vision.
When the mist cleared, beside the artificial lake stood a quaint little cottage. The cottage, with a domed double roof, had a red top and white walls adorned with cloud paintings. Wind chimes hung at the door, and near the chimney of the cottage, two small clouds floated by.
“You will live here from now on. The two clouds on the roof are cloud soil, and rooms are also installed on them. Kudou and Babaya, you can choose to live on the cloud soil or just in the house,” Angel pointed at the wooden house.
“Lord, is this a magic cottage?” Kudou looked at the house, which seemed like something out of a fairytale, and asked curiously.
“No, this is merely an illusion.”
An illusion? Surprise flashed in everyone’s eyes. Kudou hesitated for a moment, then approached the house and touched the staircase.
He felt a distinct wooden texture under his fingertips.
Is this really an illusion? Kudou was somewhat incredulous. If it was an illusion, why could he feel such a real touch?
Though Kudou didn’t voice his question, his eyes said it all.
Angel chuckled and said, “This is indeed an illusion, maintained by a magic crystal. As long as you don’t deliberately destroy it, the Illusionary Cottage can remain for several years without any problems.”
Angel chose to use an illusion to create their living quarters not because he couldn’t cast a magic cottage, but simply because casting a magic cottage requires some materials, which, even if not particularly valuable, are somewhat wasteful. Whereas an illusionary cottage, only requiring the very rare nodes of illusion magic combined with the power of Nightmare Illusion, can create a deceptively real house and save a lot.
This was also a unique method of Nightmare Illusion manipulation that Angel gradually developed after initially creating rooms for Sparrow Blossom.
“As for how exactly you’ll live, you can decide when the time comes. Next, I want to talk about your work.”
As Angel’s words ended, the three standing near the illusionary cottage all stepped back in front of Angel.
Although their expressions reveal nothing, everyone is actually somewhat apprehensive inside. With their abilities, can they really be up to the task given by Angel?
While everyone is uneasy, Angel takes out three single-lens glasses emitting a faint silver light from his pocket and hands them over to the three.
For Baruba, it’s a normally sized monocle. But for Babaya and Kudou, it’s almost a half-body mirror.
The monocle is actually the “Login Device” of the Wilderness of Dreams. Angel hasn’t yet crafted login devices adapted for the Kulakuka tribe, so Babaya and Kudou have to make do with these.
After the three examine the monocles, Angel then says, “I’ll explain your specific tasks later, now first activate the login devices in your hands.”
Everyone is puzzled. Why is a monocle called a login device? They dare not ask and can only follow Angel’s instructions to activate the monocles one by one by infusing them with magic.
As they activate the login devices, all three are simultaneously drawn into the Dream Bridge.
With a snap of his fingers, Angel conjures a soft illusionary sofa beneath him. Then, he casts a Nightmare Illusion onto himself and, with a swirl of light and shadow, he transitions from reality into the Wilderness of Dreams.
Angel appears in a newly built small garden in the central park of Initial Heart City.
As the presence of plants filled the area with leisure seekers during the day, the small garden was now silent and deserted at night.
When Angel entered the small garden, the Power Tree within his mental space began to rustle without wind.
The power representing the “Gate of Dreams” sent Angel three alerts: “Beware, an external entity has entered the Wilderness of Dreams!”
Angel disregarded the warnings, choosing to allow their entry.
With his permission, the three figures, previously barred from the Gate of Dreams, felt a dazzling light emanating from the darkness. As the light engulfed their forms, they broke through the barriers of reality and descended into the dream garden.
