“What’s the situation with this light green bubble?”
Angel was pondering when a brownish-yellow bubble popped up: “It seems another lost child has stumbled in.”
Shortly after, a pinkish-green bubble also said, “I went over and saw, at the forum, another one broke in. Under the article —**** Prophecy of the Distant Prospect—, there’s a strange new reply.”
Brownish-yellow bubble: “Alas, there’s no helping it, after all, this is their home ground. Come and go as they please.”
Upon reading this, Angel probably understood what was happening. In the Mother Tree Network, the only entities that could call it their home ground were the Dream Plant Fairies.
He relayed the situation in the Tree Group to Angel, and Jon’s reply confirmed his guess.
“Those two new bubbles are definitely Dream Plant Fairies attracted by the superficial network,” Jon stated confidently. “That special pattern is the consciousness script of the Dream Plant Fairies. Just by seeing this script, their identity can be confirmed.”
According to Jon, for the Dream Plant Fairies immersed in ****, the superficial network is like the lighthouse in the Land of Eternal Darkness, a bright wall in the dark world, extremely dazzling.
From time to time, curious Dream Plant Fairies would come for a visit.
However, the current function of the superficial network holds little attraction for the Dream Plant Fairies, and they usually leave after a brief tour.
Indeed, shortly after Jon finished speaking, Angel saw the two light spots representing the Dream Plant Fairies drift out from the interface of the Tree Group and the Mother Tree Forum, then dissolve into nothingness.
“Although the superficial network currently holds little attraction for the Dream Plant Fairies, those little guys seem to treat coming to the superficial network as a sort of adventure game. The two light spots you mentioned, once they return to ****, will turn this escapade into a topic of conversation, to share with other companions, and then…” Jon sighed, “more Dream Plant Fairies, hearing of the superficial network, will purposefully come to continue the adventure.”
Jon, frowning and looking troubled, reminded Angel of his childhood. When there was a bumper harvest of acorns, a rogue squirrel with its family would sneak into Jon’s stilt house to steal nuts. Jon and Angel were troubled by this for a long time, and Jon’s brows were always furrowed like this.
Although it felt infuriating at the time, thinking back now, even the rogue squirrel’s rascally demeanor seems somewhat endearing.
“What are you thinking about, why are you smiling?” Jon looked puzzled at Angel, who was sighing but still managed to smile.
Angel restrained his smile: “Do you find these Dream Plant Fairies troublesome?”
Jon shook his head: “Troublesome, not really. I actually like their pure nature, and I welcome their willingness to communicate. My current worry is the lack of Privacy. They come and go as they please, making many topics difficult to discuss.”
“Although it’s not a problem now, if the superficial network begins to gain popularity in the future, and users don’t have privacy protection, it will become a nightmare.”
Sanders, hearing this, also nodded subconsciously. Their purpose for coming this time was actually Jon’s suggestion, to leave messages for each other in the Tree Group if they entered the Wilderness of Dreams at different times.
But if these messages don’t have privacy protection, many important topics can’t be discussed.
Of course, this is not an issue for now, but it’s hard to say in the future.
To develop the superficial network, privacy protection must be put on the agenda.
Angel also agreed, “I’ll think of a way, to see if I can start with the powers of the Tree Civilization to make modifications.”
To achieve privacy protection, either the superficial network must be isolated from the Mother Tree Network; or, make the pathway for **** to enter the superficial network more difficult.
Which pattern is more appropriate still requires long-term adjustment.
Angel, though capable of making decisions, realizes that true adaptation takes time. He can’t always keep an eye on things, and it would be ideal if someone could take on the authority of the Tree Civilization.
This brings us back to the old problem, which, unfortunately, is still difficult to solve at present.
Angel handed the black stone disc back to Jon without much elaboration, instead turning his attention to Sanders beside him: “How about using this to leave messages for each other, mentor?”
Sanders pondered for a moment before nodding: “That could work.”
Before this, Sanders never realized how important the Mother Tree Network was. Initially, when Angel placed great importance on it, he didn’t quite understand; but after experiencing it firsthand today, his perspective changed.
Everything Sanders experienced today, from the portability of the core to the surface network, made him feel comfortable and convenient.
Especially the surface network, which was an eye-opener for him.
The delayed communication of the Tree Group, while useful, did not surprise Sanders much; what really amazed him was the Mother Tree Forum. In the forum, he saw a collection of academic topics, academic exchanges, academic education, topic aggregation, and classification, among other positive aspects.
Although these could be replaced by other means, integrating them made it more intuitive and convenient.
Moreover, currently, only Jon was posting content. Just imagine the future? If the extraordinary topics of all major wizard organizations were combined, what a great collision of thoughts that would be.
However, when that day comes, privacy issues will come to the fore, and then it’s not just as simple as the Dream Plant Fairy but also involves other wizard organizations’ avoidance or trust in the Savage Grottoes.
But there’s always a solution to any problem. Besides, even if the Mother Tree Forum is not opened to the public, just having academic exchanges within the Savage Grottoes could create a good effect.
It’s because of this vision that Sanders’ view of the Mother Tree Network being useless changed.
Whether it can reach the heights imagined depends on future developments. However, Sanders now admits that the Mother Tree Network has considerable potential.
“How do you think the Mother Tree Network should develop in the future, mentor?” Angel, noticing the change in Sanders’ attitude towards the Mother Tree Network, didn’t ask about his mindset but inquired about the future.
Faced with this question, Sanders remained silent, shaking his head.
Although Sanders had many thoughts, he did not intend to express them. His statements might not be correct; after all, he had not foreseen the potential of the Mother Tree Network. It’s better to let Angel and Jon freely develop in the future.
Sanders also believed that Angel, valuing the Mother Tree Network so highly, must have foresight.
He was also curious to see whether under Angel’s guidance, the Mother Tree Network would unleash its full potential or be a small stone sinking into the sea, causing no waves.
……
Having confirmed that the Tree Group could leave messages for each other, they had achieved their purpose for the visit.
Now, the task was to create a medium for Sanders that could carry him into the Mother Tree Network.
According to Jon, the black stone disc, though rudimentary, would take some time for the stonemason to polish, probably about half a day.
However, the black stone disc was just a vessel and not mandatory; another format could be used.
So, Angel first returned to reality and casually refined a large box of palm-sized transparent thin plates from discarded glass, each with a space inside for Mother Tree branch powder. Then, using the Dream Conch, he brought them to the Wilderness of Dreams.
After adjustments, it was possible to enter the surface network using the transparent thin plates.
Sanders sent a text message to Angel in the Tree Group, confirming the usability of the transparent thin board.
Then, Sanders took the transparent thin board and left.
In reality, Sanders also said goodbye to Angel, planning to return to the Mirror World before immediately searching for Sumesh.
Although Sanders had left, Angel could sense through the “Tree Civilization” power that Sanders occasionally logged into the surface network over the next few hours, but initially, he said nothing, seemingly observing in secret.
Much later, Sanders left a comment under a post titled “Undeveloped Content on the Desktop” in the Mother Tree forum, asking about some minutiae not mentioned in the article.
Jon happened to see Sanders’ comment and started exchanging thoughts with him in the forum.
Kudou and Babaya also saw the two’s intellectual exchange on the forum, but they dared only to watch silently… especially after realizing the black bubbles represented Sanders, they guessed they would only read forum posts and never dare to comment again for a long time, to avoid angering Sanders with their ignorance.
After all, there are many cases in the Wizarding World of offending formal wizards with ignorant comments… some with dreadful outcomes.
However, Angel did not pay attention to the forum exchange, as after discussing the surface network with Jon for a while, he left the library.
Angel chose not to return to reality but used the “Gate of Dreams” power to locate the positions of other wizards.
Iron Armor Granny was in a newly opened flower tea shop, sipping tea while pondering over the newly sprouted flowers outside the shop.
Wallace was near Pat Manor, not because he discovered it was Angel’s residence, but simply because it was the center of the high magic zone, where he was eagerly studying virtual magic power.
Liana and Tree Spirit had left the high magic zone and headed out of the city. However, they did not travel together and went in different directions.
Hovering in mid-air for a while, Angel flew out of the city on a wild wind created by the Celestial Cycle.
Before long, Angel arrived at a small hollow about ten miles from Initial Heart City.
The hollow was surrounded by lush green grass and dotted with small flowers, and at the very top stood a solitary large tree.
A nearly naked man was sitting under the tree, listening to the wind and dozing off.
This man was Tree Spirit, who had parted ways with Liana outside the city.
The arrival of Angel, accompanied by a hurricane created by the Celestial Cycle, was sensed by Tree Spirit, despite his extremely weakened perception.
Opening his eyes, he saw Angel suspended in the wind.
“Hey, Angel, what brings you here?”
Looking at the lazily reclining Tree Spirit, Angel slowly descended: “Nothing much, just came to see Tree Spirit Lord.”
While saying so, Angel’s gaze was fixed on Tree Spirit, and the Power Tree in his mental space trembled slightly, as if undertaking some task.
Tree Spirit mistakenly thought Angel wanted to know why he and Liana had parted ways and said with a smile, “I took a stroll with Liana in Initial Heart City. Liana said that the construction of Initial Heart City was too rough, with a hodgepodge of styles and no reasonable urban planning. She didn’t like it. She definitely wouldn’t host a tea party in Initial Heart City, so she planned to go outside the city to see if there was a suitable place…”
Angel: “…” So critiquing city planning has become a common understanding.
Tree Spirit: “Speaking of which, I’m also curious about who built Initial Heart City. It’s so… wildly imaginative.”
Why add insult to injury?
Angel: “… Who knows.” Although he appeared indifferent, Angel had decided in his heart that he would immediately spur the construction of the new city when he returned. Once the new city was built, all newcomers would be sent there, and there would be no more criticism, only sheer amazement!
Tree Spirit seemed to sense something, a smile curling at his lips, but he didn’t continue this sad topic: “However, I personally thought that since you decided to open a branch of the tea party in the Wilderness of Dreams, you must have already scouted the location. There’s no need to go to the outskirts yourself.”
“But Liana didn’t listen and was stubborn about going outside to look.”
Angel nodded in understanding, guessing that this was why Tree Spirit and Liana had parted ways.
What Angel didn’t understand, though, was why Tree Spirit, with such foresight, knowing he would choose a suitable tea party location in advance, also left Initial Heart City?
Considering that many places outside Initial Heart City are not in a high magic zone, with a low concentration of virtual magic power, probably not even a second level trick could be cast. Otherwise, Tree Spirit wouldn’t have walked for most of the day to get just ten kilometers away from Initial Heart City.
“The reason I left Initial Heart City is that I found some interesting things.” Tree Spirit slowly stood up and looked back at the solitary large tree on the hillside.
“From the moment I stepped into this land, I noticed that every grass and tree here gave me a very strange feeling.”
Tree Spirit slowly walked towards the large tree, his forehead lightly touching the trunk, as if listening to the heart of the tree.
This seemingly ordinary action, in Angel’s eyes, carried a peculiar sense. Especially when Tree Spirit pressed his forehead against the trunk, Angel felt as if he saw a distant towering tree, comfortably stretching its sturdy branches and swaying in the wind.
Angel: “Tree Spirit Lord, what is this feeling you speak of?”
Tree Spirit shrugged: “Hard to describe, but I can clearly feel that somewhere in this direction, there is a consciousness that makes me feel close. It seems to want to tell me something, so I plan to go see it.”
At this point, how could Angel not understand? Resonating with Tree Spirit was the Mother of all Dream Plant Fairies and the core that brought life to the Wilderness of Dreams——
The Mother Tree of Civilization.
