For the next two days, Sanders’ door remained locked, and he never came out. Every time Angel went to visit, he was met with a closed door.
During this time, Flora did go in a few times, but each time she came out, she seemed in a hurry and disappeared quickly.
Although Angel was somewhat worried that Sanders might have encountered some problems in the Nightmare Plane, he had no right to interfere with other people’s affairs, just as he had told Wimbledon before. Besides, Sanders clearly didn’t want him to get involved, so Angel could only try his best to cooperate.
Phantom Island had been experiencing continuous gloomy and rainy weather for several days. Goode came to consult with Angel about whether they should move the island slightly. Before Angel made a decision, the rain finally stopped, revealing a clear blue sky.
Angel sat on a chair near the greenhouse, basking in the sun and reading —Dwarf Mound Plane Alchemy Material Collection—. In order to quickly reach the minimum level of the Eye of Nalda, he had been tirelessly studying alchemy books for days.
His efforts were not in vain, as his knowledge rapidly increased. Angel estimated that he would reach the minimum level required for the Eye of Nalda in just a couple of days.
Angel was so absorbed in his reading that he didn’t notice Wimbledon’s hesitant expression nearby. Even if he had noticed, he wouldn’t have been able to tear himself away from the book to tell the story of Peter Pan or talk about Ananda.
When the sound of flapping wings came from outside the woods, Angel looked up for the first time.
It was Toby, who he hadn’t seen for several days.
During the days when Angel was studying diligently on Phantom Island, Toby had been wandering outside. Angel assumed that Toby didn’t want to see Gloria, so he didn’t specifically look for him. However, he didn’t expect Toby to voluntarily come to him today.
“What, you’re not afraid of Lady Gloria today? You even came to me on your own initiative?” Angel raised an eyebrow. “You’re not wearing the panda costume today. This hat made of petals looks nice.”
Toby looked around to make sure Gloria wasn’t nearby before showing a relieved and grateful expression on his face.
“Lady Gloria has been too busy to deal with you these days,” Angel laughed. “Where have you been playing these days? You haven’t returned even once. I’ve been thinking that if you don’t come back tomorrow, I might have to ask Tree Spirit to conduct a full-scale search for you.”
Toby chirped twice, but instead of landing on Angel’s shoulder, he flapped his wings and gestured to Angel.
After watching Toby for a while, Angel’s eyebrows furrowed: “You’re saying you brought your little friend here?”
Toby lowered his head sheepishly.
“They’re outside Phantom Island right now? You’re really doing things without asking first…” Angel wanted to say something, but sighed and stopped. “Forget it, let’s go see the situation first.”
As Angel followed Toby towards the outskirts of Phantom Island, Toby also told him where he had been these days.
As it turned out, Toby had gone to find the little friend who had betrayed him before.
Last year, during the Twilight Auction, a “On Cloud 6” music box caused quite a stir, and its owner was actually Toby. However, Toby lent the music box to his partner, who ended up selling it.
Angel originally planned to accompany Toby to confront that traitorous little partner, but due to the fall of Shadow Demon City and being caught in an planar passage, he was unable to do so, and to this day, he has not met the partner Toby mentioned.
According to Toby’s description, his partner is small, with translucent yellow-white wings, and emits a faint floral scent, resembling some sort of fairy.
Now, Toby has brought that partner he was once so furious with to Phantom Island? And from Toby’s tone, it seems he not only forgave them, but also gets along well with them?
What kind of drama is this, one of love and hate?
Toby explained that his partner never intended to hand over the music box, but it was forcefully taken by their master. This caused a fierce argument between them, and eventually, for some unknown reason, the master abandoned them, leaving them to wander in the forest.
Toby observed them for several days before finally reconciling with them yesterday. The petal hat Toby was wearing was woven by his partner.
Of course, Angel didn’t believe Toby’s one-sided account, thinking that perhaps he was deceived. As for the truth, he would have to wait until he met Toby’s partner to make a judgment.
Some time later, Angel arrived at the outskirts of Phantom Island. Toby flew around in circles before landing on a piece of broken rock near the beach.
Angel looked over and saw a delicate fairy the size of a palm, shivering behind the broken rock next to Toby.
Upon closer inspection, the fairy seemed to have a beautiful appearance, a combination of both male and female characteristics, both heroic and charming.
Through Toby’s introduction, Angel learned that it was a Moon Bellflower Fairy.
Its intelligence had not yet fully awakened, and it could not speak. After being abandoned by its master, it naturally isolated itself from the outside world. If it hadn’t been for Toby bringing it along, it might still be struggling to survive in a corner of the forest.
After hearing Toby’s story and confirming that he was not lying, Angel curiously looked at Toby and asked: “So what do you plan to do now? Did you bring it here to stay on Phantom Island?”
Toby lowered his head sheepishly, gesturing with embarrassment.
“Find a safe place for it to stay?” Angel lifted his chin, pondering the situation.
To be honest, if Toby brought back another creature, Angel would likely refuse on the spot. But a flower fairy, especially a young one, would lower Angel’s guard considerably.
He had read many books about flower fairies and knew that they were generally pure and kind, unless they had a dark nature. Especially this young fairy who had not yet fully awakened, it probably had no hidden motives.
So, when Toby said its music box had been stolen by its master, Angel carefully considered the situation and felt that it might not be far from the truth.
Moreover, flower fairies generally weren’t very powerful, so keeping it on Phantom Island wouldn’t be a problem.
“There’s no harm in staying, but what can you do?” Angel looked down at the Moon Bellflower Fairy and asked in a low voice.
The Moon Bellflower Fairy couldn’t speak, but it understood. It gestured timidly to Angel, who naturally couldn’t comprehend it. In the end, Toby served as a translator, and Angel barely understood its meaning.
“It can only brew Moon Bellflower nectar and create Moon Bellflower fragrance? Both seem quite ordinary…” Angel muttered.
The Moon Bellflower Fairy lowered its head in fear, its future seemingly in the hands of the human before it.
After contemplating for a long time and seeing Toby’s pleading gaze, Angel finally nodded and said: “Alright, I don’t mind one more mouth to feed. Follow me.”
The Moon Bellflower Fairy carefully fluttered its petal-like wings and followed Toby into Phantom Island.
Though he agreed to keep the Moon Bellflower Fairy, Angel was pondering where to place it along the way.
Should he hand it over to the black shadow servant? It was an option, but after all, the black shadow servant’s true master was Sanders, so it would be overstepping his boundaries.
Or give it to the Damask Nano? Goode, the butler, mentioned that it had been idle recently, and giving him some work should be fine. However, thinking about Nano’s foul temper, Angel dismissed the idea. If the Moon Bellflower Fairy were to follow Nano, it might soon become an irritable fairy.
In the end, it seemed safest to hand it over to the Kulakuka tribe. The Kulakuka were naturally pure-hearted, so they could provide proper guidance to the Moon Bellflower Fairy. Besides, their sizes were similar, so there shouldn’t be any significant issues.
Interestingly, the Moon Bellflower Fairy was a Fairy of Flowers, and the Kulakuka tribe was once nicknamed “Fairy of the Attic.” They had some similarities.
With that in mind, Angel led the Moon Bellflower Fairy to the greenhouse.
Introducing the Moon Bellflower Fairy to the curious Kulakuka tribespeople, Angel thought for a moment and then called upon Grandma Babaya separately, hoping she could help teach the Moon Bellflower Fairy literacy and basic character.
Totoro had also stepped from ignorance to enlightenment under Grandma Babaya’s education, so when Angel wanted to teach, Babaya was the first to come to mind.
Grandma Babaya, being advanced in age and having nothing to do in the tribe, did not hesitate to take on the work arranged by Angel and, with a smile, took the Moon Bellflower Fairy to her single-room wooden cabin.
Seeing that the Moon Bellflower Fairy got along well with the Kulakuka tribe, Angel patted Toby on the head: “Feeling relieved now?”
Toby chirped and flew to Angel’s shoulder, rubbing his head against Angel’s cheek to show affection.
“You sure know how to make friends,” Angel said with a smile, and left the greenhouse with Toby.
Although the Moon Bellflower Fairy was left with the Kulakuka tribe, no one knew whether this decision was good or bad. Just in case, Angel asked the Goode butler to send a black shadow servant to watch. If the Moon Bellflower Fairy showed any changes, it would be killed immediately.
Furthermore, Angel set up a multidimensional illusion outside the greenhouse to confine the fairy’s movements.
Toby listened as Angel made these decisions and did not interfere, because it knew that if the Moon Bellflower Fairy really harbored ulterior motives, the greatest responsibility would fall on itself, as it was the one who brought the fairy to Phantom Island.
Once all the safety measures were in place, Angel asked: “By the way, who is the master of this Moon Bellflower Fairy? Have you asked? Although it said it was abandoned by its master, the magic servant mark is still on its body, and this unresolved issue is also a problem.”
Toby nodded and then indignantly gestured a few times to Angel.
“A female apprentice? Alright, if you want to handle this issue yourself, then go ahead. But be careful,” Angel didn’t ask any further. He couldn’t possibly be involved in every detail, and since Toby was closely related to the matter, Angel was confident in letting him handle it.
