Chapter 2234 Harvest
Leaving the stormy sea of clouds, the gray mist shrouding the outside of the gondola slowly returned to Toby's body.
"I didn't expect that after the wind creatures on the Wind Island returned to their original positions, the wind on the Sea of Clouds would actually become stronger... Fortunately, Lord Toby is here, otherwise our ship would definitely be blown away." The speaker was leaning on Angel. Dangros at hand, who was still expressing normal emotions at the front, returned to his dog-licking nature later, looking at Toby with piercing eyes.
But Toby ignored Dangros at all, and instead focused on another elemental elf on the ship.
"Mr. Pat, where are we going next?" The speaker was a flying pig with fluttering wings, none other than Cubby.
"Rowbo Sea." Angel said as he looked at the distant sky.
Chubig was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but remind him: "Mr. Pat, the direction you are looking at is to the south, and the direction of Roubohai is to the north."
Angel: "..." You are the only one who talks too much.
…
The gondola continued to fly leisurely. It was already half a day since Angel left the Wind Island.
Ever since Mr. Magu told him that Roufeng Ouranos from Baibaiyun Township was one of the elemental creatures who had spent the longest time with Mr. Feng, Angel was full of expectations for coming to Feng Island.
He thought he would get a lot of information related to Feng from Roufeng Ouranos, but in fact, the information obtained was much less than he imagined.
And it's basically not important.
Roufeng Ouranos did get along with Feng for a long time, but their relationship was not as close as Angel imagined. The so-called getting along is actually just that Feng chose Fengdao to rest.
According to Roufeng Uranus's account, Angel restored the situation at that time.
After Feng came to Baibaiyun Township and saw Fengdao, he greatly appreciated Fengdao's unique environment and beautiful and dreamy ecology. Coupled with the emergence of inspiration for painting, he chose to settle in Fengdao for a period of time.
So, on the Forbidden Peak, Feng built that palace-like magic cabin.
When Feng lived in Fengdao, except for occasionally going to see the scenery, he basically painted in the magic cabin.
The paintings hanging all over the walls of the palace are Feng's paintings during that time.
Therefore, even though Feng has lived in Fengdao for a long time, he has very little time to get along with Roufeng Ouranos, and his time is basically spent on painting.
However, Mr. Magu didn't know the inside story. He thought that Feng and Roufeng Ouranos had been together for a long time, so there must be something involved, so he suggested Angel come to Baibaiyun Township. In fact, the relationship between Feng and Roufeng Ouranos is only average. Although they are closer than other elemental creatures, they are not too close.
Therefore, Angel did not get much useful information from Soft Wind Ouranos.
What's more, Feng's daily life in Fengdao, as well as his occasional emotional rants. Among them, words such as fate and providence were the sentiments that Feng often talked about at that time.
Although Roufeng Ouranos told Feng basically only the details of his life, Roufeng Ouranos had been with Feng for a year after all, and he had heard many of his usual laments, and occasionally he could still get some valuable information.
One of the pieces of news vaguely revealed why Feng came to the Tidal World.
This information may be related to Feng's layout, and Angel listened very carefully.
"At that time, the location of Fengdao had not yet floated above the sea of clouds. It was in the clouds and mist. We would occasionally encounter heavy rain and lightning. I still remember that there was a heavy rain that lasted for half a month. It was originally a little dry. Fengdao Lake has accumulated water again. Half a month later, the sky clears up, and the color of the sky is reflected in the windless and rainless lake, which is very beautiful.”
"Because it was rare for the sky to clear up, Mr. Feng also walked out of the palace on the Forbidden Peak and quietly admired the scenery of Fengdao after the rain. Later, Mr. Feng set his sights on Fengdao Lake."
Mr. Feng looked at Fengdao Lake and said to me: "A pool of stagnant water can glow with amazing beauty after a heavy rain. It's like the tidal world. What you see is only disaster, but what I see is blue waves. What the disaster brings to the tidal world may not be decadence, but a new life like Fengdao Lake.”
"This new life is also a sweet spring flowing into my exhausted lake of inspiration."
At this point, Mr. Feng sighed in a low voice: "Although my arrival is just a chapter of destiny written in that book, I have to say that everything here is nourishing my inspiration... I I want to paint.”
After finishing speaking, Mr. Feng turned around and returned to the palace, took out the drawing paper and started drawing again.
The above is the scene described by Roufeng Ouranos.
Putting aside the lengthy background description, the most crucial sentence in the entire paragraph is Feng's self-expression. He clearly stated that "his arrival is the chapter of destiny written in that book." Although this sentence is a bit confusing, it explains why Feng came to the tidal world.
Just as Roufeng Uranus said at the beginning, Feng may not have come to the tidal world on his own initiative, but he came here under the guidance of fate. And this destiny guide is related to a book?
This book may be an actual reference, which is indeed a real book; it may also be an imaginary reference, just using the image of "book" to express feelings about fate.
The specific one is currently unknown. Angel personally prefers the second one, because most of the prophetic wizards he has seen like to express fatalism, and the images of fatalism are often represented by "lines", "gears" and "books".
"Line" represents that fate is actually being led secretly, which is destiny.
"Gear" represents that fate is connected. No matter which direction you turn, you can only dance with other gears along the joints, which is also destiny.
"Book" is a metaphor that charlatans like to use, because the text is settled into a chapter. Comparing a person's fate to the text in a book, although the text can be modified in any way, it seems that the future will take a different path in the modification, but in fact, no matter how you modify it, you can't escape the shackles of "pages". It seems that there are countless future paths, but in fact, you are trapped by the concept of "book" from the beginning, which is also a kind of fatalism.
It is precisely because Angell understands the material of charlatans that Angell guessed that the "book" mentioned in Feng's words may be just a general reference.
What Feng really wants to express is actually only one sentence: He did not come here on his own initiative, but was pulled by fate to send him to the tidal world.
This information is one of the most useful information Feng said. Unfortunately, although it was confirmed that Feng might have come here because of destiny, there was no explanation as to why destiny led him to the Tide Realm.
And this may be the key to Feng's layout in the Tide Realm.
Later, Angel went to the Forbidden Peak with Roufeng Uranus. He wanted to ask about the painting of "The Glowing Road".
Roufeng Uranus was surprised to see the painting selected by Angel, because this painting was the only one in the entire palace that was not painted on Wind Island.
Therefore, Roufeng Uranus could not tell the story behind the painting.
However, Roufeng Uranus also gave a useful clue. This painting was painted before Feng settled in Wind Island. And before settling in Wind Island, Feng also spent a long time with two other elemental creatures.
Those two elemental creatures were Frost Iser and Namite.
In other words, if Angel wanted to learn more about Feng and the information about the "Luminous Road" painting, he could only ask Frost Iser and Naimeicui.
After that, Angel said goodbye to Soft Wind Uranus.
Then he stayed on Wind Island for another day, arranged the group of wind creatures in Storm Mountain, and then left.
...
As the gondola moved forward, Angel was also sorting out the gains from Baibaiyun Township this time.
Although the information obtained on Wind Island was not as much as Angel imagined, the overall gains were not small.
He and Soft Wind Uranus had reached a very friendly relationship. Even though Soft Wind Uranus had not yet let go of Angel's future plans, he also confirmed what Soft Wind Uranus thought from some of its attitudes.
Moreover, Soft Wind Uranus also told Angel that Hurricane agreed with Soft Wind Uranus's approach after reading the shadow box. And Hurricane also said that he would help persuade His Highness Hurricane after returning to Storm Mountain.
Angel was a little surprised at Hurricane's approval at first, but then he thought about it and it made sense. Although Hurricane is a vicious and aggressive person, it cares a lot about the lives of its own people and subordinates. If the tidal world is opened, humans and elemental life will be in opposition, and there will be a bloody storm at that time. It doesn't want to see its brothers die, so what Roufeng Uranus said about coexisting peacefully with humans can get Hurricane's approval.
Perhaps Hurricane has other ideas in his mind, but at least on the surface, it agrees with Roufeng Uranus.
Therefore, Angel later gave Hurricane the opportunity to meet its subordinates.
The above is Angel's ideological gains.
And Hurricane's subordinates are the real gains from this trip to Baibaiyun Township. Nearly a hundred wind creatures, plus three powerful wind generals, this is definitely a considerable fighting force.
However, they are not useful for the time being, so Angel left them on the Wind Island and asked Camus the Wise and the Gentle Wind Uranus to help.
However, not all wind creatures were left on the Wind Island. Angel also picked out two of them who were quite useful and accompanied him.
One of them was the three-headed lion dog Lobel. Lobel's tail was very smart and had the appearance of a wise man. He was also relatively familiar with the Tidal Realm. With him by his side, they might be able to avoid many detours.
The other one was not a wind general, but a small soldier named Speed Spirit. His strength was estimated to be about the same as that of Dou Teng Czech. But as the name suggests, Speed Spirit's talent is speed. Its speed is beyond imagination. Its normal flight speed is almost only a hair's breadth away from Toby opening the gravity veins.
Because of its talent for speed and the fact that Speed Spirit is a wind creature and can integrate into the wind at any time, it has traveled the entire Tidal Realm a long time ago.
Angel brought Speed Spirit with him, firstly because it was a living map, so he didn't have to worry about getting lost; secondly, he could integrate Speed Spirit into the gondola and become the "engine" of the gondola, which could increase the original sailing speed several times without consuming energy.
Because of Speed Spirit's engine bonus, they arrived at the Soft Wave Sea in just half a day. This was several days faster than their original plan.
It can be said that Angel was very satisfied with both Lobel and Speed Spirit.
In addition to these two, Angel also brought a wind creature, which was Qubiger in the elf stage.
When he first met Qubiger, Angel only knew him as a "naughty child". Later, when Camus the Wise asked him to take Qubiger away, Angel even thought Camus the Wise wanted to pass on the blame.
At that time, although Angel did not directly reject Camus, he did not think about actually taking Chubig away.
But as they got along with each other in the next few days, Angel discovered that this Cubby was actually much better than he imagined.
He thought that Chubig was a naughty child, but during the contact, he discovered that Chubig was actually not that badass. He behaved very calmly, and in terms of his calm personality, he even surpassed Dangros by more than one street.
Angel originally thought that Chubig was deliberately pretending, but later he discovered that although Chubig acted too restrained and cautious when he first met Angel, after he let go of his restraint, Chubig The stability has not disappeared. In other words, stability definitely accounts for a high proportion of Chubig's character traits.
As for why Chubig acted so bearishly when he first met him, Angel didn't know for the time being. Maybe there was something hidden, and Angel didn't explore it.
After confirming that Chubig's character was not that bearish, Angel did not consider taking Chubig away.
But when Angel was about to leave, the wise man Kamu came over again.
Kamu directly told Angel that it wanted Chubig to become Angel's "element partner".
This is the first time Angel has encountered such a situation of "rushing to deliver". However, Angel's desire for wind creatures is relatively low, and even if he really wants to choose wind creatures, he hopes to be able to choose them. One that is consistent with oneself.
Angel didn't know Chubig's talents, abilities, or thoughts. Even if Camus rushed to deliver him, he couldn't give a definite answer.
However, this was the first elemental creature Angel had ever encountered whose parents actively agreed to their children signing a partnership with a wizard. In Angel's view, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as a landmark event.
He thought for a while and finally came to a compromise.
During this period, he would first take Chubig with him to see his abilities and personality. If he was compatible with him, he would then discuss whether to become an elemental partner.
Even if they are not compatible, Angel will introduce a good-tempered wizard to Chubig, which can satisfy Camus' wish and at least take Chubig to see the wider human world.
