Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 2109: Chapter 2110: First Look at the Developer Version

”Tree group messages?” A sense of puzzlement flashed in Sanders’ eyes; he did not understand Angel’s meaning.

Instead of immediately answering, Angel took Sanders back to the Wilderness of Dreams.

The place they entered in the Wilderness of Dreams was near a towering circular bookshelf. Sanders glanced around and quickly recognized that this was the second floor of the library in Originheart City, specifically the Mathematical Pavilion.

Sanders had visited this library before and was quite familiar with its layout. The knowledge housed in the Mathematical Pavilion required a certain level of foundation, so it was usually sparsely populated. However, in Sanders’ personal view, this pavilion was actually the most valuable section of the entire library.

From what Sanders knew, this pavilion was entirely created by Jon, and most of the books here were also authored by Jon.

Sanders knew that Jon came from another human civilization. Through the mathematical books Jon authored, one could catch a glimpse of the brilliance of that other human civilization.

The clash of civilizations’ ideas can be incredibly enlightening, which is one reason Sanders praises the Mathematical Pavilion.

Moreover, some of the formulas recorded in these mathematical books are fascinating. Although the formulas themselves are useless for the Extraordinary World, the logical chains formed during their derivations are the wisdom crystallizations of another human civilization, greatly benefiting wizards in probing the Magic Energy Formula.

Occasionally, Sanders would visit the Mathematical Pavilion out of curiosity, though he was puzzled as to why Angel brought him here if they were going to talk about the ”tree group?”

While Sanders was still confused, they had already walked out from among the bookshelves.

After turning through several side chambers, Angel found Jon’s current location.

Yes, Angel came here to see Jon. After all, the tree group was developed and created by Jon’s team. Although Angel had a vague understanding, the person who truly understood the tree group was Jon.

However, what Angel hadn’t anticipated was that Jon was not alone at the moment.

Typically, Jon would be revising books in the Mathematical Pavilion at this time. Indeed, Jon was revising, but sitting across from him was someone Angel hadn’t expected.

”Ironclad Granny?” Sanders’ soft sound of surprise came from behind Angel.

The person sitting opposite Jon was indeed the Ironclad Granny, who had mentioned wanting to wander around on her own before.

Despite the large pile of discarded drafts Jon no longer wanted on the table before her, Ironclad Granny maintained her elegant demeanor and chatted with Jon with a smile on her lips.

Sanders’ murmured exclamation made Ironclad Granny turn her head: ”So it’s you.”

Angel approached Ironclad Granny, softly greeted her, and she responded with a gentle smile.

Jon, sitting across from Ironclad Granny, turned to look at Angel with curiosity: ”You know each other? Judging by Angel’s level of respect for you, I presume Granny is also a wizard from the Barbarian Cave?”

Ironclad Granny’s eyes also sparkled with curiosity. She had come here simply intending to browse the library’s historical records but had been attracted by some books in the Mathematical Pavilion, leading to a chat with the author of the library’s collection. But she hadn’t expected that this author seemed connected with Angel and even knew about his real-life identity.

Ironclad Granny had been exploring Originheart City for a long time. Because she knew that most of the mortals here were still in a primitive stage, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams, Jon’s insight stood out as particularly special.

Angel didn’t know how Ironclad Granny found this place, but since they had already met, Angel simply introduced Jon’s identity briefly.

”So, this is the enlightening mentor you’ve been longing to save.” A flash of realization crossed Ironclad Granny’s eyes, followed by a slight smile at the corner of her lips: ”I now understand why your comprehension far exceeds ordinary people and why you’ve reached such heights in a short time.”

”The role your enlightening mentor plays is likely crucial.”

Angel wasn’t sure if Ironclad Granny meant her words genuinely or if they were courtesy in Jon’s presence, but from Angel’s perspective, he agreed with the sentiment. Without Jon’s dedicated guidance during his youth, he wouldn’t have achieved his current self.

”I originally thought you came to see me, but now it seems you are here for this gentleman.” Ironclad Granny slowly stood up: ”Then I won’t disturb you. I’ll continue my exploration.”

Ironclad Granny paused for a moment and nodded to Jon: ”Your knowledge is as vast as the sea, and your insights are very unique. I hope we have the opportunity to discuss again in the future.”

”Except for rest days, I come to the library at this time every Monday and Thursday to organize the texts.” Jon promptly replied. He had earlier speculated that this unseen elder might be a Transcendent, and now, having confirmed her identity, he naturally welcomed her for future exchanges. Firstly, Jon was inherently curious about the Extraordinary World; secondly, Ironclad Granny was Angel’s elder, and perhaps she could intercede for Angel, bringing him favorable outcomes.

With a smile, Ironclad Granny nodded slightly to everyone, then turned to leave the Mathematical Pavilion.

Once Ironclad Granny had left, Angel directed his gaze to Jon.

After some explanation, Jon understood the purpose of Angel and Sanders’ visit. He put down his pen and, while stroking his sparse beard with a hint of pride, said, ”I planned to tell you once the personal data registration, interface details, and various small features were perfected. I didn’t expect that brat Baruba to spill the beans in advance.”

”That’s right, the initial development version of the tree group has indeed entered internal testing.”

”Speaking of, Babaya and Kudodo made a significant contribution. Don’t be deceived by their small stature; their sensitivity within the Mother Tree network far surpasses Popota.” Jon paused, ”I even suspect that, like Flafiel, they have a very high compatibility with the Authority of the Tree Civilization.”

Regarding the secrets of Authority, Angel hadn’t hidden them from Jon, allowing him to speak such words.

”Kudodo is a Nature Witch, with high affinity for plants; although Babaya leans toward the bloodline side in reality, she’s inclined towards a plant bloodline, so their sensitivity to the Mother Tree network is also reasonable,” said Angel.

However, regardless of how sensitive they are, Angel could not hand over the Authority of the Tree Civilization to them. Given their experience and capability, they couldn’t bear such a heavy responsibility.

Setting aside these speculative topics, Jon continued discussing information about the Tree Group.

Currently, the function of the Tree Group is much like what Baruba mentioned before, which is real-time dialogue. As long as you are in the Wilderness of Dreams, you can summon a conversation window with a special device to chat in real-time.

Upon hearing this, Sanders fell into a moment of contemplation.

As for the Mother Tree Network, Sanders was certainly no stranger to it; Angel had mentioned it to him long ago. He also understood that the Mother Tree Network could facilitate real-time chat, but at the time, he didn’t give it much significance. He thought once someone exited the Wilderness of Dreams, finding them would still require waiting, rendering it meaningless.

But back then, he hadn’t considered that with a slight shift in thinking, converting the spirit body collision-style instant conversation into a text-based interface chat would not only achieve immediacy but also allow for delayed communication.

As long as the text is there, the information will not be lost.

This avoids some shortcomings and awkwardness of instant chatting since with written records, one can continue the exchange of information content at any time, anywhere.

This is something that face-to-face instant communication does not have.

At this point, Sanders finally understood why Angel had previously mentioned the tree group. As long as the messages on the tree group remained, he would not worry about missing any information.
