"Is that the Transpirator? Is that true? "
The Scholar looked at the situation in shock. She was hiding in the garden of a villa with Cryopteris. Not far from them, the spaceplanes on the square all flew up.
The spaceplanes whizzed past in the sky as if they were looking for the Scholar.
"Yes … all of them." Cryopteris said, "They pretended to be spaceplanes and stayed here. I think … they should have arrived after Fledgling activated the Frozen Void. With such a big commotion, there's no way they wouldn't know."
"But …"
"But they didn't directly conduct a large-scale investigation here. Instead, they pretended to be spaceplanes to conduct a small-scale investigation. Then … do you know why?" Cryopteris said, "Perhaps they wanted to use a more subtle and sneaky method to capture Fledgling. Or perhaps they had other plans, so they didn't directly capture him."
"Other plans?" The Scholar asked, "What kind of plans?"
"Earlier, when Fledgling opened the Frozen Void connection …" Cryopteris said, "This … made all the hidden locations closer to each other."
"The Transpirator had been wanting to do this for a long time." Cryopteris said, "They wanted to merge the hidden locations together. So, they wanted to use some of the things in the Dust World to do this. However, this plan failed. Due to the creatures called 'Luminous Fireflies', the devices and whatnot that the Transpirator left in the Dust World were all destroyed by the Luminous Fireflies."
"However, the Transpirator definitely didn't want to give up on this plan," Cryopteris said. "This Fledgling just happened to show this ability at this time …"
"The Transpirator probably wanted to use Fledgling's ability to help them complete the merging plan." Cryopteris said, "Perhaps … capturing and torturing Fledgling wouldn't work, so they wanted to use another method."
The Scholar looked at Cryopteris in shock. "You know so much …"
"This is what Lin told me. More accurately, she told 'us'," Cryopteris said.
"… Lin?" The Scholar asked, "But why didn't I …"
Cryopteris said, "You only told us and not you. Are you jealous?"
"Me?" The Scholar froze for a moment and quickly said, "I'm not like that …"
"You'll find out soon enough." Cryopteris looked at the flying spacecrafts in the sky and said, "After some speculation, I think … the Evaporator might be using this method to capture us slowly to give the youngling more time, but it is also … forcing it to reopen the connection of the frozen void and bring the construction sites closer to each other."
"Is that so …" The scholar said, "Then what should we do? If that's the case, the Evaporator won't let us escape, right? Right now, they're just pretending that they can't find us … In fact, they're trapping us so that we have no way out … until the young ones reopen the connection to solidify the void? "
"No, they really can't find us now." Cryopteris said, "There's one thing wrong with the Transpirators' plan. They don't know what their young are thinking."
Cryopteris said, "The youngling … wants to help us escape."
"What?" The Scholar said in shock, "How did you … Right, that voice …"
"Yes, the voice that warned us that we would be captured was from the youngling," Cryopteris said.
"Is that so?" The Scholar then asked the bag in her hand, "Do you want to help us escape?"
"…" The bag did not answer.
"It might not be able to talk all the time." Cryopteris said, "But it must have used some method to help us hide from the Evaporator's detection. The Evaporator can't find us now."
"We just need to … leave this place quietly."
"Leaving this place quietly is possible …" The Scholar looked at the flying spacecrafts in the sky and said, "But without spacecrafts, we can't leave this place … Right, there's a place with spacecrafts."
The Scholar said, "That place is … near the palace. There are some armed spacecrafts we can take there."
"If that's the case, let's go there quickly," Cryopteris said. "The longer we wait, the more likely they will find us …"
As they spoke, the Scholar and Cryopteris started moving again. They used the houses and metal plants as cover and hid on the ground as they moved. During this time, Cryopteris updated the Scholar's system. After the update, the Scholar could now detect … the Evaporator's detection range.
The Evaporator's spacecrafts could cover a large area, but the Scholar and Cryopteris seemed to have a very special invisible area. Even if they entered the Evaporator's detection range, it would not be a problem.
However, they could not get too close. It was best to have some cover, so they had to use something to hide. Because other than detection, the Evaporator seemed to have a direct observation system similar to vision. This kind of thing could not be blocked.
Cryopteris said that it was Lin who updated the system. As for why it did not update the Scholar directly, it seemed to be because … there was something strange in the Scholar's' consciousness'.
What was this strange thing?
Cryopteris did not get an answer to this question. Instead, they decided to leave first …
Soon, they approached the location of the 'palace'. The palace … was just like its name, a palace.
It was luxurious and huge. It looked like a medieval castle made of stone. In front of the building, there was a large garden and a lawn with many statues and art pieces.
Anyone who came here would feel that this place was quite … luxurious. This was also the place where the ruler of this world lived.
On the lawn in front of the palace, there were some armed spacecrafts. These spacecrafts were disc-shaped and looked like decorations in the garden. They blended in well with the surroundings.
"If we fly this out, will we be discovered?" The Scholar came to the side of one of the disc-shaped spacecrafts. Although there were no Evaporator spacecrafts in the sky, this place was still within the Evaporator's detection range.
In fact, even if they were tens of thousands of kilometers away, they would still be able to detect them.
"They won't notice us, but they will notice something flying out," Cryopteris said. "So, if we let a lot of them fly out at once, they won't attack directly. Instead, they will catch them first."
