There was no reason for Bobota to destroy the rune hub for no reason.
Bobota must have his own reasons for doing such a horrible thing.
But Angor couldn't imagine why an apprentice would go through so much trouble to come to Rasudran to complete such a mission. Even a truth-finder wizard or a wizard might not be able to complete such a task, let alone an apprentice.
Bobota's request must be very urgent, and he had no choice but to do it. The only things Angor could think of in such a short time were "Nightclub Owner Promotion" and "Aurucia's arrival at the outer layer".
Perhaps Bobota was doing this for one reason or both.
But neither of these two things required the destruction of the inscription hub, right? Or was his speculation wrong? Perhaps Bobota's purpose was something else?
He recalled Bobota saying something like, "No one can stop the rekindling of the fire of my race! No one!"
The rekindling of our race.
Last time, when Angor saw Bobota through his scout puppet, Bobota also said something similar, "Become the new flame of our race."
Maybe it had something to do with Bobota's goal. But Angor didn't know Bobota well enough, so he couldn't analyze it further.
There was something else Angor couldn't figure out. Bobota couldn't have predicted all these. He must have his own sources. Angor believed that someone was guiding Bobota behind the scenes.
But who was that someone?
Back at the lava pool, Bobota once said to the demon who was devoured by the chain, "You were devoured by that greedy old bastard, and you still want to be reborn!"
Angor thought Bobota was talking about the chain. But he made the chain not long ago, which did not fit the description of a greedy old man. Now that he thought about it, maybe the "old man" Bobota was talking about was the one behind the chain.
Angor had a lot of thoughts, but they were all just guesses. The more he thought about it, the more complicated the information would be, and the easier it would be to hide the truth.
Angor forced himself to stop thinking about it and try to sort out the facts he already knew.
While he was doing that, the fighting noises outside suddenly stopped.
Angor was surprised. Did the battle end already?
He slowly opened the door a crack and saw a tall figure standing outside.
It was Sunders.
The light from the statue cast a deep shadow on Sunders' face. Angor could clearly see that Sunders was frowning as if he was thinking about something. When the door was pushed open, Sunders looked at Angor and raised an eyebrow. "Time to leave."
…
Several minutes later, Angor saw the gate of the tower in front of them.
"Fafnir and Komodo are still fighting outside. It's too dangerous to go out now. Let's not leave yet. It's safer to stay here." Angor shook his head.
Angor nodded. The exit was already in front of him, and he finally relaxed after seeing Sunders.
They found a nearby place to rest and sat down.
"How's Bobota doing?" Angor finally had the time to ask.
Sunders frowned again at the mention of Bobota. "He's almost as strong as one of the Seven Demon Lords. However, he managed to reach such a high level in such a short time, and he's not good at using his own energy. It's easy to win a fight against him, but his body is too tough. It won't be easy to kill him in a short time. If he wants to run away, he won't stay. "
In other words, Bobota was forced to run away.
Sunders looked at Angor again. "You told Kanter that you saw Bobota in Rasudran?"
Angor nodded and told Sunders about what the scout puppet saw in the lava pool.
"… I thought Bobota was your informant."
"Rasudran is located in the void, and it's guarded by the Seven Demon Lords. It's not as easy to infiltrate as other demon cities. Wizards can easily become cannon fodder here, so no one would send an apprentice to spy on them."
Sunders considered Angor's words. Bobota used the identity of a Purgatory Flame Slave to sneak into Rasudran and killed a large number of Purgatory Flame Slaves. Also, the scout puppet saw Bobota devouring the Purgatory Flame Slaves' corpses with chains.
No one dared to believe that this series of actions was done by an apprentice sorcerer.
However, Sunders did recall that Bobota was only an apprentice a month ago. Kanter often asked Bobota to help him level up in games, so Sunders had a good impression of the boy.
But according to Angor, such an apprentice was the one who destroyed Rasudran Castle?!
"What do you know about Bobota?" Sunders asked, "And how did you meet him?"
"I don't know much about Bobota. I've only met him a few times. Back in Brute Cavern …" Angor told Sunders everything about his encounter with Bobota. He also shared his analysis of the strange things that Bobota had said earlier.
Sunders fell into deep thought after listening to the story.
Angor was also thinking about Bobota's words. Bobota kept emphasizing that "no one can stop the rekindling of our race". This was obviously important information. Sunders guessed that this was Bobota's ultimate goal in coming to Rasudran.
However, Angor needed to know more about Bobota's background first.
But he didn't know much about Bobota's background. The only information he knew was from Bobota's own words. For example, it was their custom to keep their names passed down for a long time. For this reason, their people would use all kinds of strange methods to name themselves so that people would remember them.
Bobota's name was strange enough, but his sister's name was even stranger.
Angor suddenly thought of something and looked up. "Professor, do you know which country's national bird is called 'Flower Sparrow'?"
He remembered that Bobota once told him that his sister's name was their country's national bird. If Sunders could find out which country they came from, he might be able to figure out their race.
"Flower Sparrow? That sounds familiar. " Sunders pondered for a moment and drew a small circle in the air with his finger, which created an illusion. "You mean this bird?"
A brightly colored bird appeared in the air.
Emerald green feathers, pigeon-blood-red patterns, ocean-blue eyes … The bird looked colorful, but what was special was the patterns on the bird. They looked like eyes, but they also looked like the tail feathers of a peacock when it spread its tail.
The bird happily fluttered in the air and slowly landed on Sunders' fingertip, releasing a pleasant chirp.
"I once saw this bird in Kashmar Highland. According to the locals, it's called 'Flower Sparrow'. It's a common bird, nothing special. I never heard of any country using it as their national bird. " Sunders paused and gave Angor a curious look. "Why are you suddenly asking about it?"
Angor didn't answer. His mind was in a daze.
It was because of the illusion of the flower sparrow in front of him.
He really did see the flower sparrow before.
In front of him, he saw a little girl in a yellow dress looking at him with sparkling eyes. He could even hear her calling his name in a soft and tender voice, "Brother Padt."
Angor took out a necklace from his bracelet. The pendant was a heart-shaped ruby. The gem was crystal clear and had sixteen sides carved by a jewelry maker. Under the illumination of the fire statue, the smooth surface reflected a bright light.
Sunders watched him with a puzzled look.
He took out the necklace and gently rubbed the edge of the ruby. Click! A small hidden compartment opened as if he had triggered some kind of mechanism.
Sunders noticed that the hidden compartment was empty. Nothing was inside. But when he looked at the hidden compartment, something strange appeared in his eyes.
A moment later, Angor looked up and spoke in a soft voice.
"I think I know where Bobota came from."
…
"I've always felt that Bobota gave me a strange sense of déjà vu, like he was somehow familiar. But when I learned that Bobota changed his name to 'Flower Sparrow' by the lava pool, something flashed in my mind. But I didn't remember anything. " Angor considered for a moment. "I just remembered something when I saw your illusion."
Angor explained the whole story in detail.
It all started from the heart-shaped necklace.
Angor once visited Dark Castle in Fairy World. Back then, he found the skeleton of a child in the graveyard outside the castle. The necklace was near the child's body. The hidden compartment inside the necklace wasn't empty. There was a piece of silk inside. On the silk was a picture of a smiling little girl with curly hair and a young man who had his arm around her shoulder. However, the young man's face was damaged, so Angor couldn't see his face clearly. The girl's right hand was raised high. A small bird with a pattern that looked like an eye or a peacock's feather was flapping its wings on the back of her hand.
The skeleton belonged to the little girl in the picture.
