The Savage was moving fast. The scenery on the ground kept changing. One second, it was a beautiful scenery, and the next second, it was a long river.
About half an hour later, Angor suddenly felt that the air was getting thinner. He even had difficulty breathing. He looked at Sailum and saw the boy's lips were pale. His nostrils flared and puffed out clouds of white smoke.
"Are you alright, Sailum?" Angor asked worriedly.
Sailum's cheeks turned red and his eyes became misty. He spoke in a weak voice, "I'm fine. But I don't know why. I feel a little dizzy and nauseous."
"The Savage is now at Parmigi Highlands." The first mate's voice was heard through the loudspeaker. "We'll be disembarking in half an hour. All talents, get ready to disembark."
"Parmigi Highlands is located at the border between the Goman Kingdom and the Evernight Kingdom. The average altitude is 3,500 meters above sea level." Angor recalled the map he saw in the library and told the captain what he knew.
Then he looked at Sailum who was blushing like an apple. He touched Sailum's forehead and felt a slight heat.
"So it's a symptom of the highlands after the sudden increase in altitude." Angor checked Sailum's pupils. "But it's not serious yet. It's mainly caused by the lack of oxygen."
"What should we do now?" Nausica put out her pipe and walked to Sailum with a concerned look.
Sailum's legs wobbled and looked like he was going to fall. Angor quickly caught him. "Let's get him off the deck first. The cold wind is already making it hard to breathe. The wind will only make it worse."
The two helped Sailum up. "Let's go to the common room. There's hot water there. It's important to stay hydrated on the highlands. "
Not only was there hot water in the common room, but there was also plenty of oxygen thanks to the magic array. This was the first place Angor thought of.
"I didn't know you knew medicine." Nausica placed Sailum on a bench and poured him a glass of water while smiling at Angor.
Angor skillfully massaged several major acupoints on Sailum's body to relieve the boy's symptoms. "I know some emergency treatment. My first mentor taught me."
"Your teacher is a doctor?" Nausica handed the water to Sailum.
Sailum blushed and buried his face in the scarf shyly. Earlier, Angor reached his hand into Sailum's clothes and massaged his acupoints, which made Sailum quite embarrassed. He wanted to stop Angor, but after Angor's massage, he felt the nausea in his chest eased a lot. Even though he knew Angor was treating him, he still felt shy and wished he could find a hole to hide in.
Sailum took the opportunity to drink some water and covered his face with the big mug.
Angor did not notice Sailum's awkwardness. Back in Padt Manor, he often massaged Jon with traditional Chinese medicine techniques, so he was used to this kind of skin contact. He thought that this was a very serious therapeutic massage, but he forgot that Chinese medicine was not a method of this world.
"No." Angor couldn't help but recall the days when he spent time with Jon. Jon was so knowledgeable that he could always answer any question Angor asked. He was a true scholar who knew everything from astronomy to geography.
"My teacher is a very knowledgeable man. He knows a lot of things." Angor did not want to talk about Jon too much. Jon's identity was too sensitive. Even if it was just a normal conversation with Nausica, he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
After sitting in the common room for a while, Sailum's altitude sickness eased a lot, and the redness on his face faded away.
Once he felt better, Sailum wanted to go to the deck again. He wanted to have a bird's eye view of Brute Cavern from above.
"Don't go to the deck. We're getting off the ship soon. We'll be living in Brute Cavern from now on anyway. Don't worry," Angor said.
Nausica, who was standing in front of the glass window in the common room, suddenly spoke up, "I think you won't be able to see the scenery even if you go to the deck."
Looking out of the small window, Sailum could see everything in the distance.
The entire highland was covered in brown and green. There were no tall trees, only short, cold-resistant plants. Looking from above, he could not see the end of the highland, but the scenery was almost the same.
The ground was uneven. Most of the tops were flat and wide. Sometimes there were traces of snow, but most of them were grasslands.
Such a desolate scenery did not look "grand" at all as Sailum expected.
Sailum looked around in front of the window and could not help but feel disappointed. But he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. There were no buildings in sight. The unknown was a fantasy!
However, the first mate's announcement was broadcasted across the airship again.
"We've arrived at our destination. The Savage is about to land. All talents, gather at the exit."
As soon as he finished, the airship began to descend slowly. Sailum took the chance to look out of the window again. It was still desolate.
Nausica smiled. "It's already a blessing to be able to enter Brute Cavern. Don't think too much."
With that, she turned around and left. "I'm going to get my luggage. See you at the exit."
Angor said goodbye to Sailum who was still depressed. He went back to get his luggage and his bird and left the room.
On the narrow path of the airship, Angor saw other talents. They all looked at Angor with a snicker. His current situation was too urgent.
He had … too much luggage! Most of them were Toby's.
Plus, he also brought two giant oil paintings, which made his luggage even more bloated. Compared to the others who were traveling with light luggage, Angor looked like he brought an entire tent with him. No wonder everyone was snickering when they saw him.
Angor pretended to scold Toby a few times, but the bird did not care about it at all. Angor was so angry that he kneaded Toby's feathers into a ball. Toby kept muttering in protest, but it could not escape from Angor's evil hands. However, no matter how he punished Toby, Angor had to accept his fate as a porter in the end.
Angor carried his luggage to the rendezvous point. He did not see Sunders or Flora there. There were only talents and Phantom Servants.
Under the guidance of the Phantom Servants, all talents got off the airship in an orderly manner.
When everyone was done, the Phantom Servants returned to The Savage and disappeared into the blue sky under everyone's gaze.
Only ten talents and a bird were left behind on the desolate brown soil.
The cold wind from the highland made everyone shiver.
They looked around and saw nothing but grassland. They were on a high slope, and there was a giant pit about a hundred meters away. This was a desolate highland landscape, and there were no signs of man-made buildings.
So … where was Brute Cavern?!
