Kim? A fat figure flashed through Thewis' mind. He had a deep impression of this person when he was on the Pulsatile Weng.
However, Thewis didn't ask about "Kim" right away. Instead, he asked about the apprentices who were on the ship back then.
Fei Ling continued to spit out names in a daze. However, he only mentioned four or five of the more important people before he stopped.
"That's all? What about the others? "Thewis frowned.
Feiling hesitated and tried to recall. "I don't remember. I spent most of my time meditating."
Most of the apprentices Feiling mentioned were from famous wizard organizations who didn't have close ties with the Goman Kingdom. Thewis didn't believe that one of them was the owner of the Crimson Crown.
But Feiling only knew so much, which made Thewis a little annoyed.
"Who do you think knows about the apprentices and where they are now?" Angor suddenly asked.
Feiling answered without hesitation, "Kim, Kim, I'm sure."
According to Feiling, this "Kim" seemed to know a lot of secret information and had connections with all the apprentices on the ship.
"Who's this' Kim '?" Angor was puzzled by the man's strong presence.
"I do know some information about Jin." Thewis paused and summoned a rippling water mirror in front of him, in which a fat young man wearing a wide-brimmed hat appeared.
The chubby young man had twice as much fat on his face as a normal person, which made his eyes look small. Also, he seemed to like smiling, which made his eyes look like slits.
It was hard to tell whether his smile was real or fake since his eyes couldn't be seen. However, his smile always gave people the impression that he was up to something.
"He's Kim, a level-3 apprentice from Song of the Deep. He should be the strongest apprentice on the ship, "Thewis said. Thewis had a good impression of this man because Kim once tried to talk to him. Thewis felt that Kim was trying to find out something.
"An apprentice from Song of the Deep?" Sunders looked doubtful. "Then why are you here?"
Thewis said, "According to him, he's here to recruit talents. However, I also felt that it was strange. Song of the Deep's previous routes didn't go through this sea route. However, I didn't ask much at that time. "
At this point, Thewis turned to Feiling, wanting to know King's purpose from her.
However, Feiling didn't know either. Feiling guessed, "Kim seems to be looking for something. I'm very interested in the places where there are energy fluctuations on the peripheral islands. "
Thinking back to what Feline said earlier, Kim was the one who instigated them to investigate Padt Manor. From the looks of it, King seemed to be doing something in secret.
"Could it be that Jinn is the one hiding in the dark?" White Bear asked.
Although Kim came from a large sorcerer organization like Song of the Deep, they couldn't be sure if Goman King had some sort of special connection with Kim, considering the fact that Song of the Deep's internal structure had been eaten by otherworldly worms.
"We'll only know if we find this Kim." Thewis' eyes flashed with a dark light. He then turned around to ask Feiling about Kim's whereabouts.
Speaking of which, Kim wasn't far from Grue Town. He was currently in Konya, the largest city in Yamei Province.
Thewis prepared to head there immediately. But Sunders stopped him.
"Eureka is still inside your Exile Space. You can keep her here for now. But if she breaks out of your Exile Space, you'll be in big trouble."
"Leave it to me," said Angor. According to Thewis, Angor should be able to take down an apprentice with ease. Besides, the servants who were affected by the Crimson Crown also had something to do with this matter.
Thewis glanced at Angor and remembered how strong he was during the fight against Eureka. "Thank you for your help."
Angor didn't leave right away. Instead, he approached Feiling and asked, "Why did you and Henry come to Padt Manor?"
They asked about Feiling's purpose earlier. Feiling told Angor that she sensed energy ripples here, which told him about Kim's existence.
But he was more interested to know why they were looking for energy ripples. Also, what was their goal?
If he remembered correctly, Feiling and Henry had stayed in the Old Earth for almost half a year already. They couldn't stay in one place for so long even if they were trying to find talents.
"Our organization told us to stay here. We don't know the details."
Feiling said that the organization behind her, the Tower of Hurricane, asked her to stay in the Old Earth. She didn't tell them the details. As for the energy ripples, it was Kim who instigated them to come here. They also wanted to see if they could find something useful.
As for Henry, he was in a similar situation as Feiling.
So both the Tower of Hurricane and Gravity Forest were interested in the Old Earth?
Angor gave up since he couldn't ask too much. Maybe he could get some information from Kim.
With that in mind, Angor didn't stay in the manor for long. Instead, he told Leon about some taboos regarding Star Frost Meditation and left the manor under Leon's worried gaze.
Sunders and White Bear followed Angor out of the manor.
With his current strength, it should not be a problem for him to deal with apprentices. Sunders didn't need to follow Angor, but he still followed Angor because of the person who was hiding in the dark.
If Kim was the real owner of the Crimson Crown, then the whole situation would change.
There was no way Goman King would allow such an important person to come alone without any worries. There must be a backup plan. It was even possible that Goman King would come in person for this.
Just in case, Sunders decided to follow Angor.
As for White Bear, he wasn't as good at Divination as Dodoro, but he already knew that Angor's destination was Konya. He should be able to find Kim. Besides, he already had information about the blood of the real owner of the Crimson Crown. He might be able to find the person hiding in the dark.
…
Konya was the largest city in Yamei Province. Angor once visited Konya when he was a kid. Back then, they traveled from Grue Town to Konya, which took them about ten days to reach their destination.
Now, they could travel to Konya by Gondola in less than two hours, which was much closer than going to Moonwater City.
Along the way, Angor remained silent. His eyebrows were knitted together in deep worry.
"Do you … do you hate Eureka?" White Bear asked in a low voice after a moment of consideration.
After a long while, he looked up at the bear again.
Angor didn't know how to feel about Eureka. Of course, he hated her. He knew that Eureka was also a victim, but it was a fact that she indirectly harmed the servants of Padt Manor.
If Eureka didn't stay in Padt Manor, all of this wouldn't have happened.
Angor didn't hate Eureka, but he also knew that if Eureka didn't find Jon in Padt Manor and used her Tri-State Balance on him, Jon would have died a long time ago. Angor wouldn't have to fulfill his promise.
If Jon really died like this, Angor would feel guilty about it for a long time. It might even become a scar in his heart that he would never be able to heal.
Therefore, Angor had to thank Eureka for saving him.
He hated Eureka more, but he didn't feel any less grateful either. This was why Angor felt so conflicted.
"Whether I hate or not is relative. I can't give you a clear answer right now." But you are you, and Eureka is Eureka. I won't mix them up. "
White Bear sighed. Since Angor didn't give him an answer, White Bear didn't press him further.
He also knew that Angor wouldn't forgive Eureka for what she did. But Eureka was his sister, and White Bear didn't know what to do. Not to mention, Eureka was still in a state of insanity. Even if he wanted to talk to her, it would be impossible for him to do so.
With White Bear's ability, it was obviously impossible for him to truly resolve this knot of emotions. He had to put an end to it for now.
They arrived at their destination before the sun went down.
Looking down from the sky, Angor noticed that Connia was smaller than most of the cities Angor had seen. However, there were close to 600,000 people living in this small city. In the entire Yamei Province, apart from Moonwater City, which was engaged in maritime trade, Kania had the largest population.
Compared to the other cities in Goldspink Empire, Connia was a prosperous city.
"Now this is what a proper city should look like," Sunders suddenly spoke.
White Bear didn't understand. Wasn't this what all cities looked like? Besides, compared to the cities on Fey Continent, Connia was nothing.
Looking down at Konya reminded Sunders of the time when he was looking down at Foundation City from Firmament Tower not long ago.
"City planning is a serious subject. You need to study it carefully," Angor said. Angor pretended he did not understand and answered seriously. But he still could not stand it under Sunders' meaningful gaze. He averted his eyes and cleared his throat.
"Now that we're in Connia, White Bear, I'll leave the search to you." Angor looked at White Bear.
White Bear didn't know what Angor and Sunders were talking about, but he knew what his job was. "I understand. Fate will guide me to the answer."
