Salmado paused for a moment. "It's a pity that I have to travel with Aguado now. Otherwise, I can show you the way."
Aguado was the Sand Eagle who was standing on the edge of Gondola.
"You guys are traveling?" Dankros found some free time and interrupted.
Aguado nodded. At the mention of traveling, its eyes, which were made of yellow sand, flashed with a bright light. "Yes, Salmado and I have always dreamed of going to faraway places to see different sceneries. Now, we've decided to go on a long journey. We're going to travel around the entire continent! "
Aguado talked about his dreams in excitement. His chest was filled with the spirit of a young man.
Aguado turned his gaze to them. "Do you want to join our Sandstorm Brigade? You'll see the most beautiful scenery on this long journey! "
Dankros' eyes lit up as if he was touched by Aguado's enthusiasm.
"I want to see the different places in Tidal Realm as well, but we have other things to do right now. Maybe we'll have to wait until the future," Angor said in a regretful tone.
"I was so excited when I talked about traveling to different places. Now that I think about it, you're going to White Cloud Village."
"As far as I'm concerned, dancing and talking about your dreams is a beautiful thing in itself."
Aguado chuckled. "Salmado said something similar, so it hit it off with me and joined me on my journey."
High up in the sky, Salmado let out a burst of laughter.
"It's a pity that you can't join our brigade. But White Cloud Village is beautiful as well. Ah, I almost forgot. If you want to go to White Cloud Village from Wildstone Wasteland, you'll definitely pass by Tusk Desert. That place looks unchanging, but it's still a beautiful place. "
"We'll go and see the beauty of Tusk Desert with our own eyes. But before that, can I ask you something? Is there a taboo to meet Lord Sandstorm of Tusk Desert?"
"Huh?" Aguado looked at Angor. "Aren't you going to see Lady Gentle Wind? Why are you going to see Lord Sandstorm? "
Angor nodded. "Yes. I'm new here, so I want to visit the lords and look for traces of old times."
"I see." Aguado didn't really understand what Angor meant. But it didn't think too much about it. Angor had Earth Mark, so it didn't think Angor was a bad guy.
"Compared to Her Highness Soft Wind of White Cloud Village, His Highness Sandstorm might be a little hot-tempered. If you want to have an audience with His Highness, it's best to see the wise man first. The wise man will know when is the best time to see His Highness. "
Then, Aguado briefly explained how to find the Wise Man, as well as his personality and hobbies.
While chatting with Aguado, he also asked Salmado about the Wise Man of White Cloud Village.
By the time Aguado was almost done talking, the sky had begun to darken.
With Salmado's reminder, Aguado came back to his senses. "When we passed by Wild Stone Wasteland, we told the patrol that we would leave the territory before dark. It's too late now, so we have to go! "
Aguado spread his wings and flew into the air. "I'm very happy to be able to chat with you. The wise man of Baibaiyun Village said that not only will we see beautiful scenery on our journey, but all the creatures we meet along the way will also become the shining embellishments of our journey."
"It's our pleasure, Sir. I'm sure your stories won't just be told on this continent. Maybe they'll spread to other worlds as well. "
Aguado didn't know what Angor meant, but he knew that Angor was giving them his blessing.
Aguado chirped happily. "Let's go! There are still worlds waiting for us to conquer! I'm looking forward to our next meeting! "
Salmado also chirped at the right time, responding to Aguado's excitement.
The wind howled and the sand rustled as they left. Soon, the two eagles disappeared from Angor's sight. Only the sand on Gondola remained as proof of their existence.
Angor watched the sand disappear into the distance with a smile and blessing in his eyes.
He could tell that Aguado was the kind of traveler who would do anything for the sake of the future.
Such people weren't rare among wizards. For example, Fein Werder, who published countless travel books, spent his entire life on the road. Perhaps he was still traveling somewhere.
Angor wanted to live such a life as well. The word "future" didn't sound like anything special, but it had a strange charm that made people want to pursue it. However, Angor also knew that in order to pursue the future, he had to return to reality first. Dangers were everywhere in the boundless general planes. Without enough power, one would die before they could even see the future.
Angor's current strength wasn't bad, but he still needed a long way to go before he could conquer the future.
Still, he didn't feel sad about it. Compared to other people, he had another way to pursue the future.
The Gate of Illusion.
The special energy that filled the Gate of Illusions would probably be replenished in two weeks. At that time, with the help of the Illusory Dream, he would be able to travel to a faraway place … Most importantly, his illusory body would be able to travel while his real body would be unharmed.
"This is great." On the other side, Dankros was standing on the table with his index finger and middle finger. He looked at the disappearing sand and sighed in admiration.
"Like I said, there are many elemental creatures who want to go to places far away. See, we met one now. "Angor smiled." You also want to go to places far away? "
Dankros choked a little. "No, I don't. I envy them for having firm dreams."
"You have one too, don't you? You want to restore the glory of your ancestors? "
Dankros was surprised. "You admit that I'm a descendant of Kalomonkis?"
"Do I need to admit it? You said it yourself, didn't you? I trusted your story from the beginning to the end. Don't tell me you don't believe it yourself? "
Dankros' palms turned red. He looked away from Angor. "Wh-what do you mean? I'm telling the truth. Don't doubt it!"
Dankros' eyes lit up. "I will restore the glory of my ancestors!"
Angor smiled gently. "I believe in you."
…
Gondola didn't stop at all. They had already reached the border of Wildstone Wasteland when Aguado landed on the side of the boat.
After traveling for another half an hour, they could no longer see the scorched earth below them. Instead, they could only see a vast wasteland.
It was similar to the dream wasteland before the "Mother Tree of Civilization" arrived. The only difference was that this wasteland was filled with stones of various sizes.
He kept going deeper into the desert. When he reached a high ground, the ground began to tremble. The scattered rocks on the ground quickly gathered together as if they were being pulled by some kind of power. They soon turned into a giant stone man.
The stone giant raised its head and looked at the airship in the sky.
"I can feel the mark of the earth." A slow and heavy noise came from the stone giant's mouth, which was as black as a wind tunnel.
Angor hovered in the air and didn't land right away. He could vaguely sense that the stone giant was very powerful. Just the threat alone was enough to make Earl reveal himself.
"Do you know who it is?" Angor asked Dankros.
Dankros leaned against the side of the boat and studied the stone giant carefully. "It looks just like the Inba brothers. I can't tell. Is it Big Big Inba?"
Angor didn't know what Big Big Inba was talking about.
Dankros didn't say anything useful, but the stone giant's hollow eyes glowed when it appeared on the side of the boat.
"Flame arm. Are you Dankros?" the stone giant asked.
Angor glanced at Dankros, who was confused. "How does it know me?"
"I should be the one asking the question."
"That's not important." Dankros sat on the side of the boat and looked down. "How do you know I'm Dankros? Do you know me?"
The air around them suddenly became silent.
A gust of cold wind blew, and the stone giant said, "Three hundred sunsets ago, you came to the Wild Stone Wasteland with the Yinba brothers as guests. We met at that time … and we met here."
There was a question mark on Dankrose's head, and his voice was high as he asked, "Really?"
"… Yes."
"How come I don't remember?" Dankros hugged his thumb and pondered for a moment. "I thought about it, and it seems like there is indeed such a thing. I was invited by the Inba brothers to be a guest here, and when I passed by, I met a big guy."
"I'm not a big guy. I'm a watcher."
"Oh, right! A watcher. Big Inba said that there's a watcher at the border of Wildstone Wasteland every once in a while. They're the first line of defense. "
Dankros nodded and looked at Angor with a "don't worry, I'm here" look.
Angor didn't know what to say. Dankros was a bit unreliable.
Since Dankros had met the watcher before, and the watcher was friendly to Dankros, Angor slowly lowered Gondola so that it was parallel to the watcher's head.
Perhaps it was because Angor showed his distrust toward Dankros earlier, so Dankros quickly took over the topic of conversation and started talking to the watcher in order to save his dignity.
The watchers were stone giants who had been guarding the border for countless years, so they weren't very curious. After learning that Angor's Earth Seal came from Insignia, the watchers quickly let down their guard against this "human".
"You want to see Prince Fallen Earth? I haven't been to the core area for a long time, so I don't know what's going on there. " The watcher said, "But the watcher is nearby. It should know. I can summon it for you."
Just like the watchers, the watchers were also responsible for protecting Wildstone Wasteland. The only difference was that the watchers were the first line of defense, while the watchers were the second line of defense.
"Thank you so much." Dankros smiled.
The watcher lowered its head. "Wildstone Wasteland is closely related to the Fire Zone. It's my honor to serve two guests from the Fire Zone."
The watcher's words were a bit cheesy, but Angor could feel its sincerity. It really meant what it said, and it was going to carry out Angor's request.
At this moment, Angor finally felt the power of "diplomatic relations".
By standing on the ground, the watcher could use the power of the earth to send messages to all nearby earth creatures.
This method of transmitting information was much more reliable and stealthy than the fiery creatures' sparks, and the speed was also much faster.
Soon, a small stone giant covered in moss glided toward them from the wasteland.
Yes, it wasn't walking. It was "gliding".
As if it was riding a skateboard, the mossy stone giant used the wasteland as a snowy slope and glided toward them at an unimaginable speed.
Angor wasn't too surprised to see this. Back when he was in the research department, he already heard that some earth creatures used to travel in an even more ridiculous way.
As long as they were above the ground, Mother Earth would grant them the right of way.
Gliding was already considered slow, while some earth creatures could simply travel through the ground, which was much faster than gliding.
Soon, the mossy stone giant arrived in front of the watcher.
The watcher held the mossy stone giant in its hand and slowly raised it to the same height as Gondola.
"Mister Padt and Dankros, welcome. I'm the Watcher of this area." The mossy giant paused for a moment before continuing, "The watcher has told me about your situation. As soon as I heard the news, I sent a message to the Sage. I'm sure the Sage will inform me soon."
Just like the watcher, the Watcher didn't mention its name, but it was very friendly toward visitors from the Fire Zone. For example, when Angor asked the patrollers about Wildstone Wasteland, the patrollers did not try to hide anything and answered all of his questions.
Half an hour later, the Watcher reached out a hand and tossed an orange-colored stone into its palm.
The Watcher sensed the stone for a moment and said, "The Sage has agreed. It will help you contact Her Highness and invite you to the Grotto."
The Grotto referred to the Ruby Grotto, where the Wise Ones lived. Angor already heard about this from Big Inba before he came to Wildstone Wasteland. However, he still didn't know where exactly it was located.
The Watcher noticed Angor's hesitation and handed him the orange-colored stone. "This stone will lead you to the correct direction."
