"What is it?" Angor was confused.
Seeing that Angor forgot about it, Dankros felt both happy and disappointed. Happy because Angor didn't seem to need anything in return. Disappointed because Angor didn't seem to care about Dankros at all.
So be it. It doesn't care about Angor anyway … Dankros shook his head and tried to get rid of his thoughts. However, he failed to do so, and the sense of loss in his heart began to grow bigger.
Angor saw Dankros lowering his head and showing a sad face, which made him even more confused.
What happened at Maraya Ice Mountain? What had happened?
Angor quickly recalled everything that happened after he arrived at Maraya Ice Mountain. "You mean what happened at Mena Ice River?"
Dankros looked up at Angor with glowing eyes. "You remember?"
Angor nodded. "If you're talking about Troisa, I remember now."
"You're not as good as my little brother." The corners of Dankros' mouth curled up slightly, but the words that came out of his mouth were filled with complaints. "I just want to thank you for not handing me over to that Great Demon, Troisa. Otherwise, I might have …"
"You don't need to thank me. Troisa wouldn't do anything to you even if I gave you to her. Didn't she say that she only wanted to see if you were qualified to inherit the name of Kalomonkis? "
Dankros pursed his lips. "Do you believe her?"
Angor nodded. "Yes, I do."
Dankros glanced at Angor in dissatisfaction. "I don't believe her. If she took me away, she would've locked me in a dark ice prison and poured ice water on me to burn away my flames. She would've tied me to an ice pillar with a wicked smile and whipped my soft body with an ice whip. She would've tortured me endlessly."
The more Dankros thought about it, the more his body trembled.
Angor didn't know what to say.
"I think you're overthinking it, aren't you? Paranoia? "
"I'm not imagining things. Troisa is a Great Demon. All Ice Elemental creatures are Demons!"
"But Troy is a water creature."
"… As long as it's an Elemental Creature from the Malaya Iceberg, no matter if it's an Ice Creature or a Water Creature, they're all Great Demons, big baddies," Dangros said hatefully.
Angor looked at Dankros' expression, which was mixed with anger and relief. He knew that Dankros was telling the truth.
Ultimately, it was because of the history of the Land of Fire and the Malaya Iceberg.
Thinking back to when he had just arrived in the Fire Territory, Elmi had only displayed the power of ice, and Dankros had attacked him without hesitation. It could be seen that to Dankros, ice-type creatures were his lifelong enemies.
However, when Magoo talked about the Maraya Iceberg, he didn't seem to have such a big grudge. Why did Dankros become the vanguard against the Iceberg?
Angor shook his head. There was nothing he could say.
From Angor's point of view, the Malaya Iceberg was a nice place to live, which was why he was willing to believe that Troisa didn't want to hurt Dankros.
However, from the perspective of a Fire Elemental creature, Dankros' caution made sense. Fire and ice were incompatible, after all. It was just that Dankros' reaction was a bit excessive.
"Alright, I'll accept your explanation. You don't need to thank me. Mister Magoo asked me to take care of you, and I won't let you get hurt. It's my duty. "Angor patted Dankros' hand with a smile.
Dankros felt a little embarrassed at the gesture, but he quickly recovered and put on a disappointed look. "Just because of Mister Magoo?"
"Of course not. I wouldn't hand you over even if Mister Magoo didn't ask me to." Angor chuckled when he saw Dankros' disappointed expression.
Dankros didn't ask why. Instead, he lowered his head and mumbled, "No matter what, I still have to thank you."
After a pause, Dankros raised his head again. "Of course, I'm just thanking you for not handing me over to Troy. I won't thank you for taking me down!"
After saying that, Dankros turned his head with an awkward expression and pretended to look at the scenery outside.
Angor moved closer. "So, you were thinking about thanking me when you didn't say anything?"
Dankros continued to pretend to look at the scenery. He was just short of reciting a poem.
Angor knew that the kid was feeling a little embarrassed, so he changed the topic. "By the way, about the Fire Zone and Maraya —"
Before he could finish, he suddenly stopped and looked around in confusion.
Around them was a clear blue sky. Apart from the gentle wind that blew from time to time, there was nothing else. Even the floating clouds were very far away from them.
Lorber noticed the sudden pause and the cautious look on Angor's face.
"What's wrong, sir?"
Angor considered for a moment. "Did you notice anything strange around us?"
"Strange?" Lobel shook his head. "I've been on alert, but I didn't notice anything."
After Luo Bo finished speaking, he asked Su Ling, but Su Ling also gave a negative answer.
Angor didn't find it strange. He already contacted Elmi before asking Lobel. Elmi also gave him a negative answer.
Elmi's answer was the final word.
Elmi was a real working machine. Ever since it was given the job of scouting, it had never slacked off. In addition to its powerful strength, its ability to sense danger was a level higher than that of Loebel and Speedy. If it could not sense anything, it was even more impossible for others to sense it.
Therefore, Angor trusted Elmi's judgment.
But this time, Angor still felt a little hesitant. When he was talking to Dankros, he sensed that someone was spying on him. And the feeling wasn't far away. It felt like someone was right next to him. But the feeling was gone as soon as he regained his senses.
"Was it just my imagination?"
Angor thought for a moment but still couldn't figure it out. He looked at Lobel and asked, "Where are we now? How far are we from the coast? "
"We've left the Maraya Iceberg and are now in the middle of the Sea of Gentle Waves. Next to us is the Glittering Mountains, and further ahead is the Black Thunder Pool.
"Our destination is not under the jurisdiction of the Sea of Gentle Waves, so it'll take us another two days to get there."
Angor nodded. "Are there any powerful beings in the elemental territories around here? Especially those who can hide themselves. "
Lobel considered. "There are several powerful lightning creatures in the Glittering Mountains and Black Thunder Pool. But … none of them can hide themselves.
Even if there are, it's almost impossible for them to escape the detection of 'wind'. "
Angor nodded. He believed Lobel's words. As an elemental creature, Lobel was very sensitive to elemental energy fluctuations.
If Lobel said so, it had to be true.
But Angor didn't think his intuition was wrong.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he had to put it aside for now.
He glanced at the clear sky and looked at Dankros again.
"Is everything alright, Mister Padt?" Dankros looked around and asked.
Angor shook his head. "I'm fine. Let's continue. Come to think of it, I still don't know why the Fire Territory and the Malaya Iceberg became enemies. The Malaya Iceberg is drifting on the sea, while the Fire Territory is far inland. How did you two start fighting? "
"Well …" Dangros hesitated.
Dankros began to ramble. As he spoke, Gondola leisurely left the area.
A long time after Gondola left, a gust of wind blew past.
The wind came and went without a sound.
…
On the gondola, Dangros's voice was still going on.
"Stop. I already know. You don't need to repeat yourself. "Angor quickly interrupted Dangros' rambling.
"Did I repeat myself?" Dankros asked in confusion when he was interrupted by Angor's words. He was already very angry at first, but now he couldn't understand what was happening.
"That's the third time," Angor said, "I know what happened. You don't need to repeat it."
Dankros opened his mouth for a long time before he finally muttered, "Alright, I got it."
Dankros put on an aggrieved expression, but Angor simply ignored it. He was not lying. Dankros did repeat the same thing three times.
Dangros didn't notice anything because he was too excited. When talking about the grudge between the Maraya Iceberg and Maraya Iceberg, Dangros wanted to capture all the ice creatures and humiliate them one by one. He even forgot what he was talking about and kept repeating himself.
However, Angor still managed to get some important information from Dangros' rambling.
The grudge between the Fire Zone and Maraya Iceberg went back thousands of years. Dangros didn't know the details, but he believed that the cause of the grudge was Caromonkis.
This was because Dankros had repeatedly said that the Malaya Iceberg had sneaked into the Fire Domain many times in order to snatch the remains of Kalomonkis.
It was precisely because it involved Kalomonkis that Dankros, as the "self-proclaimed" successor of Kalomonkis, had a deep hatred for all the elemental creatures in the Malaya Iceberg.
This was why Dangros was already imagining how Troisa would punish him before he was caught. Because if it were him, he would do the same thing to an ice creature if he caught one.
Overall, it was a cliché story. Angor didn't want to get involved in the grudge between ice and fire. The grudge between the two creatures was like an internal strife.
Once the humans entered the Tidal Realm, they would have to put aside their grudges.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, they didn't run into any danger and arrived at the coast where they were supposed to land.
This coast didn't have a name. Or rather, most of the coast along the way didn't have a name. After all, unlike humans, elemental creatures didn't have a strong desire to name places.
Only elemental territories or very special places would have unique names. The other places were all nameless.
Such nameless places could be found everywhere on the main continent of the Tidal Realm.
Angor chose to land on a nameless coast. The path they were going to take was nameless.
They would cross many nameless rivers, climb over nameless mountains, and finally reach their destination: the Forest of Azure.
They chose this path because it was "nameless" all the way. According to Lobel's travel experience, although not all the elemental territories in the Tidal Realm were as strict as the Tooth Extraction Desert, there were still certain restrictions. Instead of wasting time thinking about the restrictions of the various territories, it was better to choose an unnamed area that was not under the jurisdiction of the Tidal Realm. It was more convenient and faster.
Besides, elemental territories usually had extreme environments. Even if there were no restrictions, it was still dangerous to enter them. For example, wood elemental creatures would never enter a fire-elemental territory.
It could be said that the vast majority of travelers and adventurers in the Tidal Realm would travel through nameless places.
Angor didn't want to waste time on these elemental territories. Even if he wanted to deliver a Shadow Box, he would have to send a messenger from the Fire Realm. Therefore, he chose to use the nameless road to reach Cyan Forest and solve the problem of Feng's treasure as soon as possible. After that, he would return to the Fire Realm and convince — no, invite Korokro to become his elemental companion.
They re-entered the continent from the Sea of Gentle Waves. Under Loebel's guidance, they continued forward and stepped into the nameless mountain range from the nameless coast.
After flying for about half an hour, they suddenly heard a loud rumbling noise coming from somewhere in the mountain range.
As the noise reached their ears, they saw plumes of black smoke rising from the source of the noise.
"Hey, what's going on over there?" Lobel's head looked over curiously.
Lobel glanced at the source of the black smoke and looked back at Angor. "Should we go and take a look, sir?"
"There's no need for that." Angor shook his head.
Lobel nodded and was about to tell Speed to keep going when Dangros suddenly spoke up. "Mister Padt, should we go and take a look?"
Dangros gave Angor a pleading look.
"You're curious?" Angor glanced at Dangros. "You know, curiosity kills the cat."
Dangros didn't know why curiosity killed the cat, but now wasn't the time to ask. "No, I'm not curious. I think I saw some sparks in the smoke."
"Fire? Maybe it's a fire-elemental creature?"
