When Nausica left Floating Mech City, Angor gave her the crystal monocle.
Back then, Nausica thought that Angor was worried about her safety and made it for her as a secret weapon.
However, Angor denied that idea.
Nausica still remembered what Angor told her.
"It's not a weapon, and it won't help you much if you're in danger. But you can use it if you need to tell me something. "
"So, it's a communicator?"
"You can think of it that way. But you can only use it once, so be careful."
Nausica had been keeping the "communicator" in her pocket ever since she got it. She never used it, nor did she think about using it. Instead, she used the monocle as a token of gratitude for her best friend.
The truth was similar to what Angor told her. It was useless when she was in danger, but it didn't matter when she wasn't in danger.
Even if she failed in her adventure and ended up crippled or half-dead, she still wouldn't give up. She never thought about using the monocle to ask Angor for help.
She would take responsibility for any decision she made, regardless of whether she lived or died.
But now, she really wanted to use it.
…
On the reef island.
"What's your plan now?" Ness looked at Angor who was deep in thought.
"I need to find Nausica first."
"Do you have any ideas?" asked Nessie.
Angor remained silent. Nausica was carried away by the ocean currents, and he had no idea where she went. The only thing he could think of was to go to the dream wasteland and wait for Dodoro's arrival.
But prophecies often came with risks, and Angor didn't want to ask Dodoro for help every time.
"I knew you couldn't do anything," Ness said.
"So you have a way to find Nausica?" Angor looked at Ness.
Ness nodded proudly. "Of course."
Under Angor's puzzled gaze, Ness took out a long and thin staff with a black skull on it from his sleeve and waved it in the air. Invisible mana and soul energy gushed out from the staff and formed a complicated rune in the air.
A few seconds later, a humanoid soul with a sharp head walked out of the spirit rune.
Angor noticed that the soul looked very old. Its head was bent so low that it almost reached its knees, and it was supported by a walking stick. He looked similar to a human, but the shape of his skull was different, as if he was wearing a pointy hat.
"He is?"
Ness said proudly, "Prophet of the Sharps!"
Sharp people? This was the first time he heard of such a race. With Nessie's explanation, he gradually gained some understanding of the Sharp People.
This was a rare humanoid race found in the Drauna Plane. Their way of life was mostly similar to the barbarians, and they were considered a primitive tribal civilization.
In the Jianren Tribe, the most respected person was the prophet. Because the prophet was proficient in astrology and climatology, he could tell his people when to hunt, when to sow seeds, and when to offer sacrifices to the heavens …
In terms of status and functions, they were somewhat similar to the Maguspriests of the Barbarian Clan. However, the Barbarian Maguspriests had some supernatural powers, while the Prophets of the Pointy Men Tribe were all ordinary people.
"But Diya is different from the other Sharptooth Prophets. He has the ability of a Prophet!"
Diya was the name of the Sharptooth Prophet.
"If that's the case, why did you ask Dodoro to help you solve the problem with the stone slab?"
"It's not the same. I only said that he has the ability of a Prophet. He's not really a Prophet."
"To be precise, Diya's ability is a kind of divination ability."
He could divine a vague result. For example, when he divined Yuqing, the answer he got was something like "it might rain in the short term."
Compared to a Prophet, Diya's ability was much weaker. However, Diya still managed to touch the edge of fate.
"Then how do we find Nausica with Diya's help?"
"Looking for people. That's Diya's specialty. You just need to give him something that has been used before, and he can use a short staff to find Nausica's current location. What do you think? At least it's more useful than you looking around aimlessly, right? "
"It's very similar to a Prophet's Short Staff." Angor remembered that White Bear was an expert at it.
"Similar on the outside, but different on the inside. They have different ways of reading fate."
Angor could understand. A Sharptooth Prophet saw the world in a completely different way compared to a human.
"It does look good. But I can't use it. I don't have anything that Nausica used."
"No way. You didn't exchange any love tokens with Nausica?"
Angor glanced at Nessie without saying anything. But Nessie knew what Angor was trying to say.
"You're becoming more and more like Sunders …" Nessie mumbled. "Even if you're not lovers, it's normal for you to exchange things."
"Well, I don't have any. If not, can he do the divination? "
Nessie shook his head.
"What's the point?" Angor ignored Nessie and went to talk to Reynolds. He wanted to see if the man knew anything about the nearby islands.
Since he couldn't find any other way, he had to use basic logic to figure out where Nausica might be. If Nausica was still alive, she would try her best to get out of the sea or at least find a place to rest.
Just like Cindy and the others, they could have drifted on the sea, but the pursuit of being grounded made them choose to land on Reef Island in the end.
Perhaps Nausica drifted to an island nearby, or boarded a ghost ship in the mist. Maybe she was resting on a reef just like them.
However, Reynolds' answer disappointed Angor a little.
With the laboratory as the center, there were quite a few islands around. But they were hard to find.
Because they were in a fog zone, it was very difficult to determine the direction in the fog. Even if Reynolds knew where the islands were located in the laboratory, he would take a fork in the road not long after he went out.
Reynolds was not worried about getting lost on the sea path, but he wasn't strong enough to do so.
Besides, Reynolds wasn't in the lab right now. It was impossible for him to find the other islands on this reef island.
"So we have to go to the lab no matter what." Nessie chuckled. His goal was the lab since it was related to souls. Angor's goal was to find Nausica, so he didn't need to go with Reynolds.
However, if they wanted to find the other islands, Angor would have to go to the lab with Reynolds.
"Ferro is going there anyway. Let's help him. I'll go get the soul data. You go find the other islands, "Nessie said.
Angor considered for a moment. This was their only option if they couldn't think of a better one.
"Do you know how to find Nausica?" Angor couldn't help but ask.
Reynolds shook his head again. "I don't know where she is, but I don't think she's dead. She was just swept away by the current. Even if someone from the lab caught her, she won't die anytime soon. They need a lot of test subjects and human sacrifices. Unless … "
"Unless what?"
"Unless Nausica ran into the worst case scenario, which is that she was swept away by the current, or she ran into … monsters at the bottom of the sea."
"Don't jinx it." Nessie knocked Reynolds on the head with his cane. "Say something nice. Don't think about the worst."
Reynolds felt wronged. You're the one who asked me that.
"Then I'll say something nice?" Reynolds thought for a moment. "Nausica is still alive. Maybe we'll see her soon?"
Nice asked, "How soon is soon?"
Reynolds hesitated for a moment and said, "An hour?"
"What are you thinking? You've been here for days, and you didn't see Nausica at all. You want to see her in an hour? How? "
"I'm just saying something nice." Reynolds looked at Nessie again.
"Don't think too much about it. Let's go find Filo first. I don't know if Ferro found the lab yet. Let's hope he doesn't. Even if he does, he won't cause any trouble and destroy the data. "
After Ness finished his sentence, he thought to himself, Maybe that information will give me the opportunity to enter the truth-knowing realm. I trust you, Dodoro.
Angor considered and nodded. "Alright."
"Let's go then. Oh, take Reynolds with us. It'll save us a lot of time," Nessie said. "I'm not as stupid as Ferro."
After saying that, Ness picked up Reynolds and rose into the air, preparing to fly.
When Ness was about to leave, he looked down and saw Angor still standing there with a strange look on his face.
"Hey, let's go." Nessie flicked a soul flick at Angor.
Angor blocked the flick but still didn't move.
"What's wrong?" "Aren't you looking for Nausica? Let's go. I still need to study the stone slab later. There's only a little bit left."
"Nausica, you're here." Angor looked up at Ness. "Nausica, you're here."
"Huh?" Nessie didn't understand.
"I said, Nausica came looking for me. She's in the dream wasteland."
Ness was stunned and descended from the sky. "What? Dream wasteland? When did you give her a log-in device? I thought she didn't come back after the Rising Star Competition? "
"I gave her a single-use device after the competition and told her to contact me if she needed help."
Since then, Nausica never contacted him again, so Angor almost forgot about it. However, just a few seconds ago, he received a notification from the Dream Gate that the marked reporter had logged in.
Angor made a special mark on Nausica's log-in device so that she wouldn't miss it when she entered the dream wasteland.
As soon as he received the notification, Angor quickly entered the Dream Gate to observe.
It really was Nausica.
"You gave her a log-in device already? And you said there's no special relationship between you two? " Even Rein and the others didn't know about the dream wasteland until a long time later.
Ness muttered to himself. "Of all times, she just had to appear when we were about to go look for her. This is too much of a coincidence."
"Maybe it's luck?" Angor mused.
"Luck?" Nessie narrowed his eyes and looked at Reynolds, who was still in his hand.
What did Reynolds just say?
"Nausica is still alive. We'll see her soon." "…"
Nessie: "???"
Ness could not help but curse in his heart. Did Reynolds really hit the nail on the head?
Could it be that he was really a lucky person with extraordinary talent?
But Ness had never heard of such a talent as "luck" before.
Nessie never believed in luck. But after what happened to "Schiz's Descendant" and what Reynolds said just now, Nessie began to believe him. Now, he was starting to believe it.
Ness stared at Reynolds, his eyes suddenly glowing. "You... Why don't you stop looking for a physical body and just follow me in your soul form? I'll find you ten thousand beautiful female souls! "
"I have all kinds of souls. Combat souls, divination souls, sewing souls … Now, you're the only one I need!"
Nessie's eyes burned with passion as a thought appeared in his mind. Is this my opportunity?
"Dodoro didn't send me here to look for souls. He sent me here so that I can meet you!"
Nessie's gaze made Reynolds shrink back continuously. Unfortunately, Nessie was still holding him. No matter how much he tried to dodge, he couldn't avoid Nessie's wretched face that was getting closer and closer.
When Reynolds' face almost touched Nessie's, a hand reached out and stopped him.
"Stop fooling around. I'm going to take Reynolds to Nausica in the dream wasteland."
With that, he freed Reynolds from Nessie's clutches.
"I'm not fooling around. I mean it. I need a lucky soul like him."
"He's still alive."
"Don't worry. He'll be dead by the time I find him."
Angor raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?"
Nessie gulped when he saw Angor's threatening look. "I'm just saying. I'll just wait for Reynolds to die naturally. I don't think he'll live long anyway. "
Angor didn't want to waste time on Nessie. He was in a hurry to get to the dream wasteland. Nausica's log was a one-time use item. If he missed it, he would have to find a needle in a haystack.
