Back in his own room, Angor continued to study the questions left by his professor. Sometimes, he even missed meals. About ten days later, Angor heard about the grudge between Easley and Dove. The nobleman humiliated a young girl to death, while the girl's childhood sweetheart turned his anger into strength and endured the humiliation. Eventually, he turned the situation around and killed the nobleman.
It sounded ridiculous, but it was also realistic. In this world where the law only applied to the poor, what the nobles did was always an exception. Fairness only existed when two parties were equal in strength.
Angor felt sorry for Easley after hearing the story. Easley was a noble, but he received Jon's education from Earth, so he did not really care about the concept of class. However, Angor heard something that greatly changed his impression of Easley.
That day when Dove went to the restaurant, he did not have any followers because Easley had killed all of his followers. Some of these followers were members of small clans from the Central Empire, some were new followers of Big and Small Eyes on the ship, and some were even beauties and talents that Dove had forcefully captured. Apart from the former, the latter two did not have any conflicts with Easley at all. Some even sympathized with him. However, they were all killed by Easley.
Angor did not like such a cruel act, but he did not hate Easley. He just felt less sympathy for him and more vigilance.
The wizarding world was crueler than he thought.
Time went by peacefully in the Whalebone Sea. The Redbud entered Devil's Water, which was said to be the most terrifying place.
This region of the sea was filled with a large number of evil pirates, giant sea beasts, strange weather, and even the legendary Ghost Ship.
For civilian ships, Devil's Water was a natural moat that could not be crossed. But The Redbud was different. There were wizards guarding the ship, who could repel all evil.
Halfway through the voyage, Aleen, who had disappeared for almost a month and a half, came to Angor's room.
Aleen looked pale and depressed. She did not look as energetic as before. She sat down on a stool by the window.
"Brother Padt, I feel so stupid now. I don't know who to tell. My brother already felt spirit power the day before yesterday. But I … I've been meditating for more than a month, and I didn't get anything. Not to mention mana, I didn't even see spirit power. "
She didn't care if Angor was listening or not, and she kept talking about her meditation experience for the past month. Toward the end, her nose turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, and her lips pursed. She looked extremely aggrieved.
Angor sighed. He did not know how to comfort the girl. "You'll succeed. It's just a matter of time."
The more she said this, the more Eirinn cried. Coupled with the comparison of Ellen and the Yith who had shone brilliantly a few days ago, Eirinn cried even harder. Not only did she cry, but she also began to complain about the boredom of meditation, as well as all kinds of messy thoughts during meditation. Fortunately, Irene still had some sense and did not tell him the core content of the Triangle Channeling Method.
Even so, he still learned a lot. He carefully noted down all the possible drawbacks of meditation in his mind.
Eirinn wiped her tears and blushed in embarrassment after she was done with her complaints. She only felt wronged and complained to Angor as if he was a tree hole. When she calmed down, she realized that her behavior was a bit unladylike … Would Angor think she was spoiled in the future?
The atmosphere was a bit quiet. Irene clenched her fists nervously and rolled her eyes, trying to think of a way to ease the atmosphere. It would be best if she could make Angor forget about her crying.
"What are you writing, Brother Padt?" Irene saw a pile of paper full of words on the desk. She was curious. She saw the words on the paper in the stilt house in Padt Manor before. They were called "Chinese characters" or something.
"Diary. I've been sleeping and reading these days. It's really boring. So I can only do this to kill time. " Angor made up a small lie. He was actually working on a problem. However, it was too troublesome to explain, and it might involve his professor's secret. Luckily, no one in this world could read Chinese except for him and his professor. His lie would not be exposed.
Irene looked at it for a while and realized that she really could not understand it, so she put it down. Angor decided to find something else to ease the atmosphere.
The content of Irene's topic could not escape the attention of a noble girl. Angor could not stand it anymore. When he was about to interrupt, the ship suddenly shook violently.
They did not panic. Instead, they quickly grabbed the iron railings on the wall to stabilize themselves.
How could they sail without running into some storms on the sea? Besides, they had entered Devil's Water, which was the most dangerous place in the world. They had already gotten used to the small waves every three days and the big ones every five days. Because of this, there was nothing on Angor's desk except for paper and a pen.
The waves lasted for five minutes, which was considered a small one compared to what they had experienced in the past month.
Because of this, the awkward atmosphere disappeared. Irene tidied up her messy hair while Angor stretched his brown shirt that was wrinkled enough to reveal his abs. They looked at each other and smiled.
The relaxed atmosphere didn't last long. Before the two of them could react, they heard footsteps on the wooden ceiling. It was messy and complicated, as if many people were running.
"What's going on upstairs?" Both of them had the same question.
Irene leaned against the window and looked outside curiously. She suddenly yelled, "Brother Angor, look!"
Angor heard the noise and moved closer to take a look.
It was dark outside. The blue sky was blocked by a giant creature. Angor tried to take a closer look, but the creature was too big. He could not tell its head from its tail.
Angor panicked. He quickly said, "Let's go out and see!"
If such a giant creature attacked The Redbud, they would only die faster if they hid in the cabin. Irene knew this as well, so she followed Angor without hesitation.
When they went out, they saw the doors of other rooms were all open. Everyone was running toward the deck with a nervous and even panicked look.
When they reached the deck, they saw it was already full of people. Talents, servants, and sailors were all gathered in groups and staring at the giant creature floating in the sky.
However, Angor noticed that the talents were mostly worried and frightened. The sailors and servants on The Redbud, on the other hand, only looked curious and amazed. There was no fear at all.
Angor relaxed a little after realizing this. If the sailors who stayed on the ship all year round were not afraid, then this giant creature should not be a threat to their lives.
With this thought in mind, Angor calmed down and carefully measured the giant creature in the sky.
He could not see the creature's full appearance in the cabin. Now that he was on the deck, he could finally see its true appearance.
It was a giant whale at least 200 meters long, floating in the sky about a hundred meters above the ground. The two giant fins on its sides looked like wings. Every time they flapped, they would bring up a whirlwind. The giant wave was caused by this creature, right?
The whale's eyes looked like blue gemstones with ripples of light. On its streamlined forehead, there was a tall, sharp horn. Its back was facing the blue sky and white clouds. The horn seemed to be surrounded by clouds.
"The legendary Cloud Whale is here at Devil's Water!" someone exclaimed in surprise.
"The Cloud Whale is always gentle. But just in case, we must prepare for the worst case scenario." Not far away, the adjutant on The Redbud gave orders to the sailors. He then turned around and looked at the three "Lords" behind him.
"Lords, The Redbud needs to activate Mirror Veil. Please help me." The adjutant was dressed as a knight and half-knelt in front of the "Lords".
The three "Lords" were the escorts of the three major wizard organizations on The Redbud. There were one woman and two men. The woman was elegantly dressed. She was Madam Melinda, a level-3 apprentice from Tower of Hurricane whom Angor met a few days ago.
The other two men were young and handsome, with black hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a leather suit and soft armor. He was Mister Komoen, a level-2 apprentice from Gravity Forest.
There was also an old man with gray hair and a beard. He looked old, but his eyes shone brightly. He was the escort of White Coral Floating Island Academy, which Angor and the others were about to join. He was Mister Florent, a level-3 apprentice.
Behind Mister Florent stood an old man in a black robe and a young man. Aleen's eyes lit up when she saw them. She waved her arms at them.
They were Mara and Alan, whom Angor had not seen for a long time.
