Angor felt a little uneasy as he watched Sunders leave. His instinct told him that Sleepless City would continue to grow, especially since he just came back from Pocratee. When he saw the desolate state of Pocratee, he could almost see the future of Sleepless City.
As for what Yorkshire's goal was, Angor had yet to figure it out. As for what would happen to Sleepless City in the end, no one knew.
Angor shook his head. He didn't need to worry about such things anyway. Instead, he rode on his Gondola and headed toward Phantom Island.
The weather at Phantom Island was always fine. Following Drifting Cloud, Angor soon arrived at Phantom Island.
His Gondola attracted a lot of attention along the way. Most people were using brooms, which made the Gondola look a little exaggerated. Fortunately, the Gondola was hidden by the starry sky curtain, which prevented people from noticing who was riding it.
Before he could enter Phantom Island, he saw a beautiful figure walking toward him from the sky bridge that connected the island.
"What are you doing here, Nausica?" Angor was surprised to see her here.
Nausica was holding a pipe in her hand while exhaling some smoke from her mouth. The smoke mixed with the clouds around her, giving her an ethereal look.
She walked to Angor's side, bringing with her a quiet and elegant rose scent.
"I've been waiting for you at the Falling Cloud Leaf Station. I didn't expect to wait for a week." Nausica tucked her hair behind her ear and put on a strange look. "Why do I feel like you've grown a lot stronger?"
"That's just your imagination. What are you waiting for?" Angor tried to change the topic.
"You asked me to help you check the Krakoks' bloodline, right? That's why I'm here. If you don't come back soon, I'll have to find a safe place to fuse with my bloodline." She spent a week in the wilderness, but she didn't look worried at all. Instead, she was looking forward to the future.
"Bloodline fusion is a risky thing. You must be fully prepared," said Angor.
"Of course. Not only have I been waiting for you at the Falling Cloud Stop, but I've also gone to the Cloud Library to rent information about the Neid Demon's bloodline. I have a general understanding of the situation. Together with what Spivey told me, the risk is very, very low. "
"That's good." He led her to the center of Phantom Island. "Speaking of which, I've heard rumors about Nether Demons, but I've never seen one with my own eyes. Are you going to grow something weird when you fuse with your bloodline? For example, wings of flesh and a devil's tail. "
"Nied Demons look very similar to humans, but their bodies are about twice the size of humans. If it has horns on its head, it must have a devil's tail too. " Nausica shrugged. "Well, I can't control what happens to my body. But I don't care about my appearance. I don't care what I look like. I'm willing to pay anything as long as it can help me reach greater heights."
That was her nature. Her dream was eternal and immortal. But Angor knew that she had a plan in mind when she had to pay for what she had done. For example, freedom and bottom line, she would never cross them. However, if it was purely a change in appearance, it was nothing to her. She didn't care at all.
Speaking of bloodlines, Angor couldn't help but think of his other best friend — Sailum.
"Speaking of bloodlines, Dave told me that Sailum disappeared before you went to the purification garden at Floating Mech City. I heard he went to —"
"Bloodline fusion," said Nausica.
"Yeah. Dave said he went to fuse bloodlines. But it's been four months, and he still hasn't shown up. Do you know where he went? "
Nausica shook her head. She also looked worried when talking about Sailum. The Azure Bloodline was a bloodline full of unknown dangers. No one knew what kind of danger it could bring. Besides, Sailum never showed up. Nausica couldn't help but worry.
"I don't know where he went, but someone might." Nausica pondered for a moment and said, "Someone might."
"Who is it?"
Under Angor's puzzled gaze, Nausica mentioned a name that Angor never thought of before. "The Elder of Books."
"Do you remember what's Sailum's most precious possession?"
Angor nodded. Anyone who knew Sailum, even those who only observed him, would know. "Books. He always carries a thick book with him."
"That's right, it's that book. I don't know what he's thinking about. But his obsession with that book led him to meet the Elder of Books. The Elder of Books told him that if he wanted to turn the book into a spirit, he had to become a Sage. That's why Sailum is so obsessed with the Azure Bloodline. " Nausica paused. "Since the Elder of Books told him about this, I think the Elder of Books must know where Sailum is."
"But so what? The Elder of Books hasn't shown up for a long time." Nausica sighed.
Angor was a little disappointed. The Elder of Books was the weirdest of the three ancestor souls. He usually stayed in Cloud Library and refused to meet anyone. Angor met the Elder of Books once, but he never saw the Elder of Books in the library again.
Angor sighed. "Well, it's his own choice, and we have to respect it. I just hope he's safe."
Angor and Nausica both felt a little sad about Sailum's disappearance.
After a while, Angor finally broke the silence. This time, he changed the topic to the Krakoks.
He already told Sunders about the Krakoks back in Floating Mech City, but he didn't go into too much detail. So, he decided to go through everything again, including the advice Sunders gave to the Krakoks.
Nausica didn't comment right away. She hadn't seen the Krakoks yet, so it was pointless for her to say anything now.
"I didn't think Mister Sunders would allow you to put the Krakoks in his mansion," Nausica said with a surprised look.
Angor didn't think much about it. His impression of Sunders was completely different from how the others saw him.
Following the roars of beasts coming from the forest, they arrived at the center of Phantom Island.
This was the first time Nausica came to Sunders' mansion. Even though she knew Sunders wasn't here, she still felt nervous. She didn't even talk much after entering the mansion.
"Mister Padt." Butler Goode came to greet them.
Angor nodded and asked Goode to take Nausica to the greenhouse to check on the Krakoks. Meanwhile, Angor returned to his bedroom and changed into a loose wizard robe. The robe wasn't dirty, but Angor still felt a little disgusted after wearing it for so many days.
He walked out of his bedroom and headed to the greenhouse. But before he reached the door, he smelled something delicious, which aroused his long-dormant appetite.
In a daze, he followed the smell to the kitchen.
At the entrance of the kitchen, he saw Hobbiton, who was also attracted by the delicious smell of the food.
Even though he was dressed like a Phantom Servant, his short stature still revealed his identity. He was sniffing the air through the cracks in the kitchen. He seemed to be enjoying himself. It was as if he was eating a delicious meal just by smelling the air.
Another Phantom Servant came to Angor, scolded Hobbiton, and dragged him away.
"Greetings, Mister Padt," the Phantom Servant said in a low voice as he walked past Angor.
"You're … Number 233?"
"Yes."
Number 233. When Angor was knocked out by Parasite Queen, this man disguised himself as Angor and took his place in the remaining matches of Sky Tower. Angor was quite familiar with this man's voice.
"Who's in there?" Angor pointed at the kitchen.
Before Number 233 could answer, Hobbiton said, "I know! It's Lady Greya! "
Number 233 knocked on Hobbiton's head. "You have no right to speak here."
Number 233's tone clearly showed his affection for Hobbiton. Angor didn't expect Hobbiton to live such a good life here.
After saying goodbye to Number 233, Angor returned to the kitchen. Just as Hobbiton said, he heard Greya's voice from inside.
But it was not something nice. Greya was talking to someone, and she kept cursing and swearing.
Angor pushed the door open a little and saw Greya. "You're back, Angor?" Greya looked at Angor.
Angor chuckled awkwardly and entered the kitchen.
He quickly noticed who Greya was scolding. It was another group of Phantom Servants, but they were wearing white robes instead of black.
Angor recognized them. They were the chefs in charge of the kitchen.
"Where's your teacher? He didn't come back with you? "Greya asked Angor while preparing the ingredients in her hands.
"Mister Wallace summoned him to Sleepless City again." Angor briefly explained what happened in Sleepless City.
Greya pursed her lips and didn't say anything about it. Instead, she kept complaining about how Sunders was wasting the food.
Angor listened carefully and realized that Sunders was eating extremely precious ingredients. Angor already knew that. Since Sunders didn't have a Gourmet Wizard, the ingredients were simply prepared and served on the table.
Greya was yelling at these cooks for not knowing how to cook these ingredients at all. They were messing around with the ingredients, which were supposed to be top-quality ingredients, and turning them into low-class garbage.
Last time, Angor had dinner here, and he never stayed again. The food was too horrible, and he almost had to eat it raw.
"I wouldn't have come here if they weren't so wasteful." Greya paused a little. "Since you're back, I'll leave some for you in the kitchen. Remember to come back later."
Angor's eyes lit up. He quickly nodded in case Greya changed her mind.
