Following Papaya's decision, Lococo decided to leave with her parents. Her parents, on the other hand, comforted her and told Angor that they were willing to leave.
"We'll be a burden to Lococo if we stay here. Let's go." Lococo's mother gave Angor a sad smile.
Lococo's father nodded in agreement. Thanks to the Moonlily Fairy, they learned about the cruelty of the wizarding world. They also knew that they couldn't be with their daughter and might even become her weakness. Despite Lococo's unwillingness, they had no choice but to leave.
Angor shook his head when he saw Lococo still sobbing. Lococo was like a child who couldn't grow up. He was right not to put the responsibility of saving her family on her shoulders.
Since they were going to leave soon, Papaya and her children didn't want to leave Phantom Island. Instead, they decided to stay in the greenhouse with their families.
Seeing this, Angor did not say anything and nodded in agreement.
Next, he took out a pot filled with soil, broke off a branch from the Milkberry Tree, and planted it into the soil. He planned to move the Milkberry Tree to Padt Manor. The sap of the Milkberry Tree was very beneficial to mortals. When Jon recovered, he could use it to nourish his body.
With that done, Angor brought Toby out of the greenhouse and went to Greya's hut.
Perhaps it was because of Toby, Greya prepared a feast for him. Angor was so immersed in the world of food that he wished he had an extra hand.
"This is so good! I wish I could learn how to make food too!" Angor couldn't help but exclaim. His hologram tablet contained many recipes from Earth. "Maybe I should try?"
Toby heard Angor's mumbling and quickly waved his hands at Angor. "Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Don't ever!
Greya chuckled as well. She did not forget that Angor once asked her to teach him how to make Mana Bread. However, no matter how hard she tried, Angor's Mana Bread always smelled like dirty socks. The only difference was whether the bread was baked for a month or a week.
Thanks to Toby's Snowy Feather, Angor and Toby were able to survive in the plane passageway. Otherwise, they would have to eat Mana Bread that tasted like socks. It was no wonder Toby was so excited.
"Don't get too excited. I'm talking about delicacies made with raw materials, not magical snacks made out of thin air." He stroked Toby's head and felt confident about himself. "I just need to control the heat and stir fry. It's easy. I'll be fine."
Toby shook his head again, which made him want to prove his cooking skills right now.
Greya shook her head with a smile and took out a white blob from her storage. She divided it into two halves and handed one to Toby and the other to Angor.
"This is Mana Meat. If you can't find anything to eat, you can use this to quench your hunger," Greya explained.
Angor poked at the white blob and found it slippery. It looked like fat meat, but also like silicone. The skin seemed to have a memory function, which allowed Angor to recall the original shape of the bloated meat.
"Is this edible?" Angor took a sniff and sensed a light fragrance lingering around his nose.
"Yes, Magic Larva is a strange life form that's a cross between a living creature and a plant. Once it comes into contact with energy, it'll quickly multiply, and if you don't pay attention, it'll grow extremely large. Even if you cut them into countless pieces, you still can't stop them from growing like crazy. " Greya flicked a ball of mana onto the Mana Meat. The white blob immediately grew ten times bigger.
It was only a small blob at first, but now it was bigger than a baby.
"Oops, I used too much mana. You can cut it and eat it to taste it. " Greya paused. "As long as you don't eat it all at once, you can use mana to make it bigger again."
Angor and Toby tasted a piece of Mana Brood out of curiosity.
It was sweet and tasted like both meat and vegetables. It was very satisfying. Angor cut a piece of meat and dipped it into the onion and tomato soup. He found that the combination was surprisingly good.
"This is great!" Angor's eyes lit up. "With this, we'll never run out of food!"
"It's true that magic won't run out. But it also has a limited lifespan. It can live for about 200 years, and it will still die after that. The closer it is to the end of its life, the drier its meat will be. Personally, I prefer the drier Mana Brood. The Mana Brood I gave you is only about 15 or 16 years old. It's tender and sweet, "Greya explained.
"If I cut it open, will the other half inherit the life of the first half?" Angor asked.
"Of course."
"Even if there's a lifespan limit, Devil Nourishing Meat is still a pretty good food." Angor paused and showed a confused look. "But I've never heard of such a thing before."
Greya chuckled. "Mana Brood comes from a deep trench in the ocean of the Barren Sacrificial Plane. I think I'm the only gourmet wizard who went there. So …"
"So, wizards don't know about it?"
"Correct. But it's just an ordinary thing. Apart from its crazy growth, it doesn't have much nutritional value. It can only fill one's stomach. Wizards won't care even if they know about it. " Greya shrugged. "It's only useful for mortals and beginner apprentices. Mortals don't have mana. Beginner apprentices can make Mana Bread to ignore Mana Brood."
After all, not every apprentice was as good as Angor, who could make Mana Bread as smelly as a pair of socks.
"You're right. But I can make a machine to collect energy for mortals," Angor mumbled. Angor mumbled to himself. He could give it to his own family. "Lady Greya, you don't mind if I share it with the others, do you?"
"You can do whatever you want with it." Greya waved a hand. It was just an ordinary thing anyway.
Angor quickly bowed to thank Greya.
The Mana Brood wasn't useful to him, but it could at least keep mortals from starving. Angor wasn't planning to save the world. He just wanted to save the Mana Brood for his family.
Toby waddled to Angor's side and whispered something.
— With this Mana Brood, I'll never eat anything you cook! Never!
Angor rolled his eyes. "I don't want to do it for you!"
Angor felt refreshed after the meal. Greya's food had the power to turn something rotten into something magical. He felt the tightness in his chest was gone.
Greya cleaned up the table and sat down in front of Angor. "You made the right choice by leaving Fey Continent. The wizarding world is in a mess right now. It's good that you left.
"But the Marginalized Island isn't safe either. Remember, stay out of trouble and don't get involved in any wizard fights."
Greya's expression was serious, and Angor was puzzled by what she just said.
"The Old Earth isn't safe? Lady Greya, did you find anything? "Angor quickly asked.
Greya didn't expect Angor to call the Marginalized Island that way. She thought about it and said, "It's strange that there isn't any news."
"What do you mean?"
"Before your teacher left, he asked me to find out about the Old Earth for you. I thought there shouldn't be any supernaturals over there since it's an abandoned continent. But after I asked around, I realized something strange was going on. " Greya frowned. "Even an abandoned continent like the Old Earth should have some sources of information. But since four years ago, the Old Earth seemed to have been isolated from the outside world. We haven't heard anything from it. That's strange."
"Did something happen to the Old Earth?" Angor was a little worried. He knew what wizards were capable of. Destroying a city or a country was as easy as flipping a hand.
"You don't have to worry about that. I checked the routes and found nothing wrong with the Old Earth. There were even cargo ships leaving Vichy Harbor in the second half of last year," Greya said. "But I'm a little worried that our sources of information were cut off. But your relatives are mortals, so there shouldn't be any problem."
Angor relaxed a little after hearing Greya's words. Vichy Harbor was an important port of Goldspink Empire. If nothing happened there, Goldspink Empire should be fine too.
"But … it's too much of a coincidence that our sources of information were cut off four years ago. I left the Old Earth four years ago as well, "said Angor.
"Maybe there's some supernaturals involved? But who would go to that godforsaken place? "
Angor suddenly thought of a red-haired figure.
"Thewis?!" Angor hesitated. "Is it Mister Thewis?"
"Yeah, Thewis went to the Old Earth several years ago. I haven't heard anything about him since. But if I remember correctly, Thewis went to the Old Earth to capture Eureka, who stole the Crimson Crown. Why is there no news about him? "
The Crimson Crown? Angor's eyes widened as he realized he just heard something very important.
It was the Crimson Crown that Eureka had stolen from the Goman Kingdom. Thewis went to the Old Earth to capture Eureka.
But … Angor suddenly thought of someone else. "Crimson Mask" Irisa.
As far as Angor knew, Irisa and Thewis were brother and sister. Thewis went to hunt down the thief of the Crimson Crown, while Irisa suddenly showed up at Floating Mech City and asked him to help her fake it?
There must be something fishy going on.
Did Thewis and Irisa want the Crimson Crown for themselves?
Angor shivered and decided not to think about it further. Sunders warned him not to get involved in the Crimson Crown because it was related to the internal strife of Goman Kingdom.
"Maybe it's Thewis' doing. Maybe he's trying to cut off Eureka's connection to Fey Continent because he can't get his hands on her yet? Whatever. But remember, don't mess with Thewis. He's one of the most hot-tempered wizards in the southern wizarding region. "
"If you don't provoke him, I don't think he'll do anything to you for no reason. Of course, you probably won't run into him at all. "
