Angor didn't know what to say. That sounded a little different from what he expected.
Angor assumed that the "destiny" was something like an ancient wizard's legacy, a powerful monster's nest, or a hidden dimension, or something like that. He had to fight for those things himself, or it was up to fate to find them.
But Boro sounded like he was waiting for something to happen.
Boro saw through Angor's confusion and chuckled while stroking his beard. "My teacher is Mister Wallace, and I'm from the most primitive school. I'm old now, and I don't want to compete with the young ones. "
That was a nice way to put it. He wasn't good at fighting, but he could pick up the leftovers.
While Boro and Angor were talking, Hami seemed to have reached an agreement with the other apprentices. They agreed that Hami would go back to the headquarters first, and they would find some other apprentices to come and guard the place.
Hami smiled brightly at Angor. "It's done. Hurry up. I'll go back as soon as I'm done."
Seeing how excited Hami was, Angor didn't want to disappoint him.
But when he thought about Hami's purpose, he shook his head. "I think you misunderstood. I'm not here to take over."
"You're not here to take over?" Hami exclaimed in disbelief. "How is that possible? Did you accept the guide mission?"
"Sort of."
"Then, can I see your mission information?" Hami still didn't believe Angor's words.
Angor showed Hami his bone card, hid his personal information, and showed the guide mission he received earlier.
Only then did Hami wail and walk to the side while cursing. The apprentices who were originally gathered together dispersed in a hubbub.
"If you're not here to take over, you should've told me earlier. I'm so happy about it! "Hami complained.
Angor shrugged. "I wanted to tell you, but you didn't give me a chance."
"You look younger than 50, right? Why did you accept a guide mission now? It's time-consuming, and you might not even find a suitable candidate. "Boro didn't really care about Angor's mission. He was just curious about Angor's choice.
Before he could answer, Hami spoke in a mocking tone, "Do you even need to ask? Look at that guy's clothes. He's a wizard from a noble academy. Just like you, he only dares to accept missions that aren't too dangerous. "
Boro didn't say anything. Instead, it was the other apprentices who laughed and said, "Aren't you here for duty duty? You still have the nerve to talk about others."
Hami was a little angry. "I took this mission to recuperate. I took it on the way. Who would have thought that this mission would require an apprentice of the same level to hand it over before they could leave! I'm not like you. I'm a real fighter just like Mister Sunders! "
"I can't be bothered to talk to you." Hami looked at Angor in annoyance. "Speaking of which, I'm more curious. Most of the sea routes are frozen. You can't do anything now. Why don't you wait until spring?"
"If I remember correctly, Devil's Water shouldn't freeze that easily, right?"
"You're going to Devil's Water?!" Both Boro and Hami blurted out at the same time.
Hami felt his cheeks burning when he saw Angor nodding. He was just mocking Angor for accepting missions that weren't too dangerous, and now Angor was telling him that he was going to go to Devil's Water, which was the most dangerous place in the world. He was like a fearless newborn calf.
"You're not going to Blackberry Waters or Whalebone Sea, are you?" Boro asked.
"That's right."
"But even if you're going to cross Devil's Water, the sea routes won't be unsealed yet, right? It's still too early for you to go there now. "
"I'm going to cross Devil's Water to get to the Land of Revelation first. I have a flying vehicle, so I can fly from the Land of Revelation to other places." Angor paused and continued, "The most important part of my journey is Devil's Water. I'm not familiar with the area, so I can't fly there even if I have a map. That's why I'm here. I want to ask if there are any ships that can cross Devil's Water to get to the Land of Revelation. "
Neither Boro nor Hami doubted Angor's words.
A person with a flying vehicle could ignore a lot of dangers. Besides, flying vehicles also represented strength. They couldn't tell how strong Angor was, but they were sure that he wasn't weak. He might even be stronger than everyone here.
"I don't know why Mister Padt chose to go to the other side of Devil's Water, but I'm sure you have something to do with it." Boro was silent for a moment, "The problem of ships is indeed within the scope of our authority as apprentices on duty. However, our ships aren't enough to cross the Devil's Water … Therefore, we can only help you contact the White Clam Shipping Company and see if they have any ships going to the Land of Revelation."
Angor hesitated. "Is the White Clam Shipping Company supported by —"
Boro nodded and pointed at the sky. "Yes. That's what you're thinking. Don't worry. They always bring some guides from wizard organizations with them. But Brute Cavern rarely goes to Devil's Water to look for talents, so you don't know much about them."
"Have you heard of The Redbud?" Angor suddenly asked.
Boro was surprised. "Oh, you know about it? The Redbud does belong to the White Clam Shipping Company. It's an ocean-going ship that takes years to sail. But the ship isn't at the port now. It left about half a year ago. "
Angor nodded. He didn't expect The Redbud to really belong to the White Clam Shipping Company.
"Since you already know, I won't say more. I'll go ask around for you now. I hope you can find a good candidate for our organization. " Boro took off his wizard hat, revealing his white hair. He bowed to Angor and slowly walked upstairs.
Angor was curious about why Boro was going upstairs. Hami explained for him.
"Floating Mech City's method — a transmitter. They put it on the roof. They say it has to be placed in the open, or they won't receive the signal. "
While Boro went to contact the people, Angor walked around the base curiously.
The base wasn't big, but the air was filled with lively energy. The lights were dim, and Angor could see all kinds of big books on the tables and chairs.
The books were placed randomly. Judging from their covers, most of them were professional books, such as Introduction to Anatomy, Analysis of Sound, Element of Light, and so on.
Most people were reading these books and jotting down something from time to time. They all looked like scholars.
Apart from the books, what attracted Angor's attention the most was a yellowish and dusty sea map hanging on the side of the spiral staircase.
Angor didn't know how long ago the map was drawn. The scale was obviously wrong. The map started from the southeast coast of Fey Continent and went all the way south. Only the name of the sea was marked. The size was all wrong, but the direction was correct.
Land of Revelation, Magic Eaves Promenade, Valhalla Island … These continents were all marked on the map, but only the direction was correct.
Strangely, Angor didn't see the Old Earth on the map. There was a strange symbol in the direction of the Old Earth. It looked like a blooming flower, but it also looked like some kind of animal.
It wouldn't be a big deal if there were no markings. There were too many places on the map that didn't seem to have been there before. But if there was a mark in the direction of the Old Earth, why did it look like this?
As he wondered, he suddenly heard an old voice coming from behind him.
"I don't know how old this map is. I think it was drawn by an apprentice or a mortal, who didn't know how to draw nautical maps, so it's useless. It's hung here because the wall doesn't look good, so they found a random wall in the warehouse and put it here. "
Angor looked back and saw old Boro coming down from upstairs.
"There are a lot of mistakes, but the directions of some places are quite accurate." Angor pointed at several places. "These are all correct, at least from what I read. But there's one place that's a bit strange. "
"Are you talking about the Marginalized Island?" Burrow stretched out his crutch and pointed at the drawing.
"Correct." Angor didn't correct him. Apart from his own people, most people on other continents referred to the Old Earth as the Marginalized Island.
"I think so too. Maybe it's because the terrain of the Marginalized Island is similar to this one?" Boro guessed. "Or maybe it's just a random scribble by the cartographer, and it just so happened to be at the Marginalized Island."
"But that's not important," Boro said.
"I think it's interesting. I'm planning to go to the Marginalized Island myself," Angor said.
"But the Marginalized Island is too far away. I don't think there are any talents there, and the elements there are too weak. " Boro shook his head. He wanted to stop Angor, but he didn't think he was in any position to do so.
"I asked around for you. There's a ship going out to sea, but it's not going to the Land of Revelation. It's going to Ferran Land next week."
Ferran Land? Angor looked up at the error-filled map.
According to the map, Ferran Land was right next to the Land of Revelation. But according to his research, Ferran Land was at least ten thousand kilometers away from the Land of Revelation, which was still within the Blackberry Waters.
Ten thousand kilometers might be a great distance for mortals, but it wasn't too far for Gondola.
Angor nodded. "Alright. We'll go to Ferran Land then. I'll go to the Land of Revelation alone."
Since Angor agreed, Boro quickly went upstairs to discuss with the White Clam Shipping Company. When Boro came downstairs again, his expression showed that the deal was done.
"They agreed. But they also said that most of the people on the ship are mortals. If they run into any danger, they hope you can protect them. Of course, if you're in danger yourself, you don't have to worry about them, "Boro explained.
"Are there any other supernaturals on the ship?"
"I'm not sure. But according to their rules, there should be at least a top-level apprentice. If it's a dangerous month at Devil's Water, there might even be a wizard. "
