Time passed quickly.
Another year passed in the blink of an eye. By the time Angor saw the time displayed on the bottom right corner of his tablet, The Limpet had already reached the Billow Sea Route.
The Billow Sea Route was the first route to Devil's Water for people on Ferran Land. But for ships heading to Ferran Land, it was basically the end of their journey.
"It's been five months since we set sail," Angor murmured as he listened to the joyful singing of the sailors.
The more joyful a place was, the more distant it felt.
Angor felt empty inside. He didn't want to think about the unknown, nor did he want to reminisce about the past. He just wanted to empty his mind.
This went on for most of the night before Tulu's arrival broke the silence.
"Mister Padt, are you going to join the party? Vice Captain Helen asked me to invite you … "Tulu said carefully.
Angor shook his head. "It's fine. You'll feel awkward if I go. I'll just stay here and watch."
"We're almost at Ferran Land. Everyone wants to thank you in person, sir," Tulu continued.
Angor considered and didn't refuse.
He was just a passer-by. Since they were lucky enough to be on the same ship, it was fate that brought them together.
Angor left the stage. As he expected, everyone was grateful to him, but they were afraid to do anything because of him. In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Angor only drank a small glass of wine and went to the railing of the ship to enjoy the cold wind.
"My Lord, thank you." A gentle voice sounded from the side.
Angor turned around and saw Helen walking to him in casual clothes. Her hair was fluttering in the wind.
For a moment, Angor thought he was back to the time when he first boarded The Limpet.
He had been blowing on the deck, and Helen had come to thank him. It was exactly the same as what he was experiencing now.
"You did your job and helped The Limpet reach Ferran Land. That's all I need." He didn't change the fact that Helen was thankful for his help.
Helen lowered her head and remained silent for a while. Suddenly, she asked, "Sir, if I were to enter the wizarding world, would I be able to catch up to you?"
"Why me?" Angor looked at Helen. His eyes were as clear as the surface of the ocean under the sunlight.
Helen was dazed for a moment before she spoke hesitantly, "The only Extraordinaires I know are you and Lord Roman, my lord. Mister Roman is already … So, you're the only one I can catch up to. "
"Isn't there still Asbel?" Angor chuckled when he mentioned Nausica's name. "I don't mind being your target. But in both the wizarding world and the world of mortals, you should always focus on yourself. Surpass yourself. That's what you should do... "
Helen was silent for a moment. After a long while, she nodded slightly and said, "I understand."
During the past half a year, he could tell that Helen was interested in him. He even guessed that Helen wanted to enter the supernatural world because of him.
He didn't mind becoming someone's target to help them grow. But if he became too stubborn, he might end up on the wrong path.
Instead of waiting until he reached the final step, it was better to know who he was from the very beginning.
Helen was a real witch. She understood what Angor was trying to say. She didn't seem to be struggling at all. She only showed a hint of regret, which quickly faded away.
She was able to become the vice-captain of The Limpet despite being a woman. She was not only confident in her own abilities, but she was also decisive.
He noticed a slight change in Helen's expression, and her eyes revealed relief. "Sounds like you're very confident about going to the wizarding world, huh?" Angor asked in a joking tone.
Helen shrugged noncommittally. Swan had already hinted that she wanted to help her become a Talent, but Helen pretended not to understand at that time. Now, she was determined to go to the wizarding world.
"If you become a talent, you can come to Brute Cavern." While speaking, he took out a parchment from his bracelet. A picture of a lion's heart surrounded by thorns appeared on the paper.
He handed the parchment to Helen and said, "Burrow from White Shell Sea, you know him, right? If you want to join Brute Cavern, you can take this to him. "
Helen nodded and put away the parchment. She was sure that even if she became a talent, she would choose to stay with Swan instead of going to Brute Cavern. But the truth was hard to predict. Who could completely guarantee the future?
She could always find a way out with this parchment. Even if she couldn't use it, she could at least keep it as a memento.
Their conversation didn't last long. Helen returned to the party and drank with everyone else.
The party lasted until midnight. Most of the guests were already drunk, but they were still humming champagne songs. Angor leaned against the railing and began to hum along with the melodious song.
When the song came to an end, everyone on the ship, except for those who were still on duty, fell asleep.
Under the gentle moonlight, The Limpet slowly sailed toward dawn.
When the darkness was finally broken, a guard on the observation deck shouted, "The light from the Lighthouse is coming in!"
It was still early in the morning, and the sky was still gray. Those who had been drunk all night were still suffering in their dreams. When they suddenly heard this sentence, their misty eyes all lit up.
Almost half of the sailors stood up and looked at the horizon.
Angor also came out of his room.
He saw a grayish-green lighthouse in the distance, which didn't look very tall due to the distance. The lighthouse on top of the lighthouse was shining toward The Limpet.
Most of the light was absorbed by the darkness of the night, but it didn't stop them from seeing it.
Almost everyone started cheering!
Angor was confused at first, but when he heard the chatter below, he realized why they were so excited.
The Lighthouse was the symbol of entering Devil's Water. When they saw the lighthouse, it meant that they had arrived at Lighthouse Point.
Lighthouse Point was a supply station for traveling to and from Devil's Water.
Once they got past this point, they would be out of Devil's Water. They would no longer have to face the waves day and night. How could they not be happy?
"We're finally out of here?" Angor thought about the journey from Devil's Water. It felt like a dream to him. After experiencing a dangerous situation and a miraculous encounter, he felt that this trip had not been in vain.
When The Limpet arrived at Lighthouse Point, Angor saw a group of mortals standing under the lighthouse, cheering for The Limpet. Some of them even threw food and cloth onto the ship.
"So, this is Lighthouse Point's hospitality?"
"Every time I see this place, I feel like the trip was worth it."
"Although I still don't know them, every time I see their enthusiasm, I feel like a general returning in triumph."
Angor heard the sailors' conversation. To his surprise, the mortals on the island all cheered for The Limpet.
He could vaguely hear the islanders praising the ship: "The brave ship that vanquished demons."
"They're very kind indeed." Angor was touched by the sincerity of the mortals. He deeply felt that there were too many people in this world. Although they lived insignificant and lowly lives, they had their own way of living, and they also had their own beliefs and beliefs.
This was the real world, not the cold data recorded in books.
The Limpet didn't stop there. Instead, it continued to sail past Enlightening Long Island. It was as if they had become warriors who had conquered the demons.
According to the map, Lighthouse Point belonged to Aureum, a country at the southwest border of Ferran.
In another day, they would arrive at Aureum Nation's Yue Se Port. Everyone was eager to return home. Many of the sailors who were from Ferran Continent couldn't wait to return home. Even those who weren't from Ferran Continent wanted to return home as soon as possible. Since they had enough supplies, they didn't want to waste time at Lighthouse Point.
On the morning of the second day, the coastline of Ferran Continent was already in sight.
The Limpet entered the port without a hitch. When the merchants saw a freighter from Fey Continent, their eyes lit up and they quickly went to report the news to the major trading companies.
Angor also got off the ship while the cargo was being unloaded. Helen and Erwin were by his side, while Tulu stood behind Erwin.
"Sir, I have a mansion in Yother City. If you don't mind, why don't you stay there for a few days?" Erwin asked politely.
Angor considered. He was planning to stay at Ferran Continent for a while. First, he wanted to investigate Lucas, and second, he wanted to see if he could find more talents here.
Besides, he hadn't finished studying the "Blank Poem" yet, so he didn't reject Erwin's offer. "Thank you for your hospitality."
"Sir, you've been taking care of us along the way. We're just doing our part as a host." Erwin was about to lead the way when he saw a man approaching them. But as soon as he turned around, he saw a man in the White Clam Shipping Company's uniform in the distance. He frowned and said, "Sir, I may have to excuse myself. The company's supervisor is here. He probably wants to find out why Sir Roman hasn't received any signal for a long time. Helen and I are going to report to the company about Sir Roman."
Erwin looked at Tulu and said, "Tulu, why don't you take the lord back to my place? I'll go to the company and remove your status as a probationary employee."
Tulu nodded and walked to Angor's side.
Angor also noticed the man in the distance. He sensed a faint energy aura coming from him, which meant he was a new apprentice.
"Alright then." Angor was about to leave with Tulu when he suddenly stopped. "Captain Erwin, there's something I need your help with."
