"You're a Flame Griffin?! I remember now! You're Angor! "The black-robed man suddenly shouted in surprise.
Angor paused for a second in midair when the man suddenly pointed out his identity.
In the next second, the horned whale began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye until it was as small as a human palm. At the same time, a young man wearing a white hood appeared out of nowhere and stood in the air using the help of a bubble.
Angor stood on Toby's back and looked at the handsome young man with a blue fish scale between his eyebrows. "Jebra? So you're the one behind all this. "
Jebra was wearing a white robe with blue trim. He stood tall and straight like the son of moonlight, looking elegant and noble.
He held the black-robed man's collar with one hand and placed his other hand on the back of the man's head. Ripples began to spread out from the man's head and went into Jebra's forehead.
The black-robed man's body slowly withered and turned into dust.
Jebra patted the dust off his hands and patted the little blue whale that was swimming around him. "No wonder I felt so familiar with that grayish bird that was following my puppet around. By the way, you're using an illusion spell, right?"
Angor released layers of energy from his body, but he didn't say a word.
"Don't be so cold. You're Mister Phantom's disciple, so I won't do anything to you. I just wanted to say hello to you. At least, we're not enemies yet, right?" Jebra waved a hand, and all the water vapor around him returned to normal. The violent water energy also calmed down.
Angor's appearance slowly became blurry, and he returned to his normal appearance.
"What? You're not going to ask why I'm following you? "Angor raised an eyebrow.
Jebra chuckled. "I know you're here for the Old Earth, which has nothing to do with us. But I'm still curious. Why are you following my puppet? "
Angor was a little surprised. He didn't think Jebra was pretending.
He suddenly remembered what the hunchback from the Rat Ant Underground told him several months ago. The hunchback was captured by Song of the Deep, but was released by Song of the Deep after hearing that they were going to kill Angor. It made sense that Jebra knew where the hunchbacked man went.
"So those people from the Rat Ant Society weren't lying," he said with a straight face.
That was all it took for Jebra to think about many things.
The fact that Angor was standing here unharmed meant that the Rat Ant Underground Society's plan had failed. Since Angor said "they weren't lying", he must have interrogated the Rat Ant Underground Society people.
Of course, Angor knew that Song of the Deep's plan was to release rats and ants underground to "kill people".
Unlike Sliv, Jebra's attitude toward Angor was the same as Flunza's. He wanted to build a good relationship with Angor. First of all, Angor was a genius alchemist, and being on good terms with an alchemist was a good idea. Maybe Jebra would need someone's help one day. Secondly, Jebra had other plans to deal with Shiliew.
His first reaction was not to ask why Angor was following them. Instead, he wanted to explain to Angor why he let the members of the Rat Ant Society go.
"Yes, I did release the Rat Ants, but it has nothing to do with me. It was Mister Sliv who gave the order to capture and release the Rat Ants." Jebra paused for a second before continuing, "I'm sure you know that Mister Sliv is a man who doesn't like Mister Phantom, so he doesn't like you either. But he didn't want to do anything to you, so he let the Rat Ant Underground Society people go. "
Jebra's willingness to explain meant that he was trying to appease Angor.
Jebra was known as the "Child of the Sea" on the sea, which meant he was much stronger than before.
If Angor really wanted to fight Jebra here, he would be the one at a disadvantage even if he had the sequence of gravity. Unless he told Toby to turn around and go back. Since Jebra was willing to help him, Angor decided to use this chance to get away with it.
However, in terms of attitude, he couldn't be less pretentious.
Angor spoke in a cold tone. "I thought you're from the Rat Clan, and I wanted to catch you all in one fell swoop. But I didn't expect to run into you here. "
Angor decided to use this as an excuse to explain why he was tailing them.
Jebra didn't say that he believed Angor's words. He knew that Angor only came to Ferran to return home, so he didn't care about Angor's reasons. As long as he knew that Angor didn't come for the Mysterious Space, he didn't care about anything else.
"Now that we've cleared up the misunderstanding, why don't we stop arguing? I'm heading to Yothur City anyway, so why don't we find a place to sit down and talk?"
"Clear up the misunderstanding? Now that you know why I'm here, I'd like to know why you're here. "Angor's expression was still cold. At the same time, there was a hint of anger in his tone.
Jebra looked at Angor with a doubtful expression. "You'd better stay out of this and stay out of it. Let me give you a piece of advice. My teacher will be coming to Devil's Water soon. If you keep asking, you'll end up dead. "
Jebra saw Angor's expression change and quickly added, "Mister Phantom is in the Abyss right now. He won't be able to save you in time. Are you sure you want to know more? "
If Jebra kept asking, Angor knew that Jebra would probably tell him the same thing. But it was another matter whether they would end up on good terms or not.
Angor chose to remain silent.
Jebra sighed in relief. He really didn't want to become Angor's enemy.
However, he didn't know that Angor wasn't as calm as he appeared to be.
Jebra didn't think he was telling the truth, but Angor still learned a lot from his words.
Currently, everything revolved around "Lucas," but Lucas was a mortal and a dead person. How could he cause so many waves?
At first, Angor thought it was just some apprentices trying to find information about Lucas. But now, Jebra confirmed that "Alchemist Sliv" and his teacher, "God of Sea" Flunza, were also involved. Flunza was an experienced truth-finder wizard who was even stronger than Sunders.
Jebra didn't know that Angor was also trying to find out more about Lucas. In fact, Angor probably knew more than them. Therefore, Jebra's words couldn't be false.
"What's so special about a mortal that so many powerful wizards are looking for him?" Angor wondered.
Angor didn't accept Jebra's invitation to talk to him at the tavern.
Instead, he snorted coldly, turned around, and left with a cold attitude.
Jebra didn't stop Angor from leaving. When Angor was out of sight, he tapped the blue scale on his forehead and released several ripples.
When the ripples touched the whale's horn, they suddenly disappeared and reappeared somewhere far away.
Half a day later, the whale released a new ripple from its horn. Jebra carefully examined the content of the ripple.
"He spent a whole day testing the talents of mortals in the city lord's mansion?" Jebra's frown relaxed a little. "I didn't think he would accept a guide mission when he returned home."
"It seems like he doesn't know about the mysterious space. But … why did I feel a strange premonition earlier?" Perhaps he was overthinking.
Jebra shook his head and turned into a puddle of seawater before disappearing into the sea.
Meanwhile, Angor had arrived at Marcel Street in the upper city. He sat down in front of his desk and began writing down some speculations in his notebook.
Angor only looked up when the night was about to end, and it was already past dawn.
Fu Yi turned around and saw Toby curled up on his little bed. Toby's red eyes were not closed. Instead, he was looking at the moonlight outside the window with a slightly disappointed expression.
Angor knew why Toby looked so down.
Before he left, he asked Jebra how he found him. Since Infinite Reticence was fully activated, even wizards would have a hard time finding him.
Jebra only pointed at Toby.
Angor could use Infinite Reticence to weaken his presence, but Toby couldn't. It was normal that Jebra could sense Toby's presence.
However, Toby felt like it was dragging Angor down, which was why it had been unhappy ever since it came back.
Angor walked to Toby and stroked its feathers. "It's not your fault. It's my fault. I didn't think it was Jebra's puppet, not a beginner apprentice."
Toby grumbled as if unhappy about Angor's ruffling of its feathers.
Toby's mood disappeared just as quickly as it came.
After receiving Angor's consolation and promise to make some clothes for it, Toby's mood was quickly forgotten.
After Toby fell asleep, Angor returned to his desk.
While he was comforting Toby, he also realized that the Rat Ants were able to locate him so quickly because of Toby. This time, it was also because Toby failed to hide his energy signature, which led to Jebra noticing it.
Angor managed to get through both times, but who knew if something similar would happen again in the future?
Now, he had to figure out how to hide Toby's energy signature.
But before that, there was something else he needed to do.
