When Swan asked the question, Helen's face was filled with suspicion and vigilance.
"Lady Swan, why are you so interested in Mister Padt?" Helen asked carefully.
Swan narrowed her eyes. She had a bad feeling when she saw Helen's expression. "Why do you care so much about my question?"
Helen cleared her throat and looked away. "I'm just curious. You've never been interested in The Limpet before, Lady Swan."
Swan's expression darkened. "Don't tell me you've taken a liking to that kid." Helen's eyes widened.
Helen waved her hand to deny it, but when she saw Swan's expression, she lowered her hand. "I have to admit, there's something about Mister Padt that attracts me."
Helen turned around and leaned against the railing. Looking at the morning sun in the thin clouds and mist, his eyes were calm.
"Well, I don't think so. We're on the same ship, but we rarely see each other. There's something about him that's different from the other supernaturals I've met. He's knowledgeable, kind, and generous. I like those qualities. "
"So, liking him is just an illusion," Swan said.
Helen shook her head. "I'm not sure. But … it doesn't matter now."
"What's wrong?"
"Different perspectives lead to different things." Helen recalled the conversation she had with Mister Padt on the night of the New Year's banquet. She learned a lot from that conversation, and she saw herself clearly.
Swan didn't know what was going through Helen's mind at that moment, but she could tell from the change in her expression that Helen was relieved, and then she felt a sense of relief from her body and mind.
"What did he say to you that made you change so much? Did he reject you? "Swan's voice was soft, but Helen still heard it.
Helen shook her head. "Mister Padt is very mature and wise. I didn't confess, and he didn't reject me. I learned a lot from our conversation that night. That's why I decided to become a supernatural. "
"To pursue a brighter future, to pursue Mister Asbel … and to realize my own worth."
Swan's eyes flashed with surprise. She had tried many times to persuade Helen to join the wizarding world, but Helen seemed to be content with the life of a mortal. She respected Helen, so she did not force her.
Who would've thought that this Pat guy would actually enlighten Helen?
Swan was a little jealous, especially when she heard Ye Zichen say, "That night? What night? What happened between you two? Also, who is this Asbel? "
Helen looked at Swan's jealous face and giggled. "What are you talking about? It's just a simple conversation with Mister Padt about our future goals."
"As for Lady Asbel, she used to be the uncrowned ruler of the Blackberry Waters, but she disappeared all of a sudden. I heard from Mister Padt that she also joined the wizarding world. She used to be my idol. " Helen noticed the strange look on Swan's face and added, "Also, she's a beautiful woman."
A woman? Swan was taken aback. She felt a bit better, but still a bit uncomfortable. Follow Asbel's footsteps? Why don't you follow my footsteps?
"Fine. Looks like you really do respect this Padt kid. Seeing as how he gave you the motivation to pursue your dreams and how tactful he is, I'll try my best not to hate him." Swan pursed her lips at the end of her sentence.
Helen smiled. "Lady Swan, you haven't told me why you're asking about Mister Padt."
"Like I said, you can just call me Swan. I'm not that much older than you. " Swan glared at her. "Actually, it's not a big deal to ask around about him," she said in a serious tone. I'm just curious. "
"Last night, this Padt guy you're talking about fought with a genius apprentice on the sea."
"Last night? A genius apprentice? "
"That's right. That genius apprentice is a natural born Son of the Sea. Even a formal wizard wouldn't be able to kill him on the sea."
Helen was also surprised. She had just read The Wizard's Call and roughly understood the difference between an apprentice and a formal wizard. That was why she was even more surprised.
"How about you, Swan? How strong are you compared to him?"
Swan shook her head. "I'm only a level-3 apprentice. Compared to him, I think he can crush me with his little finger."
Swan recalled how Jebra noticed her when she looked at the battlefield from afar after the battle ended. She still couldn't forget how terrified she felt.
"Is Mister Padt alright? Even Lady Swan couldn't defeat him?" Helen asked worriedly.
"He's fine. But it was precisely because he was completely fine that I found it very strange. I sensed some energy conflicts between them, but they parted ways peacefully. As far as I know, Jebra isn't someone who would let someone go so easily. That's why I think there's something wrong with this Padt guy. "
Helen relaxed a bit after hearing that Padt was fine. "What's wrong with Mister Padt? Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. Wouldn't it be a truce if they explained clearly? Or maybe they know each other? "
"That 'Son of Sea' is a big deal. If they know each other, I want to know who this Padt guy is."
Seeing that Helen had let down her guard, Swan said, "Don't worry, I'm just looking for some basic information. I doubt you'll know anything more than that. Besides, I can ask someone else on The Limpet if you don't want to tell me. "
Helen considered and agreed with Swan's words. "Alright. What do you want to know?"
"Which organization is he from? What's his full name?"
"Brute Cavern. He never told me his full name."
"Brute Cavern? That's a big organization. But I thought White Clam Shipping was backed by Floating Mech City? Why did they send an apprentice from Brute Cavern to guard The Limpet? "
"It's a long story. The truth is that Master Roman was disloyal …" Even though it was an internal affair of the White Clam Shipping Company, everyone on The Limpet knew about it. Swan could ask someone else and get the answer she wanted.
Swan's brows furrowed. "Leviathan is involved in this?" Helen asked. "Wait a minute, Leviathan is involved in this."
"Also, you said Padt is good at illusions. I know that. But I didn't think he would be able to fool even the Leviathan! Even if Leviathan is a little stupid and doesn't have enough spirit perception, it shouldn't be able to fool him with illusions. " The more Swan thought about it, the stranger she felt. "This Padt is no ordinary man. If only I could see the video recording of the incident."
Unfortunately, the recording was already given to White Clam Shipping.
Next, Helen told Swan about what everyone on the ship already knew. This included the strange ship in the fog that they had encountered by chance.
Swan didn't pay much attention to the ship. She simply treated it as a ghost ship. There were too many strange things happening at Devil's Water. She had seen ghost ships a few times herself.
However, Swan was more interested in something else Helen mentioned.
"He knows alchemy?"
There were two things Swan was interested in. First, Padt used alchemy to repair the ship, and second, the runes Padt drew on the ship.
Of course, Swan was also interested in what happened at Specter's Water, especially the giant jellyfish that showed up. Still, it had nothing to do with Swan's current goal. She could write it down and ask Lady Payne to analyze it later.
Helen described the scene with great certainty, and even pointed out that the mageweath Patt had drawn was called the "Constant Temperature Mageweath".
Swan's expression slowly turned strange.
He came from Brute Cavern, knew illusions, knew alchemy, and more importantly, enchantment.
A name came to mind.
"So he used some kind of method to disguise his appearance," Swan mumbled to herself. She did notice that Padt looked like a lazy, middle-aged man. But if it was Padt, he didn't look like this at all.
"Mister Padt's appearance is fake?" Helen exclaimed.
Si Man nodded. "Didn't you say you're old enough to be the mother of that mortal who's pursuing you? Let me tell you something. If I'm not mistaken, this Padt you're talking about is even younger than that mortal."
Helen's eyes widened. She looked like she just got struck by lightning.
Swan noticed the absent-minded look on Helen's face. She looked calm on the outside, but inside, she was very happy.
"Is this true?" Helen suddenly remembered something. She took out a piece of parchment from her pouch and showed it to Swan. "Mister Padt gave this to me. Do you know what it is?"
Swan took the parchment and read the symbols on it. She was even more certain now.
"A lion's heart entangled by thorns … That's it. The Mister Padt you're talking about is Angor. I remember his last name. His name is Padt. "Swan took out a magazine from her pocket." Take a look and you'll know. "
The cover of the magazine was very complicated, but Helen saw the same pattern on the cover at a glance.
The title on the side read: "Moonshot of Ancient Times: A Master's Work Revealed".
After reading it, Helen fell into silence. There was no picture of Angor on the cover of the magazine, but she did find some information about him. It was exactly as Swan said.
"It's a gossip magazine. I know it's a bit exaggerated, but it's still too early to call him a master alchemist. Still, the fact that an entertainment item can be sold for 200,000 magic crystals is proof enough. " Swan sighed. "No wonder Jebra let him go so easily. If I were him, I would've shown him some respect too, considering that he's an alchemist."
Swan thought to herself. Angor's appearance here probably has nothing to do with that mysterious space. Maybe I can report it to Master.
"But I think the rumor about him not being on good terms with Jebra is just a rumor."
Swan didn't get a response from Helen after a long while. Confused, she turned to look at Helen. In the end, she found that Helen had lowered her head and was still maintaining her initial silent posture.
"You're not hurt, are you? Fine, I don't want to admit it, but he's a lot better looking than the middle-aged man he pretends to be. I heard that Bogula once took a liking to him. "Swan sighed." Age doesn't matter if you really like him. "" That's right.
"I'm fine. I told you I've already gotten over it. I was just thinking that Mister Padt is even better than I thought he was. I guess I'll have to work harder to catch up to him." Helen nodded. "I'm fine. I told you I've already gotten over it. I'm just thinking that Mister Padt is even better than I thought.
After making sure that Helen wasn't dispirited and was even more motivated than before, Swan paused for a moment and then smiled.
She didn't like Angor at first, but now she felt grateful.
At least he changed Helen's mind.
