The blue sky was clear, and the weather was clear. The end of the sea and the skyline almost merged into one.
Under such a bright and beautiful sunlight, a flying boat flew across the sky, leaving behind circles of foam-like mist.
Angor was sitting inside the boat with an expressionless face while looking at the owl perched on the bow of Gondola.
The owl flapped its wings and pointed in a certain direction. "That way, you hear me? That way! Are you an idiot? That way! "
Angor glanced at the boundless sea and tried to imagine how to roast the owl over a fire. But he still obeyed.
"So you're saying you're an idiot with no sense of direction. You can't even follow the map. Fortunately, Master arranged for me to follow you. Otherwise, you would never reach Lloyds in this lifetime. "The owl proudly held its head high in regards to its important position.
Angor didn't argue with the owl because he knew he could easily get lost on the sea. However, he didn't care about Brulee's arrogant attitude.
"We're not at the Old Earth, and we're not at Padt Manor. No one will know if I kill you, and no one will come to save you. So, keep your arrogant attitude to yourself, or else … "Angor chuckled, which made Brulee shudder.
Brulee looked at Angor in fear. Brulee finally cowered under Angor's cold stare. Its fluttering feathers slowly closed up, making it look like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost.
"You broke my monocle, and I didn't even blame you for that. Why are you yelling at me?"
This owl was Eureka's familiar, which was the Watcher at the entrance of Padt Manor.
They were heading to a city called Lloyds, which was built at the bottom of the sea. It was a city of mermaids and mermaids.
Lloyds was located at the edge of the Whalebone Sea, which was close to the Blackberry Waters.
Angor was going to Lloyds to help Eureka with something.
A day ago, Eureka summoned Angor to her stilt house.
"I need you to go to Lloyds and find someone for me. Also, I need you to bring something back."
"I don't have time," Angor replied almost immediately.
"I'm not going to negotiate with you. You don't have a choice." Eureka's tone was flat.
Angor didn't respond. He had just returned to Padt Manor, learned Dream Entry, and met Jon in his dream. He didn't want to leave at all, even though he didn't know where Lloyds was back then.
Eureka sat by the window with her legs crossed and snapped her fingers. In the next moment, the owl Brulee flapped its wings and flew over to them.
"I'll send Brulee with you. It knows where those people are. There are a lot of things this time, so I'll have to put them in your space bracelet. " Eureka glanced at Angor's bracelet curiously. She wanted to know more about the bracelet and how an apprentice managed to get his hands on a mid-tier space storage. But she didn't ask.
"Why don't you go yourself, lady?" Angor asked after a moment of silence.
Eureka only gave him a meaningful smile.
Angor finally realized what a stupid question he asked. Eureka was a wanted criminal. She wouldn't do it herself.
But that didn't mean she could order him around either. That was what Angor thought.
Eureka saw through Angor's "non-violent" attitude. She didn't use violence as Angor wished. She didn't have a lot of bargaining chips in her hand, but she was confident that she could keep him in check.
For example —
"Last time, you asked me to help you maintain Jon's tri-state balance. That's your request, right? I didn't say anything, so according to the Law of Equivalent Exchange, you owe me something in return, "Eureka said.
"You're the one who created the tri-state balance!" Angor retorted angrily.
"Without the Tri-State Balance, Jon would have been dead before you came back. You should thank me for saving your life. "
Eureka's words were harsh, but they weren't without reason. Angor still didn't like it. Saving Jon was in line with Eureka's principles. After all, Jon was a rare specimen to Eureka, and Eureka was using him as a bargaining chip against him. Of course, he wasn't going to let that happen.
Eureka saw that Angor didn't dare to say anything. Instead, she decided to give him a piece of her mind after hitting him with a stick.
"Lloyds is right in the Whalebone Sea. It's not too far away. With your airship's speed, it'll only take you two weeks to get there. If you use the sequence of gravity, it'll only take a few days. It won't take too much time. " Eureka paused. "You're worried about Jon, aren't you? Don't worry, he'll be fine."
He didn't want to listen to Eureka's explanation until Eureka told him something else.
"You've always wanted to save Jon, right? If you have any ideas and need my help, I'll do my best to help you. "
Eureka didn't want Jon to die in the first place. Not only would she be able to get something out of this, but she would also be able to do Angor a favor.
Angor knew this, but he had no choice but to jump into Eureka's trap. No matter what he did to save Jon, the tri-state balance would still be a problem. He could maintain the balance, but he would need Eureka's help if the balance changed.
Besides, Eureka had already made it clear that she was willing to help Jon to a certain extent.
"What's' Lloyds'? What do you want me to do? "
…
The last time Angor passed by the Whalebone Sea, he was heading back to the Old Earth. Now that he was approaching this sea region again, he was heading towards a city that only existed in legends in mortal novels.
Since the weather was getting hotter, the Whalebone Sea was unobstructed. Angor could see several cargo ships in the sky.
However, he didn't really want to talk to them. Instead, he steered the airship toward Lloyds' direction. The passengers on the cargo ships saw the airship in the sky. Not long after, stories about the beautiful moon ships on the Whalebone Sea spread like wildfire. Of course, this was a story to be told later.
Angor was currently thinking about something in his mind.
Jon's dream allowed him to learn a lot of things that Jon didn't tell him before. He also learned that Jon's attitude toward the wizarding world and Earth had never changed.
Jon missed his home, his wife, and his daughter, but he didn't hate the wizarding world, even if the world's consciousness was trying to harm him.
Angor wasn't the only reason he didn't hate the wizarding world. Also, as a scientist, Jon was always curious about the unknown world.
In his dream, Angor felt regret, sadness, parting, and nostalgia. But he didn't feel any regret.
Jon didn't regret coming to the wizarding world, but Angor still hoped that he could take him back to Earth one day. Even if they were separated by the universe, if Jon could come here, there was still a chance for him to go back.
Angor set a new goal in his future. Not only did he want to find the path of truth, but he also wanted to explore the secrets of the universe and find Jon's path.
For other people, studying the universe and dimensions was an unrealistic dream. But for Angor, it wasn't impossible. The Alien Eye was one of the key elements.
However, before becoming a wizard and knowing nothing about space, Angor didn't dare to touch the Alien Eye.
Especially after seeing the "Montauk Project" on Earth. Those scientists were not afraid of death and used all kinds of methods to stimulate the Alien Eye. In the end, not only did they lose the Alien Eye, but they also caused the space to collapse. In the end, there were bound to be heavy casualties. With this in mind, he would be more careful and not blindly trigger the Alien Eye. His goal was to understand and reactivate the Alien Eye in a safe way.
This was going to be a long and arduous study. But once he had a direction, he would eventually find the exit.
Of course, future goals were just empty words. Angor still needed to focus on the present.
For example, how to save Jon?
This was a medium-term goal, and he couldn't come up with a solution yet. He already achieved one of his short-term goals — to enter Jon's dream. Next, he hoped to talk with Jon in his dream, so he planned to learn a new cantrip called Dream Reading while completing his medium-term goal.
However, Angor didn't know how to do it yet. Since he was going to explore the Blackberry Waters, he might as well go to the Land of Revelation and find Freud.
Before Freud's death, his nickname was "Dream Reader". Angor assumed that Freud didn't only know Dream Reading, but he also knew how to use it.
However, the Land of Revelation was still quite far away. Even with the speed of Angor's flying boat, it would still take him half a month to get there. And before that, he still needed to go to Lloyds.
With this in mind, he patted Toby's shoulder. "Turn into a griffin."
Puzzled, Toby transformed into a huge griffin. That terrifying appearance of fire scared the owl, Brulee, so much so that it shivered.
Angor hopped onto Toby's back, put away Gondola, and asked Brulee to join him.
"We need to get going."
In order not to be shaken off, Brulee still hopped onto Toby's back and grabbed Toby's mane.
In the next second, Toby vanished into thin air, surrounded by a gray aura.
From time to time, Toby would transform into a griffin and carry Angor to Lloyds. When he ran out of energy, he would switch to Gondola. Occasionally, Angor would eject his soul to travel a certain distance.
The two-week journey only took them two days to arrive at their destination, the Shina Trench.
If Toby's transformation could last longer, and if they had more power of gravity, it would only take them less than half a day to reach the Shina Trench. The reason why Angor remained calm in front of Eureka was that he could use the sequence of gravity to escape if Eureka couldn't use her aura to suppress him.
