Angel did not go into exact details. He did not give out any names or say anything about Jon, Morrow, Sanders or Gloria.

But the story he told sounded deep, and also a bit perfunctory.

Fortunately, Shalem is still a child who does not know much about the world, so he did not recognize anything wrong about what Angel says at all. On the contrary, because Angel’s background is similar to his, it gives birth to a bit of intimacy. And Nausica, as a former leader of the Blackberry Sea domain, must be strong in all different aspects. She recognized Angel’s reluctance to share his information, but did not call him out on it. This is her way of approaching the world.

After communicating, the three of them naturally became a little closer. Talking again about their future, and what they imagine the new world to be like, after a while they went their separate ways.

As he was leaving, Nausica suddenly said to Angel, “I had such a good time talking to you. I almost forgot the reason why I had came here.”

“Why were you here then?” Angel wondered.

“It’s not a big deal. I just want to ask you about last night. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to say.” Nausica said.

“About last night? What happened last night?” Angel replied to the strange question, he remembers he was still on the Cloud Whale last night and nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary or anything… … except for that one thing: “You’re talking about Abney?”

Angel only remembers having a conflict with Abney yesterday, but before they spoke, Abney was driven back to his tent by Nausica.

“It’s not about my unscrupulous crewman. I wanted to ask you why there were so many firefly-like lights circling your tent in the early morning?”

Firefly-like spots of light? Around my tent? Early in the morning? Angel had no idea what Nausica was talking about. He went back to his tent last night and was probably still asleep during the wee hours of the morning.

“Light spots? I don’t know about that. I went to bed early yesterday and slept all the way through until morning. ”

Nausica saw that Angel‘s confused look was not an act. She also became a little confused, was she wrong? No, that’s not right, ah, the reason why she was concerned about this, was that when she got up in the middle of the night to smoke and lit her matchstick, her bright orange fire turned into a strange weaker fire, she did not know what had happened, but she then noticed that there were many tiny spots of light traveling into the tent opposite of hers, Angel’s tent.

While Angel was sleeping, he did not close the curtains of his tent. When Nausica looked in that direction, there were countless spots of light swirling around Angel’s tent. She was surprised and wanted to shout to Angel about it, but fearing that the other party was entering the apprentice threshold or was experimenting with some witchcraft, she did not disturb him, and did not speak out at that time.

Moreover, in the middle of the bright spots of light, she vaguely saw Angel’s figure, seemingly floating in the mid-air, but she did not know if what she saw was actually true or not.

Because she was so curious, Nausica came over to ask about it. If Angel doesn’t want to say, she won’t continue asking.

But Angel’s reply is that he doesn’t know anything?!

Not reaching a conclusion, Nausica was not entangled with it any longer, anyway, the wizard world is full of a lot of strange things, there is no need to understand everything.

Advertis.e.m.e.nts

After Nausica left, Angel returned to his room.

For Nausica’s inquiry, Angel still doesn’t understand… … she saw light spots in his tent? Is this true?

Angel didn’t think Nausica would have any reason to lie about such a thing.

“Countless spots of light? It’s not some kind of surveillance set up by Sanders, is it?” As a walking, talking library that has read thousands of books, Angel is not afraid to speculate on the actions of his cheap Mentor with the worst of malices.

“Coo-coo~” called Toby, who had been placed by Angel in his small wooden bed, woke up.

Toby stretched out, then tidied up some of the crooked clothes with his beak and flew to the table in high spirits, eating the dried fish that was prepared and placed there by Housekeeper Goode.

“You’re so happy eating after a restful sleep.” Angel joked.

Toby tilted his head as he ate, and glanced at him in a very “human” arrogant way, and then turned his head to continue the bitter struggle with his food.

Angel jokingly scolded “little rascal” and thought further about Nausica’s words. Suddenly, Angel looked into the eyes of Toby, who was eating his delicious food.

Angel pulled out the small wooden chair, sat down at the table, tilted his head and put his arm around Toby, who was still eating.

Toby completely ignored his new owner‘s hara.s.sment.

“Little Toby, tell me, did you see anything strange in the early hours of yesterday morning? Like light spots or something.” Angel’s hopeless inquiry was purely to tease the bird.

When Toby heard Angel’s question, he turned his head and called a few times.

Angel and Toby have gotten more familiar with one another over this period of time, although not to the point of being good at “bird language”, but Toby’s calls and intonations are still very clear to Angel.

“Did you really see the light spots?” Angel said in surprise.

Toby nodded as if he were chewing garlic. “Coo-coo.”

“Nausica didn’t lie to me. There were really light spots. But where did these light spots come from? What are their uses? Could it really be Sanders surveillance?” Angel muttered these questions to himself.

Hearing Angel’s mutterings, Toby suddenly flew up and stood directly on Angel’s shoulder.

With a puzzled expression plastered on his face, Toby raised his claws to walk step by step on Angel’s broad shoulders and went to Angel’s exposed clavicle.

In next moment, Toby stretched out his beak and dug for the silver chain on Angel’s collarbone.

Angel took the chain out from under his shirt and presented a pendant, this pendant had a metal mesh structure and was loaded with a transparent gla.s.s bead-the Heavenly Eye!

Toby fluttered his wings, flew next to the Heavenly Eye, pointed to the Heavenly Eye with his beak and returned to the table to finish his meal.

“You mean…? … Was the Heavenly Eye the source of the spot of light?” Angel asked in surprise.

Toby turned arrogantly and looked on while shaking his head. Then “murmured” for a different reply, Angel thought for a long while, hesitated and said: “Was the Heavenly Eye absorbing the Light Spots?”

Toby nodded. “Coo!” That’s right!

“How is that possible?! This is incredible… …” Angel still remembers what Mentor Jon had said: The Heavenly Eye brought him over from earth to this world, after that, there was no more magic, it only incarnated into an extremely common looking gla.s.s bead.

There had to actually be something magical about the Heavenly Eye, Angel does not deny this; otherwise, how would it have brought Jon into this world. However, after so many years, there has been no anomalies from the Heavenly Eye, but why was there a sudden change now?

Anything that remains stable must change for a reason. Like the result of coal, it is impossible to turn into a diamond for no apparent reason, unless there is a impetus for change.

Angel believes there are impetuses for change for the Heavenly Eye.

So what exactly was the trigger? Macroscopically, there is nothing more than the change of time and s.p.a.ce that he knows of, “time” as an inducement is unlikely, after all, the Heavenly Eye has been ordinary for so many years, it can not suddenly change, but he does not rule out other factors. “s.p.a.ce” can not also be an inducement, it is possible though, after all, changes in geographical location, there will be many changes, such as magnetic field, temperature and so on. But Angel believes that this possibility is not too high, and can only remain skeptical to this reasoning.

In addition to the macro, there are micro catalysts, in terms of chemistry, physics, and the mysteriousness surrounding the Wizard Plane alone can be a cause. This is the most likely case, but also the most difficult to measure.

Before speculating however, perhaps he should ask around to get to know if there was anything special about last night.
