Chapter 85 - The King of Blackberry
“Pirate?!” Angor and Sailum both yelled out in surprise. Angor thought Nausica was from the military who commanded soldiers in wars, but the truth was totally the opposite.
She was a pirate!
It took some time for Angor to calm down. As he thought about it, Angor began to believe that this “profession” amazingly suited Nausica’s character.
She had followers, and she was strong. She could both lead wars and take it easy with pipe and wine.
If he did not think about whether piracy was good or bad, Angor quite admired Nausica’s legendary life. Maybe an experienced traveling bard could even create a beautiful story out of this.
When Angor was still indulged in his imaginations, he heard Sailum’s angered voice, “I can’t believe it. So you’re a pirate!”
Angor looked at Sailum and noticed his expression had changed from admiration to disgust.
Angor patted Sailum’s shoulder to comfort the boy.
Nausica preferred to get rid of the atmosphere too, so she turned to Angor and changed the topic by asking, “Now that you heard about both of us, how about telling us something about yourself?”
Nausica looked at Angor straight into the eyes. Sailum also calmed down and showed curiosity. They were itchy to know about Angor. Why didn’t he join the deathmatches? Why was the Phantom Servant being so polite to him? Even the wizard on the cloud whale acted friendly.
Angor knew what they wanted to ask, but he did not even know why Sunders treated him so well himself, so he could only give them a simple explanation about his life.
“I was born into a noble family. I have an elder brother so I didn’t inherit the title, but my life was good. My brother is really nice to me. I have a teacher who knows a lot and taught me many things. But he grew ill. We tried everything we could to treat him… Later, I met an Apprentice Wizard by chance. To save my teacher, I came here, to the Fey Continent.”
