Chapter 797 - Rising Anxiety
Like everyone else who traveled on Gondola for the first time, Tulu was extremely astonished to see the masterful vehicle that sailed across the sky. While admiring the starry decorations and the trail of bubbles left behind, he couldn’t help but exclaim in awe, which helped him forget about his injury.
This lasted for a while until he got slightly used to it. He finally had time to talk to Angor.
“Are we going to Fey Continent right now, Mister Padt?”
Angor was leaning against the railing while pretending to be resting. He replied without opening his eyes, “Not yet. I’m recruiting more talents elsewhere. Our next stop is the Land of Revelation.”

Sunders smiled but didn’t reply.
As Angor’s teacher, he fully knew that, despite that innocent look, the little devil was no less a troublemaker compared to Flora and Sumesh. The boy even thought about destroying the world once.
