Chapter 796 - Embarking
Angor suddenly remembered to take what Torras “told” the skull before he died into account. At first, those seemed to be the desperate yearnings of a dying man. But since Lucas’ skull kept flashing beside Torras, the item must have “remembered” Torras’ wishes.
“So… ships often went missing at Gearwheel Grave just because you asked for it to happen?” Angor muttered.
People thought that it was a strange phenomenon typical in that part, but it was Torras who did it!
Torras removed his helmet and scratched the back of his head. “I dunno. Never wanted that for real.”
Angor checked Torras’ young look again carefully. Torras’ black hair was arranged in a pretty wild spiky style, but his immature face kinda ruined it.
“The skull granted everything you asked for. You could teleport at will, and you are now immortal as a soul…” Angor shook his head as he imagined what would happen if people knew that Torras was the culprit that dragged many ships into the “Ship’s Grave”.
They would probably get so angry that they would seek out Torras’ grave and spit on it.
What Torras told Angor today had helped him comprehend the mystery revolving around Lucas. It was all caused by Lucas’ skull, which was a mystery item that suddenly showed up inside Lucas.
By this, Tulu meant to become a supernatural individual to heal his ear. However, the mayor thought that Tulu wanted to get away from this sickening place as fast as possible.
“I see… Be well. And remember that your home is always waiting for you.”
“Thank you, sir.” Tulu nodded. “Look after my grandmother, please.”
“Rest assured. I’ll keep her resting place tidied as much as I can.”
“Let’s go.” Angor finished exchanging courtesy with the old man and walked away while Tulu bade farewell to the villagers, gave Ralph a friendly hug, and followed behind Angor.
Tulu didn’t know what awaited him ahead, but he felt excited to find out.
When Angor and Tulu left toward the sky on Gondola, a young man in a blue robe, who had been reading a cantrip book under the sea, stretched his arms and showed an impatient expression.
“Man… guess I’ll follow them. It’s my job anyway.”
He shook his head and melted into a stream of bubbles that followed the currents.
