Chapter 696 - Moocher Meat
Following Papaya, Lococo also decided to let her parents leave with the Krakok clan. However, she was not doing very well compared to Papaya. Lococo managed to agree to the decision somewhat unwillingly after her parents persuaded her.
“We will be a giant burden on her if we stay here. We’ll travel with the rest. That’s not a problem,” said Lococo’s mother.
Lococo’s father nodded along. While living together, the Moonlily Fairy had told the Krakoks how dangerous this world was. Lococo’s parents would leave just to grant their daughter more freedom, even if this wasn’t Lococo’s wish.
Angor saw Lococo still sobbing and shook his head. This one was still like a babyish child, which… should be the case, considering Lococo’s age. Someone like this definitely could not bear with the great responsibility of liberating their people.
Next, the three Krakoks asked to spend the rest of the day so that they could enjoy homecoming since they probably wouldn’t have any in a long time.
Angor allowed them without a second thought.
He then went away and snapped a branch of the Milkberry Tree and put it inside a flowerpot. He planned to see if he could transplant the amazing tree to Padt Manor so that Jon and the others could enjoy the magical sap produced by it.
With this settled, he found Toby in the flower house and headed to Greya’s hut.
“Maybe a wizard did go there and mess up all the informants, but why would a wizard go to the middle of nowhere?”
Angor suddenly remembered a man with distinctive red hair.
“Thewis… Is it Mister Thewis?”
Greya tilted her head. “Right… I heard Thewis went there several years ago, and nobody has heard from him since. I think he went to capture Eureka, who stole the Crimson Crown. He still hasn’t found Eureka after all this time?”
Crimson Crown? Angor felt something clicking in his mind.
Crimson Crown was a national treasure of the Goman Kingdom. It was said that the Goman King paid Thewis to go after the thief.
But Angor was thinking about another name right now—”Crimson Mask” Irisa.
He saw it from somewhere before that Irisa was Thewis’ sister. So why would Thewis’ sister show up at Floating Mech City and ask him to make a “fake” Crimson Crown?
Something was not right. Definitely.
Could it be that they wanted to have the crown to themselves and return the fake one to the Goman King?
Angor shivered a little at that thought. Sunders warned him that he should not get involved in this matter as it was supposed to be the court war of the Goman Kingdom.
Greya was still pondering over the situation. “It makes sense. Thewis didn’t catch Eureka, so he destroyed information channels to prevent her from contacting the Fey Continent. This is not your concern though. Just remember not to bother Thewis in any way. That man is very famous for his ill-temper.
“As long as you stay out of his sight, he won’t have a reason to harm you. Of course, I don’t think you’ll run into him at all.”
