Chapter 600 - Following Clues
Wallace’s student?
Wallace was an influential level-2 wizard in Brute Cavern just like Sunders. But as Wallace was more of an “academicism” wizard, many of his ideas and standards were different or even against Sunders’ style.
Angor looked at the mentioned students.
They moved their heads to look at Angor but without turning their bodies.
“Praaaise the queen, praaaise Shava, praaaise Yorkshire!”
Upon finishing their song, they bowed to Angor politely and bounced away as if they were being dragged by invisible strings.
This wasn’t a strange sight to Angor as he had encountered such clownish behaviors for more than once now.
Sunders waited for the clowns to go away before he moved toward another direction.
Angor watched Toby with a hopeful look. “Can you follow the smell?”
“Tweet!”—I’m not a dog!
Angor let out a silly chuckle.
This had left him with only one choice, which was to follow the blood trail with his eyes.
However, this wasn’t so easy when there were bloodstains everywhere—in the middle of streets, on top of buildings, hidden among grass and flowers… Angor couldn’t find a definite direction to go after.
While searching, a broken wall drew his attention. Precisely speaking, it was the swirling marks left on the wall that attracted him.
There might be many people in this world who could make their attacks spin, but for now, Angor would consider this trace as something left by Nausica’s mechanical arm.
While mentioning the Helix Rune to Mithra, the old alchemist claimed that he never heard of such a rune before, which meant one would be hard-pressed to find similar things around the southern wizarding regions.
And this probably meant Nausica was here fighting Hookdick.
He also saw large footprints, which definitely did not belong to humans.
Gank and Shan.
It seemed that Nausica’s team left Brute Cavern three months ago in pursuit of Hookdick and ended up in this unexpected mess.
Angor shook his head and put all unnecessary concerns aside. If Nausica was here, he had to get her out, one way or another.
With the oil lamp in hand, he entered Brute Cavern’s building.
A brief tour-around suggested that the building was completely abandoned. There were various objects scattered on the floor but nothing that indicated a fight.
He left the building and planned to follow the battle marks outside as much as he could. It soon proved to be impossible because the trail was cut off not far from the building.
Considering how the outer city was full of parasites, it was likely that Nausica’s team was already possessed, in which case Angor had to run around the city while hoping to bump into them by some miraculous coincidence. After all, the clowns tended to wander into every random corner that they could find.
Angor sighed. Since he didn’t have any other choice, he was going to look around as best as he could. Thankfully, his soul form could move swiftly and scan through the outer city fast enough, as long as the ladies did not hide and make his job harder.
