Chapter 591 - Doctor Anglo
It was a young lady whose body was covered under a water curtain that had starry reflections of light on it.
Angor couldn’t see her face across the water barrier, but he noticed the lady’s extremely well-shaped body and long, blue hair.
Also, the lady was gazing at him across the water. Angor didn’t know who that was, but he did not sense hostility from her.
The lady noticed Angor looking at her and moved to talk to another wizard as if nothing happened.
Apart from these, Angor also noticed a small stream of energy coming off her body, which went into somewhere unknown. He didn’t intend to inspect the witch for any longer as this might be considered offensive.
He looked outside the window again, sending his thoughts wild.
…
“The unstable space is probably caused by a plane passageway. Of course, it could be a Mystery item that possesses space-related properties.”
Without minding their opinions, Sunders moved away and used Spirit Bond to tell Angor what he heard.
Angor took a moment to understand the situation.
“Are you going inside, sir?”
“Let’s wait for now. Anglo is still working on a conclusion. We’ll wait for his ‘plucking’.”
Anglo? Plucking?
As Angor wondered what those things meant, Sunders offered to explain.
“Plucker of Strings” Anglo was the prophet invited by Douglas. “Plucking” referred to a special art that Anglo used for fortune telling. By using this move, he could judge unknown outcomes in the future by fiddling with the strings of this world.
Angor noticed that Sunders did not mention Anglo’s organization for some reason.
“Um…” Angor looked at Toby, who was anxiously looking at the darkness outside. “What are we here for, professor? Do we kill the said monsters or are we helping Lady Greya?”
Angor followed Sunders here just to save Greya for the sake of Toby, but he realized now that the condition was more severe than expected.
He had no idea what to expect if they were to go inside the outer city. It seemed to be a very difficult job to look for Greya while his own life might be in trouble at any moment.
Angor didn’t believe that Sunders came here just to get Greya out. There had to be something else.
“I initially planned to acquire that harp and rescue Greya while at it. However…” Sunders cast a grim glimpse at the darkness in the distance. “Things might have changed.”
Angor did not ask what had changed exactly since Sunders probably wouldn’t tell him.
Ever since Greya’s visit back at Floating Mech City, Angor thought that Greya and Sunders established some kind of agreement that required Sunders to keep her alive. He was glad that he wouldn’t be disappointing Toby this time.
Angor looked at the window again. Now that he was INSIDE a turmoil that troubled so many mighty wizards, the feeling of being helpless burdened his mind more than ever.
He somehow understood why wizards considered apprentices as insignificant insects or even expendable test subjects.
Because in this world, even wizards might have trouble keeping themselves alive.
