Chapter 490 - Old Friend

“Mister Angor, is it? I see you truly deserve your position as Mister Sunders’ disciple. Keely was right, you saved all of us.”
Angor looked back and saw a young man, who was beside the giant rhino creature, spoke to him.
Usually, he wouldn’t respond to a total stranger in such a situation. However, when he noticed that Alan was also with them, he chose to address the speaker with a smile.
“It’s only a coincidence. Besides, I probably would die there if Mister Lawson didn’t come.”
“Nevertheless, you helped greatly,” the young man said politely. “I’m Hermes, from Moxa Westland.”
Loki, the naughty kid who had been poking the rhino’s horn, chipped in, “I’m Loki, from Moxa Westland too!”
“… That’s my junior. We study from the same teacher,” Hermes explained with a frustrated look.
Keely didn’t answer. She just realized that Angor was far from being the coward and burden she assumed. Rather, judging from what he had shown until now, Angor was very likely to become a survivor in the end.
Still, she did not want to fail her professor’s order, so she chose to stay with the others as well.
In fact, the others were also wondering why Angor chose to stay. Hermes thought about continuing with his teammates only, but he found no reason to reject Angor’s decision. As for Sinehowze and Carveline… These two women had been acting shamelessly. Hermes wouldn’t want to waste his strength by forcing them to go away.
Also, Hermes got a strange feeling that both Angor and Sinehowze knew how to find the exit because they seemed so relaxed.
With different plans in mind, they all moved to one randomly-chosen direction. Nobody knew why they did so but no one provided another suggestion.
Sinehowze was giving Angor’s vehicle a lot of attention because she loved the design of it. But for some reason, she never moved to talk with Angor.
Angor, on the other hand, had been observing the man called Hermes.
Hermes had been using his flying spell all along, which probably cost a lot of mana, so Angor asked the man to join him on the boat.
When Hermes asked if he could bring Tana along, Tana gave Angor a friendly smile.
Angor felt a little dazed upon seeing Tana’s bikini-style getup, but since Hermes was obviously her partner, and the man had been taking care of their safety, Angor chose to agree.
Hermes and Tana took their rest on Gondola while the white rhino floated alongside.
While traveling, Angor secretly took a peek at Alan, who had been sleeping on the rhino’s back. Alan did not possess much strength, which made him the same level as Sailum. Angor couldn’t understand why Alan would come here at all.
Jon once told him about “the three merriest things in one life”, and one of which was to “meet an old friend in a distant land”.
Alan wasn’t really his best friend, but they did spend half a year together after leaving Old Earth. As someone who called the same place home, Angor would gladly regard Alan as a partner.
He noticed that Alan was unconscious but without any serious injuries. Alan was only knocked out by the great pressure unleashed by the Lord of Tentacles. Some rest would be good for him.
“By the way, Alan mentioned your name a lot…” Tana suddenly told Angor.
