"Cubic, can you talk about the situation when you were born?" At this moment, Lobal’s tail suddenly asked Cubic.
Angel glanced at the tail, showing that he and the tail thought the same.
Cubic did not conceal it and roughly retold the situation of his birth.
After hearing it, Angel became more convinced of the avatar speculation.
Because Cubic’s birthplace was right next to Kamil. There were already enough coincidences before, and now there’s another one: A flying pig identical to Kamil was born right next to Kamil.
So many coincidences clearly indicate some issues.
Cubic’s original words were: "Sir Kamil saw I was born by its side, and looked surprised. Discovering I looked similar to it, plus the fateful birth by its side, Sir Kamil said it was destiny and thus adopted me."
This is Cubic’s perspective, but to Angel, Kamil’s surprise upon seeing Cubic was not because Cubic was born by its side but because the avatar surprisingly developed independent consciousness?
This way, many things make sense.
However, just this does not solve another issue: Why did Kamil conceal its true body?
Angel thought about it and felt that this matter might need to be looked at separately.
Cubic’s birth was something that appeared much later. Kamil had begun to conceal its true body much earlier, reportedly refusing to let others see its true body since its birth.
Thus, Cubic and Kamil’s concealment of the true body are two different things.
Now knowing Kamil’s true body is also a cute flying pig... Angel seemed to understand why Kamil wanted to hide it.
Perhaps it’s some kind of pride or self-esteem?
After all, a flying pig is one thing, but being so cute perhaps made the young Kamil feel some subtle emotions, so it concealed its true body?
By now, Angel felt he had pieced together what he believed to be the truth.
As for whether it was the case or not, Angel wasn’t too concerned since he inquired about Kamil’s true body just to change the subject. Knowing or not knowing made no significant difference.
If he truly wanted to confirm whether the gossip secrets were true, he could ask the real Kamil in the future. By then, using his proposed conclusion as a reason might even open up Kamil’s talk.
After finishing gossiping about Kamil’s secrets, even though there was almost no useful information for him, it made Angel more determined not to consider taking Cubic as a elemental partner. After all, the "avatar" theory he deduced still had some unsolvable inconsistencies. Unless Kamil clarified those oddities, Angel wouldn’t even let other Wizards take Cubic as an elemental partner.
...
The gondola continued to fly, moving forward along the Gentle Wave Sea.
Even with Speedy as propulsion, reaching Malaya Ice Mountain quickly would still take some time.
The ocean’s scenery was beautiful, but endlessly viewing the same landscape would also become tiresome.
When Angel was feeling utterly bored, there was a stir from the bracelet.
With a wave of Angel’s hand, a miniature church built with bones and painted with golden patterns appeared on the table.
During this period, Dangross had often seen this scene, so it wasn’t surprised; however, Lobal and Cubic looked over with eyes full of doubt, not knowing where Angel conjured this strange building from.
Angel didn’t explain because he knew, with Dangross’s personality, as long as Angel didn’t forbid it, Dangross would surely explain it to them later. Even if they didn’t ask, Dangross would take the initiative to speak, because the thin sense of superiority from "I know, but you don’t" was enough to let it boast for an entire afternoon during a dull journey.
After Angel took out the Dead’s Church and stroked it, a humanoid phantom shadow wearing a bull horn helmet poked its head out from the church.
Before Tullas could speak, Angel directly said, "No word from Nis again?"
"Yes." After Tullas said this, with Angel’s consent, it returned on foot to the much-missed Wilderness of Dreams without delay.
Angel sighed, put the Dead’s Church back into the bracelet, and then took out the Dream Conch along with a slab of stone...
Using the Dream Conch, he sent the location on the stone slab to Nis.
After finishing all this, Angel could already hear Dangross explaining to Cubic what space is and what spatial artifacts are.
While explaining, Dangross occasionally glanced at Angel, using eye contact to confirm if it made any mistakes.
Angel was too lazy to respond, yawned, and said to Toby, "I’ll be going in for a while; call me if anything happens."
Having said this, Angel leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and his consciousness stepped onto the Bridge of Dreams.
The outside world was somewhat dull, so Angel planned to take a stroll in the Wilderness of Dreams.
His location remained the same as always: the top of the Sky Tower.
He planned to first check on Frode’s side; whether it was the ceremony in the Silver Hue Principality or the peculiar altar within the mountain belly, both piqued Angel’s interest. He wondered if there had been any progress in those few days he hadn’t visited.
Angel pushed open a door from the balcony and entered Frode’s office.
Before entering the Wilderness of Dreams, he sensed Frode was already in the office. What he didn’t expect was that besides Frode, there was another person in the office.
