Later, after Toby awoke from his slumber, the silence was finally broken.
Dangross was chirping praises, singing all kinds of compliments to Toby. On the other side, after a period of adaptation, Loga also became slightly less tense, leisurely listening to Dangross’s monologue.
After Dangross babbled for over ten minutes, Toby yawned, chirped twice: "Coocoo coo."
Dangross immediately excitedly continued with even more vibrant praises, so much so that Angel felt his ears itch, but Toby accepted it heartily.
However, quickly, Dangross turned from excitement to anxiety and discouragement: "Alas, I can’t understand what Lord Toby is saying... Is it praising me, or does it find me verbose?"
Angel silently stood aside, knowing that if Dangross learned the truth of Toby’s chirps, it would probably be even more disheartened.
"It’s expressing to Mr. Pat, hoping to hear Dangross’s voice again before it sleeps," the long-silent Loga said.
Angel glanced at Loga in surprise. Apart from its misuse of words, its expression of meaning wasn’t wrong at all.
Toby’s previous yawning chirps weren’t responses to Dangross but were telling Angel that Dangross’s voice was so hypnotic that hearing it before going to sleep would be more effective than a lullaby.
Angel had been with Toby for a long time, gradually understanding Toby’s intentions from its nuances and voice frequencies.
Loga was seeing Toby for the first time, and being a stone creature, how could it understand Toby’s language?
Even Toby looked at Loga with an astonished look, as if it had seen a ghost.
Dangross glanced at Angel and then at Toby, then understood in its heart, and Loga’s words were not wrong. Its eyes lit up: "Can you understand what Lord Toby is saying? That’s great! Did it say it wanted to hear my voice before sleeping? Ah, is this a confirmation of me? I’m so thrilled!"
Loga opened its mouth, wanting to explain, but saw Angel sitting behind Dangross gently wave his hand towards it.
The words on Loga’s lips were eventually swallowed back.
Seeing Loga’s courteous demeanor, Angel silently praised inwardly: Aside from occasional word mistakes, it was indeed much more humane than The Charny of Fallen Soil.
"If you don’t mind, can you tell me how you understood Toby’s meaning?" Angel curiously asked.
Loga hesitated for a moment, pointing to the two small pink flowers growing next to its ears: "They told me."
"Oh?"
Through Loga’s explanation, Angel realized that Loga was not purely an earth-type creature; it also had a part of wood attributes, which explained the flowers blooming on it.
Pure stone beings certainly couldn’t awaken abilities similar to "Animal Language".
But the wood element in Loga fused with nature.
And among Nature Witches, there is a spell technique called "Voice of All Things," which can listen to the voices of nature, including the chirps of birds and insects.
The natural power within Loga might have awakened a similar "Voice of All Things" ability, allowing it to easily understand Toby’s sounds. However, compared to the authentic "Voice of All Things," which could hear heart sounds, Loga’s power was evidently weaker, but this might just be because Loga wasn’t completely mature yet.
Once it passed the sprite phase, perhaps Loga could gain the true Voice of All Things, capable of hearing nature’s echoes and even capturing heart sounds.
If this speculation is true, Loga’s future looks promising.
Additionally, given Loga’s primary attribute is earth, its earth abilities must naturally excel.
Thinking in this way, Loga is quite a good target for persuasion. Even if Angel doesn’t have much need for earth creatures, at this moment, he grew a slight desire for Loga.
However, this desire soon dissipated, as Loga’s identity destined it to be difficult to persuade.
Moreover, Angel had much less demand for earth creatures compared to fire ones. It’s better to wait for the current task to end, then return to the Region of Fire to persuade Kelonkcro.
Suppressing his thoughts, Angel affirmed Loga’s abilities. Dangross was even more enthusiastic, dividing some of its energy to focus on Loga, hoping it would help interpret Toby’s intentions, allowing its flattery to more accurately hit Toby’s heart.
Because of this small incident, Loga’s tension gradually faded under Dangross’s fervent onslaught.
In the journey that followed, Loga began to talk more, and its stiff face showed a little more smile.
Time slipped away amidst carefree laughter, and four hours later, the gondola was about to fly out of the central district of the Wild Rock Wilderness.
At that moment, Angel felt deep within his Mind Space, the Ability Tree standing in the darkness of the consciousness void, waving a branch, sending a message to him.
As soon as he received the message, Angel paused for a moment.
He immediately slowed the gondola’s flying speed. Dangross and Loga didn’t notice anything unusual, but Toby immediately sensed it, and with a curious look in its eyes, Angel whispered to it: "I’m going to rest for a while. If anything happens outside, remember to wake me up."
This sentence might sound without error at first, but only Toby understood that what Angel called resting for a while was not actual rest, but preparing to use the Dream Entering Technique, to enter into the Wilderness of Dreams.
Toby nodded: "Coocoo." Alright.
Angel affectionately patted the soft feathers on Toby’s head, then turned to look at Dangross and Loga opposite him: "I was meditating all last night and didn’t sleep well, so now I’m a bit sleepy. I’ll rest for a little."
Dangross and Loga were both in the sprite phase and understood what fatigue was like, so they didn’t think too much about it, nodding and even lowering their voices.
Angel again secretly instructed Earl Mi to stay vigilant, and then he closed his eyes, entering the Bridge of Dreams.
