"Are you leaving?"
Even though Parry Mountains’ senses weren’t as sharp as those of wind-element creatures, its root network was spread across the land, so it sensed Angel’s departure from the Lost Forest as soon as it happened.
It just didn’t expect Angel to leave right after emerging from the depths of the Lost Forest.
"Yes, I have some matters to attend to."
"Did the Master agree?"
Angel nodded, "Of course."
Parry Mountains gazed deeply at Angel, "Since the Master has agreed, I naturally won’t stop you."
Angel gave a slight bow, then took out the Gondola, preparing to leave.
As he was about to step onto the Gondola, Parry Mountains suddenly asked, "What are you leaving to do this time?"
Before Angel could answer, Parry Mountains continued, "Never mind, no matter what you’re doing. But I hope you don’t bring disaster to the Green Forest Domain, and don’t trouble Master Nami Midori unnecessarily."
Angel glanced at Parry Mountains.
He was heading out to greet Lord Reine and his Mentor, which, in a way, signified the true beginning of the Tidal World’s transformation. It was of crucial importance not only to the Green Forest Domain but to the entire Tidal World.
Was Parry Mountains’ sudden comment a spiritual sense? Or was it the keen intuition of an Extraordinary Life?
They silently exchanged glances for a few seconds, then Angel smiled softly, "Of course."
"Remember your words," said Parry Mountains, closing its eyes and speaking no more.
Angel nodded slightly, then stepped onto the Gondola. Dangross naturally climbed aboard, finding the most comfortable spot, and exhaled a long breath.
"You..." Angel looked at Dangross.
"Oh, what’s up?" Dangross lowered its head to inspect its body, admiring its own pretty ring finger, long forefinger, and fair skin; it was simply perfect.
"Nothing." Angel had initially wanted Dangross to stay, but after some thought, decided it was okay to bring it along. After all, Lord Reine and the Mentor would eventually meet Dangross too.
Moreover, the Plane Corridor wasn’t something seen every day, also a good opportunity for Dangross to see the world.
Since Angel allowed Dangross to come along, he wouldn’t be biased against Cubic. Cubic, having the potential of a Sage, was even more suited for broader experiences compared to Dangross.
Speedy, as usual, carried the Gondola and accelerated in flight, while Lobal guarded it from the side.
Thus, the Fantastical Flying Boat swiftly left the bounds of the Lost Forest, then soared into the sky, passing over the high mountains of the Green Forest Domain, heading into the distance.
"Where are we going next?" As they left the Green Forest Domain’s range, Dangross curiously asked.
"To an uncharted place with relatively mild spatial energy," Angel was not only answering Dangross’s question but also informing Speedy of the upcoming destination.
After learning the destination, Dangross asked no more questions. Wherever Angel went, it would follow, so it didn’t mind the destination.
Cubic, however, questioned with curiosity, "Why go to an uncharted place?"
Cubic initially thought Angel was planning to take the blue raccoon cat and the Traveling Frog to seek out the corresponding Elemental Territory for healing, but Angel’s answer was unexpected.
Angel blinked, "You’ll find out soon."
Confronted with Angel’s refrain from revealing information, Cubic didn’t press further, lying quietly by the boat’s edge, pondering in confusion.
During the following flight, Cubic remained silent, while Dangross regained the ability to watch "The Blacksmith’s Day," immersing itself in the learning of forging.
Lobal and Speedy were both reticent by nature; without prompt, they said nothing, leaving the Gondola in silent stillness.
Angel contemplated for a moment, waved his hand, and let out the Void Traveler from his bracelet.
The Void Traveler, upon its release, seemed somewhat apprehensive about the drastic environmental changes around it. Angel emanated a soothing emotion towards it, helping it relax gradually.
Angel placed the Void Traveler in his palm, gently stroking it. Initially, it resisted, but such tender contact was an unprecedented experience for it. Soon, it surrendered, becoming as lethargic as a lazy hamster, transforming from a lump to a puddle.
In the energy’s perspective, the Void Traveler resembled soft jelly, with a faint purple hue, like a piece of amethyst. Even when flattened like a pancake, its beauty was mesmerizing.
Seeing the Void Traveler no longer resisting him, Angel quietly said, "We’ll be spending a long time together in the future. Calling you ’hey’ all the time isn’t an option, so why don’t you, like Wang Wang, get a codename for convenience?"
After Angel finished speaking, the air was silent. The pale purple pancake in his palm remained unmoved.
"I almost forgot, you lack the ability to communicate directly," Angel sighed. Not only unable to communicate, but also having limited intelligence, to express anything, it needed to—
Angel reached out with his left forefinger, touching his brow center.
The Void Traveler on his palm, noticing his motion, hesitated momentarily before gathering its pancake form, slowly floating into the air, approaching Angel, finally adhering its entire soft body to Angel’s brow.
An unseen energy tentacle extended into Angel’s brow center.
Ding, Void network connection successful. —This was Angel’s self-constructed mental system prompt.
"Wang Wang, are you there?" Angel initiated the network connection, naturally not to communicate in "dog language" with the Dalmatian, but to contact Wang Wang.
Meanwhile, in the unending darkness of the Void, the flying Wang Wang, upon sensing Angel’s voice in the "network," hesitated for a moment and replied, "Is there something? Are you requesting a call with the Master?"
Angel: "No, I have something I want to ask of you."
Wang Wang: "What is it?"
After Angel explained his idea, Wang Wang responded, "You can call it ’hey’ as well. Unlike humans, we don’t necessarily need names."
"Do you wish for the Void Traveler’s civilization to flourish?" Angel didn’t refute but instead shifted the topic.
Wang Wang didn’t respond.
