“The Abyss War?” Nausicaa and Reynaud looked at each other in confusion.
Nausicaa was aware that the Frostmoon Alliance had plans involving the Abyss, but she was not privy to the details. And Reynaud, having been adrift at sea for the better part of a year, naturally was out of touch with recent events.
“I can’t be bothered to explain to you, it has nothing to do with the Supernova competition. If you want to buy the issue on the competition, come back next week.” Saying this, the girl tried to push Reynaud out of the way, wanting to buy the issue as soon as possible.
Reynaud indeed went with her push, leaving the queue.
The Abyss War sounded like an event several levels beyond their concern, something to pay attention to later, but for now… it didn’t seem necessary to think too much about it.
Nausicaa, hearing that “Glowing City Night Talk” wasn’t covering the Supernova competition, was about to leave as well. However, just then, a few people who had bought the magazine came out of the store.
They were holding the newly purchased “Glowing City Night Talk,” and Nausicaa caught a glimpse of the magazine’s cover by accident.
The cover featured a portrait.
When she saw the portrait’s face clearly, Nausicaa’s expression, hidden beneath her cloak, changed dramatically.
“Is that… Angel? How is that possible?” Nausicaa murmured to herself in disbelief.
To confirm, she looked repeatedly at the magazines in their hands, and the Transcendents, thinking Nausicaa might try to snatch them, quickly put the magazines away and left.
“Could I have seen it wrong?” Nausicaa frowned.
“Did you just mention Lord Pat?” the girl who had earlier scorned Reynaud suddenly asked Nausicaa.
“Lord Pat?” Nausicaa: “Are you referring to Angel Pat?”
She nodded, her eyes shining with a sequence of adoration, “Yes, that’s him. He is the goal I aspire to chase in the future!”
Nausicaa: ???
“Not only is he handsome, but he also handles things very steadily. Even when faced with great beings, he remains unflustered! Most importantly, he is an Alchemist who has once come into contact with a mysterious level!”
Nausicaa knew that after the Purification Garden event, Angel was forced to become Jiebo’s “arch-enemy,” and had his moment of fame.
But she hadn’t expected to meet an admirer here.
“He is indeed very impressive,” Nausicaa nodded along with her words, genuinely agreeing.
Nausicaa wanted to inquire about the cover of the magazine, but to her surprise, the girl who called herself “Luana” couldn’t stop talking as soon as she started on the subject of Angel, revealing all the information she knew.
“…The theme of this magazine issue is the great deed that Lord Pat did in the Abyss, which had a far-reaching impact. ‘Glowing City Night Talk’ made a special addition just for that!”
Although Nausicaa still didn’t know exactly what Angel had done, her face already showed a look of shock.
Lord Monty had plotted for so many years, and Angel had interfered? Not only that, but he also made it onto the cover of “Glowing City Night Talk”!
Nausicaa was somewhat unsettled. She thought that after successfully fusing her Bloodline, she might get closer to Angel. Instead, it seemed even further away.
Nausicaa was at a loss for words.
That’s when Reynaud stepped forward and asked, “Are you still planning on buying this issue of the magazine?”
Without hesitation, Nausicaa nodded, “Yes, of course.”
She was eager to see exactly what earth-shattering thing Angel had done.
