“Oohohoho, sweetie, let me see where the boy is!” The woman’s voice was sharp enough to pierce the night sky, but strangely, she did not wake anyone.
Something flapped its wings in the sky and landed on the woman’s shoulder.
The gentle moonlight revealed the figures of “Warrior Barbie” Greya and his beloved pet, Toby.
Greya’s spiritual power instantly covered the entire ship. As the tentacles of her power crawled into every corner, Greya could clearly see the inside.
“Tsk. It was just a small mirage, and so many people got hurt. Looks like these talents are terrible. When I get back to Candy House, I should tell them to recruit talents by deathmatches after all.”
Greya’s spiritual power searched the ship freely. It easily alerted the three formal wizards on the ship.
However, they all caught a trace of information Greya intentionally placed in her spirit ripples. When they understood her intention, they decided not to bother her.
“Looking for Angor in the middle of the night? What in the world does she want…” Heroline shook her head. She felt regretful whenever she thought about Angor. It was a good thing that Sunders did not explain Angor’s talent, or Heroline would feel worse.
“Ohhohoho! There you are!”
When the spiritual power scanned through Aleen’s room, Mara immediately felt intimidated by the great force. Before he could realize what happened, Greya’s figure materialized in front of him.
Her fat body made the already narrow room even more congested.
“La—La—Lady Greya?!”
Greya ignored Mara’s panic. She looked at Angor who was standing in another direction. The boy was also thinking about why Greya came, but before she said anything, Toby the seabird flapped its grayish-white wings, left Greya’s shoulder, and perched on Angor’s blond hair.
Angor was speechless for a while. Why did Toby like his hair so much?
“Lady Greya. Did you need something?”
Greya looked at Angor in the eyes. “A small matter, yes. I wish you can help.”
Angor quickly made it clear that he would help as best as he could.
“Back in the restaurant, you said you received the golden card from Toby by providing a tea called ‘Morning Dew’, right?”
“Yes. It’s a tea my former teacher planted,” Angor said.
“Good. I came for the tea. As a gourmet wizard, I’m interested in everything in the world that goes into your stomach. Can I exchange some Morning Dew from you?”
“Of course!” Angor agreed and prepared to return to his room for his remaining Morning Dew.
However, when he saw Mara with the corner of his eye, he changed his mind.
“When leaving my home, I gave most Morning Dew to Mister Mara. Lady Greya, you can do the exchange with him, if you would.”
Mara raised his head with a start. He looked at Angor with gratitude. His discontent towards the boy disappeared just a moment ago, but now, all possible negative feelings were no more. At least Angor was friendly to him. Upon returning to the academy, Heroline might desolate or even punish Mara. On the other hand, Angor was Sunders’ student now. The boy had a bright future. If Mara could maintain a good relationship with Angor… looked like he earned something for himself today after all.
Hate him? No. In the wizarding world where survival was for the fittest, the hatred of a petty ant would only bring the insect endless agony.
Greya raised an eyebrow and gave Angor a thoughtful look. Then she smiled and began discussing the matter with Mara.
Of course, Mara was willing to offer his Morning Dew to Greya. He bustled through his belongings and gave all the tea leaves to Greya. He was planning to make a fortune out of Morning Dew upon returning to Fey Continent. Now Greya needed the tea, he might as well give her all he had.
When talking about payment, Mara gave Greya a firm answer “Free!”. This way, a wizard would owe him a favor!
However, Greya did not give him the opportunity. When taking the Morning Dew, she handed Mara a small bag of magic crystals.
When she was done, Greya turned to Angor again.
“Apart from Morning Dew, I have another favor to ask of you.”
