However, Cubic probably didn’t expect that Kamil did notice it, but the result of this attention was to want to send Cubic away.
Besides this conclusion, Angel also discovered a situation—
"Cubic." Angel called softly.
Cubic was gazing towards the direction of Wind Island, and only turned around after hearing Angel’s voice, "Mr. Pat, are you calling me?"
"Yes." Angel nodded and asked, "Before you got on the ship, what did Sage Kamil tell you?"
"Tell me what?" Cubic didn’t quite understand at first.
Dangross shrugged, "You don’t get it? He’s asking you why you boarded the ship."
Dangross’s tone was slightly sharp. During their time on Wind Island, it got along harmoniously with Cubic, but after boarding, it noticed Toby’s special attention towards Cubic, which gradually made Dangross look unfavorably upon Cubic, even affecting its way of speaking.
Perhaps because Sage Kamil was mentioned, Cubic’s eyes brightened slightly: "The great sage told me, the wind needs to pursue freedom and yearn for distant places. To mature quickly, it’s best to step out of our comfort zone like our predecessors and see the outside world."
"Unfortunately, my strength is still weak, and the great sage didn’t dare let me leave the confines of White Cloud Village. But this time, the great sage said I can take advantage of Mr. Angel’s protection to explore outside which will be beneficial for my growth, so I came."
Cubic explained the cause and effect, and after Angel listened, a look of ’as expected’ flashed in his eyes.
When profiling Cubic psychologically, Angel realized that Cubic didn’t seem to have a ’pushed to leave’ awareness, nor did it show an active desire to become an elemental partner, leading Angel to suspect that Sage Kamil hadn’t told Cubic the truth.
Under this premise, perhaps Cubic was tricked into boarding the ship.
After questioning, it turned out to be true.
Angel looked at Cubic with some pity. One yearned for love and presence, while the other wished to send Cubic off as quickly as possible, even using deception if necessary... It was just too sad.
Perhaps out of sympathy, Angel didn’t reveal the truth to Cubic. When they returned to Wind Island, it would be better for Sage Kamil to tell Cubic himself.
As for making Cubic an elemental partner, Angel put that idea aside for now. Despite Cubic’s personality aligning with Angel’s likes, in Angel’s personal view, if there’s a thorn in the matter of elemental partnership, it may eventually lead to broken ties. Therefore, unless Cubic was willing to become an elemental partner, Angel wasn’t considering it. Moreover, even if Cubic agreed, it might not necessarily be suitable for Angel.
"Mr. Pat, why do you keep staring at Cubic?" Dangross suddenly asked.
Dangross actually wanted to ask Toby, but knowing Toby wouldn’t respond, it "settled for the second best" by asking Angel. Perhaps Angel’s answer could also be Toby’s answer?
Dangross’s self-interested question coincided with Cubic’s curiosity. Although it appeared calm, its two chubby fluttering ears slowly became still from their previous natural rhythm.
Angel had no intention of revealing his thoughts, so he casually said, "Cubic reminded me of Sage Kamil, and thinking of Sage Kamil reminded me of the Sage Cuproplatinum from Baya Desert."
"Huh?"
Angel smiled and explained, "Have you forgotten? Before we left Baya Desert, Sage Cuproplatinum entrusted us with something, hoping that when I meet Sage Kamil, I could inquire about that rumor."
"That rumor?" Dangross paused for a second, then quickly realized, "Oh, I remember, it’s about Sage Kamil’s true body?"
Sage Kamil’s true body was extremely mysterious, widely rumored outside, with some even saying Sage Kamil was an avatar of Gentle Wind Uranus. But no one knew the actual truth, not even many wind elemental creatures in White Cloud Village had seen Sage Kamil’s true body.
It was for this reason that Sage Cuproplatinum entrusted Angel, should he meet Sage Kamil, to verify whether the rumor was true.
"That’s right." Angel nodded with a smile, deftly shifting the topic elsewhere.
Dangross: "It’s a pity that Sage Kamil always maintains a concealed form, making it impossible to confirm the rumor for Sage Cuproplatinum..."
Dangross’s voice was slightly disappointed. As it bowed its head, it unintentionally glanced at Cubic beside it, and its eyes suddenly lit up.
"By the way, Cubic was adopted by Sage Kamil from birth, so you must have seen Sage Kamil’s true body, right?" Dangross gradually shifted the topic focus to Cubic.
Cubic remained silent.
"Not directly denying it means you definitely know." Dangross leaped up and approached Cubic: "Tell us, what exactly is Sage Kamil’s true body?"
Seeing Cubic silent for a long time, Dangross added: "This isn’t some strategic secret, revealing it wouldn’t impact anything significant. And it’s not just me who wants to know, Mr. Pat and Sage Cuproplatinum are also curious. Aren’t you willing to satisfy the curiosity of the adults?"
Dangross naturally knew it was quite inappropriate to make such a request, but since the subject was Cubic, it felt quite pleased to make it awkward.
Faced with Dangross’s approach, Cubic remained silent for a while before finally speaking.
In its heart, it didn’t want to tell Dangross, but Dangross using Angel and Sage Cuproplatinum’s names just happened to hit a certain spot for Cubic.
It wasn’t about regard for Angel or Cuproplatinum, but rather, this became a legitimate excuse.
Just as Angel suspected earlier, Cubic’s mischief in front of Kamil was simply to catch Kamil’s attention and highlight its presence.
If it were to reveal Kamil’s true form, might that draw Kamil’s attention to it? Even if it were angry attention.
In this complex and subtle mentality, Cubic slowly spoke the truth: "Sage Kamil’s true body is actually..."
