c73: Bogula

He kept watch on the island for over a month and recorded everything he needed including soil conditions, water, wind, humidity. In the end, he decided to begin transplanting the grass. However, his first attempt to dig at the plant’s root caused a disaster in the atmosphere, which stunned him for a while. When he came to, he saw another world in front of him – A world full of green, lush vegetation.

He was looking at a grassland. Shiny Glowing Velvet in the shape of dandelion fluffs covered the entire earth.

He only caught a brief glimpse before the view vanished from his sight. Then, thunderclouds gathered, lightning bolts rained down, and space ruptures appeared…

When he finished talking, it was clear for everyone that the world full of green plants was the plane being fused into the wizarding world.

A grassland covered by Glowing Velvet… People took their wild guesses.

Glowing Velvet was a low-level magic plant. There were stable supply sources. Many wizard organizations resold them across planes for profit. It did not hold much value.

However… An entire grassland covered in Glowing Velvet was something else! Considering the common price in the wizarding world, one Glowing Velvet plant cost 5 magic crystals. A full field of Glowing Velvet would cost a fortune.

Not to mention what Boko saw was only a tiny part of the world. The plane might be a big or small one, but even a small plane could be at least millions of square-kilometers large.

A small sight contained big money… what about the remaining areas? Were there better materials?

People’s imaginations went wild. Getting the Glowing Velvet alone was still a decent income!

Boko completed his explanation and prepared to step back into Gravity Forest’s group.

The Glowing Velvet field attracted all attention, so fewer people were thinking about Fragment of Eternity or Boko himself now. In other words, whether the “first witness” was holding the fragments were no longer the center of the attention.

Just as Boko was about to return to his people, Bogula called out, “Stop!”

Boko halted with a start. He quickly went through all possible reasons why Bogula called him. First, he thought, “Damn. And I still couldn’t hide my beautiful face”. It then quickly became, “Fine! As long as he doesn’t turn me into a puppet, I’ll do whatever he asks, even if I have to, to…”

Boko’s ideas were completely useless as Bogula did not call him for his “beauty”. In fact, Bogula was not even looking at him.

“Sabot asked you to escort The Redbud?” asked Bogula. Since Boko mentioned Sabot’s name, Bogula was speaking in a gentler tone this time, “Sabot is in Devil’s Water too? Why isn’t he here?”

Bogula might be a weirdo, but someone could still deal with him – His mentor Mithra.

Mithra happened to be the mentor of Sabot as well. The two pupils shared completely different standings and starting points, but they were still schoolfellows.

Boko, who was immersed in his own “beauty ideas”, realized Bogula asked him for a completely different reason. Somehow, Boko felt disappointed.

“Sabot is currently escorting a group of talents to the southern region. He can’t leave The Redbud.” Boko did not know the situation on the ship so he took a guess.

“I see. So you failed to join the escort. Did you apologize to Sabot?”

Boko was stumped. Why would he apologize?! Still, Boko quickly nodded, seeing how Bogula was saying “I’ll kill you if you didn’t do it” on his face.

“You did apologize? Okay then.” Bogula did not ask further. He believed it.

The other wizards from Floating Mech City who had been standing behind Bogula rolled their eyes.

According to rumors, Bogula was an extremely twisted figure. However, he easily trusted people as long as it was not something related to his own profit. He would believe a lie like a kid.

That said, if the situation involved his personal gain, he would immediately act as someone cunning and unreasonable. Devil and angel, wickedness and innocence, combined together, and one would get Bogula.
