Chapter 264
"Did Hikari give you the information on the Snake Lizards?" Angele questioned in a light tone .
"She did . Snake Lizards live in the caves around the cliffs . There will be around 20 of them in an average-sized patrol team . A Snake Lizard is about two meters tall and its intelligence is very high . Although they haven’t developed written language yet, most of them can speak . Well, anyway, they will attack the airships . That’s for sure," Reyline explained .
"We’re just food to them . " Angele shook his head .
The two remained silent for a minute .
"Green, I’m sorry . I think it’s my fault . " Reyline opened his mouth again .
Angele did not reply right away . He sighed and slowly spoke .
"I checked the storages of all three airships . I have the amulet, but it has taken me some time to unlock those rooms with magic stones inside . Do you know what I found? Take a guess . "
Reyline did not respond, as he probably already knew the truth .
Angele sneered . "Three airships! Not one single magic stone can be found in the storage rooms . You are also hiding something from us . All the wizards on the airships are weak . Just spit it out already . "
"You’re right . They want me to die on the trip . It’s a death trap, to be honest . The wizards on the airships were all recommended by the elders of the Six Ring High Tower…except…you . I don’t know anything about you . "
"So even if we can return to Nola, there’ll be assassins waiting for us, right?" Angele went straight to the point .
"That’s possible . "
"What about Omandis then? What if we somehow survived the trip? Will there be people waiting for us too?"
"I don’t know . " Reyline lowered his voice .
Angele recalled the day Ander told him about the information .
Ander should have already known that it was a death trap, but Angele did not understand why the Dark Wizard Tower did not inform him about the situation .
Stigma was an outsider to Nola and he would never be selected under normal circumstances . Reyline was probably the only wizard important to the organization on the airship but he was the target .
"Whatever . We have already survived the Cloud Bee area . We will see how it goes . " Angele calmed down . "Get ready and do what Stigma said . Soak yourself in water and breathe using a straw . The Snake Lizards might just let us go . "
Angele cut off the communication . He walked to the window, then he crouched and hid under the windowsill . He held the amulet tight in his hand and slowly closed his eyes .
Countless blue light dots gathered around Angele’s body, turning into drops of water .
The water drops merged and formed a large water ball .
Silver metal liquid leaked out of Angele’s body, creating a large bathtub . It fitted the dropping water ball perfectly .
Angele moved into the bathtub and lied down . He then created a metal straw and stuck it out of the surface of the water .
The room was silent .
Time was flying .
*Ka-ta Ka-ta*
Angele suddenly heard some strange noise from outside the window .
It sounded like wings that were made of metal .
A purple human-shaped creature flew past the airship .
The creature had the body of a human, head of a snake, and wings of an eagle . There was a metallic glint on its skin .
Angele had hidden himself under the windowsill, so he did not get detected by the creature .
*Ka-ta Ka-ta Ka-ta*
About six or seven Snake Lizards flew past the airship .
Those birdmen with brown skin were checking the airships with their long, slim green eyes . They were holding different types of metal weapons in hand . It seemed like they knew how to craft basic tools .
The three airships were deadly silent . The only noise was made by the envelopes .
Angele hid in the room carefully . He could see the Snake Lizards flying past the window .
They flew around above the airships for about ten minutes then finally left .
Angele followed the plan and stayed in the water for another half an hour with his eyes open .
He stood up quickly and jumped out of the bathtub .
*CHI*
Fire energy particles dried his clothes as white steam rose into the air .
With a flick of his finger, the metal bathtub turned into liquid and returned into his skin .
