Chapter 763 – Travel
Upon closer look, Emery found that the ship was medium size, with a crew of twelve people, including three magus individuals and one grand magus, Duke Syre.
He took the opportunity to show his gratitude to Duke Syre for what the latter had done for him while he was on Kulturmak. Moreover, this time he also received another help from the man, as he had saved him from being stranded on a no-name planet.
Duke Syre chose to give Emery a weird look and a slight smile, but he didn't say a word. Instead, the duke simply told him to rest in one of the rooms on the ship for the time being.
There did not appear to be many rooms aboard this ship, since there were probably only half a dozen of them, but Emery was allowed to use one of them.
It was a 5-by-5 room with 2 beds. The room appeared to be clean and comfortable. In addition, there was a small window right between the two beds that allowed him to see the desolate space out there.
Emery's initial thought was that the duke providing him with a room to rest was purely an act of good hospitality, but after a few hours of rest, when he was about to get out to see the others he realized the room had actually been locked, presumably the moment he entered it.
Emery did not mind if he needed to be confined when the situation really demanded it, but he could not help but be worried about what they were planning to do with him.
Not only was he locked up against his will, Emery also did not get any explanation from either the duke or from Silva. At this point, he didn't know anything about the situation.
Finally, for the simple reason he was a guest of someone who had saved his life, Emery decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and just patiently wait as that was all he could do at this moment.
Later on, the door of his room was opened. Emery instinctively stood up and saw that it was Magus Heorgar, who came into the room.
At first, he assumed the magus came because he would have an explanation for him, but it soon became clear p the man was in the same position as him, as the door was quickly being closed and the sound of it being locked again was heard.
What surprised Emery was the fact Magus Heorgar didn't seem to be fazed by this treatment, as he could see the latter just casually walked to one of the beds that had been prepared and plopped himself down to relax. Apparently, the man intended to take advantage of this occasion to give himself some rest while he was at it.
In contrast, Emery felt this situation was quite unsettling, he certainly could not stand the suspense of not knowing what was going to happen, so he inquired to the only person he could speak with at the moment.
"Senior Heorgar," said Emery carefully. "By any chance, do you have any idea what they are planning to do with us?"
Even though Emery had been around Magus Heorgar for almost 3 months, the two never really talked, as they were mostly together when they were in a fight and when the latter was in a coma.
Still, in his relaxed position, the magus spoke,
"We are going to Oroboros planet." Noticing the concerned look on Emery's face, the man continued his words, "Don't worry, Duke Syre is a good man. I am sure he has a good reason for this… Everything will be explained when we get there."
"I see, thank you senior."
Due to the confident tone of Magus Heorgar's words, it was reasonable to assume the demon wolf had some sort of relationship with the Ouroboros, or at the very least with the duke.
When Emery approached the other bed, however, Magus Heorgar suddenly raised his body from the bed and now appeared to be looking at him in a more serious manner than before.
"As you are a white fang member and you did help me in my recovery, I will properly explain."
Hearing such words, Emery immediately turned around and perked his ears to capture everything the magus was about to say.
In his explanation, Magus Heorgar first stated that he had a good relationship with the Ouroboros for quite some time, and that the Ouroboros had recently been helping him breakthrough to his rank 7 demon wolf.
Thanks to that past relationship, he was also the one who convinced Chief Beowulf to go along with the coordinated plan on Kulturmak with the clan. Despite the fact he might not look anxious at the moment, he was actually very nervous. He could not help but be concerned about how many white fangs were still alive because of him.
Emery was taken aback when he heard this information. He was about to ask more, only to see Magus Heorgar had laid down on the bed once again and closed his eyes. From this, it was clear the man had no intention of explaining further.
Thus, Emery was left pondering about what he had just heard.
It was a five-day trip, so it gave Emery plenty of time to get to know the demon wolf magus better along the way. Apparently, both of them would be able to get along quickly with one another.
Emery took advantage of this chance to discuss the legend of the god wolf Fenrir with the magus.
"Fenrir is one of the primordial rank 8 wolves, as for the two sons legend must be a certain local folktale."
That was the initial assumption of Magus Heorgar, however, the peak magus went out of his way to check Emery's bloodline and found many similarities between his Demon Wolf gene and his Night Wolf gene.
"I might speak too soon, but I am sure the Ouroboros can help your genes as they did mine. I see you are also very close to the Ouroboros princess."
"Princess…?" Emery appeared to be perplexed by the magus' statement, which surprised the letter a bit.
"Yes, Silva Ouroboros, the Kemoyin silver serpent heiress,"
Emery had heard Silva had quite a huge background and came from a prestigious family, but he had no idea how extensive her past had been until now. Hearing it came out from such a figure gives him the impression that it must be a big thing.
As time went on, the ship came closer and closer to finally approaching a green planet.
"It seems we have reached our destination," said Magus Heorgar, as he cast his gaze to the only window in the room.
The ship was shaking as it descended. Afterward, Emery could see a wonderful green planet full of trees and swamps, but in a strange way, it did not appear to be a wilderness at all. It was unusually beautiful.
It was even more surprising to see a modern city standing in the middle of it. Who would have thought that there was a contemporary metropolis out in the heart of the wilderness?
When they finally made it to the landing strip, the door was opened and one of the magus walked in,
"We are going out. First, eat this"
The magus asked him to swallow pitch black pills. It was certainly a suspicious pill and every fiber of his body told him not to consume it, but upon seeing that Magus Heorgar took it without hesitation, Emery followed suit.
After swallowing the pills, however, suddenly he felt his body was weakened and a notification came to mind.
