1626 The Huge Shadow in the Sea At Nigh (2/2)
”Does anyone feel the tables shaking?” Mu Bai, who had been quiet suddenly said.
”Zhao Manyan must be shaking his leg,” Mo Fan immediately commented.
”Bullshit!”
The plates on the table suddenly bounced into the air as they were talking. Their food scattered across the table.
Their glasses were softly knocking into one another, clinking. The tables and chairs were shaking.
”An earthquake?” Mo Fan asked.
”Look out the window!” Leng Qing pointed outside.
The spacious windows made it easy for the people inside to enjoy a beautiful view of the sea at night. It felt like they were hanging right above the water. To their astonishment, a huge shadow had appeared from the darkness!
The waves from the sea could only reach its knees. Every step it took triggered a huge quake, and its head almost touched the clouds. When it headed toward one of the cliffs, it turned out that the cliff only reached its waist. The huge figure easily strode right over it!
”Our honorable guests, please remain calm. It's only a Tyrant Titan. We are very close to the Parthenon Temple's Mountain of the God's Seal, and to the south and west are areas the Tyrant Titans are active in. Our restaurant is located inside the safe zone. The Tyrant Titan is actually quite far away from us. If it comes any closer, the powerful Mages of the Parthenon Temple will drive it away. Please enjoy your meals,” a voice announced through the sound system. It sounded like a cabin crewmember on a plane, reminding the passengers to sit tight and put their seatbelts on when turbulence occurred.
Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan almost dropped their jaws.
Holy crap, to think that they would see a Tyrant Titan while they were having dinner, not to mention how the restaurant was brushing it off so calmly! To their surprise, the people in the restaurant did not panic at all. Some of the kids even ran to the windows to take pictures, like they were looking at an elephant in a zoo!
Weren't Russians normally known for being fearless? Since when were the Greeks so fearless, too?
”It's pretty common for Tyrant Titans to show up in Athens. I bet the people here have already gotten used to it. These Tyrant Titans aren't that hostile to normal civilians. They are mainly after the Mages and the Parthenon Temple, so the Athenians aren't that afraid of them,” Leng Qing explained.
Mo Fan had been told that the Parthenon Temple was constantly fighting the Tyrant Titans. He was quite shocked to witness it in person for the first time.
”It's at least a Silver Moon Tyrant Titan,” he noticed.
”Mm, I noticed it roaming close to the safe zone lately. It would hide in the water when the Mages showed up. The government also claims that this Tyrant Titan isn't aggressive, so the people aren't worried,” Leng Qing said.
The Tyrant Titan's cry sounded like the cry of a whale. The deep cry broadcasting its strength echoed through the night sky. Mo Fan turned around to take a closer look. He saw the Tyrant Titan slowly disappearing into the mists on the sea, but its cry was still echoing in his mind.
”It sounds desperate,” Apas said softly.
”How can you tell? Why do I feel like it's showing off its strength, like it is trying to attract a female Tyrant Titan to it?” Zhao Manyan said.
”The despair will soon turn into violence. You should warn the people in Athens about it. It's going to bring a bloodbath,” Apas said.
The others looked at Apas. They did not expect a young woman like her to say something like that in such a firm voice.
”Are you sure?” Mo Fan asked.
”Mm, its cry is full of sorrow. I think someone has taken something precious from it, and it doesn't know where to look for it. If it was roaming close to the city lately, it means it hasn't given up yet, but its cry just then… it means it has lost all hope,” Apas said.
The others were confused after hearing Apas' explanation.
”Mo Fan, come to think of it, do you remember the heart of a young Tyrant Titan that was auctioned off a few days ago? It's definitely something that a Basic or Intermediate Earth Mage could only dream of. A renowned clan ended up buying it for a huge sum. They gave it to the young disciple of another renowned clan they were trying to establish a connection with on the spot,” Zhao Manyan spoke up after remembering something.
”Oh, I remember that, too,” Mo Fan nodded.
The heart of a young Tyrant Titan! Mo Fan remembered it was the item right after the Horn of the Deer God. He had even exclaimed how lucky it was to be a disciple of a renowned clan. They could afford to spend so much money on these rare resources for young Mages below the age of twenty. These young Mages were clearly going to be unbeatable among the people of their age!
