Chapter 479 Blink (2/2)
”Hmm? I've seen you before.” The other person obviously knew Herlous and was surprised as well.
Before the conversation could carry on, a buzz from a spell appeared in the sky, and the portal appeared again.
”Ha, it seems that captain is done with that Teleportation Mage. That was really efficient.”
Herlous' eyes brightened as he laughed out loud. He had a lot of trust in Han Xiao. After being thrown here, he believed that Han Xiao would bring him back very soon.
As expected, the petty tricks of that Teleportation Mage were nothing in front of the captain. He did not even last for a minute.
”Great, I can finally get out!” The other person was surprised as well.
…
In the bookstore, the portal was open, and they stared at the light door. Not long after, Herlous flew out, but he was not the only one; another person followed him out of the light door.
”There are other people inside!” Sylvia exclaimed. ”Who are you?”
Han Xiao looked over and was stunned.
”Wilsander‽”
This person was shockingly the Floating Dragon Island Dragon Guard Captain, Wilsander!
”Hey, it's been a long time.” Wilsander was boney and depraved looking as always.
”Why are you here?” Han Xiao said with surprise. ”And coming out of the portal‽”
Wilsander dry coughed and pointed at Herlous. ”I got in the way he got in.”
Han Xiao's mouth twitched as he figured out what had happened.
It turned out, in addition to himself, Ames had also sent Wilsander to find her teacher. Then Wilsander was played by the Dragon Emperor's teacher as well. He found Yi Xuan and encountered the same problem as them. As a big time galactic pirate once, Wilsander's mindset was to do things with violence. Hence, he was thrown somewhere else by this Teleportation Mage.
Han Xiao did not expect to meet Wilsander here. ”When did you get here?”
”A few days ago, not much earlier than you.”
Wilsander looked at Yi Xuan, who was pressed down on the ground by Han Xiao, and his face suddenly turned furious. He rushed over, the pair of wings behind him suddenly unfolding, shining with a bright red glow on their edges. With overflowing murderous intent, he yelled, ”You dare to trick me! I'll kill you!”
The wings slashed down quickly, and Han Xiao hurriedly reached out to hold onto Wilsander's demon wings firmly.
”Don't act in the heat of the moment. Noriosse doesn't allow random killings. Plus, we have to dig out clues about the Dragon Emperor's teacher from his mouth.”
”Fine.” Wilsander felt that Han Xiao's logic was sound, so he put the wings back. Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong. His face suddenly changed, and he turned around and looked at Han Xiao with uncertainty.
With his Grade B+ strength, how could Han Xiao withstand his attack this casually and easily?
When he first met Black Star, he had been far from that strong!
Not bothering about Wilsander, who was discreetly being shocked, Han Xiao questioned Yi Xuan. ”Tell me, where did you send my target to.”
”I—I don't know,” Yi Xuan said with a trembling voice.
”Huh, you sure are bold. It seems that you really aren't afraid of death!” Herlous clenched his fist. The sound of bones cracking came from his fists, and an eager expression could be seen on his face. ”I have yet to settle things between us.”
”N—no, you misunderstood,” Yi Xuan wailed. ”I really don't know. He asked me to use the random portal, and the coordinate range is the surface of Noriosse. Since the position is random, I don't know where he went.”
Han Xiao frowned, turned around, and said, ”Feidin, do me a favor.”
Feidin nodded. He walked forward and placed his finger on Yi Xuan's forehead. His Psychic powers penetrated into Yi Xuan's brain, and he told the Teleportation Mage to repeat what he had just said. Then Feidin closed his eyes, only opening them after a while. He shook his head, saying, ”He's not lying; this is true. He honestly doesn't know the whereabouts of the target.”
They looked at each other and were all a little beaten. They had thought that they finally had the upper hand, but the clues ended again.
Sylvia bit her lips and said angrily, ”I got it, this is exactly his intention. Even if we successfully force out his whereabouts, we will still come to no result. He deliberately used the random portal to let us see some hope before upsetting us. This guy is so annoying!”
Wilsander swung his tail, irritated. ”Is following his request to steal the Heart of Crystal Fire the only thing that we can do? This is the only clue.”
Han Xiao was frowning heavily. Suddenly, an idea flashed past his eyes. He quickly suppressed his smile and said with a serious tone, ”I'm not going to bother about his request. Since this is the case, we won't find him anymore. Anyway, what we've done is enough.”
”Are we going to give up?” Herlous clenched his teeth, he was not very satisfied with the result. He really wanted to catch this Oracle and give him a good beating!
”There's no need for us to follow what the target wants us to do. Ames is going to arrive soon. As long as we tell her this clue, our job is considered complete.”
Han Xiao stood up and clapped his hands. He took out a healing agent, threw it to Yi Xuan, and walked away.
”Yo—you're just going to give up like this?” Yi Xuan stood up, surprised. He had thought that he would inevitably get a beating.
”Exactly, why not teach him a lesson? I was tricked so badly by him,” Herlous added.
Han Xiao rolled his eyes and said, ”Come on, at least he did not throw you into outer space. He didn't want to kill you, and that saved his life.”
Then, the Great Mechanic Han turned around, looked at the mess, and said, ”But I'm not going to pay the repair fee.”
”I didn't want you to.” Yi Xuan smiled bitterly. He did not plan to provoke Han Xiao ever again. Han Xiao had some kind of instant teleportation ability, so he would not be able to run no matter how fast his teleportation spell was. He was only good at teleportation spells and knew almost nothing about attack spells. Since even his core ability was useless, how would he be able to fight at all? He just wanted to wait for that group of people to leave and never return.
…
They left that strange, weird bookstore. There was a new member in the group of people, Wilsander. He thought that he would rather work together with his colleague than act alone.
On the way, Wilsander pulled Han Xiao aside and said in an apprehensive tone, ”Are we really going to give up on the target? Will Ames be angry about that?”
”There is no need to; the target is definitely still on Noriosse. When Ames arrives, it will take no time for her the search through the entire planet given how strong she is. Hence, we don't need to hurry to find him. As long as the Dragon Emperor arrives, he will have nowhere to hide,” Han Xiao deliberately whispered, as if he did not want anyone to hear.
