Chapter 507 [507] The strange patterns.
?Using his wings to propel himself, he took a good look at the surroundings from above.
The others were used to him doing this now, although the people from the Wellington"s family did look at him with odd gazes.
"Must be nice to have a bloodline that strong."
One commented, and went on to do his business. The rest looked at him from afar, admiring his wings.
Nevertheless, they all had important duties to do, some scout teams had gone and were nowhere to be seen.
"...The heck?"
From the skies, Alan commented, his voice laced in confusion as his mind tried to comprehend the strange...patterns.
The patterns the gra.s.s formed was of squares and triangles. The triangles were formed by the patches of blue gra.s.s, and the squares by the patches of green. However, a difference as small as this could be discerned from the ground.
He went a little higher and activated his dragon eyes, then he saw that the tips of the separate color gra.s.ses were in opposite directions, The green gra.s.s pointed towards far south, whilst the blue pointed towards the north.
"..."
He also noticed tiny specks of red in the center of all these shapes and patches. He went down and when he looked again, they weren"t there.
"Weird."
He commented, as he activated his dragon eyes again and could see the red dots once more.
[Mana conduit.]
[Inactive.]
That was all that popped up when he inspected it with his skill. He deactivated it. The red spots could only been seen with his skill, and no one else noticed it, even with their detection skills.
"Lanesha, you know anything about this?"
He asked, thinking a supreme would definitely know something about this. The name did give him an idea of what it was but he needed more concrete info.
But there was no response.
"Suleras?"
He called out to his other guardian dragon, and no response from him as well. He checked his body with his mana and found nothing wrong with his connection to the two...but strangely they didn"t respond.
"Are they busy?"
He concluded that it was just because they had their own matters to attend too, and left the matter, thinking it would be better to revisit when he could converse with them again.
"Max, I"ll be back, I"m going to scout a bit."
Alan informed Maxwell. He wanted to check what exactly the tips of the gra.s.ses were pointing towards. Of course, it could just be nonsense, or something useless. But it worth a try. Scout teams may have departed in that direction, but, because he could only see the red dots with his [Dragon eyes], he thought it would be better to go himself.
"Take someone with you, three people at least."
Maxwell advised, still cautious of whatever dangers lurked ahead.
"I"ll take Kazikato with me, he"s the only one that can keep up with my speed."
"Take Sabrina with you as well."
"What? She is safe here, Besides the gravity here is too much for her."
"Too much for whom?"
"Hik!"
He heard a voice behind him and shut up, Maxwell looked at him with a grin and said.
"Both of you are idiots that are overconfident. You both don"t know when to stop, Take someone smart with you. Please."
"..."
He wanted to say something to refute that statement, but the person behind him rethink his thoughts. Although Sabrina was weak to the gravity here because of her physical attributes...she was good to have.
She knew more than he did, and because of his inability to use [Dragon Eyes] for a prolonged period of time, he should have her with him. Kazikato was coming along because he could use his skill more freely, and would provide better information.
But Maxwell did have some truth to his statement...Kazikato wasn"t the brightest tool in the shed.
"Sigh..."
"Did you just sigh inwardly? Is taking me along such a repulsive idea?"
"No, your just..."
"Just?"
"Nothing, forget I ever said anything."
"I shouldn"t speak any further."
He got ready and called Kazikato, who sprouted his own wings and began to float.
"How am I supposed to go with you all when your fly-Hey!"
Alan didn"t wait for her to finish and simply carried her, and then flew.
"d.a.m.n."
Maxwell whistled from the back as he watched them depart towards the north. He sincerely wished Logan had seen that, but the old man was busy in own matters and missed it.
He missed some good drama there.
*******
On the way to the north, They saw large forests with small trees, a lake and more patches of blue gra.s.s. The green gra.s.s was nowhere to be seen.
"Keep your eyes active and keep looking everywhere, report anything odd."
Alan ordered Kazikato, and he obliged. They kept flying at a moderate pace. Alan would also activate his eyes at regular intervals to check for himself.
"Was this really necessary?"
As the trip went on, all three of them quickly grew bored, finding no fault with the surroundings. Sabrina asked Alan. Her voice was difficult to hear at this alt.i.tude.
"What are you talking about?".
He asked, expressing some confusion at her question. Kazikato listened closely.
"This method of...transport."
"You mean how I am carrying you?"
"Yes."
He didn"t understand what she found wrong with it, he had carried her in the traditional "princess carry" a few times before. Granted, they were emergencies but...she should be used to it now.
"I can change it if you want."
Regardless, if she was disturbed he was ready to carry her in another way. Whatever way she preferred.
"No, keep doing this."
He couldn"t see her face due to her turning away, but he found the entire conversation they had to have no meaning.
Why would she ask that if her response was that?
Ignoring it, he increased his speed. There was a strange feeling in his body as he was went further north.
Soon, they could see mountains covered with snow. But before that, Sabrina noticed something else.
"Alan, descend for a bit."
He, along with Kazikato flew down.
