Outside the cave where the Sorobato Angel left the holy object that Fisher went to retrieve, under the leadership of Chun and Hooked Kiss, the Snake People orderly took out the items from the tribe. Kakaro even ntioned submitting a letter to his elder brother Kakafu, detailing how their race had been deceived by the Angels.
However, Hooked Kiss always felt that this matter was not so simple. Although such matters were simple for the Angels, it was not the sa for the Snake People. It involved the experiences of two entire generations, and considering all that they had done for the Angels, it ended up as a futile effort. Who would easily give up? Moreover, they might still hold on to a bit of hope?
Nevertheless, this wasn’t sothing Hooked Kiss and the others needed to worry about. According to Chun’s previous arrangent, he prepared to integrate the Snake People, and of course, this included gathering their belongings...
"So, those holy objects you left behind earlier were sold to the Dragon Heart Continent? But why have I never seen them on the Dragon Heart Continent before?"
"We’re not too sure either. So of the holy objects were directly given to the fellow Snake People on the Dragon Heart Continent, and so were sold to other demi-human species in need of them. But honestly, such custors weren’t abundant, since lower-ranked races either didn’t have money or simply couldn’t use them..."
According to Kakaro, the trade route previously discovered by Chun and Fisher was indeed an additional route, and Hooked Kiss’s judgnt was correct. This route led to the Dragon Heart Continent but underwent many transfers, not a direct sales model. Only the holy objects destined for the Snake People on the Dragon Heart Continent were direct.
The reason was the extrely long journey involved in the trading process. The distance between Dragon Tail Island and the Dragon Heart Continent was like an insurmountable chasm. It was longer than traveling from the southernmost tip of the South Continent to the northernmost end and then crossing the entire Southern Ocean to reach the Western Continent, because at this mont, without the intervention of the Mother Goddess on the primitive landscape, there was a mountain range between Dragon Tail Island and the Dragon Heart Continent.
The rchants who connected most with the Snake-man Species were ocean subhumans known as the "rfolk Species." Hooked Kiss knew of this race, ocean subhumans living in shallow seas, having nothing to do with the Whale-man Species, and it was possible that these rfolk took the holy objects into the sea...
Hooked Kiss’s gaze flickered slightly, the Snake People were inventorying various items, Chun still had to heal the hundreds of slaves here, so the ti spent far exceeded their original estimate, and it was now impossible to return.
"Hmm, I think this is fine... you can train its response a bit more."
Mikhail prepared so dinner for everyone, then stayed by the campfire to rest. Hooked Kiss happened to notice him talking to himself while passing by, and he glanced around suspiciously, but there was no one else beside him,
"What are you talking to yourself about? Having another episode? Where’s Fisher? Hasn’t co back yet, and it’s dark already."
Hooked Kiss quickly used his curse to check the other person’s current state, but everything appeared normal. This guy’s energy seed a bit high, even a little happy?
No, what are you so happy about talking to yourself like this?
Mikhail was startled by Hooked Kiss’s sudden interruption, quickly regained his composure, and looked at Hooked Kiss, it was then Hooked Kiss noticed a hint of divine light glowing in his eyes, unlike his usual small computer-like gaze.
"I don’t know where Fisher went. He went into the cave and hasn’t co out, except for the Snake-man guide who was kicked out, no one else has co out. It’s been almost half an hour, you could go take a look..."
Hooked Kiss raised his eyebrows and turned back, not to find Fisher, but to stare intently at Mikhail’s glowing eyes asking,
"Wait, wait. Explain why you were talking to yourself. What’s the situation, were you talking to soone?"
Mikhail had already turned away but couldn’t resist the curious Hooked Kiss, he pouted and said,
"Archangel Michael... just a bit of technical communication remotely, to speed up progress."
"Oh, oh, speeding up progress... wait, this afternoon when you were resting in the house, were you communicating with Archangel Michael..."
"No, I was asleep then."
"..."
Mikhail said with a blank face, but Hooked Kiss squinted at him for a long ti, feeling unconvinced at all.
Mikhail, feeling uneasy under his gaze, handed Hooked Kiss a skewer of roasted food,
"... eat sothing to seal your lips."
"No need, I’m not hungry."
As Hooked Kiss and Mikhail conversed, since it was already evening when they originally set out, and they still needed to handle the healing of slaves and transportation of items, even if Chun was a Mythical Species, it wasn’t sothing achievable in a short ti. So, soon it was completely enveloped in the darkness of night.
The dusky night sky was absent of the twilight purple clouds, revealing the shimring stars hiding intermittently and the not-so-bright but perfectly round moon at its center.
It was the ti of the full moon.
Hooked Kiss looked up at the moon in the sky. Without continuing his chat with Mikhail, he decided to check on Fisher’s situation, but before that, he had a private mission to complete.
