"Of course not!" Yuga said. "I don't have the capability to command the Wind Elental at that mont. Think about it; the entire environnt was frozen solid by Bigas's ice magic. How could I possibly have conjured wind in that situation?"
"But there was definitely a gust of wind..." Kevin had felt it too. "It hit my face and really stung, just like the wind from my blade when I slash soone!"
"So you're saying you did it, then!" Jemma teased Kevin.
"No. I'm never falsely modest, but if I didn't do it, I didn't do it."
"How strange. Who could have done such a thing?"
The monsters lit a bonfire. They had already lit one earlier, when evening was just beginning, to tell Igor and the others Xiso's story. Now, true night was about to fall.
The flas leaped and danced, and everyone's spirits were high because Xiso and Bigas had finally reconciled. This was sothing they had eagerly awaited, and it was a heartwarming tale they hoped to see unfold.
When this wonderful story gets out, it'll turn into a tale of Beauty and the Monster. What a thrilling story that will be!
Igor rested his chin in his hands, puzzling over why Xiso had been blown towards Bigas by that mysterious wind.
His first thought was about the source of that strange wind.
This was a bit of a mood killer. Everyone else was basking in joy while he was lost in thought. And apparently, mulling it over by himself wasn't enough, because he voiced his question aloud, "Seniors, any idea where that wind ca from?"
This question instantly silenced the joyful monsters. They had originally thought it didn't matter who had summoned the wind. What mattered was that it had resolved a tricky situation, which was beneficial, so there was no need for further investigation. Besides, the person who had conjured the wind must have been kind-hearted...
However, Igor wouldn't let it go; he was determined to get to the bottom of it...
It wasn't exactly an appropriate question for the mont. But Igor didn't give it much thought; he was eager for the answer, presuming it was tied to what he had been pondering.
He had many questions for the one who had created that mysterious wind.
But very few could actually answer Igor's question.
The cheerful atmosphere vanished, leaving everyone silent. After all, no one seed able to answer Igor's question.
This made the whole scene awkward. Everyone exchanged glances, wondering how to respond.
"Who could it be then? If it wasn't any of us, could it have been the Wizard accompanying Bigas?"
Actually, with a little analysis, they could have figured it out; they were all top-tier masters with such reasoning abilities. It was just that they didn't wish to speculate or deduce. They believed there was no need for further discussion as long as Xiso and Bigas were together and happy.
But Igor felt finding the answer was imperative. It seed this youngster's focus was just different from everyone else's.
Igor always paid attention to things others overlooked and often had peculiar ideas.
This ti, no one knew what he was really after.
"Co to think of it, that Wizard seems to have just advanced, hasn't she? And it seems she advanced in the Wind Elent..." soone said, and a look of realization spread through the group.
"It seems the one who summoned the wind was that Wizard."
"Yes, she had the advantage of being so close to Xiso."
"To be able to summon the Wind Elental at such a mont is truly remarkable. Even I hadn't fully regained my mobility at that point..."
"I can't believe even Bigas's attendants are of such high caliber! It's unbelievable!"
"The world is changing so fast; we're getting left behind!"
At this mont, Igor was like a rattle-drum, his head swinging back and forth as he looked from one elder to another. He felt as if he'd discovered a treasure trove and was now overwheld by its riches, unable to take it all in.
Indeed, once the monsters opened up, they couldn't stop talking. They discussed everything from the application of Spirit Power and the changes in the world to the unique situation on Guru Mountain.
This made it hard for Igor to grasp the main point; he struggled to connect all the scattered pieces of information.
His mind was a jumble, but one thing stuck with him: the Wizard accompanying Bigas had summoned that wind...
Wasn't that Wizard Great Witch Biggs? Igor had learned from Qi Liu that Witch Biggs had advanced to beco a Gray Robe. Before he could fully process his surprise, this Great Witch had astonished him yet again with sothing else.
This was all happening too fast, and much of it defied common sense!
Igor's chaotic thoughts were gradually dominated by Great Witch Biggs. If possible, he wanted to speak with Great Witch Biggs again, just like that ti in the Divination House.
While the monsters continued to chatter about everything under the sun, Igor retreated into his own world. None of them noticed a figure approaching from nearby...
This person was Biggs. She had been standing awkwardly between Xiso and Bigas. Only when everyone else had left did she realize her awkward position and hastily departed, leaving the space to Xiso and Bigas.
Her reaction had been a little slow, but she had eventually realized. That was still sowhat comforting...
Biggs slowly walked towards the group, her pace slowing as she drew nearer. After all, to her, she was a complete outsider... The fact that these monsters hadn't treated her as an intruder was already quite rciful.
The mont Biggs appeared, the monsters fell silent once more.
However, the silence lasted only a mont before they resud their previous discussion.
"Looks like Xiso and Bigas have finished their talk."
"That was rather quick."
"Hehe, that's good. Our brain will be back soon."
"Are you sure he'll co back? I think he should leave."
Biggs was ignored!
However, Biggs was used to being ignored, so she was accustod to this kind of situation.
But not everyone in the group turned a blind eye to her. Igor, for instance, was particularly excited at this mont. He had many questions for Witch Biggs, so naturally, he was thrilled.
"Your Excellency, Great Witch."
Biggs rubbed her ears, feeling as if she were hallucinating. Why on earth would soone suddenly address her as 'Your Excellency'? Sothing must be off.
