Chapter 761 - Wells and Lies
It was dusk before nightfall.
Angor was sitting on a moose-pulled sleigh while reading his map, whereas Neet was diligently controlling their vehicle.
They had entered the Tail Mouse Street where many common residential buildings were located, which were releasing cooking heat from their chimneys to repel the snow. People on the street were mostly kids in thick clothes who were snowballing at each other while waiting for dinner.
While traveling, Neet’s sleigh became someone’s target as it received several playful strikes.
And unfortunately for Neet, a nicely-timed snowball hit him right in the face, turning a part of his cheek into a reddish color.
The little devil who committed the assault held his stomach and laughed.
Ordinary noblemen would have probably done something to punish the offender even if it was a child. However, Neet possessed a completely different character as a sailor. He learned to be more tolerant after all the hardships he went through.
Instead, he was a little terrified that the kid might have offended Angor.
The other stories mentioned by Lucas such as the flowerbed on the sea and the Tree of Blessing all happened way after his time. Was it possible that Lucas committed suicide “way after his time” as well?
Apart from the fantasy-like stories, Angor mostly considered the other descriptions in the logbook as truths. When not telling stories, Lucas also used a lot of words and phrases to record more boring stuff like his daily routine on the ship and his meals. There was no point telling lies about these matters.
Until now, Angor regarded the last part of the logbook as another piece of true fact. This was why he had been searching all the wells to find what Lucas left in his “grave”.
But no. He left no stone unturned in the wells and found absolutely nothing. Not a bone chip.
Did Lucas tell another “fiction” at the end of his book then?
