Chapter 646 Temporary Farewell

Accompanied by the rush of air through the pipes, a clear and melodious steam whistle sounded from the upper tier of the Academy of Truth Ark. The Homeloss had once again docked at the steam machinery dock at the end of the Ark's coastline, where knowledge guards and scholars dressed in deep blue cloaks appeared on the gangway, ready to welcome back their pontiff.

Duncan met Rune just as he emerged from the captain's cabin on the stern deck.

This short and plump elf elder had spent a long time in the captain's quarters, engaged in conversation with their race's "creator," and Duncan did not know what they had discussed with the mountain goat head; he only knew that when Rune emerged from the captain's quarters, his expression seemed somewhat vacant.

There was also a kind of serene emptiness, as if clearing the mind.

He approached the "pontiff of truth" and greeted him several times before the latter finally roused from that vacant daze.
