Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave

Geoffrey knew he wouldn't be able to go back at all. Still, he was frightened, so he couldn't help asking that question.

Elder Xue said nothing. He looked away, observing the gray things in the water.

Here, at the height of two hundred feet in the Levitation Tower, he had never thought there would be such things. He felt a strange calmness wash over him. He considered several possibilities, in line with the longstanding motto of the Bold Conjecture House: "Boldly make a hypothesis; carefully verify it." He had come up with that on his own.

"Geoffrey, does the aura of these things strike you as somewhat familiar?" asked Elder Xue.

"Familiar? No," Geoffrey admitted, shaking his head.

It was the first time he had seen such things.

Elder Xue thought for a while. After a few moments, he headed straight towards the water.

He plunged his head in with a splash.

As soon as his head was inside the clear water, one of the gray things swam quickly towards him. It spread out, forming the shape of sharp teeth, and started to bite him.

Elder Xue immediately withdrew his head before the thing could bite him.

Drops of water trickled down his face.

The gray thing couldn't leave the water. It lingered in the spot where Elder Xue's head had been and spread outwards, before slowly retreating.

Elder Xue repeated this action several more times, as though he was teasing the grey thing. As soon as it swam away, he poked his head back into the transparent water.

Each time, the grey thing rushed back, but not quickly enough to succeed in biting Elder Xue.

"Elder Xue, why are you doing that?" Geoffrey asked, wondering what game he was playing with the gray thing.

"I'm trying to sense its aura. It's a pity that it's in water, because the water is blocking most of its aura, making it difficult to sense. I wanted to get a clear confirmation of what I was thinking," Elder Xue answered.
