Angel never expected that this simple test of “consciousness” would be so easy for these two. He initially thought only Babaya might pass, but surprisingly, Kudou also succeeded.
However, on reflection, this wasn’t bad. It at least proved that both were highly focused and capable of flexible thinking. Even if they didn’t participate in the Mother Tree Network research, they were qualified to be trained as assistants.
Back in the grand Tree Spirit Hall, Angel could still hear Kudou’s barely suppressed laughter behind him.
Like Babaya, Kudou also joined the Mother Tree Network research. For Babaya, this research was an opportunity; for Kudou, seeing Babaya invigorated and being able to work alongside her was a reason to be happy.
Thus, despite Kudou’s best efforts to conceal his excitement, the laughter leaking from the corners of his mouth betrayed his elation.
Babaya didn’t understand why Kudou kept laughing foolishly and wasn’t interested in guessing his thoughts. Instead, she approached Angel: “Lord, I might need to leave for a while. I have to hand over my current tasks at the Mission Hall before I can report to you on Phantom Island.”
“I’m not currently residing on Phantom Island. As for handing over tasks…” Angel thought for a moment, then said, “Come with me.”
Angel headed towards a side door in the great hall, pushing it open to reveal a bare patch of leaves where Tree Spirit lay in a rocking chair, leisurely swaying back and forth.
Seeing Angel approach, Tree Spirit smiled and waved.
Angel bowed respectfully: “Tree Spirit Lord, you mentioned earlier that I could directly issue and accept tasks here with you?”
Tree Spirit nodded: “That’s right.”
Since updating the information on the bone cards required Tree Spirit’s capabilities for coordination, the information in the Mission Hall was linked with Tree Spirit Hall.
Tree Spirit looked at Angel curiously: “Have you finally decided to take on a mission?”
“I haven’t considered taking on missions just yet. However, I’d like to issue one,” Angel replied.
Tree Spirit exclaimed, “Issue a Mission? Under what identity… and to which Mission Hall?”
“It doesn’t need to be posted to the Mission Hall; make it a private task,” said Angel, turning to glance at the two little ones behind him. “It will suffice if those two take it on.”
Angel could have simply taken Kudou and Babaya with him without issuing a mission, but he knew that during the apprenticeship stage, there were certain mission targets to meet.
Since he intended to have them accompany him for research, it made sense to address their mission targets as well.
Therefore, issuing a mission for them to accept was the most direct method.
Upon hearing this, Tree Spirit immediately understood Angel’s intention and nodded, “Alright, tell me the details of the mission, and I’ll bypass the Mission Hall to update it directly onto their bone card records.”
“For the mission introduction, just say that I have a research project and need assistance for about two months,” Angel paused before continuing, “As for the reward, give Babaya —Blood Magic—, Volume One. “
That was a reward Angel had previously promised to Babaya.
He then looked at Kudou and said, “As for Kudou…”
Kudou interjected, “Lord, I don’t need a reward. I just want to learn from you!”
Angel could tell that Kudou was sincere. The opportunity to study alongside Babaya was a reward in itself for him.
However, since Angel decided to go through the official mission channel, he naturally wouldn’t omit a reward for Kudou. After some thought, he said, “For Kudou, how about a copy of —Basic Tricks.Revised Edition—?”
Tree Spirit nodded, making a gesture in the air, and soon enough, an update appeared on the mission record section of Kudou and Babaya’s bone cards.
Tree Spirit also took the liberty of concluding Babaya’s earlier task of hosting a tea party. This way, Babaya wouldn’t have to make an additional trip.
After doing all this, Tree Spirit curiously asked, “Do you really plan to have those two help with your research?”
In Tree Spirit’s view, Kudou and Babaya’s abilities were too meager. Angel employing them as magic material cleaners seemed more sensible than having them as research assistants.
“My research doesn’t require great strength; they should be up to the task.
Tree Spirit: “A study that doesn’t need strength? I’m a bit curious about your research topic… Could it be what Rhine mentioned earlier, about the ghost and souls?”
Angel shook his head: “No, it’s a study on information exchange.”
Information exchange? Tree Spirit pondered for a moment: “You mean, like a communicator?”
“Somewhat similar, but compared to communicators, there might be more variety.” Images of the Mother Tree Network’s future blueprint that Jon had described emerged in Angel’s mind. From his perspective, it indeed involved a multitude of variations.
Tree Spirit, thinking it was about some functional development of communicators, nodded: “Speaking of which, many wizards have complained to me about Rhine’s aesthetic obsession with communicators. If you really can develop a better communicator, please don’t resort to using crystal balls again.”
Angel smiled and nodded. Crystal balls… he was actually tired of them too.
“Then I look forward to the results of your research.”
After bidding farewell to Tree Spirit, Angel instructed Babaya and Kudou to pack their bags as they would likely be living in the ruins for the foreseeable future.
After Babaya and Kudou left, Angel went to the shadow side of the Eternal Tree, the area arranged for the tea party.
As expected, the Wilderness of Dreams would also set up a venue for the tea party.
Angel intended to take this time to first observe the style of this tea party and then contemplate how it should be designed within the Wilderness of Dreams.
Of course, given Angel’s planning level, he certainly wouldn’t be the one to design it. However, no matter who designs it, he could always offer suggestions.
With an observant eye, Angel looked at the tea party’s arrangements. Although he had seen it before, it was more of a fleeting glimpse. Now, looking closely, he could see many details.
The architecture was mainly pointed roofs with tiles, accompanied by openwork stained windows. At first glance, it seemed somewhat Gothic. However, the carvings on the buildings were various floral decorations, employing a lot of brambles and roses, symbolizing Liana’s preferences.
Moreover, the building walls were primarily pure white, lacking the gloominess of Gothic style, instead having characteristics of Mediterranean architecture. Numerous buildings rose and fell, forming a stark contrast with the vibrant rose red.
The air was filled with a rich rose fragrance, and walking among it, Angel felt quite comfortable.
After wandering around this area comparable to a small town, Angel had some personal experiences.
Overall, Angel was satisfied with the tea party arrangements here. If it were merely a real-world tea gathering spot, it certainly wouldn’t pose any problem.
However, if it were to be moved to the Wilderness of Dreams, there were some issues that needed to be resolved.
