In the teleportation room on one side of Tree Spirit Hall.
“Are you not going back to pack your belongings?” Angel asked Baruba.
Baruba shook his head: “No need, I don’t have any belongings to pack.”
Angel: “About the alchemy shop, are you sure you can just leave like this?”
Baruba raised his head in confusion, not understanding why the red-haired wizard in front of him would know about his work at the alchemy shop. Could it be that in such a short time, he had already investigated his background?
He didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask, so he just told the truth: “Master Promi has recently been in seclusion, working on a piece for the past month, and hasn’t shown up. A few days ago, he sent me a message saying the shop would be temporarily closed until he’s done. He didn’t mention when he would return, but from the tone of his message, it seems it would be quite a while.”
This was why Baruba had the time to take on the construction task for the tea party building.
“Promi is in seclusion?” Angel whispered softly. He had initially thought of including Promi in the first round of open beta tests. After all, as a veteran alchemist, his participation would be greatly beneficial, whether in the construction of the new city or in arranging the tea party venue.
Most importantly, Angel was familiar with Promi’s character.
However, since Promi was still in seclusion, that plan had to be postponed.
Once it was confirmed that Baruba didn’t need to pack anything, Angel led him directly to the teleportation point.
After a while, they left the chasm, saw the sky and set foot on the frigid land of the Paramjit Plateau, where despite it being the Month of Rest, was still bitterly cold.
Two little ones shivered from the cold as they emerged and quickly took out thick clothes from their bundles to put on.
Baruba, among them, wore the least, not only was his upper body bare, but he also had bare feet. Yet, standing on the frozen ground, he seemed unfazed, his complexion unchanging.
“Big guy, aren’t you cold?” Kudou curiously looked at Baruba.
Baruba replied, “Not cold. After bloodline fusion, as long as I don’t enter extreme climates, I can maintain a stable body temperature.”
“Bloodline fusion? Are you like Babaya, from the bloodline branch?” Kudou’s eyes lit up. “I didn’t realize you had integrated with your bloodline! Can Babaya and I discuss bloodline issues with you later?”
Babaya glared at Kudou, though she didn’t like him mentioning her while speaking, she didn’t stop him. Deep down, she also wanted to interact with Baruba, who was also from the bloodline branch.
Discussing bloodline issues? Baruba’s expression became slightly distant, and a self-mocking smile curled at his lips.
He wanted to tell Kudou that his bloodline was the Umbrella Fungus bloodline, known as a one-line bloodline, with nothing really to discuss.
But seeing Kudou’s hopeful face, he didn’t know how to break the news.
“Baruba’s bloodline is quite unique, and it’s difficult to give constructive advice just on the nature of bloodlines,” Angel suddenly spoke up, joining their conversation. “Moreover, Babaya’s leans towards a plant-type bloodline, which is a special branch even among bloodlines. Instead of seeking help from Baruba, you might try exchanging for —The New Natural Bloodline Compendium— at High Cloud Library.”
With a few words, Angel shifted the focus of the conversation away from Baruba.
Baruba looked towards the red-haired wizard ahead: Was he helping him out?
A sense of gratitude rose in Baruba’s heart. This might be the first time since entering the Savage Grottoes that he felt kindness from a formal wizard. However, along with the gratitude, there was also a great deal of curiosity. Who was this red-haired wizard, and why did he always seem so familiar with him?
Angel looked at Babaya and said, “Moreover, your body is weak right now. I think what you need most at the moment is to first learn Blood Magic to stabilize your own vitality. Only then should you consider what bloodline to integrate.”
A flicker of sadness passed through Babaya’s eyes. She too knew she should learn Blood Magic first, but had it not been for taking on Lord Pat’s mission this time, she didn’t know how long it would take to exchange for the blood arts.
Angel continued, “Once we return, I can give you Blood Magic first. However, I need you to record your daily training progress.”
After speaking to Babaya, Angel then turned to Kudou, “You as well. You should also list the spells you want to practice and keep track of your progress.”
Babaya and Kudou were momentarily stunned. They understood the meaning behind his words but didn’t understand why this was necessary. Babaya had a feeling that Lord Pat seemed to be very concerned about their training progress?
Seeing the confusion in the eyes of the two youngsters, Angel didn’t explain further. They would understand once they entered the Wilderness of Dreams.
This time, he was bringing them into the Wilderness of Dreams not just to assist Jon but also to record how their spell practice progressed in this environment.
After all, the virtual magic of the Wilderness of Dreams was ideally suited for their level. They could use the virtual magic to construct spell models without worrying about the models collapsing, giving them more opportunities to find spell models suited to their mental space at a faster pace.
This was also a small sub-project focused on the larger environment of the Wilderness of Dreams.
“It’s time to go.” Since he was bringing three apprentices this time, Angel didn’t fly directly to the ruins but instead took out the Gondola.
Babaya and Kudou, upon seeing the Gondola, showed little reaction and obediently jumped onto it. Baruba, however, looked at the dreamlike flying boat in a daze.
Although he had never ridden this particular vessel, how could he not be aware of its origins with such a conspicuous flying vehicle in front of him?
At present, only that person possesses the Gondola.
Baruba looked toward the red-haired wizard not far away, his throat moving slightly… Could it be that His Identity is Angel?
If it really is Angel, then everything that happened today seems to make sense.
In the entire Savage Grottoes, the only one who truly and sincerely helped him, pulling him out of the dark abyss, was Angel.
This was because before Angel had officially stepped through the door to the extraordinary, Baruba had once saved him from an assassin.
At that time, Baruba acted on a whim, but since then, Angel has repaid him countless times.
He anonymously gave him a guidance method; when he was about to be crafted into a substitute puppet, it was Angel who saved him; later, the —Basic Tricks.Revised— that he practiced was also taught to him by Angel.
Baruba even knew that the reason Master Promi left him in the shop as an employee was actually out of consideration for Angel.
If the red-haired wizard really is Angel, why he knows his news, why he would sense goodwill, then it all makes sense. In the entire Savage Grottoes, the only wizard who would send him goodwill is probably only Angel.
