Chapter 468 The So-Called 'Registration' <TOC> Chapter 470 Clouds, Fog, and Heavenly Machinations
Translator: SumTLMan
After returning to Sanders’ mansion, Angel began immersing himself in work.
Initially, when he was in the Savage Grottoes, he had already recorded Nausica’s various data and roughly sketched out a blueprint. Now, he was just integrating his previous ideas and adding some more versatile and battle-capable functions.
It took him about half a day to design various function combinations. However, he had not yet determined how to assemble them and what the final form would look like. As he told Nausica, he planned to visit Midora tomorrow, hoping to get some advice from him. After all, this was the holy land of mechanical alchemy, and even though Midora was a master alchemist in potion studies, he must have come across a lot of mechanical knowledge, and his vision alone would be enough to guide Angel.
That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, with clouds and mist hovering around Sky Mechanical City.
Angel took Toby out of his pocket. It had been nearly half a month since they left Black Castle, and although Toby hadn’t woken up, his condition was much better than before. Moreover, Angel could feel the powerful energy surging within its body. Perhaps, as Gloria had said, Toby was integrating the emotion of “Extreme Fury.”
Angel skillfully took out a Soul Bead and placed it in his palm. Although Toby was still unconscious, every time it smelled the Soul Bead, it would open its mouth in its sleep.
As Angel stroked Toby’s soft feathers, he checked its condition again. Its physiological indicators and vital signs were all healthy.
Putting Toby back into his pocket, Angel thought about the Kulakuka tribe, which he hadn’t paid attention to for a long time. He was about to enter the Purification Garden again and didn’t know if he could come out safely.
To fulfill the High Priest’s request, he planned to move the Kulakuka tribe out of the bracelet first.
With a thought, Totoro and the Kulakuka tribe members appeared in Angel’s room in an instant.
However, except for Totoro, who opened his eyes in confusion and looked at Angel, none of the other Kulakuka tribesmen in the room noticed that they had changed locations. It wasn’t that the Kulakuka tribe was insensitive; it was purely because Angel had set up a fog around the room, making it difficult for them to see clearly.
“An…” Totoro looked at Angel with clear eyes, wanting to call out his name joyfully.
Angel made a “shushing” gesture at him, and Totoro blinked, seeming to understand something and not speaking.
Angel was very satisfied with Totoro’s performance. It seemed that after Dushana and Granny Babaya’s training, Totoro was getting closer to being a normal person.
Totoro quieted down, but his eyes kept following Angel.
Angel summoned Babaya from the room.
When Babaya appeared in front of Angel, she curiously looked around: “Master, is this the place you have chosen for us?”
“What? Do you still want to be the fairies in the attic?” Angel laughed.
Initially, the Kulakuka tribe was called “fairies in the attic” because they liked to inhabit the attics of human houses.
“We can live anywhere, as long as humans treat us like Master does, even living in human attics would be fine.” Babaya took the opportunity to flatter Angel.
Angel: “How have you been recently? Are you getting used to it?”
“Recently, our tribe has been studying the structure of the building. They really like the building Master built. The independent yet integrated living environment among neighbors makes everyone live happily and the relationships have improved quickly.” Babaya laughed: “They even say that when we move to a new place, we want to build such a building.”
“It seems that your adaptability is not bad.” Angel smiled, “I called you out this time because I have something to tell you…”
Angel took Babaya to see housekeeper number one, asking him to temporarily take care of the Kulakuka tribe’s life, including food and water supply.
After the housekeeper took note of the arrangements, Angel went to Mentor’s study.
After all, this was Mentor’s residence, and it required Sanders’ permission to allow such a large group of people to stay temporarily.
Regarding Angel’s request, Sanders nodded: “Yes.”
He had known about the existence of the Kulakuka tribe from Angel’s experiences early on, and he could barely tolerate such a non-territorial human tribe.
Having settled the accommodation issue, Angel began to discuss the bloodline issue of the Kulakuka tribe with a shy face.
Sanders glanced at Babaya, carefully sensing the shackles in her bloodline, and pondered for a moment: “It can be resolved.”
Angel’s eyes lit up, but before he could ask further, Sanders returned a sentence: “However, you can’t solve it for now. Wait until you are promoted to an official wizard, and study it yourself. Or, I remember you have a friend who is a bloodline wizard, right? She should be able to give you some advice.”
Of course, Sanders could solve the bloodline problem of the Kulakuka tribe, but why should he? Besides, since Angel had to take care of this matter due to personal connections, it was natural for him to personally settle this favor.
Angel also understood Sanders’ position. Since Sanders said that bloodline wizards could help, he could seek assistance from Nausica.
After solving the Kulakuka tribe’s issue, Angel began to ponder how to ask Sanders to help with his own problem.
Seeing that Angel hadn’t left and was showing a “please ask me” expression, Sanders couldn’t bear to let him continue his awkward performance and took the initiative to ask: “Do you have anything else?”
Angel’s eyes lit up, and he said to Sanders: “Mentor, I heard that the Purification Garden actually issues invitation cards to official wizards, is that true?”
Sanders nodded: “Yes.”
Angel showed a joyful expression: “Can I have one?”
Sanders looked deeply at Angel, making the latter feel uneasy, then whispered: “Do you want to change your title?”
Angel hesitated for a long time, not speaking.
Understanding his shy apprentice’s feelings, Sanders chuckled secretly and took out an unmarked invitation card from his space, tossing it to Angel: “Take it. You don’t need to change your title specifically. After all, when you participated in the Sky Tower event, you competed with your face covered.”
Angel nodded, understanding that even without a title, it was better than being called “Milk Baron.”
After smoothly taking the invitation card from Sanders, Angel was about to turn back to his room when Sanders called out to him: “What have you been studying lately?”
“Flame Formation Phantom Attack,” Angel replied truthfully.
Sanders nodded slightly: “Illusion formations… This branch of illusion spells requires related knowledge of magic formations and alchemy. It should be more suitable for you. You can continue to study this trick, but I have to remind you that since you can now use the Gravity Lines, you should develop more uses for them. They will be of great help to your survival in the Purification Garden.”
Angel nodded. Because there was a time limit for soul separation, staying separated for too long would cause the body to lose vitality. So he rarely had the opportunity to train the Gravity Lines. However, he knew that the Gravity Lines were very useful for his survival in the Purification Garden. After all, he could use them to fly at high speed, providing strong mobility. With this advantage, Angel could greatly improve his chances of survival.
As for nourishing the body… Angel planned to visit Midora to see if there were any potions that could enhance body vitality.
When Angel was leaving, Sanders suddenly threw him a talent orb.
Sanders pointed to Babaya, who had been shivering and not daring to make a sound: “She should have a talent. Since you brought back a group of people, you can use it to test them. If you can gather five gifted ones, you can take on the Guiding Leader’s mission. The mission reward may not be much, but it can help them assimilate into the Savage Grottoes.”
“Sometimes, to solve problems, you don’t have to do it yourself. Letting them solve it on their own is also an option.”
Angel left Sanders’ study with the talent orb.
He understood the meaning of Sanders’ last words. Actually, the bloodline issue of the Kulakuka could be solved by themselves, as long as they could step onto the path of wizards and successfully continue.
However… gathering five gifted ones seemed a bit difficult.
…
When Angel returned to his bedroom, he found first waiting at the door.
“Master Pat, the master has instructed me to clear the guest room next door to accommodate your guests.”
Sanders’ order? Angel originally intended to have the Kulakuka tribe stay in his bedroom, but Sanders proactively arranged a new room. Obviously, Sanders considered the need for a quiet environment for his research, and this detail touched Angel.
After moving Totoro and the entire Kulakuka tribe to the room next door, Angel did not immediately start testing talents.
Talent is not something that can be escaped. He planned to wait until the Kulakuka tribe had truly settled down before conducting tests, after all, leading the Kulakuka tribe on the path of wizards had a deeper meaning.
However, Totoro was someone Angel intended to test.
When they were on the Gondola, the Naga once said that Totoro had a high mental strength value, higher than both him and Shadow. This indicated that Totoro was indeed a gifted one. Although the Talent Sphere had a large deviation in testing talents, it was possible to infer some possibilities using the —Annals of Abiras Talent Collection—.
With this thought, Angel brought Totoro to the table and motioned for him to sit down.
Totoro showed an affectionate smile to Angel and sat down opposite him.
Angel placed the Talent Sphere in the center of the table, then lit an oil lamp and poured a glass of water. These two items represented fire and water, and were the easiest things to change during a talent test.
Then, he told Totoro: “In a moment, place your hand on the Talent Sphere, and pay attention to observing the surroundings to see if anything unusual appears, like an extra piece or a missing piece, the fire burning more fiercely or extinguishing, or patterns appearing on the water surface, etc… all are considered unusual.”
“Remember, be sure to pay attention.”
Angel’s repeated reminders made Totoro’s mental strength highly concentrated as well, and he nodded to Angel: “I’ll pay attention!”
“Let’s begin then.”
