Chapter 632 Bloodline Doubts <TOC> Chapter 634 Three Talent Holders

Leaving the kitchen, Angel was in high spirits. It was not easy to taste Gloria’s cuisine, and according to the usual rules, one had to have a VIP card from Barbie Restaurant to enjoy it.
Now that Gloria was willing to make and share her dishes, Angel had certainly picked up a great deal.
However, according to Gloria, the main ingredient for today was “Mermaid Shell,” which needed to be stewed with ocean fire for a while, and probably wouldn’t be ready until evening.
So, during this process, Angel decided to leave first and find Nausica.
Upon arriving at the greenhouse, Nausica had already finished her inspection and was leaning against the outside, lost in thought with her eyes closed.
“How is it? How are they? Can you solve their problem?” Angel asked.
Hearing Angel’s voice, Nausica opened her eyes. Instead of replying immediately, she walked out with Angel for a few steps, lit her pipe, and blew smoke at the end of the fence.
“Based on what you said and what I saw, their problem is mainly a bloodline issue. However, it has extended to create a mysterious mark on their souls, which leads them to be unconsciously attracted to the large formation you mentioned. It’s not difficult to eliminate the bloodline problems one by one, but if we want to solve it from the root, it’s a bit difficult,” Nausica said, taking several puffs on her pipe, filling the air with the aroma of Silver Scale Roses.
“Do you have any suggestions?” Angel asked.
Nausica shrugged: “If it were up to me, I might need to perform regular dissections and analyze a large number of samples for data. This could provide some related clues. However, using this method, the dozens of Kulakuka samples inside are still too few. Without a hundred or so test subjects, it would be difficult to find a solution.”
After saying this, Nausica noticed Angel’s serious expression and said with a hint of self-mockery: “This is already my limit. Maybe my mentor, Lord Cochlea Van Tesser, has a better method, but it would definitely require a large number of experimental samples as well.”
Angel rubbed his brow: “So, in any case, some people have to die?”
Nausica nodded: “This is the price for asking others to solve the problem.”
When Nausica said this, she added a condition: “However, Lord Sanders is right. You can actually let the Kulakuka people solve it themselves. If there are talented individuals among them who can embark on the path of wizards and successfully follow it, there will be no need to seek help from outsiders. They know their own bloodlines very well, so they won’t need a large number of experimental samples at that time. Why not?”
After listening to Nausica’s words, Angel fell silent for a moment. Just like what Sanders had said back then, indeed, it would be best if they could solve the problem themselves. Otherwise, as Nausica had said, with so many people dead, if they still couldn’t solve it, would he go to the Living Soul Garden to find the High Priest and ask for another group of people?
With this in mind, Angel nodded: “Alright, since both you and Mentor have said so, let them handle it themselves. If it really doesn’t work out, we can discuss it again after I advance to a formal wizard.”
Nausica also agreed with this idea, but she had a doubt: “Are you sure there are talented individuals among them?”
Angel turned around and pointed through the transparent greenhouse: “That one called Babaya, Mentor once said she has talent. As for the others, they need to be tested.”
The testing method was not difficult, Sanders had once given him a talent ball, and they could simply come over and test it.
As he was preparing to test this group of Kulakuka tribespeople, Nausica also put away her pipe and said goodbye to Angel: “I heard that you are preparing to leave the Vast Continent and return to Edge Island?”
Angel nodded and replied: “Yes, I should be setting off in the next few months. My mentor is seriously ill and waiting for me to save him.”
Nausica shrugged: “Then I guess it might be a long time before we meet again. I will leave the Savage Grottoes after collecting some information these days, look for materials to assist with bloodline fusion, and then find a mortal kingdom to rent a safe place for bloodline fusion.”
“Hopefully, when we meet again, we will have made great progress.”
“Same here, may we both be safe and sound.”
Nausica said goodbye to Angel in a very chic manner, and her figure gradually faded away in the swirling smoke, eventually turning into a speck of light and disappearing completely.
Angel didn’t know how much Nausica would have grown by the time they saw each other again. But he hoped that his dear friends, whether it was Nausica or Shalem, could fulfill their dreams and continue to survive and go further in the gloomy Southern Region.
The path of a wizard may eventually lead to loneliness, but as long as one’s heart is not lonely, knowing that there is a group of close friends in all corners of the world, it is also an unignorable force that supports moving forward.
Angel stood silently in place for a long time until the sunset glow broke through the sunlight blockade and set the sky ablaze. Angel then slowly exhaled a turbid breath and walked back toward the entrance of the greenhouse.
Goode was standing at the entrance of the greenhouse. Although Angel couldn’t see Goode’s face, his entire figure was like a pine tree thrust into the rock wall, strong and straight.
Angel walked over and whispered: “Mr. Goode, can you help me arrange an environment with all the elements?”
Goode: “Is Young Master Pat prepared to test his talents for the Kulakuka tribe?”
Angel nodded. Although he could directly observe whether the talent sphere was shining red light to know if there was talent, since he was going to test it, it might as well be a bit more formal. If the Kulakuka tribe really produced a genius, once they became wizards in the future, they would remember that the person who tested their talents for them had such a perfunctory attitude, and it would be embarrassing for Angel.
“Alright, I’ll start setting up now.” Goode was clearly experienced and began the basic arrangements without needing any pointers from Angel.
The location of the arrangement was the side room of the greenhouse, a semi-enclosed seed room.
While Goode was setting up, Angel walked into the greenhouse. Although the Kulakuka tribe lived in the greenhouse, they actually mainly lived in the building that Angel had built for them initially.
He told Babaya the news that he was going to test their talents. At the same time, he also explained their bloodline issue to Babaya, saying that the best way to solve it was for them to solve it themselves, otherwise, even if all of them died, the problem might not be solved at its root.
Babaya relayed Angel’s words to the entire tribe, and they understood this logic. Although they trusted Angel, it was better for their own tribe to solve their own problems rather than relying on outsiders.
Moreover, having the opportunity to become a wizard was exciting news! Among all the tribespeople present, nearly half were young people who hadn’t been tainted by the coldness of the world and hadn’t completely bowed to life. They all had great expectations for the fascinating and magical world of wizards.
Everyone came to the outside of the seed room with enthusiasm and excitement, including Babaya.
Although Sanders had said that Babaya had talent, it was still necessary to test what the specific manifestation of the talent was on the talent sphere.
Originally, Angel intended to participate in the testing process throughout, but halfway through, Gloria sent a message saying that the Mermaid Shell Soup would be ready soon, and if he didn’t drink it in time, the effects would be greatly reduced. At the same time, Gloria wouldn’t allow her food’s effects to decrease, and she would rather banish it into the void than keep it.
Under such circumstances, Angel hurried to the kitchen.
As for the Kulakuka tribe’s talent test, he entrusted it to Goode, the butler. According to Goode himself, the last time he rode a cloud whale to various continents overseas to search for talented individuals, he was also in charge of testing talents.
Goode was very experienced, and Angel felt reassured leaving it to him.
Upon arriving at the kitchen, Gloria was checking the time: “If you were half a minute later, this soup wouldn’t belong to you.”
Angel gave an awkward smile: “Well, I’m testing the talents of the Kulakuka tribe.”
Gloria knew about the Kulakuka tribe. She muttered “too kind” under her breath and said no more, gesturing that the plate on the kitchen table belonged to Angel. She then took her own plate and gracefully pushed open the door to leave.
Angel walked up to the plate, which appeared to be just ordinary clam chowder with green dill and melting yellow cheese.
There was no distinct fragrance, but when Angel took a sip with a curious attitude, his eyes lit up suddenly.
It was as if he was immersed in the ocean, listening to the sound of crashing waves, with the endless sky and azure horizon before him. In the distance, schools of fish frolicked and tumbled, and an ethereal piano melody filled his ears. Turning around, he saw a dazzling display of mermaid charm…
It felt like a mental illusion, but without any fireworks. It silently blended into Angel’s body, taking him on a journey through a magical ocean.
When Angel came back to his senses, tears had unknowingly filled his eyes.
He didn’t know if the tears were from joy or being touched.
From this soup, Angel tasted something mysterious. This feeling was like the sensation he experienced when he merged with the Nightmare Plane in his illusions, allowing him to gain some insights amidst the elusive mystique.
After finishing the soup in one breath, Angel was still savoring its wonderful taste when he suddenly heard Gloria’s voice: “The original purpose of the Mermaid Shell Soup is to enlighten the mind. However, I personally adjusted the recipe and added some top-grade auxiliary ingredients, so that on your first use, it can permanently increase a small portion of mental power without consuming your potential. Due to limited ingredients, it can increase your mental power value by up to 0.5.”
After a pause, Gloria added: “Of course, this is the reward for you saving me in Sleepless City.”
With that, Gloria’s voice fell silent.
Angel, however, was lost in thought. An increase of 0.5 mental power value seemed small, but items that increased mental power value throughout history had always been worth an unimaginable amount. Especially since this was an increase in mental power without consuming potential!
