Chapter 634 Three Talent Holders <TOC> Chapter 636 Violent Thorn

In fact, Angel also hoped that Babaya would be a talented person with bloodline lineage, so that in the future, the bloodline problem of the Kulakuka tribe could be solved by Babaya without any issue.
Judging from her respect and filial piety towards her own grandmother, as well as her care for her fellow tribespeople, Babaya is a very responsible woman. Perhaps she really can bear the mission of the Kulakuka tribe.
This time, being able to identify three talented individuals, Angel felt quite pleased. After leaving the kitchen, he went to the flower room to meet these three talented people.
Among the three Kulakuka tribespeople, besides Babaya, the other two were a man and a woman. Kudou was a very honest young man, and Angel had a good impression of him. If he remembered correctly, Kudou was the second person to submit to him after Babaya. The reason was that Kudou took a liking to Babaya and saw that she had already knelt down to Angel, so he hurriedly pledged allegiance to Angel.
It could be said that Kudou was an honest-looking young man, but in fact, he was quite clever.
The other woman, Rococo, who possessed the talent of summoning, was a bit unremarkable. She hid behind Babaya, holding a plush toy, and timidly looked at Angel.
Angel had no impression of her, probably an introverted and shy girl?
Angel told them the meaning of being a talented individual, as well as the cruelty and splendor of the Wizarding World. As they listened with both worry and anticipation, Angel reiterated the mission of the Kulakuka tribe that they carried on their shoulders.
According to Angel’s observation, Kudou’s reaction to this most important tribal mission was somewhat hesitant and a little helpless, but in the end, he nodded in acceptance; Rococo completely ignored it and immersed herself in her little girl’s world.
Only Babaya, with her eyes filled with determination, could be seen as truly taking the task of solving the bloodline problem of the Kulakuka tribe as her own responsibility.
Angel silently nodded in his heart, perhaps his guess was indeed correct, among these three people, only Babaya might be able to take on the great responsibility.
“As long as you understand, this is the only reason for you to leave your homeland and follow me. It is also the mission your branch tribe bears. You may have other dreams, but before completing this mission, put them aside and bear this responsibility on your shoulders, is this understood?”
“Understood.” Except for Babaya, there were scattered voices.
Angel’s face was very serious as he scolded them again. Perhaps they thought Angel was angry, and only then did they unanimously shout loudly: “Understood!”
Angel nodded, to be honest, he felt that the other two talents besides Babaya were somewhat unreliable.
Angel thought for a moment and said: “Babaya, stay, I have something to say to you. Rococo and Kudou, you two go to the door first, and I will take you to register your identities and officially settle in Savage Grottoes later.”
After leaving Babaya alone, Angel was silent for a long time. Under Babaya’s slightly nervous mood, he began to speak: “I have repeated the issue of bloodline, and your High Priest has also told you. What I want to ask now is, are you really willing to take on this responsibility and help the Kulakuka tribe through the catastrophe?”
Babaya was stunned and nodded without hesitation: “This is my responsibility, and I will not shirk it!”
Babaya’s eyes were very firm, and Angel could feel that her emotions also carried a strong determination.
It took a while for Angel to nod and say: “Well, since you have this awareness, I have something else to tell you.”
“Remember, the words I will say next must not be leaked, otherwise…” Angel wanted to say a threatening punishment but thought better of it: “Forget it, after I finish the following words, I believe you will make the right choice.”
Angel paused for a moment, and amidst Babaya’s curiosity, he slowly began to speak.
After a long while, Angel finally finished speaking, and Babaya’s face had turned from rosy to pale.
“Lord… is what you said true?” Babaya’s voice trembled, and her delicate face had a deathly chill.
“Of course it’s not a lie.” Angel said lightly.
Babaya looked somewhat shaken, and after a while, she knelt down, tears falling from her eyes, landing on her green skirt, like dew-stained tender sprouts.
Angel could understand her current feelings. If anyone knew that their ancestors’ souls had been absorbed by a large formation and made into Soul Beads for others to consume, they would probably react like this, or even worse.
That’s right, Angel told Babaya the truth that the High Priest had deliberately concealed.
When they left the Living Soul Garden, the High Priest only told them that there was a problem with the bloodline of the tribe and that they left to find and solve the problem. But what exactly was the problem, the High Priest remained silent.
Now Angel had just pulled down the veil that the High Priest had been desperately hiding.
In fact, the High Priest could not be entirely blamed for making this choice at that time. It could only be said that it was fate. Isabelle had saved them in the midst of war and extermination, and they made this choice to repay Isabelle.
At that time, they did not know that the consequences of this choice would be so severe, but the High Priest had been reincarnating without dying and guarding the secret.
Babaya’s tears kept falling non-stop, when suddenly she raised her head, trembling and asked: “Were my parents also made into… Soul Beads?”
Angel looked down at her from a higher position, remaining silent.
Babaya laughed with an ugly and sorrowful expression, silence was the best answer.
“Then, if my grandmother dies, will she also be incorporated into that big formation?”
Angel slowly nodded: “No matter how far away, as long as your Kulakuka clan’s bloodline issue is not resolved, once you die, your soul will return to the great formation beneath Ciporak.”
Babaya shuddered all over, burying her head and letting her long hair cover her face.
After a long time, she seemed to have understood, and slowly stood up, raised her head, showing a determined and serious expression, and said word by word: “I, Babaya, swear here that I will definitely solve the bloodline problem of my clansmen, definitely! If my original intention changes, my body will fall into darkness forever, and my soul will sink for eternity!”
Angel was stunned.
At this moment, listening to Babaya’s poisonous oath, Angel saw her change, as if she had grown ten years in a short time, not only her face, but from her heart to her soul, Babaya had begun to break out of her cocoon and transform.
In a trance, Angel saw the shadow of Nausica on this tiny figure.
Both were so strong, women who couldn’t be defeated or crushed by any setbacks.
At this moment when the atmosphere was stagnant, Angel suddenly broke the silence:
“Do you blame the High Priest?”
Babaya choked several times, her eyes changing countless times, as if weighing the so-called good and bad, and gains and losses. In the end, she sighed:
“I do not blame.”
Angel nodded, not asking further why she didn’t blame, and was quite satisfied that Babaya could see reality clearly without being influenced by her emotions in extremely sad situations.
This is reality. If Babaya cannot recognize reality, she won’t go far in the world of wizards.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to Tree Spirit Hall to register.” Angel paused for a moment: “Clean up your emotions, wipe the tears on your face, and remember, don’t reveal what I said today.”
Babaya nodded heavily.
…
When leaving Tree Spirit Hall, Angel handed three specially-made bone cards the size of tiny grains of rice to the three of them.
The playful voice of Tree Spirit still echoed in Angel’s ears: “Not long ago, you brought someone here to register, and now you’ve brought three more little talents so quickly. Why not just take on the role of guide for this term?”
The Guide Mission was something that both wizards and apprentices wanted to avoid.
Although the rewards were not bad, the amount of time it took was very long, making it not worth it in the end. As a result, every time the Guide Mission was announced, the number of apprentices taking tasks in the hall would drop dramatically. No one wanted to take on such an ungrateful task during their already precious apprenticeship.
In the end, Lord Rhine had no choice but to assign the Guide Mission to the official wizards, as they had longer lifespans. However, this led to the official wizards also finding various ways to avoid the task, such as feigning illness, acting shamelessly, or simply disappearing into other dimensions.
For example, the previous term’s Guide Mission should have been taken by Wallace, but he kept pretending to be weak and shameless. Eventually, Sanders had to leave to search for Gloria’s Barbie Restaurant, so he accepted Lord Rhine’s favor and took on the Guide Mission on Wallace’s behalf.
This shows just how unpopular the Guide Mission is.
Although Tree Spirit was joking, after pondering for a moment, Angel decided to take on the task.
Angel took out his bone card, which already displayed the Guide Mission. Guide’s name displayed: Angel.
With Tree Spirit’s authority, Angel didn’t need to go to the task hall and accepted the task.
The minimum requirement for the guide’s task was five people.
Disregarding the three Kulakuka tribesmen introduced today, Tree Spirit also counted Totoro, who was brought by Angel not long ago. So, Angel had already guided four people, completing 80% of the task.
Thinking about the time, as long as he brought back one more talent within two years, the Guide Mission would be considered complete.
Angel thought that since he was going back to the Old Land Continent this time, he would also visit the Revelation Continent to find the ‘Dream Conch of the Moonlit Coast’ hidden by Freud. Along the way, he would pass through countless lands, so there should be a chance to find a guide, right?
With such beautiful confidence, Angel accepted the Guide Mission.
