Although the three Kulakuka bone cards were as small as rice grains, Angel still saw the information about Babaya.
As Goode had judged, after Tree Spirit’s detection, Babaya was indeed a bloodline branch wizard. The other two, Kudou and Rococo, were also correctly judged, being the elemental branch of wood and the mysterious branch of summoning.
Their mental strength values were not low, with Kudou and Babaya having 15 and 16 points respectively. Rococo’s mental strength value was the highest, reaching 18 points.
It’s worth noting that after Angel underwent the baptism of the Altar of Demise and ate Gloria’s “Mermaid Shell Soup”, his mental strength value was just barely 17.5, still a small step away from Rococo’s 18 points.
This is the innate gap… Angel sighed.
Although they had determined their branches, their mentors still had to go to the Resource Allocation Hall for matching.
The reason why Totoro didn’t have to go to the Resource Allocation Hall last time was simply because there was only one prophecy branch wizard in the Savage Grottoes. This time, although their branches were also extremely rare, there were still wizards available to guide them.
They brought the three of them to the Resource Allocation Hall, and after a series of procedures, each of them was assigned a mentor. However, unfortunately, none of them received a golden flying letter.
Kudou’s mentor was ‘Rose Crown’ Liana. Although Liana was more famous for her alchemy potion studies in fragrance crafting, she was actually a typical nature wizard.
Rococo’s mentor was ‘Whispering Shadow’ Duncan, a summoning wizard who specialized in skeletal summoning. However, his personality didn’t quite match with Rococo’s. But there was no choice, as Duncan was the only summoning wizard willing to send Rococo a flying letter, so they had to make do.
Finally, Babaya’s mentor was ‘Violent Thorn’ Madeline, a witch whose name Angel heard for the first time.
After the introduction by the custodian of the Resource Allocation Hall, they learned that Madeline was a bloodline side wizard. She had merged with a rare plant bloodline, and her surname was Silian. This was a wizard family’s surname near the Guman Kingdom. Not long ago, the Silian family was exterminated, and the sole survivor, Madeline, joined the Savage Grottoes.
Babaya was the first disciple she formally accepted after joining the Savage Grottoes.
Angel was more familiar with Liana and Duncan. Although they had the pride of wizards, they rarely took it out on their apprentices. Kudou and Rococo should be safe reporting to them, as long as they didn’t do anything out of line.
Angel pointed them in the general direction and then let the two of them leave with their flying letters.
As for Babaya’s mentor, Angel was somewhat uneasy. He didn’t know what kind of personality this witch named Madeline had. If she were like ‘Miniature World’ Dulmatin, who enjoyed dissecting living subjects and was extremely cruel to his apprentices, then that would be troublesome.
After all, Babaya was the key to repaying the High Priest’s favor and the most important person among the three talented individuals in Angel’s eyes. If anything were to happen to her, it would be difficult to explain to the High Priest.
Angel thought about it and took Babaya to the underground market’s Butterfly Bar. He spent a magic crystal and obtained some information about Madeline.
Although the Butterfly Bar had some insider information about why the Silian wizard family was exterminated, the price was too high, and Angel wasn’t interested in learning about these so-called gossip. Therefore, he didn’t buy it.
After looking at Madeline’s basic information and general situation, Angel felt a little more at ease.
On the surface, Madeline seemed to have completely assimilated into the Savage Grottoes, and there were no rumors of her mistreating apprentices. Based on some rumors, Madeline was a wizard who tended to be more “lawful.”
Although he couldn’t fully determine Madeline’s inclination, there was no such thing as a black-and-white wizard, so there was no need to be picky.
After sending Babaya away, Angel stretched lazily and returned to Phantom Island.
In fact, he had expected early on that none of the three of them would receive the golden invitation.
Their bodies were small, with two or three Kulakuka people able to stand on one’s palm, making them inherently weaker than regular talented individuals. Even if they became proficient, they would still be at the bottom of their class unless they found their own path.
Therefore, many wizards chose not to take them as formal students, which was quite normal.
However, Angel thought that being small had its advantages, at least in terms of agility, which ordinary people couldn’t match. If they really wanted to grow bigger, it wasn’t impossible in the Wizarding World. For example, injecting some giant bloodline would ensure they wouldn’t be smaller than humans.
Ultimately, it depended on their individual efforts and determination.
As for the notion that their small size meant they absorbed less magic power and thus had an easier time advancing, it wasn’t correct. The mental space and the soul realm were vague concepts that weren’t determined by the size of one’s physical body. Thus, once the Kulakuka began their cultivation, the amount of magic power they absorbed wasn’t less than that of humans.
When Angel returned to the manor, he found Toby had transformed into a griffin again, being trained by Gloria in the courtyard.
Toby immediately put on a pitiful look and whimpered for help as soon as he saw Angel.
Unfortunately, Angel had just been won over by Gloria’s Mermaid Shell Soup, so he could only grimace and give Toby a “there’s nothing I can do” expression.
However, instead of trying to persuade Gloria, it was Gloria who took the initiative to talk to Angel.
“I just heard from Goode that you took three Kulakuka tribe talents for registration? Where are they?” Gloria asked curiously.
Angel didn’t know why Gloria was curious about their whereabouts, but it wasn’t a secret, so he told her where the three of them had gone.
After listening, Gloria raised her eyebrows at Angel: “In fact, you could have kept them in the Phantom Island lineage and just let them cultivate on their own with some guidance spells. Now you’re pushing them under the guidance of outsiders, and if they ever achieve something in the future, won’t you feel heartache?”
Angel was stunned, and he hadn’t thought that Gloria was actually considering him.
He hadn’t considered the issue Gloria mentioned, but he didn’t care either. Even if Babaya and the others achieved something, it would be due to their own cultivation. Why would he feel heartache? Moreover, their relatives were still under Angel’s control, so they naturally had an inseparable connection with Angel.
Most importantly—
When taking them away from the Living Soul Garden, Angel had made all of them swear an oath. Although there was a prerequisite, under the constraint of the oath, even if they became rebellious, they couldn’t betray Angel.
So, Angel really didn’t care about whose guidance they were under.
After listening to Angel’s explanation, Gloria didn’t continue to inquire about this issue but brought up another matter: “I heard that you plan to leave the Savage Grottoes and visit your family?”
Angel looked at Gloria with a strange expression, as he had never revealed to her that he was planning to leave.
Gloria felt a little awkward under Angel’s gaze, coughed twice, and then slapped Angel’s shoulder forcefully: “You and that girl were talking so loudly outside just now, who couldn’t hear you!”
That girl… undoubtedly, it was Nausica.
Angel was speechless and after a while, he said faintly: “If I remember correctly, Nausica and I were talking in front of the fence at the edge of the estate just now, while Lady Gloria was still in the kitchen making soup. We were at least several hundred meters apart!”
Gloria: “You know I was making soup, so when I make soup, I have to enhance my hearing to listen to the bubbling sound of the soup. So accidentally hearing it is normal.”
Angel: “But… the materials used for building the teacher’s estate are made of completely soundproof Paramjit Blackstone.”
Gloria: “…” Can’t you just let it go?
Gloria put away the whip she used to train Toby and sat down on a nearby sun lounger: “Alright, I was eavesdropping, you’re even being petty about this little matter.”
Toby saw Gloria’s whip being put away, his eyes brightened, and he stretched out his fluffy paw to give Angel a secret thumbs-up, not knowing where he had learned it from—when giving a thumbs-up, one must open one eye and close the other.
Angel walked to Toby’s side, leaning directly on its fluffy mane, and said to Gloria: “That’s right, I plan to go home for these two months. Does Lady Gloria have any business?”
Gloria: “Nothing big, just a small matter. About the illusionary realm I asked you to craft…”
Angel nodded: “Please rest assured, my lady, I already have an idea and should be able to craft it before I leave.”
Gloria nodded: “That’s good, I’m looking forward to the surprise you’ll bring me.” She paused and continued: “Although my Barbie Restaurant is temporarily closed, if I approve of the illusionary realm you craft for me, I promise to fulfill a request worthy of at least a Barbie Restaurant gold card VIP.”
Angel was stunned, as this reward truly surprised him. Gloria’s gold card VIP level meals were even delicacies that would make true knowledge-level wizards lose their composure!
“This time, you are not the same ordinary person swayed by a group of wizards at Barbie Restaurant. So, you can have me customize a meal exclusively for you.” Gloria winked at Angel: “Of course, getting my approval isn’t that simple, it must have the same impact as the last illusionary realm with a sense of the Nightmare Plane, or else I won’t recognize it.”
Angel suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded to Gloria: “I will do my best.”
“Then I will wait and see.”
Angel did not linger in the courtyard for long, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then left. Before leaving, Angel suddenly paused and turned back to ask: “Why would Lady Gloria stay on Phantom Island? Between you and Mentor…”
“Don’t talk nonsense, I have no interest in introverted men. I have an agreement with your mentor, and until that agreement is fulfilled, I will follow him.”
As for what kind of agreement, Angel had asked a similar question in the Blooming Manor of Mechanical City but did not get an answer. So, Angel didn’t continue to inquire this time, nodded to Gloria, and turned to leave.
