He was in an extremely luxurious hall.
Wine red curtains inlaid with gold, crystal chandeliers, embroidered carpets, dark candlesticks made of unknown materials, and a starry veil hanging above his head. All of these indicated how luxurious the hall was.
It was just like the banquets Kudou read about in books, which were usually built by nobles to show off their family's wealth.
While Kudodododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododo
Kudou looked up and saw a group of teacups playing around the chandeliers in the air. It was obviously a cute teacup, but it grew slender hands and feet, playing the piano and the bagpipes. There were also performers who were swaying to the music.
One second ago, he thought he was in a noble's banquet hall, and the next second, he felt like he was in a magic room in a fairy tale.
Kudou had no idea what was going on, so he could only look at the red-haired man not far away.
Previously, the red-haired man was still standing at the entrance of the cramped room. Now, he was sitting on the mahogany sofa, lazily leaning against the armrest. He was not reserved at all, as if he had returned to his own home.
"Tester?" Kudou stomped his feet and dashed to the tea table in front of the red-haired man. He looked at the red-haired man in confusion. "My test is held here?"
Angor looked at Kudou who was standing on the plate. Kudou's expression was just as honest as before, and he even looked a little silly. He stood on the white porcelain plate as if he was the main dish in this spacious magic room.
Did he really think this was some kind of test? Angor chuckled.
He was going to play along with Kudou's words. However, when he saw Kudou's serious expression and the longing in his eyes, Angor decided not to tease him.
"This isn't a test, Kudou. Look at who I am first. "As soon as he finished speaking, every inch of his muscles began to wriggle.
Kudodododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododo Before he realized it, Kudou tried to move further away, but the spoon's handle blocked his way.
It took Kudou a while to realize what was going on. He stood up and tried to run away. However, before he could do anything, a light blue illusory hand grabbed him in the palm of his hand.
"I thought you were brave. Since when did you become so timid?" Angor controlled the hand and forced Kudou to turn around.
Kudou was forced to look at the "monster" behind him. But when he saw the person's face, he was surprised.
The scene of the strange muscles moving around was gone. Sitting in front of him was a handsome golden-haired man. He was somewhere between a teenager and a young man. He had the youthful aura of a rising sun, but also the maturity and steadiness of the noon sun.
Kudou didn't recognize the man in front of him, but he couldn't be more familiar.
"Papa — Mister Padt!" Kudodo's face lit up with joy. But in the next second, he seemed to be afraid of being deceived. "Are you really Mister Padt? Or is this just an illusion? "
"You're more cautious than before. Looks like you've been through a lot lately." Angor didn't explain. He simply flicked a finger and summoned the illusion of a tall building beside Kudou.
Kudodou was very familiar with this place. Back in Angor's bracelet, all the Krakoks lived in this very building.
No one else knew about this. In other words, the man in front of him was Mister Padt!
Kudou was happy to see Angor's real identity. But he soon realized something, and all the emotions in his heart turned into words.
But just as he was about to express his emotions, Kudodou suddenly stopped. He didn't know whether he should tell Angor or not. After all, this had nothing to do with Angor.
What Kudou didn't know was that Angor had already seen all of Kudou's emotions.
"So Kudou is hiding something important from me, just like Leona said."
Since Kudou didn't say anything, Angor decided to speak first. "I'm here because I have something to ask you. But before that, why did you think I'm an invigilator? "
Kudodo spent most of his time traveling between different adventurer groups, but he still knew that Angor had become a wizard and was no longer a nobody. Despite Angor's gentle tone, Kudou didn't dare to ignore him.
"I submitted an application to join the Tiger Armor adventurer team two days ago, and they invited me here today. That's why I mistook you for one of the team's examiners," Kudodou said, lowering his head in embarrassment.
"You're still a beginner. You're not even a mid-level level-1 apprentice yet. All your cantrips are level-0 ones. You should focus on your training instead of going on adventures.
"Of course, it's not wrong to go on adventures. But you should know that they're very dangerous. With your current level, I reckon that you can't even defeat a mortal knight. What are you going to use to take the risk? "
Brute Cavern supported adventuring apprentices. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many field quests in the questing hall. However, the minimum requirement to accept a field quest was to be a level-1 apprentice or above. Only after reaching this level could an apprentice learn more cantrips and become strong enough to survive in the wild.
Before that, apprentices could only accept quests from the organization even if they needed money.
Of course, this was only an unspoken rule. There were also ordinary level-1 apprentices who went on adventures. They might not be able to accept a field quest, but they could still go with an adventurer group, which was an exception. Obviously, Kudodou was in the same situation.
"You know Vonman, right? I heard he's really popular in Sky Tower. He's almost a public enemy among apprentices. "
Kudou nodded. He hadn't been to Sky Tower yet, but he knew who Vonman was.
"I brought him to Brute Cavern as well. He entered the supernatural world later than you did. But he's already a level higher than you. Maybe he'll become a level-2 apprentice soon. " Angor continued, "If you keep going with adventurer groups, you'll be left behind by your peers."
Kudou lowered his head in frustration. "B-but I'm really short on money. I can only earn magic crystals by joining an adventurer group. "
