Originally, Tree Spirit had his eyes closed and his thoughts were focused on his clone in the Stellar Pond Ruins. However, when he sensed the heavy movement of the veins under the recliner, Tree Spirit suddenly opened his eyes.
He saw Angor walking toward him with a man. The man had a bulky build and was not wearing anything on his upper body. His muscles were covered with colorful tattoos, and he was giving off a powerful aura.
At first glance, he looked like a barbarian from a primitive tribe.
"What? You left for a while and now you're back with someone else? Or is he going to join your research project? "
Angor nodded. "Yes, he's going to join my research project. But it's a different one."
Tree Spirit raised an eyebrow. "You have a lot of research projects?"
"Only one, actually. But he's in charge of some small, unimportant research at the bottom of the project."
"Even the information exchange you mentioned is just a small research project?"
"Sort of."
Tree Spirit's curiosity was piqued, but he knew that Angor wasn't going to tell him, so he didn't ask.
Tree Spirit looked at Balba and asked him to show him his bone card. While he was updating Balba's mission, he said, "So you're saying that you'll need a lot of people for your research this time, right? I can help you recruit some people over to your side. "
"Yes, I do. But I'm not in a hurry. Let's wait a few days."
Once Angor told Tree Spirit about the dream wasteland, Tree Spirit wouldn't even need to ask him to do so.
As for now, Tree Spirit might not be qualified to enter the dream wasteland. It was better to wait for a few more days.
As for Papaya and the other apprentices, Angor knew them well, so he didn't have to worry about sending them into the dream wasteland.
Tree Spirit didn't know why Angor wanted to wait, but it wasn't important. If Angor wanted to find someone, he would still have to register a mission with him. He would know when the time came.
"What's the reward you're going to give him?" Tree Spirit gestured at Balba with his lips.
"Magic crystals, I guess. As for the exact amount, I'll tell him in detail when the time comes. "
Tree Spirit tapped on the bone card in Balba's hand, and the mission record on the bone card was updated.
Not only had he received the contribution points from building the Rose Church, but he had also received a new mission, which was to join the red-haired man's long-term research.
Balba remembered that the red-haired man said that he was here for a construction mission. How did it turn into a research mission? However, Balba didn't dare to ask. His previous judgment that the red-haired man was a powerful being was proven to be correct. Judging from Tree Spirit's attitude towards him, it was clear that he was not an apprentice.
An official sorcerer or a truth-finder sorcerer?
Either way, Balba couldn't afford to offend them. Hence, he did not dare to ask any questions. He could only lower his head and pray that this unfamiliar Magus would be easy to get along with.
The best outcome would be to complete the mission smoothly, and everyone would be safe. The worst would probably be that the other party would hate him for being a mixed-blood from another world … If it really came to that, he would have no choice but to self-destruct.
Even if self-detonation wouldn't threaten the man's life, and even if Balba desperately wanted to live, activating his parasite bloodline was the only way he could save his dignity.
Tree Spirit noticed that Balba's face was pale and grim after he finished updating the bone card.
Tree Spirit quickly understood what Balba was thinking.
It seemed that Angor didn't tell Balba his true identity yet. Of course, Tree Spirit wasn't going to tell Balba about it. Besides, he found Balba's anxious expression quite interesting.
"Are Papaya and the others coming?" Because they were going to leave the mirror world through the teleportation array in the Tree Spirit Palace, they agreed to meet in the Tree Spirit Palace.
"Papaya is already here. She's in the hall outside. As for Kudou … he should be here soon."
Tree Spirit's tone sounded a little strange when he mentioned Kudou.
Did something happen to Angor?
Before Angor could figure it out, the door behind him was pushed open. He turned around and saw a graceful figure walking toward him against the light.
Even though he could not see the woman's face clearly due to the backlight, the familiar rose scent told him who she was.
"Rose Crown" Leona!
As expected, Angor saw the familiar illusion of a shower of rose petals around the woman. There was no doubt that Leona was the one who loved the roses so much.
Apart from Leona, Kudou and Papaya were also following behind her. Papaya didn't show any expression, but Kudou looked like he was about to cry. He didn't even dare to look at Angor.
Angor quickly realized what was going on.
"I saw you a few days ago, and I already felt something strange about you. Now I see that my intuition was right." Leona walked to him and inspected him from head to toe. "You look like the same person from inside to outside. Lazy, lazy, and undisciplined. It seems that this is the true request in your heart? Then you're really different from your professor. "
Without a doubt, Leona already knew who he was.
"It's just an act. Who knows if I'm being sincere or not?"
Angor glanced at Kudodou. "Did Kudodou tell you?"
Leona shook her head. "No. But he's a different spirit now. After being depressed for so long, he's finally getting positive again. Think about it, and I know who you are. "
Leona was the one who asked Angor to find Kudou, so she was sensitive enough to notice the change in Kudou's mood.
"I can't hide it from you." Angor nodded without hesitation.
Leona grinned. "I don't care why you're hiding your identity. But I'm curious. What kind of research are you doing with Kudou?"
"You didn't come here just to ask about that, did you?"
"You're right. I have something I need your help with," Leona said. "But it's something I want to know as well. After all, Kudoudou is my student, and he has no ambition nor progress. I'm curious, what kind of research do you want this trash to do for you? "
Kudou lowered his head even more. If he wasn't standing on a tree branch, he would probably be buried under the ground.
"A small research project. You asked me to talk to Mister Rein when I return to Brute Cavern, right? My research has something to do with it. "
Leona was surprised. "You mean … the crystal ball?"
Angor nodded. "To be precise, it's information exchange. I need some people to help me with my research. Kudou and Papaya are both good candidates. "
