Inside the Ocean Theater.
Papaya and her two companions followed a young boy to an office behind the theater.
"They're here, Mister Jon." Alda bowed to Jon's desk.
Chown looked up and smiled at Alda, signaling him to leave. Then, he turned his attention to the two little ones and Balba, who was exuding a wild aura.
"You're Angor's assistants?" Jon looked at them carefully and grinned. "You're Angor's assistants?"
Balba didn't feel anything when he saw Jon's smile. He just nodded.
Papaya and Kudodo, on the other hand, felt a chill down their spines. For some reason, Jon was looking at them in a strange way.
Since they were dwarfs, most people would only look at them out of curiosity. However, the old man in front of them was not only curious, but also curious.
"I never thought I'd see Thumbelina in real life. What an interesting world," Jon muttered in his mind and looked at Papaya and Kudodo in a more "friendly" way.
"Mister Jon, Freud told us to come to you and tell us that you're going to give us a task. May I know what it is?" Balba asked.
"Freud told me your name is Balba, right? You're in charge of construction? "Jon looked at Balba, whose skin was slightly darker than usual.
Balba's first thought was, When did Freud tell Jon about this?
However, Balba soon got rid of the idea. Maybe Freud was using Distant Sound? No matter how they informed Jon, it was a good thing anyway. Jon knew their information, which at least saved them the time to introduce themselves.
"Yes."
After getting Balba's confirmation, Jon said in a low voice, "Your mission is to build a new city. However, it'll take some time before the construction starts. You should spend the next few days familiarizing yourself with the blueprints. I'll give you the detailed ones later. "
Balba nodded. He didn't know what "new city" was yet, but it sounded like a construction task. As long as he had the blueprints, he could do it.
Jon looked at Papaya and Kudodou after telling Balba what to do.
"As for your task, I'll ask Bobota to show you around later. However, before I familiarize myself with the mission, I'm very curious about your identities … "Chown said with a smile." You don't mind chatting with me? "
Jon's smile made the two kids tremble a little. They already felt that Jon was looking at them in a strange way, and now, they felt a little scared.
In Papaya's and Kudodo's minds, Jon had already turned from a nice old man into a terrifying Dr. Horrible in a creepy environment. Even the faintly discernible smile at the corner of his mouth seemed to carry a trace of blood.
"M-Mister Jon … Jon …" Kudodo trembled. "Are you a Karabit?"
Kudodou had heard that the Karabits were a race that was extremely curious about life. They liked to study living creatures and had a nasty personality. 'Grafting Maniac' Tung and 'Basket Witch' Shalu were both Karabits, and these two witches loved research and were cruel by nature.
Therefore, when Kudodododododododododododododododododododododododo
"Karabit? I've heard about it before, but I've never seen you before. I'm actually a wise — well, as you call me, a knowledgeable person, "Jon explained." What? You want to know who I am? "
Kudodo sighed in relief when he heard that Jon was not a Karabit. But he still looked at Jon cautiously. "No, not at all. I just think you're a person who loves to study. "
Jon rubbed his chin and nodded. "You're right. I'm studying you right now, aren't I?"
Kudodo's mind went blank.
Studying?! I knew it! He wants to study us!
When Kudodo was doing quests in the Questing Hall, he heard that "Miniature World" Dumartin often harvested brains for experiments. Almost none of his assistants could escape the fate of having their brains harvested. That was why Kudodo never dared to do any of Dumartin's quests, no matter how good the rewards were.
Now, he felt like crying. Although he escaped from Dumartin, he seemed to have entered Jon's magic net.
He's not going to dissect us, is he?
Kudodo was already imagining all kinds of cruel scenarios in his mind. Before Jon could say anything, Kudodo's face turned pale.
"Don't just ask me. You two should answer my questions." Perhaps it was the first time Jon saw a thumb-sized human being, so he did not notice the complicated feelings of Kudodo and Papaya.
"We, we … Actually, we're just a very ordinary race. Yes, a very, very ordinary race. Our population is very small, and we're almost extinct …" Kudodou said with a sad face. He tried to come up with all kinds of excuses to stop Jon from "studying" them.
However, no matter what Kudodou said, Chown just looked at him with a smile, as if he was a demon who was trying to figure out how to cook them.
Just as Kudodou felt that he was about to fall into a dark purgatory, Jon suddenly paused.
He took out a strange-looking branch from a drawer.
Everyone present sensed that the branch was emitting strange energy waves. They could receive the signal in the waves, but no one could read the content of the signal.
Jon looked at the three people in front of him and saw that they were all staring at the branch in his hand. He frowned and muttered to himself, "It amplifies the energy waves, but it also reduces the privacy. I need to be careful. I'll discuss it with Bobota later."
Next, Jon placed the branch between his eyebrows.
Under the confused gazes of the crowd, Chown maintained this posture for about two to three minutes before he slowly put down the branch and looked up with a regretful expression.
"Angor just told me that he wants you three to go outside the city. I'll arrange your tasks after you come back. "
Kudodo and Papaya's eyes lit up. What they wanted the most right now was to leave this place as soon as possible.
Their joy was written all over their faces. They even ignored the second half of Jon's sentence.
Balba, on the other hand, was still thinking about Jon's words. Jon had called Mister Padt by his name twice, which meant that Jon's status was at least as high as Mister Padt's.
Someone with a higher status than Mister Padt should be famous in the wizarding world. Balba searched through his mind, but he couldn't think of anyone who looked like Jon.
Who is he?
Also, Baluba noted, Jon received the news through a branch.
There was no supernatural energy wave coming from the branch. How could it send a message? Did Freud use the same branch to send a message to Jon?
Balba remembered that Angor mentioned studying information exchange in the Tree Spirit Palace. Did he mean this branch?
