"Toby!" Greya lifted her hand. The seabird sitting on Angor's head fluttered its wings and landed on Greya's hand.
"Toby has been with me ever since it was born. It was a new life that I inadvertently synthesized with an ordinary seabird as the main material, mixed with a variety of phantom spirits and precious materials. Since it was born, I tried to simulate the situation at that time, trying to create a similar magical beast again, but it was to no avail. You can say that Toby is one of a kind. "Greya looked at Toby with a gentle look.
"Toby has been with me all these years. It doesn't have special powers like other monsters, but it's very intelligent. Now, Toby can understand human language, and its spirit power capacity is almost the same as an apprentice's. "
Angor already had a feeling that Greya was going to "entrust her son" to Angor.
"Barbie's Restaurant travels from place to place in search of ingredients all year round. Toby is safe with me around. But this time, I've reached the critical point of leveling up. A Gourmet Wizard needs a large number of unique ingredients and recipes. I've been searching the southern region for hundreds of years. I'm sure I missed some, but I've already incorporated them into my system. Even so, I still don't have enough ingredients for leveling up.
"So, I've decided to leave the southern region and travel to a faraway place or an unknown general plane. I've never considered it before. But I've been stuck at this point for hundreds of years. If I don't find a direction soon, I'm afraid I won't have another chance in the future. So, I've decided to give it a try. "
Greya used a soundproof barrier, so Angor was the only one who could hear what she said.
"The journey ahead is full of dangers. I can't guarantee Toby's safety, so I hope you can let Toby stay with you while I'm away. "
Greya stared at Angor. She had many options. For example, she could leave Toby at Candy House or ask a close friend to take care of him. However, Toby refused to go anywhere and insisted on staying with Greya. After some persuasion, Toby reluctantly chose someone else.
It was not a friend of Greya's. It was someone she had only met once before — Angor.
Greya didn't know why Toby chose Angor, but when she thought about Angor's character, as well as Angor's potential future, she didn't say anything. Since Angor was leaving with Sunders tomorrow, she came to The Redbud under the cover of night.
Toby also understood Greya's words. He looked at Angor with his bright little eyes, as if waiting for an answer.
Angor: So she's asking me to take care of him. It's not enough to take care of him for the rest of his life, but it's not far from it …
Angor's eyes.... Angor's...........................................
Angor had no answer to any of these questions.
But it was Greya, a "real wizard" whom even Sunders considered "worthy of respect".
Flora also told him to maintain a good relationship with Greya.
Angor clenched his teeth. Whatever. Things were already like this. It could not get any worse. Even if he could not satisfy Sunders, with Toby's help, maybe Sunders would not embarrass him too much for Greya's sake.
"Okay. I'll take good care of Toby until Mister Sunders comes back."
Greya couldn't help but giggle when she saw the desperate look on Angor's face.
"Don't be so serious. Like I'm pressuring you with my power." Greya tidied up her hair. "Don't worry. Toby is easy to take care of. When we get back to the continent, you don't have to worry about Toby's food. He'll find his own way. Besides, Toby is smart. With his help, he might even take care of you. "
Greya looked at Toby in her hand and did not move her eyes away for a long time.
The atmosphere quieted down.
Angor could tell from Greya's expression that she loved Toby very much.
Angor was a little jealous. He had a teacher and a big brother in the mortal world. But in the wizarding world, would he still find someone he could trust in life and death?
After a long time, Greya slowly put away her sad expression and released Toby.
Toby hovered above her head for a long time.
"Go."
Toby hesitated for a moment and slowly landed on top of Angor's head.
"My hair is messed up again … I'll have to fix it when I get back!" Angor thought to himself.
"Thank you for taking care of Toby before I come back," said Greya.
Greya was about to leave. But before she left, she gave Angor a capsule-shaped soft bubble.
"This is a space capsule made from microbes living in the greyspace wall of a plane. You can store a lot of items. But it's a one-time use. There are some daily necessities for Toby, as well as your reward for taking care of Toby. Crush the capsule and you can take them out. "
With that, Greya was about to leave.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a confused Alan walked in while rubbing his eyes.
When Angor was talking to Mara, Alan took Aleen back to his room.
"Grandpa, Aleen's asleep. Do you need — Huh? Who are you?"
Greya didn't care about Alan's sudden intrusion since he was just a kid. But when she glanced at Ellen, a trace of surprise flashed through her eyes.
"He's your grandson?" Greya pointed at Alan and asked Mara who was standing beside her.
Mara thought Greya was blaming Alan for his recklessness and nodded with a frightened look. "Yes, he's my grandson Alan. Lady, he's still young and naive — "
Greya waved a hand and interrupted Mara.
"Let me ask you, what happened to your grandson when he was tested for his talent?"
"What happened?" Mara was confused. "He created something out of nothing. During the test, Alan saw a piece of black bread on the empty plate in front of him. "
Creating something out of nothing was one of the most common changes in Abelles' Talent Collection Annual.
"Creating something out of nothing? I don't think so. " Greya smiled and took out a metal badge from somewhere. On the badge was a small wooden house hidden in a forest, and on the back of the badge was a relief of Greya's head.
"This is my badge from the Candy House. If you're willing, you can take my badge and send him to the Candy House. After all, the Gourmet Wizard of the Candy House is the second best in the southern region."
Of course, Mara understood what Greya was trying to say.
Alan had the talent to become a gourmet wizard? Mara looked at the chubby boy. His favorite grandson had the talent to become a gourmet wizard?
Recalling Allen's usual interests, he was either eating or looking for something to eat.
Even the mirage that appeared today because of Barbie's restaurant, Allen was deeply trapped in it, and he was not controlled by his appetite to do anything out of line.
Mara would not think too much about these signs before. He just thought his grandson was growing and eating more was a good thing. Now that Greya pointed it out, Alan's talent was obvious.
As expected, the onlooker could not see clearly.
After Greya left, Mara began to feel conflicted.
Should he send Alan to Candy House to become a gourmet wizard?
Gourmet wizards were Occultists, but they were always weak in the wizarding world due to their weak fighting power. Many Sorcerer-Apprentices who walked the path of gourmet food, because they had not advanced to official Sorcerers and their combat power was weak, would rather rely on the strong and become the cook of the strong. Although their status was not necessarily low, it was not high either.
Alan had the talent to become a gourmet, so he could choose not to follow this path. It was all up to him.
With Greya's recommendation, at least Alan would not become a nobody in Candy House. However, it was too difficult to become a powerful wizard in the gourmet path. Mara did not want his grandson to become someone else's chef at all.
What a dilemma!
