As a matter of fact, Angor hoped that Papaya was a Bloodline talent as well. That way, Papaya would be able to solve the bloodline problem for the Krakoks.
Judging from how Papaya treated her grandmother and loved her own kind, Angor could tell that she was a very responsible woman. Maybe she really could take care of the Krakoks' destiny.
Angor was glad that he managed to identify three new talents this time. He left the kitchen and went to the greenhouse to meet them.
Apart from Papaya, the other two Krakoks were a man and a woman. Kudodo was an honest young man. If Angor remembered correctly, Kudodo was the second person apart from Papaya to submit to him. Kudodo had his eyes on Papaya, and when he saw Papaya kneeling before Angor, Kudodo did the same.
It could be said that Kudoudou was an honest looking young man, but he was actually quite clever.
The other woman was Lococo, who was a Summoner. She didn't stand out too much. She quickly hid behind Papaya and held a stuffed toy in her hands while looking at Angor in fear.
Angor didn't know who she was. Maybe she was just a shy girl.
Angor told them about the meaning of being a talent, as well as the cruelty and excitement of the wizarding world. While the three Krakoks were still waiting for Angor's answer, Angor told them about the Krakoks' destiny.
According to Angor's observation, Kudodo was hesitant and reluctant to accept such an important mission, but he still nodded in the end. Lococo, on the other hand, completely ignored it and immersed herself in her little girl's world.
Papaya, on the other hand, was the only one who looked determined. Angor could tell that she was determined to solve the bloodline problem of the Krakoks.
Angor nodded in his mind. Maybe Papaya was the only one who could take on the mission.
"It's good that you understand. This is the only reason why you left the ancestral land and followed me. It is also the mission of your branch clan. You may have other dreams, but before you complete this mission, put them down and shoulder this responsibility on your shoulders. Do you understand? "
"Yes, sir." Apart from Papaya, the other Krakoks responded.
"Yes, sir!" Angor raised his voice again. The three Krakoks thought Angor was angry, so they all responded in unison.
Angor nodded. To be honest, he didn't think the other two talents apart from Papaya were very reliable.
"Papaya, stay here. I have something to tell you. Lococo and Kudodo, you two go to the door first. I'll take you to your identity records so that you can officially join Brute Cavern. "
When Papaya was still feeling a little uneasy, he spoke again. "I've already told you about the bloodline problem, and your Grand Priestess has already told you about it. What I want to ask is, are you really willing to take on this responsibility and help the Krakoks survive this disaster? "
Papaya nodded without hesitation. "It's my responsibility. I won't say no!"
Papaya's eyes were filled with determination, and Angor could sense the determination in her eyes.
"Alright. Since you're willing to do that, I have something else to tell you." Angor nodded.
"Remember, don't tell anyone what I'm about to tell you. Or —" Angor was going to threaten Papaya, but he decided against it. "Never mind. I trust you'll make the right choice after I tell you what I'm about to tell you."
Under Papaya's curious gaze, Angor slowly spoke up again.
It took him a while to finish. Papaya's rosy face was now as pale as a ghost.
"Sir … Sir … Are you serious?" Papaya's voice was trembling. Her delicate face was as pale as death.
"Of course," Angor replied in a plain tone.
Papaya was on the verge of collapsing. After a while, she knelt on the ground. Tears rolled down her cheeks and dripped onto the hem of her green dress, which looked like tender leaves that were soaked by morning dew.
Angor could understand how she felt. Anyone would react the same way if they found out that their ancestors' souls were taken away by some unknown magic array and turned into Soul Orbs.
Angor told Papaya the truth that the Grand Priest tried to hide from her.
When they left the Soul Genesis Garden, the Grand Priest only told them that there was a problem with their bloodline and asked them to leave so that they could find a solution. However, the Grand Priest didn't tell them what the problem was.
Now, Angor was merely tearing off the old man's cover.
The Grand Priest wasn't entirely to blame for their decision. It could only be said that it was fate. Isabelle had saved them during the war. In order to repay Isabelle, they had made this choice.
They didn't know how serious the consequences would be back then. However, the Grand Priest, who had been protecting the law of living souls all this time, realized how terrible the problem was.
That was why they begged Angor to save them from the abyss.
Papaya's tears kept falling. She suddenly looked up and asked in a trembling voice, "Were my parents turned into Soul Orbs as well?"
Angor looked down at her without saying a word.
Papaya forced a bitter smile. Silence was the best answer she could get.
"What if my grandmother dies? Will she be taken into the magic array too?"
Angor nodded. "No matter how far away you are, as long as your bloodline problem isn't solved, your souls will go to the magic array under Hippocratic."
Papaya trembled and lowered her head, allowing her long hair to cover her face.
After a long time, she slowly stood up and put on a serious look. "I, Papaya, swear that I will solve the bloodline problem for my people. I will!" She slowly stood up and spoke in a serious tone. "I, Papaya, swear that I will solve the bloodline problem for my people. If I change my mind, my body will fall into darkness forever, and my soul will perish for all eternity! "
Angor was surprised.
He listened to Papaya's vow. It was as if Papaya had grown ten years older in just a short time. It wasn't just her face. Her heart and soul were all changing.
For a moment, he saw Nausica's shadow on the palm-sized figure.
Both of them were strong women who couldn't be defeated no matter how hard they tried.
Angor suddenly broke the silence and said, "Let's go.
"Do you blame the Grand Priest?"
Papaya swallowed several times. She was trying to figure out what was right and wrong. In the end, she sighed.
"No, I don't."
Angor nodded and didn't ask why. He was glad that Papaya was able to see the truth without being affected by her emotions.
If Papaya couldn't accept reality, she wouldn't be able to go far in the wizarding world.
"Let's go. I'll take you to the Tree Spirit Hall." Angor considered for a moment. "Calm down and wipe your tears. Remember, don't tell anyone what I said today."
Papaya nodded.
…
Before leaving the Tree Spirit Palace, Angor handed the three bone cards to the three apprentices, each about the size of a grain.
Tree Spirit's joking voice was still echoing in Angor's ears. "You just brought someone here not long ago, and now you've brought three more. Why don't you accept this year's guidebook quest? "
A guide's mission was a mission that both adepts and apprentices would avoid at all costs.
The reward was great, but it would take a long time to complete. It wasn't cost-effective at all, and there might not be enough talents in the end. As a result, the number of apprentices who accepted the quest in the questing hall would plummet. Apprentices were already short on time, so who would accept such a difficult and unrewarding quest?
In the end, Rein had no choice but to give the guidebook quest to wizards since they had a long lifespan. At this point, the official Magi also began to act shamelessly. There were also Magi who pretended to be sick and acted shamelessly. There were also Magi who simply escaped to other planes.
For example, Wallace was supposed to accept the guide quest last time, but he kept pretending to be weak. Later, Sunders decided to accept Wallace's offer as a favor to Rein since he needed to find Greya's Barbie's Restaurant.
It was obvious that the guidebook quest wasn't very popular.
Tree Spirit was joking, but Angor still decided to accept the quest after a moment of consideration.
He took out his bone card and saw the guide mission on it. His name was "Angor".
With Tree Spirit's authority, Angor accepted the quest without having to go to the questing hall.
The minimum requirement for a guidebook quest was five people.
Apart from the three Krakoks he brought here today, Tree Spirit also included Dodoro, who was brought here not long ago. So far, Angor had guided four people, which meant he had completed 80% of the quest.
Calculating the time, as long as he could bring back another talent within two years, he would have passed the Guiding Mission.
Since he was going back to the Old Earth anyway, he still had to go to the Land of Revelation to look for the "Dream Whelk of the Moonlight Coast" hidden by Freud. There were a lot of continents on his way, so he should be able to find a good guidebook.
With such a good idea in mind, he accepted the guide mission.
