Half of the Month of Freezing Earth had passed, which meant that winter was coming.
Normally, some people would freeze to death during this time of the year. But this time, with the help of the temperature-preserving rune, no one suffered from frostbite or even frostbite.
"There are many things that Lord Sorcerer can do in this world." The sailor, who was wearing thin clothes, said to his partner on duty beside him, "It can create a warm sun in the cold, a cool breeze in the hot summer, a flood can be diverted, and a drought can cover the sun … It is omnipotent."
Another sailor, who was also wearing thin clothing, said, "If Lord Adept is so powerful, then why has Lord Roman never protected us during the cold?"
"Probably …" The sailor who brought up the topic didn't know what to say.
Tulu, who was fishing on the railing at the front of the ship, looked at the two people who were chatting. "Most wizards are selfish. It's already a great virtue that they don't harm others. You want them to protect you? In your dreams! "
The two sailors exchanged a look. "But Mister Padt is different from Mister Roman."
Tulu's eyes lit up when he heard Mister Padt's name. "We're lucky to meet Mister Padt. Not every wizard is as kind and friendly as Mister Padt. "
"Da Da Da" sounds of footsteps came from not far away.
Everyone turned around and saw Helen in her blue and white uniform walking toward them.
"Wizards are humans too. But most of them don't see us as humans," Helen continued. Helen chimed in, "But, just like pirates and us, there's good and evil on both sides of the sea. The same goes for wizards. Some are good, and some are bad. Mister Padt is one of the best."
"If I can become a wizard, I'll be a good one too," Tulu added.
"Don't even think about it, Tulu. Mister Roman would've taken you to the headquarters if you could. "The sailors laughed.
Tulu pouted. "Maybe he didn't notice me because it was too dark."
Normally, the White Clam Shipping Company would bring any talented apprentices back to Floating Mech City. Mortals who stayed here would be mortals for the rest of their lives.
Helen knew that she didn't meet the standards of a talent. However, the witch she had saved had once told her that in the world of wizards, there was no such thing as absolute. Even if he didn't reach the standard, it wasn't as if he didn't have the chance to become a talent.
In the past, Helen had never thought of going to the Transcendent World, but now she really wanted to see a more exciting and different scenery.
Not only did Mister Padt live in that world, but her idol, Mister Asbel, was also active in that world.
Even if that was the case, she still wanted to take a look. Helen knew that she wasn't very talented, but she still planned to go to Summerdew Ridge to look for Swan after she went to Ferran Continent. She wanted to see if she could enter that world.
While Helen was lost in thought, Tulu was still arguing with the outpost.
"It doesn't matter if I'm talented or not. If I become a wizard, I'll be a good one," Tulu said.
Helen smiled, revealing two shallow dimples. "The good and bad I'm talking about is only relative to the concept of us mortals. In the wizarding world, there are different ways to define good and bad. It doesn't matter if you're good or bad. The most important thing is to have a clear conscience. "
Before Tulu could react, Helen patted his head. "Don't think too much. Come with me. Mister Padt wants to see you."
"Mister Padt wants to see me?!" Tulu's eyes lit up. He was still mulling over Helen's words, but he quickly put them out of his mind. "Let's go," he said to Helen, ignoring the bait that was still jumping around on the hook.
Meanwhile, Angor, who was taking a breather on the balcony of the third floor, was looking at the scene on the deck with a smile.
Tulu's words were just like a young man who didn't know the meaning of worry. He only talked about the good and bad things in front of him.
Helen's words, however, could only be said by someone with a lot of experience. She knew how to see things from different perspectives.
Both of them were right. But if there was a chance for them to become supernaturals, Helen might have a better chance of going further than them. Helen's personality, as well as the ideas she had expressed earlier, indicated that Helen had the qualities to become an independent witch.
Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in." Angor walked into the room from the balcony and looked at the two people.
Helen lowered her head and prepared to leave, while Tulu didn't know where to put his hands.
"Helen, you stay too." Angor stopped Helen from leaving.
Helen heard Angor's words and walked into the room, but she still stayed behind Tulu.
Angor looked at Tulu. "You've been affected by that jellyfish for a while now, so you should be fine. I'm guessing that your spiritual force should be pretty good, so I want to test you to see if you have the talent to become a Magus. "
Tulu was surprised by Angor's words at first, but at the same time, his eyes were filled with worry.
He knew very well that he didn't have a high chance of becoming a wizard. Otherwise, Roman would have taken him away instead of leaving him on The Limpet. While Tulu was happy to hear Angor's words, he was more worried that he would fall from the sky into the abyss of the ocean.
Before the test, he could at least brag about his talent. But if Angor told him that he didn't have any talent, he wouldn't even have a reason to brag anymore.
Despite his worries, Tulu still held onto a sliver of hope.
Mister Padt chose him out of all people, which meant he had a chance to become a wizard too.
Tulu didn't run away. Instead, he walked up to the table and sat down across from Kieran.
Angor used Create Water to pour some water into a glass. He then lit up the oil lamp on the wall and used Hand of Spell to bring the cactus from the balcony. Finally, he took out an iron dagger and placed it on the table.
It was a simple talent test.
Abelles' Eye could only be used to determine a person's talent. If Angor wanted to estimate a person's talent, he or she would have to see if anything changed in the person's vision. That was why he placed these basic elemental elements in the room.
He placed Abelles' Eye on the table and gestured for Tulu to touch it.
Abelles' Eye was a special item given to him when he accepted the guide mission. He also gave him some basic channeling methods from Brute Cavern.
"Put your hand on the Talent Sphere and see if anything changes around you," said Angor.
Tulu gulped and glanced at Helen.
Helen gave Tulu a comforting smile.
Perhaps it was Helen's smile that eased Tulu's heavy heart. He seemed to have made up his mind and carefully placed his trembling hands on the Talent Sphere.
A ray of red light flashed across the surface of the sphere.
Helen widened her eyes in surprise. Angor raised an eyebrow.
"I knew it. Tulu is talented." Ever since he left Specter Water, Angor noticed that Tulu didn't show any signs of discomfort under the influence of the Undead Jellyfish, which meant Tulu's spirit wasn't weak at all.
Angor already had his suspicions, but he kept them to himself since he had to work on the boots. Today, when he had some free time, he called Tulu over to test his theory.
Angor didn't expect Tulu to be a real talent.
"Looks like what he said earlier was right. Roman is really blind under the light." Angor shook his head. If Tulu wasn't hiding under the light, he wouldn't have stayed on The Limpet for so long without being noticed.
"Is Tulu really talented?" Helen looked at Angor enviously.
"Yes, he is." Angor nodded without hesitation. "The Talent Sphere can't be wrong. The red light is proof of his talent. But as for what kind of talent he has, I'm not sure yet. "
A while later, Tulu woke up from his daze.
"Mister Padt, I don't think I saw anything …" Tulu looked at Angor and felt a little guilty.
Angor nodded. "It's fine. You're talented."
Tulu was still feeling down when he heard Angor's words, but he quickly raised his head.
"Mister Padt, I'm talented?!"
Angor nodded. "Yes, you are. But we still need to test your spiritual power level. But I'm sure you're talented. "
Tulu stared blankly for a while before his gloominess was swept away. His eyes were filled with ecstasy.
"I'm really talented! Awesome! " Tulu stood up excitedly and hugged Helen behind him. "Deputy Captain Helen, I'm really talented!"
Helen pushed Tulu away in annoyance. "Fine, fine. Don't be so happy."
Tulu scratched his head in embarrassment. "I'm just too excited. But I have a chance to become a good wizard!"
Helen smiled but didn't say anything. "It's not that easy to be a good wizard," Angor said. Just remember what you just said. "
After a while, Tulu finally calmed himself down and bowed to Angor. "Sir, can I learn from you from now on?"
Angor was thinking about the same thing.
He gave Tulu the test on a whim, and it turned out that his hunch was right.
However, it would take some time for him to become Tulu's guide. On the surface, Tulu was still a member of the White Clam Shipping Company. But White Clam Shipping Company was backed by Floating Mech City, which meant that White Clam Shipping Company was a regular shipping company.
Floating Mech City was a powerful organization, and Angor himself already had a good relationship with the Floating Mech City.
Plus, Tulu already had access to the most important research center of Floating Mech City. It didn't seem right to take someone from Tulu like this.
Tulu noticed Angor's hesitation and slowly lost his joy. "Can't I learn from you, mister Padt?"
Angor looked at Tulu's sad face and decided to tell him the truth about Floating Mech City.
"You're working for the White Clam Shipping Company. I don't know if I should take you with me."
Helen suddenly spoke up. "Tulu's name isn't on the company's list."
