"Tulu isn't an official member of the White Clam Shipping Company," Helen repeated as if to emphasize her point.
He looked at Helen and saw a confident look on her face. It was worth mentioning that Tulu, on the other hand, was the one who was completely dumbfounded. Why didn't I know about this?
"Three years ago, Captain Erwin brought Tulu on board The Limpet. He was only fifteen years old at the time, and he was taken away by Captain Erwin. Because of the White Clam Shipping Company's regulations, one can only be officially registered as an employee at the age of 18, so Tulu has always been a probationary employee of the company, or rather, a special employee of Captain Alwin.
"All these years, Captain Erwin paid for Tulu's salary and other living expenses out of his own pocket. Tulu is now Captain Erwin's subordinate. " Helen continued, "Captain Erwin said that he would apply for Tulu's qualification when we arrive at Ferran. But now … I don't think that's necessary."
"My salary is paid by the captain himself?" Tulu was surprised to hear that as well.
"Yes." Helen nodded.
Helen looked at Tulu in disbelief. "Sir, Tulu isn't a member of the White Clam Shipping Company. You don't have to worry about that."
He tapped the table with his finger and muttered to himself, "If that's the case … then there's no problem."
Helen quietly stomped on Tulu's boots.
Tulu was still immersed in his gratitude for Erwin's help, so he couldn't react in time and yelped in pain.
Helen, who was standing beside Tulu, was giving him a look that said, "I'm disappointed that you didn't live up to your expectations.
Tulu didn't know what Helen was trying to say.
"You idiot! Accept him as your teacher!"
Tulu finally realized what was going on and tried to bow to Angor.
However, Angor quickly released a stream of nightmare aura to seal his voice. "I'm just a guide. I'm not qualified to take you as a student. Even if you want to become my student, you'll have to wait until you arrive at the organization. "
Helen saw that Tulu's mouth was wide open. He wanted to say something, but no words came out.
"Sir, you're so strong. You should be able to become my student, right?"
Angor shook his head. "I'm not even a speck of dust in the wizarding world. There are plenty of people who are stronger than me. Tulu, if you want to become my student, you'll have to find someone stronger than me. "
"That's the rule," Angor said before Helen could say anything else. Also, every talent had a different talent. I was good at illusions, but Tulu wasn't necessarily talented in them. It was best to teach him according to his aptitude. If you really want to join the organization, you'll have to wait for the organization to assign you a teacher. "
Both Helen and Tulu fell silent upon hearing this. Angor was right. They didn't know the rules of the wizarding world. They only thought that Angor's talent, which was their first impression of him. If they found out that Tulu wasn't going to Tulu's teacher, Tulu, and Tulu, they would be in trouble.
"I'll find a time to talk about the details." Angor removed Tulu's "silence" and put away his lazy expression. "I'll ask you one more time. Are you sure you want to join Brute Cavern and ask me to be your guide?"
"White Clam Shipping is backed by the Floating Mech City, which is an organization that's as powerful as Brute Cavern. Floating Mech City is a good choice for you. Think carefully before you make your decision. "
Tulu was going to say "yes" right away, but he hesitated after hearing Angor's words. He didn't know much about Floating Mech City or Brute Cavern. The only thing he knew was that Mister Padt was a wizard he admired, while Mister Roman was a wizard he didn't like.
Just like Helen said, there were good and bad wizards.
He didn't like Mister Roman, but that didn't mean Floating Mech City was all bad. On the other hand, Brute Cavern, who represented Mister Padt, wasn't all good either.
That was why he hesitated.
Angor knew what Tulu was thinking, but he didn't tell Tulu the difference between Floating Mech City and Brute Cavern. It was enough for him to point out that Floating Mech City was a large wizard organization. After all, he was here to recruit talents, not to send them to other organizations.
While Tulu was still hesitating, Angor looked at Helen. "You should take the test as well. The jellyfish didn't affect you too much. You and Tulu have the highest spirit power on The Limpet."
After hearing this, Helen shook her head, and a trace of bitterness appeared on her face. "Sir, I was tested 20 years ago … I don't have the talent."
Helen mentioned that the company would arrange a test every ten years. She took the test 20 years ago, and she didn't have any talent.
"That's a pity." Compared to Tulu, Helen was more suitable to become a wizard.
Helen lowered her head and chuckled. A moment later, Helen looked up at Angor. "Sir, do you think I can become a talent without talent?"
Angor nodded. "Yes, you can. But you have to have at least 10 spiritual power first. If your spiritual power is too low, it'll be difficult. "
Helen asked, "Then can you tell me the value of my spiritual power, sir?"
Angor glanced at Tulu, who was still thinking hard, and then at Helen, who was still unwilling to give up. "Sure. Tulu's here anyway, so I can give you a test. But the process might be painful, so you have to endure until the end."
Helen nodded with a solemn expression. "I will persevere."
Angor took out the spirit gauge and handed it to Helen. Helen took the meter and glanced at it subconsciously. She felt dizzy, and she would've fainted if Tulu hadn't helped her up.
"It's a spirit scale. There's a special spirit rune engraved on it. The closer you get to the end of the scale, the more dangerous the runes will be, and they can easily damage your brain. Don't look at anything else. You have to start from zero. "
After a while, Helen felt that she had recovered a bit. When her body and mind were at their best, she picked up the scale and began the first test.
When Helen focused her attention on the 0 scale, she could clearly see a golden line slowly climbing up from the origin. The golden line moved in a gentle and smooth manner.
Soon, the line reached the "3" mark on the gauge. The golden thread split into two lines here, like a double helix. The two golden threads entangled with each other and climbed up.
Helen was also completely immersed in the golden lines. Her mental strength was rapidly consumed, and as the scale climbed up, her face slowly turned pale.
When the value on the spiritual power scale reached 8, her entire body was trembling. It was obvious that the load on her brain had reached its limit.
Finally, the number on the spiritual power scale stopped at 9.3.
Helen was soaked in sweat as if she had just been drenched in a rainstorm. She knelt on the floor and gasped for air.
"Not bad. No wonder you can last so long in the jellyfish's frequency. There aren't many mortals who can reach 8, "Angor praised." You still have a chance to become a talent. "
When Helen heard this, she was still gasping for breath, but in an instant, she stopped breathing. A tear rolled down her cheek. She lowered her head and looked at Angor. He didn't know if it was because of sadness or joy.
"But to become a talent, you still need a certain amount of luck."
Helen nodded. "I know. I saved a witch once. After this trip, I'll find time to find her. Maybe I can become a talent too."
Angor was a little surprised that Helen actually had her own destiny. "Then I'll be looking forward to it. I hope to see a witch named Helen rise in the wizarding world."
Helen smiled shyly. Her eyes were filled with hope for the future.
"Mister Padt, I've made up my mind. I'll go to Brute Cavern with you, Mister Padt."
"Alright." Angor stared at him to make sure there was no more hesitation in his eyes.
Tulu chose Brute Cavern, but he was still a probationary employee of White Clam Shipping, so Angor had to let Erwin know first.
While Helen went to find Erwin, Angor also tested Tulu's spirit level.
Tulu's spirit level was 13, which wasn't too high. It was the same as the first time Angor tested him.
Erwin came as well, and Angor told him about Tulu's condition.
Erwin's expression changed from surprise to joy, then to envy. Angor could tell from his eyes that he truly wished Tulu a good life.
"Your grandmother gave you to me before she passed away. I brought you to the sea, thinking that the sea would be your home. I didn't expect your future to be even more exciting than I imagined. "Erwin said," I'm very happy. "
Erwin didn't try to stop Tulu. He left the choice to Tulu.
Since Erwin agreed, Tulu had nothing else to say.
"In order to avoid trouble, don't tell anyone about you becoming a talented person for the time being. Once we're back at Ferran Land, I'll tell everyone that you're tired of living on the sea and went back to your village to get married and have a child. "
Angor glanced at Erwin. Clearly, Erwin was also considering White Clam Shipping's opinion. Even if Tulu was only a probationary employee, he was still a member of the Floating Mech City. Taking Tulu away would be a humiliation to the city.
Erwin, on the other hand, was able to take care of both sides.
Angor nodded, and Tulu didn't dare to disobey.
Angor looked at the sky. "It's time for lunch. Alright, you can leave now. Come find me in the evening, Tulu. I'll explain to you the basics of the wizarding world. "
Erwin patted Tulu's shoulder and sighed before he returned to the captain's room.
Helen looked at Tulu's happy face and whispered, "You better keep a low profile when you get back. Don't tell anyone that you're a talent and cause trouble for Mister Padt. Got it? "
Tulu nodded vigorously, but his smile didn't fade at all. The corners of his mouth were almost curved to the ends of his eyes.
Helen sighed. "Think about Mister Roman. The wizarding world isn't as beautiful as you think. It's a dark and bloody world. Learn from Mister Padt and grow up quickly. "
Helen shook her head and left as well, leaving Tulu alone in the hallway with a confused look on his face.
