Angor didn't really mean the test.
He couldn't show that he was in a hurry to find talents. That would be too embarrassing.
Since he already said so, Angor began to plan the content of the test in his mind.
If he really wanted to test them, he needed to have a basic requirement. Angor disliked Vonman and Guina's "evil nature" the most. However, he didn't intend to correct them. Still, he could use this chance to temper their impulsive nature before they entered the supernatural realm. Especially Vonman.
Angor already had a rough idea of what to do.
However, just as he had said, the test could be carried out at any time. There was no rush. There was one more thing he needed to do before putting them to the test.
He needed to confirm their talents.
There were many signs that indicated that both of them were talents. But it was still a possibility, not a certainty.
Angor planned to test their talents first so that he wouldn't make any mistakes.
Luckily, the members of the Rat Ant Society didn't have much money, so they only used simple spiritual power measurements to determine talents. So far, Vonman and Guina hadn't been tested by the "Abelles' Eye" yet.
"Next, I'll test your talents." He placed plates on the table, filled cups with water, lit candles … and opened up a skylight for the cellar.
He did everything to prepare for the test.
When everything was ready, Angor placed a light-red crystal ball on the table. "This is the Abelles' Eye, also known as the Talent Orb. It can help you estimate your potential talent. Of course, someone will do the more accurate test for you when you return to your organization. "
Angor briefly explained how the orb worked. "Remember, look carefully and see if there are any changes in your surroundings."
With that, he signaled them to begin the test.
Vonman was the first to approach. He was cautious, and his outstretched hand was trembling. Before he could touch the Talent Sphere, he asked worriedly, "Sir, if I don't see any changes, does that mean I don't have the talent?"
"Some changes are very subtle, so don't worry about them. As long as the orb glows, it means you have a talent."
Vonman asked more questions, but Angor didn't bother to answer them. 'Abelles Annual Talent Collection' had been published several hundred times, and there were too many anomalies. It was impossible for him to explain all of them.
Vonman heaved a sigh of relief and rubbed her eyes. She was going to open her eyes wide to observe her surroundings.
When Vonman placed her hand on the crystal ball, a red light flashed unexpectedly.
Vonman was in a daze, which was a normal reaction when entering the test.
"Once the red light appears, it means that he must have talent." While waiting for Vonman's test, Angor told Guina about the details of the test. "Don't be fooled by his blank expression. I think he's looking for something to change."
Guina stared at the glowing Talent Orb in deep thought.
When Vonman withdrew his hand, his eyes were dazed, but his expression was full of surprise. He kept turning his head, looking around the cramped cellar as if he was looking for something.
"It seems that your change is very obvious? What did you see? "Angor looked at Vonman.
Vonman stopped looking around with a disappointed expression.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I saw a lot of strange creatures in the cellar. On the wall over there, there was a guy that looked like transparent plasticine. The dust on the ground turned into little briquettes with big eyes. There were creatures that looked like transparent earthworms walking in the air. There was also a pattern of a big face cat on the ceiling, and it was winking at me …"
"They are all strange creatures. They are colorful and bizarre," Vonman said, as if he had not had enough of the story yet.
Angor considered for a moment. "The changes you saw are similar to what I saw in the book. Maybe you're an Occult Summoner. That's why Ghostcaller chose you. "
After all, Ghostcaller was a Summoner apprentice.
Vonman wanted to ask more questions, but Angor didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Guina.
"Your turn. Since your arms and legs are broken, you can touch the Talent Ball with your forehead."
Guina nodded. She didn't hesitate like Vonman. She signaled Vonman to carry her forward. However, Vonman was still immersed in the beautiful scene, and she accidentally dropped the doll on Guina's shoulder.
Vonman quickly picked it up and brushed the dust away.
Angor noticed that the doll was a small, round doll with a small body. It looked like a Teru Teru Bozu. However, its face was a little strange. Both its eyes and mouth were sewn together with black threads.
The black threads looked almost the same as the ones on Guina's mouth.
From afar, Guina looked like a broken doll with a broken arm and a broken leg.
When Guina touched the Talent Ball with her forehead, the ball instantly glowed red. Just like Vonman said, Guina was indeed a talent.
A moment later, Guina opened her eyes and spoke to Angor, "Mister Wizard, I just saw my doll being pulled by strings and dancing."
"That's your transformation?" Angor pondered for a moment. "Sounds like a puppet wizard who manipulates strings."
Bogula, the Golem Master, was one of those who walked this path.
"Also, I saw my body glowing red."
"Are you sure you're glowing red?" Angor looked up at Sunders.
Guina nodded and used a strange ventriloquist voice. "Yes. I can only move my neck, so I can only see part of the skin around my waist."
Guina's clothes were a modified version of an old man's suit. There was a hole on her waist, through which she saw her body glowing.
"There were some strange patterns on my skin. I tried to remember them, but when I woke up, I couldn't remember anything." Guina sighed.
Meanwhile, Angor was quickly thinking about the case study in Abelles' Annual Talent Collection. A doll dancing on strings … this was definitely a puppet operation. But at the same time, she noticed that her body was glowing red, which meant that Guina had a special constitution.
Still, Angor didn't read much of Abelles' Annual Talent Collection, so he couldn't remember the details of special constitutions.
So far, there were only cases of people glowing in red. Therefore, Angor was sure that Guina was not only a talent, but also someone with a special constitution.
That was quite surprising.
According to the guide quest in Brute Cavern, anyone who found someone with a special constitution or talent would be rewarded with several times the reward. Angor didn't really care about the reward, but he could tell how rare it was to find someone with a special constitution.
Angor couldn't help but exclaim in his mind. "I'm so lucky to find someone with a special constitution at the last minute. Guina alone is as good as ten regular talents combined. "
"Sir, what does Guina's glowing mean?" Vonman asked curiously.
"It means you have a special constitution. It might be good for you, but it could also be a disaster." Angor couldn't help but think about Shiliew, who had a special talent. "Let's wait until we get back to Brute Cavern."
Angor put away the Talent Orb and spoke to the other two. "I've finished the test. Both of you have decent talents, as far as I can tell. But you'll have to work hard to see what you can achieve in the future.
"Next, I'll give you an hour to pack your things. After an hour, get ready to leave."
…
Guina and Vonman didn't have anything to pack. Therefore, they knew very well that this wizard named Padt had given them an hour to say goodbye to their past.
And to say goodbye to Yaniga and Chaila.
They put their grief aside because they wanted to test their talents. But now, when they saw the two cold corpses lying in the cellar, their hearts sank again.
Vonman knelt on the ground and began sobbing.
"I still remember when we met three years ago. I can't believe it's like this …"
Vonman and Vonman were all refugees. They weren't related by blood, but they were closer to each other than family members.
Chaila wanted to be a chef, while Yaniga wanted to be a musician.
But now, they couldn't go any further.
Vonman's face was bitter. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have followed Summon Ghost, and I shouldn't have listened to his nonsense and sent you to that old witch. If I didn't do that, they wouldn't be like this. "
"It's not your fault. It's just that we were born in a humble family, and we have no choice but to follow the flow of this dark world." Guina finally opened her mouth to speak.
But one day, I won't let anyone else have the right to choose. "Guina's eyes were filled with determination.
Vonman also stopped sobbing after hearing Guina's words.
Now, they had to face reality.
"Sir, you only gave us one hour. We don't have much time left. What should we do now? Leave them in this cellar? "
Guina hesitated. "I want to take them with us."
