A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Tulu and the others when they heard Wallace's words, which quickly turned into apprehension.
They thought they had already stepped into Brute Cavern after taking Angor's test. They did not expect to be tested again.
Were they going to be sent back to Brute Cavern if they failed? This was also the reason why the three of them were nervous.
Apart from Tulu, Vonman and Guina had never truly entered the supernatural realm, so they didn't know anything about their talents. Even someone as calm as Guina couldn't help but feel nervous when faced with the unknown.
Angor was surprised as well. He didn't know about this either. Did all the other talents, including Dodoro, go through the same test?
"Yes. I was the one who did the review." Wallace nodded. "Yeah, I did."
Wallace continued, "It's only a rough assessment of your temperament. Mister Tree Spirit will be the one to determine your talent."
Wallace also told Angor that all the talents in Brute Cavern did the same thing, but none of them knew about it.
"There's no such thing as a rough assessment of your temperament. However, we'll add an additional comment to your talent so that wizards will know your general preference, "Wallace explained. Tulu and the others didn't understand what he meant, but Angor knew what he meant.
It was about choosing sides.
Wallace slowly glanced at the three people in front of him.
Tulu and the others felt as if Wallace had seen through them from head to toe. It was as if cold water had been poured over them from the top of their heads to the bottom of their feet.
Both Tulu and Vonman trembled in fear and didn't dare to look at Wallace in the eyes. Guina also lowered her head, but she wasn't afraid at all.
She was just curious. Back in the mortal world, everyone who saw her would be terrified as if they had just seen a ghost. However, no one in the wizarding world cared about her at all. Not Angor, not Nelson, or Wallace, who they met later.
When they looked at her, they all looked at her as if nothing had happened. Guina was curious, but at the same time, she felt comfortable and at ease.
For the first time in her life, Guina felt that the wizarding world was much better than she thought.
After a while, the light in Wallace's eyes dimmed. He had a rough estimation of these three people.
But before that, he asked Angor, "As their guide, what do you think of them?"
Tulu and the others all looked at Angor. They had been with Angor for some time now, and they wanted to know how Angor saw them.
Wallace could use spells to determine a person's alignment. Angor, on the other hand, had spent a lot of time with them.
"Tulu, you're a kind and honest man. But you're always hot-blooded and reckless, and you're always tempted by the idea of justice. His left ear was missing because he didn't consider his own situation and tried to save the people in the sea beast's mouth with his mortal body. "
Tulu lowered his head in shame.
Next, he looked at Vonman, who seemed to be hesitating.
"Vonman, you're a reckless man. You don't know what's right or wrong. You're not tough enough. But you're also loyal to your friends. However, you're still self-centered and rarely care about others' feelings. "
Vonman frowned at Angor's comment. He didn't know whether Angor was good or bad, but he didn't like Angor's comment.
Finally, Angor looked at Guina again.
Guina wondered what Angor was going to say about her. Was it good or bad? Was it good or bad that the wizard beside her wanted to hear? Or was it going to affect Guina's opinion?
He needed to consider his words carefully when talking to Guina.
"Guina, you tend to be neutral. Maybe it's because of your experience in your early years, but your way of thinking is similar to Vonman's. You're a shrewd person, and you're able to see through people's minds better than anyone else. However, it's not always a good thing to overthink things. "
Angor only pointed out the flaws in each of the three people's opinions. He didn't comment on whether they were right or wrong.
Wallace appreciated this.
Wallace nodded. "Yes, Guina, but Tulu is the one you like the most."
Angor did not refute his words.
Wallace's words made Tulu's eyes light up. Just when he thought it was a good idea, Wallace's words took a sharp turn.
"But in my opinion, Tulu is the least suitable candidate for the wizarding world."
Angor nodded in agreement. If Tulu was still bound by the rules of mortals, he would be the first one to die.
"I've sent their comments to the Tree Spirit Palace." After saying this, Wallace gently raised his hand. The dust on the ground slowly gathered, and a human-shaped earth puppet appeared out of thin air.
Wallace gently touched the center of the earth puppet's eyebrows, and an eye appeared on the dark surface of the earth puppet. When it opened its eyes, the puppet seemed to have come alive, and its entire body began to move.
"Follow it. It'll take you to the Tree Spirit Palace," Wallace said to Tulu's group.
After that, the puppet turned its head and gestured to the others to follow it. Then, it jumped into the pit without hesitation.
This scene caused everyone to be extremely shocked. Were they going to follow the puppet too? However, if he were to jump into this bottomless pit, he would definitely be smashed into meat paste.
While they were hesitating, they all looked at Angor.
"Let's go, Vonman," Guina said after a moment of hesitation. "Let's go."
"But …" Vonman hesitated.
"Throw me down if you don't," Guina said. "Since we're already in the wizarding world, there's nothing we can't solve."
Guina's words seemed to have boosted Vonman's confidence. In the end, Vonman nodded and jumped into the pit with Guina in his arms.
Tulu didn't want to be left behind, so he gritted his teeth and followed.
Angor waited until all three of them disappeared into the pit before he looked up at Wallace. According to the rules of the quest, he should be the one to lead them to the Tree Spirit Palace, but Wallace must have something to tell him since he created an earth elf to guide them.
Wallace smiled and said, "Take a guess. Who do you think I give the highest evaluation of among the three?"
"Didn't you say that you don't have to give a good or bad rating, sir?"
"There's no such thing as good or bad temperament. But there's a big difference between whether you can overcome your weaknesses and how difficult it is to overcome them." Wallace paused for a moment. "So, who do you think is the most suitable candidate for the wizarding world?"
"Guina?" Angor pondered for a moment before uttering a name.
Wallace said, "Guina is the most mentally unstable of the three, and it won't be easy for her to get over it. However, if she really manages to overcome it, it's very likely that she'll be the one who goes the furthest out of the three. "
"So, I don't think she's the best."
"Then who's Vonman, sir?"
Wallace nodded. "Vonman's temperament is the least of the three, which is why I gave him the highest rating. But I don't mean it. You'll have to see how far they go in the future. Just like you. "
Wallace suddenly changed the topic. "I didn't think highly of you before. But now, you're already the best among your peers. In fact, you're better than anyone in the entire southern wizarding region."
Wallace's sudden praise caught Angor off guard.
Wallace didn't seem to mind Angor's achievements. He only looked at Angor with a gentle gaze. "I'll wait for the day when Sunders dies, then I'll take you over."
Angor didn't know what to say.
"But you should take your time to become a wizard. Otherwise, when you become an official Magus, I won't be able to accept you as my disciple. "
After saying this, Wallace added, "If you have time, go and see Old Man Rhine. I think he has something to say to you."
After that, Wallace jumped into the pit and disappeared.
Angor remained silent. He thought Wallace had something important to tell him, but he didn't expect Wallace to only talk about something.
Or was Wallace trying to tell him to slow down his advancement to an official wizard?
Angor believed that this was Wallace's real intention. Angor's progress was faster than most of his peers. In Wallace's opinion, Angor didn't have enough time to learn, which meant his foundation wasn't solid enough.
However, Wallace wasn't Angor's teacher, so he didn't want to tell Angor the truth directly.
In fact, Wallace meant well.
"Are you … Master Padt?!" A witch riding on a broom landed behind him.
Before Angor could answer, the witch's eyes lit up. She lifted her robe and revealed her long, white legs. "Wonderful! Master Padt, I'm —"
Angor put on a "don't disturb me" attitude and finally got rid of the witch who approached him for no reason.
Angor thought she was just an exception.
But when he returned to Brute Cavern, he realized that the witch wasn't an exception at all. Every time he slowed down his pace, people would come to him and ask him to join them.
Some wanted to learn from him, some wanted to woo him, and most of them wanted to learn alchemy.
Angor was getting a little annoyed. He asked Toby to transform into the shape of a griffin and used it to intimidate everyone. Angor only managed to escape thanks to the sequence of gravity.
He was about to return to Phantom Island when he heard someone teasing him. "Looks like you're going to become the most desirable man among all the witches in Brute Cavern."
