"That Oren is actually recruiting helpers everywhere. It seems he really is plotting something big!"
After returning, Roy wore a solemn expression, feeling deeply wary.
He could seek him out...
Naturally, he could seek out other people too.
There might already be quite a few Advanced Apprentices active around the Great Wind Land Hills.
But compared to that, another question was even more worth investigating.
"Why do some materials contain Talent Source Material, while others don't?
What exactly is the difference between them?"
Roy had now discovered that those materials might possess some kind of special characteristic.
The Merman Lord had obtained the Thunder Demon Eye for so long, yet still hadn't absorbed the source material within it.
Oren had likewise possessed that finger and ear for quite some time, but there was no sign that he had noticed anything unusual.
Only Roy could absorb and utilize them.
But according to the patterns of the past, the panel's progress had increased by about eight percent each month, then five percent...
Recently, it had simply stopped moving altogether.
This probably meant that "natural growth" was gradually losing its effectiveness, and that he needed to develop the channel of "additional gains" more actively.
"There's also the question of what 'Bronze-grade' actually means.
Source material has different qualities too. Do different types of source material correspond to different talents?
In any case, it might be difficult to count on natural growth from now on.
I have to actively search for treasures containing source material if I want to keep growing."
After thinking it over again and again, he ultimately decided to go take a look at the Great Wind Land Hills!
