Chapter 451 - 'Contacting Grandpa Geraldine'
Chapter 451 - "Contacting Grandpa Geraldine"
The Godfather looked at Ainsley’s anxious face and nodded.
[You can. If, in the end, you fail to regain your body control when using your shaman power, this lord won’t possess you that often anymore...]
When the Godfather said the last sentence, his voice sounded melancholic, as if he’s suppressing something in his heart.
He probably thought that Ainsley’s current problem was because of him...because he agreed to become the baby’s contracted spirit when he’s way stronger than her.
However, the spirit actually couldn’t be blamed in this case because many shamans actually didn’t lose their identities. Only a few did.
Still, the Godfather didn’t want Ainsley to rely too much on him. In the end, he’s just a helper, and the main ’hero’ should be the baby.
[If you can slowly gain control, in the future, you might even cooperate with this lord.]
The Godfather tried to bait Ainsley to strive hard to improve her shaman ability above anything else for the time being.
Indeed, his tactic worked. When Ainsley heard that she could even borrow the Godfather’s other abilities, she almost jumped from her seat.
[Really?? I can use your lighting manipulation or dominance...o-or other abilities as well?!]
[Yeah, you can. The shamans are powerful for a reason...the shamans called it ’ability switch’.]
Well, it’s either the Godfather that used his various abilities or Ainsley that could access his other abilities.
After all, the senior shamans that were well-versed in controlling their shaman energy and their spirit possession process could borrow more than one ability from their contracted spirit.
Rie, the Godlif Shaman Guild master, was one of the living proof.
Oh, well, just how well-versed the shaman was...the Godfather didn’t tell Ainsley that the baby had to reach at least, core-splitting realm.
[...anyway...don’t be too passive.] The Godfather finally ended his lecture with advice for the baby.
Even though he liked to be in control and wanted to use Ainsley’s body as he wished, he knew that the body didn’t belong to him.
It was already Ainsley’s.
Ainsley hurriedly nodded. [Yesh, Uncle Gwodfathel!]
The baby secretly clenched her fists as she swore not to be too passive the next time she let the Godfather possess her.
After Ainsley solved the issue with her identity crisis, for the time being, the baby finally focused on the auction license matter.
Once the group arrived at their Sloan Family mansion, the baby immediately went to her office and tried to contact the Alchemist Guild Headquarters.
At that time, she still didn’t know that Geraldine, the old man that gave her the invisibility potion, was the Godlif Alchemist guild master, the one handling the headquarters.
She had his number in her hand, but she didn’t know that he would actually be of help.
She only thought of him as a senior alchemist, and that’s why she didn’t want to get into a despite with the alchemist guild...to respect him.
Thus, the baby contacted the headquarters through a formal and official procedure by sending an email instead...
But the reply she got a day later was this.
[Please contact your local alchemist Guild to apply for a license.]
....?!
Ainsley almost flipped the table.
’I already did that, ah! And it didn’t work! I was almost robbed too! Fck!’
Ainsley tried to reply to the email once more, asking to meet one of the headquarters representatives...but she didn’t get a reply.
A day, two days...the headquarters didn’t reply to her email at all!
At first, Ainsley didn’t know what’s wrong with the headquarters. However, later on, Grandpa Yoyo collected some information and told Ainsley the truth.
"Ain, I heard that if we want to apply for a unique potion license or something, we have to get through the local alchemist guild first..."
"Hwaaat? Can’t we just cwontact the headqualtels right away? Those at the capwital can dwo so, righty? Why can’t we?"
Ainsley looked at Grandpa Yofan in disbelief.
What’s with the Alchemist Guild, ah?!
"Well, there are too many people in this country wanting to apply for a potion business license to the headquarters...so the headquarters make a rule..."
"What wule?"
"The applicants have to apply to the branch guild and, the branch guild will be the one informing the headquarters." Grandpa Yoyo paused before continuing.
"The headquarters won’t receive any license registration that doesn’t come from the branch guild."
After all, if the applicants were allowed to apply to the headquarters directly, the headquarters would collapse sooner or later.
Thus, the branch guilds acted as a filter for the headquarters to ease their burden.
Once the branch guild found someone applying for a license of a unique potion that they couldn’t identify, only then the branch guild would inform the headquarters.
That way, everything would be organised and neat.
However, one couldn’t be sure that all the branches were honest and upright. Some were corrupted, such as the one in Ainsley’s region, the Roane branch Alchemist Guild.
This was why many forces would try to befriend the local alchemist guilds if they couldn’t get in touch with the headquarters.
Unfortunately, the Roane branch was close with the 7 sacred families, while the 7 great families were close with another branch.
Ainsley, on the other hand, knew no one...except for the senior alchemist.
The baby finally closed her laptop and sat down on her chair, deep in thoughts.
’Should I ask for the old man’s help? I don’t know which branch he’s from...or maybe he’s from the headquarters...if it’s the latter, it will be for the best...’
Ainsley gritted her teeth and in the end, decided to contact the old man.
Let’s hope that Grandpa Geraldine can help with the auction license!
