Chapter 664: Shadow talent

"Beautiful lady, what's your name?"

After hearing these words, Gonzalez locked his eyes on a little girl with a chubby cheek and asked with interest.

Despite being watched by hundreds of eyes, the little girl did not appear to be flustered. She stared at Gonzales with a pair of big blue-gray eyes, and replied crisply:

"Your Excellency, my name is Alicia, and I am now a third-year student in the National School of Baba, Sarri."

"Then, Alicia." Gonzalez smiled and asked another question. "Can you tell me, what are you feeling?"

Alicia nodded very simply, stretched out her right finger to a corner of the sea monster's upper jaw, and said:

"There is a weird thing here... it seems... as if..."

The little girl suddenly got stuck and couldn't tell why.

"Alicia." Gonzalez thought for a while, and said warmly, "You close your eyes and use your mental power to carefully observe the surrounding environment... If there is any abnormality, immediately tell your feelings. I."

The little girl closed her eyes obediently, and became serious.

Her brows were frowning, her eyelashes trembled slightly, her small appearance was pitiful.

A group of children watched their companions, their eyes were full of curiosity, while several teachers seemed to understand something, and exchanged their eyes with excitement.

A teacher hesitated for a moment, walked into Gonzalez quietly, and asked in a low voice:

"Dear Sir, does Alicia have any special talents?"

Gonzalez nodded lightly in affirmation:

"I think it should be...Last year in Odin Island, an interesting incident happened. The navy hunted an extraordinary black sailfish. A Mr. Army captain specially brought two children to the dock to watch. Black sailfish."

"The captain's young son got into the black swordfish's mouth mischievously, and then the little guy told his father that he seemed to be soaking in the sea...After testing, the child suddenly had a weak talent for water control."

"In this regard, Your Excellency Seth put forward a guess. He believes that children who are naturally strong or have a certain potential talent may activate their talent under certain circumstances."

"The Rune Research Institute formed a team to study this phenomenon..."

"The mana level of this sea monster that was hunted has reached the level of monsters. I guess it may be easier to activate the talent... Hey, I let the children enter the sea monster's mouth, just to try it, I didn't expect it to be true. Appeared……"

Another teacher suddenly inserted:

"When I was receiving professional training for teachers at the Rune Institute, I heard Lord Murphy talk about a peculiar theory. It is said that the age of 5-12 is the easiest period to stimulate talent."

"If you can get adequate nutrition during this period, the probability of your talent being stimulated will be greatly increased...Your Excellency Gonzalez, is this true?"

"There is indeed such a statement." Gonzalez shrugged. "This conjecture comes from several rune magicians who are resident in the Thousand Lakes Republic. They found that children from aristocratic or large merchant families stimulated the proportion of talents. It seems higher."

"And the age of excitement is generally concentrated in 5-12 years old... After 12 years old, although it is possible, but the probability seems to be very low."

"Later, the magicians did a large-scale investigation, and finally they attributed the root to nutrition...This paper was published in the internal journal of the Rune Institute, and I happened to read it."

"I remember that the article also mentioned an assumption. If you regularly consume high-quality animal meat, that is, the meat of beasts and sea beasts above the senior awakening level, or regularly take potions to strengthen your physique, it may further increase the probability of stimulating talent..."

The teacher suddenly:

"It's no wonder that since last year, the Department of Education will send a batch of special ingredients every once in a while, and it also stipulates that children under the age of 12 must be eaten. That's why... Hey, Lord Lord is so generous... …"

After a pause, he was puzzled again.

"For so many years, more than one person should have noticed this. Why don't the nobles of other kingdoms use this method to cultivate talents?"

Gonzalez glanced at the other person and said lightly:

"There must be a prerequisite for this, that is, there is enough high-quality beast meat... Is this kind of food so easy to obtain? Hey, the beasts of the senior awakening level and above are comparable to the extraordinary. In addition to the sea tide, it is also Who can easily kill them?"

"This kind of large-scale verification can only be carried out by Haichao Leader..."

The teacher suddenly looked embarrassed.

The teacher who asked the previous question hurriedly changed the topic:

"Your Excellency Gonzalez, is this really effective? Well, the experiment has been going on for a year. I want to know how many children have successfully stimulated their talents?"

"It has a certain effect." Gonzalez meditated for a moment and replied, "The education department has not announced the specific number, but as far as I know, the number should be no less than 10 people... currently 5-12 in the territory. There are as many as 50,000 children at the age of 50,000, which is almost 2 out of 10,000."

"However, this is only the initial stage. As time goes by, the ratio will definitely get higher and higher..."

At this moment, the little girl with her eyes closed suddenly screamed and said in a panic:

"I saw black smoke, a lot of black smoke... They are everywhere, so dark... I can't see anything..."

The next moment, something amazing happened.

A faint black mist was born out of thin air, lingering around the little girl.

This kind of black fog gives people a very strange feeling, as if it can distort the light. Although the black fog has only a very thin layer, the little girl's figure looks hazy, and only a gray shadow can be seen faintly.

This vision scared a group of children back again and again, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

"be quiet!"

Gonzalez roared.

The little girl was frightened awake, she opened her eyes suddenly, and the black mist disappeared without a trace.

"Is it a talent of the Shadow Element? This is a rare talent..."

Gonzalez whispered.

He knelt down, stared at the bewildered little girl with a look of treasure, and said with a smile:

"Alicia, I think you have to move..."

The little girl looked blank.

Gonzalez didn't explain, he touched Alicia's head lightly, and looked up at several teachers:

"I need you to notify the local political affairs office immediately... well, remember to send a few people to protect the garrison on the island... Forget it, I will personally take care of Alicia."

"Before 8 pm, another fleet sent by Odin Island will arrive at Saribaba. When they return to Odin Island, they will take Alicia and her family by the way."

"In the future Alicia will enter a special school and receive a better education..."

"Oh... OK, we see..." Several teachers nodded repeatedly.

After they discussed in low voices for a while, a teacher quickly jumped out of the beast's mouth.

Gonzalez took Alicia's hand and asked loudly:

"Hi, kids, today's biology class is over...Do you want to visit the Twin Towers?"

This sentence quickly drew a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

...

Two hours later, after visiting the warship, more than 200 children enjoyed a very hearty lunch and experienced the feeling of dining in the warship cafeteria.

In addition, Captain Lutherford generously gifted each student 4 bottles of canned fruit.

Then, led by a team of sailors, the children reluctantly left.

Except Alicia.
