Chapter 668: Special Treatment
Since the Badge System indicated an increase in resistance upon acquiring information, the Bull Director's guess was correct; the Zodiac Palace indeed influences the user's tendencies.
Looking at the amiable Bull Director before him, Leon nodded firmly and sincerely expressed his gratitude.
"I understand, thank you for the reminder, Bull Director."
"Haha, no need for such formality."
The Bull Director chuckled warmly and said, "At my age, I could be your grandmother. I've always considered you as one of my own, and I'm about to step down as Director soon. So, please don't address me so formally; it feels awkward."
"Oh, alright!"
Leon and the Red-Haired Commissioner exchanged glances, and they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
Compared to before, the Bull Director seemed less stern after ascending the Zodiac Palace and appeared to be much more cheerful and easygoing... Could it be because he was about to step down and separate from the Zodiac Palace's influence, thus reducing its effect on him?
"By the way, Olivia."
As Leon and the Red-Haired Commissioner exchanged looks, the Bull Director suddenly turned serious, and with a straight face, he said, "Andrew asked me to convey his apology to you and Leon. He feels very sorry for choosing to sacrifice your Virgin District Office when the Water Bearer attacked and not coming to your aid as promised."
Tsk...
Upon hearing the Bull Director's words, the Red-Haired Commissioner and Leon's mouths twitched slightly. While they maintained their composure, their eyes simultaneously revealed a hint of astonishment.
For such a significant matter, is a mere apology enough? And he didn't even come to apologize in person but had the Bull Director deliver the message? Is this his attitude towards apologizing? That old man has no sincerity at all...
"As compensation, he will make a deal with the God of Fine Wine and get you a batch of the very best wine. From now on, he will send a bottle every week until he dies."
Hiss...
"As for Leon, apart from teaching you the Archer Secret Technique wholeheartedly, he also sacrificed his lifespan and used two Wish-Type Anomalies to help you locate the remaining parts of that Great Demon. It won't be long before you gather all the pieces."
Oh...
"Moreover, besides the two of you, the other members of the Virgin District Office will also receive compensation, with the worst being a Shared Anomaly... How about it? Are you satisfied with this compensation?"
"Oh my! Why talk about compensation!"
The Red-Haired Commissioner smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Although what he did wasn't entirely right, the Archer Director didn't have any personal motives. We can understand that, we really can!"
"Indeed, we have felt the sincerity in the Archer Director's apology."
You two...
Seeing the sudden change in attitude from the two in front of him, the Bull Director shook his head and then spoke seriously, "Since you are satisfied, I won't make further excuses for Andrew. But I hope you know that his decision was partly influenced by the Zodiac Palace's corruption.
And the reason he requested to replace the Crab Director and go to the Abyss to suppress the demons is to correct those negative influences. So, I hope you won't hold too much grudge against him... Well, that's all about Andrew. Now, it's your turn."
At this point, the Bull Director's face relaxed again, and he smiled at Leon, saying, "As someone chosen by the Five Palaces and destined to become one of the Twelve Directors, I want to take this opportunity to mentor you while you're still young. I have some time now, Leon. Would you like to receive my guidance and learn the Bull Palace's Anomaly Forging Secret Technique?"
"This... this is exactly what I've been hoping for!"
Hehe, although it seems like Olivia has influenced him a bit, he's still a good kid at heart.
As Lyon eagerly agreed and eagerly awaited his "lesson," the Bull Director, with a smile in his eyes, waved his hand and created a large table. He then took out a large amount of practice materials and placed them on the table. After that, he called out, "Come on, try forging with these first and let me see your progress!"
"Yes!"
Encouraged by the Bull Director's gaze, Lyon, the "Five Palaces Certified" secret technique genius, felt a surge of confidence. He took out a large iron pot from the Mirror World and set it up, then brought out two old thermoses and began pouring water into the pot with a loud, rhythmic sound.
Hmm? This technique is less about being rough and more about being completely haphazard... Why does it seem vaguely familiar?
As Lyon brought out the rusty iron pot, the Bull Director, who was about to take out his own forging tools, paused and asked tentatively, "Lyon, what's the story behind this pot?"
"The Third Generation Commissioner taught me this!"
Although the old man with the square head had once threatened him not to talk about what he had learned from him about forging.
But the Bull Director, being a man of discretion, knew that even if he didn't say anything, she would probably figure it out. So Lyon didn't hide anything. While stirring the water in the iron pot, he relayed what the Third Generation had told him: "Previously, His Excellency the Third told me that I shouldn't worry too much about the quality of my forging tools. Because the source of anomalies is emotions, obsessions, and expectations, it ultimately comes down to the power of the soul. And the soul has no 'correct answer.'
So, as long as the forger's heart is strong enough and the materials used meet the standards, even if you use a large iron pot and plain water, you can still forge top-tier anomalies!"
Emotions, soul, obsessions... That damn old... senior, he's at it again with his crazy ideas, and he's even got Lyon believing this nonsense? After hearing Lyon's earnest explanation of this absurd concept, even the usually mild-tempered Bull Director couldn't help but tense up with anger. He forced a smile and said, "Well... that's fine, after all, we haven't officially started learning yet. You can try forging something first, and I'll just check on your progress."
"Yes!"
Lyon searched through the materials on the table, found two items that he was most proficient with from the Demon series, and felt a sense of unity with the materials. The genius, Lyon Ryan, took a deep breath and said, "I actually think I might succeed this time!"
