Of course, Rie didn't say the thing about becoming a shaman out loud.
She just put the ball carefully on Ainsley's palm before stretching her hand to rub the baby's hair with eyes full of affection.
"Right, little lady. If one day you see something inside the ball, do tell me, okay?" The old woman winked playfully as she retracted her hand.
"I'll be waiting for your report!"
Ainsley was still immersed in the woman's warm hand when she lost the warmth.
The baby quickly snapped out of her daze and looked at the small ball in her palm.
Uh...this ball can ward off evil spirits? Is it because there's an animal spirit trapped inside?
Ainsley instantly knew that the old woman should be a shaman!
And...this so-called animal spirit was, in fact, the spirit of a human, but since the human wasn't that strong, it took the shape of a small animal to persevere their energy.
When the old woman said that once I can see something inside the ball, I should tell her, the woman must have meant to see whether I gained a shaman ability or not.
After all, there's a higher chance to be a shaman if one was exposed to a dead spirit ever since they're young.
The old woman might look like she's just casually gifting Ainsley a pretty glass ball for decoration, but in fact, she's trying to test whether the baby has the talent to be a shaman or not.
Others said that when a kid had the potential to be a shaman, they could sometimes see low-level dead spirits if they encountered one, although they couldn't see them all the time.
Thus, if Ainsley said that she could see something inside the glass ball, there's a 99% chance she would be a shaman in the future. It's just a matter of time.
Ainsley gripped the glass ball while hesitating. The baby peeked at the old woman and suddenly didn't know what to do.
Should I tell her I can see a spirit inside the ball? Uhhh, maybe it's not safe to say that I can see it…
However, when Ainsley was hesitating, the Godfather and Zev who were hiding far away as not to be seen by Rie, suddenly spoke at the same time.
[Just tell her what you see, lil lass. This old woman isn't simple. She might be your ally in the future. Who knows? She seems to be fond of children.]
[Tell her what you see, boss. She won't harm you...and these people around her are also nice. I don't detect any sense of malicious intent.] Zev added.
The Godfather and Zev actually already knew the old woman's true identity, so they didn't mind if Ainsley got the old woman's attention.
Especially the Godfather. He was rather eager to have these big shots pay attention to Ainsley.
After all, he was never a shaman when he was alive. Thus, having a skilful shaman to guide the baby in the future would be good.
The Godfather knew that old people would tend to cherish young prodigies since they would want to mentor the prodigies and watch how they grew up.
It's like a sense of satisfaction and achievement for these oldies.
Of course, regarding Ainsley's luck ability, it's better than fewer people knew about it.
When Ainsley heard Zev and the Godfather's suggestion, she finally relented and chose to believe them.
Hmmm, hmm, it's indeed not bad to form a connection with these unknown big shots..
"Humm, pwetty lady, I...I can see something inside the glass ball...uh...is it a spilit? It looks like a rabbit!"
Ainsley immediately looked at Rie with a pair of innocent eyes, definitely looked as if she didn't know what's going on.
However, when she blurted out those words, Rie wasn't the only one who almost got a heart attack.
Jake, Bern, Benjamin, the guild master of the alchemist guild, and the guild master of the summoner guild who was silently watching the conversation, all of them also choked.
What?! She can see something inside that ball? But we can't!
Yet since that's a thing from Rie, it should be related to the shamans…
Don't tell us this baby also has the potential to be a shaman?!
Out of the oldies and one young man at that place, Rie was the one with the most intense reaction.
Her eyes widened, and her jaw dropped to the floor. Her hands trembled so hard as she approached Ainsley.
"R-really? You can see a spirit inside the ball?"
"Uh...yeah?" Ainsley blinked her big eyes innocently, looking like a naive little deer that didn't know anything.
Of course, she actually already knew what's inside the ball and how she could see it.
It's all thanks to the Godfather and Zev's presence as top-tier spirits! Now, it's only a matter of time before she becomes a shaman, right?
Ainsley was immersed in her acting when Rie suddenly clasped the baby's tiny hands and brought her wrinkly face so close to the baby's smooth face.
"Godtoddler! That's good, that's good! You can see a spirit inside the ball...which means that you have a potential to be a shaman! Oh, my!"
Rie was definitely ecstatic. Her face flushed red as she kept talking to Ainsley, eager to kidnap her to her guild.
When the oldies at the place saw this, they suddenly smiled bitterly.
Oh my, not only she acquired a rare ability such as the beast and monster taming abilities, she even has the potential to be a shaman when she's only 3 years old!
What kind of prodigy is this baby? If she said that she's the Godfather's granddaughter, we all would believe her!
She's way too talented, okay?!
The big shots were having a mental breakdown.
