The big shots secretly looked at Ainsley, who was talking to Rie with their lips twitching.
And are you sure she's not Jake's illegitimate child or something? Only someone from that monstrous Billios family might produce such a child.
This baby should have the Billios Family's blood running through her veins!
Despite their astonishment, the rest of the big shots also gave Ainsley a greeting gift.
The alchemist guild master took out a tiny pinky-sized transparent roundy bottle with a pink liquid inside and handed it to Ainsley.
"My name is Geraldine. Here, this is an invisibility potion. Upon consumption, you will remain hidden from everyone for around 3 hours. It should be of use for you."
Geraldine put on a polite and elegant smile on his handsome old face, instantly gave off the vibe of a graceful and aloof expert.
As expected of an alchemist. Even when they didn't try to be arrogant, their every movement still excluded the air of superiority and nobility.
After all, alchemists were even rarer than tamers and shamans!
Ainsley gripped the potion in her hand and had to suppress the urge to grin widely.
Damn, a potion! Invisibility potion on top of that! I heard that it's a high-level potion? Must be expensive!
Duh, just who is this grandpa? He's so generous and rich!
"Twank ywou, Gwandpa Gelal." Ainsley laughed heartily as she shook the potion and hurriedly pocketed it inside her storage necklace.
The girl then subconsciously peeked inside her storage necklace and saw the space was almost full.
She suddenly had the urge to buy a new storage necklace that could store tons of things…
After Grandpa Gerald gave Ainsley the potion, he didn't say anything else and just rubbed the girl's head for a few seconds.
"No worries, kiddo. You're such a talented kid. I'm glad I can get to know you."
Geraldine kept his manner polite and a bit distant from Ainsley, unlike the other three geezers.
After all, he thought that even though the baby had the potential to be a shaman and was even a rare dual-tamer ability user, she shouldn't be an alchemist too.
Otherwise, that would be overkill.
Thus, there's no way he should be too close to the baby since she wouldn't be an alchemist, anyway.
Though...he had to admit that he was a bit tempted to kidnap this kid just because she's cute...
Geraldine was all smiles even when he thought of kidnapping Ainsley to be his granddaughter.
This alchemist old man was indeed calm and composed, unlike the other two childish oldies and one emotional grannie.
After Geraldine gave the greeting gift, the silent old man wearing a grey robe not far from the group also looked at Ainsley, but with a deadpan face.
The old man seemed to be the youngest among the big shots, and there was this weird tiny owl on his shoulder.
"Godtoddler…" the old man called out Ainsley's alias with a quiet voice as quiet as a mosquito buzz.
But Ainsley had a keen hearing ability. Thus, when she saw the old man open her mouth, she hurriedly activated her ability.
Indeed, she could hear the old man calling her out softly.
"Y-yes, Gwandpa?" Ainsley gulped as she looked at the old man.
The old man had his face slightly hidden beneath his grey, worn-out hoodie, looking mysterious.
Out of all the oldies around Jake, Ainsley was most guarded toward this old man. She didn't know why but it seemed as if he could look straight into her soul, stripping off all her facades.
That's uncomfortable!
Not noticing Ainsley's wry smile, the old man took a few steps toward Ainsley before patting her on the shoulder.
"Gift...this brooch…"
Cain paused for a bit before he personally put on the emerald thumb-sized brooch with a golden frame onto Ainsley's left chest.
After putting on the emerald brooch with a strange grey light emitted from the core of the emerald gem, Cain patted Ainsley with a careful movement.
However, he didn't back off. Instead, he whispered to the baby in a voice that only she and he could hear.
"...be careful. Your soul...is unique." His voice was soft and gentle, but it was mixed with a tinge of mythical voice akin to someone from the void or the abyss.
It would make people's skin crawl just by hearing that kind of unique voice.
"...take care, " Cain spoke once more then took a few steps back, ignoring the shocked look on the baby's face.
Indeed, when Cain said his piece, Ainsley almost peed her pants and slapped Jake out of reflex.
What?! What did he say? M-my soul is...unique? Fck! Does he know my soul isn't from this world?!
Is he an otherworldly summoner? And a soul type on top of that??
Ainsley suddenly broke in a cold sweat as she hugged Jake's neck tighter. The baby eyed the emerald brooch on her chest with a wary look while peeking a glance at Cain.
Is this brooch a cursed item? Will it act as a GPS or something? What if this old man kidnaps me?!
The baby clearly looked like she's not comfortable with Cain.
When Jake and the others saw this, they couldn't help but chuckle even without knowing what's going on.
"Hahah, don't be nervous. Uncle Cain is a bit nerdy and weird, but he's kind. I can say that he's the most kind-hearted being among us here."
Jake stroked Ainsley's head and laughed at the baby's response.
The group actually already expected Ainsley to react that way.
After all, Cain was too mysterious-looking and had this weird aura around him, preventing others from approaching him.
Even they were a bit scared of him when they first met him!
