章 34: Take responsibility for your actions
-Chapter 34: Take responsibility for your actions-
"What was that light just now?"
"Did you see her too? I thought I was hallucinating."
Naturally, some surrounding elves noticed something strange and began to mutter, not everyone here is very close to the deceased, some are even distant relatives they have never met in their lives, but, anyone who is involved with royalty receives different treatment, so these people try to get closer to these families to get closer to the royal family, especially the relatives of the deceased guards.
It is common knowledge that loved ones of the royal guard receive a large sum of money when one dies, so no matter how small the family is, it will certainly experience a big boost from now on, so many old friends or distant relatives came as fast as they heard the news, they wanted to take advantage of this moment and get a little bit of it too.
No matter how far apart elves are from humans, it seems that unpleasant people with these kinds of thoughts can be found in all races.
The most repulsive were the comments of some female elves, who did not pay respect to the deceased and looked at Har's appearance while muttering and laughing softly.
In fact, Link's appearance was already considered one of the best in Hyrule, regardless of the timeline, it's hard to find a more handsome man than Link, so seeing this kind of handsome youth with heroic appearance, some elves Interested parties couldn't help but stare at him.
It was something to be expected, because of his long ears, the blue earrings that hang from them matching his eyes and his long bright blonde hair, Link stands out quite a bit among the elves, he is almost like a specimen class and perfect stereotype, also, the feeling The mystery that surrounds him draws even more attention from the girls, even some elves looked at him from head to toe with unknown thoughts, all these people who looked at him had many doubts about his identity.
'I draw too much attention…'
Hearing the muttering of the elves behind his back, Har realized that he should be more cautious with his actions and clothing, he turned around to look at these disrespectful people, but they all turned their heads and looked away, The whispers immediately stopped and the incessant sobs returned to eclipse everything in her ears.
Leaving these people aside, Har turned his gaze in the direction of the grass path, there, Virion had a lunatic appearance, staring at him with a lot of questions, this old man was dying to ask about what Link had done. .
He was only holding back to avoid disturbing the relatives, he doesn't know it, most of the elves here would go crazy if they found out that someone from the royal family is in this place, for some it would be a pleasure and for others interested it would be the greatest achievement of their insignificant lives.
Off to the side, Arthur was surprised, but nothing similar to how Rayah had reacted before, a lot of theories and questions about what Link had just shown were going through his mind.
Naturally, the elves who were still glancing at Har out of the corner of their eyes noticed something, that this beautiful and heroic elf was looking at something behind, so some of them did not hide it in the slightest and turned their heads curiously, what did the girl call? attention of this young elf?, however, everyone who turned was in disbelief, their jaws almost dropped to the ground and their eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
"I-Is that...?"
Some elves who recovered stuttered and couldn't believe their eyes, some even gasped and gasped for breath, because of this, many other elves turned their heads curiously, as they did so, they were surprised and exhaled in disbelief, it seemed like a domino effect, but everyone was unable to believe what they saw.
The figure of a silver-haired old man wearing a white robe and expensive clothes was standing on the grass path, something seemed wrong with him, he was trembling and his gaze was extremely fixed, his pupils were shrunken, and the lock of hair falling on the center of his forehead won't stop shaking, it looks like he's having a stroke or something.
They don't know it, but Virion was just too excited by what his eyes saw, but as soon as he noticed that everyone was looking at him, he stood firm again and stopped trembling, he put his right hand inside his robe and took out a pipe, he seemed very dignified and honorable at the moment.
"It-it's the ancient king Virion!"
When Virion acted like he was a noble, the elves finally reacted and shouted among themselves, the arrival of someone from the royal family is certainly a big event, especially for members of unrecognized families like them.
In normal situations, the citizens of Elenoir or other races would only have to bow their heads to the royal family, however, there are some lunatics here present, as soon as they saw someone from the royals, their eyes flashed and they thought that their lives were over. about to take off into the sky, they suddenly reacted and did not dare to stand for another second.
These exaggerated idiots knelt down and beat their heads against the ground, some even cursed the ground in their minds for preventing them from bowing their heads further.
'...?'
Faced with this situation, the other elves were perplexed and looked at them like idiots, if you don't know how to pay respects properly because of a nervous breakdown it's fine, but throwing yourself on the ground like that is too exaggerated.
Even Virion looked at them with a strange expression for a moment, he really didn't expect this, even the guards who serve the royal family only fall on one knee in his presence.
Perhaps it is from surprise or nervousness due to his sudden arrival, but the elder Virion can see through the thoughts of these people very easily, over the years, many bootlickers have come to praise him for even breathing to try and earn their favor. Please, so it is easy for you to identify these people who are approaching you out of interest.
Since everyone has seen him, Virion started to walk in the direction of Har, seeing this, Arthur didn't know whether to follow him or stay here, but at that moment.
"You come?"
Virion stopped and turned around, with this question from him, a lot of thoughts went through Arthur's mind in a second, as a former king, he knows that Virion asked that question not for him, but to demonstrate to the spectators that he is a guest and should be treated with respect.
After responding respectfully, Arthur accompanied Virion and walked behind him.
"It really is Elder Virion..."
"Yeah, that's amazing, what is a royal doing in this place?"
"Shut up, it's our honor that the former king Virion attends this funeral!"
As Virion and Arthur passed to the last coffin, Virion waved his hand at them and they all raised their heads, even those exaggerated elves who had gone to their knees earlier now stood up.
Almost immediately, the elves in the background began to whisper as if they were old gossips, they thought that Virion would not hear them, but the senses of a magician at the level of Virion allowed him to hear everyone clearly, although he did not care about these things. .
The elves began to wonder why his arrival was due, in addition, the human child behind him did not go unnoticed either, they immediately began to speculate about the identity of that child and why he was accompanying Virion as if he were someone important.
Although some elves still hold a grudge against humans, they did not dare to say anything about the presence of this human child who looks like a guest of the royal family.
'What was that in his hands at that time, a magical beast never seen before?'
As he walked towards Har without paying attention to the elves in the place, Virion asked a lot of questions in his head, the images of that small shiny creature that he saw in Link's hands are repeated over and over again in Link's mind. he.
That light that prevented seeing the true appearance was very magical, even he was unable to see through it, moreover, the small wings that came out of that light make it obvious that it is a creature.
Because of this, as a native of this magical world, Virion immediately thought that it was a magical beast that remained unknown until now.
With this idea in mind, he began to speculate on the possible link between this unknown creature and Link.
In this world, you can acquire abilities from magical beasts in various ways, those who do this are called beast tamers, the most common way is to acquire a magic core that a beast leaves after it dies, you can also buy them, though due to how special they are has increased supply and demand and prices are sky high.
The stronger the magical beast, the better quality the core will be, and thus the higher the price.
But this method has some dangers, when acquiring a core and trying to obtain the abilities of the beast, you will have to face its will left in the core, you should not underestimate its strength, it remains at its maximum even after death.
This is an illusory fight inside your body, the will of the beast will continue to resist being manipulated and its constant fighting can cause many problems in the real world, in a situation where you are fighting to the death, the will of the beast can attack your subconscious and cause you to be hit by the enemy.
It won't stop until you bend its will, so acquiring a core from a powerful magical beast doesn't mean you'll become incredibly strong from scratch, it might even consume you and die trying.
The other method is less dangerous, almost like child's play compared to the previous one, instead of acquiring core skills to strengthen your magic and mana core, you simply avoid facing the beast and make a contract with it.
This method is called bonding, as the name implies, you form a bond with the magical beast to fight alongside you in combat, in addition, it also allows you to acquire attributes in the first form of acquisition, or things like physical enhancement characteristics of its own. your bond, even after a lot of training, you can move to the second form of integration and get unique abilities from your beast, so this method seems much more reliable and efficient than the first.
However, not all beasts would want to make a contract voluntarily, so, in order to avoid fighting against them to forcefully bind them, many magicians prefer to steal the young and train them from a young age, in this way, the chances that they will agree to be your link in the future increase to an incredible 90%.
Returning to the topic, Virion and Arthur finally arrived together with Har, this made the spectator elves begin to link ideas and formulate theories again, beginning to speculate on the identity of this heroic-looking elf.
"You succeeded?"
Forcing himself to avoid asking about that magical beast for the moment, Virion asked Har about what he came to do all along, that is, the little healing spell he spoke of.
But as soon as he asked this question, he noticed Link's expression turn sad and he looked disappointed, this made Virion's eyes widen a little.
'It was a failure?'
Virion wondered this in his mind, from Link's expression it seemed that his attempt to recover the corpses to a better state had failed, but he thought that was to be expected.
In his opinion, Link is a promising magician, but his mana control is still low, this is because he lost control of his spell and accidentally attacked innocent people.
He thinks it's normal that he can't heal these bodies in such a bad state, even high-level healing magicians would have trouble healing this kind of wounds, also, from the beginning it seemed that Link had no confidence in this, so his illusion of seeing something amazing just disappeared.
Still, he thinks that creature Link showed earlier is interesting enough, Virion thought the spell failed, but what about that kid?
Obviously, Rayah's appearance was different, now he seemed more expressive than before, as if he was expecting something or something, curiously, Virion approached the coffin and took a look inside, and as soon as he did, he seemed incredulous.
'Wha-what the hell?'
Virion was speechless and his body began to tremble again in surprise, because inside there he could see the face of an 18-year-old elf, with blond hair and features similar to little Rayah, her body had been healed. perfectly.
Speechless, Virion just looked at Link waiting for an explanation about this, wasn't the spell supposed to have failed? But Link wasn't paying attention and seemed lost in his thoughts.
Looking at this young man of unknown origin, Virion wondered, if he can use this kind of miraculous spell so easily, how terrifying would he be in the future?
To achieve a regeneration effect like this with magic would definitely require an excessive amount of mana and advanced spells, moreover, the time it would take would certainly not be short.
'How the hell did he manage to do this in just a few seconds?'
It was too much of an exaggeration, especially the fact that Link called this a "little spell" almost made him have a heart attack, if that was really the case, he thought he should rethink the magic knowledge he's gained over the years. of all his life.
What haunts him the most now is, how infinitely exaggerated should a Great Spell be imagined? Would Link be able to bring someone back from the dead or something?
'Hah…I'm thinking too much, those things are impossible.'
As soon as he thought about it, he scoffed at the thought and forced himself to calm down, he thought that such a thing as reviving the dead is something that is beyond magicians, perhaps, even deities are not capable of doing it. .
Well, if common fairies are a small spell, maybe Har should name the big fairies as a big spell.
There is no comparison between a common fairy and one of the great fairies, although in BotW they were limited to improving armor, within the game there is a great fairy that is different from the rest, it has a power that violates the laws of life and death, Although it seems to be only with horses, it has the power to bring back to life your mounts that die in battle, so perhaps the great spell that Virion thought of was not far from real.
But, if we don't stick to this timeline, fairies become even more amazing, they can even endow you with magical power and increase your amount of mana, which is already at the level of the deities of this world.
Not only are they limited to this, but a bit of their power is infinitely stronger than the regeneration of little fairies, you can take a bit of their power that is stored in flasks, by doing so, you fully recover regardless of your Hp In addition, your combat power is greatly increased for a while.
If Virion found out about this, it would certainly be a heavy blow to his world outlook, from that moment on, his outlook on his life would completely change.
Regarding Arthur, he accompanied Rayah to stand on the tip of her feet and look inside, he was not so surprised unlike Virion, he had not seen the bodies before and it was impossible for him to know how bad they were, he could only get an idea thanks Since Virion told him about the last spell, he could also sense that the effect of the spell was incredible due to the old man's reaction.
He wondered if his mother would also be able to pull off something like this, completely regenerate a charred body, no matter what it looks like, it's amazing to have someone with this kind of ability around.
"Uh?"
While everyone was lost in thoughts of him, they were suddenly interrupted when Link made a move, approached little Rayah and said:
"What will you do now?"
This question puzzled Rayah for a moment, but there was only one word running through his mind and he said it almost immediately.
"Wait.."
"Wait?"
Har asked blankly, what would this child expect? However, he was able to deduce something from his actions, and Rayah himself confirmed it the next moment.
"Wait...for my sister to wake up."
'...!'
Hearing this, both Virion, Arthur and Har were stunned for an instant, then they felt sorry for this child, it seems that he is still not able to understand that his sister has died and will not return.
The three of them looked at each other, as if wondering if they should tell this little guy the truth, however, Har went ahead even before deciding on a volunteer.
From the beginning he saw himself reflected in this child, just like when he saw his family die in front of his eyes, he tried to convince himself that everything was a nightmare, that everything his eyes saw was unreal, as a result, he was murdered bluntly and without being able to do anything, perhaps, if he had accepted the situation and defended himself... he could still be alive, or at least avenge his family.
As for Rayah, he really does look a lot like him, this boy continues to cling to the idea that his sister is alive even when her corpse rests in the coffin in front of him, which is not very different from what happened with Har and his family, he continued hoping to see them again in another world even when he saw them die in front of his eyes.
So, now that this kid is trying to escape from reality just like he was back then, he won't stand idly by while Rayah loses himself or becomes a weakling waiting for death like him, then he said:
"What plans do you have with your sister?"
At this question, Rayah thought for a second before telling his future dreams, awakening his mana core, becoming a powerful mage, and giving his sister the best life he could imagine.
Har understood in the end, all of Rayah's dreams, which is why she woke up every morning, that's because of her sister, it seems that she became her reason to live and her motivation to be stronger, so now that this girl died, Rayah needs to be pushed and discover something that will inspire him to keep going.
Unlike himself, who continued his life in a new world with the intention of finding his family for a while, he must give Rayah a healthy motivation, he knows how sad it is to live hoping to meet someone who has already died, so Har had an idea, didn't he say he wants to be a wizard, who is he to ruin a child's dreams?
"Instead of sitting there waiting and doing nothing, you should start training hard, and when he wakes up, give him a big surprise with your strength."
As soon as he heard this, Rayah reacted as if those words made sense, but…
"My core...still hasn't woken up my core..."
Rayah said a little disappointed, he can't train his magic before awakening a mana core inside of him.
"If you want to become strong, you don't need a mana core, you can still train your muscles and physical abilities."
Virion said as if he was afraid that the Augmenter class would go down in history, he was worried when Link spoke as if this girl was still alive, it is impossible to know what this boy will do when his mind accepts that his sister is dead, he just hopes that Link does not make a mistake with your actions.
But Link's next words left everyone stunned.
"You don't need a mana core to start on the path of magic."
