"I don't know what you're thinking, but you can be sure I don't mean to harm the bodies or anything."
Har caressed his forehead, he felt that the penetrating gazes of these two gave him a headache, he thought that if he did not make his intentions clear, strange rumors about him would probably be heard later.
"I see, it's good that you don't have in mind the idea I thought…"
Virion calmed down and his expression returned to normal, he thought that if this Link turned out to be 'that' kind of person then he would have to be imprisoned, it wouldn't be good to have someone in Elenoir with a strange taste for corpses.
Arthur also thought something similar, these types of madmen exist everywhere, even if it were Mr. Link, the best thing would be to get rid of this plague that desecrates corpses, in his previous life he had heard news about necrophilia, he thinks that this kind of act Impure and immoral must be severely punished.
"So what do you plan to do?"
Virion asked curiously, before he had agreed to accompany Link to apologize to the relatives of the deceased, but it seems that this boy has another idea in mind.
"I'm not sure if it will be successful, so I'll just say that it's a 'small' healing spell."-Har said emphasizing the word 'small' since, although it's not really a spell, it's literally like that.
"Oh…"
Virion said with a slightly disappointed look, from his words it's obvious that this spell is quite simple, only the next second both he and Arthur looked at Har in surprise.
"Can you use healing magic too?!"
They both asked in unison, a small healing spell is nothing for a mage who specializes in it, but what the hell is this Link?
He's obviously shown to be good at handling swords and bows, so he can be an augmenter, someone who uses his mana to strengthen his body and increase his strength, speed, or stamina.
But he also demonstrated several times that he is capable of conjuring magic, so he too can be a caster, and not just any caster, but one who might be able to control three elements, and even take one of them to the next level.
This is something they never expected, not only does he have magnifying and tri-elemental caster abilities, but he claims to be able to even use healing magic, isn't this a monster among millennial geniuses?
…
A few minutes later, the carriage stopped, and an elf quickly approached.
"Elder Virion, we have arrived at the place."-The man, dressed in elegant black clothes, was respectful with his words and stayed to one side of the door.
"Come on brat, you have to show me that you weren't telling lies about the spell."
Virion said pushing Har out of the carriage, so the three of them got out and were led by the man who had rushed earlier.
After Har mentioned it, Virion had started to ask about the efficacy of this spell and related things all the way down the road, but Har refused to answer no matter how hard the old man tried.
He already said it before, he really doesn't know if his idea will succeed, so he doesn't plan to raise expectations on a supposed spell that might not work a fiasco.
Har doesn't know it, but Virion and Arthur are looking forward to this spell, not that a healing spell is something innovative or anything like that, Virion has met many healers before, even the injuries Har caused him were already treated by one earlier, as for Arthur, his own mother is a healer.
But everything changes when this spell comes from the hands of Link, this mysterious magician that even Virion finds it impossible to know his maximum power, how effective can his spell be?
"Here."
The elegant elf said showing the way with his right arm, he lowered his head and stood to one side of the entrance, which were two large trees that intertwine forming a beautiful arc, they are adorned with white flowers that grow all over the place giving a peaceful and holy appearance.
This place was chosen by the kingdom to celebrate the funeral, it was a kind of gift and apology given to both the families and the deceased.
"I guess it goes without saying, but at least while we're in here-" Virion put the pipe down somewhere, his expression was serious and he wanted to say a few words before going in, but he was interrupted by Har who seemed to know the concerns. of the.
"Don't worry old man, I won't be disrespectful."
Har deadpanned, he was just wondering if the method he had been thinking of would succeed.
Virion calmed down upon hearing this, he seemed to be more nervous about Har's attitude than Arthur, but now he thought that he couldn't judge this Link, it seems that he is not as impulsive and immature as he thought.
The three of them walked along a grass path, adorned with the natural beauty of a flower field on their sides, at the end they could see many people who were still crying non-stop after 2 hours, beyond were some wooden coffins arranged in a line. horizontal to the road.
"Boy, we're close enough now, best to watch from here."
Before getting close enough to be noticed by those people, Virion patted Arthur on the shoulder and stopped. Before they could ask why, Virion continued:
"I am royalty and this little one is human, if we show up in front of them we will only annoy them."
These words made them see reason, if Virion shows up it would be weird since he will attract everyone's attention, and this is not a time where these people should be interrupted like that.
Also, Arthur is a human, some elves still hold a grudge against them after the war, it will only attract the displeasure of those people.
Only Har, a complete stranger, would go unnoticed in the eyes of all those elves, not only his appearance fits but also his identity, even if a family does not recognize him, they will think that he comes to see other deceased or that he is an old friend of someone from them.
They both nodded in understanding, so Arthur waited next to Virion while Har walked in front, although they are a bit far away, they can still clearly observe Har's next actions.
"Excuse me, old Virion, what is Mr. Link trying? Why did we come to this place?"-Arthur asked a little confused, although Link said before that he wanted to try something with a healing spell, why is necessary with corpses?, also with those who are still being mourned by their families.
Hearing his doubts, Virion looked with respectful eyes at Har, who was walking down the grassy path, before replying:
"Link must be thinking of taking responsibility for his mistakes, maybe he will restore the charred bodies of the deceased to a better state, he must be trying to let the relatives see his faces for the last time."
As Virion said, the bodies of those people were in such a bad state that it would be even more heartbreaking for the families to see them like this again.
Since their flesh can detach from their bodies if anyone touches them, they were delicately moved with wind spells, even inside the closed coffin, they should now be completely surrounded by beautiful flowers to cover their bodies.
"Elder Virion, you mean…"-Arthur had a surprised expression as if he received a revelation, he couldn't finish his words and looked ahead, his eyes fixed on Link, Virion anticipated his words and continued:
"That's right, unfortunately, those people who died were all victims of that 'last attack' I spoke to Link about."
Arthur heard this and was stunned for a moment, he would think Link is a fool if he heard this before, but after Virion's brief explanation, he could only tell that this Link is really a man.
At the same time, Har had arrived with those families and looked for an opportunity to get close to the coffins, but obviously they wouldn't let him get too close to a stranger.
Some elven women kept screaming loudly collapsed in front of the coffins, some teenagers hugged their mothers or fathers crying the deaths of their brothers, the scene was really sad.
"Should I do it from a distance?"
Har avoided being treated like a lunatic and looked for a better way, maybe he should perform that supposed spell without getting too close, however he noticed a coffin at the end which was perfect.
Unlike the others, this one was only guarded by a boy with a devastating expression for anyone, he seems to be about 5 or 6 years old, his hair is blonde, a common color in elves, also, he wears a black suit that suits him very well. big.
He is kneeling on the ground, he has an empty and lost look, as if he does not know why the person rests inside the coffin, or maybe he is just not able to understand the death of someone close to him or refuses to accept it.
"Hey kid, what's your name?"
In his daze, the boy suddenly heard someone seem to be speaking to him, so he turned around only to find an elf clad in heroic armor.
"Rayah."-The boy answered in a low voice, his emotionless eyes and his expressionless expression made Har feel a little strange, he seemed to see himself reflected in this little boy again.
"You've got a good name, kid." Har smiled as if to encourage this little guy, he put his hands on his knees and crouched down a bit.
He doesn't know much about these things, but they sound like the names of the Egyptian gods, Ra and Iah, which is how he knew the sun and moon gods in his past life respectively.
"Do you mind if I come a little closer?"
Har asked pointing to the coffin to the side, when he said it out loud he realized how strange this question is, but the boy didn't seem to mind and just shook his head.
'I hope it works..'
After thanking the boy, Har walked towards the coffin with a guilt-ridden expression, due to such a small mistake he had done something terrible, he hopes he can undo his mistake this way.
At Virion's dubious expression in the distance, Har opened the coffin containing the body that must have been someone Rayah's acquaintance, but he couldn't see the body directly, only a large cluster of beautiful flowers.
The boy saw his actions and his eyes widened, his face showed confusion for the first time, but he didn't know exactly what was going on, so he stared at it very confused, it seemed to be the first time he had attended someone's funeral, the concept of death in his mind was clear and non-existent at the same time, even though he heard it many times, he really did not know what would happen to someone who has died.
Getting back to the topic, Har reached out and squinted his hands a little, as if he were holding a non-existent bowl, only the next second something unprecedented happened.
The boy's jaw dropped, he rubbed his eyes as if to check that he wasn't hallucinating, in the distance, Virion and Arthur were stupefied.
Arthur was very surprised by what he saw, but he really does not know many things in this world, so he thought that what he was seeing was something normal, however, as someone who has lived his whole life in this world, how could Virion not knowing when something is unknown?
"What is that?" Virion asked and pinched himself to make sure his old eyes weren't failing him, his expression showing disbelief and surprise like never before.
"Don't you know?"-Arthur asked even more confused, only seeing Virion's expression did he realize that Link had shown something incredible.
In Har's outstretched hands, a light shone in the shape of a sphere, it was something very small, but definitely something out of this world, a fairy.
Small wings were sticking out of the light and you could see how they flapped to keep flying, the little fairy wrapped in light circled peacefully around his palms as if she didn't give a care in the world.
'At least I was able to take it out of inventory, which is already an important step.'
Har thought a little relieved, it means that at least he can let these things interact outside of the game, with this done, it only remains to try.
Instead of using the in-game features to drop items, Har preferred to get the little fairy into the coffin with his bare hands, but he was unsuccessful, the little fairy flatly refused to come out of his palms.
'Doesn't it work this way?'
Har had a gloomy expression, if this way doesn't work then it only remains to do it by the traditional means of the game, but he has his doubts about this, when you throw a fairy it is interpreted as if you are releasing it, so they leave and disappear, is it Could it be different outside of the game?
'I can only try.'
Har stopped hesitating, until now he has had the option of the system, rooted in him as the character of the game, to throw the little fairy as if it were a common inventory item, a virtual circle that only he can see was centered inside the coffin, this is how you choose the place where you want to drop the objects.
The funny thing is that the virtual circle went through the flowers when he aimed into the coffin, it felt like it reacted to the body, this made Har's expectations rise.
[Press A to release] [Press ^ to zoom out]
Not paying too much attention to the virtual messages in front of his eyes, which appear whenever you carry an object in your hand, Har sighed silently before continuing, with a thought, he imagined the A button being pressed and the little fairy flew out of the room. her hands.
Now should be the time for the little fairy to fly away and disappear from this world, however, the little fairy did not fly into the sky, but followed the place indicated by the virtual circle before and entered the coffin, illuminating the interior. and passing through the flowers, it was a fantastic and beautiful scene.
Ding*
With a sound similar to a bell, as quiet as dripping water and at the same time as loud as a doorbell, a dim light shone under the flowers, which began to slowly disperse, letting out a small pillar of pink light, the light illuminated the face of Har who had been amazed by what his eyes saw.
When the flowers dispersed, the fairy had used her regenerative power and the face of an elf could be seen under the flowers, her body was no longer charred, she didn't even have any injuries, the fairy's power took effect and it turned out to be the same as when is used on the player, as if to rewind the body's time to a moment when it is in perfect condition.
However, this was not what surprised Har the most, he did not have time to rejoice that his method seemed to be effective, because there, inside the coffin that had become dark again, he could see a small and beautiful flying creature that returned the look.
