Chương 184: Lens
Hm.
I just realised I can see.
Like, I walked for miles and miles blind with Arch... and I guess the gunk and blood melded away! Problem is though, I think my vision is still blurry... like, its hard to make out faces and other such stuff but I can still make sense of objects, wether that's a problem with my Battle Lens or my eyes is a mystery due to me not being able to remove them.
This is... well, enlightening. I kinda know what its like to need glasses now, except I don't have glasses nor a prescription. Another problem is that my vision doesn't seem to be getting better, nor would I be able to fix it... these lens wont get removed no matter how hard I try.
Best option is to either tear it off my face with Alchemical Power or Dice's pure strength... or put glasses on top of my metallic eye bindings.
Who'd figure the guy with a blindfold on 24/7 would end not not being able to see? Not me... I didn't have a single contingency for this!
Uhg... might as well try and finish up talking to people, despite being basically part blind I obviously still have motor function and can speak as made obvious by my interactions with Anise and Dice. I guess i should check up on Jotun next, she shouldn't be too far away.
Actually, she wasn't far at all! There, with the ' Morin Teens ' , Jotun was practising combative skills in just a field over!
Wait... its been 27ish years since I've died... so about 28-29 since I " Freed " Morin... are those kids in their 30s?
Dang! I could of swore they said something else about their age... they might measure it differently but... damn, they look good for their age. Ironically they look closer to Children than adults... but whatever, doesn't matter to me.
- " Ayy, Jotun. How is it going? "
" Hell. What the fuck did you do to these kids? They wont fucking leave me alone to train in peace... they are always bothering me asking for advise! "
- " Don't recall, need me to take a load of your shoulders? "
" I'd greatly appreciate that, Cobalt, but... to be honest, I'm more interested in how you engage in combat now... they wont shut the fuck up about it, so it must be cool right? "
- " Eee.. yeah, yup. Its uh... cool. "
" Right then, come on over and show us how its done. "
- " I mean... alright. "
Damnit all.
Alright so uh, remember when I launched those two kids across a field after teleporting instantly and saying ' Think about how you lost ' or whatever?
Yeah so i was actually just messing around.
I'm not skilled in combat or anything,I'm just really good at spacing and y'know, but I guess i fave these kids the wrong idea...
Do I... keep going with the bit? It fight feel wrong but... they have been motivated pretty well... mmmm.... maybe...
Yeah, whatever... ill try to keep up with the illusion, either way i do remember some cool quotes and such from my earlier years, maybe hit em' with a few of those too?
I... whatever, lets uh... get it over with.
- " Hey. "
Rizen - " Hey! It's Cobalt! Long time no see since you kicked our asses! How is it going! "
- " Good. Blind but good. Have you guys been up to anything lately? "
Rizen - " Eh. Nothing much. Magic practise here and Weapon practise there, we have been barred from actual combat since you have arrived... how much longer do you think this war will go on? "
Unlike Rizen, the beserker's kids doesn't seem to be interested in talking... he is deadly focused on his swings and practising his attacks... Unusual but whatever, less annoyance for me.
- " The war will end soon, I took out about 75% of their current army with Arch just now... so negotiations are being worked out right now I assume. "
Rizen - " Now hold on, how in the FUCK did you do that? "
I shrugged
- " No matter how much a smithy trains, the knight will wield their blades better. "
Jotun - " What's that supposed to mean? "
- " Oh, well Jotun it is an old anecdote from Earth... ' To they the blades were sharpened and splintered, to they the blades were sharpened... and to they the blades were swung. ' Its uh... a little complicated. Basically, you can't always rely on yourself... sometimes you need others to rely on. "
Jotun - " Ok now translate that into normal speech "
- " Basically Arch did most of the work when it came to fighting a large portion of them... then an 'elite' unit came while he was injured so I had to pick up the slack. We each relied on each other to succeed. "
Heh. For once I am telling the truth. Not even a single lie or anything mixed in... man, I'm feeling... good.
I let out a feint smile, I guess i should dramatize this eventually right? Here we go...
- " Rizen, make sure to watch that kid's back ay? He'll carry you to the end, just as you will. Now then, I guess I don't have a lot of time but... "
I slipped off the Ring upon my pointer finger... the Ring of Morin.. and I held it in my palm. With a final goodbye to morin... my past self... and everything that I involved myself with in the past... I give it one hard look, pass it on to Rizen.
- " He isn't listening right now... too caught up in training, he'll be a fine warrior... and maybe an even finer leader... when he is ready, pass him on the ring... and tell the queen, or whoever is in charge... I reside from position as king even if I didn't rule at all. It would be a relief for them, and maybe they'll find someone who can properly rule. "
Jotun - " C-Cobalt? You are just going to give the Ring? "
- " Yes, they have actual blood from Morin... it would be a shame if it was held by a foreigner for much longer, especially from someone not born in this world. "
Jotun - " But... Father... I... "
- " Don't worry Jotun, I have other plans... and even better things to pass onto you... and beyond that I'm not going anywhere. "
Jotun - " I... oh... so you aren't... "
- " Don't worry about a thing. Rizen? "
Rizen - " e- Yes Sir? "
- " Tell that old queen that I know that the Hob Goblin didn't eat all of my coins... now Jotun, let's go... it's about time your sword got an upgrade. "
What a dramatic finish! Not to pat myself on the back too much but If this was a movie I would of won awards! A flawless delivery!
Anywho... I figured Syn and Scarab were busy considering I haven't heard from them all day... so I'll leave them to themselves today, Its only about 6pm now so i got a few hours to kill...
So I figured I'll make Jotun a sword.
Its been a while since I even talked to her... i want to levy the mood between us with a gift, something she likes too. I know for a fact she is a combat maniac just like the rest of us.
Nothing makes us feel better than a fresh item.
Whew. What a day... i hope my lack of vision won't affect my forging capability.... Getting rid of that ring took a huge burden off my shoulders.
Alright then! Let's forge another blade!
