Chapter 48: Awakening and Harvest
"Haven't you woken up yet?" Orgarok asked, turning to the guard.
"It's the third day, Chief, but the human hasn't woken up. The guard bowed slightly and replied loudly.
"If he goes on like this, he may not be able to catch up with his companions who will save him...... There's that little girl. Algarok muttered as he thought about it for a moment and finally made a decision: "Pass my order to bring Regner to the Ancestral Altar, and I will establish a spiritual connection with him again." ”
"Yes! The guard replied, but just as he was about to leave, another guard ran up: "Chief, the human is awake!"
"Finally awake!" Alga Roque breathed a sigh of relief.
......
Regner looked at the orc guards on standby, he wanted this guy to bring some food, but when he spoke, he realized that he didn't know orc.
"Ah, on the importance of mastering a foreign language......" Regner sighed as he looked up, but just as he was feeling helpless, a magnetic female voice sounded in his head: "......%¥#%#@#"
"???" Regner was stunned for a long time, and then said to himself, "What do you mean?"
"Orc, give me something to eat. Garona's voice sounded again: "Remember to call me teacher in the future, and besides, you don't need to say it when you talk to me, just think about it in your head, I can receive it." ”
"Uh...... Good teachers. Ragnar thought silently in his heart, and then commanded the orc: "......%¥#@#"
The orc guard turned to look at Regner in confusion, and Ragner nodded, repeating it again. After confirming that the human was asking for food in orc language, the guard nodded to him and walked out.
After the orc guards left, Regner began to check his physical condition.
"Don't look at it, you've reached level fourteen now. Garona said lazily.
"Wow!" Regner was very excited, he had been soaring by three levels in such a short period of time, and it seemed that he had indeed benefited a lot from inheriting Garona's power this time. He clenched his fists slightly, feeling the power rushing through his body.
"Okay, these are all drizzles, and the attribute ability you inherited from me is the key. Garona was very unimpressed by Regner's unproductive appearance:
"Hmph, your kid's luck is really not ordinary, and he inherited my ability. Tell me, how are you going to repay the teacher?"
"Hey, hey, hey......" If there were anyone else in this room, Regner would have been found grinning like an idiot at this time, smirking alone.
"Of course, give the teacher more souls to save you from the danger of annihilation. Regner's voice was unabashedly flattering, and he picked up his swallowing light and thought silently, "Just use it to kill people?"
"That's right. Garona said, "This soul eater has disappeared in the Eastern Continent for hundreds of years, but I didn't expect it to fall into your hands. This sword can ingest the soul fragments of enemies while killing them, and now that I am the sword spirit of this sword, the soul fragments it ingests can naturally supply me. ”
"So...... This sword is self-aware now?" Regner looked at the swallowing light with some curiosity.
In Garona's introduction, the Light-Swallowing Sword, formerly known as Soul Eater, was previously a second-level artifact-level weapon. He was originally the weapon of Winrington, the famous human assassin Soul Eater in the Eastern Continent hundreds of years ago, but then Winrington suddenly disappeared from the Eastern Continent, and this weapon disappeared with the disappearance of its owner.
As a secondary artifact, Soul Eater naturally doesn't have a magical effect of devouring soul fragments. But at that time, Winrington was famous in the Eastern Continent, and no one had the courage to inquire about the other effects of Soul Eater. So, for this sword, everything is still a mystery.
And after hundreds of years of discarding, the soul fragments contained in the Soul Eater Sword, which was renamed Devouring Light, have long since dissipated. Now it only retains the ability to devour soul fragments, and as for the other magical effects, I am afraid that it will not be revealed until Regner has collected enough soul fragments.
If you make a comparison, the gap between Devouring Light and the former Soul Eater is like the difference in strength between Regner and Vellais. But Swallowing Light also has its own advantages, just like Regner has the ability of a Shadow Dancer compared to Willless, the advantage of Swallowing Light compared to Soul Eater is that she now has her own sword spirit, and it is also a very terrifying sword spirit, her name is Garona.
Garona poured her mutilated soul into the Devouring Light, saving her soul at the cost of becoming a sword spirit, thus avoiding the danger of annihilation. But if it is not replenished in time, Garona's soul will also die. The ability to devour and absorb soul fragments solves this problem well. Therefore, not only did Regnar benefit greatly from the inheritance of power from Garona, but Garona also escaped annihilation with the help of his own disciples. The two helped each other out and made a win-win deal.
"Of course, I'm a sword spirit, so the self-consciousness of Devouring Light is my Garona, but don't be like my master, or the old lady will want you to look good!" Garona's threat paled and hollow, although she was once a famous assassin in the Sanctuary, but now she was only a broken soul, and it was difficult to threaten Regner, who was all that was complete. It can be said that Garona has gambled everything on Regnar, and if this kid is now ungrateful and turns his face and denies people, Garona has no way at all.
"Of course, of course, how can a disciple be that kind of ungrateful villain? Teacher, you can just watch it! Don't worry, when I don't have to swallow it all in the future, I will definitely offer it like a family heirloom, and I will still serve incense every day!" Regna's chest was beating loudly, but he didn't tell a lie, he had received a lot of benefits from Garona, and now was naturally the time to reciprocate. Kindness must be repaid, and revenge must be reinforced, which has always been Regner's code of conduct.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it, but I don't need to, this method doesn't work at all, it's better to send me two more soul fragments. Garona was relieved to hear Regner's assurance, she had finally tested him for so long, it seemed that this kid really had to be stupid, and it was most appropriate to take him as an apprentice in this case.
"Hey, I'll do whatever you say about apprentices, teacher!" Regner replied without hesitation.
At this time, the orcs also brought back food. Considering that Regner hadn't eaten much in the past three days, the honest orc guards went directly to the kitchen and called two cooks, and they immediately lit a fire in Regner's room to roast a sheep for Regner.
"That's sweet!" Regner said as he watched the roasted, half-cooked lamb drool. He was almost crazy hungry now, so he was afraid that the guards wouldn't have enough food, but he didn't expect the guards to think very thoughtfully.
After a while, the cook cut off the roasted part and brought it to Regner.
Regner, who was dizzy from hunger, didn't care about any etiquette at this time, and looked at the fragrant barbecue and grabbed it directly. As soon as the chef served it here, Regner had already eaten almost enough, but fortunately, the two orc cooks were both chefs carefully selected by the empire for Olgarok. The two of them also moved very quickly, and as soon as Regner finished one plate, the second plate of barbecue was served.
Just as Regner was enjoying his meal, Olgarok rushed over. The guards and cooks hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Do your own thing and leave me alone. The Great Chief waved his hand in orc language, and then said to Regner, "You're awake at last." ”
"What?" Regner was stunned, "Did I sleep for a long time?"
"Three days. Olgarok said.
"What!?" Regner almost jumped, "Doesn't that mean the night of the full moon is near?"
"There's enough time for you to get back. Olgarok said, "Also, the little blue-haired girl who was with you has returned." ”
"What?!" Regner jumped up, "You mean Anne, aren't you going to keep him hostage, how could you let her go?"
"She convinced me. Olgarok shrugged, "She said that the other little girl is just as important to you, and it is enough to keep her as a hostage." So, she didn't want to stay here any longer, so she left. ”
"This woman!" Regner was furious again, he thought that Annelot had returned to the guild this time, how could she be willing to be a hostage here, leaving the ignorant Innellis behind, and he had just run back. Damn! I should have listened to my boss a long time ago, and I shouldn't have believed her!
Regner regretted it in his heart, it was because he was infatuated with Anne Lot's beauty that he believed in her so unreservedly. Now it seems that Annelot didn't care about the squad at all, she abandoned everyone and sought refuge in the guild alone. After all, Regner herself had taken all the blame, and now even if she went back, the Arcane Eyes would not embarrass her.
Olgarok didn't know what was going on in Regner's mind, so he asked, "How is it?
Regner frowned and clenched his fists, then nodded: "It's okay, I've reached the fourteenth level now, and after all my strength is exploded, it should be enough to fight with Hradik." ”
"Good. Olgarok said with satisfaction, "Then do you continue to fulfill your original promise?" I may not be able to stop you now, but at least I still have the little girl in my hand. If you choose to run away, the little girl's life will be at risk. ”
"I don't need you to remind you of this matter at all!" Regna, who felt betrayed by Annelot, was in a bad mood at this time, and he said coldly: "I will definitely bring you back the head of Heradic in a few days, but you must ensure the safety of Iniris." Otherwise, I'll take your head next!"
Olgarok was neither angry nor concerned about Regner's threat, but nodded: "I will naturally guarantee this, time is running out, you prepare as soon as possible, I am not too anxious about the head of Heradic, but your companion may not be able to wait that long." ”
"Naturally, I'm going to worry about it. After Regner finished speaking, he ignored Olgarok and just replenished his energy, but his heart seemed to have fallen into a cave of ice.
Could it be that these two years or so, these two years of love really don't matter to you at all?
