Chapter Ninety-Nine: Encouragement
"Originally, I should have punched you to make you sober up...... But forget it, you're all so badly injured......" Looking at Richard's fearless eyes, Cassius finally lowered his fist with a wry smile.
"I said you were a coward...... Hehe, why don't I myself......" Putting down the long stick, Cassius sighed with a wry smile, "Ten years ago, if it wasn't for General Morgan and you, the final victory would have been nothing at all...... It was because I saw your abilities and infinite possibilities at that moment that I chose you as my heir and left the army. β
"What......"
Squatting down, the expression on Cassius's face softened: "Actually, I'm just an ordinary person who can't even protect his wife, and finally chooses to self-exile with self-abandonment." Cassius's words pierced deep into the hearts of everyone behind him.
"I've decided, though...... I'm not going to shirk my responsibilities anymore. What about you? My disciple, Richard......"
"I ......" couldn't imagine that he was so important in the eyes of the person he regarded as a hero, Richard, trembling his hands and choking, "Teacher...... I just want to make ...... I just want to make the motherland stronger......"
"That's good...... That's good......" Knowing that Richard's imprisonment would be inevitable no matter what, Cassius could only sigh with relief and confusion, "Reflect on your own shortcomings......"
The softness in his eyes disappeared, and Cassius, who turned his head to face everyone again, brought the fortitude and courage that belonged to the "Sword Master" on his face again, "Kim, thank you very much, it's hard to take care of these children who like to mess around." β
"Where." Kim, who had always been generous in everything, was a little embarrassed, and he scratched his head, "Estelle and Joshua...... The performance was really outstanding. β
"It's also because of everyone's help...... Joshua said modestly.
"Huh...... I'll talk about you later. Cassius chuckled and turned to Faye and Hyliga, "You two have worked hard too...... As an Imperial, I didn't need to be so involved in this...... I don't know how to thank you. β
"You're welcome, Mr. Bright." Heliga chuckled, "We just took the opportunity to achieve our goal...... By the way, I just helped you guys. β
"Even so, there is still a basic thank-you gift." Cassius mused, "I have informed Your Majesty, the dinner for Your Majesty's 60th birthday...... Please be sure to be on time. β
"Huh...... That's of course. I'm also looking forward to the royal family's court cuisine. β
"Really...... But the situation is not optimistic right now......" Cassius looked at Heliga, "do you need some special treatment?" β
"No need...... That's what I expected......" Helriga muttered in a low voice, her voice getting more and more subtle, "just rest for a few days, andβ"
Before he could finish speaking, Heliga's eyes went dark and he fainted.
ββ¦β¦ This is also a matter of course......" Shaking his head helplessly, Cassius looked at the boy with complicated eyes: "Use that power so violently...... If you change to an ordinary person, I'm afraid it will be scrapped a long time ago. That is, you, blessed by special powers......"

"Hey! Hey! "Heliga lay bored in the void - he had somehow entered this place not long after he had passed out beneath the royal city. At the same time, Bernardo, the Dragonborn Body, has completely recovered from that inexplicable state of weakness, and not only that, but is still alive and kicking in this environment that should belong to his inner world.
"It's noisy, can you be as steady as me?" Seeing that the dragonborn was completely crazy, going to this dragon soul for a while, and then going to another place to look, Heliga looked helpless, "You look like this, where is there a little bit of the momentum of a legendary hero." β
"It's all your fault, who made you open up so many connections with Nairn at once." Bernardo said happily, "Did you know that half of the dragon souls are already showing signs of recovery...... Of course, the actual operation is still very difficult...... But apparently this is a good sign. β
"In other words, you'll be able to regain half of your strength in no time?" Heliga was stunned, "This is something to look forward to......
"What are you looking forward to?" Bernardo sat down, "You're still tender...... Although you looked very strong when you tossed that metal bump before, it was just that the existence of "Dragonborn" itself was too strong...... It doesn't mean how much your own power grows. And at that time, in a sense, your mind has been dominated by power, and all you think about is how to vent this power, rather than use it correctly. When you meet the master of the second lieutenant level before, or the "Sword Master", you still can't look at it enough. Not to mention half of the dragon souls...... I'm still quite worried, if half of the dragon souls are really activated, with your current nature, I'm afraid it will be swallowed directly. β
"Is it that scary?" Heliga scratched his head, he was just saying it casually.
"Of course." Bernardo sighed, "I don't think I told you my previous story?" I discovered the fact that I was a Dragonborn in an accident...... And when I absorbed the first dragon soul...... After the dragon soul of Minimenil, I almost killed my closest guard. And I have to remind you that before I absorb the dragon soul, my own strength is much stronger than yours, at least I won't lose to that bear-like golden ...... What about you? Without using my strength, can you guarantee that you can beat the girl next to you? β
"You seem to have some truth when you say that." Helliga nodded, thoughtful, "Just like riding a horse, a person who is not skilled enough to ride cannot control a fierce horse." β
"Yes, if you have such an understanding and judgment, it means that you have grown. It's not the same as the child who was afraid of power back then. Bernardo approving, "And you don't have to worry, if half of the dragon souls do awaken, I will help you suppress them." After all, they have all been defeated by me, and even now, there is no reason not to obey my orders. When you really have the strength to accommodate this force, think about the next step. Of course, I'm not too worried, after all, you have mentors and friends around you, just take it one step at a time, and there's no need to rush. β
ββ¦β¦ Thank you. I didn't expect to hear such words, and Helliga was stunned, "What about you?" It's a fugitive, but I don't think you're in any hurry. β
"There's no need...... Not in a hurry. Bernardo spread his hands, "The power of the Elder Scrolls...... And that's just the tip of the iceberg - ah, the time is up, and your physical body is almost recovered. It's time for you to go back. β
"Really...... How many days have I been off? β
"Follow the algorithm over there...... About three days and two nights, right? β
"Really...... It's long enough...... Fei is probably worried about dying. β
"yes...... But you're still worried about yourself. Bernardo smiled mysteriously, "When you regain control of your body, you will notice all kinds of subtle changes...... Remember to keep it under control, goodbye. β
Before Helliga could reply, Bernardo and the lit dragon soul in front of him were shattered and disappeared as if they were welcome. Immediately after that, the body became heavier and heavier, and heavier and heavier-
Real, the pain and exhaustion all over the body.
Very pungent smell of various medicines.
Familiar, slight teenage snoring.
"It's back......"
