Chapter 162: A Song to Anastasia
“…… Isn't this Anastasia's gift to you? ”
Ivus raised an eyebrow and looked at Yunus.
Maxim on the side was also silent, looking at Yunus with questioning.
"Because of that reason, you know...... I'm probably not going to travel anymore. ”
Yunustan replied bluntly: "I don't want to miss Isabel's wedding no matter what."
"Although there are still a few months to go, I plan to return to Avalon and Kola Koli first. In case there will be another situation and I will not be able to go back in time.
“…… And, with my habit of losing everything, I was afraid that I would lose or break Anastasia's precious heart.
"Of course, if you can—I hope you'll be able to give it to Isabel."
"Then instead of telling me, you should ask Anastasia herself."
Ivus said, looking at Anastasia, "She's not dead this time." ”
"-What?"
Moon Spirit Anastasia teleported to Ivus's side, "Is there something calling me?" ”
It wasn't teleportation—it was the dismantling and re-reconstitution of the illusion. The reconstructed Anastasia's face showed no traces of crying, but was very clean. And this brisk and cute smile.
At least this area affected by her "Healing Bell" should be within her cast.
Ivus pointed at Yunus, "Mr. Yunus wants to give him the harp you gave him, to his daughter...... She is also my fiancée. Want to ask if you can? ”
"Absolutely."
Anastasia smiled without hesitation and said, "I gave it to you, and that's what you have, Mr. Yunus." You can do whatever you want with it - is that your relationship? ”
Hearing this, Yunus was speechless.
And Ivas added: "Mainly because of the last sentence you said. You say you want to see the world. ”
“…… Heck, that's just a romantic statement. I can't 'see the world' from it—but I can see the world from Mr. Evas's side now! ”
Anastasia had a smile on her face, and she looked at Ivas with some curiosity: "Mr. Evas! I should have called you...... The host? ”
My parents are looking at me, can I dare to say yes? Ivas said in his heart.
He thought for a moment and had an idea: "You can call me - teacher." ”
“…… Teacher? Does the teacher want to accept me as a student? ”
"Because I'm going to take you to see the whole world, I think it's kind of a lesson — a life lesson called 'Walk the World.'" It's like a fool in a tarot card......"
Ivas said slowly, his fingers moving slightly, and the Fool card belonging to Anastasia resurfaced on his fingertips, "Will you call me Sensei, Aya?" ”
Without hesitation, Anastasia reached out and grabbed her card from the other side.
She smiled playfully: "Please advise, teacher!" ”
She then disintegrated again and was retracted into the "Fool" card.
And the golden tree that has no time limit to summon, Anastasia's body, still rests quietly in the courtyard of the Graces.
It wasn't until Ivus summoned her again that she would be transferred from here to a new region. Unless Eivas takes it back, it will remain in this position, providing healing and comfort to her parents.
Undoubtedly, this was the first permanent summon that Ivus obtained.
Although it is not known how thick the shield of Anastasia in the "Lunai" form is...... But accepting a student is not a loss.
The corners of Aihuas's mouth rose slightly, and he raised his hand to take Anastasia's harp: "So this thing...... I'll leave it to Isabel. ”
When Ivas picked up the instrument, it immediately revealed its properties:
[Song to Anastasia]
【Transcendent Weapon (Deep Purple)】
[Musical instruments, harps, hands]
[Feature: Makes the song attach the "Dedication" path judgment]
[Genie Style: Durability greatly improved, maintenance cost increased]
[Mod-Focus Performance: When the play is interrupted, the decay speed of the active song effect is reduced by 50%]
[Transcendent Mod-Gentle Sacred Tone: When played only to provide buffs, the buffed person will receive continuous healing at the same time]
[Transcendent Mod-Wrath of Nature; When playing a track that causes damage to others, causes the target to gain 'Wrath of Nature']
[Wrath of Nature: This unit's resistance is reduced when it is damaged by 'Nature' (Beasts, Plants, Scourges)]
[Extraordinary Mod-Eye of Anastasia: This instrument can be played independently, replicating the playing and effects of the last full performance]
This instrument has no extraordinary characteristics.
- But there are three Extraordinary Mods!
For Isabel, the original queen of flowers, this instrument could accompany her for a long time - and now Isabel does not have the ability to manipulate plants, so the term "wrath of nature" is not used for the time being.
This is a very valuable "milk piano"!
For transcendents on the path of beauty, there are basically only four purposes for playing: buffs, debuffs, damage, and illusions. Under normal circumstances, it is not possible to treat it with music; Most of the playing effects are buffs or debuffs.
And this harp is equivalent to giving the bard a free range healing ability.
In real life, even if you don't get hurt – you can at least feel refreshed when you're treated.
It is the feeling of being healed of minor injuries in the body, relieved of stress, and replenished after energy has been depleted.
For Isabel, she can now relax as long as she casually plays the piano for herself. Eivas didn't have to worry about what would happen if she fell ill from overwork.
Although the queen certainly has no shortage of healers...... But after leaving Isabel for more than a week, Ivas developed a strange desire for exclusivity: he did not want other bishops to use illumination to help Isabel maintain her body.
It's not because of gender—after all, given the ratio of men to women in seminaries of 3:7 or more, the proportion of female bishops is actually much higher than that of male bishops. Rather, it is because "illumination" is essentially the sacrifice of one's own life to heal others, and it is only when priests are able to replenish their life force through the fire ritual method that it feels like a non-destructive treatment.
Eivus's exclusivity lies in...... He began to hope that Isabel would only accept her own "devotion".
And not even just Isabel.
The feeling is even spreading – even to Eivas's friends.
For example, Ivas will pay a huge price to help Sherlock buy a tantric book, but whether Sherlock wants to return the money to Eivus, or he wants to take a tantric book from someone else and return it to Eivus, I'm afraid Ievath will be unhappy.
That's a kind of "you have no money to tell me, why do you want to borrow money from so-and-so, I will directly give you no need to pay it back".
As soon as a person who has received an offering from Ivas intends to stop receiving the offering or accept the offering from someone else because they don't want to owe too much favor, or for some other reason, Evas will feel anxious.
When Ivus became aware of this consciousness, he psychoanalyzed himself.
He sees it as a kind of anxiety that "fears that no one needs you."
…… This may be a sign of a deviation from the path.
Ivas was keenly aware that his mindset was once again out of balance.
When he returned to Glass Island from Eagle Point Village, Ehuas's transcendence was significantly higher than that of giving. At that time, he had a wild, fearless arrogance.
And now, with the path of Aihuas's dedication reaching the fourth energy level, it is completely higher than the path of transcendence...... It wasn't long before he developed the anxiety of "what if I didn't need anybody."
It's like a puff that's hard to prevent...... Mental illness based on the power of the path, even if you know the cause clearly, you can't restrain it. Because for ordinary people, the mentality can be self-regulated, and that is the water without a source.
But for the transcendental, every time they resonate with the path and use their transcendent powers, the corresponding thoughts will continue to deepen.
It's like a swimming pool problem in elementary school math – the water will go in and out.
The greatest significance of this harp is that it can relieve Ivus's anxiety.
It heals Isabel's injuries, which allows Isabel to heal herself. As for its ability to play on its own, the most useful stat of being a "bard teammate with no health bar", it is not used.
When you get back, sacrifice the harp to Isabel. Ivus thought to himself.
Then Isabel will meet again tonight, and then it's time to concentrate on preparing for the promotion ceremony.
This promotion ceremony is to try to capture Xiong Tianji...... Therefore, Ivas will not be promoted with any of his familiar teammates, but will be promoted solo with the help of the assessment of the Lord of Scales.
- Evas's first lunar eclipse ritual!
