120 Chapter 118 Choosing What To Buy (2/2)
Stella had shown back up and was giving him a look like he had broken himself again.
”Stella, watch this!”
Before, when he released his mana, it was like watching a constellation. Now, when he did it, it was like the birth of the universe. High mana was awesome!
He started forming little galaxies and whirls of star dust that would extend for thousands of light years at this scale. He literally glowed from all the mana around him.
Then he took the mana, and made a figure of Stella, with all of her mana circuits.
”Is that me?” she asked.
He nodded.
”That is how you look magically. I probably couldn't do that with someone else, but I spent so long learning your circuits to heal the babies, I could probably draw it in my sleep.”
”It's beautiful,” she whispered.
Joseph laughed. ”Yes, you are. I still don't understand this section at all, and these sections I only have an incredibly rough understanding of. That section and that section I have a vague guess at. But it's certainly you. The areas I understand are slowly increasing. I'm not sure I would be able to explain how much help this has been in understanding circuits and magic circles. I still haven't found anything as complicated as your mana paths. Nothing even in the same realm.”
”What you did for the babies was pretty awesome, even if you did almost die.”
”That rune in the floor almost killed them. I'm surprised they lived long enough for me to get there. If it weren't for you, I would never have been able to save those kids. The elven princess is the little sister I lost in one of my last lives. I don't know how she is here but without you…”
Joseph leaned over and hugged her. ”I know she's not my real sister but nothing stops me from adopting them. Dad already said I won't have any other siblings.”
He let her go and said, ”It will be several years before they are really old enough to play with. Let's be done saving the world by then so we can settle down in my own kingdom.”
”Of course, Master Joseph,” she said very seriously. ”Ready for some cookies? They're still warm.”
”Yes, please!” He shoved two into his mouth, barely able to shut it as he chewed. They were his favorite, still warm!
