Chapter 82 - The Deaf When Meeting With The Angel (1/2)
Kushi got lost when he was searching for the kind chimaera. He couldn't hear any of those grateful and feracious munchings of others, but at least he knew that he was supposed to eat the food that was showcased almost in every direction he glanced at.
'Where is that big sis…' Kushi thought, as he filled his mouth with saucy steak with a mess all over his hand and tattered clothes.
The Forest Caretaker noticed the deaf boy, 'The Soul Supreme commanded me to serve everyone in need.' She then tried to use 30% of her thinking capability to determine the culture of demi-humans. 'Ah, he might be separated by his guardians.'
As Kushi glanced left and right, he was mildly altered by what he thought was a little girl with green hair and flowery tattoos that was trying to talk something out to him, yet all of the words were lost within the barrier of disability.
The young Aiseirighian showed a sign of fear. The Forest Caretaker began to worry about the boy at the same time.
After some time realizing that the girl didn't show any ill intent, he decided to conversate as he gestured his hands in sign language.
”'Can I help you!?'”
The Forest Caretaker got confused, tilting her head. The spirit then somehow grasped something, she then gestured to the boy to follow her as she walked away.
'I guess I should follow her?'
Both of them passed many kinds of people. Some had all of their families together, it made Kushi's chest tighten a bit. Both of them then got out from the gigantic buffet area where numerous kindred spirits of nature could be seen.
Meanwhile, on a nearby freshly built mana fountain.
”Cool, you can infuse the stable mana into water.”
”It seems like a mana that hasn't been marked by a miniature realm can be transferred to everything.” MF puffed her chest, closing one of her eyes as she tried to act superior in front of her wife. ”Which means I can even create a natural mana crystal at this point, fufufu. Praise me!”
”Such a feat! Such an extraordinary and awesome superior ability!” Foel exclaimed with her usual poker face.
”... I can't read you, don't tell me you developed a symbols-pill for that?”
”Kekeke.”
”Don't 'kekeke' me!” MF pouted hard. ”Ehem, I might need to upgrade my mana reactor, in this case I need a legit artifact for passive-conversion using mana circuit, can you do it?”
”I never tried to create an artifact before. I'm already on the Nascent Realm Enlargement stage, I might try one or two if I can get the schematic. How about the loot from the raid back then?”
MF shrugged. ”There wasn't any sutra, books, or codex in any kind that we can use to create them. Although I already grasped a little bit of the circuit formation from one artifact I used to create my mana reactor, I'll write the book later then.”
A smirk permeated the Ouroboros.
”The Wise One, I found a little human with horns that couldn't understand universal tongue,” said the one of the fifty vessels of the Forest Caretaker, with Kushi behind her alerted.
Kushi noticed the scary tanomobi with the monocle. He flinched before moving to the back of the caretaker. Until her eyes finally met with the calming existence of the Ouroboros' halo.
”Caretaker... I told you not to bring anybody outside the area.” MF facepalmed. After peeking through her fingers, she then noticed that the young Aiseirighian was deaf. ”Ah, why don't you try to connect your consciousness to establish a bridge to his mind?”
”Oooh, as expected of the Wise One. Great idea!” The Forest Caretaker then turned around, closing her eyes as she tried to puncture Kushi's head with a consciousness string. '”Young dragon, can you hear me?”'
'”Ah, I can hear your thoughts! Big sis! Although, why are you calling me a dragon?'”
”'You're not? Your kin have a violent wavelength as fierce as those who burn the sky, and the word dragon came into mind.'”
Indeed, Aiseirigh was once a prideful dragonfolk, with giant wings, long armored tail, and strong jaw. Again, their almighty genes degraded with time. Eventually, they will scrap all of their fierce genetics and become the incarnation of their true human predecessor.
”'So why I was brought here?”'
