45 Chapter 41 ~ Monitoring Magi 3/4 (1/2)
…
For the past few days, Siola has been experimenting with her new power that has been given by the divine. Not only she can give her avatar instructions, she can also control her for brief moments at somewhat limited freedom.
”There are many things you can do with that power, I'm sure you can learn them all. Once you've gotten bored by it, just tell me. I will remove it then” said Konig.
Siola nodded. Many would fight to keep such power, but she's not feeling anything remotely satisfying having it.
it is a power that's necessary to keep in touch with her avatar and help her when she's in trouble. It's not a power that she would like to have personally.
”Uhm, Lady Konig.”
”Call me K.”
”Ah yes, Lady K. This um… do you know, like… that travelers are um… from a different world?”
Tilting her brows at the face of her question, ”Hm, isn't it obvious? You're from that world, right? Planet Earth or something.”
To her surprise, Siola didn't expect this. She wants to probe for more, but afraid of offending her.
”Hmm… it seems you're still confused by all of this. I suppose I can give assistance one more time.”
Snapping her fingers up, green electrical sparks wrapped her arms and then pulsed to the surrounding area. She moves it, pointing to the side. Raising her fingers as if she's raising the dead, a large building appeared.
”There, you will find all the answers you need. Now, back to the topic of your purpose here. Like I said before, I want you to fill this empty void, but I'm not necessarily talking about the stores there on the menu.”
”I want you to go outside and collect all kinds of items there and then bring them here. In this case, the world of Ekolia will be the first you visit.”
”…” Siola quickly understood what Konig is saying. Even though it seems complicated, but she speaks in a very simple way, not only that, her instruction and such were also easy to understand.
Fundamentally, this empty void is like a player home to Siola.
Konig tasked her to fill just means that she has to go on an adventure outside and any artifacts she found, she should bring them here and not using or selling them instead.
A Hub Area, basically.
”Lady Konig, there is something I want to ask you.”
”And you go back calling me Konig again…” sighing, ”What is it?”
Scratching the back of her head, Siola felt really uncomfortable asking it, ”Um… why did you choose me?”
”…” shrugging, ”Cause I have no other choice?”
”Huh?”
”Nobody in your world plays the mode I made, so… yeah. Congrats.”
”Err… huh, wait what?”
”The kid was so sparkling…. Like, very excited when he got the opportunity to serve me. I kinda like him, but oh well.”
After blinking her eyes a few times, Siola asked, ”What happened to him?”
”He's dead.”
”…” tilting her head, she was confused. What Siola saw on the menu was all sorts of powerful things, how could such a thing have happened? Not many monsters can defeat something with that has such immense power in their hands, so… how?
Konig's lips hardened, obviously, she knows what Siola is thinking.
Sighing as she turned around, ”You see, it is good to tamper your excitement and expectation before you go into a place where you haven't set a foot on. Be extremely careful. Well, that fool just goes merrily here and there, going to a dungeon unprepared…”
”… What did he expect, of course, he'd die on the first level. Not only that, but he also killed by his own companions.”
