Chapter 255: CH.252 Alice wakes up

“By the way Lua,” I spoke up, as Lua and I were doing some basic magic practice in our room. “What reward did you get for the behemoth mission? You did get one at that time?” I asked, referring to the missions we both got to help to fulfill the prophecy regarding the behemoth at Alewatch. You know, the one that gave me the Chosen Evolution thing.

“Oh that… it was… I got a title.” Lua said.

“Is something wrong with it?” I asked, hearing the hesitation in Lua’s voice.

“No. … well, it is a bit… I don’t like it.” She admitted.

“Oh. … alright.” I said, and refocused on our training.

…

…

“Don’t you want to know what it is?” Lua asked.

“No. If you don’t want to tell me, you don’t have to.” I told her. “But if you are willing to share, I’ll listen.”

“... it… it’s the title Saint…” Lua said quietly.

“oh? Alright. And what is so… oh yeah. That.” I recalled why that title might be a little questionable for Lua to have. She does have the same name as the saint who was a member of the Hero’s party. “Does it at least have a helpful effect?” I asked.

“... in a way.” Lua said. “Because I have it, I can learn Holy Magic and it also increases the power of my Holy Magic.”

“That’s not too bad. We need to look at getting you a teacher for that. I wonder if any of my monsters can use Holy Magic? Maybe some of the fairies?”

“Yes… maybe.” Lua said. “... But Brian, if they can’t, what will we do? If I reveal myself as a saint and a system support holder, what will happen to me? Do you think the church will steal me or something?”

“Do you think they could? Honestly speaking. If the church really follows the Goddess, a system support holder should be able to command them, right? Add to that the title of saint and you should be fine, no matter what. What do you think will happen if the word gets out that the church kidnapped someone who is both a saint and a system support holder? Especially if the word comes from another system support holder.”

“... I … I’m not sure.” Lua admitted. “I’d guess they’d lose a lot of the respect they have? But what if they claimed you were lying?”

“People would likely demand that they prove it. And for that, they’d have to allow you to speak. And at that point, I could do any number of things to bring out the truth.”

“... alright. I guess we could look for someone who can teach me.” Lua gave in.

After we had lunch, Lua and I headed outside the city walls with Paulina. As well as a few guards and an agriculturist. We were there to assess some of the damage caused yesterday, and how to best deal with it.

Originally it was only supposed to be Paulina and the agriculturist doing the assessment, but as this is partially my fault, I’ll offer my support as well.

 

The assessment was, well both good and bad. Some areas, like where the dragons had been sitting/laying were expected to recover, but the area right under where my Ultimate Dragon fought Agunan was completely dead. It had caught on fire and burned, so I guess that is to be expected.

 

“The ground itself is dead. Burned to the point it is useless.” The agriculturist said. “It will likely take some years before this is usable, unless multiple earth mages can replace the entire top soil. And even then, it would take a year to have it be usable again.”

 

… wow. I didn’t expect it to be that bad.

“Any other ways of doing it?” Paulina asked.

“There are, but it just won’t be worth it. At the end of the day, this is just a crop field. It isn’t worth it to use either multiple magic stones, or large quantities of healing potions to heal the land.”

“... will just some healing potions heal this land?” I asked.

“Don’t say just some.” The agriculturist cited me. “We would need hundreds of potions for an area this size.”

“Yeah, normally. But…” As I said that, I got a card out of the collection. “Paulina, may I?”

“Go for it.” She agreed.

“Rain of Mercy.” I activated the card.
