The Book Of Flowers
Help The Father
Then here... Tucks here... Yep!
Finally finished
Tying the bandage turned out to be quite troublesome as well...
Since I had a regeneration that exceeded my normal size, I never learned how to wear bandages like I do today
Zaphir and Veskal also had no idea how to put bandages on, so I had to do it my own way and put the bandages into the hands of Father
Huh... We're aware that this is just pretend, but at least I want their fake wounds to look convincing. If they came out without these bandages, those people would be suspicious later, no matter how strong the effect of the Aspiritus flower I took out of my body
I'm also sure that there are people watching us right now, so just moving around would also get us caught. We can't even talk a single thing about something because of this pressing tension
The five of us just kept quiet and didn't talk while looking at each other
...
"alright. I'm going to sleep first. I'm tired" Alf said
...!
"I'm coming too. You three don't be noisy" I said
Veskal, Verdea and Zaphir immediately shut up and looked for another seat from Alf's bed, while I began to climb onto my bed which was on my father's bed
I immediately put myself to sleep with the flowers I grew on my skin, along with Alf
......................
...!
Good, I got in. My father is also here
I looked around at that place. But, there's nothing around there. Whiter. Everything was only white, whether the ceiling, the ground, or whatever reach my eyes could see
Perhaps because this dream world has not been governed by Father, this place is still empty without a speck of dust other than us
I was able to enter this place thanks to my bond with Ayahanda. Because of entering this place as well, my body in the original world was having a deep sleep until I wanted to get out, just like when Verdea entered the world of her dreams
Through this place, I can at least talk freely with my father without worrying about anything
I looked at the Father who was sitting on the floor near me. He also seemed to be ready for the talks we were going to have
"So, what do you want to ask my son?"
"... First, how do you make that body?"
I asked my first question directly
I believed in the authenticity of his body, but I was curious about the method he was doing to make it
"As I said. There was someone who made it, considering that I could no longer affect the living world at all, except in the Miralius area. It also had certain restrictions and could only go through that tree
It took hundreds of years to make this body, and the man made it just in case something happened to the tree. And although it worked, the best result was just the body of this little boy
Then, the most important ingredient of this body is a replica of my soul stone. That person also made it by copying my true soul and completing the soul stone which only amounted to one out of five pieces. So, you could say that I am only my original self-reserve consciousness. Original but not original at the same time"
Hm... That's so...
It actually answered a lot of my questions, except about the real identity of the person who helped us
...
But who is that guy? His life was hundreds of years old, and he could make a perfect replica of an empty shell for a soul that was still flying. Doesn't discuss if he can plagiarize a soul itself. It took a thorough understanding of that person to be able to replicate his soul, but this mysterious helper of ours was able to do it as if he knew Alf very well
The only time I ever saw an empty shell being replenished by a soul was only the Great Tree and Claudia's body. And both of them do need a soul core that belongs to Ayahanda
That guy is not just anyone. He should at least be as strong, if not stronger than Ayahanda to make this replica
But no one is as strong as the Father as I know, except the earlier Oberon and his sons (Elf Akar)
Remembering that also made me feel inferior for not being as strong as my predecessors...
...!
Uh! I'm pensive
The father also just kept quiet giving me room to sink into my mind until I forgot we were talking
"Ehem. Next question. What will you do to help us?"
"Easy. I can still help you guys find the best way to get in and out of Crux safely
If you remember my story, I was made by God with a unique eye, which is to see the future. And those eyes were planted directly into my soul from the moment I was made, so that I could see a future that was 100 percent accurate and unchangeable, at any rate
However, the further that future reaches from now on, the more ambiguous the meaning of the prophecy becomes. I can only see clearly the meaning of my prophecy when it is approaching the time of its occurrence, or it is so great that it changes one's life. So, my blessing this will work"
"... That only?"
Alf gasped at my words. "What do you mean my son?" He asked
"... Then I'd like to ask for one way. ONE WAY we can kill Rosalia Hortensia and put an end to all of this"
"!!!"
...
"If so, I've seen the exact events. But I can't tell you" Father said quietly
"Why Father!!? I am doing this for the good of our people and everyone!! The woman must be stopped, willingly or not! And the only way is to eliminate him from life" I'm struggling
...
"... All flowers bloom for malay. Let fate pursue that woman"
"That's the answer you need. For what determines death is not you, but destiny. If you move in the wrong time, you will definitely fail"
Still is...!
"Take as much time as my son can. Then, use that time to strike him back. The Elves are indeed much stronger than humans, but humans do not have any restrictions to do everything they can"
...
*cih!*
I have to admit what my father said is very true. I should cool my head in this situation
And also, even if we could indeed slaughter Rosalia's current place, it would be completely opposite to my goal, which was to settle the matter neatly. With Rosalia's death, this matter will be much harder to resolve than it was when it started
The dead body won't be able to talk. He also had a lot of important people standing behind him right now. If I were careless, the Elves would not only be hated more by humans, but by all the races in the world, given the evil image we have on our faces today
I have to cool my head...
Achieving that goal is still very difficult at this point. To achieve it, every plan I have must be passed in one try, no more
And if I fail, the defeat of the Elves is certain to occur, and my friends will be killed or enslaved again by humans
I was more afraid of what could happen to my human friends. They should not be involved in this matter, let alone against their own people. But since they insisted, I had to put in a lot of effort to make sure they all stayed safe and alive
...
"... That's it, my son?" Alf asked, breaking the silence
"Yes, that's all. My other questions didn't seem important, so I'd better save them instead of wasting time" I replied
"... Alright. It was 6 hours ago when we fell asleep. The day may have changed the night in the original world"
Time in the dream world is strange
Though I'm sure we've been here for 10 minutes since entering
Yes already. I better get ready to go out
*ZAP!*
!!!
"What the fuck Ayahanda!? I haven't prepared myself!" I exclaimed
However, I was silent when I saw Father who looked in pain
I slowly came down from my bed to cast healing magic into his pulse, making sure he was back in normal condition
"... Don't tell me that this body is much weaker than your real one" I said slowly as I continued to drain my Mana
"Ahaha... It does. I could no longer bear the burden of that dreamworld, so I accidentally-released the bonds of our souls..." He replied, occasionally groaning in pain
...
So that's why the place doesn't contain anything...
My father doesn't have any magic power right now...
"Pig-by the way... What about the others?" Alf asked
I looked around and found out that they were all asleep in their beds
Near them, the Fae they were hiding fell asleep as if nothing had ever happened
"They're okay. And I don't feel anyone watching us anymore behind our door"
Either that person fell asleep or left, which surely no one was watching us anymore from my sensors that could sense Mana
"Vain...?"
...!
Ah... I seem to wake Verdea
"Mr Verdea. Go back to sleep" One of Fae who was nearby said
"It's okay. I'm doing fine. After all, I didn't have much time to talk casually with Vainzel" Verdea retorted, rejecting the fairy's suggestion
...
"You better get back to sleep" I said, then went back up my bed
"Heeeh...? I just want to talk"
"No. It's late, so go to bed"
"Hmph! Substantial. Then just one question"
"What's? Tell me quickly"
"Have you made a teleportation device for Collin's sister?"
. . .
Ahahaha........
I forgot
Verdea, who only knew it from the look on my face, pouted and threw her pillow at me in annoyance, then lay back and tried to sleep
The Fae who were nearby shook their heads at me, while I just looked down regretfully while grimacing in annoyance
