Chapter 606: Song for Anastasia
"...Isn't this a gift from Anastasia?"
Aivas raised his eyebrows and looked at Yunus.
Maxim on the side also silently cast doubtful eyes on Yunus.
"Because of the reason you also know...I may not travel next time."
Yunus replied frankly: “I don’t want to miss Isabel’s wedding no matter what.
"Although there are still a few months left, I plan to return to Avalon and the Glass Island in advance. In case something happens again and I am not able to go back in time.
"...Furthermore, with my habit of forgetting everything, I am also worried that I will lose or damage Anastasia's precious thoughts.
"Of course, if you can—I'd like you to give it to Isabel."
"Then instead of telling me, why don't you just ask Anastasia herself."
Aiwass said, looking at Anastasia: "She's not dead this time."
"--what? What?"
Moon Spirit Anastasia teleported to Aiwass' side: "Call me if you need anything?"
That was not teleportation—it was the lifting and reconstruction of illusions. There are no traces of crying on the reconstructed face of Anastasia, but it is very clean. And this brisk and cute smile.
At least the area affected by her "Healing Bell" should be within the reach of her spell.
Aivas pointed at Yunus: "Mr. Yunus wants to give the harp you gave him to his daughter... She is also my fiancée. Is it okay with you?"
"Of course."
Anastasia said with a smile without hesitation: "I gave it to you. It belongs to you, Mr. Yunus. You can dispose of it however you want - is this the relationship you have?"
Hearing this, Yunus hesitated and was speechless.
And Aiwass added: "Mainly because of the last sentence you said. You said you wanted to see the world."
"...Oh, that's just a romantic way of saying it. I can't 'see the world' from it either - but now I can really see the world from Mr. Aiwass' side!"
Anastasia had a smile on her face, and she looked at Aiwass curiously: "Mr. Aiwass! Should I call you...master?"
My parents are looking at me. Dare I say it’s okay? Aiwass thought.
He thought for a moment and came up with an idea: "You can call me - teacher."
"...Teacher? Teacher, do you want to accept me as a student?"
"Because I will take you to see the whole world, I think this can also be regarded as a lesson - a life lesson called 'Traveling the World'. Just like the Fool in the Tarot Cards..."
Aiwass said slowly, his fingers moved slightly, and the Fool card belonging to Anastasia reappeared on his fingertips: "Will you call me teacher, Aya?"
Anastasia reached out without hesitation and took her own card from the other side.
She smiled playfully: "Please give me more advice, teacher!"
Then, she disintegrated again and was taken back into the "Fool" card.
The body of Anastasia, the golden tree that had no summoning time limit, still stayed quietly in the courtyard of Grace and his wife.
She will not be moved from here to a new area until Aiwass summons her again. Unless Aiwass takes it back, it will remain in this position, providing healing and comfort to her parents.
There is no doubt that this is the first permanent summon that Aiwass obtained.
Although we still don’t know how thick Anastasia’s shield in the “moon spirit” form is… but it’s not a loss to have a student.
Aiwass raised the corner of his mouth slightly, raised his hand and took away Anastasia's harp: "Then... I will give this thing to Isabel."
When Aiwass picked up the piano, its properties immediately emerged:
[Song dedicated to Anastasia]
[Extraordinary Weapon (Dark Purple)]
[instrument, harp, hands]
[Feature: Add "dedication" path judgment to the music]
[Elf style: durability greatly improved, maintenance cost increased]
[Module - Focused Performance: When playing is interrupted, the decay speed of the effective music effect is reduced by 50%]
[Extraordinary module - Soft Holy Sound: When played only to provide gain, the person being buffed will also receive continuous treatment]
[Extraordinary Module-Wrath of Nature; when playing a piece of music that causes damage to others, the target will gain ‘Wrath of Nature’]
[Wrath of Nature: This unit’s resistance is reduced when it is damaged by ‘nature’ (beasts, plants, natural disasters)]
[Extraordinary module - Eye of Anastasia: This instrument can be played independently, replicating the performance and effect of the last complete performance]
Although this piano has no extraordinary properties.
--but there are three full awesome mods!
For the original Flower Queen Isabel, this piano could accompany her for a long time - but now Isabel does not have the ability to control plants, so the entry "Nature's Wrath" is temporarily unavailable.
This is a very valuable "milk piano"!
For the transcendent on the path of beauty, there are basically only four purposes of playing: gain, debuff, damage, and illusion. Under normal circumstances, it is not possible to heal through music; most performance effects are buffs or debuffs.
And this harp is equivalent to giving the bard a free area of healing ability.
In real life, even if you don't get hurt, you will at least feel refreshed when you are treated.
That is the refreshing feeling of healing minor injuries, relieving stress, and replenishing energy after being consumed.
For Isabel, she can relax as long as she plays the piano for herself. Aiwass doesn't have to worry about what to do if she falls ill due to overwork.
Although the queen certainly has no shortage of healers... but Aiwass has developed a strange possessiveness after leaving Isabel for more than a week: he doesn't want other bishops to use illumination to help Isabel maintain her body.
It's not because of gender issues - after all, considering the 3:7 ratio of men to women in the seminary, the proportion of female bishops is actually much higher than that of male bishops. It's because "illumination" is essentially sacrificing one's own life to heal others, but priests can replenish their vitality through fire worship, so they feel that this seems to be a lossless treatment.
Aiwass's possessiveness is... he began to hope that Isabel would only accept his "dedication".
Not even just Isabel.
This feeling is even spreading - the same is true for Aiwas's friends.
For example, Aiwas will pay a huge price to help Sherlock buy a secret book, but whether Sherlock wants to pay Aiwas back or he wants to take a secret book from someone else and return it to Aiwas, Aiwas will probably be unhappy.
It is a kind of "If you have no money, tell me, why do you want to borrow money from someone, I will give it to you directly without paying it back."
Once someone who has accepted Aiwas's offering intends to stop accepting offerings or accept offerings from others because he does not want to owe too many favors or for some other reason, Aiwas will feel anxious.
When Aiwas realized this consciousness, he conducted a psychoanalysis on himself.
He believed that this was an anxiety of "fearing that no one needs me."
... This is probably a sign of deviation on the road.
Aiwas keenly realized that his mentality was unbalanced again.
When returning to Glass Island from Eagle Cape Village, Aiwas's way of transcendence was obviously higher than the way of dedication. At that time, he had developed a kind of wild, fearless arrogance.
And now, as Aiwas's dedication path has reached the fourth energy level, completely surpassing the transcendent path... It has only been a short time, and he has developed the anxiety of "what if no one needs me".
Just like amber is difficult to prevent... mental illness based on the power of the path, even if you know the cause clearly, you can't control it. Because for ordinary people, the mentality can be adjusted by themselves, that is water without a source.
But for extraordinary people, every time they resonate with the path and use extraordinary power, the corresponding thoughts will continue to deepen.
It's like the swimming pool problem in elementary school mathematics-water will go out and in at the same time.
The greatest significance of this harp is that it can relieve Aiwas's anxiety.
It can heal Isabel's injuries, which will allow Isabel to regulate her body by herself. As for its most useful attribute of being able to play by itself and become a "bard teammate without a health bar", it is not used.
I'll sacrifice the harp to Isabel when I go back. Aiwas thought.
Then I will meet Isabel again tonight, and then I will concentrate on preparing for the promotion ceremony.
This promotion ceremony will try to capture Xiong Tiansi... Therefore, Aiwas will not be promoted with any teammates he is familiar with, but will use the assessment of the Lord of Scales and Feathers to promote alone.
—— Aiwas's first lunar eclipse ceremony!
