52. Chapter 52 – Fish Pond Master Heine
Chapter 52 – Fish Pond Lord Heine
With Megumi attached to Naga, George, who was still moving a second ago, collapsed softly into his chair.
His body slowly slid down and was held down by Arthur.
Megumi had spoken yesterday from Arthur’s life to his fighting prowess, and ended by saying that he treated old George like a father.
So these two were more like brothers than master and servant.
Although the poison hadn’t cleared up yet, he was no longer in any serious condition, it was just that he looked more or less funny.
His mouth was askew and his neck was not straight.
He picked up George on his back and walked over to Heine.
There was something more deep in his eyes that had been murderous.
“You’re very talented.”
He said briefly.
Heine froze.
“What?”
“You have a talent for being a warrior.”
Heine subconsciously wanted to laugh, but he couldn’t at those eyes.
He was serious.
“But warriors are too limited.” Heine deliberated, “You just saw that.”
Arthur shook his head, “I don’t understand those, but I know that you can’t live without warriors, just like you can’t live without mages. You have great talent, it’s a shame to waste it.”
Heine laughed softly, “When you say I have a great talent, you mean ……”
“Your anger is clean.”
“Clean?”
“Your emotions are untainted, anger is anger, pure.”
Heine was still comprehending the words, but he had already left with George on his back.
He was going to find Rowan, who was located in the alchemy lab of the lord’s mansion.
The latter had been picked up for protection since he bought the Soul Loss Water.
George’s body was still alive but weakening every day.
There was nothing Dylan could do about that.
His potions were all about studying how to fuck people up and had no interest in saving lives.
So Heine gave Matt’s research notes to Rowan of Poison Spider’s Kiss to help with the latter’s research.
Rowan was a smart man.
Although his daughter’s poison was solved, his wife’s blood spell was an old disease, so he just needed the notes.
After Heine explains what’s at stake, he chooses to take the risk of getting the Lost Soul Water.
Whether his accession was willing or not, only he knows.
Either way, he was a smart man.
…
At that moment, Heine beckoned to the pile of undead.
“You guys come with me.”
He led the group of summons to George’s study and opened the secret room.
Wyatt: “This is the secret room I told you about, the mystic spell may be down there! I guess it’s one of the things that made Heine reject George that day, too bad George doesn’t know anything about it ……”
Mr. Sa: “Holy crap, there really is a spell? My big brother is hiding a lot of stuff!”
Mr. Xia: “Is this the first day you met Heine? He’s not always this stuffy.”
Catch the Goat: “I suddenly have a bold guess.”
Mr. Sa: “Speedy said.”
Catch the Goat: “You guys said that these spells are summoning and communicating, could they be left behind by the people who made the game? Or maybe there were these first before someone went to Earth and made the game, otherwise why is this a novice village?”
Mr. Sa: “No ah Sheep, aren’t you the most resistant to this kind of thing that uses the unknown to argue about the unknown and scare yourself for fun?”
Catch Sheep: “In the past that was too many unknowns, we now have a plot party, we can talk tough, right, Sister Belly?”
Hui Hui was a bit terrified, “I, I don’t know, I’ve never been involved in a discussion about the fourth wall, I can’t provide any information on that ……”
Mr. Xia: “Don’t panic yet, Brother Goat’s question it just isn’t a question, and he doesn’t expect you to answer it.”
Huihui: “Huh? But he asked ah ……”
Mr. Sa: “So you’re done with just ‘ah yes, yes, yes’.”
Mr. Xia: “Mr. Sa you’re at least as enlightened as four Hui Hui!”
…
With a gag like that, the topic runs out of steam.
Heine had actually thought about something similar, but as Mr. Sa said, at this stage it was just a matter of scaring himself for fun.
This time, though, there would be less fog in front of him again.
Coming into the chamber, Heine lifted up the carpet and stood Naga on it.
He then recruited Megumi back before something happened to her.
Taking a deep breath, Heine communicated with the Genjutsu spell in front of him.
As his Yuan Spirit affinity increased, his perception became clearer.
He saw that the silver threads did not pass through the spots, but rather intertwined into a silver curtain of light, calm as the surface of a lake.
He immersed his perception into it and was greeted with an overwhelming sense of welcome.
It was here that the spells were the most complete and the Yuan Spirits were the most active.
Heine felt like he was instantly surrounded by a group of children. “Welcome~welcome~welcome~”
“Hello~Hello~Hello~”
“……”
With the experience from the last time, Heine skillfully released her goodwill and then cut to the chase.
“What kind of work do you guys do?”
“Fishing~ Fishing~ Fishing~”
Fishing?
It’s more abstract this time.
Heine simply admitted it outright:
“I’m stupid, so ‘fishing’ is what it is.”
“Idiot~ Idiot~ Idiot~”
Holy crap, it’s okay to admit it!
But then a piece of thought was delivered.
Heine continued to delve deeper into her senses, and for a moment, she came to a familiar white world.
The very place he had last arrived at in his own cellar.
Combined with the picture in his mind, or “instruction manual”, he knew exactly where this place came from.
In the beginning, the person who created this meta-spiritual formation only wanted to open a door to the other “realms”.
Perhaps he wanted to travel to the Underworld or some other place, but he didn’t realize that it led to this space.
It was empty, like a dead sea.
And now ……
It was also empty.
Heinrich Heine, in his “divine” state, knew it well.
Not long ago there were 281 bubbles.
But after he took away two, the rest dissipated.
Heine withdrew from it, and he told Megumi to continue reading Naga’s memories as he sat on the floor and began to review them.
What is known is that the timeline on the AGE side is going backwards, and that the player must be killed by Thanatos’ divine power in order to appear.
Apparently, the last time he saw them, they were “expired”.
This more and more validates the previous suspicions:
It was his choice that caused them not to cross over.
Suddenly, the word “fishing” popped into his head.
Like “bridge-building”, it referred to the work done by the spirits themselves.
In other words, the bubbles we saw before were fish they caught from the game side?
If you look at it that way, your own summoning is also the same as fishing. ……
The silver spots are the bait, this is the fish pond, and the cellar is the place to cast the rod.
Gitil Manor is the place to talk to the fish ……
This also explains why the silver flecks on George disappeared and Naga didn’t.
Because he hadn’t “fished” with it yet.
So this is a …… fish pond?
Seems reasonable.
It’s just like having constipation for two or three days and then unloading it all at once!
It’s as soothing as unloading all at once after two or three days of constipation!
The reason why he himself was in the air force this time wasn’t because his level wasn’t good, it was because the fish pond hadn’t been restocked yet!
Thinking of this, an even bolder thought popped up.
Don’t you have ready-made fish around yourself!
He stood up excitedly and pointed at the three skeletons.
“Stand over here, all of you! And you!”
He motioned for “Naga” to lean over as well.
Then Heine activated the spell once more.
As the silver-colored lake reappeared, he heard the four of them exclaim.
Mr. Sa: “Crap what the hell?”
Megumi: “Who …… is it who’s little kid?”
Catch the Goat: “Where are the kids in this place!”
They also heard the Yuan Spirit “welcoming” them.
The five of them then “dive” together.
This time, the feeling was completely different from the last time, Heine obviously felt that he was carrying “four people”.
It was like flying four kites at the same time.
He “gripped” the kite strings tightly and reeled them in to the bottom.
When he opened his eyes again, Heine saw the four flames in a top-down view.
They were of different colors and brightness.
As the “fish pond master” who had complete control of the place, he easily recognized the four.
The gold-colored dim flame was Catch the Goat.
The purple colored faint flame was Mr. Xia.
Chief Sa and Megumi are both silver, the latter brighter than the former.
At the same time, the silver shattered light in the air was like milk swallows returning to their nests, merging into the four flames.
Among them, Capturing Goat and Teacher Xia absorbed the fastest, General Sa was slightly second, and Huihui absorbed almost nothing.
And the four people who should have started a discussion on this did not have any communication at this time.
It was as if they were asleep.
