Upon entering the city, everything was brightly lit, a stark contrast to the previous wilderness. The city of Shiduwoming Beile was built on sandy ground.
Philsa also sensed the presence of travelers living in groups, both local and from other places; within and outside the continent; humans, half-humans, and even humanoids of unknown origin.
Most of the life force has entered a state of dormancy and tranquility, though some are still active.
Having grown accustomed to darkness for many years, he had trained himself to not rely on his eyes, but to judge the outside world using only a faint magical perception, which was several times more acute than that of ordinary people.
According to him, magical perception is like invisible, scattered tentacles that replace the hands in exploring the surroundings, allowing him to move around normally without the aid of his eyes.
However, the imperfections are also obvious—even with tentacles, he can't feel the color of objects. So, his world remains a dark place.
Every time she hears this explanation, Jielu is inevitably a little frightened.
However, judging from Firza's self-deprecating and joking demeanor, he seemed to no longer care much about losing his sight.
It's already rare to be able to be optimistic. In the Star Continent, countless warriors have been crippled by war. Some lost their right hands, some lost both legs, some lost their eyes like Philsa, and some even lost the skills they had dedicated their lives to honing.
Most of them became depressed as a result, and some even gave up on life.
The three headed straight for the hotel. Inside the hotel lobby, the atmosphere was unusually quiet due to the late hour and the lack of people. There were many empty tables, but the waiters were still working.
Yug had barely sat down when he got up again and went to the counter to chat with the owner. After a few words, the two had become acquainted.
This can be considered one of his special skills: he can quickly become familiar with strangers. Even if it's not to extract clues, it's to build a wide network of connections so that someone can take care of him when he's in trouble.
Although Yug is younger than Firsa, he has traveled to just as many places and certainly has more friends.
Yug would probably be a very helpful companion.
That was exactly what Gelu thought, and then her gaze turned to Philsa in front of her. He had already flipped up his hood, revealing his eye patch.
Those around seemed completely unconcerned.
The chaotic city of Wominbeile was already filled with strange and eccentric people.
I wonder if anyone knows Firsa? Whether they do or not, everyone is doing their own thing.
She continued to stare at her companion, seemingly oblivious to Felsa's presence. "He can't see me anyway," she thought mischievously.
Just as she was about to ask about the extent of her injuries, Yug had already finished his chat with the boss and returned to his seat, bringing over three cups of hot tea.
As soon as he sat down, he began, "Although the 'incident' at the Gathering of Heroes has spread throughout the continent, it seems no one here is interested in you. Now you can rest and recuperate. I should also start preparing things for you. Speaking of which..."
Yug suddenly lowered his voice, and what he said next could only be heard by the three people around the table: "I boldly asked the boss if he had ever heard of the forbidden technique to resurrect the dead. His face changed immediately, and he concluded that the dead cannot be resurrected unless they become monsters."
“Of course,” Philsa replied in a flat tone.
“I even cautiously asked the boss what he wanted to do with the Wind Vortex Stone, but he just thought you wanted to regain the power of the Wind Vortex, just like any other person.”
“Very good.” Philsa put down her teacup.
"This shows that even the well-informed innkeeper, who is also an expert in intelligence, doesn't know what you and I are up to! But we can't be careless yet; there are always smart people out there."
Yug's words were slightly teasing, but there was no malice in them; on the contrary, they put the other two at ease.
Philsa was always taciturn, and Jelu herself rarely spoke.
“I reckon that someone in Augustine has already figured it out and started to stop us.” Philsa lowered his head, picked up his teacup again, and moved with the ease of a normal person.
Although Yug knew him well, he still found it somewhat unbelievable. After all, most blind people rely on groping to get things done.
He replied to Philsa: "Fortunately, the people here don't seem interested in you, in your warrant, or in what you're trying to do."
This is incredibly good news. It's true that the king's men have begun plotting to hinder us, but even King Augustus dared not act recklessly here; what power do the king's men have to act recklessly? Therefore, let's put our minds at ease for now.”
Philsa remained silent for a while, and seeing that Jelu hadn't spoken for a long time, she guessed that she was confused by the conversation between the two.
In short, it was necessary for his companions to understand and be clear about their future plans, so he began to explain: "The 'miracle' we are looking for does not refer to traditional forbidden resurrection techniques. I know it's practically impossible to completely resurrect the dead. As for what I need to ask of Yug..."
Jelu immediately understood: Yug was a crystallizer, and Felsa wanted to revive his companion Sherry's soul through a doll's body.
She carefully voiced her guess, and Philsa gave a rare, faint smile. Yug nodded silently, indicating that she was right.
Firsa then explained that the method was theoretically feasible, and that he had gathered all the necessary materials:
The Vortex Stone that holds Sherry's complete soul, and the finest quality dolls—Yug promised to go all out in this regard.
“This is not a true resurrection, Philsa, you must understand that.”
He nodded emphatically. The so-called "resurrection" was originally meant to infuse Sherry's soul and magic back into the body of the dead.
Felsa's planned "resurrection spell" involves infusing the soul and magic of the deceased into a new body—a doll.
