Ron, who was standing to the side, was unaware of Vivian's specific situation, so he could only wait.
Although Vivian's breakthrough was unexpected, the advancement process continued. Fortunately, according to Ron's observation, there were no signs of elemental fluctuations in Vivian's external body.
That's so strange. Is it possible for someone to achieve a breakthrough while sleeping?
Such a strange phenomenon...
Seeing that Vivian's condition had stabilized, Ron had the time to ask Rita, who was standing nearby, "What happened? Why didn't you stop her earlier?"
“The elemental spirits have already acknowledged Vivian’s identity…” Rita said calmly.
After listening, Ron realized that, as Rita judged, this turn of events could only benefit Vivian, but Ron was afraid it would be too good for her…
From Rita's words, Ron gleaned some key information: the humanoid elemental from before had also been categorized by Rita as an elemental spirit.
The power of time itself tends to lean towards the mystical side, and Ron really can't estimate these mysterious things. After this, he may need to investigate more.
After that, Ron stopped asking about Rita and focused on Vivian's current condition.
Vivian's maid initially appeared calm, then inexplicably smiled... followed by a look of terror... after a while, Vivian's expression returned to calm.
During this process, Vivian actually reached the extraordinary realm.
After observing for a while, Ron gradually sensed the life force of the great mage from Vivian.
Although it seemed that her maid had successfully stepped into a new level of life, she still hadn't woken up.
Then let's wait!
one day…
Two days…
...
On the fourth day, Vivian finally twitched her eyelids and showed signs of waking up.
Ron, Rita, and Little Ta were all captivated by Vivian's transformation.
Then, Vivian slowly opened her eyes, and in her vision, she could clearly see Ron's worried face.
Vivian, now fully conscious, quickly realized the situation. She had worried the young master. Vivian wanted to get up to apologize, but Ron stopped her in time: "Go to sleep. Don't think too much. It's good that you're awake."
Vivian had no choice but to accept Ron's kindness. Sometimes, her young master was like this, not at all like a young master from a noble family. But this was the young master she knew!
For the past few days, Vivian has been sleeping on the new, expensive blanket. The old one had been disposed of by Ron. In addition, various life magic spells have ensured that Vivian's body remains clean while she sleeps.
Impurities from physical evolution, including things like changing clothes, are really difficult to deal with, and Rita has been helping to deal with them these past few days.
As long as Vivian wakes up, that's all that matters.
Judging from Vivian's demeanor upon waking, it seems that her personality has not changed due to receiving the inheritance, but it is too early to draw conclusions.
Let's observe further...
Although Ron was still uneasy, Vivian seemed to be doing well for now.
Vivian lay down as instructed and began talking to Ron.
These were just some embarrassed words, like how they felt bad for having Ron take care of them, and Ron responded gently to them all:
"My maid knows she shouldn't have done that, so I hope she gets better soon."
Yes, given Vivian's current condition, this weakness may last for a long time.
Fine, I'll just go out a little later then! Anyway, the dry food and drinking water I brought are enough.
The dry rations mainly consisted of various snacks, many of which were made by Vivian herself. However, just in case, a significant portion of the snacks were purchased.
Ron stayed by his maid's side the whole time, feeding her whatever she was hungry or thirsty.
To be honest, having been a nobleman's son for almost twenty years, he had never had this experience before, which reminded Ron of his past life.
Ron had taken care of family members in this way when they were sick, so he had some experience!
Vivian was quite helpless, but she also smiled from time to time.
A few more days passed.
Although Ron was still taking good care of Vivian, Vivian clearly sensed the change in the young master's expression.
When her young master brought her food, he would unconsciously furrow his brows, and he would also glance at the top of his head out of the corner of his eye.
The young master thought Vivian hadn't noticed his little scheme to shift his attention, but how could Vivian not know? Ever since becoming the young master's maid, she had always been in charge of his daily needs.
Why? Why would the young master pay attention to what's on his head?
Vivian woke up again, and this time she finally paid attention to her hair.
Silver...silver.
Her hair has turned silver...
No wonder our young master keeps looking at the top of his head; it turns out it's his hair.
Her hair has turned silver; does that mean she'll get old?
No way! She'll grow old and ugly. Shouldn't advancing to a high mage slow down the passage of life?
Suddenly realizing she would grow old, Vivian began to feel anxious.
Vivian instinctively reached out to touch her own face.
At that moment, Ron noticed it too, and he approached and took the maid's hand first.
The young master's expression showed a moment of hesitation, followed by composure.
Vivian stopped what she was doing, and the young master said, "Vivian, all you need to know is that no matter what, you are my maid. That's all."
Hearing the young master's words, Vivian seemed to understand.
Sure enough, Ron lowered his hand, and Vivian finally touched the wrinkles on her face.
She's getting old, she's grown old...
Ron didn't give Vivian a chance to feel sad. He helped her up first and let her lean on his shoulder.
"So what if I'm old and ugly? Even if I'm old, will Vivian not recognize me?"
"Young Master, Vivian won't!"
"That settles it."
...
In the end, Vivian gradually accepted reality and had no other choice but to accept it. But she didn't know how much longer she could serve the young master.
turn out to be!
This is the price of inheritance. A few days ago, because the effects of the elemental woman's magic were still in effect, Vivian did not show any change on the surface. However, as everything stabilized, some irreversible costs became apparent.
After Vivian woke up, she slept for most of the time. During this time, Ron witnessed his maid's hair gradually turning silver.
It's strange, but life is passing by prematurely, so my hair should be white, but it's silver with a bit of shine.
It must be some kind of effect of the element!
Time is approaching the mysterious realm…
It's too hard to understand. If you can't understand it, just leave it for now, acknowledge the facts, and then try to solve it later.
During Vivian's several periods of deep sleep, Ron tried feeding her some of the Fountain of Life, and finally, it worked, slowing down her rapid aging.
But it has only provided some relief. By now, Vivian's hair is mostly silver, and it feels like she'll have a completely silver head in a few days.
The maid's face also changed at the same time. Fortunately, there was the Fountain of Life, so the girl only became an older girl and did not completely turn into a middle-aged woman.
The fine wrinkles around the eyes are not noticeable unless you look closely, but the superhuman's perception is too good. Once Vivian realized it, she immediately confirmed the fact that she was getting old.
As the two leaned against each other and began to chat, Vivian started talking about the matter of inheritance.
Vivian's legacy dream, three future timeline changes.
Vivian only mentioned two futures in her conversation; there was another future that she kept to herself.
In the two futures that Ron spoke of, one was a future of failure, and the other was a future of success.
A failed future, where the future dimension will be completely abyss-like, a terrible ending.
In another future, Ron's plans have achieved partial success, and he has once again survived the first year of disaster, but many precious things have been lost.
A realistic success story.
These things that Vivian cherishes include Ron's departure; it's unclear whether his soul entered the divine realm or he left unexpectedly... because the future ending this time is mainly based on Vivian's experience, until Vivian grows old and dies with the lifespan of a strong person.
Ron listened quietly. He was unaware of the existence of a third possible timeline, yet he was still shocked by this mysterious power of time.
Wow, that's impressive... Knowing everything you're going to learn in advance, previewing everything in life, and then getting started—wouldn't that make your progress in learning magic defy the heavens? It's like a time rehearsal, a life simulation, and it can also help you avoid future calamities!
That's incredible; no wonder there's an irreversible passage of time as the price.
From Vivian's words, Ron finally understood the various schemes that would follow. However, if he had a choice, he still didn't want Vivian to accept this inheritance... Simply put, in reality, Ron felt sorry for her and thought he should bear it himself, so why should those around him have to bear it?
Don't let Ron find out who that woman who inherited the legacy is, or what happened to the senior. We still need to take revenge!
It turns out that it was the Fountain of Life that brought about the divine life-giving magic. Without it, the inheritance of time would still have occurred, but what Vivian would have seen would have been various dream fragments, a kind of fragmented preview of everything!
Things have their good and bad sides. If you foresee everything, the corresponding price of time will be greater. It can be said that the seniors in the Time System had some conscience and stabilized Vivian's situation, at least she made a safe breakthrough. Everything that happened was delayed until she woke up.
After hearing everything, Ron couldn't help but sigh, "My maid, keep up the good work! If you become a legend, you can reclaim your fate."
Despite this, Ron didn't want to think too deeply about what he would face when he broke through to the legendary level, recalling the warning from Sera Legend in the Carlo Imperial City while preparing birthday gifts for the Empress.
As expected, time-generating talents won't have it so easy.
Are divinely bestowed magic, the Fountain of Life, and other extraordinary things not enough to cheat?
Why!
The maid went to sleep again.
Ron quietly covered his maid with an expensive thin blanket...
As the maid finished speaking and fell asleep, Vivian's hair turned completely silver.
It was another amazing phenomenon; it happened much faster than the expected few days when everyone's hair would turn completely silver.
The revelation of the future triggered a mystical law that Ron was initially unaware of, but in Vivian's future narration, she spoke of her own research into mystical laws.
The gods have an influence, which aggravates the cost. For example, the famous prophetic sages of the Orc Empire are mostly young in age but old in appearance.
Cost, the law of equivalent exchange.
Vivian knew all along, but she still spoke to Ron about it...
Sigh...
What's the use of sighing?
The reason for Vivian's silver hair was found in the future: the combination of time and water elements nourished her body, resulting in not white hair, but beautiful, lustrous silver hair.
Vivian, though clearly a young girl, has aged considerably. While she is still somewhat beautiful, Vivian has indeed changed.
Fortunately, after listening to her, Ron was able to conclude his concerns about Vivian's change in personality: she had matured a lot, but basically, Vivian was still the same person!
