Chapter 606: Song for Anastasia
"...Isn't this a gift from Anastasia?"
Aiwass raised his eyebrows and looked at Yunus.
Maxim on the side also silently cast a questioning look at Yunus.
"For a reason you know... I might not travel next time."
Yunus answered frankly: “I don’t want to miss Isabel’s wedding no matter what.
“Although there are still a few months to go, I plan to return to Avalon and Glass Island in advance. This is to prevent any problems from arising and preventing me from returning in time.
"...Also, with my forgetful nature, I was worried that I might lose or damage Anastasia's precious gift.
"Of course, if it's possible—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 is not dead this time."
“—What what?”
Yueling Anastasia instantly moved to Aiwass's side: "Can you call me for something?"
It wasn't a teleportation—it was the dissolution and reconstruction of an illusion. The reconstructed Anastasia's face bore no trace of tears, but was remarkably clean. And she had a light and lovely smile.
At least the area affected by her "Healing Bell" should be within the reach of her spell.
Aiwas pointed at Yunus and said, "Mr. Yunus wants to give the harp you gave him to his daughter... She is also my fiancée. I want to ask if this is okay with you."
"Of course."
Anastasia smiled without hesitation and said, "I'm giving it to you. It's yours, Mr. Yunus. You can do whatever you want with it. So, is this the relationship between you two?"
Upon hearing this, Yunus stammered and was speechless.
Aiwass added: "It's mainly because of what you said at the end. You said you wanted to see the world."
"...Alas, that's just a romantic way of putting it. I can't 'see the world' from its side either - but now I can really see the world from Mr. Aiwass's side!"
Anastasia's face was full of smiles. She looked at Aiwass curiously: "Mr. Aiwass! Should I call you... Master?"
Your parents are watching me, how can I say yes? Aiwass thought to himself.
He thought for a moment and came up with an idea: "You can call me - teacher."
"...Teacher? Will you accept me as your student?"
"Because I'm going to take you to see the whole world, I think this can also be considered a lesson—a life lesson called 'Traveling the World.' Just like the Fool in the Tarot card..."
Aiwass spoke slowly, his fingers moving slightly, and Anastasia's Fool Card appeared at his fingertips again: "Will you call me teacher, Aya?"
Anastasia reached out without hesitation and grasped 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 golden tree with no summoning time limit - the body of Anastasia, still quietly stayed in the courtyard of Grace and his wife.
Until Aiwass calls her again, she will be moved from here to a new area. Unless Aiwass takes it back, it will remain in this state, providing healing and comfort to her parents.
There is no doubt that this is the first permanent summon that Aiwass obtained.
Although I still don’t know how thick Anastasia’s shield is in the “Moon Spirit” form...but it’s not a loss to have her as a student.
Aiwass's mouth curled up slightly, and he raised his hand to take Anastasia's harp. "Then I'll give this thing... to Isabel."
When Aiwass picked up the guitar, its attributes immediately emerged:
Song for Anastasia
【Superb Weapon (Dark Purple)】
【instrument, harp, hands】
[Feature: Adds "Devotion" path judgment to the music]
[Elf Style: Durability greatly increased, maintenance cost increased]
[Module - Focused Performance: When playing is interrupted, the decay rate of the active music effect is reduced by 50%]
[Extraordinary Module - Soft Holy Sound: When played solely to provide buffs, the buffed player also receives continuous healing.]
[Extraordinary Module - Wrath of Nature; When playing a piece of music that causes damage to others, the target will gain 'Wrath of Nature']
[Nature's Wrath: This unit's resistance to damage from 'Nature' (beasts, plants, natural disasters) is reduced]
[Extraordinary Module - Eye of Anastasia: This instrument can be played independently, replicating the playing and effects of the last complete performance]
This guitar doesn't have any special features.
——But there are three extraordinary modules!
For Isabel, the former Queen of Flowers, this harp could accompany her for a long time - but now Isabel does not have the ability to control plants, so the term "Wrath of Nature" cannot be used for the time being.
This is a very precious "milky piano"!
For those who transcend the Path of Beauty, music has essentially four purposes: buff, debuff, damage, and illusion. Normally, healing through music is impossible; most performance effects are either buffs or debuffs.
This harp is equivalent to giving the bard a free range healing ability.
In real life, even if you don’t get hurt – you’ll at least feel refreshed when you’re being treated.
It is the refreshing feeling of having minor injuries to the body healed, stress relieved, and energy replenished after being depleted.
For Isabel, she can relax by playing the piano for herself, and Aiwass does not have to worry about her falling ill due to overwork.
Although the Queen certainly has no shortage of healers...but after leaving Isabel for more than a week, Aiwass developed a strange possessiveness: he didn't want other bishops to use illumination to help Isabel maintain her health.
It wasn't a gender issue—after all, considering the 3:7 male-to-female ratio in the seminary, there were actually many more female bishops than male bishops. Rather, it was because "illumination" essentially meant sacrificing one's own life to heal others. It was only because priests could replenish their vitality through fire rituals that it felt like a non-destructive treatment.
Aiwass's possessiveness lies in the fact that... he began to hope that Isabel would only accept his "devotion".
It wasn't even just Isabelle.
The feeling even spread—among Aiwass's friends, too.
For example, Aiwass would pay a huge price to help Sherlock buy a secret book, but whether Sherlock wanted to return the money to Aiwass or wanted to take a secret book from someone else and return it to Aiwass, Aiwass would probably be unhappy.
It was a feeling of "If you have no money, just tell me. Why do you have to borrow money from someone? I will give it to you directly and you don't have to pay it back."
Once someone who has received donations from Aiwass plans to stop accepting donations or accept donations from others because they don't want to owe too many favors or for some other reason, Aiwass will feel anxious.
When Aiwass realized this, he conducted psychoanalysis on himself.
He believes this is an anxiety caused by the "fear that no one needs him."
...This is probably a sign that the road is going astray.
Aiwass keenly realized that his mentality was out of balance again.
When returning to Glass Island from Eagle Point Village, Aiwas's way of transcendence was clearly superior to the way of dedication, which gave him a kind of wild and fearless arrogance.
And now, as Aiwas's path of dedication has reached the fourth level, which is completely higher than the path of transcendence... it only took a short time for him to feel anxious about "what if no one needs me".
Just as amber is difficult to prevent... Mental illnesses caused by the power of the Tao are difficult to control even if one clearly understands the cause. Because for ordinary people, their mentality can be adjusted by themselves, it is like water without a source.
But for extraordinary people, every time they resonate with the Tao and use extraordinary powers, the corresponding thoughts will continue to deepen.
It's like the swimming pool problem in elementary school math - water is flowing out and in at the same time.
The greatest significance of this harp is that it can relieve Aiwass's anxiety.
It could heal Isabelle's injuries, allowing her to heal herself. Its most useful attribute, being able to play music on its own, turning it into a "bard teammate without a health bar," was actually unused.
I'll sacrifice the harp to Isabel when I get back, Aiwass thought.
Then I'll see Isabel again tonight, and then I'll focus on preparing for the promotion ceremony.
This promotion ceremony will attempt to capture Xiong Tiansi... Therefore, Aiwas will not be promoted with any familiar teammates, but will rely on the assessment of the Lord of Scales and Feathers to be promoted alone.
——Aivas’ first lunar eclipse ceremony!
Update completed meow!
I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with papular urticaria. I was given a box of Ebastine tablets and a box of lotion. They told me to apply it whenever it itches. I'll take it for a week and see how it goes...
