Chapter 871: The Reunion of Heleqin and Fafna
After satisfying Cardinal Belisarius, Aiwass suddenly understood these cardinals.
——So you all actually have opinions in your hearts, but you just don’t mention them?
I don't know if I don't want to mention it, or I don't dare to mention it...
But since there is a demand, it is a good thing - no matter how difficult the demand is, it is always better than not knowing what the demand is.
Although Aiwass wasn't in product in his previous life, he knew that constantly changing requirements could easily lead to criticism. If a requirement is constantly changing, the most likely reason is that they don't really know what the requirement is, so they just randomly propose a date to revise it later. It's like asking someone "What do you want to eat?" and they respond with "Whatever."
After all, dishes called "casual" are always the hardest to make in this world.
"Oh yes, Cardinal Fafner."
Aiwass also thought of poor little Rhine—the child had been studying endlessly since the founding of Avalon. And it wasn't the kind of study that involved rote memorization, but rather getting beaten every day.
...After all, dragons are adaptable creatures, able to automatically adapt to the external environment and rapidly grow stronger through life-or-death crises. In these peaceful times, crises are rare, so Cardinal Fafner has begun to create artificial crises to force evolution.
This wasn't wrong, after all, the world was indeed going to change dramatically in the future. From this perspective, Cardinal Valrhona could be considered prescient.
But the problem here is that she didn't do this based on her own judgment.
It was to carry out Helechin's "last wish" and train Rhine to be the strongest warrior in the world - but Helechin himself didn't even know this.
He said this at the time because he knew Fafner well enough to know that she was a bit yandere and a little crazy.
He knew he probably wouldn't be able to return alive, and he was worried that Fafna would commit suicide, so he wanted to find something for her to do. He also wanted to remind her that she still had her child.
It is also a good wish for the child's future...similar to "I hope our child can become a great scientist in the future" or "It would be great if the child can become a high-ranking official in the future".
After Helechin's death, Cardinal Fafnir did not commit suicide.
The good news is that at least she is not dead, she is still alive, and she has raised her child well; the bad news is that she is really determined to achieve this goal - so stubborn that even the Pope cannot convince her.
Let Helechin handle this matter himself.
Coincidentally, after Aiwas merged with Aleister, the Heleqin that Aleister had gone to Avalon to conquer was automatically transferred here.
Seeing Cardinal Fafner, whose hair covered one eye and exuded a gloomy aura, turn her head, Aiwass said with a smile, "I brought you an old friend."
"...Friends?"
Fafner spoke in her low, hoarse voice.
Her voice was hoarse and indifferent, like the first words spoken after working overtime all night. She had the languor of someone who hadn't slept yet, yet felt as exhausted as if she had just woken up.
In fact, this is true.
It is said that Cardinal Valrhona has not slept for a long time.
After all, as a dragon, she had more ways to replenish her mana than just dreaming. Not to mention, she could replenish her mana and heal her wounds through prayer and fire rituals. As for why she didn't sleep...
...Maybe she doesn't want to dream.
For a giant dragon with a long lifespan, if it falls in love with someone and then watches that person die... every dream it has after that will be painful.
After the meeting with the bishops, Aiwass had already lifted the transformation of the Sin Beast. Therefore, he had long since resumed using the power of the Transcendent Path.
So Aiwass took out a card and called out, "Herchin!"
"……What?"
Cardinal Fafna was stunned when she heard this, and then her eyes suddenly widened: "Herchin...?!"
The next moment, a silver storm surged from behind Aiwass.
"—I came here at the call."
A clear voice came.
Amidst the storm, azure lightning leaped, and a translucent figure emerged from it.
At this moment, Heleqin was not wearing a helmet and had not turned into dusk. He was still the silver-armored hero who was as pure white as snow and as bright as the sun.
Gorgeous short golden hair and bright turquoise eyes.
As soon as he emerged and looked around, his eyes were immediately drawn to Fafna's figure.
At that moment, the surroundings fell into silence.
Both Aiwass and the other cardinals watched this scene in silence.
Fafna put her hand over her mouth and stared at Heleqin without saying a word. However, every time she blinked, her eyes were covered with a transparent mist for a moment.
Heleqin's expression became extremely complicated.
He scratched his forehead, then shrugged his shoulders as if it was a little itchy, and adjusted his armor - he was obviously already a spirit and would not feel anything at all.
But looking at his reaction, Fafna realized something and tears finally flowed out.
She realized that this was the real Helchin she knew.
His Majesty the Great Pope brought back her husband who had been dead for hundreds of years!
Those who died but whose bodies remained were stripped of the Four Realms, and those who died but whose souls remained were stripped of the Six Realms. Heleqin's body was cooked and eaten by the giants, so only a soul remained. This residual soul lacked even self-awareness, let alone clear emotions.
But looking at Heleqin in front of him, even though he was in the state of undead...
But with this look, clear mind and bright spirit, how can it be like an ordinary undead?
Even the Wild Hunt wasn't so clear-headed!
It's as complete as the spirit of a living person entering a dream!
"Is this also... a miracle?"
Fafner's cold and gloomy voice suddenly softened, and the sound became vague and whimpering.
The bond between them was more than just a marriage of hundreds of years. The years they had spent together far exceeded those of anyone else—even their parents, mentors, and other relatives and friends.
When they were young and weak, they were good brothers who faced powerful enemies together. They were childhood sweethearts, comrades-in-arms, brothers, lovers, partners, teachers and students... and also close friends who trusted each other.
They have weathered many life-and-death crises together, and the precious memories they have forged are as precious as pearls and their friendship as strong as diamonds.
If Farna had not been pregnant at the time, they would have died together without hesitation - Farna sometimes thought that if she had followed him, perhaps Heleqin would not have died?
Even the Giant King, without resorting to scheming, could only fight against one Heleqin. If Heleqin had Fafnir, who could maneuver at high speed, possessed sufficient combat power, and possessed healing and buff abilities, this 1+1 would unleash a power far greater than 3.
Maybe... that's a qualitative change.
Or maybe... they will be killed by the Supreme Being himself.
But no matter what, it's better than being alone.
"Sorry, Fafner..."
Heleqinna's voice sounded with a hint of ethereality.
He was originally standing there feeling uncomfortable, but when he saw Fafna crying, he immediately stopped hesitating and rushed forward in two steps.
He put his hands on Fafna's back, wanting to hold them tight and then loosen them, before finally holding her in his arms.
Feeling the cold and solid touch, Fafna's whole body twitched as if she had been electrocuted.
For a moment, she didn't dare hug Heleqin. She worried that Heleqin was just an untouchable shadow. If she tried to hug Heleqin, but her hands could only pass through the shadow and the air... Fafna couldn't imagine how she would collapse.
And at this moment, when she realized that she could actually touch Heleqin, Fafna finally couldn't contain her inner ecstasy and sadness.
She hugged Heleqin, who was in spirit form, with her backhand and buried her head in his arms. The sturdy dragon horns repeatedly hit Heleqin's breastplate like a hammer, making a crisp and real metal collision sound.
Fafner seemed to have returned to her teenage years, crying heart-wrenchingly.
Looking at this scene, Aiwass finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There are some regrets, but ultimately satisfaction.
—I have brought Helechin back to you.
Thanks to the Lord of Scales and Feathers... and the "warrior" inheritance brought back by Aiwass, Heleqin was transformed from an earth-attributed undead spirit into a wind-attributed warrior spirit, and regained his intelligence and consciousness.
Otherwise, if Fafna hugged Heleqin, who only had a simple consciousness and partial memories and was still resentful... Aiwass didn't know if he could bear such sad crying.
“That’s great.”
Aiwass watched this scene and murmured softly.
He once again realized what the changes he made to the future had brought.
He changed the future, saw more people smiling, and saw more tragedies eliminated before they were born...
——Then you will know that you are on the right path.
Update completed!
I accidentally fell asleep after eating, drank some coffee and continued writing, sorry for being an hour late——
By the way, I am still not getting enough sleep, but it’s not because I work too long. I type for about eight hours a day. The lack of sleep is mainly due to my poor mental state.
The reason I was able to stay home and code full-time after graduation was largely because my family felt that my physical condition was not suitable for going out to work. Otherwise, according to the situation of other colleagues, their families would basically complain if they saw them staying at home. I have several friends who can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month, and their families are always urging them to go out and find jobs, but I have never had such worries. My family thinks that I am healthy and take care of myself. (
