Demi-human Girls Completion Manual-Chapter 1121 - 98: What Makes You Special (Part 3)
"That’s it?"
"That’s it."
Fisher was silent for a moment, seemingly pondering something deeply as he tossed stones into the Holy Object.
After a long pause, he finally spoke again,
"You mean to say that meeting me in Master Tao’s Barrier was purely coincidental, so why were you there?"
"Don’t forget, you approached me first, you perverted human, I did nothing. I was merely an observer; you discovered me, whereas no one was supposed to find me, and my presence wouldn’t have changed anything here."
With Gui’s statement, Fisher recalled Helair’s nearly perfect transformation and concealment abilities, which were undetectable even by the Destiny Loom. Those abilities were derived from the possessions of the elf in front of him, so logically speaking, her concealment was indeed perfect. It was just that he approached her due to her resemblance to "Renie"...
"...Even if our last meeting was a coincidence, you reaching out to me this time, was that also a coincidence?"
Gui smiled slightly, then extended her hand to pull more materials over from afar, placing them before Fisher, indicating that he should continue tossing materials into the unfinished Holy Object to shape it.
There was an array of materials before him, yet Fisher chose only the most expensive stones to throw in, as they weren’t his, and he felt no pang parting with them.
At the same time, Gui’s words reached him,
"No, it wasn’t. This time, the reason I sought you out is simple, it’s just because of ’you.’
"Me?"
"Fisher, haven’t you noticed you’re quite special?"
At this, Fisher, who was about to throw another gemstone, paused slightly.
The first thought that came to mind was: Could it be that my prized reproductive ability has been discovered again?
Fisher discreetly glanced toward his waist, but that subtle movement was caught by Gui in front of him, who couldn’t help but laugh, trying to cover her mouth,
"Hahaha, indeed, a perverted human, though that aspect of you is quite unique, in an eccentric way. But I’m talking about something else... Do you remember the method you used to escape when Tao tried to kill you?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Gui indeed had witnessed the entire journey he and his companions took in the Royal Capital, including their narrow escape in Jianmu Palace.
Fisher certainly remembered how he escaped, using the power Renie had sealed within him, attempting to take Master Tao down with him... Could the "special" Gui spoke of be related to this?
"Fisher, the Prohibition set by the chaotic power in your chest had only one layer, meaning it could only be triggered once. And in the presence of Tao, you destroyed that Prohibition, fully releasing the power inside, but not in its original manner."
Yes, originally, Renie left this Seal to use the power of fate again to send it back to the future. But back then, Fisher aimed the power at Master Tao, intending to perish together, causing no temporal shifts, only destructive force...
Gui rested her chin on her clasped hands, smiling at Fisher as she asked,
"That power, like a runaway horse, seemed ready to tear everything apart, scaring Master Tao directly before you into fleeing, and even Remiel in the sky dared not approach Jianmu Palace... Aren’t you curious why such power, which frightened two Nineteen Ranks, erupted from you causing very little harm?"
Fisher’s hand trembled slightly; after a brief pause, he threw the gemstone in his hand into the glowing Holy Object.
Fisher wasn’t a fool; he could naturally hear the underlying meaning of Gui’s words. He had initially thought that Renie’s sealed power within him hadn’t fully released and could thus be sealed back, but now he realized that the power had been completely unchained, and not only did he manage to reintegrate this fully unleased chaotic power back into his body, but he was also intact to this day?
At the same time, he suddenly recalled something Erwin had mentioned: there was a rule by the Magic Minister that everyone in the Creation Society could only read one Completion Manual, but he had clearly read both the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual and the Soul Completion Manual... Of course, assuming the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual also counts as a Completion Manual.
So, could it be that what the Magic Minister said was true, and only because of his uniqueness could he read so many Completion Manuals?
Fisher looked up at Gui before him and asked,
"So, you approached me just to tell me these things?"
"Pretty much, it’s just that you seemed to never realize how important you are, like an actor on stage who is completely unaware he’s a treasure, capable of drawing the audience onto the stage to dance with him... Besides that, there is indeed another matter. It seems you’re already at the peak of the step before entering a Myth, and it looks like you’ve chosen the path to enter the Gate of Myth, and I’m here to tell you the specific method...
"At night, find a quiet place, take out the object as the catalyst, create a wound, let the catalyst connect to your wound, and then just wait, soon you’ll discover the knack."
With that, Gui, who was exactly like Renie, gently raised her finger, taking the gemstone from Fisher’s hesitant grip, elegantly tucking it into the light mass hovering in midair.
And at that moment, the light mass seemed to be filled, and started to slowly quiver as if a water mass, gradually congealing into a specific shape.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Soon, amidst undulating ripples, the shape of the light mass quickly solidified...
It turned out to be a crown of exquisite beauty, encrusted with sparkling gemstones, but compared to other Holy Objects, Fisher felt this crown held only beauty, without any other use, mixed with a unique, muddled feel.
"Indeed, just a failure, but good that it looks nice enough; you have a good aesthetic sense."
Gui shook her head with a smile, then stood up, the wooden tables and chairs before him creaking as if about to collapse. Sensing a loss of weight, Fisher quickly stood up to prevent the shining crown from dropping to the ground, reaching out to catch it.
Yet Gui seemed unconcerned with the crown, turning to stroke the gentle camel, revealing a hint of laughter in her pale golden scattering pupils, waving her hand as she walked straight past Fisher toward the cave’s entrance.
As Fisher turned, ready to ask something, she suddenly spoke, silencing him,
"Why not give it to someone you like, perhaps there will be a surprise, at least it looks nice?"
"..."
What kind of superstitious reasoning is that?
Fisher watched as the Renie-like Gui disappeared into the shadows of the cave entrance, leaving him with the crown shaped by the gemstone’s final placement. The crown still held a residual warmth, appearing radiant and seemingly a splendid piece of adornment...
He relished Gui’s words just now, finding little interest in the crown in hand, originally intending to discard it, but as he glanced aside, he noticed the ever-observant camel watching him.
"Gurgle gurgle~"
Fisher’s eyes flickered, his tossing motion paused slightly, instead bringing the crown into his embrace.
