NOVEL NEXT Chapters 81
She entered her room and happily rolled around her bed.
[Wait, then what about the holy relics?]
Contrary to her initial plan, Lelia intended to use the Holy Relics to heal Kalix’s eyes.
Because she thought that was more important than breaking the spell of golden words.
However, curing Kalix’s eyes can also be achieved by getting the reward from the last quest.
[Perhaps the ingredients for that remedy are in a special shop, or there is another way to get them.]
Just to put it that way…
Now, even if the holy relics are used according to the original plan, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
[I can break the magic spell!]
Lelia bit her lips as she wanted to speak right away.
[…Let’s calm down.]
First to calm her excitement, Lelia rummaged through the closet inside her room.
Half of the holy relic has been with her since she was a child. She had brought it just in case, so she could easily take it out. She then took out the relic she had received from Ruth and placed them side by side on her table.
The two were in halves each, and when combined, they were a perfect pair.
“…”
Her fingertips trembled at the tension.
Lelia slowly interlocked the two relics with her trembling hands.
At the same time, a tremendous light poured out from the holy relic. She reflexively turned her head to her side. She did well to draw the curtains ahead of time just in case. If a passing guard had seen her, they would have thought she was using forbidden magic.
As the light faded, Lelia opened her eyes and turned her head.
Above the holy relic placed on the table, a soft glow spread like light on a moonlit night.
And an unidentified figure floated on top of it.
Its shape felt like a mirage, like a mist that would dissipate when touched.
“…”
Lelia remembered what the image that appeared on the relic was.
She has seen the stone statue before when she was staying at the Kreuzt Temple.
That image was one of the seven angels protecting Herna, a half-angel cursed by the devil. So, one half of the wing had the black devil’s wing and the other half had the angel’s white wing.
Although he is the strongest of the seven archangels, he was playing the role of a “punitive” who inflicted severe punishment on humans. So humans were afraid of that statue.
It seems that the angel was the guardian of the holy relic.
[It’s a real holy relic of a temple… ]
Lelia stared at the figure in bewilderment.
Then, a low voice came into her ear.
“Human, who has reclaimed the relics. If you pay the price, I will grant you one wish.”
The tone was arrogant, but it didn’t feel that way at all.
His voice naturally became pious even though he did not believe in Kreuztism .
It was strange because the sound seemed to be coming from her ears, from her head, and from her heart.
“However, you must pay a price commensurate with your wishes. Also, the thoughts and memories of those who have possessed the holy relics can intertwine, so you have to be patient.”
Lelia pondered those words.
[I don’t get what it means.]
First of all, he said that the price of a wish is an equivalent exchange.
She doesn’t know what the price is…
[Let me ask you first!]
“I… I want to dispel the magic spell cast on me as a child.”
“In order to unravel the magic of death, it takes life in return. Would you do it?”
“Wait!”
Lelia blinked her eyes.
[Need a life in return? Then… Are you talking about dying?]
What’s this?
It was weird.
[No, I wanted to confess to my friends, but I didn’t want to die, that’s why I searched for the relic to make a wish!]
Risk your life? Is this a joke?
This time she couldn’t even speak and just drew her breath.
“Will you do it?”
She could not think at that moment, but his angelic image urged her.
“Wait! Please wait. No, what life…?”
A human life is not a fly.
In this case, it would be better to use the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ rather than the holy relic.
It was then.
Suddenly, in front of Lelia’s eyes!
The selection window appeared.
Wait!∑(;°Д°) Need help mode? ◔ᴗ◔ All transactions must be done with caution! Alchemy will be your very own broker right now! (｡ ̀ᴗ-)✧₊˚
※ Brokerage fee: 800,000 crystals
“Uhhh…”
She was so surprised that she blinked her eyes, and then came to her senses.
It said that the help mode is helpful in all aspects of life.
She felt it again.
[But 800,000 crystals.]
So 800 million shillings… It was a huge amount of money.
That’s exactly the amount of money that she had already spent in the ‘Alchemy Lottery’ game. That’s almost all of her property…
Lelia only opened her mouth in conflict.
[Still, you can save money again, and if it’s in lieu of your life, it’s not a lot of money.]
And she had more extra money left in the Superion estate just in case.
Yes.
Lelia firmly made up her mind and pressed the “Accept” button.
In an instant, the image of the angel that had risen above the holy relic disappeared.
Lelia stood in her room for a long time with an anxious mind.
As her anxiety peaked and she felt the urge to go out and run like a madman, the help mode reappeared.
Voila!✧⁺⸜(･ ᗜ ･ )⸝⁺✧ Alchemy has completed the brokerage!
“Well, what about my wish? What about my life?”
If you hand over the reward to Alchemy, you can safely make your wish come true without the cost of ‘life’!(*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑
“You did well! What a wonderful guy!”
Lelia clapped her hands in joy. Also, in her previous life, before she died, it was good that she made a wish through the ‘Alchemy Lottery’.
If possible, she was happy to give it a kiss.
ꉂꉂ◟(˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅๑)༡
So what’s the reward?
“Then what reward should I give you?”
The required reward is 100 million crystals.
For a moment…
WHAT?!
100 million crystals… 100 billion shillings?
◔3◔…
