Chapter 1234: A Summer That We Will Never Forget
Chapter 1234: A Summer That We Will Never Forget
That day was sure long and hard working, but I made sure to rest the next day and the following days were spent mostly relaxing, eating, playing in the garden with friends, familiars, and my family, and making out with Aquarina whenever we got time. Well, she mostly just dragged me to our bedroom.
In a flash, the week came to an end, and it was time to say goodbye to Cloudia, the continent where I was born and where I spent the first five years of my life. I was able to finally fulfill one of my dreams, which was not only coming back to met Yggdra, but also to explore its confines and discover its many secrets.
I wished we could have stayed for much longer, another month, half a year, hell, I would have loved to stay a whole year here. The tranquility and calmness of this continent was unmatched.
However, we couldn't. Life was busy even when you're a half-elf supposed to life for thousands of years. Despite how many might think life goes very fast for people with long lifespan, that couldn't be more of a lie.
It goes extremely slow as anybody else's lives! Unless I were sitting inside my house sleeping, life would be just as slow and tedious.
But well, I also love my life, with both its hardships and its bad times. With my family, my friends, my spirits and familiars... and my beloved girlfriend, I always wake up with energies to continue moving forwards.
I usually don't like to think about the far future, to think I would outlive everyone only makes me really sad, and it defeats the purpose of enjoying the present and being with everyone I love.
Maybe older elves might think differently, but I still like to think like the human I once was back in my first life.
"Goodbye, Yggdra..."
I looked through the window of the airship, as we moved away from Cloudia, faster and faster.
The large Eden Apple Tree, and the surrounding forest went farther away, as I felt slightly sorrowful, I didn't want to leave her alone again.
But it couldn't be helped...
"Master, I am right here. Don't worry, you don't need to say your goodbyes anymore."
However, her fairy form quickly appeared behind me, whispering to my ears.
"Ah, right! But I thought it had a distance limit?!"
"There is no such thing! Thanks to your Spiritual Heart having improved so much, your connection with me and any other spiritual being has improved a lot! As long as you can supply me with Mana, I can be with you anywhere, Sylphy."
"Phew... That's a relief! Then I'll be happy to have you around, Yggdra!"
"Me too! I can't wait to explore the rest of the world with you! And Naturia too, and everyone else!"
She was really happy, and I felt relieved that I didn't have to leave her behind again. Then again, without Lara's help, this would have never been possible. It was thanks to her that Yggdra was able to come with us through a spiritual, fairy-like form, directly connected to her main body in Cloudia.
"She looks really happy. I guess its nice you can bring her along with you." Aquarina said, smiling.
Shew as sitting by my side as the airship moved across the skies.
"Yeah~"
I rested my head over her shoulders, as I held her hand tightly.
"You're sleepy?"
She kissed my forehead after asking.
"A bit, I think I'm going to take a little nap on my girlfriend's shoulders..." I yawned. "Can I?"
"Of course you can." She kissed my lips. "You don't even need to ask."
She kissed my lips a second time before I cuddled over her shoulders and fell asleep right
away.
I was a bit tired; I had spent a lot of time yesterday using Violet's Mass Production Skill to test
it out.
I discovered several things from all the experimentation, actually.
One of the biggest things I discovered was that it seemed to only work on items I had already previously made using Alchemy.
Yeah, it can also be made with both Alchemy and Blacksmithing, but as long as I made it with Alchemy, even if it was without her help, she could mass produce it.
The cost was in EXP, and I tested it using healing Elixirs.
D Rank Lesser Elixirs cost 10k EXP to recreate.
C Rank Lesser Elixirs cost 20k EXP.
B Rank Elixirs cost 40k EXP.
A Rank was 70k.
And S Rank, 100k!
It wasn't cheap at all... But I also discovered that by supplying a few of the materials, not all of them, the cost of EXP could be greatly reduced as well!
Meaning that even with just a few of the materials, I can easily recreate most items by compensating with EXP for the rest.
I'm still thinking how to properly use this ability, but we'll see.
I bet the Witch is going to be really fascinated with the ability though. In less than a week I'll
be finally meeting my new Tutor, and I am a bit nervous.
I wonder how she is, what she does, and more...
But the sleep ended catching up to me, and I fell asleep completely through the whole trip back to Agartha.
...
When I finally woke up, it was because of the loud sound of the airship, which it made to announce its arrival on the airport.
It was so loud it startled me awake with Aquarina, the two of us bumping heads.
"Ouch!"
"Ahh!"
We looked around in confusion, and then laughed.
"Hahaha, damn, sorry." Aquarina laughed, petting my head and kissing my forehead.
"Heheh, it's fine... You sure got a tough head..." I giggled a bit.
"Sylphy! We're back home!" My mother called.
"Aquarina! Come on!" Nepheline called her daughter.
"Yeah~!" Aquarina said.
"Let's go then!" I nodded.
We ran outside of the airship, as Agartha greeted our sight once more. There was a lot of
people in the airport greeting our arrival.
Including our guards, several adventurers, and many other important people of the city.
And even...
"Grandma and grandpa?!"
