Chapter 541 Showing Proof



"..." Out of all the things Valyr was expecting Mystia to say as a reason for her interest towards him, his actions greatly affecting the future of the world was definitely not something he had taken into consideration.

In his mind, he thought that the woman had taken an interest in him due to him being related to the Zeihardt clan, specifically the one everyone in the clan wanted to find. If it wasn't that, then it might be because he had interacted with her apprentice in the past and was curious as to what kind of background he had to be knowledgeable about Reinforcement Elixirs.

Nope. None of the possibilities he had come up with were the reason.

Though, pondering over it for a bit more, the possible reason about him being part of the Zeihardt clan was somewhat related to the response Mystia had given him. After all, as a Herald, he could command a level of strength that surpassed normal people.

Add on the fact that his main class was Mythic grade, then it would be no surprise for someone like Mystia to come to that kind of conclusion.

However, being told that his actions would have a great effect on the world in the future was still too sudden for him. If anything, the young man had an inclination to doubt the woman's words, due to how sudden it was.

"How could you be so sure that I have the capability to change the future, Miss Mystia?" Still skeptical, Valyr decided to ask her a question, hoping that the latter could shed some more light on her words.

"Well..." At those words, Mystia went silent for a bit, staring at the orb she was using to communicate with Valyr. After a while, a bitter smile crept up on her lips, realizing that the young man had every right to doubt her words.

"How do I go about proving this...?" Scratching the back of his head as he wracked her brain for an answer, a thought eventually popped into the woman's mind, smiling as she regained her confidence.

"I mentioned earlier that I'm one of the empire's imperial advisors, right?" Clearing her throat to catch his attention, Mystia asked Valyr a question.

"Yes?" Though he nodded in response, the young man was confused as to where she was going with her words.

"And I mentioned earlier that I have a subclass that allows me to see the future, right?"n0Velusb.c0M

"Yes, what about it?"

"How about I predict something that's going to happen in the near future in order for you to at least listen to my words for a bit?" Hearing these words come from the crystal, a doubtful expression appeared on the young man's face, thinking about the possibility of ending the conversation then and there.

"Alright." However, in the end, he decided to see what Mystia could do and what she wanted to tell him, considering that she had given him items that all looked to be quite useful to him.

"Thank goodness." Letting out an audible sigh of relief, Mystia's faint chuckle could be heard from the crystal, the sound of energy clashing with one another resounding from the crystal not long after.

Then, after a period of silence, Mystia's voice resounded from the crystal once more.

"Within the next minute, a friend of yours would send you a message, thanking you for something."

Nodding in response to those words, Valyr pondered in silence as to who among the people in his friend list would send such a message.

Ding!

Hearing the notification sound resound in his mind, the young man swiftly brought up his notification screen, his eyes widening once he had confirmed that it had come from the chat function.

Then, opening up the chat function, his eyes widened even further once he found out that the person who had sent a message was Arcenne, thanking him for paying the debt he owed her back in Clossbay City.

"Huh." Closing the chat function, Valyr felt dumbfounded for quite a while, wondering whether Mystia had just made a wild guess, or whether she had indeed predicted the message to be sent. Though, after thinking about it for a bit, he eventually believed that she had predicted it, considering the fact that he and Julian had only talked about him paying off his debt to her before the auction...

As well as the fact that she was still in the Meltierre Empire, recalling part of her conversation with Julian after the forging duel.

"Alright." Letting out a long sigh as he processed this newfound knowledge, Valyr eventually continued his conversation with Mystia. "Let's say you do have the power to see into the future, Miss Mystia. Once again, how can you be so sure that my actions would change the future of the world? Isn't the future determined by the actions of multiple people? Not just mine?"

"You are correct in that assumption," said Mystia in response. "A great portion of the future is incredibly hazy because of that, turning my subclass into something that's next to useless."

"However, there are times when looking into the future shows me a clear path."

"Yours is one of them, Valyr. Whatever you do in the near future, all of it will still lead you to changing the future of the world." At those words, the young man slightly frowned.

Though he had already accepted the fact that he would be changing a ton of things about the storyline he knew very well from his past life, especially with two world-changing quests under his belt, it still felt weird for him to hear from someone else that what he was doing was truly changing the future.

After all, with everything said and done, he was still inside a game.

Doesn't something like that already transcend the boundaries of one?

"Will my actions change the future for the better, or for worse?" Nevertheless, he decided to ignore these small details for now, asking Mystia a question that seemed to be related to the quests he had.

"That... I unfortunately do not know." Unfortunately, Mystia could not give him a definite answer. "All I know is that the scope of your actions will change the future of the world no matter what."

"What makes you say that, though?" Letting out a sigh after hearing her response, Valyr decided to move onto another topic. "Sure, I may be a Herald, so I'll eventually become stronger than most people. However, I'm still at the peak of Rank 2."

"All I'll say is that your strength will far exceed your initial expectations, Valyr," said Mystia in response. "Even the identity of a Herald will be nothing in front of your strength in the end."

"After all, you're not really a Herald."

"You're a Harbinger, Valyr."
