925 Vicente's Inheritance
"Maybe..."
With Vicente's answer, Layla and Nova looked at each other for a moment, still with worry in their hearts, the expressions on their faces were not good. But silently, they believed it was possible.
'With Vice's talent, six pentagrams capable of evolving, a place stronger than the northern Polaris Realm, and some luck, he could grow up quickly.' Layla thought silently.
Nova thought the same. 'Maybe he can. The history of the change between the continents probably won't change. But it's possible that he'll find a loophole by getting stronger.
It should have been impossible for Lauren and Nina to recover, but he managed to make them both better... We also know nothing about what happens during the ascension to the Supreme Continent. If there's some kind of benefit to that, maybe he'll get there even stronger than he is now.'
Why did Nova think of the possibility of a benefit from simply going to the Supreme Continent? Normally, a qualitative improvement would bring a general improvement to a magician's overall strength. As one moved up a stage, they would feel improvements in all of their characteristics, even in essences that didn't evolve naturally, such as bestial-origin pentagrams.
Perhaps there was an additional benefit to ascending to the Supreme Continent? Nova didn't know, but she didn't rule out the possibility. Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com
With these thoughts, she still felt pessimistic and sad, but less so.
"What now?"
"Now I make the armor I can make. I'll strengthen the armor that already exists in our domains, strengthen the defenses of the cities and our territory. If I'm here for at least a few months, I can at least leave you prepared for my absence." Vicente replied to Nova.
The two women looked at him in silence, but kept their feelings to themselves.
He adds, "I will try to spend the early mornings and evenings with you. I will use my time during the day to make these improvements.
I don't want to leave without living with you and Annie."
In the meantime, he had spent time with his family, making himself available to Annie and their wives in the mornings and evenings. With his ability to open wormholes, he could even go out of the realm and return the same day.
In this way, he gradually taught Annie more important things!
...
"Annie, soon I won't be here anymore. You'll have to take care of your mother and aunts for me," Vicente said as he finished upgrading some more armor in his forge, wiping his sweaty face with a handkerchief.
A chubby little girl watched him from a small wooden chair, her eyes wide and shining as she looked at her father.
Annie was already quite intelligent, aware of the calamity on the continent and her father's role in it. She had heard from him several times that he wouldn't be around for much longer and had understood, even though she didn't want to.
She still got teary-eyed when she heard her father talk about it, but that had gradually changed since he had started asking her for favors.
"Will you do it for me? They'll be safer if you take care of them." Vicente bent down beside Annie and kissed her forehead.
"I'll do my best, Daddy!"
"Good girl. I'll teach you my trade and leave you a gift before I go. I want you to use it wisely to help them. These will be your weapons." He said stood up, leaving Annie to think about what this gift would be.
Meanwhile, he had the Cataclysm Moon Pendant in mind, an item that had its problems but could refine extremely strong negative powers.
'I would leave the Dragons' Amulet with you if I could, but this item is too powerful, Annie. The Cataclysmic Moon Pendant can affect you even if you do nothing. I'm afraid it will make you suffer a little, but it will give you good power.
With my blood and the Cataclysm Moon Pendant, you'll be able to become a Magus!'
