Chapter 832 - 832 At the Artificial Mountain

832 At the Artificial Mountain

“...Before we return home, can we have a talk?”

While Wendy is carrying me, she asked me to have a talk first. Is this her real reason in asking me for a spar? What is she going to talk about me?

“Sure. But is that the reason you’re still carrying me? You can let me down now, you know. And if you don’t want to fly by yourself, we can both ride on Ray’s back,” I said.

“Nah, let’s go like this. I saw a good place I want to go when I was fighting you,” Wendy said.

“Should I leave?” Victoria asked.

“You can come as well,” Wendy replied.

Yeah. But I’m not fine with being carried like this. Though there are only monsters watching us. And neither of us needed healing, so no angels will approach us.

If there is someone else here, this would be extremely embarrassing. Especially since I’m perfectly healthy. Though I can just pretend that I’m injured or something if someone is watching. But that will only make them worry. What kind of power can injure someone like me? Everyone would be curious.

Then I informed Graham and Shelia to tell the others that the match is over. They can do whatever they want now and they don’t need to follow us.

.....

And so, Wendy is flying while still carrying me in her arms. Where are we going? Oh, it seems like we will go to that artificial mountain that we made in the past.

The landscape didn’t change much. But this is still an amazing place.

This was the result of many expert level mages working together. Though I think some of us were still advanced level mages at the time. But I think even if the level didn’t change from before, the same group can make this artificial mountain even better than back then.

And what about master level mage? Just one earth mage should be enough to create this mountain alone. That’s how strong they are.

And so, Wendy landed on the mountain. Right next to the lake that becomes the source of water for the village. It’s kind of crazy as well that we built a river from here all the way to the village.

“This is where you want to go?” I asked.

“Yes. This is something that we were working together to built. It’s amazing what magic can do. And it’s scary as well knowing that magic is how our world will be destroyed,” Wendy said.

Well, we don’t know yet if it was magic or some other means that destroyed our world. It’s still far in the future. Far longer after I died.

I hope that by changing the past, this didn’t make whatever destroying the world will be prepared sooner.

About this time in my past life, the cult didn’t do much. But Lana didn’t born and Marie’s mentality got affected. And Albert’s personality is totally different after that. At least that’s what I heard.

Maybe at this time, the cult should still be slowly increasing their influences. Which is why there shouldn’t be any attack at this time.

But we have stopped a lot of their plans. And we killed many of their people as well. So the future might be different and they might end up attacking us sooner. Though I don’t think that’s the case.

Maybe right now, the cult is waiting for us to drop our guard after making us think that they have stopped doing anything. Well, that’s for the agents to find out. I will just hear about it later.

Then Wendy put me down on the ground and sat next to me watching the calm lake. I can see many fishes inside the lake. Some of them are going to the river to where the village is.

“...When are we going to attack those islands?” Wendy asked after a moment silence between us.

“When the agents gave us enough reports, I guess. I heard that they are still there pretending to be one of them. None of them got caught yet. Anyway, you should know about this more than me,” I said.

Is she getting impatient? I understand. Because I feel the same.

But we have to keep calm and prepare everything. We don’t know when they will make their move, or if we will be the one making our move first.

“The longer we wait, the stronger the enemies will be. I heard that there are already five more new master level mages breaking through in those islands,” Wendy said.

I didn’t know that. Or maybe I skipped that information because it’s not worth my attention.

“Did you get too impatient and ended up reaching master level in a hurry? I hope that’s not the case for you,” I asked.

“No. I made sure that I’m not in a hurry when I’m cultivating. It’s the result of my patience. But I’m worried that the war will go on for a long time,” Wendy said.

“That’s something we try to avoid. Though in my past life, the long war was already a losing battle now that I learned how strong the cult is now already. But now, we’re no longer in a losing war. We do have a chance to win. So just be patient,” I said.

Yeah. I’m not the best person to talk with about your worries. I’m bad at consoling other people.

“I just don’t like it that I’m teaching my students so that they will enter the war. I wish that it will be over soon,” Wendy said.

Yeah. I don’t like that soon, Daniel might join us. He was just five when I found him. But there are things that I can’t do on my own. So I have to be patient. I have a long live after all.

I just hope that everyone will be strong enough to at least protect themselves until the cult is destroyed. That’s all I wish.

And Wendy also started telling me her worry. Which I can’t help at all because I’m extremely lacking as an ordinary human. I have never been ordinary after all.

I’m an Aura user. And in the past, I was just a commoner. Just a normal summoner with weak slime as his familiar and a doctor. Even after becoming a doctor, I have never lived an ordinary life. Everyone still look down on me even if I’m the one they have to rely when they’re dying.

So I can’t really solve any of Wendy’s worries. And it somehow led to Wendy and Victoria talking together.

I just do nothing and listen to everything.

“Thanks Victoria. And Roy as well. I needed this. If I don’t have this conversation, I don’t know when I will have mental breakdown. This war is frightening. And now that I become a master level mage, I will live for a long time. So I hope that I won’t have to fight in a war for most of my life,” Wendy said.

Yeah. Mental health is important. And even if all I have about this present life is good news, that doesn’t mean everyone perceive it as good news.

I told everyone how bad the situation was in my past life. And even if I told them that the situation in the present life is better, they only experienced this life. For them, it’s still tragedy.

“If you need anything, or have anything you want to say, or just someone to listen, then you can ask me. If you want to stop fighting, that’s fine as well. Maybe like Sophie, you can do other things to support from behind,” I said.

“No. I’ll continue fighting. But thanks for the tip,” Wendy said.

“I didn’t do anything though.”

After that, we... didn’t say anything. She didn’t say anything about wanting to go home. So I just stay there with her. Even if she says that she’s okay, that doesn’t really mean that she’s really okay. Though I hope that she’s truly fine.

I’m a doctor. But I’m not specialized in mental health. Though if she needs something to calm her down, I can use the calming gas on her.

In the end, I... fell asleep. We didn’t say anything at all, so I’m bored and fallen asleep.

When I woke up, I feel weight on my chest. Wendy is sleeping with her head resting on my chest.

What is it? Don’t tell me that she’s interested in me?

Well, interest should be correct. But love is not necessary true. After all, I’m just weird.

As for Victoria, she’s fishing on the lake. She noticed that I’m awake and just smiled before she focus back on fishing.

It’s night here already. And the stars here is beautiful.

I can see our world from here. The moon. It’s blue.

As for Monsters World, seen from the Earth, it’s blue as well. Only a few years ago I noticed that the moon is a planet. And not moons.

Or maybe they are originally the moon, but then monsters started living there. Or is it humans first that lived on the moon? I don’t know. And I don’t care.

Until Wendy wakes up, I’ll just enjoy the view here.
