For so reason, Fisher suddenly thought of those Philone and Erwin types holding the Completion Manuals hundreds of years later.
Perhaps all Transferees started as pure as Tangze Asuka, Mikhail, or Caleb Wuz, but what they left behind was undoubtedly harmful, potentially causing serious disasters.
Thinking this, Fisher unconsciously said,
"No, maybe it really would be terrifying?"
Gui cradled her face and smiled, teasing,
"You’re a Transferee too, is it really okay to say that about yourself?"
"...Maybe one day I will also beco terrifying? Who can say..."
His soul was already twisted by chaos, yet he still had to use chaos to enter the Mythical Rank as instructed by Helair. It’s hard to say what terrible consequences might follow, but to successfully banish death and return to reality, he must reach a higher rank.
He had already secretly decided that he would stop after breaking through the Mythical Rank and escaping death to return to the normal tiline.
No longer using any Completion Manuals, he would focus on resolving the emotional debts he left behind. If he didn’t end up getting brutally dismbered, he might settle down as a Magic Professor, doing so research or sothing.
Of course, this was just a naïve thought. He knew those Ladies also had their pursuits, and he would want to help them achieve their dreams, untangle the knots of the past...
After all, hadn’t he already resolved the Doomsday Prophecy? What was there to panic about?
Thinking of this, Fisher’s heart suddenly beca calm, even a little confident and proud.
The Gui before him did not respond to his words, and barely ate either. The long ears amidst the black hair swayed slightly, making a crisp ringing sound. She simply looked quietly at the stage outside, occasionally exchanging a word or two with Fisher.
Fisher might have been curious about Gui because she looked almost exactly like Renie, and because she seed like an unsolvable mystery, revealing nothing about herself.
At least according to Rank division, she should also be at the [Marquis] level, should have a large fief and subjects like Heng, but she kept quiet about it, which made Fisher, who knew little of the Tree Continent, quite intrigued.
He had, of course, asked seemingly casually, but she was unwilling to say more. According to her joking remark, "If I entered the Marquis state, I’d catch you for overstepping and make you a slave."
Fisher realized her unwillingness to reveal anything and stopped asking. After all, she wasn’t Renie, only soone with the sa appearance as Renie.
He hadn’t seen Renie for a long ti, so now he just considered it as being around soone who resembled Renie to ease his longing.
They stayed in the small room with such tacit understanding, barely eating anything, and continued watching the performances outside, having desultory conversations about trivial matters, like Gui explaining the local story the actors were enacting below.
Until the Sun in the sky slanted westward, until the World Tree gradually lost its sunlight-stained colors, Fisher began to plan his departure. Outside, no one should have noticed that he had let the robot loose, it was ti to go back.
"I’m preparing to leave, Lord Gui."
"Oh, it’s okay, I’ve been out for a long ti too, it’s ti to leave as well. Hmm, I have to start offering tribute from tomorrow and et Mother within Jianmu Palace. I heard Your Majesty’s health has improved again recently, it seems that death can’t do anything to him... sorry, sorry, couldn’t help but complain a bit..."
Gui spoke, then grew embarrassed, the gentle smile also carried a bit of awkwardness. She then said to Fisher,
"But even if we are leaving, for safety’s sake, let’s go one by one... you first, please?"
Fisher lingered on her previous words, and after a brief pause, barely responded,
"...Alright."
He rose and moved to the narrow room they had stayed in all afternoon, then pushed open the sealed door, revealing the empty corridor outside.
Just as he was about to leave, he turned and looked back at the woman with Renie’s identical appearance and said to her,
"Farewell, Lord Gui."
Gui did not speak, just smiled and waved, watching Fisher as he slowly closed the door.
"Click."
