BXBX NOVEL Chapter 509 Welcome Back Wisey (4)
"Use something that belongs to her world…" Eli repeated the elder\'s words in a mumble. The first thing she thought was the book of knowledge, however she frowned.
If she takes out the book of knowledge, then its existence will be revealed and she does not know what consequences it will bring.
Apart from Leon and Kayden, she preferred not to have a fourth person to know the existence of the book as of the moment.
"Mommi~ Mommi!!! Stwaff! The stwaff!!" Little Han saw his mommy\'s troubled expression and gently patted her.
His eyes twinkled excitedly as he suggested using the staff.
"The staff?" Eli suddenly remembered the staff which was an artifact used by Asa who was also from the heavenly realm. "That\'s right! My baby is so brilliant!"
Eli lifted Little Han and kissed his cheeks in happiness. Not only did Little Han solve her dilemma about keeping the book\'s secrecy, it was also the perfect tool to use as everyone in the Green Wave institute knows of the existence of the staff and has consented to Chief Eirrlon giving the staff to her, the only Asani left.
Eli then placed Little Hand on her side then took Asa\'s staff out of her space pouch. "Grand Chief, we shall use this item as they are of the same nature as my spirit beast."
Grandchief Fafnir and Grandma Alynne did not get surprised to see the staff on Eli\'s hand, after all they knew that the Guardians of the Earth, Seas, and Wind have already hinted their relationship with her.
"Then it shall be used, Lady Eli." Grandchief Fafnir waved his hands and instructed Eli and Little Han on how to wake her up.
"You shall sincerely call her forth while striking the shell lightly, no need to use your physical strength as it is not necessary."
"Alright…" Eli nodded and looked at Little Han with a gentle smile.
She could not help but be moved when she realized Little Han\'s intention, this little man infront of her is really one of a kind.
"My love, shall we call Wisey together and wake her up?" She asked.
"Yesh, mommi!" Little Han bobbed his chubby head, nodding eagerly. He moved to clumsily climb on her mother\'s lap.
"Are both of you ready?" Alynne and Fafnir asked, deeply warmed by the delicate interaction of the mother and child.
"Yes/Yesh!" They both answered.
Then with Grand Chief Fafnir\'s signal Eli lifted the staff a little bit and called Wisey\'s name along with Little Han.
"Wisey, time to wake up!"
"Sisi, wakey wakey!"
Ting!
A sound of a bell being hit rang on Eli and Little Han\'s ears. Instantly the daylight that amply illuminates the room became so dull compared to the light that came out between the cracks that were slowly appearing on Wisey\'s egg.
The four could not contain the excessive brightness of the golden light and closed their eyes. Eli held Little Han\'s hands and instinctively embraced him to protect him from the excessive light.
The bright golden light completely washed out their vision as they were doused by a gentle and energizing light.
"Whew~~ finally I am out!!!" As the light subsided, the four heard a childish yet playful voice in their midst.
"Sisi!!!" Before the adults could recover from the temporary impairment of their vision, Little Han had already seen Wisey out of her shell and happily called her name.
"Ohhh, little prince master! You\'ve grown up so well~~~" Finally when they saw a barn owl swiftly flying towards Little Han, they could finally confirm that the spirit beast was awake.
Little Han hugged Wisey\'s little owl body while she, on the other hand, rubbed her heartshaped face into his chubby cheeks affectionately.
At some point Eli also summoned Baobao and both of them welcomed Wisey back, "Welcome back Wisey!"
Eli could not help but feel her eyes sting in the tears threatening to fall when she saw her very first buddy finally around, with her same playful nature.
It\'s just a shame that Leon is not around, otherwise, her family would be finally complete.
The elders smiled as they allowed the four to have their emotional reunion. But after a considerable amount of time, Grand Chief Fafnir gave her a signal.
Understanding it, Eli asked Baobao and Wisey to take Little Han out to go while she remained inside to talk about some matters.
While they were waiting for Kayden, Grand Chief Fafnir and Grandma Alynne could now finally show the ripples in their eyes and looked at the now-emptied dragon nest that looked like it lost its purpose.
"Young lady… the nest…" They finally set aside their pride and asked.
"As I have said earlier, this dragon nest is given by a knight. Although I very much wanted to tell you all the specifics as a way of saying thanks, the identity of the person is a sensitive one. I also do not know if I am in the right position to divulge information about them."
Eli shook her head and answered the question they obviously wanted to ask. "The most that I can say is that they belong to my fiance\'s knight corps. Other than that, I am afraid that I would have to ignore my morals if I did say more."
She was firm in her decision as she respected the people under Leon\'s wings. The crimson blades were all of different background and descent but it was kept hidden from the public.
That was because, except for Olivier, the rest of the Crimson Blades were the children that were captured to become potion eaters, experiment subjects, and pill testers by the Spectres who had taken root in the empire.
It was also the same reason why they were significantly stronger than their registered mage classes. If this was known to the public, not only will they become terrified but they might also ignite some ideas in their minds and do as the evil did to them.
That\'s why, before these children were released to have a chance to live their new life, all of the traces of their origin and their descent were taken away. For some, they were even using a long-term disguise to hide the qualities that would identify them as people with abnormal identities.
That is why, Eli does not dare to say anything about any of them, probably only Olivier\'s identity can be discussed.
When they heard that the person who owned the dragon nest is under Leon, they no longer persuaded Eli to tell more as they knew about the reputation of Leon\'s Crimson Blades.
"No, we understand, Lady…" Alynn tried to calm herself down and looked at Eli gratefully.
She knew that Eli had already compromised by lowering their scope of the investigation as the Crimson Blades were only twenty-three people including Leon.
"One last thing to know about my lady… that person… did he have a good life under the Third Prince?" Fafnir\'s voice quivered as he asked the question, but he still persisted to complete his inquiry.
Eli smiled and looked at the dragon nest, Blaze and the faces of the members of the Crimson Blade Knights appeared in her mind as she replied,
"I guess so… because if he was not, then he would have not become selfless enough to dote on my son and give him this nest… the only remembrance of his identity and his forgotten past…"
She believed that the Crimson Blades were happy with their new lease on life because if not, they will not find in their hearts to sincerely love Little Han beyond his identity.
"I see… I see.. Thank heavens…" Fafnir and Alynne tried not to cry as they still have to face another subject matter to discuss, but the expression on their faces hinted to Eli that a portion of the burden in their heart was relieved.
Fortunately, the elder couple managed to calm their emotions before Kayden arrived. With that, the four once again adjusted their state of mind and discussed the matters of the Main Temple and the war.
–
While this was transpiring, the family of three, Calderon, Shesha, and Fabio were also in a tense situation.
Calderon followed her mother and father who were visibly shaken upon the sight of the dragon nest.
\'I knew it, my mom was shaken! She must have been hurt by my father\'s infidelity!\'
\'How could he have another dragon nest when I am his only son?!\'
\'Now my mother is in pain!\' Calderon clenched his fist very tightly and tried to bottle up his emotions until they reached their own private lounge.
But as soon as they stepped into the private lounge, Calderon did not even have the chance to lash out at his father when Sesha collapsed to the ground and wailed in heartbreak.
"Fabio… oh Fabio… that nest… my eyes did not fool me, right? That nest… that was the nest we made for our firstborn… Abeloth!"
"Yes… my heart… it is definitely Abeloth\'s nest… We cannot be mistaken about it…" Fabio replied, this time his eyes were also drowned in tears.
Behind them, Calderon froze as his mind buzzed,
\'What are they saying? Firstborn?\'
\'Aren\'t I the only offspring my mom and dad gave birth to?\'
