The room was completely silent after that question, but breaking the same, while showing in his eyes and face the great distress he was feeling at that moment, the old man asked "Can you help him or not?"
"…"
"Come on boy, answer soon because I don't..."
"Okay!…" Noah closed his eyes, and after sighing deeply he said, "…I can help you…"
Upon hearing that, the old man showed a small happiness in his features, and asked "So, what do you need to do it?"
"... I need to be alone with her for a while."
After hearing the response from Noah, the woman who was just behind the old man, she slowly started walking towards Noah as she said, "Oh, my ..."
The old man quickly raised his arm to stop her from passing, looked at Noah and said
"I'm going to ask you one last time, so you better be sure of your answer. … Can you really cure it? "
"…Yea…"
The old man looked Noah intently from top to bottom, and after a few seconds of silence he said "... Come on." as he passed Noah and walked towards the door.
"What?! But…"
He looked at the woman and after that, without even wanting to, she looked at Noah and passed him, while showing a certain contempt.
'... What's with that old woman? ... '
The woman passed the old man and went out the door, but before he did the same as she did, with his hand on the door, the old man looked at Noah and said, "Many have lied to me in the past, and none of them are among us today. So I really hope that you will be able to keep your word, because if you fail. You will quickly meet with all of them. "
…Swallows…
*********
After the two left the room, Noah sighed and said, "Shit! What the hell do I do now? "
[You just need to take the girl's flame out, don't you?]
"Ah thank you so much for telling me the obvious."
[You don't have much time Noah, the girl is sure to die in a few days.]
"You should already know that I don't care about that at all."
[Yes this is true. But what are you going to say to Sir outside when he comes in here and sees her dead?]
"…"
Noah looked at the girl and, after a few seconds, said, "But how do you expect me to do that? I can't even get close to this woman. "
[The phoenix soul inside her body is now reacting to the flame. And because of that you are feeling these pains in her body.]
"...So does that mean it's really okay for me to absorb this flame?"
[Affirmative!]
"And how do I absorb it?"
[Normally, both the flame and the beast that would absorb it, would feel each other and the beast would quickly find it, so that it could join it.]
"Okay, but I already know where the flame is. So what do I do now? "
[The flame would normally also go to the beast, when it gets close enough. But now the flame is already in someone's body, so they are probably not feeling the phoenix.]
"Okay, so what?"
[You will need to make her feel the phoenix, and after that she will come to you.]
"And how do I make her feel like a phoenix?"
[You will need to put some of your own IQ into her body.]
"Oh this looks like it's going to be easier than I thought."
[But there is a catch.]
"What did I go to open my fucking damn mouth for?" he sighed and continued "Let's say what's the matter?"
[Her body is very weak, so if you inject too much IQ, or even make a mistake when controlling it, it is very likely that she will die sooner than expected.]
"… But when I take the flame out of it, it will recover, right?"
[Affirmative!]
[She will wake up exactly 3 days after the flame has been removed. But depending on the severity of the situation, it will be impossible for her to cultivate going forward.]
"It does not matter to me. I said I would help her with the flame, but I never said I would help her cultivate."
[And what are you going to do after you get the flame?]
"I already have something in mind, but I'm still thinking about it, so I'm not sure yet."
[Didn't you say you were going to help Sophia's mom? Why don't you do that?]
"No, it is not yet the right time. ... I know very well what it is to feel pain, both mentally and physically. And one thing I can say about it is that, no one can take it forever. "
[… What do you mean by that?]
"(Sigh) In my view, she has been feeling this pain for years. And as I said, no one can endure this forever. So, in a little while it will surely break. It may take a few days, or even weeks, but it will definitely happen. "
[And do you plan to wait until that happens? Until she can't take it anymore, and the pain succumbs?]
"Exactly."
[People have different resistances, so it can take years to happen.]
"It won't be that long."
[…]
"I saw her, and even that fake smile that she always keeps on her face, can't completely hide her pain. But if I'm wrong and, she doesn't succumb to the pain while I'm here. Unfortunately, I will have to give up Sophia, and Sophia would most likely lose her dear mother. "
Noah sighed as he looked at the girl lying on the bed, closed his eyes for a moment, and after he opened them he said as he started walking towards the bed "… Well, let's get it over with, before that old bastard shows up here again."
He was already very close to the bed, and obviously the pain he was feeling was much greater than before "... This pain drug is really a nuisance." however, even with that, Noah kept walking slowly, until he finally reached the side of the bed. And after I got there, he abruptly dropped to his knees on the floor, and right after that he spit blood on his hand.
"How wonderful ..." said Noah, as he wiped the blood from his mouth.
