Chapter 106: Ring
******************************************************
Amina saw her daughter in such a state, but she heard of something similar like this happening to other young elven females, but she was not interested to know the reason for such activity at that time and gradually forgot about this topic with time.
"Demi, you were never like this. Calm down and tell me what is going on with you!? We will help, just calm down," Amina said nervously and hugged Demi tightly, but… it didn't help since Demi didn't stop weirdly giggling with tears.
"Little Demi, tell your mother, please… Luis, do something!!" Amina again tried to calm her, but still failed and began to panic.
Suddenly, a crying Demi fainted.
"… Dear? Demi!? Luis… what the hell is going on with our daughter!? I don't know what to do…"
Luis was also clueless about her situation, but then they heard a familiar voice nearby.
"You might not know, but elven girls rarely fall in love at an early age. But when that happens, that affection towards the desired person will never change, moreover, it becomes even stronger and stronger right to the point that if the desired person is not reciprocating her love, then… very often those girls simply commit suicide in a few days when they can't obtain what they wanted. This problem is quite rare, and there is no… cure for it. This is something only female elves have Either way, she will die by killing herself or…" Said sorrowfully, grandpa Austin, and turned to look at a person not far away.
"…or the man she desired will accept her feelings, there is no other way…" added grandpa Austin as he gazed at Vincent, who he guessed was that exact person.
Amina and Luis became even more scared of Austin's words, and then followed his gaze.
'We don't know him too well, but… The safety of our daughter is the first,' thought to themselves, Luis and Amina as they exchanged gazes before nodding.
"… Vincent Mayers, we… Can we shamelessly ask for your help…? P-please…" Amina barely managed to utter it, since she was going to ask an unknown human man with a harem and who has no morals to accept her own precious daughter as his woman to save her.
She can't believe it…
Vincent didn't hear their conversation, nor did he hear Demi, since he was speaking with Nicholas.
He turned to look at Amina with narrowed eyes.
"It depends on what you want and what you are willing to give for it. I'm not a saint to do stuff for free," answered Vincent calmly as he looked at Amina, who began to tremble slightly.
'To save our daughter, we are willing to give her to you, you fucker!… But… you… want an additional reward!?' Amina became enraged by his words.
"Here," Grandpa Austin took something from inside his robe and threw it to Vincent.
Vincent catches it and sees that it's some sort of medallion or token of golden color with rich engravings.
"This is our Lerin clan's golden token that only high elders gave and can give many privileges, so if one day you will arrive in our clan, show it to anybody, they will treat you as if you were almost a high elder himself," explained grandpa Austin to Vincent in a calm tone.
Vincent heard his words and nodded.
"Useful thing. I will definitely pay a visit to your clan in the near future. Moreover, I want to ask if your clan has something like specially crafted rings that could contain non-animated objects inside…" Suddenly asked Vincent. He often heard about it from various novels on Earth, so was curious if here they have something like that, so he could give them to his wives.
Austin narrowed his eyes and then looked at his finger.
"You mean this ring? Such a ring is a symbol of high authority, mostly in the big clans and outside it. It was created by the technology developed by one of our ancestors from the distant past. It says that he managed to gather 100% of WE (world essence) in every part of his flesh, bones, and blood and began to create a WE body, so he moved to live in an underground world that is rich with WE the deeper you go. Once in a few decades, he visited us to see how we are living. He noticed that if you combine every six elements (Wind, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, and Darkness) of the same rank into one, you can create space magic," said Austin and raised his hand to show his ring on his right hand.
"As you can see, this ring has 5 elemental stones placed in a star-live formation, with the sixth stone in the center of it. This is a low-quality ring since elemental stones here are only at 2nd rank each. I never saw the high-quality ring though, since to create such, it will require at least 7th ranked elemental stones that I never even saw in my entire life. I guess, only ancestor-level characters could create those for themselves. But still, this ring has a space of 20 cubic meters which is more than enough for my needs," answered Austin as he surveyed his luxurious ring.
"Perfect, where can I get such a ring? Even with 1st ranked stones will be enough for us, for now," Vincent didn't need such a ring since he has the pocket world that was gifted to him by 11th ranked member of the chaos race, "Zarack".
The higher his rank in the elemental system is, the bigger the poker world becomes. But as a cover for his pocket world, even a low-quality ring is enough for him.
Still, he needs to be cautious in transporting people in and out of the PW (pocket world) since rings can't contain living beings inside.
If this somehow will be noticed by another transmigrator that "Zarack" previously sent here and who was still alive, he might be in big trouble.
These rings will be mostly for his wives, concubines, and as a reward for his people.
"First, take care of my granddaughter since I could guess that the person she desires is you, and if you don't accept her feelings, she will kill herself in a few days. So, the only person who can help her is you. Please take good care of her and treat her well, she is a good child," said grandpa Austin and glanced at the side where fainted Demi was, who currently was in her father's arms.
Vincent also looked at Demi for a few seconds before turning to his wives.
"What will you say?"
