Finally discharged
No more sitting by my bed all day. The staff here is much stricter than Dr. Natasha and her colleague, so whenever I walk or look around, I am inevitably escorted back to my room. It doesn't help that I'm a guest of Princess Siti, which makes them even more cautious. They're nice, and it does feel good to lie down and do nothing once in a while, but they absolutely won't let me do anything! It's boring! At least let me go for a walk!
After thanking them and saying goodbye, Dana, Fie and I went to the castle. A carriage was waiting for us, so we got in and went straight to the castle. I asked Dana what had happened between the time I fainted and now. Several questions were asked and Dana patiently answered each of them
"The mimic? It absorbed all the devil dungeon boss. It is now in stasis. However, it can be opened and they'll get a great treasure with the Petrification and Poison attribute, though the chances of them getting petrified and poisoned are too high unless they're just like us who come from the Aru village. The mimic, it's yours to begin with, but it couldn't come out of the final boss room, so Siti wanted to discuss with you how to handle it" [Dana].
"Can't be moved. There goes my chance to bring it back to my dungeon. I'm sure it would be great if I could. Should I just give it to her?" [Diana]
"That's up to you, but remember to negotiate. I'm sure Siti won't mind, and she'll even reward you handsomely, but don't let the other one trample on your kindness. Just like in Amleth, I'm sure the Ministry would take advantage of it" [Dana].
"Got it!" [Diana]
That's with the mimic. I wanted to visit it before making my decision. If I can't bring it out, I'm sure giving it to Princess Siti would be the best choice. She's nice and dependable, so I wouldn't mind one bit. It does sting just a tiny little bit but it is what it is
Second question is
"Tuah and his comrades? About that..." [Dana]
"Are they dead?" [Diana]
"No. Just that there was an argument" [Dana]
"Huh?" [Diana]
"Apparently, the current knights and soldiers don't want to work with them. They've been awakened by the goddess' grace, yes, but somehow they're not convinced at all. They accused Master Merlin and her three apprentices of using necromancy to raise them" [Dana].
"Well, I'm sure Master Merlin can, but she wouldn't do that" [Diana].
"Seriously..." [Dana]
"What about Captain Rentap? Surely he will understand" [Diana]
"He did. In fact, both Tuah and Rentap welcome each other for the sake of this nation, but things don't look good down there in the line" [Dana].
I see. That's... Not understandable. I mean, Tuah is a good guy! Even his comrades who have been resurrected in the form of soldier golems are nice! They gave everything back then just to repel the devil invasion, and now they're awakened by the goddess to do it all over again just because they wanted to. They're nice, but I feel sad that they're being treated this way.
At the moment, they're being examined by the dwarves as well as the researcher here to further improve them, unfortunately, not only the soldiers and knights know about it, but also the common people, and they're equally divided as well. They don't want this to get out of hand, so they postpone the upgrade of the soldier golem. A shame. A real shame. They're better than regular soldier golems, so it's a waste if they don't get upgraded.
"The Dungeon? The dungeon we just defeated will soon be open to everyone. Other dungeons that were previously affected are now functioning as normal. Apparently, the devilish dungeon boss disrupted the mana flow and redirected it to himself. Unfortunately, its greediness makes it difficult to control its power, which is why I am able to defeat it despite its massive mana pool" [Dana].
"So with that, the reason we are here is done. Almost done. Can I go to a dungeon just to get a pure light mana core?" [Diana]
"Sure. Let me guess, it's a secret why you need it." [Dana]
"Actually, I can tell you. It's a secret, but among our household, you're the only one left out" [Diana].
I tell Dana about Miss Ophelia Vars. I also tell her that we are about to lift the curse and that we need several equipment and things to make it a success.
"I see. No wonder even the two Special Knights are here. That makes sense. They're also trying to find one. For themselves. All right, I'll help you as well" [Dana].
"This is great! Thank you Dana" [Diana]
"Meow" [Fie]
"Oh, we have arrived" [Diana]
