Simon gently placed Lenus' unconscious body on the bed and pulled the sheets over him. Then he let out a sigh and looked into the teenage boy's eyes. He could not believe what happened a few moments ago. While he expected to face the rioter of the city, he only encountered a familiar adventurer, but this adventurer pressed him so much that he didn't even dare to breathe.
For Simon, it was a shock to see Lenus in such stature and awe. Also, he doesn't remember being so helpless in protecting himself. He had gone through a lot of difficult and exhausting moments to reach the rank of Silvery, and now that he was on the threshold of being in the rank of Igneous, he realized how insignificant he was against this ancient power.
Simon had just realized what was going through Aisa's mind. Remembering the events of a month ago, especially that mysterious and sad night, he remembered a hypothesis that no one even thought would happen. At that time, everyone, including Simon himself, laughed at Edlin, the famous wizard of the Gargil region, but now he understood the meaning of what he said.
This boy lying on the bed was no longer Lenus, an ordinary wizard boy with extraordinary talent; Certainly, from now on, his life was not normal and others looked at him with a different view than before. Even now, when he hadn't woken up properly, the views on him had changed, let alone when he woke up and communicated with others.
Simon took his gaze from the unconscious Lenus and walked softly to the window and looked at the scene outside. He muttered under his breath along with his noticeable inhale and exhale: The death of three people for an ancient magical power? Even hurting one of them is too much...
While he was thinking, he heard the door of the room. Simon turned and saw Aisa's silent face and asked, "Was it true?"
Aisa closed the door and leaned behind the door. He hesitated for a moment to make sure that no phone was monitoring their conversation and then he started to speak.
"Full body restoration, resistance to high-level healing potions, intense red light emitted from the eyes, and sudden headache..."
"So is it really true?" asked Simon, thinking that Aisa's sentence was finished.
Ignoring Simon's question, Aisa continued with a short pause: "And of course... complete oblivion."
Upon hearing this, Simon's eyes widened. The veins in his hand were swollen and he was shivering a little. Aisa moved away from the door and looked at Lenus next to Simon with an unmotivated face and with faint hope. Then he put a hand on Simon's shoulder and said: "Let's hope." Like you, I really want Lenus to wake up, even with his memory, but this sign is more certain than the rest."
Simon, whose face showed that he still didn't want to accept the truth, fisted his hand and tried to keep his voice down as he spoke with a power hidden deep in his gaze.
"Hopefully?! I had no day and night for a month. Everywhere I go, everything I look at, every moment I spend, I remember that damned night and that ruined hall; The memory of that terrible sight, the memory of those bodies that were mercilessly dismembered, the memory of their blood, whose warmth I still feel on my hands. Can you believe that I can still see Kevin's innocent and serious look in front of my eyes? When he was laughing and thanking me for the sword I gave him... that scene will never be erased from my mind..."
Then he gritted his teeth, now he could no longer hide the flame of anger and revenge in his eyes.
"I have to find the cause of what happened that night! No matter what happens to me, I'm ready to take a stab at Plaison Valley and beyond and... I swear I'll kill so many orcs that with their blood, Plaison Valley will become the Red Sea of Plaison!"
Now Simon was panting and with every inhale and exhale, he drew the fire of anger and resentment. Aisa, who was calm until now and didn't want to stop the swordsman, looked at Simon and invited him to calm down. When Simon calmed down, Aisa looked at Lenus again, and unlike her previous expression, she had a burning but dormant anger like Simon.
"It's not just you. If you lost your student, I lost my sister; A sister who had a lot of hopes and dreams, a sister who saw me as her role model, a sister who I couldn't be a sister to properly..."
Aisa's hands were shaking; Just like his shaky tone. Sadness and sadness were mixed with anger and resentment in him. He didn't want to cry, he didn't want a tear to fall from his eyes. Instead, from the depths of his being, he wanted the blood of his sister's killer's liver to drip drop by drop from his grip.
However, his temper abated a bit and he said, "But I'm not sure that the orcs are the cause of that tragedy. Selena and the others in the castle enclosure defeated more than fifty orcs, how could they lose against twenty orcs?"
Simon sighed and said, "But in that hall there was also the corpse of a bigger orc." It was clear that he was the leader."
Aisa answered without stopping: "But they can still resist until you arrive." It may be difficult to kill the leader of the orcs, but death is far from the mind. You just remembered that he was dead before you got there, didn't you?
"Right... and I'm surprised he died in front of the platform where Lenus was lying."
Both Simon and Aisa remained silent for a while and did not say anything. The eyes of both of them were on Lenus and their eyelids did not make a small movement.
Aisa broke this short-lived silence and said: "However, our main problem is Lenouse. According to the book, Lenus may wake up in a few minutes to a few hours. First, we have to see if his memory is intact or not, then we should think about the condition of this cursed ancient gift."
"I can't be without my sword for too long," Simon turned and headed for the door. When her hand reached the handle of the wooden door, Aisa said, "I told someone to go to-" But when the door opened and Simon made eye contact with her, there was no need to continue.
Simon stood and opened the door slowly. He clearly did not expect to face the person in front of him so soon. The man standing on the other side of the door took Simon's sword which was in its scabbard towards him and said, "I don't remember you ever taking your sword off you, Simon the Rhino!"
