Chapter 275: Chapter 274: A Promise Finally Fulfilled Chapter 275: Chapter 274: A Promise Finally Fulfilled Regarding the situation in Fanriel, Fang Zheng wasn’t concerned; he thought it was best to have as few troublesome matters as possible, and it wasn’t that he was actually afraid of the other party. If those idiots from Fanriel dared to cause trouble again, he would just break the seal, fight them, and then beat a hasty retreat. After all, this was the Kingdom of the Holy Church, and even Fanriel couldn’t afford to cause too much trouble on the Church’s turf.
As for Fang Zheng having to hastily move just after he returned, Kuliya and Miss Nanali were somewhat surprised, though Miss Nanali obviously had longed to open a villa on the seaside island, so of course, she wouldn’t refuse. Although Kuliya felt that Fang Zheng’s idea was a bit too sudden, since Miss Nanali herself didn’t object, she naturally didn’t have much to say either.
After making the decision, Fang Zheng asked Kuliya to arrange rooms for Tilia and Black Katie, while he took Nymph to the small courtyard behind the Alchemy Atelier.
“Is there something you need, Master?”
Nymph followed Fang Zheng as obediently as ever, her large azure eyes quietly watching him. Seeing his little angel by his side, Fang Zheng also cracked a small smile.
“You’ve worked hard during this period… Nothing went wrong, right?”
“No, Master, everything is normal, oh, right!”
At this point, it seemed Nymph remembered something, she gently clapped her hands and looked at Fang Zheng with joy.
“I can now create Advanced Alchemy items. According to Miss Nanali, I am already an Advanced Alchemist.”
Hearing this, Fang Zheng was momentarily stunned, then he looked at her carefully and noticed a faint magical light emanating from Nymph. Although the light appeared very faint, Fang Zheng, who had already reached the level of Six-Ring Spells, could feel the strong power contained within it—of course, unlike mages, the magic equipment Nymph could create was probably all bought with money.
However, Fang Zheng didn’t care about that; after all, money was just a number to him, and it couldn’t be used to recharge the system. Therefore, it was more sensible to invest in enhancing his little angel’s strength.
“Well done, very good.”
After carefully inspecting the little angel, Fang Zheng was very pleased and nodded his approval. Hearing his praise, Nymph immediately showed a delighted smile. She had always been worried about not being powerful enough to help her master, but now she finally possessed sufficient strength. Although she might still be inadequate in facing Legendary Powerhouses, dealing with those below such enemies was no longer a problem for Nymph.
“Since you have done so much, of course I ought to reward you… no, it should be said that I am fulfilling a promise instead, the promise I made to you, I’m going to make it happen now.”
Hearing Fang Zheng speak, Nymph tilted her head slightly in confusion and looked at him. She didn’t remember Fang Zheng ever making her a promise, but he didn’t answer her and instead reached out his hand, gently stroking the little angel’s head, and then winked at her.
“Stretch out your hand.”
Though a bit puzzled, the little angel obediently stretched out her right hand, and Fang Zheng, smiling, raised his right hand and shook it lightly. The next moment, a green crystal prism appeared in Fang Zheng’s hand.
This was the Free Method Fang Zheng had obtained from Lamy, or rather, from Spiral Organ, which could restore lost things. This was also the main reason he had been able to invite Spiral Organ to join the Masquerade Ball planning project. Spiral Organ had created a Free Method that could restore lost things, and the biggest drawback of this method was the need for a substantial amount of the Power of Existence. Because it couldn’t absorb the Power of Existence like other Followers of the Crimson Realm, it had concealed itself in the shell of a torch as the Corpse Collector, Lamy, and was gathering the residual Power of Existence from the torch bit by bit.
The condition for the deal with Fang Zheng was that after creating a new world, Fang Zheng would share a portion of the Power of Existence left by the Followers of the Crimson Realm with him in order for Lamy to retrieve what he had lost. In exchange, Lamy had agreed to assist Fang Zheng in the creation of the world and also provide him with a set of the Free Method he had developed.
The reason why Fang Zheng needed the Free Method created by Lamy was to help Nymph. The Dimensional Codex didn’t have an option for repair, so Fang Zheng had no choice but to find a way to repair the chains of Nymph himself. He believed that the Free Method should be able to solve the problem.
After all, in the World of Shana, he had used this Free Method to restore humans who had been completely devoured. It wouldn’t make sense for it to be stumped by a mere chain.
With this thought, Fang Zheng took a deep breath, then aimed the crystal at Nymph’s collar. Soon, bands of light from the Free Method began to emerge from the crystal and swiftly flew towards Nymph. They connected to the broken chain on Little Angel’s collar, and quickly, in the eyes of both, the chain that had been severed and left hanging was restored. Bands of light wrapped around the chain, and in a moment, the broken chain was repaired and wrapped itself around Fang Zheng’s right hand once again.
Feeling the cold and familiar touch of the chain in his hand, and that feeling of connection with Nymph, Fang Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had not directly told Little Angel earlier because even he was not fully confident that the Free Method could restore her chain. He did not want to disappoint Little Angel, so he had been evasive. But now that it was successful, it was naturally a surprise for Little Angel.
Seeing the restored chain, Nymph showed a surprised expression. She widened her eyes, feeling the regained connection, and couldn’t help rushing forward, throwing herself into Fang Zheng’s arms.
“It’s nothing. I’ve always said I would find a way.”
Looking at Little Angel who threw herself into his arms, the corners of Fang Zheng’s mouth lifted slightly. This was his first summoned creature in the Main World, who had followed him until now, and their relationship was far deeper than with anyone else. For Fang Zheng, the severing of Nymph’s chain was an unforgettable regret, and now, that regret had finally been mended.
“Elder Brother really does have the best relationship with Sister.”
Watching this scene, Tilia, who was sneaking around in a corner, sighed helplessly. Hearing her speak, Black Katie curiously tilted her head.
“Of course, she was the first one to appear by Elder Brother’s side. Naturally, she is our sister.”
While Soul Summoning Stones do have mutual sensing, there isn’t a specific status distinction. However, Tilia wouldn’t be foolish enough to think that just because she was close to Fang Zheng, she could dismiss everyone else. Tilia was devoted, and for her, Fang Zheng was everything. Although Tilia might have minor frictions with people like the Fire Mist Warriors or Black Katie, she would never burden Fang Zheng with these issues. At this moment, seeing the relationship between Nymph and Fang Zheng, the little girl’s mind spun, and she suddenly had an idea.
Hmm… Maybe this isn’t a bad idea… I see that Sister Nymph also has a fondness for Elder Brother… If it can be so…
Seeing Tilia’s mischievous smile, Black Katie tilted her head in confusion, completely unaware of what the other was thinking.
But one thing Black Katie could be sure of was that whatever Tilia was thinking, it definitely wasn’t something good.
