Chapter 806 The Sage and the Advisor
"The guild has passed a resolution to vigorously promote the popularization of resurrection magic in Orario, as well as the research on portable resurrection magic devices."
In a moment, someone from the guild will come over to discuss cooperation matters regarding resurrection magic with you.
At that time, the guild will provide the massive mana required to use resurrection magic, and all you need to do is provide a resurrection magic caster with the [Luck] development ability.
Miss Fool went back to the guild and brought back this news.
The advent of resurrection magic greatly increases the survival rate of adventurers.
The guild's core objective is to utilize adventurers to completely conquer dungeons.
Therefore, in less than a week, the guild proposed a support bill for the newly emerging resurrection industry.
The goal is to prepare for the exorbitant costs required for resurrection, just like when the Panacea was first developed and its price was sky-high. By controlling the price of the Panacea's raw materials, the selling price of the Panacea can be controlled, thereby increasing the survival rate of adventurers exploring dungeons.
Of course, the Hestia Familia's resurrection service is not expensive, but there is room for price reduction. The guild plans to cooperate deeply with the Hestia Familia in resurrection magic to provide cheaper magic stones, mana recovery potions, and remnant repair materials, thereby reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
Besides cost reduction and efficiency improvement, the guild is also very interested in the portable resurrection magic device that Fels is researching.
After all, advanced adventurers only encounter life-threatening dangers when venturing deep into dungeons and labyrinths, and when they do venture into the depths and face life-threatening situations, it's impossible for them to always have a healer with resurrection magic by their side, right?
Therefore, Fels' research was also a new project that the guild viewed favorably and considered to have potential.
"President Royman has already sent a message to the school district. Soon, when the school district's giant ship arrives at the port of Melon, the guild should recruit the corresponding research talents in the school district to form a team specializing in the research of resurrection magic devices."
"Is there no one here in Orario?"
"Yes, but these talents are mostly in the top-tier magic stone workshops in Orario. It would be difficult to poach them from those workshops, and gathering them would definitely require a significant investment. Furthermore, Guild Master Royman is very protective of his authority."
The resurrection magic device will be Orario's cutting-edge magic stone technology in the future. Guild Master Royman chose the latter, as he wanted to consolidate the guild's influence in Orario and firmly grasp the decision-making power over the city's operations.
Therefore, even if it takes longer for the school district to arrive in Orario before recruiting people and forming a research team, thus slowing down the research progress on the resurrection magic device, it is still acceptable.
"As someone trusted by Lord Uranus, I have been entrusted by Chairman Royman with the responsibility of leading the future research team. Therefore, Broly, I need your help."
"Um, Miss Fells, how can I help you?"
"Considering that I need to interact with normal researchers in the future, and that I need to change this appearance of an earth-born human that has remained unchanged for over eight hundred years, I need your help to resurrect me."
Fels's humanoid appearance is a product of her research into immortality. While it did indeed allow her to surpass the original lifespan limit of humans, this appearance also deprived her of the right to communicate normally with people.
Considering her future role as the head of the research team for the resurrection magic stone device, she decided to abandon her appearance as an earth-born human that she had maintained for over eight hundred years.
"Helping you revive is no problem, but after you're revived and restored to a normal physical body, Miss Fels, your life will likely revert to that of a normal human, right? You won't be able to live forever. Is that alright?"
Broly raised his question, and resurrection magic cannot bring back those who have died of old age. In other words, if Fels wanted to be resurrected, it would be equivalent to giving up her immortality that had lasted for eight hundred years. Without being resurrected, she might still be able to live indefinitely, but after being resurrected, she would have to face the lifespan limitations of a normal human being.
Her transformation into a humanoid form was a research accident. Currently, it is estimated that even the Fool herself cannot replicate this experience, just as she has not been able to create a second Philosopher's Stone since its destruction.
"It is the finite life that makes people deeply aware of the preciousness of time. Maintaining this state has made my sense of time increasingly indifferent. And this body also makes it difficult for me to enjoy things that normal people can enjoy, such as food."
Well, as the head of the research team, this was just a turning point that made me realize that deep down, I still wanted to become a normal person again.
The success of the resurrection magic also restored my lost confidence. I believe that I will be able to develop a new magic to prolong life after my resurrection and before I die of old age.
So please, let me come back to life!
With that answer, Fels then asked Broly to take care of things.
Given that things had come to this point and their relationship was quite good, Broly naturally didn't hesitate.
With a flick of his wrist, he shattered Fels' skull, causing the Foolish Lady to fall to the ground and die.
Then, aiming at the remains on the ground, he chanted a resurrection spell.
As the pillars of light from the Gates of Hell opened and closed, the pale skeletons on the ground transformed into complete bodies of flesh and blood.
A mature woman with long, straight black hair, exuding the aura of a researcher in a white lab coat, and with a somewhat aloof expression, appeared on the spot.
Fels, Miss Fool—oh no, she should be called Miss Sage now—fluttered her eyelashes twice and opened her eyes.
She opened her mouth but made no sound. After a while, she realized that she couldn't use magic to simulate vocal cords in her throat while she had a physical body.
"Cough, um—"
It's like adjusting a microphone or speaker.
"Broly, did you have to act so quickly?"
The mature, intellectual voice rang out, and the wise lady's first words were a complaint.
"Uh, didn't you want to be resurrected?"
Broly looked at her with a somewhat innocent expression.
"I know that to be resurrected, I have to be killed once, but couldn't you at least tell me before you did it? You really startled me~"
Fels touched her smooth forehead. Although she had no sense of pain when she was born, the feeling of her soul instantly falling into darkness was still quite unpleasant.
Watching someone be killed and resurrected, even though only a short time had passed, felt to Fels like he had been locked in a dark room for a period of time.
The time from falling into darkness to seeing the light again was longer than the normal time, probably about 35 minutes.
Fortunately, she was successfully resurrected.
Fels stood up, but stumbled and fell forward, only to be caught by the Saiyan boy in time.
"I'm sorry, the situation of having a physical body is quite different from the previous situation where I was all bones. I may need some time to get used to it."
Having been without flesh and blood for so long, Miss Sage was like someone who had been paralyzed for many years and had just regained the ability to walk; her control over her body was somewhat shaky.
"Do you need me to help you adapt to your current body more quickly?"
"Do you have a solution?"
"It's very simple. Just stimulate the acupoints all over your body and let the Qi circulate throughout your body."
"Then, I'll leave it to you."
Fels did not refuse and was helped to lie on the ground, allowing the Saiyan boy to do as he pleased.
"I have a feeling you're doing this on purpose, just to take advantage of my child."
The loli goddess stood with her arms crossed, watching the sage lady making strange panting sounds as her acupoints were stimulated, and raised an eyebrow as she spoke.
"It really wasn't intentional, but I do have the idea of taking advantage of you. Hmm, Lady Hestia, I wonder if you could let me join your familia?"
"Aren't you from Uranus?"
"I am, but my God's grace does not belong to Lord Uranus."
In fact, after losing my flesh and blood, I lost the ability to update my stats.
Lord Uranus merely recruited me to work for him; he did not make me a child of his kin.
"But haven't you regained your physical body now?"
"But Lord Uranus does not have the authority to arbitrarily expand the number of his clan members."
"Well----"
Hestia realized that she had almost forgotten that the reason the guild could act as a mediator and commander for the various clans was because Uranus had made some promises in exchange for them. One of these promises was that the number of clan members could not be expanded at will, and there were even certain restrictions and requirements on their levels. This meant that the clans were prohibited from having private armed forces.
Of course, recruiting members of other clans to serve as private soldiers is a borderline act.
"What about your past god?"
"I returned to the celestial realm long ago. Now that I have regained my physical body, if I want to upgrade my abilities, I need to find a new god and join their kin."
"Well, even so, you don't need to join my familia, do you?"
"I want to use Broly's wing skill."
When asked by Hestia, Fels bluntly said that the Saiyan boy's wing skills were very appealing. Since he was going to find a familiar to join anyway, why not choose one that would be most beneficial to him and that he understood best?
"Hey, hey, hey, Miss Sage, do you know what you're saying?"
Don't take advantage of your good personal relationship with my child to try and get something for nothing.
My Broly's wing skill is only given to his Encounter Partner and his external wife.
"You're not his date, why are you getting involved?"
"That's easy, I'll just become his external wife."
"?!" *2
Hestia and Broly both looked at her with some surprise.
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who just sits around doing nothing. Broly, if you ever have any physiological problems that you need help with, you can ask me for help."
As the wise lady spoke, she opened her mouth. During her time living in the Hearth House, she had witnessed Broly's encounters many times, leading her to mistakenly believe that the boy had such a fetish. She was quite direct in her statement.
Although she had never been in a relationship or had any experience with men and women during her lifetime, she felt that helping people solve problems was quite simple.
Paying this price for a powerful skill is incredibly worthwhile.
"Miss Fells, I can give you an external position, but I don't need to ask you for help unless you do."
Based on his personal relationship with Miss Sage, Broly is willing to give her a position outside the Crystal Palace, but whether or not to develop her into a real wife depends on Miss Fels' own wishes in the future; he will not force her.
As for his needs in terms of satisfying his physical needs, to be honest, Broly's needs in this regard are less than what his encounters with his love interest and his wives in the outer position provide, especially in the last two days, when Ryu and Ade always sneak into his room under the cover of night.
Last night, the two even ran into Chun Ji, and as a result, the three of them helped him. Actually, he didn't need help when he wasn't being provoked.
Of course, it's true that the three of them need help.
As more wives joined Crystal Palace, Broly's stamina began to grow faster than his other basic abilities. After all, he was constantly being asked to play PUBG with people, which provided him with ample training for his stamina.
The Sage joined the Crystal Palace, and on the same day, the guild sent a representative to tacitly hire her, who had joined the Hestia Familia, as an expert consultant on resurrection magic.
Clearly, this was done through communication; Fels had planned it in advance.
After the guild reached a cooperation agreement with the Hestia Familia regarding resurrection magic services, they directly announced the news to the public.
The main contents are twofold:
Article 1: Adventurers can enjoy different levels of resurrection discounts based on their level; the higher the adventurer's level, the greater the resurrection discount.
Article 2, Resurrection Protection is now available. Any adventurer who is registered and certified by a guild can purchase this insurance to ensure their personal safety.
The former is for high-level adventurers, while the latter is for low-level adventurers. Low-level adventurers have a very high probability of dying in the dungeon, but they are also likely to be brought out intact, they just don't have the money to pay the resurrection fee.
The guild is willing to provide certain resurrection benefits to low-level adventurers who have taken out insurance, giving those who are not familiar with the dungeon and die carelessly a chance to try again.
"I imagine that having experienced death once, those new adventurers will take their future adventures more seriously."
This is a suggestion strongly recommended by Broly's dungeon advisor, the half-elf Eina.
In order to pass this proposal, the half-elf lady personally came over during the discussion of the cooperation details and sincerely requested Broly's support.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to pass this proposal, which, although reasonable, would obviously cause huge losses to the guild, on her own.
"Thank you, Broly. If you hadn't brought up the concept of resurrection, Chairman Royman probably wouldn't have agreed."
Sure enough, after the guild announced the details of the collaboration, the half-elf lady came over specifically to express her gratitude.
"It's alright, it's just a small favor, and I only mentioned some things that suddenly came to mind."
Broly waved his hand dismissively.
"Miss Consultant, my son Broly has helped you so much. Are you really going to just thank him with empty words and call it a day?"
"Ah, Lord Hestia, what gift would Broly like in return?"
Eina also felt that simply saying a few words of thanks was insincere, so she quickly asked.
"I will definitely repay any kindness I can do to express my gratitude."
"So you're really that sincere? Then—"
Hestia looked the half-elf up and down, and suddenly asked.
"Miss Eina, do you have a boyfriend now?"
"Oh, nothing, what's wrong?"
"So, do you want a boyfriend—no, I mean, a husband?"
Eina, a clever half-elf, quickly realized who the Lolita goddess was referring to as her husband.
"My Broly has a special skill: the more wives he has, the more powerful he becomes. You're a good, responsible girl, so—"
Hestia was genuinely focused on developing her familia and managing her harem of young boys, with Broly at its core. The half-elf lady Eina, the dungeon advisor, took a liking to the kindness of the lower-class adventurers and believed that such a child deserved to be brought into the Hearth House family.
Eina: "What's wrong, Miss Eina? You don't want to?"
Or is it that these kinds of things are beyond your control and beyond your ability to make decisions?
Hestia pressed for details.
"Ah, I can make that decision myself, but would Mr. Broly be willing?"
The half-elf girl secretly sized up the Saiyan boy. When she first took charge of him, Broly was still like a little kid, but now he was almost as tall as her.
"I have no problem with that, as long as Miss Eina is willing."
"Okay, I'm willing."
With the thought of repaying the favor in mind, the half-elf girl reluctantly agreed.
This is actually related to the fact that she had a good impression of Broly and did not dislike the boy.
As Broly's dungeon advisor, Eina knows quite a lot.
For example, she inquired about Lily Luca's, Bell's, and even Haruhime's.
Contrary to the outside world's perception of Broly as a tyrannical tyrant, Eina had always had a good impression of the Saiyan boy and was not affected by public opinion.
However, when she told her friend Missia, who was also a guild member, about her new relationship and revealed the identity of her boyfriend, she was still teased.
"Oh, you actually like that kind of guy who juggles multiple relationships? Although I know he's capable and has a bright future, choosing him, Eina, isn't that a bit too impulsive?"
"No, you don't know Broly. A lot of the rumors about him are just hearsay, but I know the real him."
"Wait, so the rumors about him dating multiple women are actually false?"
"Uh, that's true."
Misia: "————"
There's definitely something wrong with my half-elf friend.
"So, do you prefer married men, or do you prefer group activities with more than two people?"
"No, I just think he's a nice person—"
To make her story more convincing, Eina revealed everything about the resurrection.
"So, you're doing this to repay him for supporting your proposal?"
"Well, partly, but not entirely—"
The half-elf lady, who had drunk a little wine, had a slightly tipsy face and mumbled somewhat embarrassedly.
