Death, Devotion, Dissonance Chapter 115

'Since he can't become Helm, I need to focus on obtaining more benefits for Evin…' Leanne decided.
"In that case, I want to discuss the rewards that Evin were due after defeating the Type 12. He was supposed to meet the Type 13 after that to receive its guidance on whatever problem he needs help on."
Meeting the remnant consciousness of Heim Morton was nothing to scoff at. The man was infamous for his breadth of knowledge and incredible way of solving problems. It was even said that king Seth himself occasionally visited it to receive advice.
"Ah, about that… You don't have to worry too much. The kingdom is extremely interested in Evin's future prospects. Even I'm wanting to learn how he's able to shoot metal and stone projectiles with such strong and penetrative force yet so little mana. He definitely needs to be rewarded for his efforts and the kingdom agreed to have Lord Armut Mungiar give a visit to the boy. And of course, Evin would still be able to receive help from the kingdom, if he has anything he wishes to learn about…"
"I've also heard that some High Mages are showing interest in tutoring him privately?" Kent asked.
The rewards were much greater than what Leanne expected. It wasn't a simple matter to have one's lost limbs replaced by a prosthetic in the kingdom. It was especially hard to have one created by the Master Prosthetist himself. Most of it depended on luck, as Lord Mungiar mostly chose his own clients, and most of them exclusively from military background. Nobles and foreigners had to pay tens of thousands of gold to convince the man to do anything for them.
Not only that, to learn under the wings of a High Mage was also something unimaginable to 1st year Academy students. Even normal mages struggled to obtain such privileges. Leanne guessed that the only reason Evin was receiving such attention was because of his highly unique spells. She wouldn't be surprised if some of these High Mages wanted to learn some things from Evin in return.

"Yes, but of course, the kingdom would still require Evin to graduate from the Academy properly. I'm hoping Chairman Kent will do his best to educate the future of the kingdom."
"Yes, of course."
'Of course, Kent won't so easily let go of the key part in his ridiculous plan,' Leanne sighed. 'Well, Evin knows his true colors and he's smart enough to take care of himself, so I don't have to worry about Kent too much.'
"Now that we've settled the problem of Helm and Evin, the main topic of our talk concludes here," Gehenne said and had the group disperse.

Adagio of the Enlightened
The Elders will tell you the stories and lore. Of our ancestors, their deeds, and of the foes of yore. They will praise to you the chariot, and how it flew to the stars. How it stole the sun's light and slew the night’s roar.The Shamans will tell you the tales of their wisdom. Their wars on schism, and the unlettered world of ours before. Perhaps they will sing you the songs of what our clans' ancient customs tore. Poems of how our ancestors took what the discs had offered them, the manna and the mundane, and made it more.The kings will tell you of the follies, the sins, and the anecdotes of all our ancestors' wrongs. They will curse to you their names, the Ender of Fate and the Ruined Song. How they had dug up the hearts of the discs, euchred its relics, and blasphemed its prophecies, with oracles withdrawn.But they will only tell you the legends, recount the myths, and sing the allegories washed ashore.The Elders, the Shamans, and the kings can only retell what the storytellers of their own time had voiced. What they have read in books or heard in the minstrels' songs they adore.They don't know what really happened. They were never there.They can't tell you how our ancestors slew the angels from the sky, and sent them back to where they belonged. How they poisoned our minds, and made our people slothful and feeble, with the reforms they had undergone.But I can.I can tell you how the Ender of Fate severed destiny's strings, weakened them, and weaved them to our feeble flesh and souls.I can tell you how the Ruined song razed the heavens with her blood-stained melody, and reshaped our hell into utopia, with the deaths she deplored.Because I was there. I can tell you the truth, with my virtue strong. ----> Disclaimer: This will be a slow-burn, character-driven, non-harem, slice-of-life web novel with cultivation and kingdom-building elements.
