Villain's Valor: A Noble Fantasy Resurrection

59  Chapter 59: Chat

Being focused on my deep thoughts and reflections about Zone 8, I hear a faint moan.

"Hmm."

Looking, Elsa was wrapped from head to toe, sleeping soundly. I direct my gaze downward to see a few tired people after a hard day of work.

"Time passed very quickly. Just a moment ago, the street was full of people," as they say, if you get lost, it's something that grabs your attention; time flows fast. Conversely, if you do something boring, it passes very slowly.

Closing the windows and putting the chair in its place, I go to bed.

"It's time to rest," I think internally.

Getting comfortable, I wrap myself up well. The truth is, it's a bit cold. Closing my eyes.

****

The shining sun in all its glory enters through the window. The warmth quickly changes the cold atmosphere of the night, the light overtaking the darkness, starting another day in this world.

The sun was in the middle of the sky, indicating it's noon. My body completely relaxed, just like my mind. Finally, after a whole month, I could have a good sleep.

Stretching while still lying down, I shake off all the accumulated laziness in my body. Sitting up, I rub my eyes. Elsa still slept without any concern for the world around her, just like me; she needed this too.

Getting up, I head straight to the bathroom. After washing my face and teeth, all the remaining laziness disappears completely. Opening the window for fresh air to enter the room, I take a deep breath, nodding with satisfaction.

Looking at Elsa, who is still asleep, I furrow my brow. I remember my mother used to wake me up in the mornings for school with cold water on my face.

Smiling mischievously, I grab a small amount of water in my hands. Approaching her slowly, I drop the water directly on her face.

"Kyaa!" Quickly standing up with a jump, she looks in all directions on guard. Her gaze stops fixedly on me; on the other hand, I, with a big smile on my face, say:

"How is the beautiful sleeper?"

Her gaze changes from confusion to anger in milliseconds.

"YOU'LL SEE! NOW YOU'VE DONE IT."

Running like lightning, she reaches my position and starts hitting my chest. Needless to say, I don't feel any kind of pain.

Seeing that it didn't generate any kind of reaction, she frowns annoyed. She stops for a second and a small smile forms on her face.

Seeing that smile, I start to sweat cold. Although it seemed pleasant, it's quite the opposite.

I feel a sharp pain in my right arm. She pinched me! The ultimate technique of a woman if punches don't have an effect.

Looking at her hands, I see that her nails are a bit long and sharp; she even covered them with ice.

"Hey, you cheated. Magic is not fair," I say indignantly.

"Hmph, stop crying, little girl," she responds disdainfully.

"Hahaha, alright, it's enough. Now go brush your teeth."

Although her face is still wet, she takes out a brush from her identification and heads to the bathroom grumbling.

We order breakfast and eat without problems. I ordered scrambled eggs with some bread and cheese; Elsa ordered the same as me. The food in this inn is very good. Personally, I like it a lot.

After resting from the meal, we leave the room. As I said when we arrived in the city, I have to train Elsa in the way of the sword and check if she has talent or not.

I have a place in mind where we can train without problems. Asking the inn receptionist, she informed me that in the guild, there is such a facility.

Putting my hand on my face, I should have expected it. After all, it's the only place where most adventurers are.

The streets remained as lively as ever.

"Chicken skewers from Aviar for only 5 bronze coins."

"Get your delicious smoked fish for only 4 bronze coins."

"The items you are looking for are in this place. Come and visit us! There are wholesale discounts."

"Armor or any type of weapons for sale, at half price! Don't waste this offer!"

You could hear all kinds of things for sale on this street. Considering that this is the main street of the city and that it goes straight to the guild, it is very common for all kinds of markets to be set up.

"Do you want to know your luck? Do you want to know what the future holds for you? Then you are in the right place. For only 1 silver coin, you can know your answers."

My ear tingled a bit. I always liked that kind of show. On Earth, I liked visiting these stores: tarot card divination, palm reading, even by mirrors. It's a very interesting topic.

Looking in the direction of the elderly voice, I see a small house. Sitting in a chair, there was an old woman or man; I can't identify their face as it was covered. My curiosity takes over me. Although on Earth I enjoyed it simply for entertainment, perhaps here in this world where magic is real and all kinds of things on Earth seemed impossible, I'll give it a try, walking towards the house.

"Where are you going?" Elsa asks me confused.

Pointing with my finger, "I want them to guess my luck."

"Do you know it's all a scam, right?" She asks, pursing her lips.

Shrugging, "Maybe, but I still want to try."

"Ufff, my God, fine, let's go," Elsa says, frowning.

By the time I reach the house, the gentleman is no longer in the chair. On the other hand, the door was open.

"Enter, please, I've been waiting for you," his voice was a mixture of a man and a woman's voice.

Feeling no signs of hostility, I look at Elsa and nod my head.

Upon entering the door, darkness greeted us. There was no light.

Bang!

The door behind us closes with a bang. Immediately, an orb appears above a table, shining faintly. Behind it, the gentleman is seated.

"Please, sit," a woman's voice comes out of his mouth.

Excited, I sit down quickly. This is incredible. Besides the table and the orb, I can't see beyond the illumination that the orb causes. Undoubtedly, it's on another level, and it has a mysterious atmosphere that gives it the final touch.

"I would like to know my future," I make my request.

"The future is unpredictable and unknown. The future is always changing depending on our actions and decisions. The threads of destiny can be divided into multiple paths, marking an infinite number of possibilities. We decide our own future."

"Place your hand on the orb and apply a little mana," now a deep and masculine voice comes out.

Placing my right hand and giving a little mana, the atmosphere becomes darker. From his cloak, a pair of very aged hands emerge, bones visible on his skin. He places them on my hands; his hands are very cold.

"Your future is dark and somber, full of sacrifices, bathed in blood, battle after battle, death after death, despair and hope. The pursuit of the unknown can be your ruin."

Feeling mana entering my body, I check if it's harmful or not. As it's not hostile, I just close my eyes.

****

Applying mana, the place became somber. The whole place became dark, darkness everywhere. The gentleman quickly looks up.

"This is what you want," a deep voice comes out of his mouth, unlike before, the voice of an old man can be identified.

The same eyes with vertical pupils and halos surrounding them, eyes from another world, were looking attentively at the old man.

"We have no other choice. It's our last chance. 'They' have already awakened. It's the only option we have," another deep voice full of wisdom could be heard.

"We don't have much time either. We have already spent a lot of energy and life force on this. There is no turning back."

"Do you think they will manage to surpass Zone 8?" The old man asks.

"They must. If they fail, there is no escape. All that will remain is a mass extinction. They can't fail like us in the past. The same mistake cannot be repeated." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"This boy you chose does not belong to this plane of the universe," the old man said with a curious voice.

"He isn't. The previous owner of this body was not the most optimal. So, I had to make a risky and random move. Luckily, the soul now is much better than the previous one."

"I see. By the way, if you're in this place, it means she is too, right?"

"Yes."

"Well, well, at least there's something fun in all this," said the old man with a playful voice.

"Shut up!"

"Don't get angry anymore. By the way, that device, we have an agreement. You must remember it," he said with a serious face.

"Yes, once they reach the gold rank, it deactivates. Have you already chosen the soul?"

"Yes, it's the same age as the boy you chose."

"What's her name?"

With a smile, the old man replies, "Ezequiel."
