Chapter 497: - A Lot of Interesting Stories
"Let's talk about a lot of things, Elaine."
Broken said, remembering the advice Lily had given him many times. She had always told him that getting to know someone was key to building a strong bond. This was new for Broken- he had never really tried to make friends or connect deeply with others. But this time, he decided to give it a try with Elaine.
"A lot of things? What would you like to know about, Mr. Broken? About this land? Or perhaps more about Faeries?"
"Actually... I'm curious about you," Broken replied. "What's your ability? How strong are you in battle?"
Elaine blinked, a little surprised. But she nodded and responded, "My strength lies in magic, particularly in elemental manipulation and spirit connection. However, due to the curse, my power is often unstable. In combat, I can defend myself, but... the more the curse manifests, the more dangerous I become not just to enemies, but to those around me."
Intrigued, Broken decided to inspect her stats.
[Name: Elaine]
[Level: 239]
[Strength: 390 | Agility: 423 | Intelligence: 1450 | Constitution: 298 | Stamina: 867]
"Damn!" Broken muttered under his breath. He was genuinely surprised by Elaine's stats. Her level might only be 239, but her stats were far beyond what he had expected.
It made sense-she had lived for centuries and was the protector of her tribe. But the thought of having to defeat her in her Eternal Flame form... How am I supposed to do that?
"You're probably the strongest in this tribe, right?"
"Uhm..." Elaine hesitated. "I'm not sure how strong I am... But, yes, I guess you could say I'm the strongest Faery here."
Broken nodded. "I believe it. Based on your level and stats, you're definitely the strongest here."
Elaine's eyes widened in surprise. "You can see someone's level and stats?"
Broken chuckled, "Yeah, I can inspect people and get an idea of their abilities."
She smiled, nodding thoughtfully. "Well, I suppose now you understand why the curse makes things so dangerous... My strength can be a curse in itself."
[Elaine felt a deeper connection with you after your in-depth conversation, where you both got to know each other better. Your affinity with her has grown to 71%.]
Elaine giggled softly. "Are you still sure about fighting me in my Eternal Flame form, Mr. Broken?"
Broken took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Well, do you have any advice? Like, can you tell me your weaknesses or how to defeat you easily?"
Elaine shook her head. "I never remember anything when I'm in that state. I'm locked away... I simply endure until I revert back to my normal form."
"How long do you stay in that form?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"At first, it could last a whole day," she explained. "But recently, only for a few minutes before it fades."
"So, I'll need to defeat you within that short window. Otherwise, I'll have to wait until next month—or maybe I'll never get another chance. But no worries, I can respawn, and I'll just keep trying to beat you until I succeed." His tone was flat, almost casual.
"Elaine, did you know that our affinity has to reach at least 80% for us to form a bond?"
Elaine looked slightly puzzled. "Uhm... I didn't know that exactly. But I can assure you, Mr. Broken, that I'm doing my best to trust you completely and sincerely. And I've enjoyed spending time with you... You're warm and kind."
Broken smiled. "Thank you. Maybe we can continue getting to know each other better on a different note-how about you accompany me on a monster hunt and show me more of this
place?"
Elaine's eyes brightened, and she nodded confidently. "I'd be glad to."
After Broken and Elaine returned to her room, he carefully pushed the door open and stepped
outside.
The Knights standing nearby shot him disapproving looks, though he wasn't quite sure what he'd done to warrant their judgment.
As he moved further away, his eyes fell on Ivana, who was laughing and chatting with a group of faeries. She seemed to be in her element, enjoying their company, and the faeries appeared just as fond of her. Broken couldn't help but think how effortlessly Ivana connected with
others.
Ivana must have noticed his return because she quickly said her goodbyes to the faeries and hurried over to him, her face lighting up with a cheerful smile.
Ivana stopped in front of Broken, tilting her head playfully. "Do you have an interesting story
for me?"
Broken smiled. "Yes, Ivana, I do. Let's go somewhere we can talk. I want to discuss a lot of
things with you."
"Let's go," Ivana replied, gently taking his left arm and linking it with hers as they walked
away from the village together.
