Chapter 672 Departure Nears
Chapter 672 Departure Nears
Later that day, Vicente and his group would enter the estate given to them by King Seidel.
When they arrived at the house, his men had already brought all of the Fuller family’s luggage from the train.
Vicente took Nina to her room and helped her to wake up.
She felt a little disoriented when she woke up because she had passed out and then woke up in a different place.
But she hadn’t heard Vicente’s comments or of the men who had tried to talk to her earlier. Nina could only understand someone’s words when they used sign language or when she watched people’s lips.
Since she was too busy thinking about her pentagram and Magic Gem, she had only noticed that a few people had approached her before she collapsed under Vicente’s pressure.
When she met her brother, she wasn’t worried and couldn’t help but smile.
Vicente sighed and said to her. “Nina, you have awakened an extreme power and are incredibly talented. If you casually expose your Magic Gem, people will try to kill you daily.
If you don’t want to live on the run, you must hide your gem even when you’re resting. From now on, you can’t risk anyone seeing your Magic Gem.”
“That…” She was surprised, but as she looked into a mirror in the luxurious room her brother had brought her, Nina understood why he had said it and couldn’t stop herself from opening her mouth in shock.
She hadn’t expected to be so talented!
According to Torne, it was a combination of everything she had consumed over the last 10 years and the influence of the Cataclysm Moon Pendant. This artifact was something that she had not only used in her Awakening but also stayed close to while Vicente used it.
When Nina finally saw the color of her gem, she understood why. A cyan gem was synonymous with 6th-stage power. As long as there weren’t any accidents that could kill her prematurely, she would reach the 6th stage sooner or later without too much trouble!
If she had access to resources similar to those Vicente had on his journey and pentagrams just as good, she could become a Sky Sovereign like him in a decade!
But that was such a high talent that people would surely try to kill her to stop her progress.
Vicente gave her a cloth mask that would only cover her forehead and said. “This mask will have a different shape and color than your gem. You must wear it at all times. I don’t want you to take it off even when you are at home or with someone you think you can trust.”
Then, a metal mask with several precious stones formed in one of Vicente’s hands. “The cloth mask is reliable, but I don’t want you to rely on it alone. When you’re out and about, always wear the metal mask over the cloth one.
From now on, all your guards will wear masks and clothes similar to yours to camouflage you.”
“That… Won’t that get me in trouble at college?” She asked doubtfully, thinking about how some people might pick on her for this.
“I’ll talk to the college officials. No teacher will stand in your way.” He smiled at her and massaged one of her sister’s cheeks. “Anyway, you must obey me and do it without error. While I’m not around, this will be your most vulnerable time.
You won’t have to hide so much in the future, but right now, you’re too weak to risk it.
You’ll have to hide unless you can protect yourself from an entire kingdom.”
“All right, big brother.” She said, clenching her fists.
“You should practice your skills a bit first. Control your newly acquired powers so you don’t accidentally hurt anyone.” He told her as he got up from the bed he was sitting on.
She quickly followed him before heading to the manor’s training room.
Vicente and the rest of the family would be there to watch her while she started training, with Newton advising her on how to begin.
Rory, Casey, Nova, Eve, Sarah, and Onyx would watch her alongside Vicente, imagining how strong she could be in the future.
“Unfortunately, Nina awakened her powers at the beginning of a disaster… If it had been any other time, she could have grown up quietly before taking her chances with monsters.” Eve commented as she sighed.
“The Seven Day Tsunami will happen in the next few weeks. The Purification should take place in the middle of it.” Onyx commented to the group, pointing out that the disaster was near.
Rory looked at Vicente and said. “It’s a shame for Nina, but she’ll grow up trapped in a city until she’s strong. However, if we want to be there for her when the worst happens to the kingdom, we’ll have to leave as soon as possible for our hunt.”
“I know.” Vicente sighed. “We’ll stay in Grandis for about ten days to organize everything here, to get the family settled before we leave. Then we’ll head north.”
Sarah clenched her fists in anticipation, eager to hunt down her pentagram and grow stronger with her fourth essence.
Vicente looked at Nova and said. “Try to arrange a meeting with the royal family for tomorrow. I want to gather the information my group needs for the journey we’re about to embark on.”
She nodded at him before leaving with Eve, who also had meetings to arrange for Vicente.
Before he left, he wanted to make sure that the family would continue to grow and that Nina would be protected in his absence. So, the group would be moving around a lot over the next few days!
Benson, who had also come to the capital with the group, also left. He was there to help with the expansion of the family railroad through Diamond Province.
The only one who hadn’t come was Prisiche, whom Vicente had told to stay in Scott Province for the next few months to take care of the family’s business there. She was not supposed to come to the capital to serve Nina until she had finished hunting all the monster groups in the area.
As he watched Nina train under Newton’s guidance, Vicente couldn’t help but think of Lauren. ‘I’ll come to you soon!’ He smiled, already planning what to do after his pentagram hunt.
