CHAPTER 23: A FLOWER THAT NEVER QUESTIONS

"Myro wait, you have to explain it to me. Why are you blaming me like that?", said Vine while chasing Myro.

Myro looked at Vine strangely and said "Are you this stupid?".

"How could I be stupid? You're the one who's weird. You should be the one who should be me", said Vine.

"Vine, you're still too young and don't understand Brigitte's feelings", Myro said while shaking his head.

"Aren't we the same age?" said Vine.

"Well..... Stop talking about unimportant things. The point is you want to make Brigitte not angry anymore right?", Myro said while looking at Brigitte who was walking far ahead ignoring Vine and Myro at all.

"Then what should I do?" said Vine.

"You see the flowers there? You can buy them and give them to Brigitte. I'm sure she won't be mad at you anymore," Myro said, pointing to a flower sold in the shop.

"Why would I buy such an expensive flower. It costs 5 magic crystals. After all, the flower is of no use at all unless it is a decoration. It can't amplify a magician's power and is expensive just because it can't wither so it's suitable for display. Isn't it more ok I bought a monster core for Briggite, it can help her cultivate", said Vine while shaking his head at not

agree with Myro's suggestion.

Myro patted his head and sighed helplessly saying "Huh..... Why are you so stupid? What matters is not the item. But who gave it. If I gave the flower to Brigitte then she wouldn't be too happy. But , if you give it then Brigitte will definitely be very happy. Monster cores may indeed be useful for cultivation, but it's not a good thing to give while saying sorry to Brigitte right?".

Vine was still doubtful and said "Is that so? He would be happier if I gave him flowers?".

"Do you want to make him stop being angry or not? If not then you don't need to give it," said Myro annoyed at Vine's stupidity.

"Oh..... Fine, I'll buy it", then walked to the flower shop and bought the flower called the Undying Flower.

Vine immediately gave the flowers and ran to Brigitte while giving the flowers and said shyly "This is for you..... I think my words were quite harsh so sorry".

Seeing Vine who gave her the flower, Brigitte was slightly surprised. His anger towards Vine disappeared in an instant even Myro could see a trace of tenderness in his eyes. After all, Brigitte knew that this flower had a hefty price tag of 5 magic crystals. Even though they were from noble families and had some extra magic crystals given to them by their families, they were still very valuable for their cultivation of strength. Vine gave him a flower for 5 crystals just to get rid of his anger, even though the magic crystal was very important for Vine to increase his strength. Myro shook his head with a slight smile and said to himself "It's good to be young, wait..... Aren't I still a young person in this world too".

Brigitte took the flower, but immediately turned to the side and said pretending to be still angry "This time I will forgive you. But don't think that I will be happy just because you gave me flowers. Then, stop buying things that are so expensive for me. You'd better use those magic crystals to cultivate and become stronger".

After saying that, Brigitte started walking away while stroking the flower carefully. Seeing Brigitte who was no longer angry, Vine extended his thumb secretly to Myro saying that Myro's plan really worked. Vine and Myro started to walk around the trading place following Brigitte. They saw various kinds of monster cores. Seeing Vine and Brigitte who bought various plant elemental monster cores, Myro immediately said "Why are you cultivating using monster cores? Isn't that the same as using magic crystals?".

Hearing Myro's words, Vine said "How can it be the same? If you cultivate using a monster core then if you are lucky you can get the magic ability of the monster".

Myro immediately became interested and took a look at the monster's core as well. Some of the monsters have very useful abilities, such as the previous monster Myro fought that was the wind wolf. They have very fast and powerful wind blade magic abilities that are even difficult to detect. Therefore, Myro understood how good it would be if one could obtain the abilities that monsters possessed.

Just as Myro was about to choose a monster core, Shar's voice sounded in Myro's ear "Young master, I think it's better not to use a monster core to cultivate".

Hearing that, Myro immediately asked confusedly in his heart "Why?".

"Young master, when one reaches the legendary stage including mages then they have to choose their own path. If you absorb the core of a monster now and gain the ability of the monster, then in the future you will only take the path of a monster mage. A monster mage has the power to turn into a monster. which he has acquired the ability and a monster mage can only have a monster transformation. So I suggest if young master wants to become a monster mage then young master must absorb stronger monster cores like dragon or phoenix. Or young master can take another path like mage elements, fighting mages and etc. Therefore, legendary level mages have their own uniqueness. If the young master absorbs the weak monster core now, then when reaching the legendary level the young master will find it difficult because of the weak strength. Moreover, the weak monsters don't will be able to reach the semi-god stage", said Sh ar explains why.

Myro was immediately interested and said "If to become a monster mage we have to absorb the core of the monster and get their abilities if lucky and can only once. Then how to become another mage, like an elemental mage or a fighter you're talking about?".

"I don't really know how to become an elemental mage, but if you become an elemental mage you can control elements freely without the need for spells. Like a fire mage if he becomes a legendary elemental mage then the mage can control fire freely without the need for spells. As for fighting magicians, young masters need to train their physical and armed skills like using a sword. As for other magicians, I also don't know much about it," said Shar.

"How did you know this?" said Myro.

"Haera told me once," said Shar.

"Who is Haera?", said Myro.

"Young master forgot? Haera is one of the young master's 10 servants. Haera the alchemist wizard. The 10 young master's servants are very loyal to the young master. Even after the young master has been missing for 10 years, they are still waiting for the young master in the castle and always cleaning the castle. When the others asked why they stayed in the castle instead of looking for the young master, they said that the other young master's followers could look for the young master. Whereas they would always wait for the young master in the castle until the young master returned or summoned them. young masters come home and see dirty castle then they will feel guilty", said Shar reminded Myro.

Myro suddenly remembered that in the previous game The World Online he had made 10 servant characters led by a butler, an old man whom Myro named Sebas. Haera is a servant who also has the abilities of a magician and alchemist who can make various unique medicines. Haera wasn't the strongest among the summoned characters Myro had in The World Online. However, Haera is the best alchemist among all summoned characters in The World Online. As for the castle, Myro thought what was the use of them cleaning the castle. After all, Myro only made the castle a place to log out of the game. He even played on the computer so how would he know if the castle was clean or not.

Myro stopped thinking about it for now and immediately said to Vine "Still I think it's better to cultivate using magic crystals".

Vine still bought some monster cores and said "Are you sure Myro? The price of monster cores is not too expensive. Especially if we are lucky we can get unique abilities".

"That's right Myro, you know there is a mage in my family who absorbs monster cores and gains kobold power to sharpen their sense of smell. Even though it's not very useful when fighting, but it's very good at detecting other people", said Brigitte who had already bought some monster cores and tried to persuade Myro too.

Myro shook his head and said "It's okay, if you guys already bought let's go again".

Vine and Brigitte didn't persuade Myro anymore knowing that Myro had already made up his mind. They started walking around the trading place again to look at the items being sold.

Suddenly many disciples ran towards the center of the trading place. Seeing the incident, Vine said in confusion "What happened?".

"How about we take a look too? It's possible that the items being sold are so rare that they attract a lot of attention", said Brigitte.

"Yeah, let's see," said Myro nodding.

Myro, Vine and Brigitte immediately ran towards the city center as well. After they got there, they saw an old man with white hair and wearing a black robe tied up and hanging from a pole. Right now the old man was covered in blood. But the old man didn't look in pain, and continued to shout excitedly "I, Ford, are innocent. Let God Krous testify and avenge the injustice that I am experiencing now".

The person covered in blood was Ford who was serving a sentence of 100 lashes. The God Krous he mentioned was the God of the entire Continent of Fate. According to legend, when humans were about to become extinct due to being attacked by other races, Krous unlocked his most powerful magic and created a large and strong wall so that other races could not attack humans anymore. However, Krous was also seriously injured and had to hide first to heal his injuries. Man never forgets himself and regards him as a god.

"God Krous won't testify against liars and criminals like you Ford. And you still have another 50 lashes unfinished", said an old man in white robes who was the head of the Bright Light Academy.

The current head of the Bright Light Academy was holding a whip made of the light element. Then the academy head immediately raised his whip again and hit it hard at Ford. Ford didn't scream in pain but just gritted his teeth then looked at the head of the Dark Academy who was standing not far away with the Dark Academy wizards saying "Say Ford is innocent. I didn't commit the crime. Chief, believe me".

The head of the Dark Academy shook his head and said "Ford, you have committed a crime. But you don't even admit it. How bad of a nature you are, you are only tarnishing our Dark Academy's name".

The sound of the lashing echoed all around. But the bloodied Ford was still screaming with conviction "I'm Ford innocent. I didn't commit the crime."
