reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

So, while working on the protective ring that Bai Ye had created, Bai Ye brought Yelena over.

"Hmm?" Nian seemed to sense something, looked at the white rabbit in front of her, and suddenly frowned.

"You... are you cursed by your own talent? If you don't control it, you will become very strong."

“But he’ll die soon,” Bai Ye added from the side.

"Yes, perhaps her magic could reach a level that no one has ever reached before, but at that time, she would probably be close to death."

What Bai Ye had heard about Nian was from Dr. Kal'tsit.

After all, when Yelena was brought to Rhodes Island, it alarmed both the sorcerer and medical departments.

The most skilled doctors and sorcerer researchers in all of Terra conducted an expert consultation for her and finally formulated a treatment plan.

"You want me to make a heating stone for her?" Nian guessed Bai Ye's idea at a glance.

Bai Ye nodded.

……

"Honestly, the moment I arrived, you dragged me to do this and that..."

Chapter 88 Don't Be Stingy with Her

Although he complained, he seemed quite happy while helping out.

"What I'm good at used to be very practical skills, but I'm too easily influenced by the current situation. Right now, I'm really caught up in the flames of war. I'm so used to the feeling of holding weapons in my hands that I sometimes feel a little uncomfortable when my hands are empty. It's really difficult."

As she spoke, a light emanated from her hand. A moment later, the light dissipated, and an antique-style necklace appeared in her hand.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve made something like this, and I don’t know how effective it will be… Well, I hope it will be of some use.” Nian handed the item to Yelena. “Hmm, it feels pretty good. At least, I can make something that will be useful to you.”

Yelena reached out and took the necklace that Nian handed her.

"Thank you."

Nian shook his head:

"Don't thank me, thank him instead... Honestly, I asked him for help, but I ended up doing his work instead."

"After all, it's rare to see you usually, so I'm just trying to take advantage of you," Bai Ye joked from the side.

"Hmph, as expected... your strength has increased, and your tone of voice has become harsher." Nian looked at Bai Ye, clearly noticing the changes in him.

Bai Ye also smiled:

"Wouldn't becoming stronger be able to help you better?"

“That’s true.” Nian said, walking to Bai Ye’s side and extending her hand. “Let me see.”

"Look at what?" Bai Ye blinked.

"The sword, is it your... 'Wind Chime'?" Nian said irritably. "Since you're already ordering me around, why don't we settle things now so you can help me in peace?"

Speaking of which, the name Wind Chime is quite strange. It's supposed to be as loud as a typhoon, yet it has such a delicate name.

Bai Ye also understood the meaning of "year".

As a blacksmith, after-sales service for the products he creates is also very important. Furthermore, the marks left by use on a sword can reveal the user's attitude and approach.

Bai Ye reached out, his inventory was activated, and a sharp blade automatically jumped into his hand.

He handed the sword over.

"Hmm..." Nian narrowed his eyes as soon as he held the sword. Perhaps to others, a sword is just a sword, a weapon. But to Nian, every tool has a life of its own.

She could feel the will contained within the sword in her hand.

"The blood of the strong, the clash of weapons, the profound sword techniques..."

Nian muttered to himself, as if he could see many things through the sword.

After a while, she opened her eyes, ran her hand across the blade, and then handed the "wind chime" back to Bai Ye.

"It seems to be working very well."

“After all, he is a trustworthy partner.” Bai Ye grasped the hilt of his sword, and the light, one-handed longsword hummed softly in his hand.

“However, you can also trust it a little more,” Nian said, extending his index finger.

"Trust it more?" Bai Ye asked, somewhat puzzled.

He certainly had great faith in his weapon; after all, it was a warrior's, or rather, a player's, most basic reliance. A player's stats were fixed, so the way to increase their potential was naturally to find a suitable weapon.

"Ah yes..."

Bai Ye suddenly thought of something.

Do players really have complete confidence in the equipment they have?

No, what players trust is the sense of security and power that equipment brings.

If a better weapon becomes available, the player will immediately switch weapons to achieve a better state.

However, this issue seems unnecessary to discuss, since players only need to constantly change weapons due to their rapid growth rate. But for Bai Ye, this problem is practically nonexistent, as this weapon is already considered the pinnacle of weapons available on this land.

There is almost no one better than her.

Unless Bai Ye can dig up another phase sword left over from the previous civilization from underground.

In other words, Bai Ye is not someone who is always ready to switch weapons.

So, what exactly was the year referring to?

“You’re using this sword too restrainedly,” Nian said, providing the answer.

"Too restrained?" Bai Ye blinked.

"Whether casting spells or fighting, you are too restrained, always controlling your output or avoiding the clash of blades."

As Nian spoke, he pointed to the "wind chime" in Bai Ye's hand:

"This child has always craved clashes; that is the mission of weapons, they are meant for violence."

"A direct collision would cause far too much damage to the weapon..." Bai Ye argued.

There is no such thing as a wedge-shaped projectile that can be used to strike anything in this world. After all, if you were to use a knife to strike iron, the weapon would probably break in no time.

“So, you have to have some faith in this child.” Nian smiled. “Don’t be stingy with her body. Use her in battle without hesitation. She can handle it all. She can kill enemies, and of course, she can also block their weapons and protect you.”

Bai Ye was somewhat surprised:

"I never imagined that a gentle touch could reveal so much..."

He never imagined that such a miraculous thing as communicating with weapons actually existed.

"After all, it's a weapon I forged myself... and it's the one I'm most satisfied with. I doubt that if I were to try again now, I really wouldn't be able to make another weapon like this."

Bai Ye nodded knowingly:

"I'll pay attention next time."

“This child is rather… well, she likes to be treated roughly, so use her as much as you like!” Nian said, delivering a terrible line.

Indeed, Bai Ye had always avoided direct collisions between his weapon and his opponent. This was also his strategy when using "Arc Light." It was precisely because of this that he was able to extend the lifespan of a weapon that could not actually fully bear his power.

Having gotten used to this, he also became very careful when dealing with the wind chimes.

After all, this weapon is very slender and looks quite delicate.

Now that Nian has spoken up, Bai Ye naturally has to have confidence in his weapon, as well as in the craftsmen who forged it.

"If that's the case, then more tactics can be put into use..."

If conditions permit, Bai Ye is certainly not the kind of person who would be stingy with weapons.

However, hearing this still feels a bit awful.

……

"However, that's not bad either. The better you are, the more you can help me."

The preparations for the New Year's Eve have been completed.

They also maintained and upgraded all of the Deep Sea Hunter's equipment. It's time to set off.

After all, it's time to go.

"It's a good opportunity now that the immortals aren't around."

Bai Ye twirled his sword and sheathed the "Wind Chime".

Chapter 89 Age

Giant beasts, or rather, gods, are mysterious beings that existed on the land long before the rise of the Terran dynasties. In the past, more than one existed within the territory of Yan Kingdom.

They possess extremely powerful abilities.

Even with the utmost national strength and the assistance of its oldest and most powerful member, the Great Yan Dynasty in the past was unable to completely annihilate them, only managing to kill a few before driving the rest out of Yan Land.

Even so, it was still an incredibly great feat.

Just like in Dark Souls, where Seath, the scaleless white dragon who betrayed his own kind, helped Gwyn, the Great Firelord, successfully slay the ancient dragons and create the Age of Fire, the Great Firelord created an era belonging to mankind by his own power.

And that ancient being who betrayed his own kind received his just punishment. Before his departure, his kin exacted their revenge, leaving him extremely weak.

After being forced to submit to humanity, this once most powerful being split itself into twelve fragments, each possessing different powers and authority, hidden across this land.

And Nian is one of them.

According to her, she is the ninth child in her family.

"..."

Goredia remained silent.

After a long pause, she sighed:

"I underestimated the land people. They have actually achieved this, far surpassing us Agorians."

"You've been isolated from the land for too long. Your innate arrogance has made you used to looking down on others, but you've overlooked many things that are obvious to you," Bai Ye added mercilessly from the side.

"Although I'm very unhappy... I can't argue with it." Laurentina hugged Bai Ye's arm and puffed out her cheeks.

"It's alright. Recognizing your own shortcomings is the first step to treating others with kindness," Bai Ye said with a smile.

Laurentina didn't react at all, but Gretia was slightly taken aback.

"Gentle, isn't she..."

She then realized that she had indeed changed a lot since she came ashore, to the point that she felt somewhat unfamiliar with herself.

The person who brought about all these changes was now being held by her teammates as if nothing had happened.

I'm inexplicably annoyed...

……

"Okay, continue."

Nian continued, "..."

“There are twelve of us in total, but… sixty years ago, one of us went missing due to some incident.”

"So, there are still 11 people left... 60 years ago." Bai Ye frowned.

“Among us, some are hidden in the martial world, some hold high positions in the imperial court, and some have inherited the will of the original body, attempting to take revenge on the Great Yan.” Nian snapped his fingers.

"Which one are you?" Goredia asked.

“None of them…or rather, I’m rather rebellious and want to find a way to break free from my original self,” Nian explained. “In this respect, you are among the few people who can help.”

"Separate from the original body?" Bai Ye raised an eyebrow.

"You should know about the avatars of giant beasts, right?"

"Yes, I know, and I've seen some of them." Bai Ye no longer hid anything.

“We are similar to the incarnations of a giant beast, but the difference is that we have split into twelve, and each of us has evolved into an independent personality different from the original. In other words, we are no longer part of the original body, but independent individuals,” Nian explained.

“Recently, for some unknown reason, the true form of ‘Sui’ seems to be awakening. At that time, all the fragments will merge into one…” Nian continued.

"In other words—" Bai Ye suddenly realized.
