Chapter 28 - 28: So that’s why
"... That's incredible, Desmond only seems to be around 19 years old and he already has 500..." Erik commented in a low voice, filled with surprise.
"And that surprises you? I'm over 1000 and look how young and beautiful I look," Sigrún said, smiling as she spun around, showcasing her exquisite beauty and tempting body.
"... Yes, you're right, master, I should have seen it coming from the beginning..." Erik began to reflect, but an idea quickly crossed his mind and he asked his master, "By the way, master, how old is Master Eleonora?"
"Hehehe, she's over 5000 years old."
"..."
Sigrún's cheerful words left Erik speechless, who looked at her in surprise while he seemed to be contemplating life, but the beautiful woman with golden hair quickly interrupted him.
"Don't worry so much about it, Erik. You'll get used to it. After all, we have a long life ahead of us together. Hehe."
With a small smile on her face, Sigrún hugged Erik briefly and then let go to stand in front of the board, where she wrote something else, all under the attentive gaze of the beautiful maid standing nearby with a professional look and an elegant smile on her face.
"Well, we got a bit sidetracked, but let's continue with the basic techniques. The third one is known as the Mana Pool, and this technique allows you to expand your Hugstjarna, or dantian as you called it, to increase your mana reserves.
By the way, the point where mana gathers in the body has different names depending on the magical system. Practitioners of the aegis system like me call it Hugstjarna, those of sacred geometry call it the Aurea Nexus or simply Nexus point, and in the Zazen discipline, it's referred to as dantian, so you can call it whatever you prefer."
Sigrún's brief explanation brought a question to Erik's mind, which he quickly asked after raising his hand.
