Chapter 59
Lala and the girls are still enjoying the luxury that is the Royal Baths as I’ve come to call the giant hot tub in my suite, so Hui’Jin returns with 3 bags, dragging them along the floor as they’re too heavy for her to lift.
I see Karl coming down the ramp and flag him over.
"Karl, buddy old pal. Want to do me a teeny tiny favor?"
"How tiny are we talking?"
"About 4 feet? I’d like you to help Hui’Jin here awaken her cultivation before we have to go to the dungeon. She’s a pretty good fire mage for her age, and I can sense she’s got potential, but we don’t have time."
"Even knowing the risks? The Dragons did mention that they’d already tried our method and people still blew up."
"Trust me, she’s one of us. It won’t be a problem. But maybe we should ask her."
"Ask me what Highness? I will do whatever you command" Yeah, maybe asking her is irrelevant, she’ll do whatever she thinks we want her to do. Karl seems to have come to the same conclusion.
"I’m going to cut this stone into 12 pieces. You eat them one at a time and try circulating the energy through your body."
"Yes your Highness" she finishes with her mouth wide open waiting for the piece. It’s kind of cute, like Lala when she’s waiting for popcorn while we watch movies.
The first piece shows her pathways are naturally clear to one point beyond her mana pool, a very good sign. Karl carefully clears away blockages one at a time, cautious not to let the energy run amok or tear any of the mana veins. By the time he’s gotten to the last piece we’ve gathered a pretty big audience. Neisa, The Blue and Lelou plus the White Priestess from downstairs are all watching the process along with Jurgen and the Ramirez Brothers.
