Chapter 705 How Many Rings Should We Make?
Joanne, who was having a private talk with Lily, raised her head when she sensed that her brother was about to come out of the cavern.
Lily, who had also sensed Ethan’s presence, glanced at the entrance of the cave and smiled when the young man finally walked out of it.
Joanne ran towards her brother, hoping that he had brought out some souvenirs for her.
And the moment her eyes landed on the cute flying squirrel seated on her brother’s shoulder, she immediately asked if she could pet it.
“Let me introduce the two of you first,” Ethan said with a smile. “Colt, this is my sister, Joanne. Joanne, this is Colt.”
“Hello, Colt,” Joanne looked at the cute squirrel with sparkling eyes. “Can I pet you?”
“Only if you are gentle,” Colt replied.
“Okay!” Joanne nodded and happily reached out her hand and stood on tiptoe so that Colt would be able to crawl onto her palm.
Colt also sensed that the little girl didn’t mean him any harm, so he crawled onto Joanne’s soft hand and stood on it.
“You’re so cute and fluffy!” Joanne exclaimed as she started to pet Colt’s head and back.
She even playfully rubbed the flying squirrel’s white belly, making Colt squirm because it felt very ticklish for him.
Seeing that his sister was happy to meet a new friend, Ethan decided to leave Colt in her care and walked toward Lily, who was waiting for him to emerge from the cave with Joanne.
“Can I see it?” Lily asked. “I want to know what kind of crystal you picked inside the crystal cavern.”
“Of course,” Ethan replied and showed Lily the blue crystal marbles he had placed in a small pouch.
The young lady picked one of them and gave it a closer look.
“Weird,” Lily commented. “For some reason, I feel as if this crystal is giving off your presence. Touching it is like… touching you.”
“…”
Ethan, who didn’t expect Lily would have that kind of reaction, picked up one of the blue crystal marbles and took a closer look at it.
He let it roll on the palm of his hand, but the only thing he could feel was his strong connection to it.
“That crystal is called Lovers Wish,” Colt said, while his head was being petted by Joanne. “It takes on the qualities of the first person who touched it, so it’s normal for you to feel Ethan’s presence in them.”
“They’re made from the tears of my Master, the Crystal Colossi, Zogerass. They have many amazing properties and abilities, including allowing you to talk to each other even though you are miles apart from each other.
“Also, each crystal resonates with each other, so no matter where you are, you will be able to trace those who possess the same crystal that you do. It also has a calming effect, which helps against anxiety, nervousness, and excessive fear.
“It also promotes good dreams and good rest. Last but not the least, it’s a very amazing crystal because it came from my Master, you know?”
Colt puffed up his chest and gave it a light pat.
Joanne giggled before lightly rubbing the Flying Squirrel’s belly, making Colt giggle as well.
Soon, the giggles of the two kids spread in the surroundings, making Ethan and Lily smile at each other.
“Let’s deliver these gems to the Crystal People,” Ethan said. “They already know what to do with them.”
Lily nodded and walked hand in hand with Ethan.
Joanne set Colt on her shoulder and then ran after them so she could also hold her brother’s hand.
She then used her free hand to pet Colt’s head, who seemed to have hit it off with Ethan’s sister.
When they arrived at the house of the Village Chief of the Crystal People, they were quite surprised to see the quality, as well as the radiance, of the crystals Ethan handed to them.
“This will make fine gems for your rings,” the Village Head declared. “By the way, Seff asked us to create rings, but how many should we make?”
“Six rings,” Ethan replied.
“Are you sure you only need six rings?” the Village Head smiled faintly.
Suddenly, Ethan remembered a certain mermaid princess who held grudges.
“… Seven.”
“Only seven?”
“Yes.”
The Village Head chuckled before nodding his head.
“Very well, seven rings,” the Village Head stated. “But we’ll keep the remaining crystals, just in case you will need more rings in the future.”
Ethan didn’t know how to feel about the Village Head’s words implying that the young man might have more wives in the future.
Lily, on the other hand, only shook her head helplessly because he had a feeling that the Village Head might be right.
However, her lover had told her about the matter with the Progenitors, so she planned to protect Ethan from girls who might trigger the worst-case scenario to happen.
The funny thing was that the one that was on top of the list was none other than her sister, Lyall.
She had to ensure that Lyall wouldn’t be able to make her move on Ethan because if she did, her lover would be facing some troublesome foes.
Foes that not even her family might be able to handle due to the disparity in numbers and strength.
“I’ll talk to my sister later and explain it to her properly,” Lily said. “I’m sure that she will listen… probably.”
Ethan lightly scratched his head because he could only hope that Lily would be able to convince her sister to leave him alone.
“Also, make sure to spend some time with Nicole later,” Lily stated. “Her body feels so cold, like a block of ice. She acts as if it’s not affecting her, but as someone who uses Ice Magic, I can tell that she’s just acting tough but hurting inside.
“You’re able to fix her condition, right? Make sure to see her after we return to the residence.”
Ethan’s expression became solemn after hearing Lily’s words.
This wouldn’t be his first time helping Nicole with her condition, so he was already familiar with how low the temperature her body could reach.
“I’ll see her later,” Ethan replied.
“Good.” Lily nodded. “Back then, I thought that she was just joking when she said that you were her bed warmer. It seems that you really need to warm her up so that she can sleep properly tonight.”
Lily’s tone was playful, but for some reason, it held a tinge of sadness.
She wasn’t sad because Ethan would be spending time with his best friend.
She was sad because the one whom she considered a close friend and rival was suffering from a disease that was slowly but surely eating her life away.
