Chapter 7: My Aide-de-Camp

Yulian's account is both objective and detailed. He begins with the origins of his own body and continues to analyze all the difficulties encountered in the current territory. In fact, this information had already been organized in his mind long before Yulian discovered Oufalier, merely awaiting a solution to these issues.

However, You Lian did not say anything more; on the contrary, he gazed at Oufalier before him with a look of pride.

What does it feel like to become human again

After listening to Yulian's account, O'Fahlir widened her eyes in astonishment. She stared blankly at Yulian, and it took her quite a while to regain her composure.

I understand your meaning, Mr. Youlian. You have given me a new body, allowing me to once again experience the joy of living in this world. In exchange and as a token of my gratitude, I will serve you. I swear by my name and honor that I will follow you forever, until I... completely disappear.

Mr. Youlian, if I am not mistaken, you mean that what we currently possess is only this castle and a small town with a monthly tax revenue of only 100 gold coins? Moreover, this territory is still a noble estate? And you have no personnel around you?

As she spoke, You Lian extended her finger towards her chest, while Oufalier instinctively crossed her arms in front of her chest once again. Fortunately, You Lian did not mean to be "direct and straightforward" this time. However, Oufalier was well aware that the warm beating in her chest was definitely not a sensation coming from her heart

You Lian stood up and extended his right hand towards O'Farrell.

Eufalia clearly recognized the seriousness of the issue

Compared to dealing with the nobles of the capital, this difficulty is merely a trivial matter for me

However, this is absolutely not enough

I have shaped a condensed core for your soul, and centered around this core, I have woven a body resembling that of a human using your immense magical power. On the surface, this body is indistinguishable from a human, possessing warmth and a heartbeat. However, it will not grow like an ordinary human; instead, it will change in accordance with your will.

I am this ... ...

So, starting today, you will be my adjutant. How do you feel about this arrangement? Are you satisfied with it?

In response to Eufaliel's words, Yulian spread his hands and revealed a confident smile

I believe you have also realized that you are not truly human, at least not at this moment

The greater the difficulty, the greater the sense of achievement in conquering it

Now there is you... and that group of wandering souls, and I hope that in a few days, I might be able to recruit some people from the town

However, I am not a magician

Upon hearing this sentence, Oufalier immediately sat up straight. She looked quietly and solemnly at Yulian, while simultaneously putting down the teacup she had been playing with in her hand

Please rest assured to leave it to me

You Lian smiled triumphantly, and this time, Oufalier finally detected a hint of a scheming smile on his face.

Everything is proceeding very smoothly

I will not let you down, Mr. You Lian.

I also have no way to teach you

At this moment, the young girl is slumped in her chair, breathing heavily. Her slender, graceful legs are tightly pressed together, while her hands are clasped in front of her chest. Her prominent bosom rises and falls continuously, showcasing an enchanting allure. Her exquisite and beautiful face reveals a faint blush. Even her skin, as white as jade, is tinged with an enticing pink. Her captivating azure eyes have completely lost focus, staring blankly at the ceiling above. Just this scene alone is enough to make You Lian feel that it is worth the price of admission.

I have said it before, I am a knight, not a mage. I do not quite understand the peculiarities of mages. Therefore, I cannot offer you any advice in this regard. However, what I can say is that you do not possess any spells, which limits your means of consuming magical power. Given your currently vast and astonishing magical energy, I believe that as long as you do not cast any spells, maintaining this state for a decade or more should not be a problem.

Gently gasping, Ophalia finally recovered from that intoxicating sensation. She twitched her small, adorable nose, inhaling the refreshing air, and gazed at the flames before her. The warm breath enveloped the young girl’s body, making her feel as if she were in a comfortable inn. Moreover, Ophalia distinctly felt a fiery object within her chest, slowly pulsating and emanating an unparalleled vitality.

Eufaliel's expression was somewhat shy, and it was no wonder. Although she had almost instinctively followed Yulian's orders just moments ago, the young girl was well aware of the expression she had shown at that time. While it was not intentional, Eufaliel was still just a girl. Even though she possessed extensive knowledge and a strong will, she remained merely a young girl.

What you possess now is a human form, but it is not the true body of a human

Originally, Eufelia intended to say "until I die," but in the end, she hurriedly changed her words, as strictly speaking, she was already dead

You Lian shrugged his shoulders

While gazing at Ophélie, Julien simultaneously provided her with an explanation

You Lian's voice roused Oufalier from her semi-conscious state. She hurriedly sat up, while also remembering to tidy her clothes and hair. Although the sensations of the physical body were not as convenient as those of the soul, for Oufalier, it was already the most satisfying state. She was no longer willing to endure the loneliness, terror, and coldness of her soul form; it was her true physical body that she desired the most.

Very good

If an uninformed person were to see it, they might not even know how to imagine it—indeed, even for those who are informed, their thoughts are likely not to differ much.

Then, next, I will explain to you the situation we are currently facing

Eufalir quickly grasped the main point in Yulian's words

Please do not make such jokes, Mr. You Lian.

Of course, this body can still allow you to digest food, but in fact, you do not need to digest food. You only need to learn to meditate to ensure that your magical power does not dissipate, and then your body will not encounter any issues. However, if your magical power becomes weak, then your body will collapse... If it reaches that point, you will revert back to a spiritual form.

Very good

You Lian spoke as she placed a cup of red tea in front of Oufalier, who immediately picked up the teacup with the reverence one would show to a rare treasure. She gently caressed the rim, feeling the warmth emanating from within, and then took a small sip of the hot tea— for a girl who had not touched anything for thirty years, this seemed like the most exquisite tea. However, she did not allow herself to be lost in enjoyment; Oufalier keenly sensed the implications in You Lian's words. She raised her head, waiting for You Lian to continue her explanation.

Upon hearing this, Ophalia did not say anything further; however, from the constant movement of her eyes, it was evident that this former princess was certainly going to seek out a mage to discuss and research this issue.

Eufalia reached out her hand and grasped the broad, warm palm of the young man before her

I do not know how to meditate

Eufalia raised her elegantly shaped eyebrows, revealing a confident expression

I suppose, Your Highness the Princess has never dealt with such a difficult problem before, is it possible that you are considering giving up

Very well, Mr. You Lian

Mr. Youlian, I do not know what you are thinking, but from my perspective, if you wish to build a career centered around this castle, the difficulty is indeed considerable

Now, the next point of our transaction is the focus, Miss Ofalir.

In fact, even Yulian did not expect that Ophaliel's magical power was so immense. That abundant magical energy not only completely shaped her form but also entirely recreated the clothes that the girl remembered wearing. This powerful ability to create out of nothing had only been seen by Yulian in a few great archmages, and he truly did not anticipate that Ophaliel would possess such talent
