Chapter 807: The Sage and the Consultant Miss

「The Guild has passed the motion, deciding to vigorously promote the spread of Resurrection Magic in Orario, as well as research into Portable Resurrection Magic Devices.

Shortly, a person in charge from the Guild will come to discuss cooperation matters regarding Resurrection Magic with you.

At that time, the Guild side will provide the massive magic power consumption required to use Resurrection Magic, while your side only needs to produce a caster of Resurrection Magic who possesses the 【Lucky】 Development Ability —」

Miss Fool went to the Guild once and brought back this news.

The appearance of Resurrection Magic greatly guarantees the survival rate of Adventurers.

And the Guild's core purpose is to use Adventurers to completely capture the Dungeon.

So, in less than one week, the Guild raised the support motion for the newly emerged resurrection industry.

The purpose is to prepare to cover the high cost required for resurrection, just like when the Elixir was first developed and the price was sky-high, by controlling the raw material prices of Elixirs to control their selling prices, thereby achieving the survival rate of Adventurers exploring the Dungeon.

Of course, the fee standard for resurrection services opened by the Hestia Familia side is actually not high, but there is still room for price reduction within this. The Guild plans to conduct deep cooperation with the Hestia Familia regarding Resurrection Magic, providing cheaper Magic Stones, Magic Power Recovery Potions, and remains repair materials, thereby achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

And besides cost reduction and efficiency improvement, the Guild is also very interested in the Portable Resurrection Magic Device that Fels is researching.

After all, High-Level Adventurers going to adventure in the depths of the Dungeon Labyrinth might encounter life-threatening danger, and since they are adventuring in the depths, when encountering life-threatening danger, it's impossible to always be accompanied by a Healer who masters Resurrection Magic, right.

Therefore, Fels's research is also seen as promising by the Guild, considered a new project with development prospects.

「Guild President Royman has already sent a communication to the School District side. Not long after, when the School District's giant wheel arrives at Port Melen, the Guild should recruit corresponding research talent in the School District and form a team dedicated to researching Resurrection Magic Devices. 」

「, doesn't Orario have anyone here? 」

「There are, but this part of the talent is basically in various top-tier Magic Stone Workshops in Orario. Wanting to poach people from top-tier Magic Stone Workshops will be somewhat difficult. Wanting to summon this group of people will definitely require paying enough of a price, and Guild President Royman values management rights very much —」

The Resurrection Magic Device will be the cutting-edge magic stone technology of future Orario. Regarding paying a high price to poach existing talent to research Resurrection Magic Devices, or starting from zero to recruit people and form a research team, Guild President Royman chose the latter. The other party wants to consolidate the Guild's influence over Orario and wants to firmly grasp the decision-making power over the city's operational matters in hand.

For this, even if needing to wait some more time, waiting for the School District's giant wheel to arrive at Orario, then going there to recruit people and form a research team, slowing down the research progress of Resurrection Magic Devices, is also acceptable.

「And I, as a person trusted by Lord Uranus, was granted by Guild President Royman the responsibility of being the person in charge of forming the future research team. So, Broly, I need your help. 」

「Uh, Miss Fels, what can I help you with? 」

「Considering that in the future I need to get along with normal research personnel, I need to change this earth-born human appearance that I have maintained for over eight hundred years. I need your help to resurrect me. 」

Fels's earth-born human appearance is a product of her research on the path of immortality. Although it indeed realized surpassing the lifespan limit of original humans, this appearance also deprived her of the right to communicate normally with people.

Considering that she would later need to bear the responsibility of being the person in charge of the Resurrection Magic Device research team, she decided to discard this earth-born human appearance that she had maintained for over eight hundred years.

「Helping you resurrect is no problem, but after being resurrected and recovering a normal flesh body, Miss Fels, your life should also return to the state of a normal human. You will become unable to be immortal. Is that okay? 」

Broly raised his question, and Resurrection Magic cannot resurrect those who died of natural death. In other words, Fels wanting to resurrect equals discarding her immortal state that has continued from eight hundred years until now. If not resurrected, she might still be able to keep living, but after resurrection, she would have to face the lifespan limit problem of normal human existence.

And she made herself into an earth-born human appearance, which can also be considered a research accident. Currently, it is estimated that even this Miss Fool herself cannot recreate this experience again, just like after the Philosopher's Stone was destroyed, she still hasn't been able to create a second one until now.

「Only a limited life can make people deeply realize the preciousness of time. Always maintaining this state makes my view of time increasingly indifferent, and this body also makes it difficult for me to taste things that normal people can enjoy, such as food.

Well, being the person in charge of the research team is just an opportunity that makes me realize that deep in my heart, I actually still want to become a normal person again.

And the success of Resurrection Magic also makes me regain the confidence I once lost. I believe I can definitely research new magic to extend life after resurrection, before dying of natural death.

So, please, let me live again! 」

Fels gave such an answer and then entrusted Broly in front of her.

Since things had come to this point and their relationship was quite good, Broly naturally did not hesitate.

He raised his hand and shattered Fels's skull, causing this Miss Fool to fall to the ground and enter a state of death.

Then, aiming at the remains on the ground, he chanted Resurrection Magic.

As the light pillar of the Gate of the Underworld opened and closed again, the pale bones on the ground also turned into a complete flesh-and-blood body.

A black long straight-haired woman, carrying the heavy white coat researcher temperament, with an expression somewhat emotionless, appeared on the spot.

Fels, Miss Fool — oh no, now she should be called Miss Sage. Her eyelashes twitched twice, then she opened her eyes.

She opened her mouth but made no sound. After a while, she reacted. With a flesh body, she could not use magic power to simulate vocal cord sounds at the throat.

「Cough, well —」

Like debugging a microphone speaker.

「Broly, did you have to act so quickly? 」

An intellectual onee-san voice sounded. Miss Sage started with a complaint as soon as she opened her mouth.

「Uh, didn't you want to be resurrected? 」

Broly looked at her somewhat innocently.

「I know my state requires being killed once to be resurrected, but couldn't you let me know before acting? You really scared me —」

Fels touched her smooth forehead. Although she had no pain sensation when she was an earth-born human, the feeling of her soul instantly falling into darkness was also not very pleasant.

Watching being killed and resurrected, only a very short time had passed, but for Fels, it felt like being locked in a small dark room for a period of time.

The time from falling into darkness to seeing the light again was longer than normal passing time, giving her a feeling of about three to five quarter-hours.

Fortunately, she was successfully resurrected.

Fels stood up, but her footsteps staggered. As she fell forward, she was timely supported by the Saiyan youth.

「Sorry, having a flesh body is quite different from before when it was all bones. I might need to adapt a bit. 」

It had been too long without flesh and blood. Miss Sage was like someone paralyzed for many years who had just regained the ability to walk. Her control over her body was somewhat shaky.

「Do you need me to help you adapt to your current body faster? 」

「Do you have a way? 」

「Very simple. Stimulate the acupoints all over your body and use Qi to travel through your whole body. 」

「Then, please do it. 」

Fels did not refuse. Being supported to lie on the ground, she let the Saiyan youth do as he wished.

「I feel like you did it on purpose, just to take advantage of my child, right? 」

The Loli Goddess stood with arms crossed at the side, watching Miss Sage whose acupoints were being stimulated and who was making strange panting sounds, and raised an eyebrow as she said.

「It really wasn't intentional. However, I do have the thought of taking advantage. Well, Lady Hestia, I don't know if you can let me join your Familia? 」

「, aren't you a person of Uranus? 」

"I am, but my divine blessing is not from Lord Uranus."

"In fact, after losing my flesh-and-blood body, I lost the ability to update my status."

"Lord Uranus merely recruited me to work for him; he did not make me a child of his Familia."

"But you've regained a physical body, haven't you?"

"But Lord Uranus does not have permission to arbitrarily expand the number of Familia members."

"Uh—"

Hestia reacted; she had almost forgotten that the reason the Guild could act as mediator and commander for all the Familias was because it was exchanged for some of Lord Uranus's own promises, one of which was that Familia member numbers could not be arbitrarily expanded, with certain restrictions and requirements even on levels, belonging to the prohibition of private armed forces for all Familias.

Of course, buying members of other Familias as private soldiers is a borderline practice.

"Then what about your former Main God?"

"He returned to Heaven long ago; now that I've regained a physical body, if I want to update my status, I must find a new god and join their Familia."

"Uh, even so, you don't have to join my Familia, do you?"

"I want to leech off Broly's Wings skill."

Facing Hestia's inquiry, Fels spoke bluntly: the Saiyan youth's Wings skill was incredibly fragrant; since he had to join some Familia anyway, why not join one most beneficial to himself and one he understood best?

"Hey hey hey, Miss Sage, do you know what you're saying?"

"Don't think you can just take huge advantages just because you're on good personal terms with my child."

"My Broly's Wings skill is only for Encounter Targets and External Wives."

"You're not his Encounter Target, so what are you butting in for?"

"Then it's simple; I'll just become his External Wife."

"?!" *2

Hestia and Broly both looked at her somewhat surprised.

"Please rest assured, I'm not the kind of person who takes a position but does nothing; Broly, if you have physiological problems in the future that need someone to help you solve, you can ask me for help too."

As the Miss Sage said this, she opened her mouth; during the days she lived at Hearth Manor, she had seen Broly in the midst of encounters many times, leading her to mistakenly think the youth had that sort of kink, though she put it rather directly.

Although she had never dated anyone in life and had no experience with matters between men and women, just helping someone solve problems, she felt was still quite simple.

Just paying this kind of price to exchange for a powerful skill was simply too worth it.

"Miss Fels, I can give you an External position, but there's no need for you to help; unless, you need my help."

Based on his private friendship with Miss Sage, Broly was willing to give the other party a Crystal Palace External position, but whether to develop her into a true wife would depend on Miss Fels's own wishes in the future; he did not insist on this side.

As for the need to solve physiological problems, honestly, Broly's needs in this area were less than the supply from Hearth Manor's Encounter Targets and External Wives, especially in these last two days, as Liu and Adi would always sneak into his room under the cover of night.

Last night, the two even ran into Chunji; as a result, the three helped together, but actually, when not being teased, he didn't need help.

Of course, it was true that the three needed help.

And as the number of Crystal Palace External Wives increased, Broly's Vitality growth began to exceed the growth of other basic abilities; after all, someone came to play chicken-eating games with him every day, and his Vitality was fully exercised.

Miss Sage joined the Crystal Palace, and that day the Guild sent a person in charge, tacitly hiring her, who had joined the Hestia Familia, as an expert consultant for Resurrection Magic.

Obviously, this was done through Qi; Fels's side had made plans in advance.

And after the Guild reached a cooperation intention with the Hestia Familia based on Resurrection Magic services, they directly announced this news to the public.

The main contents were two:

First, Adventurers could enjoy Resurrection discounts of varying degrees according to their level; the higher the level of the Adventurer, the greater the Resurrection discount they enjoyed.

Second, Resurrection coverage was opened; any Adventurer registered and certified by the Guild could purchase this premium to obtain protection for their Adventurer life safety.

The former was for High-Level Adventurers, the latter for Low-Level Adventurers; Low-Level Adventurers had an extremely high probability of dying in the Dungeon, but the possibility of their corpses being brought out intact was also high; they just had no money to pay the Resurrection fee.

The Guild was willing to provide certain Resurrection benefit protection for insured Low-Level Adventurers, allowing those Low-Level Adventurers who didn't understand the Dungeon well enough and died carelessly in the Dungeon to have a chance to start over.

"I reckon that after experiencing death once, those new Adventurers would take their subsequent Adventurer lives seriously."

This was a proposal strongly recommended by Broly's Dungeon Advisor, the half-elf Miss Eina.

And to get this proposal passed, when discussing the cooperation content, this half-elf Miss also came in person and sincerely requested Broly's support.

Otherwise, with just herself alone, it was estimated to be difficult to pass this proposal, which, though reasonable, would obviously cause huge losses to the Guild.

"Thank you, Broly; if it weren't for you proposing the concept of Resurrection Insurance, Guild President Royman might not have agreed."

Well, after the Guild announced the cooperation content to the public, this half-elf Miss came specially to thank him.

"It's nothing; this is just a matter of lifting a hand, and I only proposed some things that suddenly came to my mind."

Broly waved his hand indifferently.

"Miss Advisor, my Broly helped you so much; are you just going to thank him with empty words and be done with it?"

"Ah, then Lady Hestia, I don't know what reward Broly wants?"

Eina also felt that empty words and a couple of thanks lacked sincerity, so she hurriedly asked.

"As long as it's within my ability to thank, I will definitely thank."

"So sincere? Then—"

Hestia sized up the half-elf from top to bottom and suddenly asked.

"Miss Eina, do you have a boyfriend now?"

"Ah, no, what's wrong?"

"Then do you want a boyfriend—oh no, do you want a husband?"

Eina was a smart half-elf; she quickly realized who the Loli Goddess's husband target was.

"My Broly has a special skill: the more wives, the more powerful; you're a good, responsible girl, so—"

Hestia was truly serious about developing her Familia with Broly as the core and managing her youth's harem; the Dungeon Advisor half-elf Miss Eina's kindness toward low-level Adventurers made her think highly of her, believing such a child was worth pulling into the Hearth Manor family.

Eina: "What's wrong, Miss Eina, are you unwilling?"

"Or is this kind of thing beyond your ability and not something you can decide for yourself?"

Hestia pursued the question.

"Ah, I can decide this matter myself, but is Mr. Broly willing?"

The Half-Elf lady secretly observed the Saiyan youth; when she was first responsible for him, Broly had still been like a child, but now he was about the same height as her.

"I have no problem on this side, as long as Miss Eina is willing."

"Then, alright, I am willing."

With the thought of repaying him, the Half-Elf lady half-pushed, half-agreed.

And this actually had to do with her good impression of Broly, and she did not reject the youth in her heart.

As Broly's Dungeon Advisor, Eina knew quite a few things.

Such as Liliruca's, and also Bell's, and she had even inquired about Chunji's side.

Unlike the outside world's belief that Broly was an extreme Tyrant, Eina's impression of the Saiyan youth had always been good, and she was not influenced by public opinion.

However, when she revealed the news of leaving single to her friend Misyxia, who was also Guild Staff, and told her the partner's identity, she was still teased soundly.

"Ah, you actually like that kind of guy who has multiple boats? Although I know he is powerful, and his future is absolutely bright, choosing him, Eina, aren't you lacking too much consideration?"

"No, you don't understand Broly; the rumors about him are actually mostly passed down erroneously, and I know the real him."

"Misunderstanding, then is the rumor about him having multiple boats also fake?"

"Uh, that one is true."

Misyxia: "————"

Her own Half-Elf friend definitely had something wrong.

"Then do you like a married man, or do you like group activities with more than two people?"

"Neither, I just think he is not bad————"

To increase persuasiveness, Eina revealed the matter of the Resurrection Insurance as well.

"So, you are doing it to repay the favor of him supporting your proposal?"

"Well, partly, but not entirely————"

The Half-Elf lady who had drunk a little wine had slightly flushed cheeks, and muttered somewhat embarrassedly.
