Chương 145: Chapter 128. Restoring Mana

I was deep into the Meditation. I had no idea how much time had passed. As a consequence of entering this Meditation, I've become a bit more sensitive to mana. I can sense the mana around me. Ruby and Edmon hadn't moved yet, Ruby's mana felt like a nice summer day, even if it was a small amount. Edmon felt like a cold, late, autumn night and there was massive amount compared to Ruby's. But the true stars of the show, were the 2 familiar mana sources coming towards me.

One was like a heavy purple blanket on a cold winter night. Even though the night was cold, the blanket kept me warm and alive. The other was like a relaxing spring day spent in a forest. If I couldn't have guessed, my Wives were here now. fall. press. And the major give away, if the Mana Sensitivity I had wasn't enough, was the feeling of hitting the ground as 2 people forcibly hugged mm. I opened my eyes to find a pair of purple and a pair of green eyes staring back at me with concern." Sorry I made you worried."

With the looks on their faces, I could only say one thing." You're covered in blood..." Anna sounded heartbroken as she spoke." Who! Did! This!?" pat... pat... Sarah's voice was full of anger directed at the culprits. I begin to pat their heads in an attempt to calm both of them down." The person who did this is long gone. Relax and stop emitting bloodlust, you're scaring other victims of the culprit. Please, Sarah." Sarah heeded my words but was not pleased to know the person had escaped her wrath."

What happened exactly?" Sarah wanted answers. I explained everything from meeting Wendy to the idea of bringing the Humans to Paradise. Sarah and Anna were silent as I explained, the hunting parties led by Skitz and Flare were also silent while I spoke. Eventually, Sarah proceeded to speak to me." So, the Elves attacked Humans... Strange. Why would they do that?"" I'm not sure. I'd rather know why they pretended to be Dark Elves myself. Maybe they're a radical group who want to segregate Humans and Elves?

Maybe they wanted Promethia to wage another war on the Dark Elves since the war on Diablos has reached a standstill?"" Maybe, but if they wanted that, why not just join the war effort instead of staying out of it for a decade? Darling, are you sure that it was Elves?"" Yeah, as soon as that necklace was damaged, her entire appearance changed and she was angry about it. Sarah, Anna and I traded a few thoughts back and forth." Lord Matthew, are you really sure about bringing the Humans to Paradise?

I'm sure Big Sis and Edmon have told you, but it's going to cause a big problem most likely." Flare spoke after the discussion between my Wives and I died down. I turned to her and answered her question." Yes, I am sure. I know it will be difficult based on all of the history that Humans and Demons have, but I think I have enough good reasons to get everyone to allow them to stay for a few weeks."" Weeks?" Emily asked, surprised at the time frame I gave. I turn to her so I could answer her now." Yes, "weeks".

I can heal you all in a day, but what happens after you all leave and get attacked again. Neither the Demons here today or I will be able to help you again." Emily looked disheartened by my words." However, just because you don't have Combat Jobs, that doesn't mean you can't learn some basics so you can stay alive on your journey. In return for my healing of you all and giving you lessons on self-defense... Throw in some weapons when you leave. I'll have you teach my Craftsmen from some of your best.

By the end of 3 to 4 weeks, I imagine you all should be able to leave in tip top shape with at least a shot of making it to Kuga. And my people will be more skilled in return in their respective fields. I think I'll have Ruby teach you if it all goes well."" M--Me!?" Ruby spoke in a surprised tone from my words. This is becoming a running gag at this point. I turn to Ruby and answer her question." Yes, "you", Ruby."" Why... Me?"" Because you don't seem to hate Humans.

You've been able to get along with me and Wendy just fine, haven't you? Also, if, for any reason, a Human were to try something, you can easily defeat them. I trust you after hunting with you these past few weeks."" You... Trust me?" I nodded to her words. Why is it so hard for her to believe me? It's not like I've lied to her yet? Hm? Why are Sarah and Anna looking at each other like that? It's like they're having a conversation about something serious... Maybe their thinking about my idea? Speaking of which."

I know there are some flaws with this, but I feel like the vast majority of the problems for this would come from either the Humans or Demons just simply hating each other and starting fights for no reason. I think explaining this out in the open, in front of everyone in Paradise is the way to do it. When we get back, Ruby, Edmon, Gather the Representatives of the People of Diablos." Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon." Representatives?" Flare asked me this time.

She was just as confused as her first question. I turned to explain." Yes, the leaders of the Flameskins and Iceskins. As well as Janet and Jim, as the speakers for the Settlers that came after I arrived. Am I missing anyone, Sarah, Anna?" Sarah and Anna shook their heads. Flare seemed to finally realize what "Representatives" meant. With that done, we moved on to another problem for the current situation." My Love, there're around 500 people here. Do you have enough mana to transport that many?"

Sarah noticed the most immediate problem at the moment. She and Anna always have a way of knowing what's on my mind at any given moment. I answered my Wife honestly." I need about 30% of my mana, I'm currently at around 10% I need to Meditate still. Otherwise, we'll lose the rest of the daylight and have to do all of this work in the night."" There's another way to restore your mana, My Love. Anna and I can both help you."" Will you both be safe?" I asked the only real question that mattered about this method.

Sarah and Anna nodded to my question." Okay, I'm all ears. What do I have to do?" Sarah smiled a familiar smile at me. I know it well. It's the look she has on her face after we get out of the bath at night." You don't have to do anything, just relax and let Anna and I do all of the work!" Sarah smiled happily as she and Anna approached me. They both stood in front of me and Sarah began to speak to me." Just close your eyes and relax. We just need to kiss you and we can transfer our mana into you.

We should be able to get you to around 50% of your capacity." I squinted a little at her words." Sarah, why is it that I've never heard of this way of refilling mana before?" Sarah had an all-knowing smile on her face as she answered my question." Because, this is a very private and delicate process. Usually, it's only done by people with King and Queen Job Classes. Because the Mana Control it takes is astounding.

However, because of our Jobs, Anna and I learned how to use this during our Lady Studies with my Mother. We learned it for such an occasion as this one. In her own words, my Mother said "The true Worth of a Wife is in the moments that her Husband needs her most! You should always prepare to Support your Husband through any hardship!" Now, without further ado, I'll be digging in!" GRIP!" Hang o----" KISS! FILL! Before I could even finish my thoughts, Sarah sealed my lips with a deep, heavy kiss.

I began to feel her mana enter my mouth and begin to melt into my being. It felt warm and heavy, but almost euphoric. Like being submerged in hot spring water at the perfect temperature. And then she pushed her tongue in. After around a minute, Sarah released me." Why do I feel like you had another reason you wanted to do that?" I spoke to Sarah while catching my breath. Sarah smiled at my words and responded." Well, we do have to mark our territory in front of all of these strangers, My Love."

Sarah backed away and let Anna come forward. It seems she's been energized by Sarah's behavior. Seems she wants to mark her territory as well. KISS! FILL! Anna at least, didn't use her tongue like a certain somebody. Regardless, I felt Anna's mana soak into me. It was like being filled with a cool spring breeze with the sun beating down on me. Quite pleasant if I'm being honest. When Anna separated from my lips slowly, she seemed to be disappointed with it.

I whispered to her before she fully separated from my body." Don't worry, we can do more later tonight." I winked at her and saw her flash a quick smile along with a small blush painted on her cheeks. Once she fully separated from me, I began to feel how much of my mana had been restored. I have about 55% if I were to put a number on it. More than enough to get back home. I should be able to heal a few people after I talk to everyone as well." Sarah, Anna. Thank you both for that.

I should be able to get everything done now."" You're most welcome, My Love. Be sure to reward us accordingly later. However, I must stress that Anna and I have little mana left, so please only do what is needed from now on. Though the idea of you caring for us due to Mana Exhaustion is tempting..."" The pleasure was all mine!" Sarah and Anna were both smiling, Sarah seemed to be thinking about what's to come after I speak to everyone and of what could be, but won't happen.

And Anna was still hung up on what I told her and seemed to ignore Sarah's idea. Seems what Sarah said also increased her excitement. While thinking of what to do next, I heard a voice behind me." Lord Matthew, we've finished doing what you've asked."" Have you done a count for how many were lost? Do you have a count on how many are injured?" Emily was the one who spoke to me. my response was a question I had on my mind for a while. She seemed to be flustered by my questions. This all must be overwhelming for her."

Emily, sorry. Take your time and breathe. Answering my questions can come second, after you calm yourself. Sorry for that, my brain has been going 100 miles an hour for the past few hours."" No! It's fine! It's just...." Emily tried to speak but seemed to have lost the words she wanted to say. She seemed to take my advice though and began to take deep calming breaths. After a minute of calming down, her eyes looked more focused than before. I waited for her to speak." We lost... 23 people...

134 were injured by the explosions. We've been able to administer first aid. And we brought them here like you asked."" How many are able to walk on their own?"" Around 86 I think."" Okay, because of some good luck and my Wives support, I'll be able to heal the gravely injured. Then we can get out of here and go to Paradise. I'll heal the less injured a bit later, after I've been able to regain some mana. But no one should go to bed tonight in pain at the very least."" Really!"

Emily looked extremely happy at my news. She happily guided me to the badly injured. Seems they put them in one group so it would be easy to grab them if they were all in one place. After a few Spells, I then moved back to where Sarah and Anna were." So, they're your wives?" Emily asked, making small talk as we made our way back to Sarah and Anna." Yes, they are. Moreso than that. Sarah, the one with white hair, her maiden name is Dreadnaught, in other words, she's the Eldest Princess of Diablos.""

A Human Married the 1st Princess of Diablos!?" I answered Emily's questions for me after confirming who Sarah was. We arrived in front of my Wives while the sun was setting." Okay, I'll get started over here." What are you going to do?" Wendy asked a question. I smiled at her question." First, I need to do this!" A burst of black light appeared from beside me. From the light, a small figure appeared. It was Paula." Wow, that's a lot of Humans!" Paula was surprised by her surroundings." Wow!

You're a Summoner, Matthew!?" I nodded to Wendy's excited question. Paula looked at me and I began to speak to her." Do you mind helping me, Paula?"" Not at all! Here, I'll get started!" I felt my mana begin to drain and a Portal the size of a movie theater screen opened behind me." Perfect! Thank you, Paula!" Paula smiled at me as I thanked her. I delivered instructions to Emily and the rest of the Humans. We began walking through the Portal with Sarah, Anna and I in the front and the Demons behind us.

Behind the Demons, the Humans followed through the Portal.
