BXBX NOVEL Chapter 193: It Has a Cost
With that, he gently picked up the pixie on his shoulder and then placed it on the closed metal crate beside him.
"Little lady, everyone knows that pixies excel in aerial magic, and if this is true for your tribe, we will ask for your help. It will not be a problem for you to stay here," James suddenly said, and with those words, the leader of the pixies smiled and introduced himself:
"Forgive my rudeness, I am a fairy queen, we pixies have no names. Nice to meet you, we will work hard and pay you back." said the pixie who introduced herself as the queen.
After these words, when James was about to speak, the pixie queen flew from where she was and then whispered something in James\'s ear.
James shook his head when he heard these words and then turned to Dandelion and said, "It seems that they are a little afraid of half-demons."
Dandelion was about to explain how they shouldn\'t be afraid when one of the demi-demons next to him suddenly shouted:
"HOW CAN THEY BE AFRAID OF US? WE ARE THE KINDEST CREATURES!"
With that shout, over two hundred pixies flew behind the little dragon Miracle and the pixie queen stood behind James and looked at the demi-demons.
"IDIOT!" shouted Dendalion and slapped her sidekick on the head quite hard.
As the half-devil fell to the ground, Dandelion gently walked towards the pixie queen and said, "I don\'t know why you are afraid of us, but don\'t worry, I will do my best to protect you."
Hearing these words, the pixie queen came out from behind James and then landed on Dandelion\'s shoulder. The remaining pixies, as if realising that there was no point in hiding after their queen\'s actions, came out from behind Miracle and covered Dandelion.
At that moment, James\' voice was heard.
"Let\'s call you Sophia, that\'s your name."
When James heard these words, the pixie queen and everyone else turned to him and then James said these words:
"She looked like Sophia, so there\'s nothing wrong with her, she should have a name, right?"
[You don\'t even know what you just did, do you?]
James shook his head as he looked at the message from Moros, and then the pixie queen, who had been given the name Sophia, smiled and flew into James\' face and stuck there.
"Master gave me a name!!!" She screamed suddenly.
James, trying to figure out what was going on, somehow pulled Sophia out of his face and then looked at the other message Moros had sent:
[Pixies are in the service of the people who name them, I hope you don\'t call me names when you pass out soon].
James was trying to work out what the message meant when he suddenly felt a huge pain in his head. His nose began to bleed and he felt all the mana in his body being sucked out of him. Even though his aura was trying to keep his body afloat, the sudden loss of mana was taking James to the brink of death.
While Ariel was trying to understand what was happening, just like James, a message appeared in front of her:
[James named a pixie and made it his servant. The pixie she named is a queen, a very powerful being, one of the closest to perfection, one of the purest beings, one might say on the same level as an Archangel, on the side of purity. It takes an enormous amount of mana to name such a force. James is going to faint, get him to safety].
When Ariel read this message, she ran towards James and then started running towards the village, carrying him like a princess.
Ariel herself could feel the mana disappearing from James\' body, Ariel wasn\'t even a mana user, but even her body started to tremble out of fear.
The first thing that surprised him was that James had such a mana reservoir in his body, the second thing that surprised him was how fast it was being depleted.
James was just about to faint, he wasn\'t going to die because of his aura, he would die if his mana continued to dwindle and deplete like this, but the fact that he had both the aura and the magical energy, the magic itself, the mana in his body was what would keep him alive.
Sophia flew as fast as she could and managed to grab onto Ariel\'s shoulder.
Arriving at Narbeth\'s house after a short time, Ariel put James, whom she had carried, on the bed and then began to clean the blood from his nose.
After cleaning the blood from James\'s nose, Ariel reached for her inventory and somehow found the bottle she was looking for in her chaotic inventory, and then opened the cap of the bottle and threw the dust in it on James.
It was a sleeping powder.
James fell asleep in a very short time, almost five seconds later, and the blood stopped flowing from his nose.
Looking back at Sophia, Ariel shook her head and then smiled and said, "You made a big scene, little one." and petted the pixie queen\'s head with her finger.
Sophia looked up at James and seemed upset, clearly not thinking that taking a name would create such a situation.
"I\'m sorry..." Sophia said, and Ariel\'s expression came to life.
"I don\'t think James would be mad at you, he\'s too soft-hearted to do something like that, it\'s surprising that someone with the ability to kill a Fallen God would be like that, but it is what it is. Don\'t worry about it." Ariel said and with that, she saw a message window appear:
[When James wakes up, I want you to smack him upside the head, Ariel.]
Ariel\'s smile widened when she saw this message from Nemesis and then the following words were heard:
"You should feel sorry for your husband\'s suffering, Mistress Nemesis."
