BXBX NOVEL Chapter 124 Chatting Through The Night
Eliza\'s face paled upon hearing that, her memories suddenly travelling back to the last time she spent more than a week inside a dungeon.
Her body shivered uncontrollably as she remembered the death of her former party member. Evan noticed this and frowned before spending the next few minutes trying to convince her that no one was going to die.
Eventually, Evan barely managed to get her back to normal by distracting her with other things.
He took out the magic catalyst he had gotten for her earlier, trying his best not to remember the scene of Xakon using his detonation skill on him and the rest of the MIN Triad causing one to lose his life and the other two to be inactivated.
\'I hope they are okay...\'
He ended up getting depressed himself but held it in and tossed the magic catalyst to Eliza.
It was an artifact that looked just like a large orb, one about twenty centimetres in diameter. It had a ring made of bronze around it with two pieces of a cloth-like material tied to the two edges of the ring.
The artifact was built for support classes and didn\'t require the user to hold it like they did a staff as it floated beside them whenever it was active, allowing the user to also use a magic staff at the same time.
|Radiance of the Everlasting Moon (Radiant Codex)
Type; Magic catalyst.
A catalyst that carries the memory of a string of lovely jasper from the deep sea. It shines with a pure radiance like that of the moon and is just as ever-distant.
Effect;
Healing Bonus is increased by 10%.
All support skills and magic casted with the aid of this catalyst enjoy increased efficiency and power of 50% each. |
It would be able to boost the effectiveness of Eliza\'s already ridiculous healing skills which were also unique series skills.
"Come to think of it, I don\'t know how high your level is now."
"Hmm? I\'m at level 80. Why?"
"Huh?"
Evan was stunned upon hearing her level, he had honestly expected it to be lower as she did not have any sort of experience boost like he did.
The fact that she was at level 80 shows how much she had worked in the past few months to get there.

Upon appraising her, he was shocked to see a few skills he had not seen the last time they met.
\'Come to think of it, I haven\'t appraised her since the fight against Xakon.\'
Evan was unable to use his skills for the month after the fight and when he finally got them back, he had completely forgotten to appraise her.
"Wow...nice stats."
"Did you just use your appraisal?"
"Yeah."
Eliza frowned at Evan upon hearing his answer, the next moment she stomped on his foot and began muttering something about an invasion of privacy while the young hero was moaning in pain.
Pride watched this scene with an annoyed look on her face. Her gaze turned to the window where she saw the dark night sky and the moon slightly obscured by clouds.
Deciding that was late enough, she stood up and left to go to her room.
"Where\'re you going?"
"To sleep. My body is not strong enough to brave dungeons without enough sleep yet."
**SLAM!!
After that, she slammed the door shut, leaving the dumbfounded teenagers in Evan\'s room. The young hero shrugged and turned to Eliza as he asked.
"What about you?"
"I don\'t feel sleepy yet."
"Me neither."
"Of course, you don\'t, you slept halfway throughout the journey."
Evan casually sat down on the bed beside Eliza as she spoke, he placed a hand on his chin and thought about how much he slept on the trip and discovered it was indeed abnormal.
"Well, it was kinda weird. I also kept on having these strange dreams I barely recall anything about."
"That\'s strange for you? As for me, I can\'t remember the last time I recalled what happened in my dreams after I woke up."
"Who\'s the weird one here."
The two kept bantering like that for the next few minutes, their topic of conversation eventually shifting to something else.
Somehow, they had begun telling each other about their lives, with Eliza elaborating on a lot of things that happened when she was a lot younger.
"Wait a sec, you aren\'t the last child?"
"Hmm? Of course not, I\'m the eldest."
Evan\'s jaw dropped upon discovering that Eliza apparently had siblings, and she was the eldest in her family.
"I pity your younger ones."
"Huh? Why?"
The girl titled her head to the side with a questioning look on her face, her long blonde hair falling off her shoulder as she caught a few strands and subconsciously twirled them around her fingers.
Evan was slightly mesmerized for a moment but he managed to collect himself and replied with feigned sadness.
"If you of all people are the eldest, how is life going to be for them?
To think they have to suffer the unfortunate fate of having such an elder sister."
He even added a few sobs in between his words to make his act more impeccable. Of course, Eliza\'s reply was far from positive.
"You damned brat!"
She grabbed the magic catalyst Evan had just given her a few moments ago and ended up nearly pummelling the poor hero to death with his own gift to her.
Evan eventually had to apologize repeatedly before he was spared from death, nevertheless, the young hero didn\'t stop laughing at the sight of Eliza\'s angry pouting face.
"Tsk...I would have said the same for you but you have an older brother."
"Brother? I\'m an only-Oh!"
Evan had unknowingly forgotten about the existence of Arnold Del Eris, Evan Del Eris\' older brother, as evidenced by the fact that he didn\'t even remember the poor boy\'s name.
At least until Eliza told him, that is.
"Laurene told me a bit about you, she ended up telling me about how your dad judged your brother unsuitable to take the position of Duke because he doesn\'t have a certain skill."
"Oh, that."
Evan shook his head in silence as he remembered the reason why the original owner of his body\'s brother lost his position as duke\'s successor.
"Are you guys on good terms?"
"Are we even on \'any\' terms?"
Eliza rose an eyebrow in question to Evan\'s words. The young hero then went on to Elaborate, making the girl realize the meaning behind his words.
"We don\'t talk at all.
Within the last six months, before I left the Duke\'s mansion, I can count the number of times I met him beside family meals on one hand.
He doesn\'t even bother to talk to me at all.
If he hated me or something, then he would at least show it on his face when he sees me, but there\'s nothing.
No love, no hatred, just apathy, like he doesn\'t even care if I exist."
The teenage girl could not imagine being treated that way by her only sibling, after all, she was quite close with her younger ones and they even cried when she announced that she was going to leave home upon turning 14.
She looked at the wry smile Evan had on his face and patted him on his back, earning a look of pure confusion from the young hero.
"Worry not. You guys are blood brothers, he may look like that but he probably cares about you to some extent."
Evan couldn\'t help but chuckle a bit upon hearing her words, he escaped from her hand and pulled her closer to him before patting her head as he would do to a child.
"You\'re a good kid, slightly annoying but a good kid nonetheless.
However, not everything is as it seems. You may think you know someone but it turns out you may not even know anything about them at all.
Even between twins, much less normal blood-related siblings."
The girl was completely lost as to why Evan suddenly started thinking about that while Evan was thinking about what to do in the eventuality that it was revealed he was not the original \'Evan Del Eris\'.
\'Even my status board has changed. If I get appraised, I doubt it\'d show Evan Del Eris. I should have asked Artemisia.\'
Eventually, they two carried on with their conversation, moving on to other topics until they eventually fell asleep side by side.
