BXBX NOVEL Chapter 116 Change (2)
This was the grand house of Heliox.
A house, a mansion of the glorious hero and someone that was known throughout the continent as the [Golden Hammer].
And this door had a peculiar crest of a core divine beast, a bird, a beast, a mixture of those and something known throughout history as one that ruled the winds and earth.
This was a [Griffin].
A creature of a lion\'s body, and an eagle\'s head.
Something that ruled not only the sky but the lands, too.
A creature that was known throughout the world for being something that appeared in times of different causes.
This was a creature that can roam skies, lands, and places that weren\'t to be known to humanity.
A creature that made a partner of a lifetime and then created a home to live a peaceful life.
A creature of power and strength but, the meaning of this crest, this creature that believed in protection more than anything, showed the meaning of the name itself.
The one that all were waiting today, the one that had created a name of her own.
A name separate from this house, or the achievements of her father.
She was the countess of a warm place. Lady Nolen Heliox Von Aster Griffin.
Known by many names, the title of countess that she had received just last year resulted from her achievements.
Result of her longing and selfishness.
All of this was excessive and if looked at from a normal person\'s point of view, the things she had done in the last three years after her return to the capital were greater than anyone had done in decades.
From creating something that defied the common nature of today\'s restorers and making food... food that seemed otherworldly, available for every person in the empire.
That thing that she called \'Food joints\' was something so new to this world, just the idea of such a place being true was unreal.
She did all these things, from stabilizing the falling of her merchant alliance to making it greater than it had ever been in that short time.
She did all these things despite being a mother of a newborn, as well as a mother that had lost someone important to her.
A mother that had lost something most important to her.
She was a mother famous throughout the empire and her son was someone that was written in children\'s storybooks as a hero.
A child that had become a mage at the young age of five years old.
If adults heard this story without proof, they would just brush it off like some patty rumor.
But this wasn\'t something she talked about with words.
She just created places where all can eat something new despite their status.
She made something that was the idea of her beloved son, something her son wanted to be a reality.
Her son, her son that didn\'t even know his origin, had been lost in some place that no one knew about.
All this time, she had held onto the hope in the form of the rare artifact of someone special.
The rings that many lovers had and something that showed if the other had been hurt greatly or if they were... dead.
She held onto this ring all this time and, the one with her through her journey, her husband, and the genius mage that had reached (tier-7) at such a young age shouldered her agony.
They had a cute baby, but not many knew about that little one as they knew little about the family of such a great person.
The noble son that lived by the ideals of the house of [Golden Hammer]… was now lost.
But he didn\'t die in vain.
He protected the family he cherished so much.
He protected them from the bastard demon that had appeared in this empire.
That incident had become the hottest issue and was talked about to this day.
Those vile creatures couldn\'t appear in this empire, but… some did in different areas of the outskirts.
And, one was taken care of by this family that was so unlucky to be in the same place at that same vile time.
Now, things had changed and the person once known as that [Foolish girl] had become [Golden Demoness].
Her dear husband, the well-known [Red-eyed hunter] was granted the title of viscount for his outstanding achievements these past two years in the discovery and exploration of new areas in the wild.
He, as an independent adventurer, was someone that had the greatest future and with the abundant resources he had from his dear wife, he was now closest to becoming the (Tier-8) mage.
That... would be an event that many in this empire would look forward to, as those in (tier-8) had many paths they can choose.
But, this one fool father had done all the things for his lost child.
He even created a magic array formation that can show the condition of soul fragments in the rings, like those with different data.
Desperate situations and desperate parents give birth to things that had gone through unthought of all this time.
The thing he created was the core reason for his title, but he, too, gave all the credit to his lost son.
According to him, his son had shared many things and ideas of magic with him while doing experiments on enchantments.
They did crazy stuff, and from that, he received inspiration for this impressive system.
But building the magic device from the theory and magic arrays alone was the task that was only possible because the one that made it was also a well-known genius of the empire.
The great magic engineer of Heliox.
The successor and genius creator that had been known throughout the lands for his prowess in creating magic equipment.
Though different from artifacts, they were the inferior version to them in working.
So, even he had received the praise of the whole magic engineering community.
These three had done their best but, there was no rumor or sign of them finding this lost one-of-a-kind genius.
But... there was a rumor circulating that the demoness had been in her room more than usual.
And, the thing that made these suspicious was that all the family would gather in the room with this magic device.
Maybe... the son that had been miraculously alive all this time was now...
The doors opened and an alluring figure walked in with a dignified expression as well as eyes that seemed... anxious.
