The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

Liu helped Wemiya, whose body had recovered somewhat, back to the tent.

"Shirou, are you hungry now? I'll go get you some food."

Liu said, rushing out of the tent.

After Liu left, a figure quietly appeared at the entrance of the tent where Wemiya was. Just as she was about to enter, she saw Liu rushing back.

"Your Highness Riviera, why are you here?"

Liu asked, holding a plate in one hand, looking puzzled.

The training in the tavern was not meaningless. At least Liu can now hold the plate steadily and quickly.

Riviera, who was caught red-handed by Liu at the entrance of the tent, smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing, I just came to see you."

"Really? Thank you for your concern, Your Highness Riviera!"

Liu said, feeling very honored and grateful.

Riviera: "… You're welcome."

Actually, she came here because she suddenly remembered the 【Elven King Ring】she lent to Wemiya.

It's not that she couldn't bear to part with the ring or worried that Wemiya would want to embezzle it, but a strange sense of unease suddenly welled up in her heart.

Of course, besides that, wanting to see how Wemiya's physical condition was, was also part of the reason.

"Your Highness Riviera, please come in. You haven't eaten yet, have you? I brought a lot of things."

Liu said.

Most of the food in the camp was simple food such as dry bread, plus some roasted meat from hunted animals.

Although the taste was average and didn't quite suit the elves' tastes, it was enough to fill their stomachs and replenish energy.

After entering the tent, Riviera saw Wemiya sitting on the hammock.

Her gaze subconsciously fell on the boy's lips.

At that time, because the situation was urgent and she was in the most intense emotions, she did such a thing on impulse.

What was the touch like at that time… Riviera tried hard to recall, but felt her brain go blank.

Liu asked suspiciously: "Your Highness Riviera?"

"Ah? Oh…"

Riviera came back to her senses: "I'm fine."

"Shirou, how do you feel?"

She asked.

"I feel much better after the treatment. I also drank the Panacea. I should be fine tomorrow," Wemiya said: "Thank you for your concern, Sister Riviera."

Liu: "Riviera… Sister?"

Something feels a bit off… Doesn't Shirou know Your Highness Riviera's age, Liu thought.

Liu thought: "No, I have to remind Shirou later that it's not appropriate to call Your Highness Riviera that!"

"Oh right, Sister Riviera, your ring."

Wemiya said, raising his left hand and trying to take off the ring on his middle finger.

However, he couldn't take it off.

Chapter 154 Immortal Blessing.

Wemiya pinched the ring on his hand, trying to take it off, but no matter how hard he tried, the ring didn't budge.

At first, he thought it was because the ring was too tight to take off, but as time went on, he gradually felt that something was wrong.

There was no feeling of his finger being tightly pressed, and there was no sense of "stuck" or "unable to push" resistance even when he used force.

If he had to describe it, the ring seemed to be spatially fixed to his finger, rather than physically tight.

Noticing Wemiya's expression change from initial calmness to confusion, and finally to silence, Riviera and Liu also felt the abnormality.

"Shirou, what's wrong?"

Riviera asked.

"I can't take off the ring."

Wemiya raised his head and said helplessly: "No matter how I try, I can't take off this ring."

"Is it because it's too tight?"

Riviera's expression also became uneasy, her tone filled with doubt.

In fact, she already had a faint answer in her heart, but she didn't want to believe it.

"Why don't you try it, Sister Riviera?"

Wemiya raised his hand helplessly.

Riviera hesitated for a moment, then reached out her hands and gently held Wemiya's left hand.

"… Something feels a bit wrong."

Looking at this scene, Liu muttered to herself.

No way, this is Your Highness Riviera, not that nymphomaniac elf Aricia, nothing should go wrong, right…

Right?

Riviera pinched the ring with her hand, tried for a moment, and then let go.

She shook her head: "Indeed, it can't be taken off."

Liu also stepped forward to try, but the result was no different. The ring remained as solid as a rock.

"Cursed equipment?"

They both had this thought at the same time.

Cursed equipment, as the name suggests, is equipment with curse effects. This curse is often not on the enemy, but on the user.

They are usually used to exchange for powerful power, or traps specially designed to harm others.

The characteristic of "unable to remove equipment" is a kind of curse.

However, a curse is also a kind of magic. If it was really a curse, Riviera would never be unaware.

Moreover, she has used this ring for many years, from leaving home to now, and has never encountered a situation where it could not be taken off.

Taking a step back, it would be too outrageous for the heirloom of the Elven Royal Family to be cursed equipment.

"Sister Riviera, what should we do?"

Wemiya asked, looking helpless.

"First of all, Shirou, do you feel anything unusual in your body, such as the ring absorbing your life force or mental power?"

Riviera asked seriously.

"I don't feel anything like that," Wemiya replied, "On the contrary, this ring seems to have accelerated my mental recovery."

"It seems we have to ask the senior for advice."

Riviera said helplessly.

"Your Highness Riviera, don't you know? This is the heirloom of the royal family."

Freyana said, with an obvious smile of pleasure on her lips.

"… Senior, please enlighten us."

Riviera sighed.

Indeed, this is the heirloom of the royal family. However, there are countless treasures in the Elven Royal Court, how could she possibly remember each one by heart?

When she ran away from home, she just casually picked a few things that were easy to carry. She only knew that this ring was called "Elven King Ring"—it sounded very powerful, but at the time it was just an object gathering dust in the corner of the Royal Court's treasure house.

Moreover, there was no special effect after wearing the ring.

It only slightly increased the recovery speed of magic and mental power, which was completely better than nothing for Riviera.

It was Freyana who told her that if she lent this "Elven King Ring" to Wemiya, perhaps Riviera's 【Fairy King Crest】would also have an effect on him.

Because of this, Riviera decided to hand the ring over to Wemiya.

Riviera looked at Freyana and asked: "What is the secret of this ring?"

Freyana raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "This involves some royal secrets."

She said casually, glancing at Liu on the side.

Riviera understood: "Let's go out and talk! Liu, you stay here first."

Liu was stunned for a moment. Although her intuition told her that something was wrong, out of trust for the princess, she nodded slightly and obeyed Riviera's request.

After leaving the tent, Freyana smiled and said in a meaningful tone: "This ring carries the blessings of the immortals."

"Blessings?"

Riviera frowned slightly.

"Yes, the blessing of the immortals—in a sense, the opposite side of the same coin as a curse."

"It will bring protection, and it may also bind the user like a curse."

Riviera's mood became heavier and heavier: "Please continue."

Freyana seemed to be enjoying herself, and she娓娓道来: "Thousands of years ago, a highly respected prince of the elves fell in love with a human woman. At that time, the elves were extremely xenophobic—even more xenophobic than they are now, and the people were extremely dissatisfied with this relationship."

"However, the queen, who possessed various virtues such as kindness, bravery, and strength… received the blessings of the immortals. She therefore obtained the same magical talent as the elves, and that ring is the queen's relic."

"So, although it's called 'Elven King Ring', it's actually a ring specifically for humans to use."

Riviera's face became extremely bad: "Are you saying that I gave such a ring with special meaning to Shirou? ! ! !"

"Obviously, yes."

Freyana nodded.

Riviera: "… Senior, you knew about this a long time ago, didn't you?"

Freyana said very innocently: "Yes, but I always thought you knew it too, you are a member of the royal family."

Riviera was speechless, she couldn't refute Freyana's statement.

She couldn't help clenching her fists and taking a deep breath: "Then now, no matter what the blessing of the immortals is, how do we take it off?"

"First of all, you have to解除the blessing, but that's not easy."

Freyana said:

"You probably have to take Wemiya back to the Alf Royal Forest to find those immortals. They may have a way, but…"

Freyana didn't continue to say anything, and Riviera fell silent after hearing this method.

She couldn't help but think of that scene in her mind: the elven princess who had left the High Alf Royal Forest for a long time, returned to the elves' holy land decades later, arm in arm with a human male.

Moreover, the other party was wearing a ring that once belonged to the elven king. That scene… She really didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be.

In the end, she sighed and said helplessly: "Forget it… Just give the ring to Shirou."

Riviera secretly made up her mind—she never planned to return to the Elven Forest again.

Because if her father, the current ruler of the Alf Royal Forest, King Raphael, asked her where the ring went… Riviera really didn't know how to answer.

Chapter 155 Recuperation Trip.

Early the next morning, after a night's rest, except for Wemiya, the first-level adventurers had almost recovered.

The physiques of high-level adventurers are extremely powerful. Heding, who looked as pale as gold yesterday and seemed unable to stand, has returned to normal today after being slightly treated with healing magic and Panacea, plus a night's rest.
