Chapter 92 Seven years in a hurry! Ian's strength has grown by leaps and bounds, reaching the 'Shield' level!
A few days later.
"Ah~"
"Finally here, what I have dreamed of, next to the blue sea..."
"But it is a brand new city that will never be disturbed by Gildas again~"
Cornelia was wearing a white dress, standing under the scorching sun, looking at the sunny and peaceful new city in front of her, showing a happy expression.
However, this smile only faded away!
After leaving Gildas, the first enemy Cornelia faced was to find a good job and support herself and the child in her belly!
"Look! Gildas..."
"Even if I leave you, I can still live well."
Cornelia gritted her silver teeth, her eyes extremely determined.
Cornelia doesn’t believe it anymore...
You cannot give birth to a child and raise it properly by yourself.
Ever since, in the next week, Cornelia was like a chicken blood, wandering among countless jobs.
"Hey! Can't you even wash the dishes?!"
"If you break another plate, get out!"
"Our shop is a small one and we can't afford a young lady like you!!"
The first job Cornelia chose was as a dishwasher in a hotel.
It was a pity that Cornelia's fair hands, with fingers free of spring water, had never washed dishes. For the first time, she discovered that washing dishes was so troublesome. In the end, she broke more than a dozen ceramics in a row. Wan, was eventually fired by the store manager.
"Huh?! Are you the only one who still wants to be a craftsman?!"
"Hahaha! Stop joking..."
"Can a young lady like you afford tools?"
"It's better to go home to your parents!"
"By the way, wait until I say hello to the master and his wife~"
"If necessary, you can call me to work at any time..."
Cornelia's second choice of job was that of a carpenter. Unfortunately, she was rejected by the head craftsman during the interview, and was criticized by the carpenters...
Of course, these carpenters didn't dare to go too far when they saw Cornelia's expensive clothes. In such troubled times, "sight" is an important ability for workers to gain a foothold in this world.
"The express delivery is already full..."
"Having said that, in addition to express delivery, if you want to find a job in this city such as delivering things, the first rigid indicator is that you can flexibly use a magic four-wheel drive."
After the courier team under the Magic Council discovered that Cornelia could not operate a magic four-wheel drive, they found an excuse and carefully rejected Cornelia. Their attitude was particularly good, and they even teased Cornelia. None of that happened to Nelia.
These couriers under the Council, all over the continent of Ishgar, have even sharper eyesight. They can see that the clothes Cornelia is wearing are not only expensive, but also a piece of magic. Props have the ability to protect oneself...
This is not just something you can get if you have money.
Ever since, Cornelia lost the election once again.
The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny...
After Cornelia really left Gildas, she discovered that this world was completely different from what she had imagined. This world was very cruel, and no one would let her.
At the same time, Cornelia also discovered that she really couldn't do anything by herself.
“Is it so hard to find a job?!”
"But I will never give up..."
"Just watch carefully, Gildarts! I will never admit defeat."
Cornelia sat in the rental house and kept thinking.
In fact, when Gildas learned that Cornelia had decided to leave him and could no longer be undone, for the sake of Cornelia's future life, he gave Cornelia a large sum of money. Money has been most of Kildas' income over the years.
This money is enough for Cornelia to live well in any city in the Kingdom of Fiore. After all, the savings of a 'Holy Ten' level expert are quite considerable!
Although this 'Holy Ten' level powerhouse is a bit out of place and has a lot of debts.
But Cornelia has no intention of using the money Gildas gave her.
Whether it was because she was competing with Gildarts, or because she had a stronger self-esteem, she wanted to rely on her own hands to gain a foothold in this small town.
As for the money Kildas gave her, she will transfer it all to her and Kildas's child after he reaches adulthood...
And said to the child: "Look, these are the inheritance left to you by your father who was idle all day long and died of excessive alcoholism in the early years."
"It hurts! It hurts!"
Just as Cornelia clenched her fists...
The moment when he decided to fight Gildarts to the end.
A certain scumbag king was lying on the hospital bed and howling incessantly.
"Of course! If I had the love of the nurses and sisters, I wouldn't be in pain~"
The Scumbag King had no idea that he was about to become a father for the first time. He looked at the nurses who were walking around in the ward with beautiful appearance and good figure, and said with a smile.
"Bah! My whole body is shattered and fractured, and you are still not honest..."
In this regard, the Scumbag King attracted the eyes of all the nurses.
Gildarts' reputation in the entire town of Magnolia is completely bad. Even if he wants to be a scumbag, everyone will never give him any chance...
Now the adults in the town of Magnolia are telling their daughters: "Beware of fire! Beware of theft! Beware of Gildarts!"
"Alas..."
"I wonder how Cornelia is doing now?!"
"Wow! I miss you so much..."
Gildarts, the scum king, looked up at the sky. His eyes were full of longing for his wife, Cornelia. It was just Gildarts' eyes that kept glancing at the little girl next to him.
Well, this guy is really hopeless...
On the other side, Cornelia is running around the city, constantly looking for work.
"Sorry, you are not qualified for this job!"
"Sorry, I can't offer you this job..."
"Beauty! Do you want to come to our store to be a girl?"
"Your appearance is really suitable!"
"A lot of bosses like what you do!"
"Sorry, I am not qualified for your job."
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
Cornelia walked around the entire town and visited every job recruitment position, but she could not find any job that allowed her to stay.
As for the jobs that came to her, without exception, they all required consuming her beauty. In Cornelia's opinion, this was something that she, a lady, was completely incompetent for.
Not to mention those sideline jobs that require selling meat, even simply accompanying people with drinks is a serious issue for Cornelia...
She was completely indifferent to alcohol and couldn't drink it at all!
Besides, she is pregnant now, how can she drink? !
"A whole month has passed."
"But I'm still stuck in the rental house and can't extricate myself!"
"What can we do?!"
Under the successive blows, Cornelia no longer had the confidence she had at the beginning. She seemed a little anxious. In the deserted room, she kept grabbing her long brown hair and howling one after another. voice, with a look of despair.
"Woooo..."
Just when Cornelia was restless and at a loss, she suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen.
This made Cornelia's expression change slightly, and she made up her mind once again.
"I will never admit defeat."
"Even if it's for my children..."
Cornelia stood up, went to the bathroom, washed her cheeks with cold water, and cheered up to set off again.
As the saying goes, being a mother means being strong!
Cornelia didn't believe that she couldn't find a suitable job.
other side.
Gildarts, who had been lying in the hospital for a month, finally came back to life with full blood. After recovering from his injuries, he immediately embarked on a journey to find Cornelia.
Although it is completely impossible to find someone in the Kingdom of Fiore, which is as big as Australia, Gildarts will never give up...
At the same time, Gildas kept an eye on Cornelia. She didn't have much cash on her. As long as Cornelia used the magic bank card he left behind, he could lock Cornelia from the bank of the Senate to Cornelia. Nelia's location.
"Cornelia, don't worry, I'm coming to find you~"
Gildarts was in a very bright mood, not least because his strength was not what it used to be, and he had finally reached the level of 'King of Heaven'! What's more, after he was beaten by Ian, he finally figured out that he was going to get his woman back.
After that, three months passed.
Gildarts couldn't find any trace of Cornelia at all. He sat in the depths of the Fairy Tail Guild bar with a despairing look on his face, drinking heavily and muttering to himself: "Impossible! I've already taken Cornelia. , I told you before that I have visited all the cities that I wanted to travel with! How is it possible that there is no trace of Cornelia! Even if Cornelia is not found, it has been three months. Time, her money should have been spent long ago, how could she not use my card? This is so abnormal, shouldn’t it be like this?”
"Hey! Cheer up, Gildarts!"
Makarov looked at Gildarts who looked desperate and said helplessly.
"President! Did I really do something wrong?"
Gildas looked at Makarov and kept asking.
"I think even if Cornelia is here, she doesn't want to see you so decadent, right?"
Makarov glared at Gildarts and spoke bitterly.
"You're right! I want to cheer up..."
After Gildas drank all the wine in his glass, he took on a few carefully selected S-class missions and set out again. Well, if he doesn't go on a mission, he won't be able to pay back the debt and won't be able to survive in the town of Magnolia.
other side.
"Huh..."
"Today's work is finally over."
Cornelia gently wiped the sweat from her forehead and changed out of her work clothes.
With Cornelia's unremitting efforts, perhaps because her hard work paid off, or for some other reason, she finally found a job as a flower arranger in the town.
Although the salary is not very high...
But it was enough for her to survive alone in this town.
"Woooo..."
However, as time goes by...
The pain in Cornelia's lower abdomen became more and more obvious, and she could feel that a little life was growing in her belly.
"It's okay for me to be alone now!"
"But after the child is born, the funds required will increase exponentially. What should I do then?!"
Cornelia fell into deep thought. It seemed to her that this flower arrangement job was not a long-term solution. "If it doesn't work, I can only find another part-time job..."
"But if I want to train this child properly, I need more money."
"If one part-time job doesn't work! Find two part-time jobs!"
"I, Cornelia, have never been weaker than anyone else in my life."
Cornelia has to say that she is really a very strong woman.
Of course, if Cornelia was not strong, she would not have been able to pull up Kanna in the original work by herself until her body was exhausted and she collapsed completely...
Just when Cornelia held her head high, her eyes flashing with perseverance, and decided to fight to the end for her beliefs, a hoarse voice suddenly came into her ears: "Miss, I have a job here, no. Do you want to think about it? ”
"Sorry! I already found a job..."
When Cornelia heard this, there was a trace of anger in her eyebrows. She didn't even bother to raise her head and rejected the other party. It seemed that in Cornelia's view, any job that would take the initiative to find her was not a good one. Work! In this world, there is absolutely no such thing as pie in the sky.
"Really? That's really a pity..."
"It seems that my job as a librarian, with a monthly salary of 150,000 J, can only be left to others."
Hearing this, the man sighed helplessly, turned around silently, and acted as if he was planning to leave.
"Sorry! Old gentleman, I was too abrupt just now!"
"Please allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Cornelia Arupelona. I am twenty-three years old! My biggest hobby in life is reading..."
"Please give me the job of librarian."
Cornelia, who was originally planning to leave, suddenly came to the 'old man' with a hoarse voice and an old face, and spoke excitedly.
"Haha..." Hearing this, the old man smiled softly, like an NPC issuing a task, and gave the job to Cornelia, who looked exactly like Kana: "Because you like reading so much, I I’ll leave this librarian job to you. Let’s report to the biggest library in town tomorrow! Work hard, I’m very optimistic about you!”
"I got it! Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Cornelia looked at the old man walking away and bowed deeply.
"Next..."
"That's almost it."
Seeing that he had finally assigned the work to Cornelia, the old man slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Well, the old man who appeared in time was none other than Ian...
In fact, it has been three months since Ian came to Cornelia's town. During this period, he has been secretly protecting Cornelia's safety...
At the same time, Ian also checked Cornelia's body. He found that Cornelia was in good condition except for some loss of energy and blood.
In the original novel, the reason for Cornelia's untimely death was most likely due to Cornelia's inner depression and fatigue.
After all, in this world of jungle, it is not easy for a beautiful young woman to raise a child, let alone raise a child well? !
To this end, Ian spent three months building the largest library in town...
He disguised himself as an old man and gave Cornelia an easy job that did not require any energy through a chance encounter.
Well, Ian thought that he did it perfectly and Cornelia couldn't find any loopholes.
"The next step is to retreat."
In addition to leaving behind a missing body and paying wages to Cornelia on a regular basis, Ian's true self has arrived in the forest outside the town...
Next, there is only one thing Ian has to do...
That is the realm of going all out to sprint towards the ‘Twelve Shields of the Saint Protector’!
Yes, Ian wants to stabilize his normal state at the level of 'twelve shields'.
In this case, when Ian turns on the dragon power mode, he will gain powerful power that surpasses the 'Twelve Shields'!
Of course, there is still a huge gap between the realm of 'Saint Protector'.
As we all know, among the so-called Twelve Shields of the Saint.
‘Scarlet Despair’ Irene Berserion and ‘Magic King’ Olgast were responsible for protecting the saints, while the remaining ten were responsible for squatting in front as shields.
Well, the difference between the other Twelve Shields and Irene and Olgast is really too big. It is not an exaggeration to say that the gap is between ants and humans.
If I insist on giving a reference data...
In the Hundred Years' Quest, the Black Dragon Slayer Riders of the Dragon Eater Guild are probably on the same level as the Twelve Shields of the Saints in terms of strength and magic power...
Among them, the White Tiger Dragon was defeated by Wendy under the guidance of Irene, and the gap between Wendy and Irene at that time was more than a hundred times.
As for the dragon-slayer mage who had irreversibly transformed into a half-dragon and had full dragon power, Irene used Wendy's magic power to kill him.
What Ian has to do is to shorten the gap between him, Erin and Selene, and he wants to revive his husband! He wants to show off his majesty!
Well, let’s not talk about it anymore. If I talk too much, I will shed tears.
Ever since.
Time flies...
Seven years passed by in a flash.
Time comes to year X772.
Ian, who was in seclusion, came to a critical moment...
He has already half-stepped into the level of the 'Twelve Shields of the Saint'.
Just when Ian was about to go all out and raise his magic power to the 'shield level', his missing body suddenly issued a warning.
"Warning! Warning!"
"Cornelia's low vital signs were detected..."
"Please come and observe immediately."
Along with the noises one after another, Ian was so annoyed that he had to quit the retreat and came to his library.
"What happened?"
Ian wore a clown mask and came to the library. He asked the old man about the book he had made using the magic of his thoughts body and adding magic to his personality.
Yes, in order to prevent himself from being distracted while sprinting to the 'Shield Level', Ian released the memory and perspective sharing between himself and the missing body. He completely handed over Cornelia, who has the S level of the general guild. A magician-level remembrance body will be taken care of.
"Ontology..."
"See for yourself!"
The old man with the book seemed to have lost his mind. He shared his memory with Ian.
In an instant, countless images flashed before Ian's eyes.
It turns out...
Ian's missing body, after recruiting Cornelia into the library.
In order to be worthy of this high-paying job, Cornelia quit her original job and devoted herself to managing the library for Ian. Not only did she memorize the name of every book in the library, Afterwards, these books were numbered and cataloged, making it easier for people entering the library to purchase and browse.
With Cornelia's hard work, the library was getting better and better and busier, but eventually Cornelia collapsed.
"Are you kidding?!"
Ian is about to collapse. Cornelia is indeed worthy of this library, but is she worthy of Ian who is willing to travel through time to save her? !
If Cornelia dies again, wouldn't Ian's journey be in vain? ! You know, the simulation of the system is irreversible!
"Let me see..."
A frustrated Ian walked directly into the room where Cornelia was recovering.
At this moment, in this room filled with sunflowers, Cornelia looked weak and pulled Kana, who was already six or seven years old and dressed like a doll, with her little hand, and whispered softly: "Go to Fairy Tail." Guild, your father is there! His name is Gildarts."
Seven years have passed, and Cornelia no longer hates Gildarts. Instead, she understands why Gildarts always abandoned her at critical moments!
Working and making money are really not easy.
After Cornelia finished speaking, she closed her eyes to herself, as if she was about to return home.
"Mother!"
In response, little Kana's eyes flashed with tears. She could not accept that her mother, who had all the good things in the world, died like this.
"Don't die!"
Don’t wait for little Kanna to think about it...
Ian had turned into an afterimage, and in an instant he rushed to Cornelia, who was in a state of confusion and would die at any time, and said loudly: "Additional energy! Additional physical strength! Additional vitality ! ”
"Hmm~"
Following Ian's three additional strikes, Cornelia, who had already fainted, suddenly let out a cry from her mouth. Her whole body felt like she was coming back to life, and her body was full of vitality.
"What am I?!"
Cornelia looked puzzled. She clearly felt that her end was approaching, so why was everything fine? !
"Let me see what disease you have?!"
"That's it. No wonder you fell down. It was stomach cancer..."
"Although the gastrointestinal tumor has reached an advanced stage, I can still treat it!"
"After all, this is a magical world~"
Ian used the medical knowledge he gained from Poriusica to determine Cornelia's disease in less than half an hour.
In this regard, Ian directly used high-level separation magic: "Separation·Tumor!"
In just a few seconds, Ian killed all the tumor cells in Cornelia's body.
"My mother is dead..."
"...Mother is alive!"
Kanna was stunned.
Although little Kana couldn't understand it, she was greatly shocked!
"As you can see, I am a doctor..."
"So Cornelia, do you want to become a magister?"
"Do you want to become a scum-killing mage?!"
Ian picked up a chair, sat in the ward, and asked Cornelia.
"Eh?!"
Cornelia is also stunned, so is there any connection between Ian saying he is a doctor and asking her if she wants to become a magister? !
"So, you may not understand..."
"Anyway, do you want to ride Gildarts under you?!"
Ian looked at Cornelia who was in a daze and asked a different question.
"Please make me a magister."
Although Cornelia couldn't understand what Ian said.
But when it came to the method of riding Gildarts under her, she reacted instantly and spoke seriously.
"I'll help you!"
Ian smiled happily.
First update, a 6,000-word chapter! Sorry, everyone, I overslept. This chapter is really too late.
