"But, in that case, at least let me be my mother's bodyguard!" Camilla said.
"Huh? Why not me as the guard?"
"Isn't it obvious who is more suitable to be a guard, a magician or a warrior? My stupid sister is too much."
"You..."
"Ah, I've thought about this before." Aya interrupted the sisters' quarrel.
"If one person is responsible for protecting me and the other is responsible for looking after the house and handling matters in the village, I also hope to have a professional specialist who is responsible for collecting intelligence from other places."
Aya tilted her neck and said, "Besides that, I also want to test the effect of this item to see if it can provide enough vitality for me to activate the [Sea of Life] without the need for a man."
A ring appeared on Aya's fair and slender finger. It was a ring engraved with three shooting stars. It was a powerful item that could be used to perform the super-level magic [Wish upon the Stars] three times for free.
Pleia and Camilla swallowed at the same time, and a bad feeling arose.
"So, do you want your mother to give birth to a younger sister for you?" Aya gave a motherly smile that suited her status.
"Sister, huh?" A slightly lonely expression flashed across Camilla and Pleia's faces, but they immediately returned to their normal expressions.
'If I had more sisters, my share of my mother's love would become smaller. I suddenly felt lonely.'
However, if it was the mother's wish, they had no reason not to support it. Moreover, as the mother said, this was indeed the best solution to the problem of insufficient manpower they were facing now.
Adjusting their mindset, they accepted the appearance of a new sister and the possibility of more sisters in the future.
Even if there were more competitors, there were ways to improve their status in their mother's heart. If they thought this way, it seemed easier to accept it.
Taking a deep breath, Camilla shifted her gaze to the ring in Aya's hand.
"This ring is a rare item that can activate the super-level magic [Wish Upon a Star] three times without consuming any experience points. It's the Shooting Star Ring." Aya noticed the gaze from her daughters and continued to explain.
Of course, Aya didn't actually know how rare this ring was, because although she had also learned the super-level magic [Wish upon a Star], when this meteor ring was released, she had already quit the game and was sleeping in the cryostat.
So this ring was actually drawn by a hired booster using her account. She had three similar meteor rings in her inventory, and none of them had been used yet.
If Aya knew that this was the Gachapon item that Momonga had to gamble his year-end bonus to get, she would probably have a better understanding of the value of this thing.
However, Aya still had some understanding of the super-level magic contained in it, [Wish upon a Star]. It was a magic that consumed more experience points, and the more random wishes would appear.
That is to say, if 50% of the experience is consumed, five will appear, and if 100% of the experience is consumed, ten will appear.
There seem to be a lot of possible wish options. According to rough statistics from the guide website, there should be more than two hundred, and the probability of different wishes appearing varies greatly.
In other words, this is a horrible magic that may cause a large amount of experience points to be wasted. It is a toy for Europeans and a nightmare for Africans.
The super-level magic [Wish Upon a Star] that is activated using the ring seems to be more likely to produce high-quality effects, and the maximum number of options that can appear is ten. It does not take time to activate, and it is a super-powerful krypton gold item that made Aya fall in love with it at first sight when she checked her equipment.
Using such an item to activate the special skill [Sea of Life] also has a hint of gambling involved. Aya would of course find it a pity, but there was nothing she could do about it.
[Sea of Life] is a very unique and powerful summoning skill. The attribute values of the monsters summoned by this skill far exceed those of the same level summoned by ordinary summoning or mercenary scrolls.
If we really compare them, it can be said that at the same level, they are almost comparable to NPCs that are created by consuming guild levels.
However, the more powerful the skill, the greater the restrictions and costs. The first and biggest limitation of [Sea of Life] is that it requires the cooperation of a male character when it is activated, and it will consume the experience points of the lowest level one and the highest level five, and it is based on the benchmark of level 100.
That is to say, the opponent will drop to level 95 at most, and a long-term debuff will be added.
In the gaming era, although it is not particularly easy, it is not particularly difficult to reach level 100 from level 95. Aya even had a large number of high-level trumpets that were specifically responsible for providing experience.
But in this world, everything is different.
Let alone level 95, Aya could now basically judge that the strongest opponent she had met was no more than level 50, which could not even provide a fraction of the experience required for the [Sea of Life].
If you really want to draw enough experience points, perhaps it can also be understood as vitality. Now you don't even know if it's enough to draw all the men in a country.
Camilla and Pleia relied on the vitality stored in the [Blood Pool] of the [Temple of Life], plus the supplement provided by the werewolves, and twins were born by chance. It can be said to be a rare miracle.
But now, the life force in the blood pool has been consumed, and the progress of natural accumulation may have to be calculated in months or years.
However, the shortage of staff is already at hand.
Aya stared at the ring.
The two wishes she wanted to fulfill were to 'exempt all costs of a summon' or 'provide a large amount of experience points', which were the two most direct and effective wishes.
To be honest, she didn't know whether she could use this super-level magic to activate the [Sea of Life], so she couldn't help feeling very nervous.
"Shooting Star Ring, listen to my wish (I WISH)!"
She was so nervous that she shouted out unnecessary lines. Looking at the sparkling, admiring eyes of her two daughters in front of her, Aya felt a little ashamed.
She actually suddenly yelled out some second-year line. Thinking of this, Aya shook her head and drove the random thoughts out of her mind.
If the magic from the gaming era can be used, then this super-level magic can probably be used smoothly too – that's what Aya originally thought.
But nothing happened. No, the magic had indeed been activated, but in a way that Aya had never expected.
With new information filling her head and a strange sense of joy filling her mind, Aya realized that this magic was completely different from the one in YGGDRASIL!
In the game world of the past, you could only choose fixed wishes based on luck, use super-position magic that was more entertaining than practical, and make wishes to the stars.
In this world, magic has become something that can actually fulfill your wishes. Of course, the degree of fulfillment will also be affected by the amount of experience points consumed, but the nature of magic has changed.
Not only that, if the consumption is level 5, 500%, which is the same amount as the absorption limit of [Sea of Life], it can also be transformed into magic that can realize stronger wishes.
If that's the case, maybe it can really be done.
Aya shouted.
"Activate the [Sea of Life] and give birth to my child!"
At this moment, Camilla and Pleia had completely held their breath.
Three seconds later, nothing happened.
Five seconds later, nothing happened.
Ten seconds later...
