Nulambart froze as he felt a strong presence radiating from the man in front of him. A dark green aura mixed with emerald green appeared behind, rising 1 meter above Aggro's head.
Nulambart had simply read of her existence in the soul cultivation books in Mayor George's library, so he did not think that mentioning her so lightly was something that would cause such a reaction in Aggro.
"I read about their existence in books from my village. In them, it also appeared that they were within the Elvareth forest," Nulambart answered with complete sincerity, looking directly into Aggro's eyes.
"My village has been sealed from the outside world for several hundred years, so I don't think you could have read it just there," said Aggro, who with a sharp gaze looked towards Nulambart.
Nulambart could not refute this statement to the leader of the tribe, since if they claimed to be sealed from the world for hundreds of years, it is unreasonable to think that the books had such information.
Then he stood blankly looking at Aggi's father, unable to answer him, but looking at him closely, he could see that he was now thinking with his hand on his jaw and his brow furrowed.
"Wai,t boy, answer one thing."
"What is the name of the place where you come from?" Aggro asked seriously.
Nulambart, who had never before heard the name of his village from the villagers themselves, remembered the words he had heard from his parents' conversation that he had previously remembered in the dream.
Wait, that's very possible, that's my village.
"My village is called the village of the alliance, and it is exactly next to the Elvareth forest, which also has its limits on the coast," Nulambart answered more calmly.
Hearing the name of Nulambart village, Aggro simply closed his mouth for the next 30 minutes, sitting on his throne with a frown, without even looking at Nulambart.
Good grief, don't tell me that old village still exists. Aggro thought that, after trying to remember all the events he had in his mind.
Then, he solemnly looked at Nulambart again, but this time he did not look serious or angry, but simply softened his words again, to ask the horrible possibility that had come to mind.
"Do you have any idea about the rise of a sea power called the Stella Kingdom?" asked Aggro, who was looking somewhat anxiously at Nulambart.
Nulambart's heart paused for a moment upon hearing that name, since it was the name of the enemies who had his sister. Aggro could tell that Nulambart's reaction was unnatural upon hearing that name, so he waited for the boy's response.
"Currently my village has been attacked by the Stella Kingdom…", replied Nulambart, who told him all the knowledge that had happened to him previously, both that he had awakened from the mental control he had, as well as that he was currently trying to help everyone in his village to lose said control.
Likewise, he told her about the extremely dangerous situation that his sister Elena was facing because of the perverted prince, as well as the reason why he had decided to come to the forest and help Aggi.
When Aggro finished listening to Nulambart's entire explanation, he simply let out a deep sigh and said unconsciously.
"The legends of our ancestors were true," Aggro said lightly, not looking in any particular direction, bringing both arms together, trying to calm the slight movements of his trembling hands.
"Boy, don't worry about your stay here anymore, since from now on you are an honored guest of my village," Aggro said after effectively managing to calm his arms.
"Now I understand why your village knows the Elvareth Forest… Boy, I will order a guard to take you to the sacred healing place in my village, near the Redemption Waterfall… I will ask my wife to heal your injuries before I tell you about some old legends left by my ancestors," Aggro stated, leaving Nulambart much calmer than before.
Then Aggro sent for one of the guards who was nearby to take Nulambart to the place he had previously mentioned.
Nulambart, for his part, simply decided to follow without speaking the guard who was at his side, guiding him through the incredibly large palace in which he was located.
The emerald green palace showed a charm that made it seem luxurious, but at the same time rustic, since it had many decorations made with wood of different types and colors, but they were manufactured in an exquisite way that seemed to have been carved by a master craftsman.
Nulambart passed through a large windowless hallway in which he could see the enormous waterfall of redemption a few meters from the palace, so he felt his cigars overflowing with energy, while a slight cold air spread through his hair, making it flutter slightly.
This landscape is wonderful. Nulambart couldn't help but think.
"How strange that the water looks so calm," said Nulambart casually, who was looking towards the waterfall that seemed incredibly calm.
"Aren't all waterfalls like that?" asked the guard, who was speaking for the first time.
Of course, not knowing the outside, you simply have no information about other waterfalls to compare. Nulambart knew that the tribe's confinement prevented him from learning about what other waterfalls in the world would look like.
"Well, I haven't seen other waterfalls personally, but from the texts and from what my parents have told me, they shouldn't be as calm as this one," Nulambart answered truthfully.
"Then I guess ours is unique," the guard said proudly.
The next moment, Nulambart could see a large white glass dome, probably around 100 meters where you could see a small pond on one of the sides of this dome.
That pond had as its source none other than the Redemption Waterfall itself, which had a small tributary to the pond. The most curious thing was that the water in the pond did not overflow and always remained at the same level, in an extremely calm manner.
After looking at said pond, he smelled the smell of aromatic herbs through his nose, feeling that his mind calmed down just by being in that place.
Finally, after doing that, he saw that the room inside the dome had 3 white stretchers and a series of interesting equipment that was used to cure the sick.
"Wait here a moment, Mrs. Aggar is on her way," said the guard, who simply left Nulambart in the healing area, completely alone.
Seriously, they all have practically the same name. Nulambart couldn't help but think.
Once alone, Nulambart waited standing there for 5 minutes, when suddenly his curiosity could not allow him to stand there without moving, so he decided to approach the pond.
He walked hundreds of steps until he reached the pond that was in the closest part to the Redemption Waterfall, when he saw that around it they had seals carved all over the side, which were in a language that Nulambart could not decipher what it meant.
Let's see what happens to this pond. Then he decided to touch the water, so he moved his right hand to try to do so, since even with his wrist in poor condition, he could move his arm.
However, before he could do so, the doors to the healing room opened, revealing a new female figure that he had never seen before.
She was an adult woman with a dark complexion, approximately 50 years old, like Aggro, but that contrasted with her light green hair that seemed almost white. She was also dressed in a white coat that made her look like a healing specialist with her green eyes.
Nulambart, looking at her from a distance, thought that said woman who entered looked even more like Aggi than Aggro himself, so she would undoubtedly have to be his friend's mother.
Then he ordered his body, and walked to meet the woman who was coming in, and then he prostrated himself as with Aggro before Aggi's mother.
"Greetings, Mrs. Aggar, it is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Nulambart Soulstone, I come from a village outside the forest. I am also a friend of your daughter Aggi." Nulambart formally introduced himself, although in a somewhat rigid manner, since meeting so many important people was tiring for him.
"Hello, son, it's a pleasure to meet you. That's right, I'm Aggar, Aggi's mother and the wife of that ogre Agro, I hope I haven't given you a hard time," said Aggar, introducing himself in a very polite manner with a cheerful tone of voice, and with calm gestures that seemed to exude a lot of wisdom.
She seems to be the only normal one in this village. Nulambart thought, remembering all those who had interacted with him.
"Well, Nulambart, let me heal you with the help of the pond you were looking at when I entered," Aggar said calmly, and without waiting for Nulambart's response, he walked towards the pond.
Nulambart simply followed her instructions and walked behind the woman, while looking again at the few stretchers that were there, then she remembered the condition of her friend Aggi.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Aggar, but how is Aggi doing now?" Nulambart asked when she reached the pond, looking at Aggi's mother.
"Don't worry about her son, she's resting in her room, she should wake up tomorrow," Aggar responded.
Nulambart felt her heart much lighter after knowing that she would be able to see her friend again tomorrow.
So, without much more time to waste, Aggar began making preparations to heal Nulambart's injuries.
"Nulambart, I see that you have serious injuries on your arms, so normally it would take several months of recovery before you can use them again, but luckily you have my help and the help of this pond that was created by our ancestors," explained Aggar, who prepared himself by making seals on his hands.
Then, a sacred aura emanated from his body, which was of a remarkably pure white color, with a presence that made Nulambart himself consider kneeling in front of said presence.
"I am a cultivator completely focused on sacred healing, because I am a different type of cultivator than creators like my husband, Aggi or my son, I am an elemental type cultivator, who uses my soul with an affinity towards light to produce effects with my abilities," Aggar explained, while maintaining her aura around her body.
This is a very different way of using soul power, how interesting! Nulambart thought that It is certainly different from the soul usage that creator-type cultivators had, like the demi-human guard he had faced.
Just when Nulambart was thinking about it, he heard Aggar's voice, asking him to enter the pond, so without taking off his clothes, he simply entered the pond.
A feeling of warmth immediately felt in his body, feeling like his soul was simply taking a breath, and his body was resting peacefully.
This water undoubtedly has magical properties. Nulambart was impressed by the pond in front of him, so he opened his eyes wide as he bathed in its waters.
"The Redemption Waterfall rises deep in the Elvareth forest, and although no one knows where its source comes from, it is known that it has beneficial properties for martial cultivation, healing, and also human consumption," Aggar began to explain as he watched Nulambart swim in the pond.
"This is why the Cascade is the focus of our tribe, and the most likely reason our ancestors chose this place to create our civilization," Aggar continued.
"The pond was created by our ancestors, and the seals that you can see around it are precisely the techniques that allow the water in the pond to be amplified and retained, in such a way that it has a purity much greater than normal."
Hearing this explanation, Nulambart felt that everything made sense, as he could clearly understand the benefits that this waterfall could bring to people.
Aggar asked him to be there for 1 hour, so he simply closed his eyes and waited for that amount of time until he finally heard Aggi's mother's voice.
"As your body is now bathed in the energy of the pond, you will be able to feel how all your muscles now contain part of the energy coming from the pond, so through my power I will be able to heal you in the course of a few hours, injuries that could have been healed in 3 weeks only with the help of my power," said Aggar, who had been keeping his aura active the entire time.
Seeing this, Nulambart knew that it had to be related to keeping the pond active, because he could see how the seals on the outside were shining.
Once the explanation time was over, Aggar spent the next 3 hours using his white soul will to help unite the broken bones and heal Nulambart's muscles.
The power of Aggi's mother was undoubtedly unique, since she saw how small specks of light came from the woman's own chest and gathered calmly, dancing towards Aggar's hands that moved, touching and moving Nulambart's arms and wrist.
Nulambart did not feel anything beyond what was tolerable, so Nulambart knew why it was due to Aggar's expert work, as well as the help of the pond.
At the end of the 3 hours, they simply watched night fall, but Nulambart had finally been healed of all his physical wounds, although he was extremely tired from the entire process.
Aggar retracted his aura, and while a drop of sweat fell on his exhausted face, he told Nulambart that he could rest on one of the stretchers.
"Try to rest well, son, since tomorrow Aggro will explain to you about some matters that are extremely important," Aggar said before leaving, and continued.
"It will explain to you the serious crisis we are facing now… That crisis includes your village as well," said Aggar, whose eyes were trembling.
"This crisis is caused by the return of the Stella Kingdom," Aggar finished saying before leaving.
Nulambart stood shocked in place, as his previously calm heart skipped a beat.
After thinking about everything that had happened, as well as the new information that he would know tomorrow, Nulambart was only able to sleep after 2 hours looking up at the sky.
