"What...?" I couldn't believe my ears.
"I said, let's talk with your beloved parents."
Her voice was sincere, and she meant what she just said.
And she had a smile that was the same as it always was, reliable.
I didn't know what to say, but... a blank nod escaped from me.
She just smiled and extended her hand.
Still blank, with a chaotic mind and fast-beating heart, I accepted her hand.
'Talk to my parents?'
'Did she mean I can really talk to them?'
'Can I really see them? See my family I hadn't seen for the last three years?'
'How is that possible?!'
'Was there something like the communication device in this place that had the power to connect to some place where there wasn't a receiver?'
'How was something like that possible?'
'But if it was her…'
'If it was his master and grandma that had a gate of ancient times, it might be possible.'
'Maybe... I can, I... can see them?'
A single tear slid down my left eye, and I gripped her hand.
She patted me with her special hand that calmed my heart, and I nodded at her.
Walking to the middle of the room once again, we reappeared in a new area.
A place filled with flowers?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA garden with fountains, flowers, small plants and... sunlight?
"Where is this?" I asked, staring at this phenomenal place with utter disbelief.
I can see the ceiling, but there was sunlight filling the whole place.
Though there were windows, this should be late.
This should almost be evening or sunset but, there was clear sunlight, while some places were normal with dim light while some had dark shadows of night.
What a mystical thing to witness...
But my heart was beating faster, and this area had one place that seemed special.
A large garden that was far bigger than what it should be.
The last room was also bigger than what we had seen on the 36th floor.
Was there some kind of space magic covering all the floors?
Just how powerful was my master?
This was the question that I would find out eventually, so the more important thing before me was this altar with a big crystal ball.
Established in the center of a gazebo, this clear crystal ball was the only thing that attracted the eye other than the mystical flowers and plants.
This place was magical, but my mind wasn't focusing on anything other than this special crystal ball.
How was this going to make me see my family?
Can I use this whenever I want?
How does one even use this thing?
With Mana, like the mage's communication device?
How would this thing know where my parents are or how they look?
Maybe it would use my memories, but would it really be able to find it?
Will I be able to talk with them and if i-if... yes, then for how long?
I looked at it and used… tried to use my skill to know what this crystal ball was, but, as expected, that was futile.
"That low-grade appraisal could never apprise a divine artifact of this level, Eon," she said as if it was nothing but what she just said... this thing broke the ground beneath my legs.
"D-Divine artifact!?"
A real divine artifact?!
For real?!
"Hohoho looks like you know about them, too. Yes, that's a divine artifact, created by yours truly.
And this isn't the only one in this tower.
You might actually have a heart attack when you see the 48th and 51st floors.
Those are more exciting than others.
We have a lot of time, so we will visit them eventually." She paused for a moment and looked at me with a bit of a sad face.
"This one is called [Infinite Mirror Ring].
Just like the gate, this can connect anything in the space and create a screen before the targeted people.
This is something I made and the greatest flow of it is I am the only one that can activate it.
And, we can only use it once every three months.
We can't use it for more than ten minutes too.
So those are the limitations. Aside from that, you can speak to anyone you want and, at the same time, at that.
So? Are you prepared?" She asked in a gentle voice.
Though the three-month thing was too much, I understood it was a divine artifact we were talking about.
We divided artifacts into three categories.
Artifacts, Divine Artifacts, and Ancient Artifacts.
Normal artifacts were something we can find easily, and dwarves were best at making these things.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThough normal artifacts were divided into levels, the strength increased with each number.
My bow that mom gifted me was a (Level-5) artifact and the bow that I had been using all this time, the one that Ent gave me, which was obviously destroyed during the last fight, was a (level-6) artifact.
There were twelve such levels, and above them stood divine artifacts.
Something that only a grandmaster craftsman could create.
Though masters were the rarest when talking about forgers, craftsmen, or similar non-combat classes, when they successfully create a divine artifact, we considered them grandmaster level.
The ancient artifacts, just like its name suggested, were like that [Gate] on the first floor.
That was lost knowledge so, even if someone wanted to, they couldn't create something magnificent of that level.
My master created this incomparable thing, even among the legendary divine artifacts.
And she was definitely far above the grandmaster realm.
A grandmaster was an existence that could be counted on one hand, and on the whole of this continent, there were only six known grandmaster creators.
And... meeting someone far above their level... could only be called a blessing or play of fate.
I had thought that she was some immortal being, but then again, true immortality was not a thing in this world.
She was amazing and now I was even more excited to look forward to what she was going to teach me.
I wanted to learn everything I could from her and if creating things was one of them; I was even happier.
But it overjoyed me, the thought of getting to see my parents once again.
My dear family, I haven't seen you for a long time.
Grandma had explained more and only the ones I wanted to see me can see the round mirror-like screen that would appear on the other side so... I took a deep breath to prepare myself.
-Huuuu.
"Ok, grandma." I nodded, and she also nodded back.
She extended her hand and a white light came out of her beautiful hands.
A pure white light, the same as those magnificent flames I had seen back then and in the last room.
This light covered the glass orb, and I put my hand on it.
I had to think about them thoroughly and I couldn't do it less than perfect.
'Mom... dad... I'm fine...'
