If she had had no experience with anything related to magic, this would have been difficult to understand.
"Yes, that’s how it is with the body.
The higher your capacity, the more your body has to adapt.
So if your mana capacity increases, the more your body can carry and tolerate.
Thus, even after you died, your body carried a huge amount of the mana His Majesty had been giving to you back then while you were asleep.
It should spread out and be released so ti after your death, and more quickly if your body was cremated.
However, Evania occupied your body and thus would be able to harness it.
Since they know about the long-lived races, they must have planned to maximize the mana you had.
Evania and her fake allies would have been able to use it as much as they pleased until it ran out.
However, mana recovers over ti, so they can simply help her recover," Alwin surmised.
This ant Arabella and Evania were used by the schers for whatever they had in mind.
It was such a cruel fate. They both thought they were doing sothing for themselves or their loved ones, but in the end, they were just disposable pawns by a player they did not even know.
They had been toyed with too much by whoever it was behind all of it.
"One must be so twisted to think of using a person like that," Arabella gritted her teeth.
It was such a scary scenario. They could have used her body to kill even more people.
"They are. As you can see, they can keep transferring from one body to another just to achieve whatever their goals are," Alwin sighed.
"Alwin, what if Valeria is not their only goal.
What if it’s not Eliora either?
What if it’s to rekindle the hatred between two races and make another Great War?"
Arabella could not help but co to these conclusions after everything that had been happening so far.
"I have also thought about that.
It is indeed possible if the scher behind everything that’s happening is from the sa group," Alwin agreed with her.
"Then, shouldn’t we prepare for it?
Shouldn’t the long-lived races be warned so they can prepare in advance?"
"That’s not a good idea.
The long-lived races still haven’t healed their wounds.
As you can see with my Uncle, they are still in mourning for the dead.
If they are disturbed while in this state, those who have lost their loved ones would not hesitate to break all the rules and wipe out humanity, even if they die doing so.
We cannot tell them about this since it will make things worse," Alwin clarified.
Arabella recalled the deep sadness and regret in Alvis’ eyes.
Even now, Alvis was still drinking poison in penitence for the lost lives he believed were his fault.
Alvis was sane enough to treat humans kindly, but with how he went so furious at the realization Alwin was hurt, it was clear, Alvis could do anything for the sake of the remaining loved ones he had.
The sa must be true with the other long-lived races.
Alvis was already among the kindest of the long-lived races.
Then what if it was the wilder ones with a bit of a skewed personality?
Humanity could indeed be wiped out.
Arabella would not have cared in her past life. Maybe, she would have even loved it if it were only based on what she knew and believed at that ti.
But now that she knew so much more and understood a lot more things, she even t a lot of people she now cherishes, she didn’t like the idea of another Great War.
"Then, does this an we have to solve this here without letting it reach Estrella?" Arabella inquired.
"Yes. We may report to the Overseer, or he probably knows already. But he is not allowed to ddle. He can only watch and advise us when necessary."
Alwin spoke of Elrond the way Ferdinand does. Like Elrond was so oddball that even they found hard to understand.
"Why are his actions limited when he is the Overseer of the long-lived races? The Pope can resolve issues here personally," Arabella wondered about the great difference.
"Because the Overseer is that powerful.
He was in his position because he is the most powerful among all primordials.
His Majesty said that a single action the Overseer does can change the future, so he doesn’t actively engage in matters he believes he should not interfere with, since it can affect the flow of fate.
His Majesty said that the Overseer’s power is not physical strength.
It’s sothing far more powerful than already transcends this world.
I don’t know what it is exactly either. But you’ll feel it once you et him.
I have never once disobeyed a word he said in this life and the past," Alwin said in reverence and likewise, fear.
It was a new expression on Alwin’s face.
It was different from the kind of respect he has for Ferdinand.
"Then, I’d rather not et him until absolutely necessary.
He might see through my ability," Arabella felt cold sweat run down her back just at the thought.
"Indeed. I felt like he saw through the instant our eyes t, but he did not comnt.
But I felt he knew I was not asking to learn forbidden spells for sothing important, so he did not question .
He simply said, ’I see’ like he already knew why," Alwin gulped nervously just at the thought. "Let’s stop talking about him. I feel like if we talk about him more, he might be able to hear us."
"What?! No way! Let’s talk about sothing else! Like... Why do primordials’ mates usually have a crazy mana capacity?!"
Arabella quickly changed the topic after what Alwin said. She also felt like what he said was true.
Her heart even beat so quickly, like it already knew that what Alwin said was a fact.
"Oh, that, it has sothing to do with your souls," Alwin quickly went along with the change of topic.
"Phew..." Arabella sighed in relief as her heartbeat cald down.
