Shallot, the newly nad artifact spirit, was happy.
She felt a surge of joy knowing that the prophesied one had been hiding in this seemingly insignificant world, honing his skills and avoiding imdiate danger from his enemies.
She also took joy in the fact that Eren had no bond with any other Elder Seed Artifact, making her the first of her kind that he had discovered. She knew that her destiny was to vanish from the world of Anfang, as the immortal magic bound to her was unable to find a worthy successor after Shallot's passing. So, she was overjoyed that Eren had claid her before that eventuality. eting him was a montous occasion she wouldn't have wanted to miss.
Yet, amidst her happiness, the encounter with Eren also brought forth a realization for the artifact spirit. The man who had created her and the other Elder Seed Artifacts had indeed perished, unable to return in his forr form. Seeing Eren, practically speaking a blood relative of her creator, carried a bittersweet touch to her elation. It reaffird the truth that her creator had lost his immortality and t his end.
The artifact spirit, now Shallot, tried her best to recall her original na as Eren inquired about it. She knew deep within that she had once been given a na at the ti of her creation, but the veil of ti had shrouded those mories. Or perhaps the ancient enchantnts and immortal magic placed on her had intentionally obscured certain aspects of her past.
Despite this, Shallot felt a strange sense of comfort in adopting the na of her previous owner, Shallot Lancelot. It was a na that resonated with power and purpose.
"Eren, should I destroy the restrictions placed on so that you can carry ?" Shallot asked as she looked at Eren with anticipation.
As Eren contemplated whether Shallot should release the restrictions placed upon her, she couldn't help but feel a surge of eagerness. Having found her true inheritor, she yearned to assist him in every possible way.
However, Eren's response was cautious.
"Please don't do that," Eren said quickly. "At least not right now. I have many preparations to be made before I ask sothing like that from you."
Perplexed, Shallot questioned Eren's reservations. She knew his response would lead to an in-depth conversation between them. With a wave of her hand, Shallot demonstrated her powers, freezing the entire lake's surface to create a mirror-like ground. Eren quickly jumped out of the freezing water, but as he touched the solid surface, he realized that the lake was more than just water; it was an accumulation of Spiritual Force from countless beings.
Shallot confird Eren's realization, explaining that the lake represented the essence of all those who had co in contact with the Elder Seed Artifact throughout history. It contained the energy of previous owners, their adversaries, and even beings who had unknowingly crossed paths with the artifact. This revelation left Eren in awe, understanding the incredible significance of Shallot's Mirror.
The vast reserves of Spiritual Force within the lake stretched endlessly in all directions, a testant to the artifact's potential. Eren's mind raced with possibilities, but he also realized the grave repercussions that ca with harnessing such power. 'I… I am not ready to make use of such a foreign Spiritual Force to do my bidding,' Eren thought to himself and smiled mirthlessly.
The possession of Elder Seed Artifact had opened new possibilities for him. However, they were so grand and majestic that he couldn't make use of them right away. He needed sothing of his own level to conclude the Lazarus Project his own way.
"I need to be cautious, Shallot," Eren spoke with a mix of excitent and prudence. "There's this thing I'm working on right now…"
As Eren and Shallot joined hands, an extraordinary connection was forged. mories flowed freely between them, allowing Shallot to gain a profound understanding of Eren's character, ambitions, and the significance of the Lazarus Project. She realized the importance of remaining sealed within the runic bindings imposed by House Lancelot, ensuring that the project proceeded as planned.
Curious to know more about Shallot's powers, Eren eagerly questioned her. Although she tried to answer as much as she could, Shallot's mories seed to be veiled, held back by the immortal magic that brought her to life. Nevertheless, she shared valuable insights with Eren.
After a day spent in Shallot's realm, Eren knew he couldn't linger any longer. He returned to Baelin's smithy, where he had to present his progress in using Shallot's Mirror to create spiritual artifacts. Wanting to ensure the success of the Lazarus Project, Eren had to balance his ti between impressing Baelin and deepening his bond with Shallot.
Eren decided to utilize the expertise he gained over the past nine years to craft a set of spiritual artifacts that would leave Baelin impressed. Thanks to his control and mastery over Shallot's Mirror, crafting spiritual artifacts beca extrely easy for him. Of course, the spiritual amplification of his newly created weapons was also sothing that could awe anyone. However, he intentionally introduced so imperfections to avoid raising too many expectations and attracting unwanted attention.
As predicted, Baelin was thoroughly impressed with Eren's performance and considered him a rare artifact virtuoso. This led to an increase in Eren's workload, both from crafting spiritual weapons and fulfilling Amazonian assignnts on the side.
Eren spent the next two months tirelessly toiling in Baelin's smithy, diligently completing all his assigned tasks. The weight of responsibility and the impending Lazarus Project drove him to push his limits without any recreational breaks.
By the ti Eren erged from the smithy, less than nine months remained until the official launch of the Lazarus Project. He had honed his skills with Shallot's guidance, impressing Baelin with his mastery of spiritual artifact creation. However, the core part of the Lazarus Project had just begun, and Eren knew he had to be well-prepared to face the challenges ahead.
