Although financially well off, Helena still possesses an affable yet noble demeanor, a demeanor that is enough for anyone conversing with her, or even just passing by her, to respectfully address her as "madam." Complementing this demeanor is her virtue of being willing to help others at any time; even if passengers on the train who have never interacted with her before and are complete strangers seek her assistance after hearing about her extensive knowledge, she is usually patient in providing advice. However, the help Madam Helena offers is not without conditions. Before providing help and advice, she usually requires the seeker to pay a "price"—this price is often not paid directly in money or tangible goods. More often, what she asks for is a task, a promise, an agreement, or possibly even a request left temporarily open-ended."Whether as a magician or a gem researcher... oh, and just like what you refer to as 'science,' nothing in the world comes from nothing. There must be a loss to gain something, which is one of the basic principles of Imperial Alchemy."
Helena is very knowledgeable in magic and alchemy, which was fully demonstrated when the crew of The Eternal attempted to help a certain Outlander overcome the "Dissociation" happening to her. Faced with a problem that most people in the Empire could neither understand nor tackle, she not only provided a mature solution but also discreetly guided and assisted everyone through the lengthy search and preparation process. In the end, the process of completing the "Primordial Fruit" was personally completed by her. Would such a learned person really be, as she claims, "just a modestly wealthy traveling mage"?If one has even a slight understanding of the social system of the Mundus Empire, it would be known that powerful magic users are usually eventually concentrated in a few limited institutions like the royal court or the magic academy. Judging from the surprised expressions of those on the train who had some connection with the magic academy upon seeing Helena, it's clear that she had met them before; and given Helena's always guiding and instructive manner of speaking, it's easy to guess that she is one of the teachers at the magic academy, albeit temporarily on the surface for some reason.However, considering her own attitude... It's best to pretend to know nothing about her identity and quietly accompany her on vacation.
As previously mentioned, Helena is extraordinarily wealthy, and most of her assets are "imperial." Unlike the popular trend of investing and starting industries on the surface, the elite of the Mundus Empire seem more inclined to preserve their wealth. Some conservatives consider this a "dignified approach." While Helena also does not advocate extravagant wastefulness, she doesn't quite agree with this conservative approach either. So, several years ago, she began using her personal funds to help some children in unfortunate circumstances within the empire. In Helena's view, these children are not lacking in talent and effort; they just need the right assistance and guidance to succeed—like selecting raw gems, Helena seemingly casually yet carefully chose some candidates she believed had potential. These children all grew up safely; some returned to ordinary lives, some became renowned magicians, and some even went to the surface, contributing to the development of another world.Among them was a special child who, after losing family members at a young age, remained obsessed with revenge. It was Helena who found her, kept her by her side for education and nurturing, allowing her to put down the sword of vengeance and instead become a person with dreams.This child is now known to others as "Olivien."
While assisting an Outlander and uncovering the truth for those "little dwarves," Helena once again saw "that mural." When she was still a spirited young mage, she had seen that painting on her way to meet a person of importance, who was also her friend. As she grew older, she encountered it over and over while explaining the history of the empire and the origins of gemstone magic to some of her students. When she was invited by the alchemist of the royal court to assist them but politely declined after seeing those children, she saw the painting again…Just like Helena's appearance, the scene in the painting had not changed much. A tower with its brilliance extinguished, a dragon opening the path for the world, and people crossing through, with some round little creatures added to this painting compared to the common ones in the empire.In this world, they are called the Kulings. Long before they were ever referred to as Kulings, Helena had already seen these created, adorable little beings."How long has it been since then?"There was no echo in the cave. The people who could answer her had long passed away in the river of history; yet she continued to confide in the gradually dimming piece of sealing light."I have lived well over these years. The children I met on the surface have already completed your wish.""And also, the little ones you created have very adeptly learned the human 'heart'… The world hasn't turned bad like we feared, and the newborn lives have begun to shine brightly. By the way, the dragon children who were coerced back then are also on that train, and they are safe and sound.""Now, I will deliver a gift to these children on your behalf.""I hope one day, these children will find answers that belong solely to them—"
Greetings, I am Helena, a gem magician from the Mundus Empire—here is my letter of recommendation, and this is a meeting gift. Please accept it, no need to be formal.
I'll watch the scenery here for a while. If you need anything, just call me. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.
Oh, this is... a gemstone appraisal certificate. It's somewhat similar to the certification from the Empire... Unfortunately, here I am just an obscure mage and cannot provide you with such an authoritative proof—however, I am confident I can do better than them, as long as you're willing to trust me.
Whether it's cleaning, making tea, entertaining guests, or taking care of a pet—sorry, I can't do any of these. However, I can use magic to handle all these chores, how about that?
...Hmm? Why am I smiling at you? I'm just observing you. By the way, I noticed that your profile looks very cute when you work hard.
While having an eye for discovering beauty is important, the ability to express and articulate it is also crucial. When you discover beautiful things around you, you should express your appreciation to others—this is my principle.
I have known Olivien for a long time... I knew her when she was just a little girl. She used to practice swordsmanship more diligently than tidying up her room, have I ever told you that?
This is what I bought at the appraisal section of the Trading Center, and I asked that Salamander merchant to open it on the spot. It indeed turned out to be a beautiful piece of good material, and I'm giving it to you. Why? Well, there's no need for any special reason... Let's just say it's a "Good Kid Award" because I like you?
The schools on the surface and in the Empire don't seem to be much different... It's just that some terms in the school rules have changed. Hehe, I did quite a few interesting things during my school days too.
Livia... from the time we've spent together, she's a good child. If I were to make a comparison, she's like the pure and flawless, most precious high-grade diamond. You must not easily let go of that beautiful brilliance.
What's wrong? If you're afraid to sleep alone, I can make a small nightlight for you using a gem... That's not the issue? Do you want me to stay with you? Alright, I can't say no to you... but only for a little while.
Would you like to have a taste, Conductor? Ah, I forgot... You can't drink alcohol while on duty. Come and taste it with me when you have some time to rest.
Gems are not eternal, just like I won't be eternal either... Oh, it seems you can't bear to part with me. Don't worry, at least I'm still here for now.
Conductor... Yes, what should I compare you to? Before, I couldn't be sure, but now I know. It should be meteoric iron, the special metal formed in a meteorite crater. Haha, of course, it's very beautiful and precious, no need to worry... You are a treasure that exists only in this world.
What kind of lesson is going to be taught this time...?
Let's first solidify the foundation.
I have already mastered the method to crack it.
Blossom Radiantly——
The procedure is complete.
……Insufficient preparation before the battle, just treat it as gaining experience.
I'll step back first. Don't push yourselves too hard.
You commanded very well, I'm seeing you in a new light! …Alright, before going back to rest, how about accompanying me for a walk around Bonfire City?
