Chapter 79 Turned into Frost
Aaron glanced up and absorbed the contents of the book into his mind.
The warrior is not harmed by the frost, but will turn into the frost.
Upon seeing this, Aaron asked Pegasus to sit down and consider how to explain the passage.
Aaron began:
"The biggest difference between warriors and wizards/mages lies in the extraordinary power they wield; often..."
They all need to use their own bodies as a medium.
Bekas countered, "But the first half of the passage clearly states that I was unharmed."
"What is being protected is your physical body, but not your spirit; your will will gradually turn to frost."
"What do you mean?"
Aaron shrugged: "It wasn't explicitly stated, but it could mean becoming dull-witted, cold-hearted, or unable to perceive changes in other people's emotions, and so on."
Pegasus remained puzzled: "But since I first mastered martial arts at the age of fifteen, I have never suffered any backlash from this power. Why is this power—"
Aaron chuckled upon hearing this, and Pegasus finally got to the point:
"Martial arts techniques are merely scattered expressions of a warrior's extraordinary abilities, while what can be called 'flow' are systematic and comprehensive martial arts techniques. In other words, all kinds of martial arts techniques are derived from 'flow,' and there is a fundamental difference in their upper limits."
"So, in other words, I haven't been able to truly grasp the essence of martial arts before?" Pegasus said in disbelief.
"Whether it's the essence or not, I can't judge," Aaron said. "However, going back to the previous question, all the 'flows' focus on a single power, and therefore will be in contact with the same extraordinary element for a long time, thus there is a risk of being backfired."
Pegasus nodded in sudden realization: "The extraordinary elements I've encountered before were too varied, which is why I haven't encountered this situation before—ah! Aha!"
"That's right. Therefore, I suggest that you don't use the moves from the book for too long, and you shouldn't over-practice them."
"I understand, Mr. Mosley. Thank you for your advice, but it's difficult for a martial artist."
"Oh? Why?" Aaron asked with interest.
While he possessed a wealth of theoretical knowledge, he lacked practical experience. Therefore, listening to a samurai share his thoughts was undoubtedly a learning and growth experience for him.
"A samurai is not satisfied once he has learned the moves. How to make the moves flow smoothly and how to use the right moves to deal with different situations are things that a samurai needs to study and practice constantly. Once he stops, he may lose his life on the battlefield due to lack of preparation."
Aaron silently memorized Pegasus's words, hoping they might come in handy later.
At this moment, Pegasus suddenly spoke up:
"However, Mr. Mosley, this is not the original purpose of my visit to you."
"Oh?" Aaron raised an eyebrow slightly. "Then, Sir Pegasus, what advice do you have for me?"
"I wanted to ask you if there are any other 'flowing' books hidden in this library."
Aaron was somewhat wary and said:
"Sir Pegasus, apart from 'Frostfall', none of the other books are suitable for you, I can assure you."
"Oh! Sir, you misunderstand. I'm not after power; rather, I'm looking for a book about the Beast School."
Why?
"To be honest, a few months ago, I fought another samurai for a long time. At first, we were evenly matched, but the longer it went on, the more I felt that I couldn't keep up, while my opponent seemed to have transformed into a ferocious beast, becoming more and more courageous and tireless in the fight."
Aaron thought for a few seconds after hearing this:
"This does indeed resemble the power of a martial arts style, gradually turning your opponent's consciousness into that of a beast, leading to changes in their body and senses."
“That’s right,” Pegasus nodded. “In the end, I saw that things were not going well, so I withdrew and ran away. But no warrior is willing to be defeated, and I always felt that I would have to fight that ‘dog’ again. So I wanted to understand his abilities so that I could wash away the shame with victory.”
Aaron tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, then a gentle smile appeared on his face:
"Sir Pegasus, since you have already encountered that power, there is a high probability that you will not be able to find any records of that school of thought in this library. Even if you do find them, you are destined not to gain any useful knowledge from them. However, if you insist on seeing them, I can search for them for you."
Upon hearing this, Pegasus paused for a moment, then said:
"In that case, I understand, Mr. Mosley. I was rude. I won't trouble you any further."
Aaron nodded slightly.
However, Pegasus narrowed his eyes and stared at Aaron:
"But Mr. Mosley, who exactly are you?"
"Oh?"
"You look to be only in your early thirties, yet you were able to calmly answer my questions, even in the field I've dedicated my life to studying!"
Aaron smiled and said:
"He's just an ordinary librarian who relies on his extensive reading and eloquence to get ahead."
Upon hearing this explanation, Pegasus said nothing more, simply bowed slightly, and then left the hall.
Life at the library continued as usual.
Annie became increasingly noisy, but she genuinely brought joy to everyone.
Recently, she has developed a desire to walk, and every now and then she props herself up and straightens her legs.
Unfortunately, he couldn't maintain his balance and fell onto the bed after taking only a few steps.
All three adults would burst into laughter at this.
Seeing this, Annie would laugh along with everyone and try again.
Annie was initially afraid of Bekas, after all, this man was far too serious.
However, recently, the two of them seem to have become "close friends".
Especially the way Bekas, with a stern face, let Annie ride on his head was truly comical.
He must have fallen for Anne, Aaron bets.
But no matter what, Pegasus is indeed a reliable man.
Since he came to the library, he would get up from time to time every day after everyone else had gone to sleep and patrol the library.
He will be the first to wake up at the slightest sound and search for the source of the anomaly.
After ensuring their safety, they returned to their makeshift bed to rest.
However, Aaron pretended to be unaware and let Pegasus do as he pleased.
That day, a pool of clear liquid appeared at Natalie's feet.
Bekas immediately went to town and found a doctor and a midwife.
The room where Natalie and Aurelia once lived together has now become a delivery room.
Aaron and Bekas waited outside the delivery room so they could come in and help at any time.
Bekas was clearly very anxious, pacing back and forth outside the door.
Aaron, however, had no time to spare and was focused on comforting Annie.
Natalie's screams seemed to frighten Anne, causing Anne to cry incessantly.
A few hours later, the delivery room became quiet.
Aaron and Bekas were undoubtedly deeply worried.
Only when a cry rang out did the two look at each other and smile.
After a while, the midwife came out and announced:
"Mother and child are both safe; it's a boy."
