31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 37)
“where, … uh?”
A woman named Prine seemed to have sensed the extraordinary nature of the multi-spirit ship and squirmed for a while..
Griz was a genius with a different way of thinking than others. The inventions he designed defied conventional wisdom..
‘Did you find out that it was Griz's item??
The two wizards exchanged looks and said to Kang Seol:.
“There is no problem. but….”
“but?”
“Can you tell me where this item comes from??”
It was a question that Kangseol had expected, so he skillfully answered it..
“It's difficult for me to say anything since he doesn't like his identity to be revealed..”
“this… Ha, really. The craftsman who created and designed something like this can't be an ordinary person..”
“Anyway, is registration over??”
The man thought of a reason to get more information from Kang Seol, but then he remembered that he had to stop by here one more time before leaving anyway, and said with relief..
“that… Yes, it's here. You can bring the spirit's corpse or spirit into the spirit box..”
“All right.”
“Oh, and it looks like a troubling problem has occurred nearby..”
“a troubling problem?”
“Some of the adventurers who came to support disappeared.….”
“Are you missing??”
“That's how things are being discussed internally. However, it is likely that it will take some time for the search to be carried out due to the timing of the Magic Tower's lack of free time..”
If you go into the forest and run into trouble, they won't look for you, so try to survive on your own..
Snowfall sighed, nodded, and went into the forest..
* * *
The environment here seemed to have been greatly affected by the spirit flood..
In some places the forest had strange growths in the trees and small streams were overflowing. There were not only swamps where your feet were sinking, but also places where heat rose from the cracked ground..
‘This is shit. At first glance, you might not even know it’s a large forest..’
As long as spirits use this place as a playground, the forest will quickly die. Maybe he was already out of breath.
Snowfall unfolded the blueprint for the multi-spirit ship belt obtained from the 81st Research Institute..
The blueprint was full of information that Griz kindly explained..
How the spirit bags work, what spirits should go into each box, and what power is expected..
It even had instructions written on how to coax the corresponding spirit..
As befits a continental genius, the content was witty and his intelligence stood out..
After briefly looking at the blueprint, Kangseol was able to guess why this belt was left unfinished..
‘It was annoying..’
That part was also mentioned in the commentary written by Griz himself..
- I couldn't check it myself because I was inspired by something else, but it is perfect in theory, so I guess I can just implement it as written in the blueprint.…
From then on, there were a lot of excuses as to why I couldn't finish this belt..
‘Anyway, first of all, is it the Spirit of Verdant??’
Now that I knew how to use the spirit box, I couldn't stay still. Snowfall had a specific goal in mind, but she wasn't the type to hesitate..
First, Snowfall walked into the forest to capture the verdant spirit, which is known to be the most gentle..
Hehehe…
The further we went in, the thicker the bushes became..
As the dense vegetation blocks the sunlight, the light gradually decreases..
Snowfall was actually more comfortable that way..
Although his eyesight was bright at night, the spirit he was looking for was one that was easier to find the darker it was..
Rotten trees and leaves were creating a damp smell..
The first day of searching for the snow spirit passed like that..
Crack… widely…
That night, he lit a bonfire and fell asleep, driving away the chill..
There was no need to prepare anything separately for danger..
Even while he was sleeping, Jammad and Karuna took turns patrolling the surrounding area..
At times like this, I was reminded that it was a good idea to choose the profession of summoner..
3 days since then.
The snowfall was getting tiresome due to the continued forced march..
‘That's why I gave it a month..’
The Great Forest was unbelievably huge..
Fortunately, the boundary stone was on the outside of the forest, so if it had been located deeper, we would have already been dealing with monsters..
It was then.
Hehehe.
‘hmm? The wind….’
The smell of wet wood hit my nose strongly..
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For…
Just as I was getting an eerie feeling, a light coming from deep in the forest came into view..
‘green?’
Cheer ring…
A clear sound like a brilliant bead rolling around caught his ears. Green light was spreading out in the distance..
Snowfall steadily walked towards that place..
‘Here it is.’
And when he finally arrived at the place where the light spread, he found spirits glowing green..
Cheering… Chiring…
The sounds from earlier flowed from their bodies..
1Green spirits with a body size of about m, they were about the height of a child in infancy and looked like fat acorns..
Cheer ring…
One of them approached Kang Seol. It felt like he was saying something with his eyes..
Naturally, since Kang Seol could not learn the spirit language, he could only guess the other person's intentions..
Perhaps to ease his discomfort, a choice came to mind..
[I found the Verdant Spirit. What should I do?]
1. kill.
2. kidnap.
3. try to talk.
4. Follows me.
5. [Required: Elementalist] Demands obedience.
……
The only decent options were 3 and 4, and it was obvious that a conversation would be useless if only one person knew the language, so Kang Seol chose option 4..
From then on, Snowfall was careful about her actions and followed the spirit of green..
Chiring…
The verdant spirit stroked the tree and even hugged Snowfall's leg, mistaking it for a tree..
- Acorns, welcome back
- ear… cute…
- Ugh… heart… It's a dangerous creature.
- Run away! Snowman is cruel!
- I'm getting hungry just looking at you! be careful!
Snowfall chased after the verdant spirit with the intention of taking care of her nephew..
It's already been two days.
No matter how cute my nephew was, I would get stressed if I had to take care of him for two days in a row..
However, he walked three steps behind the verdant spirit with a calm smile, wondering what was so good about this tedious process..
The moment she lost her thoughts, Kang Seol remembered that there was a time like this..
‘I see.’
I once had this experience when rolling dice outside of the eternal world..
As I traversed the battlefield with blood splattering and flesh falling to the ground, and experienced a relaxing adventure away from the central events of the world for a moment, I felt the same way I do now..
Perhaps, he had been exhausted without realizing it after going through the previous five intense adventures..
I felt like all my thoughts and worries were washed away..
[Prolonged contact with the verdant spirit.]
[Mental strength permanently increases by 1.]
[Resistance to mental magic slightly increases.]
Although it wasn't specifically aimed at something like this, Kangseol felt happy once again at the message that came to mind..
Snowfall continued to chase the verdant spirit..
The verdant spirit, which had been doing various pastimes for two days, eventually flowed to the withered land..
The Great Forest was originally a place with abundant water..
It was clearly the trick of another spirit that such dryness had been created locally in such a place..
Chiring…
The verdant spirit stroked the land..
Then something strange happened.
sssss…
A fairly large area of land quickly became moist and grass and flowers sprouted..
Instead, the verdant spirit seemed to be feeling tired. My eyelids are lower than before.
months… months…
The verdant spirit used magic with tired eyes. Soon, a wreath made of flowers was placed in the spirit's hand..
Cook, Cook.
“Bow down?”
nod.
When Kang Seol bows his head, the verdant spirit puts a wreath on her head..
And then he was staring at the snowfall. It was as if he had finished his work and was waiting for something to be said..
“shall we go together?”
nod.
Snowfall opened one of the spirit boxes in the spirit pouch..
click.
Slurp…
The verdant spirit was sucked into it..
When the spirit box was filled with green light, a message came to mind..
[Chi-Ling, the verdant spirit, has been captured..]
[We have secured the abstract.]
[Type of currently captured spirit : 1]
[There is green in the spirit's pocket..]
* * *
Crack… widely.
Snowfall, sitting in front of the bonfire, looked at the bonfire with blank eyes..
‘Are there only 2 so far??’
Green and orange have been the harvest so far..
One month wasn't as leisurely as I thought. I've already used it for 5 days, so I had to speed up now..
If it had been another adventure, we would have already gone back to Nobira..
“With fresh green… Is it morning?.”
After the verdant spirit, we got orange, the morning spirit..
2The other adventurers would have gaped at the thought of capturing this type of spirit alive in such a short period of time, but Kang Seol was disappointed..
‘The spirit of the night won’t come again today?’
Purple Night Spirit.
It's a spirit that you encounter when you're active at night, but it was a mistake to expect to encounter it already..
I thought that if I continued like this, I would at least meet within the time limit..
‘By the way, does Grizz's belt become effective starting from the third animal??’
The abilities of the spirit pouch are strengthened each time the spirit box is filled..
The minimum standard is 3 spirit boxes. Snowfall hasn't even reached that standard yet..
“Phew… hmm?”
Rustle.
I could clearly feel the presence of people in the bushes. It was as if it had been done on purpose..
“Who is it?”
“ah… I… don't be on guard.”
Sasak…
A woman who looked like a college freshman jumped out from the bushes..
Snowfall saw her scratched here and there and thought she was lost in the forest..
“Excuse me, but can I get some light??”
Kang Seol closed his mouth for a moment, looked at her, and then turned his head towards the fire..
“Come this way.”
“thank you!”
“Are you lost??”
“yes….”
The woman looked like a drowned rat..
His hair was a mess and blood was seeping here and there. It was determined that he was an archer with an arrow holster on his back..
The two sat facing each other for a while, basking in the campfire..
I asked because the snowfall happened to be just right..
“The group?”
“no. I came here alone in the first place….”
“I see..”
“But thanks to you, I can sleep comfortably tonight.….”
“what's your name?”
“one… Han Seo-ryeong. What about you uncle??”
“It's not you, uncle. It's snowing.”
“ah… yes.”
“Here, cocoa.”
“thank you….”
Whoop…
Crack… widely…
As the awkward atmosphere continued, the snowfall only scratched the distant ground..
- Shock! Snowman's name turns out to be Snowfall…
- snowfall? snowfall? no wonder! Why did I say Snowman?
- How can a person's name be Kangseol? Hahaha
As viewers chatted after learning Kang Seol's real name for the first time, a sound was heard from afar..
thud. Cooung…
Even the shaking felt in the ground.
Clearly, something seemed to be approaching..
Cooung.
“uh? Uh... excuse me….”
“I heard.”
Cooung…
The midnight intruder didn't seem to be good at stealth..
Because his body glowed red. Moreover, it is huge.
He was smaller than Jamad, but bigger than Karuna..
“I think I'm a spirit….”
“yes.”
“W, there are several.?”
“I see it.”
“Should I run away? how… I, spirit ship!”
- monster ball!
- Hahaha, this fuss is ridiculous.
“No, you can stay still..”
“yes? It's not dangerous?”
“It's okay if you think of it as punishment.”
- such a big punishment
- Is that something called punishment these days? Haha.
Five or six flickering flames came to a halt next to Kang Seol and Han Seo-ryeong. And then I sat quietly and warmed the campfire..
Most spirits do not target humans unless they attack them first. I don't know if it's just a joke.
‘Besides, I didn't light a bonfire for no reason..’
The spirit of sparks comes wherever there is fire..
Of course, I didn't expect that so many large families would come to Snowfall..
Han Seo-ryeong and Kang Seol remained still and just stared at the bonfire..
As Kangseol's shoulders began to feel stiff, the sparkling spirit sitting next to Kangseol looked down at her. Although he was huge, he was a spirit as gentle as a sheep on the inside..
When I looked into the spirit's eyes, it seemed sleepy..
“I want to go in and sleep?”
nod.
Snowfall opened the spirit box.
click.
whirring…
Han Seo-ryeong looked at Kang Seol’s actions with wide eyes..
In her opinion, it was because Kang Seol was skilled at handling spirits as if he were a trainer..
‘it's okay!’
[Pozzo, the spark spirit, was captured alive..]
[got the red.]
[Type of currently captured spirit : 3]
[Red is in the spirit pocket..]
The conditions were finally met.
Eventually, the message that Kangseol had been waiting for ever since he got the spirit pouch came to mind..
[Multiple Spirit Box Belt (Incomplete) changes.]
