Chapter 181. The princess is a spirit sergeant (5)
“No matter how real it is, it’s hard to find right away. It was reproduced fairly similarly.”
“…is that possible?”
“If it’s a fake with poor purity.”
However, the production method is a secret.
In fact, none of this is necessary.
However, I have to look like a powerless ordinary person except for knowledge.
That’s why they deliberately made fakes like this.
After that, he drew a magic circle on the floor.
“Even ordinary people who have no affinity. If there is such a suitable medium.”
I flicked the stone with my hand and threw it upward.
The thrown stone draws a parabola and falls toward the magic circle.
Why do you deal with spirit stones like this?
this is more form
“The beings that exist beyond the providence of nature. Call your names according to the ritual of conversation with you.”
Let’s order in moderation.
The spirit stone I threw fell in the middle of the magic circle.
Then, the magic circle absorbed mana from the spirit stone and began to emit strangely colored light.
It is a bit bluer than the normal mana color.
Because it has a more natural nature.
“And once the summoning ceremony is completed like this. Even a guy like me who can’t even use magic.”
Before I could finish my words, something like a ball of blue light appeared in the magic circle.
“Damn, this is the spirit.”
“…isn’t that a spirit?”
“Right?”
However, compared to that salamander, what I summoned is nothing more than a fist-sized grain of light.
However, before misunderstanding, I emphasized again that this was a success.
“Well, it was a ritual drawn on the spot with a fake spirit stone. It’s like this because I called it for a demonstration.”
In other words, it is only a spirit that can be summoned.
To put it in words, it’s like calling out only your hands or feet.
I had no intention of making a contract with the spirits anyway, so I deliberately showed a halfway demonstration of the summoning.
“It’s roughly like this.”
I rubbed the magic circle away with my foot, and the ball of light disappeared as well.
“This is a common misunderstanding. You don’t have to have high spirit affinity to summon them.”
“Then why… can’t other people use it?”
“The first is that it is difficult to find a medium for the summoning ceremony. The second spell is also really complicated. And even if I call the third one, they can’t communicate.”
That’s why spirits have become purely the skill of only a few talented people.
And now, for nearly 200 years, the existence of the Elemental Spirit has not been confirmed.
For now, there is a reason, but I can’t tell you now.
“The fact that magic has become more convenient than expected is also why it was naturally forgotten.”
“ah??????
Pena nodded as if she agreed with something.
If it’s magic, there’s no need to summon these complicated gins while consuming expensive spirit stones.
You just need to learn the spell and chant it.
“Of course, that doesn’t mean spiritism is inferior to magic. The reason… I’ll tell you next time.”
First of all, today’s goal is to have the princess fully learn how to summon spirits.
“Today, as a test, let’s summon one more time.”
“okay! Can I just do it the way I saw it before?”
The princess smiled and held out her hand to me?
huh? You want me to give you a hand?
Does anyone know who this lady is?
I put my hand up slightly while being dumbfounded.
open hands.
Then Pena tilted her head.
what’s the matter? You did as you wished.
“That’s not it, the spirit stone!”
“doesn’t exist. How hard is it to make them? I only have one that I made as a test.”
It was also to show a demonstration today in the first place, and I have no intention of making it anymore.
“Then how do I call you?”
“This princess… where did you hear my explanation? You have a high affinity, so I just need to summon you.”
“ah!”
It was only then that Pena withdrew her hand, as if she understood.
It was a little embarrassing for pointing out the wrong thing, but he was trying to pretend that nothing was wrong with his face dyed red.
“order! Is it okay to memorize an order?”
“yes? yes? Just follow what I did before.”
I wrote an incantation and pasted it on the wall.
Why do you have to memorize it to make your head hurt?
You just have to look at it and recite it.
In fact, if you have a high affinity and are good at summoning senses, you don’t really need spells.
However, she needed it because she was still immature.
“The beings that exist beyond the providence of nature. Call your names according to the ritual of conversation with you.”
For now, the princess chanted a stuttering spell while trying to copy the way I showed her.
However, a bit unfortunately, it seemed like the same lump of light was gathering, and then it vanished in vain.
“Unfortunately, you couldn’t concentrate properly, right? Try again with the feeling of focusing on the voices around you.”
“Yes!”
Following it faithfully, Pena chanted the same incantation again.
Then, this time, the effect did not vanish in vain like before, but the ball of light began to shine more brightly.
“Success.”
Looking at it, I nodded.
As expected, the affinity was high, so even those with poor consciousness could easily succeed.
“Is it the same fire spirit as Salamander… or a different elemental spirit…?”
Since it was still in the process of being summoned, detailed properties could not be determined.
Pena herself was concentrating on her senses, so there was no reaction.
After waiting for a while, I finally felt the certain attributes of whether I had succeeded in the specific summoning.
“…is it the …. noise of the earth?”
What was summoned was a dwarf made of sand.
A spirit gnome with an earth castle.
“I’m here! I’m here!”
“Yeah, I can see it too, so don’t make a fuss… Yes, pitifully, one more spirit has been summoned to this filthy world.”
“…Even if he talks.”
As if my joke wasn’t funny, Pena opened her eyes and seemed to want to question something.
no it’s true
For now, the gnome was looking at me and Pena alternately.
It seems that he has just been summoned and is still unable to determine what it is.
Where am I? Who am I?
I look around with such a hard feeling.
However, as if he recognized his owner, he stared at Pena for a long time and then bowed his head.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
As expected, I couldn’t hear the voice of a lower spirit like this.
“Do you know what I’m talking about?”
“’What shall we play?’? maybe.”
“Because the intelligence of the spirits is just that.”
There seemed to be no particular problem.
The spirit itself doesn’t seem to be against Pena, and Pena seems to like the newly summoned gnome.
“What are you going to do? Would you like to return it like this? Or do you want to sign a contract?”
“Returns…
“If you don’t like it, you can just send it back. And keep picking until you find a spirit with an attribute you like.”
Of course, what came out depended on the luck and affinity of the elemental sage.
This is why I don’t like elemental magic very much.
It’s dark.
But Pena didn’t seem to like my honest expression very much.
“There is no need to send it back. Did he come out because he likes me? Then we will make a contract.”
“Hoo? Are you really going to do that?
princess? Can you really make an impulsive contract so easily?”
“…What is there?”
“no. I just did it.”
This is what I said because I wanted people to be more cautious about contracts.
“It is not impossible to break the contract. And the lower spirits aren’t that strict. But someday, when you sign a contract for an intermediate level or higher, you’d better be a little more careful.”
“are you okay. Because I have no intention of destroying it.”
don’t do that
After Fenna said that, she bent her knees toward the gnome and held out her hand.
The gnome stared at him for a while, then formed his body into a hand and joined them as if shaking hands.
“The contract has been established.”
To others, it may seem like nothing happened, but Pena herself is probably experiencing the strange sensation of communing with the spirits.
As evidence of that, the person in question is now slightly closing her eyes and making a strange voice.
the contract is over
In response to my order to check if the contract was established properly, Pena gave the gnome an appropriate order, proving that it was properly established.
“Can you hear another sound?”
“no. I can’t seem to hear it.”
Pena pretended to listen and then shook her head.
“It seems that there was only one spirit this time.”
While making a contract with the gnomes, the affinity with which they could communicate had reached their limits.
Afterwards, if the affinity increases, it may be possible to summon more.
that will be in the distant future.
“I made a contract with two spirits, so now the emperor… Is that your brother? He would faint in surprise if he found out.”
The spirit sage reappeared.
Perhaps a new line in history is the discovery of a talented person who deserves to be written.
By the way, a fire spirit and an earth spirit…
No matter how you think about it, it’s a combination that’s only useful when making pottery, right?
I had the same silly thought.
“…That might be the case…
Pena smiled awkwardly for some reason and pretended to agree.
In fact, he doesn’t look very happy.
But she’s trying to hide it.
“I’m sure my older brother would be surprised if he knew.”
Hmm.’
I was convinced by her reaction.
Apparently she was…
“Pena Amret Janil.”
When I called her name in a slightly lower voice, unlike before, Pena thought for a while and sent all the summoned spirits away.
I didn’t pay attention to her stare, which looked back at me without saying a word.
“Let me ask you one thing. The reason why your empire wants to hide spirit magic… No, it should be the reason why it shouldn’t be found out.”
“I’m going to make it clear that this is what happened.”
I decided to bring that confidence out in front of myself.
“you guys…. That’s why the Merman Empire is trying to hide that you’re an Elementalist, right?
Because it should not be known to the Holy Land.
Right?”
I already guessed why.
“According to the doctrine that the holy kingdom enshrines the god or something, all non-human beings are treated as unclean.”
And the unclean beings they claim belong not only to other races such as elves and dwarves.
“Especially what they hate the most is spirits.”
They treat spirits as evil beings.
They consider it almost like a devil and sell it.
In fact, hundreds of years ago, there were only a few records about the death struggle between the Holy Kingdom and the remaining elemental spirits.
Sometimes I read such records that they hunted more brutally than the devil.
“Perhaps it’s because of that, recently the Elemental Sage has disappeared.”
It is also the Spirit that is sensitive to human malice.
Of course, some of them are human, but they have shown their malice by accusing them of being demons on a large scale, but the spirits can’t take it kindly.
It’s my personal guess, but I wondered if the reason why the Elemental Spirits plummeted and finally stopped appearing was because of the Seongguk’s policy.
The spirits were disappointed in humans.
I don’t know why the holy kingdom hates the spirits so much.
It’s because the real reason has never been made public, other than the hawks who say it’s evil.
“In the midst of that, a rare elemental magician appeared recently.”
I pointed at the silent Pena with a wink.
