Spirit (3)
As Harangi left the hut to prepare a contract with the Spirit of Chaos, several elf elders appeared.
They boarded the balloon bird with disapproving expressions, looked at Harang’s back going down, and asked the stargazer.
“Is there even a need to lend a hand to humans? “If Sadella trains properly in the future, she will definitely be able to control the chaos spirit.”
“… … well?”
She spoke in a cold voice without a trace of laughter.
“Even now, the seal is slowly weakening. Even the spirit priests can’t take it anymore, so there are more than 10 people being rotated every day. Even if a few months pass like this, it will not be enough for the spirit masters to even lead a normal daily life.”
“It’s just a matter of them suffering for a few years.”
“How many years? Will it really be that much? Sadella has a bright future, but elves are growing so terribly slow. Best talent? This is good. But because our lifespans are so long, we elves cannot be fierce.”
“What is that… … ! Are you belittling our elven brethren?”
“yes that’s right. You could say it’s a disparagement. “To that extent, their abilities must be recognized.”
Dwarves have succeeded in building powerful science and technology thanks to their basic physical abilities and dexterity, as well as their affinity with the land, and thanks to their unique ability to assimilate with nature, elves have achieved a level that humans can only achieve through decades of effort. He is born with magic and also has superior physical abilities.
What about humans?
There is nothing special about any of them.
Nevertheless, why do humans dominate half of the continent?
“They… … Because our lifespan is short, we desperately live every moment without letting a single moment go to waste. “I believed in that about humanity.”
“… … .”
The elders frowned. No matter what the star-gazing woman said, she seemed to have no intention of agreeing.
“What is your opinion? Do you think humans and others can handle the spirits of chaos?”
They just laughed.
“There’s no way that could be possible. Even our spirits born from nature are difficult to handle. “Your foolish actions will only awaken the spirit of chaos and cause great chaos in the village.”
“Even if we don’t do this, it will happen within a few years. “Anyone who has potential should try it.”
“under! That’s funny. “Just because you can tell by the stars doesn’t mean you have to be wise.”
“Tsk tsk. “I don’t understand the chieftain’s intention in entrusting the position of astrology to a child who hasn’t even lived for 100 years yet.”
“It won’t be long anyway. The chief is worried that the time has come. “When that time comes, you too will have to leave.”
“Who says what? I also don’t want to look at stars in this smelly place, do I? “I’m dying to get out of this damn forest, hold on.”
She was amused by the elders who talked about the position of an astrologer as if it were some kind of high-ranking position, so she shook her head.
“Let’s go now. “Because I’m busy.”
“Tsk, that’s cheesy… … .”
“The day when humans awaken the spirit of chaos is the day when the four years of life fall. “We’ll see.”
As the elders left, she shook her head.
“Oh, you old bastards. “Even so, what kind of natural race are you talking about?”
* * *
In order to make a contract with the spirit of chaos, it was necessary to basically practice communicating with the spirits.
It was a funny story.
The subject who declared that he would contract with the ‘Spirit Emperor of Chaos’, who has the same power as the Spirit King of a considerable attribute world, is now practicing spirit communion?
“Hey, is that it?”
“Wow. “This is my first time seeing a human.”
“Your ears are really round… … .”
“Are all humans that pretty?”
“The book says that most humans are ugly. that’s interesting.”
At the end of the fairy’s nest, there was a sharp cliff, where the ‘Spirit Temple’ was built, and elves often visited to communicate with the spirits.
Since a human appears and walks in such a place, it is natural that it becomes a spectacle. On the contrary, Harang was also watching the elves.
‘That’s how we communicate… … .’
An elf boy with a translucent snake around his neck and an elf woman sleeping while hugging a wolf-shaped spirit.
They were silently exchanging energy and feeling each other, and Harang found it very fascinating to see that.
“Hey, think again! “This isn’t real?”
Avalanche was chasing behind and stopping Harang. No matter how he looked at it, he thought it was impossible to make a contract with the spirit of chaos!
It’s a chaos that has a reputation for being difficult to handle, but it’s called ‘Spirit Festival’.
Isn’t he a being just below the Spirit King, who has the strongest abilities even though he did not become the Spirit King?
The highest level spirit that could immediately become the Spirit King if given the opportunity was the Spirit Emperor.
“This is so crazy!”
As Avalanche continued to speak as if he was worried, Harang stood at the entrance to the Spirit Temple and made eye contact with him.
“Uh, uh… … Have you changed your mind?”
“There are about four reasons why you must contract with the Chaos Spirit Emperor.”
Harang spread four fingers.
“First, there is a reason why it has to be that way.”
“… … reason?”
Yes. While talking with the ‘stargazer’, Harang came up with a reason to make a contract with the spirit.
━━━[Sub Quest]━━━
Chaos Elemental Pill
The Northern Fairy’s Nest has been sealing the Spirit Emperor, which is full of the power of chaos, for a long time, but its power has now reached its limit. The situation is so desperate that the elves have no choice but to lend help to humans.
If the Chaos Spirituality is released from its seal, it will cause great chaos in the fairy world. The only way seems to be to make a contract with him and suppress his power.
*Goal: Contract with the Elemental Emperor of Chaos
*Reward: Kaladun martial arts lesson plan
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
It was because of this quest.
This is a martial arts lesson plan, following the last Caladon weapon skills lesson plan. It is clear that it will be of great help to Harang.
Of course, that wasn’t the only reason. Just looking at the content of the quest right now, it seems that the spirit of chaos will wake up sooner or later and wreak havoc on this place. Although the words have been nicely purified, there will definitely be a cruel incident in which many elves will die.
Now that I knew about it, I couldn’t just watch it.
“The second reason is?”
“… … “I don’t think I can do it, so that’s it.”
Sadella, who was walking ahead of Harang, who spoke slightly hesitantly, turned her head and snorted.
“under! Do you think you can make a deal with him?”
He approached Harang and spoke with a distorted expression.
“The spirit of chaos, ‘Cardion’, we Wood Elves have been fighting against for a long time, preventing it from leaking out into the world. If you made a mistake, even your human city would have suffered great damage. Is the spirit festival funny just because we are quietly suppressing it? After all, you humans treated spirits as little more than fighting dolls.”
“I have never looked down on spirits.”
“And yet you still say things like that?”
“Spirit is not funny, but I said it because I was confident.”
“You’re saying I look at that in a funny way!”
“Woah~ Calm down!”
Avalanche broke out in a cold sweat and separated the two. Although one side was angry one-sidedly, Harang’s response was not without problems.
‘Hey kid, I haven’t seen you like that, but you have a lot of pride, don’t you?’
Avalanche quickly changed the topic.
“What is the third reason? huh?”
When Avalanche asked, praying that nothing that would make Sadella angry would come out of Harang’s mouth, he smiled secretly for some reason and said.
“Because of its scarcity, I want it.”
“… … her?”
Even Sadella couldn’t get angry this time. Avalanche, who knew very well how powerful the Elemental Emperor of Chaos was, could not help but make an expression of bewilderment.
“Yes, you… … “You’re a wizard, right?”
“Hmm, a knight to be exact. “He’s also good at using magic.”
“Anyway, if you learned magic, wouldn’t you know it? “What incredible power a being of the level of a Spirit King possesses.”
“I know.”
“know? “They can beat up any guardian if they put their mind to it.”
“In fact, there is a story that goes down that the Spirit King of Fire fought over the guardian who controls flames.”
“And yet… … “Is that what you’re saying?”
When Harang replaced his answer with a smile, Avalanche felt that his confidence was admirable. No matter how young he is, the boy who has 5-star swordsmanship and has been through many hardships by rolling around here and there would not be foolishly saying something without knowing anything.
‘How can you have such confidence even when you know everything?’
Avalanche shook her head and asked one last question.
“What is the fourth reason?”
“that… … .”
Harang looked at the spirit temple.
Harang also knows that elves communicate with spirits and gradually contract with more powerful and higher-level spirits. If she took her time slowly, Harang would be able to relieve the coldness in her body.
“Now there is no time to relax. My family situation is a bit complicated, so I think if I don’t return home as soon as possible, I’ll be in trouble… … .”
“Family circumstances?”
Avalanche tilted his head.
Having little understanding of human families, he did not know why Harang was in trouble.
* * *
Astera central continent.
At the palace of Calambrinho, the capital of the Duchy of Caladon, there was an unexpectedly large procession of carriages.
It was a huge event that forced the world to pay attention to the Caladern family, as not only the head of the family, Kal-El Paul Caladern, but also all the 9-star experts known as Caladern’s ‘Twelve Swords Elders’ gathered together.
If there are 10,000 8-star experts in the world, there is only one 9-star expert.
If beings who have reached that level of supremacy gather together and suddenly start a war, one or two countries will easily collapse.
Perhaps knowing that the surrounding countries were shaking, the Elder Council of the Twelve Swords gathered in the throne room of Calambrinho and criticized Duke Kal-el.
“It’s been almost a year since your successor went missing. “Now is the time to decide on the next successor.”
When Bigens Paul Caladorn, an old man with gray hair, spoke while holding a cane, Kal-El glared at him in silence.
The elders in the Presbyterian Church may be old and weak, but they are still showing correct abilities, so if they all aim their swords at once, even Kal-El would be in quite a bit of trouble.
The will of the Presbyterian Council cannot be carelessly ignored. They were the only ones operating outside of the power of the head of the family, and their power could not be ignored.
“There is no need for a successor.”
“Kal-El. How long do you think you can live? How long do you think you will be able to hold on to the position of the strongest as the head of the family?”
“well. “I think I’ll be alive for another hundred years.”
“Are you saying that you will continue to hold on to your position as the head of the family until then?”
All humans grow old.
Those who reach the level of superhumanity suppress aging, but that does not make them immortal.
As people become weaker as they get older, and Aurors do not perform as well as they used to, their strength gradually decreases, so it was the rule for the heads of martial arts families to select a successor before they grew old and were defeated by someone, passed on the position of head of the family, and then retired to the background.
however.
“Do I look old?”
“… … Phew!!”
Kugoogung!!!
Suddenly, as if a huge pressure was pressing down on them, the entire throne room began to crumble, and the elders bowed in cold sweat. It’s not that it wasn’t, it was difficult to withstand Duke Kal-El’s pressure with his back straight!
However, the Council of Elders, as the twelve masters who supported Caladern, withstood Duke Kal-el’s sincere spirit and steadfastly spoke out what he had to say.
“… … Yeah, good. “If that’s the case, I’ll come back in two months.”
Two months from now will mark exactly one anniversary of Harang’s disappearance.
On that day, Harang Paul Kaladan’s death was officially confirmed and there was no choice but to hold a funeral.
“I understand your desire to believe that he is alive, but you wouldn’t even refuse a funeral, right?”
“… … .”
Kal-El twitched his eyebrows, but couldn’t get angry.
The funeral of a blood relative was a very important family event, so not doing it meant denying that Harang died as a blood relative.
In other words, it was tantamount to Kal-El personally excluding Harang from the family genealogy, so the funeral had no choice but to be held.
Whether he is actually alive somewhere in the world or not.
“We’ll see each other again then, and then we’ll head back.”
After saying these words, the Kaladan Twelve Swords Elder Council left. For now, Kal-El is not giving up his opinion, but in two months, the position of Duke Kal-el’s successor will officially become vacant.
‘Greedy old monsters… … .’
It was disgusting to see people constantly trying to insert their own grandchildren or supportive blood relatives into the position of successor, but regardless, tradition had to be followed.
Although he has broken the tradition several times so far, he cannot break the tradition that forms the framework of the entire Caladern family, no matter how much he is Duke of Kal-El.
This is because this tradition was the Kaladun itself that Kal-El wanted to protect.
“… … .”
Duke Kal-El closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before parting his lips.
“Aran.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Aran appeared in an instant and knelt down behind him.
“Tell me to prepare in advance for Harang Paul Calladan’s funeral, which will be held in two months.”
“… … !!”
Aran looked shocked at his words, but bowed his head silently.
“Yes, I will follow your orders.”
