Introduction to Spirits

- You're wearing makeup?

“It's hard for me to refine my core because I don't have skills, but I can do simple alchemy if I know how. I can knock the rest myself. ”

She looks stunning as Yeon-woo answers, tapping on the gemstone that boosts her power.

- What can't you do?

“It's not that great a lick. Plus, we need a lot of materials, so we can't right now. ”

Yeon-woo, who spoke boldly, moved her body as if she didn't have anything else to see.

Thousands of armored weapons beaten day and night while enslaving Hellhounds, a damn horseman bandit, before meeting Artenis. What if I don't learn a skill or kill it?

I was almost abused at the level of trauma, so I had no choice but to learn.

It was a trembling memory, but after half of it fell into the hands of Arthenis, and the rest was rooted in the hands of Yeonwoo, so there was no trauma.

Then I went to the point where I was selling knives and I bought a well-balanced, tens of millions of won knife.

The design was compact, but it was easy to handle with one hand, so it was fairly light and something with a sense of expectation.

The amplification rate was unusual and low. Honestly, I thought it would be better to just buy a normal knife and swing it, but the tidal wave said that there was a difference between not having an amplification rate at all.

- Knives are not efficient when fighting monsters.

“It's not just for monsters, and it's not necessarily bad for monsters. ”

- So it's a surrogate weapon?

“Technically. ”

Makes people sound frightened when they hear it.

“Thank you! Please try again. ”

After spending a lot of money on the remaining money, he immediately rented a car. I wanted to pick one cool thing, but I didn't really need it and didn't want to pay attention to managing it.

- Where are you going? Don't you usually use public transportation in your car?

“I'm leaving Seoul for a few days. I've searched everywhere. This time I'm going to Gangwon Province. ”

The first thing I did when I came back to Earth was gather information. From the inventory, Yeongwoo pulls out a book with a sketchy map and turns it to one place with a hissing sound.

“Let's go to nearby Hongcheon first. There will be many healthy mountain ranges since there are many troops. ”

The old man made it for me, said it was a license, a service. I haven't forgotten my driving skills yet, so I'll get used to it a little awkward.

Where he's headed is also near Gangwon Province.

There's a lot of talk about Class C Raid, but I don't have a reason to go now, and I don't have a reason to live in a dangerous place, so I ignored it neatly.

* * *

Approximately two hours later, Yeongwoo summoned beauty and her beginning as soon as she entered a relatively rare mountain range.

“Guys, come on out. ”

Quadruple! Bloop!

On the one hand, when Yeon-woo took out egg candy from the inventory and saw the little girls emerging from the flames of the air, Cho-yeon said with a big mouth.

“I heard you gave her something delicious! ”

Something tasty, something stuffed with egg candy, and you say it like that, and it's probably the spirit stone.

As long as you are bound by a contract, no matter how far away you are, you can easily meet spirits tied to the same contract.

If it seemed like a waste of time smoking, I was sad. Most lower spirits are less mature than children.

“I'll give it to you later, because I have nothing left to summon you. ”

Yeongwoo stroked her head with a soft smile, and she blushed her face and turned her gaze away, calling the ball breathtaking.

“D-do we have to find it? ”

“Yes."

“Yes! Then I'll find her, too. I'm sure I'll miss her. ”

“No! Beauty smells delicious! Beauty can do it!? ”

“What a fool! ”

“I'm not an idiot! ”

“You're a fool, Bae! ”

Clear drops of water form in the big eyes of beauty as you poke out your tongue.

“No! No! Whoa!”

“Huh, huh?! Ooh, don't cry! ”

The quarrelling distance was fortunate that they didn't fight so hard, and Yeon-woo asked her to look around without saying a word.

“What are you doing?”

- Breathe.

“Don't talk nonsense about breathing. ”

-... are you here because of the presence of the Spirit Stone?

Yeon-woo quietly answered her question.

“The air is clear, not just in the capital, so it's worth looking for places with plenty of natural spirits. ”

It is a region with a lot of inaccessible human hands.

Since there are often good spiritual stones in strong places in nature, it was worth checking.

Although it was also a place with many troops, there were nearby cities, there were so many mountain ranges that the air was relatively clear and the sky was small enough to see the stars.

Moreover, the Gangwon Province side has a relatively small number of hunters staying, so it was relatively slow to search the Hunter Association, so there was a high chance of entering when the New Dungeon was discovered.

In fact, the fog in the Gangwon Province area is quite small.

The area where monster fog appears varies, but the majority of the population will be cleared, whereas many tend to evade unless it is a special occasion in such a difficult place.

Hunters don't like fields in front of their houses, but they won't like to go far enough to hunt for the same reward.

It used to be a survival struggle, but...

Now I'm making money.

A life's worth of money.

If you ignore the long period of time when the dungeon has become a field, the size of the fog changes enormously or becomes open in a way that erodes widely around the fog.

Unlike the weak open fog, even monsters that are fundamentally the same are open over time with the same power as the field or dungeon.

That number is at least double to triple.

But it doesn't mean that your core is stretching, so you might have a really troublesome outcome.

‘I used to target open field or dungeon times before. ’

- Phew... If Yeon-woo's grades were so overwhelming, she wouldn't have to go looking for a new dungeon.

“This is fast, as long as you don't have skills like accelerating growth. ”

A little muttering, he calls out for beauty.

“Huh?”

He sobs and looks up at Yeon-woo with his slightly puffed eyes.

It's cute, but I have a sinful impression because it's a beauty that I like to roam the earth.

“Let me know if you see any fields or dungeons nearby. You know the range, right?”

“Mmm-hmm.”

“Tell me if you feel a spirit stone in the middle. ”

“Yes...”

I nodded helplessly and looked at Yeongwoo sighing as she quickly disappeared into the ground.

It's hot, but I still have to say, it's a matter of time.

“Don't fight amongst friends. ”

“Well, I didn't fight... I mean, this is...”

When I saw how restless he was after what he did, I suddenly felt strong that he was still a child.

“What am I supposed to do? ”

She rushed to Yeon-woo to ask if she was trying to change the subject quickly.

Anxious expression.

Since I had some friendship with Yeon-woo instead of falling in love with her, there seemed to be a clear feeling of wanting to be loved by Yeon-woo.

The strength of beauty will be relatively strong because of the mountain ranges, but there was no reason to summon the beginnings of the Mars Spirit Casein.

The beginner seemed anxious because he was well aware of the fact.

“Maybe I don't... need it.”

After expressing cautious anxiety, Yeong-woo shakes her head lightly, placing her hands on her head and patting her.

- Yeon-woo, beauty helps locate the surroundings, but the beginnings are definitely fire spirits. Wind may be possible, but what are you going to do with Fire Spirit...

The tide rebukes me with the knowledge I learned from Yeonwoo. She wasn't wrong.

In fact, the efficiency of Fire Spirits is mainly focused on their ability to attack. If you summoned the beginner because you put an enemy in front of you, it doesn't seem meaningful in the current situation where you can't even check whether there is a dungeon, a field, or an open fog.

As everyone was looking at it curiously, Yeon-woo slowly opened her inventory and pulled something out.

“Here's how. ”

- Is it a magazine?

“Yeah. Just in case. ”

A moderately nodded salmon spreads the magazine, tearing it lightly and scattering it all over the place.

Heave-ho!! Heave-ho!

With a cool sound, the pieces scattered all over the place, and the tide looked into the face of what this human was doing.

“Burn all the paper, supergirl. Don't touch the forest. ”

“Hmmm... If you just let me touch your abs once...”

“Don't you give me something tasty? ”

“Tsk.”

After lightly kicking her tongue and turning it into a ball of fire, she began to stick to the scattered pieces of paper all around as the fire started to burn everywhere.

The strange thing was that, despite the burning of the fire, the forest itself had no aftermath.

“You look up from the sky. Beauty will tell you the trick. ”

“Yes.”

As I heard his voice from the air, the tide tilted my head.

- What did you do?

“Smoke, the spirit of fire, can soak in smoke. ”

- Oh, God.

“There's a possibility of wildfires spreading, and there's a lot of paper smoke, so it's as efficient as it is beautiful, but you can see it from up there. ”

It may not be as fast as beauty. If there was a link with the Wind Spirit, you could see its magnificent effectiveness, but now that there is no Silf, you had to be satisfied.

Suddenly, the smoke that was clumped up started disappearing away because they were better than one.

Since beginners are spirits, there are no great restrictions on movement itself.

But that speed is as slow as a person's movement speed. Thanks to this, we had to slow down the search if we didn't melt it down with this small smoke.

The search speed itself will be faster since we've sent more beginners. Though it's a gamble to find nutritious ones.

I was wandering around the mountain looking for dozens and hundreds of times the range of existing equivalents because of the enormous spiritual power.

The search ranges were mostly in difficult terrain for people to travel to, so they only picked out places where they thought the spirit seat would be intact and moved.

Even though the rough terrain interfered with him, his physical ability was unusual, so he spent several hours moving around ignoring him.

Beauty or beginner's discovery of a new fog would be golden, but the probability was not definitive, so it could not risk everything on it.

By the time the sun set like that, it was almost sunset.

Beauty and freshness quickly appeared in front of Yeongwoo's eyes, who was about to turn back to tiredness.

Beauty came out forcefully, smashing the floor, and the premiere appeared as if she was floating gracefully in the smoke floating in the sky like a child.

“Brother, the red one! Red one!”

“It just happened! I've never seen anything like it. ”

Of course, they both act like children.

Red fog.

A common field-shaped fog that is not closed. In the case of the beginnings, the fog appeared because I had never seen it before, but my eyes sparsely shined brightly.

In the end, I was lucky, even though I couldn't find the spirit stone in the mountain range.

Yeon-woo stroked their heads as if waiting and immediately turned around.

“Let's go.”
