Invincible Saint ~Salaryman, the Path I Walk to Survive in This Other World~
299 Spirits and Summons
Before stepping into the untapped woods, I took out a water talisman that had been left all the way in the magic bag.
"With this, you won't get lost. Okay, do you want to go? Forenoir's on alert."
Yeah, but I don't think I need it.
"What... is that a spirit?
"Master Luciel, do you see Lacey?
It seems that Lician saw my reaction and immediately found out that it was there.
The Spirit, known as Lacey, was about three metres in size and felt like he was wrapping moss around his body to assimilate into the forest, and at first glance he also looked like a demon.
"... Lacey led you to the Water Spirit before?
"Yes."
Apparently, it's a hit.
You have a water talisman? Then follow me. '
When Lacey tells him so, he goes ahead without waiting for this reply.
"I guess Lacey doesn't flirt because she's a spirit who prefers to flirt with people because she can't play"
Forenoir did such an analysis.
If I stayed here forever, I would have lost my way, so I decided to hurry up and follow Lacey.
After Lacey walked, she didn't need Lissian spiritual magic to walk, as the trees would avoid it on their own.
Soon after that, when we arrived at every lake, Lacey faded away.
"Lacey, thanks for the directions."
I knew the Spirit could seriously disappear, so I properly thanked him, and then I was approaching the lake of purpose, talking from the Water Spirit in a mindset.
"I didn't expect you to come back as a wise man... and even the Spirit of Light and Darkness, the Witch"
The lake rose and a human-shaped water spirits appeared.
"Spirit of the water, without your counsel, I might have lost my master and my squire, and I could not have reached the wise so quickly. I really appreciate it."
I actually thought it was one of the complaints, but it was in my interest to save the Hatch people, and I was no longer a healer, and I could act without hesitation because I had that advice.
"I was also thankful for helping my family. Well, this time you mean the principality of Brange, or a peculiar with foresight skills? You don't want to go to the woods where the Elves live?
I guess the Spirit of Water is the longest of the Spirits to discern exactly what this one came for.
"That peculiar...... I know the reincarnated are in the Grand Adventurer's Guild, but not prophecies, are they foresight?
'Um, it's something that makes me see a future that can happen. Of course it's possible to avoid it, but if some possibility doesn't work, I'll keep it centered, so it's not a mistake in prophecy.'
That was a more vicious skill than I thought......
"The witch... that doesn't crush her spirit?
"If you're at Adventurer Alliance headquarters, you'll be fine, but that's a skill that anyone who's otherwise prepared to throw all over the world can acquire. If you can, I suggest you seal your skills and do it. And what the sage's concern won't happen '
So just because you're a reincarnator, doesn't it ever happen weird?
Nevertheless, in a way, I feel that the reincarnator is only unhappy...
"By the way, do you know where a peculiar person I don't know is?
"... from this Yenis to the West, I am still living safely, and I have already found and lived a partner in this world"
The Spirit of Water gave me a little thought before answering that.
... How envious.
Still, on the western side of the blank zone, there was still a world where people could live.
But now you're saved that you don't have anything like fighting the reincarnators.
"One last thing I wanted to ask you. How could I have predicted that I would visit here again when I was desperate?
It was Forenoir and the Spirit of Darkness who answered my question like that.
'Cause the Spirit of Water has a vision of the future... I don't know if it's about the person I looked at directly'
"Instead of being able to move places easily, he is a muzzled peeper who has his own split with his family to gather information... not at the heart of it"
"Become!? Ladies, why are you so poisonous for a long reunion?"
I do agree with that, too.
Even though the usual Forenoir or Dark Spirit doesn't look like this, it hits the Water Spirit hard.
"Do you know that the Spirit of the Water, the Spirit Stone, is collected in the Duchy of Brange?
"Oh. Are you trying to collect spiritual stones and summon the Great Spirit?
Hmm? That's not what you're saying about the infiltrators in the Kingdom of Ruburg.
"You know that a magic guide is being developed to absorb spirits from spiritual stones, right?
'... I don't have that information. The light dragon was summoned but...... BE!? Oh, my God.'
"What's going on?
When the water spirits are surprised, they become very anxious.
"I'm trying to enslave the Light Dragon"
'... there's no way a man can enslave a dragon, has the leader of that country really gone crazy?
But from Forenoir, something pressing comes through.
'... it seems that this is why they are collecting spiritual stones, but fortunately those who instruct them are missing. And there's something wrong with Kowloon, but he's not enslaved.'
Apparently he's still fine, but if we're fighting for a moment, shouldn't we go to Brange first?
'... Okay, then look at Luciel'
'Fine. There's just some witches, and let's get some help.'
"What, it's me?
Lydia was surprised when she suddenly shook up, but she snorted firmly there.
"Witch, I will accept your covenant according to the old covenant."
When the words were heard, Lydia emitted water colors.
'I'm sorry, but can I have the Spirit summon you?
"Yes. [Aqua the Spirit of Water, according to the ancient covenant, manifest my magic in food]"
Lydia had already heard it beforehand from the Spirit of the Wind, fully grasped the chant and mouthed it without getting lost.
Then, as the water appeared vortexed like a tornado, it gradually approached the form of man, and the spirit of the complete human form of water appeared.
"Well, it's been a long time since I've manifested myself, so I'd like to play... but soon, I'll let you see the future of the wise man"
The water spirits peered into my eyes in a way that succumbed to the pressure of Forenoir and the Dark Spirit.
Then for a minute or so, when we stared at each other, the Spirit of the Water turned into an eye to see the poor thing.
I don't know... I'm so curious.
"What do you say?
"... you are right to go to the foot of the Dragon Valley. That's where the Kowloon problem can be completely solved..."
Apparently, there's no change of destination.
"How far did you see it?
……
"Become!? Couscous, heh, is that true?
"Yeah, Luciel the Wise, I only have one piece of advice."
Nodding to Forenoir, the Water Spirit seems to give new advice.
"Let me hear it"
"We need to work out desperately at the foot of the Dragon Valley... the peace of your heart will not be here for long."
"What does that mean?
Much better than the previous despair awaited, but for a while the Spirit felt like it was worth a man's life.
"That's what I hear from my partner."
The Spirit of Water then didn't answer any questions I might have, and I just talked to Lydia a little bit and disappeared on the spot.
"Luciel, let's get to where we need to go."
"Hey, buddy, you don't hide things from your partner, do you?
'Luciel, if you're my partner, don't worry about the little things, but do your best to move forward. Then I'll tell you someday.'
Huh - apparently you won't tell me, so when I tried to turn back, there were a bunch of water colored demon stones piled up in front of Lician.
"Dear Luciel, the Spirit of Water has bid you farewell"
"... let's go home in a magic bag"
"Yes."
Thus the second encounter with the Spirit of the Water ended once again with a mocking feeling.
We decided to head back to the airship, not knowing why Forenoir laughed so much or why he was still laughing with the Dark Spirit.
