"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
A few hours after the Rays watched...... when it was time for the evening, screams were raised from those who were inadvertently doing mining work.
When I first heard that, I thought that maybe the enemy… Dragonias appeared, but Ray immediately understood what was causing that cry, realizing that it was not feelings such as fear and anger that were contained in that voice, but feelings such as joy and surprise.
Did you find it?
The cry now...... or the roar, was an underground presence in the place where it was being mined...... I wonder if the power of the earthly Spirit made it an unusually dark cause to dig into the existence that Dragonias is craving.
"I'm going to see what's going on! Watch out for that area because something relating to the earthly spirits has been dug out and Dragonias may come attracted to it!
Shouting that out to Centaur, who was a little far away, Ray heads to the mining site.
Then, naturally, the faces of Vihera, Anastasia and Fana were also about to head from their places of watch to their mining places.
I knew you'd come.
"Naturally. Something about the earth spirits has been dug up? What are you gonna do without me looking at that?"
Anastasia tells me that with confidence and so on.
As the person says, the spiritual magic user is currently here… I mean, the only spiritual expert is Anastasia, which is an unmistakable fact.
However, it is understandable to Ray that Anastasia needs to clearly confirm what she has discovered.
But I'm curious... no, I can't honestly snort if Anastasia, who is too busy, finds something more interesting and asks me to look into it.
(Well, still, I'll have to leave it to Anastasia after all)
It was possible that something Anastasia found in a strange imitation would be something like an anomaly, but that's why Ray, whose knowledge of the Spirit is only to the extent that he heard a little bit about Spirit Magic from the Marina, can't do anything about what he found.
Worst of all, if something of it is not alive, there are ways to store it inside the mysteries and shelf the problem...
After all, it was only shelving, let alone letting Anastasia take care of this place, more than just not knowing what the hell would happen if you shelved it.
That's how when they arrive at the place where they were doing the mining work, the Centaurs see the Rays coming or open the place.
Even for the Centaurs, they wanted to show the Rays something they unearthed as soon as they could.
That's how the Rays headed forward saw...
"This... what? Black gems?"
Yes, that was the kind of substitute you deserve to call a black gem.
Ray is not familiar with gemstones, so I don't know what kind of black gemstones there are.
But the way Ray saw it, it was round... it was like a true sphere... and yes, it was a black pearl.
Nevertheless, if the pearl is about the size of a fingertip, the giant black sphere at the end of Ray's gaze is over a meter in diameter.
Even for Ray, who is not familiar with gems, it was understandable that pearls of such size do not exist.
"This is... awesome"
That's what Anastasia tells you next to Ray.
However, the tone was caged with tremors.
It was totally unexpected, even for Ray, that Anastasia, who has a high level of curiosity and deserves the expression "chunk of curiosity," would react as such by looking at the material capable of exercising that curiosity to the fullest.
Nevertheless, given the current situation, there may be no choice in that either.
Once again, Ray sees the giant black gem that exists at the end of his gaze.
(Gems...... are they really gems? No, well, I'm pretty sure it looks like a gem)
The existence of a black true sphere is such as if it were the absorption of light itself.
If you look at it, it definitely only looks like a gem. Definitely... but I can tell you it's made of curiosity. If I saw how Anastasia looked like this, I'm pretty sure that wasn't just a gem.
(I mean, gems are usually excavated with raw stones or something, and you scrape them and apply your hands to make them gems. The fact that the existence of such a huge true sphere was buried in the ground as it was...... think normally, it's impossible)
Near where Ray lived in Japan, there was a river.
In the summer it was a place where river fish such as bamboo, sea turtles and Ivana could be caught... but some of the stones there were cornered and rounded because it was the wear and tear along the way flowing from upstream and hitting other stones.
Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure that remains only the shape of the stone I want to flatten, so there was no such thing as becoming a true sphere like the one currently at the end of Ray's gaze.
Minutes watching such a pitch-black true sphere, eventually wondering if it was time, Ray calls out to Anastasia.
"So, Anastasia. You know what this is?
"... Huh? Yeah, right. I can never say it is... but I think it's probably a spiritual egg or something"
"Spirit eggs? Spirits are born of eggs?
That was the first story I've heard for Ray as well.
As a spiritual wizard, I've heard a lot from a very skilled marina. It was Ray, but still, this one was totally unexpected.
And Anastasia's words that the Spirit comes from an egg were also dyeing the look on Vihera's face, who was listening nearby, not just to Ray.
"No, not exactly. Spirits don't come from eggs. Eggs of the Spirit… yes, if you say so, it's a convenient expression."
"For convenience? Because this egg is not a spiritual egg in the true sense?
"It will. Precisely a spirits that for some reason have been extremely depleted of their power… it is not just a spirits, but rather superior spirits sleeping to restore their power. I was in the ground because this spiritual egg is a dirt spirit, but the other spirits sleep where they belonged... Apparently."
Anastasia also has quite an arm as a spiritual wizard.
But if you ask me if that's why I have more information about the Spirit, the answer is no.
Still, I had a lot of information about this egg, so I figured out some of the circumstances.
For example, if it's a Spirit of Fire, it's in an active volcano magma, if it's a Spirit of Water, it's the bottom of a sea or a lake, if it's a Spirit of Wind, it's a place of strong wind blowing... etc.
"So, the power of the earthy spirits around here is that thick... like this egg hatches?
"Not right now, but given how this looks, you're going to be hatching before it's that far away. Nevertheless, if there was a settlement, there would have been a lot of problems... but this settlement nowadays would be useless anymore, wouldn't it? Then I guess you don't have to worry about it."
Ray wonders how to react to that word, whether it should be appeased or if it will have any effect on this settlement in the near future.
"I ask you once, can't you move this spirited egg somewhere or something like that?
"I can't."
It was the words of Vihera, who was listening to the two conversations, but Anastasia's words were simple and lucid and immediately denied it.
As far as Anastasia's attitude was concerned, he indicated that he was not very capable of such imitation.
"If you imitate something like that around the corner, you don't know what's going to happen."
"... wait, so I just dug this out, and it doesn't make any sense?
"It makes sense. Thanks to this egg, I know what's going on here... and it's only for those other than the Spirit Wizard that it's hard to move.... but when I do it, it gets pretty tough."
"Specifically?
"I need to concentrate on this egg, so I can't fight Dragonias for now."
"That's... well, trouble is hard, but it's not that fatal or anything"
To Ray's words, Vihera nods in agreement as well.
The power of Anastasia, the Spirit Wizard, is effective when fighting Dragonias.
In relation to being dominated by hunger, many dragonias can only act simple, with special exceptions like commanders.
When that happens, Anastasian spiritual magic exerts a very great power.
In fact, even when Ray found Anastasia, Anastasia was magically stopping the dragonias coming after her and letting her fall like an avalanche.
Thanks to that, Ray's attack was able to get a glimpse of Dragonias.
If Centaur alone were to fight Dragonias, Anastasian spiritual magic would be a great force.
But here is a man of strength who fights multiple dragonias by himself and is just overwhelmed.
That's not just Ray, either, but Vihera and Seto combined for two and one.
There are those who possess such strength that even if Anastasian spiritual magic cannot be used, there is no problem.
... With Anastasia, it was an unmistakable fact that Dragonias could have cleaned up easily when he attacked us.
"Well, I'll devote myself to this spiritual egg."
With that said, Anastasia has a grin on her mouth.
I am still nervous because of the intense power of the Spirit drifting from the Spirit's eggs, but at the same time there is a light of curiosity in those eyes as strong as I am nervous.
Try anastasia, and that will inspire your curiosity to the point that there is no more to look into the eggs of the Spirit.
Ray knew that too, but it is nevertheless an unmistakable fact that Anastasia is the only person who can be entrusted with the eggs of the Spirit, given the current situation.
If only there was a marina.
Though I think so, Marina can do nothing more than be in Elgin.
If I knew this would be the situation, that's what brought me here properly...... that would be even more of a story now.
If so, we have to do something with the force we have.
"Still... glad you had me when you dug out the eggs of the Spirit. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have known what this was, would you? Because it could have been the worst thing that ever happened."
"... that's undeniable."
In fact, if you dig the ground of the settlement in the absence of Anastasia and the eggs of the Spirit come out of it, Ray thinks about what's going on and the actions he needs to take.
Rejected as a top priority would still be something like leaving it alone.
From the eggs of the Spirit, even Ray can tell... I can understand that it is not the power of the Spirit, but still has some power.
If you find such a presence without knowing anything, what is wrong with you?
Possible possibilities are… if you don't know what an egg is, do you mean to store it in mystering?
But if, as a result, such imitation is not possible - it is subtle whether or not to recognize the Spirit as life - there was a good chance that he decided it was dangerous as it is and tried to destroy it.
That's why Ray couldn't deny what Anastasia said.
"Right. I don't think I was going to destroy it right away, but I don't think there's any way I could deny it."
"Isn't it? If you'd done that, you wouldn't know what the hell would have happened. Worst case scenario, the area could have vanished. In that sense, don't you think I was lucky to be here for Ray, too?
It is true that it did not become a major problem because Anastasia was there.
Ray knew that too, so he snorts honestly.
"Right."
"For that reason... anyway, I'll follow my instructions to move the Spirit's eggs to the ground first.... okay? Follow my instructions as I use the power of the Spirit to calm my eggs."
To Anastasia's words, the Centaurs look at Ray.
For Ray, Anastasia is trustworthy - curiosity runs wild from time to time - but that's only because Ray knows Anastasia very well.
For Centaur outside of Damran's settlement, Anastasia would be an impossible story to honestly trust than she is the first person she has just met today.
But... I saw Ray snorted, which the Centaurs believe, and for the time being, this place started to act, trying to follow Anastasia.
