One-Eyed Monster

Igor’s question came at just the right moment.

This also fully indicates that Igor has been pondering over the matter of this spirit creator.

Now, these expressions from the Spirit Books can be said to be completely contradictory, which naturally arouses Igor’s doubts.

Kadi’s reaction was a bit slower than Igor’s, so only at this moment did he fully understand the significance of Igor’s previous question.

Now both of them are waiting for the Spirit Books’ explanation.

Whether they are being played with depends on how the Spirit Books respond.

"I must say, your mind is really sharp, things are left for those who are prepared, no wonder Lord Soron placed a Spirit Power seal on this regret!"

"Stop saying these useless things!" Igor rudely interrupted the Spirit Books’ narrative, as his question hadn’t been answered yet, and these Spirit Books started to change the topic, which he considered disrespectful to his question.

"Don’t worry, we certainly won’t play people, especially in the face of Devouring Power, we don’t have the guts!" The Spirit Books were completely relaxed at this moment, and the fear that Kadi had instilled in them seemed to have vanished completely!

"Answer my question, what’s really going on with these contradictory statements? We don’t have time to waste with you, if you’re playing us, don’t blame me then!"

"We said, we don’t have the guts!"

"Yes, yes, our power is not enough to contend with you, how dare we play tricks on you!"

"That’s uncertain, maybe your mood swings!" Igor shrugged, still feeling a little distrustful towards these Spirit Books at this moment.

It’s also quite strange, Igor noticed an interesting phenomenon, which is that every time these Spirit Books unlock a secret, it triggers his doubts, it’s been like this several times, the trust established earlier seemed to completely disappear after a new secret was unlocked.

For example, this time, after starting the exploration of Lord Soron’s regret, the trust relationship between him and the Spirit Books seemed to need to be re-established.

"Then why don’t you say, what’s actually going on with the contradictory statements! This is the second time I’ve asked, don’t make me ask a third time!"

Igor seemed to have issued an ultimatum, which made the Spirit Books tense up a bit.

"What now, feeling afraid, I haven’t even let Kadi speak to chastise you yet!" Igor found the appearance of the Spirit Books quite amusing, if he didn’t comfort them a bit, it seemed these Spirit Books would auto-flip pages for a long while, this trembling auto-page flipping was absolutely hilarious.

Suddenly the Spirit Books with fear in their hearts didn’t dare to be careless, only one-tenth of this fear came from Igor, the remaining nine-tenths came entirely from Kadi, although Kadi had not yet expressed his inner conflict, the power from his body made these Spirit Books defenseless!

Now Kadi was emanating that Devouring Power, making these Spirit Books tremble.

"If you make me ask this question a third time..."

"We didn’t do it on purpose!" The Spirit Books interrupted Igor, although they were afraid of Kadi, towards Igor they seemingly held a special mission, as if if Igor left them, they would become worthless, their attitude towards Igor was very concerned, which made Igor a bit surprised.

"He has Devouring Power within him, this power constantly restrains our kind of low-level Spirit Entity, you, a special Spirit Entity, might not feel it!"

Igor felt these Spirit Books were opening new doors for him, many concepts were ones he was hearing for the first time, not to mention the unfamiliarity of these things, the novelty upon first hearing them was enough for Igor to digest for a long time, let alone many things he still didn’t know how to process.

Spirit creator, Devouring Power, Spirit Entity... these concepts were already quite convoluted, but now a special Spirit Entity emerged, leaving Igor unable to remain calm.

"Can you express it clearly, this is really too difficult to understand!" Igor expressed the troubling puzzle in his mind, hoping the Spirit Books would comprehend his plight.

"Make him go away first, or we can’t communicate with you normally." The Spirit Books thus proposed a condition.

This condition seemed reasonable, but now with Igor and Kadi both in the carriage, how to make Kadi leave! So this condition couldn’t actually be fulfilled.

Igor looked at Kadi, then at the Spirit Books, deeply troubled by this issue.

Kadi apparently saw through it, these Spirit Books weren’t planning to obediently reveal the truth, and more crucially, these Spirit Books were simply not threatened, though they held immense fear towards Kadi, they did not yield under such fear...

This made Kadi somewhat admire them.

Kadi, seeing Igor’s difficulty, understood his troubles and patted Igor’s shoulder: "Okay then, I’ll just take a nap for now, maybe it’ll help them a bit, but you must promise me to tell me what exactly they fear about me!"

Igor gratefully looked at Kadi, not knowing what to say.

"Alright, alright, I know, I think you’ll grasp this opportunity well." After saying this, Kadi closed his eyes.

Igor at this moment eagerly looked towards these Spirit Books.

"You should know, this Devouring Power can strip the Spirit Power from us at any time, they wouldn’t understand right from wrong!"

The more Igor listened, the more confused he became, but he had to keep listening with such confusion, for now, he was the seeker of answers.

"We also know that there are many things you currently have no clue about, but please believe, we will surely keep the promise to tell you what we know."

Once Kadi fell asleep, these Spirit Books indeed became active, speaking more and more, and the amount of information increased significantly.

Igor finally understood, this Devouring Power was indeed a disaster to these Spirit Books, but what exactly is this Devouring Power, Igor still did not know. Igor could only listen earnestly at the moment, hoping to keep up with the pace, as what the Spirit Books said was really too unfamiliar, at least he had no concept of these in his current understanding.

No matter what, Igor now resembled a child attentively listening to lectures, hoping the Spirit Books would give him a clear answer.

Though the possibility of this hope being realized was slim, after all, these Spirit Books didn’t know everything.
