Possessing Nothing

Rubia doesn't know what to do, but chases after Lee. Lee Sung-min shrugged his shoulders with a spear and recalled the fight a while ago.

It is said to be the Spirit King of the Wind, but it is weaker than I thought. Sung-min did not feel a crisis in the fight with Sylphide.

His winds and storms did not pierce Lee's self-defense, nor did they give him a small whiff.

“Are the spiritual kings so weak in nature? ”

“No way.”

Rubia, who was following Lee Sung-min, replied inevitably.

“Sylphide was not a power source just now. which, to be precise, was a power failure. The power of the Spirit King is added to the power of the Ruling Spirit. It scrapes even the lowest wind spirits and stirs up the wind. ”

In the spirit world, Sylphide would have been able to use power, but not here. Sudden space erosion succeeded in bringing down the Spirit King Sylphid, but the other Wind Spirits did not.

“Over time, Sylphide would have grown stronger. Because the Wind Spirit King creates Wind Spirits by itself. Especially here, Mount Yuzukia is home to Wind Spirits. ”

Rubia reaches out for the gust of wind.

“…… well, it doesn't matter now. He was recalled before he could fully regain his original power. ”

“You're cooperating.”

“It's because of you! ”

Rubia shoots you in the eye with tears. Seong-min continued to ask while smiling.

“Why don't you tell me a little bit more about how things turned out? Rubia doesn't want to die unfairly either. ”

“Why is this happening to me? ”

“Didn't I tell you? Some son of a bitch is playing with the fate of the world. All the fucking coincidences that we don't understand, that shouldn't be like this, are because of that son of a bitch. Neither did Rubia's master. ”

Lee Sung-min frowns.

“Didn't Sylphid tell you? All the spirits have found out that Rubia is a traitor. Are you still going to die? ”

“I don't want to betray her. ”

“And you still want to help me? ”

“…… The queen is trying to destroy the world. ”

Rubia shrugs.

“…… I don't like that. ”

Rubia's feelings and situation were complicated. She is a man-made statute created by the Queen of Spirits and cannot be opposed to her because she is her creation.

Since birth, I've been living with Envirus and acting together. Even though Abel killed Abel and consequently arranged for the Spirit Queen to run wild.

Envirus really wanted to stop the end of the world.

“Grandpa... is dead, too. You want me to be okay. ”

Rubia stops. Lee Sung-min, who was walking earlier, looked back at Rubia.

“In any way, I have to die. ”

Rubia mutters in a depressed voice.

“I am an injustice created by the Queen of Spirits. If he calls, he must be summoned there at all times. And if the Spirit Queen dies, I die. Just like the queen didn't have to kill me. ”

“I can fix that. ”

Scarlet's voice echoes as he listens to the story.

“I don't know what's going on. You say you're a spirit, but you look more like a minister. Then we'll find a new owner. If you want, I can sign a contract with you and make you a minister. ”

Rubia's eyes widen with sudden suggestions.

“That's a complete betrayal of the Queen...! ”

“What has the Queen done for Rubia? ”

The question of Lee Sung-min blocked Rubia's words.

“Given Rubia's attitude, I don't think she's that loyal to the queen. Rubia is only following the queen because of her position, and she has little empathy for what she wants to do. ”

Rubia lowers her head in silence. I had to.

For Rubia, the Queen of Spirits was not a kind mother.

In the beginning, the existence of Rubia was merely an existence that when Envirus was in crisis, he made it into a mortal role instead of Envirus.

“We don't have time. ”

Seong-min urged me.

“The queen's nature has not yet arrived, but after her arrival, Rubia loses her freedom of action. ”

“…… Okay. ”

After much thought, Rubia answers powerlessly.

“But know this: If I return from the Artificial Fairness Act to the Servant Horse, I will be disconnected from the Queen. I don't even know where she is. ”

“Let's hear it now, then. Where is she? ”

“…… You haven't come yet. He must be drifting through space. ”

“If so, you may not be able to come down. ”

“That's not possible. because the hole that was drilled by the imperfect space erosion is so small that it just hasn't come in yet. He's a big spirit. ”

That said, Lee Sung-min remembered the Queen of Spirits whimpering to pass through the tiny hole.

[Bullshit.]

I ignored the idle whining.

After Rubia's decision, Scarlet goes straight to work. The advantage was that the Spirit Queen left the Spirit System and wandered between spaces.

This was due to the thinning of the spiritual connection between Rubia and the Queen of Spirits.

Because of this, the contract of the minister consisted of four thousand. Rubia, the Fair Spirit, was more of a workhorse than a spirit, so after disconnecting her spiritual connection with the Queen of Spirits, she made a new contract with Scarlet.

“Four spots in Eria, including here and the Yuzukia Mountains, each represent a historical spirit. ”

The squatting rubia opens her mouth.

“The spirit of water in Lake Cheneron. In the ruins of Dahar, the Spirit of Earth. There are a lot of Fire Spirits in the Femoud Volcano. ”

“Did the Spirit King come there, too? ”

“I... I don't know. ”

“What about the Fairy Queen? ”

“He will probably come to the sleeping forest. Maybe not yet.”

Rubia says that and pouts her lips.

“…… and, it's late. Thank you... for getting it. ”

At that, Lee Sung-min smiled.

“I'm glad I didn't have to fight Rubia. ”

“Shouldn't have been a fight. ”

Rubia grumbles. Lee Sung-min calls for information about Lake Cheneron, the Dahar Ruins and the Pyramid volcano. And he summoned the elf horse before he could bring the answer.

“It's been a long time since I saw Lloyd. ”

The group climbs onto the fairy horse. Rubia chose to turn into a tiny sphere of light as before, rather than into a narrow one. Scarlet looks at it as if he didn't deserve it.

“I am your master, why are you going into his arms? ”

“I'm... I'm used to it. I don't even know... ”

Rubia is surprised by Scarlet's point. Scarlet puffs his cheeks, but doesn't say anything else.

Rather, she grimaces at the grave-looking excavation. I didn't even give her a look, knowing that Yana was doing it for the hangover.

“Are you okay? ”

“What do you mean? ”

“Okay, okay. A healthy woman is just like me. Or is this the latest trend? ”

“I don't know what you're talking about. ”

“No, it's the grumbling of a narrow woman. ”

Scarlet grunts and folds his arms.

The golden tower is located in Lubes. Where to meet up with Wijihoen.

When I arrived in Rubes, Rubia trembled a little in Lee Sung-min's arms.

It was like when I first came here with the miners. The first time I rode a train, I was surprised to learn about the Mine Garden Horse and Rubia, who was hovering in front of him. At that time, Lee Sung-min was clear.

Only when I first came to Rubes. Lee Sung-min had high expectations. It was because I thought I would be able to reunite without incident with Wiji Hoenn.

It was in the past. Rubia and I came back to Rubes, but the mineral horse was not there.

“Poor Lloyd. ”

On the way to the Golden Horse Tower, Scarlet mutters.

“Ten years ago, the Wizard's Guild Master died. The guild master's will has been revealed. It contained information about transferring all the artifacts to Lloyd, the golden steed, and appointing him to be the Guild Master of the Kicking Wizard. ”

“…… But Lloyd is still in the Golden Horse Rack, right? ”

“That's why I feel sorry for you. ”

Scarlet sighs.

“The old dogs of the Senate desperately opposed Lloyd to make him head of the Wizard's Guild. That's why the guild leader was low in age, experience, magic, and poor research performance. Actually, I wasn't very wrong. Lloyd had no clear grumbling like any other wizards, and he hardly studied him. ”

I didn't know that story.

“Lloyd didn't react much either. I can't help it if I don't want to. And then he said he was happy with the golden horse racket. ”

“Then who is the current guild leader of the Wizard? ”

“The elders sought to appoint the most well-distributed Green Horse Race to the Guild Master. But the Green Horseman refused. The old man is quite normal, unlike he looks. After all, the Guild Master has been vacancy for ten years. ”

Scarlet grimaces and grunts.

“The elders are jointly in place of the Wizard's Guild, but what better way is there for the elders to fill my greed? I ran out of arrogance, so I left the Wizard's Guild. Lloyd must still be in the Wizard's Guild. ”

So, why do you want to meet Lloyd?

Scarlet tilts his head and asks.

“I need to check something out. ”

Abel is dead.

Abel did not bring Lloyd in the fight with Kim Jong-hyun, even though he was carrying Lloyd around.

Abel said he left it because it was useless, but he didn't think of it that way.

Pretty soon, I was convinced by what Scarlet just said.

Abel gives all of his belongings to Lloyd.

Maybe Gries, too.

Standing in front of the golden tower, Lee Sung-min tried to knock on the door. But before that, the door opened. Lee looked inside, surprised.

“Perfect timing. ”

Lloyd stands beyond the door. He was wearing a golden robe and looking at Lee Sung-min with an old face.

“Did you know? ”

“I didn't use Griess. I just checked inside the observations lying around the tower. ”

It also means that Lloyd has what Abel left of Gries.

“I was wondering when I'd be back. ”

Lee Sung-min realized something. There was no one here but Lloyd in the golden tower.

“Other people...? ”

“They sent it back. The golden tower will no longer be a steed. Everyone complained a lot, but they understood me when I said it out loud. If I lay down my life without dying, I will reap them. ”

If you lay down your life.

“It's been a long 10 years. ”

Lloyd speaks in a grave voice.

“I didn't know much, and what I didn't know was written in Abel's will. I saw what I didn't know through Griess. I've spent quite a lot of my life. ”

Lloyd's eyes turned towards Lee. He smiles bitterly at Rubia in Lee Sung-min's arms.

“Griess can see everything. You can barely see the future, but the present and the past can see almost everything. ”

“…… What did you see? ”

“Things I don't know. How my master died, how Abel died. What you are, what happened. ”

In return, he gave a long life, but Lloyd didn't think it was a waste.

“What have you come to ask? ”

“…… about what's happening in the world right now. ”

“Griess might be able to answer that. ”

Lloyd smiles faintly.
