Spirits and Spirits influence each other.

If a spirit evolves from lower to intermediate, higher, and higher, you will also be influenced and evolved.

So what would you do if the Spirit King became the ultimate evolution of the Spirit King who became the subject of Mother Nature?

What if the spirit becomes complete, you?

Wouldn't you be a complete being too?

I was tempted.

I tried to read it lightly, but it wasn't a normal book.

I thought I might have a clue about how to become a higher spirit.

⁄ You have never heard of a Spirit Master summoning a Spirit King. That wouldn't have existed in the first place. No being in the material system would dare summon the Spirit King, the vessel of nature's will.

But that's actually the wrong perspective.

You cannot summon the Spirit King because you are incomplete.

With the spirit, you should gradually grow and progress towards perfection. When a spirit is made complete by evolving into a Spirit King, you become as complete as ever.

I dare say, I don't think there's ever been a Spirit King.

However, since they have become complete, they no longer need to exist in the material system. It is not the painful existence of a living soldier trapped in a material form, but it has become a complete and free spiritual system.

Now you must understand why the Elves taught humans spirituality.

Necromancy is not a technique that summons spirits to do things. It is not a means by which spirits can make you happy.

It is a great academic and blessing to make you incomplete.

All my life I considered my beloved spirit to be my dead son. My silk was willing to be a substitute for my son, for me, who had lost his son.

But it wasn't until the end of the year that I realized the true nature of Silf.

Out of the materiality that I wanted to see, like my son, I learned why Silf came to me and why there was animosity.

When I knew where I was going, I tried to understand the spirit's sincerity rather than just looking at it the way I wanted to see it, and I became a superior spirit.

So you have to try. Don't force the Spirit to do only what you want. Try to understand the spirit. Then you will be with me.

― Raul Ligand ―

Raul Ligand?

Oh, my God!

You mean the book of Raul Ligand, the one and only Supreme Cognitive?

I've never heard of him leaving a book.

Surprised, I ran to Julia and asked her.

“Julia, where did you get this book? ”

“Every book in the Lord's Library was acquired by a bookkeeper. I ordered as many books as I could about business and aesthetics as I could, but I never got a good look at what they were. ”

“Okay, okay. ”

I couldn't tell if the author of this book was really Raul Ligand or the impostor who impersonated him.

But I also thought it might be a real Raul ligand.

He meant what he said about being a fraud, and Raul Ligand was a freelance drifter who had never been promoted to public service in a particular country. His specific accomplishments are not in any record.

Because of this, it was likely that even if I had left a book somewhere, it would not have been known.

It was no wonder that his unknown book wandered around through the bookshelves and arrived in my study.

“Good. Let's follow this book for a while! ”

I decided to go back to my room and open the book. I turned the page and found the item I wanted.

⁄ In order to evolve from Intermediate to Advanced Spirits, you must think of the following:

The spirit is connected to you and your soul, allowing you to know everything you see, hear, feel and think about. Perhaps as an Intermediate Spirit, you can convey your thoughts to the Spirit without having to tell him.

- Don't you think you can do the opposite?

Why should only a spirit count your heart?

Do you think you can't see, hear, feel and think from the perspective of a Spirit?

If you really think so, you're a man trapped in a self-centered, materialistic shell.

Try to see, hear, feel and think from your Spirit's perspective. And remember, the great will of Mother Nature that I felt for a moment when I first signed the contract.

If you succeed, you'll be able to become a higher spirit and see the world with your spirit's senses. How much difference does it make to the time when it was just a mortal, when it was just a mortal, when you became a higher spirit? That freedom! A fantasy world not seen with the human sense of "trapped"!

“All right. Let's do it. ”

I first summoned the spirits.

- Did you call him?

- Hey.

- Heheh heh! I want to burn the house down!

The three spirits appeared according to their personality.

I looked at the oldest of them with me.

“Noum, sit in front of me. ”

- Yeah, Dad.

gnome sat in front of me and faced me. When his eyes met, he smiled at what was so good.

I laughed, too, because such anger was so cute.

- Me too...

Wounded comes at me and circles around me. I meant to ask you to be a part of it.

I stroked Wounded's head and asked for it.

“Just a moment, please. I'll do it with Woundee later. Okay?"

- …… Yes.

Woundee squats on the floor with a blurry face. The salamander only stole yawns badly, not caring about me.

I reached out to Noonum.

- Heheh heh.

Noonum reached out again, smiling widely to see if he had read my thoughts.

We touched each other's hands.

Warm and sweet...

As we did when we first entered into the spirit contract, we joined hands.

I want to feel it again.

The will of nature, the will of the earth, that we felt for a moment when our souls were connected. That would be gnome.

I wanted to know gnome.

I wanted to understand more about this cute, lovely and precious existence.

This was the first time I wanted to feel it from a point of view of something other than myself.

At that moment,

“ ……?! ”

It was very brief. For a brief moment, I felt a strange sensation.

It's like……!

“The sun rises. ”

A slight glance over the horizon reveals the sun beyond the window.

The pale face of young Yawin, staring at the moment of darkness, was as careless as a doll.

Behind his back was a young swordsman standing like a shadow.

“What are you thinking looking at that? ”

Emperor Kars asked.

Earl Halstein replied.

“Think about your future. ”

“Why do you think of my future? ”

“Because there's a future for me. ”

Emperor Kars chuckles.

It was a distorted doll's smile, with only the mouth's tail on its expressionless face.

A letter from the Horn Empire has arrived to the House of Leaden. I arrived at the late Duke Duron, the Chancellor, without any intermediary proceedings, because he was a friend of the neighboring monarch.

Duke Duron has taken it to King Erik.

“Your Grace, a letter from the emperor of the Horn Empire. ”

“Bring it.”

King Erik unseals the letter.

Reading the contents, King Eric's face hardens.

“Your Majesty, what is this about? ”

“The Horn Empire has marched to oppress the landscape, as promised. ”

“Glad to hear it.”

“The number of troops mobilized is……. ”

“I'm listening, Your Majesty. ”

King Erik bites his lower lip and says:

“That number, 100,000! ”

“Th, 100,000…?! ”

Duke Duron's complexion is pale.
