Taming Master

* * *

Puck-Pufolk-!

A murky sound that echoes through the quiet spiritual sanctuary.

- Quenching!

- Human, die!

- Locking us in a narrow place!

- Let me go!

Inside, like a botanical garden, there is a shadow that drives numerous spirits.

And a few miles away, two little shadows were talking.

“Kaka, what is the owner doing over there? ”

“I don't know. The original owner is hard to understand. ”

“It used to be weird, but it's a lot weirder today. ”

“Perhaps the owner enjoys the right things. ”

“Much, then...? ”

“Do you?”

“Would you like me to hit you? ”

“Well……. I don't know, maybe a lot. ”

“I hate that. If the owner beats me, it hurts a lot. ”

Conversation between an empty stomach lizard and a soybean turtle with a scalp.

Like many of Kakawa's conversations, Ian was being hit hard by spirits.

I don't know why, but if a stranger sees it, he'll think he's enjoying the right thing.

“By the way, why did you come back after your vacation? ”

“A lot?”

“We've all been jealous of you. I didn't expect you back so soon. ”

As soon as I entered the spirit system, I made a deal with Ian.) went somewhere alone.

Of course, it was to go to the Frost Cave to meet lots of people, but other summoners didn't know about it.

It was assumed that he had gone on vacation with Ian's permission, and everyone was jealous.

Kaká shakes his head, shaking his head a lot.

“I wasn't there to play. ”

“Then?”

“I've only been away for a short while to carry out a very important task. ”

Kaka, who heard a lot of stories, nodded his head with the expression, "Yes."

“As expected, I didn't think an evil master could just give you a vacation. ”

“Of course. The owner isn't very nice. ”

Many who were talking with Kaká looked at Ian, tearing a handful of the grass that had risen next to him.

Eating a lot of anything (?) The behavior was a habit that comes when something was motivated.

‘I need to inform the owner of this quickly. ’

A lot to learn from a lot of people.) information.

A lot of furious husks were trying to tell Ian about them.

* * *

Meanwhile, many and Kaka were chattering in the corner of the Spirit Sanctuary.

Ian was working on a very important and profound study.

A pervert who likes to be hit by a lot of Kakawa.), but in reality it was a little different from him.

‘Even the same level spirits of the same kind, their stats are everywhere. I don't need to insist on this quadrant spirit. ’

Being welcomed by many contaminated spirits and acting as a dill meter, analyzing their abilities.

In addition, a harmonious bead of harmony was captured and then compared to the good-looking individual, checking for detailed abilities.

‘A bead of harmony.... This is a very coveted object. ’

Spirit is a completely different concept than summoned water or magic.

Even a summoner or an animist, it was impossible to capture and contract a field spirit.

The only way an animist can contract with a Spirit is by summoning it.

As Ian was studying summoners, it was impossible to study spirits.

When I studied summoned water, I created a stats database with infinite capture and analyzed it, because it was impossible for a Spirit to supply such a large amount of water.

However, the item called the 'Bead of Harmony', which was first encountered through this quest, made such research possible.

If you trap a Spirit in a harmonious bead and put it into your inventory, you can see its ability.

Of course, locking them in beads does not allow them to contract with the spirit.

You can only use the Eventual Items, the 'Spirit of Babies Contract’ to contract with only one of them.

So Ian was going to ask Baby after this quest.

Where else can I get an item called the Bead of Harmony and the Spirit Contract?

Ian thought there must be a way to save them.

‘It's not going to be easy, of course. ’

Therefore, Ian began to use the beads of harmony with caution.

After hitting, beating, and analyzing their approximate abilities, they chose the most powerful spirit and used the beads of harmony.

- Capture failed.

- The bead of harmony will disappear.

- Capture failed.

…… approximate……

- You have successfully captured the Ice Spirit ‘Elle’ (Lv. 31)!

And after capturing a few spirits with the beads of harmony, one question began to make sense.

I wondered if I could get an extra reward for catching only eighty, but it turned out that I could fail to capture a hundred beads.

‘The more outstanding the individual, the more difficult it seems to capture……. ’

In doing so, Ian was more careful to capture the spirits.

Over time, tricks have emerged, allowing us to capture spirits with little to no failure.

“Now, I've decided to be you...! ”

- Use a ball of harmony.

- You have successfully captured the Spirit of Lake ‘Shimiru’ (Lv. 29)!

And just like that, half the time?

Ian's Nogada finally reached the end.

It reminds me of a good message that I have fulfilled the quest requirements.

- Number of Spirits Purified to Date (50/50)

- The conditions are met.

-If you return to the Spirit Guardian ‘Baby’ with the Orbs holding the Spirit, you can complete the 'Hide' quest!

After checking the message, Ian paused and opened his inventory.

‘Hmmm, once I've achieved the quest requirements... …. You have to go for an extra reward. ’

Capturing and purifying 50 spirits now.

Ian's inventory contained exactly 36 beads.

Considering Ian's increasingly improved capture proficiency, he was able to achieve up to 80 additional reward conditions.

But Ian thought about it.

It wasn't that I didn't covet the extra reward - Advanced Elemental Crystals and Transcendent Gear Crates - but I liked the idea of gambling on one thing.

‘Perhaps this marble of harmony.... Can we use it outside the Spirit Sanctuary? If that's the case, it would be better to leave beads and complete the quest than capture them here for an additional reward……. ’

Before trying out the beads of harmony for the first time, Ian thought of it as an event item.

However, as I went through the quest and captured the spirits myself, I realized that it might not be the case.

The Contaminated Spirits in the Sanctuary were not particularly special event monsters, and they were no different from the 'Contaminated’ Spirits in the field roaming the Spirit Mountain.

Ian thought there was no reason not to use these beads outside.

‘There are lots of ways to get Advanced Crystals or Equipment Crates, so if the gambling fails, it won't be a big waste. ’

After examining the spirits stored up in the inventory, Ian decided to leave the Spirit Sanctuary and walk towards the stamp.

There were a few that were good enough to impress, but writing the Spirit Contract was the idea of deciding after meeting the baby.

* * *

“Oh, Ian. You're back. So, have the spirits at the Sanctuary cleaned up as much as you can? ”

As a baby in the waiting room on the 30th floor of the stamp, he welcomed Ian back almost every day.

Whether it was because Ian had a high affinity for the Goral tribe, despite his two encounters with Ian, he was very kind to the baby.

“Yes, Master, as you said, I have brought the fifty Spirits from the Sanctuary. ”

“Haha, excellent. I've never tried harmonizing beads before, but you completed a mission with 100 of them. ”

“Haha, it was a bit difficult, but my skill level increased. ”

“Well done. You're a brother of our Goral race. ”

With a satisfactory smile and a baby approaching Ian.

Seeing him like that, Ian swallowed a dry saliva.

‘This is where it matters. ’

Ian will now hand over fifty Contaminated Spirits from his inventory to complete the quest.

Perhaps the moment babies received it, the quest would be completed, and what would be the remaining beads of harmony and spirit contracts after that would matter.

‘Ask the baby once or just hand over the spirits you don't know...' ’

But when Ian was having second thoughts,

Baby opened his mouth first and cleared the problem.

“Oh, and you. How many beads of harmony do you have left? ”

Ian is embarrassed by the question of an unexpected baby.

“Yes, I left a few. I was going to ask you... ”

When Ian saw Ian answering in cold sweat, he smiled and opened his mouth again.

“You've worked hard to help me, so I'll give them to you as a gift. ”

“Oh, really? ”

“Yes. Perhaps you can save the poor Contaminated Spirits roaming the Spirit Mountain with the remaining beads." ”

“Oh.”

Then, as a baby, he brought up the story of the Spirit Contract as if he had looked into Ian's mind.

“And do you, by any chance, still have the Spirit Contract? ”

So far, Ian has decided to just tell the baby everything honestly.

It was because I had a feeling that it would only decrease my intimacy with NPCs.

“Yes, I actually wanted to ask you for some advice as a baby. ”

“What advice do you give? ”

“I wanted to ask which of the spirits I had brought to be purified…. I was wondering if I could use this contract on another Spirit of Spirit Mountain. ”

As a baby who heard Ian's story, he burst into laughter.

“Haha, you must be a celestial animist. If you were a curious animist, you'd have to wonder. ”

Then the baby, who had been moxed for a while, slowly spoke again.

“In conclusion, it is possible. ”

“ ……! ”

“That's how it was made to be used. ”
