Episode 636
As the number of wizards who made contracts with low-level spirits was considerable, spirits were more familiar and familiar to the people of the empire than they thought.
If you just open a fairy tale right now, there are many stories about a child in danger escaping by talking to a spirit.
However, if you look closely, most of these stories were fiction. Ordinary people could not communicate with spirits.
The spirits were from a completely different dimension, and a strong contract or magic was needed to overcome the wall.
An example of this was when Lee Han could not recognize the true name of the spirit that had immediately made a contract with the Pengelin family.
Like Perkuntra, Lee Han, who made a contract with a powerful spirit who can communicate with humans through his own power, cannot recognize the name unless he is of the Pengerin family.
But is it possible to innately speak spirit language?
“You can speak the language of spirits… What kind of magic are you researching, Arsil?!”
“You are not a wizard.”
“what?!!!”
Alcicle was even more surprised than when he heard that Arsil was innately capable of speaking the spirit language.
Even though he has such extraordinary talent, he is not a wizard.
“why!?”
“Because you’re not interested in magic?”
Arsil shrugged his shoulders and said something. Lee Han heard that and relayed his words.
“I didn’t have much talent for magic.”
“……”
Alcicle almost screamed, asking what he was talking about.
Being able to manipulate spirits like that is enough, but being able to turn heaven and earth upside down with just one finger is a talent?!
“oh. no. haha. no way. “That’s too much praise.”
“What did you say?”
“Compared to me, you don’t have any talent for magic… Don’t listen too much to this. “My brother praised me so much for being a guest.”
‘hmm. I think that might be true.’
Alcicle unconsciously agreed in his heart.
Except for being loved by the spirits, it seemed unlikely that the blood of the Wardanaz family in front of him would be any better at magic than Lee Han.
“How on earth can one innately speak the language of spirits? “It must be difficult for mixed spirit spirits as well…”
Alcicle muttered with a shocked look on his face.
Among the spirit hybrids, those who inherited very strong spirit characteristics often showed their differences by having as*xual characteristics or innately using spirit abilities.
However, among those spirit hybrids, there was no one who naturally spoke the spirit language. At most, he could hear a few words from a spirit with whom he had a very close connection.
To naturally speak the spirit language and have such a strong affinity, doesn’t he have to be a spirit himself, not a mixed race?
‘Isn’t it a real spirit?’
Alcicle had the rude thought that the opponent might be a spirit from the Wardanaz family.
Then many questions were resolved.
I can speak the spirit language (because I am a spirit), and I can talk to Lee Han (because I am a member of the family that made the contract)…
“Pengerin?”
“uh? why?”
Alcicle raised his head at Lee Han’s call.
The two brothers of the Wardanaz family were looking at Alcicle. In particular, Arsil was giving an interesting look.
“I’m asking that you want to watch your brother eat sardines… I’m sorry.”
“Oh, no. “I just wanted to eat sardines.”
* * *
“okay. It can happen. They even call the devil. that’s right. hmm. okay. It can happen. “They even call the devil.”
“Pengerin. “You’re saying that for almost the hundredth time now.”
“Broken gramophone?”
Lee Han made a ‘shh’ sound at his junior’s words.
“Pengerin was just surprised.”
Alcicle, who belatedly came out of shock, came to his senses and spoke.
“Oh, no. I was just… surprised. “Because it’s such an amazing ability.”
“no way. “I have similar abilities.”
“what!? “Can you even talk to spirits?!”
Alcicle was surprised.
The reason I spoke with my brother earlier was not because we were of the same blood, but because I also have the ability to use spirit language!?
“no. Unlike my brother, I have the ability to make spirits run away wherever I go… Just kidding. sorry.”
“……”
Arcicle was taken aback, but Arsil next to him burst out laughing and knocked on the table.
“I was so shocked that I couldn’t even give Arsil a proper greeting… Tell him I’m sorry.”
“You don’t care at all.”
“What does Arsil do?”
“My brother is looking for treasure.”
“oh!”
Arsicle unconsciously looked at the large, old backpack that Arsil had put down earlier.
Could it be that those things in there were ancient artifacts?
‘…?’
However, looking again, I could not feel any special magical power in the items in the backpack.
Alcicle asked cautiously.
“Is that by any chance a treasure?”
“yes.”

“I can’t feel the magical power?”
“Just because it’s an artifact doesn’t mean it’s a treasure, right? “It could be a treasure with archaeological value.”
In response to those words, Arsil added something next to him.
Lee Han explained with a shy expression.
“hmm. They say the items over there are less than 30 years old.”
“Then what is it worth?”
“They say the old look has a charm. He said he would give it to the spirits as a gift…”
“……”
Alcicle was even more embarrassed.
No matter how you looked at it, it was just a piece of junk commonly found lying around on the streets.
You’re giving that as a gift to picky spirits?
As Alcicle had also needed help from spirits when researching magic, he knew well the conditions of gifts that had to be offered to spirits.
If you gave an insignificant gift, you could incur anger for no reason.
-■■■■! ■■■■!
When Arsil gave him a chipped and cracked ceramic cup as a gift, the spirit of drought sitting on his shoulder was very happy and flew away to the spirit world.
At that sight, Alcicle opened its beak.
Were the spirits that happy and delighted with the gift?
“No… amazing. really. “I never thought the spirits would be so happy.”
“Oh. older brother. “I made a contract with that spirit.”
Arsil pointed to Perkuntra’s pattern and asked with interest. Lee Han shook his head.
“You don’t have to worry about that. Look here.”
Lee Han summoned the sparrow spirit and the squirrel spirit.
Arsil smiled calmly at that sight. It was amazing to see my younger brother, who had difficulty getting close to spirits, show such a close relationship.
I was a bit curious as to why the mighty lightning spirit just passed by…
widely-
As soon as the sparrow spirit and squirrel spirit were summoned, they ran to Arsil and climbed on both shoulders.
“ruler. Come this way.”
Lee Han spoke to the two spirits. However, the two played around and jumped on Arsil’s shoulders as if they couldn’t hear him.
Lee Han’s face became clouded at that sight.
“…You want me to come this way?”
The spirits were too excited to play and couldn’t hear Lee Han’s words.
Alsicle was taken aback as he saw Lee Han’s expression becoming more and more distorted with grief and sorrow.
“Hey, hey. in action! “Move!”
The spirits were unable to come to their senses despite Arsicle’s shouts, but only came to their senses when Arsil touched them.
The two spirits quickly approached Lee Han and tried to climb onto his shoulders.
However, Lee Han widened the distance with a cold expression.
-!?
Arsil, who was happily watching his younger brother playing with the spirits, rummaged through his backpack as if he had remembered it too late and called out to Lee Han.
“yes. older brother. Oh, a gift? It’s really okay. It’s a commemoration of surviving a year under the evil Tamgwan Duck? Who is this evil inspector… Ah. principal. thank you.”
Alcicle asked cautiously.
“Are you on bad terms with Gonadaltes?”
“I guess it’s because the principal buys a lot of treasures.”
Arsil searched for treasures and relics throughout the empire, but his methods were different from ordinary collectors.
While imperial collectors wait leisurely and buy the items discovered by adventurers at the auction house, Arsil goes around and sells them in person.
There was nothing more heartbreaking than seeing the artifacts you were interested in fall into the hands of an adventurer, go to an auction house, and then end up in the hands of a collector who only had gold coins.
‘Oops. ‘I also buy a lot from the auction house.’
Alcicle was hot.
Among wealthy nobles, there were few who did not go to the auction house. It was fun just to look at all kinds of different items flowing into the auction house.
“Pengerin, do you buy a lot of treasures too? no way. “Pengerin is not the type of person to do that.”
“Oh, Gonadaltes, you are really great too! “You should give up your treasures for the younger students, but you’re scraping it all up yourself!”
Alcicle urgently cursed Gonadaltes. Arsil smiled in agreement.
“Choose one of these? But brother. It seems like many of the treasures you brought with you were a bit dangerous… Are you saying it’s different this time? But you said that last time too.”
Arsil looked at Lee Han with kind eyes, as if there was a misunderstanding.
There was something about its spirit-like appearance that made it difficult for even enemies to hate it.
But Lee Han was calm.
“The gift you gave me last time turned up and a monster came out. “Alarlong had a hard time catching that.”
“……”
Alcicle came to his senses.
Even if the other person looked like a spirit, there was no guarantee that they were sane.
‘Let’s come to our senses. This is the Wardanaz family!’
“It’s really different this time? You said you worked hard to choose it and brought it back? Umm. You really didn’t need to… I understand. What is this dagger? If you stab him, you burn the other person’s blood? hmm. I’ll skip this for now. What is this landscape painting? The westernmost coast of the empire? Oh, is this just a picture you drew yourself?”
Arsil nodded and said.
While traveling in the West, I discovered the Aurora in the distance and it reminded me of my younger brother, so I drew it.
‘I have to get over this.’
But Lee Han passed right over.
In terms of value alone, this was no better than the cursed dagger from earlier. Arsil looked a little disappointed as her younger sister flipped through the pictures.
“What is this necklace? If you break the jewel, the devil inside will come out? Do you have a contract? It’s not working. hmm. “Then they’ll just attack randomly?”
Arsil nodded.
That necklace was a treasure found deep in the ruins of the Great Desert in the southern part of the empire.
It was a beautiful design in itself, but the fact that it had the name of the devil inside was also worthy of high praise.
A great gift should be surprising and unexpected…
Lee Han coldly handed over the necklace. Arsil was disappointed.
“What is this cloak? If you wear it, you will become a berserker? ah. It’s just a cloak of defense? So let’s do this. no. it’s okay. I won’t change it. I like this. Aren’t you bored? Is it fun enough? Look at this cape design. “It’s interesting.”
“……”
Alcicle could only hear Lee Han’s voice, but strangely, he seemed to know what was being said.
* * *
“You are the best coachman in the empire!”
“Hehe. “Please just leave it to me.”
Gaynando lay down in the carriage. He was the most comfortable in the empire.
It was a carriage pulled by as many as eight horses, but the coachman hired directly by the family lived up to its reputation and drove the carriage without the slightest wavering.
Gai Nando nodded as the surrounding scenery changed in an instant.
‘I’ll be there soon, right?’
The carriage, which was running at full speed, stopped for a moment when it saw a fork in the road.
The driver stopped the carriage to let the horses rest and asked a passerby.
“Look. Let me ask you something. “Is this the right road to the Wardanaz family?”
“Are you going to the Wardanaz family?”
“That’s right. As a guest…”
The person passing by suddenly turned and ran away at full speed.
“…?!!”
