144. Are you going crazy?
Leon, who met the highest level spirit, was surprised in many ways.
“Thank you for being so kind to us.”
The low-pitched voice that resonated with people’s hearts was the voice of a top-notch spirit, but the problem came next.
His appearance did not match his voice at all.
“I’m glad you found it helpful.”
The highest level spirit of the land that I met in the deepest part of the hideout was in the form of a ‘mole’.
“I have to talk in this state because I’m maintaining the hiding place. Would you mind?”
It wasn’t even fully revealed. Half of the body was in the ground.
“It doesn’t matter as long as we can face each other like this.”
The figure of him sticking his head out of the ground was both cute and absurd.
Of course, given its size, I couldn’t say it was cute. His face was the size of Leon’s upper body.
“Then I will ask. Who are you?”
He looked right through Leon with his big eyes. The atmosphere was a bit strange.
‘I think you know that I’m not a spirit?’
The best way to do this is to be as vague as possible.
“I am faith, hope and anger. It is currently in the spirit realm, but it also exists in the human world and the spirit world. I have only answered your call.”
“uh?! Then it’s not a spirit!?”
The wind spirit next to him screamed in surprise.
“I am a spirit now. It’s not a perfect spirit, though.”
“What do you mean?”
Leon didn’t answer and just grinned. To be honest, Lyon didn’t know what to say.
Clumping is the norm here.
“Thank you for being honest. After all, you are not from the spirit realm.”
“yes. I am here for those who call me, just like this child.”
“Right! It’s real! You got rid of the storm!”
It was rewarding to seduce the wind spirit. No matter what Rion’s identity was, the guy sided with Rion.
But this alone was not enough.
“I have lived a very long time. However, it is the first time I have seen a case like you.”
As expected, the question of the highest level spirit was not resolved.
‘This is natural.’
Fortunately, though, his attitude was very friendly.
“So you need to check. Could you please allow us to check?”
Leon answered right away without hesitation.
“Yes. it’s okay. You can check it anytime.”
After Leon gave permission, he immediately gave orders to the wind spirit.
“Bring the Spirit of Record from outside.”
“yes! I’ll get you right away!”
The wind spirit fled out in an instant, as if he didn’t think Leon had lied.
“Could you please wait a moment?”
“Yes. it’s okay.”
Leon said he was fine, but he was not fine.
‘The spirit of the record?’
It was the first spirit I had heard of, but I had a rough idea of what this spirit’s power was.
‘Is it the spirit that controls the records? How far do you know?’
Unlike the four major spirits, the special-type spirits are troublesome.
‘They’re unexpected guys like Bixby and Siri. I need to be nervous about this.’
The good news is that everything is said vaguely, so even if you get caught lying, you can suffice.
‘It just needs to fit right in according to the situation.’
While Leon was organizing his thoughts on how to respond, the wind spirit returned before he knew it.
“I brought you!”
The guy showed the book to the highest level spirit and said.
“This child is the Spirit of Records.”
“… … The book?”
“haha. It may seem like that, but you can think of it as a characteristic of this child.”
I knew that spirits came in a variety of shapes, but I didn’t know that there were spirits in the form of books.
‘A book is not even a living thing in the first place!’
Unlike Leon, who was flustered, the highest level spirit and the wind spirit were having a peaceful conversation.
“Put the child down.”
“yes!”
When the wind spirit put the book down, the book opened by itself.
‘uh? There’s nothing written on it, right?’
It was immediately clear why nothing was written.
“I need your strength.”
In his words, letters appeared in the book where nothing was written.
– Unable to open the Akashic Records.
‘The Akashic Records? What is that?’
When you don’t know what’s going on, it’s best to keep quiet. Leon quietly watched the strange conversation between the two.
“It is not that I intend to read the Akashic Records. I just want you to look at the record and give me one answer.”
– I can’t confirm that I can answer.
“Okay. I just need a little advice from you.”
– I’ll listen.
After pondering for a moment, the highest-ranking spirit opened his mouth.
“Is that guest really our hope?”
– This is an answerable question.
“You will need time. will wait.”
At the same time as the words, words quickly appeared in the book.
‘Bixby!’
[Yes! I will adjust it so that you can read it!]
As Bixby moved, text appeared quickly.
– Searching for records.
– Multiple myths retrieved.
-Checking and gathering information.
– Begin analysis of the answers.
Leon was startled. This spirit in the form of a book possessed tremendous power.
‘Can you check all the books!?’
I’m not sure what the Akashic Records are, but I’m pretty sure it’s some sort of archive or library.
‘An existence that can check all records… … It’s like being omniscient!’
A being that knows anything and can do anything.
We call such an omnipotent being God.
‘It seems that there is a limit, but isn’t it safe to say that this has half the power of a god?’
The Spirit of Records soon gave an answer.
– It can be seen as hope.
“Right. Thank you for your answer. Your advice has been helpful to the entire spirit realm.”
– I’ll get paid.
“You may take it.”
Soon after, energy flowed from the body of the highest level spirit and began to be absorbed into the book. Each time energy was absorbed, his size shrank little by little.
When it was reduced by about 1/3 like that, the absorption stopped.
“I didn’t need much in return, I thought.”
He tilted his head as if it were strange, but it wasn’t from Leon’s point of view.
‘Shrinked by almost 1/3?!’
Spirits are creatures made of energy. That energy was power and life at the same time.
In the worst case, it was possible that the grade would drop from the highest to the highest. For just one question, the cost was terrifyingly high.
– I have a request. The remaining cost is deducted from this request.
“haha. It’s strange that you’re asking.”
– I want to talk to the guest separately.
“good night.”
The highest level spirit readily agreed.
“You say you want to talk privately, is that possible?”
“ah. Yes. Anything is fine.”
Leon held the book so that only he could see it. Then the text appeared in the book.
– Even if you swallow me with greed, you cannot use the Akashic Records.
The guy’s conversation was beyond imagination from the start.
‘What are we going to do?’
When Rion got lost in her thoughts and didn’t respond, another text appeared.
-Really. The Akashic Records are unreachable. So there’s nothing good about eating me.
The reason he said this was simple.
‘You want me to save this?’
To explain the reason why you shouldn’t eat it was to ask for help. It was also the first of its kind.
“okay.”
Fortunately, the record spirit requested a separate conversation, so others could not see this conversation.
‘Can I use this?’
It looked like it could be used.
“I want to do a favor for you, Spirit of Records, but since I came for the spirit realm, I can’t just do a separate request for you.”
The Spirit of Records made it look like he was making an unreasonable request.
“If you still need my help, there is a price to pay.”
– Valid.
“I want to ask you a question worthy of a price. are you okay?”
– It’s okay. Instead, if the question exceeds the price, it cannot be answered.
“That’s fine. Then, let’s do that.”
-Agree. What is the question?
The Record Spirit immediately asked for a question, but Leon had no intention of asking it now.
“Put it down.”
-??
“When I want to ask a question, I will. We didn’t sign the contract by the date, did we?”
-… … That’s a valid opinion. recognition.
“Right now, the spirit realm comes first. First of all, I will solve the spirit world problem.”
Of course, this was a lie.
‘I can’t just use this big chance.’
I had to think as much as possible and carefully select the most necessary questions. It wasn’t a careless use of this.
Leone closed the book and handed it to the wind spirit.
“It’s done.”
“What did the recorder ask for?”
“It’s a little bit like a personal request. I’m sorry.”
“Ah, ah! Then it’s okay if you don’t tell me!”
The boy panicked, as if he thought he had made a mistake.
“I’m going to talk to the guest, so you stay up.”
“yes!”
The one who saved such a wind spirit was the highest level spirit. After sending the wind spirit up, he said to Leone.
“Thank you for accepting the confirmation.”
“no. Since you are in a position of responsibility, it is natural for you to check on me.”
At Leon’s words, he said with a smile.
“You are our hope. What do you need? We will do our best to help you.”
If the treatment changed this much once confirmed, it was worth it.
Leon went straight to the point.
“What is the problem in the spirit realm that needs to be addressed right now?”
“I think it can be divided into two broad categories.”
“Tell me everything. Let’s start by addressing these two problems.”
He continued to explain slowly.
“The first is the clouds floating in the sky. This is the biggest reason we ran away.”
A cloud driving an energy storm.
This wasn’t much of a problem.
“I can handle that. It will take some time, but it’s not that difficult. What is the second?”
“The second is the fallen spirits. Those children chose plunder to survive.”
“Plunder?”
It’s not the others, the spirit is plundering. It was unimaginable.
“That’s right. Storms and corrupted spirits. Those are the two biggest problems right now.”
The spirit world was going crazy.
* * *
The northern part of the spirit realm.
A spectacle unfolded here.
Whales and birds that appeared to be wind spirits were flying in the sky, and other spirits were riding on top of them.
“Kiyoyo clothes!”
“Hee-hee!”
“Gazuaa!”
The spirits riding the wind spirits screamed with mad expressions.
Then, the spirit sitting on top of the whale like a king opened its mouth.
“The central cloud has dissipated! At this rate, the top-notch has moved! The time for plunder has come!”
At his words, the other spirits screamed in unison.
“oooh!”
“Ulaa!”
“It’s plunder!”
“Tear! Drink!”
It was madness. Everyone’s eyes were half-turned, and none of the spirits seemed sane.
“Rush!”
With that, a large spark ignited behind the whale’s tail, and it began to speed up in an instant.
A whale passed dangerously past another wind spirit.
“Oh, the spirit of madness saw me! You saw me!”
“You have blessed us! We are invincible!”
However, the word danger did not exist for them. It was full of madness only.
Soon, fire spewed out from behind the other wind spirits and increased their speed.
“Our goal is the center!”
A group of marauders moved toward the center. To the area where Leon is located.
