Chapter 337

Chapter 337. Water is life (4) It is only for drawing out the water spirit.

Therefore, all expedients should be used.

Use this to reduce her mental energy consumption.

So you can be very determined and choose.

“...Well, even if I use all of them in the end, I have to rely on luck in the end.”

“Ah... that's why they brought so many of them...

As if Pena was fed up, she shuddered as she looked at the fake spirit stones piled up in a corner of the room.

“...Do you really have to pull it out enough to use it all?”

“If you're not lucky, maybe you should.”

It can come out in one room.

It may not come out even if you use it all.

Only luck knows the outcome.

“Pena.”

“huh?”

“Forget about sleeping today.”

“...I didn't want to hear that in a place like this.”

Disappointed with her shoulders drooping as if she was about to break something, she reached out her hand to me as if she had made up her mind.

It's a hand gesture to give me the spirit stone.

“Give me I will finish it in one shot.”

“Ooooooooo!”

I just believe in you, my wife!

With an unusual resolve, I handed over the counterfeit spirit stone with anticipation in my heart.

Pena lets out a sigh as if she wants to complain, ‘Why do I have to do this?' and then stands in front of the summoning circle and prepares to summon the spirit.

I feel sorry too.

But this is all we do to make a living.

I said it only in my heart so as not to disturb it.

I believe you will know.

Soon, she seemed to have regained her composure, put on a serious face, and began to mutter in a low voice.

“...The beings that exist beyond the providence of nature.”

Just as she taught me before, she recites summoning phrases and tunes in with nature's mana and spirit.

The summoning circle reacts and emits light, and at the same time, the spirit stone held in Pena's hand breaks and turns into light, then disappears as if being sucked into the camp.

The effect is different from mine.

Truly a real spirit sage.

For some reason, it feels good to be plausible.

“Call your names according to the ritual of conversation with you!”

When she finished the spell, the light grew stronger and a ball of light appeared on the summoning circle.

Oh really? Is it really over at once?

I watch the light take form and properties with anticipation.

“???? Eh?”

“.. oh?”

... Seeing that light turn into a salamander, I tilted my head at the same time as Pena.

Did you think it was a water spirit?

regret! It was a Salamander!

In front of us staring down at the salamander, this red lizard looks up as if asking, ‘Did you call it?'

no. not you you didn't call

The first attempt was a failure.

“???? Wow?...”

“It's okay. The first may fail.”

Indeed, was the world so meek?

Nothing can be done in one shot.

I was convinced, and as soon as Pena returned the Salamander, I handed over the next Spirit Stone.

“are you okay! I have a feeling it will work out this time!”

Pena used the summoning spell again, appealing for groundless confidence, perhaps ashamed of bringing out the salamander from the beginning.

“Please come out!”

more desperate than before

Is it because of the mood?

And the result of the next summon.

Roaring.

It was a salamander that spit out fire cutely!

Maybe I really didn't sleep well today.

We will all be thinking the same way.

Even after that.

“Another Salamander?!”

“All next!”

Pena asked curiously while carrying a water spirit the size of a newborn baby in her arms.

Well, the two of us fussed all night to pick one.

I can't help but wonder

Hmmm... explaining the theory behind the water purification system would be boring.

Let's put aside everything else and explain why we need spirits.

“That... why did you say that? What I want to make this time is to make a magic tool that can purify and supply water to cities and villages.”

huh.

[Yes.]

Undine, who was looking at me and Pena, copied Pena's tone.

“There are limits and it takes a long time to purify with just magic, medicines, and mechanical devices. And maintenance is cumbersome.”

Of course, there is a basic model of this in part in Fahlia.

But that's because you can always manage.

If you want to sell it as a commodity, you need to come up with a more manageable version.

There, I set my eyes on the spirits... especially the water spirits.

“Did you hear that water spirits have the power to detoxify or purify contaminated areas?”

“...Coming to think of it, I think I read something like that.”

When it comes to high-level spirits, they say that even if a spirit slayer is defeated by deadly poison, it can be restored immediately.

There is a reason why clear water has been held up as a symbol of life since ancient times.

As I explained that far, Pena let out a little exclamation as if she finally understood something.

“I see! Are you trying to get the water spirit to purify you?”

“That’s how it is.”

I can give you 50 points.

If I hit 50 points, I hit enough.

“uh? So, are you going to put this Undine into the machine you made, Arell?”

“...What are you imagining?”

Perhaps in Pena's head, the pitiful picture of Undine being overworked to purify water without rest in the water purification machine is drawn.

For some reason, he is looking at me with a face that seems too low.

no. misunderstood

No country is as vicious as that.

Could it be that I just created such a low-level device that squeezed out spirits?

If I had made up my mind to do so, I would have replaced it, but would you just squeeze it out?

I denied Pena's imagination with a laugh as if it was absurd.

“It’s not like that. It's a completely different way. In the first place, I'm going to mass-produce this device, right? Pena, if you're going to put in the spirits as you imagined, would that one Undine be enough?”

I need to catch the spirit king and replace it.

“Come to think of it...

” “And even if the device is completed by inserting it, the efficiency is poor, so the spirits must continue to summon the spirits, right?”

Even the most powerful elemental sage will quickly get tired if you use it like that.

Spirituals are not common there.

“I need a water spirit, but I'll leave the marking to Undine.”

“marking?”

“Some kind of territorial marking.”

I opened the device that was still in the process of assembling a prototype and showed a cross-section of the waterway with several magic circles drawn on it.

“I’m going to have Undine make a mark unique to the spirit here. Well, as a pet, it's like marking territory.”

Of course, I don't mean that Undine should pee here like a real animal.

Come to think of it, was the spirit cheap?

I can't remember that.

“If we engrave the traces of Undine here, this will become the place where the spirits came and went.”

After speaking, I thought that the metaphor of a sign would be more appropriate than a territory mark.

Why do celebrities even sign autographs when they stop by, even in restaurants in modern civilization?

‘Here, who came! It's a restaurant!'

I mean it with the feeling.

I intend to recreate that feeling of space in this device.

It is to create a hot place where spirits pass by. “If you complete it like that, the passage through which the water passes through here

will

naturally have Undine's... spirit's unique presence

.

“Other water spirits gather.”

It's the same reason that people flock to it when it's known as a good restaurant.

The spirit's scent... a deep trace...

Anyway, if such a thing remains, other spirits will naturally be influenced and gather.

“Of course, materialized spirits do not gather. It's not materialized... It's where the spirit's energy gathers. Why is there a legend that sometimes a strange light flows out of a clear lake with few people?”

It's like a legend that says that the water in that lake has a special effect and is sacred.

“Yeah, there is.”

“That’s because the spirits gathered.”
