Chapter 46: Louise's killing intent
"The Spirit Realm is a world no human or race can enter. It has its own rules and existences. For example, if you make contact with people from there, you'll be able to make a contract with them. Some spirit races gladly leave their realm to cause chaos in our world, so their contracts are simple. Some contracts just allow people to summon them in a battle, and more."
"That's interesting." Leon nodded, knowing that information from Celes already. But it was good to learn about it from a different perspective, so he genuinely thanked the man for his wisdom.
And the talk carried on. "They can't die in our world. If they suffer a death blow, they go back to their realm for resurrection. But that doesn't happen in lands that split from The Spirit Realm. That land becomes abandoned, the spirit monsters lose their immunity, and we can contract them for life."
Leon didn't know how to feel about it. He'd been lacking high-quality monsters for some time, and those from around him always disappointed him. Now, he was close to the utopia of them.
He didn't doubt that humans and others would hunt those spirit monsters for their own self-gain. It'd be good to pick up someone of high quality from that place. A few not intelligent spirits would also be a great pick-up for fusion and breeding developments.
Leon also believed he'd learn more development paths with those spirits in his inventory.
"It's not that I doubt your level, but such a place should draw the attention of high-level people, right? Aren't you worried about clashing with them?" Leon imagined many high-level people invading that split spirit realm to hunt beasts. He wouldn't be surprised if some kingdoms made a hunting game there.
But since it'd happened in the Silver Wing Kingdom, he believed this royal family owned all rights to the split spirit realm. It ought to be them sending high-level knights and royal members here.
"The Silver Wing has invited their allied friends here and keep an eye on the enemy kingdom and dark guilds." The man confirmed Leon's thoughts, then surprised him. "The split spirit realm has a level limitation. Only those below level fifty can enter inside."
Leon's eyes gleamed like stars.

Louise and Celes were together in a big city.
They hadn't talked about it, but they had silently agreed to not split up. It was because they hadn't spotted any other monsters in the Silver Wing Kingdom and their provinces. Of course, with the grand spirit realm event, they ought to soon meet a few monster races.
Nonetheless, they'd decided to be together because they were different from other humans around them.
Louise slowly grew to dislike it. "It's time to leave!"
She held onto a bag with cooking ingredients, embracing it while glowering at the vampiress holding a liquor bottle. It wasn't the first nor the last bottle she'd hold in this shop… Celes also took her time to check the new stuff.
Additionally, since the village had cheap stuff, Celes finally found a much better quality liquor. Of course she'd spend some time in this shop.
"I did my groceries really fast," Louise complained, whistling to kill time.
Finding her adorable and lovely, Celes took off her eyes from a bottle and looked at the fox girl. "And where will you cook? I don't think you'll be lucky enough to get a kitchen and teacher for yourself again."
"I will sneak in if they refuse me!" Louise instantly replied, ready to commit a crime.
Celes rolled her eyes. "Oh? After all the stuff Master has talked about?"
Louise knew that Celes alluded to dwarves and Leon not wanting to steal their flames. "Yes."
She still agreed because sneaking into a kitchen wouldn't make her follow the Human Emperor's steps. Had that monster ever stepped into a kitchen?
Louise smirked as she thought about it — she shared it with Celes, who couldn't help but faintly laugh.
Finally, Celes bought all booze she wanted. "Anything else you want to buy?"
"I'm done for today." Louise shook her head.
The duo left the shop and headed back to their master's side. It was pretty hard to move in the bustling city with many guilds and their people coming in, but no one really dared to stop these two. After all, not displaying a guild and level didn't mean that someone was alone and weak.
It also could mean that someone hid a deep secret and strength.
At last, Louise and Celes were close to their inn. They could see the grand building and all of its floors. The same queue also stretched outside the building, shocking them.
However, something else grasped Louise's heart, swathing it in a cold pressure.
From one of many luxurious carriages, a short man came out. He was even smaller than Louise, but a beard on his seemingly young skin told everyone he wasn't a kid to reckon with. He wore light clothes, but everyone had already spotted armor pieces sticking closely to his skin.
He was a dwarf.
He wasn't alone, either.
He had a party of dark blue-skinned warriors whose clothes and curves were hidden beneath black robes. Their pressure and the dwarf's status kicked everyone from the queue — no one dared to stop him.
"I… I'm not scared…" Louise whispered, trying to tame her cold and rocking heart… "It's a killing intent, right? I want to kill that dwarf."
Celes didn't utter a word, only staying close to Louise, whose words would startle everyone in the inn. "Black Asura protect him… He's surely not a good guy. Killing him might even benefit our world."
Those words encouraged Louise.
She nodded and opened her system to send a message to her master. A few minutes later, Leon came out and took the girls to their room. He'd noticed Louise's different mood, deciding to face it in the four walls.
After the door closed, Leon sat down by the desk, supporting his head on his right palm. "Seems like we all have learned something new today. Who wants to speak first?"
