534 Discover Machine Civilization (2)

* * *

After completing the Gateway, Sarah and Vanessa learned of Ian's identity.

Ian explained it to me, but it was a strange situation even if he didn't know it.

It was because of the system messages that I learned that the spirit system was a shared dimension between servers, and Ian showed me a ridiculous ability.

You showed me a combat ability that I could never have seen without being the top ranker on one server.

By this time, Vanessa had almost become Ian's follower.

As soon as I realized that I wasn't a user of the same server, I lost my competitiveness.

The way to complete all quests and leave the Frost Cave.

Vanessa follows after Ian.

Vanessa had so many questions about Ian.

“Ian, how did you get the new dragons? ”

“You have one, Vanessa. ”

“Cortus, I'm so lucky.... ”

“I just got lucky, too. ”

“Tsk, that's too much... ”

Of course, Ian also had things he wanted to check out with Vanessa.

Among them, it was the question of whether a summoned number with a unique name even existed on other servers.

New dragons like Carseus and ElKarix, for example.

But I put those questions behind me first.

Now, it was more important to organize the stories I had heard in Yerim's head.

"Necromancy..." There are a lot more interesting things than I expected. ’

The more information Ian's group got from Yemen, the more likely they were to stick together.

There were even many things that Ian could not have anticipated.

Ian recalled the conversation he had with Yemuch.

“You can divide spirits into two broad categories? ”

“Very much. The Four Legions Spirit and the Derivative Spirit. Depending on the attributes, it can be divided into two like this. ”

“The Four Legions Spirit and the Derivative Spirit? ”

“First of all, it's a Military Spirit. Water, fire, wind, earth. Lots of spirits with these four attributes. ”

“Oh……. ”

“And the spirits of these four elements are the original spirits underlying all spirits. ”

“So the other attribute spirits, are they derived spirits? ”

“Yes. Clever, indeed. ”

“Well, what's the difference between them and the Four Legions Spirits? ”

“Derivative spirits don't have unique names. And no matter how much spiritual power you accumulate, you can't grow to the level of 'Spirit King’. ”

This was really, really a shocking part.

Since it was said that our ‘Chip', which we have been trying to raise with love, could not become the Spirit King.

But apart from him, it was also very important.

“In the end, the Four Legions are the most powerful of all the spirits, right? ”

“I can't necessarily see it that way. ”

“Why is that? ”

“Not only does he not grow up to be the Spirit King, but he also has many advantages over only the Spirit of Derivative properties. ”

“What good is that? ”

“All stats are set for the Four Column Spirits, whereas the Spirit of Derivative attributes have all stats of the same grade. Even the appearance varies. ”

“So... Is that supposed to feel like a normal summoner? ”

“Yes. Because of this, outstanding individuals of the Derivative Spirit sometimes appear in the Spirit King when they become the Supreme Spirit. ”

“Oh.”

“Besides, it's not that easy to be a Spirit King, even if you're a Four Legion Spirit. ”

“Well, of course it's hard. ”

“No. You can't just think of it as' difficult '. Since' Spirit King ’is a spiritual being that can exist only one of each attribute, it is impossible for Spirit Kings to grow up to become Spirit Kings. ”

“Ah……. ”

If they were ordinary users, they would have shaken their heads as they listened to Yemuj's explanation.

It's because the description contains too complicated content that I wouldn't have come to it right away.

But Ian was different.

As soon as Ian heard these stories, he immediately came up with a question.

“Plenty, then. ”

“Tell me more. ”

“In the spirit world, there are all spirit kings of the Four Paths? ”

“Well, that's not much. ”

“Then?”

“I know that in the spirit world now, Elisha and Trowell. You two are the Spiritual Kings. Mr. Ragnaros and Mr. Etsilon perished in the battle against a machine civilization. ”

“Elisha must be the Spirit of Water King..." ”

“I see. Trowell is the Spirit King of the Earth. Ragnaros is the Spirit of Fire King... Asylon is full of Wind Spirit Kings. ”

“Th-that's it. ”

Of course, when Ian realized the concept of the "Military Spirit" existed, he thought he must raise at least one of them.

And if you're going to raise one, it's natural to raise one for the Spirit King.

As a result, Ian wanted to acquire the spirit of the quadrant that could grow into the ‘Spirit King.'

According to Yemuch, you must raise either the Spirit of Wind or the Spirit of Fire to become the Spirit King.

“Then, Yerim, where can I find a Summon Wizard that can summon the Four Lords? ”

“There is a place called 'Spirit Sanctuary’ in the Abyssal Valley beyond the plain of wind. ”

“Sanctuary... of the Spirit? ”

“Very well. If you find the Spirit Guardian ‘Sharon’ there, he will show you the way." ”

“Thank you very much. You're a beautiful, smart turtle. ”

“Lots! I knew you had a lot of friends! ”

Ian's mind is somewhat cleared, and he slowly wakes up from his thoughts.

And as I moved, the darker the Frost Cave began to light up.

As we got closer to the entrance, light started coming into the cave.

Would he have walked for another five minutes?

Through the long passageway, a bright light pours out and reaches the entrance of the cave again.

Then, in Ian's view, strangers appeared.

* * *

Ian stopped walking and quickly held a party chat.

Sarah, Vanessa.

- Yeah?

- What's wrong with you?

- Ian: Those users... Do you know them?

- No, I don't.

- I don't know. I don't think it's a German server user……. You're not a Korean server, are you?

Ian: Yeah. Faces I don't know. Definitely not a Korean server ranker.

Now Sarah and Vanessa were on the same boat as Ian.

We have shared a lot of information from Yerim, and we have built some trust by keeping our hands and feet together.

But they're not.

I needed to be as vigilant and careful as possible.

‘They may not know that the intermediary is a shared dimension between servers. ’

Ian decided to kiss the two sisters.

- Ian: Let's hide as much as we can about the server.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, okay. I was gonna say that.

Information means exerting greater power in the hands of a minority.

Information that everyone knows is no longer information.

Information that everyone knows becomes‘ common sense ’from then on.

However, if it is judged that the users are worthy of riding in one ship, then the information can be opened.

Like you did with Vanessa and Sarah.

‘At least until we know their propensity, we can't open up information. ’

Ian clears his mind, slowly approaching the mysterious users.

He then opens his mouth, trembling at them.

“Wow! I knew there were a lot of rankers here because of the Spirit System! ”

And in Ian's first words, Vanessa looked ridiculous.

Obviously, Ian pretended not to know them.

But Sarah looked a little strange.

Ian now felt that he had thrown rice cakes.

‘What are they trying to do? ’

Sarah watches Ian's sheep with an interesting look.

Then Ian asked the middle-aged man who was in front of him what he had thrown.

“Haha, that's you... I've never seen you before. You don't look like a top ranker. How did you get in here? ”

On top of the man's head, the username 'Ralph’ was revealed.

And Ian's eyes, which he confirmed, lit up slightly.

All information other than the username was private, but it was enough to lead the conversation.

Ian's words literally followed like liquefied oil.

“That guy over there got a special quest. ”

At the end of the sentence, Ian points fingers at Vanessa.

Vanessa looks puzzled, but Ian doesn't mind a word.

“Thanks to you, I was able to get into the Spirit Realm early and level up the transcendence a bit. Well, the gateway to the plate……. You see, it failed.”

Seeing Ian lying blatantly, Sarah held out her tongue.

‘Wow……. Look at that face. I would have fooled you. ’

Ian's words continued.

“Did Ralph pass through the Gateway? ”

Ralph pauses on Ian's question.

It was not easy to say that it was because of pride that failed the Gateway.

But Ian had no reason to hide it in the yard where I told him he had failed.

Soon, Ralph opened his mouth with a bitter smile.

“No, we failed, too. Gateway number three wasn't easy either. ”

“Oh, right. We didn't even get to see Gateway No. 3, but it's amazing. ”

The conversation led by Ian naturally led to a side.

The other rankers next to Ralph also participated in the conversation without hesitation.

“Hah, I'm a little disappointed that you only recognize Ralph. My name is Archer Ranker Chesk. ”

“Nice to meet you, I'm Inisko. ”

“Nice to meet you. I'm Muel. ”

Around this time, the twin sisters who were standing at the back of Ian introduced themselves, and naturally had conversations like this.

And in the process, Ian was able to get some information.

The biggest income was finding out where they were users of the server.

‘Rankers on the U.S. server...' It's getting more interesting. "

The US server was an early server that was open at almost the same time as the Korean server.

Moreover, it was the second-largest server after China on a user scale.

Their expectations are higher than those of Sarah and Vanessa, German server rankers.

In particular, Ian was most curious about Ralph's ability to rank second in the Warrior rankings.

"Unless there's a big defect, it's like Irahan or Shark, right? ’

Ian swirled in his head.

But then, Ralph uncovers a sudden story.

“So you're a knight class. Are the twin girls wizards or summoners? ”

Ian is referred to as the 'Knight’ class.

Why do you think I'm a knight class? ’

Ian was embarrassed for a moment, but quickly he continued to speak.

“Well, yes. ”

“Fine. Come with us. They're going to the same destination anyway. ”

It was a mistake to let him go when he got on board later.

“Very well. Please take good care of it. I saw some struggling rankers get on a bus. ”

In Ian's words, Muel next to Ralph replies.

She was the only female user in the ranker signatures room of an American server.

“You're welcome. Entering the Spirit Realm means you're very talented. ”

“Haha, no. I'm embarrassed to hear that from you. ”

Chesk helped out.

“I was going to need a tank if not. Thank you very much, Ian. ”

“Please take good care of me. ”

Ian and Ralph's party quickly become close, and they begin to move on.

Ralph's group rides on Inisco's Griffin King, and Ian's group follows them on Vanessa's summoner Cortus.

Their destination was the Plain of Wind.

And this was the beginning of the statue dream.
