806 < 803 Won 1. Ancient Nymph, Delay (2) >

* * *

Ian, who heard Lulu's voice, had no choice but to ask reflectively.

He seemed to know about this one, an ancient ruin, and the more information he had, the better.

“What's the delay? ”

Lulu answered Ian's straightforward question.

- He's my friend.

“Your friend……. Spirit?”

- Yeah, but he's not a complete spirit like me.

“Then?”

- Half fairy, half spiritual.

“ ……? ”

At this moment, Lulu's words continue toward Ian, dumbfounded.

- Think of it as something similar to your summoner, Charta.

“A concept similar to a Spirit Master? ”

Procrastination was an extraordinary being, created by the ancient mystic arts.

“Oh?”

Ian, who had heard Lulu's story, had to make an interesting face.

The part about Luru and Prow being friends wasn't that important to Ian, but I didn't expect to hear the word 'spirit astronomy’ here again.

‘If it's spiritual craftsmanship, I think it's about the secret to forbidding the Papma family from being corrupted and banned...' ’

If the small creature, who is trapped in this ice, was born of spiritual erosion, as Lulu said, Ian could make one more assumption.

"Could it be that the spiritual capital, like Charta, was originally born by softness? ’

Like Lulu said, Charta was also a harp spirit, just like the one trapped in that ice.

And from Ian's feeling, it seemed like the source of these harps was ancient spiritual conjunctivities.

‘Maybe we can search the ruins here and find clues about prosthesis...' ’

The 'Spirit Erectomy’ content that I thought I would have to find one day while attacking the Spirit Realm's main quest.

At an unexpected time, Ian found that clue very encouraging.

‘Let's get him out of here and talk about it. Then you won't come up with anything? ’

Ian, who became more motivated, slowly began to melt the ice that had been pulled out of the water.

And once we get to shore, the ruins are trapped inside.) was not difficult to extract.

A chunk of ice so small that Ian could lift it with his two hands could melt enough without even using the lava of Lacador.

With the spirit of flame magic spoken by Arene, Ian's Magran is strong enough to lighten the fire. He quickly melts the ice and reveals his trapped presence inside.

Blubber-

And after a while.

Damn it!

With a slight crack, the presence inside the ice pops out.

- Art...! It's hot!

A peculiar being who shows his presence with a smashing voice as soon as he gets out of the ice.

Ian opened his mouth with a look that his eyes met.

“The ice hasn't melted yet, but what's hot about it? ”

And the one who heard Ian's voice immediately looked like he was dipping himself in cold water and crumpling his teeth.

- I'm an ice spirit.

“ ……? ”

- It's just a little bit hot.

“Really?"

- I thought you were melting it down.

The creature who had dived into the cold water of life for a while soon came back out again.

She then drains the remaining moisture from her body, spreading her small back wings and lightly soaring up into the air.

And Ian's eyes, looking carefully at his appearance, reminded him a little.

‘By the way, aren't the wings really made of ice? ’

A pretty little ice spirit wrapped in a mysteriously glowing blue silk.

The ‘flare’ spins once in the air, a glimpse into Ian's group.

And then the next moment.

- Yes...?

The postponer finds a familiar face and opens his mouth again in a furious expression.

What the hell? Lulu, why are you here?

* * *

Ian's guess that Aren would have something to do with the ruins in the Valley of Life here was half right and half wrong.

Not exactly Arene, but Lulu, the spirit of Aren, had something to do with the valley of life.

It was Lulu's role to connect the user who arrived in the Valley of Life through the linking quest with the key to the ruins, 'Miru’.

And to some extent, from the name, the two spirits were twin spirits born at one hour.

Spirits did not have the concept of brothers and sisters like humans or animals, but they were just like sisters.

Well, here's the thing.

Why do the two spirits look so different?

Unlike the postponement of a little girl who fits perfectly with the modifier ’Nymph’, Luru's appearance was far from human.

Lulu's appearance was like a ghost without a physical body, and it was hard to find common ground between the two, so the twins looked so exotic.

However, the reason why the two spirits' appearance was different was actually simple.

Unlike Lulu, who had been born and only lived as a pure spirit until now, postponement was once reborn by 'spirituality’.

- They said they were looking for the Spirit's energy. You've been stuck here on the ice?

According to Lulu, the postponer sighs and replies.

- Bad luck.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- When I got here, there was a storm all over the valley.

- Gust...?

That's why an avalanche hit me from everywhere, and I had to turn to ice to survive.

- Did you freeze yourself?

- Well, sort of.

Ian listens to two small spirits' conversations with an interesting look on his face.

in order not to miss a single clue in their conversation.

- But how did you end up in this dangerous valley?

On Ruru's question, she scratched the back of her head and replied.

- I told you, we're going for the Spirit's energy.

- Huh? Did you find the Spirit's energy...? Was this the valley?

The postponer nods.

Somewhere in here, I can still feel the Holy Spirit.

Ian couldn't stand the curiosity of hearing the spirits talk.

"What else is the Spirit's energy? ’

Like an endless onion, intriguing stories continue to pour out.

However, Ian decided to wait a little longer.

After the conversation, it won't be too late to answer any questions.

If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be stuck here forever.

- Why not?

- Couldn't have come out until the ice melted naturally... There won't be a meltdown here at Shaia peak unless there's another genius situation.

Luru smiled and replied, postponing.

- No, it's not, Del.

- Yeah?

- How do you think we got to this Shai peak?

- Hmm...?

- It's been a while since the Shaia peak melted. I don't know why.

Luru's words widen her eyes, and she wanders around.

- Oh, by the way...!

And at the same time.

- Tyring!

In front of Ian's eyes, a new system message began to emerge.

- Qualified!

- Quest 'Ancient Spirit Mirror Ⅰ (Hidden) (Epic)’ is triggered.

- Ancient Spirit Mirror Ⅰ (Hidden) (Epic)

You have successfully found the Valley of Life, and you have discovered the ancient spirit 'Mirror’ that was locked in the lake in the valley.

Ancient Spirit and Fairy of Magical Power.

And Miru, who holds the power of the mysterious ruins at the same time.

However, Deluge, who is this mysterious being, had one concern for a long time.

Because ‘Spirit Elasticism’, which made her into such a special spirit, was an unfinished forbidden art, she has been suffering for hundreds of years now.

She was always distracted by the unstable spirit, and began to find a way to escape from the Papma family, who eventually created her.

In the process, the postponer learned about the existence of ancient spiritual craftsmanship, which was buried in the Ruins of the Holy Spirit.

and hoped that if we could find the perfect ancient conjunctivities, we might be able to be free from pain.

Let's listen to Delhi's story and help her.

If we help her find the ruins of the Holy Spirit, we may be able to gain a powerful ancient power.

The story of the delay was quite long.

Starting from the day I contracted with the Papmanian animist who had been banished from the spirit system, I became a harp spirit by the forbidden craftsmanship until now.

As her story itself was a very interesting story, Ian focused on the voice of the delay as if it had been sucked in.

While listening to the story, I learned many new things that I did not know.

‘So, this spirit, this posthumous spirit, was a kind of failure, sacrificed by the Papmanian experiments. ’

After talking for a long time, he suddenly stopped talking and looked around.

Then, embarrassed Ian asked to postpone with a curious look.

“What are you doing all of a sudden, Deluxe? ”

- I don't know where, but I think I can feel the power of the Holy Spirit nearby.

“The power of the Holy Spirit...? ”

And that's when Ian gets back to Delhi.

Shhhhh!

Ian's summoner Charta, who had entered the Valley of Life, protruded out of the water and landed next to Ian.

And the postponement continued again.

- This guy... Isn't that Charta?

As soon as Charta's eyes meet, she looks surprised and asks Ian.

Towards her, Ian nods and replies.

“That's right. It's the Spirit Charta. You know this guy? ”

The mill also nods and opens its mouth.

- I don't know, but if we get out of the ice, we were gonna find him first.

“Charta...? ”

After not understanding how the situation suddenly went, Ian became confused.

In front of Ian's eyes, a new system message answered his question.

- Tyring!

- Variables occurred during the pairing quest process.

- Special conditions are met.

- The quest 'Ancient Spirit Delay Ⅰ (Hidden) (Epic)’ is forcibly completed.

-A +25 Amity with Ancient Spirit ‘Delay’.

- The 'Summoning Stone of Spirit Charta’ reward has been deleted.

What? What is it? ’

Ian's sudden message made him even more confused.

However, as the message continued, Ian's expression became brighter.

- The quest "Ancient Spirit Delay Ⅱ (Hidden) (Epic)" has occurred.

- Quest ranking is enhanced due to special conditions.

-All associated quests cleared The final reward has been upgraded to a Rank.
