* * *

Trowell's story was quite long.

But in the end, the point of the content was not that complicated.

Remnants of machine civilizations deep within the Spirit System.

It was said that in order to win the war to drive it all out, we must gather all the power of the spirit system.

‘So you want me to gather the NPCs and spirits of each army attribute...... and bring them to the battlefield? ’

In the past, gathering all the power of the Spirit System was not that difficult.

If the will of the Four Legion Spirit Kings were to gather together, it would soon be the power to move the entire spirit system.

But that's just a story from the past.

Trowell was never that easy to say in the situation where he was the only one left of the Legion Spirit Kings.

That's why it became a quest that was given to Ian.

“If there is such a thing as' power, 'can we gather all the forces of that attribute? ”

- Almost.

“Mmmm... ”

- Having power means having the Spirit King's qualifications.

“If you are qualified as the Spirit King.... ”

Ian's eyes start to twinkle, hearing Trowell's words.

I already understood what he wanted from himself, but apart from that, the Congolese object outside the quest (?).

"If I get that power, can I make Magran the Spirit King?" ’

A powerful power to become a representative of the Spirit King and summon all the spirits of its attributes.

It's an intuition that perhaps it will play a decisive role in evolving a higher spirit into a Spirit King.

But Ian had to postpone his curiosity for a moment.

- Tyring!

As soon as Trowell said so, I remembered a new system message.

- You are now a "representative of the Spirit King".

- The conditions are met.

At the same time, a new quest window was opened in front of my eyes.

- You won the 'Origin Forest (Epic) (Hidden)’ Quest.

"The forest of origin"? What the hell is this? ’

Ian tilts his head back, stopping what he was about to say and turning his gaze to the quest window.

A clue to the evolution of the Spirit King, of course, is important, but right now, this main epic quest was more important.

And as I went along with the quest, I felt that my questions about the evolution of the Spirit King would also be solved naturally.

Ian clears out the clutter in his head, and slowly begins to read down the quest window.

< Origin Forest (Epic) (Hidden) (Association) >

- The highest point in Bitterstella is the path to the heavenly forest.

It is an ancient forest containing the power of the 'source’ and is the heart of the spirit system where the 'Spirit Kings’ are conceived.

It was an unnamed forest that had existed since the beginning, but all spirits in the spirit system have called it the "forest of origin."

…… approximate……

Ragnaros, the spirit king of fire, extinguished by the ancient wars and Ethylon, the spirit king of the wind. The power they left behind in their extinction has been recovered somewhere in the forest of this source.

Go to the Forest of Origin to find the power of fire and the power of the wind, and use that power to lead the army of fire and wind to the battlefield.

If we gather the power of fire and wind in a short time, we will have a better chance of winning the war.

-Quest Difficulty: SSSS

- Recommended Level:?? (transcends)

-Quest conditions: Amity with ‘Spirit King Trowell’ over 100, episode of 'Mechanical War’ underway

-Limited time: unknown

- Reward: Source of Fire, Source of Wind

* This quest cannot be shared.

* This quest cannot be carried out again if you fail at least once.

* This quest is automatically linked to the next quest, even if the quest fails.

In Ian's mind, after checking the contents of the quest, he immediately came up with a question.

“The power of fire and the power of the wind...... Can't you get the power of water from the source forest? ”

Clearly, Trowell told us to gather reinforcements of all the remaining attributes, since the only attributes specified in the quest for the source forest were fire and wind.

And Ian's question was quickly solved by Trowell's conversation.

As you said, the power of water does not exist in the source forest.

“Hmm…? ”

- Unlike the extinct Ragnaros, Ethylon, Elisha, the Spirit of Water King, still exists somewhere in this world.

“Ahh…! ”

Ian knows all about the history of the Ancient Spirit Kings.

That's how I immediately understood Trowell's story.

‘Anyway, Elisha is sealed in Charles' Horse Tower.... Maybe she has the power of water. ’

But I have one question that I have no choice but to understand.

Ian finally asked Trowell about it.

“So what do we do to bring water reinforcements to the battlefield? ”

- Well, that's simple.

“ ……? ”

- You go to them yourself, you call for backup.

“Ah……. ”

- We don't have the authority to give orders, but if you go to them and ask them, they'll all be willing to join forces for the Spirit Realm.

And after hearing Trowell's answer, Ian was able to understand everything.

The power of fire and the power of wind was needed to gather the reinforcements as quickly as possible.

Even if you don't have the power, you can visit each faction and ask for help, but time is of the essence.

"Like the tribes of the earth, there must be tribes of every attribute scattered throughout the spirit system." What Trowell says is the most effective way to unite their forces. ’

Towards Ian nodding, Trowell opens his mouth again.

- We don't have time for this, Ian. Even at this moment, the forces of the machine army will be gathering.

“Of course…… ”

- I'll show you the way to the source forest. You should be able to... bring me the power of fire and wind.

“Yes, Mr. Trowell. ”

As soon as Ian's answer dropped, Trowell's body started to glow blue.

And the light appeared in front of Ian as a shining object.

- Tyring!

- You received the 'Wings of the Earth (Superior) (Myth)’ item.

After checking the item, Ian once again looked surprised.

A mythical grade transcendent item that was not contained in the quest was suddenly created, so no matter how embarrassing Ian may be.

“ ……? ”

Unfortunately (?) This was only a one-time item given to proceed with the quest.

- To get to the source forest, you have to go through the nebula. But with the threat you have, you won't be able to step on the nebula yet.

“Ahh…! ”

- If we use this, we'll be able to trample the nebulae until the wings dissipate.

“I see.”

- Well, good luck with that, Ian.

Ian reaches out for his blue wings, and it seeps up his back again.

- Tyring!

- Used the 'Wings of the Earth (Superior) (Myth)' item.

- For the duration of the item, you are entitled to tread on the 'nebulae’.

- Duration - 00: 29: 59

Trowell then reaches out and the blue beam begins to sag again.

- I'll move you as far as I can.

“Thank you, Trowell……! ”

- Please quickly gain the power of fire and wind, and send their power to the battlefield.

“Of course!”

Ian no longer hesitated, and began to move forward as loudly as he could.

Now that we've confirmed that the Earth's wings last less than 30 minutes, it's also true that we can't relax.

Ian immediately put his foot into the portal made by Trowell, and the space began to distort with a large resonance sound.

Whoo-hoo!

And before Ian's ears move, Trowell's final words flow in.

- If you encounter the Forest Keeper there, do not be discouraged.

“ ……? ”

- She's not something you can threaten with.

Ian was curious about the existence of a forest keeper, but he couldn't talk anymore.

Trowell's voice was already faintly sucked deep into the portal.

‘Damn it, talk fast. ’

But apart from that, Ian's interest in the ‘forest of origin’ began to rise.

Nothing makes content more fun than uncertainty and ambiguity.

Ian's vision, which had been filled with white light, began to become clearer and clearer, and then the celestial space was opened in front of Ian's eyes.

- Tyring!

- You earned the title 'nebulae stomper’.

- The Light of Spirit will guide you.

And Ian starts running in a frenzied chase of the blue beam that comes before his eyes.

* * *

- Tyring!

- You have entered the Forest of Origins.

- The conditions are met.

- The wings of the Earth are disappearing.

- The light of the Spirit will vanish.

The moment he stepped on the green grass, Ian breathed a faint breath on his knees.

“Huff, huff…. ”

Thanks to the wings of the earth, it was not a problem to run over the nebula, but it was very urgent to run because of the time limit.

Ian had to run like Orloth was mad with physical ability, because he could not ride a summoner on the nebula, and he could not use the power of any family of space travel.

‘Hoo, it's not like I'm running a track game.... ’

But as Ian began to take a breath, he began to be able to explore the landscape around him.

Through all the places that had been surrounded by light and clouds, the space that matched the name 'forest’ began to come to my attention.

‘I still don't see anything special.... ’

Ian takes a slow walk, glittering his eyes, and starts moving toward the interior of the forest.

Then the summoners, who had been recalled, began to summon again in turn.

Whoo-hoo!

- I've summoned Rai.

- Summoned Carseus.

…… shorthand…….

Once Ian summoned them, they were small summoners.

Summons that are actually small in size or can be reduced to polymorphs.

Summoning and seeing all the summoners in a situation where we don't even know where the source forest is yet could be more dangerous than we thought.

“Somewhere here, my lord. ”

“Grrr...! A place of mystical power. ”

Like Ian, who first arrived in the forest, Ian's summoners were wandering around with strange expressions.

At that moment, a lot of people laughed at me because they found something.

“Phew...? ”

He looks around on the grass and continues to tilt his big head.

“Come on, lots of it. Is something wrong? ”

Ian asked a lot of questions with a curious look, but instead of answering many questions, he continued to explore the forest.

“ ……? ”

And after a while, he realized that his pupils began to get bigger and bigger.

“Oh, I get it...! ”

“Know what? ”

“Here, they say they know where it is! ”

And Ian's pupil, which listened to many people, began to get enlarged.
