Chapter 656: Spirits can Evolve?

The day after we arrived in Consenza, we return back to the castle to meet Lynn and Claudia and ask them about anything that the living armor can do.

“So, are you a monster or not?” Lynn asked Airy after we meet her in her office.

Although they have met before when I introduce Airy to Lynn, Lynn still asked Airy now whether she’s a monster or not. Though that’s something I don’t know as well. But I just don’t care.

“I’m an air spirit. That’s all I can say,” Airy said.

“That doesn’t answer the question at all,” Lynn said.

I wonder why Lynn is curious about it.

“Lynn, why are you curious about it? It’s not like it matters if Airy is a monster, a spirit, an animal, or a human, right?” I asked.

.....

“Actually, it matters. We have monster friends with us. And now, we have spirits. We can easily tell that Shelia, Graham, Arin, and the others are considered as monsters. But what about Airy and Breezy? I’m asking because I don’t know,” Lynn asked.

But what does it matter?

No, wait. This is Lynn. She might be weird and I consider her stupid from time to time. But once in a while, she’s pretty sharp. There must be something that she can’t explain it well. I just need to understand her.

I looked at Claudia and Celestine who are also confused with Lynn’s intention in asking that question. Though I’m sure they are also confused and curious about whether Airy is a monster or not.

What is it that makes a creature considered as monster? Can a human be considered as monster?

They can. Like that Professor who experimented on children, he can be considered as monster. But that’s not what Lynn’s mean I’m sure.

Oh, magic! That’s it!

“Lynn, are you actually asking if a tamer can tame a spirit like how they tame a monster? Or summoner can summon a spirit from Monsters World? And the spirits can be their familiars?” I asked Lynn.

“Yeah, right! That’s what I’m asking!” Lynn said.

“Now that you mention it. I think it will be troublesome if the cult’s tamers or summoners have spirits as their familiars. Those spirits can be used to help their mages to improve their magic. Maybe they’re the reason why the cult have so a lot of master level mage now,” I said

I started thinking if there are spirits among the cult’s monsters. And that scares me of how they can grow stronger.

If it’s just me or my friends, we can kill any average master level mages. But other people can’t. It will be hard for them to do it. That’s why it will be troublesome if the cult have a lot of spirits.

“...Now that we knew the existence of spirits, we need to have another countermeasure. We can’t do anything about spirits who have made a contract with the cult or willingly join them. But we can do something about those who are still out there in the wild. I guess it’s up to you, Roy. We need you to befriend as many spirits as you can find during your tour with the circus,” Claudia suggested.

It was just luck that we could find Airy and Breezy. It’s also because I am sensitive to the air around me that I can find them. But for spirits of other elements, it’s better if other people with correspondent element can find them.

“Airy, do you know about other elemental spirit that exist?” I asked Airy.

“I don’t know everything. But I guess there are spirits of each magical element. And at least I know that there are more air spirits than just me,” Airy said.

“So you have meet other air spirits?” I asked.

“Breezy was air spirit,” Airy said it casually.

“Wait, what!? Isn’t he a wind spirit?”

“He is now. But he was an air spirit like me. But since he moves around so much, he became a wind spirit,” Airy said.

...So, because he was air spirit, and he moves around so much, he became wind spirit. Simply because wind is moving air.

If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean that it’s possible for my air magic to evolve into wind magic?

Hmm... no. I like air magic as it is. But if I can use both air magic and wind magic, without having to lose my air magic, that would be perfect.

Airy then told us how she met Breezy. It was just that they existed at the same place. Back before they were being chased by Timmy for fun. That crazy Timmy who keeps annoying me even after death.

Since they were together, they decided to call each other brother and sister. Though they were not alone. They also met other spirits in the past, Airy can’t remember where they were. After all, it has been so long.

“Hmm... new information. Claudia, go tell the other kings about it. I will also try to find more spirits on the way. Share it with all the agents about the existence of spirits and if any of them could be found, try to make them our allies,” I said to Claudia.

She then contacted Sonia and Sonia deliver the messages to not only the four kings, but also Yuria as well.

“Albert said that it’s best for everyone to gather around again in two days. We can also introduce Yuria to the other kings as well as get Henry to introduce us to Varadis’ soon-to-be king,” Sonia said.

“Let’s do that. Now, Claudia, can you tell me if there are any bandits, monsters, or any wanted individuals that I can hunt?” I asked Claudia.

“Here’s the list. There are also posters of wanted criminals as well whom we thought should be in Consenza. Though I don’t know which area they are hiding,” Claudia said.

She gives me a stack of documents. And I then split those information with Victoria who will act as another living armor who will move differently from me. She will be accompanied with Ray so she can use Aura a bit.

“Okay. Airy, are you sure you want to come with me? It will get bloody wherever I go,” I said.

I don’t want to force her to come with me when I’m killing people. That’s why I asked her.

“I’m fine. Though I still want to eat more cakes,” Airy replied.

“More of them? Why can’t you feel full!? It’s bad for my money if you keep eating,” I said.

Well, then it’s time for me to leave. I get Victoria and Ray transported with a portal to somewhere far from the capital of Consenza, while I will travel mainly around the capital and the neighboring cities.

Celestine is busy with renovating the castle with a lot of hidden passages so she won’t come. And with just her in the castle, the Empress will be safe.

And when I was about to leave, like usual, jumping out of the window, I see a girl is hurriedly running here. Toward Lynn’s office.

“Oh, someone is coming,” I said casually.

I heard that everyone here should know who I am already. So, I don’t need to hide. And if it’s someone who doesn’t know me, that means they are enemies. Let’s see how she will react.

Without even knocking, the girl entered the office. Is that how you should act in front of your leader?

“Excuse me, your majesty! There’s an emergency! Wait, an intruder!? An intruder is here! Who are you!?”

Whoa, she doesn’t know me? Well, even if she knows that I’m Roy that their Empress is talking about, it’s not like they know my appearance. No one has a painting of my face. It’s normal that they don’t know me.

“I’m your Empress’ future brother-in-law,” I said.

Though it’s not a lie. Celestine said that she’ll be my lover in the future. When she can feel that children will be able to live in peace.

“Empress’ brother-in-law? Oh, I’ve heard it before. So you’re Roy,” the girl said.

I guess she’s not an enemy. But has it been spread that I’m going to be Lynn’s brother-in-law in the future?

“When I asked Lynn why she hasn’t find any marriage candidate, she said that I also don’t have one so I need to get married first. And I told her that I’ll be your wife in the future. I guess she spread it then,” Celestine said casually.

Probably Lynn spread it when she’s drunk or something. I can see her looking at me with anger. Just stop being a spoiled little sister, will you? Your big sister is free to do anything she wants.

“Anyway, what’s the emergency?” Claudia asked.

“There’s a rebellion near the capital! The Duke started a rebellion and they are moving here!” the girl said.

A rebellion? During a war against the cult?

Hmm... I have never heard of any rebellion in my past life. But at that time, information from another country is hard to get.

Well, I guess this is also a good chance for the living armor to make his move. Stopping a rebellion will surely increase the reputation of the living armor.

Then, let’s stop the rebellion.
