The 31st Piece Turns the Tables Chapter 37

Episode 37

“Where…?”

A woman named Prine seemed to have sensed the extraordinary nature of the multi-spirit ship and squirmed for a while.

Griz was a genius with a different way of thinking than others. The inventions he designed defied existing notions.

‘Did you find out that it was Griz’s item?

The two wizards exchanged glances and said this to Kang Seol.

“There is no problem. Just…”

“Just?”

“Can I know where this item comes from?”

It was a question Kangseol had expected, so he skillfully answered it.

“It’s difficult for me to say anything about him because he doesn’t like his identity to be revealed.”

“Oh my… haha. “The craftsman who created and designed something like this can’t be an ordinary person.”

“Anyway, is registration finished?”

The man thought of a reason to get more information from Kang Seol, but then he remembered that he had to stop by here one more time before leaving anyway, and said with relief.

“Well… yes it’s here. “You can bring the spirit’s body or spirit into the spirit box.”

“All right.”

“Oh, and it looks like a troubling problem has occurred nearby.”

“A troublesome problem?”

“I heard that some of the adventurers who came to support disappeared…”

“Are they missing?”

“That’s the kind of talk going on internally. However, it is likely that it will take some time for the search to be carried out as it coincides with a time when the Magic Tower has no spare time.”

It means that if you go into the forest and run into trouble, you should try to survive on your own because they won’t look for you.

Snowfall sighed, nodded, and went into the forest.

* * *

The environment here seemed to have been greatly affected by the spirit flood.

In some places the forest had strange growths in the trees and small streams were overflowing. Not only were there swamps where your feet were sinking, but there were also places where heat rose from the cracked ground.

‘That’s bullshit. At first glance, you might not even know it’s a great forest.’

As long as spirits use this place as a playground, the forest will quickly die. Maybe he was already out of breath.

Snowfall unfolded the blueprint for the multi-spirit ship belt obtained from the 81st Research Institute.

The blueprint was full of information that Griz kindly explained.

How the spirit bag works, what spirit should go into each box, and what power is expected.

There were even instructions written on how to coax the corresponding spirit.

As befits a continental genius, the content was witty and his intelligence stood out.

After briefly looking at the blueprint, Kangseol was able to guess why this belt was left unfinished.

‘It was annoying.’

That part was also mentioned in the commentary written by Griz himself.

– I couldn’t check it myself because another inspiration occurred to me, but it was perfect in theory, so I guess I could just implement it as written in the blueprint…

After that, I was full of excuses as to why I couldn’t finish this belt until the end.

‘Anyway, first of all, is it the Spirit of Verdant?’

Now that I knew how to use the spirit box, I couldn’t stay still. Kangseol had a specific goal in mind, but he wasn’t the type to hesitate.

First, Snowfall walked into the forest to capture the verdant spirit, which was known to be the most gentle.

Whiiiiiii…

The deeper we went in, the thicker the bushes became.

As the dense vegetation blocked the sunlight, the light gradually diminished.

Snowfall was actually more comfortable that way.

Not only was his eyesight bright at night, but the spirit he was looking for was easier to find the darker it was.

Rotten trees and leaves were creating a damp smell.

The first day of searching for the Snow Spirit passed like that.

Cracking… crackling…

That night, he lit a bonfire and fell asleep, driving away the chill.

There was no need to prepare anything separately for danger.

Even while he was sleeping, Jamard and Karuna took turns patrolling the surrounding area.

At times like this, I realized that I had made a good decision to choose the profession of summoner.

It’s been 3 days since then.

Snowfall was getting tired from the continued forced march.

‘That’s why they gave us one month.’

The great forest was incredibly huge.

Fortunately, the boundary stone was on the outside of the forest, so if it had been located deeper, we would have already been dealing with monsters.

It was then.

Hwii.

‘hmm? The wind…’

The smell of wet trees hit the tip of my nose.

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

‘Green?’

Chiri ring…

A clear sound like a brilliant bead rolling around caught his ears. A green light was spreading out in the distance.

Snowfall steadily walked towards that place.

‘Here it is.’

And when he finally arrived at the place where the light spread, he found spirits glowing green.

Chi-Ri-Rin… Chi-Rin…

the sound from earlier flowed from their bodies.

Green spirits with a body size of about 1 meter. They were about the height of a child in infancy and looked like fat acorns.

Chiriling…

One of them approached Kangseol. It felt like he was saying something with his eyes.

Naturally, since Kang Seol had not learned the spirit language, he could only guess the other person’s intentions.

An option came to mind to ease his discomfort.

[The Spirit of Verdant has been found. What should I do?]

1. Kill.

2. Kidnap.

3. Try to have a conversation.

4. Follows around.

5. [Required: Elementalist] Demands obedience.

…

The only decent options were 3 and 4, and it was obvious that a conversation would be useless if only one side knew the language, so Kang Seol chose option 4.

From then on, Kang Seol was careful about his actions and followed the verdant spirit.

Chiring…

The verdant spirit stroked the tree and even hugged Snowfall’s leg, mistaking it for a tree.

– Acorn, welcome

– Ears… cute…

– Ugh… heart… it’s a dangerous creature

– Run away! Snowmen are cruel!

– I’m getting hungry just looking at you! be careful!

Kang Seol chased after the verdant spirit with the mindset of taking care of her nephew.

It’s already been two days.

No matter how cute your nephew was, you would get stressed if you had to take care of him for two days in a row.

However, he walked three steps behind the verdant spirit with a calm smile, wondering what was so good about this tedious process.

The moment Kang Seol lost her thoughts, she remembered that there was a time like this.

‘I see.’

I once had this experience when rolling dice outside of the eternal world.

I felt the same way as I did now when I was traversing a battlefield where blood splattered and flesh fell to the ground, and for a moment I experienced a comfortable adventure away from the central events of the world.

Perhaps he had been exhausted without realizing it after going through the previous five intense adventures.

I felt as if all my thoughts and worries were washed away.

[Contact with the verdant spirit for a long period of time.]

[Spiritual power increases permanently by 1.]

[Resistance to mental magic slightly increases.]

Although she did not specifically aim for this, Snowfall was once again pleased by the message that came to her mind. .

Snowfall continued to chase the verdant spirit.

The verdant spirit, which had been doing various pastimes for two days, eventually flowed to the withered land.

The Great Forest was originally a place with abundant water.

It was clearly the trick of another spirit that this dryness had been created locally in such a place.

Chi-Ring…

The verdant spirit stroked the ground.

Then something strange happened.

Susss…

A fairly large area of land quickly became moist and grass and flowers sprouted.

Instead, the verdant spirit seemed to be feeling tired. My eyelids went down further than before.

Sak… Sak…

The verdant spirit used magic with tired eyes. Soon, a wreath made of flowers was placed in the spirit’s hands.

Kuk kuk.

“Bow?”

Nod.

When Kangseol bows his head, the verdant spirit puts a wreath on his head.

And then he was staring at the snowfall. It was as if he had finished his work and was waiting for something to be said.

“shall we go together?”

Nod.

Snowfall opened one of the spirit boxes in the spirit pouch.

Click.

Slurp…

The verdant spirit was sucked into it.

As the spirit box was filled with green light, a message came to mind.

[The verdant spirit Qiling has been captured.]

[Green has been secured.]

[The type of spirit currently captured: 1]

[Green is in the spirit pouch.]

* * *

Crack… thump.

Snowfall, sitting in front of the bonfire, looked at the bonfire with blank eyes.

‘Are there only two so far?’

Green and orange have been the harvest so far.

One month wasn’t as leisurely as I thought. Since I’ve already used it for 5 days, I had to speed up from now on.

If it had been another adventure, I would have already gone back to Nobira.

“Green green… Is it morning?”

After the verdant spirit, we got orange, the morning spirit.

The other adventurers would have gaped at the thought of capturing two types of spirits in such a short period of time, but Kang Seol was disappointed.

‘Isn’t the spirit of the night coming again today?’

A purple night spirit.

It’s a spirit that you encounter when you’re active at night, but it was a mistake to expect that you’d already encounter it.

I thought that if we continued like this, we would at least meet within the time limit.

‘By the way, does Grizz’s belt become effective starting from the third time?’

The abilities of the spirit pouch are strengthened each time the spirit box is filled.

The minimum standard is 3 spirit boxes. Snowfall hasn’t even reached that standard yet.

“Whoa… hm?”

Rustle.

I could clearly feel the presence of people in the bushes. It was as if it had been done on purpose.

“Who is it?”

“Ah… er… don’t be on guard.”

Sasak…

A woman who looked like a college freshman jumped out from the bushes.

Snowfall saw her scratched here and there and thought she was lost in the forest.

“Excuse me, but can I get some light?”

Kang Seol closed his mouth for a moment, looked at her, and then turned his head towards the fire.

“Come this way.”

“thank you!”

“Are you lost?”

“Yes…”

The woman looked just like a drowned rat.

His hair was a mess and blood was seeping here and there. It was determined that the archer was carrying an arrow sheath on his back.

The two sat facing each other for a while, basking in the campfire.

Snowfall asked because it was the right time.

“What about the group?”

“no. “You came here alone in the first place…”

“That’s right.”

“But thanks to you, I can sleep well tonight…”

“What’s your name?”

“Han… Han Seo-ryeong. “What about you?”

“No sir. “It’s snowing.”

“Ah yes.”

“Here’s Cocoa.”

“Thank you…”

Whoop…

crack… crack…

As the awkward atmosphere continued, Snowfall only scratched the distant ground.

– Shock! The Snowman’s name turns out to be Snowfall…

– Snowfall? snowfall? no wonder! Why did I say Snowman?

How can a person’s name be Snowman? Hahaha

, as the viewers who learned Kang Seol’s real name for the first time were chatting, a sound was heard from far away.

thud. Ugh…

I could even feel the shaking in the ground.

It definitely seemed like something was approaching.

Cooung.

“uh? Uh… there….”

“I heard.”

Coo…

The midnight intruder didn’t seem to be good at stealth.

Because his body glowed red. Moreover, it is huge.

He was smaller than Jamad, but bigger than Karuna.

“I think it’s a spirit…”

“Yes.”

“There are several of them?”

“I can see it.”

“Should I run away too? How… that spirit ship!”

– Monster Ball!

– Haha, you’re making a fuss.

“No, you can just stay still.”

“yes? “Isn’t it dangerous?”

“If you think of it as punishment, it’s okay.”

– A fucking big punishment

– Is that what they call punishment these days? Haha.

Five or six wiggling flames came to a halt next to Kang Seol and Han Seo Ryeong. And then I sat quietly and warmed myself by the campfire.

Most spirits do not target humans unless they attack them first. I don’t know if it’s just a joke.

‘Besides, I didn’t light a bonfire for no reason.’

The spirit of sparks comes wherever there is fire.

Of course, I didn’t expect that such a large family would come to Snowfall.

Han Seo-ryeong and Kang Seol remained still and just stared at the bonfire.

As Kangseol’s shoulders began to feel stiff, the sparkling spirit sitting next to Kangseol looked down at her. Although it was huge, it was a spirit as gentle as a sheep on the inside.

When I looked into the spirit’s eyes, it seemed sleepy.

“Do you want to go in and sleep?”

Nod.

Snowfall opened the spirit box.

Click.

Whirring…

Han Seo-ryeong looked at Kang Seol’s actions with wide eyes.

In her opinion, it was because Kang Seol was skilled in manipulating spirits as if he were a trainer.

‘it’s okay!’

[Pozo, the spark spirit, has been captured.]

[Red has been secured.]

[Types of spirits currently captured: 3]
