The Great Spirit of Fire was showing off very powerful power.
It feels like my body is burning even though no substance is obviously burning.
In such a miraculous experience, the Great Spirit of Fire, who had raised a huge flame, opened his mouth.
“So why did you come? First of all, the reason you came is because a branch of the World Tree was stolen.”
“To be exact, they wanted to ask the professors, not me, but there was no justification, so they included us.”
“What is it? Wasn’t he a professor?”
“Can’t you tell by my appearance? I’m not an elf.”
Because elves live so long, they are usually very lazy.
Of course, it’s not a specific thing, it’s just a different culture.
There are creatures in the world that starve to death if they do not eat within two hours.
From that creature’s point of view, humans who sleep for eight hours a day would be extremely lazy creatures.
“We have also sent some humans in. I even received the elf’s blessing and enjoyed the same lifespan as an elf.”
“I know. On the other hand, if that blessing disappears from an elf, their lifespan will remain the same.”
“So why did someone who wasn’t a professor come to me? What is my obligation to help with that?”
The Great Spirit of Fire is a form of flame with will.
I don’t know what bullshit this is, but that’s how it was described in the WFS setup house.
That’s why it’s fiery, lively, and radical.
Instead, it is that hot and warm.
When humans use fire, it helps keep warm and cook.
If something goes wrong, it’s similar to a disaster like a fire.
“For now, I can tell you. First of all, there is a chance that you will understand.”
“Really? What is it?”
He said it slowly.
“Sleeping herb, 2 tablets of seedling flower, boiled sweetly, and circulates the aura through a specific pattern.”
“What is that?”
“If you drink the juice made in that way, you will fall into a state of suspended animation.”
“It looks like that when you look at the ingredients. Why is that?”
You’re so hot-tempered.
The real thing starts from here.
“When humans sleep like that, they can see the world of images. It was a lake where the leaves of plants gave off a luminous blue glow in a place with an overall blue glow.”
“But.”
“It is a world of images. That is why the soul exists, not the human body.
And the water naturally reflects images. Looking at that lake, a person can see his or her soul.”
“Keep saying it.”
“And I could see. There, I met a spirit who said he was a spirit.”
“How… It looks like… ?”
At this point, it’s clear.
That guy is the spirit king.
The beings worthy of the Great Spirit’s attention are the World Tree, its guardians, and the Spirit Kings. There are only three beings.
Because the World Tree is the most powerful divine tree.
The guardian of the World Tree is the representative of that sacred tree.
This is because the Spirit King is simply a being higher than themselves.
“The being told me to come here. It is said that this technique originally originated from spirits. So he told me to go to the Great Forest.”
“So what does it look like?”
“I don’t know. At first he imitated my soul, but after that he just became transparent.
All I could see was distortion spreading gently, like a wave created when a stone is thrown into a lake.”
“Nonsense… ”
I was just telling the truth.
As if that was the truth, the Great Spirit of Fire looked somewhat embarrassed.
Perhaps that being was the Spirit King.
I don’t know what kind of spirit king he is.
“So what technique did he talk about?”
“This.”
I begin operating the Aurors immediately.
Ghost swordsmanship is a technique that intervenes in the soul through aurors, the source of human life.
body and spirit. Although the two appear to be opposites, they are actually closely connected.
When life ends, the connection between body and soul is lost.
In other words, what holds the soul is life.
And Aurors are the source of life.
So, if you can manipulate aurors, it is theoretically possible to manipulate souls.
Therefore, the Ghost Sword Technique, which temporarily creates a problem with the Aura and separates the soul from the body, was able to detect even spirits, which are spiritual bodies.
Soul feels soul.
If the body and soul become distant, the closer they become to the soul.
Energy mixed with soul starting to leave my body.
The Great Spirit of Fire also looked puzzled, perhaps realizing that my ghost sword technique was not something ordinary.
However, the anticipation of knowing the correct answer was short-lived.
He also had a puzzled expression.
“To be precise, I am also… I don’t know? What on earth is that?”
“Yes? If the Great Spirit doesn’t know, then who does?”
“So. If this is what the Spirit King asked for, then assuming what you say is true, here is the answer… ”
“Hmm. I can’t really find an answer.”
The Great Spirit of Fire thought of many things, trying to figure something out somehow.
He didn’t seem to find the answer in the end.
Unfortunately, there was no time to delay, so I decided to leave.
“Then, next time I have time, I will visit. If anything comes to mind, please contact me.”
“Yes. Then see you next time. For now, I’ll contact you if anything comes to mind.”
With those words, I left the building where the Great Spirit of Fire lived.
Maybe we’ll meet again next time if we have a chance.
Life here is going to be quite long.
At least until the secret about the branches of the World Tree is revealed, the elves will not send away any number of professors.
And if you capture professors, you can actually threaten them.
There is a threat that if it is sold, problems may arise with the lives of these professors.
‘Of course, if you think about the criminal’s tendencies… ‘That won’t happen, though.’
I know the culprit.
And that’s why I know better than anyone else that the culprit will not be caught.
So until everything ends on this earth.
I have no intention of finding the culprit.
Ghost Swordsmanship and the Elven Empire that existed in the past.
And the incident where the branches of the World Tree leaked out.
Although I know the culprit.
I don’t think all of these events happened by chance.
The branches of the world tree and the ghost sword technique all happened in WFS.
something. There must be some kind of relationship.
So I have to find it.
Even if only to obtain the last piece to create the body that Ygrasil would possess, which he said could be obtained in this land.
========
When I returned to the hotel, several people gathered around me.
The words they said were all similar.
Did you go into the women’s bathhouse?
How was it?
At that time, most of the questions were about how the measuring instrument was broken.
“So where did you go?”
“Did you really succeed in entering the women’s bathhouse? Didn’t the girls say something?”
“Tell me the top 5 bodies you have taken among you guys.”
“Abraxas! So what happened!!”
“Hey. So, please teach me. How did you break the measuring device?”
The characteristic of boys is that they become friends quickly.
When people become friends, they treat each other rudely.
Most of the people who come here are friends with me.
About 1/6 or 1/7 of the first-year male cadets at the academy talked to me.
It’s because I haven’t paid much attention to my status.
It’s not as much as people I’ve been close with for a long time, like Theseus and Lucas.
At least they’re not my political enemies or awkward, so I’ve already started talking to them.
And from their point of view, they are also giggling as if the stupid things I do are funny.
‘It’s strange that men don’t become friends when they fight each other in the first place.’
Right away, my father said he would speak informally with the Duke of Winterfield in private, so he said everything.
In formal events such as New Year’s wedding ceremonies, everyone uses the honorific expression.
In private, speaking informally is the norm.
‘Of course, not all of them are like that.’
Barons and commoners of lower status are watching from afar.
Most of the people who talk to me are viscounts or counts.
It’s not that I discriminate, but there are times when friends fight.
In that case, if there is a gap in status, it can be a huge blow.
Of course, seeing as he opened his ears and pretended not to be interested, I guess he was curious about what I was saying.
“IC… Abraxas. So next time you have a great idea like that, tell me. I’ll go into the women’s bath too.”
“Hey. You survived because you were that guy. If you had gone in, you would have been accused of being a pervert, beaten, and dragged out.
“Hey. I beat up 100 women. What happens the moment you go in there? A few women were just like that~”
“You? With that face? Abraxas, passing by, will laugh.”
“Hey. Why am I synonymous with an asshole to you guys?”
“Wasn’t it?”
“Wow. He says he’s normal. Crazy guy.”
A truly meaningless conversation.
In some ways, this is a positive function of the academy.
The business relationship is strong though.
The moment the business disappears, it becomes lighter than anything else.
However, the upper limit for relationships structured in this way is less high than for business relationships.
But the lower limit is much higher than for business.
That’s why nobles try to send them to prestigious academies.
Because relationships built this way can never be ignored.
If these bastards ask for help, I will take their side.
Well, in this case, Theseus and I actually don’t care much about social status.
This may be because no personal factions are created, so everyone can get along well.
That’s why I was able to say something to these guys with confidence.
“Hey. I have somewhere to go tonight.”
“Why? Let the girls explore?”
“You. Do you think I’m crazy about women after seeing that I dumped all the girls who confessed to me?”
“Yes. That deceiver. The Lady of Haliburg shyly confessed, but she was full. It’s a fucking baby, but it’s right to not reveal a woman.#◦
“The Lady of Haliburg? Lady? Isn’t it really pretty?”
“So you’re a deceiver. You only get seven hits.”
“No, some bastard remembers my confession from 9 years ago! You weren’t even close to me back then, so why do you remember that!”
“Because I liked it back then?”
“Wow. You are confident. Anyway, it’s not related to women. I have something to do. So just pretend I’m sleeping.”
The characteristic of men is that they criticize each other but listen when they are serious.
This is a mental connection, like a kind of collar.
If it seems serious, they will listen.
Even now, something seems urgent, so I’m actually trying to listen.
This is probably possible because I know better than anyone else that there is a line even in pranks.
Of course, it was true that I was anxious, so I made a promise.
“I will let you go once this is over.”
“Really!? It’s true!!”
“Uh. Don’t you believe it?”
“Can you believe it?”
So I decided to give them a reward.
Because they are crazy about women, they are like that.
A woman can just ask the princess.
Then it will be taken care of.
I went to sleep with a restless mind.
If night comes now.
I plan to visit another Great Spirit.
Other great spirits may know the truth.
Because the Great Spirit of Fire may have delivered false information.
‘What on earth is this?’
It’s still full of doubts.
Is there some kind of secret that caused the various stories to spread?
What on earth is the ghost sword method?
What else do the branches of the World Tree have to do with each other?
‘You’ll find out someday.’
I can only trust the Spirit King who at least saw through my identity.
========
There was a being revered as a god.
However, that being originally had no abilities.
But from one day on, he came to be revered as a god.
From then on, I was able to acquire a lot of various rare things.
And there were cases where those various rare items were truly given special powers.
Eventually, when a very long time had passed.
That being has become a truly special being.
A being who was not a god is mistaken for a god.
In the end, if you gain powers comparable to God.
Since that being eventually reached God, is it God?
Or is it heresy because it impersonates God?
No one will be able to define it unless it is a being that was originally a god.
But one thing is certain.
Whether it is God,
Heresy or something.
For some, it may be the fact that he is a real god.
