I was flabbergasted for a moment by the words Lumi told me.
Spirit contractors and great spirits are the same thing? What does that mean? Though thought-provoking, I donât give answersâŠ. No, maybe itâs right that you donât want to admit it.
Still, we have to be sure. Otherwise, we cannot move forward or leave. Pandoraâs box is already open. Then I just have to peek into the bottom.
â⊠to say that the Spirit Contractor is the same as the Great Spirit, isnât the Spirit Contractor human?
âRight? Shall I be more precise? Spirit contractors areâ spirits with human vessels. âYou are also right to come together and call aâ willing spirit âwith an entity the Great Spirit. But if you trace its origins, youâll say,â Originally the result of the Spirit Contractor. â
â⊠no exceptions?
âAt least Iâve never seen you.â
âSo, what about God? Are you saying that God is human too?
âCome on? I donât know that either. But sometimes the Great Spirit, who became the Spirit Contractor, becomes like God. Paradoxically, I canât tell you that the activity of the Great Spirit was communicated to future generations, and itâs not possible that he became known as God. I wonder if thatâs what a great spirits older than me would know? If youâre still in the world, though.â
A rhumi with a distorted smile that caught the edge of his mouth tells him to mock it.
âThe Spirit covenant makes you lose everything because the price of the Spirit covenant⊠is your own soul?
âCorrectâ
I accidentally bit my teeth enough to get a toothpick.
This is why the spiritual covenant did not remain a record until future generations? Yeah, maybe I am. I donât even think the price is close to such an evil law of my soul.
âThatâs just not an accurate interpretation. In the old days, anyway, thereâs a different interpretation of losing everything in this day and age. âCause the spiritual contractor makes a pact, and the spirits areâ themselves. â
â⊠what do you mean?
âI told you, didnât I? You are aâ rare man. âA rare child with no spirit in his soul. But people in this world are big and small, and they have spirits in their souls. And the Spirit greatly influences the formation of self. I mean, like half a body.â
â⊠a spiritual covenant means a covenant with its inner spirits?
âI will offer you my soul as a human being for what it cost you, but the spirits that I give you will not change who you are again.â
â⊠if thatâs all you ask, I feel like itâs just a good thing, but isnât it?
I ask as I look at the Rhumi. Lyumi then leans her little neck with a full ripped grin.
âIsnât that obvious? But the degree of difference varies from person to person. If you are a soul close to the Spirit, you will have less influence. Like the lady there, for example?
Uffi, with his gaze pointed at him, makes him jump on his shoulder to shrug. But it was also in an instant that I showed upset that I immediately asked Lhumi back.
â⊠Am I close to the Spirit?
âRight. Itâs my view, isnât itâ critical â? Youâre so weak as a person.â
Yufi is breathtaking at Lumiâs point. Step straight on the dance and step back. I pull such a Uffi hand, try to shelter it on my back and attract it.
I noticed that Yufiâs hand was shaking a little and gripped him hard.
â⊠Yufi is a human being.â
âYeah, Iâm myself like thin ice. Sounds more like a miracleâŠ. Oh, maybe itâs ancestral.â
âAncestry?â
âDoes the Duke of Magenta draw royal blood, too? Then it is impeccable as the flesh that becomes the vessel of the Spirit. Strange kids. I canât believe you have a royal child even though you donât have one, and a child even though youâre not royal. What a chigu.â
â⊠youâre familiar with it.â
âRight? Because this is still a living witness from the founding years.â
â⊠what?
âThis is a fact that Orphans doesnât even know.â Distant descendants â?â
Descendants, I accidentally stared at the appearance of Rhumi when I was told. The color of that hair is platinum. The color is very similar to mine, and this color is said to be a testament to the royal family.
You noticed the change in my appearance, with a garlic grin, Lyumi tells her with her hands on her chest.
âAnd the first queenâŠ!? Thereâs no such thing as a queen in the Kingdom of Palettia!?â
With an incredible name, me and Uffi give a voice of surprise. And I just laughed at Llumi for not saying I was happyâŠâŠ Llumiel goes on with the words.
âAh. Thatâs what I forbid to keep in history. It must have been weathered and forgotten.â
âHow could you do that?
âThat would be a long story. Iâll welcome you, stay with me. You canât just go home, can you?
Lumiel turns his back and goes to the back of the woods. Before we lose sight of it, me and Uffi go into the back of the woods like weâre going after that back, too.
Keep heading to the Oz and youâll get to the wooden cabin. I have some pretty old signs, but it doesnât look like itâs going to decay in wonder.
Llumiel goes in first and the lights light up inside the room when he rings his fingers. It looked like a lamp, but if you look closely, thereâs a spirit inside that was shown earlier, and if you look at it, youâre laughed at as a jerk.
â⊠itâs like a witchâs house.â
âWitch! There were times when they called me that. I miss you.â
â⊠can Master Llumiel really be revealed as the son of the first king?
âI donât need a word of respect. I stopped being royal a long time ago. Iâm just your distant grandmother.â
There are no chairs or desks in the house. pointing straight over the rug, Llumiel lowers his hips to the floor. Me and Uffi also mimic Llumiel and lower their hips.
âWell, what can I tell you from?
âThere are so many things Iâd like to ask⊠is it true that you were the daughter of the first king and the first queen?
âThereâs nothing I can prove. I didnât erase the trace of me.â
â⊠how could you do that?
Rhumiel shut his mouth once to Yufiâs inquiry. If LĂŒmiel waved his fingers, the Spirit carried the vessel with flutter. Hand it to us, and Llumiel waves his finger again.
Then water born in the air is poured into the vessel. Llumiel likewise takes the vessel and drinks it with water inside.
âAs you can see, youâve been doing the Great Spirit for a long time. This can be a hassle.â
âI am the daughter of the first king. Now, I live like that because Iâve turned into a great spirit. So, what about the first king?
â⊠the first king was also a spiritual contractorâ
I also drink the water in the vessel and moisten my throat, which I was thirsty for. I can only imagine nasty in the back of my brain.
âLlumiel, you⊠you didnât take the throne, did you?
âHuh?â
Uffiâs face as if he had been poked in the void in my inquiry, and Llumiel, in contrast, remains smiling.
Nothing Llumiel hasnât answered. I just laugh like I say thatâs the answer. Ask as Uffi has ceased.
âHow could you rob meâŠâ
âThink about it, Uffi. If Llumielâs story is true, the Spirit Contractor can go well beyond human life expectancyâŠ. Then why does the first king have to replace him?
â!? Well thatâsâŠâŠ but isnât it necessary to change generationsâŠâŠ?
âWhat do you think? Wouldnât that be Llumiel telling us the answer?
âRight. Itâs probably a hit. Iâm the one who killed the first king.â
Llumiel laughs as she puts her hands on her chest and makes her look proud. I look at Llumiel like Uffi says he doesnât understand.
â⊠there was only abstract content in examining the history of nation-building. I was unhappy to leave you, but you didnât allow me to leave you?
âRight. I can say yes, and I can say no. Iâm sure it wasnât me who did it first and my kids who did it afterwards.â
â⊠did you kill your own father? Thatâs the king tooâŠ?
Unbelievable, Yufi shakes her headâŠ. be taught that the First King is a great being for the nobility of the Kingdom of Palettia. But I donât know who that person is or life is. Itâs just that great trajectory is told.
I canât believe the first king of honor was murdered by his real daughter. And itâs really hard to believe that her daughter is the first queen to be erased from history and now sheâs right in front of us like this.
âBelieve it or not, youâre on your own.â
â⊠assuming thatâs true, you killed the first king because you wereâ immortal, âunlimited?
âYouâve been very calm, havenât you?⊠Yes. First king, your father was perfect. He had the spirituality to cast himself aside for men, and obeyed the Spirit, and God prepared him as he did. He was an ideal king, just like the one he painted. But the king was only the king.â
Llumiel changes his mocking look and tells him to stare away somewhere. That also resembles a gaze at someone whoâs no longer there, and thereâs no disdain there.
Rather, I was able to read warm emotions that could even be described as dear. Itâs really important and still makes me feel like Iâve let go of it.
If thatâs meant to be directed at the other person who killed him with his own hands⊠it must be a story told in the name of tragedy.
âFather gave up all his soul in a spiritual covenant. And obeyed the Spirit, and became a signpost for those who suffered in their plight, and were worshipped as kings. Just to save people, to protect the country. I admired myself and kept reaching out to those who believed. And thatâs what itâs become.â
⊠You canât call me human if youâve gone that far already. Itâs a âkingâ. I can only say how âkingâ works.
A âkingâ who abandoned men to save them. A selfless savior who reigned with immense power. Good if thatâs the existence of the story. But that selfless king of salvation has certainly become real in the person who made his name in history.
âMy father made a proper inheritance, didnât he? Because it is the King who does so. But my father is not old, he does not fade, he does not change. He continued to reign as just the immutable, the supreme king he wantedâŠ. eventually even the people will be so fanatical. Eventually, it changed as much as it wanted to rule the world.â
â⊠so you killed the first kingâ
âYep. It was then that Father was notâ the king who saves the plight of the people â, but onlyâ the king who fulfills the desires of the people â. The good king, whom he desired for his people, was turned into a tyrant by the desire of a people like no otherâŠ. What do you think if you put this in history? Should I call him the Demon King?â
hold his stomach, rhumiel says, laughing in a queasy manner. It also looked like a madman, but it only seemed to me that I could keep myself by behaving that way.
The covenant of the Spirit made him the good king that the people desired, and it turned him into the evil king by the desire of the people. Give me my soul as a man until I do it for my people. And at the end of the day it became the receptacle to the desires of the people, and it was the existence and the fruit to be discussed.
It was my daughter who took it. Oh, itâs a tragedy thatâs not really rocky.
âIn terms of results alone, I killed my father and took my country and became queen. And my father, me, and the Spirit disappeared by promising not to make matters in history about the covenant. I havenât been queen in less than a year. Thatâs not even history.â
â⊠and your child is our ancestor.â
âYou will. Iâm glad you didnât let the kid have the spiritual contract. I lost the way, too. It will affect your soul, but eventually it will fade by staying in touch with people. You didnât have to make a deal with the Spirit. You still had the power to be a nation. And the kingdom of Palettia began to walk in the true senseâ
âYou had a partner when you had kids, didnât you? Is that personâŠ?
To my inquiry LĂŒmiel shook his head quietly beside him. Give me a pale smile, not a sarcastic look.
She seems very loving, but hung up. You look careless, but proud. With such a complex look to remember, she says.
âIt was he who inherited the country as theâ son âof the first kingâŠ. thatâs what Iâm talking about. I donât know how my kids grew up either, by the way. Itâs the last thing I held when I was a baby.â
âOh noâŠâ
Yufi is biting her lips with an unspeakable look. If this were true, we would have found out behind the glorious history of the founding of the Kingdom of Palettia. What a headache.
âYou didnât even reveal it to your father, did you? Why did you reveal yourself to us?
âBecause the child was about to reach a spiritual covenant. I wonder if Iâd be interested in you later. So weâre still gonna make it, right? What kind of spiritual covenant is a man so chopped up that he inadvertently returns to his ancestors in our descendants and is born near the spirits to stop people? Thatâs the only thing.â
â⊠Could there have been moreâ rare people âlike me back in the day?
âNo, rare people are rare people. A rare one who can live without being sheltered from this world. It doesnât stand out in the Kingdom of Palettia, but there were a lot of kids in other countries who took names as greats.â
â⊠isnât it true that all civilians are rare?
âThatâs not whyâŠ?
Oh, no. Then why isnât there a spirit soul in meâŠ!
Are you telling me itâs caused by memories from a previous life?⊠I canât tell you how impossible that is!?
âRare is rare, but you canât use magic because itâs unfavourable from birth, or inferiorâŠ?
âIâm sure itâs theâ unbelievable. âBut theâ rare man âIâve seen has accomplished what has been called the impossible. Thereâs nothing magical about it.â
âI wanted to use that magic!
âThough I use spiritual stones for magic, which is the business of spirits, I think itâs so much more awesome to create them in the form of toolsâŠ? And flying in the sky what? Where did that idea come from? Itâs like a rare beast.â
âDonât call me a rare beast!
What a rude ancestor!⊠I know exactly what Lumiel is all about. If this is true, it tastes so bad that I canât tell you who I am in a detour.
If such facts are to be brightened, the foundation of the faith of the Kingdom of Palletia can be shaken. I donât like people whose faith is biased, but thatâs why I donât think it would be good to be doomed.
â⊠spiritual covenant means covenant with your inner spirits to exchange your souls, right?
âYes, I am.â
âBut itâs also true that itâs you, isnât it? What exactly are the after-effects?
âThere are differences in degrees, but the human body is no longer anything more than aâ vessel. âI guess I should just say Iâm going to lose my sense of being human. If itâs horrible, you can replace emotions, thoughts, desires with spiritual soles.â
â⊠so we lose everything. Does that mean joy as a person, life?
âThatâs right. âCause youâre gonna be a spirit. The future as a person is lost instead of gaining power. We canât get old, we canât go through time together, we just stay the same. None of this distracts me from maintaining the vessel. See? Youâll lose everything eventually, wonât you?
â⊠No way, Llumiel was the one who left the ban on examples?
I donât know.
I was deluded by a grin I wasnât sure what I was thinking.
But Iâve learned about spiritual covenants. Neither the reality nor the price of the contract may have been left as knowledge.
Right now, I think Iâm getting a hard look. Then Yufi also stared at Rhumiel with a serious look.
â⊠Lumiel, how much will the price be for someone with a soul close to the Spirit?
âIf youâre asking about your daughter herself, I guess itâs not so much the same asâ who I am now. âSeems like your ego as a person is initially thin, and I guess the Spirit is familiar with peopleâs senses a lot. And it hasnât even precipitated itself as a spirit. Itâs like a work of art, and if you were to lean on the spiritual side of it, you wouldnât feel the big price.â
â⊠youâre losing it just because you donât feel it, right?
Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
âMan and the Spirit are another being from the ground up. Isnâtâ confusing âenough?
âŠâŠ I have been pushed to silence by Llumielâs words. Different thoughts come to mind, disappear and repeat, and thoughts do not come together.
Did Uffi have the same thing or did she shut up with a serious look on her face? Look at us like that. Rhumiel gives her shoulders a whisper.
âAnyway, rest here today. Thereâs a lot to think about.â
I was looking up into the sky with my hips on high tree branches to sum up my thoughts.
The forest covered by branches is dark and the lights are indispensable at hand. Still, I donât even feel like staying at Rhumielâs residence, and Iâm getting blurred out here.
Iâm worried about Yufi, too. For my part, I thought I had to get my thoughts together by the time I talked to Uffi. Thatâs all the truth surrounding the Spirit covenant was too shocking.
â⊠I didnât think there was such a good story.â
Not much, no matter how much.
What is the honor of the First King? Its first king quit man in a spiritual covenant, and on top of that he turned into a monster that looked to conquer the world. By the way, itâs not even a joke that my real daughter would kill me. I just want you to be in that kind of creativity.
And the sprouts of the possibility that I could use magic also crushed. Llumiel says ârare manâ. A soul without a spirit in its soul. I canât resonate with the Spirit because I donât have the Spirit. I canât use magic.
If resonance becomes magic, I know it. âEngravedâ engraved on my back for me. This, if I may say so, is not a soul, but an engraved on my flesh. In the end, the spiritual covenant is no different from the engraving. Thatâs just the difference between carving it into a vessel called flesh or a vessel called soul.
âOh, my God, then magic is not evil.â
Itâs just a glorious feat, so they just believe itâs the right thing to do.
But the essence of magic is no different from the invention I created in my magic. In particular, it is extremely similar to engraving. Itâs not crap.
â⊠snap into bouldersâ
âOh, what snaps?
âHiya!?â
I feel like Iâm losing my balance because of the signs I suddenly felt. It was Llumiel who supported that body.
Soon she was âfloatingâ behind me. She sat next to me laughing strangely.
â⊠if you want to speak up, give me a sign.â
âHehe, Iâm sorryâ
âWhat are you doing here?
It really hits Lumiel hard. I feel terrible about it.
âI wanted to talk to you more, uh, Alice?
âNo! Anis! Anisphere!â
âIn anise, then. I can stay in the Ryumi, too, okay?
âOn your own, Llumielâ
Itâs not cute.
Donât poke me in the cheek, donât be nervous! I look at it unintentionally, but it doesnât look familiar at all.
âIf you mean the Great Spirit, give me some more majesty.â
âIt would be convenient for someone like that, wouldnât it? I didnât know that.â
âYou must be an ex-human!
âSomething I donât remember being raised as a human being. I am royal. I think you know what that means.
It was an abominable response. I stare at Llumiel with such a grin, hateful enough to want to bite me by accident.
âHeh heh, you grew up pretty depressed. Well, if itâs this country, I donât know what else to do? You didnât abandon your country much. Or destroy the country.â
â⊠Iâm not like youâ
âRight? Youâre human, Iâm a spirit. I just took peopleâs vessels.â
âYouâre a human being.â
âWhat I wanted to be was a fact.â
â⊠even though you were born as a person? You were a father who wasnât even Roku, the first king.â
âEither itâs the mother whoâs not Roku, or maybe itâs not the surroundings. Even though my father recognized me as a child, thatâs all. There is no major obstacle to theâ operation âof the country. Maybe a spare for when something happens to me, a pawn for diplomacy?
âNot good enough.â
Oh, really. There is no royalty. I thought so from the bottom of my heart.
â⊠hey, whatâs a spirit?
âOh, thatâs abrupt.â
âAnswer me, Great Spiritâ
âThe Spirit is a zero shard itself from the world. Nothing more or less.â
âThen whatâsâ God âwho created the Spirit?
âThe great will that created us, I would say. I wonder. Is there still a God in the real sense? Some of the great spirits calledâ God âhave seen each other face to face.â
â⊠what does Rhumiel think? Do you really think thereâs a god?
âI think he was.â But itâs not enough. Or youâre not willing to do anything. â
â⊠unwilling to do anything?
âIf there is a God, donât you think the Spirit will change the world as God wills? The light and darkness of the Origins created by God, and the subspecies spirits, beginning with the four great spirits elephant from the world. None of them would try toâ exchange something from themselves, âwould they? Isnât that Godâs will?
Llumiel makes sure to look further afield and talk pompous.
âThere were times when I was touring the world, looking for a being called God. I just never really met the God of Genesis. If there is a supernormal person whose existence as God truly portrays the law of the world, what is man born for and what does he live for? I wanted to throw that question at you.â
â⊠youâre not looking anymore? Did you find the answer?
âI told you earlier. Iâm not here anymore, or willing to do anything. God or not, this world doesnât change. The Spirit does not change either so that God does not change. It is manâs prayer, desire, and desire itself that always changes God and the Spirit. Thatâs magic.â
⊠Is the faith of the Ministry of Magic also wrong in a way? But the destination is not happiness as a person. Happiness as a Spirit.
So you shouldnât bind the country with that idea. Because we are human beings. Thereâs nothing wrong with being human even if you canât use magic. Until we abandon being that person, to the Spirit, um, man is not weak enough that we have to drown in our own prayers and wishes.
âPeople donât live for magic. Itâs good to work really hard and pray when you canât help it. I donât want to tell you that itâs a mistake to be saved. But giving up before that and drowning in prayer is⊠unacceptableâ
â⊠boulders, rare people. Every rare person Iâve ever seen looked like that.â
â⊠does Rhumiel know more about rare people?
âI can tell, to a certain extent. Itâs easy to understand because you donât feel spirits.â
â⊠you donât have any traits or anything? For example, you have memories of a previous lifeâŠâ
âYou ask strange things?
Llumiel looks at me with an astonishing look. I donât think I have any idea.
âYou seem to be even more unusual among rare people. Iâve never heard of you having memories of your past life. But everyone has been innovative. In that sense, you canât leak into that example either. As if thatâs the messenger of God.â
âThe messenger of God?
âYep. Nature and they arrive as if they were on a mission, to do what they have to do. And sometimes even if you risk your life to accomplish it. There is no miracle there called magic. Even if it is only possible to come by as an escort, magic will not take shape without prayer. He who stands as the leader of men and paves the wayâŠ. Are you obvious about that?
â⊠I wonder why someone with magic wouldnât take the initiative. Even though I have the power.â
âA soul that contains the Spirit can also be described as a soul that cannot be formed without prayer. I mean, you donât have enoughâ glow âin your soul as a person. You guys donât have the will of a rare person.â
Tong, and is touched to be pushed in the chest with a finger. Thatâs how Lumiel floats is a smile of mercy.
There I saw other colors of envy that I would miss.
â⊠could your partner have been a rare person?
Iâll leave it to your imagination.
Cover it all up with laughter, and Llumiel wonât talk. Like saying thatâs the answer.
âBeing a rare person doesnât make me happy. Nor does it say that a soul full of spirits is unhappy. Everything is a living result, what do you feel at the end of it? Thatâs everything. Is that why youâre not going to disparage that young lady?
â⊠Yufi is a sweet good boyâ
âSounds like it. Sheâs a real miracle. That kid shouldnât have enough soul power, but he can maintain his physical appearance as a person despite being a spirit of spirituality. You donât have half as much mental power.â
âThatâs not what I was saying.â
âThatâs a general theory. I mean, that kidâs out of standard againâŠ. I envy you.â
â⊠envious?
âIf only that childâs strength were on my father, even a fraction. I wonder what happened to me.â
Llumielâs hand reaches out to my head. The gentle arrangement that combs my hair is like a mother for my child. It makes me touch nature, and I donât think I hate that.
Even though I have no certainty, Iâm convinced this man is my ancestor far away. Itâs not rational. As if this body is what this soul remembers.
âLetâs go back before your body gets cold.â
â⊠okâ
So I could snort nature into the proposal. Llumielâs face, smiling softly, was so human that she didnât think she was a person.
