104 – not to be – 1

.

.

After leaving the warrior party, he did not immediately start an adventurer’s life.

There are many quests in the quest for eight stars during the main story, but there are also many quests that open during adventure mode.

It’s good to clear those quests for comfortable achievements, so I’m one of the quests that gives achievements and decent rewards.

Headed to Balfjir Mountain to do the ‘Mountain of No Return’ quest.

Although the demon king was destroyed, there were still many demons, and there were many refugees on the continent.

Of course, there were many wounded among the refugees.

It is not possible to escape from monsters without getting injured.

One of the guilds that supplied medicines at low prices for such people was the Pavilion guild.

The reason why the Pavilion Merchant Chamber could supply medicine at a low price was simple.

Because herbs are grown in the mountains owned by the guild, and the alchemists at the guild directly handle them to make medicine.

But a problem arose.

One of the mountains currently owned at the top of Pavilion.

It was said that the herbalists who had gone up to the mountain ‘Balfjir’ to gather herbs were not coming back.

At first, I thought it was a tripping accident or an attack by a monster, so I sent escort warriors from the upper level.

But something amazing happened.

They, too, could not return.

“Sage. Do you know something?”

The client in front of me, Astro Pavilon, the head of the Pavilion Merchant Merchants, spoke cautiously and broke my thoughts.

oh Do you know how?

Of course you know.

“It’s the spirit’s work.”

“…Yes?”

The bewildered Astro Pavilon shook his thick chin and tilted his head.

“No, why? Every year, we hold a ritual for the spirits to grow and collect herbs?”

“I guess he didn’t like that sacrifice.”

“It can’t be. How miraculous and wonderful is the shaman of our guild. Thanks to the shaman, the herb farming in the mountains is plentiful every year…”

“Then call me.”

Astro looked at me suspiciously, then ordered the secretary next to him.

and after a while

As soon as I entered, the old woman, whose face was filled with greed, frowned at me and spat disgust.

“A sage who knows everything in the world? I don’t know how much you young bastard knows. I’ve taken care of, respected, and served the spirit for decades. To such a spirit…”

“The old man is noisy.”

I think I’m going to attack the old man.

“Goyan bastard!! You’re so arrogant that you helped to catch the demon king! No matter how good you are, do you think you can handle me?!”

One of the villains of this quest, the old woman, screamed at me, and I laughed at her.

“What are you saying? I’m getting tired and I’m having trouble communicating with the spirits, so I’m going to retire.”

“…Yes? What is that?”

The shrine maiden’s complexion changed. Faced with those eyes full of greed and desire trembling with doubt and fear, I handed out an empty glass to the secretary.

“One more drink.”

“Ah. Yes.”

The handsome secretary hurriedly whipped out a sweet apple tea.

Well. It smells good.

“Mistress! Uh, did you intend to retire? Why did you tell me until now…”

“…You bastard. How far do you know?”

“Don’t you know me? I am a wise man. I know everything in the world.”

The reason why the spirit of Mount Baltzir is doing that is very simple.

It was because the old woman, a shaman, was getting older and her stamina was gradually decreasing, and she was planning to retire.

Of course, it wouldn’t matter if it was just hitting, but that old man was trying to pass down the work of worshiping spirits to his daughter and disciple.

Spirits are like children, and if there’s something they don’t like, they’ll make a fuss over the stars.

Also, he is extremely picky when it comes to choosing who to serve him.

Networking? It’s useless.

Introduce? don’t listen

All you need is one thing.

It’s up to you whether you like the spirit or not.

The problem was here.

The spirit said that she did not like the shaman’s disciple, but that shaman forced her disciple and the spirit to marry in order to live comfortably after retirement and her own power and desire.

“Even in an arranged marriage, if you don’t get along well, you fight and beat each other to death.

“Muh, what! Don’t lie! You bastard!!”

The old woman hurriedly ran to cover my mouth, and I waved my hand at her and pushed her away.

“Where are you touching!”

“Inoum!!”

“Aren’t you tired of that? I’ll finish the rest of that pitiful life when I’m done. Well, I don’t know if I’ll be able to stay at the top even if I don’t finish.”

Astro was giving me a more suspicious look.

No wonder. You want to believe in the person who has been on your side all this time.

Anyway, I’m not done talking, so let’s continue.

“Originally, the spirit should be shown various candidates and let them choose, but in that case, you could become someone who has nothing to do with that priestess, and then the life she has been leading up until now will disappear. Isn’t it natural? It’s no longer useful, so will you support that shrine maiden?”

“…that, that’s it.”

Of course, he lost his strength, but he was a shaman who served the spirits.

In terms of rating, it’s an advanced level, so it’s pretty good in its own way.

However, if you ask if that old man is worthy of the treatment he is receiving from the Pavilon Merchant, he will say no. could say

“Communicating with the spirits, or becoming companions or priests, is not something that only a shaman can do. To put it bluntly, even a child can become a child with a little magic.”

And we decided to call the spirits that keep the real little boy by his side as his companion or his attendant, called Fedo, but this is not the important thing now.

“Now, old man. Why don’t you blow the truth?”

“Miko! Is the wise man’s words true?”

The priestess kept her mouth shut and just glared at me to death. What do you see?

After I had finished drinking, I put down the glass and handed it to the secretary.

“One more drink.”

“…Yes.”

The secretary politely poured me an apple tea, and I sipped it.

“By the way, she is the daughter of that old woman, and her pupil is the secretary over there.”

flinch.

Even the handsome-looking secretary was hardened, and the upper class of Astro fell into complete confusion.

It seemed that he was quite shocked by the continued betrayal.

“The secretary’s name is Asis Catron. Right? If you investigate, everything will come out, so don’t cheat. I’m friendly with thieves too. If they’re determined and digging for information, everything will come out.”

“……”

“I can’t answer. In fact, I don’t care if you admit it or not.”

I smiled at the shrine maiden and her pupil who were glaring at me.

“Today. We’re going to annihilate the spirits that are holding hands with you.”

The expression of the shrine maiden and the secretary distorted in an instant.

The chemistry between the master and the master is really good. You make the same face

“Ah. Sangsanju. Did you know that there are quite a few herbs that can only be harvested through firefighting?”

“…yes? I know, but…”

“Let’s change the herbs we handle starting today. I know how to see leylines, but the Baltjir mountain spot is a place where herbs that can be obtained from slashing guns grow well.”

I came out with my hands in my pockets.

Currently, this is the guild office at the foot of Baltjir Mountain.

That’s why I was able to see the mountain up close, and I was able to easily identify anomalies.

Anyone can see it.

It was because Baltzir Mountain was openly overflowing with gloomy energy.

At that level, if you grow herbs related to curses in that land, they will grow really well.

“Then that’s…”

“It’s because the spirit is pissed off.”

As for Astro’s question that followed, I answered meekly.

“Stop it!! Stop it!! You madman!! Destroy the spirits?! You were thinking of burning down the entire mountain!!”

“uh.”

“What, what?! The Spirit will be angry!!”

“What if the guy who’s going to be fired anyway gets angry? He’ll become nothing.”

Trembling, the old woman shook her shoulders. There was nothing but fear in her eyes now.

Are you curious about how far I know and how far I can go?

Astro’s upper management, who looked at me alternately with the shaman’s fearful appearance, carefully asked for an explanation.

Still, as the client, I have to do this.

“A spirit is like a kind of contract worker who keeps a certain position. If an accident happens, you have to take responsibility and get out of the way. Well, a horse gets out of the way, to be precise, it loses all its power and is absorbed into nature again.”

“But. Burning the whole mountain…”

“You don’t know since you run the guild too. If you don’t do something to a powerful customer who starts flirting, the damage will be greater.”

It is basic to show dissatisfaction with the things on the top, and furthermore, it can threaten the top itself.

If you’re a noble, you’ll tell the nobles you know that it’s the top of the line, and if you’re a mercenary or adventurer, you’ll talk about it to your colleagues.

It can be seen that the spirit’s twist is about ten times worse than that.

“I wish I had said it. I hate that girl! I like love marriages! Something like this.”

However, there was nothing like that to the spirit, and he exposed his anger on his own.

Of course, the feelings are understandable, but that is not a reason for forgiveness.

“If you leave the spirit of that mountain as it is, there will be problems not only in that mountain, but also in this area, and even in the mountains and rivers that you own.

“…”

“So, we have to cut off the current spirit in charge and let a new spirit take its place. There are many things that the spirit wants to do.”

Of course, I have no part-time job how to live by negotiating with the spirits after that.

Of course, if you ask the adventurer’s guild and come in as a designated quest, I can do it.

Right now, quests and achievements come first, so let’s solve them first.

Astro’s upper management was worried.

Between me and the shaman who used to be evil next to me, I was contemplating who to trust.

And after moaning for a while, he finally nodded.

“Please. Sage. By the way… wouldn’t the damage go to the other side?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve brought some people who can handle this problem well. Hey! Call the people drinking alcohol down there!”

An employee rushed downstairs, and after a while, people in unusual outfits like this came up.

A yellow-haired witch wearing a blood-red robe, holding a staff wrapped in flames, and wearing a red cone-shaped hat.

He had shamanic circles engraved all over his body and had seven hideous horns.

A lizardman with a sharp spear.

As soon as she saw them, the shrine maiden was terrified and began to curse me with nausea.

“Mi, crazy! Crazy! Gwack! Weck! Crazy… bastard!! Others, those who follow the foreign media… Uweeek!”

“…I hope they are.”

“Oh? You know?”

I still have eyes for people.

It would have been better if such a shrine maiden had been cut a little faster with those eyes.

“Let me introduce you. Hulot, the crazy witch of the South.”

“Ehehehe! Can I burn it?! Huh?! Sage! Can I burn it?!”

“Uh huh. Wait.”

With a smirk, a maniacal smile, he wiggled his staff of fire.

Burned thousands of monsters that once invaded the South in one blow.

Wheelot, a fire witch worshiping the fire god of destruction.

and.

“The ruler of space and the apostle of Cosmo, the foreign god of the universe. Gwalteirak.”

Gwalteirak, the only apostle of the foreign god Cosmo who gave me the power of teleportation.

“…..”

He’s like an unsociable guy.

Gwalteirak glanced at me and didn’t respond, only pointing at the mountain with his spear.

“Okay. Then let’s begin.”

I pointed my cane at the mountain and destroyed the magical power-enhancing jewel I got from the previous quest.

As soon as the enormous magic power was put into the staff, I immediately activated the barrier.

“Ah. aaa!!”

As soon as the powerful barrier covering the entire mountain was completed, the shrine maiden began to despair.

“Ah … ah ah … the spirit is … the spirit is …

That old woman’s murmur was nothing like witchcraft.

It’s just begging for false hope.

Even that old woman knows.

As for what will happen now.

-Oh oh oh…

In the foggy mountains, screams that do not know whether it is a man, a woman, an old man, or a child burst out as an echo.

I was nervous when I saw the barrier I had created.

eyes are fast How nice it would have been if I wrote it before that quick notice.

“Hee hee hee!! Can I do it?! Can I do it?!”

“Burn it.”

“Hee hee hee hee!!”

The moment the witch burst into light and lifted her wand.

A second sun was created in the sky.

The sky, unable to recognize the two suns, dropped the newly created sun.

The place where the sun is heading is Mount Balfzir.

The greedy sun was crashing down with a roar, as if it were about to consume the mountain completely with fire.

– Ino Oh Oh!! do not do that!! don’t do it!! no!! hate!! I hate to be nothing!! I hate being part of nature again!!

Becoming a spirit is not an easy task.

Perhaps it is only possible after a thousand years, no, thousands of years of hard work.

That is.

All that hard work and hard work becomes nothing in an instant.

Of course, the spirits had no choice but to scream and plead.

As if to prove it, a plea from an unknown person can be heard from the mountain.

– I was wrong! don’t apologize! So please…!!

Horrible, terrified screams were so painful that they couldn’t be heard without real tears.

“late.”

Gwalteirak threw the spear he was holding with all his might. It flew through the sky, passed through the barrier, and stuck a spear into the mountain.

-Kuuu!!

Using the window as a key, a space opens up in the sky.

What protruded from that space were dozens of stones.

The star of destruction sent by Cosmo was falling toward the designated location.

Fire and destruction shall cover that mountain.

Now, that place will no longer be a mountain, and the spirit in charge of that place will take responsibility and disappear and become a part of nature.

-Quaaagh!!

Fire and destruction sweep the mountain at once.

After that, I laughed as the storm returned by the barrier I made and continued to destroy the mountain again.

“Ah … Ah … Wow …. OWE! Big!”

In the aftermath of the disappearance of the spirit, the shaman was trembling and vomiting blood, and her secretary and disciple passed out altogether.

Of course, that wasn’t what I was doing.

An important thing is.

[Return to Nature Achievement Accomplished.]

[You have obtained the Spirit Seed.]

The quest is complete and a mountain has disappeared.

It’s just that you’ve accomplished one thing.

.

.

.

“S, Master?”

“Ah. I thought about something else for a while.”

Seeing spirits after a long time naturally reminds me of the past.

I swung the moonlight again at the blonde-tanned Ksare spirit who was glaring at me as if to kill me.

The spirit whose body exploded created a new body and moved the tentacles of the waterway to attack me.

-Puuuong!!

“no?!”

Tentacles explode with one shot from Lukendi’s arrow.

I mean, his bow is very good.

While the spirit’s expression was distorted, I spoke to Valtin.

“Tear it up.”

“By the way, it’s water, but does it tear?”

“Moses, the king of Egypt, also parted the Red Sea with a dang-soo, so can you not say that?”

“No, though.”

“If so.”

I even gave Baltin all the buffs and enchantments I could put on.

The energy of ice dwells in his hand.

Each time, Baltin laughed hideously and clenched his fists.

“Hehe. I didn’t know the day would come when I would live and tear apart the spirits.”

“So. Is it scary?”

“Excited…!! Just give me instructions! Sage!!”

The mane rises and the lion beast mane’s fighting spirit spreads to the surroundings.

I smiled and pointed my cane at him, who was shaking even his body.

“Now. You’ve become stronger. Charge.”

“Kyatho!!”

I’m proud of you for giving me a buff like that.
