Chapter 171: Spirits (4)

‘It isn’t working . ’

I descended the Tree of Origin to an uproar .

Woorururu!

Approximately 100,000 spirits flocked at once .

The small fireballs the size of a baby’s fist moved in unison .

However, it was a bitter sight for me .

'The contract hasn’t been formed yet . . . ’

Was it because it was shortly after they were born? Or the way they were born had an influence . It could be both .

'It can't be helped . ’

This was an investment for the future . It would ease a little bit once a contract was signed and they developed ego . Right now, the spirits were too unstable without the contract .

I stood still and stared at the Tree of Origin . Then the spirits started playing with the Tree of Origin .

-Name .

-Give me a name .

Four days afterwards . Once the spirits had been born for exactly one week, two thin voices were heard in my head .

'It will appear in the future . ’

Two of the fireballs had formed children’s faces .

They were twice as big as the other spirits . There was certainly no comparison .

-Give me a name .

-I would love to have a name .

The two fireballs spun in the air . Their attitudes seemed desperate .

‘Does it originally take so long to give them names?’

I tilted my head to the side .

This was the process of naming for a spirit . It took a very long time after the spirits were born to be given a name .

‘Weird . ’

At any rate, I needed to name them .

“Rei, Sera . ”

The spirits starting to run around while saying their names .

-I like it . Rei!

-My name is Sera .

Hwaaak!

Shortly afterwards, the two fireballs blazed with an intense light .

-Names have been given to the spirits .

The lowest class ‘Rei’ and ‘Sera’ have risen one level .

They are the first spirits to be given names . They will have a larger growth than the other spirits .

-If a contract is signed, ‘Rei’ and ‘Sera’ will follow you more sincerely .

1,000pt will be paid .

After the short message, I noticed change in the two spirits .

After a while . . . the two spirits greeted me with changed appearances .

They looked like little children . Their size was still smaller than Yihi but they definitely had ‘egos . ’

“Rei, Sera . Let’s make a contract . ”

The only thing left was to make a contract . They immediately responded without hesitation .

-Okay .

-Sera will do it .

"I will set the terms of the contract . ”

The spirits instinctively knew about contracts . It was like learning how to walk and run . Forming a contract was natural for them .

I couldn’t help feeling tense .

However . . . their response was unexpected .

-If it is Father’s will .

-I’m at your disposal .

I started frowning .

I heard an unimaginable word .

Father . . .

The spirits didn’t have any parents . The higher ranked spirits just gave them names . The word ‘Father’ didn’t fit with the nature of the spirits .

If there was one reason, it might be Ifrit . He was the fire in charge of ‘dominance . ’ I devoured his magic power and gained his skill .

I tried to restore a calm expression . It wasn’t bad, but I hadn’t expected it . If the spirits followed me sincerely then my power would greatly increase . The contents of the contract could also be tailored to my taste, so it was like killing two birds with one stone .

"You should gain more experience with contracts . But . . . until you grow to a certain extent, you will need someone to light the way . ”

-Father’s words are correct .

-I am still lacking . Please tell me .

Rei and Sera . The two spirits laughed and emitted warm fire .

"I will light the way . However, there is a limit to the basic contract . I will modify the contents of the contract . ”

I checked again just in case . Matters related to the contract needed to be confirmed several times . Especially if it was a one-sided modification .

It was normal to placate them . . .

-Father’s words are right!

-Sera thinks so as well .

It seemed like not much work was needed .

‘Hrmm . ’

It wasn’t just a title, but an infinite faith in me . It was a blind faith I found difficult to understand . They believed in me from the moment they were born . Was the impact of ‘domination’ that big?

I took a deep breath and said .

“ . . . This will be the contents of the contract . ”

I spent a while modifying the contents of the contract .

A double contract . I set conditions that would establish myself as the ‘lord’ and others as the ‘wealth . ’

No, I was greedy and went a little further .

My commands were absolute and I could terminate the contracts with other people .

-Father . Will you do it now?

-Then form a contract with Sera?

The spirits were fundamentally tied by the contract . I would now set off their fundamental instincts . Even so, there was no hesitation . It was a good idea to form a contract .

So far, the spirits looked completely different from the ones that I knew .

I nodded, causing Rei and Sera to immediately pull out the seal for the contract .

Small letters made of fire formed on the bodies of the spirits . The basic contract and the modifications I made were there .

-Randalph Brigsiel! My father . Will you sign a contract with Rei?

-Daddy . What about Sera?

“ . . . Okay . ”

It was an unfamiliar atmosphere .

It was similar to the time I made the contract with Yihi, but completely different as well .

I occasionally felt it with Chrisley but . . . I was currently being bombarded with these feelings from the spirits .

After I finished speaking, the letters on their bodies burned up . Then the Tree of Origin wrapped its branches around the two spirits .

-The low class spirits ‘Rei’ and ‘Sera’ have formed a contract with Randalph Brigsiel .

The Tree of Origin has blessed the two spirits . An Essence of Origin has been consumed in the aftermath .

-The low class spirits ‘Rei’ and ‘Sera’ have successfully evolved into intermediate spirits!-Due to the blessing from the Essence of Origin, they have a chance to obtain a higher ‘rank . ’-The spirits can communicate with the contractor for growth . Conversely, if the communication is weak then there isn’t a high chance of growth .

10,000pt will be paid .

After they emerged from the branches, Rei and Sera were approximately 1 . 5 times larger . Compared to their development, the other fireballs still had a long way to go .

-Father . Please contract with the other children .

-Sera is also okay with this .

When I turned my head, almost 100,000 spirits were gathered around the Tree of Origin . They instinctively approached after feeling Rei and Sera make the contract .

‘It is my job to name them . ’

It was a strange problem .

Maybe that’s why Yihi named them ‘Fire-One, Fire-Two and Fire-Three . ’

I worried over it . Anyway, the system messages stated that ‘communication’ played a role in the growth of the spirits . I guessed that they might disappear without this connection .

Of course, I couldn’t memorize all of it but I needed to give them names .

‘Crazy . ’

It didn’t take long to realize that this was the wrong choice .

By the time I finished all the contracts, three days had passed . Only 500 spirits reached low class and none were intermediate class like Rei and Sera .

I couldn’t ignore the blessing from the Tree of Origin . They reached intermediate rank due to the Essence of Origin . However, that wasn’t all .

They also got a chance to increase their ‘rank . ’ In other words, they could qualify to become a spirit king eventually .

I would invest one or two more essences if I could .

‘I also have the seeds that Kerpi handed me . ’

The water spirit Kerpi .

I had forgotten about the stones that she gave me .

It had been buried in my memories due to the fire spirits .

‘The prized seeds of the Water Spirit King . . . ’

I pulled out the stones . There were exactly five of them .

Kerpi had mentioned the Water Spirit King when she handed it over to me . I hadn’t heard the story of the Water Spirit King, but there had to be a reason for giving me the seeds .

I could feel a stronger vitality compared to the fire spirits .

‘Was it due to my bag? There is no change . ’

Due to being in my bag, they weren’t affected by the fire magic power at all . I placed the five stones on the ground .

-Father . What is this?

-Did I look like that Father?

Ray and Sera led the rest of the spirits around me .

Their natures were opposite of each other .

Rei spoke carefully while Sera reminded me of an immature child .

Due to the clear difference in personality among them, the 100,000 spirits also divided into two groups . The phenomenon was surprising, but the competition also helped their growth .

There would be some side effects from the antagonistic nature . However, I was certain that benefits would also be demonstrated . But perhaps due to the nature of fire, more spirits were gathered towards Sera than Rei . The ratio was approximately 6:4 .

"Water spirits dwell in these seeds . ”

I glanced at both of them to check their reaction .

Rei and Sera were unusual compared to other normal spirits . Water was opposite to fire so it was normal to hate them . . .

The two of them approached the stones without hesitation .

Their faces were filled with curiosity . No apparent dislike could be seen .

-These children will be the youngest .

-A younger sibling? Sera doesn’t hate that .

-Father . I want to see them soon . Can I help?

-Come quickly . Play with me .

Their interest was great . The spirits were watching the stones more closely than I was .

‘I don’t have to do it alone . ’

The fire spirits were derived from my magic power . Their magic power wasn’t significantly different from mine so there would be a good effect if they helped .

"Sincere devotion . . . look after them well . ”

The words were filled with sincerity . They felt weird in my mouth . I felt awkward since it was my first time saying such things .

However, my message was communicated to Rei and Sera, who nodded .

-Leave it to me .

-Sera will do it .

In this case, my thoughts were right . They started to look after the water spirit seeds with gleaming eyes .

Three days later .

The stones cracked open like eggs and water spirits were born .

-Water spirits have been born under the care of numerous spirits .

Originally they would be destroyed due to the loss of harmony, but the magic power of ‘Randalph Brigsiel’ has finely balanced it .

The limits have increased significantly . They are fundamentally water spirits, but they contain a weak fire power .

The title ‘Balanced Water Spirits (Epic)’ has been acquired .
