Chapter 337. Water is life (4) It is only for drawing out the water spirit.


    Therefore, all expedients should be used.


    Use this to reduce her mental energy consumption.


    So you can be very determined and choose.


    “...Well, even if I use all of them in the end, I have to rely on luck in the end.”


    “Ah... that''s why they brought so many of them...


    As if Pena was fed up, she shuddered as she looked at the fake spirit stones piled up in a corner of the room.


    “…Do you really have to pull it out enough to use it all?”


    “If you''re not lucky, maybe you should.”


    It cane out in one room.


    It may note out even if you use it all.


    Only luck knows the oue.


    “Pena.”


    “huh?”


    “Forget about sleeping today.”


    “...I didn''t want to hear that in a ce like this.”


    Disappointed with her shoulders drooping as if she was about to break something, she reached out her hand to me as if she had made up her mind.


    It''s a hand gesture to give me the spirit stone.


    “Give me I will finish it in one shot.”


    “Ooooooooo!”


    I just believe in you, my wife!


    With an unusual resolve, I handed over the counterfeit spirit stone with anticipation in my heart.


    Pena lets out a sigh as if she wants toin, ‘Why do I have to do this?'' and then stands in front of the summoning circle and prepares to summon the spirit.


    I feel sorry too.


    But this is all we do to make a living.


    I said it only in my heart so as not to disturb it.


    I believe you will know.


    Soon, she seemed to have regained herposure, put on a serious face, and began to mutter in a low voice.


    “...The beings that exist beyond the providence of nature.”


    Just as she taught me before, she recites summoning phrases and tunes in with nature''s mana and spirit.


    The summoning circle reacts and emits light, and at the same time, the spirit stone held in Pena''s hand breaks and turns into light, then disappears as if being sucked into the camp.


    The effect is different from mine.


    Truly a real spirit sage.


    For some reason, it feels good to be usible.


    “Call your names ording to the ritual of conversation with you!”


    When she finished the spell, the light grew stronger and a ball of light appeared on the summoning circle.


    Oh really? Is it really over at once?


    I watch the light take form and properties with anticipation.


    “???? Eh?”


    “.. oh?”


    ... Seeing that light turn into a smander, I tilted my head at the same time as Pena.


    Did you think it was a water spirit?


    regret! It was a Smander!


    In front of us staring down at the smander, this red lizard looks up as if asking, ‘Did you call it?''


    no. not you you didn''t call


    The first attempt was a failure.


    “???? Wow?...”


    “It''s okay. The first may fail.”


    Indeed, was the world so meek?


    Nothing can be done in one shot.


    I was convinced, and as soon as Pena returned the Smander, I handed over the next Spirit Stone.


    “are you okay! I have a feeling it will work out this time!”


    Pena used the summoning spell again, appealing for groundless confidence, perhaps ashamed of bringing out the smander from the beginning.


    “Pleasee out!”


    more desperate than before


    Is it because of the mood?


    And the result of the next summon.


    Roaring.


    It was a smander that spit out fire cutely!


    Maybe I really didn''t sleep well today.


    We will all be thinking the same way.


    Even after that.


    “Another Smander?!”


    “All next!”


    Smander Smander Smander Gnome Smander Smander.


    Summon pulled out a ‘gwang'' one after another.


    At least once, I picked a mid-level fire spirit, but this is also bad.


    And once.


    “Arell! Look at this. It''s a high-ranking wind spirit!”


    [I have answered the call. Neighbor of the spirit.]


    A guy who seemed polite came out.


    Is it a wind spirit? trash man.


    Fire spirits can roast sweet potatoes.


    Water spirits can create drinking water.


    Earth spirits can handle materials such as soil for construction.


    But the wind spirit?


    What can you do?


    “I don’t need a wind spirit. return it.”


    Your ability is the most useless.


    It''s like the guys who can''t even do this fan.


    [...Yes?]


    “I''m sorry.”


    Pena sent back the wind spirit that was flustered.


    It may have been a jackpot in a normal sense, but it doesn''t mean anything to me.


    In the end, he couldn''t summon even a drop of rain, let alone the spirit of water.


    No matter how you think about it, Smander''s batting average is abnormal.


    “…Did you, by any chance, sign a lifetime contract with the Smanders without me knowing?”


    Pena, too, couldn''t bear to speak as if the results she had brought up were astonishing.


    What is the probability that one elemental wizard will only summon the same elemental?


    No, before that, the spirit kings should hurry up and reveal the probability of summoning spirits!


    No matter how you think about it, this is maniption!


    No, at least if you draw 11 times in a row, one will be confirmed!


    ‘...Should I just sing this.''


    If it''s me, I should be able to summon any spirit I want.


    It''s not simply that I don''t like spirits that much.


    This is because it is a technology that is widely disclosed and used in the world, so it is easier to talk about it if possible if there is a separate person to provide the ability.


    But I''ve already consumed a lot of Spirit Stones.


    “....Sorry.”


    Looking at Pena, who was strangely depressed, it seemed that he was quite tired.


    Since the mental state is also affected by summoning, isn''t it pointless to make it randomly draw?


    Maybe I was being too reckless because I thought it wouldn''t matter if I chose a low-level spirit.


    “are you okay. Let''s add onest time and try again next time.”


    yes.”


    Pena seemed to be ashamed as if she hadn''t thought it would go this far.


    Um... I didn''t mean to make her feel down, but this is my mistake.


    “Haa... Then I''ll try one more time.”


    She seemed to have given up halfway as well, this time slightly rxing her shoulders and reciting the incantation.


    The summoning circle shines again.


    We watched it in silence.


    Yeah... It must be Smander again.


    Maybe we both thought the same thing.


    But was it because of that?


    Or, thanks to her resignation, did Pena''s psychology reach a state of ignorance even for a moment?


    A clear mantra was felt on the summoning line.


    “oh?!”


    “Really?”


    Pena, as an Elementalist, opened her eyes wide as if she had intuition.


    This time, the feeling was clearly different.


    I wondered if water droplets formed on the gin due to moisture, but eventually itpleted the form and properties.


    It is a spirit that emits blue light in the form of a small girl, reminiscent of a fairy in a fairy tale.


    It is an intermediate level water spirit!


    Undine came out.


    “It’s out!”


    Pena and I both prostrated ourselves toward the water spirit who came out at the same time.


    Seeing us like that, the water spirit looked at us alternately as if it didn''t understand something.


    After all, it seems to be correct to say that you have to throw away the water bath sensor.


    Now, the precious water spirit has also appeared. It was possible toplete a prototype of arge-scale unit water purification system.


    “so? so? What can I do with Undine now?”


    Pena asked curiously while carrying a water spirit the size of a newborn baby in her arms.


    Well, the two of us fussed all night to pick one.


    I can''t help but wonder


    Hmmm... exining the theory behind the water purification system would be boring.


    Let''s put aside everything else and exin why we need spirits.


    “That… why did you say that? What I want to make this time is to make a magic tool that can purify and supply water to cities and viges.”


    huh.


    [Yes.]


    Undine, who was looking at me and Pena, copied Pena''s tone.


    “There are limits and it takes a long time to purify with just magic, medicines, and mechanical devices. And maintenance is cumbersome.”


    Of course, there is a basic model of this in part in Fahlia.


    But that''s because you can always manage.


    If you want to sell it as amodity, you need toe up with a more manageable version.


    There, I set my eyes on the spirits... especially the water spirits.


    “Did you hear that water spirits have the power to detoxify or purify contaminated areas?”


    “...Coming to think of it, I think I read something like that.”


    When ites to high-level spirits, they say that even if a spirit yer is defeated by deadly poison, it can be restored immediately.


    There is a reason why clear water has been held up as a symbol of life since ancient times.


    As I exined that far, Pena let out a little exmation as if she finally understood something.


    “I see! Are you trying to get the water spirit to purify you?”


    “That’s how it is.”


    I can give you 50 points.


    If I hit 50 points, I hit enough.


    “uh? So, are you going to put this Undine into the machine you made, Arell?”


    “…What are you imagining?”


    Perhaps in Pena''s head, the pitiful picture of Undine being overworked to purify water without rest in the water purification machine is drawn.


    For some reason, he is looking at me with a face that seems too low.


    no. misunderstood


    No country is as vicious as that.


    Could it be that I just created such a low-level device that squeezed out spirits?


    If I had made up my mind to do so, I would have reced it, but would you just squeeze it out?


    I denied Pena''s imagination with augh as if it was absurd.


    “It’s not like that. It''s apletely different way. In the first ce, I''m going to mass-produce this device, right? Pena, if you''re going to put in the spirits as you imagined, would that one Undine be enough?”


    I need to catch the spirit king and rece it.


    “Come to think of it…


    ” “And even if the device ispleted by inserting it, the efficiency is poor, so the spirits must continue to summon the spirits, right?”


    Even the most powerful elemental sage will quickly get tired if you use it like that.


    Spirituals are notmon there.


    “I need a water spirit, but I''ll leave the marking to Undine.”


    “marking?”


    “Some kind of territorial marking.”


    I opened the device that was still in the process of assembling a prototype and showed a cross-section of the waterway with several magic circles drawn on it.


    “I’m going to have Undine make a mark unique to the spirit here. Well, as a pet, it''s like marking territory.”


    Of course, I don''t mean that Undine should pee here like a real animal.


    Come to think of it, was the spirit cheap?


    I can''t remember that.


    “If we engrave the traces of Undine here, this will be the ce where the spirits came and went.”


    After speaking, I thought that the metaphor of a sign would be more appropriate than a territory mark.


    Why do celebrities even sign autographs when they stop by, even in restaurants in modern civilization?


    ‘Here, who came! It''s a restaurant!''


    I mean it with the feeling.


    I intend to recreate that feeling of space in this device.


    It is to create a hot ce where spirits pass by. “If youplete it like that, the passage through which the water passes through here


    will


    naturally have Undine''s... spirit''s unique presence


    .


    “Other water spirits gather.”


    It''s the same reason that people flock to it when it''s known as a good restaurant.


    The spirit''s scent... a deep trace...


    Anyway, if such a thing remains, other spirits will naturally be influenced and gather.


    “Of course, materialized spirits do not gather. It''s not materialized... It''s where the spirit''s energy gathers. Why is there a legend that sometimes a strange light flows out of a clearke with few people?”


    It''s like a legend that says that the water in thatke has a special effect and is sacred.


    “Yeah, there is.”


    “That’s because the spirits gathered.”
