Chapter 1159 – Shrine of Wind

The blue-haired girl poured out her expert knowledge of elemental carving to the extent that the other elves were not so good at it and admired it.

Roughly speaking, the elemental power was converted into chunks and carving knives to be sculpted.

The chunks of elemental power that will become pieces become more difficult to cut as they overlap, but if you cut that much, it emits a beautiful light. It clearly shows the memories and the emotions contained in those memories.

“A carving knife that cuts out chunks usually borrows the power of a spirit.”

In order to make a good-quality lump that will become a spirit statue, you must drain the spirit power until the entire body loses energy. By the time the lump is made, it is usually exhausted.

If you ask if it’s okay to make a lump and work on it later, they say that spirit power is a power that can be said to be the same as the energy of nature, so if you don’t give it memories and emotions, it will quickly disappear no matter how firmly they overlap over time.

They say that they borrow the power of the spirits because they draw out the spirit power that is not available in the yard where there is a time limit, but the work speed slows down and the lump disappears or if it is cut incorrectly, there is no rice or porridge.

The problem, as I said before, is that the more you overlap, the stronger your energy.

It is impossible to cut this down with the power of the spirit. That’s why spirit engravers are usually excellent elementalists who contract with higher-level spirits.

If that’s the case, you might wonder if it’s okay to make the elemental power that will be the material thin without overlapping.
Actually. The blue-haired girl also recommended that beginners should start with one layer instead of overlapping the mass of elemental power and learn how to sculpt and fail.

Okay. If you make the chunk thin enough to say that learning from failure is good, the probability of failure goes up.
Even if you sculpt multiple overlapping elemental powers, the failure rate is very high, and the success rate of one layer is extremely low.

The problem is not only this.
Spirit fragments are the materialization of one’s memories and emotions using the power of spirits.

He said that while sculpting, he had to infuse the emotions he felt at that time, but it was not easy to empathize while doing the delicate work of carving out the sculpture in detail.

It is important to have good sculpting skills, because memories do not dwell in poorly balanced pieces that are made in a mess.

“Originally, the spirit sculpture started from communicating with the spirit.”

A product that was accidentally born in the process of trying to share memories with each other in order to communicate with the spirits and to preserve the memories more vividly.
Even a skilled spirit engraver has an extremely high failure rate. Also, there are many spirit engravers who can only make a piece that can be called a masterpiece once in a lifetime.

Spirit engravers who are invited to the human world to create works often make simple sculptures that are not masterpieces but contain light memories and emotions that are pleasing to those who come to play. Nevertheless, the explanation that the demand is overwhelming is also attached.

When I said demand, the girl with blue hair blushed, probably thinking that money was raised.
She was just kind and detailed. What a cute kid.

Note that. Above the sky The mermaid statue standing on the island of water was also said to be a spirit sculpture.
Come to think of it, Prunar Academy. To be precise, I think I saw similar statues here and there on the Floating Island.

Hmmm. As expected, Prunar Academy. Did you ask for that piece that looked expensive at first glance?

It is difficult to complete a spirit piece, but once it is made, it is said that it has a high preservation power that will last for a thousand years if it is well made, and if it is a masterpiece, it will last forever as long as the spirit exists.
Also. Basically, as it is made with spirit power close to the gas, it is not limited by space, so it can be made anywhere.

“Wow. Yriel. How do you know so well?”
“B. I had no idea that the origin of spirit fragments was communion with spirits…”
“This, if you look at this much in the book…!!”

The blue-haired girl’s name must have been Iriel.
Iriel, who cleared his throat, said that as I just said, the method of making a spirit piece itself could be found quickly if anyone paid attention, but it was too difficult to do in practice.

It is said that one hundred sentences are not enough. He decided to do it right away.
I raised the divine power from my body and converted it into a mass of elemental power, and added dozens of layers, recalling my most intense memories.

Chow-!

“Wow!”
“Wow!”

The exclamations of elven children.
In front of my eyes, a colorful mass of energy shone brilliantly.
Perhaps because his level had risen considerably, he was able to realize a considerable amount of spirit power by changing his divine power.
A gigantic elemental power three times the size of a human being was placed on the surface of the water in the middle of this water’s edge.

“Wow…! It’s very hard…!”

Iriel exclaimed, covering his mouth with both hands. She soon noticed her face colored with concern.

“It’s great, but it’s so hard that it’s hard to cut…?”
“Okay.”

I made a carving knife this time.

“You should use only the spirit power of the carving knife as much as possible. If impurities from other energy are mixed, the carving material may crack. “
“Is that so.”

Other than spiritual power. Ryunar. Mana. Energy. In addition to skills, numerous powers are out of the question.
In the first place. I had no intention of sculpting with a cutting sword.
This is my most intense memory. I couldn’t come up with the option of retrieving those memories with swordsmanship.

“You can use the shape of the sculpture freely!”

It is said that as long as the shape is clear in any form, it will allow others to see the emotions and memories that have been instilled.
Then. Will I get permission?

Malachia. Discredit.
Can I carve your figure?

[Eh? Are we talking?]
[…

Malamala said in a shy voice that she was surprised.

[No, what… I don’t have to do that~]
Okay. Permission to say no.

Discredit. You?

[Do whatever you want.]
Oh. I thought you would decline.
Because you erase memories here and there. I thought I would try not to leave anything behind.

[Joy.]

Shameless bit the smoking pipe and didn’t answer anymore.
I take a deep breath He gripped the sword firmly and raised his divine power.

The image is a carving knife close to a dagger.
Gurrrr The wind condensed and took the form of a short sword.

Indeed. I understand why it is difficult to sculpt spirits without spirits.
While maintaining strong emotions, it is not enough to keep the spirit power for the sharpness of the carving knife, and it does delicate carving. Is it necessary to use three high-difficulty skills at the same time and at a high level?

To eat cold porridge
Of course, if the level is a gangster, the spirit power is maintained. Because the intense memory of that time completely dominates me now. At least today there is nothing to forget.
The problem is only the sculpting skills.

“Oh my God…! It usually takes a year to maintain the shape of a carving knife with spirit power…!”

Iriel’s admiration fades from his ears.
Concentration.
In my sight. Now I can only see the spirit power and myself.
Substituting the appearances of friends he had seen every day, he wielded a carving knife.

Kang!!

Bounced off
Indeed. Solid.
But I figured out how to cut it down.
He also figured out how to strengthen the carving knife to fit better.
Infused with more intense memories and spirit power.
Jung was now taking the form of flames wrapped around the wind…

I lost my memory after that.
I only played with my hands.

How much time has passed
At some point, I felt ‘Complete’.

And. I was in a pure white space.
Is it.
Is this the scene of memory that can be seen when sculpting spirits?

The first thing that came into my sight was the image of Mei-Chi, who had satisfied her urge to kill for the first time in a long time, stopped in relief that Lena, whom she thought was dead, was still alive, and then gave me a lap pillow and comforted me.

Okay.
I must have fallen in love with her since then.

My heart was tickling, and it was beating thump thump.
Soon Meiqi and I were swirling and mingling and disappearing.

And the next sight… A familiar seal.
It’s been almost a year since I came to Elyunar, but I’ve been here for over ten years. I was still familiar with this painting.

And a man who hadn’t been at the dojo for years was lying there.

Dad.
He always used to lie down in the middle of the dojang to sleep, probably tired after finishing the dojang cleaning.
I was hungry, whining for food and kicking my dad…
…No.
You don’t have to be honest here.
Because this is my memory

I was crying because my dad wouldn’t play with me, so I knocked on him for no reason, but when I woke up after falling asleep, I thought dad would be up too, so I lay down and fell asleep.

I lay down next to my dad, and he, who I thought was asleep with a pod on the back of his head, stretched out his arm and placed it under my head as if to use it as his pillow.

While grunting, I cut my head and closed my eyes… Let me go to sleep. Dad gently hugged me.

Okay. At that time I felt a sense of stability.
I had a strong feeling of being protected by someone.

Ah.
No more now You won’t even get that sense of security.

In an instant, my eyes went white.
My body stopped with longing and sadness.

Even the pure white space disappears.
The image of me and my father lying down together as children.

Saaaaa…

Suddenly, the surroundings were dark. Not only the girls and children from before, but also the elves stood there.

Even the Morning Wind Knights and the Senate were visible.
And in front of my eyes stood a jet-black dragon with its huge wings spread out while roaring, and a shadowy man in white clothes holding a smoking pipe and arrogantly looking down at people.

Tiring!!

[You have completed the Hidden Achievement ‘Spirit Sculpture Masterpiece’]
[The god of recovery is moved by you and adds a reward.]
[A special amount of experience is paid…]
[The level is…]

Alarm turned off
Now. I didn’t want to disturb this afterglow.
An intangible guy stared at me from the side, so he turned his head and trudged away into the darkness.

M: Why don’t you just watch me cry? Pervert bastard.

***

“…”

Iriel felt the emotion of ‘nonsense’.
The fact that the person who started sculpting spirits for the first time today succeeded in making them, and the perfection of the work.

A majestic black dragon that roars with its mouth wide open, and a dignified black dragon that must be an ancient dragon, and a human figure whose identity is unknown, but which can be known as an infinitely ‘great existence’.

The two beings felt a sense of grandeur that touched their hearts, and at the same time, intimacy and affection.

Maybe. It must be Dre’s feelings for the two of them.
And the enormous emotion contained in that statue.

The elves touched the statue as if possessed.
The characteristic of the spirit sculpture is that by touching the sculpture, you can be affected by the emotions contained in the sculpture, and you can also see simple memories.

In an instant, I saw a very pretty girl with a voluptuous figure with pigtails, her hair dyed gold.
Her heart seemed to squeeze in her love for her and the sharing of her guilt.

Like her other elves, she touched the statue and shared her emotions. When she saw Mei-Chi, she somehow felt ‘crying’.

And then remember. A man lying on the dojang.
His face is hard to see.
Maybe. That’s what Dre didn’t want to show.

But… I could feel the desperate feelings for the man who held and hugged the child who seemed to be the heir of the old days.

A longing that pierces the body.
And. Utter anxiety.
Mixed emotions.
The elves, including Iriel, were aware of the hot tears running down their cheeks.

He put his hand on the intangible spirit fragment and tsk. Clicked her tongue

“…Anyway, the son of Padercon.”

His voice sounded ghastly, but there was a proudness that could not be hidden at the corners of his mouth.
He is the elders who came here. He looked at Yuffie and others who would hate Dre.

How is it
This is the Heir’s ability that you hate and rebel against.

But. No one looked at the intangible.
Even the picky elders were all crying and feeling desperate emotions.

Among them, the famous elder who was a master of carving spirits knelt down on his knees and sobbed.

“Ah… This… Is an immortal masterpiece…”

He came to his senses and immediately called people.
This piece is not to be left unattended.
This place for a while. Even if you can’t use the waterfall spirit, it’s a masterpiece that needs to be completely refurbished and kept strictly.
Even if you exclude the value of tourism, etc., It is a thing that should be done.
The elf’s strange sensitivity aroused a sense of mission.

In the meantime, among the elf girls who were with Dredle today. The golden-haired girl also approached the statue as if possessed.

“…”

She gently touched the statue.
After a while, tears flowed down her cheeks without exception.
No. It was close to sobbing, to the point of doubling that of the other elves.
Her expression was expressionless, but she was more moved than anyone else.

The golden-haired girl wiped her tears with the back of her hand and walked away hurriedly into the darkness.
You can’t lose your dignity. She was so embarrassed that she didn’t even realize she was in ‘disguise’, and then she went into the dark woods to see what she was like now. She did and she realized.

Soon, her body was enveloped in elemental power, and she returned to her original form, the high elf’s appearance, also known as the Elf Queen, exuding benevolent and strange dignity.

Aldia covered her mouth with her hands and blushed her cheeks.

“…Wonderful…”

That day.
Until dawn, the Elves in search of masterpieces made in the Falls of the Spirit did not cease.

The next morning. Said Dre.

“I’ll take care of the spirit of Pryunar right now.”
