Chapter 1366 – [Abeth’s Dream]

Johnny entered the finish line and turned into a spirit. That’s why he was able to grasp the situation by looking around at his changed appearance.

The people cheering over there are cheering because he became a spirit, not because he won. This is how the spirit of Pungnyeongje, which had not been born for a long time, was born.

Knowing the situation and hearing the cheers of the people, Johnny was thrilled.

“I……I……”

“Johnnyyyyy!!!!”

And Eden jumped up and ran at Johnny. He was riding on the back of Yesto, but he jumped and rushed at it without hesitation.

He was tall, so if he did something wrong, it would be quite shocking, but Johnny reflexively wrapped Eden in the wind to reduce the shock and held him in his arms. As much as she became a spirit, she seems to have instinctively acquired her abilities as a spirit.

“Ah, thank you. Really…”

“That’s okay. Anyway, I’m glad I became a spirit!!!! Congratulations on winning!”

“Yes Yes!!!!!”

“And I also made a lot of money because you won!!!!!!”

“Actually, that’s not the purpose?!”

“That’s not the original purpose. Even if you have a lot of money, you won’t stay here. How much do you want to spend? I wonder if half of it will be used for your tuition.”

“……Tuition fees?”

“You’re not going to lose sight of Charles’ school and leave just because you’re a spirit?”

“It’s not that, but…”

“Then, half of it is used for tuition!!!! If you have any left over, you can use it for someone else’s tuition!!!! Okay?”

“Thank you”

If you don’t have money, you can live without it, but if you have it, on the contrary, it is very useful. It costs money to buy, spend, and do things.

I don’t know how much money Eden and Keter made from betting on this race, but even if it’s bigger than I thought, it won’t be as much as I thought. After all, it was with the kids’ pocket money.

However, if the multiplier is around 10,000 times, it will be a considerable amount even for children’s pocket money. It’s quite a large amount, so you can use it as you want.

“But what are you going to do with half?”

“My Meals”

“I knew you would”

Wait, Eden?!

Are you thinking of spending that much money on food?! It’s really not a joke!!!!!!

Johnny became a spirit. Considering the last Pungnyeong Festival, where spirits hadn’t been born for about 100 years, it was something Abes would be happy about.

What the dead For example, Tiego or something like that, but that was no big deal. From what I’ve heard, people often die during the Pungnyeong Ritual. The birth of the spirit was too happy to make that a problem.

Oh, of course, it’s not a big deal even if it’s a problem. I don’t know if I’m alive, but I don’t have to notice the laggards, so it’s rather full of gossip that I couldn’t do in my life. If you look at what Thiago did, his usual behavior is his conduct.

Why are you saying that? When the dog of Jeong Seung’s house dies, the door is full of mourners, but when Jeong Seung dies, not a single ant comes near. Ultimately, that also meant that there had to be a party with authority.

Anyway, now that Johnny has become a spirit, he has to effectively return to the spirit’s sanctuary. Because of that problem, Fulstead also showed up from the sanctuary and appeared here.

The people of the Abeth Kingdom were astonished at the appearance of Fulstead in the form of a green horse. Even King Abes was surprised to see him for the first time in real life.

[Hey, somehow this year I felt good, did you finally come out?]

“Pu, Fulstead-sama……”

[Call lightly. Lightly. I don’t like it because it kind of chills my spine when I’m with you. So, how do you feel about becoming a spirit?]

“It’s something light and refreshing. I feel a lot more than that, but it’s hard to explain in words…”

[Not even that. Anyway, let’s go, now that we’ve become a spirit, we have to go back to the sanctuary]

It is Eden that dried it. On the one hand, I want to talk about this and that with Johnny, and I also want to enjoy various benefits as the winner of this Pungnyeong Festival.

“Hey, can’t we leave Johnny for a while? I think that’s better.”

[Why? If you think about it, you’ll understand, but the reason I kept the winners of the windmill festival hidden from you is so that you wouldn’t know the true meaning of the windmill festival. As you know, that’s also a problem. Shouldn’t you hide the person who could tell you the answer?]

“Ah, if you think about the CSAT, you know what that means.”

It’s like why the test writers can’t come out to the world until the day of the exam even if they make a problem. It becomes a problem if former champions come out and take the side of their own blood.

Realize the law of the wind and become a spirit. Although that is the original purpose of the Pungnyeongje, it is meaningless unless the person himself realizes it. So you deliberately hide it.

“But isn’t it the winner and the spirit that came out after 100 years? Wouldn’t it be better to promise to keep the secret of the victory a secret and go around promoting it so that another spirit is born later during the Pungnyeong Festival?”

[Hmm, that’s……]

“Your purpose is to create a spirit with a human heart. So, I think it would be better not to prevent you from getting along with people even if you are strict.”

[Hey, you’re hitting the point. Ok, ok Do whatever you feel like. Instead, should we return to the sanctuary after the festival?]

“OK!!!!!”

Thanks to this, Johnny was able to stay during the Wind Spirit Ritual instead of immediately returning to the Stormzone Sanctuary. Well, after that, even if you go there, you will learn about your duties as a spirit and the use of your abilities.

Originally, people continue to learn and learn throughout their lives. Even if you can’t do that, if you are weeded out, you will be evaluated as less fallen in the society of that era. So, if you become a spirit, you have to learn that much.

“Yerosto!!!! Drop Johnny and go to the palace!!!!”

[If I, the owner of the sanctuary, fall on another spirit on my back, will I be able to leave that figure!!!!!]

“Then can you follow me from behind?

[……If that’s the case, let’s do it]

With that, we flew to the kingdom of Abes.

It was like a parade. Although only our party rode on the back of Jerosto, the sight of Johnny flying in front of him was quite majestic.

I can’t even remember the diminutive Abes from before. Johnny enjoyed the cheers of the people and reached the Abes palace.

Maybe it was because the spirit was born at the Pungnyeong Festival, but King Abes had a very happy expression. Whether it was for political or tribal reasons, the birth of a spirit at the Pungnyeong Festival was a natural thing to do.

“When the contractor of the owner of the sanctuary asked for an additional application to participate, I expected a little, but it seems that expectation has been fulfilled. Congratulations on becoming a spirit.”

“Go, thank you, Your Highness!!!”

“Speak in peace. I am no longer a subject of the kingdom, but a spirit.”

“It’s hard to fix it all at once.”

It’s okay if you’re openly persecuted, but it’s hard to talk comfortably to someone who was the king of your own country just a few days ago.

There are disadvantages to human perception and sensibility, but on the contrary, there are advantages as well. That’s why Fulstead deliberately creates spirits in such a cumbersome way.

We received a grand reception at the royal palace. It’s hard for Johnny, who has become a spirit, to eat normally, but… No, will it work? I don’t know how.

He said that it was possible if he tried to ask Sto as an example.

[I also eat a lot of food, don’t I? If a spirit has reached a certain level, you can feel the taste even in the body of the spirit. Moreover, since Johnny was born as Abeth, it won’t take long for lower-level spirits to reach that level.]

“That’s good!!!!!”

Eden, who likes to eat, shouted that he was truly fortunate.

It’s so cruel that Eden can’t eat it. Even if you throw a curse enough to make a person an idiot, if the reaction starves for a few days, it’s all said and done.

However, since he couldn’t do that immediately after becoming a spirit, Johnny pretended to eat. Although he felt quite strange about his senses as a spirit.

“How’s Johnny? Do you feel the taste?”

“Uh…Something is different from before. I could feel the taste even in pemmican, but now I can only feel the texture.”

“That can’t be done!!!!!”

“They say you’ll be able to taste it later, so you have to gradually adapt and grow. There’s still a long way to go.”

“Hmm…….”

Eden seemed to be thinking about this and that while looking at Johnny. He was concentrating on the matter so much that he ate dinner casually.

“Dad, Dad, why can’t the spirit taste?”

“In the first place, the concept of taste is the privilege of a race with a physical body. But spirits are not a physical race, so they can’t feel the taste.”

“Hmm, then what if I could taste it with a brace or something?”

[Perhaps you should go to the dimensional civilization and look for it? However, such braces will eventually have their limits.]

There are numerous races with physical bodies, but what about the races with mental bodies or spiritual bodies? Even the monsters and spirit creatures that come out of folk tales or legends on Earth are also of that kind, but when you consider that there are so many types, braces become meaningless.

Moreover, if you have to wear something like that while eating, it’s a bit like that.

“With that, ask Ardolphina later. She’s also a spiritual body, so she doesn’t taste food, so it’s better to listen to her impressions.”

“Even spirits can taste the taste when they grow up, but why can’t Ardolphina, who is stronger than Aregish, and her mother?”

“Isn’t that a racial restriction? Even your mother can’t light a cigarette with her ability…….. No, but why is my name Ardolph?”

“Daddy fucks a dolphin!!!! You can do it!!!!!!”

“I can’t deny that it’s possible, but can you stop saying that?!”

The stronger the race, the more limited it is. As Hanon, Shion can rule the laws of physics, but she never learns the slightest bit of this ability. I don’t know what other dimensions are like, but… Considering that Aregish doesn’t have a sense of taste at least, that seems to be one of the limitations.

I don’t know what the limits of Dream Giant or Bloodier are, but at least I don’t want to be Hanon or Aregish.

What do you do with an antimatter spoon beyond a gold spoon? The demerit is severe. In particular, Arregish does not want to become more.

“Isn’t it because your father doesn’t want to be Hanon because he doesn’t have good brains and he thinks he’d be weak?”

“No!!!! How did you know!!!!!”

“When I go back, I should thank my mother for giving birth to me smartly.”

“Yeah, that’s right”

It’s a relief that our Eden doesn’t have his hair like his dadaaaaa!!!!

Anyway, after being treated in the royal palace, it is a full-scale parade. Even when they came to the palace, they did something similar, but doing it formally was an unusual law.

Johnny stands on top of something similar to a podium and shows off his appearance, and walks around the city under the escort of numerous knights of the Kingdom of Abes. The spirit of the Pungnyeong Festival that was born after 100 years. Even if it was a child he had never heard of, longing and awe came before jealousy.

“Waaaaa!!!!”

“Johnny!!! Johnny!!! Johnny!!!! Johnny!!!!!!!!!!”

“Please sign a contract with me!!!!!”

“Congratulations on becoming a spirit!”

“How did you become a spirit? Please tell me the secret!!! Please!!!!!”

“Yes!!!!! Tell me how you became a spirit!!!!!”

There were good voices, but there were also people who asked about the secret or know-how since he became a spirit.

But that’s something that can’t be explained in words. You have to realize it yourself, and knowing it before then is meaningless. If enlightenment had been conveyed verbally, the Murim people would have done it all with their accumulated history and martial arts.

Johnny also had Fulstead’s warning or something, so he didn’t comment on the question. It was just responding to the reaction of the citizens who cheered and flapped their wings.

“Oh, did you succeed?”

“It’s all thanks to you. It’s because of you that I was able to become a spirit.”

Then, as if thinking of something, Johnny hesitated a little, then slowly brought up the story.

“Uh…But it seems you didn’t sign a contract with Fulstead-sama when you went to the sanctuary before. Why is that?”

“Ah, the person in charge refused. He said he didn’t like Fulstead because he was busy with the Wind Spirit Festival.”

“Really? Then, do you have any intention of making a contract with the wind spirit?”

“What, are you going to sign a contract with me?”

“Yes, the reason why I became a spirit is thanks to all of you. I want to repay you in this way.”

Considering Johnny’s talent, the prospects are stellar. The time we spent with Johnny was less than a month at most, and during that time he grew up and won the windmill festival.

However, Eden rejected Johnny’s contract offer. No, strictly speaking, it’s not a rejection, but it’s a little different.

“No”

“Yes?!”

“Even if you thank us, there’s no need to tie us down and restrict your freedom. Don’t think you’re going to pay it off just because you owe it.”

Having grace means, on the one hand, being in debt. And Eden had no intention of sacrificing the freedom of others to repay the favor.

But… Johnny has grown too. Normally, he would have withdrawn from there, but since he had something on his mind, he stepped out of there even more.

“Then I’ll do as I please. I want to sign a contract with Lady Eden.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Yes, if you ask why, it’s because I want to continue this relationship for a long time. It’s really fun to be with you all.”

“I’ll accept it for that reason!!!! Okay. Let’s make a contract!!!!!”

“Yes!!!!”

Eden and Johnny signed a contract. He came to the Stormzone Sanctuary and could not make a contract with Fulstead, the owner of the sanctuary, but at least he seemed to have met a good connection.

And along the way, he tells Johnny about us. Along with being from another world, this and that.

“It’s another world?!”

“Yes, it is a world where there is only the human race and no spirits. We lived there and came here for a short trip.”

“Wow… I wonder what kind of world it will be.”

“I’ll show you later”

But that didn’t mean I couldn’t take Johnny with me right away. Johnny has a lot to learn because he is like a newborn as a spirit.

So, for a while, I had to stay at the Stormzone Sanctuary and learn about my duties and abilities as a spirit. That’s why Eden didn’t even think about taking him after signing a contract.

“So, learn what to learn here. We made a contract anyway, so we can summon even if we’re in another world.”

“I see… Then until then, I will be increasing my strength as a spirit.”

“Ah!!!! And since the food at our house is delicious, we quickly make it taste like the old days, okay?”

“Yes, got it!!!!”

It’s good to make a contract with a strong spirit. Because the power is increasing right now.

But on the other hand, it’s good to make a contract with a spirit that grows. Growing together or having the potential to grow together is sometimes better than simply being strong.

“Oh!!!! I made a contract with the wind spirit!!!!”

“If you use Susanoo-san’s Authority, you can blow wind, but… The efficiency will be different, right?”

“If Johnny grows up and helps me later, I’ll be able to make two or three with the power to make one.”

“No, it’s strange at the point of creating a typhoon.”

[I can make it too!!!!!]

“Uh huh, the transcendence bell is missing”

At that time, Eden opened his eyes as if he remembered something. However, it seemed that it was not normal for her to feel a little uneasy.

“Oh, come to think of it, I could use it, but why didn’t I think of that?!”

“What do you mean?”

“The wind on the left arm turns right!!!! The wind on the right arm turns left!!!! The overwhelming vacuum created between the two arms is literally a microcosm of a sandstorm like a cogwheel!!!!!”

“God’s Sandstorm?!”

No, you went back to part 2 after dripping part 7?!

However, if I use it, I think it will be able to reinforce Eden’s close combat ability to some extent, so I’m a little nervous.
