Regressor, Possessor, Reincarnator

Episode 39

“Oh, is it? As you walk around, you notice a familiar smell?”

“A familiar smell?”

“Damn you, you bastard. It smells like a high elf, so when I went there, there was a barrier!”

Can a sword smell?

Allen asked a question about the barrier, leaving a deep question in his mind.

“Barrier?”

“yes! Well, it seems to block all living things except spirits. However!”

-Soouk

“Voila! There’s no way you can stop this edgy genius pretty girl!”

Allen stopped for a moment at the sight of Bestla who suddenly disappeared from his sight.

‘… Is this a barrier?’

He widened his senses and carefully explored the space in front of him, but he could not find anything.

Magical power, and traces of barriers. An ordinary forest with no abnormalities.

‘If it wasn’t for Bestla, I wouldn’t have been able to even find it.’

When Allen didn’t follow, she exclaimed aloud, thinking she was hesitating.

“You come in too! With your body, would it be possible to force in like me?”

Allen remembered the terrain around him, and slowly walked forward.

How long did you walk while resisting something gently pushing your body?

“Why are you so late!”

When she turned her head to the familiar voice, Bestla was screaming and flapping her specimen in the distance.

Allen walked in her direction and looked around.

Unlike the chilly outside, a warm and gentle wind.

A green sprout with fresh vitality broke through the ground, and a small waterfall flowed across the forest, creating a cool landscape.

“Is this the fountain of spirits?”

“yes! Exactly at the entrance to the barrier! The fountain of spirits is in the center of the barrier!”

After saying that, Bestla quickly flew away with a stroke.

Allen felt strange as she followed her towards the center of the forest. It seems like something important is missing… .

‘Have you ever seen living things while coming here?’

Suddenly, I opened my senses and looked at it, but strangely, there was not even a single creature to be found here.

Not only games and bears that are common in the forest, but also blue snow caps running through trees and birds flying in the sky.

Basically, there are no creatures that should exist in the forest.

‘Isn’t a barrier a barrier?’

Allen left his thoughts behind and headed towards the center of the barrier.

A wizard who studies barriers would have been interested, but he wasn’t interested because it wasn’t his major.

After walking a little further to the place where the sound of water was heard, I could immediately find the fountain of spirits.

“… Is this the fountain of spirits that I have only heard of?”

Just looking at the fountain, clear enough to see the water surface and the floor sparkling with dozens of colors in an instant, made me thirsty.

Allen carefully knelt and brought her face close to the spring.

“Careful! Because once you drink it, the effect disappears.”

Allen, who was about to drink the spring water as if possessed, stopped.

“High Elf, what’s the reason for these dwarves to put up a barrier?”

Saying so, she jumped into the spring without Allen waiting to dry.

fondant-

“Oh, it’s cool. If a spirit or non-psychic creature such as a spirit touches it, the fountain is polluted. So, decide carefully!”

“Then, Bestla, you… .”

“Isn’t the sword a living thing?”

Allen reflected on himself for trying to move rashly and stepped back.

I was giving up on my own, so I opened the book to review the content I had only skimmed through.

『──Julius completed the quest to restore the reputation of the idiot and was rewarded with a space scroll scroll to the fountain of spirits… .』

‘Quest rewards, barriers that do not allow living things to enter, scroll through space, and a fountain of spirits that ends with one drink.’ Even with Allen’s own sensing power, he could not even find a fragment of the barrier, and if it hadn’t been for the Black Book, he wouldn’t have even known of its existence.

‘There were other things, but this one in particular… .’

When the contents of the book Allen had read and the words of Bestla were combined, they came to a single conclusion.

‘A prepared reward for Julius.’

It was certain.

The fountain of spirits, which may have been there since when, was appointed as a reward only for Julius.

Otherwise, it would be near impossible to find.

The reason he was able to discover it was thanks to the combination of the black book, Bestla’s guide, and even the changed body.

Its unusual strength was also understandable with the help of these things.

‘These things are endlessly provided.’

shook his head

It was him, not the guy, who occupied this place.

There are many opportunities ahead. In this way, you will have to prepare step by step.

Allen drank the spring water without hesitation.

That moment.

The book connected to 『■■■■ detects ■■! ■■■■ responds to ■■! 』

The book connected to 『■■■■ detects ■■! ■■■■ responds to ■■!! 』

The book connected to 『■■■■ detects ■■! ■■■■ responds to ■■!!! 』

… …

Immediately after the return, the pages of the white book, which had no special abilities, quickly turned and fluttered like crazy.

Allen jumped to his feet without even feeling the taste of the spring water.

“… This?”

But as soon as Allen regained consciousness, the white book calmed down as if it had ever been.

–

The book connected to 『■■■■ detects ■■! ■■■■ is… 』

As Allen hurriedly opened the white book, the letters that appeared instantly began to disappear.

『■■■■ and this… 』

“What are you doing there?”

When Bestla opened her mouth.

Drinking the spirit’s spring water, he suddenly begins to analyze the current situation.

It has been a long time since I returned to my usual book.

Allen looked at the white book with deep eyes.

‘Did the white book have more power than the usual recording of me?’

What do you mean by just appeared?

Allen looked at the white book for a while. But the white book only documented his actions as usual.

The spring water was surprisingly tasteless.

Even if you just drank fresh water, you could believe it.

But the effect was clear.

– Hwiong?

Translucent spirits roaming in front of Allen’s eyes.

Allen, who had no relationship with a spirit in his previous life or in the present, could clearly sense the presence of several spirits staring at him with curious faces around the spring.

It was proof that the affinity had risen enough to make a contract with the spirit.

Ordinarily, he would have considered the newly raised spirit affinity, but Allen was distracted by what he had just experienced.

“ah. The fountain of spirits… .”

When I looked at the fountain of spirits out of fear, the colorfully sparkling water turned into a common spring that can be seen everywhere.

“Did I say that? One drink and it’s over? Are you sorry?”

“No, that’s not it.”

Right now, the fountain of spirits was pretty good.

It was even more important to Allen that the book’s reaction had something to do with the one who brought him back.

“Now let me go again. Can I just go out?”

“Right!”

Allen quickly collected the remaining elixir after exiting the spirit spring.

Jungryongok inside the broken eagle statue.

A moonflower blooming in a pit under the cliff.

Even the elixir hidden in the 6th cave.

In addition to that, he returned to the place where the wagon was, taking all the elixirs called elixirs that could estimate the location.

Linbell and Enelia had returned there first.

Bestla shut her mouth as soon as Allen joined them.

“All items marked on the map have been collected.”

Allen took the item that Inelia gave her, and asked what he was most worried about.

“Are there any traces?”

“We left no traces as much as possible, so anyone who discovers it later won’t be able to tell that we’re here.”

Allen was relieved by her response that she knew what he was worried about.

“It was a lot of work.”

“To this extent… .”

“No, I will make time for this later.”

Allen was very grateful to her.

He does what he does in secret without any questioning, and he has no complaints. I didn’t know how reliable it was to have a subordinate.

‘So the compensation should be sure.’

At the same time, I also needed to talk to her, so I can hand it over with the spirit-ok I got this time.

“I’ll call you when the time comes, so look forward to it.”

At that, she made a grim expression as if something was coming, and nodded her head.

“all right.”

In response to her reaction, I asked separately because I wanted to relieve tension in meeting two people.

“When I’m really nervous, like Linbell… .”

“I, I will go alone!”

Allen agreed to her reaction, blushing and shaking her head as if it was okay.

‘Because it’s okay, it’ll be okay.’

The party put all the items they had obtained from the mountain into the wagon and headed for the mansion.

When he managed to sneak back to the mansion’s annex several hours later, Allen was relieved.

‘This alone will not be able to stop him from growing, but we can slow it down for a while.’

Allen was satisfied with that.

When time passed and the probation ended.

“Yes, Julius. Go carefully.”

“Your brother is going with you… .”

“I’m fine, so let’s enjoy the royal road. There are many interesting items in the city, so it would be good to look around.”

Julius and his party headed to the royal road.

Julius and his party headed to the royal capital to put up the ancient relics that were not fully processed in the counties, at the auction house held in the royal capital around this time.

“Confucius, is it really okay for me to ride the same carriage?”

“Yeah, because I don’t discriminate against people.”

Julius nodded his head lightly toward Anya, who looked restless.

“… Well, if other people see it.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Rather, it would have been more beneficial if he was fully recognized as a person of Julius.

“Didn’t I tell you I was going to stay one day on Mount Nicaea?”

“Yeah, maybe in a little while you will enter the entrance of the mountain… .”

Reina’s mouth stopped at the sound of knocking on the carriage’s door.

“Confucius, we have reached the mountain.”

“okay. go out.”

When he opened the door, the knight who was supposed to follow him from Gavia, Byron, greeted him without a single distraction.

“As you said, we have reached the mountain behind.”

“Julius. If there is anything you need to solve in the back mountain, I… .”

This work cannot be entrusted to anyone and cannot be said.

“I’ll go for a walk alone for a while.”

“I escort… .”

“Because it’s done.”

Julius stopped even Reina, who was quietly chasing him, and proceeded in a direction where there were no people alone.

The reason he moved alone was simple.

‘This time, I’ll have to take the quest rewards that have been slowly accumulated.’

Until now, I couldn’t go to collect the rewards due to overlapping work from the historical site tour, the harvest festival, and even Dalian.

So, if you take the reward on the way to the royal road, it will be fine.

‘priority… .’

Below the paulownia tree where the elixir of [Blue Meteor Shower (A)] is buried.

There is also a map, so it was easy to find.

Julius followed the guidance of the map and dug under the paulownia tree that had arrived.

By the way… .

no compensation

“Come on, can’t we just do this for a second? Isn’t it here?”

Julius checked the map. But the map pointed exactly to this place.

Julius searched all the surrounding land, but couldn’t find anything as if there was no such thing.

“No, it can’t be like this.”

it will be just this Maybe nothing else?

I hid my nervousness and headed to the place where there are other rewards… .

“haha… , is that a lie?”

The spirit-okdo that was said to be inside the broken eagle statue.

“You don’t even have this?”

Wolmangcho was said to have bloomed alone in a pit under the cliff.

“Crazy, this isn’t it. no? No?”

The elixir that the fugitive wizard finally completed.

“… Hopefully, there will be none of this.”

After that, Julius, who lost his eyes, frantically followed the map and searched the mountain behind him in search of a reward… .

“Don’t be mean, don’t be mean! Damn it!”

It was like I couldn’t find it.

It was a reward that was scheduled to be received by completing the quest by splitting the remaining time. Most of the maps with the rewards were buried in Mount Nicaea, so I was going to take them all at once… .

“Shake.”

Julius hurriedly took out a space-moving scroll from his bosom.

“I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope.”

A map obtained after completing ‘Father’s Test’.

It was a reward I had saved because I thought I would receive a special reward.

– Ji-ik

When the scroll was torn off, Julius’ body swelled and moved into the barrier where the fountain of spirits was located.

“No? No wonder, it’s only a place you can get to by scrolling through space. please please.”

I hadn’t looked for it until now because I thought it would be suspicious if someone who was in the mansion for a moment suddenly came back from the mountain.

“I didn’t mean to do that, damn it, damn it.”

Nothing caught his eye. Julius’s heart raced like crazy, and a cold sweat broke out.

The moment I arrived at the fountain of spirits.

“… after. thank god.”

The spirit fountain had a calm atmosphere as if nothing had happened.

For a while, he immediately swallowed the spring water, lest this too suddenly disappear.

– gulp

“… Cool.”

Julius made up his mind and waited for something to happen. He said it was a special reward, so he wondered what would happen.

“This elixir is a little late in effect.”

Even after 10 minutes.

“Is this something different? Also a special reward.”

even after 30 minutes.

“Wait, what, something is strange… .”

even after an hour.

When nothing happened, Julius forcibly stopped breathing and approached the spring.

“Haha, it looks like you didn’t drink enough.”

If not, there’s no way nothing’s going to happen.

Julius drank the spring water.

“Are you still lacking? more?”

One sip, two sips, three sips… .

“It’s still not enough. You have to eat more.”

That’s when ten sips are drunk and 20 sips have passed.

“No, no. It can’t be like this. It shouldn’t be like this. No!”

He plunged his head into the spring and inhaled it.

However, he drank the spring water as if his stomach was about to burst, but nothing happened.

Is it because I drank too much?

Julius’s eyes, whose eyes had barely calmed the rising feeling of vomiting, touched his own reflection on the surface of the water.

Torn clothes and scattered hair everywhere.

Red eyes and rough breathing.

My heart was pounding like crazy, and my eyes trembled like aspen.

“… You don’t have one?”

It was only then that Julius realized that the reward of the Spirit’s Fountain had disappeared.

“None?”

When I realized that, I couldn’t stand it.

This could not be. This was not the result he had hoped for.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!

“Ahhhhhhh!!”

From deep in the forest, Julius’ scream resounded for a long time.
