Chapter 51 - Chapter 7: Advent #9
“You are my temporary master, not a permanent one! Find a way!”
Green Wind stood up and shouted. The wind blew around her as she was quite agitated and her green hair flew up like flames.
In-gong waved his hands and cried out,
”Wait a minute, wait a minute! Just calm down.”
“Understood.”
Green Windy responded promptly and really sat back down. In-gong coughed a few times before asking Green Wind,
”Green Wind, what is your current state?”
All the things In-gong had conquered so far didn’t have a will, so it was impossible for them to speak. Due to that, In-gong didn’t know exactly how he had ‘conquered Green Wind’.
Green Wind looked up at In-gong with doe-like, clear eyes and said in a natural tone.
”I am yours. So, I have to submit to you. You can do whatever you please.”
Green Wind spoke casually but In-gong’s perspective was different. In-gong knew she was trying to calm down.
”Watch me.”
Instead of looking at Green Wind, In-gong stared at the tree trunks and took deep breaths.
“Okay. Let’s talk again. Anyway, is it that uncomfortable to be dominated by me? Things have changed.”
”It isn’t about my abilities or status. I need to exist here as Green Wind.”
Green Wind stood up again and pointed at herself.
”My master, if I am gone, Enger Plains will lose its colour. I am a piece of Watcher Ainkel and the symbol of her magic on the Enger Plains.”
Watcher Ainkel had two magic spells on Enger Plains.
One was the magic of life that turned a desert into the Enger Plains and the other was the magic to protect Enger Plains that In-gong used today.
Green Wind had become a separate existence from Ainkel, so she was separate from the protection magic, but the magic of life was different.
She had kept watch over the Enger Plains for a long time and became closely related to the life magic that kept it green. She was like the biggest cog that kept a machine spinning precisely.
In the first place, she was concentrating mostly on the magic of life and helping In-gong, instead of fighting the monsters directly.
After hearing Green Wind’s explanation, In-gong came up with the simplest solution.
”Well, okay. Then can’t I just leave you behind at Enger Plains? You don’t have to leave with me.”
The Thunder Light Anvil was left in its original spot and nothing else happened. In-gong had no intention of taking Green Wind if it would turn Enger Plains into a desert again.
However, Green Wind because greatly panicked by In-gong’s words and her face seemed like someone losing their country.
”Master, are you planning on abandoning me?”
If he nodded, he would feel like a bad guy as ‘leave here’ was interpreted as ‘abandoning her’.
“Uh... Wait a minute. Green Wind, do you want to go with me?”
In response to In-gong’s question, Queen Wind replied decisively like there was nothing to think about.
”Whether it is temporary or permanent, you are still my master. It is natural to join you.”
It wasn’t simply a matter of likes or dislikes. In the first place, she couldn’t act separately from In-gong.
‘Thinking about it... is this a spirit contract?’
In-gong examined Green Wind again. She had the appearance of a beautiful woman but she wasn’t a person. As Green Wind’s name suggested, she seemed to be a wind spirit.
‘Okay, well it isn’t a bad thing. It is good.’
She was a big help in today’s battle. There was no reason for In-gong to resist.
‘All that is left is solving the problem.’
In-gong was troubled and asked Green Wind who was sitting next to him,
“Green Wind, you said that you are the magic symbol of Enger Plains?”
“I did.”
”Then can you make another presence to replace you?”
A new spinning cog would be created to fill in the absence caused by Green Wind.
Green Wind started to think seriously about In-gong’s idea. It seemed like she had never thought of creating something to replace her before.
'Actually, it would be strange if she had thought of it.’
She had been the guardian of Enger Plains for hundreds of years. She thought she would always maintain Enger Plains’ greenness, so she hadn’t thought of another existence.
Some time passed and she frowned after pondering it for a while.
“It might be possible, but if I do that, I won’t be very helpful to Master for a while. I will have to leave almost all my power behind on the Enger Plains. If I stay with Master, I will regain my strength someday... I don’t know when that will be.”
It was a bit disappointing but within the expected range, so In-gong nodded.
“Then do so.”
”I feel somewhat sad doing this. However, I will follow Master’s will.”
She pouted and fell silent like she was really sulking.
In-gong smiled and asked involuntarily,
”Will it take a long time?”
”I’ve never tried it before, so there is no guarantee. My guess is that it requires three or four days.”
Well, it would take some time to clean up this situation. They had to sweep up the runaway casios and dragon ogres as well as decide how to manage the protection magic in the small temple.
‘I don’t know if someone will come from the Demon King’s Palace.’
After securing the Thunder Light Anvil, there were dark elves sent for the sole purpose of exploring the ruins. It was highly possible that the Demon King’s Palace would send an expert to manage it.
In-gong wandered about who might be sent from the Demon King’s Palace. Although he didn’t know everyone in the Demon King’s Palace, he was able to recall the rough profiles of some competent people.
However, he didn’t think about it for long. After sitting back and watching In-gong, Green Wind was reminded of his first purpose.
