Chapter 573 - Snow (2/2)
“This is my summoned spirit, Snow,” Rhode introduced casually as he picked up a plate of food.
“Summoned spirit?” Anne and Lize exchanged looks with each other. However, they weren’t that astonished because, after all, it wasn’t anything new for Rhode to randomly summon some spirits before them. Furthermore, this young girl named Snow was much more normal than the uniquely peculiar Agatha.
However, after taking a closer look, apart from her lower body that resembled exactly like a fish, her fingers were webbed and her ears were similar to a pair of flipped pennant flags, drifting in the water. Besides, the area where her neck and face linked up was covered in scales. However, this appearance gave a sense of freshness. Moreover, when she hid behind Rhode, her startled expression was like that of a kitten and was truly adorable.
“Aiya, so cute… Anne wants to hug her,” Anne rushed over instantly and sized her up from top to bottom with round, passionate eyes.
At the same time, her itchy hands touched all over the water ball surface and she turned to Rhode in some dissatisfaction. “Why didn’t Leader summon such an adorable spirit earlier?”
“I only got my hands on her today.”
Of course, Rhode wouldn’t remain silent to Anne’s ‘false accusation’. The reason why he summoned Snow wasn’t that he wanted to show her off to them. Creating spirits and summoning spirits were different. The former required a massive amount of ‘usage’ before accumulating enough EXP for growth. If he used her like the Holy Sword Card Deck or the Hell Hound when necessary, perhaps the time would never come for her to grow completely. Moreover, the amount of spiritual energy that such created cards consumed was limited. It would only require 5 points of spiritual energy every hour and it was less than the amount of spiritual energy that Rhode could automatically recover in one hour. Therefore, there wouldn’t be any harm for Rhode to summon her by his side.
Of course, this young girl must also avoid certain situations. No matter what, she was no different from a child who had just been born. Her brain didn’t have any memories or knowledge, and Rhode had to teach her everything. If Rhode didn’t lead by example, she would become the model result of an incompetent Master.
“Today?” Lize looked at the panicky little spirit in astonishment. “Could she be the Ice Devil’s…”
“Somewhat related… Yes, actually you can say it that way,” said Rhode.
Of course, Rhode wouldn’t explain the system mission reward so frankly to them. Moreover, Snow was the mission reward for annihilating the Ice Devil so it wasn’t wrong for Lize to relate her to it. Lize finally understood why Rhode avoided the celebration feast after gaining victory over the Ice Devil. On the other hand, Anne continued to make a big fuss as she stuck her face to the water ball and stared at Snow. “Eh eh eh? Leader said that this adorable little fella is related to the Ice Devil? Will she also turn into a big monster like it?”
“Of course she won’t. She and the Ice Devil merely live in the Water Plane of Existence. Hmm…” Rhode paused for a moment. “You can treat it as she has been sealed up before the Ice Devil was defeated. Now that the Ice Devil is gone, she has awakened from the seal and become my spirit.”
“Ah. I see,” said Anne.
Although Anne seemed to have been enlightened, Rhode was sure that she didn’t understand it at all. But Rhode left it as it was because he knew that no matter how hard he explained, she still wouldn’t get it. As Anne wormed her way into knowing Snow, Rhode turned to Lize.
“Lize, surely you didn’t look for me at this hour just for this, right?”
“Eh?” Lize let out an awkward cough and nodded slightly. “Yes, Mr. Rhode. I’ve heard from Mr. Walker… A large-scale of the Southern Legion has assembled up north.”
