The Guardian Deity of the Rock Mountain (3)

Loen continued fighting with Mastus in the dungeon.

Then, only the crisis that almost died without exaggeration passed four times, and after several infusions of magic, he managed to calm down.

If you do more here, you will lose your mana and finish making it only at the moment that you will collapse.

But even his brow wasn't completely subsided, and Mastus was still swaying his body back and forth, unable to heal his anger.

“Parasite guys! I'll wipe out everything! I closed my eyes to what was in the realm and dare to steal my things!”

“Gee, try calming down.”

Mastus' anger resonates in the cave.

It has been over two hundred years since he, an intermediate spirit of the earth, was considered the guardian deity of the village.

Of course, his life as a spirit was many times longer than that, but it was at that point that humans who were swept away by war first entered the realm.

Since no monster dared to approach the spirit's realm, the village was always safe.

However, the beginning of the problem was that a group of humans invaded deeply into the realm and disturbed the realm without such mercy of Masters.

It was not enough to invade the center of the area where he was not allowed, and Mastus, who woke up when he stole his favorite items, was completely angry and lost his reason.

“Well, honestly, I think it’s dying? Why don't you just wipe out one village and get this guy?”

After hearing the story, Feria nodded and sympathized with the words of Mastus.

It was surprisingly generous to have humans in the realm, but dare to steal the spirits.

It was as if I was really waning to die.

Even if they had suffered, the ungrateful humans would have wiped out the visible tribe.

“You're a bit still.”

Loen tapped her elbow and noticed her.

It's like encouraging me to not be able to dry it.

“You can go back. An intermediate spirit like me and his contractor deserve enough respect... … . But from now on, the humans who step into my realm will never forgive. First, it starts with destroying that abominable human village!”

"group… wait! You don't know if the villagers did it. Maybe an outsider came in and did something like this.”

“It doesn't matter which guy did it. It just prevents humans from entering my realm again.”

“Hmm. Of course you should.”

Feria nodded and responded.

When I watched the bugs crawl into a corner of the house, it was like getting shot at dozens of rooms by an unknown bug while sleeping.

Even if I'm not sure if the bugs in the corners of my house were doing it, it was normal to wipe everything out so that it would never happen again.

Of course, the human beings do not know what to think, but at least it was due to the accidents of the spirits.

However, Loen, who was directly commissioned as an adventurer, couldn't let things happen.

“Okay, I only feel like I'm getting angry in a place where I'm not happy.”

“If so, what do we do?”

“I have to chase and catch the criminal at all. And I'm getting things back.”

Loen said, smiling confidently.

Then Mastus looked down at him with his eyes wide open.

"You want to catch the thieves yourself?"

"okay. If it were something you loved, you wouldn't want to get it back. However, as I couldn't go outside the realm, I would have given up early. However, if you sign a contract with me, those restrictions are removed, so the thieves can also track them.”

"indeed… … .”

At Loen's convincing words, Mastus fell into deep trouble.

Originally, I was not going to do any business with humans again.

However, the spirits in front of them had already signed two intermediate spirits with them.

The objective ability is said to be insufficient compared to the standard, but the taste of mana was excellent enough to be tasted for the first time in over a thousand years.

It was Mastus, who had fallen asleep for a long time and had forgotten his taste at all, but it was a shock as if he had forcibly aroused the senses of his whole body that became numb.

Most of all, his proposal itself had no reason to refuse if he could find the stolen items again and kill even the stolen shoplifters.

“… good. Let me lend you my power.”

After contemplating, Mastus accepted his proposal.

There was no violent reaction due to the sense of the insensitive earth spirit, but just by signing a contract with a spirit like Loen now, I could see that the high affinity had done my job steadily.

“You wore some hair?”

“It would have been easier if someone who was talking to me helped me. Well, let's proceed with the contract first.”

Tsutsutsutsu!

Before he changed his mind, Loen quickly went through the contract process.

He had already been contracted with the third spirit connected with him, and the sign of the contract was engraved on one of the body of Masters.

The insensitive guy didn't seem to notice it.

'… What?'

However, the moment the contract was signed, the pain in my chest suddenly passed, and I felt a little strange.

However, it quickly disappeared and passed over.

“This is my first contract with a human. 500 years have passed since the last contract was signed.”

“You have been stuck here for over 500 years? I knew, but you are amazing too.”

“Well, water spirits like to wander.”

The appearance of the two having a conversation was quite friendly.

Maybe it's because it's a spirit of the same four elements, and Feria also accepted Mastus without paying a useless posture.

Most of all, Mastus wasn't picky at all for his position as an intermediate spirit, and he seemed to have a pretty good personality.

I don't know if this is a characteristic of the earth spirits or if it's his natural personality, but it seemed certain that another pretty good partner had emerged.

However, even such Mastus did not forget a word of warning to Loen.

“If we can't get what was stolen back, we won't be able to forgive the humans down there.”

“Okay. I won't dry it then.”

This is the condition I expected of course.

Considering that it was a negotiation for the spirits, it was surprisingly much concessions.

“Then, I'll have to go get rid of the thief first before they completely hide.”

“There are not just one or two humans in the kingdom, and it would not be easy to find. Is there any way you have in mind

“In this case, humans have their own way.”

Loen simply answered Feria's question.

A huge amount of information gathering in the capital every hour.

During the years as an adventurer, I didn't even know how to use them.

'Besides, it is not possible for a common shoplifter to break through the spirit's officers who were guarding the center of the realm and take things out. It's a guy with some skill.'

It wasn't anywhere else, but it was a very big guy who came into the realm of an intermediate spirit and stole things.

It's not that he's never done this once or twice.

This alone has narrowed the range considerably.

“Instead, I have to tell you what they stole. If you want to get things back.”

“It's a stone.”

"stone… Is it?”

“Yes, the guy who shined blue.”

"You mean the spirit stone?"

“Yes, that’s right.”

When Feria asked, Mastus nodded.

A stone that has been altered by the energy of the earth spirit for many years, a spirit stone.

Each of them was characterized by being bright and beautiful in shape, and it was one of the collections that Mastus had collected countless times in the realm.

It was a noble hobby that didn't go well with the outward appearance of something.

'No, because stones collect stones, is it rather suitable? … .'

Loen laughed at a futile thought for a moment and organized her thoughts.

In any case, this makes things easier.

The spirit stone was also an item that contained magical power, and thanks to its beautiful appearance, it was traded at a price higher than that of horsepower, so it was obvious that he stole it for money.

If so, the guy who stole it will probably put it on the black market in a big city.

Also, the capital was the most influential place to head out of this rocky mountain, either by location or by scale.

'Then right... No, you don't have to come and go twice. Let's take the remuneration first.'

* * *

“Well, you mean you solved the problem?”

"Yeah. We've been able to solve the problem through conversation, so there will be no more trouble.”

Loen said to the villagers who stare blankly.

Of course, half was a lie, but he was planning to leave for the capital after receiving payment in advance from the village.

'If you leave the village without receiving money like this, people will naturally know that the problem has been solved. I can't say that I solved it after coming back a while later... … .'

If that happens, you will be in a situation where you can barely get paid after suffering.

“But how do we believe it?”

"Yes. I ran away from the Moras guild, how can he solve it alone? It's just trying to rip us off the money!”

“Somehow it was strange from the beginning!”

It was only a moment that I was surprised, and the reaction of the residents became more intense.

Loen is completely scammed.

However, it seemed that the person concerned knew it would be, and it was calm.

'Also… There's no way you can believe this sound right away.'

It claims that an unknown adventurer who suddenly came out and returned after a few hours had solved the problem.

In a situation where there was no evidence to say this, anyone would look like a scammer.

Of course, you can't just swear and retire.

Before Loen came down to the village, he had a simple countermeasure.

“Chief, let’s talk separately.”

“Whatever you try to do with me is useless. Because this is the fate of the village.”

The village chief replied with a firm expression.

When I said it again, he followed Loen, but it wasn't easy to communicate.

If so, it was enough if words showed them in action.

“You mean you need reliable evidence?”

Loen, who moved to a place where other people's eyes were not, said to the mayor.

"Yes, I can't pass that much money blindly."

“If so, I'll show you. However, I have to tell you in advance, but if you divulge this, the village may be wrong.”

“What are you saying… … ?”

Damn it!

Loen flicked her finger lightly.

Then, at that very moment, the floor cracked with a loud sound, and the rock giant Mastus appeared.

Kuggugu!

“No, what… … .”

The village chief looked up at him blankly with his mouth wide open.

As a guardian deity, he was the first to see him only by hearing his name, but he was able to feel intuition as soon as he saw Mastus.

That the presence in front of you is the true owner of the rocky mountain and an intermediate spirit of the earth.

And.

“I, spirits… … ?”

The astonished mayor's gaze turned to Loen.
