Chapter 1071: Spirit
Abel stepped into the castle hall and came across countless scattered boxes, jars, racks, shelves, and more objects on the floor.
He scanned the area using his power of the will. Most of the items there were used for wizard training and recovery. There were even some special magic objects made from the special resources of the Lance Continent. It was too bad they were only for apprentice wizards.
Of course, there were also many potions for low-rank wizards.
However, considering how many things there were, this luxury castle hall had become a mess.
Abel finally understood why they were treating those resources like this. They were all for wizards, priests, and druids, which were useless to knights.
Still, the scenery looked a little overpowering.
He continued to scan and spotted 3 boxes locked in a magic circle. It seems like what’s in it was very special.
“Harvey, what is that?” he asked.
“I don’t know!” Emperor Harvey quickly replied, and Abel suddenly remembered this inventory was different from the one in the palace. It had not been organized.
Abel did not reply. He stepped forward and opened one of the boxes. There was a half-meter-long pole made out of green jade with patterns inside.
It was a spirit, not an ordinary spirit, but an extremely advanced one.
Abel came across many spirits, and he immediately knew what that green pole was.
Considering it was only half a meter long and filled with delicate patterns, this spirit was in a vulnerable state.
There were 10 intermediate gems by the side of the box to ensure the minimum energy requirement for the spirit to secure its data, but at the same time, it did not have enough to rebel,
Abel reached his power of the will into it and felt a strong sense of rejection like he was an invader.
Abel was shocked. How could a spirit reject him without a protection circle?
However, he soon thought of his commander spirit.
“Commander spirit, I want this spirit to recognise me as the highest authority!” He said.
“Yes Headmaster!” Afterward, an energy wave rushed towards the green spirit
It began to flash in green. It seemed like it was still resisting, but after a minute, the flash settled.
“Master, Lance Spirit is on your command!” Abel tried to connect his power of the will again. This time he did not get rejected.
“You are called the Lance spirit? What are you in charge of?” Abel asked.
“Master, I am the Lance Continent Wizard Union’s main spirit. I’m in charge of The WIzard Union!” The Lance spirit replied.
He felt his heart drop. It was the main spirit of a subcontinent, the spirit of the wizard Union’s headquarters. Everything, including the teleportation network, information network, and exchange network, was cared for by this Lance spirit.
The Lance Spirit should be as powerful as the Holy Continent’s miracle spirit, which was extremely rare in all places.
Cultivating a spirit with powerful managing skills like this was not easy. Abel knew a thing or two about cultivating spirits, and he knew creating something like the Lance spirit would take at least 100 years with a high failure rate.
A spirit’s power would increase by absorbing information, but this process was often long and frustrating.
This was especially the case when creating a to care for a Continent. Perhaps only the wizard union could have enough information to cultivate something like this.
Even taking care of a little town would need large amounts of n.o.ble human knowledge. Taking care of a country would need large amounts of royals and n.o.ble family knowledge.
Running an entire Continent would require coordination on all fronts, so you could just imagine how much information it would take.
If the Holy light Kingdom did not have enough guts to take down the entire wizard union in the Lance Continent, Abel might never get to see a spirit like this in its true form.
The Lance spirit was definitely one of the most valuable things of the Wizard Union. The knowledge it had was thousands of times greater than any n.o.ble family.
If Abel brought the Lance spirit to the Holy Continent and connected it with the teleportation network Abel built, the Holy Continent would be able to operate immaculately even without an emperor.
But of course, it would still need some time for the Lance Spirit to absorb the information of the Kingdom of St Ellis.
Abel carefully took out 10 top-level gems and placed them next to the Lance spirit. Since it had recognized Abel as its owner, it was too important to let anything bad happen to it.
The weakness of a spirit is that it has to be constantly sustained with energy. If not, it would go into a deep sleep, and that was where information loss happens.
Once information loss occurred, the rank of the spirit would drop and run the risk of becoming a low-rank spirit.
Abel put the Lance spirit in his holy portal bag and turned his gaze to the next patterned box with a fire burning in his heart.
Although he was expecting a level of gains with this trip, he was not expecting to find this much. After all, there were not many things that interested him in this rank.
He already has a full set of super teleportation circles, a spirit that could run a Continent, as well as more than 10 battle forts.
Not to mention the vast amounts of souls he received. He almost wanted to thank the Holy light kingdom for taking over the Lance Continent.
Of course, he hadn’t come across any holy objects yet. Not even from the dwarves, orcs, or elves.
It seems like those races had a way of hiding their elites and just let the wizard union take care of things.
Abel opened the second box, and it was another spirit. This one was not as big as the Lance spirit, but it was filled with the style of elves.
It was from the elves, but this time he did not examine it with his power of the will. Instead, he directly asked the commander spirit.
“Command spirit, give me the highest authority!”
Afterward, a gentle energy wave charged forward, and the spirit was helplessly penetrated in 20 seconds.
“Master, magic circle spirit at your service!”
The ability of this spirit was straightforward forward, and Abel immediately knew what it was when he connected with it.
It was the main spirit of the elves’ Vika city.
Although this spirit was used as a City spirit, it was built from the ground up to create magic circles.
It inherited the magic circle knowledge of the elves, which meant it would operate any puppet and distribute resources.
A spirit was not a human. It could control more than 100 puppets simultaneously, which made setting up magic circles a breeze. Even powerful wizards would not be able to match it.
Abel was almost in disbelief. This spirit was basically a powerful magic circle maker.
He didn’t know, but this magic circle spirit was a work of surprise. As the City spirit of Vika City, half of the energy of this spirit was used to manage the city.
However, it never needed much energy due to the peaceful nature of the elves.
Therefore, an elder headmaster elf with a heart for magic circles has utilized the power of this spirit and its excess energy to a.n.a.lyze magic circles. After generations of knowledge acc.u.mulation, this magic circle spirit reached its current form.
If you wanted to cultivate a spirit to make a magic circle by feeding information about puppets and magic circles directly, it would be a huge risk considering the thousands of years it would take. Therefore, this spirit was definitely a treasure.
He quickly took out another 10 top-level gems and placed them next to the magic circle spirit before putting them back in his holy portal bag.
Considering how good those spirits were, Abel was extremely hopeful for the last box.
He opened it, and he was immediately stunned by the strange appearance of the thing inside. It was a black-colored 20 meters pole.
He sensed a strong threat coming from this spirit even without examining it with his power of the will.
It was the first time a spirit made him feel this way.
He would never doubt his inundation, but there was nothing special about the size of this spirit. It was just like a normal magic tower spirit.
He also never heard of a spirit with attacking ability.
He was a law-defying wizard as well as a dragon druid. He could basically wipe out everything in the Lance Continent. So, why did he feel threatened?
“Commander spirit, examine this spirit. Be careful!” Abel said as he paid close attention.
“Yes Headmaster, please wait!” The commander spirit replied.
A gentle energy wave s.h.i.+fted forward, and its intensity slowly increased. Finally, it reached a point a few times stronger than the energy given to take down the Lance Spirit.
“Headmaster. This spirit has the power to absorb the will. It is an abnormal spirit!” The commander spirit replied after a few minutes.
An abnormal was not always a good thing. In fact, most of the time, it was not. Even if you were lucky enough to end up with something positive, it might be insignificant.
Abel’s intuition was right again. The power of the will was the most important thing to a wizard, and something with the ability to absorb it would be catastrophic for a wizard.
“Commander spirit, does this spirit recognise authority?” Abel did not strike impulsively.
“Headmaster, the commander spirit, has the natural power to suppress most spirits, this one is no exception!” The commander spirit replied.
Abel didn’t understand, but what the commander spirit meant by most spirits were most ancient spirits.
For a spirit design for warfare, the commander spirit held the highest power.
“Ok, give me the highest authority!” Abel lowered his voice.
After a minute, he no longer sensed a threat coming from the black-colored spirit. It had recognized him as the owner.
He reached his power of the will inside and discovered the secret of this spirit.
It was called the black spirit, and it was the result of long years of research by the priests. It was fed large amounts of data from the soul, and some soul magic circles were tested on it.
Finally, it had become an abnormal spirit with the ability to absorb the power of the will.
It was best used for protecting a magic circle. If anyone wanted to investigate it with their power of the will, it would be directly swallowed.
Emperor Harvey alone has taken control of the Lance Continent for 300 years, so of course, they were aware of the treasures of each race.
Normal spirits would not attract an all-mighty ruler like the Holy light Kingdom. Only the cream of the crop like these 3 would end up being kept.
