“You, do you by any chance know about the legendary Fire king?”

At those words from Syarlon, Ian stopped using the attribute essence and turned to him .

“Nope, hearing it for the first time… What's the fire king?”

After gulping, Syarlon began to speak again .

“Fire King . Literally, the Great King of Fire . And the legendary Fire King…”

“Among the spirits of the fire spirit, there are a few spirits which are sometimes born with fire power above a certain limit… and they sometimes grow up to be the spirit king called the 'Fire king' . ”

At those words of Syarlon, Ian's eyes began to s.h.i.+ne .

'This smells like something huge is in here!'

Syarlon couldn't come up with such a statement without a reason .

Therefore, expectations began to swell inside the mind of Ian .

“Does this red fire egg have the energy of a king?”

And Syarlon's answer met the expectations of Ian perfectly .

“Yes . No normal spirits would be born from eggs of these sorts . ”

“Ah…!”

“Furthermore, the energy I feel from this is that of the Fire king… this is an energy that can be felt from at least an medium level spirit . ”

Ian started to get much more intrigued by the words of Syarlon and asked, “However, this spirit hasn't even been born yet…”

The two people s.h.i.+fted their gaze and looked over at the red egg at the same time .

Whether Ian had added the fire essence attribute, the egg began to glow in a higher dark shade of red .

The egg was burning much more redder than when it first appeared .

“This one is surely the fire king . ”

“Kue!”

A sound of excitement came out of Ian's mouth .

'The great king of fire! The name itself sounds so cool!'

Ian, who barely managed to stop himself from cheering out loud, pulled out the nature marbles into his hands .

He then spoke while looking at the side of Syarlon .

“Syarlon, you too are curious as to what kind of guy will come out, right?”

“Obviously . ”

“Then, let's do it now . Hatch it up . ”

Syarlon nodded his head and replied, “Okay . I don't know, but if it is a nature marble, then there won't be a lack of energy . ”

Syarlon added, “But don't get your hopes up . ”

“It is clear that he is the seed of the king, but he won't be as great as a king until he becomes a real spirit king . ”

“That… is true . ”

Ian looked a little sad .

Because he was under the impression that he would be growing up a king .

'Well, I don't know how long it will take until he becomes a spirit king, but… even then, he is so much better than a normal fire spirit . '

Ian once again looked over at the fire king's egg .

“Hoo…!”

Taking a deep breath, he slowly brought the nature marbles in front of the egg .

“Kay, hatch up!”

At the same time, the nature marbles began to s.h.i.+ne brightly .

Tring-!

[The item 'Nature's Marble' has been used . ]

[Lesser spirit 'Fire spirit egg' has been increased by 6,000 . ]

[The conditions have been met . ]

[The 'Fire spirit egg' woke up . ]

Crack- Crack-!

With the sound of an egg cracking, all the sides of the egg began to crack on the red surfaced ostrich egg .

As the light from the marble got soaked in, the egg started to burn redder and cracks gradually spread all over the surface of the egg .

Crack-!

Subsequently, fire burst through the cracks with a loud sound .

And after a while…

Plop-!

The egg's sh.e.l.ls scattered everywhere, and a small shadow appeared .

Tring-!

[Fire lesser spirit, 'Agbi' has been earned . ]

[You have earned one of the 'Four Grand Spirit' for the first time!]

In front of Ian's eyes, the information window of 'Agbi' had appeared .

The spirit called 'Agbi' was a cute one .

It had an appearance that was similar to that of a human, with small horns and a pointed tail, reminiscent of that of a little devil .

“Oh!”

Contrary to what Syarlon had said about this spirit not being as great as the other spirit kings, the stats which Ian had seen was simply amazing .

'This seems fun…?'

The first thing that was surprising for Ian was the two unique abilities that Agbi had .

It had a tremendous superiority compared to what Jack had .

In the case of Jack, the lower spirit had no unique abilities and gained just one when he turned into an intermediary spirit .

And Agbi, which was also a lesser spirit, already had two unique abilities .

'Yeah, well, this guy might just have three unique abilities once he becomes an intermediary spirit . '

And that wasn't just that .

Its combat capabilities were also much better than what Ian had expected .

Agbi's combat abilities despite just being a lower spirit were better than that of Jack, an intermediary spirit .

Even in the case of offensive capabilities, he was superior to any of the familiars that Ian had and far more than what Ian was expecting .

'This guy is not as great as the other spirit king… Do all four spirits have such abilities?'

Of course, there weren't only positive traits .

While the stats were all superior to that of Jack, the spirit power needed for it to evolve was at a tremendous level too .

When Jack had to be evolved to an intermediary spirit, the spirit needed for him was just 1,000, but now the new one needed at least 10 times more .

In short, it was ten times harder to evolve .

Ian, who was curious, called Syarlon .

“Syarlon . ”

“Go on . ”

Chrip-!

Ian summoned Chirpy and then spoke .

“I have another summon, an intermediary lightning spirit . ”

Looking at Chirpy, who was flapping its wings, Syarlon nodded his head and said, “I see that . ”

“The difference between this guy and Agbi's combat ability is way too great . According to Prettybbook, the difference between the Four Grand spirit and the normal spirit isn't that huge… is Agbi a special case because he is the seed of the king?”

At the question of Ian, Syarlon immediately shook his head .

“Not at all . ”

“Hmm…?”

“I don't know exactly, but maybe the combat power of Agbi is similar to that of the other spirits . ”

“Then, were the words of Prettybbook wrong?”

Syarlon once again shook his head .

“That isn't it either . ”

“The one you have is a lightning attribute spirit . It is a 'high-speed growing' type . ”

“High speed… growing… type?”

According to Syarlon, the stats of the non-four spirits vary widely .

In the case of Jack, the combat power wasn't set as low, but the spirit power needed for its growth was very low .

As soon as he heard that, Ian touched his temple and nodded .

'No wonder… the spirit power difference is too big . '

If the difference in the amount of spirit needed for the evolving the two was calculated, then the combat ability of Agbi was certainly convincing .

Ian started to clear his head .

The spirit content . Whether it was real or not, was endless .

Nevertheless, one thing was for sure .

This time, the guy called 'Agbi' was a very special one .

“Huhu . ”

Ian wanted to try this guy as soon as possible .

In addition, he wanted it to grow quickly and evolve into a spirit king .

'In order to do that, we must first learn the spirit magic of fire attribute . '

Ian, who was feeling good, looked over at Agbi who was floating in the air .

He then stroked him slightly and mumbled, “Let's do well from now on, kid . ”

Then, the mouth of the kid opened and said,

“Nice to meet you, master . ”

Ian, who was surprised, widened his eyes .

“You… can speak?”

Till now, Ian had never seen a spirit speak .

Which was why he was amazed when the spirit Agbi spoke .

Syarlon, who was watching Ian from the side, asked .

“Huhu, are you witnessing a spirit speak for the first time?”

“Yeah . ”

Syarlon laughed once and said, “All the spirits can talk . ”

“Uh?”

“It is just that the lower leveled ones find it hard to communicate with humans . Even the lowest spirits can speak to each other . ”

“Ah, I see!”

Syarlon turned toward Agbi .

“For a spirit to communicate with a man… this is surely is the right one . ”

Listening to Syarlon, Ian started to feel better .

The newly obtained spirit was excellent, which made it hard for him to be disappointed .

Ian stroked Agbi and said, “Let's grow it well, Syarlon . ”

“Hoho . You need to do that . It is the seed of the fire king, you know . It is very precious . ”

“I will make sure that it grows to be a spirit king . ”

“If you did kill the guardian machine, you can be trusted . ”

Looking into the eyes of Ian, Syarlon gave a tender smile .

Seeing Ian, he opened his mouth again .

“That is what I mean…”

“Go on Syarlon . ”

“Can you do me a favor?”

Upon hearing those words from Syarlon, Ian's eyes began to gleam .

The quest was waiting to be played .

'Is this going to be a hidden quest? Finally!'

Ian quickly answered Syarlon, “Of course, I will do as much as I can . ”

At the delightful response of Ian, Syarlon looked rather pleased .

“Huhu, thank you . It was a work I had to do awhile back, but I couldn't just leave this place as I didn't have a reliable friend . ”

System messages came up at the corner of Ian's eyes .

Tring-!

[The quest 'Contaminated Mine in the Spirit Mountain (Epic) (Hidden)' has been triggered . ]

'This surely is a quest that can progress only with the possession of a Middle-Earth t.i.tle in possession, at least that's what I remember…'

Na Ji-chan's gaze was fixed on the tablet throughout the meeting .

He was very curious about what Ian was doing right away, so he couldn't concentrate on the meeting that was taking place .

'The location of the contaminated mine is obviously inside the Sprit mountain . How did this quest even get triggered?'

On the map of the spirit dimension, the spirit mountain had a map connected to the north of the spirit sanctuary .

In order to get there, he had to get the 'Warrior's qualification' .

However, as Na Ji-chan knew, no server in the human dimension had found the Warrior village, rather a warrior .

The content hadn't even opened yet .

'What could this be? Isn't this a bug?'

Anxiety started to strike the mind of Na Ji-chan like a storm .
