CHAPTER 29

"OK, One last question. Why no one tried what we did just now ?", Arata asked.

"It cannot be answered now. All I can say is that you will definitely find the answer to this question in the future, if you find a way to live longer.", Vaner said.

So he knew ! He must be like the god. I really don't know what kind of entity is a scroll master, but I will definitely try to figure out the answer in the future. Till then, I have to work hard to keep the Alvarez… no destroy the other empires and find a way to live. It seems important to actually keep that empire now.

"So, now in front of you is the scenery which resembles your alter, which is kind of interesting, as it's similar for both of you. A barren land. That means you are very healthy minded. This is exactly a mind which should NOT be, therefore your mind is which it exactly should be.", Vaner said.

Arata and Rachel more or less understood what Vaner meant.

"So what should we do ?", Arata asked.

"Well, as you are not normal, you consumed a scroll which violated the law, you will have to figure it out yourself.", Vaner said.

Violated the law ? Is it something related to that thing he could not answer ? So, what could Arata do now ?

"Can you give us some kind of a clue atleast…", Rachel asked Vaner.

"Hmmm.. This place would be full of spirits and you just had to form a contract with one, and that spirit would reside in your consciousness. It would become your life time friend. Even now, they are there, but you can't see them, but you can form a contract with them. That's all.", Vaner said.

So we can't see the spirits. At least, it was good that now he could figure out what to do. Arata walked around the barren land and so did Rachel. They were hoping they could bump into someone, but it looked like they would pass through the spirits.

"They also probably resent you for not following the law.", Vaner said.

This obviously had to do something with only being able to cultivate one of three from Enhancement, Transmuters, Summoners and one of three from Assassination, Transmuters, Healers.

"You are fast on the uptake aren't you ? Don't worry, you will know soon.", Vaner said.

Damn, he could read my thoughts ! Arata decided to then speak.

"Can me and Arata go separate ?", Rachel asked.

"Nope, you have only one scroll. It's already a surprise that you were able to come here, and that the two of you. It's already a Miracle ! I don't expect you to succeed, but if you have come here, then succeed in signing a contract with a spirit.", Vaner said.

"Can we sign a contract with all the spirits ?", Arata asked. He felt a change in the surroundings after he said.

"All the spirits have to be satisfied by you to sign the contract. Normally, only one spirit would be ready to go with you, and having more than one will affect you consciously, so it's not at all recommended, neither have I seen, because it's already hard enough to find one ready to go with you. Also, the ones willing should be useful to you also.", Vaner said.

Too many problems huh ?

"I am interested in you guys. See if you can handle the power I give you !", said a female voice.

"Same here. Besides, if she goes, then so will I, I will follow her anywhere. And I can feel a strong bond between you.", said another male voice.

The spirits finally talked ! And looks like they were interested, Arata and Rachel thought.
