Chapter: 22
Gulp-
Gulp-
The only sound echoing at the top of the stone tower was the old man drinking.
Around him, 20 empty bottles were neatly arranged.
"Hey, are you sure he's okay? He drank all that?"
"Leave him be. He's always like that."
-The old man can really hold his liquor;
-Is it non-alcoholic?
-Even 20 bottles of water would do in.
-Seriously, I'd be full.
Yeonwoo was watching with concern, but the old man remained unfazed.
If soone were to attack him now, he would react instantly.
"Ah!"
Finally, the old man wiped his mouth after emptying the last bottle.
He stood up and turned around.
"That wasn't bad alcohol."
Despite the casual evaluation, his face showed imnse satisfaction.
Hanbit knew well that this was the highest praise.
'I worked so hard to make it.'
After seeing the Elentalist in the city, Hanbit went around gathering ingredients to make this special alcohol.
It was a thod he learned from a small ethnic group he encountered by chance at the edge of the world during his 7th playthrough.
"I'm glad you liked it. Can we talk now?"
"...So, you brought this."
The old man held up the cloth that was tied to the bottle.
He examined the emblem with the green sword and said, "Huh. Did that Balder really send you?"
Surprise mixed with a short sigh.
The old man knew Swordsman Balder's pride best.
To think that his disciple, whom he acknowledged, had sent soone... it was hard to simply accept.
"What did Balder say?"
"He said I could gain a completely different kind of teaching."
"Indeed."
The old man chuckled and tucked the cloth into his waistband.
Then, he said in a cold voice, "Go back. You cannot accept my sword."
"Why? Because none of your disciples succeeded in learning it?"
"...You're perceptive."
The Swordsman of the Wind had quite a few disciples.
But none of them succeeded in embodying his swordsmanship.
When his last disciple, Balder, who showed promise, also failed, he gave up and quietly disappeared.
"The talent required for my sword is not simple. It's aningless to simply be good at wielding a sword," the old man muttered quietly and slowly raised his hand.
The wind blowing around intertwined with his hand.
It felt as if it was moving with a will of its own.
"That talent is about affinity with spirits, isn't it?"
"...It seems Balder said sothing unnecessary."
The old man mistook it for sothing Hanbit had heard from his disciple.
But Hanbit was soone who had experienced the importance of talent firsthand.
-Is that really a spirit?
-This is where it cos in.
-One point for the spirit innate talent theory.
If it were a disciple for ordinary swordsmanship, he would have been the first to reach out, so outstanding was his talent.
That is, if it were for ordinary swordsmanship.
"Go back. I have nothing to teach you."
The old man, resigned to his solitude, turned his back with a bitter voice.
And then, a ssage popped up along with an alarm.
Ding-!
[Quest completed.]
[Chain quest unlocked.]
[Hidden Quest]

First, you need to change his mind.

-Whoa.
-Holy shit, a hidden quest appeared.
-This is how it appears?
-What about the skill? Is that hidden?
-Still suspicious.
-The rewards are insane. lol
[ㅇㅇ (XX) has donated 10,000 won.]
[Is it really hidden?]
[ (Bug) has donated 20,000 won.]
[It's a bug.]
The chat exploded with the sudden appearance of the hidden quest.
"Whoa."
Yeonwoo's eyes widened in surprise as well.
'So this is how it appears.'
Even the ssage window for the hidden quest was different.
It was adorned with a luxurious golden border.
Hanbit re-examined the objective written in the quest description.
Prove your swordsmanship skills?
Persuade him with words?
Sohow beco close to a spirit?
Asla had no intention of teaching the skill.
This was a quest to find the best way to change his mind.
'No need to choose.'
Hanbit reached out and imdiately pressed number 3.
His action caused others to gasp.
"...Hey, did you just choose number 3?"
-He's finally gone crazy.
-Is he giving up the hidden skill?
-Do we have to camp here now?
-Even if we camp, it probably won't work. lol
-I believe in Black Dragon.
-Yeah, no way.
Amidst the questions and confusion,
Whoosh-
The blowing wind gently brushed his cheek.
'It's here.'
This was how a spirit expressed its curiosity.
This sensation, which he had felt countless tis, was incredibly familiar.
And he knew very well who this spirit was.
Rustle-
The whispering wind gradually grew stronger.
It had a very clear will.
A playful, child-like spirit.
Hanbit closed his eyes for a mont, then opened them again and muttered in a low voice, "Sylph."
Whoosh-
Sylph, the low-ranking wind spirit.
As he uttered its na, the wind raged fiercely.
And a ssage popped up along with an alarm.
[Title: A new effect of the 55 Tis Recorder is unlocked.]
'...! '
Hanbit reacted imdiately and quickly opened his title information.
[55 Tis Recorder]
The Recorder's accumulated experience is unlocked.
The proficiency of all experienced skills increases extrely quickly. The performance is adjusted upward depending on the degree of experience.
Spirit affinity is activated for all, and the effect on the spirit's power increases dramatically.
Unopened (Keyword: Item)
'I did it!'
Hanbit clenched his fist as he saw the contents.
When he first obtained the 55 Tis Recorder, the second item on the list was unopened.
The keyword written there was ‘spirit’.
Hanbit, who had been trying to obtain the Wind Sword skill early on, had anticipated this mont in his mind.
The mont he first connected with a spirit and called its na.
'Now the question is how it will be implented.'
Spirits don't approach humans easily.
Moreover, their affinity can't be asured nurically.
How are spirits implented in the ga system?
Is the way to communicate with them the sa as in his mories?
These questions kept swirling in his mind.
Whoosh-
The wind gently wrapped around Hanbit's hand.
At that mont, a new ssage popped up with an alarm.
Ding-!
[The wind spirit Sylph feels a strong curiosity towards you.]
-Did a spirit ssage just pop up?
-So all you had to do was call its na.
-If that's all it takes, no one would struggle.
-How did he really do it?
-Raphina crying.
-Advance party Elentalist
