Once Again Into the Light, Alone - Chapter 18

3. – – – If it’s not enough, work with a higher Elemental Elve.

‘If you’re going to summon an elves, put your hand on it and memorize the following words.’

“……spirits who make up the earth, the sky, the wind, the fire and the water. Come to me and be my strength.”

I closed my eyes.

I memorized the spell with an earnest heart.

When I opened my eyes again, I felt that something was definitely slipping out of my body.

And the intangible energy that escaped seemed to stay in the air, and soon gathered toward a point.

I felt a little strange, but I didn’t think it was that hard.

Not long after, a spirit was summoned from that point.

I blinked.

The little elve, who seemed to be looking around for a moment, soon smiled at me.

— Oh, I’m summoned!

The little elve had platinum blonde hair, and golden eyes.

I cried out in surprise.

“Lu, aren’t you Lu?”

— Yes, that’s right!

That little elve was the elve of light that I had been with since I was very young. I was moved by the fact that the elve came out of the summoning circle.

— Are you going to sign a contract with me?

Lu flew in and twirled around me.

In the midst of joy and bewilderment, I replied,

‘Yes.’

Then the little elve closed his eyes and kissed me on the forehead.

The feeling of the little elve touching my body was amazing.

It felt as if a light feather had fallen, and at the same time it was warm.

When the little elve who had closed her eyes opened her eyes, the elve who had been translucent had clearly changed.

“Lu, did you change your body?”

“Yes, master. If you sign a contract, the spirits will have the substance of staying in this world.”

Is it because of the feeling? The elve summoned by my will seemed much calmer and smarter than the usual mischievous appearance.

’…… elve contracts, was it this easy?’

I was at a loss for words.

As if she had read my mind, Lu explained to me with a big smile.

“Making a contract with the elves is not so easy! However, my master’s mana was far superior to others, so she is able to summon me at once.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“Yes! You don’t know how happy I am to be summoned by my master!”

I looked at the elve with my bare eyes.

The elve didn’t just change it’s body.

The voice that had always been ringing directly in my head was now clearly audible in my ears.

In addition, it was the first time that I had such a long conversation with an elve.

Is this what it’s supposed to be like when you sign a contract?

I decided to ask in person.

“But if you were able to speak so well, why didn’t you speak before?”

The elve answered me in a twirling mood in the air.

“Elve’s we’re not originally summoned, especially if the lower elves are in their natural state, they have very little to say as ego. However, after master summons me, our soul is connected and my body is created!”

[ T/n : i’m not sure abt this ]

“I see…… ”

“Once again, I’m Lu, the lower elve of light. Call me Lu from now on, Master!”

Lu said hello in a cute way, slightly lifting the hem of her white dress.

It was as cute as a fairy that people would often imagine.

I nodded my head.

“Yes, Lu, I’m Aisha, Aisha de Elmir. You knew my name, didn’t you?”

Lu sat wide in my hand, answered with a broad smile.

“Of course! I’ve been watching you since you were born. Besides, you are so famous! Previously, even the elve king……”

“Huh?”

I blinked my eyes.

“I’m famous? What are you talking about, elve king?”

“Oh, well, that’s…..”

It’s my first time hearing that there are famous among the elves. Besides, that’s me?

Lu rolled her eyes.

Apparently, she looked embarrassed.

“You, You are famous because you are the only one in the world…. who can see the elves who have not signed a contract.”

“What?!”

I was surprised and screamed without realizing it.

Now that the elves are almost rare, I have a vague idea that my talents are special, but…

‘I’m the only one in the world who can see the elves….’

I could feel goose bumps coming up my back.

I might have had a much greater ability than I thought.

Although I have only summoned lower spirits now, won’t I be able to summon higher spirits someday?

I became excited and asked Lu a lot of questions.

“What are the names of elves higher than you? And how do I summon it?”

Lu must have felt that the conversation was going to be long, so she flew over to the desk and sat down.

“First of all, the way to summon all the elves is the same. Any elve can be summoned as long as the summoner, the owner’s mana and affinity are met. Unless the spirit refuses. But now, master is…”

“What about me?”

I turned my head in a hurry.

At the same time, I was finally able to infer the word that was written in the history of the elves.

What was needed was the summoner, mana and affinity.

Lu answered me step by step.

“Master lacks mana. It might be because you’re still young, but you’re not good enough compared to your affinity.”

“Lack of mana? What kind of phenomenon is that?”

I asked a passionate question. Lu explained in more detail.

“If affinity is a vessel for magical power, then magic is the water that pools in it. The larger the water and the larger the bowl, the higher the elves can be summoned.”

Water and a bowl. I nodded my head.

“By the way, you have the best affinity with the Elve of Light. That’s why I came out of the lower ranks. When you first summon someone, the one with the best elve is summoned.”

“Okay, I see.”

I leaned long on the chair because I was confused by the new information.

Lu looked at me and continued to talk.

“The intermediate elve is Limie. The superior elve is Ludion. The best elve is Loni Ahn. And the Elve King has the name Luminas.”

“….. wait, Luminas?”

However, I had no choice but to re-rise my body in the following explanation.

“…… Isn’t Luminas the name of the God of Light?”

That’s how I’ve been taught so far.

Luminas, the first most revered god here in Elmir, the god of light.

As the world’s first god, he was the one who created day and night.

The Empire saw him as the beginning of time and worshipped him.

This spring’s festival alone is not about praying for the God Light in hopes that the beginning of the year will go well.

But why does his name match that of the Elve King?

No way, that is by no means a coincidence.

“Oh, that’s what you call it these days, isn’t it?”

Lu continued nonchalantly.

At the meaning of those words, I was astonished.

“Well, then you mean it wasn’t in the old days?”

Lu nodded at my words.

“Yes. Do you want me to tell you an old story?”

Soon she began to talk as if she were a minstrel.

“A long time ago, when the world was still in chaos. Luminas create day and night.”

“…..”

“Such a great man. He was once called the God of Light, once the ruler of the day, once the enemy of the night, and now the god of light.”

Lu’s voice contained the rhythm as if singing.

“Humans bow down to his power and admire him, but every time the times change, what they say has changed. But his body is a spirit. He is our noble and noble king.”

I’ve never been more surprised.

“Well, what about Selena, the god of revenge and the moon? Are all gods actually spirits?”

“No, not all gods are spirits. It means that spirits and gods are only taking care of humans in different positions.”

In saying so, Lu added that spirits are easier to intervene in human lives than gods.

“Of course, the gods gather believers to build a temple and construct the world according to their will.”

It was richer information than any book I’ve ever read.

Luminas, who has believed so far that he’s a god, was actually a spirit, not a god.

“I’ll try to make a contract with the spirit.’

That’s what I thought.

I’m 7 years old. If I had signed a contract with a lower-level elve, it would have been a perfect success.

“Luminas is famous for being the most handsome among the creations created by God. Oh, Luminas is the one who stands above all the gods. Luminas looks like a human being, but he is incomparably beautiful.”

“The most beautiful?”

“Yes, he has bright white blonde hair and beautiful gold eyes that seem to linger.”

I stuck my tongue out.

After observing the elves so far, the concept of humans and elve was similar.

In addition to the praises of Lu, he is famous for being the most beautiful among creations created by the god of gods.

I was a little curious about how good-looking he was.

’…. But platinum and gold eyes?’

Suddenly I felt a little strange.

A strange sense of visibility….. It was because I had seen such a person before.

But I lightly ignored the feeling.

‘That can’t be.’

No matter how much I could see th e elves, I had never met the Elve King.

‘But…. I wonder what Lu means about the Elve King……’

I asked Lu about him.

However, Lu only shook her head as she said she had made a slip of the tongue.

No matter how hard I tried, I didn’t think I’d give up.

Besides, I have one more question now.

I opened my mouth, trying to suppress my pounding heart.

“Lu, by any chance….”

How I wish this is possible.

“…. Can I summon the Elve King, by any chance?”
