Spirits and Spirit Sorcerers

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

When Fang Li came out of the mansion and into the courtyard, the melodious chirping of birds reached Fang Li ears.

In this world, the morning air is incredibly fresh.

At least, this is probably the place with the freshest air that Fang Li has ever been to.

"As expected of Other World magic is prevalent."

With these thoughts in mind, Fang Li took a deep breath of fresh air and then began to stroll in the courtyard.

Originally, Fang Li wanted to follow his usual habit and find a place to do some morning exercise.

However, after walking for a short while, Fang Li saw a small pavilion.

A small stream flows alongside the pavilion, creating a very beautiful scene.

And amidst this beautiful scenery, there exists Goddess.

"Zheng..."

Firefly-like specks of light, like dense starlight, lingered in the small pavilion.

Right in the middle of those dense points of light, the silver-haired Half-Elf girl stood there, seemingly conversing with those points of light, saying something to them.

It must be said that this scene was incredibly beautiful.

Fang Li stopped and looked at the pavilion, a knowing smile on his face.

Just then, a gray kitten suddenly popped out from behind Fang Li and landed on his shoulder.

"Hey, Fang Li."

Parker greeted Fang Li warmly.

Did you sleep well last night?

Upon hearing this, Fang Li was not surprised by Parker's sudden appearance, as if he had already sensed it, and spoke to Parker without turning his head.

"Well, I'd really like to sleep a little longer if I could. I read all night last night and I'm a bit sleepy now, unlike you, Parker, who goes to bed early and gets up early, so you definitely don't have any sleep problems."

Puck is an elf who has made a contract with Emilia.

Moreover, simply existing consumes a large amount of magic power.

Therefore, Puck's activity time is usually fixed between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. After 5:00 PM, he will reside in the Crystal Stone that Emilia carries with her to accumulate magic power, and will not reappear until 9:00 AM the next day.

Parker disappeared last night before leaving the Thieves' Den for this reason, and has only reappeared now.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Parker sat on Fang Li's shoulder, yawning as he said, "That's what it's like to be a Spirit Master."

The so-called elf wielders, or Spirit Sorcerer, may seem similar to magicians, but they are fundamentally different in many ways.

One point is that magicians use magic, while elves use Spirit Arts.

The principles of Spirit Arts and regular magic are the same, and their effects are almost identical.

The difference is that magicians usually use the magic power within their bodies to release magic, while elves use the magic power in the atmosphere to release magic.

Therefore, although the principles of Spirit Arts are the same as those of magic, and are generally referred to as magic, the process of casting them is very different, and the methods of judging their quality are also completely different.

For example, a magician's qualities are limited by the size and number of doors he possesses; the greater the number and scale of these doors, the more outstanding a magician's talent and qualities will be.

However, spirit users do not have such restrictions.

After all, elves do not need to use the magic stored in the gates within their bodies, but rather use magic from the outside world.

Therefore, the quality of a spirit is not determined by the size and number of the gates within its body, but by the power of the spirit with which it has a contract.

If the power of a mage's magic is determined by the quality of the gate within their body, then the strength of an elf's spells is determined by the power of the elf with whom they have a pact.

If one makes a contract with a powerful elf, the elf's spells will be more powerful, and the level of magic power that can be used will be greater.

However, very few people are able to form a contract with an elf.

Whether or not one can become a spirit user depends on how much affinity one has with spirits.

People with this quality are often very few.

Furthermore, powerful elves are even rarer, so it's really hard to say whether elf users or magicians are stronger or weaker.

"But you're different, aren't you?"

Fang Li poked Parker's cheek on his shoulder with his finger and said this.

"After all, the power of an elf like you is already quite strong."

Without a doubt, Puck is an extremely powerful elf.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at Puck's current form is enough to tell that he is definitely not an ordinary elf.

In this world, besides elves like Puck who have physical forms, there are also some elves who have not yet formed physical forms and whose self-awareness is still quite immature.

These sprites are generally referred to as Mite Spirit.

The firefly-like specks of light hovering around Emilia are Mite Spirit.

Generally speaking, the higher a person's affinity for spirits, the more and stronger spirits they can form contracts with.

Therefore, in addition to forming a contract with Puck, Emilia also formed contracts with all the Mite Spirit.

This demonstrates Emilia's qualities.

Because, at most, a typical spirit user can only form a contract with Mite Spirit, and even then, the number is limited.

Judging from the Matoba where Emilia was surrounded by dense points of light, it's clear just how many Mite Spirit Emilia has formed contracts with.

Moreover, Emilia has also formed a contract with Puck, an elf who has already taken on a physical form.

In this respect alone, Emilia's qualities and strength as an elf user surpass most of her peers.

Furthermore, there are spirits who can assist the spirit user. Facing one spirit user often means facing a situation where one has to fight multiple opponents, which is very troublesome.

However, the more powerful the elf, the more magical energy it consumes to exist.

In other words, the chances of a spirit user winning generally depend on how long the spirit with whom they have a contract can exist.

This is the limitation of the Spirit Master.

"The stronger the contracted spirit, the stronger the spirit master's power. That's what a spirit master is." Puck said with a soft voice and a smile, "If spirits like me could exist forever, it would be too unfair to magicians."

"Elf users can become stronger by forming contracts with powerful elves, and magicians can also improve their strength through their own talents. Both have their own conditions, so it's not unfair." Fang Li turned his gaze to Parker and said this with a smile.

"Of course, if you can reveal your true form and use your true power, then that's a different story."

"Hehe..." Parker stopped yawning and looked at Fang Li as well.

"You really do know a lot."
