In his current body, Emanâs age was not too far from the two companions. Their gap was only two years. So if you look at it from a bystanderâs perspective, they just looked like a group of friends who enjoy going for a walk together.
While they were walking, heading to the Elderâs domain, Azure and Amber mentioned a strange creature that popping out from time to time in different parts of the forest.
âIsnât that just a new creation by the Elder Dark Priest?â Eman asked them.
âNo, my lord. We have also asked the Elder about this and he said that his creations donât wander until he orders them to,â answered Azure.
Eman fell silent and pondered. Later, he thought to ask what was on his mind.
âAre they attacking you? Or has anyone in the village been attacked by it?â
The two shook their heads at his question. âNo, my lord. We have not heard of anyone being attacked by it.â
.....
Eman felt relieved hearing that. âHm, thatâs good. Um, how about their appearance? Did they resemble something?â
âUh...â Amber could be seen thinking deeply. She seemed to struggle to describe it or how to describe what they saw.
âIt has an oversized round head and tiny limbs. But I donât think itâs human because its whole figure is only the size of a human head and it floats in the air,â said Azure.
Hmm...
What kind of entity is that? Eman couldnât help but ask while mulling. Isnât that a ghost? He guessed.
âWhat do you think it is, System?â Eman had to ask his trusted source of information.
âWood spirit?â Those words came out of his mouth so the two companions heard them.
âSpirits?â Amber also whispered.
âUh, nothing. I just think it is like that,â Eman said.
âAs expected, My lord is very knowledgeable in all things,â Azure said.
â.....â
Eman just fell silent and didnât bother correcting him because he heard the Systemâs answer.
