My Magical System

Chapter 263: Important task

In his current body, Eman’s age was not too far from the two companions. Their gap was only two years. So if you look at it from a bystander’s perspective, they just looked like a group of friends who enjoy going for a walk together.

While they were walking, heading to the Elder’s domain, Azure and Amber mentioned a strange creature that popping out from time to time in different parts of the forest.

“Isn’t that just a new creation by the Elder Dark Priest?” Eman asked them.

“No, my lord. We have also asked the Elder about this and he said that his creations don’t wander until he orders them to,” answered Azure.

Eman fell silent and pondered. Later, he thought to ask what was on his mind.

“Are they attacking you? Or has anyone in the village been attacked by it?”

The two shook their heads at his question. “No, my lord. We have not heard of anyone being attacked by it.”

.....

Eman felt relieved hearing that. “Hm, that’s good. Um, how about their appearance? Did they resemble something?”

“Uh...” Amber could be seen thinking deeply. She seemed to struggle to describe it or how to describe what they saw.

“It has an oversized round head and tiny limbs. But I don’t think it’s human because its whole figure is only the size of a human head and it floats in the air,” said Azure.

Hmm...

What kind of entity is that? Eman couldn’t help but ask while mulling. Isn’t that a ghost? He guessed.

‘What do you think it is, System?’ Eman had to ask his trusted source of information.

“Wood spirit?” Those words came out of his mouth so the two companions heard them.

“Spirits?” Amber also whispered.

“Uh, nothing. I just think it is like that,” Eman said.

“As expected, My lord is very knowledgeable in all things,” Azure said.

“.....”

Eman just fell silent and didn’t bother correcting him because he heard the System’s answer.
