She Professed Herself The Pupil Of The Wiseman

Chapter 407 - 221: The Center of Conflict (1)

「Hmm, what should I do about her…」

Back in the wagon, Mira looked at Anlutine who was still immobile in a corner. She seemed to be sound asleep, and still showed no signs of waking up. Her prolonged sleep was starting to worry Mira, but the Spirit King quickly put her worries to rest.

According to him, Anlutine had likely spent too much spiritual power to travel all the way there so quickly, and if she slept for a few days she would recover all of it and wake up full of energy.

So Mira decided to just let Anlutine sleep. For now, she took out a large bath towel and covered Anlutine with it, who grasped it and firmly pulled it towards her body.

Now Anlutine did not look too distinct from a regular sleeping person.

Seeing that everything was in order, Mira stepped out of the wagon again. Outside she focused to summon an Armor Spirit to serve as night guard.

After a bit two knights holding holy swords appeared from magic circles. They were the Ashen Knights Mira had built with Compound Skills and the Spirit King's Divine Protection.

Ashen Knights were the perfect summon for Mira to get more accustomed to using Compound Skills, while also improving her familiarity with the Spirit King's Divine Protection. That was also why the Ashen Knights had become Mira's choice whenever she needed a guard at night.

「Mhm, they're looking pretty good.」

Mira examined the two Ashen Knights, making sure they were complete. Even if Mira was already proficient with it, not much time had passed since she learned how to use Compound Skills, so it still took her some effort to use it, especially when it came to making sure they were built correctly.

She took some time to check for any defects, since Mira knew better than to overestimate herself with new Skills. After the visual inspection, Mira also began various tests to make sure they were not only good, but perfect.

(Hmm, the armor is nice and thick, but that made the parts I borrowed from the Dark Knights swell up. I'll have to modify those.)

Whenever she found something she did not like, she would amend that next time she summoned the Ashen Knights, slowly iterating on them until they were perfect. It was a tedious method but with good results.

「You'll be perfect soon enough. Let's keep striving to get better.」

Mira said that to the Ashen Knights before entering the spirit mansion. As soon as she was inside, the two Ashen Knights sprang into action to fulfill their orders, patrolling around the wagon and spirit mansion.

With the exception of Sanctia, Armor Spirits were said to have essentially no consciousness, but strangely enough, the Ashen Knights patrolling around the area seemed to have a leisurely gait to them.

Meanwhile Mira began preparations to take a bath, starting by pouring hot water into the tub. Then she placed a bottle into the chilling box, sat in the toilet, and planned her dinner while she waited for the bathtub to fill.

As soon as the bathtub was full, she stripped all of her clothes away and jumped into the water.

Tonight the bathroom's window showed the large walls around Haxthausen, and across it was a city filled with people, even if they were hidden by the walls now. There was only moonlight illuminating the walls, but somehow they still looked warm and inviting.

When she got out of the bath, she did not wander around wearing only panties like she usually did, but took the time to get properly dressed. One might think that she had finally started to gain common sense and feminine sensibilities, but that was not quite it. The only reason behind that change was her current location.

She was stationed not too far from Haxthausen's main entrance, so the spirit mansion would be easy to spot from the city.

And making people wonder why a building had suddenly appeared out there was part of Mira's plan to proselytize the power of summoners.

It would be a matter of time before someone decided to come investigate what that mysterious mansion was, and once they were close, Mira would step out with a bright smile and announce 'This is summoning.

Go and train, overcome difficulty, and pursue the life destined for you, and eventually you'll also gain this type of blessing!' Mira was aware that gaining a spirit mansion as summon was a difficult task for most, so she would make sure to stress it would take many hardships in her speech.

At the very least she wanted to tell them it was a possibility for summoners though. That was Mira's goal.

Once Mira was clothed and ready for whenever a visitor came, she began eating dinner. Tonight's menu was a freshly cooked rice bowl with beef and vegetables.

Though anything she kept in her Item Box was freshly cooked. Once again appreciating that fact, Mira began eating her warm meal.

Once she was done, she began avidly reading Soul Howl's re

「What…in the heavens..?」

The scene unfolding in front of Mira was completely different from her expectation. She had thought she would find herself in the center of a curious crowd of people who wanted to know what the spirit mansion was. But what she saw was a large number of armed soldiers and adventurers, all of whom were on high alert and prepared for battle.
