Transmigrated as a Ghost

Chapter 370 - 370 Miscalculation

Looking at Gwyneira, Salvia let out a long sigh before saying, "Yeah that was the plan, but we made a mistake. We did not think of the waste that the natural tressures would put out into the soil. Normally this waste would be absorbed into the ground and dissipate over a wide area, but in the atrium it has nowhere to go, and eventually would have corroded the formations if I did nothing. So, I have been bringing it all to my tree and using my spiritual energy to purify it, but after a few decades it started to take more than I recovered naturally to keep up with it all."

"I see so you have been working hard by yourself, without anyone knowing. I am sorry you had to deal with that burden Salvia." Gwyneira said while giving Salvia a comforting hug.

"Still why did you not just ask for help earlier." Marcus said wondering why Salvia had not reach out to someone as soon as she figured out there was a problem.

"Well, I uh, thought it would be fine at first, but by the time I realized I would not be able to handle it, if I left to go and find help the built-up waste would have damaged the formations Juniper worked so hard to make. It was all I could do just to make sure that everything did not fall apart." Salvia said with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

However, as Marcus was about to ask another question, Mrazivý with a frustrated tone, said, "Would you put something on."

Looking down at herself, Salvia realized she was completely naked as she had not taken a humanoid form for decades and forgot to make clothes.

"Oh sorry, I forgot that humans become embarrassed so easily." 

Salvia then waved her hand and vines began growing around her before forming into dress that covered up her body.

With Salvia now fully clothed, Mrazivý calmed down a bit though she was still pretty upset about being hit through a wall.

"Now I have to ask. How were you able to get in contact with me?" Marcus said wondering what ability Salvia had used and why it only worked on him.

Yet in return Salvia cooked her head to the side and looked confused before saying, "I just created a thread of spiritual energy to reach out and connect to you. Though now that I think about it, you did completely ignore me the first time."

With a grumpy expression Salvia was obviously upset remembering how she thought Marcus had ignored her plight the first time he had come to the atrium.

But at that time, he had still not figured out how to utilize his own spiritual energy, so he had been unable to hear the connection that Salvia had tried to make.

Marcus then explained this to Salvia, telling her that he was a being from another world like Boreas and that he had not always been a spirit, and only recently got ahold of his full powers.

"So, that is what happened. And here I thought you were just being rude. Sorry. Salvia said bowing her head a bit.

"But to think that you would be a spirit of light and darkness. I did not know that was even possible, but your light energy is really pure, so now that we have come to an understanding would you mind giving me some more." Salvia said shamelessly as she started approaching Marcus.

Luckily before she got far Gwyneira grabbed her and said, "Salvia, you have already caused enough trouble, and can you not see that Marcus has given all he has already. If you need more spiritual energy, you can have some of mine.

However, at this proposition, Salvia shook her head rapidly and said, "That will not work. I need the spiritual energy of either a light or another nature spirit to purify the harmful by products coming from the natural treasures."

After saying that Salvia looked back towards Marcus and batted her eyes and said, "If you are out of energy today, I should be fine until tomorrow. I already used the energy you gave me to purify and release most of the built-up waste, so things will be stable for now. I suppose if you dropped by ever three months or so to give me a recharge, I should be able to get by."

'Yeah, that is not going to happen.' Marcus thought.

He already had more than enough responsibilities to deal with and having to always make sure he was nearby would be a pain.

Also, he could tell that Mrazivý was not thrilled about the idea as her impression of Salvia was currently pretty bad, and Marcus could not blame her.

"Sorry I cannot be your battery for the rest of eternity. Is there not some way that we could fix the formations or some other way to help you out." 

Unfortunately, Marcus did not receive a positive response as Salvia said, "I do not know how to fix it. Maybe if Juniper were still here, she could figure it out, but I am not good with stuff like magic formations. And I guess if you can find a different light or nature spirit, they could supply me with the excess energy I need."

'Great. I cannot bring the dead back to life, and I do not know any other light or nature spirits.' Marcus thought as the situation seemed to be helpless.

Yet, Gwyneira quickly came to the rescue and said, "It is a bit of a long shot, but there might be a way to find a permeant solution. Though Marcus you will probably be the one who needs to go, since otherwise the chances of it working will diminish greatly."

Hearing this Marcus turned his head expectantly towards Gwyneira, wondering what she had in mind.

"Around three thousand miles from here is a very large tree that reaches all the way up into the sky. There you will find the Great Spirit of Nature Forlorieous, and if anyone can help, he can. Though I should also tell you that he is located deep within the kingdom of Tralenstein to the south of us, and around him is a community of gnomes that are their own independent society much like the ice elves within our kingdom."

Listening to Gwyneria's solution Marcus certainly thought that the great spirit of nature was definitely the most likely being to be able to resolve this issue, but he also wondered why he needed to be the one to go.

"If you know where he is why do you not just go yourself." Marcus asked inquisitively.

"There are a couple reasons. First, I cannot leave the kingdom unprotected, since there are plenty of forces that stay away simply because I am here. And while I know of Forlorieous, I have never actually met him, and I hear he is a bigger sleeper than even I am. If I went there is a good chance I would be ignored, but I doubt he would ignore you, another great spirit." Gwyneira said giving out some convincing points.

Letting out another sigh Marcus said, "I guess a one-time trip beats having to come back every few months to be Salvia's battery. And I cannot say I am not curious to meet another great spirit.. Fine I will go and see Forlorieous."
