Chapter 600: “Luring The Spirits”
What Ainsley wanted…was only to borrow the soul healer ability.
But since the senior spirit wasn’t, Ainsley started to ask the other spirits as well.
[Awe ywou a soul healer?]
[Uh, I’m not..]
[Awe ywou– ]
[Sorry, I’m not. A soul healer is a super rare ability.]
[Awe ywou a soul– ]
[I think none of the spirits here is a soul healer. But there can be other spirits outside of the mausoleum with that ability.]
A rather powerful spirit in the hall kindly told Ainsley so that she wouldn’t waste her time asking all the spirits here.
This powerful spirit had been staying inside the mausoleum to enjoy the spiritual energy for a long time…maybe around a decade.
Thus, he knew a lot about the spirits visiting this mausoleum and those that got out after contracting a shaman.
At the elder’s words, Ainsley’s eyes dimmed. She was obviously disappointed that she couldn’t borrow the soul healer ability.
Still, the baby did her best to smile and thanked the spirit.
[Twank ywou, Gwandpa!]
Without waiting for the elderly spirit to react, Ainsley already went back to Zev and the Godfather’s place. She immediately reported her findings.
[Ah…so there’s no soul healer here.] Zev let out a long sigh while patting his butt. [Well, as expected. That ability is super rare. It’s not easy to find a spirit with that ability.]
Zev tried his best to console Ainsley with his words.
After all, since they couldn’t check what’s going on inside Ainsley’s soul or clear her soul from the strange bullets, they could only push aside the matter for now.
[Don’t worry, the bullets will not endanger your life. And once they suddenly become active, I’ll remind you…]
Zev circled Ainsley’s head before sitting on the Godfather’s thigh once more.
Ainsley nodded with a bitter smile on her face.
‘I get nothing from asking the spirits, but at least I know how important this mausoleum is for the spirits and shamans…’
And that made Ainsley realise one thing.
Since the mausoleum was important, many families would try to snatch it from her hand in the future.
She could guard it well now, but there’s no guarantee that she could do that forever.
What if she suddenly lost the mausoleum to another family? Her people’s death would be in vain!
Since the way to acquire the mausoleum was only by planting their flag inside the hall, it was also easy to lose the mausoleum that way…
Ainsley couldn’t help but tell Zev about this trouble.
After all, she didn’t know when the Godfather would wake up, and that means she had to leave the Godfather at the mausoleum for a while.
Of course, she would also live here unless she had to go out and conquer other territories.
But she was still worried that when she left, another family would raid the mausoleum and the exorcists sneakily mixed among the enemy troops…
What if they attacked the Godfather once more and killed him?
Ainsley was truly worried about this.
[How is it, Zev? Is there a way to prevent the other families from taking this mausoleum? If it’s impossible, at least help me think of a way to protect the Godfather…]
Whenever Ainsley recalled the Godfather’s injuries, her heart ached so much that she felt like dying.
The Godfather is already like her own father. A father, a teacher, and so on.
She didn’t want to lose him right in front of her eyes!
But Zev could only furrow his eyebrows at Ainsley’s concern.
[Well, as long as many spirits still reside here, many shamans will visit this place and other families will constantly aim for this mausoleum…]
But there’s no way they could chase out all the spirits, okay?
Their family also needed these spirits to nurture shamans and to be Ainsley’s emergency ability stock, ah!
[We can’t release the spirit barrier and set the spirits free..]
Zev muttered in a weak voice.
He was just talking to himself, but when Ainsley heard his words, she was stunned.
The baby gaped for a few seconds before her eyes suddenly lit up.
[That’s it!] The baby abruptly stood up and looked down at Zev, who was close to having a heart attack from Ainsley’s sudden movement.
[W-what, what? What that’s it– ]
[That’s it, Zev!] Ainsley repeated her words as she tugged the corner of her lips and grinned widely.
She instantly looked so pleased with herself that she’s practically about to fly to heaven.
[You said that other families will continue to aim for the mausoleum as long as the spirits are trapped here…]
[Right, and?]
[Then…] Ainsley licked her lips and smiled slyly. [Why don’t we just let them go?]
Zev seemed to have a brain shock for a moment. He froze, not moving at all, only staring at Ainsley with his mouth wide open.
….what??
The toddler instantly blew up.
[WHAAAAT?? Are you insane?! Once the spirits leave this place, this place will be useless except for the abundant spiritual energy, ah!]
Zev pointed his fat finger at Ainsley, trembling.
[Y-you! You will make all your people’s effort and sacrifice to end up in vain!]
Zev was already close to slapping Ainsley’s face to make her wake up from her rash idea, but Ainsley only looked at Zev with a calm gaze.
[Hush, listen to me first. I did say to release the spirits…but that didn’t mean I want them to go and never come back, okay?]
This time, Zev opened his mouth and looked at Ainsley in confusion.
What the…what do you mean, ah??
As if understanding Zev’s silent question, Ainsley patted her chest and laughed.
[What if we can continue to lure the spirits without trapping them?]
