Capac spread his hands and pointed at Nefernis as he explained. After hearing Capac's words, Nefernis's face darkened. After a pause, she smiled and pointed at Hunxu and spoke.
"Mr. Hunxu, I was just a little offended just now. I, I don't know much about the traditions in your place, so I was a little offended just now. But now I know I was wrong, please be generous and forgive me."
Bending down slightly, Nephnis looked at the mountain cat spirit in front of her and apologized sincerely, but the other party didn't seem to buy Nephnis's apology. It turned its head slightly and ignored Nephnis.
“Ah… this…”
Seeing the reaction of the soul in front of her, Nephnis felt a little overwhelmed for a moment, then she turned her head and looked at Capac who was standing beside her and continued to speak.
"Mr. Capac, could you please translate what I just said and convey it to Lord Soulbeard, and tell him that I did not mean to offend him."
Nephnis said this to Capak, and the other party responded somewhat helplessly after hearing it.
"I'm afraid that this sentence is useless even if I translate it. In fact, even if you, Miss Thief, have not offended Lord Soulbeard, he probably won't pay any attention to you. Generally speaking, the spirits of the wilderness only come into contact with us shamans. Even if we want to ask the spirits of the wilderness to do something, we must prepare tribute as a bargaining chip.
"If Miss Thief wants to ask Lord Soulbeard for help, you must prepare the offerings for him first."
"Tribute? What tribute?"
Listening to Kapak's response, Nephnis said doubtfully, while Kapak continued to correct his response.
"Generally speaking, the tribute we give to the spirit of the wilderness is obtained during funerals, and there are traces of spiritual bones of 'Silence' left. If Miss Thief has something similar, it may be helpful to offer it to Lord Soulbeard."
Capac said this to Nefernis, and after hearing what Capac said, Nefernis only thought of one term in her mind, and that was spiritual storage.
"A bone fragment with the spirit of 'Silence'? Isn't this a kind of 'Silence' spirit storage? Miss Dorothy once said that all spirits can be sealed in objects with great effort, which is called a spiritual storage. This tribute bone fragment sounds like a spiritual storage!"
Nephnis thought so in her heart. After realizing that what the mountain cat spirit of the wilderness wanted might be the spiritual storage of Silence, she began to think about how to get it.
After thinking about it, just when Nephnis wanted to contact Dorothy on the spot to ask her if there was anyone there, she suddenly noticed the street scene in front of her and found that it seemed familiar.
'here it is……'
Following the guidance in her memory, Nephnis raised her head and looked to the side. She saw a tall building opposite the intersection.
Because it was New Year's Eve, many shops on the street had closed early, but the building in Nephnis's sight was still open for business, looking particularly conspicuous. Above the open door, a sign was lit up, with the word "Jinqi Bank" spelled out in black and white.
"This is bigger than the day...these guys haven't even had their day off yet."
Looking at the new bank across the street that was still open at night, Nephnis thought to herself that she had been to this place before. She had been here a few months ago when she helped Dorothy buy secret books, so she knew what the place was for.
"Mr. Capac, please wait here for a moment. I'll go buy something and be back in a while."
Nephnis said this to Capac, then turned and walked towards the bank in the distance, leaving Capac alone watching the scene in confusion.
"Buy something? What can I buy at this hour?"
Confused, Capac waited silently there. After waiting for about half an hour, he finally saw Nefernis walking back quickly from across the street.
"Miss Thief, what did you buy?"
Seeing Nefernis coming back, Capac asked directly, but Nefernis did not respond directly. Instead, after coming in front of Capac, she opened her hand and revealed what she held in her hand, which were three ordinary-looking iron coins.
The moment he saw the iron coin, Capac's originally lazy beard suddenly trembled, and he pounced on the iron coin with eyes wide open. Upon seeing this, Nephnis immediately retracted his hand, causing the soul beard to pounce on nothing.
Seeing the soul in front of him staring at his soul with empty eyes, Nephnis couldn't help but smile and said.
"Then... Lord Soulxu, now you should agree to help me."
Nefernis said this to Soulwhisker. Although Soulwhisker didn't quite understand what Nefernis was saying, it still understood what she meant. It stared at Nefernis's clenched fist and nodded repeatedly.
…
In the cold night in East Tivian, in a deserted park flowerbed, Nephnesse and Capac were standing there. Nephnesse was using branches to draw complicated magic circles on the mud, while Capac was watching everything with curiosity.
"Ms. Thief, is this the magic circle needed for the ritual you mentioned? It's somewhat similar to the magic circle my teacher often uses."
Looking at the magic circle drawn by Nefernis in front of him, which included the closed eyes, Capac couldn't help but comment, and Nefernis responded while drawing.
"Really? Maybe it's because your teacher and I are both extraordinary people on the path to Silence, so there are definitely some similarities in our magic circles."
"The path to Silence? It seems that besides Shamans... there are many different kinds of spirit masters on the main continent..."
Capac sighed and said, then he looked beside him and saw the mountain cat spirit on the ground licking three iron coins continuously with a look of enjoyment, and then he looked at Nefernis and said.
"But having said that, I didn't expect that Miss Thief could get such a good tribute for Lord Soulxu in such a short time. It's really convenient for the Beyonders on the Main Continent. This kind of thing can be easily exchanged for money..."
Capac sighed like this while Nefernis, who was drawing a magic circle, couldn't help but complain in her heart after hearing this.
"It's convenient, but it's also horribly expensive. I spent over 900 pounds on just these three things. Those guys said they were raising prices because they were opening extra hours. Other places are offering discounts on their products, but you're raising prices so much... No wonder Miss Dorothy always calls them profiteers..."
Gritting her teeth, Nephnis continued to draw the magic circle while silently feeling sorry for her wallet. If she hadn't been awarded a thousand pounds for participating in Dorothy's event a while ago, she would have no money to buy cat food for the cat.
Finally, Nephnis finished drawing the magic circle. Then she threw the branch in her hand aside, looked at the mountain cat spirit in front of her that was still licking the coin, and said.
"Lord Soulxu, I have presented my tribute. Now it is time to fulfill your promise."
Listening to Nefernis' words, Soulwhisker paused slightly, and then stopped licking. It looked at Nefernis in the magic circle, and after listening to Capak's translation, it slowly floated up and floated towards the magic circle drawn by Nefernis.
Now that Nefernis has finally found a suitable spirit body and her spirituality has been fully accumulated, she can finally begin the ceremony to be officially promoted to a Black Earth-level "Soul Master".
