ACIEL'S DIARY : INDIGO
SHEET 3.7: HUFLU SEARCH

There were quite a number of Spirits that we encountered during the quest, each Spirit itself belonged to a low and medium level, I still haven't seen any high level Spirits so far.

Looking at the popularity that Huflu had, I at least thought that there would be some high-level Spirits going into this quest game to obtain that beehive. Or are they satisfied because each of them got his beehive?

No, it's impossible. I have to be patient and wait, they will definitely appear somehow later. Beida also said that there were some Gods subordinate Spirits representing his master to follow this quest and obtain it.

"Baida, by the way, in the previous nine searches, who got the beehive?"

"Oh, for the ninth location search I still haven't heard the information but for the previous eight locations ... True as well, there are two high-level Spirits who got it so far."

"Hooh ... Who're they?"

Beida raised her head on the tree branches above, brought one of her hands closer to her mouth which periodically froze and the antennae stopped moving.

His two right hands were raised.

"Those winning the previous eight locations were Mr. Hjorn with six wins and Mr. Vips with two other wins. The two competed fiercely enough to obtain the Huflu honey and were unwilling to budge until the end."

"...."

Although it was only a little, I was able to notice some changes to Master's expression upon hearing the two names that this grasshopper mentioned.

His tail also stopped swinging for a moment, with his ears slightly closing. I pretended not to realize that and continued.

"Hjorn and Vips? They include high-level Spirits, right? What do they look like?"

"Ah, yes. Both of them did include high-level Spirits. For Mr. Hjorn himself, he had the appearance of a honey bear with snow-white fur, then four arms and scars all over his body, then add three horns to his head with one broken front horn."

Beida stopped her sentence for a moment to think of something. He immediately resumed it.

"As far as I know, Mr. Hjorn has been following this quest for more or less five hundred years, where this search was first conducted as a form of celebration for the God who ruled the northern forest land that is now destroyed."

I don't know why but Beida coughed awkwardly and continued.

"Because of its popularity, this search has been conducted until now and at every turn, at least Mr. Hjorn always gets five Huflu at each session which is only held every few decades. From the beginning he did have a sharp nose to look for something sweet so this was quite beneficial."

"God ... At least he'll get five honeys in each session, huh? What about the other spirit named Yips?"

"Mr Aciel, his name is Vips. You can call him Mr. Vips."

"Is that so? Vips, huh? I remember it well. So, what about her?"

Beida sighed softly and resumed her story.

"For Mr. Vips himself, he has a form like a Pyton snake with brown scales that have a reddish pattern. He has pretty dangerous eyes, plus it can melt anything that hits him.

The eyes dangerous? But if anything that melts sounds more dangerous to me, I have to be careful that we don't cross paths and end up in a fight.

"Despite that, it seems that Mr. Vips himself quite rarely uses those two abilities, no one knows the reason why he did it.

That's why there's so little information that can explain his ability. Plus, Mr. Vips himself doesn't really like the crowd."

"Don't like the crowd? Then why is he following this search show? No matter how you look at it, there are so many Spirits involved in it and it makes everything look festive."

I pointed to the little Spirit passing by on the bushes and trees. This forest was indeed very crowded with spirits at the moment. Hm? This reminds me of the question I gave Beida earlier, though,

How did these Spirits know the information about Huflu? Do they also have the same reason as Beida, which is to make her best friend infiltrate and provide information?

"Reason, huh? According to rumors, the real reason why Mr. Vips has been following the search event for the past hundred years is to disrupt Mr. Hjorn's victory. Something happened between the two and made Mr. Vips put a great anger on Mr. Hjorn."

Something happen? Dispute, huh?

"Originally Mr. Vips decided to spread information about ten locations every search Huflu held only but when he knew if it did not interfere with the victory obtained Mr. Hjorn, he did not, he decided to intervene by himself and disturb him."

Oh so the one who spread that information to these little Spirits is the snake, huh? It seemed like the bear did a big thing that ignited his anger until the snake retaliated so far.

Even so, this time the bear got six Huflu and the snake got two Huflu in the last eight searches. For location nine I still don't know but maybe the snake got it, then six and three, huh?

The snake still lost after everything he had done, it must have been the second cause for him to follow this quest so many times that he defeated the bear and was satisfied.

Ah, troublesome.

"We'll just stop talking about this. I started to get dizzy after hearing it. Then how is this? Are we just going around the woods? I don't think there will be any progress if we do it at this speed. We'll just get left behind and let the bear or snake get it again."

"Right, I plan to start my search for the caves and lakes nearby but they're still a little far away. Maybe we can speed it up if we fly, how about that?"

"I don't mind anyway, we can use that. Master, how?"

"No problem, I can do it ... Hm?"

But just then, a shadow instantly covered the place where we were standing.

At first I thought it was just a passing cloud covering the sun but no, from the distracted attention of Master and Beida who had fallen down with her trembling body.

I can feel it clearly. This extremely powerful presence aura, it must have come from a high-level Spirit above us.

I flipped my body, raised my head and looked up.

"Huh?"

For a moment it looked like a mountain but it was not, with its white color along with many scratches in some parts. Three conspicuous cones at the top, with one shorter than the other two.

His four hands moved, with his two upper hands folding and his two lower hands scratching his stomach.

The creature looked towards us ... No, more precisely in the direction of one of us. His mouth filled with open fangs, let out a puff of smoke daei greeting and the corner slightly rose.

The creature seemed to be smiling. He also brought his white head closer to the plain where we were standing, creating a slow wind wave created by the small movements of his enormous body.

Twenty ... No, maybe close to thirty meters. It does resemble a bear, as Beida said before.

Hjorn, belonging to the high spirits.

Perhaps this is his third form, Master also has a third form, only he has never used it in front of me. It made me a little bit unfamiliar when I saw this size.

Just as we were silent while looking at it, the bear spirit finally raised its voice. It was a low voice, but it sounded very loud.

"I sensed a strange presence and decided to come over to check it out but what is this? There's something unexpected here."

The bear narrowed its eyes, the corner on its mouth rising higher and higher.

"During the meeting, Leore. How many centuries have passed since we last looked like this? You're getting very small now but unfortunately I won't recognize you wrong."
