I Will Be The New Me
CHAPTRE 47

{Quinn, are you sorry to see us?}

Quinn who had been tired of looking back and forth in the vast forest behind the palace so the focus was entirely on the Vynx. "Hm? whatchu mean?" her question does not understand.

{If you don't see us, you can live quietly and avoid the same ending without being hunted by that annoying Prince}

Quinn smiled gently in response to Vynx's sympathy "I have no regrets. In fact, I was like living a new life puzzle by being like this. That's more exciting."

{Now you have two enemies who will be after your life. But I don't have great strength to be able to protect you}

"Don't grieve. We can practice together."

Honestly, Quinn was scared because she had never been in the forest before. Although it was daytime, but the quiet forest far from the residential area made his heart pound.

Until finally, Quinn could see a large shady tree with a large trunk and roots growing near the end of the cliff.

"It's so big." Quinn muttered in amazement.

{Do not approach!}

The black-blinded beautiful girl gasped in shock. Suddenly an invisible wall appeared in front of him so that he could not advance any further. "What's going on? impenetrable," Quinn murmured touching the air before him.

A spirit appeared behind the trunk of the huge tree with a scared face. He looked wary of seeing Quinn's form.

{S-s-who are you?!}

Vynx appeared in front of Quinn's face, she purposely stood there so that the elk tree spirit would not be frightened after seeing her.

{Hai, it's me, Vynx!}

The long-haired spirit bought.

{Vynx?! why are you here?}

The spirit this time was green, from the light, clothes, hair, and eyes, all green. She was beautiful like a fairy that was always depicted in fairy tales. Quinn smiled cheerfully, and she waved at little "Hi, my name is Quinn. Greetings. You remember me, don't you? the one that night was attacked by the palace knights."

{A-I don't accept guests!}

Quinn looked down miserably, "Is that so? a pity. What should I do about these flowers? too much, if you want to throw it away for nothing."

The female spirit who had been throwing her face away, now took a curious glance to see what flowers she meant. Quinn smiled faintly when she saw that saliva was already dripping profusely from her mouth. Black orchids, black roses, and black Lily are her favorite flowers, Vynx said.

"It turns out to be true" Quinn inner. The seventeen-year-old girl was moving flowers in her grasp and the spirit did not take her eyes off her. "Vynx, we better just go home before dark—"

{T-wait!}

Quinn looked at the spirit with a hearty look, "yes?" ask her.

{A-I will release her barrier. It is not good to waste fresh food. Give me}

The spirit raised its hand asking, but with an expensive sell-off expression. Many people call this kind of dishonest attitude with their own feelings 'Tsundere'.

The barrier actually disappeared, but he did not move an inch from the tree. As a result Quinn was the one who had to give up on it and give it to him directly.

The spirit sniffed the scent of those flower petals.

{you didn't lie by painting the petals, right?}

Asked the spirit of the elk tree to interrogate.

"No, kok. It's original. It's very difficult to look for it and this is the best quality of flowers."

I spent a lot of money just to buy this food of yours, you know.

Quinn still smiled kindly even though the spirit's tone became more fierce and ketus. He looked very scared when he saw me, Quinn thought confused.

{Humph! yes already. You can sit under this tree, but don't touch my tree!}

"Thank you, um.. What's your name?"

{So, what's your purpose in coming here? I'm not a strong spirit so I don't have abilities like Vynx}

"Ahahaha, actually..." Quinn sat under the shady tree and instantly felt the energy flowing from within the ground, propagate through the roots of the tree and that makes the elk tree alive and more shady than other trees. "Where does he absorb spirit energy from?" ask her in your heart.

"Before that, I wanted to ask why you ran away? are you afraid of me who looks creepy?" quinn asked while pointing at himself.

{I-it, it's because I'm afraid to see blood. I live far away from humans, I have never seen such a sight. Chaotic energy, bloodshed, wounding each other. Are humans really brutal creatures? terrible}

"If I don't fight, I might die. The five of them first had the goal of killing" Quinn replied quietly.

{It, right. That Quinn was just being defensive, that's why I changed for her}

The spirit ate its first rose petals and was busy with its own world. Quinn felt almost asleep because the air felt so soothing. "You're good at managing energy, right? as much as you need to spend, how much energy to use, or control the stability of spirit energy even though you are using it in a desperate state."

The spirit was startled, he rounded his mouth in awe of Quinn's knowledge.

{Eh? you're smart, too, yeah. I haven't even said anything}

Quinn smiled broadly and said, "I really need your help. I quickly ran out of energy after using spirit power, sometimes I can even faint. Looks like you're gonna be my best teacher."

{Hm, you already have Vynx}

The water spirit was grimacing while scratching the back of its non-itchy head.

{I taught him nothing but to use me as a weapon. After all, I can't control energy like you because basically I only have one type of energy. You don't see what Quinn's energy is like? look, he's like Lord Zacchaeus.}

{Hey, don't just mention the name of a god like that! what if this human hears?!}

{What's really why? Quinn had long been able to meet and chat with our God}

{Eehhhh?! you're kidding me, right?!}

{Ah, but don't meet in person. God only met Quinn through his subconscious.}

"What are they arguing about?" quinn muttered in wonder. He was watching two creatures whose body size was only the size of an adult's ring finger.

The spirit waiting for the elk tree looked at Quinn who had approached the tree.

{H-hey, I warned you not to get close to my tree, you know!}

Quinn could feel something flowing through her body, she could even get a vision. Quinn's laughter drew curiosity from the two spirits who were engrossed in gossiping about Quinn.

{Quinn, what's up?}

Vynx frowned still clueless, while the elk tree spirit held its breath for quite a while as if he already knew what was coming next.

"Well, I won. You're now tied to me, Sky." Quinn grinned triumphantly. No need to bother persuading, Quinn already knew the name of the spirit of the forest.

Suddenly Quinn's body and the spirit known as Sky were both glowing for a minute. Afterwards Quinn felt fully able to rule Sky as he pleased. The eldest daughter of Savero and Sirena stared at her palm which still left sparks of light, "It seems, Zacchaeus helped me make a contract."

{Tidaaakkkk!}

Sky screamed in disbelief. If he's under contract, then he should be present whenever Quinn asks. Rejecting Quinn's request was tantamount to being punished as a dissident.

"Haha, please cooperate, Sky."

{You are indeed a damn carrier! huwaaa~ I don't want to contract with a crazy girl like you!}

Vynx laughed seeing Sky whining incessantly as if he had been hit by an accident and would be so forever.

Sky pursed his lips in annoyance hearing Quinn who had already ruled him like a boss.

{View once you are not educated about jungle}

"Yes, because I'm a noble who learns a lot about history, not traveling around the forest as a traveler."

{There are many poison healing plants. I need to know how dangerous the poison effect is and already how much it spreads in its host} body

Quinn glanced over while recalling Gray's remark to him. "Not too dangerous, but because he consumes it periodically. Now eighty percent of his body can no longer be moved."

Sky rubbed his chin while thinking.

{That means, the chances of him surviving are very few. Then only that plant can fight the poison in his veins. Wait—, why do I just obey? this must be the effect of the contract.}

Quinn tilted her head, "why are you mumbling to yourself? I'll ask you to show me the way immediately."

{I need time looking for it, because it's only one in this forest}

"Oh, it's really rare."

The situation became silent for a moment because Sky needed time to detect the place of growth of the rare flower.

{Have met. Westward near the lake. Let's go now.}

The forest terrain was a little steep, Quinn needed to be careful not to slip and fall to the edge of the gorge. The more it goes inside, the sunlight begins to be difficult to reach the ground because it is protected by tree branches that naturally become the umbrella of the forest. The atmosphere looks like evening.

"Is it far away?" quinn asked who felt her legs start to limp.

{It's arrived. You just need to get down.}

Sky pointed at that quite precipitous abyss. Quinn squinted in horror at the slack of his article in front of the ravine there is a lake. "I haven't seen the flower, is it really the place here?" quinn asked doubtfully.

{You're too long. Waste of time only.}

Wuuushh

Sky blew a strong wind through his mouth to make Quinn's light body shudder and eventually fell into the abyss.

Quinn landed safely, his feet were right on the brink of the ravine. His feet felt cold. His clothes became very dirty and some parts of his hands were scratched. "Basic spirit damn. If I didn't need it, I could have made it cat food" Quinn grumbled.

His eyes widened when he saw the beautiful arrangement of rare flower plants that he was looking for. "What a beauty, is this a natural flower? not an ornamental plant?" Quinn crouched down in front of the golden-petalled flower.

"Only one rod."

Her golden brown iris observed around, "it's too boring to be able to get this flower easily."

And as expected of the child of the God. A lion came out of the small cave in the ravine and roared loudly. "Is he the keeper?" Quinn stood up.

"Wynx."

That water spirit came to Quinn in the form of a spear. "I don't have the heart to hurt him, but if he's going to finish me off then I won't hesitate."

The lion growled furiously, its sharp fangs as if it was preparing to rip off fresh meat to eat.

Quinn put up his horses, "Majulah, I'll show you my abilities."

Quinn's words were greeted by a loud roar from the king of the forest. His voice echoed so strongly. The male lion immediately lunged at Quinn with its sharp claws and teeth. Fortunately Vynx was intelligent, he instantly adjusted the shape of what weapon was suitable to use against the enemy.

Quinn could keep a distance with the length of his spear. "She was just testing me" thought Quinn, because the guardian lion had not seriously attacked her.

{Hey, don't daydream in the middle of a fight, fool!}

Shouted Sky from above the ravine. He felt a tense follow-up because Quinn did not also injure the lion.

Quinn is getting enlightenment again. "You are a spirit? how did you change shape?" Quinn stared at the lion with eyes sparkling in astonishment.

The lion in the blink of an eye disappeared in a puff of smoke and appeared a spirit similar to Sky, greenish in the characteristic of the forest. He smiled cheerfully while waving with enthusiasm.

{Hai! how did you know so fast? though I never showed my spirit form to the inhabitants of this forest}

Quinn wiped away the sweat on her forehead, "i can feel your spirit energy. You're so great, what's your special skill?" asked the girl enthusiastically because within a day, she had the chance to make a contract with two forest spirits at once.

{I? I can manipulate my own form. I can turn into anything or someone I touch.}

Quinn's eyes were filled with awe, "can you show me? Touch me."

{Alright, well~}

That spirit touched Quinn's forehead. He closed his eyes after he finished adjusting Quinn's and Tadaa's body structure! the spirit of the forest can prove his words. Quinn felt like she was looking in the mirror. "Well, it turns out to be real.." he murmured softly, "how long can you maintain that form?" ask Quinn again.

{At most only half an hour. Actually I can do it longer, but after that I will not be able to change again for a full day.}

I managed to buy time, I already knew his name.

Quinn also reached out to invite the spirit to shake hands. "Greetings, Ash. Please help, yes. I'll count on you."

The spirit winked a few times quickly. A second later he saw his wide-ranging disbelief he had with Quinn de Alger's Shuvillian abilities.

{Eh? Ehhhhh?! how do you know my name?!}

Sky patted his eel while letting out a long breath.

{The girl cheated again.}

Quinn breathed a sigh of relief. Today was a big profit, even though his mood had deteriorated because of Savero, now everything has improved. The girl suddenly gasped for breath as if she had run a long distance.

{Quinn, you're exhausted. Are you okay?}

Vynx was worried to see Quinn's face begin to break out in cold sweat.

Just like Vynx, Ash doesn't seem to mind signing with Quinn. He immediately took the water from inside the golden flower petals and asked Quinn to down it in one gulp.

{That water can restore your energy quickly. He only grows two hundred years once, so don't doubt his magic.}

Quinn set her breath, she felt proud of herself who had the courage to choose a dangerous path. He was already getting stronger, considering his miserable past brought him shame. "When I could choose to be this strong a long time ago. Hahaha, that's sad."

"Vynx, Sky, Ash. Gather, I have something to tell you."

The three different spirit characters were gathered before the master with puzzled faces. "Thank you for making a contract with me. I have no intention of abusing your power to do bad—" Quinn often took the lives of others, slandering, trapping, even poisoning, it's all bad stuff. So Quinn chose to correct his own words.

"I mean for selfishness. I need your help to get rid of someone who's gonna ruin all of our lives. When I'm done, I promise I'll set you free. So, for a while, let's make good friends. I'll try not to hurt you, "quinn's sincerity is well conveyed.

Sky who did not accept Quinn's coercion became a little lethargic. He could feel Quinn's purity of heart and his ambition to achieve that one goal.

{I would risk my life for you, Quinn} - Vynx

{Hahaha, you're too formal. I can help you make it happen, don't worry} - Ash

{Humph! what can I do, besides I can't run away if it's not you who broke the contract} - Sky

"Can I now remove the flower? I need it for King Kaisen. He suffered a long time ago" Quinn kept asking Ash for permission.

{Take it. It would be more useful to use than to be left to die and wither away.}

Quinn plucks the flower and asks Ash to save it until he comes out of the forest to avoid being damaged.

"I'll hand it over to Mr. Gray soon."
