mouth as she looked at it.

But it wasn’t a human.

‘Homunculus.’

A battle doll with human form.

She was called the best alchemist in the word with unparalleled skills.
But Jamie had no intention of going back.

He needed money.

“Sho-sho-”

Kiriel shook her hand trying to get rid of him.

Looking at her, Jamie said.

“If not, maybe another suggestion.”

“Whatever you can do, I can do too.
So, go on now, that doll will take you to your place.”

-Doll?!

Venna, who realized it late, was shocked.

Jamie spoke again,

“Aren’t you going to enter the shadow world?”

Kiriel went stiff.

She turned her head and looked at Jamie.

“What are you saying?”

“The Shadow Sheep’s Heart is one of the ingredients to enter the Shadow World.”

“How do you… ah!”

She was so flustered that she gave out her intentions.

It was because the Shadow Sheep’s Heart was only known to alchemists.

As far as she knew, there weren’t many people who knew of it.

If it was common information, she wouldn’t have suffered for decades.


She bet that neither the Magic World of Seldam or the Klone Kingdom were aware of it.

But an 8 year old knew?

“… does the Welton Family’s library have something written about it?”

Jamie avoided answering with a smile, seeing that, Kiriel sighed.

“Right.
As you said, I want to enter that Shadow World, so I am going for the heart.
Happy now? Now go back.
This old lady wants to rest.”

“It has been said since ancient times that the Shadow World is connected with the afterlife.”

Energy gushed out of Kiriel.

The energy wasn’t directed at Jamie, but made the store move.

“Guessing such things is bad, kid.
Since you are a child, go back to Siegfried.
It is late.”

“Maybe I can help.”

“… What?”

“Shadow World.
Even with the materials, there is a high chance of failure.
Because even if the materials are fine, the Master of the Shadow World is moody, so he won’t allow entry into it.
Of course, that doesn’t mean he will let us use the material again.
You will have to search for them all again from the beginning.”

Jamie remembered the Master of Shadow World.

The Shadow World was nothing like this world.
There was no matter there, and everything which existed was in the form of spirits.

Why?

The reason was simple.

It was because the Master of Shadow World was the ‘Spirit King’.

‘And not an ordinary Spirit King.’

In general, spirits lived in the Spirit World.

And there were five Spirit Kings.

They were the ones who controlled the most basic attributes.
Most people thought that was what spirits were.

It was inevitable because humans knew nothing about the other worlds.

However, the Shadow World was similar to the Spirit World but of only one attribute.

It was ‘darkness’.

Another name for the Shadow World was the ‘Dark World’.

It was a world where the Spirit King of the dark spirits reigned as ruler.

‘The Spirit King has more power than the 12 Gods in that place.’

In other words, the Dark Spirit King in the Shadow World was more powerful than any being.

Even if Jamie regained his full power, defeating that Spirit King would be difficult.

If such an existence eats the ingredients and refuses to let her enter, Kiriel won’t be able to do anything.

But Jamie knew how to make him allow it.


“How do I trust that what you are saying is true?”

Kiriel couldn’t believe Jamie’s words that easily.

The Shadow World was an unknown realm that had little information in the human world.
And, to say, it was all from the creatures of the Shadow World which appeared here occasionally.

However, a kid was saying that there was a Master for the Shadow World, it would be difficult to believe those words.

Jamie, who understood that, suggested.

“Let’s write a soul contract.”

-Master!

Venna was startled by it.

Soul contract?

A contract which mortgages them for life after life, the soul being collateral.

Venna didn’t think that her Master would be so crazy.

-Have you lost it? Can’t we just get the money elsewhere? A Soul contract!!

‘Don’t shout, my head hurts!’

-Mas…!

Jamie looked at Kiriel.
She too was shocked by the Soul Contract.
That wasn’t something which could come out from the mouth of an 8 year old.

‘That is how earnest the request is.’

She had to get this thing into her hands this time.

“Shouldn’t that be enough?”

“… what are you doing kid? No, are you really a kid?”

Kiriel felt a little scared of Jamie now.
Jamie’s intelligence made no sense unless this child was a monster.

In addition, he had the courage to mention a Soul Contract.

“So what do you plan to do? I can help you, Miss Kiriel.
I am sure.”

It wasn’t a bluff.

In her 80 years of life had she ever been swayed by a child?

Rather, she even went against the strong people and now she had enemies in most places.

“Conditions?”

“Prepayment.
Contract fulfillment later.”

To get the heart, he would have to participate in the auction.
And at the same time he needed to get his artifact too.

Kiriel, who thought for a moment, said.

“Bring the contract.”

And the Soul contract was made.
