Chapter 59 - Spirit Salt

Joseph finds it a little unexpected that Nathan wants him to tell him about those things.

'Isn't he one of those people? He wouldn't know about 'them' if he didn't know of their existence. So why…?'

But no matter how confused he was, he still agreed to Nathan's request since it's not really something he needs to hide.

"Understood, sir." he politely answered.

"Good!" Nathan smiled happily, he turned his gaze at the bell, "Now, I should think about how to remove this curse."

From the appraisal, it was said that the Spirit Leech will continuously suck the target's life until they become a corpse.

So Nathan concluded that, even if he removes the bell now, the curse on his employees still won't disappear.

Holding his chin, Nathan thought about how he can get rid of the Spirit Leech attached to everyone.

With the glasses of all-seeing on his eyes, Nathan turned eyes to Joseph and once again used appraisal on it.

The result was still the same.

But this time, Nathan tried to focus on it while continuously thinking 'weakness, weakness…'

Appraisal did not fail to meet Nathan's expectations!

Soon a new window appeared beside the original appraisal result.

[The easiest way to get rid of a Spirit Leech is to use Spirit Salt.]

His eyes immediately brightened after finally finding a way to remove those cursed spirit leech!

"But… where am I supposed to get Spirit Salt?" He muttered, as his excitement slowly cooled down.

"Hmm… spirit salt, spirit salt, spirit…!"

Nathan suddenly thought of something, since this salt has 'spirit' in its name, the spirit inside his independent space might know something about it.

Once the thought came to his head, Nathan did not delay anymore.

"Wait for me here, I need to get something inside my car." Saying that, Nathan headed inside his car.

Joseph stood rooted, following Nathan with his eyes.

Inside the car, after making sure that he can't be seen from the outside, he entered the space.

When he got inside, he saw that the originally lifeless space had become more vibrant.

On the fields, crops like wheat and corn were planted.

He was staring at it in a daze when suddenly a small figure rushed towards him.

"Master, you're here!"

It was Natura, the tree spirit.

"Yeah, I have something that I want to ask you." Nathan wanted to keep on looking at the space but right now he still has a more urgent matter to attend to.

"Do you know about Spirit Salt?"

"Spirit Salt? Yes, Master. Do you need some?" Natura tilted her head curiously.

"Yes, I need some! Do you know where I can get it?"

After confirming that Natura really knows about Spirit Salt, Nathan was happy.

"I don't have any at the moment, Master. But I can make some if I have the ingredients."

At the first half of her words, the happiness in Nathan almost vanished. But hearing the latter part energized him.

"Really? Tell me what you need and I'll try to bring it to you!" He excitedly said.

"Making Spirit Salt doesn't need much, Master. All I need is some finely grind salt."

Nathan was a little surprised.

"Is that so? Then wait for me here, I'll go get some salt first!"

The surprise he felt did not delay Nathan, he hurriedly went out of the space and stepped out of his car.

Seeing Joseph, he said, "Joseph, please bring me some salt."

If this was an animation, you would probably see the question marks popping out of Joseph's head from the confusion he's feeling.

"Salt, sir?" he asked perplexed

"Yes, come on, hurry!" Then Nathan shook his head, "Forget it, I'll do it myself."

Next, he hurriedly entered the cafe and headed for the kitchen.

At this time, he noticed that some of the employees were already sitting down on the floor, without any energy to move.

Realizing the urgency of the matter, Nathan started moving faster.

"Tsk!"

He clicked his tongue at this sight but did not stop his feet for a second.

Nathan immediately found the salt as it was placed in an easy to see spot.

With the salt in his hands, Nathan quickly walked out of the cafe.

Ignoring his Joseph, he went inside his car and entered his space.

"Here is the salt."

Once inside the space, Nathan immediately passed the salt to Natura.

Accepting it, Natura looked at Nathan and said, "Okay, Master. Wait for me here for a little bit."

"Okay, but be fast, okay?"

"I will do my best, Master!"

Natura turned around and went inside a small house that was placed beside his Thatch house.

This is the first time Nathan saw this house so he was sure that it was added by the tree spirits or something.

Anyway, it's not something he needs to pay attention to, so he stopped thinking about it.

Then, Nathan realized that his heart was actually beating fast because of agitation.

"Ah, I've been worrying too much." he muttered.

Taking a deep breath, Nathan restored his calmness.

With nothing to do, he just stood there and waited for Natura to come back.

He did not wait long as Natura came out of the small house with the bottle of salt in her hands.

"Master, here is the Spirit Salt that you wanted." Putting it on Nathan's palm, Natura smiled cutely.

"It's done?" Taking the salt close to his eyes, Nathan frowned.

"It still looks the same as when I brought it to you…" he muttered,

It's not that he doubts Natura's words, it's just that he expected something "magical".

Shaking his head, he used appraisal on it.

"Appraisal!"

"Now I can get rid of those leeches burdening my employees."
