spirit
king's treasurer
I make sure the finances of the king are in order. I often give advice to the king on money issues. I am shrewd and greedy.
Whose spirit are you   Wouldn't you like to know. Now why are you here in the forest? I learnt of some hidden treasures here!  You dare to enter this dark forest? The reward us far greater than the risk What treasure are you after, that you would risk your life going in there! I warn you, it is far more dangerous than you think I understand some ancient travelers kept some in the cave at the south end of the forest.  It is a lie! How about you come back in 40 days, and then try to find it? No one stops me! Not a spirit!  I have warned you. Look, you go in there you die You become a spirit like me. And I do not want any compnay. You were killed because you entered the forest   Yes, I warned you. There are demons that protect that treasure you seek.
