Hermit Wizard

3. Prologue (3)

[So, once the channel opens up in your body, we have to avoid the Savior's eyes quickly. My goal is to make you live longer than you've ever been.]

I nod in fear.

[Well, kid, now that you're starting to understand me a little bit, I think it's time to talk about this.]

Parvasse chose to start something important.

[In the meantime, I've been analyzing your observations, especially your potential as a wizard, and what I've learned about this world, your current situation.]

“Yes.”

[It is undeniable that the Savior has taken an interest in you. There's no way that something weird could have happened while you were literally passing through the channel in your body.]

“ · · · · · · ”

[By the way, maybe I can't come to you right now?]

“For example? ”

[It's unlikely, but from that moment on, we no longer have to fear the return of the Savior.]

“Oh, it's hard. Anyway, if you find evidence that the savior won't do anything to me, you can live like this, right? ”

[Correct.]

“What if I can't find it? ”

[If you don't know the whereabouts of the Old Testament, or vice versa, make sure you live well in this world. This is a very dangerous situation. Once this happens, you have to give up your life.]

“What?”

It was ridiculous.

[We have to leave here. Hiding in as many places as possible.]

“Where there are so many people? Not where you don't have it? ”

[To deceive the Old Testament's senses, it is easier to hide where many similar humans are gathered. And this is too close to where the channel was open. Dangerous.]

“Oh, so we have to move to Seoul? ”

Then the story that followed made me dumb again.

[Anyway, after setting the ground, you have to unfold the most powerful shielding magic that your potential allows, and then stay immobilized and stuffed in it.]

“The shield · · · what?? ”

[Thinking about your talent, maybe five or ten years will make you cover this house. As a matter of fact, if the shield magic is available to you, you can avoid the Savior's eyes wherever you are, so the shield can be broken when the Savior decides and uses his power to find you. But at this level, even young rescuers have behavioral limitations, so using that kind of power would be penalized. Only then will it be efficient to give up on you and create new channels.]

“No, wait a minute."

When I didn't understand it, Parvash explained that it was a shield. In summary, it's like a wall that is invisible and untouched, but if it's inside, the Savior won't find me. It's not a form, so everyone can come out freely, but it's just that the savior in it doesn't recognize me.

[The savior who didn't find you in the shield will think you're dead. With your death, I'm mistaken that the channel is already closed, and I'm going to give up.]

Somehow, I frowned at the gloom that had already begun.

“Got it."

[Ah, that's not the end.]

As Parvasse thought for a moment, he stopped talking.

[As I said before, the moment you complete the shield magic, you are 90%... or in some way 99% safer. But · · ·.]

It was a faceless robot face, but I felt like Parvasse was breathing for a reason.

[99% to 99%]. We need to be prepared for what's going on. It's unlikely, but if the savior is going to find you by running out of power, then we also need measures to break the shield.]

“Shuffle.”

[Though unlikely, I also think it is dangerous not to prepare. You can't gamble with your life.]

“... so what do we do? ”

[In case the Savior breaks your shield magic, you will learn the Dimension Leap magic by trying to vomit blood and poop, as crazy as death, right after completing the shield. Because you warp to a different dimension without using a channel, even the Saviors can't chase the trail.

As soon as you notice that the shield magic has been breached, you can flee to a different dimension. You're wearing a double safety device.

With your talent, it will not be easy before the channel evolves into an adult, so it will be uncertain if the Old Testament will be able to accomplish this before coming to you. It's better than not even trying.]

“ · · · · · · ”

I lost my horse for a while, and somehow I wrapped my head around it, feeling like the plate was getting bigger.

“No, but how am I supposed to find the trace of the savior? It's a strange dimension you said, so how do you use the magic?“

[Don't worry about that.]

It felt like Parvash's voice rang in his head.

[Tracking down the Old Man's trail, shielding magic to create a nest where you can hide, dimensional leap magic that can be splashed into other dimensions, all of which you can learn.]

“How?”

Parvasse decided.

[I'll teach you magic!]

“What?”

[This is like luck, you're like me.]

Afterwards, a series of eloquent modifiers were followed by explanations of how brilliant and good Parvash was, and he began to wait and see how great a blessing it was to learn magic from himself. Again, the words "collective consciousness," or "spirit," which I did not understand at the time, were followed by the words "academic record," "purbagios."

[You can't use magic in this state because your body doesn't have a piece of magic, but you can teach it.]

“No, but I summoned you with magic I didn't even learn. But isn't it a little weird to learn magic from you again? ”

[I'm guessing you summoned me that day and subordinated me to pure, intense wishes and persistent will, so there was a primitive level of magic.]

I frowned.

“What?”

[What you're trying to teach me in the future is a way that you can write that kind of magic that you expressed that day with a primitive will... and perhaps with a sense of ownership, without necessarily having a strong will or extreme emotion.]

“How did you get summoned by chance? You have to learn to use magic properly, right? ”

[Yeah, we're done here, right? To be clear, you need to learn tracking magic from now on to find the Savior's trail while also learning the shield magic to avoid his eyes, and to learn dimensional leap magic in case it breaks down.]

When I heard that story, I had no sense of reality at all. I can't believe that a finalized existence could be aiming for me in this world, or that I need to learn three "me" magic tricks for an unknown soul in a toy robot in preparation for that time.

· · · But I will find out later, but it was so pure an idea that I only need to learn three 'magic'. The magical world that Parvashe was talking about was a long journey that required countless spells and formulas to be memorized and step-by-step in order to reach a certain level, rather than just a simple object to learn by choosing the magic I wanted to learn.

[Don't worry, I'll do my best. Now you understand that it's hard for me to die, too, right?]

· · · I did not understand the facts well.

I've been told that if I die, Parvasse dies anyway. But his death is a little different from my death.

“I still don't know what you're talking about, Parvasse. ”

I shook my head.

Parvasse stopped talking like he gave up.

[OK, let's talk about the meaning of “death." Let's measure the speed of your intelligence development and knowledge accumulation and try again in the next four years. In the meantime, let's study hard.]

And Parvasse planted it in my head like it was fun to hear a thousand times over the next few years.

[Rest assured, I'm a very good teacher. Magic, it's actually very easy.]

If you think about it now, it's half right, half wrong.

That's how Parvash and my Spartacus class began.
