Hermit Wizard

23. Purple and Silver Forest Under the Sky (4)

According to Grur, humans were an uncommon species before being hunted in earnest. Why was it that Del Giant had such a strong fertility but had so few?

It soon became apparent that the environment in this world was too harsh to survive with human physical abilities.

When the sun rises high, the atmosphere rises. It was a little hot in the middle of the night, but the temperature starts to rise rapidly as the day begins in earnest. It was under the shade of a tree that completely avoided the sun.

“Aw, it's hot. ”

I couldn't stand it, so I memorized a cold spell, but three giants, including Gourd, quickly cancelled the spell to frighten me and avoid me.

“No, isn't it hot? ”

Gru said in a purple tone.

“No wonder it's hot in the day, right? But please, I just want you not to rewrite the magic.

Hikham nodded quickly and said,

“That's right, Jung! I touched the wind for a while, but it was like my flesh was torn! ”

When I hit the cold created by my magic, I think I just perceived it as a 'pain’ beyond the cold. It was supposed to be about the temperature of the air conditioning wind.

I finally gave up and went into my sleeping bag with only a little cold around my body. Soon the giants also lay down and fell.

I was tired, because of the tension of my body and mind rather than the consumption of horsepower.

I crossed dimensions and fought three battles with my own flesh, although it was a unilateral victory.

My body is crazy-sleepy, but I rarely sleep. The Del Giants, including the Gourd, sleep comfortably in the world. I believe my words as if they were strangers, and I am confident that this shield will remain intact until nightfall. What if I lied or had a bad heart?

Parvasse.

I call Parvasse quietly into my heart.

[Why.]

‘What do you think? This dimension. As a place of residence? ’

[Isn't the temperature too high? He said he was going to bring his family when the Earth was destroyed. You can only live in it by creating a suitable environment, but you're not used to living like that. What about your mother and brother?]

‘That's the problem. It's not a favorable environment. ’

I glanced at the giants who had fallen asleep. Compared to any primate on Earth, longer hair covers the entire body. It's hot for me to see.

‘Why did the Del Giants evolve into a seedling in such a hot environment? ’

[The constituents of the body are completely different from the life on Earth. The effect of blocking the heat is incomparable with that of animals on Earth. The trees here look a lot like the ones on Earth, but when you look inside, they look like they're completely different creatures.]

Apart from desert plants like cactus, it is a difficult temperature to survive. The tall trees that fill the forest are similar to the trees on Earth, but their internal structure and survival mechanisms seem to be completely different creatures.

Why are you so weak in the cold? I heard you got a cold. ’

[The cold threshold is lower than the heat because of the environment.]

In any case, it is clear that the area I am in right now is an environment that is not easy to live in by the human body. Once I get the shield, I'll have to do some more exploration.

I have to go in and out of my house to execute my plan in the future, but the current location of the Mapo Bridge channel is outside my protection. It's too much for me to be exposed outside the shield every time I cross the channel.

If the Savior overturns the Earth to find me, the shield will be meaningless, but even if that happens, it will be at least a few years later. Until then, I only want to move within the shield as much as possible.

So I decided to expand the shield and throw the Mapo Bridge Channel into my shield. In order to do so, a protective tree is indispensable. · · · And in fact the shield tree will also be useful for “other shields”.

‘By the way, if you are the birthplace of the shield tree, this is the hideout of the Savior of the World.'

[What kind of bad luck did you have in your previous life? Are the Saviors going to tackle you in every world?]

‘Oh, I don't know. Damn it.’

As soon as I get the map, I have to decide how to get the shield tree. I took a deep breath to sink my complicated head.

* * *

At night, after robbing the seat and getting up, we again walked a few hours to reach Gour's village.

And as soon as I got there, I was forced to doubt the quality of Parvasse interpreters.

‘Hey, Parvasse. You've always interpreted it as a village. This is the town. ’

[There are no words to translate adequately, not in Korean. "Here" is also the smallest unit in the collective residence of the Del Giants.]

Honestly, I saw the form of clothing, the environment, and the magic levels, and I knew that civilization on this side of the globe was much less than the Earth. So, of course, when I heard that it was the village of Del Giant, I imagined that there would be some huts made of straw like the primitive tribes of the Amazon in the jungle.

But what was spread out before my eyes was a large, circular tower that was immeasurably tall. The walls are densely decorated with white constructions that look like long, short bouquets of what they are made of.

I can't see the top even if I hold my head in front of the tree because the trees keep my eyes closed and suddenly the tower appears in front of my eyes. I don't know how high. It is because the architecture of a village gathers giants.

“· · · wow, how could such a tall tower not be seen outside the forest? ”

After entering the forest, I can say that I didn't see the sky because of the tree covering my head. But I didn't see this big tower while I was walking towards this forest.

“Probably walking around during the night. Del's bones hide when it's moonlit. ”

“· · · Yes? What bones are you hiding? ”

Roll explained in a calm voice.

“If Del's bone reflects the moonlight, it assimilates with the atmosphere and hides its appearance. If you look close, it looks obvious, but when you look far away, it's hard to find it as if it's hidden in the moonlight. ”

“No, I mean, that giant tower...”

All those white-looking buildings?

“Yes, Del builds a town with bones left by his ancestors. Del's fathers and mothers are called the blood and flesh of their descendants living and dying, and they strengthen the barrier to defend their offspring's nest with their own bones. ”

[Indeed, Del Giant's skeleton is incredibly strong. Go away from the dizzy magic metal.]

Parvasse gave me a supplementary explanation in a voice I could only hear.

The scroll continued with a tone of pride, but I only thought I was reluctant to hear something. Gourd and the two disciples reached out to me as if they were walking in front of the entrance, but I didn't easily step down.

· · · Is there any smell in there?

* * *

The giants who found me entering the Tower of Del Giant reacted not so differently than the Gourds. · · · fainting.

As the curious giants flock to the gatekeepers and everywhere they walk, the gurus flutters.

“Get back! It's an elder's guest!”

There were no giants who would break his word and come closer to whether the status of the Gourd was high in this group. Gourd handed over his luggage to Palo and Hikham, told them to go home and rest, and then led me to the floor of the elders.

Unlike what I was worried about, not all the embedded materials in the tower were made of bone. I heard that only the exterior wall and the important skeleton are made of bone, and the rest of them are made of materials that are easily available in nature.

I rode on an elevator made of wood and metal that rolled with me. The area where the elders live is called the top floor. Glad you didn't have to walk up this tall tower.

Knock, knock.

If you don't feel the magic, you're sure to use mechanical power, not magic, but whatever the principle, it doesn't seem to be a very sophisticated type. The elevator started climbing at a slower pace than a human walk, and finally reached the top floor.

The roller with the elevator down walks a little in the corridor like a circular corridor and stands in front of a door.

“Gourd.”

“Come in.”

A deeper voice than Gru's voice replied from the inside of the door. The authorised roller opened the door without hesitation.

Immediately following him into the room, my horsepower circuit sensed a strong and deep horsepower, my nose smelled of all sorts of dried fauna and old paper, and my eyes watered with refined, subtle moonlight.

I'm in the middle of the night, but I don't think I use indoor lighting like a lamp. Magenta moonlight seeping through the window frame fills the room with brightness that is a little weaker than what was seen from the outside. After a closer look, the window was covered with a semi-transparent mineral, and the moonlight transmitted through it was illuminating the room to a moderate level. There are no obstacles to distinguishing things.

The ceiling height of this room is ridiculously high on a human basis, but compared to the size of that giant sitting in front of me, I can think of a better idea. I think I'll be taller than a roll when I get up.

Sitting on a plain covered in the hides of giant animals, an old woman's giant stares at the rolls with a heavy gaze.

“You're back, Gru. Good work. And · · ·”

And her gaze stays on the channel of my heart.

“Welcome, you little runt of the world. ”

The misunderstanding must be solved at the beginning of a full-scale conversation. But the underlings, Gru, as soon as they saw me, they said, "Why is that giant half-naked?" I bowed my head and greeted him first.

“Thank you for welcoming me. ”

Gru introduced each other.

“Elder Kafal, I met a human in the forest and my name is Jung. They're from this world, as you already guessed. Jung, let's go to Kafal Elder, the best wizard in our town. ”

Roll sat on a leather carpet in front of her, following the hand of the Carpal Elder, and I sat down in the direction I had just faced the Carpal Elder while dancing for a while.

“Elder, I have a guest, so I'll tell you a bit about the results of gathering herbs this time. Jung here offered us a deal.

Gur took the shield's nuclear artifact from me and handed it over to the Elder and gave a brief explanation. She touches the artifact and breathes magic, and the room is filled with shields in an instant.

“What a treasure. ”

The elder admired the value as soon as he realized it. By triggering the magic, I felt that the shield was maintained without any more conscious control of the magic.

While the Elder was admiring the artifact, Parvash and I had an unspeakable conversation with the giants and were amazed at the Elder's magical operation.

‘· · · He said he was the best wizard here. ’

[Spell construction is very clumsy, and it was abandoned in our primitive time. But the way we use the horsepower circuit is very delicate and highly dimensional. It seems that our long experience and genius have combined to find the most efficient way.]

I don't think I've learned how to operate, but I've learned it myself. Probably can't even tell someone else. It would have been optimized solely for her physical horsepower circuit.

“So you said you needed a map? ”

The elder, who had been rolling the plastic soju glass in his hand for a while, put it down and asked.

“Yes, as you've already heard, I want to get the shield. ”

“I can't believe a wizard as powerful as you needs a shield. ”

She nods within a moment, submerged in thought.

“Humans have lots of children, though. If there is a lack of existence like you, will the number increase greatly? Unlike the humans who lived here, we must have defeated all the predators, and the size of the tribe must have grown tremendously. If you want to protect all the tribes, you need a shield tree.

I feel like I have a better idea, and I open my hand and face the wall.

“Besides, if you use this artifact, you can keep any shield permanent! I will build a barrier around your entire town! ”

Her words were not logically wrong, but something was misdirected.
