Hermit Wizard

* * *

“Argh!”

I woke up and stretched and groaned without even knowing it.

Though my body is frowny, my head is very refreshing. I think I reopened my eyes as soon as I opened my eyes last night. It's morning.

By the way, I don't remember having a dream for days. I often remember my dreams vividly even after waking up because I have a high frequency of nightmares, but strangely, I don't think I have.

“Haaaaaaaaah! ”

I yawned long and walked out to the living room. Scratch your head and turn your magic like a habit. To spy on them.

I checked the position of the two of them, and then I stopped walking.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Seeing me, Parvasse shares his senses with him as he approaches. The two of you who are staying in this house are leaving their rooms on the first floor, closing the doors in the second floor library and talking. You're up early.

What are you up to, closing the door?

As I concentrate, the conversation that I share in a confined space resonates in my ears as clearly as I hear it right next to me.

“I think the elders' decision is slower than I thought. ”

It's the voice of the pearl house.

“Those bastards, they always are. ”

I can hear the roar blaring.

“I've been observing for four days, but I haven't found out. It's the only thing I've ever seen around my life. The silvery saplings that grow in the center of the house, the strange objects in the warehouse, obviously the magic, but I have no idea how it works. ”

“There's also a soul doll that's been going on for thousands of years. I don't know where that guy came from. ”

The two of them have for a long time stretched their speculation and assumptions about who I am.

“Anyway, I'll stay here and observe him until the answer comes from the village. I have to wait in a place not far from the gap anyway. ”

“Yes, but..."

He hesitated for a moment, and the pearl master spoke.

“It doesn't look like you've eaten something very evil and mean, does it? ”

“I don't see him as an evil man, but I think he has a short mind and a lack of prudence. I never thought I'd bring you to Beecher, full of these strange things. When you saw us. ”

· · · Then what have you believed and followed me to my den, you complacent bastard!

“It's a good thing we got a chance to stay close and watch. I can't shake the suspicion no matter how much I see it. I wonder how that power came to pass. I don't know if the shield I made in the gap is the right thing to say. But don't worry about it. Just in case he has a bad idea, if he wants to keep us out of it, that's it. ”

“Is it easy?”

“There seems to be a talent for shielding, but isn't there anything in this house right now? When you left the house before, you checked, didn't you? ”

In fact, they went out of the house with me. It's the day after I got here. In the meantime, I don't feel any disguise because of my concealment. The fact that the door that was sealed was open for a while every time I accompanied him.

“In fact, you're comfortable here, aren't you? ”

“Absolutely! I woke up with a dawn dew once every two days since I left town, so why don't you take a break? ”

“I never expected that the location of the mountains and rivers recorded on the map would change so much. ”

“It's been a long time, but I wanted to come here because you've had some experience living on land. I didn't expect to get busted here. ”

“When I was on land, the road wasn't so well paved. There weren't so many cars on the road. ”

“The last time I was in a human village on the island, the car was just a walk away, or a ride away, or a kiln. Anyway, the horse is a little leaky."

Garam coughs and cuts his throat.

“It's a predictable part of what the elders will come to. Since we can't recognize the identity of that shield, he'll send someone who can. It won't take months like us. If so, wouldn't it be in vain for both of us to come all the way here? The new sender from the village will be there in a few days, as I will guide you along the way. ”

You can fly, you can fly! By the way, if they hadn't gotten on the bus, it wouldn't have taken me as long, but what the hell have they been doing?

“· · · So, Pearl House. If you two leave for too long, you may find him suspicious, so go down first. ”

“Got it.”

The pearl master concluded the conversation and asked if he thought about going out of the library.

“Oh, brother, you've had a lot of meals these days, but isn't it a sad time? ”

“I want to be straight. ”

“You have to be careful. This isn't a backlog. If it had been before, the human house would have collapsed if it had been in trouble.”

“No way. In my view, building this house doesn't usually involve magic. I've never seen a place so folded and unfolded before. It weighs about two hundred pounds, doesn't it? ”

I heard the pearl family sigh.

“I can't believe the ability of the Orvernines. When you're piled up in your body, even if you don't have any weight, the moment you send me out, you take back the original weight. By the way, have you had two hundred muscles already? “

Parvasse, who was listening to this conversation together, mutters in my head as if it were absurd.

[The content of that conversation right now.

“Stop. Stop. That's it.”

But Parvasse didn't stop.

[Ah, I see. If you have eaten [· · · · ·,]

It's cheap.

· · · · · ah, I don't want to think anymore.

Around lunch.

I was laundering on the porch because it was sunny, and the pearl house approached and asked.

“Can I help you? ”

“Oh, no, no, it's okay. ”

“Nevertheless, thanks to you, we are at ease in doing this."

I shook my hands at her and glimpsed the laundry before it spread. There are tons of things in my underwear, and I can't leave them in that hand.

“Hmmm, it's really okay. ”

“Okay, bachelor. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

The bachelor, it's too old. The one who was born to call me that, no, I've never been a xenophobic. It's so awkward to say that with a face that looks like it's been over twenty years.

I hesitated and said.

“Yoon. I keep doing bachelor, bachelor."

I didn't want to give you a hot name, just in case. I thought of a name that was called to Del Giant, including Gru, and I just called him last name. I don't know how many Yoon there are in the world, but at least I won't lose my anonymous meaning.

“Okay, Mr. Yoon, bachelor. ”

“You can subtract the bachelor. ”

She smiles by the mouth and sits in the chair next to the laundry table. I think I want to have a conversation. I took a white t-shirt out of the laundry basket, but I didn't mess it up.

Then I thought about it and asked.

“By the way, how old are you? ”

I didn't do it in color, but I heard both the conversations the two of them had. I have heard stories that have followed me for the purpose of spying on me and that I have been lost on land for a long time, implying that I have lived much longer than I thought.

I know you're older, but how old are you?

“So, Mr. Yoon, how old are you this year? ”

“Twenty-two years old. ”

He opens his mouth slightly in surprise.

“He looked like his age, but he's really young. At that age, how? It seems that the teachings of the elder in the doll were really great. ”

“Ah, well. ”

“I sometimes saw humans who came ashore and regained their power. But they are also embarrassed when compared to Yoon. ”

I think I saw people who opened the magic circuit with magnetism like I did when I was a kid. Or have they encountered the number of people being nurtured under the care of the state? In the latter case, I am not sure if it is a situation in which I can go out freely.

“I think humans have really changed a lot. I'm actually just looking at a generation of humans who have almost lost their power, so now they're strangers. Not to mention Yoon. ”

I nod quietly.

Since the day the channel was opened indiscriminately to the world, the number of people who saw the Wizard's wave has increased dramatically. The wave is the sound of the horsepower circuit reacting sensitively to planetary energy, and it has the ability to convert that energy into horsepower and build up in the body.

Moreover, the knowledge of martial arts has spread through many paths, and the governments of several countries have secretly begun to nurture wizards. There is no media coverage, but rumors are spreading, and there is an abundance of unproven information on the Internet.

To my knowledge, even Korea is gathering and training talented people near Hung Leung. In fact, I checked directly with the summoner. I don't know what number I wrote without formal contact with the foreigners.

Despite the fact that the vast majority of civilizations, including the Gramferries, are in a closed exchange of information according to the will of the country in which the channel is located, it is certainly unexpected that information has flowed to the United States.

Then I have one question. If South Korea were to go this far, there would be a difference in depth, but it would be gathering information and interacting with xenophobia through informal channels. And then you get the knowledge of the oracle, the principle of the channel, and so on. Why doesn't the press have all that coverage?

Even though concealing the presence of wizards is at the level of the state's power of concealment, we cannot understand why information about the Savior is hidden from the public.

I'm thinking about it, and the pearl master said.

“I don't think human beings have just regained their power. ”

“Yes?”

“It looks like there's a very unique flavor in the world without me in the human world. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“How many times have humans been on the same path these days, and are they fashionable to go and go around? ”

Walking around the same path? Are you talking about a walk or something?

“Have you seen the walkers? ”

“The walk itself is not unusual. But were human walkers so ferocious that they could spend twenty-four hours a day and night walking? ”

“24 hours?”

I didn't understand what she was saying, so I asked her. Then the pearl house threw a heavy glance beyond the window and said,

“A few people have noticed since yesterday. You're driving the same road a couple of times a day. I've been watching, and maybe I've been spending the night. ”
