Hermit Wizard

59. Souls flow to high places (4)

* * *

He only repeats similar words afterwards, but seems to have no further details. I'm trying to orient the question, but Parvasse suddenly intervenes.

[Min Joon, let me ask you a question.]

Parvasse asked the question directly by telepathy.

[Is there any trace of the dragon's carcass or whatever it was?]

The memories that were asked answer.

“Maybe.”

[Okay, let's change the question. What is the most likely place for it to remain if there is any sign of the dragon?]

I see what Parvash is thinking.

I don't know what kind of resurrection they're after, but we may need a mediator. The easiest thing to think about is the body that was the vessel of the soul. I don't know if this concept works for the Old Testament either.

What if we find out where it is and destroy it, or we get it in our hands?

“· · · Only one place is worth it. His nest. ”

Probably, there is a good chance that there will be another answer, but I asked.

“Where is the Dragon's Nest? If not, what is the most likely location? ”

I pause as if I recall.

“· · · The executive once said. He said he enjoyed staying in a place similar to the environment of his native land.”

“Read more. ”

“The world he used to live in was a dry atmosphere and high temperatures. And a desolate land spread out. ”

After all, it seems to refer to desert terrain.

“Hm · · ·,”

It's better than nothing, but it's not a great hint. How many lands in the world can be classified as desert? How big is that area again?

The answer continued for a long time. Continue to ask questions, eliciting information that could be a clue to how to find the executive of this organization.

As a result, I learned that their hands were closer than I thought. The wizards that surged after the channel opened. They were already approximating the scale, and the wizards that the Korean government was secretly nurturing were in their target range.

On the other hand, we also learned that the ends classified as apprentices are all paid for similar kinds of artifacts.

How long has it been?

“Huh?”

[Min-jun, look at that.]

Parvasse calls me to see if he has found the same thing. The body fluid began to flow from a body tissue similar to the nose of a fake god.

Now I think I should finish my interrogation today. I think if I go too far, I can completely lose my mind.

Just because he's answering well doesn't mean his mind is at peace. The implication takes precedence over any conflicts or conflicts, so we just click on the answer.

I throw a telepath that only Parvash can hear.

‘Let's ask questions about the channel in my chest when there is no flow. ’

[Yes, I agree.]

I don't know if there's any information left in the memory of these ends, but I wanted to check it out. Does this organization really know that the dragon has a channel in my chest? If I know, I want to ask why. I've never done this to anyone but me.

What kind of dragon has ever opened a channel in the body of another creature? Usually the Old Testament does that to the Old Testament. A kind of medal for those who serve themselves.

I want to know, but · · ·,

That's it for today.

I stretched out my hand and lowered the shackles of a fake god back into the horsepower freeze.

Ooooooooooooooo!

The false god's body begins to be submerged in the magic solution in the cistern. I'm going to have to recover a little bit in there, and then I'm going to have to go back later.

Whether the body felt submerged in liquid, a fake god with a sealed field of view sprays telepathy all around.

How long have you replaced me?

Despair and misery mixed in mind. I didn't avoid it and took it to my brain. Now that I've frowned or suffered from cheap guilt, it's just a mental escape.

As long as it is already in hand, it will use it as much as possible.

He brainwashed me or tortured me, opened a channel to Aberdagro and tried to save himself. I know he had a pretty detailed knowledge of how to torture human life.

Ugh!

I don't know if that foreigner made a deal with the Demons before he noticed my existence, or if he was my heir.

It was to overcome the fear of the afterlife that I felt as a contractor of the Demons that I found a way to Aberdeen. Or did you inevitably make a deal to subdue me as a step towards going to Aberdeen?

Either way it's meaningless now. I've been asking fake gods countless questions so far, but I've never asked about this.

This is for sure. He will not be the savior. However, I will stop the demon people from taking their souls. At least for the rest of my life.

The false god's body continued to descend, finally completely submerged into the cistern. At the same time, he is unconscious and stretched.

* * *

“Whew, you're gonna die. ”

A brunette, neatly organized. He buries himself roughly on the couch in the corner of the restroom. Slowly loosen the bow tie with one hand.

“You've got to be kidding me, Mr. Light. ”

The verb "die," doesn't fit this situation and the acting secretary blows a pinjan. A man who looked at a taller black woman for a while, humming and farting.

Then I lie down without taking off my top like I don't want to care.

“If you just lie there, your tux is crumpled. ”

“What do I know? ”

A man withers. The secretary who was looking down at him asks in case.

“You're not going to work like this, are you? ”

“That's exactly what I think. ”

The man's secretary, Grace, sighed little. Then he approaches him as if he had made a plan and says,

“Eugene, wake up. At least say hello and disappear. Again, if you evaporate in the middle, Angela will spray an enormous amount of hysteria. ”

The executive who called both his boss and the First Lady of the United States a first name soon frowned. Eugene closed his eyes as if he would no longer listen to her.

“You can be uncomfortable throughout this hateful regime. This charity party is rumored to have been on the ball for weeks. ”

“The regime is less than two years away. Be my age. About that time will pass. ”

“But Benjamin would definitely challenge reelection? I will declare my candidacy when spring comes. And the support rate is good. ”

“Then you won't make me reelect. What about the sex scandal? ”

According to the joke the boss threw, the secretary shook her head like she was never a child.

“That didn't work 20 years ago? In the same social atmosphere these days,

“Oh, people are so open these days. I have no dignity.”

“Anyway, if you're going to disappear like this and live out your hatred, you'd better bite her. ”

“Absolutely not! It's not my taste. ”

Grace looked down at the grumpy Eugene and said,

“Anyway, if you're really going to work like this, you should talk about work before then. ”

“Isn't that what you're doing? Am I here to play this party? I'm here for work. ”

“No, not that. The real thing. ”

“ · · · · · · ”

A man raises his torso quietly. Throw your eyes as if you were trying to talk. Grace stands up and eases her palms. At the same time, the chatter and music of the people who were leaking in from outside the closed door of the break room was cut off like a lie.

“Disaster response team members entered Mauritania yesterday. ”

“Did you get an interim report? ”

“Yes.”

Grace nods.

In a channel near the Mauritanian capital Nouakchott last spring, fewer than 1 m of kidney was spilled. A species classified as HSNR6T18 according to the United Nations Heterogeneous Classification Baseline Table.

Here's what it means.

Hostile

Have supernatural magic and more

Nonintercommunicable incommunicado with humanity

Hazard Rating Stage 6: Requires national level force response, excluding nuclear

Technical Civilization Level 18: Scientific and technological level corresponding to the 18th century in human history (presumably low levels of mass production)

This was one of the worst cases of xenophobia in the channel, but fortunately there were not many individuals. Moreover, the Mauritanian army succeeded in eradicating the xenophobia and closed the channel.

However, it was a problem that the level of that closure was insufficient.

There have been two additional intrusions since the first appearance, one of which occurred a month ago. Nouakchott became a ghost city, and the country was filled with refugees who had fled the old capital. (Neighbouring countries refused to accept refugees.)

The dictatorship, which quickly completed the transfer of the capital, shouted out for a while that the country could resolve the situation on its own. The notion of United Nations troops or overseas deployments is a world that has already disappeared, but we have refused even the life-scattering relief of countries that have little or no damage.

Then, after a month of crisis, I received only external relief.

At the very least, the entry of the new channel-related disaster response organization at the United Nations was denied. Only the Global Initiative for a Better World (GIBW) disaster response team was allowed to enter, due to the lack of religious background among civilian relief organizations, and relevant personnel arrived in Mauritania yesterday.

Their main mission is to distribute relief and medical services around refugee camps.

However, some of them were admitted for completely different purposes.

“The executive who was moving along with the group was Alice, right? ”

“Yes, it's what her children learned from the refugees. ”

Grace puts the document on the tablet PC and hands it over to Eugene. Eugene, who whispered about it, raises his eyebrows as if surprisingly.

“What happens in a country where there is no infrastructure that has changed, and no xenophobia to use as instructors? ”

It is likely that the information itself was incorrect, "I didn't get it. ”

“You turned your back on America? This little country? ”

Mauritanian troops mobilized for Nouakchott's third xenophobic invasion a month ago. Among them was a conspicuous group. Clearly they were wearing the same military uniform, but moved apart from other units, and decisively they did not use firearms.

A scene in which they poured cold from their hands to freeze xenophobia was witnessed by ordinary soldiers, and the story seems to have spread among civilians despite strict military control.

“I understand why you refused to enter the United Nations Relief and Works Agency while accepting our support. Are you worried about leaking information? You mean you've already fostered a great Legion of Wizards, if you can make a real phone call? ”

“Yes. They're gathering not far from the previous capital and training. Alice already checked the location. ”

“Quickly, too."

Grace asks, looking into Eugene's eyes.

“So, what do we do? ”

The man shrugged and replied.

“What do you do? The wizard is a power recovery wizard. It's a bit small and I've been trained in combat, so this time I want the executive to move alone without apprenticeship, like in Washington. ”

If we go after El Paso's bone-breaking experience, we are refraining from recruiting apprentices.

“The old-fashioned way no longer works. ”

Instead, we can't tease them all the time, so while we are working on improving and strengthening the supplies for apprentices, the executives will be busier for a while until this is over.

“Chet.”

A man grumbles in a small voice. The times have changed so strangely, now the executive has to step up to the collecting task himself, so I can't help but lose my hands.

The acting secretary nodded, picked up the phone and made a short call. The code she spat out will be forwarded to the local rescue team in Mauritania and will soon be forwarded to Alice as well.

“By the way,

Grace, who finished the call, looks at the boss and says,

“What are you going to do about Seoul? ”
