Hermit Wizard

66. Souls flow to high places (11)

They panicked, but couldn't even get together and discuss it. The elder in charge of the archives stepped up and read some of the best-known poems. The Old Testament heard it and said,

“It's rough, but it tastes weird. I'll memorize this poem. But trim it a little bit more. You're gonna need more time. I will come back just two hundred years from now. ”

“Now, wait a minute! ”

The elder in charge of the records had a lifetime of courage.

“According to the Old Testament, the Savior called himself ‘the one who opens the doors of the world.' For a long time, we had no way of knowing what that meant. But now things have changed. ”

The elder spoke loudly while empowering the howling legs.

“A few days' walk from here will bring you to Huang. Blue Gate of Light! Through that door, which came out of nowhere decades ago, xenophobia continues to cross. Giants with long hair! ”

The savior replied.

“Ah, the name of the tribe is Ashpim. ”

“Ashpim! Why did you open that door? Can't you close it again? Those giants have a strange ability to burst their flesh without using their hands, and their bodies are huge and threatening to us! ”

The Old Testament looked at the elder and said,

“I don't care how the mortals come and go between dimensions. I will neither help nor stop them from moving. ”

“Ah, Gudozai. ”

“No matter how you and Ashpim interact, how you die and kill, it is not for me to know. ”

“Then why is the door open? ”

“· · · I told the mortals that you can be bothered later, but I will tell you because you are the first people to recite your favorite phrase. In fact, the door is not open to me. ”

The elder couldn't understand anything. You said you were the one who opens the door. Isn't it right in front and back?

“Yes? What do you mean?"

The Old Testament paused as if contemplating, then telepathized again.

“The door was opened by the savior of the world where the Ashpims live. Given the level of civilization, if you compare the ages of the world, your dimensions are older. It does not make a big difference to the extent that the channel is not connected. But if you compare, you are clearly more agitated. So I have absolutely no motive to open the door in that dimension. The soul flows to Bondi High. ”

None of the elders there understood the word of the Savior. The Old Testament disappeared after telling a few more stories that seemed very pleasant.

“Oh, it's true that the Ashpims weren't originally based on this dimension! ”

What I just read is more of a scroll where the method of interpretation was disconnected. Elder Kafal admires it as he lowers his thigh into the palm of his hand.

“There's one more satellite we need to capture and defeat, Elder Kafal. Didn't they end up invading our world the way they wanted to? ”

Gourdo smiled, revealing his teeth.

[Hm · · ·. I think that's why the war between the two races started in the first place.]

Parvasse muttered only to me. Meanwhile, I just got more complicated in the list of stories I don't know what the hell.

“No, is there any information we want? It's like the resurrection of a dead savior. ”

[Nothing like that.]

My head hurts.

[When face-to-face, I remembered the poem, and I noticed what I was doing, but I think I really like poetry. Well, it's not uncommon for a soothsayer to be obsessed with something weird.]

“What about the scrolls you haven't read yet? What's in it?”

[After that, I showed up once and asked the city to listen. The visit cycle is shorter. Every time, the Del faction also got information. I don't care how you die or kill, but if you feel good, you just spray it. Or is the heartbeat just a joke?]

Even so, I also received such information as shield branches and seeds.

Parvasse continues to pass through the scroll.

[The Old Testament gives information such as the principle of the world or the abilities of the Old Testament, but also teaches magic to the Del Clan. So it seems that the elder in charge of the records later became the jurisdiction of mathematics.]

“Oh, from there, it's written in a language that I can interpret. The elder, who plays the role of reciting poetry to the Old Testament, received a magical transcript, so naturally he also took on the role of superintendent of magic. ”

“Oh, so Del's magical ancestor is the savior of the Milky Way? ”

“To some extent. But his teachings were really hard to understand. The forefathers could not digest a thousandth of his words. The magic theory we're using right now seems to be bug-eating, but the connection is unnatural. There are a lot of things that seem to be written just by memorizing the conclusions with the intermediate process omitted. ”

When you listen to the story, it seems like a civilization that has been going on for quite a long time. Strangely, the level of mathematics has fallen. There's a story like this.

At that time, Parvasse stopped walking in front of a scroll and asked.

[By the way, according to the contents here, the Old Testament said that he would visit again shortly. In xxxx years, it was 500 years ago at the time of this world? Why aren't there any records after that?]

Elder Kapal replied.

“It was before I was born, but I heard it for sure. 500 years ago, the Savior suddenly behaved differently than before. And then he didn't come to see our kind. ”

“What happened? ”

She looked me in the eye.

“I made a forest of shields in the middle of the wilderness, and became confined to it. Since then, no one has ever shown up with the Savior. · · · Before you and Jung Gur met him a while ago. ”

* * *

I spent the day at the Tower of the Del Giant and went on my way home in the early evening. I headed out of the forest with the cheers of the Gourds.

Like when it comes, it teaches with concealment magic and movement speed increase magic, and moves like the wind by inhaling the Elongation Elixir.

I spoke to Parvash and Telepathy just in case anything bothers me.

‘What, you're wasting your time! ’

It's not worth it at all. It's a waste of two days a night. How busy I am these days!

[But, you've gained a lot of knowledge that you can't see on academic records, right?]

‘What knowledge? The savior of Silver Rim is a delightful virtue of poetry? Isn't it a little tasty to have that kind of existence in the first place to collect the poems of the immortals? ’

[No, not that.]

‘Then what? The Ashpim Giant is an extra-dimensional species in this world? That's very useful knowledge, Mr. Parvash. ’

[No, the war between alien and indigenous species is a common story. After that, if civilization collapses a few times, you don't even know who you are.]

I seem to have heard something troubling, but there was something else I wanted to say.

"Then what the hell are you talking about? ’

[Do you remember what I interpreted? The soul flows to high places. Maybe that phrase has clues about the connection between the oracle and the channel. I don't know if it means what it means or if it's a literary representation of the old Del Giants.]

But I'm more urgent now than breaking the secrets of the universe and its dimensions to get rid of the chunks of shit that are right in front of me.

I tried to do that, but I saw a channel leading to Earth from a distance. I took a look at what I was about to say and made fun of it faster.

‘Almost there. Let's move on.’

Approach the boundary of the shield I made and create a crack that will pass through my body. Then I stepped inside.

Then, I had an unpleasant sensation that flowed all over me.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

[Hmm? What's wrong?]

I couldn't stand Parvasse.

Violence and confusion that seem to see something for the first time since birth. An ambiguous awakening with something I forgot a long time ago. These two totally contradictory thoughts poke around in your head.

Fragments of thought that are fragmented and cannot find shape seem to flow roughly through the cerebral vessels. I froze in front of a psychic presence.

[· · · · Min Joon? [What's wrong?]

Parvasse asked in my backpack.

I asked him evil. Parvasse said it was impossible to observe the whole world! Then what is this!

Only then did Parvasse cry out as if he noticed something.

[· · · oh!]

There was a look at me. Just as I felt pain when I held my hand in hot water, I felt the other person's emotions as soon as I was exposed to that look.

chaotic, funny, anxious, boring, astonishing, curious, wanting to stop, expecting, cruel, unbearable, miserable. Among the other emotions I have experienced, a mass of unrealistic emotions that are not comparable passed through my skin.

Parvasse panics and says:

[Uh · · · How? The seeds in your chest are not his, so the power of Echoes doesn't work!]

At that moment, someone cut off Parvash's mind and spoke into my head.

Uh, you're here again?

Shit! Shit! Oh, shit!

You must have crossed the line while I was sleeping. Good timing. Can you take a look at me for a second?

At the same time as his words echoed in my heart, the land that stood there began to move beneath my feet.

‘ · · · · · ·! ’

I scream without sound in my heart. I realized I couldn't breathe anymore. After losing all his senses, he flies like a sucker at a hundred meters altitude.

I checked the direction closely. North.

It was self-evident what would be at the end of this journey I was being drawn to. I could see it in my two eyes that I had risen above the high altitude. Destination by others, within walking distance of the original few days.

There is a huge silvery forest covering the horizon.

* * *

The night is deep. The moon shakes cold over the river. Yooseong came out of the water and sat on a bench in Han River Park.

He didn't know how to hide his body. It's a rare place, but I brought some company just in case. He was a good alcoholic in the art of concealment.

The shield hides the benches where they sit side by side. A long nose wraps the bronze drink and lifts it up. The scroll fills the glass.

A long beak opens and a heavy voice flows.

“The wind is full of sparkling bullets and smells of iron, and the light of the stars in the sky is like crumbs. The only thing you can enjoy as a fog is that it's only been a few months. ”

Yue Yue received a lament from the scroll as a toast.

They both throw out what they have in their mouths. The scroll asked with the glass down.

“By the way, why do you keep staring at me like that? ”

There was no answer either. The scroll moves quietly instead of urging the leading man to speak. Among the three pairs of finely folded black wings, a feather was drawn from the wings of the left wing. And I'm going to bring it close to the bottle.

“Song, you better put that nasty thing back in. ”

He said the waterfall did not even turn his gaze towards the scroll.

“If you get a little high, your mouth will open. ”

“I don't need it. How could he drink to lose his mind? ”

Hmm, I thought you didn't see it. The scroll swallows the horse inside. Then, with a shriveled face, he shed his feathers in the wind. As the winds of the river gushed, the feathers flew to the bluff of the Han River and fell to the surface.

Then the feathers crumble like black clouds and melt into the river. Purification was initiated by the artifact of Yoon Min-jun who judged it to be a contaminant. Feeling a subtle magic force rising from the bottom of the river, the scroll said.

“That look is a bit stupid. You make a beast like that out of something as good as alcohol. ”

“Would that feather have melted into a dizzy liquor? Isn't it normal for a human being to lose his mind with a drop of water? It's not a lot to judge poison. Anyway, don't even think about mixing that weird stuff with the liquor we drink. ”

“Okay, I get it. ”

Then I thought to myself,

“By the way, is it true that that horrible master has entered that space? ”

“Yes. The gatekeepers were patrolling the river. ”

“Is that what you've been watching? ”

Yue finally opened his eyes and looked at his drinking companion from the gap in the space he was constantly looking at.

“I want to show Song-dong. But you won't be able to see it anymore than Mac. ”

“Are you saying that you were looking at your soul? ”

Yue nodded.

“I can see it in my eyes because I'm focused. No matter how high Yoon Seon's magic is, it was too much to create a shield to stop the movement of the soul. ”

“What does that mean? ”

“It's not long since you moved here, won't you say something strange? So I kept it in my memory and looked carefully. So it's obvious. ”

The eyes of the superior have become more advanced.

“I don't know what kind of connection those souls are sucking into that space. ”

“If you just suck your soul in, you're not the one who bought it. You're pretty old now, too, aren't you? Can you see the soul of the dead? ”

“At my level right now, it's possible to focus on the spirit. Mack Elder, who has lived a very long time, seems to see the flow of all souls around him at a glance. ”

“I feel a little uncomfortable with that. By the way, my soul sucks in? You're not joining the Ring of the Circle in this world? What happens then? ”

Yue shakes his head and replies.

“I don't know. ”

The scroll quietly raises its head and raises its glass.

“Anyway · · ·. ”

His voice was low.

“I don't know how many souls are sucked into that world, but I have to pray for them. so that you can join the Ring of Yun without losing a star in that world. ”

“Probably not? As long as there are no evil ones like dragons in your world. ”

The scroll hit Mac and the glass instead of the word of consent. Yue thought with a drink in his mouth.

Strange things that happened when the dragon disappeared. Is this a series of anomalies caused by the absence of dragons, or should the world be seen as part of the process of returning to normal due to the disappearance of dragons?

The answer was unknown.

Recently, I have been asking God every time I sacrifice. I welcome the solidarity of the upheaval that is taking place in this world. But the answer didn't come back.

Oil murmurs into the water.

‘I'd rather ask God about dragons. At least I get the same answer every time. ’

The Sacrifice of the White Book is a time of historic answers. When the priest asks a question, God answers.

Whenever the Eucharist was sacrificed, it was asked like a ritual.

How long must those who cross the wall live in bondage to the Dragon Convention? What is the identity of the dragon? When will that dragon die and disappear so that we can return to the continent?

And every time, the same answer that came back to the many priests of the former Yusuf was heard in Yusuf.

Yooseong muttered in his mouth the answer of God he had always heard.

“Is it encroached upon or encroached upon? Evolve or not evolve. As soon as you qualify for this cleavage, you will have all the answers, my priest. ”
