Hermit Wizard

78. Invitation of the Secretary-General (4)

Sitting down on the ground, the gatekeepers gave us a short greeting. Then he jumped right back up and disappeared beyond the surface.

Glug

As soon as he stepped inside the village, Yue returned to his original Mac. Then stretch your back and turn on the base.

“Oh, I'm going to live now. ”

I asked him.

“Well, it's uncomfortable being human, isn't it? ”

Yue replied with a long snoring.

“Yes, I feel like I'm wearing something that doesn't fit. ”

I know it's time for a magical transformation. If you turn into a person of a similar body shape, at least it's okay, but if you turn into a fake god with a big difference, your uncomfortable senses are heavily pressed. I don't get tired easily anymore.

Parvasch explains that the nervous system is easily exhausted. Because you have to move the unfamiliar flesh.

The fatigue would be even greater if the Mac had a different body than the human.

“Those gatekeepers knew exactly where we were going, and they only brought us to the entrance to town. I'm still afraid to get close to Margo. ”

“Yes? Why? ”

“I've been hit a lot before. ”

Ah · · ·,

Yue looked around for a while and checked his position and asked me.

“Do you have a dream of flying in the sky? ”

I now know that I can make my dreams come true. I shake my head.

“It's very useful, so if you put it together, you write it down right away. ”

Especially when going in and out of Hungryong.

“I don't have anything to put together right now. Everyone sleeps outside these days, so I can't help it. Let's take a walk.”

Me and Yooseong headed north. I can see the winds surrounding the town from a distance. Our destination was there.

I took a step inside the village and said,

“Still impressive, this landscape. ”

“Your city is like this in our eyes. ”

It leads to alleys full of beautiful architecture. There are many different murals or sculptures in the snowy enclosure, and there is an energy that is not pleasant to a single figure or sculpture. The area corresponding to the intersection was often similar to the tower shown in the National Book.

Even though I was walking through the village, I could not see the villagers coming and going.

“It's very quiet. ”

“It's still daylight, so most of us will meditate or train. ”

“There are a lot of people who are turning into human beings these days. There's also a lot of reasons why people go out. I don't know if it goes too far, but moving around the channel comes to my attention. ”

“Exactly. There are a lot of people who can be blunt as humans nowadays wandering around the country. Of course, not everyone went out to play. He's a scout. ”

“The guardians of the Great Convention? ”

“Yes. Even if you're a brilliant potter, you can't keep an eye on the whole country, can you? ”

This is already part of the story.

“But I can't deny that you ran out on that scout, too. ”

“· · ·, but it would be amazing. ”

“Most people don't have the experience of human society except for those who are called elders, who were the first to cross the wall before the dragon appeared, and who were born as two in those days. It's something you need to understand. ”

After fighting the dragon, I said I had to live on the island. I nod.

“Some of them are unusual, like the pearl house. He was born an ordinary mortal in the age of dragons and crossed the wall on his own land. Especially after crossing the wall, the pearl houses have been mixed in human society for some time. ”

“Oh, so we had a relationship with humans. ”

“Say yes. Apart from the elderly and the pearl house, many residents spent most of their lives in the backlog. “

“And the water?”

“Yes.”

It's a great jugular vein ( ). I thought it had been a long time since I had the title Priest, but the water supply is still in the senior ranks.

“So I'm on my way to the human world from time to time, whether that journey is long or short, with the exception of those who are as essential in town as the elders, me, and the gatekeepers, or who are not good at blunt force, or who are reluctant to leave for a number of reasons. ”

When I heard that, I wondered. Quietly give the idea to Parvash.

‘If you go all the way out there, it won't be possible to call it an economic activity in this town? Oh, are you a transcendent race anyway?

[Even though the species Mack here doesn't seem to be in constant need of a lot of food like a normal mammal.]

I agreed with Parvasse. Garam said the same thing.

[If you subtract an expression from an essential expression, expression, or state, you are the owner and owner. · ·,]

‘Either way, magic will solve some problems. ’

[Yes. Maintenance will be almost perfect after production, so you won't have to constantly rebuild, and the resource consumption will be that slow.]

If you don't care about fashionable things, you could literally wear a suit for thousands of years and build a house. The artifact levels I received were also in excellent condition.

[Even so, if you have insufficient resources, you will be able to meet them from the outside all at once, and eventually cling to the village so that it is an essential economic activity that needs to be focused for a long time. If you're sure about the town's defenses, you don't have to have more people left.]

I asked Yuyu.

“So the fact is, you want to go outside a little bit more often, don't you?"

“I have work to do. ”

Hydroelectric water seems to fit into the axes of those who play an essential role in the village, for example.

“Sacrament and stuff? ”

“The priest of the White Book is the only one who can hear the word of God. ”

In fact, me and Parvasse assume that there is no reason for him to refrain from going out other than as a sacrifice. I look down at the dirt I'm stepping on.

We are now walking out of a densely populated area, on a wide field. I see cows grazed far away. Those are ordinary livestock that can't sleep over the walls.

Even in this vast natural area, the backlog was part of the area.

“I felt it last time, but the air is really nice here. ”

I take a deep breath. The sun is warm and the air is cool. It's just the temperature at which life works. And the air was so clean and delicious. It can't be compared to downtown Seoul.

“In fact, when we go out, we feel so much bullets and coppers. ”

“It's worth it. ”

It wasn't the other dimension, and I thought it might be the first time to walk on this vast earth on Earth.

By the way,

"It's awkward. ’

This vast yet plain-looking land sinks to the bottom of the Han River. It would not have been strange if the village had been narrower than this, and if it had been a dusty land left under magical lighting.

It is understandable that this town is concealed and isolated by a shield. The shield surrounding this space was certainly magical. They say it contains the power of the elders of the village.

The unexplained part was the town's ‘existence’ itself beyond its shield.

The land that runs beyond the horizon. This vast land, which is within a 4-5 kilometer radius of what I see, is within the width of a river?

You were even in backcountry before, weren't you? Within that crater, about five to 600 meters in diameter.

Yes, it can be seen as a magical power to squeeze space.

But what is even weirder is the strange pleasures this town is showing.

Whining

Once again, a refreshing breeze blew. I looked up at the sky sweeping away the sweat on my forehead.

The sun has not risen, but the sun is felt, the wind blows, the soil smells good, and rivers of unknown origin flow into the lake.

There is no magic that allows the outside and isolated environment to remain in this good condition. As I have confirmed, this space is not illusory, it exists, and it is not connected to somewhere outside the river through spatial distortions. This is definitely an isolated area, located on the bottom of the Han River.

All of this was said in the end.

This town would have borrowed the power of God.

It was thought to be the power of the god who was carrying the oil. Perhaps the priestly role of the White Book is not limited to simply giving and receiving God and the answer, and the power to maintain this town is within the priestly power.

Yooseong is a priest who serves the infamous god, "The Earth of Blood and Oil." In addition, he is the only priest in the town.

“Today we will not meet all the elders of the village as we were then. ”

“Is that so?”

“Today, you said that you are looking at Senior Teacher Mago Yoon. ”

“Aah.”

Margot. It's a memorable name. No, forget it. I can't.

After such a long walk, we stopped at the entrance of the foothills.

“Sleeping.”

Mac flatters, and trims his ears.

"Mago Elder!"

A cry goes out.

“Cough! Margo! We're here! ”

The tide sounded toward the top of the mountain. Then, answering the call,

Lightning!

The mountain opened its eyes.

Currrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

It was not a metaphorical expression. San Jose is located at the end of the plain behind the village. At some point in the hillside, where we are crossing through a gentle curve, two eyes have appeared as the ground splits and narrows, looking at us.

It's really white and it's black. The giant eyes contained a pure and clear light.

Food-good! Yikes!

Kuiq! Kuiq!

Dudada!

Mountain birds fly all over the tree-made mountainside. Wildlife roar and roar through the woods.

A long stretch of the mountain twirls a little.

Cureung

Now the form is clearly perceived. Part of the mountain that was before us was lying on the side and looking like an old man with a jaw. An old woman, whose body itself has become part of the hillside, looks down at us.

The irregular waves of trees, seemingly planted in the freezer, were wrinkled foreheads. It was only after the rocks and the dirt were moving that I knew it was my lips.

She opens her eyes and mouth and makes a face while remaining in a lying position. Only the facial area made a remarkable movement.

An old man with a mountain face finally told me. With a roaring voice.

“Kid, have you thought about that? What do you say? Are you ready to join the gods we serve?

“ · · · · · ·. ”

It was a question of omitting greetings and hooking in.

“· · · Hello? I told you at that time, but I don't intend to be his priest, no matter what god I become. ”

“Why?”

I repeated my previous answer.

“I offered sacrifices to various gods and placed orders. When you become a priest of a god, you lose all ties to the rest of the gods. And all the spells are gone. ”

Margot frowns a little. At the same time, there was dirt all the way up there.

“How long are you going to be obsessed with such incomplete relationships? The way you borrow the power of God is a temporary measure in return for the sacrifice. It would be much more efficient to borrow eternal power through faith, obedience, prayer and hymn through divine heart and action. ”

Then Margo spoke. A huge rumble stirs and passes near us.

“Being a priest doesn't mean you can't use magic. Neither do I. It's the same here. Except for the magic that lends power to other gods, you are free to use any magic. ”

“I know that. ”

“I keep asking because it's too bad. Now you know what it means to cross a wall, don't you? I have no idea why you haven't crossed the wall yet, even with that soul. What if I become a priest in this state and drive the rapid growth of my soul? Maybe you deserve to be a resident of our town. ”

It is magic that is most effective at raising the gap of the soul, but it is not the only way. Becoming a priest can also help to raise the spirits.

If magic grows the soul in stages according to the acquisition speed, the Priest's case increases rapidly at the moment when the seal of God is placed on the soul. · · · Of course, it's a problem because of the side effects.

“I think it's better to learn magic now. It's uncertain if you can cross the wall to become a priest. But thank you for the offer. ”

“It's a pity. I asked if there was a human being in our village, other than me. ”

Before the dragon appeared in this world, she shed a sad voice that she was the only human inhabitant in this town.
