Hermit Wizard

The two eyes that looked at me disappeared, leaving behind a huge mountain without a word. When did you have the conversation?

I looked at the mountain in front of me for a while. At first I didn't get a good look, but now it's obvious. I saw the old man lying beside me.

Looking back, I can see more of what I didn't notice.

The ridge behind Margot's shoulders looks like the head of a bum with his chin bent on his forefoot. Of course, if there were such a big tiger in the world, the building would collapse at once.

There's another one. That toe-like mountainside is Margot's body, but the mountainside that leads beyond that looks like the head of a bird. It's not just a bird, it's a bird with three heads in one trunk.

For a while, I spoke with a smile that I did not know the meaning of.

“Now, let's go back. ”

* * *

Me and Yooseong walked back on the path they had been on (virtuous).). I'm glad the story is going well. I'm almost sure I'll ask for more help in the future. It's just a conversation you might have heard on TV, which you've never had before.

I was awkward because I realized that I was doing nothing to what I thought I was saying to adults in social life. I've never talked to humans of this kind before.

After a while, I walked back into the village. This means that the gatekeepers are not far from where they first laid us.

I felt different just by looking at the road I had just walked. The art side feels like a piece of art in my own eyes. Most curiously, there were indeed many paintings and abstractions, but nothing sprung naturally.

The alleyway is still quiet.

“Most of the time during the day you study or meditate. ”

“Yes. It's like most of the things that cross the wall. ”

“Who told you that? ”

Yooseong paused, and immediately shook his head.

“Not really. It's kind of a natural ambiance.We focus mostly on developing our own techniques and abilities, except for our leisure time. ”

The more I heard the story, the more I knew it was what I talked to Parvash about. Society with extremely low need and frequency of production activities.

Resources that cannot be obtained from the outside (especially malt food) have been procured in bulk around Jeju Island once every few decades.

“When I was in Jeju, when I saw it as an outing, I was a little off the island for procurement. Then all of a sudden, that vast world appeared in front of your eyes, so you won't die because there's no such thing as restraint? ”

Eventually, at this point today, it will sound like many residents are wandering around the village instead of remaining in the village, depending on their activities to enhance security through reconnaissance and meet their intellectual needs.

There are fewer inhabitants compared to space, but the town is more empty.

Thinking about it, I wondered.

“But I heard Garam used to say that moving the village ashore is because the backlog is already saturated. That's a lot more space than I thought. ”

“Ah, that saturation doesn't mean that the space is full. ”

“Yes?”

“As the town settled in the backcountry and the number of inhabitants increased, this land also had to be stronger and more powerful. I don't know if you noticed, but this land is more than just a support for this town on the ground. ”

Essential for survival. For example, it seems to talk about the power to maintain air, water, light, etc.

“Every time the number of residents who have captured the site increases exponentially, the power needed to maintain the village increases. The stronger the power of the earth in the White Rock, the faster the energy of Hanlasan, who was in charge of the world, was weakened. It was not enough to procure all the power on its own, so I had to borrow it. I'm sorry, but that mountain is now like a dead mountain that has lost almost all its energy. ”

That energy probably refers to the primitive planetary energy. Energy that is the material of magic power.

“Huh? So, Hangang · ·? ”

“I don't think the river floor around here is exactly the same after all these years. ”

After a while, he talked about his plans for the future and said,

“Would it have been embarrassing for you to keep asking the same question? Yoon Seon.”

“You mean to be a priest? It's not an easy choice for me. ”

What do I get for being a priest of the land of blood and oil?

The possibility of obtaining the necessary information is an agent. I don't want to tell you anything about the Old Testament right now.

It's only divine power to get useful spells in return for losing them.

Do you want to think about it when this world is really ruined? It could be an alternative to fleeing beyond the dimension. If you bring only your family and you're isolated from the outside, but you have to be in an ideal place to survive.

But in return, in the distant future, the fragrance I made might literally cling to the ideal and become unstoppable. Is the drainage system prepared for that future? I recall the image of Margot I had just seen and the footsteps of the animals around her.

“It seems like you have a good look at Dr. Yoon. So I want to propose twice in a row. ”

“Ah, yes. ”

I was submerged in my thoughts and replied with a dry mouth to the words of an outstanding man.

“I want you to know that it is only because of your sad heart that you are proposing again. It is not a greed to increase one more priest. ”

I nod.

“Anyway, I hope you understand that Margo encouraged you with pure concern. ”

“Yes, I'm not mistaken. ”

“And anyway. ”

Then, Yooseong murmured as if he did not know.

“When I was convinced that I had disabled all the Dragon Remnants. And if enough time passes to reveal our presence in front of humans, we may no longer have to maintain this town. ”

His face, which he said so, seemed to be filled with a bit of water and a bit of hope.

“The priesthood in the White Book is one of the leading priesthood, right? ”

Yue nodded.

“I see.”

The answer between me and Yooseong continued for a while and I could hear more stories.

There are a few priests who serve the same god in the Book of Revelation, but they are all retired priests, except one who is the current priest.

I recall the punishment of the mountain behind Margot again.

“It means he's the only priest in the world, the only priest in the world. So, Margo, are you the priesthood of the battlefield? ”

“More than that. He was the first priest. ”

“Ah, then you have face-to-face with the Apostle. ”

“Yes. He said he came right after he crossed the wall. ”

The apostle Margot met was not bound by the channel, but the messenger of a modern god, even in those days when this dimension was isolated. She was rewarded by the Apostle and became perhaps the first priest on earth to serve ‘the earth of blood and oil'.

The faith in serving him was the first to be rooted in this world.

“I kept wondering, but in the backgrounder, it feels like there's no other name for God. ”

Instead of invoking the true name of a god who has been ordained by a wizard or a priest who has devoted himself to faith, he puts the common name of that civilization in his mouth. It goes beyond the mere meaning of aliases to function as spells.

In my case, the name I used to call to borrow the power of the ‘Star Wind Swimmer' was Dryflos, and the name in my prayers was Purbagios, when Parvashu was a priest of the ‘Scriptures without the Last Chapter’. These are all the names that Parvasse had originally called.

The reason why we have to do this is because we have to maintain a reasonable distance as long as we have a relationship with that god in any way. To avoid being contaminated by being associated with more than necessary while calling out your name.

On the other hand, there is no known deception, as the 'land of blood and oil’ was not served at the level of Parvasse. Knowing your real name is through an academic record.

I probably asked because I wanted to have a nickname for him in the white book. Surprisingly, Yooseong shook his head.

“You mean there are no names other than your real name. ”

“Nothing.”

Were there no other gods in contact with them, so there was no need to distinguish between them?

Parvasse sent me an idea.

[You sound like the only God in this limited group.]

"The people here don't know the existence of other gods, do they? Yue knew about you somewhat. I called you the one who touched the bookmarks of the Bible without the last chapter. ’

Nevertheless, it does not make a distinction, because God, apart from ‘the land of blood and oil’, does not care if he calls his real name anyway. I don't serve.

[I'm sure it is. Wait a minute, by the way.]

At that time, Parvasse asked him about his intention of reaching out to the water.

[How did you know the name of the god I serve? His Apostle has never come down to this world. You can see it's a world where there's no connection to academic records.]

“I asked the god I serve. ”

At that time, when Garam and the Pearl House were staying in our house, Yooseong asked God about us through sacrifice in the White Book.

By the way, the question of the Old Testament must have been very generous, but the information about the other gods was very generous, right?

[What did you say about me?]

“Tell me the name of the stranger, and the elder is the one who received power from him. ”

It refers to the power to access academic records.

[And?]

Yooseong seemed to ponder for a while and said carefully.

“The power remains, but as a priest, it is an imperfect fragment.”

This sounds like a loss of divine power as it is spiritualized.

[And again?]

I remember what he said. ‘One who stands at the end of the history of a world.’ I used to say. Now I know what it means. I mean Immediately,

“The world you originally came from is no longer there. ”

Parvasse kept his silence for a while, and then confronted him with a deliberate thought.

[Exactly. Even if the connection is weak, it doesn't seem to interfere with the observation. No, precisely because you asked me a question, it's likely that you only noticed us. I can't believe I got there with just one look. Is God a god?]

His emotions were surprisingly overwhelming. Is it too long ago?

I heard the word of God, "Dryflos," "Adeligos," which I put in my mouth. Civilizations written in these languages were destroyed a long time ago.

In fact, it was not merely the destruction of civilizations. Parvasse told me after that. The Mo Dimension, where he was originally born and raised, has already vanished. He became a spirit, flowing into another world, and he has been around for a long time.

It was only on that day that I met Parvash and learned more than a decade had passed.

· · · Hmm?

But it's strange to think about it now. Why hasn't Parvash told me this story for so long?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Strange things don't stop here.

Parvashe taught me magic and told me about the MoD hundreds and thousands of times. In the meantime, is it normal that you never told me that the world doesn't exist?

Isn't this hidden from me no matter how much you look at it?

Farvash and Yooseong continue to talk about the answer from God. But it didn't come right into my ear.

Confusing. Suspicious. And the biggest disguise that overwhelms all of these questions is · · ·!

How have I never thought this through, or doubted Parvasse?

I felt the thought of being involved in a row, as if it were sand coming into my mouth and sweeping my brain roughly. It's awkward and strange.

‘Parvasse, do you suspect? ’

This solitude sits heavily in the heart, like a scar on a skin that has not yet been opened. A horrible disguise. The door to the basement opens that I've never opened before. In the damp darkness, the trunk of consciousness pierced sharply.

From the moment I first saw Parvash, at the age of eight, I realized that I had never doubted or trusted Parvash.

I remembered the day when the Savior of Silver Rim gave me his name. As he stutters his memory, his mind resounds again in his head. And immediately after that, I recalled the sensation that something ripped from my deep bottom and seemed to be blowing in a cool breeze.

Let's see your floor.

What, did you put all this stuff in your heart? Absolute trust? ’

It's true that it has affected you, but it's not really you.

I took a silent step without saying a word for a while.
