Hermit Wizard

Kim Kyung-hwan thought of it as a stupid head. What's that all of a sudden?

“We already know the real xenophobia. A proven alien who came from a different world beyond the channel. Kaifu.”

He nods slowly. Yellow Forest said without turning its gaze forward.

“The experience you had with Kaifu at the training camp, and the experience you had with the IRASER. Make a good comparison. Most of you may have talked about it in your dreams, but once the eLaser appears, your dreams will look like reality, so you can think of them easily. ”

It was true. The moment he appeared, the dream turned into an unbroken grapefruit. It was rare to blur or not remember as well as other dreams.

Kim Kyung-hwan recalls the conversation he had with Iraser. Twenty-three eyes that looked at themselves. One small mouth. A strange voice that was in a dream, but that sounded vivid. Soon he could notice what the Ecliptic Forest was trying to say.

“· · · No way? ”

“Yes. What was the biggest difference between a Kaifu and an Iraser? Leave teaching methods and think about when the conversation gets longer. Focus on what you're saying and think about it. ”

He covered his head with his hands and said in a groaning.

“Yeah, it was totally different. Oh, my God.”

Kaifu and ILaser. The biggest difference between the two. · · · ·.

Yellow Forest said in a cold voice.

“It's been a little over a year since the channel first opened. Heterosexuals also have limitations on learning languages. It's not just a question of words or grammar. Cultural background in a sentence. Knowledge of the world called Earth. In order to have a smooth conversation, these things need to be backed up. ”

She joins the horse.

“When I talked to Instructor Kaifu, I always said it with words in mind. Kaifu uses telepathy, so we didn't have a problem understanding it, but the opposite direction was a problem. We spoke in a nurturing way, and Kaifu had to learn and understand that language. In fact, I think having acquired that much in such a short time is more of a genius. ”

The young man nods without strength.

“No, by human standards, you're a genius. It would have been possible to roll your head as well as you would have been a wizard. Because they are nobles, they must have been used to learning and studying something. ”

The eclipse shrugs.

“But no matter how genius, there is an absolute time limit. So I avoided words I didn't understand. Rather, there was no problem with the professional terminology of magic, but when we talked about other topics, we had to select the right words to speak. ”

“· · · Yes. That's right.”

Like when speaking Korean against a foreigner, I had to pick an easy one. Make it easy for Kaifu to understand. Otherwise, it was hard to understand.

“I don't know if you've heard of it, but one of the most frequent troubles in training camps was related to tolerance. The trainees‘ head hurts like a habit in class. ’The Kaifu instructors were frightened and took it very seriously. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan was late and never went through it himself, but he had heard of it.

“In their civilization, having a headache doesn't mean having a headache by understanding a difficult concept, it just means feeling really physical pain. Do you know what the most common case of a Kaifu feeling headache without trauma is? It's infected with a larvae similar to those of Paris called Salimikenia. The larvae invade the body through the ear and then scatter inside the skull. Yeah, like a brain digging maggot. ”

The larvae seemed to be the object of tremendous fear and vigilance for Kaifu.

“When the Kaifu instructors first heard about the trainees' headaches, they were frightened and turned over. ”

The larvae were incredibly fast. The Yellow Forest followed the explanation with a calm voice.

“· · · From this very minor area, misunderstandings and difficulties arose. Not just different nationalities, different races. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan already understood what she was trying to say.

“By the way, ”

The Yellow Forest looks like a confirmation killing.

“When you talk to an e-laser, have you ever felt that uncomfortable at all? Did he ever ask you about the concept because he didn't understand what you were saying? ”

No, I didn't. Not once.

Kim Kyung-hwan's face was twisted.

“At first, I wondered if you'd read my thoughts. But over time, I found out. Reading minds is not that simple. Much more so than our opponents who learned magic and strengthened their mental barriers. ”

Tilt your head and talk. Her gaze turned to the air.

“So the next thing I thought, maybe it's because it's a dream. Because it's a special environment called a dream, I thought it might leak out of my mind. Because the magic that appears in other people's dreams is something I can't figure out. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Then, the day that Hung Lung was raided, I had the first conversation with an e-laser in real life. The place was no longer a dream. At the time, I thought this was a little weird. I couldn't take any more doubts. ”

She was talking.

“It was the same after escaping the shield of Huneng. I felt it a few times. The eLaser's language skills are too perfect. Understanding what I'm saying, speaking for myself. Either way. ”

Her eyes were shining.

“It's not just that there are no errors in words. Although, the pronunciation was a little unclear and clumsy. Your voice is so unusual that you wouldn't have noticed it so easily. But don't be fooled by blurred pronunciation or unique voices, just think of the sentence itself. You'll realize it's incredibly smooth. ”

I had no choice but to convince her.

“Is that all? You saw me, right? A talking fox and a bear. ”

“· · · I saw it. ”

“Those two were the words that people in some drama would use. The eLaser didn't have any difficulty talking to them. I'll say it again. It's only been over a year since the channel opened. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“If you think about the time frame, it's too much. After all, it means you've been living in this world since the channel opened. ”

Yellow Forest was a horse.

“Not for a year, but for a long enough time, probably in this country. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan did not notice the facts she pointed out.

For a long time he was being taught, he just thought there would be some way. Even though he was an alien, there was no impediment to communicating with him because he thought he was a race superior to Kaifu. The irradiator, it's the irradiator.

I've never considered it more deeply. I just might have avoided thinking deeply about something I didn't want to think about.

The Yellow Forest speaks with conviction.

“I came to this conclusion. At least, it's a lie to tell a story because it's from another world. ”

Nod and put your strength into your own words.

“Like a fox or a bear that I saw that day, maybe a yoke or something rooted in the world. That fox, he had nine tails, right? Why else would there be no gumiho in the yard where the aliens are? The eLaser was guessing something like that. · · · But after listening to you today, it became clear. If that jellyfish's true, it was just a human being. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan covers his face with both hands. And murmured in a distressing voice.

“· · · I'm an asshole! ”

What the e-laser said hovers in his ear. Did you say that the goal of that race is to spread magic to other worlds? The mission of the race?

Eraser has already lied to himself. It was absurd to think that there is only one human being who learns his magic in this world. The yellowish forest sitting right next to him was the proof.

No, now that you've come to think about it, in the first place, if magic propagation is meant to be, what do you need to pass it on to just one person? What if the only predecessor dies or goes wrong?

I had already lied openly, but there was no other reason to lie. for example, the identity of the laser itself.

“Aah! ”

I was so pathetic that I was angry. I was angry and darkened before my eyes. The body is feverish and sweaty, and the wet shirt sticks firmly to the back.

Kim Kyung-hwan squeezed his face into the palm of his hand and mumbled at what he couldn't understand. Then suddenly he raises his head and says,

“· · · · · But it's weird. How can a human use such magic? It's been over a year since the channel opened, as you said. I don't know which races have learned magic, but for only a year! ”

“The origin of magic is not a different dimension, you fool. Human beings called eLasers used magic before the channel opened, maybe. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan was a possibility I had never imagined.

“There might have been a side of the Earth that we didn't know about. Before the channel opened, there must have been a society of foxes and bears. I wonder how the eLaser is intertwined with the back of the world. You might have learned magic from them. long before the channel opens. ”

“That's ridiculous. It's so absurd.”

“It's ridiculous for the world to go back now anyway. ”

“If you're a fox or a bear, don't you think an e-laser is an idiot after all? It's weird what it looks like anyway. Why did Karaderina call an e-laser human? ”

Hwang Soo-rim mentioned one more fact that Kim Gyeong-hwan did not know.

“The look must have been magically transformed. And, in the first place, it's not the same group as the animals, it's kind of a collaborative relationship. ”

Huangsoo Forest has been in regular contact with a scroll called Song Hyun for some time and has been poisoned. To create a situation in which the government would be forced to terminate the contract and let her go.

After fleeing Hung Leung, Iraser wanted the Huangryong Forest to leave the government. Long-term plans to spy on the government's movements would have been enough for one Kim Kyung-hwan, and Huangsoo Forest was speculating so.

Whenever I met Song Hyun, Yellow Forest asked me something like this. The scroll often avoided a clear answer, but there was not much information to shed without his knowledge. Song Hyun has told several stories that are interpreted in such a way that their organization and the laser cooperate and are not part of the same group.

Kim Kyung-hwan, who had been clearing her head for a long time, said.

“The race is human, what the hell is its identity? What is the purpose? If you ask the eLaser directly, · ·? ”

“To what?”

Yellow Forest frowns and speaks.

“You want to dig up a statue? Have you lost your mind? Did you not see what that monster seed did to Hung Lung? Honestly, I'm more scared of e-lasers than the lunatics who raided the training camp that day. It doesn't matter if it's human or not. I don't know what you did there in the aftermath of that crazy spell, but you saw that, too! ”

Kim Kyung-hwan trembled. That day, the irradiation at the Huneng Training Camp was literally close to collapsing a huge space within a few kilometers of it. The world collapsed. An unidentified force that ravaged the training camp with overwhelming force was also wretched like a rat in front of a cat in front of an e-laser.

“You don't have to resist planting for nothing. As you may know, I made a deal with the laser, and the magic restraint hasn't been broken yet. I'm done doing what I want with him. I honestly don't know what the author is or what his real purpose is, but I do believe that he should keep this contract. There would have been a much easier way to control us. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan did not dispute her opinion. In order to write it simply in the long run, there would have been many easy options to mobilize force, in addition to these complicated and annoying methods. From the point of view of the e-laser everywhere. I don't know why, but he felt like he was trying to comply to the best of his ability with what was meant by a contract.

“Again, it doesn't matter who you are. But I need to share the information I learned today. ”

“Hmm?”

“That jellyfish is looking for a human with an open channel in his chest. You don't have to tell the eLaser. With a metal plate on his face. If you don't keep it a secret and notice it later, the afterstorm will be even more terrifying. · · · Maybe we're not getting you out of the government in the first place to prepare for this? Is that too much elixir? ”

I can only speculate like that, but I don't know the exact reason.

“Anyway, is there a way to get in touch with the laser? ”

She nods quietly.

“I'll tell you your story as it is. ”

“· · · · · Yes. ”

“By the way, hey, Kim Kyung-hwan. Let me ask you something. ”

“What?”

When his complexion darkens as if his mind were complicated, the eclipse asks him.

“I have a contract because I want something, and I'm still helping the laser, but should I be called? Anyway.”

Shrug.

“But what kind of contract did you have with the e-laser? ”

“· · · Let me know first. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan did not open his mouth easily. The Yellow Forest flickers without changing its eyes.

“I can't find them with my powers, even if I chew them to death. Instead of helping me and teaching me magic, I'm doing some of the tasks that the laser tells me to do. ”

And there are exactly two more missions ahead. Until the story was so detailed, Yellow Forest turned to the question.

“What about you?”

Then Kim Kyung-hwan replied.

“· · · It's like you. Eraser decided to teach me magic. To the level my limits allow. ”

Nowadays, no teaching has been followed, as there is a unilateral provision in favour of one side that the number and frequency of lessons can be adjusted according to the circumstances of the laser.

“Then what's the price? What kind of mission should you be on? ”

“· · · · · No. ”

“What?”

“There is no such provision as you. · · · Just keep your secrets about the eLaser well. ”

“What?! ”

I shouted like the wilderness was ridiculous.

“Oh, fuck, what's so unfair! Why are you so comfortable? You have a free lesson or a dinner! ”

The Ecliptic Forest felt a cry rising in her heart. There are two missions left to say, and two directives left to be precise. This was an important difference in meaning.

In fact, the boundaries defining one mission were very blurred. It was counted as a 'one time mission’, even if it imposed a few pages of code of conduct and procedures on one instruction. Again, it was an unfair contract in favour of e-lasers unilaterally.

I had no choice but to lament in my heart. This is so discriminatory. Why did you do such a favor to him?!

“Hmm?”

The Ecliptic Forest raises its eyebrows in curiosity. I heard the good news that Kim Kyung-hwan contracted on better terms than anyone else, but his face color was not good.

“· · · I may not have been very useful in the first place. It's a mission. You don't have to worry about how to use it. ”

Upon hearing that, the Yellow Forest had a vague expression that was not easy to tell whether it should be angry or not.

Oh, my God, you son of a bitch. Instead of spitting out the words in his head, Huangsoo Forest comforted Kim Kyung-hwan in his own way.

“Enough. I'm guessing what a writer like that thinks and lives. Maybe he's a human being, but he's a monster old man who's lived for over a hundred years. What's your real name, Merlin? You may have lived too long and almost lost your humanity. You have to do that to have that power. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan smiles bitterly.

“Yeah, that's a possibility. At least not our peers. ”

Hwang Soo-rim promised to convey Kim Gyeong-hwan's words to Iraser again. She then looses the shield that surrounds her. In the eyes of the guards, it seemed like the two of them were sitting side by side without a word so far.

To avoid unnecessary doubts, Kim Kyung-hwan acted as if he had barely had the courage to speak out. A few words of salutation dispersed into the atmosphere without a soul. The Yellow Forest, which can no longer be disguised as a shield, bows its head and trembles like a frightened, atrophied man. In that state, Kim Kyung-hwan's words were not spoken properly and sat still.

Until Kim Kyung-hwan finally said goodbye as though he was tired of not responding, the two of them sat side by side for a few more minutes. Kim Kyung-hwan is a safe house set up by the government, and the Huangsoo Forest has moved a step in the direction of the house he lived in before he was admitted. Each of the bodyguards was wary of the surroundings. Neither of them looked back.
