Hermit Wizard

* * *

“So let's wrap it up here today. ”

It was said by a representative of the government at the Consultative Assembly. Their gathering place is a single-family home near the border between Seoul and Seongnam. Outside, there is a row of sedans lined with black glossy underneath the building that looks like a typical folk house.

Those who came in that tolerant vehicle were sitting in the living room. The inside of the curtain turned into a plausible conference room. Government officials sitting around a long table. The temperature in the room made me sick.

Kim Kyung-hwan's forehead sweats. It was also because of the temperature in the house, and also because of the tension I felt.

With everyone's eyes focused, he opens his mouth. And I repeated exactly what the First Deputy Minister had just said. Seems like a parrot mimicking a horse. But the important thing was not the act of uttering a sound, but the piece of thought that materialized in Kim Kyung-hwan's head when he spoke.

And the person who read the idea responded.

Agree.

An ejection of the mind was the existence of a hetero sitting on a living room seat that had been transformed into a conference room. No, to be precise, the expression "toponymic" is not appropriate. It was a fluffy single bed that matched her body, not a chair at the end of a long table.

He removed only the brain and a few tissues from the body, but it was still the body of a few times the size of a person. The heterosexuals sitting on the mattress were like a lump of purple jelly that appeared to penetrate the same organs as the brain. Kim Kyung-hwan takes her gaze off her translucent body. She then translated her words towards the government's Consultative Merchant Guild.

“Let's do it. ”

Bloop, another sweat.

The Narrow Merchant Guild exchanges eyes. Karaderina comes down under the mattress with her body fluttering. Then I slowly moved up the second floor. Traces of transparent mucus remain, as if the body of a xenophobic species mopped everywhere it moved.

Turning around the corner leading upstairs, she returned to the resting area. The merchants who were watching him quietly sighed only after the appearance of Karaderina was completely gone.

“Phew. It's over today. ”

“Well done, everyone. ”

The bureaucrats talk to each other and look at each other to see if the tension is resolved. After entering this house, some people lean on their backs for the first time and take their handkerchiefs and steal the sweat of their neck.

“Well done, Wizard. ”

The first to get up from his position and come to Kyung-hwan Kim was the First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Transportation, who was represented by the Narwhal Merchant Guild.

After a time of rapid change, he was not a diplomat in another country, but an experienced diplomat in negotiating with other levels of xenophobia.

The First Deputy Minister reached out to Kim Kyung-hwan. Kim Kyung-hwan got up and shook his hand without any other look.

“Today, our performance is significant. ”

“· · · Yes. ”

“The information Karaderina gives us is just as amazing. Especially on the channel, there was a" seed. "Besides, the information about the enchanted soul wizard is probably unknown to no country but Korea. It's going to be helpful. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan nodded.

Karaderina said that she is a 'torturer’ who serves the Savior. Kim Gyeong-hwan now knew the meaning of the word. What surprised him, in particular, was that the officials involved in the negotiations seemed to have known the meaning of the Old Testament in advance. It's probably information that has been thoroughly controlled by the public so far.

It seems that the control also included the trainee of Hung Leung. But Kim Kyung-hwan was the exception now. The government could no longer exclude him from this information.

The reason was simple. If Kim Kyung-hwan does not provide an interpreter in the negotiations that exchange information with the xenophobics, the negotiations themselves cannot proceed.

Kim Kyung-hwan lifted his right hand and stole the sweat on his forehead. The First Deputy Minister, who looked carefully at the picture, said:

“You must be very tired. But even when you translate a foreign language, you need a lot of focus. Now that the wizard is interpreting Telepathy, ordinary people like us are hard and hard to imagine. ”

“Ah, well, yes. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan didn't deny it.

In fact, the reason he felt extreme fatigue was not because of the act itself of an interpreter. In order to communicate with Karaderina, she needed control of her mind to reveal only what she could reveal. Kim Kyung-hwan had no choice but to concentrate highly in order to prevent it from spreading to a deeper consciousness.

The bureaucrats who didn't even know the details of the principle considered that just Telepathy was not an easy magic for wizards like Kim Kyung-hwan.

The government relied heavily on Kim Kyung-hwan's interpreter. To maintain his condition, I was assisting him with a few people. It was a ritual where even a glass of water did not have to be drank on its own in everyday life.

The First Vice Minister put a meaningful smile in his mouth.

“Thank you all the time. What would have happened without the wizard. It's just amazing to imagine that these days, hahaha. After making contact with the xenophobia, I would have lost all this valuable information. The Wizard is really a treasure of the Republic of Korea. ”

“· · · Ah, well. ”

Looking at him, the First Deputy Minister thought that Kim Kyung-hwan's face was particularly firm today. But I didn't take it seriously. He considered the consumption of mental power to be a big shape.

Kim Kyung-hwan asked in a dry voice.

“Is the wizard, the soul of seclusion, also being sought by the government? ”

“Yes, but I rarely get a clue. ”

As expected, Kim Kyung-hwan muttered.

I keep ringing in my heart in a row of words I can't put in my mouth. But in the first place, you're not the writer you're looking for. · · · To achieve the objective, we call it a monster that tears down and eliminates even a healthy space-time.

Just in case, I left. After the exchange of information, I had no intention of waiting until the xenophobics went on their own expedition. Kim Kyung-hwan swallows words toward the Korean government. You people, don't touch that saint while you're looking for him. I don't want to live in a stateless country.

Looking at his hardened face, the First Deputy Minister says:

“You seem in a lot of bad shape. Let's get you out of here. Let me take a look at the wizard. ”

“Oh, I don't need a couple of things. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan refused. And slowly I woke up from my seat.

Kim Kyung-hwan, walking behind the table, pressed the urge to look back. As soon as Karaderina moved to the second floor, Kim Kyung-hwan moved her hand under the table and attached something small to the furniture's leg. They did not seem to notice the movement.

Is this going to work? Is this right?

Bloop, a drop of sweat flowed again because of the rising tension. The attendant, who saw the figure, gave the handkerchief to Kim Kyung-hwan without hesitation. Following that, other government officials also vacated their posts. There was no one left in the living room like that.

* * *

Everyone sat down on the first floor where the static disappeared. Karaderina was sleeping on the second floor and, according to her wishes, was not presiding over any people in the house. Everyone was just looking inside with a surveillance camera that kept the iron barrel out of the house and placed indoors.

Twinkle!

The place where the change began in that quiet space was the side of the table bridge near Kim Kyung-hwan's seat. The little object he held there was an egg of a creature. An elliptical grain with white light. The size is only rice grains. The surface moves without anyone's observation.

It was the egg of a creature called Shockmim. An embryo in the egg shell ( ) fainted because of Yoon Min-jun's magic just before breaking the egg, and then regained consciousness when the magic passed. and resumed the movement to tear the egg shell according to instinct.

Booooooooooo!

Tear the mucous membranes of the skin with a sharp tong-like mouth. Crawls out and clings to the desk legs. The freshly born Shockmime spreads its wings and dries for a while, then melts transparently into the atmosphere. It began the task according to the order of conduct embedded in the gene.

The shock mime, small enough to understand, was shaped like a tong-shaped mouth and three pairs of wings in a cave with a scallop. But the surveillance camera didn't capture this little creature. Because as soon as I got out of the egg, I cast a transparent boot according to my instincts.

Booooooooo!

The baby's shock is driven up by hunger. He sticks to the floor. And as Karaderina crawled to the ground, she began to eat the dried mucus. It absorbs the concentrated horsepower contained in it.

Square!

It was a horsepower that was hard to see in the ecosystems of the world from which Shokmim came. Nutrients were instantly stored in the body. The shockmime replenishes energy, triggering a sensitive olfactory.

The chick shockmime that just broke the egg is always female. Later, if certain environmental conditions are met, they become males. Shockmimes hatched in Karaderina's temporary residence quickly identified the surrounding environment.

Is there a male around here? Not at all

Am I a pervert myself? It is not.

Is the environment favorable for survival, such as temperature and humidity? Normal.

Is there enough energy stored in your body at the moment? It is.

Is there enough food around here? Very well.

Square! Square! Square!

After confirming this, the shockmime is judged according to the algorithm entered into the gene.

If this is the case, I lay eggs without a male.

Shockmime starts ovulating and lays three eggs, fueling the nutrients accumulated in the body. The embryo that identified the presence of food around it immediately broke the egg and hatched.

· · · Wrinkles!

Three transparent bastards on the floor. Soon I spread my wings, moved around and ate dried mucus and quickly grew up to the size of my mother. It is a rate of reproduction and growth that cannot be sustained in the Earth's ecosystem.

Now, three females were born without mating, and they just copied the mother's genes as they were. A simple act of reproduction where the possibility of evolution is unlikely, rather than a true reproduction of meaning.

Square! Square!

Nevertheless, mother Shockmim chose the option of asexual reproduction. Increasing the number of fully identical individuals increases the number of cases of later sexual intercourse with males.

That is, it has increased the likelihood of mixing its genes with other individual genes and passing them on to the next generation. It continues to reproduce in this way, even if it is merely self-replication, as long as there is food around it.

So that the chicks would lay eggs again, and the chicks born there would lay eggs again, and the shock was blown away in an instant, and they became thousands. There was no longer any dry mucus left on the floor, i.e., food left.

Booooooooooo!

A group of shockmimes, a group of female wingworms, that had increased in number as compared to the first time, flew up to the second floor with a delicious smell.

Booooooooooooooooo!

When I was one, it was a very small sound, but when I gather this much, it produces enough noise. The caraderina inside the house was large enough to be heard, although it was not even heard from the agents who were watching beyond the monitor.

Eventually she woke up. And he cast a colony of many worms, invisibility, coming towards him, but his eyes, which were open to the horsepower circuit, faced a swarm of wingworms covered in the room, which could not be deceived.

And she screams in the spirit.

Shuaaaaaaaaaah!

Scared, Karaderina spits out her humiliation.

What! These filthy bugs!

It was something that did not exist in the world of Karaderina. It's a worm that uses a transparent boot when it's swarming on a waterway like that!

Scary Karaderina tried to wield a swarm of bugs with one of her eighteen legs while unconscious. Then I realize that I don't have legs on my body right now.

But she combines magic in an instant, because the semi-ring tube and the brain that controls magic have come all the way here. The moment you complete your spell to blow up all those bugs!

The crowd felt the air was different. Instinctively stimulating matter drives thousands of females.

‘· · · What. What's wrong with you?’

Thousands of transparent worms that were moving in one place suddenly showed strange movements. It was a phenomenon only seen in the eyes of Karaderina.

What many of those individuals felt at once was the hormones that the males emitted. Female shockmimes begin to dance in courtship when they feel the male hormones. The dance was not completely random, it was a movement of agile difficulty following the induction of the hormones emitted by the males.

And at this moment, each shock mime individual is attracted to a stimulating hormone and begins to make complex movements in the air. And · · ·!

Karaderina spread a sharp notion.

· · ·. Who are you?

She shudders and starts exploring by creating a magical mesh.

What the hell is going on? She advises in vigilance. Transparent worms moving in the air were drawing the texts used by Karaderina's civilization, which could not have been passed on to this open world of channels!

She desperately continues her detection. But it was a blunder. There's not a handful of magic in the vicinity.

· · · Not magic manipulation?

‘What the hell?! ’

She desperately exudes magic. However, nothing is detected either.

If the opponent magically moves this insect, magically sends a message to himself, or fails to do so, he has the confidence to retrace it to determine the material of the opponent.

But I don't really feel anything around here. She never imagined that this was an inducement of movement through the hormones of an unknown creature.

Karaderina creates a shield around her to defend against accidental raids. And the worms in front of my eyes danced in the air and read the texts again.

It wasn't an illusion. It's almost impossible to create such a sophisticated string by chance.

The sentence drawn by the dance of the worms had this meaning.

Why are you looking for a reclusive soul?
