Hermit Wizard

* * *

The journey to find the Savior of the Earth, the Dragon's Soul, was unpleasant.

The navigation magic spread by Imere's spores gave me a milestone. The trail left by the dragon's soul was severed right in front of the injury channel. It was clear to anyone that the soul had moved beyond this.

When I first entered the injury channel, I brought in only two of them, the pearl clan and Garam. The pearl house was a backup to protect me in the event of an unexpected situation, because Garam needed a race to see his soul.

If it had been in his heart, he would have come instead of Garam, but it seemed that the priest was too busy on the journey to another dimension. The other resident, Seol, who was one of the residents I asked for, was not accompanied because he could not go far because of his duties in the village.

Immediately across the channel, Parvasse accessed the academic record. To be precise, it dates back to the fragments of the record that extend into this world. That's how I got an approximate knowledge of this world. It was the same protocol as when I first visited the world of the Savior of the Hidden Realm.

After obtaining some information, Parvasse told me:

[In this world, you can't spray navigational magic the same way you did on Earth.]

It was impossible to apply magic to the stratosphere with the spores of Imere.

Asking me why, he said:

[There was no wizard on Earth to detect the navigational magic you applied. It was a plan that the traffickers would never notice. However, this dimension is different now. If you spray magic the same way, you'll soon realize it and be full of unpleasant creatures. And they have no interest in expressing that unpleasantness as a direct act of violence. · · · And looking at this world, I now understand why the Savior chose the channel of injury.]

I did not dare to anticipate how annoying his answer would be.

Eventually, I had to make a new plan, return to Earth, join the Ecliptic Forest, and then re-enter the channel of injury.

I looked at the giant dragon that fell on the floor and said,

“As long as these guys are definitely sensitive to magic. This time it's been a long way to the nest. But as soon as I blew my power, I turned right here. There was very little to call it a time difference. ”

Parvasse nods.

[Yes. You must be more sensitive to magic than any race. Survival itself is a rare species that relies on magic power.]

For that reason, I was unable to use the method of applying magic to the spores. The magic that can be spread like that is quite simple. It is almost impossible to plant a trick to hide magic power.

If you had spread magic across the stars like Earth, the dragons who lived in this world would have soon realized that. And he must have gone to the counter looking for a wizard who dared to observe himself. Many dragons nest in this world at the same time.

So, instead of scanning the entire star at once, we were forced to choose a way to refine the tracking range and explore it sequentially.

However, there was one achievement. It was the answer to how the Savior's soul would hide in this world. As soon as we learned that there were so many dragons living in this world, we also knew the answer to why the Savior chose this dimension.

I asked Garam.

“Take another look. Is there really only one? He said that he would hide behind the soul of the original owner. ”

Garam frowned.

“You don't believe in my eyes? You said there was only one. ”

“You might not be able to see it in complete hiding. Last night you almost stepped on Parvasse right in front of you! You look faint because you can't see your soul! ”

“Do you think that's a comparable level now? We now know what the Savior means. What I'm looking for now is a soul that has crossed the wall more than once. As soon as the dragon's mental barrier weakens, it is clear that his eyes will burn like the sun. I can't see it in my eyes even if I'm hiding. What I was confused about that night was that the light emitted by the elder god's soul was weaker than the fireflies. ”

Garam stopped talking. Parvasse spilled a mixed self-consciousness.

[Yes, I understand. It must be a weak soul that's not easy to discern. It is not so noticeable to your kind that it distinguishes the soul as distinctly as it does on a dark night.]

“· · · Sorry, Elder. ”

Garam laughed, coughed and spoke.

“There is only one soul in that dragon's body. ”

“Even if the original soul is expelled and only the soul of the Savior remains? ”

“No way. Even though the tribe is a kind, it is a pretty powerful spirit, but I can't see it as much as a savior. No, it's not even worth discussing in the first place. That horn hasn't crossed the wall yet. ”

I grabbed my head again.

“Ouch, Mister! ”

Seeing me like that, Garam frowned.

“Wouldn't it be nice to make it a little more sophisticated? Are all dragons within a 2,000-mile radius the target from here? Can that be called the liquor of exploration? Try to narrow the radius a little bit. ”

I shake my head.

“Impossible. This is the limit if you don't want to be caught by dragons. ”

Moreover, this magic to find the Black Keeper was originally made using the information left in his piece of flesh. And the Black Keeper was evolved from the dragon in the first place. Seeing his soul hidden in the dragon's body, it became more difficult to navigate. It is not easy to distinguish.

After all, there was only one way to find his soul. Find the dragon in the area where the navigation magic is pointed and find the body with two souls in it. The dragon was a living hideout where the soul of the Black Keeper hid.

The yellow-bellied forest, which was silent, asked.

“Can't we just wait for that soul to wake up like this? If you wake up, you'll come out of that body and move. So you're not looking for him? I think it would be better than this madness. ”

Parvasse shakes his head.

[Whatever we do, all we can see is when the soul is asleep. We have to finish everything before we break up.]

Ehh, and the eclipse sighed deeply.

“E-laser. Can't you do something for me? Are you sure you need to find that soul to accomplish one of my missions? Guys, can't we just do it in time? I think it's a pretty convincing condition to help me navigate this for about a year and a half. I really think it's ‘relevant’ and I think it's possible to renew the contract. ”

The Yellow Forest is called an e-laser even after I know I'm human. because he didn't teach me another name to call. I'm taking care not to call my real name.

I answered her bluntly.

“That story is over. ”

And mutter into the air. If you don't find the dragon's soul in a few years, it will be over. The dragon said there was enough time to wake up. It was time to calculate, considering the new body was complete.

At that time, it sounded strange to all of us.

Quarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

The sound of a rough stream pouring into the ground. I've never been there, but it was like the sound of a waterfall I heard on TV.

The Yellow Forest frowned. Even the look on his face got worse, and the pearl house closed its eyes.

And he exclaimed solely because he was full of gods.

“· · · cheap! That dragon poops! Hehe! Hehe! ”

I tried not to see the origin of the sound. I thought I did the math right, but this time the dragon's magic power has been taken to a pretty lethal level. You overlooked the fact that you are a young dragon.

[Let's take care of it and move on.]

I nod without strength and search the backpack.

“Isn't that dead already? I heard that when people die, everything in their bellies flows out. Didn't I tell you not to kill a dragon? ”

The Yellow Forest asked. But Parvash quickly corrected her misunderstanding.

[Not dead. You took too much horsepower, and you exhausted all the horsepower to contract a certain muscle.]

Her eyebrows went up.

“· · · and. What kind of sphincter needs magic to squeeze? Zola, it's a high-dimensional anal. ”

“No, that mouth! Shut up! ”

The shrub stumbled with an unworthy expression, but the eclipse did not measure what it heard.

[The dragon relies almost exclusively on magical power for its survival. There are too many magical powers taken this time, so that happens.]

“No, that's enough. How can you breathe alive? ”

[It will draw the horsepower consumed in other parts of the body and concentrate on vital functions of survival such as breathing, heart rate, and skeletal retention. In the meantime, we can't afford to leave the magic power that is used for relatively less important functions like the control of the excrement system.]

“Ha-ha-ha-ha, those are the people who beat the shit out of me. ”

[But it's not dead, so if you let it go, you'll recover your magical powers and be in good shape again. Now, let's deal with it and move.]

I picked up a palm leaf-like object from a bag pack. All of them were Yodmo's ears, with a metallic glow. The little twigs ripped from his long, big ears.

When I took it out, the pearl house became a disturbing expression. I don't know why, but she was very vigilant about the effect this thing was having.

“Now, everybody back away. ”

It was the pearl house that fled as if it were the furthest thing I could say. I heard her whispering.

“Elder, do you want me to shield you, just in case? ”

[Don't worry about it that far. It is enough to fall this far.]

I listened to a little request from Yodmo a while ago. It was a request to take action to prevent any human being from ever dying. I accepted his words and took magical steps to ensure that man would never die. He will still be repeating nerve damage and regeneration due to extreme pain in the room next to the cistern in the basement.

I've heard quite a few elixirs in setting it up like that. deviated from the originally established give-and-take level. In return, Yodmo offered to give me as much as he wanted.

Like ripping off a few branches from a big tree, Yodmo seemed to have no heavy burden. It's something that could be useful to me, and I accepted it with pleasure.

I imparted magical power to Yodmo's ears, which were filled with the palms of my hands. Then it lost its original form and began to crumble. It turned into a faint smoke that followed my guidance to the dragon's nostrils.

Hehehehehehe

The dragon was desperately continuing to breathe. The smoke created by Yodmo's ear was sucked into it. The same way I did when I planted the old hunt to erase the memory of some girl. However, the number of ear cramps was much higher than at the time, and the amount of smoke was much greater. It also took longer to be absorbed.

“Even if you faint and become weak, it's the dragon's mental barrier. ”

I couldn't leave behind the memory of the dragon being attacked by us. If you think of the pride to pierce that sky, you will spend your life chasing after us. So I erase this memory every time I check the dragon's soul.

And just in case, I was using a lot more ears than I used to erase human memory. I think I need a couple times as much smoke to erase the same amount of memory.

“That should be enough, right? ”

[Yeah, well, you can erase a day's worth of memories anyway.]

Drinking smoke eliminates memory in reverse order from the last memory. With the effect of the last day or so, I expect.

“It's really big. ”

I lie on the floor and mutter as I see the dragon's body breathing heavily.

“This massive body, without magic, can't even perform its basic functions. ”

Parvasse replied.

[Remember what the Savior of the Hidden Realm said? The dragons have been raised in their hands for a long time. And we've been refurbished for years.]

I nod.

[In fact, a race that relies so much on magical power is hard to find. If what the Savior of Silver Rim said is true, it is also possible to speculate that these characteristics of dragons are not natural.]

“· · · The owners of that identity have converted the dragon like this? ”

[Exactly an improvement.]

Yeah, it's not uncommon in the human world either. I stared at the body of the unconscious dragon, being paralyzed just because I lost my magic power. The massive body was so weak and colorless that it seemed defenseless.

Seeing that, I came to mind. I've seen a television show called Bulldog before. People said that the bulldog's legs were too short because it was cute, and as a result, males could not climb the female's body, making normal mating almost impossible. Even now, the breeding of bulldogs is largely in progress with humans lifting males.

A bulldog that would not be able to reproduce without human hands, and a dragon that would not be able to cover its urine without magic.

The scale is different, but somehow I think it resembles a lot.
