Hermit Wizard

* * *

I looked at a parasitic creature crawling out of Grampery's eyes.

A race whose physical power is weak and whose intellect is high even though the spiritual strength is not high. I don't know how that knowledge is inherited, but the civilization of the species they parasitize is accelerating rapidly. Neither did Parvasse know their secret.

“Yes, it remains in the memory of the host. You look a little different, but you've changed your face with magic. A powerful wizard who doesn't know who he is in this country. ”

· · · Huh?

I felt disguised by the opponent's long sentence, and soon I knew why.

Wait, why does this sound so good?

I doubt it. In the meantime, the interpreter with the xenophobia has been dedicated to Parvash and I have spent little time on interpreter magic. As I did during the Ashpim Giant, the magical performance of my interpreter is unmatched.

But now Imere borrows the memory of the host, so much so that she can hear it. Gramperi's language is spoken.

In the meantime, Imere said:

“A man of unknown origins. · · · You are Yoon Min Joon. ”

· · · You've heard all the rumors in the neighborhood.

I'm about to get humiliated by the sudden fame. It feels very dirty.

But anyway, now I'm giving up my social status. It is more important to find out what offensive schemes they have against me than just the fact that they know my name.

“Strange. I've never been out of China before. How do you know this signal? Have you ever been in contact with any other people besides me? ”

I ask without negativity or positivity. My mind associated with an academic record is naturally filled with a strange language.

“The fact that Imere is parasitizing is that this Gramperi has a high position in your civilization, right? ”

Huh? Yeah.

I was surprised to speak to myself. I feel it again, but it's completely different from the interpretive magic effect I've used so far.

When I first called him, I also entered a more difficult word in the sentence, why did the words come out so smoothly?

“ · · · · · · ”

I'm sure you understand what I'm saying, but Imere didn't do it right away.

It took a while for the answer to come back, as if embarrassed.

“You know more about us. · · · Yes All of our parasitic gramperies are classified from that civilization to the upper ruling class. ”

I raise my head. Gramperi's magic level is roughly known. You've been observing this dimension since the channel opened, right?

Given that he's that civilized, he's not going to be very good at it.

“There's nothing wrong with that kind of magic? ”

“The rank of Gossip is not determined by magic. ”

Anyway, if you have a high status, it will be worth it. I don't want to rip your brains out right away.

I'm thinking about it, and Imere keeps talking.

“Very much so, compared to you, even if you were the most brilliant wizard of the Grampéries, you would have been tricked one-on-one. ”

Heterosexuals said in a confused tone.

“Besides, the interpreter magic I'm using. How the hell did you develop that? ”

Oh, I notice it's fast.

“It's a way of accessing some of the rituals in an academic record. But this world was never his apostle in the first place. How did you know that an academic record existed, and how did you develop that magic? Moreover, the magic speed is too high. The magic of the Grampers we have is a child's play compared to yours. ”

The opponent's voice is filled with suspicion.

“The mortals of this world were ignorant of magic until a year ago, when the hosts decided to find out. Nevertheless, are you really such a sorcerer? Why do you interfere in the work of petty exterminators? ”

I say successively as if I don't understand.

“This world is really strange. Why is the Savior neglecting the openness of so many channels, and why is he interfering in the civilization of the immortals? You don't hunt human wizards, you intervene in human conflicts. I don't understand. ”

He believes I'm an evildoer, and I notice no doubt.

“Will you answer my question first? Why do you think I'm a troublemaker? I think he's convinced. ”

The situation now is never in the best interest of Imere. That parasitic organism has to rely entirely on the host's ability to do so, in addition to spraying spores. And Grampery here knows that he can't be my opponent.

Nevertheless, the reason I'm trying to have a peaceful conversation right now is because I don't yet know the intentions of my opponent, and secondly, I don't know an effective way to interrogate an Imere.

Parvash did not have any detailed information about the tribe. A lot is uncertain. How is the nervous system distributed? Where is the organ that acts as the brain? Can Yodmo extract memories?

I want you to cooperate so that I don't risk uncertainty and take bold action. With that in mind, I speak.

“Are you? Why do you think I'm a troublemaker? ”

How far do you guys know?

Imere replies.

“No, until now, I thought you were the troublemaker of this world, but I actually see you like this, at least I'm very skeptical. Now I've changed my mind. There are too many strange parts of the earth to be a pedestrian. Neither was it witnessed at the time of the witch hunt, nor the magical qualities that we are using now. ”

Wizard Hunt. I note that keyword.

Perhaps a story about the dragon worshippers.

They must have raided the Chinese Wizard Training Camp, though. No news has flown outside because of extreme media control.

“The reason we thought you were an evildoer is because of some footage the hosts saw. ”

Imere briefly explained. I saw the channel in my chest through the footage of the Busan incident.

“Well, let's get to the bottom of it. ”

The answer to this question may be a little rough.

“Why did Grampery come all the way here to make such a fuss? ”

I spread my fingers and pointed to Kim Kyung-hwan. I am flabbergasted when I look at a strange creature in the eye and talk to him with words I don't know.

“Is it the Chinese government's arbitrary decision to raid that wizard? I don't think so. The fact that Gramferi moved in with him eventually made Gramferi's decision, and even more so, didn't you, Imere? ”

“ · · · · · · ”

Instead of answering at that moment, I felt a slight magical force moving in Grampery's body.

“Hey, don't get all worked up. ”

“Ugh!”

Kim Kyung-hwan breathed in a sudden twisted sensation of nearby magic power.

“In this case, the laser · · ·. ”

I answer without looking at you.

“I'm not dying, so hang in there. ”

I just borrowed the body of a former host and saw a spite trying to spread communication magic, so I broke the magic around me and blocked the attempt.

Imere speaks in a dismal voice.

“· · · I can't believe I broke through this. ”

“If I keep coming out like this, I can't be sure how I'm going to come out. Let's avoid bothering each other. ”

“I tried to consult my people before answering your question. ”

“You don't have to be so thoughtful. Just tell me what you know. Is it true that the Grampers are moving like this? ”

Imere hesitates and says:

“I don't know if we know, but we don't always dominate and control the consciousness of the host. There is a limit to the time when this completely dominates consciousness. ”

Another piece of work.

“I know I can last another hour in this state. Explain it slowly. ”

“· · · You really don't know anything. ”

Imere opened her mouth as if she had given up.

“This is a secret among the secrets of our kind that should never be known to the hosts. Nevertheless, I tell you this story now because it was our plan to contact you anyway. ”

“· · · Do you think I am the purpose? ”

“Yes. We took note of the possibility that you might have a ‘Dimension Map’ and encouraged the Grampers to contact you. ”

The head gets complicated.

“Again, we don't intervene in all of the host's minor decisions. to induce us to move in the direction we want to go unconsciously. No, in this case, it was practically impossible to make a decision on its own. It just shortened the process. ”

“Why?”

“Because of the fate of our kind. ”

This is something Parvasse didn't know.

“Fate?”

Instead of strengthening the body and civilizing itself, what is the fate of a race that has chosen to parasitize another race?

“Yes, Imere's destiny. Our ultimate goal is to bring the civilization of the host species to the level we want. ”

“What's the level? ”

“Our goal is to reproduce civilizations at all levels through the host before we perish. ”

Wait, you're not right.

“Destruction? Why does Imere destroy? As far as I'm concerned, it's not one or two dimensions you guys parasitize already. I didn't know you were parasitizing Gramperi today. ”

Whether Imere's emotions were influenced or not, a pale expression touches Gramperi's face and passes by. It was close to repentance.

“Now this worm-like body is not our original body. ”

Imere joins the horse.

“Our flesh was not originally in this form. Before the end of time, we had the same body as humans. It is because of this that the form of the species we can parasitize is limited. We can only be parasitized by a species that resembles the old flesh. ”

“Why did the civilization that used to live in the flesh perish? ”

“Can civilization endure the end of the world? ”

What?

“We, the helpers of the world, are doomed. ”

I was hardened at the moment.

“This worm-like body we have now is a wreck that has desperately escaped from an annihilated world. ”

It was Parvash who came to mind the moment he heard it.

Is it true that Imere's species is the same as Parvash?

But quickly shake his head. No. If you are of the same race as Parvash, there must be a similar magic system, but the magic of Gramperi is completely different.

“Oh, wait a minute. I don't understand. Once again, it means that the world has perished. ”

I already had a guess, but I deliberately asked.

“You probably won't believe it if you listen. Have you ever imagined that the Savior is crazy? ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

It was a crazy story.

· · · Well, God is crazy, and so can the Old Testament. But instead of talking, I wait for Imere's explanation.

“Before the destruction, we developed civilization for many years. He conquered the mystery of the galaxy and completely deciphered the genes. The war in the world is over, and the insecurity of society is gone. With dimensional gaps rising several times, all channels were closed. There was no such thing as chaos with other races in the world. That was the perfect world. ”

His voice permeated with dark, sharp emotions.

“Yes, it was the perfect world. All that remains of our kind is to further develop our own ‘existence'. We all worked together. To complete each other. I joined forces to become closer to completion. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

I listen quietly to what he says.

“In such a paradise, we were forced to abandon the world and flee. The glorious history of civilization has stopped us."

"... hmm."

"In a world where the channels were all closed, there was no escape route. So, by gathering the wisdom of the tribe, I desperately cast a leap of magic. ”

Dimensional Leap Magic. Yes, the magic I once desperately learned to avoid the Savior of the Earth. The only way to move to another dimension without going through a channel.

“The first thing I looked at was lightening our spiritual gap and sending only souls to another dimension. This method was relatively easy to send, but had a limited amount of recordable memory. So we switched directions. ”

Imere joins the horse.

“We implanted the memory of our civilization into an artificial creature that was used for experimentation. If the information stored by the glorious civilization of the species was prefabricated in preparation for the event, it would be engraved in the organism's genes. ”

Now I know what the concept is.

That's, like, a ark.

“· · · recorded all those vast civilizations? ”

“Of course it was all impossible. We have implanted only a level of information that can guide the way to bring the level of that civilization to an eventual stage before its destruction. ”

Instead of putting the entire textbook in, did you just save a summary close to the hint? The omitted intermediate process allows hosts to study and find out for themselves.

That way, the time will be shortened considerably. Rather than the speed at which the race was able to develop on its own.

But there are still areas where I don't understand.

“Why are you a parasite? I don't think every individual could have taken the Dimension Leap, but only a select group of people can escape and start civilization again. ”

“As the world collapsed, the capacity we were able to transmit in a hurry was only a handful compared to your body. Because we had to transmit the substance, not the soul. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“We needed a simple form to reduce the size as much as possible and adapt to the environment. Most of the genetic information is filled with knowledge that we transmit, so instead of having a fuller body, it becomes a parasitic form of another organism's body. ”

That's how they were called, parasitized.

“So, why do we need a dimensional map? ”

“Can you guess why our world was destroyed? ”

Uh, actually, I think I know why.

Imere spits like a voice full of tears.

“The savior of the world in which our kind originally lived, he suddenly went mad one day. The will of the world has urgently appealed to our kind. Run, Dad is crazy. Run to another world quickly. ”

His voice is filled with grim emotions.

“That lunatic begun to eat the world that he has grown up in! ”
