Hermit Wizard

* * *

“Hold on, man. ”

I think I understand what I'm saying. The doll frowned to see if she didn't like it.

“You're going to subdue him by force? Are you going to kill him? ”

“If there's a lot of resistance, I'll get violent too, right? ”

“I don't understand. Why unnecessary genocide? ”

“It's unnecessary? It's hard for them to see the floors like this. Besides, I'm trying to tell you an important story. ”

I rebuke with words.

“And you don't want those humans to come all the way here. Isn't it your duty to stop it? I hear you can't even trigger that golden fog right now. That doesn't mean you can't beat yourself up. I'll do it for you.”

The doll makes a strange look.

“Just stay put. I'm gonna set up a cognitive impairment station around here. ”

Then, I roar. I hear it all the time. If I keep using this kind of power, I'll have more room to report to the top later. Are you part of a clogged bureaucratic organization?

With my gaze, the doll covers her lips with the palm of her hand. After a few seconds, his lips and mouth disappeared at the bottom of his face, where his mouth was originally hung. Instead, a disc-shaped material appeared in its place. It was a gathering of fine pieces like insect eyes. It reconstructed the flesh in an instant.

Ooooooooooooooooooooo!

Power emanates from the assembly that appears instead of the mouth. The magic waves created by each small scale piece mingle, sometimes bumping into each other and creating spells.

I shrug.

“I know how this works. ”

It is similar to the Hidden Magic I use. It is compatible in that it has a shielding unit effect without artifacts.

Moreover, the speed is much faster. If I wanted to make such a speed without artifacts, I would have had to use the spell 'Mirror of Brunos’, which is not a good time to prepare the sacrifice.

The magic effect created by the doll instantly covered the floor, me, the doll, and the photon golem. This is a deceptive level for me. For a moment.

“I have to stay like this until the mental disturbance is repaired. You can expel him right after the recovery. ”

When those wizards arrive in this state, all they see is that channel. I can't see the gatekeeper, so I won't have to go straight through the door.

· · · Huh? I see.

“Can't you hide that channel? ”

After the magic was complete, the doll remarked.

“You don't know? Channels don't work with cognitive impairment magic. I can't hide it. ”

What kind of bullshit is that?

“You're joking, right?”

I only hide the seed channel in my chest.

“Try again later. I'm sure you won't. ”

Instead of revealing the existence of a channel in my body by telling me my experience story, I turned to the topic.

“By the way, why do you use this golem? You just have to physically block the area around the channel. ”

“Again, we had to prepare for every case. Psychic interference is the best way to prepare for a race that is not physically or spatially constrained. It's a tricky operation, as you can see right now. ”

I'm talking about a spirit like Parvasse.

“Are your dimensions, your mind, and your environment such that you are in danger of entering? ”

The doll smiled bitterly and said,

“It's a civilization that has existed for so many years, there have been many mistakes. ”

While we were having such a conversation, a unit of wizards appeared beyond the horizon. He appeared to belong to the United States.

It's because of the outfit that I call the unit symmetrical. It's the military uniform you see in movies all the time.

But I felt the magical power in it, just like the look of it. It is an artifact with its own magical processing. It's Kaifu Spell.

They stare this way away. Photonic Golem is gone and is communicating in a panic. The doll already hid it because he did not want them to observe the photon golem closely.

Ooooooooooooo!

Instead of getting closer, a wizard walks through this side with detection magic. However, as expected, the puppet did not react to the wizard, but just passed by. It was undetectable.

“The level appears to be intact. Yeah, this dimension is usually about that. Man, you're a little weird. ”

They walked closer towards the channel to make sure there was nothing. One of the wizards, a tall woman, talks on the radio.

“The Golden Giant is invisible. No response to detection magic. ”

I grew my hearing by concentrating on the horsepower circuit. I can hear the answer coming from the communicator.

Do you feel the urge to leave the area?

The wizard who was communicating with me just cut it off and said,

“No, never mind. What about the rest of the crew? ”

The wizards who enter together shake their heads or make X-rays with their arms to mark the negativity.

“The golden giants are gone, and the wondrous power seems to be gone. ”

The answer comes back beyond the communicator.

Let's wait for a while. I will bring the non-wizard troops inside the Channel Zone. Let's see if the soldiers who are not wizards have the same phenomenon when they reach the center.

“Yes, I understand. ”

Just as the woman who finished the wireless is the conductor, the wizards begin to set the perimeter according to her instructions.

I have a pistol in my waist dance, but it looks like it's for commercial use. Instead of pulling a gun in his hand, he gathers his magical power into an empty hand and, in turn, prepares to respond magically. You've been trained to assume this situation, haven't you?

But their boundary attitude quickly collapsed. A wizard who grows a mustache whispers to a colleague.

“Edward, is that golden giant really gone? ”

“How do we know that? ”

The leader warned with a sharp voice, as if he heard a voice.

“Sanchez, Edward! Don't talk to me during the operation! ”

“Yes, yes, I understand. ”

The Hispanic man who started the conversation wanted to shut up for a while, but soon grumbled in a smaller voice.

“Serena, she looks like a real captain. ”

“· · · The commander is right. ”

“We're not real soldiers anyway. He said he didn't even have a National Defence roster. The salary that comes into our bank account comes under a weird company name. ”

A blond man called Edward shrugs and answers Sanchez.

“It doesn't matter whose name your salary is deposited in. It doesn't matter that the salary has five zeros on it. ”

“Yeah, eating and sleeping near the Philadelphia Quarantine Wall, pretending to train for the rest of your time, getting this salary is actually just a dream. ”

Kick your tongue and join the horse.

“But now that the golden giant is gone, this life seems to be over. Do I have to go back to being controlled and trained all day in school like everyone else? Suddenly, it's going to get really bad. ”

“I don't know yet. ”

Sanchez grumbled.

“It's just a pity we can't beat this up because of the contract. Honestly, I think the money I've raised so far is enough to live with. You don't have to be tied up like this. ”

“Sanchez, because of guys like you, the government must have deliberately made the contract. In fact, we're lucky enough to survive. How many schools have been bombed by terrorism in the United States so far, even though the government is resting? Even though our school hasn't done that yet. ”

“Do you really believe that, Edward? Where in the world are there terrorists who could throw away the Kaifu people? ”

“At first, there was a rumor of terrorism in Russia or China, but recently, all similar institutions on the Russian side of the school were destroyed. There are rumors that China has been raided several times. ”

“Hm! I gather them in a narrow building and teach them magic, so they're all delusional. ”

The leader's sharp cry flew again.

“Sanchez! Edward! No more chatter!”

While they were talking, I was keeping an eye on one of the conspicuous people.

Ohora, look at that.

I ask the doll. During his magical effect, of course, we were invisible, and we couldn't hear what we were saying over there.

“Can you see that one of the wizards, the soul? ”

I point one of them with my finger.

“It's possible, why do you do that? To see it, we need to check the photon Golem's footage. ”

What I was referring to was a red-headed wizard who seemed to keep his silence in every corner and silently exercise vigilance.

What caught my attention was the ring he was wearing.

I am confused because the pattern is a little different from the one I identified before. But it is suspicious enough that only one of the wizards is wearing it. Moreover, it looks like something that even prevented the surrounding wizards from noticing the existence of the artifact.

“I was wondering if I could see the seal on my soul. ”

The spy who was hiding in the Wizard Training Camp of Hunung was wearing an artifact. The bodies of the traffickers found in the Incheon Sea were similar to the artifacts they had.

Later, Garam confirmed that the spy's soul had a very dark seal on it. Parvasse explained that it was a trace left because of the magic of the kingdom.

The doll remained silent for a while, as if checking the video.

“· · · · · humans surprise me many times today. How the hell did you know? I don't think I see a soul. ”

“I have something to doubt. ”

I notice what I'm talking about and nod.

“First of all, it's sealed like you said. It's not a seal of rapidity, but it's as nasty as the gods do to their followers, in that it's irrevocable by the will of the Deceiver. ”

That's the restitution agreement. When I was a child, I became angry with my predecessor who forced Parvasse into my kingdom.

The doll spoke.

“But that's not all. ”

Hmm? What else besides that?

“His soul is fundamentally different from the souls of other human beings. You have completed the first evolution. ”

That was unpredictable, too.

“Over the wall? ”

“Yes.”

The doll laughed at his head and said,

“I hid my power so well, I didn't notice it until I saw my soul. ”

If I crossed the wall, the painting was a little different from what I expected. Like the spy who hid in the Hunung Training Camp, he expected to be one of the trainees who was the end of the traffickers.

That wasn't the truth, was it even the executive?

I don't know why I changed the pattern. Why did he go out there himself instead of infiltrating the apprentice according to his original pattern?

Did you change your strategy? Or does observing this channel mean that much?

“Beyond the wall, is there any chance that you might notice this hidden magic? ”

The doll seems to be pondering for a while.

“· · · · · Not likely. ”

“Is he affected by the golden fog? ”

The doll replied confidently this time.

“Mental interference is a technology that works for our people if we don't know how to destroy it. Obviously, it's affected. ”

Ohora?

At that time, the floorboards, which had fallen into the air, began to calm down. The floor slowly sounded the air as the tentacles were crazily swung and knots of tangled and twisted tentacles were loosened.

“Oh, I thought you were dying. ”

Then I look around and mutter.

“· · · Cognitive impairment? Human Wizards? · · · Mister, I don't know. What do you know?”

The floor rises into the air as if I wouldn't care. I sit down with my tentacles around my neck looking for a seat on my shoulder.

I ask the doll what I thought.

“Would you listen to me if I asked you to make that redhead obey my orders with psychological interference? ”

Like a doll, it makes all the bad noises. It was a quick answer that seemed not worth thinking about.

“Of course not. ”

“Can I ask you through the floor? ”

He twirled over his shoulder and said,

“Abandon seclusion, it's impossible. We are unable to intervene in conflicts between indigenous peoples. ”

I laughed as if the doll was full.

“You've absorbed a lot already. ”

I double-check because of the regret.

“So you're just gonna kick him out? ”

“Exactly.”

Hmm, but I'm just sending an executive.

How do I cook him?

The floorboard said while I was doing that.

“How to forcibly possess a soul, can I not teach you right now? ”

“Do you fully understand? ”

“· · · Yes. ”

“Yeah, let's talk about that later. ”

As I listened, the floor turned its gaze toward the doll.

“You're going to be here for a little bit longer, right? ”

“Yes, the floor. We'll go back after we make sure the interference works. ”

“So I just want to ask you one thing. It doesn't seem to be in the knowledge that has already been injected. ”

“Yes, ask as many questions as you can. ”

The next moment the floor gave me was a question I had no expectation of.

“The name of the first evolutionary species is Yodmo. · · · · Is there no way to restore the power of the memory eraser expressed by that paper? ”
