Hermit Wizard

“Beyond the wall? ”

The Snowman and the Gatekeeper spoke in a serious tone.

“I don't feel good. Go to your elder. ”

“Then let me ask you a favor. ”

The keeper kite flew back to the other side of the sky with the girl beside them. A snowflake turns his head while keeping the back in his eye for a while. Then he frowned and asked.

“I heard it before, and I forgot it again. What did you say your name was? ”

The girl who rolled her eyes full of curiosity, awkwardness, fear, and curiosity to cover all this up opened her mouth.

“Minseo. Yoon Minseo. ”

The opponent in front of her is a bear who speaks like a man. It was a wondrous creature unknown to the outside world, but I wanted to get used to it already while I was here. Spoken spontaneously.

Snow said.

“Let's take a walk. I'm not as good at flying as that doorman, so I'm a little anxious to fly with him. I don't care if you flip over or fall on the ground, but you're a really ordinary human child. ”

The girl nods for a moment. Seol turned his head toward Kim Kyung-hwan and made an unexpected offer.

“It's good because the training is just over. You can walk with us for a while. Let's get this kid to his place. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan fails to respond to the offer of goodwill and asks again.

“Isn't this the island in the lake where she lives? I was told not to go over there. ”

“That's what Yoon Do-san asked for. ”

When the word Yoon Do-sa came out of the bear's mouth, the girl glanced quietly. Seeing that, Snow smiled bitterly.

“But he's playing now, too. Just for a second. What do you say? ”

“Is it okay?”

“There's no evidence left. Haha.”

Then he looked at the girl with a dismal eye and said,

“Would it be frustrating to be locked up for so long in a state where there are no people to speak to but bloodlines? ”

He shook his tongue and pushed out his front foot, urging him to leave.

While the three of them were walking together, the girl alternated between Seol and Kim Kyung-hwan. At first I was close to the spleen, but later I almost looked at my face.

When Kim Kyung-hwan began to feel uncomfortable with the blatant gaze, the girl finally opened her mouth. I couldn't beat curiosity.

“How old are you? ”

Kim Kyung-hwan believed that the question would not be directed at him. So it took me a while to confront him.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

But the snow that stood by did not answer the question, and a strange silence followed for a moment. The reason was that the girl's gaze was facing her.

“Are you sure about me? ”

The girl who asks questions nods slowly. I kept looking at Kim Kyung-hwan.

He thought, "Where am I looking? I'm only 24 years old. Of course, I've seen a lot of things I haven't seen lately, and I've suffered a lot of misery, and I've hurt my face a lot, but that's about it.

I could not translate all of those complex thoughts into words, but I simply asked them in a short word.

“· · · Uncle? ”

The girl nods.

“The dog head guy who just flew in with me is 12,000 years old. Sometimes when I was fishing by the lake, I asked how old was the drunken man who was going back, and he said he had lived since he didn't know how to bake pottery. At least the one who brought me something to eat looked like a human being, so I asked him on the first day, and he wasn't a human being, and he was over a few hundred years old. ”

Then he looked at Kim Kyung-hwan's face and said,

“You're actually very old, aren't you? What does it look like? All I've seen so far is dogs, horses, cows, cats, I don't know their names, but I've seen different kinds of birds, toads, mini-sized elephants. ”

Then he looks at the snow and adds:

“I even saw Mr. Bear today. So, you're a bear, too? But the clothes I'm wearing are the best I've ever seen. ”

They could now see why the girl misunderstood. Kim Kyung-hwan made her speculation with a low laugh.

“I'm a human being. ”

I thought that Kim Gyeong-hwan was a different species because they were all residents of the White Book.

The girl who heard that said was surprised.

“Oh, right! Mr. Kite told me before. I brought a few more people to the neighborhood. So you're not crossing walls? ”

Kim Kyung-hwan also knew about the concept of transcendence through dialogue with Seol. The girl also heard stories from the transcendents who had contact points.

I used to think of myself as a "transcendent magician," but now I know what transcendence really means, even though I've dug deep into the ground and made an absurd reputation for wanting to bury myself.

Kim Kyung-hwan shakes his head decisively.

“I'm not a transvestite. ”

Then he pondered for a moment and added in a small voice:

“· · · Not even you yet. ”

The girl's eyes narrowed.

“So how do you know my brother? ”

Kim Kyung-hwan quickly realized who Yoon Min-see's brother was. And I was thrilled to learn that there was a man on Earth who could call that horrible monster my brother.

Imagine, instead of crying from infancy, asking parents to take the necessary action by telepathy, memorizing spells before the Old Testament, blood flow instead of magic, all relationships begin at the same time as the signing of the contract, and the expression of emotion is described as a hexagonal principle.

You had a family.

And Kim Kyung-hwan pondered. The girl's questions were flat, but the answer was not simple. How should I tell Yoon Min Joon and myself?

In fact, your brother appeared in my dream every night pretending to be an alien with twenty-three eyes and said, "I am the most brilliant magical genius on Earth, so I teach magic only to those who have been chosen." I realized that I had a hot contract without a doubt and had been tricked lately into learning magic in my dreams for months. Instead of saying · · ·, Kim Kyung-hwan was somewhat dumbfounded.

“In a few words, there was an inexplicable story. ”

“Well, school friend? No, it can't be. I've never had a friend in my entire life. ”

I mutter like that and bury it with suspicious eyes.

“No way, man, is that right? ”

Friends?

Kim Kyung-hwan thinks, "If I could find some words to describe this relationship right now, I would find some similar words, but one of them was a friend who would never enter.

“Friends rather than friends. ”

“So what's the sign? ”

I don't know. I mutter.

Kim Kyung-won froze again instead of saying, "Between Yoon Min Joon and the Chinese government, I'm really grateful that Yoon Min Joon came running to rescue me, but I can't even go back to the village of the transcendents."

“It's kind of a partnership. ”

He said it to himself and his face fluttered. You're a partner. Do you want to put yourself on the line?

I was not able to manage my expression because of my self-loathing.

By the way, the word "partner" that the girl heard was quite meaningful. Suddenly, his complexion changed and he approached Kim Kyung-hwan. Kim Kyung-hwan stopped walking because he was surprised by the sudden approach. In time, all three naturally stood there.

“Partners? Not friends, but what do we do together? ”

“Ah, well. ”

“So are you in touch with my brother? They're not all residents here right now. ”

There was a way to get in touch. It's a one-way street.

“Why?"

Yoon Min-see said at a fast pace as if he had waited.

“Tell your brother to get me out of here quickly! ”

I wanted to say something. Kim Kyung-hwan sighs a little.

“That's what I want to do, too. I want out too. ”

I heard a tale of silence.

“Honey, I know it's frustrating to be here. But the Yoon Do-san also has an idea. I heard it was my intention to protect you. Until the situation outside clears up a little bit, if you're feeling a little frustrated right now, see · ·! ”

The girl shakes her head roughly.

“I'm not saying this because I'm frustrated! · · · No, it's frustrating. I'm bored. I don't even have a phone. I'm going crazy. I don't even know how long I've been in school these days. ”

I vomited an eloquent story that I have endured for a long time.

“When I first came here, I just cried because I was scared. And then he said," I'm bored. "But it's okay. If you hold on like this now, you can hold on a little longer. They're not studying, they're not doing housework, they're not interfering with anyone, and of course, if you go a little further, you can get angry, but they seem nice. I know that much. ”

The more words followed, the darker the worry seeped into my voice.

“I can take it. It's okay. · · But I don't know how much longer my mom can take. ”

Snow's eyes changed.

“What are you talking about? ”

Yoon Min-seer speaks in a dark complexion.

“My mother, she came here and had a lot of nightmares at first. I didn't sleep, I screamed. But I barely sleep these days. He's scared to sleep. I was afraid of an accident while I was sleeping. Dreams are scary.”

“Hmmm · · ·. ”

Snow calmly opened her eyes to the girl.

“So when I was out there, I was so pissed. But nowadays, it's just a few hours a day, so I sit in bed, and I don't say anything. When I talk, I don't answer. Then · · ·, then · ·. ”

I've been talking well so far, but in fact, I must have been in a mess. Snow thought so.

“I was so scared to be next to my mom when I did. I can't stay with you. So I keep going out and going around. If there's no one around the lake, get as far away as you can. Then we'll meet the other residents. ”

Snow nods. The girl was anxious to be next to her unresponsive mother and kept going outside. Then when you meet the people of the backlog, you might at least have had a conversation and found peace of mind.

“Maybe we should send the villagers. ”

The girl shakes her head.

“When you guys get close, your mom just screams, picks up the stuff, throws it away, doesn't do it at first, but it's getting worse these days. So I'll take the meal and go outside instead. I can barely get it, but · · ·. ”

This is worse than I thought. Snow felt the need to talk to the residents who care about them.

After that, he looked at the girl and said,

“I'll talk to the residents to see if I can get in touch with Yoon Do-sa. We won't be able to get out right now, but if we can pull as far ahead as we can. It's not a world that's completely isolated like a backlog, but at least there's a way to move it to a place that's close to its normal environment. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan also muttered.

“I'll be in touch. With Yoon Min-jun.”

The girl nods with anxious eyes.

After work in New York, I got on a plane to Korea.

It was a fourteen hour flight, but I was rarely able to sleep. Different than before, when I had a gap. It was a moment when I realized that my body tissue was restored and my health was restored.

On the other hand, it was difficult to fall asleep because of the complexity of my mind. Now you just have to go one step further. The Black Keeper, the next step that seals his soul perfectly.

There is a certain amount of excitement and some confusion in the head.

The elements that disturb me have been placed in the deepest corners possible. I thought that retracing what I had done so far and rethinking its meaning would have a counterproductive effect. For now, we need to focus on what needs to be done.

Thinking about it, I organize my work priorities in my head.

Sealing the soul of the Savior. This cannot be postponed. The torturers will soon notice this, since they have already destroyed the body that the dragon did not spare.

‘No, there's a better chance that we're done. ’

I'm already going to Korea to look for me, and I don't know what to expect from this news. There's no evidence that I'm the culprit right now, but I still don't know.

‘Let's deal with the ice before it gets in the way. ’

Yes. Once locked in a separate place, not a backlog, I go to find the dragons that have turned into maggots. The injury would not have recovered, but it would not have died. I intend to test the ice medicine I learned from the floor there. I also got a good tool.

I brought the Black Soul Complex from the headquarters of the Elder. A bottle that was originally sealing the souls of the transcendents. I intend to do Bing's experiment here. It was the best material for practicing.

In other words, it is possible to change the plan so that the soul of the Black Fortune can finally seal this courage. I don't know if this artifact can handle the souls of the Old Testament, so it's not a definite plan yet.

“Excuse me, sir. ”

While I was submerged in that thought, a crew member approached and called my pseudonym. It was the name on a fake passport made by the government.

“I'm sorry to break, but there's a call on our plane looking for a guest. ”

What's that supposed to mean? You call on a plane?

The crew explained slowly. I was contacted by a satellite phone on board, and it was said that the other person was looking for me.

The crew 'will provide a place for you to speak in a private space’ and led me up the stairs leading to the first class room where I was sitting. Upstairs, there were several sofas and bottles of liquor in the small space separated from the room. There was also one phone on the table that I would have brought separately.

“I'm going to close the bar for guests. ”

The crew left the horse and hit the surrounding curtain and hung a red velvet rope. And I could see my senses, and I was standing outside the curtain, preventing passengers from accessing it.

I have a pretty good idea where the call came from.

“· · · If you don't do this, you won't hear a call outside. ”

I don't know if I can hear that much on the street because of the noise on the plane, but I stopped it with a spell. He then listens to the sign language.

“Hello?”

I hear familiar voices.

“Ah! Sir! It's been a long time. ”

He was my contractor, the Minister of Agriculture.

However, the voice beyond the sign language was unusual.

“Hey, you asked me to wait for you to contact you, and I'm so sorry I called! But it's so urgent! I had no choice but to tell you in advance before the plane landed! ”

That's what you need to deliver before the plane lands?

An ominous feeling that flows through your back. I frowned.
