Hermit Wizard

* * *

As soon as I heard from the Minister of Agriculture, the blood seemed to cool.

“· · · What do you mean? ”

There are so many breached channels, but there is no savior to defend. Over time, all souls on Earth will be absorbed into another dimension so that no new life can be born. It was the inevitable future for any species of higher life to have a soul.

It is said that the time remaining to destruction will be several hundred years. It was the time estimated by the traffickers.

The Minister of Agriculture spoke with a trembling voice.

“Through reliable channels, we have been spying on the government. · · · Do you know about the existence of the wizard? ”

I did not answer. My heart was pounding and I ran. I felt embarrassed if I gave my voice now.

Without an answer, the minister hesitated and said:

“A transcendental presence that creates a channel that connects the world. That was the identity of the soothsayer that our government understood so far. ”

As you can see, I didn't publish it in the media, but I think I was aware of it at the government level. It would be an achievement to exchange information with the heterosexuals.

“By the way, according to the information this time, the Savior of our world is now dead and will be resurrected when the time comes. I find this hard to believe, but it's not a rhetoric based on religious inspiration, it's really resurrected. It's a bullshit story, as usual, but the source of this information is so convincing that it's hard to ignore it from a government perspective. ”

“· · · So? ”

It was what the minister said.

“According to reliable sources, if the Savior is resurrected, all the more than 400 channels on Earth will be closed. ”

From their point of view, it may be a sweet word in their ears, but I can't believe it.

The serenity of the dragon said. I don't think this world can grow. That means you have the possibility to close the open channel again.

But instead of pointing that out, I await the Minister's next words.

“And I told you another amazing story. Channels absorb the soul of the world. The Earth has always been in a position to take souls. If the resurrection of the Savior is delayed, all the souls of this world will be taken away, and a few hundred years later the newborn cannot be born. In a word, extinction of a species. ”

I tried to answer as calmly as I could.

“Do you believe all that? ”

“Once again, this is information from a very negligible source. ”

I think.

Humanity should not have known the information that the minister now said. As long as the group that knows the end of the world without the Savior is no more than the evildoers, and the evildoers are thoroughly hidden from humanity.

But this fact entered the ears of humanity. The fact that the channel absorbs souls is a secret that no other race in the world knows about, unless it is pioneer class. If the heterosexuals with whom the Earthlings interact had known this, the government would have known.

But how did you come to know?

The answer is one, because I have not spoken. I thought with unpleasantness that the blood seemed to rise upside down.

A group of traffickers who had been hiding themselves completely from humanity would write something.

“Where does that come from? ”

* * *

Kang Mingi had not yet broken up in the aftermath of the shocking information he had heard directly from American President Benjamin Greenwood a few hours ago.

He changed the topic today, asking several times for information about Korean wizards directly through the hotline. The videoconference brought out stories that the Korean side had never imagined.

“If we do this, humanity will perish, Mr. President. ”

President Greenwood's face was pale, too.

“Some of the wizards in the U.S. government have the ability to rebuild information through the ideas left in the field. If you borrow a term that's known in the past, it's similar to psychometry. ”

There was no mention of any form of diplomatic talks, as information about their wizards was usually kept strictly confidential. But President Greenwood broke that custom.

“This time, the wizard was mobilized to verify that the word" guardian of the Great Convention, "which had been in contact with the United States government, was true. And I've confirmed it's true. ”

Then President Greenwood said in a convincing voice:

“A wizard with a channel on his chest has infiltrated their home. and attacked the Savior who was preparing for the resurrection. ”

A wizard with a channel on his body. To date, there is only one such person on Earth.

It was unreliable from the Korean government's point of view. But President Greenwood showed a magically rebuilt video as evidence.

Kang Mingi argued that he could not be sure of the truth of the magic footage, but Greenwood persuaded him why he would lie with this.

In the end, after failing to come to a conclusion, President Kang Mingi convened a bureaucratic meeting.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs said:

“First of all, we have to question the intentions of the United States. ”

The opinion also agreed with President Kang Mingi.

“In the meantime, the United States has been asking for information on Korean wizards. Isn't it obvious that the truth is headed for Wizard Yoon Min-jun? Without the cooperation of our government, we can't ignore the possibility of showing you a deliberately manipulated magic video. ”

The President asked the Commissioner of the Agency, who was once in charge of the Hun Leung Training Centre.

“Can magical footage be forged? ”

“The magic of restoring the memory of the scene, based on the Kaifu criteria, belonged to the finest magic. It's more difficult to manipulate the video with free materials, so it's more difficult than being a wizard for the Kaifu family. ”

A bureaucrat intervened.

“I can't be sure that the wizard who made the magic footage must have written Kaifu's spell. The Savior said he'd be resurrected someday, didn't he? The resurrection of the dead will also be a transcendent force that we do not understand. If a group of guardians of the Great Convention who came into contact with the United States government could use magic, they might have manipulated the footage. ”

“Hm · · ·. ”

President Kang Mingi's cloak deepened.

“But now that President Greenwood comes out like that, it's just a lie and it's hard to move on. ”

The President of the United States stood up and pledged his support. It is neither an act of espionage in the Cold War, nor an attempt by the president of a country to deceive its allies openly. I couldn't do this without being blinded by securing a wizard and trying to completely destroy diplomatic relations.

Even China, which is going into the barracks, is doing something that the government never did after the raid. It is because the central government loses all cause at the moment of admitting that it has intervened.

Much less, it was difficult to predict that the president of a country about the size of the United States would step up and commit fraud.

“First of all, let's share our opinion on the assumption that President Greenwood is telling the truth. ”

I did not fully believe it, but I tried to look at the measures.

“The United States wants an interview with Wizard Yoon Min-jun. You don't have to bring him back to the United States, so under your watch, the Korean government made a pledge to go ahead. ”

If President Greenwood asked me to bring Yoon Min-jun to the United States right away, there would be no way to do that, but the suspicion would be even darker.

But the United States wanted a dialogue. Instead of trying to redeem himself like China.

“If all the words of the United States are true, if the Savior does not rise, mankind will perish, if that is what the Wizard Yoon Min-jun wants. ”

President Kang Mingi felt his head fluttering.

“And if the conversation with Wizard Yoon Min-jun doesn't go well, is there any way we can use force to stop him? ”

At that time, a Cabinet member said in a skeptical tone.

“But let me say it carefully. ”

I hesitate for a moment and then talk.

“I'm not sure that's a topic to think about. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“· · · · · I mean. How many hundred years after the destruction of humanity, even if all the words on the American side were true? The present generation of people are not the generation that will have to deal directly with the destruction that comes after, nor is there a way to verify that the destruction will come. ”

When the Prime Minister heard that, he raised one eyebrow and said,

“You are misleading, Minister. ”

“No, it's not a misunderstanding. · · · Let me start by saying, I don't know if I need to provoke the real danger of Yoon Min Joon's wizard to prevent the destruction that might not come a few hundred years later. ”

He didn't spit out the next word, but everyone who was there understood what he meant. If it wasn't a disaster for our generation anyway, would we have to leave?

“It's not a matter of a few hundred years from now. You can't even get your hands on a channel that's infinitely pierced, and you can't even get your hands on the country's total strength. ”

“Do you mean to pass on the resolution of future calamities to future generations? ”

“A good way to solve future problems yourself is to expect optimism from future generations. ”

“That's an ulcer. ”

The bureaucrats' opinions quickly came to the meeting room.

“Not a hundred years from now, a few hundred years from now, it's too long. There are already too many challenges before our eyes to consume the resources of our generation to solve them. ”

“Well, what if a few hundred years later, 200 years later? Or 150 years from rounding up? No matter how many years later the problem is, I can't even understand when it's a factor that can shake the foundation of the problem. ”

Someone murmured.

“Even if it were less than 50 years later, everyone here would not be dying anyway. ”

Countermeasures pour out right away.

“It's not a matter of looking at it with such a short-sightedness! ”

"Responsibility for future generations?"

“No, wait a minute. We are officials. Let's approach it administratively and from a legal point of view. Is there a legal basis for action that the central government must take to prevent a catastrophe a few hundred years later? ”

The Minister of Justice replied.

“It's a little ambiguous. The Constitution guarantees human rights for present and future generations. Children, adolescents, and so on. But the interests of future generations, which do not exist, are only mentioned in the Constitution, not in the detailed provisions. by using the word" offspring. "If destruction is a few hundred years from now, no existing people, no existing generation, will treat the disaster directly. ”

One official shakes his head.

“If the existing humanity has been damaged by past mistakes and crimes committed by humanity that do not already exist, the existing humanity has the right to compensation. If future humanity is affected by the mistakes and crimes committed by present humanity, it must also be able to be compensated by future humanity. If you are eligible for compensation, you will be recognized for that right. ”

“The obligation of compensation is not the present government, but the future government. ”

“I agree. Moreover, this is not a mistake and a crime committed by the government! It's about an individual named Yoon Min Joon Wizard. ”

“If the government does not take judicial action against the individual, it is a government error and a mistake now. Neglect as such is a crime against future generations. ”

“But let's talk about our reality. Apart from neglecting, is there a means for the government to take action? ”

The discussions were overheated, President Kang Mingi stretched out his hand and calmed them down.

“Wait a minute, everybody's overlooking one thing. ”

Everyone's gaze was on the president. President Kang Mingi sighed and opened his mouth.

“To continue the discussion on the grounds that President Greenwood's words are true, this is also for our generation. The Old Testament said that the channel will be closed when it is resurrected. So we can solve one of the biggest problems facing our generation. ”

The Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs expressed the view that he could not understand.

“But when the channel closes, all interactions with xenophobia will also cease! In the process of starting to interact with a foreigner who can only replace the Kaifu! ”

He tries to argue about the golden future that magic will bring to humanity, but soon realizes that the premise has changed. If the channel continues to exist on the assumption that what the United States has to say is true, the future of humanity itself has been limited.

The President frowned.

“The review of the channel's gain and thread is over. If we continue to have this new channel, we may one day see a race that the whole of humanity will not be able to cope with. For the sake of the present generation of humanity, it is desirable that the channel be closed. If you can close it. ”

The President hardened his mind.

“In reality, the only way to mobilize force is if you think differently. ”

I couldn't figure out how to do it, but I had to try.

“For now, let's talk to Wizard Yoon Min-jun. And if you can, let's convince them.
