Hermit Wizard

* * *

Incheon Airport.

Airside 2nd floor that does not allow you to enter unless you are originally an airport employee or a passenger. A series of people gathered near the gate where the passengers would pass shortly.

They were looking at the runway and the sky beyond through the glass pane, dressed in suits for a long time.

Then a signal rang on the radio that one of the men was holding. The assistant, who was listening, whispers to the next supervisor.

“It's a plane that's landing now. ”

The middle-aged man nodded with a stiff expression. And I looked out the window.

“I can see that.”

Muttering small with an uneasy expression.

“I'm on that plane. ”

The Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, who was unable to look out the window for a moment, asked the minister Choi Soo, who was standing by. The minister was the only person here who had ever spoken to a monster wizard on that plane.

“Minister, I read the transcript, and I understand it roughly, but did you express a lot of dissatisfaction with the last time you spoke? ”

The Minister recalled Yoon Min Joon's reaction and made a vague look.

“Well · · ·. It was a bit more absurd than usual. The psychoanalysts talk a little bit about whether it's offensive or not. ”

The deputy minister who hears it asks the employee:

“Five minutes drive to the meeting point? ”

“Yes. Young-jong is also a villa within the city. We've selected it as a place of folk and street. In case the target refuses to move, we have also set up an airport precinct. ”

Nod with a stiff expression. Then I looked back at Choi Soo, who was standing beside me.

In fact, there is a risk for the minister to step up in person. However, he was the only dialogue that Yoon Min-jun had with him, so he had to be mobilized here today.

The contract that Yoon Min-jun sent to the government only responded to ministerial personnel, and the government's selection as a contractor was the Minister of Agriculture, who had limited access to diplomatic and defence-related secrets.

Seeing him like that, the deputy muttered.

‘A typical, knowledgeable scholar style for listening to stories. I'm not a good negotiator. Even when I contacted Yoon Min-jun, he called me from behind. I'm going to keep my place in this conversation, but I'm going to have to solve all the practical conversations. ’

I recalled the minister's profile in my head. He had a longer teaching life than a civil servant. It is said that he is an authority within a few fingers on plant breeding and agricultural legislation, but it will be difficult to use that knowledge here.

“You're entering the runway. ”

One plane was landing smoothly.

Yoon Min-jun's plane from New York.

“All right, let's get everyone ready. ”

As soon as the plane connects to the gate, Yoon Min-jun will be ranked first. The plan was to induce the rest of the passengers to disembark only after they had disappeared with him, so that the average passenger did not notice the suspicion.

Everyone was moving towards the gate, but there was only one person who couldn't move.

“Hmm? What's wrong with him? Interpreter, did you tell him now? ”

The motionless one was an observer from the United States government. Instead of actively negotiating in this conversation, I decided to keep quiet and listen to the whole conversation.

When he did not move, an interpreter from the government approached and asked.

However, this pale-faced man, named Hilderbrand, has a different appearance from the astonishing impression he has made so far.

Though the interpreter hesitated to call his name a few more times, Hildebrand was only looking out the window.

When senior Korean officials threw an uncomfortable gaze at him and made a face that the interpreter did not know what to do, he finally opened his mouth. And mutter briefly in English.

I understood the meaning, but the interpreter who did not understand the context suddenly wondered what that meant. The fisheye asks with a dumb expression.

“Yes? Who's here? My name is Valentine, and I'm not on the list that the U.S. government gave me today. ”

Then Hilderbrand scratched his mouth. It was the first laugh I've seen since I appeared before them.

“Not on the list. But I got there when I was ready. ”

The interpreter's complexion darkens.

“Mr. Hildebrand. That's different from what was said in the first place. And even if you get here now, you can't come all the way to the Airside. ”

Hilderbrand shakes his head.

“No, I'm not going to come in here. ”

Then, he shook his finger outside the window with an unknown smile.

“He's out there. ”

Although the interpreter looked outside, all she could see was the aircraft being taxied slowly from above with ground personnel and guidance.

However, Hildebrand could not see the landscape for anyone on the government side, including interpreters.

A man just landed on the roof of an airplane painted in pale blue. The man, who wore a trench coat that didn't suit the weather, stretched his long hair without grooming it, walked on one of the big sleeves.

Then, he bends his wrist down with one hand. Red blood soared around like a fountain. An invisible landscape for those who have not learned magic.

The ejecting blood soon turns into a strange shape. The blood that has to be shed on the collar of the garment, as it was originally, seeps into the air instead.

The man's blood turned into tiny particles and began to wrap around the plane like a mist of light water. and immediately seeps into the gas through the aircraft engine.

“I'm ready over there. ”

At the same time, officials began to panic.

“Hey, what's going on? ”

Unlike the red fog around the plane, which was invisible to their eyes, the phenomenon was noticeable to ordinary people.

“An eclipse?”

The current time is 2: 00 p.m. These days, at least five hours remain until sunset in the same season.

But the outside landscape they were looking at was changing dramatically. The surroundings of the runway are darkening, like turning a video scene of the airport landscape several times faster.

Some of them rush to the window and look up at the sky. To see if there was anything to cover the eclipse or the surroundings. But I couldn't find anything like that.

“· · · · year, the sun is still floating! ”

It was dark as if it were transmitted by a black filter, but the sun was definitely in its place. Nevertheless, the entire airport was becoming darker than submerged in opaque black liquid.

“A lot of people have been trying to get that ready. Do you know how difficult it is to prepare this kind of shield in a limited time? ”

An interpreter who understands what he says is flawed, but takes a step back. I noticed that Hildebrand's words describe the phenomenon now.

“Well, I have to do my job. ”

Hildebrand raises his hands. Others gathered there unaware, but the magical force swirled around his body like a storm.

And · · ·!

Dig!

Jiaying!

The fluorescent lights that illuminate the airport and the entire digital signage attached to the wall flashed like a promise in unison, and it went out completely within minutes.

The interior of the airport, which lost all the artificial lighting, suddenly became cloudy. Even the sunlight that was warming outside the window disappeared, so that the surrounding form was barely recognizable, a dark war covered the interior.

“Hey, call the airport! What the hell is going on? ”

Before the words fell out, the assistant was already wrestling with the radio.

“What, the radio guy! ”

There was no response.

In the meantime, others checked the phone, but the power didn't come in.

“It's no use. Any electronics at this airport are useless from now on. ”

Hearing Hildebrand's words, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs shouted sharply at him.

“· · · What does that mean? Does that mean that the United States intervened in this situation?! ”

A pale man smiled at his head for a moment and said,

“Well, something like that. ”

Then reach out your hand and aim for them.

“I don't know who's out there. Officially, I'm the only government official dispatched here. Ordinary federal officials.”

Then he smiled, revealing his pointy teeth.

“If you make a reasonable guess, who will be the most likely suspect to do this? ”

His gaze passed out the window for a moment. The moment the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs followed that gaze, he realized something and shouted.

“No way! ”

As soon as Yoon Min-jun's plane landed, this side happened. He was aware that Korean officials were waiting at the airport. I was also aware of the reason for coming.

“The more help you get, the better. At last, you have seven billion. And we're all looking in the same direction. It's profitable to deal with him. So far, you've dealt so passively. With a lot of trembling. ”

“That's ridiculous! There's no way anyone can get over a trick like that! ”

“The greater the fear in your heart, the more you see what you want to see. We'll catch some wind. ”

But before the Deputy Minister said anything more, a gray glimmer spread from Hildebrand's hand.

“Khh! ”

“Argh!”

A horrible light envelops people. Then they all collapsed in unison with their legs loosened. Grip your head, chest, and back in agony.

“Of course, if we end him completely here today, we won't need it all. But Eugene doesn't know why he doesn't believe us, but he seems to be preparing to run away from here. ”

I heard an awful mix of colors in my voice.

“You! ”

The Under-Secretary-General for Foreign Affairs fell on the floor.

“No way, the government is trying to get Yoon Min-jun to talk to the wizard! ”

“You have no choice but to reject the situation now? I'm just greasing it for you. I don't know what I'm going to do, so I need to stop touching it and look at it. I need to abandon my weakness approach. ”

In the course of the torturer's words, people bubbled open their mouths as if they could not breathe. Elongation air was drawn into the lungs, but oxygen was not being transported to the brain.

“A demon that will bring destruction to a servant called man. It's not enough to destroy a city in a battle with a xenophobe, so this time it's a vicious monster who blows up an airport ‘deliberately’? ”

Then he whispered quietly.

“But you don't have to worry about it. There are no survivors at this airport today anyway. ”

As soon as Hildebrand's words fell, the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs threw up a pathetic scream and put his head on the floor. His skin was covered with black and grey stains.

Furry!

Subsequently, the people gathered around the gate fell one by one and took a breath. Their faces remained traces of terrible suffering without exception.

And · · · · · ·.

“Huh?”

Hildebrand's eyes widened. At the end of his gaze, he saw an unexpected sight here.

“What. Why are you okay? ”

“Huff! Huff! ”

A middle-aged man who hesitates to sit on the floor with his front island covered. I'm constantly hiccupping and shaking.

Faced with the spectacular looking up, Hildebrand laughed as if it were interesting.

“Wow. What is this? I haven't noticed anything so far. Is it necessary for a dangerous situation to come to light? ”

Looking at the horsepower barrier covering the body of the minister, the pedestrian glances.

“What kind of relationship are you? With him.”
