Hermit Wizard

227. The price of death (2)

* * *

I don't know if that's natural, but there was no direct flight from Budapest to an island near the Arctic Sea. I decided to spend the day at Oslo Airport Hotel and take the next day on a domestic ship to Svalbard Island. There was nothing I couldn't do if I decided to blow up my dream, but it was too much horsepower and hard work compared to the shortened time. I don't have any money, I'm not being chased by time.

A burning skyscraper filled the hotel room with TV. I thought it was a movie, but the landscape is ripe around the passing eye. The news is correct by watching the subtitles at the bottom of the screen. I had a breakthrough I missed while I was on the plane.

“· · · Again. About two hours ago, several high-rise buildings, including the GIBW building in New York, USA, were burned with a sudden explosion. The number of casualties identified to date is over 200. ”

I can see the GIBW building with the cement of the anchor and the Sachaman ashes. That's the building I broke into a while ago. The place where the dragon's new body was being created.

“Joshua Brolin, the White House spokesman, told reporters and Q&A that we have yet to find any clear evidence that this incident is a channel-related disaster. He added that the relevant bodies are currently under investigation with all possibilities open and that the results will be shared transparently. ”

The floor murmured as he looked at the screen.

“Trafficker, did the remnant destroy the evidence? ”

After that day in Philadelphia, I'm still surprised to hear this guy. Simply leaving the vocabulary to increase and build knowledge, the realm of thought became deeper and wider. Having a conversation these days makes me feel like I'm talking to someone my age. I was three or four years old until I caught the dragon across the injury channel.

“It's a good guess, but it's not. Evidence annihilation doesn't have to wait for weeks. And it would have been enough to get rid of the building's shields and some of its supplies. There's no reason to burn it all like that. ”

“Then who? ”

“Floor, you didn't see that text on the information tool you received, did you? ”

“· · · hmm? ”

The floor rattles the tentacles as if they don't understand.

If he does not know, it will be only Parvash and I who can understand that meaning on Earth, except their kind.

Around the black-and-white building lit by the TV, gray ash was blown. The ash was repeating itself with a certain pattern. It doesn't mean anything to those who can't read the text, but I understood the message it contained.

I don't deserve to mutter.

“Those opportunist bastards. ”

It was a text that Imere made for intergenerational communication. Their host, Gramperi, would have unconsciously left magic around the building without even knowing why he was doing this. Because the parasite induced them that way.

Here's what the message said:

“’I apologize for the late decision. Accept the transaction.' ”

I mutter bitterly.

Releasing the parasitic Imere to the young Gramperi near the military base, I offered him a pedestrian hunt. In return, I decided to give you information about the Dimension Map.

By the way, those heavy-ass bastards are only now in action. No, the head of the torturers was sealed by my hand and the vampires, the backbone of the tissue, were almost exterminated in this courtyard?

It was too late. Although not all the torturers on Earth have disappeared, the Egblin is already crushed.

[You haven't completely eradicated it yet. According to the memory of those who died in the Han River, there were some executives who had not been sent to Korea.]

“Still, I think the victims found in that building are almost apprentices. ”

No matter how I think about it, I don't feel tidy.

“Is it a coincidence? After less than a month of sealing Eugene, did they start to move so quietly? ”

I don't know what method I used, but it was only after I realized Eugene was missing that the most bothersome part was done. If that's true, they're really weak.

Parvasse laughed at his head and said,

[Tell you the story, you said the Grampers can't go out of the border because of the agreement with the Chinese government?]

“Yes.”

[It may have taken some time to process that part. Even if Imere had succeeded in inducing Gramferry's actions, it would have been hard for the Chinese government to approve Gramferry's claim to go to the United States suddenly. There is also a relationship between nations.]

Oh, I felt like the puzzle was right in my head.

“There's been an intel that seems to be a conflict between the Chinese government and the Grampéry these days, right? ”

Of course, I didn't find out when I ran with my foot. After a few days of disappearance, the Minister of Agriculture, who returned safely to Earth, magically stole what he had encountered in Qingwadae.

Parvasse nods.

[That could be the cause of the conflict.]

“Are you going to deal with the Chinese government in friendship? They're really strangled on the Dimension Map. ”

As I spoke, I wrapped my head around it.

“I don't know how to take care of everything I did when I had a hole in my brain. Damn it.”

At that time, I was acquainted with Imere, a parasite in Gramperi, before I received part of her brain back from Kilgeniapros, and I did not tell Imere the truth.

One of the reasons Imere is eager to find the Dimension Map is to avenge the Savior who destroyed their race. And, I know. The magnificent revenge pole they are planning means that it is a shovel of cosmic magnitude.

“The ‘mad savior' they were trying to avenge was not crazy, and by now they had failed to eat the world and become something else. ”

I looked at Parvasse as I said it. I've already had many conversations with him. After understanding the meaning of the gaze, Parvasse nodded and received my words.

[· · · yeah. If it failed, it would have become a spirit or, on the contrary, a god.]

They never seem likely to succeed in revenge.

“Shall we cancel the deal? ”

[Imere has already begun to move your proposal into action later. If you come now and remove it, you can turn the entire Imere into an enemy. It means virtually the same thing as turning all the Grampers against the enemy. You have to keep your promise.]

“Is there any way you can give me a dimensional map? ”

[I can't use the same method I did for you. Still, it's a matter of thinking. It's not completely impossible. It's not a bad story to lend a hand to dealing with homeless people's debts. We have a limited number of people to mobilize, but they will eventually conscript all the Grampferries to Earth and pursue the perpetrators. Setting traps to take care of those who come and find the ones who are hiding is different.]

“Hmm.”

Outsourcing for the treatment of homemaker residuals.

After the battle in Hangang Park, I sealed the dragon's soul, but I couldn't annihilate it. Strangely, the bottle containing the soul did not accept the soul of the Savior, so I transplanted the soul of the Black Keeper into the soulless cocoon as planned.

It is only speculating that the guiding of the soul was not easier because it was made by mixing some of the dragon's original body, namely the scales obtained from Dubai.

In any case, if we cannot extinguish the soul of the Old Testament and keep it sealed, some danger remains. Dealing with the Trafficker's Balance was a must.

“I'm glad it worked out so easily. ”

Instead of talking, I put my hands on my lips and stroked a few contours of my teeth. After regaining the body, extreme fatigue disappears, but sometimes you feel a strange sensation in a part of the body. Some of the teeth do, and sometimes the corners of the body do.

The feeling of disguise quickly disappears and hands down again. And I confessed one thing.

“In fact, when I was proposing a deal. · · · I had no intention of giving Imere a dimensional map. ”

Parvasse asked if it seemed absurd.

[What?!]

“You were asleep then, Parvasse. I wasn't sure there was a way to transfer the Dimension Map. ”

[Did you make a big deal without knowing?]

“I just thought we'd all die fighting each other. It's too bad that the traffickers won between the two, but they can't help it, and vice versa, if Imere wins. That's what I thought then. ”

[If Imere wins, how do you intend to pay?]

“If I asked you why you didn't keep your promise, I was going to tell Grampery everything. Your ruling class, in fact, is a slave controlled by a parasite. I thought a subclass without a parasite could make a revolution. To overthrow the Gramperi society. I thought, inevitably, a lot of blood would flow, and I wouldn't care if I had that cramp. ”

[· · · Did you plan to do that?]

“· · · Uh. ”

I thought it didn't matter what happened to the world of Grampéry.

Imere thought it was a story that had nothing to do with me.

Is the free will of Gramperi important, or is the restoration of Imere's civilization more important? There was no concern of mine about the value of confronting each other.

Neither, because it had nothing to do with my survival. Even if so many xenophobics died because of my plan, I was confident I would not be shaken. At that time it was natural.

When I was told a few hundred years later that the Earth's humanity was extinct, it was a psychology that was not so different from the time when I was purely 'happy’ because it was not now.

Parvasse, who listened to me, shook his head.

[Thinking again, I don't think I need to break the deal. Before the White Book is destroyed, I want you to step up and take care of Eugene. We will not take revenge on the Savior with the Dimensional Map, but we will be able to achieve our goal of reaching out to other Dimensional Peoples, so we are not committing a horrible scam.]

The floor muttered while listening to the conversation.

“Well, morale still sounds like fraud, but you didn't teach me the truth about the savior. ”

“One day you'll realize it for yourself. ”

I can't help but feel cool. It will not be necessary for me to deliver the frustration they will encounter on their own one day.

[The important thing is that neither of us is a loser.]

The floor tilts a little, and then hits the tentacles again. It means I understand. Parvasse adds a word.

[The president of the United States, who is now missing, has also become a vampire. It is also urgent to find and deal with him. Grampery's volume decline will help.]

I agreed with him with a slightly stiffened face. Greenwood is a must-have. No matter how the inside changed, he was still the President of the United States. What he says can have a huge impact on the Korean government as well as the rest of the world.

“If you keep disrupting information, it's going to be difficult. ”

According to their plan, Greenwood told the Korean government a mix of truth and falsehood. After a few hundred years, all souls will be lost and mankind will be extinct, and the Savior must be resurrected to stop it.

The front is the truth, but the back is the lie. As far as I know, even if the Old Testament is resurrected, this world without nuclei cannot grow and the channel cannot be closed. The loss of the soul will continue. Unfortunately, this is not the case now. Until I find another way.

Moreover, they even conspired to drive the perpetrators of the Incheon Airport catastrophe to me through Greenwood.

“I was really lucky to have the Minister of Agriculture. ”

[Correct.]

It was the optimum number that had more effect than simply rescuing the contractor. After returning from the world of black giraffes, he went to Qingwa and testified to Hildebrand's words.

Nevertheless, much will be opaque from a government perspective. There was no evidence. Isn't the Wizard Yoon Min-jun really the culprit of the catastrophe? Is it a lie that you attacked the Savior to bring this world to an end?

Eventually, the government decided to trust me externally.

[Witch hunters who are wary of the development of humanity.]

“It's strange to speak with my mouth, but I'm surrounded by a wizard who's too powerful to hold me. ”

[It's weirder to believe that.]

“Instead of being persuaded to believe it, do you believe it because you need to? ”

[· · · hmm.]

In the first place, American stories, my stories, are unbelievable. But the President of the United States, who gave the story informally, is missing, and I'm still rebuilding. And if the President's words are true, they will not be able to avoid fighting a wizard named Yoon Min-jun. We have to stop the destruction of our descendants hundreds of years later.

But in the end, they made the choice not to fight a writer beyond the scope of understanding. I decided to believe what I wanted to believe.

I decided to turn away from the moral responsibility of the descendants of the distant future by not believing.
