Hermit Wizard

What does this tentacle say? You treat me like a bonobo.

You don't have to think about it. I shook my head and refused.

“I don't know what to say · · thank you for the proposal, but I'm not in the mood for it. ”

“You can control the doll, the blood. Even if you're not in the mood for it, you'll have blood flow to the lower half of your body with free materials. ”

The moment it fell, a holographic opaque image appeared in front of my eyes. The body of a doll with my mind connected. It was an anatomy that looked red to various organs under the skin.

Above the main institution, arrows are highlighted as if waiting for a click. I understood the meaning intuitively, but as soon as I thought I wasn't going to see something like this, the video disappeared again. I don't know what the principle is, but I seem to be sensitive to my psychiatry.

“No, it's really fine. More than that, do you know what happened to the spirit in the totem? Didn't you find it around me? ”

I had an ominous feeling. The artifacts I was holding in that intense fire didn't last long. One by one, it burns and melts at high temperatures. At least Parvashe was protecting me until the end in the strongest shield with my body.

“Do you really hate it? This time I was guaranteed access to quite a variety of dolls. Hmm.”

At that moment, the light surrounding Zereth's body trembled. The space is distorted. My body just wobbles around like when a cylindrical tube pops out. And this time it appeared in the air as a much larger object. It was like a child compared to the body of a pioneer, but my height was several times that of a creature.

I looked at it with my mouth slightly open. I have seen all kinds of species of all dimensions, but they are considered among them. in the sense that what's happening is threatening and horrible.

Thoracic muscles covering the whole body. My shoulder-width thighs are covered with blood vessels. Above the shoulders, piled on sharp pebble-like scales, was a head that looked like a mixture of pigs, rhinoceros, and donkeys. The fangs that squeeze out of your mouth will pierce through the steel. I closed my eyes as if I was sleeping, but the sound of that harsh breath gave me the creeps.

What the hell is that?

As soon as I wondered who it was, the meaning flowed out of the temples.

‘Cottrackettle type artificial life. Purpose: Demon hunting, limited effect reconnaissance, repair of small devices and components, various errands and simple labor. Currently equipped Soul's gap is very low. Performances are not guaranteed when performing tasks other than simple physical labor. For a seamless user experience, we recommend the installation of artificial spirits of class 4 or higher. ’

Information seeped into my head faster than I thought. That's not a real creature. It looked like a doll that pioneers equipped with an artificial soul to operate.

· · · Wait, a doll? Just, like, tuned just enough for simple physical labor?

What kind of labor is that? I glanced at the pioneer with a face that was about to be creased. That's absurd.

The pioneer is looking as slippery as waiting for my response. No, this guy! He doesn't even think about it now! Besides, what the hell is that nasty piece of hardware? I felt like my bones would break if I just touched my fingers.

“Hey, Jeremy. Thank you again for your consideration, but I really feel like flirting right now! ”

Jeremy's eyes grew when he heard that. After a moment of hesitation, I burst into tears.

“Hahaha! Human friend, you're mistaken. This doll wasn't called cunning. Oh, if I wanted to do this, I wouldn't dry it, but I wouldn't recommend it. Kotrakhet's body structure doesn't match the human race. Beyond the trickery, you'll need to prepare for a body remodeling. ”

Only then did I realize my misunderstanding. At the same time, I can feel the blood flow coming from both cheeks. It is similar to the sense of reddening the face with the earthly body. It burns. The hologram rises before your eyes again. ‘Would you like to redistribute blood to another body part? I erased the footage at the speed of thought because the arrow towards the lower edge looked particularly large.

I keep my face hidden and ask.

“Then why this doll? ”

“You asked. Where the hell did he go? ”

I'm awake.

“No way!”

“Would that lame compound that contained the spirit have endured the fire? After you melted it down with all the other stuff you had. ”

Oh, my God!

Parvasch's possessed toy is a plastic, no matter how magically enhanced. In other words, it is not a suitable totem. Nevertheless, we have so far been unable to rigorously transfer the spirit of Parvasse to other substances. The magic I unconsciously unfolded as a child was powerful, but there was no system, and the appearance of his spirit bonded to the substance was solid but messy. In a metaphor, the severed nerves and blood vessels were stapled and miraculously stitched, but I was worried about hemorrhaging again, so I couldn't touch it.

At least without such a totem, the situation gets worse. For the above reasons, the irrevocable contract of domicile has bound him and my soul. However, the spirit that lost the totem has no way to communicate with me. As the mediation between the spirit and substance disappears.

“When I found out, the one with the totem melted away was hovering around you in a state of mind. If you leave it alone, you'll be crushed by the magic of your kingdom. So I found a suitable doll and possessed it. But where the hell did you get so weak? Pretty good ice-creamers cling to each other. It was the exact opposite of not being able to touch your soul. He said he was weak, so he couldn't break it and stick it.”

Muttering with a frown.

“I couldn't even try. ”

“It's been a tough job for us, but not at your civilization level. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Anyway, you better wake him up later. You need to give your soul some more time to rest. ”

Totem is a toy, so Parvash always complained. Unfavorable to horsepower conduction, weak in durability, and above all too small in size. Things tailored to human life, especially computers and books, were too uncomfortable for him to use, so Parvashe regretted that his totem would have been better if it had been a little bigger. He said it a few times. If you can hand over a book page with one finger.

‘· · · Have you fulfilled your wishes? No, no matter how big this gets. ’

I fastened my eyes to the body, which I had to look up for a while, and then bowed my head to Zereth again. When I saw that something in my head interpreted the meaning of this gesture as' a common greeting from some parts of the planet ’, I thought that Jeremy understood my intentions.

“Thank you for saving Parvash. ”

“What, that's it. ”

I ask for a moment.

“I'm sorry to keep asking, but if it stabilizes, can you move it to another doll? ”

“I wouldn't recommend it. Too high a chance of mental damage. ”

It is the death of the body when it is struck by a human being that the body is damaged. Regardless of the contract, Parvash's soul will be sucked into the loop of Yun.

“Me, too, but if Parvasse breaks, he'll faint. ”

“I like your concerns, but you're not worried about your condition right now, are you? ”

I was going to ask.

“How long will it take for my body to recover? ”

I can't feel the magic in the doll's body. The channel is also in my original body. No, you can't keep living like this, even if you take this out!

Jeremy replied in an indifferent tone.

“Three days if it's short. 360 years if it's long.”

I lost my horse with my mouth open for a while.

“· · · Is the range of estimates too large? Given the human lifespan. ”

At that time, the Tellasmogayne got into the conversation.

It's the first time in pioneer history to recover such severely contaminated human flesh. They usually die before they get there. Your own survival is more of a miracle, and that makes calculation even more difficult. Arimist is still working on an operation that reduces the error range.

Introducing himself as an operator-level artificial soul, the voice added: I don't know how I survived the Great Joint, so I can't be sure when I'll recover.

Regardless of whether you die or not, it would take 360 years for normal human tissue to recover. Three days if it's a species standard that can maintain a healthy body, even if it's contaminated by pollution. Your recovery time will probably be determined within this range.

I murmured because it was absurd.

“At 360 years, humans usually have a life expectancy of · · · before that. ”

Reduce the speed at which the brain is consumed. to suppress activity as much as possible, to keep it close to hibernation. But I didn't do that right now. If you need it, you don't know.

Then the tellasmoguan said,

I'd love to experiment with your original body, but it's recovering, so it's impossible. At least now that we've regained consciousness, if you answer a few questions, the operation may be shorter. But I think we should postpone the Q&A.

“Why?”

The answer to that question was told by Jeremy.

“The young fugitive, summoned to this world with you. ”

“Flooring?”

“Oh, that's the name. Do you know why the boy was summoned to the Salvation Committee? ”

“I don't even know what the Old Testament Management Committee is. ”

It is a combination of words that is difficult to imagine.

“Is there any memory in the doll? It seems that the puppeteers who lent it deliberately left only minimal information. ”

He murmured like that, and Geret said,

“In a nutshell, I asked you for an interview. But the boy named Maru asked for your guardian in this world. And I refused the interview on your behalf. What the Commission summoned was to convince the floor. ”

The floor is my guardian?

Complex emotions pass through your chest.

“You want to talk to me? ”

“Yes. This rider's committee has more hot spots. You want to convince that kid. It's really rare for her to ask for an audience, so there are a lot of members who would like to hear it somehow. As the memory device tells you, do you not have this information? Anyway, the Ontarians think we owe her. ”

“· · · Yes? ”

“In the first place, the level of surveillance and welfare she now enjoys. Even for a short and limited time, I was allowed to maintain myself. ”

“Who is she that asked me to see her? ”

Geret said in a voice of bitterness.

“The savior of our world. ”

* * *

“Now, we're all set! ”

A purple world. Del Giants gather in a tall forest.

Their outfits were splendid as one. The clothing, coarsely woven with various silks, revealed both arms and legs and focused on covering the body without any star decoration, but was as varied and confusing as the colors. At least six different types of clothing were used in one garment.

Not far from the tower of the bones of the Progenitors, Carpal, the elder in charge of magic, steps forward.

“Colleagues! It's been two years since 'Jung', a friend of faith and a transvestite of precious doorways, gave us the sacrament of eternity for the first time! We desperately studied the teachings he left behind, and finally made a long way to go in history today! ”

A cheer, a laugh, a buzzing virtue from the crowd.

Calming them down, Elder Kafal pointed to the scent with one finger. There was a plastic soju cup that Yoon Min Joon gave to the giants in the past. Its identity is a shielded artifact.

Around it, the plastic glasses, as well as glasses made by carving wood of similar size, were placed at a certain distance. Not all of them are visible here, but they are placed in a form that surrounds the entire forest.

“The whole war with the cunning and lowly Ashpim has been stalled for a long time, but the drowning factions who wander through the wilderness have been hiding in the forest where we live for days to kidnap the young people we are gathering or to plunder our hunting grounds and resources. But that's the last time today! ”

Elder Carpal raises a wooden staff in his hand.

“Well, then, I'll open it! ”

The Elder conferred a magical power on the centrally located Sozuzan.

A faint light flickers at the end of her staff, and soon it shines on a plastic glass. The light led to the surrounding artifacts like a net. The moment the line and the line finally densely connected the entire forest.

A faint shield rises above their heads in the form of a dome. The shield completely envelops the huge forest. The dell 'Giants, who saw it, turned white like one on their faces.

“Success!”

“Finally, there is a shield around all our vast forests! ”

“Now those poor bastards won't be able to sneak into the woods! ”

It was followed by a cold cheer.

Giants who didn't originally have the concept of semi-permanent protection. To sustain the shield with their old common sense, the wizard with the artifact remained restless and focused.

Breaking that stereotype was Yoon Min-jun, and the artifact he gave Soju Zhaan. Elder Kafal, who was successful in learning the principles and crafting similar items. She resonated with the artifacts several years later today to create a massive shield that would cover the entire forest.

“It won't affect the size and power of the shield that Precious Jung made in the Mo Dimension. ”

The murmuring elder's face sparkled with satisfaction.

“Alternating and imparting magic will keep the shield going forward! ”

Everyone was excited and shouted the name of the elder. One of the giants raises Jupiter and says:

“Now, let's start the feast! ”

The moment the laughter was constantly flowing.

A terrible sound resounded in the sky, worthy of the great voice of the giants.

!!!

There is a static flow of lies among the giants who rejoiced.

“Hey, what are you talking about? ”

Their eyes are all drawn in one direction.

“It was the Silver Rim! ”

“Yes, it must be. That's what I heard. ”

And the vibrations that hit the ground.

Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

“Earthquake?! ”

The disturbing shock that swept through the forest lasted several minutes and then stopped.

“What the hell is going on? ”

Ask Elder Kafal in a trembling voice.

“No way, there's another blackout in Silver Rim? ”

The Del Giant clan has witnessed some strange events in the Hidden Rim. A bundle of bronze tentacles that suddenly appeared in the sky. It stretched from the direction of the silvery forest to the area where Dell's access was prohibited.

Shortly after the incident, there was another incident on the other side of the hill.

“You're anxious. What's going on in the Himalayas these days? ”

Since that time, two years ago, Yoon Min-jun and Gur confronted the savior of Silver Rim, Del Giant has never been on that side.

The atmosphere that preceded the feast was swift. Everyone gathered in an uneasy expression and spoke.

And it's a terrible sound that goes off again.

!!!

The giants trembled with fear without you or me. It was the first language they had heard since birth, but the voice they heard from the Silent Forest was engulfed in a great anger and a terrible malice they had not experienced.

After the incident, the elders stopped the people from going out into the forest for a while. But then there were a few strange, creepy noises that followed, and they decided to send reconnaissance to Silver Rim after a long meeting. Though it was not easy to cross the realm of the Ashpim Giant, I set up a scout in two years because I feared there might be a major disaster.

Less than a few days after everyone left the road, the scouts returned to the forest. What they told me was unbelievable.

In front of the elders, Scout Captain Gurr explained. They faced an unexpected situation because the map was not completely renewed. It was originally faced with an Ashpim colony that should not be there. This reconnaissance goal was not a battle, so the group attempted to bypass it quietly.

But the giants smelled strange in the distance. It was so nasty that the nose fell, the body smelled rotten.
