Hermit Wizard

Roll reported in a trembling voice.

“It was a really bizarre scene. There were so many bodies. All of them were regrettable. In view of the size of the colony, more than half of its inhabitants seemed to be dead. But the strange thing is, there was no trauma other than corruption. ”

“· · · plague? ”

“I'm not sure. Here, I brought some of the luggage they threw away. ”

It was similar to a journal written in the language of Ashpim. Elder Kafal, who was very academic, was able to read.

Records were being circulated. This side that happened in the village of Ashpim. It was from the wizard who showed the strange symptoms. He vomited sticky mucus from his mouth, and a ghost escaped from his body, hovering around the streets, and eventually died. Afterwards, symptoms spread to ordinary Ashpims.

At first, they fell by one or two, but after some time, more than a hundred Ashpims expressed symptoms simultaneously. Eventually, the surviving Ashpims thought they were cursed and left town.

After the interpretation, Elder Kafal sighed.

“I need to find the old records. I wonder if something similar has happened in the past. ”

The face of the old giant was full of water.

* * *

I couldn't take it easy.

“The savior of this world wants to see me? ”

“Yes. A child named Maru refused to respond to the request as a guardian, but after interviewing the committee he seems to have broken. I just got word. ”

The faint light around the talking jeret oscillated in various patterns. Geret seemed to interpret the meaning it conveys.

Tellasmogayne said.

That's right. The human patient needs to leave right now. You don't have time to ask questions with me.

The void trembled once more before the words were finished. It was a small pile of tentacles that protruded through the gap. Nice to meet you. I called you by name.

“Floor!”

I got caught in a strange flame like me, but no visible injuries. I was glad.

“Huh? No way?”

I wanted to look at my appearance with a long and delicate gaze, and I reached out my tentacles.

“I can't tell because my soul is not attached. Is it seclusion?”

“Yes!”

The floor jumped into the air and sat on my shoulder. I reach out my tentacles and squeal my shoulders and chest and mutter.

“Exploration doll? ”

Zerrett replied that he was right.

“It was impossible, so that was the only way. ”

“Ah! Thank you, Jeremy. ”

The tentacles of the one who bowed to me after God greeted me were covered with the same faint film of light as the chaos song or the one hovering around Zereth's body.

When you wonder about the identity of matter, meaning flows from the temples. I read the name.

“Photon Information Collection · · ·? ”

Maru replied.

“That's right. Compared to a concept familiar to secrecy, it's a garment for pioneers, an ID card, an Internet network, a computer, an immunization vaccine, three meals at the same time. ”

What the hell kind of function are you doing? I was observing that scattered herd of light, and the floor murmured in a slightly rusty voice.

“In the first place, I guess my father didn't even think about making me something like this. The pioneers here gave it to me as a gift. ”

However, the Old Testament did not plant loyalty because he did not intend to give even intelligence to the Maru in the first place. This allows the floor to act with pure free will, but it still makes me angry when I hear the floor.

“Anyway, seclusion. I'm sorry. I tried to avoid it somehow, but I couldn't stand the words of those old people called the committee. It's a sudden story, but I think I need to meet the savior of the world. ”

“Yes, I heard it through Jeremy. ”

“I'm anxious too, but I can't help it. There was a little accident because of the secret spirit. ”

Did you say that the soul extractor was broken?

“Due to its reaction, which cannot be seen as an ordinary mortal, some members doubt that the existence of secrecy itself is a prank of God. A spy controlled by a god. Then the savior told me that he wanted to meet with the secret in person. If you continue to refuse in this situation, you may be expelled from this world before the body of secrecy is fully restored. ”

I nod.

“Yeah, I can't. You don't have to be sorry. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have avoided the horrible. ”

I looked at my original body in the glass tubes. If the recovery process of the pioneers who borrowed their skills is stopped, there is only death left for me.

“Don't worry. The committee promised that the Savior would do no harm to his secrecy. I'm about 1,200 lawsuits against the committee for breaking that promise. Neither is the Commission afraid that it will break its promise. ”

Tellasmogayne agreed with Maru.

Operator-level artificial spirits dedicated to the committee are still overloaded. If it takes more than half of the lawsuits, it's more than halfway through. This must be the most horrible nightmare the Commission can imagine.

“After all 1,200 judgments, I'll walk 2,200 more. I made it clear there! “

· · · The legal system in this world looks a little different from that of the Earth.

“I don't like it, but I think we should leave right now. ”

I nod. It seemed clear that it was the Commission that played an important role in this world. You can trust the promise of such a existence.

Zerrett said.

“There is no way to leap directly from my room to the Old Man's room. Do you know how to navigate? ”

Maru looked at him and said,

“Yes, I'm used to using it now. ”

Then I called this a room. Take a fresh look around. Structure like the interior of a hollow sphere. Unknown tools float all over the void.

The floor that was staring at the light that wrapped around his body said.

“I'm going to have to go through a publicly owned room in the middle. ”

I asked in case.

“Are you going outside where that white fire was boiling? ”

Jeremy moved his tentacles to express his denial.

“No. Every space where the pioneers live can be moved without going through the outside. No matter how long the pioneer's body is exposed to the holy fire, it's dangerous. ”

I said, recalling the external environment that first fell from the emergency transmission.

“No, why do you come together in the first place on such an extreme environmental planet? With this kind of technology, it's also possible to find a viable planet and migrate. ”

I had no choice but to stop talking while I was asking. As I answered my question, meaning permeated the temples. After understanding it, I trembled lightly.

“· · · Yes. In this dimension, where the pioneers live, there are · · · · ·. ”

It was a concept I had never imagined.

“There are no more planets, no more galactic concepts. ”

The information from the temple play was shared with me. A long time ago, all planets and galaxies with masses had already collapsed. After all the stars have disappeared, the flames of white flames that boil for the time remaining are said to be the world itself. A fiery fire that even pioneers with a powerful body can't last long.

“So the space occupied by the pioneers is confined solely to the interior of countless rooms like this one. ”

Geret moved his tentacles and expressed his positive intentions.

“These rooms, they replace the stars of the old universe. ”

The pioneer's room was not locked in normal space-time. An elaborately hidden shadow between space and time. That allowed me to avoid the brutal fire that burned and polluted everything.

Now I understood the phenomenon and its meaning, but I couldn't find the cause in my head.

“Is it natural that the universe is old? ”

“Of course not. It's the result of what our ancestors did long ago. ”

“What happened? ”

Jeremy said in a trembling voice.

“I put up a fight with God, and I lost. ”

· · · · · · No, these dudes, really.

I've lost my word and I'm tired of my mouth.

“The Progenitors were arrogant. I started putting the savior in my hand and controlling it, and then I wondered if I could do the same for God. Progenitors didn't like the idea of putting restrictions on imagination and execution at the time. ”

“Does that mean you're going to control God? ”

“We were looking for a way to be complete without eating the world. But the Old Testament didn't come up with the right answer. So the Progenitors turned their eyes in a different way. It was to explore those closest to perfection and find a way. ”

I hit Ginger with just my imagination.

“· · · It's so crazy. ”

“It's crazy. But there was a reason for it, and it was insane to achieve it in its own way. ”

“The achievement of the world collapsing? ”

The Tellasmogayne got into the conversation.

The world hasn't collapsed.

Yes, the pioneers survived in this environment. They are really great civilizations, they are great writers.

“Is sanctification God's punishment? ”

That's right. When the traditional method of planting didn't work, God cut off some of his existence and let him go into this world. God can be anything, he can make himself anything. Sanctuary is a disaster that exists only to harass and eradicate the inhabitants of this world.

The world that exists to pain the beings who live there, to kill them. A place where the fire that never goes out builds the universe. I finally realized what the world of pioneers was like. Yes, the word "hell" would be the name to be given to a world like this.

“Then the world collapsed, too! ”

But the pioneers survived.

It was undeniable. I looked at Jeremy.

“God did not destroy this world. No, I didn't. ”

Identifying that fact was an accomplishment. The hostile event to God was initially thought to be a pioneer's mistake, but over time, various historical interpretations have taken place.

Geret and Tellasmogayne alternated and said:

“Souls are the smallest, the energy that can no longer be decomposed, the source of everything. You know what the only way to get rid of a soul like that is? It's eating away. Eat and absorb. The world is the same. The only way to destroy the world is to eat all or part of it. ”

God didn't do that. Instead of destruction, there is an interpretation that I would have wanted to keep pioneers in agony forever. But pioneers don't live that desperately right now. If that's the point, God has failed.

“You don't like the way we survived now, do you? Then God could eat this world and destroy it. But I didn't. ”

The pioneers who realize that come to this conclusion. Maybe it's not something you haven't eaten, it's something you can't eat.

“It's strange to think that God planted a means of restraining the Savior. If you want to stop the Savior, you just have to eat the world instead of the Savior. But the gods don't do that. ”

You can't.

I barely asked, drifting into an unexpected concept.

“Why can't you eat? ”

“There are various hypotheses. Perhaps the hypothesis that eating the world itself is detrimental to the integrity sought by the gods is prevailing. It was an essential gateway to becoming a god, but when you become a god, you drop it. ”

I wanted to think about the meaning more slowly, but the floor urged me. When I entrust myself to his tentacles, the space seems to be preparing to leap again.

“Well, goodbye. ”

When you get back, this psychic synchronization should be complete.

Geret shakes the tentacles with a howl. The landscape suddenly changed the last time I saw it.

“What is this place? ”

“This room is public goods. ”

A vast space that doesn't compare to Zerrett's room a little while ago. The void was filled with strange buildings and devices, diverse creatures and luminous masses.

Khhhh!

I hear familiar cries from afar. I shrunk instinctively. The floorboards shout near the cheers.

“Wow, he's so cute! ”

I followed the gaze of the floor. The pearl hears the sound of flapping.

“· · · for? ”

It was a dragon with a slightly smaller body than the dragon clan seen in other worlds, with yellow fluorescent and pink stripes crossing in a zebra pattern. From my perspective, it is a vertical descent, but from these positions on the other side, the dragon is winging vigorously toward the frontal direction, and the tentacles are relaxing behind it as it floats.

The floor looked at him and he was flat.

“You must have come out for a walk. ”

Pioneers and pets in this space were using 3D space faithfully. Human society is immobilized on a two-dimensional earth, that is, on a plane. It takes advantage of the skyscrapers to reach high spaces, but when you look at each floor, you end up living on a flat space.

But this place was completely different. Utilize 360 degree space inside the sphere faithfully. Depending on each position, the bottom of someone's foot was someone's front, and some of their horizons were perpendicular to others.

“You can take a leap with another room, but you can't use a teleport in the room. Seclusion, let's go over there. ”

Where the tentacles of the floor point, the light blows like the wind. As you approach it, the surrounding landscape quickly sweeps away. In my play, I told you that this is the concept of 'road’. Instead of walking by a pedestrian using the road, the way the road itself moves and moves the pedestrian.

To some extent, the point of leap came out. The floor wraps around me and leaps into another room.

After a few more rooms of public goods, we finally reached our destination.

“· · · Huh? This place is like a normal planet. ”

There was only one horizon, one vertical line. I stand in the middle of the forest on the ground.

“The savior would have created the environment he wanted. ”

I heard birds chirping. Whenever the wind blows, the shadow of a branch touches the earth. The scented grass and sun meet and tickle her cheeks. I also heard the sound of water not far away.

Peaceful air.

“Can we just wait? ”

“Yeah, I'll be right out. ”

Maru's words were true. A little while later, a foreigner dressed in a strange garment stood before us. A human body structure. I wasn't a pioneer. But there was no information in my head about such a species.

I looked at him and asked.

“· · · Are you the savior of this world? ”

He smiles with a pleasant voice. The stuttering on my forehead was exhausting.

“No, I am an artificial soul to help him. To be precise, it's a subset of operator-level artificial souls whose sole mission is to care for the saviors of this world. I'll show him the guests. ”

The floor made a sound that could only be heard in my ears and whispered.

“I mean the keeper of this prison. ”
