Hermit Wizard

* * *

Kim Kyung-hwan came into the living room from the inner courtyard and encountered the pearl house. Her face was full of water. The direction of the pearl house was toward the room of the leading and leading priests.

I asked her.

“Still no car? ”

The pearl clan shakes its head with a dark expression.

“The aorta isn't getting any worse. The more serious ones are the Priests of the Temple. ”

When Kim Kyung-hwan first saw the Jeon Priests, they were part of a huge mountain range and were hard to think of as creatures. But that day, when the traffickers invaded, the ground split and the earth became like muscle and gut fluctuations. The preacher priests turned completely different after pouring out their power in a sprint.

Kim Kyung-hwan saw some of the residents who escaped that day coming out with blood. It was said that what was in it was the priesthood.

Ever since the Yellow Forest and myself first fled, I never imagined what had happened in the White Book. How did those who had such a huge body that they could fit into a dizzying hillside, as soon as the sanctuary collapsed, become smaller than a human baby?

Kim Kyung-hwan didn't know the truth because he had never looked inside. Nothing has ever been witnessed since they were unable to enter or leave their room in the villa.

“How bad are you? ”

“Everybody, yeah. It's not good. I'm losing my life. Residents are helping out alternately, but I can't help it. Maybe you'll lose them all. ”

The eyes of the pearl family were filled with tears and swelling.

“As you can see, it would be a crowd to take back what was once devoted to God. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan asked about the common sense he knew.

“Did they give their original body to God? ”

In combination with the earth, the body that existed as part of a huge mountain did not appear to be normal.

“I'm not a priest, I don't know, but I'm not exactly devoted to the body, but to the freedom to be separated from the earth. Now that the earth is gone, the existence itself is contradictory and unjust. It's a miracle that you're still alive, but why don't you all lose the energy of life and your body crumble and your soul go up to the side of God? The priests thought it was a good thing to get out of the loop, but I honestly don't know. ”

The pearl clan disappeared after tears were drawn from the garment pus.

Looking at her back for a while, Kim Kyung-hwan went back out to the courtyard. I felt reluctant in the villa. The energy of death seemed to leak from the room where the priests were. The Wizard's senses reacted, not just to the mood.

He climbs the stairs leading to the roof. It was sunny. I didn't see the garam that used to roll around here and sunbathe. After confirming that there was no one around, Kim Kyung-hwan brought his hand to his ear. It wasn't even a secret story, but it seemed like it would be a conversation that the people of the White Book couldn't be pleasantly listened to.

Magical power flowed at the end of the hand. Wait for the opponent to react. A little time later, a signal came. Only Wizards who know the spell have initiated communication. It wasn't long since I learned this magic from Yoon Min-jun. Even this fundamental thing, he did not learn in the days of Hung Leung.

I opened my mouth.

“Time okay? ”

With magic, the opponent's words echo in his head.

“How's the water? ”

The first was to ask the priest for his regards. She also received a lot of help from the Mac when she stayed in the backlog. The waterworks were mild in character and deep in consideration. It was a completely different personality from the Garam, even though it was a people. Without the care of him and the pearl house, the life in the white book, which was in fact nothing more than imprisonment, might have been very frustrating.

“It doesn't make any difference. But it doesn't get any worse. ”

“· · · Yes? ”

She also saw the moment when she lost her mind. It seemed to remain in my head in a shocking scene.

The Sunset Forest changed the question.

“How long are you going to be there? ”

Kim Kyung-hwan shrugs even though he won't see it.

“I don't know, right now. ”

“I don't know how much harder it is to be around him. I've seen God eat the world, I've seen the realm of God crumble, I've seen the apostles die, so next time I might see one of God or both worlds perish. ”

“No way. How could that happen? ”

Yellow Forest turned into a snot-nosed fart and said,

“And not the high priest, but the high priest? ”

She also witnessed the recklessness of the priesthood of all time. When I moved the pearl family's words as they were, the Yellow Forest muttered and groaned.

“What the hell happened to you guys? ”

Kim Kyung-hwan explained what he heard.

“I think the space called the backlog itself was supported by the priesthood. ”

The backlog was a subspace that was thoroughly isolated from the surroundings. If Yoon Min-jun's subspace is about the size of a house, the backlog is vast, including large mountains, fields, villages, and rivers. In the first place, the power of God made it possible, although it could not exist under the surface of the Han River. I had no idea how much it would cost for that miracle.

“Fertile soil, clear water, breathing air. In order to maintain this environment, the god used to constantly ask for sacrifices. Like the name, I needed blood and oil. That's how much time the inhabitants have spent sacrificing their blood and oily lives. ”

“· · · So it was. ”

“You guessed. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan recalled the words of the pearl family and explained. It was their secret that only after the sanctuary collapsed and God was disconnected.

“At first, a small beast was enough. But as the transcendents gathered and the number of inhabitants increased, God demanded more sacrifice. And that old man Margora, who was the first priest, you saw, right? He made a decision. Instead of giving more lives, one of them sacrificed himself to keep the backlog. ”

“But he was alive. ”

The Yellow Forest realized the meaning of what he said. It came back to be a creepy scar.

“No way, alive? ”

“Yes. I fed my own blood and oil to the earth alive. As a priest serving that god, I gained the privilege of not dying, unlike other offerings. The body was massively called and connected to the earth. She absorbed the planet's energy around White Rock, produced nourishment, made blood and oil, and dedicated it to God. ”

Hwang Soo-rim recalled Yoon Min-jun's story. Hanlasan, who was originally in the town, looks fine, but the internal planet energy is almost depleted?

Kim Kyung-hwan said.

“That privilege wasn't even free. In exchange for being sacrificed and not dying, Margo became inseparable from the earth. The priesthood was handed over to another inhabitant. But as time went by, God demanded more offerings, even though the number of inhabitants had not increased much. One priest was not enough. ”

“So the next priest too? ”

“Yes. Two priests were the culprits. That tiger followed Margot. It's connected to the earth, providing blood and oil. The priesthood was handed over to a three-headed crow. ”

“That's how it went on. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan took out what he was thinking about doing or not. It was from now on that other residents might be offended.

“In fact, some people think that the sanctuary has collapsed and is doing rather well. ”

“I'm pretty sure. He died anyway, and the torturers were crushed. You don't have to hide in it. ”

“Yes. When the dragon was alive, the backlog was a sanctuary necessary to be thoroughly isolated from humans under the Convention. After the dragon died, it was needed as a fortress to guard against the traffickers. They're both settled now, aren't they? The last thing I hesitated about was the risk of exposure to humans, and there are some people who think it's worth considering. Actually, the last reason was close to an excuse. ”

“Even if one day you didn't have to hide in the sanctuary, you didn't have the courage to speak confidently to God. ”

“· · · Accurate. How do you even think about it when you only hear about it? ”

“Obviously. It was nice of me to pray for refuge when I was sad. But don't you think you won't be able to get rid of the room even after you don't need it? I'm sure the landlord thought his temper was filthy, his strength was strong, and if he got caught up, he could kill the tenants in the dust. ”

It was true. Residents were afraid of how God would react. It would not have been possible to insist on escaping the sanctuary even after the persecution.

But it was indeed an exquisite time. The fall of the torturers and the collapse of the sanctuary took place at the same time. The wishes of some of the inhabitants who wanted to leave the sanctuary were fulfilled.

Yellow forest tucked, threw a horse.

“As you say. Maybe it's a good one. If it was a world where someone had to sacrifice, it would have been better if it had collapsed. More priests would have been sacrificed if they had kept the white book intact. ”

“Well, in those days, sacrifice was inevitable. It's a little hard to think about our standards right now. ”

“Even if we don't fit our ethics now, did we fit the swings of those days? It's dangerous to put a lot of relativism into ethics. A moral rule that is important to anyone is a concept that can be ignored by anyone else? Culture can do that. But you can't give up on the most basic rule. Do you know what happens when you involve relativism in all the moral rules? What do you call the ultimate ethical relativist in our society? ”

“· · · What do you call it? ”

“Psychopath.”

Kim Kyung-hwan shakes his head. I don't know about the past of the Yellow Forest, but sometimes I get this weird feeling. and poured out words that were hard to understand.

Besides, Kim Kyung-hwan was not the type who was interested in ethics during the school year. No, in fact, the school was just a shaky place.

He decided to change the subject.

“Hey, not Sibiger. I'm worried about asking. Is what you're trying to do ethical? ”

“You don't know. ”

“Where are you now? ”

“China.”

Kim Kyung-hwan raised her eyebrows.

“Where are you going? The Chinese are after you, too. Isn't it like crawling into a crocodile agary? ”

“I couldn't help it because of what I'm doing. I couldn't fly elegantly like Yoon Min-jun, but I had to hide on a passenger ship and drive. I'm not getting caught. I'm running. ”

What's going on? Kim Kyung-hwan said in his mouth.

“Is the vengeance still unfinished? Are you even connected to China? ”

“I don't know any details. It's my job.”

Then the Yellow Forest asked.

“Are there any Chinese kids around you these days? ”

“Nothing. In the first place, I'm stuck here and I don't go out there. ”

“· · · Yes? But be careful. Actually, there's one reason I decided to come here. You know, the Chinese wizards are pretty much all over Korea, right? I've been wandering around all by myself since the White Rock incident, so there were kids attached to me. But at some point, it was all gone. They weren't at the level where I'd miss a trace. Strange. I'm confused about what it means to disappear from my eyes. Are they completely out of hand to both of us? ”

Huangsoo Forest hesitated to say the following, but Kim Kyung-hwan understood the omitted part.

“· · · Are you an intensive target? ”

“It could be. Where is Yoon Min Joon now? Is he with you? ”

Kim Kyung-hwan recalled what Yoon Min-jun said when he left the vacation home a while ago.

“I thought you were going somewhere dangerous. He told me a lot about what to do about the situation. ”

“Dangerous? Are you going to another world? ”

Kim Kyung-hwan shrugs again.

“Last time, you fought the Yong clan in two dimensions. Apart from God and the Crusaders, are there any more dangerous than dragons? Wherever you go, you'll be safer than you were before. ”
