Hermit Wizard

In a moment.

We came out of the oily room and sat in the living room. A pearl house transformed into a human being looks at me.

“Yoon really knows all kinds of strange beings in the world. ”

I scratch my cheeks.

“Ah, well. ”

“Do you have a contract with those transparent insects? ”

The insect she's talking about is a Lamansetzvia parasite. Just as the scene she saw in the room was shocking, she shook her elongated head.

Just a moment ago, I looked at the state of the water and once again opened the channel to the path [it] was leading. Then a flock of parasitic ants came out, covering the body of the mighty water, and began to bite, swallow, and rebuild the contaminated flesh. That work is still ongoing.

Even if you pour recovery magic and elixir on the oily water, it continues to deteriorate because the contaminated body is falling from the inside. For the perfect treatment, the site had to be removed.

I think for a moment about how to answer the questions of the pearl house.

“Actually, I don't have a contract with him. ”

I never had a contract with the queen ant. I just delivered my will as [he] guided me.

I made the same request this time. I want you to restore the body of the race before my eyes. I want you to get rid of all the parts contaminated with divine power.

Like the two previous attempts, the queen ant did not respond to my message. Just quietly, I sent so many ants beyond the channel I opened.

I open my eyes as if the pearl house is surprising.

“So those insects are helping at no cost? ”

“I don't think I need to pay for it. ”

[That] clearly told me. The queen ant said she wouldn't ask me for a price.

“Anyway · · ·. ”

I spin the topic.

“You don't have to worry too much, because the ants that were contaminated much more severely than the oil. ”

When I heard that, the pearl house and Garam's face faded, but the color returned.

“Whoo. Thank you, Yoon. I can barely breathe anymore. ”

The pearlist sighs deeply and smiles with relief. Garam looks at me with a serious face.

“If the · · · type comes to life, I will be sure of the case. Thank you so much.”

I nod and answer.

“Get in touch with Hachim right now. Since the prefect priests offered sacrifices to God, I don't know if they can recover, but it won't hurt to try the same thing. ”

“Yes! I'll communicate with my father right now. ”

For them, the time remaining would have been much shorter. Garam gets up quickly and prepares to perform the trick.

At that time, Kim Gyeong-hwan came in as the front door opened.

“Oh, I thought the gate was open. I see you're back!”

I get sweaty and come into the house because I've been practicing.

“Eh? No parvashes? ”

Parvasse went to check the warehouse set up in a separate place. Thanks to him, Kim Kyung-hwan did not find him and screamed or howled.

By the way · · ·.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

I couldn't shake my gaze at Kim Kyung-hwan. Open your eyes.

As he approaches, something strange is caught in my senses.

“There was no such thing as luck in the meantime. I struggled to memorize both the type of traps installed in this house and how to activate them. Well, I'm lucky I never used to. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan raises his voice in a slight manner, knowing that he is a member of the family.

“I didn't come back for more than a week this time, and I was so worried about Minseo. Where have you been? Are you sure there's another dimension? ”

I was looking at him quietly, not reluctantly.

Then others, including him, noticed that my reaction was strange. I felt like I was faking it.

“What's wrong with you? In case I make any mistakes. ”

I cut him off.

“· · · Good. We're done with the analysis. Let's do the same. ”

“Yes?”

Turn your eyes as if the floor is suspicious.

“What's that supposed to mean, cover-up? ”

“Didn't you even feel it? ”

“· · · What do you mean? ”

“That son of a bitch, he's been hanging around without me. ”

With an incomprehensible look on everyone's face, I exude a very fine magical power out of my body.

It was the same as the horsepower signal coming from Kim Kyung-hwan's body.

At the same time, it blocks the horsepower around his body.

“Hey, what the hell! ”

Kim Kyung-hwan's face turned white because of my sudden behavior. All the rest are puzzled and watch the situation.

“It looks like it's just a location tracking feature. Suddenly, the observer will be doubtful. ”

After speaking, I made a simple order. The rays that protrude like bullets from the palm of his hand weigh heavily on Kim Kyung-hwan's body, and he falls into place trembling. Then I lost consciousness.

When the situation is unusual, everyone is alert and ready for battle, but I give out my palm and signal that it's okay. Reach Kim Kyung-hwan who fell on the floor.

“Floor, some elixirs. ”

Instead of asking back what I said, the floor quietly pulls out the glass bottle in the backpack. After confirming that, I bounce my finger.

Whoops!

Spam!

Two magic blades, embodied at the tips of his hands, fly to Kim Kyung-hwan and cut off his ears.

“Ugh!”

I heard a nervous pearlist breathing. Blood spills from the cut. Before there was a puddle in the floor, the floor quickly poured Elixir. The wound heals and Kim Kyung-hwan's two ears regenerate.

I turned my gaze and put the cut piece on the palm of my hand.

“Seclusion, why the ear? ”

The floor approaches and asks.

“Take a closer look. Don't you feel weird? ”

Listen to me and focus on my mind. Then, I finally wanted to notice him as well.

“Huh? What is this? Very fine horsepower! ”

“It's flowing like some kind of signal system, isn't it? ”

I don't know who did this, but it's a prank to track the location.

I also explained the situation to the pearl house and Garam.

“But · ·! ”

The pearlist said he didn't understand.

“That bachelor hasn't been out of the villa since he got here. I've never been in contact with an outsider. It's a natural story, but no one came here. But how did that happen? ”

I asked Maru to search the pioneer's network. Kim Kyung-hwan's ear was attached to a small artificially made horsepower circuit that had not existed when he was originally born. It seemed that Kim Kyung-hwan's magic power was being used to create a fine signal until now. A trivial wave of power that no one even knew about the inhabitants of the backlog.

The floor scanned the interior of the two ears, which were cut using an informatics thinker, and then compared it to the data in the communications network. Soon he found the answer.

“The means of forming the horsepower circuit seems to be some kind of 'sound'. ”

I don't understand.

“Sound?”

“Yes. It's a spell-specific spell in some worlds. Even if you're talking in plain language, you're mixing sounds outside of the audible frequency in the middle. The body part exposed to that vibration is slowly deforming. While not noticing for yourself. ”

Garam raises his head.

“You heard the sound and your body changed? So what's the impact on us who were in the same space? ”

It was certainly a possible story, and we gathered all the villagers in the villages to examine it. However, none of them reacted like Kim Kyung-hwan.

After one inspection, Kim Kyung-hwan woke up, and I explained what happened.

I ask.

“You've never been outside this area, have you? You've never had contact with an outsider? ”

“Yes, of course. ”

He nods with a shriveled face. In fact, there was no sign that he went outside.

“Videos or music? ”

“There's no time to see and hear that. ”

According to Maru, in order to be deformed to this extent, he must have been exposed to sound for at least an hour.

“Think about it. It's an hour. It doesn't have to be continuous. Even if cut off and divided in the middle, they have been exposed to certain sounds regularly for about an hour. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan's body hardens as he hears it.

“· · · ah, are you? ”

His face pales as if he had escaped everywhere.

“Oh, no way. It can't be! ”

I can't speak easily and my lips are fluttering. Everyone's gaze pours down on him.

When I thought about it, I sounded like I was talking.

“· · · · · sister? ”

It's an unexpected word, so I raise my eyebrows.

After that, I started to harden my face as I listened to the stuttering.

“How many more calls have you made since I left? ”

“· · · Yes. I worry too much about myself. · · · But I didn't talk long on the phone once. It's an untraceable caller, but if it gets too long, I might get caught. However, if you put them all together, it will definitely be more than an hour. ”

My face becomes depressed.

“But my sister? ”

Seeing the look on his face, it seems like a nightmare is passing through his head.

“Are you being blackmailed? · · · Or control? ”

My voice trembles.

“But who the hell is it? ”

I copied the signal and told him what I had learned.

“I've been tracking where the signals from your two ears lead, and I don't know what they did to your sister, but I think they're probably related to the destination. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan swallowed the dried saliva.

“Where is it? ”

The place where the signal arrived was not surprising.

I answer briefly.

“North Gyeonggi.”

* * *

A few days later, I was sitting on a park bench outside Seoul.

A man walks a long way as he waits for an extra ten minutes. An ordinary outfit. It was a good way to look at it as a local.

He sits quietly by my side. I knew. As much as I am now transformed into a completely different impression and body, he is now completely transformed as well.

He blocks the perimeter with a shield and then he opens his mouth.

“Good to see you, great wizard. My name is Lagamenone. ”

“This is Yoon Min Joon.”

The opponent goes straight to the point, scarily before I give him a greeting.

“How do you know Gramperi's secret communications network? ”

Turning his head, he quietly looks at the side face of the Gramperi who have been transformed into Koreans. His eyes were filled with an unmistakable confusion and impatience.

A moment of silence.

I ignore his questions and turn the topic around.

“Nowadays, the Grampers are sneaking into the United States and some other countries to track down and eliminate the Great Convention Guardian party, right? ignoring the Chinese government's opposition. You're part of a group that left Chinese territory. ”

A very confused gaze shakes in the air. I felt the magic communication rushing in and out. I nodded gently to see if I was instructed.

“· · · · yes. ”

“Why did you start doing that? ”

A gentle confession is followed by a brief stumbling block.

“You were also involved in the Han River incident. ”

I knew what I was talking about. The day the backlog collapsed, the fight against the traffickers in the Han River Park. And, clashes between the Old Testament and the Apostles.

“The leadership of the MoD has identified the apostle through video. The God of the Apostles is a very dangerous rapidity that makes the mortals die and kill each other. Unless we know that the Wizard Hunters of the Earth are linked to such an apostle of God, we must lift the source of the blockade before the danger reaches our dimension! ”

I hang up.

“Isn't that too weak a motive? ”

“It is the decision of the leadership. ”

“Do I have to go against the Chinese government? Some of you went out of your territory and acted, and China opposed it to the end? Departure itself is more like a secret. The connection between the Chinese government and the Grampéry is almost collapsing. ”

“I will not deny it. ”

I shrug.

“I was just thinking, maybe it's too weak a motive for the consequences. ”

He looks at the Gramferi who turned his face upside down and talks.

“I tried to get in touch with you first, but it was amazing to see you so quickly and so gently. ”

“· · · I had to. Are you in contact with the MoD leadership? I imagine it's close to delusion, but I can't turn a blind eye to this possibility. How do you know our signalling system and password without it? And why the leadership has ordered you to make contact like this! ”

“What did the leadership ask me to get? ”

Gramperi was silent for a moment, and opened his mouth again.

“We think you have a dimensional map. ”

“Does Grampery want a dimensional map? ”

“Yes, we are willing to pay the right price to acquire it. ”

“Why would Grampery want a dimensional map? ”

“· · · Of course not? We are not satisfied at the moment. Dream of moving on. It is the eternal residence of our people that brings this civilization to an even more glorious stage. ”

I deliberately put a smile in my mouth. and ask in a harsh tone.

“Is it really Grampery's? ”

The opponent didn't notice the truth behind my words.

“What is that? · ·. ”

And the next moment.

Gramperi's body hardens like a plaster statue.

And something in it, not a Gramperi, sent me a psychic wave.

· · · Do not stimulate our hosts. Keep secrets that must never be divulged. As promised in the first place.

I shrug.

“I did it on purpose. Before we talk to the host, I think we need to talk to the person in it first. ”

I relayed my doctor again, and then a long, thin creature began to crawl out of Grampery's eye.

It was Imere.
