Isaac

“I'm sorry. ”

“You know I'm sorry. Why did he do that? What an unusual inspiration. ”

What am I supposed to do? ’

A flame rises from the snow and you see Isaac holding Eggbam in both hands.

“Now, hold on! I apologized. What's wrong with you? ”

“Are you done torturing people and saying you're sorry? The world is at ease. ”

It's not a threat. The old man, who is desperate enough to think he's going to explode the Eggbam without hesitation, quickly moves his shadow as he approaches Isaac.

“Him!”

“Oh!”

Suddenly, a shadow rises from the ground and attacks like a whip. Isaac flinches back, but the end of the whip strikes his wrist and drops the egg balm.

Tsk! Tsk.

Isaac and the old man's gaze settles on the rolling egg balm, and they look up.

“Kheh-heh. Jarong is finished, arrogant. I will not let you live or die. ”

The situation reverses, and dozens of thin, smoky shadows rise from the old man's feet.

“That's scary. That's scary. I'm afraid I'm just gonna die. ”

Isaac pulls another egg out of his arms, and the old man yells with a frantic expression.

“You maniac! How many eggs do you carry around? ”

“I carry it around so I don't get hit anywhere. ”

Isaac grabs the left coat and opens it, boasting in the old man's cry. Inside, the coat is lined with egg balms hanging like berries.

In a narrow tunnel. The ground crumbs are falling down with no ceilings or walls covered.

The old man considers moving his shadow to attack Isaac, but his armor is still functioning. You can't even calculate how many more attacks you have to attack in order to consume all of the defense gear.

In the meantime, Isaac has plenty of time to blow up the egg night. No matter how crazy I was, I thought I was going to blow up Eggbam, but I decided that he had enough head and breasts.

How the hell did this plan get so screwed up? The old man thought about it, but there was no answer. Was I supposed to keep holding on? But I knew that damn piece of armor would resist any impulse from outside my own judgment.

‘Hmph. I knew you bought the Eggbam in bulk when you were scraping, but you didn't write it yourself. ’

It was the actions of an old man who knew the information but ignored it. Isaac bites a cigarette on his mouth as the old man blames himself for his mistake.

“Hey, old man. ”

“Hmm?"

When the old man looks slightly anxious to do something else, he lights a new cigarette and spits a puff of smoke at the old man.

“Let's negotiate. ”

“…… negotiation? ”

“What's inspiration, you need the queen's work? ”

“…… Yes. ”

“I don't know what it is, and I don't need it. ”

“So?”

“Well, if you give me the right price, I can give you the queen's work. ”

“… for the right price? ”

“That's right. I don't really know what the Queen's work looks like. So if you can tell us who it is and who has it, inspiration will help us get it. ”

“…… what do I have to do in return? ”

“I'm glad you're talking. I wish this had happened sooner. ”

“Shut up! Just tell me the terms! ”

At the old man's work, Isaac smiled and said that he had pulled out a stallion embedded in the wall of the shaft and threw it and received it with one hand.

“It's simple. This is what inspiration found, right? ”

“…… Yes. ”

“Exactly. I'll help you find the queen's work. Instead, it provides information on the location of the stable stone and various minerals on my land. Don't you think this is the right deal? ”

“ ……. ”

Isaac makes the old man confused by his proposal. It is the first human being to negotiate with himself in his lifetime.

“…… Do you know that I'm the Black Wizard? ”

“But?”

“Do you think Central will stand by and watch a man deal with the Black Wizard? ”

“Don't you want to be seen? ”

“Are you really going to make a deal with me? ”

“Then shall we die here together? ”

Isaac takes his hand again at night, and the old man shouts in a hurry.

“Wait! Got it! But how can I trust you? Can you swear you're not just lying to get out of this place? ”

“There must be more solid evidence than an oath. Well, don't you have a contract or something? ”

“ ……. ”

There is, and the old man is trying to cut a deal. But I didn't know Isaac was going to make the deal first. The old man pulls a crystal ball out of his chest and says, floating in the air.

“Since poison and curses don't work on you anyway, let's keep a video of you negotiating with me as your doctor. ”

“Suit yourself. I deal with the Black Wizard completely as my own physician. Instead of helping me acquire what the Black Wizard wanted from the Queen, I made a deal with the Black Wizard to obtain information about various mineral resources. What, is that enough? ”

Isaac looked at the crystal ball and said without hesitation, the old man hesitated and recovered the crystal ball.

“…… I'm telling you, I don't think you do. If the evidence against the Black Wizard gets into Central hands, I won't let you go. ”

“Be careful not to get caught, old man. ”

“ ……. ”

“Well, that's convenient. ”

“ ……. ”

Isaac admires the existence of the secret passageway as the end of the tunnel opens, but the old man walks ahead of the passageway without saying a word.

Isaac wandered around the hallway, wondering if he could find an old man.

“Hey, old man. How am I supposed to be the Dark Wizard? Is that so hard to do? ”

“ ……. ”

The old man lost his words. Man has never asked me how to become a Black Wizard in my life. I have to spend my life hiding in the shadows and avoid the eyes of Central.

A black wizard like that, like a job, "Hard work? How's your income? Do you work hard on your shoulders when you're a Black Wizard? ’I felt skeptical about whether the contract with that person, asking useless questions, etc.

“I'm not sure it was a good deal to sign with you. ”

Isaac shrugs at the old man's words.

“What if you don't believe me? Now that you're out of the vein, you can't attack me anymore. ”

“Hmph! If I hand over the evidence, Central won't leave you alone. ”

“I know.”

Isaac's voice echoes annoyingly dry again, and the old man turns to look at him suspiciously, wondering if he can't hate Isaac.

The old man didn't really understand Isaac. The old man caught Isaac's fatal weakness. In addition to Queen Bilmyro's work, Isaac had to listen to any demands. I don't think he's stupid enough to know that. I don't know. He's so crazy.

As the old man reaches the end of the secret passageway with excitement, he brings his hand to the wall and pours out intense light as if it were melting in hot water.

“Oh? You're protecting this, too? I'm really paying for it. ”

When the vision of adapting to the darkness suddenly spills and there is no pain, Isaac follows the old man out, satisfied with the thought that he really bought one good item.

The hillside of the Minolen Mountains reveals Newport City and Lake from afar. An old man approached Isaac while he was taking in the scenery for a moment.

“Don't forget. If the queen's work doesn't get into my hands, I'll hand this evidence over to Central. ”

“Well, isn't it a little hard for a black wizard to rely on Central? ”

“What?"

Isaac shrugs and shakes his hand as if to shake hands at the old man as Isaac's sarcasm hardens.

“Well, let's say good-bye here. What good is it to see us together? ”

Angry, but true. The old man said, holding Isaac's hand for one of the rituals of the contract, rather than aiming for Isaac to be trustworthy.

“But how do you explain it? We need to make a reasonable excuse for how we got out of here alone. ”

Isaac smiles, smiling simply at the old man's question.

“It's that simple. You can tell the Black Wizard you were caught. ”

“What?"

Before the old man reacts, Isaac squeezes his hands together, moving his empty arms to prevent the old man from pulling them out.

“Wha! Wha, this! ”

The hard touch on the back of his hand makes the old man try to pull out his hand with a frightened look, raising his shadow to attack Isaac, but Isaac is one step faster.

Kuang!

The repulsive force of the explosion causes Isaac to twist back, raising his hands, and the old man squeezes and screams, his hands turning into a mop.

“Khhh! My arm! ”

“Hmph. I was ready to fly an arm, too, but I'm fine. Expensive things cost money, too. Good buy. You bought it really well. ”

“Grrrgh! Isaac! You!”

The old man looks at Isaac with a loathsome gaze, holding his bony arm in his grip, but Isaac sees that all of his fingers are still intact, and picks out a cigarette and bites into his mouth.

“This is what people will believe. ”

“…… what? ”

“I'm a terrible liar. I don't have a good excuse because my head is bad again. Instead, the real Black Wizard tried to kidnap me, but he ran away with a flashing wit. ”

“... Ugh! That's why you attacked me? ”

“I have something to say if I'm that injured. Would people believe me if I told them I could get away from the Black Wizard in one piece? ”

“Bullshit!”

Isaac grins at the old man's cry.

“Yes, I've said some nonsense. ”

“Ugh! As long as I have the evidence, you will receive the Central Palace without fail! ”

“Well, that's a lot of talk. Are you gonna stay here? People will come when they hear the explosion. Aren't you supposed to be running away? ”

Isaac shakes his hand as if he were chasing away a pesky fly. The old man stares at Isaac with a loathsome gaze and grinds his teeth.

“You will regret this. ”

“Looking forward to it.”

Cheers!

With a eerie sound, Isaac throws an egg again, and the old man slams back, screaming. The shadow protrudes from the ground, lifting up the old man's body and disappearing into the mountains at a rapid rate, despite the harsh conditions.

Kwakwang!

Along with a loud explosion, scattered dust rises over Isaac and bounces off the translucent blue membrane.
