Chapter. 12. Lettuce to Wind Mage (3)
****
In the end, the party was able to take their steps only after the strange ritual-like magic ended. At first, I was overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the spectacle, and after getting used to it to a certain extent, it was Otman’s opinion that ‘if a foreign object like us gets in the way and goes wrong while casting a spell on that scale, it could incur the wrath of the wizards.’ It was.
Storm Hill, which seemed to have absorbed all the wind around it along with the letter, has become quiet before we know it.
“Finally… I get to visit the famous Felix Home.”
After a brief impression from Aldrich, who was from the Empire, the group began to approach the strange building.
****
The current party’s affinity for the wind wizard was very high.
Even in Borca right now, ‘I really want to thank them too!’ They were saying the same thing, and the other party members also developed a strong affection for these strange wizards who were willing to carry out postal work in support of their ancestors. The beautiful magic feast I just saw also played a part.
“Leader. Is it really necessary to go into hiding like this? At least, unlike other magic tower wizards, seeing as they do ‘work’, they seem to be people with common sense.”
“Use! Shut up and follow me quietly. “Out of all the wizards I’ve met so far, Otman is the closest to the top. Don’t you feel alarmed just by seeing him hanging from the hem of his robe?”
“Umm. but. An aristocratic wizard like Otman is like that…”
“Why is that story coming up now!”
Otman made a fuss by hastily hiding the hem of his robe that had opened up while crawling, but it was difficult to fool the werewolf and mute human hearing.
Sloak!
That’s the sedative Aldrich made in the elf village last time. Surprisingly, Otman drank a bottle of that every day while coming here from the exiled elf village. To overcome the temptation of the water spirit that always hovers around Idrasil.
This means that even the gentlemanly, intelligent, and benevolent Otman had to rely on the warlock’s strong medicine to overcome his ‘wizardness’.
“hmm. I was careless. Even if you are a good wizard, there is no guarantee that you are not crazy.”
“Inoom! Professor! “How can you create such foolish misunderstandings about wizards!”
“We call it wisdom, not misunderstanding, not to touch the heated iron because it is thought to be hot. As the leader of the group, shouldn’t you teach them what’s dangerous?”
“Hmm!”
Seeing the wariness of the wizard growing in the eyes of Otman through Otman’s uncomfortable coughing, the professor quickly advanced and threw himself behind the next rock.
Squeak-sudden!
“2 liters… no, about 1.5 liters.”
It was not easy to collect water because it was at the end of a high hill in a dry rocky area. The professor carefully sculpted the pool of water in his hand and used it as a mirror, and crawled forward under his breath, hoping that the sleeping wizard floating near the cliff would not wake up.
‘The strategy book said not to pass through the entrance, but to wake up those wizards and ask for guidance, but if you can avoid getting entangled, it would be safer to avoid getting entangled as much as possible. Especially if it’s an old wizard.’
At least, ‘his’ travelogue, full of experience, felt much more sincere than a concise official strategy.
Yes, I saw it.
In the end, even though it was an act of publicizing watching pornographic stories live in the whole neighborhood, I opened the copy of [Slutty Demon’s Pungryu Travels – Empire Edition (censored version)], which was full of red labels.
Well, tomorrow morning, there will be another message [Wow – Professor Park enjoys reading adult literature in front of everyone!] [Oh my! Don’t show me that! You pervert!] There will be a lot of messages like this. I’ve been through too much in the past to overlook information just because I feel embarrassed.
When the professor opened the ‘Red Book’ with such a heartbreaking feeling, he couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
‘Honestly… it exceeded my expectations.’
After removing many expressions and a considerable amount of description, his travel writing, which managed to reach the age range of 17 years old, was surprisingly full of extremely useful and rare information, and even provided some enjoyment to read.
Not ‘that’ kind of pleasure, but real literary pleasure.
=========
They are free and pure.
========
Contrary to expectations that it would be full of vulgar language, his travelogue, which started in a calm tone, was a good piece written in soft and archaic language. At least it was like that in the beginning.
=========
In general, freedom is often perceived as a positive thing among people. However, society is formed by the laws and constraints of mutual promises, and a completely free person is like an unworldly being outside the scope of trust.
In that sense, Windgye wizards can be said to be truly free people. They were peripheral people who cherished the coming impulse, passionate people who could give their all to living in the moment.
Therefore, it was easy to mix with them, but it was very difficult to win their hearts. Their hearts were also pale and wide like the sky, so it would be easy to be held in their arms, but holding them in your arms was truly, truly, truly true. It was a deplorably difficult task.
But as always, isn’t a glass of water at the end of a penance like nectar, and aren’t the flowers on a cliff the most beautiful?
I realized that in order to truly embrace them, I had to enter Felix Home, their sanctuary called Magul, and share in the hardships and sorrows of them. Below is a strategy for the numerous wizards I met there.
.
.
.
.
=========
If you look at it up to this point, it was no different from the strategy created by a gamer with considerable skill. The problem is that from now on, all kinds of strategy books that children cannot listen to will be released.
To summarize, excluding his brilliant career, it was as follows.
———
1. All Punggye wizards suffer from severe bipolar disorder. Felix Home is closer to a facility where people stay in a ‘manic’ state, so surprisingly, if you don’t make a big fuss inside, you won’t incur their resentment. Contrary to rumors, the magic ‘Felix Home’ is safer than you think.
Of course, deep relationships were my goal, so I had to bury five of my characters in that beautiful building. Always pay attention to their facial expressions. They do not hide their emotions, so they tend to show it all in their facial expressions.
2. If you are aiming for a high-ranking wizard, start with the disciple. All wind world wizards regard Archmage Felix Drixiel as their idol and try to have a squire like him. Of course, it is not common to give a knighthood to a wizard or something like that, so an apprentice takes that role. The younger and more expressionless the better.
The younger the child, the less wind enters the brain, and the poor expression means that the teacher has a lot of accidents and the student has a lot of work to do. Since solving an accident naturally involves establishing social relationships, there is a high probability that it will be close to normal.
Of course, it could just be because you’re upset, and in that case, you’ll die for touching the angry Wind Wizard.
3. Musical knowledge. Although many people do not know this, all Punggye wizards are masters of woodwind and brass instruments and other tubular instruments. If you are good at singing or have an instrument you are good at, you could receive a pretty great gift.
However, outside, a bard who can’t sing gets hit with a tomato, but a customer who can’t sing here gets a wind cutter.
4. ★The most important thing. The only rule they follow in common in the world is the rule of ‘Felix Home’. Take good care of this place. Perform postal and assigned duties faithfully. and
‘Consider Felix Home your home.’
The Grand Wizard left the interpretation of the house to each individual’s imagination, but for wind wizards who spend most of their lives wandering, the existence of the house is a bit more exaggerated than common knowledge.
For example –
* In order to keep the house clean and beautiful, they created a small garden inside, cleaned it diligently, and cut down all the nearby rocky mountains for a view. (14 people, including 5th rank Andarel Khamis, took 3 years)
* The house The residents of Wind Hole were relocated, saying that they had to have neighbors (they didn’t have to be friendly neighbors, so they were forced to do so. The village chief succeeded in persuading those who risked their lives to build houses and live alone by example), and the villagers were released after three months. .)
* He says that when guests come to his house, he must treat them as they should, and whenever there are visitors, he attacks the nearby lord’s castle and robs them of the highest quality tea and snacks. (6th rank Sorirae Wizard Nesh)
.
.
.
Etc. The result of the combination of the laws of the concept of a house and their free-spirited imagination will far exceed your imagination, so you have to improvise and adjust accordingly.
=========
‘Umm. It’s terrible to see it again. The scale of eccentricity is different. ‘You can almost say that this is not a travelogue, but rather a strange behavior.’
Rather than his travelogue, these words are closer to the dying messages of the five characters that hit Felix’s home.
This is also a summary by removing all the parts that need to be omitted. If the author gathered all the eccentricities he experienced while dealing with all kinds of wizards, it would be a cosmic horror story.
After reading something like that, how could I not be tempted to persuade those wizards and send them to Roderick’s battlefield? I was planning to just go in there as inconspicuously as possible, find one of those postal wizards who manages the hot air balloon delivery service used for dealing with elves, ask for a ride, and then leave right away.
‘It won’t be difficult. In fact, among the people in the wasteland, there are no people who don’t have at least one mental illness, so they’re all just crazy people, right? I am a person who lives with people like that every day. Gum, gum, is all you need to convince one person! It burrows in like a rat, cooks and boils, and splatters!’
It was an operation that was carried out because, as a person who served as a platoon leader of the 14th Special Operations Unit, which is known as a legendary special forces unit, although not as good as the Vex, I was confident in stealth and stealth.
Shrrrrrrrrrr!
“Nuch?”
“Aaaah!”
An old man with white hair and beard was standing next to the professor, who had a thin layer of water covering his entire body, completely blocking even his presence.
A fluffy green conical hat and green robes so woven that they could be considered the necromancy of the clothing world. In addition, he holds a wooden cane with big and small holes in it.
‘I got caught!’
With the plan shattered from the beginning, the professor quickly composed himself and opened his mouth.
“Oh, hello… are you there?”
“Nuch?”
“I am a warrior from the Church of Gwangmyeong. “It may be presumptuous, but there is something I would like to ask of those who possess the mana of the wind…”
“Who are you?”
Ji profit.
The wizard’s eyes narrowed slightly as he didn’t even pretend to hear my answer. It felt like my liver was falling even further.
‘That’s wrong. Isn’t this the answer you were hoping for? Or are you arguing? Toll fee? bribe? Pass? What on earth are you dissatisfied with….’
Thing!
At that moment, the professor noticed that the old man sitting in front of the arched door in the distance was empty. It means that it flew silently from there to here in that short period of time.
“Ah…. those incompetent guys came to my house… and started to walk on other people’s private property with their feet in the dirt…”
Ji-ik –
The old man’s wrinkles deepened even further. This means that if you take more time or do not give the desired answer, you are out. Of course, I had grown to the point where I couldn’t be beaten by a single wizard, but I didn’t know what kind of impact it would have on that mental ward if a wizard in a bad mood went on a rampage.
That sense of crisis made the professor’s frozen head spin wildly.
‘The wind wizard is also a being who has become so old that he has forgotten the common sense of the world. The only rule that can be commonly understood between this person and me is the rule left by Felix Drixiel.’
All that is in this old man’s mind is his love for the wind, his sudden impulse, and the rules of Felix Drixiel.
‘ah.’
nyuch. I asked who it was. It’s not trivial questions like where are you from, what are you here for, why are you here? Just who are you?
“Professor.”
“….huh? Kyoohsuu?”
When the professor said his name without realizing it, the old man’s face turned red and his face, which looked as if it was about to burst out in a fierce wind, instantly relaxed.
‘That’s the correct answer!’
It was a simple problem. The people here don’t care about titles, fame, or anything like that, and they only treat people purely as people.
‘Nyuche?’
I was just asking who you really were. Who are you to hang around in front of my house? Even so, the suspicious person is talking about an unknown cult and a mission, so it’s bound to be annoying for the older man to hear it.
Once I got the hang of it, I got a sense of how I should act here.
“I came here because I have someone to meet! “I heard you were at home.”
“Uh… who?”
The professor quickly opened [Saekcheonma’s Pungryu Travels] on the system. The part where the names of the most embarrassing and diverse people are recorded.
“Celia Mist!”
“Eh… I went out on a westerly wind 4 months and 13 days ago…”
“Vanessa Gish!”
“doesn’t exist. “Who is that?”
“Then Antania Cilia!”
“I went out to make wine 1 year, 7 months, and 23 days ago.”
“Profit then…!”
.

It was expected. The wizards written in this travelogue are people that the man of five different characters visited and met at different times.
Fortunately, his list was full of more than a few pages, and the old gatekeeper was busy doing his job, checking the endless list of people one by one.
“Go Gauman Delhurst!”
31st. Before we knew it, the list of names had run out and cold sweat was forming on the professor’s forehead.
His wrinkled fingers, searching through the paper he had taken out of his pocket, pointed at one part.
“Ahhhh. You were a guest visiting Gauman? Uhmmm. You are a guest. I’m a guest. Long time no see, guest. “Sir…”
The old man, who was shaking his head and muttering to himself, suddenly raised his cane and tapped the professor’s feet three times each.
Huong-
“Okay. You can go now. “The way would have been opened.”
“The road…?”
“My house is so drafty. When entering the house, most guests cannot stand and stumble so we have to do this. “The floor is weak, so heavy people like you don’t damage the house.”
When I looked at it, it looked like it was some kind of passage mark.
“Uhm…. That’s enough for you. Those guys crouching there!”
Cheer up!
The old man approached, glaring straight at the haze where the group was hiding…
“Welcome. Non-Burmi friends.”
“….uh?”
“that. It’s water magic, right? “The water was dizzy and turbulent.”
“If you’re talking about a curtain of spray… that’s right. But suddenly, why is that…”
In response to Otman’s answer, the expression of asking the professor in a flirtatious way disappeared, and he hugged Otman and the group with a bright smile on his face.
“I like wind and rain. I have many friends waiting for Biburmi at home. It’s too late, buddy. “Who are you?”
“Uh uhh… thank you. “Otman, Otman Baudelaire…”
Ottman walks next to the old man with his arms crossed, still with a dazed look on his face.
customer. friend.
The professor suddenly lost his temper at the obvious temperature difference between the two words.
‘Was it okay to just show that you’re a water wizard?’
“Hey… gatekeeper?”
“Why guest professor?”
“I… I know how to do this too.”
Pong!
As the professor floated a drop of water on his hand, the gatekeeper, who was watching it closely, frowned and frowned repeatedly before turning his head.
“I don’t know because it’s my first time seeing it. ”
“Eh?”
“Anyway, I don’t like it. Clean it up and follow me. “I will guide you.”
“No, what the heck…”
The professor seemed to slowly understand how this town worked.
Customers if allowed within the rules.
If you like it, friend.
Since friends can come to your house at any time, they have higher authority than guests.
In the end, you either become a guest according to the image of the ‘house’ that is tight and is different for each wizard.
If that’s difficult, you can just like the other person and become friends.
Felix Home was a place where you had to walk on a tightrope, like walking on thin ice, to keep up with the dizzying mental world of those wind wizards.
A community surrounded by very large and loose boundaries.
The professor felt his head throbbing from the moment he entered.
‘The gatekeeper said it was unusual… so I can only hope that the people inside are different.’
Anyway, taking comfort in the fact that he had passed and that he had found a course of action, the professor walked along behind the friendly group of Ottomans and the gatekeeper.
