Chapter 571 – Chapter 571. Third Encounter (2)
“I felt it in 5 days. The taste of water in France is different.”
“Is that so. You’re more sensitive than it looks.”
Yum.
Scarlett nodded her head as she stuffed the beef steak and potato puree into her mouth.
In fact, she agrees that her water tastes different, but her reaction to teasing Lee Ho-yeon was fun.
“…Isn’t it? You’re more sensitive than I am. Hmm.”
Lee Ho-yeon drank the water with a shy expression.
Sup. Obviously different
“Well? Anyway, the dishes are of a high quality. It’s very delicious.”
“These are the places recommended by Irene. If we have time, before going back to Korea, let’s go to a delicious place together.”
I think he said several times that he would buy Scarlett a delicious meal.
It’s good to eat like this, but the taste is better when you go to a restaurant with an atmosphere and eat it yourself.
You should take your time before you become a liar. Of course, if only magic research goes well.
“Okay. At that time, I will treat you.”
“Huh? No. I’ll buy it.”
“Because you saved me last time. I don’t know if I’ll be asked to do something strange if I leave a debt.”
“What do you see me as?”
Whoops.
She was dumbfounded when she saw Scarlett smiling happily as she teased her.
She’d like to drag her to bed and make sure the relationship is established, but while she’s in France, her only free time is playing with Scarlett, so let’s leave her alone.
“But you’ve already been here for five days.”
“That’s right.”
“To be honest, if I had known it would take this long, I wouldn’t have gotten accommodation. Jeop.”
Lee Ho-yeon let out a sigh as she sliced her thick steak.
She was supposed to be done in one day and she was supposed to come back to Korea. How did she spend so much time?
‘Well, even if she was in Korea, I think it would have been the same for her to do magic research.’
According to Irene, most of the pandemic has collapsed, and fragmented organizations are causing terrorism in each country.
Right now, the only thing we can do to contain the pandemic is deal with the black pillar.
Rather, it is said that it is more difficult to catch a pandemic because of terrorism without a center… If it’s hard to catch, don’t catch it.
It is better to prevent the runaway phenomenon of the black pillar or dungeon, which is clearly the work of the pandemic.
‘It’s true that I need the cooperation of the Iris Guild anyway… No, Alice, where the hell did he go? She can’t probe Lucifer, so she’s making it herself?’
In order for her work to proceed smoothly, she must receive the cooperation of the Iris Guild.
It’s a bit strange at times, but the influence of the Iris Guild can never be ignored. In particular, it can handle most of the troublesome tasks.
“Should I just go back to Korea? I want to see the kids and I also need to see Professor Im Sol.”
Up until the 3rd, it was fine because I was concentrating on my magic research, but I want to see other heroines soon.
Even if it’s not people who can’t take care of themselves, I’m worried for nothing.
Of course, simply wanting to see your face is the biggest emotion.
“And maybe it’s because the water tastes different, or because the research is hard. I’m a little tired. I want to sleep at home.”
“Your face must have looked emaciated for a few days because of the research. Are you taking the medicine that the saintess gave you?”
“Yeah. But it’s almost gone. I’ll have to go back to Korea and pick it up again.”
“I’m good now… I might have to think about going back if there’s nothing to gain from being in France.”
Yum.
Lee Ho-yeon, who put the steak in her mouth, nodded her head.
The good thing though is that I haven’t had any nightmares lately.
No matter how much I think about it, the cause is the medicine Baek A-young gave me. Certainly, the name saint was not wrong.
“Did Irene not say anything? Alice and the guild leader still won’t be in touch.”
“Yes. The Iris Guild says they are going to find out if they are in a hurry, but… Well, I haven’t heard of a guild leader getting caught by someone before I started active duty until now.”
“Is that enough? I knew he was great, but he seems to be a greater person than I thought.”
“If the emperor of the night is caught, he will not deserve to be called emperor.”
Scarlett’s usual attitude is the same, and when you talk with the guild members, you can clearly see that she respects the guild leader.
Is it similar to the treatment Im Sol receives among wizards?
When I think about it, it suddenly looks great.
In fact, Lee Ho-yeon didn’t have much information about the Iris guild leader, so she couldn’t help it.
All I know is that he is a very great person and that he is an idiot.
Thanks to the daughter fool setting, I benefited a lot.
“By the way, how are your magic research going? Yesterday and today, you spend a lot of time outside.”
“Magic is put on hold for now. No, rather than put off, I’m a little tired. To be honest, there are no ideas, and now it’s just a repetition of simple experiments. I’m going to drive it with my head until it works.”
“Originally, new research is a series of iterations from the moment the core is grasped.”
“That’s right. I understand the point, but it didn’t work out.”
“Even the dreaming genius wizard had difficult magic.”
“… What nickname is that again?”
I’ve heard of genius wizards a lot, but I’ve never had a dream, though I don’t know about nightmares.
Did you catch me having nightmares?
“There was news. [Lee Ho-yeon. A genius wizard who can make dreams come true.] Oh, there was nothing new in the article. But the nickname stuck well, so many places hired me.”
“It’s cool. A dreaming genius wizard.”
“Would you like to hear a little more? I wanted to write a tribute to his magic, but there wasn’t enough space to write it down…”
“Stop it. To see me cringe again and like it. Have some dessert.”
Lee Ho-yeon put the ice cream in Scarlett’s mouth, who was trying to say nonsense.
Deep down, she seemed regretful that she was speechless, but Scarlett didn’t refuse the ice cream.
A dreaming wizard… Hearing those words reminds me of the nightmares that plagued me every night.
In a dream, awkward or nonsensical things are naturally passed over. Moreover, even things that cannot happen in real life happen as you wish.
If it was a dream, I would have finished the research that was blocked right now. Too bad.
‘… Hmm?’
Then, something flashed through my mind.
Dream.
Magic.
Free will.
Omnipotence.
Unfinished words and collections of inspirations pass before my eyes.
Unorganized and abstruse concepts made Lee Ho-yeon’s head complicated.
A harbinger of enlightenment, which he had experienced many times.
Lee Ho-yeon immediately stood up from his seat.
“Hoyeon-nim?”
“For a moment.”
There is no concentration to devote to communication.
Lee Ho-yeon immediately went into the simple laboratory he had created in the room.
I think it will.
If this realization is now.
If you embody the senses you feel into reality, you can do it.
“…Why are you doing that while you’re eating?”
Suddenly running out while eating dessert, are all wizards like that?
Scarlett, who was sitting at her table, blinked her eyes at the door she closed in an instant.
*
Lee Ho-yeon, who slammed the lab door, immediately created magic.
“The barrier of runes.”
It disconnects the laboratory from the outside world.
In this place where no sound can be heard, Lee Ho-yeon spread his magic again.
“Deployment of Macheon Palace.”
Hoyeon Lee reached out her hand into the air, feeling her magical power weighing down her entire space.
The goal is the mug that was on the desk.
“Come closer.”
The distance I reached out but couldn’t reach.
If Lee Ho-yeon uses magic, he can bring it right away.
However, Lee Ho-yeon did not use magic.
Instead, I focused on this space.
Moving the cup using magic power and controlling this space itself with magic power.
The two seem similar, but lead to completely different results.
Pounding. Pounding.
Heart beats fast
The sweat running down my cheeks formed on my chin, and I even controlled the sound of my breath so as not to break my concentration.
Rune’s Barrier and Infernal Palace.
Both spells dominate space.
And Lee Ho-yeon has mastered those two magics.
Excited.
Before long, the mug on the desk moved slightly.
That cup was not affected by magic.
It was moved only by the dominance of space.
“… Ha.”
Okay.
There’s nothing I can’t do after reaching the limit of the rune’s barrier.
“The rune’s barrier. Infernal Palace. And… A nightmare.”
The recurring nightmare brought trauma to Lee Ho-yeon, but ironically, it also brought a desire for an omnipotent dream.
Dreams are natural no matter what happens, and disappear like melting snow when you wake up.
A dream that haunted Lee Ho-yeon several times.
If you can recreate that sense in a space you control…
*
A few days passed.
No, I don’t know exactly how long it’s been.
Two days must have passed, but three days?
The sun set and rose outside a few times.
Lee Ho-yeon, who had many thoughts, stumbled and approached the window.
Grasp-!
She pulled back the curtains that blocked out the outside light.
She expected the hot sunlight, but what greeted Lee Ho-yeon were countless stars and a bright crescent moon.
I breathed in the refreshing night air.
“It’s night… Oh, I’m hungry. How hungry are you?”
Im Sol said he starved for a week and collapsed.
Was it just like this?
No, he is in this state after starving for several days. What is that person?
“Still, I understand the need to study before enlightenment disappears.”
I know because I did it.
Enlightenment is like a dream.
It disappears without a trace after a few hours after waking up.
Fortunately, Lee Ho-yeon did not miss the opportunity.
“She didn’t starve to death, so that’s okay. Sol-yi was even hospitalized at that time.”
Still, it was easy after I caught her galpi.
It was a very small realization, but that alone gave wings to Lee Ho-yeon’s talent.
“I was thinking wrong from the start. I’m not a god, how can I rule real space and time?”
Perhaps even if she continued the experiment, it wouldn’t have come out right.
How much time would I have wasted if I continued my research?
I’m afraid just thinking about it.
“The name is… Hmm. It doesn’t appear like the status window yet.”
Spiral. Arc. To Macheongung.
In this world, magic appears like a status window the moment you awaken it.
I didn’t name them myself, but they all fit my taste.
It’s probably related to Lee Ho-yeon’s subconscious.
“Then this magic… [Nightmare Realm] Would be fine?”
Inspired by her own nightmares, that name seems fine.
Although it looks a bit scary.
Swoop-
At that time, the light outside the window became stronger.
The clouds lifted and the soft moonlight streamed in through the window.
Looking at the moonlight shining on the back of her hand, Lee Ho-yeon muttered involuntarily.
“September of the lunar month…”
Another name for the crescent moon I heard somewhere.
At that moment, a word flashed through Lee Ho-yeon’s head.
[Hall of Hyeonmoon]
“Not bad.”
It’s a name I like.
Actually, it has nothing to do with magic, but… Because it was a magic completed on the night of the new moon.
It’s probably just a crescent moon. It looks better than a negative name.
“But why is the status window still not appearing?”
Aren’t you perfect yet?
No way. In theory, everything would have been perfect.
Lee Ho-yeon raised her magic.
“Hall of the Moon Moon… Open.”
It is similar to Macheon Palace, but spreads a different area of magic.
However, nothing happened.
“…No. It can’t be like this?”
It has been verified hundreds, no, thousands of times.
If the theory is wrong, Lee Ho-yeon’s magic concept has been proven so perfectly that it has to be overhauled.
To be honest, my heart is still pounding.
Because he came out with a bigger guy than when he made Macheongung. He thought that in just a week he had opened a new world.
It is also expected how excited he will be if he shows this magic to Im Sol.
He may be hugged to himself while crying with a face he has never seen before.
… But why doesn’t the magic circle move?
Lee Ho-yeon frowned and condensed his mana.
That time when he was about to open the magic circle once again.
[I was involved in the laws of the world.]
“… What is this?”
It’s a notification I haven’t seen in a long time.
I thought the world had abandoned me because I couldn’t see them after attacking the heroines, but why is the status window like this after a long time.
Flutter-
At the same time, a piece of paper appeared in front of Hoyeon Lee.
