Words thrown out with a sudden change in mood.
‘You are a wizard.’
It is not difficult to understand the meaning. Because I have a grimoire.
The strange thing is that the grimoire was sealed by the hotel.
I quickly asked through the chat window.
Han Ga-in: I guess it’s because of the grimoire? It’s been sealed, how do you know?
Ari Kim: It seems like traces of possession remain in the body or soul.
Han Ga-in: Let’s adjust the rhythm first.
Let’s think. I’m not some kind of movie star, and that witch isn’t an idiot, so there’s no way she suddenly fell in love with me at first sight. Aren’t witches truly vicious beings?
I do that because I want something.
When I thought about the journal I had read in the basement of the mansion and the abilities of my grimoire, a blurry picture came to mind.
A witch wields the power of evil, but in reaction, her body turns into a monster.
Are they trying to gain the power of possession from me and move into someone else’s body?
He straightened his expression, straightened his posture, and stepped in front of the witch.
“It’s not that I was hiding my identity very much, but I didn’t expect Lady to recognize me at a glance.”
Kim Muk-seong: Lady? Ladyyi? Have you been drinking?
“oh! I may be a humble mountain witch, but I am not blind. “The traces of the wizard’s spirit leaving the body are so obvious. How can I not know?”
“haha! Looks like I need to learn something, huh? By the way, may I ask Lady’s name?”
“It’s called Arima Nitrasera. “What is the wizard’s name?”
“My name is Han Ga-in. “Miss Arima.”
Kim Muk-seong: What on earth are you trying to learn? How to make human sausage?
Eunsol Lee: Oh, shut up. Let’s focus on the conversation. We’re talking about something important.
Han Ga-in: Please stop the chat window.
“Wizard Han, we could be good partners. I am well aware of the mysteries of the human body, and Wizard Han is someone who has mastered the mysteries of the human mind and soul. “If we combine our enlightenments, we will be able to reach the pinnacle of magic.”
Ari Kim: The atmosphere is really nice! Do you think I can get married? Lady was kind of funny.
“It’s a good idea, but I can’t help but worry as my colleague’s condition is getting worse by the minute.”
“Of course, I can fully treat you. but… . “Can you show your sincerity, Mr. Wizard?”
Yoo Song-i: Can you believe that?
Elena: We have to keep monitoring.
After talking to the witch with this feeling and making a kind of negotiation plan, the witch left the mansion.
1. The witch periodically treats Cha Jin-cheol.
2. I teach witches to use the magic of possession.
3. Treatment and lectures go together.
There were some details, but the main point was the three provisions.
The negotiation plan had a problem that was obvious even to someone unfamiliar with contracts.
Eunsol’s older sister pointed out in bewilderment.
“This is a really funny negotiation plan. “If someone at the company brought something like this to me as a negotiation plan, I would immediately fold it into a paper airplane and fly it to that guy.”
“Why are you flying a paper airplane? “Daeyang Group was criticized because you did something like that.”
“Grandfather. Why does that word come out all of a sudden? Anyway, this negotiation plan contains absolutely nothing about how to punish each other when they break their promises. “It’s perfect for betrayal.”
Ari answered indifferently.
“Is there a need to include an anti-betrayal clause or something? I am willing to punish each other for betrayal with my fists. The witch must have felt that our strength wasn’t much after confronting her in her monster form, and unlike the first conflict, we were thinking that since Elena could fight now, we could kill the witch. “They both intend to kill each other soon, so the contract becomes simple.”
Grandpa Mukseong answered as if he was still disappointed.
“I still don’t know if it was the right decision to send the witch away. He didn’t seem that strong in his human form. “I am afraid that I made a mistake in judgment because my desire to restore Jincheol was so strong.”
“I thought about it a lot, but I can’t assume that the human condition is weak. If he was really weak, would he have appeared before us alone in his human form? Moreover, there are still many rooms left in the gateway. If you lose Jincheol and the stars here, it will be difficult to progress in the future. Elena?”
“yes?”
“Is this a situation where justice can be used?”
“Anytime. It’s hard to explain, but every time I see a witch, I feel blessed. It feels like I’m holding back the desire to crush the witch right away. “It’s hard to hold back, but I feel confident writing right away.”
reliable. Ari intervened.
“It seems that killing a witch is possible, so now let’s think about what to do with that damn ‘lecture’. The witch is coming in a few hours with ingredients for treatment, so you need to prepare before then. “If you just imitate what I’m teaching, I’ll give you treatment.”
It’s a lecture… .
I realized that the witch wanted possession magic and promised to teach her, but what on earth was she teaching me? In the first place, as I write a grimoire, I don’t really understand it.
Eunsol’s sister asked a question.
“I was curious while listening to the conversation. Can you take out the grimoire? “I heard the inheritance was sealed, so I thought they took it.”
Songi and Ari answered right away.
“no. “The bracelet is still on my arm.”
“Old blood, as the name suggests, is in a state of integration with my own blood. “If you take this, I will die instantly.”
As I listened, I also became curious.
When I summoned the grimoire, it appeared immediately. When I took a quick look, the unique demonic energy was still there.
Just that feeling when using possession! It’s hard to put into words, but that feeling of floating my mind has disappeared.
“It probably only seals the supernatural power of the legacy. The actual thing is still there. “There are still functions that no one but the owner can see.”
Eunsol’s older sister continued to ask questions.
“Then can you teach me the contents of the grimoire?”
“There is no way I can teach anyone. I’m not writing this with understanding either. I’ve read it occasionally, but it just seems like an alien language. Should I say that it is not just difficult, but that it is like quantum mechanics written in Arabic?”
“Quantum mechanics written in Arabic… . “It’s so far away.”
Ari interrupted the conversation.
“Sleep! What are these people thinking? “Are you really planning on teaching?”
“That’s not it.”
“of course. Even if you can teach, you shouldn’t teach. “I have to think about how to fool you.”
“The other person is also someone who has mastered magic. Is this possible?”
“I think it’s possible. You have to approach this from the perspective of it being a kind of specialized field. If you take an astrophysicist to a semiconductor factory, they are just like ordinary people, and if you take an IT expert to a GMO development lab, they won’t be able to open their mouths. Let’s go with a similar feeling. “It’s easier because a witch can’t read the grimoire herself anyway.”
So, after studying for a while how to trick the witch, we established each person’s role.
As the morning sun rose, the witch Arima returned to the mansion, leading a large crowd.

“You’re here. Miss Arima. “I was waiting.”
“oh! Am I too late? Preparing for treatment is preparation, but I think I need to give them a little ‘treat’.”
I looked behind Arima.
Nine men of fairly sturdy physique are armed with high-quality armor and cold weapons. Probably Arima’s bodyguard.
No matter how you look at it, the 20 or so people behind him were slaves. People were barely dressed and their bodies were disfigured here and there. Some have no arms, some have no legs.
As I walked through the rough forest, blood flowed from all over my body. However, she was so afraid of the witch that she did not even dare to look at her.
…As soon as Jincheol wakes up, that damn witch will definitely blow his head off.
But today we must be as cruel as witches.
“Miss Arima. “Can I ask you a favor?”
“yes?”
“It looks like the ‘pet’ we brought in this time is a little hungry. “One person will be enough.”
“yes? What happened suddenly-”
Han Ga-in: Please implement it now.
Yoo Song-i: Do you have to do it?
Ari Kim: We must not be pushed out of the momentum.
Songi’s soft voice spread.
“Luca!”
—bang!
A two-headed wolf the size of an ox, which was lying down behind the mansion, jumped into the group led by the witch.
Before Arima and his companions could react, the wolf’s mouth opened and bit the upper body of one of the guards.
A moment of silence.
Immediately afterwards, the hall was filled with screams.
“Aaaahhh!”
Just from that brief reaction, I was able to gauge the level of the group.
Even at that moment, the witch’s nine, or now eight, guards calmly gathered around the witch with their weapons drawn. Quite skilled manpower. It’s not like I’m wondering what to do.
On the other hand, the slaves were lying around in silence and had no intention of running away.
Even though a two-headed wolf the size of an ox appeared before my eyes, I was still afraid of the witch.
I calmly observed Arima’s expression.
Sparks flew from the witch’s eyes.
“You don’t have this kind of stupid hair -”
I said, quickly grabbing her hand.
“Excuse me. I happened to meet it in the forest and tamed it because it was so hungry. I didn’t expect it to rush right away. “I apologize for this.”
“…If you had asked for a slave, I would have gladly given it to you.”
“sorry. “It’s all because of my inadequacy in trying to show Miss Arima my little tricks.”
“A little trick?”
I got caught.
“There were a lot of pretty ferocious animals in the forest. The power to tame them and control them like limbs! How is it? “Can you compare it to those sloppy guards you are using now?”
The witch’s expression softened in an instant.
I can feel it now. This attitude comes out when this witch starts to covet something of hers.
“Oh my goodness. The wizard is also familiar with these mysterious secrets, right? “Can you teach something like this?”
I smiled slightly and gestured to Songi.
Songi approached me and bowed her head slightly.
“He is my student. “He’s a poor kid, but taming a dog isn’t difficult.”
The witch’s eyes curved into an arc.
“Shall we start by treating Wizard Han’s colleague?”
“thank you. I hope that our exchanges will be of great help to each other.”
It has already become unheard of for a person to be eaten by a wolf a while ago among us.
I held Arima’s hand and entered the mansion.
After Songi took the first lead, Seungyeop and Ari, who would continue the morale, showed up with a polite attitude.
This is what I thought every time I saw the news about a fraud incident outside a hotel.
What is the biggest cause that makes people foolish?
Among the fraud cases that are socially problematic, there are not as many cases as you might think where the fraudster uses great resourcefulness to set a trap that leaves you deceived.
Many fraud victims are deceived over and over again by obvious methods that newspapers, news, banks, etc. have warned about hundreds and thousands of times, and end up losing the wealth they have worked hard to build throughout their lives.
Why do I fall for such an obvious trick?
The cause is greed. When benefits that cannot be easily obtained flash before our eyes, we lose our senses and become deceived. They even forget that there is a swindler casting a fishing rod behind them.
Gate room, second trial.
I will become the most mysterious wizard in the world, hiding endless secrets.
Until the witch goes crazy with greed for my mysteries!
