The Birth of the 9th Circle Wizard

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc is a resort town located in the southeastern part of France.

Adjacent to the Swiss border, the city was also the starting point of the Alps.

“Are you going to go to the Mountains of Madness?”

The reason Nicholas was afraid of the Mountains of Madness was simple.

Where food is running out, people in cities will go to nearby places to find food.

It was located in the Alps.

A city with no water or running water due to lack of traffic and electricity is like a desert.

“When this situation broke out, hungry people set out to find food in the Alps. But most of those who went never came back.”

There were a few people who came back alive.

They were all crazy about what they saw and returned.

Tekelly Lee! Tekelly Lee!

It was the words of people who went crazy repeatedly shouting.

“They called the mountain the Mountains of Madness because everyone who returned came back mad.”

Not one or two, but dozens of people all go crazy and say the same thing.

It was natural for people to be afraid.

“Why the hell are you going here? Where did you hear about the name Mountains of Madness?”

“I have come from afar because I have something to look for.”

“Something to look for?”

“It’s complicated, so to speak.”

Nicholas pondered.

I could take you to the entrance of the mountain range, but right now there was a starving family at home waiting for food.

It took half a day to walk to the mountains. Because of the favor he showed, he could not abandon his family.

“Follow me. I have a map at home, so I’ll show you it and explain it to you.”

Nicholas led us to the ruined city. The road was full of abandoned cars to see if people rushed out, and the windows of the commercial building were looted.

All of these were broken.

The floor was full of garbage and the building had not been maintained for a long time, so there were many places where grass grew.

“Everyone is here. But did you guys really come all the way here without water or food?”

Soon-won smiled roundly.

Nicholas sighed and beckoned him to come in.

It was an ordinary two-story house, but thick curtains were placed so that the inside could not be seen from the outside even in broad daylight.

There are signs of people living in the yard.

didn't

“Who are those people?”

Nicholas' wife Melanie hugged her young daughter tightly as she saw people coming into her house.

She seems to have thought that her husband might have been caught by a rook and brought to her house.

“Oh, don’t worry Melanie. These are the people I brought here just to show you the way.”

"What a relief. I wonder if... Cologne! Cologne!”

Melanie had pneumonia.

Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs. When infection by microorganisms is the main cause, she must go to the hospital to find the causative organism and receive antibiotics.

However, now that the government is not functioning properly, the hospital could not operate properly.

“Collock! Cologne! Cologne! Kahak!”

It's been a long time since she developed pneumonia, so once she coughed, she had trouble breathing.

‘I want to help, but… .'

Trauma or curses can be treated with healing magic or cure magic. However, in the case of such a disease, the cause

Healing was impossible unless it was a magician specializing in treatment who knew for sure.“Can I take a little look at your condition?”

The Pope apologized and approached him.

Melanie looked at him with anticipation.

“Are you a doctor?”

“I am not a doctor, but… .”

Melanie expressed disappointment at those words. So he nodded his head out of fear.

“Lord. Here is the lamb. Do not give up on life in this difficult life

I am taking care of my young children. I beg you earnestly to grant me your grace.”

A dazzling light came out of the Pope's hand for a moment, even though he had an absurd expression on his sudden prayer.

He brought the light to Melanie's chest.

"God. thank you. You answered my prayer.”

‘No matter how you look at it, it’s healing magic.’

The Pope instinctively seemed to use healing magic. But Soon-won doesn't dare say it out loud

it was

"iced coffee!"

The constant coughing stopped. And the pain was gone as I was breathing. The physical condition was the best.

Melanie grabbed Yohan's hand with both hands, brimming with tears of emotion.

“Are you an angel?”

“Is the angel here?”

Dynamis pointed at herself with her index finger. Melanie looked down at him like that, then looked at the Pope again.

"thank you. Thank you very much."

“Honey, are you really getting better from pneumonia?”

"Yes! I feel better than ever. I don't have a cough and it's so much easier to breathe!"

The couple embraced each other in joy.

"thank you. I’m really sorry that I didn’t know such a benefactor and pointed a gun at me.”

Nicholas continued to say thank you to John.

"honey? Are you aiming a gun?”

Squirtle!

Melanie was hungry, so there was a rumbling sound from her stomach. Nicholas gave an apologetic look.

"Sorry. I couldn't find food.”

"no. Don't say sorry. I know how hard you are.”

Nicholas caressed her little daughter as she slept.

A six-year-old boy who should have been plump up looked emaciated because he couldn't eat well.

"Ah! Sorry to keep you waiting. There is a map in the basement. Please wait."

He ran down to the basement and came up with an old map.

“It's a three-hour walk southwest along this road. That is the beginning of the mountain range.”

Nicholas was troubled.

It was still sunny and he had no food for today, so he thought it wouldn't hurt to look around the buildings near the Mountains of Madness.

“Follow me. We will guide you to the entrance.”

We had to hurry to get back before the sun went down. Soon-won stopped me from packing my bags and leaving the door right away.

“Let’s go eat.”

"Yes? There is nothing to eat, but… .”

“I have some.”

"Yes? where you have it... .”

Soon-won put his hand into the air.

He put his hand in to get food out of the space. There was a large amount of food stored in the hypermarket.

“Where is the canned food?”

rumble rumble!

Hundreds of canned goods poured out of the subspace. Soon-won continued to take out gasoline, a small generator, and even ready-to-eat food.

“What kind of food do you like Korean, Japanese, Chinese or Western?”

All kinds of food in the world were contained in the subspace.

“Hey, how the hell did this happen? Am I dreaming right now?”

"that is… .”

I was at a loss as to how to explain it. It was because he did not know how to explain magic in a world where mana was not discovered.

“… Long, so to speak.”

* ♦ *

I finished my full meal.

Nicholas Melanie still looks stunned. Soon-won filled the basement with canned food.

“We have a small generator, so we can use the refrigerator for six months. The freezer is full of meat.”

"Thank you very much. Is this a dream or a live poem... .”

I didn't bring a lot of gasoline because I thought I wouldn't need it much, but that was a bit disappointing.

“No matter how much food I give, I can't live here raising my children for the rest of my life. If you canned it, you can survive for about two years, but after recovering your stamina, I recommend finding a paddy field or a field to grow grain.”

Soon-won took out a grain seed and handed it to him.

Nicholas was embarrassed and did not know what to do.

“I even aimed and fired my gun, but how could you do this to me… .”

“Because your daughter is cute. That’s all.”

The decisive thing was that it would take them to the entrance to the mountain range, which might be dangerous, but I didn't bother talking about it.

“This is a spare AR glass. When I looked at the table earlier, I saw that he had a smartphone, but it is more advanced than that. There is no need to charge it for 100 years because it is embedded with micro-magical crystals, so you can use it without any worries.”

"Yes?"

“I have a small satellite over the city, so I will warn you if there are any signs of danger. Click here to view the map... .”

“What is this… .”

It's embarrassing, but it's a matter of survival. Nicholas listened and understood Soon-won with concentration.

“I understand roughly what it is. It's amazing. It’s such a developed type of thing.”

Melanie and her daughter were asleep, probably because they had been full in a long time.

Nicholas briefly explained the situation on her notepad and placed it next to Melanie.

“It’s a reward, but I’ll kindly drive you to your destination.

NS."

The journey to the Mountains of Madness has begun.

♦ ♦ *

Nothing happened on the way.

I walked and walked through the ruined city.

I had nothing to say, so I just kept walking.

It was Nicholas who broke the silence.

“The Mountains of Madness are probably Aguidu Midi.

I'm talking about mountains. It is a place visited by many tourists because you can enjoy the view of Mont Blanc, but how did it happen? .”

Nicholas lamented.

He talked about this and that, and Soon-won walked by, arguing for a while.

Nicholas, who was open to seeing a stranger after a long time, even told a small story.

[The SAN level has gone up.]

[The resistance was successful.]

‘SAN numbers? what? When it comes to resistance, I don’t think SAN is a good thing.’

I felt that the air had changed a little. So were the others."Uncle. I think the mana here is a little sticky. I feel bad.”

When Karin spoke, John responded.

“I think you have to be careful about draining mana. I don't feel good.”

Dynamis was quiet.

The chatty man looked at him because it was strange that he was quiet.

“Dynamis?”

“I have already entered the Mountains of Madness. It's a strange feeling. It’s like being on an ancient earth.”

“What… .”

“Uncle Soon-won!”

Then Karin called Soon-won with a cry that was close to screaming. Nicholas' condition was strange.

“Hey! Heehee!”

“Are you okay Nicholas?”

Nicholas was smiling and drooling as if sincere. His eyes were blurry.

“Nicholas, wake up! what's the matter

yo. This?"

“Tekelli Lee! Tekelly Lee!”

It felt bizarre.

The words that Nicholas cried out were unheard of by human vocal organs. It was close to the cry the Chimera used to make.

“Remove this man's curse! Cue!”

A green light came out of Soon-won's hand. He put it in his hand, but Nicholas didn't stop making strange cries.

“Tekelli-Lee! Tekeli-Lee!”

"scary. Please stop it!"

Karin covered her ears as if she didn't want to hear. Soon-won looked at Di Namis with a desperate expression.

“How do you do it! You know something!”

“It is a place that cannot be sustained by the human spirit. It was a place I shouldn't have brought in in the first place."

"Damn it! Don't say that! You know this man has a wife and a daughter!”

Dina Miss shook his head. He meant there was nothing he could do.

“I will pray.”

The Pope hugged Nicholas.

He was trying to calm him down, who had lost his mind. Captured, he began to struggle as if trying to escape from John.

“Tekelli Lee! Tekelly Lee!”

“I pray to the Lord Christ. This man is the head of a family. If this man cannot return home, his wife and daughter cannot survive in this harsh environment. Lord help me.”

Light fell from the sky.

Fog recedes from a radius of 100 meters

started to

[The Pope proclaims his sanctuary.]

[Spirit increases by 500%.]

[Mana recovery speed is increased by 3 times.] [Purifies the pollution of the earth.]

"what? When did I get here?”

Nicholas looked around in bewilderment. He has returned to his sanity.

Seeing this, Miss Dina opened his mouth wide.

“Are you crazy? How a mere man proclaims sanctuary… .”

I couldn't finish her words. Cracking headache.

Dina Miss grabbed his head.

“Aaaaaaaaah!”
