259 – Tail biting (1)
After I completely murdered Tommy while burying him socially, my daily life was no different from usual.
Take classes until the final exam and then take a break on the weekend. Every day is a repetitive routine.
At least a minor incident occurred in the middle. The devil’s magic circle that I constantly talked about.
The devil’s magic circle remaining on the stock exchange was recently lifted. How to unlock it is very simple.
‘I really felt sorry for Antonio.’
That was to take advantage of Antonio, who was crazy about stocks. Antonio treated me like a fortune telling octopus and recommended stocks to me.
Of course, the stock soon turned into trash. Antonio, who realized this, took care of the items secretly when he was angry.
The devil’s magic circle at the stock exchange was not that special. A certain stock version is the devil’s magic circle.
The stock board recorded the stocks of Antonio’s hometown, the Granada Empire, and this was deliberately targeted.
‘The accident happened while he was trying to stop it, so even Rod couldn’t say anything.’
I just laughed and moved on. There was no separate disciplinary action.
From what I heard, there are people who make a fuss like this.
Furthermore, because there were so many powerful people, it ended with just paying compensation.
Thanks to Antonio, I was able to solve the devil’s magic circle and buy stocks at the same time, so I was able to kill two birds with one stone.
‘But I just endure it. That’s a deal breaker later.’
I feel sad sometimes. I told them to believe it, but they sold it again.
It’s a kind of panic cell phenomenon, but it seems like he’s less intelligent than me. Or maybe I’m caught up in the madness.
Didn’t even Newton, the greatest physicist, say that he couldn’t calculate human madness?
‘Or maybe it’s money that makes people crazy.’
Not only am I not that concerned about money, but I was already well-off, so I didn’t care.
Ah. However, it is definitely not a case of spending extravagantly. I’m working hard with the money left in my account.
In addition to stocks, I am receiving various benefits from the bank, so I am saving it all the time. It’s quite interesting.
‘But I can’t give up on medicinal herbs.’
Going into the forest every weekend hasn’t changed. I can get it for free, but I can’t give it up.
For your information, official access to the Forest of Chaos will be released after the final exams. This is because the devil may still remain.
The problem is that the devil invades in large numbers at the end of the year after final exams. We need to let Luna know that time soon.
‘There must be an omen…’
After entering the forest, I looked around to collect herbs and find traces. For your information, I came in alone.
I wanted to come in with other people, but we each had things to do. It seems like the final exam is just around the corner.
‘The devil can control monsters, so there must be one.’
As we all know, demons can control monsters, and the higher the level, the stronger the monsters can be controlled.
However, the monsters inside the Forest of Chaos will be difficult to control. It’s a place where magic is completely distorted, so even demons have a hard time.
Even demons are beings whose bodies are made of magical power, so the inside of the Forest of Chaos is no different from a prison.
If there is a specially made compass, it will be difficult to obtain as it is considered a valuable item even within the Academy.
‘Anyway…’
I was wandering through the forest and looked back. There was no one behind.
There has been no news since the hunter appeared. Even though I entered the forest alone.
I couldn’t tell if he was still watching from afar or if he had truly disappeared.
Even if it existed, I had no intention of being treated obediently. But I couldn’t help but feel scared.
‘It would be nice if there were no hunters…’
I turned my head forward again. I’m holding Ragnarok in one hand right now.
I had just finished hunting and my blood was dripping. The insignificant wolf has been dealt with and that is the end.
‘There’s a strange person here. Who is it?’
I plan to ignore it for now.
*****
Father Alexander took charge of Sivar’s surveillance according to the orders of Cardinal Vidal.
However, if he went in person, there was a very high chance of being caught in Rize’s surveillance network, so it was natural to send someone.
The method for that person to infiltrate was very simple. All he had to do was apply to work at the academy.
This is entirely possible because the academy brings together not only students and professors but also various professions.
‘On the outside, there doesn’t seem to be anything special about it.’
The watcher who successfully infiltrated the academy continued to monitor Sivar’s movements.
From taking classes in the morning to going to bed in the evening. As ordered, their every move was monitored.
Then I was able to get some interesting rumors and facts, one of which was a strangely complicated relationship between women.
‘Dating a Tatar princess and living with a duke’s daughter at the same time? What is this…’
If it is already famous, it is a famous fact. At first, I thought it was a rumor, but it has now been proven to be an established fact.
In fact, it is a common occurrence to cross paths, and it is a reality that even polygamy exists.
But the subject is the problem. The duke’s daughter and the barbarian princess. Who could not care?
Originally, it would be normal for a significant political problem to arise, but ironically, it is difficult to step forward because of Sivar.
‘Put this aside.’
Supervisor, Father Alexander ordered. Thoroughly uncover the truth about Shivar, but mainly observe his identity.
What kind of life he lives, what abilities he has, etc. Above all, what needs to be observed most carefully is faith.
In order to check whether you have truly received the blessings of the Gulag, you must check whether ‘Thunder’ is used or not, as well as whether it causes a rejection reaction to Gaia’s divine power, etc.
The point is Shivar’s true identity. Although I was ordered to do it by observing, if possible, without stepping forward, there are times when I have to step forward.
‘How many similarities there are with the devil.’
Shivar had a violent rejection of Gaia’s divine power. This alone was reason enough to be suspicious.
Although we haven’t been able to look into it in detail due to Rize’s protection, we plan to find out through this type of surveillance.
“Yum yum yum.”
“··· ···”
As time passed, the watcher realized why he was a wild person.
This is the first time Sivar has entered the forest. The Forest of Chaos is currently an officially off-limits place.
Nevertheless, looking at the confident entrance, I could sense at a glance that it was related to the road.
‘What kind of palm-sized bug…’
And when I saw people eating bugs as if they were some kind of snack, I became more embarrassed than embarrassed.
I was not offended because I was a watcher who had seen everything so far. It was just absurd.
Like the Eastern proverb that says a dog’s habits cannot be given to others, it seems that the instincts of a wild person remain.
In addition, such as ‘marking territory’, gathering herbs, hunting, etc.
Although he showed his raw life, it was difficult to infer his identity.
‘But there isn’t much left.’
The watcher was fiddling with the small glass bottle in his arms. The glass bottle contained a clear liquid.
It is not ordinary water, but a liquid filled with divine power. It can be said to be a kind of holy water.
Of course, as he was a believer of Gaia, he possessed Gaia’s divine power.
If you throw it out loud, there is a high possibility that it will be discovered, so you can’t do that, so just quietly wait for the right moment.
‘There was a river nearby. ‘I’m looking for a time to drink water there.’
Drop a drop of holy water upstream and watch the reaction. That is the primary plan.
In order to do so, it is necessary to understand Shivar’s movements. The watcher slowly followed Sivar.
There was no fear of being caught because we killed as many traces as possible. If I detect a presence from over there, I plan to run away immediately.
‘Are you a devil, or just a human that Gaia hates?’
No matter which of the two it is, it is clear that Gaia hates that man. Otherwise, there is no way it would cause a rejection reaction.
Gaia is the mother of all life. She is the goddess of the earth and a benevolent person who embraces life.
If she hated that person, she would definitely have committed a crime. The watcher followed her with that promise.
“··· ···’
And there were eyes that quietly watched the watcher. A being that not only the watchers but also Sivar did not notice.
The hunter quietly walked behind the watcher, his blue eyes flashing. Originally, I had planned to watch Sivar as usual.
But he was followed behind him, so he watched from a distance. At first she thought it was a girl she knew.
Whenever Shiva entered the forest, he always had a woman by his side. Not now.
‘It smells dirty.’
Gaia’s scent was in the air. The hunter frowned at her.
Although she is quite strong, she can be easily dealt with in a head-to-head fight. It looks like he came to follow Sivar.
Her superior had ordered this before her. Until she completes her great mission, she must remain active in the forest. If Shivar comes, observe him.
Lastly, if there is something that harms him, he must observe it and then block it at all costs. Whatever it takes.
It’s a shame because she hasn’t done any harm yet, and if she gets a hint, she plans to take immediate action.
“Oh. It sounds delicious.”
Shivar didn’t know anything and was eating bugs.
