If Amy says so, the Wall Keeper will recognize me and Jules at a glance. However, the area outside the Great Wall is where there is almost no population movement.

‘I know best how closed the military is.’

There are huge incidents within the military, but they never spread outside.

No country discloses such sensitive topics to civilians. In other words, it is a public topic that only circulates within the military.

To begin with, southerners are uneducated.

This is because only those who are protected by the colon wall are required to perform military service.

The general public probably doesn’t know the story about me or Jules.

You just have to be careful around the Great Wall or the merchants coming and going here.

“Don’t you think it would be fun?”

“Wow.”

I thought I definitely shouldn’t encounter people, but now I really look forward to meeting people. What if it doesn’t work? You just have to go the other way!

The bracelet that had been tied several times on my arm now fit perfectly on Jules’ hands with just one turn. How long did they walk while talking to each other like that? Jules began to sniffle.

“In a little while, you will encounter two humans.”

It was good.

He immediately crossed his arms arrogantly and flicked his handsome will.

Keep your head straight, looking slightly upward as if appreciating nature, and keep your back and shoulders straight───

“Heeek!!!”

What are you talking about?

A man is running away quickly, and someone is lying down pretending to be dead. What, why are you doing this?

“Pushup·····!”

As Jules bursts into laughter, the corpse on the floor trembles.

It’s just funny how he rolls his eyes and looks this way.

“Uhhhh… Yekkii…! this guy! Don’t laugh! Aren’t people scared?!”

Jules glances at me with smiling eyes.

Are you still doing it? The corners of his mouth are trembling as if he is looking at a crazy person.

“Yes! Like that.”

The man pretending to be dead seems to have decided to continue pretending to be dead. What can I say to make this person stand up voluntarily?

“Ugh, why does that person pretend to be dead like that?”

At the sarcasm, the man awkwardly stood up and looked at us.

Jool’s tail is wagging low. This situation seems to be quite enjoyable. If this continues, the only person who will become a fool is that man.

“Hey, look at this…”

“What?”

The man began to approach this way.

It was quite funny to see Juul being overwhelmed and treated with respect.

“Well, isn’t that a wolf?”

“Was this wolf attacking? Is this the wolf I captured with a magic tool?”

The man’s eyes widen.

” That’s ridiculous. Wolves are also a type of demi-human, right? There is no way the Magic Tower would tolerate this! Are you a member of ‘hallucination’?”

I don’t know what hallucinations are, but it seems like this is roughly what they do.

“But?”

“Oh·····! So, is that the wolf that will appear in the arena this time!? That’s amazing! And his hair is white!”

The man approaches with a smile on his face.

What are hallucinations? My worries are gone?

“Drekar’s wolves are neither wild nor frail. So I always wondered. Now I see it was captured from Yunaira!”

Jules began to look at the man shaking off the dirt.

If Zul could speak Drekkar, this man would be dead.

“By the way, it’s a white wolf… Can I touch it once?”

“If you touch it, the magic may be broken.”

The man’s outstretched hand is taken away like lightning.

Then he smiled awkwardly and backed away slightly.

I don’t know what it is, an arena or a hallucination, but it’s worth digging into.

“First of all, I think it would be a good idea to go beat the back of your friend who abandoned you. Would you like to come with me?”

“Good! That unscrupulous bastard! I accepted him as an apprentice, but he abandoned his master and ran away?! Let’s catch him, beat him up, and share his drink.”

A large man with a full beard came up next to me, smiling. Jules looks sulky.

“But what crime did you commit that caused you to hallucinate?”

Are hallucinations where prisoners serve their sentences?

First, he unfolded his prosthetic finger.

“I stole something. So I got caught.”

“Do they make you do something this severe just because you stole something? I guess it’s true that the Grand Duke Widow has neither blood nor tears.”

───Grand Duke.

“Because it was hers that I stole.”

I don’t understand.

It is said that the name of the person who is the face of the group called Hwansang or the Grand Duke of Widow who sits in a high position has spread to the general public.

The Grand Duke refers to the highest duke among dukes.

There is another country within the country just for the Grand Duke…an incredibly high position. The Archduke is the Archduke. You cannot impersonate that name.

“Hallucination───.”

Something suddenly protruded from the peddler’s shoulder.

It was Jules’ hand.

“What are you?”

Juul is showing his fangs with a straight face.

······What, why are you doing this all of a sudden?

“···Jul?”

“There’s something like a purple thread running through this guy’s head.”

line?

“When and where?”

“Just to the sky.”

······You can’t see it at all?

There is no way Juul is talking nonsense. The peddler is frozen in place. As if my thoughts were cut off.

Wasn’t it my patent to be able to see things that others couldn’t see or feel? After thinking about it, I got the answer.

In other words, Dantalian doesn’t want me to see this.

And, I allowed Jules to watch. This is Dantalian’s trick!

“You look dirty.”

When Jules pretended to pull something, the man’s eyes suddenly became blurry. But then, as if his mind has become clear, he looks around and tilts his head.

“Ah…! Oh my, it’s my mind…”

“Spirit?”

“Ah, no… I suddenly felt dizzy… I guess I was thinking about something else…”

Memories from 9 months ago flashed through my mind in fragments.

‘There is a spell so that you cannot be aware of it.’ Called.

Grace said there was a variant of the Dragonia among the Drekkar.

What Jules said wasn’t nonsense!

“Don’t say anything weird, do you remember how far you said it?”

“Of course! Didn’t you decide to hit my apprentice on the back of the head and drink the wolf?”

······This man, my memory has flown away.

My hands are shaking for no reason. I glanced at Juul and saw that he was looking everywhere, as if he didn’t like something. What on earth are you looking at?

“Something is approaching you and me.”

The peddler glanced at Jules and then looked at me with a slightly bored expression.

It’s like, ‘Isn’t that a sudden accident?’ With a questioning look.

“What is that wolf saying?”

I don’t know what it is, but something is definitely strange.

“I wanted to go with you, but I can’t. You’d better go first. I think I need to reorganize my magic.”

“····Something dangerous?”

“That’s not true, I’m the type of person who can’t concentrate when someone is watching.”

The man nodded his head awkwardly, and began to walk away quickly, probably because he was feeling anxious. It’s not bad. I almost collapsed because it was so awkward to speak informally that was not appropriate for a middle-aged person.

After seeing that the man was moving away, I immediately looked at Jules.

“What do you mean? I can see something.”

Jules’ eyes were filled with a blue spirit, and those blue eyes were looking at me.

“Get out.”

No, why suddenly…

“·····Me?”

“Something like purple smoke is floating around you and me. It almost makes me want to explode my eyeballs.”

Why are there eyeballs in the smoke?

It is not easily reminiscent. This is because I have experienced many things that transcended knowledge, but I could not transcend awareness.

“Just ignore it.”

Because I don’t get mentally attacked anyway.

Jules slowly shook his head as if he was reluctant.

“It’s because you can’t see it, it’s making a fuss to get into your ears. Although nothing can get in and it melts.”

An unclean sound sat in my ears.

Are you trying to get into my ears? I don’t know how to deal with this after just hearing about it. I even pretended to shake it off with my hands.

“You ignore my hand gestures like that, and then disappear with just one gesture from yours.”

Jules snorted as if he was dissatisfied.

“Sometimes I wonder about your identity.”

“I’m also curious about my identity.”

The half-sincere answer flowed out like a sigh.

*

The man was beating up his apprentice who had brought the militia with him.

Then, when he sees the militia causing the fight, he looks in my direction and waves his hand.

“Did you repair the magic well?”

“It went well.”

It looks like the man made a joke in advance.

People withdrew from Juul because they had something to see. After that, a man who picked up the drink that the apprentice was carrying approached him with a shrug.

“There is nothing I can do because the path is the opposite. May Mercurius bless your journey.”

“May your journey be filled with Mercurius’ blessings.”

The peddler offers Jules a canteen.

Jules suddenly received the canteen. Even if it were alcohol consumed by peddlers, it couldn’t possibly be good alcohol. At least beer. But it was perceived as alcohol.

The man slapped the very frightened apprentice on the back and started laughing heartily.

“Look! It is important for a merchant to have the courage to never waste anything like this!”

Jules looked at the backs of the two men walking away.

Then, I take a gulp of the seemingly tasteless liquor.

“Ugh!”

Jules threw away the empty old canteen.

The expression is frowned upon.

“You should clean the water bottle and use it. How on earth did you use it to end up with a rotten me like this?”

Take it and complain.

“Humans’ sense of smell is not that sensitive.”

Jules lets out a dissatisfied groan and shakes his head.

“Then shouldn’t I be more careful like you?”

“I’m just adjusting. Hosots are sensitive to smell. Since we live among humans, it is natural to think in human terms.”

Jules made a sulky face and closed his mouth.

On the way, I met a few more people.

Everyone showed the same consistent behavior as before.

Play dead or run away.

Jules is busy laughing.

I really wanted to tell them. Humans cannot pretend to be dead. Vision, pupils, rigor mortis, body temperature, spinal reflexes, and smell all indicate survival.

“This wolf does not attack. I am a member of the Hallucinations, and this wolf is the wolf I will fight in the arena.”

I thought wrong.

I guess I can’t go to India. The man who pretended to be dead got up and cursed lightly.

“Look! Shouldn’t a monster like that be put in a restraint?”

“Don’t worry. Since it has been suppressed with mental magic, it will not attack.”

“What are you talking about! There is no way the Magic Tower would tolerate something like that! Do I look like a village idiot?!”

“I am a member of Hallucination.”

“What? hallucination? What kind of trick is this? I had never heard of such an organization even when I served as a sentinel at the Great Wall!”

······You don’t know hallucinations? Even a single merchant knew this?

As the man’s voice grew louder, Jules’ gaze turned to the man.

The man hastily controls his anger at the look in Jules eyes.

“If you don’t want to be falsely accused by the militia, it would be better to put on a strong restraint right now.”

After finishing what he had to say, the man quickly passed Juul and ran away along the same path, leaving me with only questions.
