The Fall of the Sorcerers
The rope that binds the god understands human speech. If he says he needs to go to the bathroom, it lowers his pants. If he says he is thirsty, it pours him water. Although his two arms are tied, thanks to the rope, the god does not experience any inconveniences in his daily life.
Mosan Dosa talked to Singi over drinks and snacks. He told Singi a story, saying that he had not had a conversation partner for a long time. Singi satisfied his curiosity with appropriate interjections and questions. Mosan Dosa brainwashes Singi every day with strange incense and magic. He answered all of Singi’s questions, confident in his brainwashing skills.
“When the Korean Empire was founded, there was a Japanese child. That child was born with the power of a dragon, just like you. So I promised that child that I would make him the emperor of the Korean Empire. However, that child pretended to obey me, but in the end, he betrayed me.”
After gaining power, the child tried to reclaim Japan instead of the continent. In the end, Mosando killed the child who did not listen and took back the earring.
“If you don’t listen to me, I will kill you and take back your earrings. So you must listen to me carefully.”
Shingi said that his neck was itchy because of the rope. Then the rope scratched Shingi’s neck. Mosan Dosa’s attention was drawn to the rope, but Mosan Dosa didn’t react at all.
‘You can’t see the tattoo on my neck.’
The Archdruid found the necklace tattoo. However, Mosandosa could not see the necklace tattoo or the ring tattoo. The only things Mosandosa could see, although he did not know the divine spirit, were the bracelet and the left earring. The keepers of the Five Dragons’ Spirits could only see two tattoos.
Shingi was convinced that Mosan Dosa knew less than he did. In the Oryong Shinki, it was clear that Mosan Dosa only knew about earrings. He thought that perhaps the world that Mosan Dosa spoke of did not include other continents.
‘It’s likely that Chiyou was also a player or character. At that time, he failed to defeat the emperor and was ultimately defeated, failing to change the fate of the world. I wouldn’t be the first player, and if I fail the quest, there may be another player.’
Shingi’s intuition went wild as he encountered the new truth. At that moment, Mosan Dosa grabbed his pants and headed outside. Shingi spoke to the rope as Mosan Dosa disappeared.
“I’m hungry. I want to eat that meat.”
One end of the rope moved, and he picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in Shingi’s mouth. The meat was soft and savory. It didn’t seem to be seasoned, but rather had the natural flavor of the meat.
“Okay, I’m full.”
At Shingi’s words, the rope returned the chopsticks to their original position and wrapped around Shingi’s body again. When Mosan Dosa returned, he continued to sip his wine glass and tell Shingi stories. Then, he suddenly got up, took the wine and food, and left the room where Shingi was locked up.
Although he is physically young, he is not mentally young either. Mosan Dosa is easily forgetful. Perhaps there was something important that he had forgotten and was rambling on about, when he suddenly remembered it. Shingi, who had already adapted to Mosan Dosa’s behavior, laid down comfortably on the bed and organized Mosan Dosa’s story.
When the Korean Empire was founded, there were sorcerers behind it. At that time, the power of the prosecutors was very weak. The Mosan Dosa faction tried to make a Japanese child, who was believed to have the power of a dragon, the emperor. However, most sorcerers opposed it, saying that they could not make a Japanese person the emperor.
If someone without the power of a dragon wears the earring, the earring will remain. However, if someone with the power of a dragon wears it, it will turn into a tattoo. The child who gained power with the help of the Mosanpa did not follow the Mosanpa’s instructions and tried to reclaim Japan through the Korean Peninsula. When the monsters were driven out to the Incheon area, the Mosanpa killed the child with poison and magic and retrieved the earring.
At that time, recovering land that could produce food was the most urgent task. The population had to increase to be able to fight the monsters. However, Ai poured his power into unnecessary places. The Mosan faction had no choice but to make a difficult decision due to criticism from other factions.
The failure at that time greatly weakened the power of the Mosan faction. This was because they were under the control of other factions that supported the emperor. In order to turn the situation around, the Mosan faction studied qigong techniques. The energy of the world became more abundant, and people’s bodies became stronger. They tried to strengthen people’s bodies more quickly through qigong techniques.
The Qigong technique was a great success, producing many inspectors. With the activities of inspectors who had strengths dozens of times greater than those of ordinary people, they gradually gained an advantage in the war against monsters. With the support of inspectors who had become nobles based on their expertise, the Mosan faction once again reached its heyday.
At that time, communication was established with the British Empire through the Arctic Ocean. Wizards and sorcerers worked together to create moving doors and moving circles, and created magical weapons and magical weapons. Standardized magic is more suitable for joining weapons, so weapons and weapons use magic, but many magical elements are included in the process of making them.
Due to the nature of the military, weapons with a stable power of 3 are preferred over weapons with powers of 5 to 10. Sorcery is a weapon with powers of 5 to 10, and magic is a weapon with powers of 3. As the military increasingly possessed magical weapons and magical weapons, sorcerers were excluded.
The sorcerers who felt a sense of crisis gathered together and tried to systematize and standardize their sorcery like magic. However, because each faction tightly held onto their own vision and refused to reveal it, they eventually faltered. In the end, the royal family and the prosecutors who found the sorcerers uncomfortable raised magicians, and the sorcerers completely lost their place in the Korean Empire.
The person who systematized the monster rankings was known as Darwin. However, according to Mosan Dosa, it was the sorcerers who systematized the monster rankings. Considering that all the monsters have oriental names, it is highly likely that Mosan Dosa’s words are true. It seems that the royal family and military gave the credit to the sorcerers in order to keep the sorcerers in check.
And the magic bullets that exist only in the Korean Empire were also made by sorcerers. They assumed that magicians and inspectors were their enemies and while studying mana, they discovered the magic bullets that could destroy mana. The creation of the magic bullets is impossible with magic and is only possible with sorcery. Thanks to the magic bullets, the survival space of sorcerers has expanded a little.
The sorcerers made various demands under the pretext of creating the magic bullet. Since the magic bullet had already been proven to be fatal to monsters, the royal family and the military complied with the sorcerers’ demands to the fullest extent. However, they were not fools, and did not unilaterally follow the magicians.
He divided the sorcerers by favoring those who did not have any ill feelings toward the royal family and the military. As a result, Mosan Dosa, who had been the leader of the sorcerers, was left to run away alone. He then settled down in Hwangsan and waited for the right time.
However, as time went by, the situation of the sorcerers became more and more difficult. The easier it was to learn magic and the more certain the learning process was, the more people wanted to learn it. The sorcerers who did not receive support from the royal family and the military were not able to properly train successors. Magic can be trained to a certain level with just books, but the sorcerers could not do that. That is why the sorcerers have completely fallen into ruin now. Just like the druids in England.
Shingi was curious about how the sorcerers, who were in the worst possible situation, would turn things around. Since it was a task that required logical reasoning, Shingi looked forward to meeting Gishin in his dreams. In any case, since he had completed the quest, he had to hear information about the next quest from Gishin, but he could not meet Gishin in his dreams.
‘Bingryong is also unresponsive. Could it be that this rope isolates me from the outside energy?’
At that moment, Shingi suddenly felt a stomachache. When he felt the urge to defecate on the rope, the rope flew away, leaving Shingi suspended in the air, to the bathroom. However, he pulled down his pants and waited for a while, but the stomachache remained and there was no sign of defecation.
“Okay, put him to bed and give him some warm water to drink.”
The rope washed the god’s buttocks with water before putting his pants on and laying him on the bed. He cooled the boiled water to an appropriate temperature and then fed it to the god. However, the god’s stomachache persisted.
‘Could that meat be the one from the metaphor?’
The metaphor is a 5th-grade monster, about the size of a chicken, and looks exactly like a quail. Its fur is yellow like a chick, and its beak is red. It is divided into males and females, and the males are very aggressive, so they are also called fighting cocks. They move very quickly, making them much more threatening than larger monsters.
Eating the meat of the metaphor will make your body young. The 5th-grade monster that has settled in the sulfuric acid is likely to be the metaphor. The monster that rarely forms a group in the 5th grade is the metaphor.
‘It seems that Mosan Dosa ate the meat of the metaphor to maintain his youth. Could that Mosan Dosa be Dongbangsak?’
Dongbangsak was known as a sorcerer who raised monsters. However, no one could confirm his true identity. Even though he thought of something else, the pain was still there, so Shingi continued to struggle. The rope, misunderstood as Shingi trying to escape, tied him up tightly, making him unable to move.
‘This crazy rope can stretch as long as it wants. I’m getting greedy.’
Even though he was sweating profusely due to a stomachache, Shingi became greedy for the rope. He thought of finding out the secret of the rope from the slightly mentally unstable monk Mosan.
Whether Shingi suffered from stomachache or not, Rope would make food and feed it to Shingi when the time came. Shingi, who knew from experience that rebellion was useless, had to swallow the food despite the stomachache. Rope, who gave Shingi a bath once a day, would be a very thankful being if he were not imprisoned.
After three days, the stomachache stopped. Shingi felt strong after the stomachache went away. I only ate one piece, but it caused me such severe pain. I wondered how much Mosan Dosa, who eats it as a side dish whenever he comes to see Shingi, had eaten to get used to the meat of the parable.
“I have some good news. Joseon has reclaimed Tsushima Island.”
Mosan Dosa suddenly showed up with alcohol in his hand and started talking incoherently. Shingi was used to Mosan Dosa’s way of speaking, so he waited silently for the rest of the story.
“There’s a gang of traitors on Daemado. They’re attracting monsters. Even if we leave it alone, it won’t last more than a few months, but if Joseon gets rid of the gang, I can bring forward my plans.”
“What are your plans?”
“I have two magic bullets. I’ll leave the rest to your imagination.”
Shingi asked several times, but Mosan Dosa did not respond. Shingi changed the topic to rope.
“Is this rope a magical tool made by a Taoist priest? It seems truly amazing.”
“That rope is a treasure of our Mosanpa. It was used by a sage who came down to the lower world and gained spirituality. I can only offer a bribe and ask for it. Even if I live another thousand years, I will never be able to create a magical tool of this level.”
“That’s a really great rope. Does it have a name?”
“It’s called Yeoui Seung (如意繩), but I don’t know its real name. It probably has another, more grand name.”
The only things that have the name Yeoui are the Dragon’s Pearl and the Sun Wukong’s club. And both of them are great treasures. Of course, it is questionable whether Sun Wukong actually existed. Shingi became even more greedy when he heard that the Yeoui Monk was not the property of Mosan Dosa.
