Chapter 1017 Magic Circles

Ning and Ely were on their 2nd movie when the door to the apartment slammed open suddenly.

"He's back," Ning said.

"Why is he so sweaty? Oh, he must have had to walk all the way back because he didn't take his car," Ely said.

"Oh, right," Ning said. "I should have remembered."

Ning got out of bed and walked outside. "I'm sorry, Chase. I should have come to get y—"

"IT'S YOU!" Chase shouted suddenly.

"I'm what?" Ning asked curiously.

"It's you, the Apostle Ning. It's you, isn't it?" Chase asked. He fished through his pocket and pulled out a smartphone before showing the screen to Ning. "This is you, right?"

Ning looked closely and saw a news headline with a small picture next to it. The news read of how he had closed the SS-rank dungeon in Germany today, and how he had the power of 5 gods behind him.

"Oh, yes. That is me," Ning said with a smile.

"Y-y-you! How are you an Apostle? You're an alien," Chase said.

"Yes," Ning said. "And Aliens can't be an Apostle? Is there a rule like that?"

"That's…" Chase tried to come up with an argument, but nothing he could think would make sense to be used in the current talk.

"Also, you shouldn't keep calling your sister and brother-in-law aliens. That's quite rude, you know?" Ning said with his arms crossed. "We were both from the earth in our previous lives anyway."

"What?" Chase asked with an incredible look on his face.

"Oh, did I not mention it before? I reincarnated too, just like your sister," Ning said. "Come on, we can sit and talk."

The dazed Chase sat by the couch and Ning talked with him for a while. Ely also came out and sat on his other side, telling Chase various things as well.

Chase was still too dumbfounded to understand everything, but he at least got the gist of it all.

They talked for a while before Chase went off to cook something to eat. Once he was back with food, Ning asked a question he had been meaning to ask since he met the man.

"Do you think you can migrate to Korea with us?" he asked. "I'm going to build a massive house there with various facilities, and I'm sure you can make use of it too."

"G-go to Korea?" Chase asked. "You want me to move to Korea?"

"Yes, brother," Ely said. "It will be easier to keep track of you and meet you every day."

"But… France is my home. I can't leave France. I don't even know Korean. Living there will be hard," Chase said. Clearly, he was reluctant and Ning didn't want to force him.

"Well, if you don't want to, then we can't force you," Ning said. "However… in that case, we might have to create some magic circles so Ely can teleport around the world easily."

"Why teleport? I can just fly here. Won't even take me 5 minutes," Ely said.

Chase took a deep breath when he heard that. "Your spaceships are that fast?" he asked. Ely couldn't help but chuckle when she heard that.

"You might not need it, but it's still easier. It will also help Jung-Hee and Hi-Ah go around the world easily. I want them to see the outside world," Ning said.

"Okay, how do you make a magic circle?" Ely asked. "Is it like formations?"

"Kinda," Ning said. "It's about the same difficulty, but of course, the symbols in the circle do different things. Maybe I should have the government start using it as well. As far as I know, none of them have any idea on what it does."

"No one was taught about it, were they?" Ely asked. "Everyone only knows what the Constellation tells them. If they don't want to divulge some information, what can the humans do?"

"You're right," Ning said. "I should go share this information with the government right away."

Ning called the number for the director back in Korea. The number rang for a few seconds before it was picked up.

"Ning? What's going on?" the director picked up his phone.

"Oh, Director Sung. I was hoping we could talk about something very important right now," Ning said.

"Right now?" the director asked while checking his watch. "It's 9 o clock. Can't it wait until you return from Germany? I'm back home."

"Oh," Ning said as he looked around. "My apologies. I forgot about the time difference. I'll contact you once I'm back from France tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomo— Wait, did you say France? Weren't you in Germ—"

Ning ended the call and turned around to see a slightly angry Ely.

"Uh… what's wrong?" he asked.

"Why are you so impulsive?" she said. "Stop doing whatever comes to your mind first. Think a little."

"Oh, uh… okay," Ning said.

"Geez, you did the same thing back in the director's office in Korea as well. You left me there alone and went god knows where," she said.

"Yes, yes, honey. I get it. I'll think a little more," Ning said. "Look, your brother is getting worried. You should drop it."

Ely sighed and said nothing else.

"So, back on topic. Since Chase doesn't want to come with us, I will make a magic circle in a few days that will connect one of the rooms in this apartment to one of the rooms in our new house," Ning said.

"We'll have a house ready by then?" Ely asked.

"I can do it with a snap of a finger," Ning said. "We can have our house whenever we want. Although, you should let me know what additions you want to do. I will have to integrate those into the blueprint that I'm preparing with the system. Once the director gets our land passed, I will make our house there."

Ely nodded. "I'll work on it tonight," she said.

"Good," Ning said. "Let's spend some time with your brother today. We will have to go back to Korea a little after midnight."
