Background[]
The Journey of Two Mages ~Great Wall and Watchman~ is a folk song composed by Mothy and sung by GUMI. It is part of the Evillious Chronicles. Set in the year EC 548, it follows Elluka and Gumillia's journey eastward in search of the Twin Blades of Levianta. The story is told from the perspective of Gumillia.
Elluka Clockworker and Gumillia are on their way to Jakoku to search for the Vessel of Envy: the Twin Blades of Levianta, but are stopped by a guard when they reach a great wall he tells them that only people of his country can pass the gates. The mages then try to dye their hair black like his, but he tells them their skin isn't the right color. They then try to color their skin with mud but he tells them they don't have the right eye color. Elluka eventually snaps and blows the man away using a wind spell. When they open the gates that lead to "The Great Country" they find nothing and Gumillia questions what the man was even supposed to guard.
This song has entered Hall of Fame.

| 国の民を装い 進もうとするが | kuni no tami o yosooi susumou to suru ga |
| 男は再び 首を横に振る | otoko wa futatabi kubi o yoko ni furu |
| 「我が国の民の肌は そんな奇妙に白くない」 | "wa ga kuni no tami no hada wa sonna kimyou ni shiroku nai" |

| 今度こそはと 進もうとするが | kondo koso wa to susumou to suru ga |
| 男はまたもや 首を横に振る | otoko wa matamoya kubi o yoko ni furu |
| 「我が国の民の瞳は そんな不気味な色じゃない」 | "wa ga kuni no tami no hitomi wa sonna bukimi na iro ja nai" |
| 悪く思うな旅人よ | waruku omou na tabibito yo |
| 偉大で広大な我が国を守るためには | idai de koudai na wa ga kuni o mamoru tame ni wa |
| この壁と俺のような番人が必要なのだ | kono kabe to ore no you na bannin ga hitsuyou na no da |
| 業を煮やした 魔道師の女 | gou o niyashita madoushi no onna |

- While unnamed in the song, The Great Country that the two mages venture across after passing through the Great Wall is the country of Mukoku, which Jakoku lies east of across the ocean. Both nations are part of the Akuna region, which is east of the Evillious region where majority of the Evillious Chronicles takes place. Both regions are part of the Bolganio continent, with Evillious on the western half, and Akuna on the eastern.
