Genius Warlock-Episode 135
It was a truly bizarre scene..
A warlock confidently confesses in a secret laboratory of wizards..
It was a story that, if strangers heard it, would either ridicule it as a nonsensical, bad joke, or dismiss it as something unspeakable and blasphemous..
But surprisingly, it was actually happening in Mattel's secret underground lab..
What can I say… … . It was a very contradictory yet sacred sight..
Each time the suffering boy confessed his sins, he was relieved of pain and fear, and the warlock, holding his hands, recalled the contents of the scriptures and asked God for forgiveness on his behalf..
Everyone watched this ridiculous scene in silence. In particular, Oliver.
His voice was calm and emotionless, but perhaps because of the darkness of the laboratory, his face was cleverly covered in darkness, so no one could see what his expression was..
“finally..… . I couldn't save my younger brother, who went to the lab first. I asked for help, but I was so scared. sorry. really sorry.”
The boy asked for forgiveness with tears. To his brother or to God.
As before, Oliver asked God for forgiveness in a calm voice..
“father. Please forgive our sins… .. We are weak and troubled beings. Father, please forgive our sins. This is how the father's children rain. mahalla.”
“Mahalla… .. thank you. No thanks, thanks-”
Oliver said, gently placing his hands over the boy's swollen eyes..
“-You're okay now, so sleep comfortably. When I close my eyes and wake up... … . Everything will be okay.”
The boy didn't respond, but he fell asleep without fear, and Oliver held his hand until he fell asleep completely..
"......."
After a short and long silence, the boy fell into a complete sleep..
Oliver carefully let go of his hand and spoke to the children around him..
“everyone. Please wait here for a moment.”
Oliver looked outside the laboratory as he said those words..
There were Mattel researchers standing there, backlit by the lights..
Oliver asked again, looking at Rosburn..
“can you wait?”
Rosburn nodded and, like his eldest brother, brought the other children and made them stand behind him..
Oliver nodded and walked out of the lab..
As Oliver approached, Mattel officials stepped back to make space..
According to the information from the World Tree, the number was not large. In total, about twenty people?
But both the quantity and quality of magical power were enormous..
There were some who were as strong as the three wizards I faced when I came in, and one of them was even stronger than all the other wizards combined..
Although he was not the leader.
“..…Thank you for waiting.”
Oliver said to the man at the edge of the group of wizards..
The man's age was in his mid to late twenties, and he was relatively young, both objectively and subjectively..
He seemed quite surprised by Oliver's behavior, but did not show it..
“How did you know I was in charge here??”
“I just figured it out. Thank you again. Thank you for not disturbing me..”
“I am truly grateful. I saw something interesting. A warlock who confesses. I saw something really rare.”
Oliver agreed. He still didn't understand why he did that..
I could only explain it by saying that I just felt like I had to do it that way..
But other than that, I felt uncomfortable..
It's hard to explain, but I'd say it's a little annoying.?
So Oliver said bluntly without realizing it:.
“……I'm sorry, but could you please make way for me to pass? I'm very tired today.”
The man looked behind him once and shook his head..
“It's going to be difficult, but I can't just leave this mess behind. Above all, those half-dead guys over there are my friends. He is also an elite member of the school who graduated with high grades. I need to get compensation for the damage.”
“That's a good thing.”
“what?”
Oliver set the quarter staff aside, took off his jacket, and rolled up his hands..
“Actually, I was a bit hesitant to just go..”
With those words, Oliver raised his hand to his chest and extracted his emotions..
Shuhaa 1
Although it was only a handful, Oliver extracted his emotions. Without even a pilgerette.
a very unusual moment.
At the same time, the eldest wizard among the wizards became extremely wary and tried to gather his magic power to attack Oliver..
Oliver also tried to respond warmly..
"hell.…."
Fahahaaaaa———!!
It was then.
A huge light burst between Oliver and the wizard. Without any warning.
Given the surprised reaction, it didn't seem like Mattel's actions..
Then who on earth?
It was then. A familiar voice sounded in my ears..
“I came to collect the credit. young friend.”
An old man from a bookstore appeared out of thin air, with bald upper hair, hair around the area hanging down like seaweed, a head like an egg, and wearing old clothes..
***
Oliver was embarrassed..
I can't believe I saw the old man in the bookstore here. Rather, how did it appear??
And it seemed like it wasn't just Oliver who was surprised..
Mattel Lab officials were all dumbfounded by the appearance of the old man..
“What the hell are you? I'm with that guy.?”
A wizard asked so.
Meanwhile, an older wizard who particularly stood out intervened, stopping his fellow wizard..
Judging by his emotional state, it seemed like he knew who the owner of the bookstore was..
“archive merlin?”
“Ho... ..you know me?”
The old man from the bookstore asked in an arrogantly confident voice, not the humble one he had used when talking to Oliver. As if it were someone else.
At the same time, Mattel officials, who had been proud to the point of arrogance, began to shake sharply, making muttering noises..
When I heard the word Archive Merlin.
A relatively older wizard answered Merlin's question..
“20I saw you from afar about a year ago. My name is Finn Rousseau, and my teacher is Theodore of the School of Life..”
“Ah, I remember. Rare case. I thought I was going to die because I was under Theodore, but it seems I wasn't. Congratulations.”
The man called Finn bowed his head politely at those words. Not just outwardly, but with sincere respect and courtesy..
Somehow the atmosphere went strangely..
The atmosphere that seemed like a fight had subsided like a lie, and a completely new phase had arrived..
A man who appeared to be the leader of a group of wizards intervened, looking displeased..
“What is everyone doing now??”
Just as the old wizard was about to speak, the bookstore old man, no, Merlin spoke..
“Let’s see… … . He had blond hair that was almost artificially shiny, perfect eyes, white skin without any blemishes, a sturdy physique that was neither fat nor thin, a straight height, an upright posture, and he didn't wear glasses... . Ah, I guess it's Theodore's grandson, Carl, who's been talking a lot these days. Nice to meet you. You're my best friend..”
Carl looked silently at Merlin's outstretched hand..
I wanted to ignore it right away because it seemed like a temperament, but I hesitated as if I was pressured by Merlin's spirit..
Seeing that, Merlin smiled and withdrew his hand..
“Not only does he look like me, but his personality is just like mine..”
Carl was angry.
“Please watch your mouth. I don't know what his relationship with his grandfather was in the past, but he is now the Grand Master and head of the School of Life..”
Instead of being surprised or angry, Merlin just stared. As if she felt pity.
“..…Hey Rousseau.”
“Yes, Merlin..”
“I guess my friends don't know me these days.”
“sorry, sorry.”
“No, no. Forgetting is a great blessing. To be honest, I didn't even want to find out... . I'm just saying that because it's fascinating. In that sense, I will take this friend with me..”
Merlin put his hand on Oliver's shoulder..
Everyone reacted in surprise, but he had no intention of changing his opinion..
“What do you mean by that??”
“That's what I'm saying. This is a friend I've had my eye on for a while, but didn't you guys act first??”
“I said I was paying attention.?”
“aha..… . I guess they just roughly approved the project without properly reviewing it. I heard you guys are all the same. In some areas he is really smart, but in other areas he is really sloppy... . Or it's the fault of the person in charge.”
Merlin narrowed his eyes and looked down at his sword..
As soon as Carl received that look, he showed anger, but was unable to say anything due to Merlin's intimidation..
“I know how you guys work.”
“yes…..”
“I must have been keeping an eye on this friend, and if I look for him, I might be able to find footage of him with me. I felt you.”
"......."
“I was having some fun watching this guy. But you did something to this friend without asking my permission? … .Isn’t this an issue that I can be a little offended by? Please answer comfortably. No matter what you say now, it won't be a problem”
When Carl tried to say something, Rousseau stopped him. He was like a nanny stopping a child..
“sorry. Merlin… . I think we did things a little rashly..”
“Hehe, it's nice to see him so obediently admitting his mistake. Well, it's best for wizards to have accidents at work. Isn’t it said that in the old days, that was why they experimented on high towers? ..… Anyway, in that sense, can I take this friend with me? Since no one died, it's all good, right? huh?”
Merlin asked, putting his hand on Oliver's shoulder..
It seemed like a friendly question, but it was more like a notice disguised as him..
The other side did not know this either..
A leaden silence pressed down on the surroundings..
Rousseau finally spoke up..
“..…of course. Rather, thank you for understanding us..”
match-!
Merlin clapped his hands. Like she's done.
“Good. Then, will you please cooperate??”
Merlin asked, looking back at Oliver standing behind him..
Oliver looked at Merlin, looked at the emotions in his hands, and then looked at the laboratory door at the back. To be exact, they were the kids who were in there..
“Yes, but can they also go together??”
Oliver asked, pointing to the closed lab door. It was more of a request than a question..
Carl from Mattel Labs shouted angrily..
“Whoever wants!!”
Russo was taken aback by the sudden yelling and tried to stop him, but Carl didn't listen..
“Let go of this! The kids over there are the ones who recently succeeded in an experiment! You're saying you're going to take it.!!”
Carl shouted..
It seemed like it was a matter of more than just pride..
Merlin asked as if he had vaguely noticed something..
“hmm… … . Are they related to the reincarnation project??”
“That's right!”
Carl shouted. Judging by the reaction, it seemed like it wasn't really that important..
Merlin thought for a moment, then looked at Oliver. She tried to ask something, but when she saw the look on Oliver's face she gave up and looked back at the Mattel officials..
“..…I will take it as alimony..”
“!! kidding now-”
"-It's no joke. Young friend… .. I am not in a position to joke around or joke around with you. Let's be clear. You have trampled into my quiet territory and troubled me. Whether you acknowledge it or not, it's all the same to me. I need to be compensated.”
"......."
“What should I do? Should I accept my reasonable request now and leave with a smile on my face, or should I use my skills as a wizard? For your information, I don't particularly hate that..”
At that moment, Merlin released some of the magic power hidden deep within his body..
Magic particles were quickly scattered through the air in all directions, passing through everything..
There is so much power that it makes my body tingle..
It seemed to show the difference in power..
Simple but effective, Karl said in a cold sweat..
“Whoa, whoa... .. Do you think this kind of behavior is acceptable! Dare to use other people’s research results.!!”
“Did you say acceptable? Little friend, that's not important. It doesn't matter whether you have the power to do so or not. Why don't you teach me how much money I have to spare??”
"......."
When Karl could not say anything, Rousseau intervened again..
Before he knew it, his goal was to put this situation to rest as much as possible..
“You can take it with you. Mr. Merlin. But please promise me one thing..”
“…..Something?”
“..…Please do not steal our research by examining the bodies of the children over there. I would like to ask you to be the same scholar.."
Karl was about to protest, but Rousseau frowned and stopped him..
“Okay, sure. I promise to be a fellow scholar.."
That concluded the case..
It has become an atmosphere where no one can object anymore..
Merlin said, turning his head towards Oliver..
“Young man, can you bring the kids??”
“yes.”
Oliver put his emotions back into the test tube, opened the lab door, and went in to pick up the children..
Merlin confronted Mattel officials alone..
Although the number of people and the atmosphere were completely opposite,.
Karl said softly.
“..…I will tell my grandfather about this..”
“There's no need for that. I will go see you in person.”
