Genius Warlock-Episode 141
Pachik———Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
A purple portal formed in the air and Oliver entered it..
When I came out of the portal, I found myself in a dormitory. It wasn't near Oliver's dorm or in front of the house, it was inside..
It was amazing. They told me the address, but I never thought they would create a portal inside..
I knew that the magic of the Space School was great, but I realized its usefulness once again..
Oliver turned his head to ask a question, but unfortunately the portal had already disappeared..
Well, there was nothing to regret..
He said he would contact me after finishing urgent work in about 2 to 3 weeks..
Oliver examined the cuff-shaped beacon he received from Merlin..
"Well, I'm just thankful that you took care of Rossburn and the other kids too.."
Suddenly, I remembered what happened in the past few days..
When I looked back, it seemed like a lot had happened..
After taking on the job of escorting Lady Jane at Edith's request and receiving a large sum of money, she took a break in the name of rest, but met Joe and taught him black magic, ordered corpses from the black market, and caused problems with Mattel, among many other things. there was.
He even happened to form a contractual relationship with Merlin, whom he thought was an old man from a bookstore, and promised to learn magic.…….
It felt like it was all a dream. But she still told him that the new clothes she received from Merlin were not a dream but reality..
"after......."
Oliver looked around the room..
A space to lie down and sleep and have a simple meal.
Things were in disarray. As if someone broke in and ransacked it..
It was an unexpected situation, but at the same time, it wasn't that surprising..
Even though there are gangs nearby and security is guaranteed to some extent, I did not expect there to be no thieves at all..
Above all, nothing had disappeared.
Well, the only thing worth money was a small refrigerator..
After cleaning up the mess in the house, Oliver went outside and went down to the basement entrance..
Just-just-just-
First of all, there was no need to worry too much..
Since the important and sensitive items such as the child, the processed corpse, the broken corpse doll, and the medicine under the surgical tools were fed to Big Mouth, there was nothing particularly important in the basement..
Nevertheless, the reason I went down was to understand the situation..
“this..…."
I wondered if it was possible, but of course. There was a corpse lying in front of the basement entrance..
When I looked at the wound, it seemed like Oliver had been killed by a defense device that had been installed just in case..
It is a combination of a black magic circle and a minion, and is designed to react and kill what is in front of you when you try to force open a door or dispel a defense black magic..
It seemed like the corpse lying there was hit during an attempt to break in..
When I saw the putrid smell, it seemed like a few days had passed since I died..
Oliver quietly observed him and searched his clothes for anything that could identify him..
After rustling around a few times, I found something..
It was a magical hand mirror-like object, a wallet, and an ID card indicating that he was an apprentice researcher at Mattel..
I thought it was someone from Mattel..
Oliver thought as he looked at the dead body in silence..
‘Will the problem with Mattel arise again??’
I wasn't sure, but I decided no and shook my head..
Whatever it was, it was this one that tried to break in first..
“Ain Charleson…. . From Northland.”
Oliver read the man's ID card in his wallet and took it with the bill..
Then he took out the Big Mouth from his belt and told them to take the body..
Although it was rotten, it could be processed and used to this extent. The expiration date may be short, but it was not a big problem since I would replace it by making a new invoice doll anyway..
Above all, he was a wizard of the Magic Tower, whether an apprentice or something else. It seemed like it would be perfect if mixed with the corpses of doctors and warlocks ordered from the black market..
It wasn't a bad harvest.
“Gurgling……."
The glutton who had swallowed the corpse whole looked at Oliver..
Apparently, according to what the producer said, the bigger you get, the worse your temper gets, but that wasn't the case at all..
Suddenly, I wondered what the reason was..
Did the person who made it not properly understand his own skills??
I didn't think it would be a bad idea to visit later and ask..
Who else knows? I wonder if we can talk about this and learn tips for making black magic items..
After organizing his thoughts, Oliver folded the Big Mouse again and placed it in the leather case around his waist, then extracted the emotions and inserted them into the security black magic, like inserting a key, to unlock the black magic lock..
With the feeling of the black magic circle disappearing in his hand, Oliver went inside the door and looked..
For reference, even if you forcibly release the black magic circle and kill the minions that pop out, if you force your way into the basement, minions with Rasboom will pop out and the inside will explode. This was also to prevent an unexpected situation..
The only things I had were cheap, unimportant things like tables and furniture, but I prepared like this just in case..
‘I feel sorry for Mr. Murphy, though..’
Anyway, Oliver checked the basement, which was in good condition compared to the bedroom on the second floor. There didn't seem to be any problems.
“hmm..… . Still, I guess I'll have to change places..”
Oliver muttered after thinking for a moment..
That's right, there wasn't a big problem right away, but in the end, it turned out to be a very unsafe place..
In order to feel safe and increase the size and quality of the laboratory, we had to look for another location..
Oh, of course, I wasn't angry or disappointed. It was just an objective judgment..
And I had no intention of stopping everything right away..
The plan was to go to the black market, take over the ordered corpse, process it, and then make an auxiliary corpse doll..
I was just planning on holding off on building a proper lab like a puppet..
I needed a safer place than this to completely settle down..
“……Let's not rush. slowly.”
Oliver muttered, looked into the basement, and then came out..
I organized my thoughts again.
So much happened, something unexpected happened that I needed to sort things out..
“First of all, he said he would resolve the issue with Mattel, so I would watch over him, and he would also take care of Rossburn and the other kids, so, um.…..”
When I thought about it, there wasn't really anything Oliver needed to do..
Merlin said he would take care of most of Oliver's problems..
I didn't realize it because I was tired, but when I thought about it, it seemed like it helped me more than I imagined..
In fact, it was Oliver's power to do the impossible..
But that doesn't mean I can stay still.
It would be two or three weeks before he would meet Merlin again, so in the meantime, Oliver had to do what he could..
“first of all..… . I need to meet Forest first..”
So Oliver decided the first thing he would do..
***
The reason Oliver made meeting Forrest his first priority was for a combination of reasons..
First of all, the first reason was that Oliver unilaterally cut off contact with Forrest..
It wasn't intentional, but I've been contacted by Forrest a few times since I went to Mattel to rescue Rossburn.,
The problem is that I didn't receive it at all and just ignored it because of various things that happened..
In that state, I didn't visit for several days. I thought it would be in order to go and say hello..
The second reason was to work as a troubleshooter..
Although he went through some trouble, he recovered his condition thanks to Merlin's consideration, and more than anything, he needed money..
It wasn't urgent right away, but I felt like I had rested for too long. In addition, in order to obtain better experiment locations, materials, and other necessary things, we had to save up money even now..
The third and final reason was to follow Merlin's teachings..
When asked to teach him about the world, he advised him to learn by seeing..
They say that the world we learn through someone's mouth is not the real world, but a fabricated world..
When I thought about it, it didn't seem like it was wrong..
The world seen through someone's eyes and experience had no choice but to undergo processing..
That's probably why Jane's and Merlin's explanations of the colony are different..
The only way Oliver knew of seeing the world was by working as a problem solver..
Oliver wanted to know more seriously. about this world.
Mattel knows everything about how he can do something like that, why orphans are treated as experiments, why there are so many orphans, why colonies were created, what specifically the Paterism is, and the phenomena that occur in this world and their roots. I wanted to.
Black magic and the devil, just as much as beautiful light..
It felt like there was no end and the things I had to do kept increasing, but to be honest, I didn't really hate it..
The more there is to learn, the more there is to know. This was a great joy.
rattle. rattle.
Forest Restaurant opened as usual and a bell rang to announce the arrival of customers..
And with him, Al, a waiter, came out and welcomed the guests..
“Welcome-”
As soon as Al saw Oliver, he looked surprised..
It was especially difficult to see him because his actions and expressions were always restrained while he was working..
So Oliver said hello first this time..
"hello. Mr. Al."
“Ah, hello. Mr. Dave… .. It’s really nice to meet you. please forgive my rudeness.”
Al, who came to his senses, said this. As soon as he saw Oliver, he expressed surprise and shock..
It was true that he ignored my calls and didn't show up for a few days, but I thought it was a bit excessive..
Al returned to his usual self and spoke. It was truly professional..
“….Mr. Dave. Are you here to meet the boss??”
“yes.”
“then. We will guide you. Please follow me.”
“Can't I wait??”
“Yes, of course.”
With those words, Al guided Oliver, and Oliver followed him..
Usually, to meet Forrest, it was either a narrow restaurant office or a broker's office deep in the basement, but this time, he was guided to the second office..
The small side door next to the grocery warehouse..
“Can I go this way??”
“Yes that's right.”
Al answered, bowing his head, and Oliver nodded, opened the door, and went downstairs..
Al said just as he was about to completely close the door..
“Thank you so much for coming here..”
Oliver nodded without knowing what was happening..
“Thank you for saying that..”
***
After a brief greeting with Al, Oliver started to go down..
It was really deep no matter when I went..
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like it was connected to the underground city, another city under Landa that Cant had mentioned..
There is a lot of room to hide or run away in an emergency and escape to another place..
It definitely seemed like a place needed for a broker..
After thinking about this and that, Oliver soon reached the bottom basement..
Then, as was my habit, I started walking along the narrow, single-track corridor..
Even though it's been a while since I visited, nothing has changed..
smart-
Oliver arrived at the end of the hallway and knocked on the small door..
After a while, a voice was heard..
“Please come in.”
With a weak voice, Oliver politely opened the door and went inside..
A familiar office scene caught my eye: a table and chairs on one side, a huge counter, and filing cabinets filling the back..
What was unfamiliar was Forest struggling with several communication devices the size of a human head..
He, who always looked disheveled in a neat suit, had become haggard in just a few days..
His shirt was soaked in sweat and wrinkles, his hair, which was always oiled, was disheveled, and there were faint but dark circles under his eyes..
It looked like he had been having a hard time for a few days..
Oliver instinctively felt that the trouble was his fault..
Not knowing what to say, Oliver started by saying hello..
“uh… … . hello?”
“no. Hello, I can't.”
Forrest sighed and answered..
