Genius Warlock-Episode 178
"This is something I am extremely thankful for. master.”
Marie shed tears as she answered..
Surprisingly, she cried, but she wasn't crying because she was sad..
It was quite the opposite..
She shed tears filled with positive emotions such as joy, gladness, gratitude, joy, etc..
At least, you've become pretty. Those words made her happier than anyone else in the world, and at the same time, she showed infinite gratitude to Oliver..
It wasn't a matter for Oliver to judge, but it seemed out of the ordinary..
Everything from start to finish......
‘What on earth happened??’
As time passed while Oliver was wondering, Marie gathered her emotions and returned to a calm state..
"Sorry, sorry. master. I am so moved to see my master again like this... . I'm sorry for showing you my ugly side..”
Sincerity.
Oliver shook his head..
"no. It didn't look ugly. Even though I don’t quite understand, well… .. If it’s okay, could you please do me a favor??”
"yes! Please speak!”
Marie knelt down again, beaming with infinite joy. I've seen that somewhere... .. Oh, I remembered..
It was very similar to believers praying in a cathedral. people praying to god.
"number of animals..… . I ask you again, please don't kneel before me. please. please.”
Marie, who must have felt Oliver's emotions indirectly, was startled and jumped up..
It was like a child being scolded by an adult..
"Sorry, sorry. master. Please forgive me…..”
Oliver felt dizzy and uncomfortable in a way that was difficult to describe..
But I came to my senses and decided to work things out step by step..
“….It's not my place to say anything since I left on my own, but if you don't mind, could I ask how other people are doing? Joseph family..”
"Everyone is doing well. I received the master's grace like the river sea..”
"......."
"And I have one thing to tell you.”
"Tell me please. I also have a lot to say.”
"We changed our organization's name. I sincerely ask your forgiveness for changing it without permission..”
“ah… .. There is no need to ask for forgiveness. number of animals. Since I left in the first place, whatever you change is up to you. However, can I ask what the name is??”
"These are the chosen people.”
"ah..… . Who were you chosen by??”
“That’s right, master.!”
Marie answered without the slightest hesitation, hesitation, or doubt..
He was so confident that Oliver was speechless..
"uh..… . It's me?”
"yes master!”
"Hey there, Marie. The previous owner… Uh, wait... .. Can we stop this story for a moment and change to another story??”
Oliver said, sitting down on the roots of a nearby tree. he was a little tired.
"chair-”
"-No, thanks. I am comfortable here. Marie, please sit down too..”
"No, how dare I… ..I feel comfortable standing.”
"……great. Well, let me ask you another question..”
"Yes, please speak.”
“….Can I ask what happened after I left? Something's strange..”
"Ah, yes… .. After the master left, a small ordeal came..”
"It's an ordeal?”
"Yes, some thought the master was gone forever, some tried to leave, some declared themselves new masters, and some tried to steal..”
"ah… . I didn't know it would be that much. sorry.”
"no. Why do you apologize to people like us? You don't have to do that at all. The work was completed well..”
"oh how?”
"I killed them all.”
Hehehe..….
A cold wind imbued with the spirit of winter suddenly blew through the forest..
It was so cold it gave me goosebumps.
"what..… . You might be like that. If we don't agree, we may fight, hit, or even kill each other. But you managed to win.?”
This was sincere.
Before leaving, Oliver gave her intensive training and took her to the battlefield to increase her practical experience, but objectively speaking, Marie's skills were similar to those of other advanced students..
It's okay if you're one-on-one, but it's actually difficult to deal with many people on your own..
"Is this only true for intermediate disciples??”
"no. They were all high-ranking disciples, and thanks to this, I had to kill more than half of them..”
"I don't understand, but it's amazing..”
"Everything is the Lord's grace.”
"I haven't done anything in particular?”
"No, I can tell. From beginning to end, it's all thanks to the Lord's grace..”
Marie was sincere..
Oliver wanted to correct this, but he had a lot to talk about, so he decided to put it off for now..
"Well, let's put that aside for now.... From what I've heard at first glance, I understand that they produce Pilgerette-Gift. Marie actually acted as a broker..”
"Ah, that's some kind of fake identity. To explore Landa.”
"okay. Well, that's not important, are you sure you are producing Pilgerette-Gift??”
"Yes, I made it with all my heart, using the recipe the owner taught me. Never, ever become someone who teaches."
"Thank you for saying that. However, I heard one strange thing..”
"What is it??”
"They say this was created by some pseudo-warlock cult. Is this true??”
Oliver asked, recalling Nina from the Demon Gun, whom he met while guarding Lady Jane and whom he killed..
For some reason I couldn't ask about it in detail, but I always had a mild suspicion..
"no.”
"Oh, I see.”
"Yes, it's a cult. We serve the Master, our true savior..”
"...............yes?"
"Unlike pathetic people like Pater, we are chosen by our master and have the honor of serving him. It’s a pseudo..... . It doesn't make sense.”
The moment Oliver heard those words, he didn't know what to say..
It was so perplexing that Oliver couldn't understand it..
Nevertheless, Oliver did not give up and tried to understand Marie..
As the light faded, Oliver also had a purpose and left the Joseph Family. After a year and a few months, the Joseph Family... .. No, the ‘Chosen People’ have grown into a pretty decent organization that does business with the Crime Firm..
I understood this up to this point. But, worshiping yourself? I didn't understand this at all, it was so confusing..
Marie spoke about whether she interpreted this as a wrong signal..
"After my master left, I was very sad, but I did not give up weakly. I realized the ordeal my master had given me and tried to endure it..”
"It's an ordeal?”
"Yes, we realized our laziness. We realized our incompetence. Isn’t that why you left us??”
"well. You can see it that way, but overall I think it's wrong.?”
Marie did not listen to Oliver. She became even more furious and shouted..
"When we discovered the impure elements in our organization, we realized how pathetic we were. How dare you accept your master's favor like a parasite and not even think about repaying him! Even if I wanted to, I couldn't really put it into action.!”
"......."
"So, we decided to create a new group that would be fully capable of serving our master. I tried to create believers who were loyal only to their master, did everything for their master, and worshiped only their master..”
"......."
"First, we reorganized the organization and let everyone know how grateful we are to the owner. And spread the master's teachings."
"Teaching? It's me?”
"yes! Don't discriminate, cooperate! Treat them according to their abilities! Provide equal education to everyone! Share your knowledge with each other! Guarantee a minimum standard of living and work tirelessly.!”
Marie screamed loudly and gasped..
"For us foolish people, all of this is a very grateful lesson..”
“….I think it's basic.”
"This world doesn't even have the basics.”
Marie answered with all her sincerity..
“..…We have received an immeasurable favor from our master that we cannot possibly repay..”
“……First of all, keep talking.”
"Everyone understood what I was saying and I informed the pharmacist..”
Chemist. The owner of Weinham, the dark force that holds a tight grip on the small town..
I also felt a little sorry for him..
They wanted to do business together, but Oliver unilaterally left without saying anything..
"The man was very angry when he heard what we said, but we soon persuaded him..”
"Persuasion?”
"Yes, I was convinced when I saw the teachings the master left behind and the strength he left behind..”
"Are you alive??”
"of course. I am in charge of the finances and relief for the poor of the Church of the Chosen..”
"Rescue the poor?”
"Yes, God needs believers worthy of him. Although it is not yet large enough to tell the owner, our church is expanding little by little, mainly in small cities..”
"......."
"Please do not misunderstand. I know what kind of person my master is. We are by no means forcing you to believe. We actually help those in need. Just as you did to us.”
"......."
"The sick, orphans, the elderly, women, workers, and beggars. We give money, food, clothing and jobs to those who cannot survive alone in this harsh world. In the process, I only show that this is all thanks to my master and spread his teachings..”
"......."
"Then, they suddenly become aware of their master's teachings and follow them wholeheartedly..”
"And if they achieve anything, they'll think it's all thanks to me..”
"It's not an illusion, it's true.!”
Marie raised her voice without realizing it. She looked surprised herself..
"Sorry, sorry. Please forgive me. How dare you raise your voice without knowing the topic… . please forgive me.”
"No, you can yell. Just don't try to kneel down."
"Thank you for your mercy… .. Currently, our chosen ones are about 200 people, including the warlocks who are going through the training process, and the number of believers has just passed 3,000. Although it is shabby compared to its owner, its growth is rapid. All this for the master-”
“-number of animals.”
"yes?”
Oliver thought for a moment and sighed..
"I didn't ask for that. I didn't even want it.”
"......."
"All I wanted was for everyone to do what they wanted, including you, Marie. Either work hard and become rich, or get revenge on the person who hit you... Marie, why did you become a warlock??”
“..…It's because I want to become stronger. Because she hated the times when she couldn't say anything..”
"Yes, that's right. He said he hated the times when he couldn't do anything even when dirty sewage was dumped right next to his house, when his mother collapsed from illegal labor, and when his father was beaten to death by neighborhood thugs. I remember.”
Even though Marie was surprised, she still looked happy. She was grateful and surprised that Oliver remembered her story..
"So wouldn't it be better to practice black magic rather than doing something no one wants to do??”
“……You are right..”
"You understand..”
"Yes, and I still want to be strong. master. To become someone who can be by the master's side..”
"......."
"What you want can change. I want to serve you as my savior and god..”
"I am neither a savior nor a god. What I did for you was simply because it was my job at the time.."
"Yes, of course you will. … master. Master, do you know about the practice of sun worship??”
".....no?”
"ancient. It is said that before the creation of Paterism, some humans worshiped the sun.."
"......."
"It is said that they painted pictures, made stone statues, bowed to them, and offered the most delicious meat and bread. The sun shines on the earth, dispelling darkness, providing warmth and nutrients for crops to grow… . But the sun doesn't know that and doesn't intend to..”
"......."
"The sun is just doing its job. Whether you worship it or insult it, it always rises and falls. I just quietly do my job..”
“Yes, so-”
“-But doesn't the sun have value??!”
"......."
"No matter how the tiny creatures on earth behave, isn't the sun, which silently does its work, the savior and god?! Rather than a contradictory being that forces victory or victory.!!”
At that moment, Joanna's face passed by Oliver. No, let me correct that. I can't remember her face anymore.
"......."
"Everything you gave me was light, warmth, and nourishment. All you did was put your hand in my hand and teach me black magic, listen to my story, and talk to me. It's raining like this..…."
Marie knelt down again, folded her hands and shed tears..
“I am still in a shabby place to serve my master, but please show mercy and come back. I swear on my soul and the souls of our believers that I will give you everything you want and enhance your glory. So please be our savior and our god..”
Oliver looked down at Marie kneeling three times and opened his mouth..
"I'll do whatever I want?”
“yes!”
Marie answered, her face brightening as if she had encountered hope..
"So, stop this nonsense of worshiping me as your savior or god and go back to your own life and live for yourself..”
“master…..”
"I don't want anything that Marie did. And it doesn't make sense.”
"Ichiyo?”
"Yes, as Marie said, the sun always rises and sets whether you curse it or worship it. So humans looked for a new object of worship. But why does Marie go so far as to serve the sun? Isn’t that an action that deviates from the teachings of the sun? It's not for the sun.”
Oliver's firm tone, which was not typical of Oliver, was enough to make Marie bow her head..
She lay face down in the sea in despair, looking at the land and being silent..
"That's all I have to say. It's different from what I thought, but it was nice to meet you anyway. I hope to see you in a different way next time..”
Oliver said that and went back the way he came. He thought it would be daylight when he got home..
"you're right.”
"yes?”
"What you said is correct, master. Actually, I didn't do this for you, master. I did this because I wanted to be by my master's side. If I do this, I wonder if you will stay by my lowly side..”
“..…It's a pity.”
"Yes, I feel the same way..”
Marie slowly got up. At the same time, her hair grew longer and her pale skin turned pure black..
"......."
"So, I also need to change my ways. He told me to live the way I want... . You can drag the master by force.?”
Marie's body turned completely black. As she strained her slender hands, long, creepy fingernails grew..
Oliver answered, taking off his leather mask..
".....It's good. Try it.”
