Genius Warlock-Episode 182

"Nice to meet you. number of animals.”

Oliver left without saying one word..

The emotional particle that lost control had already scattered into the air and disappeared, but no one, including Marie, could catch him..

I had succumbed to its overwhelming presence..

After a while, Marie's men got up one by one and came to the fallen Marie..

An ordinary warlock would have killed the master at this time, but these people were also genuinely worried as they supported Marie as they were not ordinary warlocks..

Whether he was hit by Marie or not.

"thank god. Your body is recovering... . car! There's a potion, potion neutralizer, and first aid kit in the car! Bring it now!”

"I'll bring it!”

Like children worried about their injured parents, they moved in perfect order..

It's a strange sight for a warlock, but if you dig into the details, it's not that strange..

Most of these people were orphans, products of human traffickers, low-level disciples or slaves of a small family of warlocks, or human experiment rats..

A life without hope.

The person who saved me from that darkness was none other than Marie. He even recognized his talent and collected it himself..

For them, Marie was their mother and savior who saved them from a harsh world..

In fact, the mother was looking at someone other than them..

"Did you hear?”

Marie opened her mouth, gathering her emotions, perhaps as if she had calmed down..

"Teacher. Are you okay??”

"Yes, I'm fine. ..… He's gone.”

I'm crying.

The disciples felt intense hatred, jealousy, and murderous intent for an instant upon hearing those words..

Even though she was attacked right before her death, Marie's attitude remained the same..

1I have been blindly looking at the being called 'him' and 'master' for years, and even now that I have been rejected, it has not changed. No, it got worse..

What on earth is he??

Of course, I saw his power and presence, but... . Even so. this was so unfair.

Sticky, seething emotions. Marie read the emotion..

"I warn you, don't you dare harbor any disrespectful feelings toward Him..”

Even though Marie was in tatters, she warned her disciples as if she would tear her to death at any moment..

Pure sincerity, not bravado or process..

Marie's disciples bowed their heads like children facing angry parents and gave in against their will..

Marie, who saw this, took a deep breath and opened her mouth again..

"..…I haven't forgotten that you attacked my master earlier. Nevertheless, the reason you are alive and breathing is only because of His words. I mean, I'm alive thanks to His mercy. Don't you dare harbor such blasphemous feelings. It's a warning.”

Even though Marie's subordinates felt angry, there was nothing they could do other than suppress their anger and nod..

After a while, a disciple brought a potion, neutralizer, and first aid kit..

"This needs to be treated first. Your condition is critical..”

What the disciple said was not a lie.

Marie's body was torn, burst, broken, and crushed by Oliver's attack..

If it weren't for Marie's unique black magic, it wouldn't be surprising if she died..

The good news was that it was recovering to some extent, albeit slowly..

"Wait.”

As we waited as Mari said, the black magic that dyed Mari's body black connected the wounds like a thread and slowly repaired her body..

All restorations were done automatically..

Regardless of Marie’s will..

Thanks to this, Marie was able to focus on fighting without worrying about recovery at all, and because of that, she was able to somehow defeat enemies that were one or two levels higher than her..

It was truly a strange black magic..

No one could figure out how Marie came to be able to use it. Even Marie herself.

All I knew was that I could use it while fighting hard to protect the family my master left behind..

As if someone dressed me up.

Maybe that's why sometimes Marie felt like she was borrowing other people's power instead of her own..

‘It doesn’t matter what… . If only he could stand by his side.’

Marie put aside trivial facts and slowly worked out the black magic she had recovered from..

As the black light that colored Marie's body retreated to the center of her body, Marie's unique pale skin was revealed..

Considering what happened to Oliver, it was considerably better, but even so, Marie's body was full of small wounds..

If you take damage above a certain level, the damage remains like this..

Marie's men healed Marie's wounds as if they were used to it..

When I was expanding my church, I encountered a similar situation several times..

"Hmm…."

Even though the potion's toxicity was lowered with a neutralizer, Marie clenched her teeth as if in pain..

The wound healed with bubbling bubbles, and I applied ointment from the first aid kit and put a compress and bandage on it..

As the wounds were treated, inexplicable resentment and anger rose within the disciples..

Well, the woman they love and respect clings so servilely to a guy like that..

Finally, one of Marie's students spoke up. He looked handsome to everyone..

"Teacher.”

"Do not speak. 'Cause I know what you're going to say.”

The disciple was silent for a moment and then spoke again..

“….Nevertheless, please allow me to speak. This is something I must say.”

Marie glared at her student with sharp eyes. She was ready to cut her throat with her fingernails at any moment..

But the disciple was not offended..

‘In matters related to 'him', Marie was fanatical and cruel, but other than that, she was a warmer and more wonderful person than anyone else..

He knew how to run an organization efficiently by dividing up roles, did not sacrifice himself, did not make unreasonable demands on his subordinates, and treated them fairly. He was the most capable and thoughtful person I had ever seen in this difficult world..

Even though she was a warlock, everyone respected and followed her. Of course, men were one of them..

That's why I couldn't back down even more..

“.…great. say it.”

Marie took a step back from her student..

"It wasn't your intention, but you met him, right? He rejected us.”

"Oh, that's stupid. Just because the sun rejects small things, can small things reject the sun? Don't you dare put us on the same level as him. It's arrogance. Is it a Buddhist scripture?.”

"But the leader-”

“-Again, don't deny Him. Because of me, you are, and because of Him, I am… . Our existence can be established because of Him. Whether you want it or not.”

Marie said with sincerity.

Perhaps, even if Oliver unfairly ordered her to die, she would have followed sincerely..

Marie herself and her students knew this..

That's why the disciples became even more angry..

How could a faceless man manipulate the great leader who leads them and their organization like this?.

After treatment, Marie woke up shakily..

Marie's disciple held out a potion containing condensed vitality to replenish stamina..

"It's not that there aren't any results..”

Marie muttered after taking a sip of the potion..

"Although he is not with us, we have received formal permission to seungbae anyway. After all, we were the chosen ones. Standing at the right hand of the true savior…..”

Marie was delighted..

"We are his true believers. He says we are truly chosen… . It's just that he lives there, so it's still small..”

A messy, illogical way of speaking. But there was no problem. From the very beginning, the act of seeking logic from faith was the height of foolishness..

Faith is just believing and following.

At that time, the disciple who was talking to Marie struck the candle..

"But he told me not to dare interfere with his daily life.?”

Marie suddenly stopped..

".…that's right. It was like that. But no matter what happens, the sun rises. We just have to do our job accordingly. Increase believers, expand the church, and make more of His servants. He won't be ashamed when he comes.”

The disciples could no longer say anything after seeing Marie's unusual eyes and firm tone of voice..

She was a wise woman who always listened to the opinions of those around her, but she never backed down when it came to her faith..

Marie commanded..

"Let’s all go back now. Today is a meaningful day. Let's get right back and make plans for him..”

The disciples bowed their heads politely and responded that they would follow the command..

After a while, the disciples, each with big or small injuries, got into the car and started moving..

The two F-Series vehicles pulled out of the woods and onto the suburban road out of Landa, heading toward Weinham..

Marie closed her eyes due to fatigue as she returned..

With that, I thought of Oliver's face and repeated what he said over and over again..

'......You've become prettier.’

***

Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-clack!

When Forrest's direct communication device rang about five times, Oliver picked it up..

Oliver was wearing work clothes, work shoes, work gloves, and an apron made of special material, so he seemed quite uncomfortable to move..

A voice was heard from the communication device..

[dave?]

"Yes, Forrest. That's me.”

[Right. I didn't receive the communication device so I thought something had happened..]

[sorry. was working.]

What Oliver said was true.

Although he couldn't move yet, Oliver was continuing his research and work by temporarily arranging equipment in the basement..

Of course, the only things I could do were short tasks such as repairing and making corpse dolls..

[what work?]

"I was dismantling polluted creatures alive by referring to a black magic book I bought at an auction house..”

[aha..… . I asked for no reason.]

Oliver looked at the workbench he was working on..

Parker, a giant spider handled by Allister of the Kell Freedom Army, was completely dismantled except for the head, pincer hands, thread-spouting organs, and spiked tail..

Thanks to this, there was blood everywhere, but Helper 1 was skillfully cleaning it, so it wasn't a problem..

"I'm thinking about attaching it to my next invoice doll..”

[for battle?]

"No, it's difficult to use for combat, so I'm thinking of just attaching it to Assistant 2. I thought spider thread would be helpful in my work..”

[I don't want to know what it is, but I'm glad it's not for combat. If a corpse doll with a spider head wanders around, even this city whose faith is at an all-time low will ask for help from a paladin..]

"Yes, you said so..”

Oliver answered, remembering Forrest's advice from the past..

After finding out that a corpse doll was being used, Forrest didn't say anything about it, but did advise to use something that looked as good as possible..

The uglier the appearance, the higher the hostility..

So, rather than making a corpse doll-rag 2 right away, Oliver was researching a way to make it look good while maintaining its original function..

At least the appearance in battle is different from the usual appearance..

"Don't worry too much about that part. More than that, how was this broker meeting? I received the book from Mr. Al, but I was disappointed that I couldn't meet him..”

[Oh, I just liked that. It's just the right amount of flattery. It looks like you learned not only makeup but also speaking skills from Miss Coco..]

"I'm serious.”

[Well, it was good as usual. With the union fee, you can stay at a top-class hotel and receive free services. Especially this time, I felt like I was the main character. Thanks to you.]

"That's too much praise..”

[I'm serious. Who would have thought that auction house security, which is said to be unpredictable and relatively unprofitable, would become such a boon?.]

Oliver nodded as if he vaguely understood..

From what I heard from Al, the sight of Oliver defeating the intruder at the auction house left a deep impression on those who attended as guests..

They say it was great publicity because most of the auction house participants were influential people in Landa..

"Was there any other story??”

[I want to say no, but the world doesn't work the way I want. There are a lot of stories about the city project security department. I heard they've already hired some problem solvers with skills and credibility..]

"Wow, everyone must be very dissatisfied.?”

[That's usually the case. He kidnapped the excellent problem solver who was working with him. However, the city also provides a reasonable brokerage fee, so it is not that serious. It's just blank for a moment.]

"Oh, I see.”

[Even though the city seems to be lax, sometimes it handles things sharply. Anyway, I've been discussing with other brokers how the creation of a city security department will affect the balance of power in Landa and our broker union. Although there was no plausible answer. In addition, the contaminated area cleaning season has returned again..]

"Are you back already??”

[Okay, fortunately this time it's another district's turn, so there's no need to participate. Why do you want to participate??]

Oliver thought for a moment and shook his head..

I wouldn't know if I didn't have any black magic books, but I already had them. First of all, the order was to read the books available first..

"No, thanks.”

[Thank goodness. If you volunteered to take on the job, the price might drop..]

"Is that so?”

[Not necessarily, but you should only take on expensive jobs because expensive jobs will come in. Speaking of which, when will I be able to work? I don't plan on telling you to go to work right away, but work is pouring in. I hope to take over as soon as possible.]

I couldn't see the emotion, but it seemed like he meant it in his voice..

While Oliver was wondering when the right time would be, someone came in front of the basement entrance and knocked on the door..

He was a person whose emotions were quite familiar..

Oliver took off his apron and hung it up, then walked to the front door and pulled the doorknob..

When the door opened, Merlin bobbed his head with his shiny upper hair..

"Could I contact you later??”

Oliver spoke into the communicator..
