Genius Warlock-Episode 192
bang! Bang bang!! Bang 1!!
A vicious sound, like striking metal, echoed through the basement, and soon the lonely squeak of iron chains echoed low..
Joe breathing hard.
He thought he was going to rest for a while, then dried himself with a towel and went to the safe in one corner of the basement..
It's like, here's the money. I feel like doing it. Actually, it wasn't that wrong..
I put some money away in case of a possible thief. That's right, he just steals this and goes back..
Shuhahahaha.
Joe extracted the raw emotions and wrapped them around his arms..
The black suit was still limited to armor, but black armor was a different story. Thanks to a lot of effort, I was able to wrap it around my entire arm, albeit crudely, and see visible results..
Joe used the black armor to push a 265-kilogram office safe aside..
Chijijijijik.……!
The heavy piece of metal groaned and moved slowly..
"Ah, damn it… . It leaves a trace.”
Joe looked at the wall behind the safe, seeing drag marks on the floor..
there was space there.
It was a space made of holes, and inside were several sacks of money like those seen in cheap plays..
The difference is that this one contains real money, totaling just over 250 million Rand..
It was an unimaginably large amount of money in Area X, but it was actually not that strange..
I made a lot of money through black market security, hunting down Kell rebels through collaboration with Dave, and prison escape season, and was also quite active in illegal fighting games. Above all, Joe didn't spend much except on food, alcohol, work, and repayment, so he didn't have any major problems and was able to save money easily..
This was also pretty great.
Considering that in Area.
Joe took the money bag containing this month's 'repayment', moved the safe back to its place, and went out, rubbing the scratch marks with his shoe. I felt like I would have to find a way to erase or hide those traces later..
As I went up the stairs, I saw Sam, Owen, and others sitting on street chairs working on their guns, with a different light from the basement..
"I'm here?”
"Did you come out??”
"Uh, the down payment is?”
"here."
"I also took some.”
As if they had promised in advance, Sam and Owen put out their pockets containing money..
Joe put it in his pocket to make it easier to carry around and said let's move..
The youngest, Owen, was still disciplined and got up quickly, while Sam leisurely assembled his gun and got up quickly..
The fully assembled gun was placed inside the coat I recently purchased..
This is a military item with a bulletproof function, purchased from a black market. In addition, I also bought a magic bomb, a modified sword-off shotgun, and a submachine gun..
At first glance, it seemed like too much, but at the end of the day, the only thing I could trust was my own helplessness, so I had no choice..
In contrast, Owen only bought armor lined with iron, and his only weapon was an iron club..
Well, that wasn't a problem because it was more threatening than the clumsy gun. In terms of strength alone, there was no one around here, including Joe, who could match him..
‘hmm… .. If Owen could use black magic as well as me, it would be amazing. But it's not at the level I can teach......'
At that moment, a man passed through Joe's mind..
It's a bit strange, but his black magic skills and teaching skills are top-notch..
‘No, it doesn't go that far..’
"Where are you going??”
Someone spoke to Joe, who was lost in thought. He was a tough kid who lived in the neighborhood..
"go to work The kids?”
"I'm taking a nap. Come late?”
"I don't know either.”
As soon as Joe answered, he took out some bills from his wallet. My income has improved recently, so spending this much was not a big deal. After all, there was a lot of money and things to do. Even though the earning process was a mess, the ample wallet was worth it..
"Here, buy something to eat with this. Don't walk around alone, tell other guys to go with you.”
"They say everyone is busy?”
"If you don't want to be beaten by me, don't do anything stupid and just do what you're told. What on earth are you doing these days??”
"Let me find out.”
The kid next door... . No, her dead colleague Nico's sister answered, taking the bill..
Joe patted the girl's head as hard as he could and walked forward..
As we moved out of Joe's residence, the once livable neighborhood suddenly turned into a typical District X..
It's a desolate and dangerous place where it wouldn't be surprising if a crazy man, a fanatic, a human trafficker, a mutant, or an armed robber pops up in an alley..
In fact, there was no such case..
Even if it has achieved its own ecosystem, Area X is also one of the areas abandoned by the city..
Once you leave the community living area, all kinds of raiders rush towards easy prey..
I've been hurt a few times too. That hasn't happened since I learned black magic from the boss and started making a name for myself..
"W, I’m not a champion.?”
As Joe crossed the center of Area X and reached the loading dock adjacent to the River Shem, someone spoke to him..
Old man Noah was a common smuggler in this city..
As a side job, I occasionally worked as a water taxi driver, transporting people between Areas X and Y..
"I had some fun last game by betting on you, but when are we going to play again??”
"I'm not going out. Inspiration.”
"why! … .You can earn a lot by playing just one game.?”
"Even if you don't do that, you'll make a lot of money..”
As if to prove it, Joe threw a fairly large sum of money at Old Man Noah..
In exchange for the boat usage fee and the cost of telling them to keep their mouths shut, the quick-witted old man kept his mouth shut and took Joe and his group on board the boat..
As a huge river flowing through a huge city, the Shem River was very wide, so there was no hardship..
Every time I pass by this dirty brown river that looks like a mixture of animals and sewage, I feel dizzy..
If you lived near a river, you would know why children are born mutants..
This was the reason why I paid a lot of money to go on Noah’s boat..
If the boat capsized even once, it would be fatal. I wanted to use a safe means of transportation even if it costs a lot..
I didn't want to ruin my body, which was my entire possession, just to save a few bucks..
"Well, arrived… . When will I come back??”
The old man, who had already arrived at the Y area across the street, asked:.
I wasn't given the option of waiting, but Joe didn't really care either..
Although the rate of attacks on smuggling ships, which were a safe means of transportation, was small, it was not very safe here in Area Y..
In fact, I could feel the mutants and the poor robbers watching from the garbage piles and huts that were no bigger than garbage piles scattered around..
Joe talked to Sam a few times and said,.
"First of all, come once at six in the evening. If I don't show up then, I'll come back later at night around 10 o'clock. If you move it at night, I'll pay extra..”
Old Man Noah nodded immediately. Area X is also part of Landa, so as long as the conditions are met, anything is possible..
After confirming that Old Man Noah had safely left for Area X across the street, Joe, Sam, and Owen visited a restaurant inside Area Y..
I think it's time to get used to it, but I just can't get used to it..
There's a crazy person opening a restaurant in Y, which is practically a lawless place. But what was scarier was that business was doing better than expected..
“hey.… . Look over there. There's also a gun shop owner in Area Y, a zombie weapons dealer, and a mutant trainer.?
Sam said in a whisper. All blue-chip clients who do business with crime firms.
These were people who trained and modified homemade firearms, zombies, and even living mutants, and sold them not only in Landa but also outside of Landa..
”What's going on here??“
A restaurant employee with an X-shaped scar on his face stood in front of Joe and said,.
Although he was wearing a luxurious restaurant uniform, it didn't look out of place at all. Rather, it even gave off a deformed atmosphere..
”I came with the scout gun the boss gave me last time.?"
”There is that too. I also came to pay the down payment..“
Joe held up a fat bag of money..
It wasn't necessary, but you had to pay money to join the fighter crew and learn black magic. Or do your job well, or increase your reputation and raise the name value of your fighter crew..
face scar said.
”Give me the money and report your duties to me. I'll tell the boss.“
”Well, that's bullshit. Since when did you sit on top of my head??"
Joe and Face Scar exchanged words with nerves raised..
As expected, the fighter crew was relatively horizontal, and the members were so temperamental that they had no choice but to clash with each other if they thought their skills were similar..
Even the boss didn't pay much attention to this... .. Sometimes I even encouraged it..
Anyway, Joe and Face Scar looked at each other in silence, and then Face Scar sighed and opened his mouth again..
”I think there's a misunderstanding, but it's because my boss is dating someone right now. Don't let anyone in."
Joe frowned because this was his first time experiencing something like this. When I saw the way he said it, it wasn't a lie..
”Who do you want to meet??“
”Well, out of the corner of my eye, I just saw it was a foreigner..“
”foreigner?“
"Yes, foreigner. I thought they were Gallos..“
***
Today again, as usual, Oliver went home from work at the magic tower..
To be honest, there was nothing special about leaving work..
All you have to do is stay in your seat, read a book, and leave when the time comes. There was no harassment as Kevin mentioned..
When I thought about using the Magic Tower-Elemental School library and getting paid, I even felt sorry..
The only time I felt like I had done any work was cleaning the staff room on my first day of work or explaining a girl's class schedule..
As for the explanation, I haven't received any detailed information yet, so all I could say was that I would ask the professor..
FYI, I talked to Kevin about it, but he only seemed apathetic..
”Well, you must have a reason..“
Oliver spoke to himself, completely pushing the events that occurred at the Magic Tower from the corner of his head..
It was my first job in Yangji, and I was grateful for letting me into the Magic Tower, so I planned to work hard, but when it came to priorities, Oliver's own job was the most important..
Since he had done all his work anyway, Oliver decided to focus on his work instead of wasting time with questions that had no answer..
For example, the devil's book.
Oliver had read the book in his spare time, enduring the pain in his eyes and head, and had already read it thoroughly..
The structure of the book is largely divided into three parts..
An overview section containing a brief description of the devil..
The main text explaining the devils in detail (yes, one or two pages at most).)
And it was the last part where unknown words were written without lines or specifications..
It was better than not reading at all, but honestly, there wasn't much to learn from this book..
There are 72 demon lords, except for the demon lord and the old man on the horse..
Then it suddenly occurred to me that just as Merlin found hidden secrets in Aedrey's journal, there might also be secrets hidden in this book..
So, Oliver tried giving emotions or magical power to things he purchased from the black market..
Although there was no change.
After work, I was thinking that there was no secret device in this book, but then a question occurred to me and I decided to test it out now..
Oliver sat in the basement and focused his eyes..
A warlock's vision that weakens normal vision and penetrates emotions..
nothing happened.
But Oliver did not give up and instead focused his eyes even more, flipping through the book..
My eyes hurt and I had a headache. but didn't give up.
It may be a futile effort, but I wanted to give up after trying as hard as I could..
fluttering. fluttering. fluttering.
Oliver stared at the book in front of him, his vision suddenly changed to darkness where he could not feel anything except his emotions..
It's been a while since I've tried to focus on my eyes like this, so it felt quite awkward and difficult..
Every time I turned the book, the burden increased..
For some reason, I felt even more tired when I saw it through the black magic vision..
Throbbing. When Oliver's eyes began to hurt as if being pricked by a small needle, he felt something small change. That small change..….
-beep! beep! beep! beep!
The sound of a communication device piercing my ears..
Oliver unconsciously focused his eyes and looked at Forest's dedicated communication device..
Something felt hazy and loose..
”..…Forrest? ....Yes, it is me. Now? ..… No, no. It's busy, but it's okay now. … .yes? yes. All right. Well then, I'll see you soon. yes."
