Genius Warlock - Episode 225
“Yes, nice to meet you. I came here after hearing that they would give me money..”
A man suddenly appeared and bowed like an actor in a play..
Each and every gesture was polite yet ostentatious, as if acting out a play..
Oliver, who had never seen this type of person before, hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to react, but just then Forrest stepped forward..
"Dave. Sorry to interrupt, but who else is Mr. Smith??”
“ah… . This is the person who made the glutton bag that I use..”
"If it's the glutton bag you're using, it's a glutton bag the size of a person.?”
"Yes, and that's the teacher. I sent you a letter saying I wanted to meet you, and it looks like you came here..”
Oliver stretched out his hand and pointed at Smith's mentor. The teacher once again bowed exaggeratedly, like an actor on stage. He seemed to have a very bright personality..
Forrest, who had a vague understanding of the situation, thought for a moment, gathered his clothes, returned to Broker Forrest, and politely greeted Smith's teacher..
"hello? Mr. Smith's teacher... .. My name is Forrest and I work as a broker on 27th Street in District T. Nice to meet you here.."
“Nice to meet you too. And I know who you are. Aren't you Mr. Forrest, who hit the jackpot this time and instantly became a celebrity in Landa? It's really amazing and I'm jealous that you hit the jackpot all the time. After all, a man's life is like wine... . But be careful. 'Cause people try to open old wine.”
Smith's teacher spoke at length, mixing politeness and rudeness, and at the same time made loud gestures like an actor..
His speech and gestures make you feel caught up in his pace even if you lose your mind even a little..
Fortunately, Forrest wasn't too much of a kid to get caught up in something like that, and Oliver... .. It was Oliver..
"Thank you for praising me and worrying about me when we first met... .. If you don’t mind, may I ask your name? It's too long to call so-and-so master..”
"Oh my. Look at my courtesy... . My name is Ewan Bremner. He is an excellent craftsman who creates all kinds of miraculous items, and at the same time, he is a genius negotiator who exchanges beans for cows. He is a great debtor and a great wanderer who has been to the desert lands across the sea, to the East where dragons fly, and even to the crazy world where rats shoot guns and the sky where giants live..”
Forrest was unable to manage his expression for a moment as the words were full of lies and were full of bragging. And it was the same with Oliver..
However, Oliver had a different reason. There were some lies, but most of what Lee Wan said was sincere..
“He is also the lover of countless women, a preacher of love, and an incredibly popular dandy..”
"Oh, that's a lie.”
Oliver said without realizing it. The air froze, and Lee Wan’s expression crumpled for a moment..
"wow… .. I tried my best to help, but it hit me right in the solar plexus. They say that the place called Landa is like Sodom and Gomorrah without any mothers and fathers. I guess it's true..”
Oliver belatedly acknowledged his mistake and apologized. Then he cleared his mind..
I had a lot of questions and a lot to consider, but the first thing I had to do right now was say thank you..
"I apologize once again. And thank you for your help. I received great help from Lee Wan..”
“Ho... . Still, it's not that I'm not very polite. Well, there was a righteous man named Lot in Sodom, so there must be at least one decent person in this sin-stained city..”
Oliver, who had been listening quietly, recalled the scriptures and asked Forrest:.
“If Lot was in Sodom, he would definitely take his two daughters with him.-”
“-That's not an important issue. Don't go into detail.”
Oliver remained silent as Forrest said, and Ewan continued to ramble on and on..
Once activated, his tongue continued to move, dizzying the ears, and the hand gestures dazzled the eyes. It was very hectic..
But that too for a while.
As I calmly collected my mind and waited, Lee Wan's loud tirade gradually died down, and his frantic hand gestures soon stopped..
Without missing the timing, Forrest spoke politely..
"Mr. Lee Wan. I also want to say thank you for your help..”
"But I guess I have a question. It's natural that people in this city are suspicious of each other, even between parents and children... . If you have any questions, please tell me.”
A relaxation that is pleasant but puts pressure on the other person. But Forrest was not intimidated either..
“From listening to your conversation, it seems like you have just come to Landa from somewhere else. How did you find us??”
Forrest glowed with subtle suspicion..
Actually it wasn't strange.
It was a very good story that Lee Wan showed up at the right time to help after signing a formal contract with the Crime Firm and being attacked by the anti-development committee..
We even just confirmed that he is somewhat acquainted with the anti-development committee..
As a broker, I couldn't help but ask..
At Forest's request, Lee Wan expressed his joyful and satisfied feelings..
“hmm… .. It’s not a question you can’t ask from your perspective. Well, good. Let me answer you. Instead, there is one condition. It's a very important condition.”
"What are you??”
“If you are satisfied with my answer, please take me to a place where there is delicious wine and a beautiful girl. I don't like doing this on the black road with black men..”
Forrest looked at Oliver, Ewan, Al, and the surrounding scenery and nodded..
"ah..… . I agree. Well then, I will guide you to a place where the gentlemen of Landa can have a good conversation..”
match-! match-!
Lee Wan clapped his hands vigorously and showed genuine joy..
“I really like it.”
***
After some time, three cars arrived on the road that had been raided by the anti-development committee..
They were all summoned by companies that deal with brokers; one was a limousine, one was a regular taxi, and one was a huge truck..
Forrest gave each person who drove the car a sizeable tip and politely told them what to do..
First, in the case of a regular taxi, Al, who had experienced a lot today, was sent to his lodgings, and the truck driver used an auxiliary mechanism to collect Forrest's broken vintage vehicle..
"I never thought my baby would go like this. That's really sad... .. Now, would you like to ride??”
Forrest asked, opening the back seat of the limo..
Ewan shrugged his shoulders and got into the car with a big smile, followed by Oliver and finally Forrest..
The inside of the car was the most luxurious car Oliver had ever seen, and surprisingly, there was a liquor bottle and glasses on a small table..
What was even more surprising was that Lee Wan drank alcohol naturally as if he had been in this type of vehicle a few times, and as if that wasn't enough, he took out a cigar from the cigar box and smoked it naturally..
he asked, exhaling thick cigarette smoke..
"It's a good smoke. You can tell the level through these details. I'm sure you're dealing with a good place..”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“Can I ask where you are going??”
“Go to District O, Street No. 66.”
"Ah, one of Landa’s joys. I used to stop by often. Now it's called the street of joy?”
"You know very well..”
“I actually know a lot. But are there any good stores these days??”
"Yes, it's a store run by an acquaintance, and it's a pretty good store. It's expensive, but it's good for conversation..”
Angel's house... . It seemed like the store Forrest was talking about was Angel's House..
He could confirm by asking, but Oliver had more questions than that, so he postponed the question and looked at Iwan..
"Mr. Lee Wan. If you don't mind, could you show it to me again??”
"what.… ? ah!”
Ewan rummaged through his cloak as if he remembered something..
“Not this… Not this either... .. especially not this one.”
Clap, clap, clap. Lee Wan took out all kinds of objects that gave off strange energy, such as a stuffed nose, a stuffed doll, and a pink potion, and eventually made a noise..
"Ah, I found it here.”
It was a hand. Hands as dry as jerky.
The color was dark, and the fingers were as dry as tree branches and looked like they would break at the slightest touch..
There were eerie amulets hanging from his wrists, and his palms were full of black magic circles carved with swords. The most impressive thing was that there was a human eye embedded in the back of the hand..
"Ah, there you are. milestone.”
milestone. Lee Wan called the black magic item he took out a milestone..
It points to the location of the person, object, or place the owner wants..
It was thanks to this item that I was able to find Oliver..
It was an amazing item when you just heard it, but it didn't really seem that way.
"Even if I look at it again, it’s a sad complex. The function is awesome, but it's useless if it's too far away, and that doesn't mean it works well. I only work when I feel like it. However, there are times when it works well, like this time, so it is difficult to throw it away..”
Lee Wan said that black magic items have their own will, just like living creatures. And it is said that the better the function, the stronger the temperament becomes..
Oliver agreed. A representative example is the glutton bag..
As the size increased, performance improved, but at the same time, self-consciousness became stronger and resistance increased. So much so that it kills and devours its owner..
'I don't know, but.’
"But, it's a bit surprising.”
Ewan immediately looked at Oliver and said. It was so unexpected that Oliver asked.
“Why are you doing this? Lee Wan.”
“No, it's different from what I heard from Smith. They say you're the type of person who asks questions when you have questions, but you didn't ask how I was acquainted with the anti-development committee or why they took the body you worked so hard to capture and returned it to me. Aren’t you curious why? I heard that they are dealing with corpse dolls, but then the corpse is not just a corpse..”
That was correct. For Oliver at the moment, the corpse was a fairly important trophy. The stronger and more precious the corpse, the more.
"yes, that's right.”
"But why don't you ask? Are you scared because I'm so strong??”
"no.”
"Fuck, are you saying I’m easy? know who i am!”
"No, no. I think Lee Wan is not easy and is a great person. Because I taught Mr. Smith… .. I'm just waiting calmly because I have a lot to ask. Actually, I have a lot of questions for Lee Wan. Originally, I only wanted to ask about recently captured black magic items, but suddenly there were a lot of them..”
What Oliver said was true. He had only intended to ask about the black magic item made from meat captured from the cook's men, but there was much more he wanted to ask Iwan now than that..
I wanted to ask about the Anti-Development Committee, how you are acquainted with the Anti-Development Committee, and also about the story that Puppet said about the clock moving..
For some reason, I felt like I knew the man in front of me to some extent..
"I have a lot of questions, but that's not a bad thing. However, opening my mouth is quite expensive, can you afford it? The reason I came here was because I heard there was a tiger to eat..”
That bully is none other than Oliver.
Honestly, Oliver didn't care. The horse that was called a hogu. Oliver's interest was in solving his curiosity..
Just as Oliver opened his mouth to reply, Forrest intervened..
"We'll do our best to accommodate you, so don't worry too much. Just in time, the store arrived too..”
Forrest pointed to the car window. The window reflected an old-fashioned rectangular building with a red roof..
It was the angel's house..
