Genius Warlock-Episode 227

Terrrrrrr! Terrrrrrr! A bunch of them.

Oliver turned off his alarm clock as usual..

five o'clock in the morning.

Although it was still time to lie down in bed, Oliver got up without hesitating even for a second..

Then I got off the bed, stretched out, and did some stretching..

Crack. Crack. Ttuduk. Tduduk.

My stiff joints and muscles softened and my mind became clearer..

widely! Tiik 1

Oliver reflexively turned on the radio next to the bed, and at the same time gathered the magical energy stored in his body, gathered it into his fingertips, and snapped his fingers..

Magical power flew like a spark and the pre-installed communication magic 'speaker' was activated..

Regular news was broadcast on the radio, and the sound of the radio rang out through the 'speakers' at an appropriate volume throughout the house..

[hello. Dear listeners, no see. We express our respect to the citizens of Landa who faithfully go to work even in the early hours, and we will inform you of today's news..]

Same comment as usual.

Oliver did some light exercise while listening to the radio, went to the bathroom, took a shower, and then went down to the kitchen on the first floor to prepare food..

The menu included a butter-grilled steak, thick sausage, black pudding, three eggs, three slices of bread, baked beans, fresh salad, apple, fresh orange juice, and coffee..

The portion was quite large, and it was the result of following Joe and Dinklage's advice to eat well if you want to increase your physical strength..

Well, the kitchen made it easier to prepare food, which also helped..

At first, I thought the kitchen was the most unnecessary space in this house, but I was using it better than I thought..

Oliver took off his apron and began eating at the table..

It was very delicious.

Maybe it's because I followed the instructions in the cookbook, but it wasn't as good as what was sold at the store..

A truly enjoyable and relaxing time. It was like heaven..

Especially when compared to the mining days..

That's why Oliver enjoyed this moment, but not as much as today..

The reason was none other than Iwan Bremner's story I heard two days ago. Smith's teacher.

Oliver unconsciously recalled the conversation at that time..

‘oh… … . Where did you hear that story??’

Oliver remembered him. He showed a keen interest..

‘I heard it by chance.’

‘Wow, I must have heard it by chance.!’

A horse with bones. But he didn't dig any further. Rather, he answered kindly..

‘The clock is moving... . It's an old eschatology. No, is it closer to an old story than that? fairytale?’

I don't know, but Oliver was intrigued. He asked Forrest if he knew anything, and he told him that there were more such stories than he thought. It's similar to an urban legend..

Lee Wan continued to explain..

‘Hmm, where should I start talking about this? Let me ask you a question first for understanding. Have you ever heard that if you do something bad you will go to hell or be punished by heaven??’

Oliver nodded. If that's the case, I heard it during my time at the orphanage..

‘Well, here's the question. What would it be like if all humans on earth were sinners? From newborn babies to elderly people on the verge of death, women and men alike..’

It was quite an interesting question. Everyone on earth is a sinner.

‘In that case, will they be punished one by one? No, it's inefficient. So, what should I do??’

Lee Wan soon forgot about the woman sitting next to him and focused on the story. So did Oliver..

‘hmm… .. Will it rain fire and brimstone like Sodom??’

‘Exactly, that's it. Or cause another great flood. Anyway, the fact that the clock is moving means that the world is full of evil and God's patience has reached its limit. The countdown to some kind of apocalypse has begun..’

‘Why didn't they destroy it right away??’

‘well? As I said, it's such an old story that I don't know the details. Isn’t this some kind of penitence time? I want you to repent even now?’

I really didn't know.

‘There was another story, but I don't really remember it. Some said he was some kind of savior, and some said he was the son of an angel, the son of a devil, or a prince..’

Every word uttered felt like an important puzzle to Oliver and at the same time aroused his curiosity..

At the same time, questions arose, such as whether there are angels and whether devils have children..

I asked if there were any more details, but Lee Wan was speechless at that time and cut off the story. It's such an old story that I don't remember much..

‘Plus, like any other story, it was passed down only through word of mouth, so I don't know the complete story. What I heard may have been misrepresented. I don't know the perfect original.’

Oliver asked if anyone knew the original.

‘hmm… ' The person who predicted the apocalypse would know the original text. They said she was some kind of princess, but I think they said she was a warlock. Or was it both??’

It was a combination I had never heard of since I was a princess warlock..

‘Or, those who heard the prophecy directly may remember it. It might be hundreds of years ago, but.’

It was a meaningless story since no one from hundreds of years ago would have been alive, but Oliver immediately realized that it was a foolish idea..

Wasn’t it Puppet who told this story in the first place? There was a high possibility that the puppet knew the original. Or, a human meat chef. It is said that he also lived for hundreds of years..

At that time, Lee Wan added a word as if he had remembered it too late..

‘Oh, maybe the archives know too..’

‘Archive.?’

‘Oh, don't you know? It is a word that refers to a great wizard who has inherited over a thousand years of knowledge and power. Since he is a being who has received countless knowledge over a long period of time, he might even know about cheap apocalypse theories... .. Oh, of course, it is a being that cannot meet humans like us. The archive is something that even the kings of a nation show respect for..’

Lee Wan said this and laughed. Then I suddenly asked Oliver why he was curious about that..

Oliver was asked a question-

-Beep-beep-beep

Forest's dedicated communication device next to the table rang, and Oliver came out of the sea of ​​memories and came to his senses..

Oliver had already cleaned his plate, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and received the communication device..

-sweet

"Yes, Forrest..”

[Yes, let's fly. I think you're bothering me too early..]

"no. Didn't I ask for this at this time??”

That was true. Since he was working at Magic Tower, Oliver made an excuse and said that he could only talk on the phone early in the morning, evening, or at night during breaks..

Rather, it was Forest who responded..

[The reason I'm contacting you is to tell you about the attack..]

The attack refers to the attack on the anti-development committee two days ago..

Although Forest had caused a commotion in Area Y, Forest felt suspicious of their actions of coming out and retaliating, so he reported the matter to the brokers' union and the crime firm and began his own investigation..

"By any chance, have you found out anything??”

[I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I don't have anything to tell you right now..]

"You're not disappointed, and you don't have to be sorry..”

Oliver responded immediately to Forrest's words. It wasn't just comfort, it was sincere..

In fact, even Oliver, who had only heard about it through hearsay, knew how difficult it was to investigate the abandoned YZ area in Landa and the unidentified organization that resided there, the Anti-Development Committee..

Even the city was satisfied with giving up and isolating it. Even if we were attacked, it didn't make sense to look for something right away..

[Thank you for your understanding. However, I just wanted to let you know that I will continue to investigate because it is work. The broker union and crime firm are also cooperating, so we should be able to salvage something..]

“hmm… Are you planning on using Heimdall??”

Heimdall, a magical hacker organization that frequently appears in the backworld of Landa..

Although the cost was high, they provided the client with the information he wanted by spying on the entire Landa through the World Tree..

[Unfortunately, I cannot borrow Heimdall's power. The power of the World Tree is weak in the YZ area. Zone Y is barely visible, but Zone Z is literally pitch black..]

“then?”

[I'm thinking of using a more classic method. Surprisingly, even the YZ area, where all sorts of strange rumors are circulating, needs money. They're trying to bribe people there to find people who were connected to the anti-development committee. If you compare it with the time it was attacked, you might be able to narrow it down..]

"Oh I see… ..Why didn’t you use that method a long time ago??”

[Because the amount is always an issue.]

"ah….”

[Anyway, I contacted you to tell you this. If I learn anything else, I'll let you know..]

"Thank you for your consideration... . Could I ask how Lee Wan is doing??”

After breaking up with Iwan, Forrest volunteered to watch over Ewan, entertain him, and manage him in Oliver's stead..

Oliver, who still had something he wanted to ask Ewan, did not refuse..

[I'm still staying at the angel's house. Miss Elizabeth will contact you when you try to leave, so don't worry, she said..]

"thank you.”

[Nope. I'm also interested in him personally. When you look at the context, he is not an ordinary person either. In other words, you're doing this because you need me, so there's no need to be grateful..]

"Well, I'm thankful anyway..”

Oliver said, sipping his cold coffee..

[Well, thank you... .. I guess I’ll just hang up..]

"Yes, I understand. Have a hard time. Forrest.”

Oliver greeted him politely and was about to turn off the communication device when Forrest suddenly said something on the communication device..

[dave?]

"yes? Forrest.”

[that..… . Thank you.]

"What do you mean??”

[The thing that helped me when I talked to Lee Wan... . Thank you.]

Hesitantly, at the awkward expression of emotion that was not typical of him, Oliver searched for memories and then remembered them..

I thought it was about the question of how Cant and Forrest broke up..

Ewan asked questions openly, and Oliver took Forrest's side instead of helping Ewan ask questions..

"no… . It's a personal matter, and I think you don't want to talk about it. It's not like you're going to thank me.”

[Even so, I am thankful because I am thankful..]

Forrest imitated what Oliver said earlier. At that moment, Oliver felt a small joy that he couldn't describe in detail..

[..…But, weren’t you curious??]

"No, I'm just curious. However, as I said before, I think it's better to talk about such things when you want to..”

Forrest was silent for a moment and then spoke again..

[..…Thank you again for your consideration. It must have been unbearable. Especially when it comes to you. … I promise you one thing.]

“Promise?’’

[Yes, when I am ready to talk, I will talk to you first. About the relationship between me and Cant, and why we broke up.]

A solemn voice. Oliver was satisfied and answered yes, and then he actually completed the communication..

It was still morning, but I was already satisfied with the day..

After finishing his coffee, Oliver cleaned up the table, finished washing the dishes, and then immediately got ready for work..

I put on Zenon Bright's leather mask, got dressed, and lightly sprayed some perfume..

The ladies at Angel's House said that a person's mood can change with just one perfume..

Oliver then packed a simple meal and other necessary items into the magic bag he had captured in the past..

Things like tools, memo pads, and notes needed to prepare for class..

"Oh right. This too.”

Oliver took two items with unusual magical powers..

One was a small mechanical device that looked like a pocket watch, and the other was a small medicine cabinet that looked like a ring box..

The mechanical device moved magical power delicately and regularly through a complex magic formula, and the medicine cabinet contained a single pill containing concentrated magical power, as if hundreds of potions had been compressed..

In return for receiving the Devil's Book after successfully completing the Crime Firm's auction house item retrieval mission,,

The mechanical device has the ability to store events from several meters to tens of meters around as audio and video, depending on the practitioner's will and ability.,

And the pill is a type of high-performance potion, and it is said that the vast amount of magical energy contained within can be instantly replenished with a single ingestion..

Not all ready-made items, but items made by renowned workshops or craftsmen for a small number of customers..

I heard that the auction house handles all kinds of items, and it seemed to be true..

Oliver packed the items in his arms instead of in his magic bag and went out of the house..

To go to work at the Magic Tower and to ask Kevin how to contact Merlin, his temporary master..
