Genius Warlock-Episode 270

Contrary to expectations, Magic Tower's student education did not produce such results..

Normally, Oliver would have used his teaching method to immediately produce tangible results and use this to boost the motivation of other students, but he could not do so because Kevin did not allow it..

Of course, that doesn't mean I blame Kevin..

Through a conversation with Kevin, I realized that it was a slightly unusual technology..

Still, it was unfortunate. When I see students who spend time without motivation or students who get lost in the same section despite trying hard..

“I guess it's fortunate that this side is showing results.?”

Oliver muttered as he finished tightening the screws on the ladder..

“Hey, do you look okay??”

"......uh......."

Oliver turned around and asked a question, and the First inside the corpse doll Bathory answered in a slurred voice..

At first, First couldn't adapt to the corpse doll-Bathory, making sounds closer to crying than talking, and couldn't control his body properly.,

I was adapting to some extent through continued training and by consuming enormous amounts of emotion, vitality, and magic power..

As proof, we succeeded in building the basic equipment for the blood elixir using the knowledge of the corpse doll-Bathory..

‘……Is it knowledge? Is it a memory??’

Oliver climbed down from the ladder, set aside his tool belt, and wrote down the question..

In the logbook about Child and the corpse doll..

[……It is not yet known whether it is knowledge or memory. Because it has not been specifically confirmed. However, one thing is certain: if Child enters a corpse doll, he can obtain not only the simple techniques of the corpse doll, but also some information or knowledge related to it. (It is not yet possible to confirm the extent of information and knowledge. More observation is needed..)]

Creep, crease, crease… … . Oliver, who had written a journal entry in neat and stylish handwriting, paused his pen for a moment and looked back at First, who was examining the blood elixir production equipment..

Although his behavior still had some awkward moments, it was definitely more natural than before, and more than anything, his intelligence was evident..

‘There was a certain level of intelligence before that, but in the case of First, the growth rate was greater... … . I fed them a lot, but was that all??’

Oliver suspected another hypothesis about Child's growth..

Emotions, vitality, magical power, etc. I thought that feeding a lot of food and maintaining the organism for a long time would increase its intelligence, but there seemed to be another factor..

For example, the better the quality of the corpse doll used by the child, the more the child grows..

‘It's not an entirely impossible story..’

Oliver was somewhat certain. There was also a hypothesis that Child learned the skills of the corpse doll..

Rather, it was natural enough..

Oliver quickly wrote down this fact in Child's observation journal..

I can't confirm it right now, but Child, especially First, is starting to speak naturally little by little, so I didn't know if I would be able to find out through conversation later..

“……Of course, it's fun.”

muttered Oliver..

It was a lot of fun to know things I was curious about, learn new things, and work..

In particular, preparing the blood elixir production equipment was quite difficult, but it was a unique pleasure..

‘It might attract attention, so I went to various black markets to order while hiding my identity, and had a hard time installing it myself..’

In particular, Oliver received an unexpected shock at the end..

Having to buy production equipment parts and assemble them yourself... … . When I thought about it, it was obvious, but I foolishly realized too late that I had to do it myself..

‘Thanks to this, it was hectic as I had to rush through books and ask questions here and there about how to use tools, but it worked out well in the end. Now that I can install the production equipment myself,…...."

“……Have you looked at everything??”

Oliver finished his thoughts and asked First again..

First, who had been examining every inch of the facility from head to toe, turned his head and answered..

“Do not have… … thing… … same……."

First said, suppressing his cries. I didn't know why, but I felt like I was watching Oliver's attention..

"Um... first? You can talk comfortably instead of holding back your tears. I think you're watching me, but you don't have to.."

Oliver said just in case..

It didn't mean anything.

I only said that because I thought First and the other Childs were paying attention to Oliver..

I saw some students studying at Map Tower while paying attention to the opinions of professors and sponsors, and I personally felt that way..

Since ancient times, isn't it better to study, research, or practice with a comfortable mind even if you don't see results right away??

“Ugh… … uh… … I get it… … Okay.”

“Yes, please. I want to see you do things comfortably and independently without worrying about what I think. I think that would be more fun."

Childe looked at Oliver for a moment and then nodded..

“okay… … Okay.”

“Yes, thank you… … . Please do the same..”

Oliver turned his head back to look at the other Child in the flask test tube on the table..

Among the four flask test tubes, the first position was empty, and the second, third, and fourth positions contained seconds, thirds, and falls, respectively..

They looked like dark black bundles and watched the conversation between Oliver and First and nodded..

“Thank you. everyone… … . first. Now, if it's okay, can we start production right away? There's still time, but I think it's better to hurry.."

Oliver asked, calculating the extra blood elixir Edith had mentioned..

They said there were still some left, but it would be better to hurry if possible..

First nodded at Oliver's words and extended his hand to the corpse doll-female warlocks 1, 2, and 3 in the far corner..

“Okay……!”

Then, he extracted emotions from the tank inside his body and moved female warlocks 1, 2, and 3..

Female warlocks flinching around the iron cap placed on the severed neck section..

It was a little awkward at first, but soon it moved naturally as practiced..

Female Warlocks 1, 2, and 3 moved unsteadily and brought materials such as large quantities of blood packs and herbal powder here under the First's control..

Tuk. Tuk. Tuk… … . Female warlocks carefully placing items in designated locations.

Oliver saw this and praised First..

“Excellent. I have it under control now..”

"……Kyahaha.”

First made a sound with happy emotions shining through. As she became more emotionally charged, her cries became more powerful..

Oliver spoke again.

“We'll only use the invoice doll up to this point, and from now on we'll do it ourselves. Because making medicine is more important now.."

“uh… … Well, first……."

First answered and opened a blood pack..

It was purchased from a black market and was the blood of a young man..

First said that the younger and healthier the blood, the higher the quality of the product..

'And it was said that the effect would be maximized if the medicine was manufactured according to gender..’

Oliver observed the work, checking the blood elixir recipe written down from the First's words..

First opened the blood pack and placed the contents into the filter..

The blood slowly flowed through the long tube of the filter and collected in a beaker..

They said it was a process to release the blood that had accumulated in the blood pack, but there was nothing to do at this time..

At best, just waiting?

It seemed okay to do something else at this point, but Oliver watched the blood dripping with the First to learn as much as possible at once..

Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock......

After waiting for a while, all the blood that entered the filter came out, and First began the next task..

By emptying the blood once again into an elongated tube similar to a filter, it was similar in appearance to the previous process, but the purpose was different..

While the previous one was to gently release the blood, this one was a mixing task..

The purified blood swirled up the pipe and fell to the side, mixing with the emotions that were leaking out of the mixing pipe..

‘Emotions are those with a tendency to absorb, such as greed and craving..’

Oliver checked each and every ingredient in the recipe..

The blood mixed with emotions came out along a narrow pipe, and the First used blood magic to control the blood. As it was, blood and emotions were mixed once again..

The blood and emotions floating in the air and mixing as one gradually grew in size..

However, this was not the end.

"Ugh......."

The First concentrated and played with his hands, extracting life force and adding it to the mixture of blood and emotion..

The emotions in the blood consumed the vitality, and the blood became even redder and thicker..

I now understand why the blood elixir is so precious..

At first, I thought it was because only Bathory could be produced, but apart from that, a lot of high-quality labor was needed..

To put it to the extreme, even if you knew how to make it, you couldn't even complete the preparation process if you couldn't handle the blood, emotions, and vitality as delicately as Bathory. Even the preparation process..

“Kyahahahaha......"

First called Oliver in a crying voice. He went in front of a tank, carrying a mixture of emotion and vitality..

From now on, the real work began..

First opened the lid of the cylindrical tank, poured blood into it, and then took the pouches purchased at the black market one by one and emptied them inside..

‘Oliver ordered various herbs from the black market, dried placenta powder, fresh milk, stamina potion and magic potion, 5 liters of fresh blood, and a large amount of vitality. Oliver checked the ingredients that First added one by one to make sure nothing was left out or added..

Tungㅡ

tank lid closed.

First turned the lid to completely seal it, then went to the control panel and pressed the button to start the tank..

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… The sound of the machine echoed and the contents inside started to slowly boil..

“like this… … Boil… … this much.”

First spread out his left hand and raised his middle finger with his right hand..

“……six hours?”

“uh!”

First nodded..

After hearing the answer, Oliver looked back at the recipe and First's work flow and thought..

‘At first glance, it looks easy thanks to the power of machines, but all the important parts are done by hand..’

Oliver recalled and practiced First's work several times, while First waited in front of the tank and looked at the product..

At approximately six hours, First slightly opened the faucet to drain the contents of the tank, inspected the state of the mixture, and then connected the pipe to the tank and transferred it to the pressing tank..

The thickened dark red liquid moved through a pipe and entered an elongated conical tank, where it was pressed and heated again..

Chung-! Chung-! Chung-! Wow-!

After boiling it again for a while, half a cup of dark red liquid came out. First showed this to Oliver..

Oliver looked at his notebook and then asked a question..

“Just like this, we use our emotions to light a fire and boil down this liquid.?”

“uh……."

Oliver nodded. This process was the most important.

Although they were all important, the quality of the product varied greatly at the final boiling stage..

Cheolpuk-!

The First put the lump-like sticky mixture of blood on a Petri dish and heated it up, creating a fire with feelings of greed and desire..

The liquid, which was extremely sticky and seemed like it would no longer boil, surprisingly began to boil again..

The mixture of blood, boiling like lava, gradually hardened as even the little moisture evaporated, and in response to the emotion of greed, it took on a pill-like shape..

The pill is so dark that it looks black rather than red..

First carefully picked up the finished pill with tweezers and held it out to Oliver..

Oliver looked at his watch as he examined the pill containing countless emotions, magic power, and life force..

Apparently, it started during the day, but it was already evening and night..

I spent half the day on just one pill. Cost was an expense, but time and labor were not usually required..

I think it is not easy to mass produce due to the nature of production..

“First, let’s look for improvements.?”

Oliver said, looking over the recipe again..

The process that has the greatest impact on productivity is the initial blood preparation process. To increase productivity, this part had to be addressed first..

‘Rather than a problem with the process, the problem is with the materials. You can't mix the blood of several people, you have to use only one person's blood..’

If this problem was solved, it would be easy to mass-produce the blood elixir..

"However, it is not easy to obtain a large amount of blood from one person. Fresh ingredients are essential.……."

Of course, there was no way. All you have to do is kill a person and squeeze out all the blood..

“But that's a bit like that?”

Oliver thought about it and wondered if there was any other way..

There was also a way to expand the production line by increasing the number of workers, but this was also not easy, so we decided to put it on hold..

Increasing the production line required a large space, a lot of equipment, and high-quality personnel, so more capital, time, and bodies were needed..

While I was wondering what to do, I heard a familiar communication sound: beep, beep, beep..

It was Forrest's personal communication device..

“Forrest?”

[Yes, count me. What are you doing??]

“I was doing some personal business. By the way, what's going on??”

Oliver asked curiously..

After the last redevelopment protection mission, I asked for your understanding that I would not be able to come out for a while because I was busy with work..

Usually in these cases, Forrest waited leisurely without urging Oliver until he showed up first. Unless something happened.

“Is there anything wrong??”

[hmm… … . Not yet.]

A puzzling answer. Oliver asked again..

“Are you saying something could happen??”

[That’s right… … . I'm sorry, but can you please come out first??]
