Genius Warlock-Episode 284
“You worked hard, leave.”
A man suddenly appeared and said something unintelligible..
Of course, everyone was just dumbfounded and silent..
Poor brothers, raiding gangsters, and even druids.
The man read the awkward atmosphere and suddenly spoke..
"uh? You don't know? Even 20 years ago, it was quite a buzzword. The sadness of time is a man who speaks words that cannot be understood..
Some people thought he was crazy..
The druid was one of them, but the unique sense of the druid, trained to the limit, told me that the man in front of me was no ordinary person..
said the druid, tapping his nose..
“……Are you a warlock??”
“This is why druids are good. The story progresses quickly, right? Hello, how are you? An unknown druid friend, a warlock passing by. Nice to meet you."
An unsuitable attitude in the middle of a fight where people are dying..
The druid felt a strange sense of alienation and anger..
Because it seems like the being in front of you looks down on you..
“How on earth did you show up here??”
“I looked in the direction the finger pointed.”
"Are you kidding me??”
“This is no joke, check this out.”
The man rummaged through his cloak and pulled out a severed hand. Her hands, dry and twisted like her jerky.
It already had a scary appearance, but it felt even worse because it was wearing a bunch of unpleasant amulets..
“It's a milestone. I will teach you with my fingers so that I can meet the person I want to meet... … . The downside is that I only work when I feel like it, but I wasn't lazy today. So here I am.”
“……Who did you come to meet??”
“The finger is that person? The person you are stepping on now. By any chance, is that one a cant??”
Cant, crushed at the feet of the druid, answered..
“exactly… … . know me?”
“Let's call it an acquaintance... … . Hey druid. Since I took one of her arms, how about I just walk away? I think that's enough to vent my anger.?”
"why should i do that?”
“Because the person crushed under your feet may be the person who once saved the world. Have some respect.”
A person who saved the world once. The druid just laughed at the ridiculous nonsense..
“They say there are a lot of crazy people in the sewers... … . Kill it.”
Gangs hired by the Druids turned their guns on the beggars and the cloaked men..
The cloaked man muttered sadly..
“ah… … .I don’t like violence..”
With those words, the man took out a green bean from his pocket, and the green bean sprouted and grew explosively, entangling the gangsters who were pointing guns and crushing them..
“Off… … Wow... … Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-”
-pop!
-pop!
-pop!
-pop!
-pop!
The gang of five burst like a water balloon..
The rest of the gang was shocked and demoralized by that sight..
Because it was such an inhumane and malicious attack..
“Look, violence is not good..”
“bean thief??!!”
The druid seemed to have noticed the cloaked man's presence and took out a bean and created a large bean stalk to counter the man's attack..
Two bean stalks intertwined like arrowroot roots.
Of course, it was normal for the Druid to win. It was originally a druid's skill to create superhuman strength by imbuing beans with the power of nature..
However, for some reason, the warlock's bean stalk gradually overpowered the druid's bean stalk and began to break it..
Dudududu… … bank! Wow... … ! now!!
The druid was taken aback, but with quick thinking, he shook off the bean stalks and immediately closed the distance, attempting to attack the cloaked man directly..
"Wow!!!”
The druid made a sound of cheers and swung the power of nature into his fist..
The fist that shattered mines, wizards, warlocks, and exoskeleton armor..
It was clearly a fist that had destroyed everything, but for some reason, his fist was easily blocked by the hand of the warlock in front of him..
It doesn't look like it would use that much force..
“You don’t have to be too surprised. It's not because of my power, but because of the item..”
I looked closely and saw that the cloaked man was wearing gloves. It's an eerie glove with a mixture of red and pink, like human flesh..
The druid reflexively tried to swing his opposite hand out of physiological disgust, but the cloaked man only subdued the druid by lightly bending his wrist..
A rat as big as a wild dog tried to help the druid, but the cloaked man wouldn't even allow it..
“The moment I move the mouse, I'm going to break this guy's hair, so it's okay.?”
When he grabbed the druid's neck with his opposite hand, another druid who was hiding and controlling the rat stopped the rat..
A stranger who suddenly appeared and subdued two druids. He grabbed his hand and whispered into the ear of the druid he had subdued..
“I didn't come to fight with you... … . how is it? Shall we end here? Or should I go easy??”
The choice wasn't difficult.
The overpowered druid left with the gang, and the cloaked man approached Cant, whose face was pale due to his severed arm..
“Are you okay??”
“Phew… … Phew… … . First of all, thank you for your help. But who are you??”
In a state where it wouldn't be surprising if he lost consciousness right away, Cant expressed his gratitude to the unidentified man and at the same time questioned his identity..
He did this because he was the head of an organization. He couldn't tell whether the being in front of him was dangerous or not..
“It's called relaxation. Iwan Bremner, a brilliant craftsman of all kinds of miracles, a genius negotiator who traded beans for cows, a great debt collector, a great wanderer... … . Excuse me for a moment.”
The cloak situation took out a blood replenishment potion with a needle and a painkiller and put it on Cant, then disinfected the wound and bandaged it. was very good.
“Phew… … after… … . Why did you help me??”
The cloaked man answered as he expertly wrapped the bandage..
“Didn’t I tell you what I said earlier? He might be the person who saved the world once. That's why I saved you once..”

Step by step. Step by step. Step by step.
Oliver visited a beggar village in an abandoned sewer under the land he had previously visited with Jane..
This is my third visit.
When I came here in the past, many beggars gathered together to form a small village, but now everything was destroyed, as if there had been an attack, and corpses were strewn everywhere. Of course, there were beggars alive, but their placentas suffered major and minor injuries..
“Even though I was busy with work, I came quickly..”
When Oliver arrived at the center, Ewan greeted him..
It was like meeting a completely unexpected person in an unexpected place..
"hmm… … . What are you most curious about??”
Lee Wan immediately asked.
“yes?”
“What are you most curious about??”
“……Where are you, Cant??”
Oliver thought for a moment and asked what he thought he was most curious about..
Lee Wan nodded and pointed to the tent that was barely put together..
“There it is.”
Oliver politely thanked Ewan for calling him and guiding him, and then slowly approached the tent..
Step by step. Step by step. Step by step.
When we went inside, we saw Cant sleeping with one of his arms cut off..
"......."
“……How did you get here??”
Cant, who woke up because of a surprise, spoke to Oliver, who was looking at him without saying a word..
After hearing the question, Oliver was silent for a moment and answered mechanically..
“……I received a call from Lee Wan. I heard that Cant was injured..”
Cant, dizzy from painkillers, forced his dull head to move..
“ah… … . That's what it means to know someone who knows someone... … . Do you know this person??”
“Yeah, it just so happened… … . Are you feeling better than that??”
It wasn't a very good question for someone with one arm cut off, but Cant just laughed..
“Other than feeling dizzy from the painkillers, I'm fine... … . More than that, how does he know me??”
“I happened to mention Cant... … . sorry.”
“I'm sorry, I survived thanks to that. Even though he was a crazy person, thanks to him, I was able to save my life and the lives of our members. Thank you. To that person and to you."
Cant be said with sincerity, not pretense..
Usually at times like this I should feel a little better, but strangely this time I didn't feel that way..
This... … . What should I say??
"......Who attacked it??”
“Don't worry about it.”
“I'm just curious. Who attacked it??”
“It's just a small argument that occurred at work. Widespread in Landa. It's none of your concern..”
Cant tried to convince Oliver, but it didn't work out..
Rather, Oliver only guessed using the keywords ‘work’, ‘quarrel’, and ‘landa’..
“……It's Cant. I took a photo of Sheamus' hotel secret meeting..”
“……To be exact, it was done by one of our members. As a hotel employee... … . I've become more perceptive than that. He was immature when he came here before. Hehehe."
“……Is it because of money??”
“In the end, yes... … . Could you come here for a moment??”
Cant asked while his mind was hazy due to injuries and painkillers..
Although he didn't understand why, Oliver got down on one knee and moved closer to Cant, as Cant had requested. He held Oliver's hand tightly with his only wrinkled hand..
“you are my friend?”
“……yes.”
“And you owe me one too, right? I'm talking about taking you to a contaminated area..”
“……yes.”
“So now, as a friend, I ask you to repay your debt..”
“If you are Sheamus, I-”
“-don't take revenge.”
“……yes?”
“I told you not to take revenge. Don't get angry. This is my request as a friend.”
Cant spoke to Oliver with sincerity. He really hoped Oliver wouldn't get revenge or get angry. Mixed with concerns about Oliver..
Oliver suddenly felt confused about everything. I was really confused..
“……Am I angry now??”
“If not, I'm glad.”
“……Why can't I be angry??”
“I just wish you wouldn't do that. I like your unique personality..”
“Is my personality unique??”
“many.”
Cant laughed. Every time he laughed, the injured area shook and it was painful, but he smiled. for oliver.
“How is my personality so unique??”
"Although he seems foolish, he is smart, and although he appears weak, he is stubborn, never gets angry, and sees everything as valuable... … . I like that kind of personality you have. So, please don’t let things like this lead you to revenge, anger, or hatred. Those feelings... … . It's very addictive. I hope you don't do that.”
Oliver blinked..
“but-”
"-I'm not a victim.”
"......."
“Now he is just a perpetrator who has become a victim. I have committed many sins. They kicked out her mother and daughter who had nowhere to go, sold her child to her brothel, extorted her faithful workers, maimed and killed many people... … . Because of money.”
"......."
“I just got it back now. It's not for you to be angry..”
Cant squeezed Oliver's hand. Even though he didn't see the warlock's eyes, he felt his heart..
“I don't intend to tell you what the priest said. Because I don't deserve it. just… … . Don't be angry. Can you do this friend a favor??”
Cant threw away his effortless pretense of being okay and asked solemnly..
As if desperately protecting something precious..
Oliver was silent for a while before answering..
“……I promise.”
“Thank you. thank you so much… … . I'm tired now.”
Cant closed his eyes as if he had completed his purpose..
Oliver looked down at the cant for a while and then came out of the tent..
Lee Wan was standing and waiting..
“Did you have a good conversation??”
“yes……."
“And you probably have a lot of questions for me..”
That was true. I was curious about many things, including how I got here and why I visited this place before. But before that, there was something to do first..
“thank you Lee Wan.”
Oliver bowed politely and thanked Ewan..
Lee Wan gave an expression of surprise..
“The conversation suddenly becomes strange.?”
“Oh, I didn't explain... … . Thank you for helping Cant. Mr. Lee Wan. As I said, I have a lot of questions, but I think it's right to say thank you first. Thank you again.”
“I didn't know I'd be this grateful..”
“He's my friend... … . If it's okay with you, could you please provide some treatment and escort for a moment??”
“It's not impossible, but I'm expensive.?”
“If it's money-”
“-ah. ah. ah. Solving things like this with money is like being a thief..”
“then……?”
“Hmm… … , how about you do me a favor later? You have to return a favor with a favor..”
Oliver nodded in understanding. It didn't seem wrong..
“Yes, I understand.”
“After all, you know something. I give this to you in return for a good deal.”
Iwan took out two tonfas from his cloak. It was a tonpa made from part of a meat hammer that was entrusted to me in the past..
“This is what I asked for last time..”
“Yes, I made it a long time ago, but it was a hassle to give it away. Is there a problem??”
“No, I just thank you for returning it at the right time..”
Oliver was handed a tonfa with his answer..
“What are you going to do now??”
"I have to go to work... … . I came here while working..”
***
After parting ways with Ewan, Oliver went back the way he came..
It was dark, perhaps because it was an abandoned sewer, and the sound of the quarter step hitting the floor made a regular sound every time I walked..
Just right. Just right. Just right. Just right. Just.......
After walking for a while, Oliver stopped still, as if he was possessed by something..
Along with that, dozens of rats big and small came out of the cracks in the sewer..
These are vicious rats that grow in the sewers, eating their own people and corpses..
Squeak! Take a picture! Squeak! Take a picture!
regular crying sound.
However, Oliver must have really been possessed by something, and he didn't pay attention to the swarm of rats and sat down on the protruding part of the sewer and took something out of his pocket..
It was five letters.
“As expected, I can't stand it... … . sorry. Elderly.”
Oliver seemed to have given up and opened a letter to look at the contents inside..
Inside was a letter. It was a letter written in a somewhat clumsy handwriting..
Meanwhile, the large and small rats completely surrounded Oliver, and when they completely surrounded Oliver, two beings with the power of nature quietly appeared..
They were Sheamus' men who attacked Cant..
“I never thought waiting for a while would turn into such luck. Can you bring a gift to the boss? you must be-”
"-Shhh. Please wait a moment.”
Oliver said, putting a finger to his lips. And then I continued reading his letter..
