Genius Warlock-Episode 309

"……Of course you are suspicious..”

Sincerity. Yareli spoke honestly and did not hide his thoughts at all..

“ah… … . Can I ask what you don't like about me??”

“It's not that I don't like it. Rather the opposite.”

Oliver tilted his head. Those words were sincere.

Personally, I don't like it, but it's suspicious. It felt like something was contradictory.

Perhaps because the person who spoke also felt the same way, he hesitated for a moment and then shook his head..

It's like I'm trying to shake off my complicated head.

“of course… … . I didn't like you at first. Because I went on vacation in a magic tower where others wanted to step on the school gate at all costs.."

“ah… … . I'm sorry about that too..”

“I personally don't like people like that. Those young masters who came to the Magic Tower just to build connections or careers. It may help economically, but overall it muddies the waters..”

Oliver agreed to some extent this time too..

At the beginning of the semester, I was called here and there and I saw people like that..

Young masters who made donations to the Magic Tower just to build connections or careers usually only pretended to work and did not even go to work properly..

For them, experience in the Magic Tower and making friends with people here were more important than work..

Of course, there were quite a few Magic Tower students who hung out with them, but I thought they knew roughly what Yareli was talking about..

“hmm… … . First of all, I am not a master..”

said Oliver, recalling one of the many rumors that circulated around him..

Yareli nodded..

“Yes, I know. Because I’ve seen you work a few times. He was definitely not an ordinary master. It seems like you know quite a bit about magic, especially if you were a master, you wouldn't have been able to convince Derek..”

“ah… … . That's what the professor ordered..”

“Even if you command it, making it succeed is another matter... … . You are amazing.”

Yareli spoke sincerely this time, not with pretense..

Unlike the blunt atmosphere, he accepted people well..

“Thank you for the compliment… … . Then why do you look suspicious to me??”

“Do you know how Derek ended up not showing up for class??”

Yareli answers questions with questions instead of answers. Oliver tilted his head..

"well… … . I also only heard rumors.”

“Could you please answer at least a rumor??”

“……I heard that you had a fight with a warlock at some party and lost.."

“Yes, that's right. In front of the city's rich people. That's pretty fatal..”

“yes, i know.”

“So I also stopped him from fighting. It's dangerous... … . Do you know why you fought the warlock??”

Just as I was about to answer that it was because Oliver had put a stop to the new thermal power plant investment by Derek's family, the Red Hill family..

Oliver opened his mouth when he saw Jarelli's emotions shining as if he was hunting prey..

“hmm… … . well. I know there's some kind of argument, but I don't know the details..”

“is it so?”

“yes.”

"……The warlock logically criticized the Red Hill family's business, leading to a fight. That's strange. This too must have been included in the rumor.."

Once again Yareli threw the bait, and Oliver dodged it..

“sorry. I didn't hear that much detail. I heard it in passing..”

“I see..”

“yes… … . Does that have anything to do with my award??”

“……no, there isn't.”

Yareli lied for the first time.

I was curious about the extent of his suspicions and wanted to talk about it, but Oliver realized that the act itself was not very good and decided to change the topic..

There was something I wanted to ask at the same time..

“If you don't mind, may I ask a question??”

“What is it?”

“I don't know why I'm suspicious, but it's suspicious anyway... … . Then, why did you help me? A little while ago. Wouldn’t it have been better not to help??”

Oliver asked, remembering the time when he believed in Yareli and was attacked by Bathory's disciple..

If Yareli hadn't helped, he would have been stabbed by Hatpin and dragged away..

“Regardless of what I find suspicious, I can't pretend not to know someone from the Magic Tower who is in crisis..”

"......A person from the Magic Tower.?”

“yes. Whatever it is, Mr. Zenon is a person who works hard at the Magic Tower..”

These words were also sincere.

Aside from his personal suspicions, Yareli was publicly concerned about Oliver's well-being..

Although it was limited to people who worked hard at the magic tower, he was still one of the most generous people I saw at the magic tower..

Considering that the Magic Tower's standard is not to recognize anyone who is not a student or wizard as a member of the Magic Tower..

It seemed like I made a good decision to come to the Magic Tower as Merlin suggested..

Aside from reading the books, I also came to see the people at the Magic Tower, and there were a lot of interesting people here too..

Oliver was curious and slowly approached Yareli..

It was so natural that I noticed that the distance had narrowed by the time it was right in front of me..

“Why are you doing that??”

“Can I ask one more question? There's a question I've wanted to ask for a long time..”

“Why did you sign up for Professor Kevin’s class??”

Yareli flinched..

It wasn't as direct as Kevin said, but I was a little sensitive to the question, perhaps because of the relationship between my father and Kevin..

“……Why are you asking that??”

They almost said it was because of an anecdote about Kevin and Yareli's father, but Oliver, who had developed a sense of tact, gave a different reason. If you ask that question, I don't think you'll get a proper answer..

“It's none other than Mr. Yareli, and many students came to visit the professor's class... … . Personally, I appreciate it, but I don’t quite understand it. If you're as good as Mr. Yareli, you can take better classes, right??”

“……Professor Kevin's class wasn't bad either..”

“I agree with that. However, this is my first semester taking the professor's class, and I don't have a good reputation, so I can't know in advance what's good.?”

When Oliver bit down on the sensitive core persistently, Yarely reacted slightly but did not show it outwardly..

Oliver was satisfied..

What should I say… … . She usually seemed to get on people's nerves instead of getting what she wanted when she opened her mouth, but not this time..

Perhaps thanks to the years I spent at Landa, I feel like I am now able to speak coherently..

I feel a little proud of myself.

Yareli thought for a moment and then answered. A somewhat sincere answer.

“……Even though I was in a more disadvantageous environment than others, I wanted to join the Magic Tower and take a class from someone who even held the title of Master..”

“oh… … . Is that so?”

“yes… … . I have enough credits. Is it strange??”

"No, not at all. That sounds like a great story… … . Thank you for your answer. Also, thank you for your help. Thanks to you, I was able to stay safe..”

After hearing a satisfactory answer, Oliver was about to part ways..

“Etiquette dictates that I should treat you to a meal later, but I won't have time for that, so if you need any help later, please let me know. If I can help you, I will. Thank you again for your help. Well then, I'm done.-”

“-hey.”

“yes?”

“I saw you as that woman earlier... … . Really, don't you know who it is??”

“hmm… … . I do not know.”

Oliver lied..

***

Huh. Huh. Whoop.

Sister Erzsebet, Bathory's daughter and student, gasped..

Even though my body was half dead, half of my body was alive, I needed to breathe, and thanks to that, the musty smell of the sewer entered my nasal passages without mercy..

It's just that I've gotten used to this kind of life recently. If I had done anything wrong, I would have vomited up all the blood I drank today..

“are you okay?”

“what happened?”

“I couldn't find it?”

“I was injured.?”

My sister's sisters and sisters gathered together like chicks and anxiously looked at my sister's body and asked questions..

Their total number is four. Even including my sister, there were only five..

Originally, there were sisters ten times that number, but I wondered how it ended up like this..

‘……Has it been like this since my mother went missing??’

My sister thought.

Their teacher, Mother Bathory, who gave them a second life..

She came across the sea to Seland to take revenge on the magic tower bastards who defrauded her and to regain her rightful rights..

True to her name, she silently took over an institution in the Magic Tower, and based on that place, she made a grand plan to steal all the resources and knowledge of the Magic Tower..

My sister knew better than anyone else because she informed us regularly..

While Bathory was away, it was none other than himself who took charge of the headquarters..

However, one day, I suddenly lost contact with my mother Bathory..

without any notice

Not only that, even the dozens of sisters who followed Bathory to assist her were all cut off..

Even if you look at it, it's not unusual.

Therefore, my sister sent the sisters to find out the situation, and soon after, I received incredible news..

The story was that Naburangi, an employee of Magic Tower who had been dispatched to investigate, went to Mountain Face, where his mother was, accompanied by a troubleshooter, and defeated her..

There was no nonsense..

Whatever it was, her mother was a strong person who fought against the human meat cook, and the sisters who followed her to assist her were also more powerful than most wizards..

It was definitely true, but my sister couldn't accept it, both logically and emotionally, to be attacked by a group of only two people..

It was so unacceptable that I had no idea that other people would have heard this news..

‘Or was it from then on?……?’

The mother's news spread to other warlock organizations, which led to the challenge of numerous warlock families seeking the blood elixir recipe..

The blood elixir, which restores health and virility to men and the blessing of youth to women, was a coveted item..

It was simply suppressed by a being named Bathory who was fighting against the human flesh cook..

Therefore, when Bathory disappeared, everyone acted according to their desires..

Honestly, it was okay until the beginning..

Because they were raised by their mother, they were also quite capable. Rather, he counterattacked some families and achieved the feat of destroying them and turning them into materials..

An excellent warlock was also a good black magic ingredient..

However, everything went wrong when she appeared..

The meat cook's younger sister..

I had only heard of it through rumors, but it was my first time seeing it in person, but she appeared with the men of her brother, the human meat chef, and attacked them..

It may be a secret form of black magic, but he appeared on the outside as someone in his early twenties, with a face that seemed completely unaware of hardship, and used a magic technique whose depth is difficult to fathom, cornering us who were protesting at his base..

As a result, dozens of sisters and more slaves suffered devastating damage, and my sister had no choice but to take refuge with dozens of sisters, taking only her mother's research materials and journals..

‘Most of them died due to the persistent pursuit of the human meat cook and attacks from other families..’

The older sister thought as she looked at her sisters who only had one finger left..

Perhaps the reason I came here to Landa was because I wanted to avoid chase and attack rather than to find my mother..

Of course, that doesn't mean I don't have a desire to find my mother. However, that hope is gradually fading away..

Isn't that so??

If my mother was safe, she would have appeared in front of us a long time ago..

My mother could not move or, in the worst case scenario, could have died..

‘However, I can't talk... … . If that hope is taken away…….'

The older sister was afraid that she might have lost her mother and was in a dark sense of responsibility and agony over the fact that the fate of the Bathory family was in her hands..

Just when I felt like I was being crushed and suffocating, my sisters and masters spoke to me..

“are you okay? It looks like there's no problem, but where did you get hurt??”

My sister returned to reality and responded to their words..

“no it's okay… … . don't mind.”

“Well then, I'm glad... … . What on earth happened that made you retreat in a hurry? By any chance, were you caught by a powerful wizard or warlock here??”

My sister shook her head..

“I met a bitch who was more talented than I thought, but it was nothing serious. I just retreated because things could get bigger. I'm not happy about things escalating in our current situation..”

No one could say anything. Due to an attack by the human meat cook's sister and another warlock, they lost all funds and personnel, and only five people were left hiding in a sewer in a foreign land with no connection to them..

A sagging atmosphere. My sister skillfully brought out the good news..

“But it doesn't mean there is no harvest. 'Cause he found the guy.”

"If you are a guy?”

“Xenon Bright. I said it was Jong-gang and waited in the entertainment district, but as expected, I ran into him. He revealed his name to me."

“As expected, sister! Great!”

“Now that you've checked the guy's face, all you have to do is take off the skin of the Magic Tower official, put it on, and then approach the guy. after that-"

"-What are you going to do??”

A voice was heard from the other side of the sewer. It was Oliver..
