Genius Warlock-Episode 311

“Kurururururuk……."

Inside Landa's abandoned sewers.

The Big Mouse that Oliver pulled out looked at Oliver with distrust, contempt, and disgust..

I'm still full of dissatisfaction because I still remember the fight with the new glutton. Even though Oliver repeatedly explained that this was an unavoidable measure, Big Mouth did not relent..

Thanks to this, Oliver had to pay twice the amount he had previously paid every time he ordered Big Mouth to do a job..

It seemed like I made a mistake. If I had known this would happen, I would have engaged in a fight with two dogs instead of one..

Oliver vowed not to make this mistake in the future and made coffee in a camping coffee pot next to Big Mouth..

“……Are you a glutton??”

A female warlock who attacked Oliver when he was Zeno. Erzsebet asked..

She was the leader of the surviving Bathory family, and sitting next to her were Erzsebet Orshoyer, Erzsebet Catherine, Erzsebet Andrássy, and Erzsebet Pal in that order..

“yes… … . Big Mouth is a glutton who has been helping me since I started working as a problem solver..”

“Incredible. If it were that big, the owner would bite it too..”

“Everyone says that, but it hasn't happened yet. Thank you for following me well..”

“Aside from that, it seems like you have a lot of complaints.?”

“ah… … . There are some misunderstandings. Do you want coffee?”

Oliver asked as he poured coffee into six cups and distributed them to Bathory's disciples..

Just a few minutes ago, we were fighting for our lives. The women even felt a strange sense of fear at their bizarrely disparate attitudes..

It's like encountering an incomprehensible creature..

“ah… … .Can I have coffee??”

Oliver suddenly remembered that they were half-dead return mail and asked a question..

All of Bathory's disciples that he faced at Mountain Face were repatriates covered in irons..

Perhaps it was an impolite question, but my sister narrowed her eyes..

“Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to offend.”

“……We need to consume blood regularly, that doesn't mean we can't eat food..”

“Oh, I see.”

Oliver's eyes lit up slightly at the small but curious fact..

The attitude of a scholar full of academic enthusiasm. Like any scholar, I soon developed a new curiosity..

"hmm… … . So, do you go to the bathroom??”

“……Are you mocking us now??”

My sister expressed shame, humiliation, and anger..

“No, that's not it. I'm just really curious... … . I'll shut up.”

Oliver later realized he had made a mistake and apologized..

Fortunately, they didn't ask any more questions..

awkward air.

Oliver called Big Mouth to apologize to them..

“Eup-eup. town. Ugh. town."

Because I was speaking with my mouth closed, it sounded more like crying than speaking, but fortunately Big Mouse understood and spit out solid fuel and a coffee pot, as well as a box, a notebook, and a pen..

“Wow! Kuek!!”

Boxes, notebooks, and pens suddenly fell to the floor. My sister tilted her head..

“what is that?”

Oliver didn't try to answer, but instead scribbled with a pen in his notebook and showed it to me..

[Box with fresh blood packs.]

“……just say it with your mouth.”

“Oh, thank you. Writing and speaking is harder than I thought..”

The older sister and other sisters expressed their bewilderment at her foolish appearance. To the extent that one wonders if he is a person who used admirable magic, black magic, and blood magic.…….

“……It's a blood pack.?”

“yes. I want to express my condolences. A box of blood packs. Will you take it?”

Oliver asked politely. Honestly, it wasn't a bad suggestion from my sister's point of view..

As mentioned earlier, the situation for my sister and her group was not very good..

Funding, safety, nothing was satisfactory..

Of course, with their strength and abilities, they could have lived a prosperous life again, but because they were being chased, their activities were restricted, and it was not a situation where they could relax because they had to ingest a certain amount of blood every day, which cost a lot of money..

A very grateful gift in this current situation..

But they couldn't be happy easily.

The strange warlock in front of them was the warlock who fought with their mother, and there was no man in the world who would show such kindness..

At least that was how they lived before becoming Bathory's daughters..

“It's a very grateful gift..”

“Thank you for saying that..”

“……Why do you have so much blood??”

“Is it strange??”

“Honestly, a lot. Although blood is used as a black magic ingredient, it is difficult to manage, so it is not stored in such large quantities. I wonder if I use it a lot.”

"Oh, you have great powers of observation. When we talk about Bathory later, can I answer you all at once? Now it's your turn to answer my question first..”

Oliver asked softly..

In fact, Oliver said that he wanted to satisfy his curiosity first in return for winning the fight, and Bathory's students, including his sister, agreed..

Because they lost and the man won.

On the contrary, in the world of warlocks, this was a generous act to the point where one could be thankful..

the man opened his mouth.

“First of all, I want to make sure I understand your story correctly… … . Is it true that Bathory came here to Seland and lost contact, and as a result, you were attacked by another family of warlocks??”

My sister nodded..

“We blocked it well, but were forced into a defensive situation due to an attack by a human meat cook.?”

“……younger sister.”

“yes?”

“I said she was my younger sister. She's not the meat cook, she's the meat cook's sister.”

“ah… … . sorry. I guess I was confused. But, it’s fascinating. A warlock with a younger sister..”

Oliver's reaction wasn't that strange..

It wasn't that rare, but it was rare to see a warlock with a brother or sister..

First of all, since most black magicians were from the lower class of society, there were many cases where they had no blood relatives, and the poor and selfish environment of black magic made it difficult for them to continue to have brothers..

A truly lonely discipline.

“hmm… … . Maybe she has her fingers too??”

“I think so, and some people also think so, but no. Her mother said she was just a cocky girl who got a lot of power from her brother.."

“ah… … . is that so?”

“At least as far as I know.”

"hmm… … . But isn't he a strong man who has already defeated several families and immediately pushed you into a corner??”

The question wasn't meant to be provocative, but regardless of the intention, it made my sister and her sisters flinch in discomfort..

“It wasn't my fingers, but that doesn't mean they were weak. She is also a warlock who has lived with her brother for hundreds of years... . It is said that she recently increased her power by eating the corpse of a magician king..”

“The magician king?”

“Yes, I'm a warlock, but unlike my brother, I'm obsessed with magic..”

“ah……."

“She may not be a finger, but there's no denying she's just as powerful. According to rumors, she is stronger than her brother.."

“But before… … . no.”

Oliver was about to ask if the finger was in his brother's direction, but then stopped..

Because the Black Hand organization itself was secretive in the first place, it was difficult to obtain accurate information, and there were conflicting stories..

Just having a younger sister was enough for the human meat cook..

"Anyway, you must have had a hard time... … . So, did you come to Landae to find Bathory-sama and avoid being chased and attacked??”

My sister nodded slowly. Which is bigger between the former and the latter? It was the latter..

Oliver muttered while observing his sister's emotions..

“hmm… … . okay.”

“What I wonder is, is that the end??”

Bathory's disciple sister asked.

To be honest, Oliver had many other questions, but he nodded for now..

Now that we have found out the most curious situation about the girls and why they came here,.

For a more in-depth answer, I had to stop at this point..

“yes."

“So, can you answer our question now??”

Uncharacteristic of a defeated warlock, my sister demanded an answer..

Although this was a promise in the first place, it was unusual..

For a warlock, winning or losing was a winner-takes-all game in which everything, including life, was taken away. The man in front of me showed no such sign at all..

That's why I asked for an answer like this..

I felt stupid, but at the same time, I felt uneasy..

Because beyond simply dying, it felt like I was being influenced by the rules created by the man in front of me..

“Yes, you ask a question..”

“Do you know where my mother is??”

“hmm… … . I guess you could say I know..”

“? ……Well, can you tell me where it is??”

“Of course I can tell you. Or, I can let you meet him..”

My sister narrowed her eyes at the unexpected answer. Shining with doubt and anxiety.

"I can let you meet me?”

“yes… … . Instead, I would like to ask you a favor..”

“What is it?”

“I'm not angry.”

"......??"

Everyone, including my sister, felt puzzled and ominous at the unidentified request for an unknown reason..

A very, very serious ominous feeling..

"……Let's try.”

“That's enough... … . Big Mouth. Could you please help me??”

When Oliver asked, Big Mouth, who had been sitting on one side pouting, immediately got up..

As if you're distinguishing between when it's okay to sulk and when it's not..

Big Mouse got up and trudged over, and Oliver took out a test tube containing Child-First..

"Kuehhh!!”

Big Mouth took out the corpse doll-Bathory by hollowing out the inside..

Oliver opened the lid of the test tube and put First into the corpse doll-Bathory and raised him up..

“Here is Bathory-”

As Oliver turned around and spoke, Bathory's disciple sister was stained with anger and lashed out at Oliver with sharp fingernails..

The body moves before the head.

Fortunately, the First who entered Bathory was faster than her..

Swish————Paang!!

Burial Doll - First, who entered Bathory, moved skillfully and blocked her sister..

Not too much, as Oliver wants, but in moderation..

Thanks to this, the corpse doll - Bathory and her sister only had a physical confrontation and it did not turn into an excessive fight..

Except for my sister, the other disciples were unable to move quickly because they could not accept the situation in front of them..

Well, it was surprising enough that the person they called their mother had become the corpse doll of a problem solver. Also, I had reason to be angry..

But Oliver still wanted to talk to them, so he took the next step..

“What are you doing! Kill that guy right now-”

-[Blood Web)]

Oliver immediately manipulated the blood placed on one side and bound them again with a blood web..

This is why Oliver was unable to attack even though he was full of loopholes, such as when preparing coffee or talking..

They once again became mosquitoes caught in a spider's web..

“……everyone. Calm down for now-”

"-Kyahahahahahahahah!!! You bastard! Fuck you bastard!! I will kill you!!! I will kill you!!! I will skin you, pull out your eyes, and cut out your internal organs!! Kyahahahahahah”

My sister, who was calm and rational, started swearing as if she had become a completely different person..

It was such a rage and sadness that it consumed even reason..

As evidence, her facial muscles and tendons became unsightly and her fangs grew like those of an animal..

Like other Bathory disciples I met at Mountain Face..

“……How amazing.”

Oliver, who had been swearing for several minutes, suddenly said:.

“I don't know because I don't have a mother, but it seems like you really think of her as a mother.?”

Oliver said as he looked at Bathory's last five disciples who were crying without tears..

My sister, who swore once, answered.

“……He is the one who gave us a second life. It's mother!!”

Oliver could roughly understand what was being said..

Considering that all of the students were half dead, Bathory's past lines about trusting them as their mother and following them, and above all the memories of Oliver's teacher Joseph, it was probably true that Bathory had helped them..

And based on that grace, she would have fostered loyal disciples by believing that she was their mother and following her..

‘Is giving away one's last name part of that work??’

However, even so, Bathory did not view his students as anything more than useful tools like other warlocks..

In fact, even when Oliver and Wallace murdered numerous students, she felt pity rather than sadness..

It's a pity that I lost a useful tool..

Oliver thought about telling the story, but put it off for a moment..

Because there was something that bothered me.

Instead, I tried to calm them down..

“hmm… … . First, I suggested to Bathory that instead of fighting, we should part ways peacefully. Even during the fight, he made several proposals for reconciliation. But Bathory refused..”

“So what? I want to say that I couldn't help it.……?!!”

“Honestly, yes. Then and now, I don’t want to die… … . Couldn’t you understand? The reason I harmed Bathory was something I had no choice but to do in order to survive..”

Even though he killed his mother, Oliver asked her to understand. A sight that would make even back alley gangs cross themselves. But Oliver was sincere..

Because I wanted to talk to them more. Also, because she didn't want to hurt her as much as possible..

“Why don't you want to hurt us? They hurt my mother too.?!”

“Again, I have no ill feelings towards Bathory... … . I did have some, but that wasn't what I was aiming for from the beginning. I have no personal feelings towards you either..”

“I have a lot!!”

Conversations and emotions that do not add up at all.

My sister felt so frustrated and angry that her head and heart felt like they were going to explode..

“hmm… … . Still, can’t you understand? The reason you came here to Landa is to look for Bathory-sama, but isn't it also to protect your remaining comrades??”

Oliver said, looking through the feelings of his sister and other women..

She was responsible to the other four female warlocks: Orshoye, Catelyn, Andrathi, and Pal.,

On the contrary, Orsho, Catherine, Andrássy, and Pal had trust and faith in their sister..

My sister couldn't say anything as to whether she had seen it correctly..

She thought about the safety of her colleagues as much as revenge..

Bathory calling his students his daughters may have been just a trick, but apart from that, they considered each other real sisters..

It was quite an interesting shape..

“……what do you want from us?”

“I'll help you settle in Landa, so can you make peace with me for a little while...? At least a year."

Oliver made a truly absurd suggestion..
