Genius Warlock - Episode 320
180Centimeter-long height, broad shoulders, solid muscular body, hair slicked back with pomade, neatly trimmed short beard..
Terence Lore slightly raised his hand and greeted Oliver and Kevin..
Kevin was surprised by his appearance, but immediately accepted his greeting as if he understood, and Oliver also greeted him politely..
Because Oliver did a good job and treated me kindly when he was away on vacation. Sure, he did throw a punch that would have killed him if he'd been hit. Well, it could be so, right??
After Kevin and Oliver said hello, Derek and Felix also quickly greeted Terrence..
Terence accepted their greetings..
“Ah, nice to meet you. nice to meet you. His name is Terence of the Lore family. How satisfying to see that lone wolf accept a researcher. Help me and learn from me. My personality is abrasive, but my skills are all the same..”
Unlike Kevin, who was blunt, Terence was friendly and shook hands with Derek and Felix and gave them well-wishes..
Kevin, who was watching this, sighed..
“ha… … . I clearly couldn't see you from the boat, how did you get here??”
“Wow... … . I didn't know you wanted to see me so much?”
“Don't you think it's usually the opposite??”
“Kkkkkkk! It's harsh.”
Instead of frowning at Kevin's blunt answer, Terence responded with a smile..
It was a sincere laugh, not a fake laugh..
We've seen it before, but Terrence was really friendly to Kevin..
‘Well, the soldiers were all friendly to the professor..’
Oliver thought about what happened on the train to the Mountain Face..
As soon as I revealed that I was Kevin's personal employee, everyone showed a friendly attitude..
It wasn't a field I knew well, so I couldn't make a hasty judgment, but it wasn't favor or respect for Professor Magic Top, but favor and respect for Kevin as a person himself..
Apparently, Kevin not only did his job quite well during his time as a military wizard, but he also seemed to take good care of the people around him..
‘It's not that strange to see him working as a professor..’
The conversation between Terence and Kevin continued..
“As you know, I have a golden spoon, right? To the point where he says his family name before his name. Of course I came on a private ferry..”
As if to prove his point, Terence pointed his finger at a passenger ship docked at a dock not far away..
Surprisingly, it wasn't much different from the passenger ship that Kevin and his group boarded..
From Oliver's economic perspective, it seemed like too much for one person to own..
“Even though you are a gold digger, you are one of the many members of the Lore family. I did that alone... … Ah, the lieutenant general is here too..”
While Kevin was speaking, he noticed something. Terence smiled..
“I know it well. So, do you understand why I came here? Follow.”
Terence snapped his fingers with the attitude that the decision had already been made, and Kevin, although dissatisfied, followed obediently..
Kevin said to Oliver, Derek, and Felix.
“You guys follow me too.”
***
“Hahahahaha! Long time no see, Colonel! You seem to be doing well.!!”
Near the dock, off the busy road for horse-drawn carriage rides..
A man in his 50s or 60s who was sitting on a large chair there and leisurely waiting for someone said..
He was truly an impressive man..
How should I express it… … ? Yes, it reminded me of rocks and lions. Or a lion made of rock.
That's how strong and courageous he seemed..
2He had a large body that weighed just over a meter, had broad shoulders, and even though he wore thick clothes for formality, his powerful muscles made his presence felt..
A body reminiscent of a golem rather than a person. In addition, the long beard and hair like a lion's mane were enough to give a feeling of solemnity and intimidation..
So much so that even Terrence and Kevin are dwarfed..
It was truly admirable..
“hello. Lieutenant General Philip. Have you been at peace so far??”
Philip Rohr answered.
“What hardships can an old man who has retired from the front line and is working hard to train the next generation go through? Where else have salutes been sold??”
Philip showed a soft and cheerful demeanor that did not match his appearance, but occasionally exuded a sense of intimidation..
It was like a lion joking with a herbivore..
However, Kevin answered without hesitation that he was not a herbivore..
“I am no longer a soldier, but a professor at the Magic Tower..”
“I always regret that... … . He should have done whatever it took to get him nailed..”
Surprisingly, it wasn't a joke, it was sincere. It's just that I couldn't do it for some reason..
Philip, who was feeling disappointed, said as if he had a good idea..
“yes… … ! Do you have a girl? A woman who meets for casual fun or is thinking of getting married..”
“yes?”
Kevin raised an eyebrow and asked back at the personal yet unexpected question. means embarrassing and unpleasant.
However, Philip, befitting his overflowing confidence and pride, lightly ignored the minor complaints of others and asked the question again..
“Is there a woman? female. Seriously or lightly... … . When you're my age, you can ask this much..”
“ha… … . I don't think this is the answer to give in front of researchers and staff..”
Philip then turned his head towards Oliver, Felix, and Derek..
“Oh, sorry... … . Nice to meet you. Gentlemen. His name is Philip Lore, the head of the Lore family that has supported one of the kingdom's armies for over a hundred years. Everyone has heard of our family and is familiar with it.?”
Philip asked very confidently. He was so proud of his family..
Derek and Felix said yes. Except Oliver..
“I don't know the details.”
"............"
"............"
"............"
"............"
"............"
Silence, like a lump of iron rather than lead, suddenly pressed down on the surrounding air. And with that everyone saw Oliver..
discomfort. With embarrassment shining.
Oliver asked Kevin with a look..
‘Did I make a mistake?.’
‘very.’
Kevin answers with his eyes. Oliver belatedly tried to control the situation..
“All I know is that their emblem is a lion, they come from a prestigious war wizard family, and they have accomplished numerous feats in colonial and continental wars. Other than that, I don't know any details.."
Oliver belatedly told me what he knew..
This was information learned from Murphy's second request, thanks to defeating a magic tower student from the Lore family during that mission..
“ha… … . Thank goodness. I thought you, Colonel Kevin, were taking someone with no common sense, but fortunately you know the basics. Why did you say you didn’t know??”
Philip, whose expression relaxed as if relieved, frowned again and asked a question..
“sorry. That's all I know about the Lore family. I thought it would be rude to say I knew that much..”
“Ho... … . That's not wrong. It would be a mistake to say we know that much about our Lore family..”
Philip thought as he placed a thick finger on his chin. If I were to be caught by those thick hands, it would be as fatal as being bitten by a lion..
“At least it's good to be honest and not lie. Because honesty is a virtue... … . Do you want to know more about our family??”
Kevin shook his head at Oliver. Oliver saw that and responded..
“I'd love to hear it if you let me know..”
“Are you serious??”
“yes. Even though they are wizards, I have a lot of questions about the Lore family, which maintained a close relationship with the kingdom's military and played an active part in the colonial war. There's something I'd like to ask you personally..”
Oliver spoke his thoughts honestly. Those feelings were conveyed to Philip..
Proof of this is the raised mouth reminiscent of a lion's maw..
“Huh... … . What a fun friend you are. Lt. Col. Kevin Since you said you hired staff, I expected it to be unusual, but it was more than I expected..”
“sorry. I will educate you well again..”
“No, no. I'm praising you. Do you like it. I'm curious about my family?”
“Yes, I'd be happy to learn if you let me know..”
“I like it too! good! Lt. Col. Kevin. come with me!”
“yes?”
“Don’t show that you don’t like it… … . Don’t you know that I’m not the kind of person who will let you go just because you show something I don’t like? I don't even have the means to go there.?”
Philip pointed to the still busy road. As Oliver got further away, the horses regained their composure, but they were still fighting among themselves because of the backlog of passengers..
Even if I went now, it seemed clear that I would be wasting about half a day..
Kevin, who hates wasting time, eventually surrendered..
“ha… … .Then, please excuse me..”
“I'm willing to accept it. It would have been better if I hadn't sighed.”
“……By any chance, did you call a carriage separately??”
Kevin asked, remembering later that horses were afraid of Oliver..
If it was a carriage, other means had to be found. Maybe we should just let Oliver walk separately..
Fortunately, Philip shook his head..
"no. Do you think I, a gentleman from the most advanced kingdom in the world, honorary grand master of the Pure Magic School, principal of the royal wizard academy, director of the royal magic research department, and head of the Lore family, would use such an anachronistic means of transportation??”
“So, did you bring a car on board the ferry??”
“ah… … . Half of it was right, half of it was wrong. He lost his senses after being discharged from the military..”
Philip lamented and stretched out his hand to a woman who was standing as an attendant..
She, with her muscular body and sharp eyes, lifted her travel bag from the pile of luggage on the floor..
It looked like an ordinary bag, but Oliver could see that it contained several magical items..
‘Advanced miniaturization magic, lightweight magic, and shock absorption magic.’
The magic itself is basic, but the difficulty of the spell can change drastically depending on the target..
I was curious about what was inside.
click.
Philip opened the bag. Then the small car model inside revealed itself..
A very detailed and well-made model... … . It wasn't long before I realized this was a real car..
“It's a real car.”
“Won't you get criticized if you carry a toy car at this age??”
Philip said and placed four miniature cars on the ground..
Kevin, Derek, Felix, and even Oliver looked at that in amazement..
As mentioned earlier, miniaturization magic, light weight magic, and shock absorption magic were the basic magic among pure magical school magic, but they were also magic whose difficulty level increased rapidly depending on the target..
The larger the object, the heavier it is, and the more complex its internal structure, the more elaborate the technique requires..
Moreover, for a car with an average of 30,000 parts, the difficulty was beyond imagination..
Considering its size, weight, and horsepower to maintain shock absorption for a long time, it was even more difficult to estimate its level..
I knew that Philip was not an ordinary person after seeing the enormous amount of magical energy and delicate magical flow within his body, but this was more than that..
Just-!
Philip snapped his thick fingers and broke the spell. The cars placed in a row returned to their original size..
It was a custom-made luxury vehicle that looked as strong as an armored car, but with a golden lion symbol on a blue background, it looked very luxurious..
The proof is that all eyes around are focused on the car..
Philip said proudly..
“4There is a stand so everyone can ride it. Lt. Col. Kevin. You take the ride with me.”
“Yes, I understand. You guys get in the very back..”
Kevin sent Oliver, Derek, and Felix to the rearmost car. Philip stopped Kevin..
“wait for a sec… … . That friend rides with you too.”
“Are you talking about Zeno??”
“Yes, you just decided to tell us about our family.?”
