Genius Warlock-Episode 322
“Unlike that guy, you have a good sense of fashion. to an excessive extent.”
8:50 p.m. Kevin said as he looked at Oliver waiting at the door..
The reason was that Oliver dressed too well for his status as a professor's personal employee..
That's because Edith, who heard everything about Oliver's situation, took care of him after careful consideration..
Everything was the best, including the suit, shoes, belt, and wristwatch..
Even compared to Kevin's, it doesn't pale in comparison..
What was even funnier was that even though he was dressed like that, Oliver looked very natural..
If the clothes didn't fit the person's style, it would give off an awkward atmosphere, as if the clothes were wearing a person, but Oliver showed no signs of that at all..
As if it was innate.
Oliver asked as he looked at Kevin examining him..
“Is this a little strange? professor.”
“No, it's not that weird. Except that he is dressed too well for an employee... … . I guess that lady named Edith hates me..”
“He hates most everything… … . Should I change into different clothes??”
“different clothes?”
“Yes, if it’s a regular suit, bring a few..”
“it's okay. It's better to be flashy than plain.”
Kevin said so and joined researchers Derek and Felix. He arrived at a social event hosted on the top floor of the hotel..
Like the guest rooms, the social hall was gorgeous as if it had been newly built, and not only that, but everything from the temperature and humidity to the scent that was gently spreading in the air was in excellent condition..
It makes me feel better just by being there..
At that social gathering place, there were already a bunch of wizards wearing neat suits and fancy dresses..
“Of course, it’s gorgeous..”
Derek muttered softly..
As a member of the Redhill family, a prestigious family of the Agni School, he seemed to know roughly who the guests attending the social gathering were..
On the other hand, Oliver and Felix were frustrated because they had no idea, but Derek noticed this and kindly explained it. Voluntarily..
“Those people over there are famous professors at Law School. The people talking are a wizard family in the center of the continent... … . uh? The original master of the blood magic school also appeared.?”
Derek said, pointing to the blood-red haired man. Despite his high position as One Master, the man looked quite young..
“That person is from the Blood Magic School.?”
“okay. It’s been a really long time since I last saw you too. Perhaps because he is the head of a new school that emerged from the School of Life more than 10 years ago, he does not engage in outside activities much..”
Derek was amazed, but he started explaining again, and Felix and Oliver followed his explanation and looked at the guests like tourists..
It was said that most of the people who attended the social church were high-ranking people, and as if to prove that, they all had vast and high-quality magical power..
To that extent, the influence of the School of Life could be felt indirectly..
“Oh, our people from the Magic Tower are also there..”
Derek pointed to the people gathered on one side of the social hall..
When I was working at the Magic Tower, I saw a familiar person I had seen from afar or passed by several times..
But the most familiar one among them was Philip, who gave me a ride today..
Even though he was obviously old, he had an unrivaled presence thanks to his enormous height and size, and as a result, people gathered around him like moths, forming a crowd..
Proof that he had as much influence as he boasted..
While he was cheerfully dealing with people, he noticed Kevin, who couldn't fit in anywhere, and waved his hand happily and called him out..
“Kevin! come this way!”
A very loud voice that is not appropriate for a social setting. However, perhaps due to his natural presence and charm, no one frowned. I'm just surprised that she actually took care of Kevin..
"Lieutenant General."
Kevin calmly approached and greeted Philip politely..
And unlike when we first met, Philip did not joke and greeted me with courtesy..
He said he likes jokes but knows how to hide them..
“Yes, nice to meet you. Nice to see you here... … . Let me introduce it to you. Lt. Col. Kevin. No, no. Master Kevin Dunbara of the Magic Tower, who is currently serving as a Magic Tower professor. Those of you who work here at Magic Tower will know.?”
Philip naturally introduced Kevin to the people he was talking with..
Kevin greeted people politely upon introduction, and people also accepted Philip's greetings with courtesy out of consideration for his reputation..
Thanks to this, Kevin, who used to wander around and not be able to mingle even when he entered social gatherings, was able to blend in with the place by barely talking to others..
The more I looked at Philip, the more considerate he became..
‘huh?’
As the conversation progressed, Oliver turned his head as he felt an alien magical force approaching him..
Should I say it’s cool??
At the end of Oliver's gaze, a large crowd of people entered the street, and soon he could see an old woman..
A proud old woman with shining silver hair neatly tied back and standing straight despite her age..
Behind her came Yareli and a number of female wizards who appeared to be her attendants..
“Ah, One Master Tilda! Long time no see.”
Philip approached the old woman in his characteristic unhesitating manner and greeted her first..
A silver-haired old woman called Tilda also accepted Philip's greeting..
“Long time no see. Lieutenant General Philip.”
Two people in different moods. Nevertheless, Oliver was able to see a glimpse of their mutual respect..
"Of course, I didn't expect to see Mrs. Tilda here too. By any chance, did you receive an invitation like me??”
“yes."
“Huh, it looks like Mr. Theodore has prepared something really great. Did any other One Masters come??”
“Not everything. The original master of the Gaia School refrained from outside activities and sent a representative, and the others... … . Oh, by any chance, have you met him??”
'It was a fairly abstract name, but Theodore understood it at once..
“Unfortunately, it looks like he's not coming... … . Kevin!”
Philip called out to Kevin, and Kevin approached him, looking uncomfortable..
“I said you wouldn't come?”
“Yes that's right. Lieutenant General… … . hello? One Master Tilda. Nice to meet you..”
Kevin said yes to Tilda after answering Philip's question..
Although they greeted her politely on the outside, Kevin had uncomfortable feelings towards her, and Tilda also showed uncomfortable feelings, although in different ways..
Maybe it's natural. Kevin said he was a master of the Skadi School and Yareli's father in order to enter the Mage Tower. In other words, he said he completely defeated Tilda's family..
Tilda looked at Kevin for a moment and then accepted his greeting..
“Nice to meet you... … . I heard from Yareli that the class was pretty good..”
“I just did what had to be done… … . Master said he could not come because of his personal studies. He asked me to say hello on his behalf..”
“research?”
Tilda, who had maintained a cold expression, slightly wrinkled her eyes in question..
He seemed quite surprised that Merlin was doing research..
“Huh, he’s a researcher… … . I'm really curious about what that is too..”
Just as Kevin was about to respond, a new voice interrupted. young and lively voice.
When everyone turned their heads, they could see the wizards from Loculi University..
Oliver's eyes fell on Rose first and were fixed on her..
Of all the people at the University of Loculi, he was the only person Oliver knew, and he was also the only person in this social gathering who could not show emotions..
However, other people's eyes went somewhere completely different from Oliver's..
To the woman at the front of the group who was presumed to have spoken.
Judging by the atmosphere, he seemed to be a person of quite high rank..
‘But you are quite young.?’
Oliver thought as he examined the woman's appearance..
That wasn't all that bothered me. Everyone was surprised to see her suddenly barging in..
Including Kevin, who was always calm, Philip, who was honest in expressing his emotions, and Tilda, who had a cold mood. Many people were so shocked that they couldn't even open their mouths..
Oliver had no way of knowing why he was reacting like this..
Fortunately, Philip soon answered this question..
“if… … . Desihe Durance No, Dean of the Department of Life and Alchemy?”
“Yes, I'm leaving right away..”
"her… … . Somehow, you're much younger than I remember..”
Philip exclaimed, and Desihe Durance responded with a smile filled with superiority..
***
Surprisingly, the woman named Desihe Durance is said to be 64 years old..
He certainly looked like he was in his early thirties... … . She looked only half her own age.
Oliver could relate to why the wizards who knew about her age were so surprised. The blessing of youth was not something that even a very small number of talented wizards could easily regain..
As if to prove this, not long after, the gently rippling social scene caused ripples throughout the area like a rock falling..
Philip and Tilda, etc. Those who were trying to say hello to the giants of the Magic Tower gathered all at once to talk to the Dean of Life Alchemy, who had suddenly become younger as if nothing had happened..
Like, a flock of chicks chasing their mother..
On the first day, the social gathering became noisy to the point where it was no longer customary to exchange only casual greetings, and naturally everyone's attention was focused on the research results of the Life School and the Life Alchemy Department..
There was definitely an item in the pamphlet about extending lifespan and youth through body modification, but no one seemed to have expected it to this extent..
'Although that is natural.’
In that social setting, intense curiosity and various forms of desire flashed brightly, and Oliver unintentionally caught a glimpse of those emotions..
“Phew… … . It's a little better.”
After a while, Oliver, who had left the social gathering, said.
It wasn't that Oliver wasn't interested in the wizard who regained his youth and the technology that helped him do it, but he decided that he wouldn't be able to get a clear answer with Oliver's current identity, location, and situation, so he just left..
In fact, even when a wizard asked directly if it was the research results of the Life School and the Life Alchemy Department, the Desiheran woman only said that she and Theodore would answer in detail during the official presentation..
Therefore, Oliver spent some time, asked Kevin's permission, and left the social gathering without delay..
It's interesting, but I think it's better to look at other things I'm curious about rather than watching something I can't immediately understand..
For example, a lake that creates magical fog..
“As expected, the fog is thick.”
Oliver muttered as he walked down the hill to the hotel..
Perhaps because it was a road and not a road for people to travel on, I had to walk quite a bit before I could go down to the village..
The fog was thicker in the village below the hill, perhaps because it was a lower area than the hotel, and visibility was more difficult due to the added darkness..
Maybe that's why there were no people on the streets..
Well, Oliver didn't come to see anyone, so it didn't really matter..
Trudging. Trudging. plod.
Despite his limited field of vision, Oliver followed the path to the lake from the hotel, referring to the map in the pamphlet..
Perhaps because the lake is a tourist attraction, it was clearly marked on the map, and there was a main road leading to it, so there was no need to get lost..
Although I felt gazes from the inns and houses I passed every now and then. Other than that, Oliver passed through the dense forest and arrived at the lake without any difficulty or strangeness..
Even when I saw it from a distance from the hotel, I knew it didn't have normal magical power, but when I looked closer, it was more than that..
Although not as strong as the ice land, the amount of magical power was significant..
Enough for Oliver to extract and use a lot..
Looking back, I noticed that no one had touched it except for the villages on the outskirts of the lake. I thought that perhaps the nature that was barely touched by humans had more magical power..
"huh?"
While Oliver was looking at the huge magical lake and its surroundings, he discovered something that bothered him..
As the warlock focused his eyes, he could see that there were several water veins opening at the bottom of the lake..
A water vein through which lake water flows. The water veins spread out in many directions and encompassed the entire village..
No matter how you look at it, it was not a natural water vein.……
Oliver instinctively took out a pamphlet and a pen, checked his location, and began drawing on the map..
