Genius Warlock-Episode 327
“Yes, it’s been a while… … . You've changed a bit.?”
Oliver, who looked at Eve, belatedly added a word..
In fact, Eve looked much different than when Oliver first saw her..
When I first saw it, it was dizzyingly colorful, but now it was unified into a green color, and its shape was also much more stable than in the unstable past..
‘It's more subtle than anything, but it looks like a human shape... … . Are you a woman??’
Oliver thought as he looked at the slightly prominent shape in the middle of the energy mass..
Oliver had no way of knowing why he looked like that, but at least he seemed to have calmed down mentally compared to when he first met him..
Eve answered.
[……yes. Is it okay to see?]
Eve asked in a voice that was different from that of a human but was not intrusive..
“hmm… … . I personally like it because it seems calmer than when I saw it before..”
[thank you Thanks to you.]
Oliver tilted his head at Eve's words. He felt like he owed it to himself, but he couldn't remember helping anything..
“ah… … . If it's because I released you, you don't have to be grateful. Because I got paid too..”
Eve remained silent without answering. I was very cautious and embarrassed..
It's hard to understand people's emotions, but it was also difficult to understand Eve's emotions..
Well, it didn't matter because it wasn't urgent right now..
Oliver remembered the current situation and tried to ask Eve for help..
With the skills that Eve showed, we can at least know what's going on here..
Just as I was about to open my mouth, Eve spoke a beat faster..
[I looked like Oliver..]
At those words, Oliver stopped what he was saying and his eyes widened slightly..
“People?”
[yes.]
It was like that. When Oliver first met Eve, he said something like that..
To be exact, I just happened to say it..
When Oliver first met Eve, Eve was extremely angry, perhaps because she had been forcibly restrained by the Druid, and Oliver saw Eve like that and asked her to be patient for a little while..
Surprisingly, Eve granted Oliver's request..
Afterwards, Oliver made a deal with Eve and received information about Sheamus and ABC Investment Company in exchange for Eve's release..
After the transaction was over, while checking the data of Sheamus and ABC Investment Company, Oliver looked at Eve, who was still angry, and said in passing:.
‘Please don't get too angry at people. I understand why you're angry, but there are some interesting people and some great people. I also found out while looking into it. So Eve, don’t be too angry. please… … . I have checked all the data. Thank you for keeping your promise, and you may leave. thank you.’
As soon as Oliver spoke, Eve left. He secretly left a message to call me again if anything was needed..
It was clearly an urgent situation, but Oliver was intrigued..
“I was looking at people?”
[Yes, I looked at a lot of people..]
Oliver was a little surprised… … . No, maybe it's not that weird..
Eve is a being born from the World Tree. I could have looked at more people than Oliver if I wanted to..
In theory, you could look anywhere within the reach of the World Tree and look at a lot of past information..
I was really curious about what Eve thought when she looked at the people..
“How was it??”
[It wasn't fun or great.]
Eve said firmly. There was disappointment in the voice. The disappointment was more pronounced because there was no anger or malice when they first met..
“Is that so?”
[yes.]
“Can I ask why you think that??”
Eve was silent for a moment, then suddenly pulled numerous videos into the air and played them..
Women eating tea and cake, and women jumping into the river with their children, unable to overcome poverty and hunger..
A wealthy family touring a slum.
A man enjoying a party and a worker sleeping on a rope.
A family enjoying a picnic and a family quietly watching their dying family member.
Politicians advocating freedom and equality and colonial invasions.
Soldiers who swear courage and loyalty and soldiers who kill civilians with guns and knives.
It was very, very vivid. That's because the World Tree was not created by Eve, but simply took its true form..
[Is this fun and great??]
Eve asked Oliver. Looks a little angry, a little confused.
Eve was serious, and Oliver responded accordingly..
“no. It's not fun, and I don't think it's great... … . I just have questions. Why is it like that?.”
[Is that so?]
“Yes, I had similar thoughts when I first went to the city of Landa. While the center of the city is clean and prosperous, the outskirts of the city are not. People's emotions were so different..”
[Did you find out why??]
“well? I'm not sure. First of all, I think it's because of money. They say that only when you have a lot of money can you live a stable life and invest in the environment and public safety. So I asked. Why is the money people have so different?.”
[Who did you ask??]
“Mr. Paul Carver.”
[Landa is the Minister of the Interior..]
Eve said right away.
Oliver was once again surprised, but soon understood..
Eve is an artificial spirit born from the World Tree. Finding Carver wouldn't be a task..
“Yes, that's right. You're amazing..”
Eve faintly felt happy at Oliver's praise..
[What did I hear in response??]
“hmm… … . But if it’s Eve, wouldn’t you know without asking??”
[I'd like to hear it. Dear Oliver.]
Eve said with sincerity shining. It even feels like you're asking for a favor..
Oliver answered. It's not really a secret, and conversations like this are always welcome. Isn't it fun??
“The inevitable resource investment and distribution system for efficient growth, differences in the value of work itself, the absence of labor laws, the absence of a minimum wage system, institutional limitations, etc. I heard a systematic and logical story..”
[Did you understand?]
“no. I understand each thing one by one, but overall I didn't get a very clear answer. It's just confusing... … . It was fun though.”
[What's fun?]
“Mr. Carver, who initially gave only business-like answers, gradually became engrossed in the story and began to seriously talk to me about how to solve the problem. Labor security laws, minimum wage laws, child labor laws, etc. Although I am passive in terms of welfare, I have some interest. Do you know what's fun here??”
[no.]
“Mr. Carver doesn't do this out of sympathy for the city's workers, but rather believes that these investments will bring prosperity to the city as a whole. When people's lives stabilize, consumption will increase, which will become a growth engine for companies. They also said that if more quality jobs are created, talented people will flock to the city, so companies will come here to secure manpower... … . Benefiting people while maintaining his own beliefs. Isn't it really fun??”
Oliver asked Eve sincerely.
It was really interesting.
Doing something with your own beliefs.
[Is that kind of fun??]
“Personally. Belief, will, and striving for a goal... … . Isn't it fun? Of course, there are people who sometimes break or make mistakes, but there are also people who try to fix things even if it is too late. That's amazing.”
[who is that?]
“yes?”
[A person who breaks or makes mistakes but corrects them even if it is late..]
“ah… … . He… … . Sorry, but can I answer you later? Now that I think about it again, I don't think I'm qualified to evaluate him. I make mistakes sometimes.”
When Oliver asked politely, Eve listened as she had done the first time. He was truly considerate..
[but… … . There will be fewer cases where Oliver said.]
Eve suddenly said.
“I beg your pardon?”
[That's what Oliver said. Most people are disappointed.]
“hmm… … . Maybe? But doesn’t that make it even more valuable? Also, since this is my personal opinion, I think Eve should not limit herself to this too much. What you think is fun and great is a very personal thing. Eve is greater than me, so she will find something more interesting and great than me..”
Eve remained silent, her emotions fluctuating as if she were confused. As if she was thinking deeply about something. I thought it was a good phenomenon. Thinking is a good thing.
“Eve.”
[yes. oliver.]
“I'm sorry, but if you don't mind, could you help me for a moment? Because I need help..”
[……of course. Please tell me.]
***
Oliver, with Eve's help, stopped logging in and took his hand off the World Tree..
It felt like some time had passed.
“Was the connection successful??”
In response to Kevin's question, Oliver nodded and stood up..
Terence and Yarely looked at Oliver in surprise. As if asking what the hell it is.
Kevin asked a question, ignoring them..
“Well, I figured out what happened.?”
“I was unable to find out in detail due to time constraints, but as the professor said, it seems true that the organizers of the conference, the School of Life and the Department of Life Alchemy, were responsible for this. It seems like it took a long time to prepare.”
“Right. How are things now??”
“I don't know everything, but most of the participants in the conference are trapped in the fog and are being attacked one after another. For improved humans and wizards. There are some people who are doing well, but those who are prominently active are being swallowed up by fog and scattered in other spaces..”
It was exactly what Kevin expected..
Well, since it was a place where many talented people gathered, it was much more efficient to let things go like this rather than dealing with them all at once..
The space itself was dominated by fog..
Terence then intervened..
“Do you know what happened to the old man? Lieutenant General Philip Rohr.”
“You are fighting.”
Terence asked urgently. Oliver answered without embarrassment..
“They're fighting?”
“Yes, we are fighting an old man with Tilda, the original master of the Skadi School..”
“It must be Theodore. He's the only one who can deal with both of you at the same time, and the old man went to see Theodore in secret..”
Terence was angry but relieved that Philip was still safe..
Kevin also agreed..
"I'm glad. If we just save Lieutenant General Philip and One Master Tilda, we'll find a way. At least we can prove that the School of Life published this article. Let's move right away.”
Kevin tried to move right away without stopping, just like he always did..
It wasn't a bad action. If you procrastinate for no reason, you could be attacked by a new enemy, or you could be swallowed up by the fog and scattered here and there..
Terence and Yarely also followed Kevin's orders even though they were full of questions about their own family issues..
“Can I say something here??”
While everyone was in a hurry, only Oliver raised his hand without moving..
Everyone looked at Oliver in silence and put pressure on him, but when he showed signs of not moving until he spoke, Kevin finally spoke..
“what?”
“It's no different. A significant number of students have been kidnapped and held captive in a secret laboratory. Can we not save them? There are quite a few Derek, Felix, and other Magic Tower students..”
Oliver suddenly spoke, as if forcing a choice. While everyone was silent, Oliver added,.
“Oh, I was just asking for your opinion..”
