Genius Warlock-Episode 347
“I'm going to hit you... … . There's something I want to say.”
Gretel burst into laughter after hearing Oliver's answer. I smile so much that tears come to my eyes..
She was as cheerful as she was when she came to invite Kevin to the conference..
It didn't seem like it was just because I had a pleasant personality..
“Rose du Bois, what are you doing here??”
“Hmm... … . I'm curious about that?”
“hmm… … . Actually, I have more questions..”
“Oh my, what is it??”
“Are you, by any chance, the younger sister of the human meat chef??”
Oliver suddenly asked a question as if poking me..
Gretel, perhaps because this was an unexpected question, opened her eyes wide with interest..
“Ho... … . Why do you think so??”
“The emotional state is similar to that of the disciples of human meat chefs. It feels awkwardly put together..”
Oliver answered, remembering the men of the human meat chef who attacked the auction house and the former captain of the fighter crew, the chef..
There were differences in degree, but their emotions and vitality were awkwardly put together, as if they had been taken from several people and pasted together..
Gretel reacted in surprise after hearing the answer..
“my… … . Do you see the emotions??”
"A little bit. When I first saw it, I couldn't look closely as if I had hit thick opaque glass, but now I can see it a little bit..”
It was true. Obviously, when we first met, I couldn't see his emotions properly, but maybe he had grown due to the previous battle with Theodore, but now I could see them, albeit faintly..
After hearing the explanation, Gretel focused on the warlock's eyes and examined Oliver's emotions..
I was wondering if Oliver was bluffing... … . But the emotions were so quiet that I couldn't read them at all..
It was strange that I could see it but couldn’t read it..
“lie… … . I don't think they do it?”
“There's no reason to lie?”
“is that so? I'm sorry for doubting you. Because most men are liars and braggarts. At least as far as I know.”
Gretel laughed as if it were a joke, but there was some sincerity in it..
I don't know the details, but I think there's something unfortunate going on, so Oliver added:.
“There's one more reason to guess.”
“What is it?”
“Rose reacted when she saw Bathory turned into a corpse doll, so she guessed that she was the human meat chef's sister. First, who entered Bathory, also reacted upon seeing Mr. Rose..”
Gretel looked at Bathory, a corpse doll, approaching Oliver's side as if he was surprised..
“Thank you for your kind explanation... … . I didn't know you would go that far, but thank you..”
“I think it's polite to tell you everything..”
At Oliver's answer, Gretel laughed again, came down from the air, and bowed politely like a lady on the surface of the lake..
“Let me formally greet you. My name is Gretel, another human meat cook. A student at the University of Loculi, a finger of the black hand..”
Gretel introduced herself as a human meat chef and finger along with her real name..
As explained by Bathory's sister, he seemed to think he was a finger..
‘I don't need to question it, but.’
Oliver thought and bowed with the same courtesy..
“My name is Dave Wright, Professor Magic Tower's personal employee Zenon Bright and Area T's troubleshooter. nice to meet you.”
Oliver greeted the Angel House employees politely, as he had learned from them. The only person who could see and evaluate it was Gretel, but it looked decent and plausible. Like a true gentleman..
“Yes, I heard a lot of rumors. Including capturing Bathory, Puppet survived an unknown old man... … . I was a bit interested, but when I met him in person, he turned out to be more interesting than I thought..”
“Is that so?”
“yes. A street troubleshooter and an employee of Magic Tower... … . It's not a common history.?”
“I think Gretel is more than that.?”
Oliver said sincerely, not sarcastically..
While Oliver is just a problem solver and a personal employee of Professor Magic Top, Gretel is a self-proclaimed Black Finger and an official student at the University of Loculi... … . Anyone could say she was more amazing.
“In addition, he is a highly skilled magic user who even used a large-scale barrier that covered the entire village..”
“Oh my... … . Did you notice it was me??”
“Yes, I felt it when I interfered..”
Gretel smiled again. It's surprising that he uses his own barrier magic, but in the process, he doesn't notice his own presence..
It was a story that was theoretically possible, but it was only possible with tremendous skill... … . Now I understand why the old man made a deal with his brother not to mess with him..
“However, I am a little curious as to why he has only now revealed himself after watching quietly. Are you here to help Theodore??”
“No way. I'm not a penny enough to help an old man who says we should work together but is manipulating things behind his back. All I want is that old man's body.”
After hearing the answer, Oliver reflexively looked at Theodore, who was caught by the mechanical arm..
Currently, he was aging rapidly and was weakened, perhaps due to excessive fighting or because his grandson was leaving his body..
Nevertheless, Oliver nodded as if he understood Gretel's request..
Although he was now just a frightened, old body, Theodore's body was still worth a lot of money..
He himself is an outstanding wizard, a model of technology that has been stably maintained by transplanting the genes of hundreds and thousands of people, and the best result of the concentration of the technology of the School of Life..
Whether it was a black magic case or a wizard, if you had enough skills, you could investigate him and extract immensely valuable knowledge..
‘You can just eat it and absorb its power.…….'
“Originally, I was going to catch him too, but I thought it would be a little annoying to see them fighting. Puppet I also have a promise with that old man... … . So he'll offer you a deal. Just hand over to me that old man named Theodore and his grandson, and I'll just leave like this..”
“You're serious..”
“sure! I don't lie.”
“That's a lie..”
Oliver struck the candle and told the truth..
Gretel's expression hardened in displeasure, wondering if that was a mistake..
“hate… … . Just because you can see into her lady's heart, you shouldn't look into it so carelessly..”
“Oh, sorry..”
“I accept the apology. So, you, like a gentleman, will accept my offer.?”
"no. Sorry, I don't like that.”
Oliver politely but firmly refused..
I had to hit Carl, and I also had a few questions to ask Theodore..
Of course, I doubted whether I would ever get an answer in my current state, but I couldn't just hand it over..
If that didn't work out, I was thinking of recycling it at least as a corpse doll. Because I wanted to.
But Gretel didn't seem to like Oliver's answer..
“It's rude to refuse a woman's offer. They say all men in the kingdom are gentlemen..”
“Because I'm a Landaan. Besides, I also have some business to attend to these two..”
“What's the matter??”
“There's something I'd like to say to Mr. Carl, and a few things I'd like to ask Theodore... … . Also, I would like to make it into a corpse doll. One of them happened to be broken..”
Oliver pointed to the broken doll-sniper. Earlier, when Theodore exploded alive, I was closest and was completely destroyed..
“So I think it would be difficult to give in... … . Please understand.”
Oliver asked with sincerity and sincerity, and Gretel thought for a moment to see if it made sense..
“Hmm… … . Then there is nothing we can do..”
With that answer, Gretel instantly activated space magic and created several portals around Oliver..
It was similar to, but different from, the spatial school's portal magic. Among them, many wizards who appeared to be members of the Life Alchemy School of Loculi University and women who appeared to be warlocks emerged..
Everyone is very talented.
As Oliver and other corpse dolls prepared for battle, blue lightning fell from the clear sky, accurately matching the number of enemies, sniping them one by one..
Most of those struck by lightning died or suffered serious injuries..
In a short moment of less than a second.
The air hardens. At that time, a third voice was heard along with a sudden sense of popularity..
“That's a very unfortunate answer..”
Oliver and Gretel turned their heads following the sound, and there stood an old man who they didn't know how long he had been around..
It was Oliver's temporary mentor, Merlin..
***
The air suddenly changed due to the presence of Merlin, who suddenly appeared without any warning..
Gretel’s nervous emotions are proof of that..
In fact, Oliver greeted Merlin normally. He has a feeling of surprise.
“hello. Elderly… … . Weren't you attending this conference??”
“As you get older, your whims become more and more fickle. I changed my mind. But this is a mess. Excuse me for a moment.”
Merlin naturally came next to Oliver and took a few steps forward. Then she greeted Gretel.
“Hello. Gretel. It's my first time seeing you, but nice to meet you.”
“You are this team's archive... … . I was disappointed when they told me they wouldn't come, but I'm not happy to see it like this again..”
Oliver watched the conversation between Merlin and Gretel in silence. It seemed like we knew each other, but it gave off a strange atmosphere, as if we were seeing each other for the first time..
“To be honest, I also don't feel at peace when I meet someone like this. So let’s get straight to the point. First of all, how about you step aside??”
Merlin immediately suggested. For some reason, it looked different than usual. Something like atmosphere.
It was difficult to read because the emotions were hidden behind a thick wall of magic..
‘……Are you feeling a little irritated??’
Oliver thought as he saw the emotions that seemed to be very faintly shining through the thick magical wall..
“You're making quite unreasonable demands... … . I heard that this archive is rather quiet..”
“Originally, I had a dirty personality. I didn't know how high the sky was, and I tended to prefer fists over words. Just think of it as the personality coming out... … . Anyway, if you just quietly leave like this, I won't touch that area right now, so please do so. I've already had enough fun with that, so it's not a good idea.?”
It wasn't wrong. Just as the Life School kidnapped the magicians invited to the conference, Gretel would have also kidnapped the conference guests with her subordinates from the Life Alchemy Department..
“I'm not good enough at all, what should I do??”
"It's okay. Even if you are not satisfied, there are times when you have to step down. For example, when you meet someone stronger than you.……."
“I agree with that, but wouldn't it depend on the situation??”
“What situation are you talking about??”
“My men are hiding here now. As soon as I send a signal, the magic tower humans who barely survived will die.”
A flash!
As Gretel spoke to propose a deal, blue lightning again fell sporadically across Lake Village from the quiet sky..
Although it was only a brief moment, Oliver could see the magic power boiling up in Merlin's body in an instant and the lightning with a powerful but delicate and restrained technique..
Oliver instinctively thought that Gretel's men were where that lightning struck..
“There……."
“I just sent a bolt of lightning down on your waiting men. Even if I can't do it, I think I've reduced my power by half, so I'll continue.?”
It seemed like it was true.
Merlin's magic wall became even thicker and he could no longer read even the faintest emotions, but Gretel's agitated reaction proved that they were not empty words..
As soon as Gretel tried to mention troops, Merlin nullified it with a single attack..
With ridiculous magic like sniping with a bomber..
I could say it was very great.
Using a large-scale bombardment spell called lightning in the form of sniping against widely hidden enemies was a technique that even Oliver had never thought of..
A picture that can only be achieved with a level of horsepower and magic control that goes beyond common sense..
I already knew that Merlin was a great wizard, but it seemed like he was more than that..
Gretel looked around the entire Lake Village with the eyes of a warlock and the ability to detect magic, and opened her mouth with an angry smile on her face..
“ha… … . After all, an archive is an archive..”
