Genius Warlock - Episode 350
Following Merlin's persuasion, everyone agreed to put aside the issue of Oliver for a while and discuss the betrayal of the School of Life and the Department of Life Alchemy..
Because it is the most urgent matter.
As soon as the agreement was reached, Merlin told Oliver and Kevin to stay outside the tent..
Because it is an important issue, it would be better to leave out the two controversial people right now..
Although it was Merlin who created the controversy in the first place, Kevin did not argue and bowed politely to Merlin as a disciple, following his orders..
Oliver also imitated the same gesture and said hello and followed Kevin outside..
“sorry.”
Oliver followed Kevin out of the tent and immediately apologized..
The reason for the apology was that his identity was discovered. It was already an issue I apologized for, but I still apologized again..
It may not be a big problem, but whatever it was, it was an embarrassment to Kevin, who helped him..
Kevin responded as if it was no big deal..
“it's okay. It's already happened in the past, and it's true that your true identity was revealed and you responded more easily..”
“I'm sorry though... … . I feel like I've jeopardized the professor's efforts..”
Kevin paused at the words that seemed to have some meaning, glanced at Oliver, and fell into thought..
Then he walked silently towards a deserted place. With Oliver..
When the distance between people increases to a certain extent, Kevin gathers magic power at the tip of his fingers and it's perfect! and flicked it to unleash soundproofing magic..
“Do you pity me??”
"Sympathy?”
“Yes, I heard about my past from Theodore..”
Kevin expressed his boredom and slight displeasure..
“well… … . I do not know. I don't know what virginity is like..”
A statement that would sound like ridicule if said by an ordinary person. But Kevin wasn't angry..
Because I've seen Oliver from the side, I knew he meant it..
“However, I think the professor is great..”
“okay?”
“yes. Despite your personal feelings, didn't you try to save the students?.”
Oliver said, remembering Kevin's feelings at the time..
Kevin hasn't forgotten his past, and he hasn't forgotten his resentment either..
I just hid it deep in my heart. Rather than forgetting it, they even aged it even more strongly..
Of course he did, but at the same time, he really tried to save Derek and Felix from the mess..
Despite holding a grudge against the entire Magic Tower, he tried to save his student..
Contradictory feelings that cannot be established logically. However, Kevin had such feelings, and those contradictory feelings really shined beautifully..
When I explained this, Kevin opened his mouth..
“I'm not a fool who gets caught up in my emotions and won't do my job.”
“I know. That's why I think it's great.”
“And I have no intention of taking my revenge through someone else's hands. I know because I heard it?”
“yes.”
Oliver answered, recalling the conversation between Kevin and Theodore..
It is said that the reason Kevin became Merlin's disciple was to take revenge on his teacher and enemy, Merlin, but also on all the wizards and their families who had engaged in human experimentation at the time..
By becoming the greatest wizard.
Those were never empty words. Kevin's anger and hatred, which are not only hot but even harsh, are proof of this..
“So I just did my job. For that day. So, don’t judge me arbitrarily by saying I’m great or pitiful. I'm just following my plan. I understand?”
“ah… … . All right. and sorry.”
Oliver gasped at Kevin's words and apologized..
Surely Oliver may have been presumptuous in his assessment... … . Kevin was just following his own plan..
‘But I still think it's great…….'
However, Oliver decided not to speak further on the matter. Because Kevin, the person involved, didn't want to hear any more..
When we were done talking about the issue, Kevin moved on to another topic..
“Would I be taken to Rousseau and hear what happened? After listening to the conversation we had earlier, it seems like something unusual happened, and Oliver immediately gave a brief explanation of the overall battle with Theodore..
The process of Theodore absorbing his grandson Carl, fighting in the lake, and defeating Theodore..
‘Theodore was trying to encroach on my body... … . let's not talk.’
When Oliver told him that he had defeated Theodore by himself, hiding some facts, Kevin did not show it on the outside, but was very surprised on the inside..
That's because Theodore had a unique presence in the Magic Tower..
But when Gretel came out, I was surprised several times over..
“The flesh chef's sister?!”
“Yes, her name is Gretel. That's how he explained it, and his feelings were genuine. So it must be true.”
“So, Rose du Bois, an exchange student in the Department of Life and Alchemy, is the younger sister of the Finger of the Black Hand and the Human Flesh Chef.?”
“yes. The elders know this and will probably discuss it over there..”
Kevin turned his head and looked at the huge tent where Merlin would be..
“That's amazing.”
“I also agree. rose… … . No, I knew from the moment I first met Gretel that she was not an ordinary person, but I never expected that she was the younger brother of the human meat cook..”
“yes. It's unexpected. Most of them do not appear officially and move in secret. That's why it's semi-treated as an urban legend. But I broke it.”
Kevin said as if he knew something..
Well, war wizards are not only responsible for war, but also for catching superhuman criminals such as warlocks, magic users, and street wizards..
It wasn't particularly strange for Kevin, who was a highly capable military wizard, to know about this..
“I'm glad. If that's true, no one will care about you for a while..”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, the mere fact that a big name like the flesh cook's sister infiltrated the Department of Life Alchemy is a huge problem. I can't pay attention to the small details. By the way, this is a really big deal..”
“what do you mean?”
“My guess is that most likely, the Department of Life Alchemy has been eaten up from within. To Gretel. If such a big name was involved in something like this, he wouldn't be a bridesmaid... … . Not only the University of Loculi but also Gallos will be overturned..”
hmm… … . When I thought about it, it seemed like the right thing to say..
If a big name like the self-proclaimed finger meat chef sister was involved in this matter, it was more natural for her to be the instigator of the incident rather than a mere collaborator..
And if such a Gretel had devoured a department at the University of Magic, it would have been a huge disaster not only to the University of Lokuli, but also to the Gallos royal family who founded the University of Lokuli..
However, there was something I didn't understand..
The Human Flesh Chef is also a warlock after all, so is it possible to take over Loculi University, the magic tower of Gallos, from within? … … Aren't you a wizard??”
Kevin scratched his eyebrows as if he had trouble explaining it..
“hmm… … . It's true that warlocks are worse than wizards, but it's a different story for monsters like human flesh cooks who have lived for hundreds of years. As far as I know, the human meat chef, along with Millieu, is the one who divides the underworld of Gallos..”
Millieu. It was actually a word I hadn't heard in a long time..
In the past, when I visited Back Port with Joe and his group, I briefly heard about it, and the person there said that Millieu was a crime firm in Gallos..
a large criminal organization.
However, it was said that they were crude because they were closer to warriors than businessmen. It has its roots in thieves, robbers, and fallen nobles..
However, the human meat chef divided the Gallos backworld into two against Millieu. Oliver immediately took the new information to heart..
“Well, it's a good thing. It's a bisection. In reality, we are being pushed out by the human meat chef..”
“Is that so?”
“okay. Organizational power, business items, connections, and military strength are all being pushed out by the human meat chef and are gradually falling into decline. The human meat chef himself is an excellent warlock, but not only that, he also runs a powerful organization centered around himself... It could be said to be an empire in the back world of Gallos..”
It's an empire in the back world... … . The expression was quite heavy. In particular, it seemed heavier when it came out of Kevin’s mouth..
“You know very well.?”
“I got some up-to-date information from someone I know in the military..”
“Is there a reason for that??”
“Well... I wonder if something like this will happen?”
Oliver tilted his head at the unknown words. What was more questionable was whether that wasn't really a lie..
"Anyway, if you're the younger sister of a human meat chef with that kind of organization, it's not like you can't do anything. She has enough money and connections... … . Maybe with her powers of black magic she could give the wizards what they wanted..”
“What is there??”
“What could a wizard want? Things like knowledge, power, and youth. Black Hands are beings that have lived for hundreds of years, so it wouldn't be strange if they had something that wizards long for..”
It didn't seem so wrong..
There may be people like Theodore who are interested in knowledge of black magic..
“Anyway, this is a pretty big deal. The Black Hand, which operates below the surface as much as possible, has officially become active... … . No matter how magical the tower is, this fact cannot be hidden for long. This must be announced publicly, and we must join forces with other forces to discuss this matter. The government of Gallos, the city of Landa, the central government of the kingdom, the Church of Pater, etc..”
As Kevin recited each organization, the seriousness of the issue became even more apparent..
“Since we need to talk organically with various organizations with different personalities, you will probably take care of it..”
“Are you an elderly person??”
“The archives have a wide network and high authority, making them perfect for handling sensitive issues like this. Especially when the Magic Tower has its share of sloppy corners. If you say you won't take it, I don't know, but if Master says you volunteer, I will actively cooperate..”
"ah......."
‘Master will take charge of the work, so your problems won't be easily touched... … . You're lucky.”
‘ah… … . It's kind of ironic. Looks like something pretty bad happened, and I'm indebted to it..”
“That's the way everything is in the world. When a war breaks out, arms factory owners make money, and when a new infectious disease breaks out, pharmaceutical companies make money. Even during the Great Depression, people who sold short made money..”
Oliver was troubled for a moment by Kevin's remark, which seemed to have a lot of authority..
Of course, the world is complex, and no matter what happens, it could be either misfortune or good luck for someone. That's why it's interesting and fun.
Oliver asked.
“then… … . What do you think will happen next? professor.”
“what?”
“The Life School betrayed the Magic Tower, and the Life Alchemy Department went one step further and was eaten by the human meat chefs. What do you think will happen in the future??”
Kevin thought deeply with his characteristic serious expression. As if he couldn't judge easily either..
“hmm… … . Well, I haven't experienced anything like this before. However, we can predict what will happen to the School of Life..”
“what happens?”
Just as Kevin was about to answer, a sound like a hand hitting a tent was heard from outside..
Right in front of the soundproofing magic, Yareli collected magical power in her hands and knocked on the soundproofing magic..
It wasn't a physical barrier, but she called Oliver and Kevin this out of respect..
Kevin dismantled the soundproofing spell upon her appearance..
“What's going on?”
“I have something to tell you. professor. First of all, the Archive said he would use the portal to take all the wizards here to the hospital he owns. Please prepare for both of you..”
“Good choice. It will be easier to treat and control people if they are brought to the hospital... … . By any chance, I haven't heard anything else.?”
“sorry. Terrence and others, including me, were soon kicked out of the tent. I heard you had something important to say..”
"Ah, I see. Right now, let's get ready.”
Just as Kevin was about to move, Oliver stopped him..
“professor. Can I ask you something??”
“what?”
“There's a place I'd like to visit for a while. Can I stop by there??”
Kevin frowned at the question, which was not like Oliver, but was like Oliver. I don't think I brought this up just to do some sightseeing... … . she wondered where.
“Where do you want to go??”
“It's an orphanage.”
