Genius Warlock-Episode 359
“To be exact, it's closer to a scouting proposal..”
Forrest said so.
Maybe it's not wrong.
Although the content written on the paper was a contract between Landa companies, including the crime firm, it was not an exact exchange contract, but a unilateral contract..
a kind of blank check.
"I don't know anything about accounting or finance, so why are you suddenly hiring me as an accountant or finance director? And while spending a ridiculous amount of money..”
Oliver asked, quickly reading what was written on the document. For reference, the proposals were not only companies run by crime firm directors, but also some famous companies in Randa..
“You read fast..”
“I used to do paperwork when I worked at Magic Tower, so it looks a bit familiar... … . Forest taught me well..”
Forrest chuckled..
Come to think of it, while Forrest was managing the fighter crew, Oliver offered to help him and taught him the basics of paperwork..
At the time, I wondered why this was happening all of a sudden, but now I think I understand. Now that I think about it, it was quite clever..
“Still, it's not obnoxious..”
“yes?”
“No… … . First of all, let me answer this: I really don't plan on hiring you as an accountant or finance director..”
“Then what is it?”
"It's just a formal position. The actual job is to lend money for your name and move it when they ask for it. Think of it like Sheamus."
Sheamus. When Oliver heard this name, he understood..
Not only the crime firm, but Yangji's business also had times when violence was necessary..
“After Ma Tower submitted a report to the city, some big people found out about your story. Solver Dave is actually a member of Magic Tower..”
“In such a short time?”
Oliver wondered how the city's security could be so lax. Forrest soon answered..
“It probably leaked out from the city council members. Everyone saw the report, and they probably remember you from your previous role in the ABC Gun. They all have connections... … . You know what I mean.?”
“I think I understand now. I can see why there are so many secrets in Landa and yet no secrets... … . But, don’t people think it’s strange? I belong to the Magic Tower?”
“Landa people. In particular, people here are more interested in profit than logic. If an accident occurs at an airship station, rather than saving people, they short sell the stocks of the relevant airship company. They place value on belonging itself, rather than on how you belong to the Magic Tower..”
“ah……."
The words were so outrageous and persuasive that Oliver was left speechless..
“Actually, it's only half a joke, if you read the report carefully, there's a description of you attached as well. The Magic Tower introduced you as a special experiment. Although he is a warlock, he is an experiment that was turned into a wizard and raised. I don't believe it but.”
Oliver looked through the file again. As Forrest said, the relevant information was contained on the back page. Even though Oliver was a warlock, he was taken as an experiment and turned into a wizard..
‘You don't mind? It's almost identical to what the old man said..’
Oliver thought and asked a question..
“Do people believe this??”
“What else don't you believe? The Magic Tower says so themselves. It looks complicated, but it's not that complicated. The important thing is that you are the problem solver with the highest stock price and are also a member of Magic Tower. That's why Crime Firm and other companies within Landa are trying to officially scout you. I figured that no matter how much I put in, I would be able to get more out of it..”
“hmm… … . By any chance, Forrest, do you want to tell me that I should join one of these??”
“No, it's not like I don't know your personality. How could that be possible? The reason I showed you that contract was to explain your value now..”
“It's my value?”
"okay. From now on, you can say that you are a walking medium-sized company..”
“uh… … . Thank you for the compliment?”
“It's not a compliment, it's a fact. It looks like you don't believe me..”
“It's not that I don't believe it, it's that it doesn't resonate with me..”
Oliver said, and he meant it..
Oliver was so strangely uninterested in himself that he did not feel or understand his achievements..
Forrest also worked with Oliver and understood his tendencies, so instead of getting frustrated, he calmly began to explain..
“There are four reasons why you say your value is a mid-sized company. I'll explain it to you, so listen carefully..”
“Yes, I understand.”
“First of all, you have perfect scores in terms of experience, strength, and credibility, all of which are essential for a problem solver. He's never failed a mission, single-handedly defeated Sheamus, and didn't do it even though he had 3,130.255 billion Randa available to him..”
“Are you talking about ABC? 'Cause it's not my money.”
“That's why it's amazing. Honestly, it's more crazy than amazing. It's over 3 trillion won, so what does it matter if it's mine or someone else's??”
“ah……."
“The second is because of the fighter crew..”
"Fighter crew?”
“It seems like you don't realize this. Fighter Crew Gun is also a rumor in the area right now..”
“Because of what?”
“from beginning to end.”
Forrest raised the index fingers of both hands..
“You convinced the entire fighter crew, negotiated with the Crime Firm and built a new relationship, and rapidly improved the fighter crew's skills. In particular, the biggest factor is improving the skills of the fighter crew..”
Indeed, it was so. Even before Oliver took charge, the fighter crew's reputation was high, but it was still at the level of a back alley gang..
However, after Oliver took charge of the fighter crew through a contract with Crime Firm, that evaluation gradually changed, and has now completely changed..
From back alley thugs to professional gangsters like Pinkman..
“Isn't this exaggerated??”
“No, I agree with that assessment to some extent. First of all, the skills of each member of the organization have improved significantly, and the organizational skills in combat have also improved significantly. To the extent that most mercenary units wouldn't even dare to hand out their business cards..”
Oliver couldn't say anything. When it comes to work, Forrest, whom I can trust, speaks from the heart..
“I'm asking out of curiosity, how did you train them? I knew you trained me, but this is so much more than I expected... … . Did you do some kind of magic??”
“It's not magic, it's a military wizard training, unit management, and tactics manual found in the library of the Pure Magic School. And I just trained based on my experience… … . I'm glad it works.”
Oliver said as if he was lucky. Forrest, who heard it, was dumbfounded..
Developing a strong organization meant more than simply having strong individuals..
From being a mere servant who can receive more money, to becoming a subject of power..
In other words, it is possible to rise in status..
But actually, Oliver wasn't interested in that at all..
‘Maybe it's because I have that kind of personality that I can end up like this. Don't you know what satisfaction is? In a way, you could say I'm greedier than anyone else..’
Forrest refocused on the situation at hand..
“Anyway, being able to grow an organization is great. I didn't tell you because it's against the rules, but some of the directors of the Crime Firm wanted to give you a job as a member of their organization. Raise me like a fighter crew.”
“Is that so?”
“okay. I didn't tell you about it because it would have a negative impact on my contract with you and the crime firm cooperation system... … . Being able to grow an organization is such an incredible ability. More than you are strong.”
“I understand what you mean… … . What is the third reason??”
“It's a sign called Magic Tower. Whether the sign is effective or not is a question later, but first of all, the sign itself is valuable. This is the decisive reason why Yangji's company approached you..”
“okay. What is the fourth and final one??”
"What did you say earlier? What I personally studied at the Magic Tower was general elemental school magic, general pure magic school magic, training and unit management for war magicians, books on the World Tree, herbalism theory, and the areas of golems and golem will.?”
“yes."
“To what extent have you learned it? Is it at a level that can actually be used and taught??”
“……There are differences in degree, but I think the basic level is possible..”
Oliver thought carefully before answering. Actually, I needed to study a little more about herbalism and golems, but thanks to some of Theodore's knowledge, I felt like I was okay to a certain extent..
After hearing Oliver's answer, Forrest clapped his hands. Because he confirmed that his guess was correct,.
“That's the most crucial reason. Because I learned valuable knowledge about the Magic Tower. Just knowing that kind of knowledge is wealth..”
“I appreciate the compliment, but it is not that great compared to wizards who have studied the subject professionally... … . And aren't there a considerable number of wizards from the Magic Tower??”
“That's right. In fact, many companies and capitalists are collecting wizards who have fallen from the Magic Tower and conducting their own research... … . But, your case is different. Because you have already proven yourself..”
“I think you think too highly of me.?”
"If I'm wrong, it's a shame, it's nothing for you to worry about... … . Rather, do you think you can stay in the Magic Tower? I can't judge because I don't know anything..”
“Sorry to break it to you, but I don't know anything either. However, one person said that according to the regulations, I had to leave..”
“Then, you don't have to go out..”
“yes?”
“Rules only work when there is peace. When there is no problem even if you just follow inertia without thinking..”
“Are you saying not now??”
“Of course not. It would not be surprising if the School of Life, which had the greatest reputation in the Magic Tower, virtually disintegrated. The Black Hand, which has always been active beneath the surface, has officially revealed itself... … . There is a distance from peace.”
Oliver, who was in the middle of that peaceful and distant place, nodded silently..
It was definitely a problematic issue to handle with inertia..
“If you're lucky, you might be able to stay in the Magic Tower... … . I'm worried.”
“what do you mean?”
"If you officially become a member of the Magic Tower, there will be restrictions on your work as a troubleshooter. The rules in the Magic Tower are quite strict..”
“Well then, you can stop..”
Oliver said as if it was no big deal. It was unfortunate, but I went into this place with that intention in the first place..
***
"......Okay then, let's just end this for now.."
The conference room of the Magic Tower’s administrative tower. a man said.
Around him are the Elemental School, the Pure Magic School, the Moirai School, the Alchemy School, the Space School, the Golem School, the Magical Mechanical Engineering School, etc. All the Grand Masters and One Masters of the Magic Tower, excluding the School of Life, were gathered..
“The incident that occurred in Lake Village this time is classified as a level 1 incident that threatens the Magic Tower. In addition to cooperating with the outside world, we will operate our own investigative network and declare a de facto war against the Black Hand Human Meat Chef faction, which is the main axis of this incident..”
The heads of each school as well as the heads of the administration silently agreed..
Since this incident happened, whether I liked it or not, I had no choice but to fight with the Black Hand Human Meat Chef faction..
“And currently, the School of Life will conduct an investigation to identify all those related to former Grand Master Theodore Brandt and limit the school's authority..”
Everyone was silent and agreed. No matter how much I feared death, I could not forgive the traitor who fell for the warlock's trick..
“However, the Life School will not be disbanded, until a new Life School takes order... … . I'll leave it to Archive Merlin. Does anyone have opposing opinions??”
No one opened their mouths to the man's question..
All of the people currently in the conference room were big figures who could be said to be the leaders of the Magic Tower, but Merlin, sitting quietly in one corner, was something more than that..
That's what an archive is in the first place..
When there were no opposing opinions, the man tried to end the meeting..
“Well then, this meeting is here-”
“-for a moment.”
A man raised his hand. he opened his mouth.
"There is one more thing I would like to point out. Zenon… … . No, it's about Dave..”
