Genius Warlock-Episode 364
"-Edith?”
Oliver called Edith with a guess, and the guess was correct..
Edith's voice was heard over the phone..
[okay. grow.]
“hello? What's going on??”
[Why? Isn't it because the guy who went on a trip abroad with my own money didn't even show up, let alone give me a gift??]
“Is there anyone like that??”
Oliver asked sincerely, and Edith also answered sincerely..
[You. You fucking bastard.]
“Me? ah… … . sorry. Edith. However, I didn't go on a trip abroad, I went to a conference.-”
[-In my eyes, don't make excuses that aren't worth it. In the end, an academic society is about magicians sucking each other's butts for being smart and drinking alcohol.?]
Edith's uniquely caustic words reminded Oliver of the conference held in Lake Village..
“hmm… … . It seems similar.”
[Look. My stomach hurts. You took my money and went to such a nice place. It's even more frustrating if you don't even say thank you after you leave. In the end, I only saw my money..]
“sorry again. I was out of my mind and made a mistake..”
[Now do you understand how much I hurt??]
Oliver said yes. After thinking about it, I felt like I made a big mistake..
Although Oliver went to the Magic Tower's expenses, Edith, at Oliver's request, provided money for the Magic Tower students to attend the conference..
But it was definitely rude not to say thank you after returning..
“sorry again. Edith. Is there any way for me to apologize??”
Then Edith opened her mouth as if she had been waiting..
[Well, let's meet right now..]
“Now?”
[okay. I know you're busy writing your thesis, but I don't care about your situation..]
“Oh, you don't have to worry. Today’s portion is roughly… … . But how do you know that I am writing a thesis??”
Oliver asked curiously. Indeed, it could be said to be a reasonable question..
Oliver wrote and submitted a paper to the Magic Tower because it was internal information from the Magic Tower..
Edith was kind enough to answer right away..
[That's a stupid question. Do you think I made it to this point? I've got that pipeline.]
“You're amazing..”
Oliver once again praised me with sincerity. To Oliver, this resourcefulness itself felt like magic..
[Because I know that I am great. Come out. It seems like everything is done for today... … . Well, even if it wasn't over, I would have told you to come out..]
“Yes, I understand. I'll leave right away. By the way, may I ask what you are calling me for??”
[I want to see the face of the ungrateful guy... … . Also, I have something to say to a guy who doesn't know that grace..]
“I have something to tell you?”
[okay. But this isn't a story to talk about over the phone, so just shut up and come to the angel's house..]

“Whick! The car is huge?”
Area O, Street 66. A young man on the so-called Street of Joy whistled in admiration.
The vehicle the young man saw was a special order vehicle for a field trip that Philip gave to Oliver as a gift, and although it was not as flashy as Landa's regular vehicles, it had an attention-grabbing presence..
Everyone on the street who saw the car assumed that Oliver was a wealthy person with exceptional taste, and as proof of this, some of the women who were soliciting customers on the terrace of the building or on the street sent messages to Oliver's car..
Of course, the car resembled its owner so I didn't even glance at it and just passed by..
Rather, the owner behind the wheel of the car was more concerned about other things. For example, a situation on the road..
“Was Landa Road originally this easy to drive on??”
Oliver muttered as he watched the vehicle slowly clearing the way..
It's been a while since I've driven a car in Landa, but somehow it seemed to be friendlier than I expected..
‘Apparently, everyone was on edge when they took the taxi..’
I remembered Oliver getting in a taxi..
In fact, perhaps because there were a lot of cars in Landa, the roads were in a state of chronic anger and conflict, making driving conditions quite difficult..
Even truck drivers and taxi drivers who make a living from driving have a hard time staying sober and have to resort to alcohol..
But strangely enough, everyone kindly made way for Oliver..
‘that's interesting.’
The reason was unknown, but Oliver expressed his gratitude for the consideration and drove quickly, arriving at his destination, Angel's House, faster than expected..
It's an old-fashioned rectangular building with a red roof..
When Oliver opened the door and entered, he noticed an interior that was similar to the last time he visited but had changed..
A floor covered with thick exotic carpets, a bar filled with colorful magic spells, a quiet resting area, etc..
However, there were some things that did not change and remained the same. The core employees of the store were like that..
“Dave! It's been a while!”
A female employee wearing a suit that looked like it would be hot and wearing fake wings on her back greeted Oliver as soon as she saw him..
Then the other employees greeted Oliver, and naturally, even the customers inside the store turned their gaze towards Oliver..
When they saw Oliver, they talked among themselves with emotions such as surprise, excitement, and surprise..
“That's Dave?”
“okay,”
“But was he the type of person to come to a place like this??”
“I don't know, I've heard that he's an unpredictable guy. You never know.”
“The rumor that he was a regular here was true..”
“I heard you have a rich lover like Sheamus, pink hair.”
“If you have pink hair……."
“Yeah, that girl from the Sisterhood.”
People increasingly speak incomprehensible language. At a time when Oliver was wondering whether he should resolve the misunderstanding, a female employee said,.
“I've been doing well so far?”
“Yes, I'm fine. How have you been ladies??”
When Oliver asked politely, as he had learned here, the employees giggled as usual and replied that they had a good time..
“It looks like Dave remembers well what we taught him. I'm very happy.”
What they taught us was etiquette, manners, and etiquette, including makeup techniques..
"hmm… … .well. I do not know.”
“Oh my, what's going on??”
“As you mentioned a while ago, I complimented a woman, but the response wasn't particularly positive..”
Oliver said, thinking of Yareli. He obviously told me she was pretty, as I had learned, but his response was not very good..
Angel's House employees expressed feelings of doubt.
“really?”
“yes. The woman told me to compliment her for being pretty regardless of whether she was actually pretty or not, so I told her that, but it wasn't a very positive response.."
“if… … . Did you add that too? It's either actually pretty or not pretty..”
“yes.”
Oliver spoke confidently. The employees smiled after hearing the answer..
“oh my god… … .I want to hit you.”
They spoke with sincerity. Like when I taught etiquette, manners, and etiquette..
"What are you guys doing here now??”
“mama?”
A calm yet beautiful voice was heard from afar. It was none other than Elizabeth, the owner of Angel's House..
Even in her old age, she maintained her dignity and retained the beauty of her youth. As soon as she saw Oliver, she came over and greeted him politely, beaming with joy like any other employee..
“Mr. Dave. Long time no see. How have you been??”
“I had a good time. How have you been, Elizabeth??”
“Yes, I've been fine... … . You are looking for Edith.?”
Elizabeth asked, as if she had already figured out the situation. When Oliver answered yes, Elizabeth smiled softly and suggested politely, pointing to one side with her hand..
“Well then, let me guide you..”
“thank you Where is Edith??”
“You are in the VIP room… … . This is where I first met Dave..”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, you asked me to take that room on purpose..”
As she said, Elizabeth guided Oliver to the top of the fourth floor. At the entrance stood a muscular woman and a sharp-looking man I had seen before..
It definitely felt like déjà vu..
“It's amazing..”
Elizabeth, who was guiding us to the VIP room, suddenly said:.
“what do you mean?”
“When he first got here, Dave was a dark horse just making a name for himself, but within a few years he's become one of the biggest names in town. It's hard to survive in this city for even a few years..”
“I just got lucky.”
“If you survived due to luck, it can also be said to be your own skill. Even luck has its limits... … . If you don't mind, may I ask you a presumptuous favor??”
"What is it?”
“Could you contact Jane later? I think you want to meet Dave..”
“me?”
“Yes, but Dave has been busy lately, so I'm holding back, and it feels a little sad to see him from the side.."
Elizabeth said meaningfully. Apparently, she knew that Oliver was a member of the Magic Tower..
Maybe it's not that strange. She also dealt with the same city magnates as Edith..
Oliver answered.
“Yes, I will contact Miss Jane as soon as the urgent matter is over. thank you for your comment.”
As if satisfied with the answer, Elizabeth stopped in front of the most expensive-looking door with her signature benevolent smile..
Elizabeth spoke into the communication device at the door..
“Rock. Mr. Dave is here… … . Yes, I understand. Dave, you can come in..”
***
As soon as permission was given, Oliver opened the door and went inside..
There, a fat old man with a brighter complexion than before was sitting at the table. While wearing only panties and running shorts..
“It came sooner than expected.”
Edith said as soon as she saw Oliver..
“Yes, the cars are good at giving way..”
“concession? That's really strange. It's a rare virtue in Landa. Well, does it matter anyway? Thanks to you, I don’t have to wait any longer… … . sit down.”
Edith pointed to the seat across from us in her characteristic rough yet kind manner..
Oliver did as he was told and sat down across from Edith..
In front of a table piled with roasted suckling pig, turkey, steak, fruit basket, various pies, lobster, etc..
“By any chance, were you waiting for me??”
Oliver asked, looking at the completely untouched food..
“I don't have a conscience or a naivety, it's not like I don't have a clue..”
“What do you mean by that??”
“I'm not so stupid as to not be polite even to high-class people..”
Edith answered, but Oliver only tilted his head even more..
I didn't understand what was being said at all..
‘Is it because you entered the magic tower? … … Is it strange? You already knew, so why are you suddenly doing this??’
Oliver guessed at Edith's unknown attitude. I couldn't find the answer.
“Edith… … . Could I ask what brought you here??”
“hmm… … . First, let’s start with eating. The belly skin stuck to my back..”
Edith beat her protruding belly like a drum..
Then, without a moment of hesitation, he tore into the turkey leg and ate it..
Is this definitely true?.
You invited me, but I didn't know if it would be rude to get straight to the point..
‘I also didn't eat because I was writing a thesis..’
Oliver began eating with Edith, remembering his recent irregularity in eating..
This was probably the second meal..
Oliver brought the delicacies piled up on the table to his plate little by little and slowly but steadily put them in his mouth and tasted them..
The food tasted very great.
“Not only do I drink well, but I also eat well..”
Edith said when the food on the table was about half gone. In fact, as he said, Oliver ate well..
Edith, who had been eating ravenously at first, was soon full and put down her fork and knife, while Oliver continued to eat..
“Because it’s delicious.”
"That's unfair. It looks like you're eating more than me, but why isn't your stomach sticking out?.”
“I exercise every day. Every morning and evening.”
Edith frowned, as if she didn't like exercise, and started talking about something else..
"Is your thesis written well??”
Oliver replied as he continued eating..
“It's going well. We have decided on a topic and are securing materials smoothly..”
“But it's still okay... … . Why does it sound to me like things aren't going well??”
Oliver admitted in response to a sharp question..
“……Actually, I'm a little stuttering..”
“Yeah, it's surprising. I thought it would be easy to do that?”
“I think it's because various things have happened these days... … . Edith, how did you know that I was writing a thesis??”
"I told you earlier. There's a pipeline.”
“I'm curious how you created that pipeline..”
“This is one of my business secrets. Do you want me to teach you that? There was a thief worse than me here..”
“Oh, sorry..”
When Oliver obediently backed away, Edith made a strange expression and opened her mouth..
“Just bribe someone.”
“Buy it?”
“Yes, no matter how great an organization is, there are always people who are short on money or have tastes that they are embarrassed to tell others about. If you put a little effort into these people, sometimes you can get some good information. I had fun that way a few times..”
“I see... … . When did you make it? Have you ever interacted with the Magic Tower??”
“no. Last time I went to sponsor an academic society, I also talked to other people about investment. Then, I made it. Do you really think I went all that way to help just you? With this heavy body?”
Edith beat her stomach like a drum once again..
It didn't seem serious, but it was amazing..
In the meantime, I contacted other wizards and created a pipeline. It was amazing resourcefulness.
“However, this pipeline is not all-purpose and is weak in the details. They say they don't know what kind of paper you'll write... … . What are you writing now??”
“I am writing a thesis on the production and combination of artificial bodies and organs based on blood magic and life magic..”
“Sorry, I stopped listening after the blood magic. I know, explain it to me..”
Edith boldly made her request, and Oliver continued eating and calmly explained the paper he was currently working on..
After finishing the explanation, Edith said:.
“In other words, they use corpses like clay to create new arms and organs.,”
“Yes that's right.”
Edith thought seriously, despite the fact that she said she didn't understand, and asked an interesting question..
“Can I use it in another way??”
"What do you mean??”
“It is used to treat spinal injuries and arthritis..”
“well. I guess I'll have to research it in detail, but it seems possible in theory. There may be side effects from blood magic.."
“Ho... … .It smells like money..”
Edith said sincerely..
“well. First of all, it is questionable whether the market is economically feasible due to the high cost..”
“what?”
“I said it was questionable whether it was economically feasible. The cost of materials required for the work alone is in the hundreds of millions, and the manpower required for the work is also required to be of a very high standard, so I am not sure if it is commercially viable..”
Edith opened her eyes wide and expressed surprise..
“……oh my god. I didn't hear wrong. They talk about economic feasibility and business feasibility..”
“what mistake did i make?”
"No, it's just that it's surprising that an idiot who chose a question instead of 200 million a few years ago would say such a word. Is it economical or business friendly?.”
“Because value is relative, right? Even if I go back then, I will still choose the question..”
“Well, I wasn't bad either. Thanks to that, I also learned your real name... … . oliver.”
Edith said the last word emphatically..
“Is that so?”
“Anyway. Even though the name is not a big deal, it is important. You may find out more than you think."
“What are you talking about??”
“Like, you're the god of a cult in Weinham.?”
Oliver, who had been eating slowly and without stopping, stopped..
Oliver reflexively looked at Edith, and Edith also looked at Oliver, and their gazes crossed..
“That's why I called you.”
