Genius Warlock-Episode 432
432. News (2)
“Yes, if it's not a problem, can I return to Landa first??”
In response to Oliver's question, Kevin put down the documents he was holding on the desk..
“······Why? Did something urgent happen??”
Oliver thought for a moment and shook his head at Kevin's question..
“hmm······. It's not urgent.”
“Something happens. Can you hear what it is??”
Oliver nodded and immediately explained. This is what I heard from Jane about Forest’s Area X redevelopment project..
Kevin tilted his head after listening to the explanation step by step..
“Is it strange? It's been a while since we left Landa, but does this make sense? Area X redevelopment??”
It was a reasonable question. Because it was Randa’s common sense that Area X was an area that could not be redeveloped. The reason is because the anti-development committee gave up on suppressing the city..
Oliver offered his opinion on this cautiously..
“Maybe it has something to do with me.”
“with you?”
“Yes, it just so happened that I asked permission from the anti-development committee. So I can do some construction... About one or two buildings..”
Kevin, who was quietly listening to the story, rubbed his temples as if he had a headache..
It seemed like a somewhat exaggerated reaction, but it was indeed a reasonable one..
What Oliver was saying now was breaking one of Landa's old laws..
“······I'd like to ask for more details, but I'll stop for now. I think the story will be long.”
“thank you I'll explain later.”
“Please be sure to ask... Well then, you are thinking of going back to Landa and working on that redevelopment project.?”
“No, I just want to see what you're talking about..”
“check?”
“yes······. I'm curious and a little frustrated, so I wonder if I'll get better if I focus on other things... I'm sorry, but could you please allow me to do so??”
Oliver is willing to abandon his official duties and leave simply out of personal curiosity and whim..
However, Kevin did not let Oliver's words go to waste, but listened to each one of them seriously and considered them..
It was a natural reaction. Kevin knew Oliver and his attitude toward missions. He may not have been aware of it, but he could have been in a rather serious condition..
When I thought about it that way, the conclusion became simple..
“Go.”
“Are you allowing it??”
“Because you don’t have anything to do right now..”
“thank you.”
After the disturbance caused by the human meat cook, Oliver, who had been strangely depressed, showed his joy..
From that look, Kevin was convinced that his choice was right..
“I'm just asking, just in case, how do you plan on getting back??”
“I'm thinking of going back to portal magic. I planted a portal magic in the residence where I stay for retreat or quick return..”
“As expected, it's a good thing you asked. Don't use the portal magic, go by boat, even if it takes time..”
Oliver let out a sigh of regret. It wasn't difficult, but I wanted to go back quickly..
“Can you ask what the reason is??”
“Your official documents say you are abroad on a ship. how did we get here?”
“I came by boat.”
“therefore. But what happens if you wander around Landa without any record of your entry??”
“······Are you serious??”
“In some cases... At least it can be annoying. Because you are both a magic tower employee and a warlock. So no matter how urgent it is, it’s right to follow the rules.”
Oliver nodded. That was definitely true. he had to follow the rules.
“Yes, I understand. Well then, let’s go by boat. Can I move right now??”
“as soon as? ······Well, do whatever you want. However, Yareli will be disappointed..”
“Mr. Yareli.?”
“Uh, I said I was thinking of going to see you once I'm done being a hero. Asking where you are... If you have some free time this evening, how about we meet up? It seems like you have something to say?”
Yareli says he wants to meet her. Oliver was worried. One, about 0.9 seconds.
“You'll be back in Landa, so can we meet then??”
Oliver said in the cool way he did when he left Jane and her steak alone at the hotel..

“Phew······.”
Late evening time. Yareli entered the guest room provided by Loculi University, closed the door, leaned back, and sighed. That too very deeply.
That meant I was tired. Both physically and mentally.
To be treated like a hero without doing anything. There was no hardship like this..
The only thing he did was to follow instructions when a riot broke out and was ambushed by Desihe Durance..
If it weren't for Zenon who showed up at the right time, it would have been extremely dangerous..
Nevertheless, he was praised as a hero by the public..
He is a hero who defeated numerous warlocks, figured out the plan of the human meat cook, and saved the citizens..
It was really uncomfortable.
It was Zeno who discovered the plan, and it was Zeno who made it known. He definitely didn't mean to, but he felt like he got his balls stolen and he felt really bad..
“Please wait a moment······.”
Yareli said to himself as he remembered Zeno, who returned to Landa first..
Kevin said something happened, and it was really sad. How can our paths diverge like this just a few hours apart?.
I wish I had waited a little longer, but what's the big deal?.
‘no······. Maybe it's fortunate.’
Yareli thought for a moment and muttered to himself. That's right, there were so many things Yareli wanted to ask Zeno and say to him right now..
For example, how do you know Puppet and why did he tell Zenon about the human meat chef's plan? I wanted to ask what you know about puppets and whether the Archive really killed the human meat chef and Zenon didn't do anything..
Besides that, I also wanted to say thank you..
Because I couldn't say thank you when I was saved from Dejihe and other enemies. And I wanted to apologize for greeting you late..
‘It was also presumptuous to say that there would be no place for me to go.······.’
Anyway, there was so much I wanted to say to him. So he might as well gather his thoughts now..
It was truly bizarre.
I was born into the Ice Eye family, and since becoming the family's successor in place of my father, I have made many calculations when dealing with people, but now it feels a little different. What should I say? Would you say you're not that tired? rather━
━Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
A communication sound suddenly rang. Yarelli took out a communication device hidden between her breasts.
It was a direct secret communication device with my grandmother, and was custom-made by Hermes for a large sum of money..
When I received the communication, I heard a clear tone commensurate with the cost spent..
[How are you??]
“yes. Grandmother... As you said, I am carrying out my schedule well..”
It was like that. The reason Yareli imitated the hero even though she didn't feel like it was because of the orders of the magic tower and her grandmother..
To enhance the reputation of the Magic Tower and the Ice Eye family..
[Yes, I heard you. I'm doing well.]
Tilda Iceeye, Yareli's grandmother and the original master of the Skadi School, gave a brief, dry compliment in her characteristic cool voice..
It was something you only heard when you achieved results that exceeded expectations..
[Thanks to your activities, our family and school are receiving attention again in the Magic Tower..]
Yarely nodded and answered mechanically..
She may be a cold-looking grandmother, but she has her whole heart..
To restore the glory of the family and school.
After the Ice Eye family moved to Landa, they became a prestigious family thanks to their long history of activity, but that is just a story from the past..
Before it became an archive, its status was greatly reduced when it was forcibly incorporated into the Elemental School by Merlin's hand, and it is now down to one of several noble families..
Thanks to her unique patience and cold reason, she pretended to be okay, but her grandmother, Tilda Iceeye, made it her life's greatest goal to escape this situation and enjoy glory again..
That's why he went so far as to throw away his son who didn't live up to his expectations..
Yareli, looking back at the current situation, asked a question with a cold head..
“But grandma. What brought you here? If she had anything to say, she would have contacted me through the university.?”
Indeed, it was. It was decided not to use secret communication devices unless they were absolutely necessary for their intended purpose. If the tail was long, you could be caught..
[I contacted you here because I had something to check. Regarding a separate mission..]
“what······?”
[Are you sure you don’t know? About Dave.]
Yareli thought, Oops. In addition to being dispatched to Loculi University as an advance guard of the Magic Tower and contributing to his achievements, Yareli had one more mission..
Watching Zeno, none other than Merlin's disciple, and reporting if there is anything unusual..
There was a lot to talk about. From Zeno's fight with the son of an angel to something about puppets. But the most important thing to report is-
“-I have nothing to report right now..”
[······okay?]
“yes.”
When Yareli answered firmly, the old woman on the other end of the communication device did not question her further..
Well, Yarely was already doing his job well enough..
In the end, Tilda Iceeye, the original master of the Skadi School, said thank you for your hard work and disconnected the communication device, and Yareli also turned off the communication device and put it back in its original location..
Yarely asked himself a question. Why did you hide this information from her grandmother?.
As if there was an answer to that, Yareli went to the dressing table in the room, took off the glasses he was wearing, and looked in the mirror..
My own eyes filled with cold.
Originally, this couldn't have been possible. Looking at the mirror with an out-of-control magic eye. Because he could even freeze his own eyes.
However, surprisingly, Yareli looked into his own eyes for the first time since awakening..
My eyes were stabilized..
Ever since Zeno placed his hand on his head..

Jingling- Jingling-
Forest Restaurant located on Street 30, Area T.
When I opened the door to the restaurant, I heard a familiar bell ringing even though it had been a while..
It was quite nice. Even though it is quite old, this bell sound remains unchanged and consistent..
However, something was changing. For example, it was a very crowded restaurant..
Business used to be good, but things were different now..
In the past, business was good in Zone T, which is the workers' residential zone, but now business was good beyond the zone..
1, 2The proof is that the tables are packed tightly together on each floor. Thanks to this, the employees who always came to greet customers as soon as the door opened could not come out..
That's how busy it is.
So Oliver entered the restaurant alone without guidance from Al or any other employee..
“that······. no dave?”
“uh? Wait a minute, wait a minute... I think that's right?”
“What is it? Why is it like that??”
“What disease did you have??”
1Some of the guests in the hall on the first floor whispered when they saw Oliver's face..
They were all working in this area as fixers, mercenaries, information merchants, brokers, etc. who did business with Forest, and they all looked quite surprised when they saw the face of Oliver, who left for Gallos and returned here after a long time..
It wasn't that I didn't understand. Oliver has lost half his face due to the effects of the meat cook's starvation disease. He was able to avoid looking like a corpse because he slept well on the way..
At the mention of Dave, other guests also turned their heads towards Oliver, and soon the businessmen and capitalist guests in the hall on the second floor also looked surprised when they saw Oliver..
However, Oliver paid no attention to those gazes and moved forward in search of Forest..
I've already received similar looks several times on the boat back to Loculi University... However, even then, there were some people who were concerned..
Those who saw the skinny Oliver and were glad that an opportunity had come, or who glimpsed some kind of possibility. They rejoiced as if they had found a weakened enemy..
“Mr. Dave?”
2As he entered the hall, someone came to greet Oliver..
It was an egg. Al, the ace waiter at Forest Restaurant who always greeted Oliver..
He rarely showed his emotions and maintained a professional demeanor, but when he saw Oliver with his cheeks sunken, he became uncharacteristically agitated..
Oliver spoke as usual as if it was no big deal..
“hello. egg······. Forest, can I meet you??”
