437. I am? (1)
“Pierce. How about it??”
A skinny druid wearing a green cotton cloak opened his mouth..
He dyed not only his hair but also his beard green, and he looked very wise..
“Sheamus... That kid got hit, right?.”
Pierce, who was walking one step ahead, stopped and answered..
He was as big as a bear and had a rough appearance, but the intelligence typical of a druid shone in his eyes..
“Although it was different from what I had researched, at least one skill was real..”
Pierce's companions, a long-bearded druid and a female druid wearing a leaf cloak, nodded without saying a word..
Pierce is one of the top ten druids when it comes to close combat..
He was not just strong, but had the skills, intelligence, and experience to teach others. The one who taught Sheamus was none other than him..
If he admitted it, I had no choice but to trust the other two..
“Well, it was a light attack, but I blocked your attack..”
“You don't need to be considerate.”
Pierce shook his head. His eyes were very cool and calm..
“Regardless of whether you look at me or not, I’m not an ordinary guy..”
“······is it?”
Pierce nodded, recalling the first time the attack was blocked..
On the quarter staff.
Pierce was a little surprised at that time, but it was still within the expected range. That's why he tried to add additional attacks..
To check the skills of the guy who beat Sheamus. However, I soon quit..
At that moment when he turned his head and answered, the Druid's unique sense was activated..
‘······I just got lucky.’
Pierce felt something ominous at that moment. He couldn't tell exactly what kind of ominousness it was. At least we didn't have to fight like this..
“······What is certain is that this guy is the one who took down Sheamus..”
“Are the other guys who ran away here dangerous??”
the long-bearded druid asked. It may have been a bit surprising, but it was indeed a reasonable reaction. Their goal was to capture the escaped Enjoyment, not kill them..
“Although there are people with similar skills to Sheamus, there are no people stronger, so it would be dangerous. No, it's actually worse. Sheamus was the best in terms of potential..”
A female druid who was listening quietly added a word..
“That's a big deal. In addition to tracking down Eve, we also need to find the whereabouts of Eve. The other one was already taken away by Heimdall.?”
“First, let’s watch and talk with the city first. Just in time, I brought something to negotiate with. If I can't decide, I'll have to force myself to move..”
Everyone nodded at the long-bearded druid's words and went back on their way..
And the Druid Enjoyers who were watching the scene through the World Tree disconnected all at once and returned to reality and had a conversation..
“swimming······. What did these old people bring to make them so confident??”
“don't mind. What could the humans who were stuck in the forest bring back even if they tried? At most, berries or herbs grown in the forest? We also have something to deal with with the city, right? To something greater?”
The other druids nodded at what one enjoyment druid said. The negotiation card that was decided through a long discussion was something that Landa, who was greedy for new technology, could never refuse..
“Rather, Pierce... What do you think of that??”
Everyone was silent. Everyone I was talking to was disgusted with the poor and barren Greenland, and hated other traditional and reformed druids who enforced harsh training, but on the other hand, they recognized them..
They were people who reached a higher state through training that was greater than theirs..
Pierce was proudly included in it..
It was quite dangerous for him to acknowledge Dave's skills as a problem solver..
Of course, there was no way. The number of Enjoyers gathered in Area.
If this number hit all at once, it was worth it. Even the guy who defeated Sheamus.
However, that could have disrupted their plans to establish a home in this city. If the scale of the fight increases too much and attracts the attention of the city, it could ruin future relationships..
In order to prevent such a situation, you would have to cleanly cut off its head or kill it in a remote place, but that wasn't easy either..
His skills were outstanding to cleanly kill him, and it wasn't easy to lure him to a remote place now that he had an organization..
Then, a woman raised her hand. It was a female druid who infiltrated as a singer at a bar in District T..
“Can I take time out of my busy schedule to come here and give an opinion??”
“······What?”
“In short, it's difficult to confront him head-on and it's a pain in the ass.?”
“······Well, right? If you fight head on, you will take some damage, but you can win. There are over a hundred druids..”
“In addition, we can also recruit gangs that are not affiliated here. I've already contacted a few places..”
“Well, all you have to do is create a justification for a head-on confrontation..”
“justification?”
“okay. If you do well, you can win even without fighting. Anyway, first, let’s touch on poetry..”
***
“Are you finished with your work??”
Oliver, holding a calorie bar in one hand, asked Merley a question..
Merlin instructed his wooden doll-golem to move a large amount of documents into his personal office and also to bring a large number of books outside..
For reference, the books brought outside were the personal research diary of the human meat cook and the black magic books he collected. The number of books amounted to hundreds of books, and most of them showed signs of age..
not bad. There was a time when books on magic or black magic were more valuable the older they were. This was even more so if the owner was a big man like Fingers..
Merlin answered, standing next to a wall of books..
“It's starting now. I was treated like a hero, so now I have to act like one. It's harder to deal with things than to make them... But what are you eating??”
“Oh, sorry. This is a military calorie bar. I'm hungry.”
“There's nothing you can do if you're hungry... Anyway, I'm busy. In addition to this, I also have to finish my life school work, but I never thought I would be this busy at this age... Well, are you similar? Although it means something different to me. Is the business worth doing??”
“I don't do anything.”
“okay?”
“yes.”
Oliver nodded in response. He was not humble. Oliver literally had nothing to do..
That's because Forrest was in charge of major internal and external tasks, and other minor tasks were handled by the fighter crew, select people, mercenaries recruited by Forrest, and troubleshooters..
In the last two weeks since the operation began, all Oliver has done is make one move in negotiations with an unaffiliated gang syndicate..
Negotiations broke down and the initial firepower ended..
The non-affiliated gang hesitated due to the unexpected firepower, and Marie and Joe did the rest. Those two have become so strong that it is difficult to find an opponent even in Area X..
“For something like that, he doesn't seem to be in a very good mood. Do you hate making money??”
For a moment, Oliver almost answered, 'Because there's nothing more to do than I thought.'.
Whatever it was, it was something I took on to clear my mind of all the random thoughts. But I couldn't say it out loud..
Even considering Forrest, Joe, and Marie, who risked their lives on this matter. that wasn't polite.
Oliver took out Big Mouth from his belt..
Big Mouth puffs up like bread dough as usual.
Oliver asked Big Mouth a favor..
“Big Mouth. Could you please swallow a book over there??”
Oliver asked, pointing to books and research journals that were as high and thick as a castle wall..
Thanks to Merlin's wooden doll-golem, the castle walls were growing bigger..
Even if you look at it, it's an excessive amount. Big Mouth glared at Oliver with contemptuous eyes, and Merlin saw him..
“Doesn't that seem like a stretch? I despise you with my eyes. I think the same way. How can I eat all this by myself??”
“no. it's possible.”
“why?”
“I made him fight with two other gluttons yesterday. Big Mouth won, swallowing them both and improving his abilities. There is no change in size. Anyway, the big mouse can swallow everything..”
“Oh my god... A lot has been done while I was away..”
Oliver nodded, thinking it was a compliment. He actually did a lot of things.
The biggest achievement was making internal parts and attaching them to the toy doll..
Big Mouth eventually began to swallow the books piled up like a castle wall, as Oliver had asked, and Oliver spoke again with Merlin, who had returned..
For example, what happened to Kevin, Yarely, and Terence when they returned to the Mage Tower?.
“Everyone returned safely and is doing well. I went to the front line and came back as a hero. You too could be treated as a hero... but do not participate?”
“ah······. I am okay.”
Oliver answered, thinking of the human meat chef. Because the words he said tormented Oliver like the hunger that tormented him..
As Oliver ate a calorie bar to soothe his growling stomach again, Merlin spoke up..
“If it's okay, it doesn't matter. Well then, can we just get to the point??”
“yes?”
“I'm scared because you keep wasting time.”
“······.”
“I don't know what you're taking so much time to talk about. Now, tell me. You asked me to take care of the devil's book because you want it, so why are you holding back so much??”
“Tiga... Did you wake up?”
“Most people don't know what's on your mind, but sometimes it's as obvious as a child's. Now is the time. Did you have any accident??”
“that······. no.”
“Well then, but for what? tell me. Because I'm scared.”
“This might be a somewhat rude question..”
“It's better to be rude than to be uncomfortable..”
When Merlin said that, Oliver opened his mouth..
“······Sir, have you ever conducted human experiments on Professor Kevin’s family? Just like they do at Mattel..”
Merlin's emotions wavered for a moment. I couldn't see his emotions, but I could tell because his eyes were shaking..
“······yes.”
“······And I understand that he quit after becoming an archive and took on Professor Kevin as his student. Can I ask why you did that??”
“hmm······. Somehow I feel like déjà vu. When you left for Wineham... At that time, you said The important thing is not now.”
Oliver also remembered those words. You said it confidently back then, but you're asking me again now. I was truly embarrassed. However, I still asked a question.
“Oh, of course I'm not blaming you. However, I want to know. Why did I suddenly become curious again... I don't think it's just that?”
That was correct. A very accurate answer. Oliver closed his eyes for a moment to think, then opened his mouth..
“I knew it then, but I don't know it now..”
“what?”
“me.”
