Genius Warlock - Episode 440

440. half day (1)

“Something urgent has come up and I want to resolve it quickly..”

Oliver said so. As if he was saying that he would sort out all the troublesome things at once..

It could be said to be quite inappropriate..

No matter how outstanding Oliver was during ABC and how he defeated Sheamus, Enjoyment should not be looked down upon..

In particular, doesn't Oliver know the scale of it??

It was emotional and inappropriate..

But, funny enough, Forrest wasn't worried at all right now..

When Oliver said he would solve it, I had an endless belief that it would really be solved..

It's so reliable that I feel like I can at least guarantee it..

‘No, no..’

Forrest suddenly came to his senses and shook his head..

I felt like if I continued like this, it would really tell me the location. Feeling was an important factor for brokers, but they did not work solely based on feeling..

Persimmon was just a spice, and the remaining main ingredient was reason. Cool and calm reason).

Especially when combined with politics..

“Phew... dave?”

“Yes, Forrest..”

“May I speak as a broker dealing with you??”

“of course.”

Oliver answered. At first glance, it looks the same as usual. However, Forest felt a little different from before and became anxious..

It wasn't just that he was upset and irritable. Oliver wasn't that kind of personality to begin with. However, that made me even more anxious..

Forrest, feeling tired, sat down on a chair and asked Joe if he had any alcohol..

“When I have a lot to think about, I need a drink. Is there, by any chance??”

Joe took out a silver hip flask from his pocket and held it out..

Forrest, who was in a hurry to drink, immediately opened the lid and quenched his thirst..

“Thank you. It's delicious... There are two things I didn't mention at the meeting. The first is the scale of enjoyment, and the second is the transaction with the city..”

“Is that the bad story??”

Forrest was surprised. I thought I was behind the meeting because I was smelling cookies and coffee... It gave me goosebumps in a different sense..

Well, because it was Oliver..

Forest opened his mouth with such understanding..

“First of all, let's talk about the scale of the enjoyment. Based on what I found out in Heimdall, the number is over 100. 118 people to be exact.”

“The numbers are detailed..”

“They say net sailing can't be compared to what it used to be. Anyway, the number of Enjoyers is 118. It's huge.”

Joe, who was standing next to him, nodded. He also participated in ABC and saw what he can do when Enjoyment comes together..

At that time, dozens of people turned the forest into a living fortress..

Even if it was prepared over a long period of time, it was amazing..

The city's new forces include the Security Bureau, Crime Firm, Fighter Crew, and even Pinkman. Even though four armed groups recognized by Landa united, they were unable to break through until Oliver arrived..

But now it's in triple digits.······.

Jora, who had become stronger through consistent training and gained confidence through numerous victories during the land purchase process, was also reluctant..

“In addition, non-affiliated gangs joined hands. It doesn't seem like the problem is temporary..”

“What do you mean by that??”

“It means that they seem to be trying to maintain a fairly long-term partnership. Well, it's not that I don't understand. As the Fighter Crew signed a firm contract with the Crime Firm, the presence of non-affiliated gangs in Landa was greatly reduced... It seems that out of a sense of crisis, non-affiliated gangs are trying to join hands with Enjoyment..”

It was quite an interesting story. Something Oliver would like. It was a chemical reaction of society..

However, instead of showing interest and asking questions like usual, Oliver just calmly asked for information about gang members he did not belong to..

“Non-affiliated gang information?”

“yes······. By any chance, don’t you know??”

“No, yes.”

Forest answered Oliver's question. Although he was taken aback by Oliver's unusual appearance, he immediately regained his composure and explained about gangs he did not belong to..

The main axis, size, composition, and even recent weapon purchase details..

Heimdall also recognized this..

After the explanation was over, Oliver organized the information Forrest had told him in his head and silently looked through the materials he had taken out..

“······.”

It was so calm that I actually felt nervous..

“Hmm, hmm. If there is a fight, it can be said to be more than during ABC. Enjoyment is enjoyment, but it seems like non-affiliated gangs are also determined. On the contrary. We don't have enough troops.”

Joe and Marie agreed in silence. What was lacking was what was lacking.

Oliver also nodded slightly as if he understood that..

“hmm······. Forrest?”

“okay.”

“Is that all you have to say? The scale of enjoyment. Is there anything else you want to say??”

“······There is none.”

“So, secondly, can you tell us about your dealings with the city??”

Forrest was speechless for a moment..

Because the flow of conversation was so fast, which was unusual for Oliver. When I talked to him, who was so curious, it felt like I was going around in a circle. Now it was the opposite.

However, what was even more surprising was Oliver's attitude of not reacting that way even after hearing the scale of the enjoyment..

As if it's no big deal.

Although full of doubts, Forrest decided to follow Oliver's story for now..

“Enjoyment turned its head. They realized that their image had been tarnished by Sheamus, so they offered the city a pretty big deal..”

“What did you suggest??”

“They said that if they were accepted and protected, they would become model citizens of Landa and actively cooperate with the city..”

“hmm······. It's not an area I'm familiar with, but it doesn't seem like a proposal the city would like.?”

“If it's just words, then yes. As proof, they handed over some of the druid knowledge they possessed, and said they would clear the forest and sell all products, including herbs, fruits, and trees grown there, exclusively to the city..”

Oliver nodded. Maybe. Knowledge was knowledge, but the herbs, fruits, and trees grown by Druids were also valuable items..

Basically, the quality was high, and there were some that only druids could cultivate..

“This is a proposal that cannot be ignored by a city that is always thirsty for new technologies and valuables. So they are also ignoring the reformist druids who tried to exchange the herb trade and the right to arrest enjoyment... You can see how shaken the city is by their proposals..”

Oliver, who heard the story, remained silent and did not move at all. just thinking.

At that time, Joe, who was listening quietly, asked a question..

“Did Heimdall tell you that too??”

“No, this is what Mr. Carver told me. He came and told me something vaguely. City council members seem very interested. So, he said he was thinking about how to build a more advantageous relationship... Maybe that's why they're pulling such stupid tricks..”

“If it's a masterpiece... Do you mean Nora??”

Forrest nodded..

“Yes, because they succeeded in provoking us..”

“If it's a provocation······?”

“Literally. They want us to attack first. Then, the city that was watching will have no choice but to intervene, and as a result, we will be able to settle down in Landa stably in a short period of time..”

It was just a guess, but Forrest became more confident when he said it himself..

There was nothing else but this.

Enjoyment was smart, they knew the greedy city wouldn't give up on them..

The reason you didn't accept it right away is just an old man trying to gain the upper hand..

Meanwhile, Oliver enjoys it.?

It was obvious that they would intervene within a day at the shortest or three days at the longest..

Oliver was an unofficial ally of the city, but the alliance was initially for profit. It was expected that the hand of enjoyment, not the fish that had been caught yet, would be raised..

If the city intervened like that, it was obvious that Enjoyment would blame themselves for being attacked and make excessive demands on the city and us..

The city has a high degree of autonomy,

We have a significant portion of area.

It was drawn like a picture in my head..

It was pretty amazing. How can you pull such a trick while the situation has worsened due to the rise of reformist druids and special laws?.

‘Even if I talk about Nora's work, I'll act like a fool... What is it? It's difficult to fight, and it feels uncomfortable to leave it like this. The city must also act untidy because it cares about its own food..’

The situation is more complicated than you think. As Forrest was struggling, Oliver opened her mouth..

“Forrest. I don't quite understand. Could you ask your opinion??”

“opinion? Something?”

“In other words, the reason it's difficult to enjoy now is because the city is involved, right? A city that wants druid skills and products..”

“That's right. That's the point.”

“Then, shouldn’t we give it to you??”

“······how?”

“Why not kill all the Enjoyment Druids and then give the books containing their knowledge to the city??”

“······.”

Forrest, Joe, and Marie. Everyone was speechless for a moment. Did Oliver ever say he was going to kill anyone? And all that?

“Forrest?”

“ah······. I'm sorry. But that's impossible.”

“Why??”

“Druids do not keep records of their knowledge. Just keep it in your head.”

“······Are you saying you just remember??”

“okay. It's a druid tradition. To prevent external leakage of knowledge. That's why Druids' knowledge is even more precious, and Druids who know it to their core don't record it. It's the same with enjoyment..”

“hmm······. It's a story that's in my head.?”

“······? That's right.”

Oliver nodded and got up from his chair. Like a person who found the answer.

“Forrest. Could you please do me two favors??”

“Something?”

“One is to tell me the location of the enjoyments I asked about earlier, and the other is to go to the city now and tell me. I'll take care of the Druid's knowledge and hand it over to you, so just watch me play Enjoyment..”

Oliver said such nonsense so calmly..

How can you be so reckless in trying to overcome this complicated situation involving three organizations?.

Forest, whose job it is to speak calmly and rationally, was speechless once again. There are so many things I want to ask and discuss.

“excuse me······. No, that is... How can you pass on the Druid's knowledge??”

“It's a bit long to explain, but there is a way. Please believe me.”

“······.”

Forrest couldn't say anything. Because I was overwhelmed by Oliver’s attitude upon seeing him for the first time..

I felt like I was drunk. The feeling of getting drunk after drinking a good drink..

“under······.”

“Are you okay??”

“are you okay······. I guess I drank a little too much..”

Forrest closed the lid on the hip flask he received from Joe and returned it to its original owner. I've had enough to drink..

“good. I believe it. I believe it. But the city won't believe it. They believe it a little... Because it’s beyond common sense..”

“it's okay. For now, all you have to do is appease it..”

“hmm?”

“As soon as Forest goes to town, I plan on playing Enjoyment. And I'll kill them all in half a day. If it's completely wiped out in less than a day, the city won't be able to say anything..”

Now I am beyond speechless and my mouth is open..

That certainly might be the case. It was hard to argue with killing all 118 Enjoyers and non-affiliated gang members in half a day. No, who can argue before that??

“I know you're strong, but is it possible??”

“Oh, you find it hard to believe..”

To be honest, it wasn't that. Although he didn't know why, Torest's surprise was that he believed Oliver..

That was the problem. No matter how much I knew of Oliver's skills, this was beyond common sense..

It shouldn't have been like this. A broker is a being who works with 95% reason and 5% feeling..

A minimum amount of evidence was needed.

“······I'm sorry, but can you show me? The basis for you to wipe out Enjoyment in half a day. If you show me the evidence, I'll do as you say. If you can do it, that's the best way.”

Oliver nodded. It seems like it's no big deal. Then he took out four pieces of paper from his pocket..

It was a piece of paper imbued with portal magic. When the paper was thrown on the floor, a purple portal bloomed in the air with a unique sound like the flapping of insect wings..

Heterogeneous portal. Four corpse dolls came out from there..

The corpse dolls that were repaired and remodeled just a few days ago - Duncan, Sheamus, Bathory, and the newly created Durance..

Duncan, who had completely transplanted Theodore's flesh, swung the tonfa made of flesh into the air.,

Sheamus, who had been transplanted with internal parts and corpse cells of a druid purchased from the black market, cried out loud.,

Bathory came out wearing a crackling human face vest and mask, leading about twenty wizard corpse dolls..

And Durance, who had been transplanted with Theodore's flesh and the Gallos mechanism, appeared, emitting magical steam from his body..

“How are you??”

Oliver asked, looking at Forrest. Oliver's black shadow swayed and surrounded the entire room..
