Genius Warlock-Episode 449
449. sort out the situation (3)
After a pleasant conversation with the Angel House employee and Child, Oliver headed to the temporary office..
As I moved forward and was greeted by people and the streets bustling with redevelopment, I soon arrived in front of the office..
Squeak.
As Oliver approached the door to knock, the old door opened. It was James.
“James, have you finished talking already??”
“Ah, yes... Mr. Forrest explained it well. Nothing has been decided yet, but I have something to report to the boss..”
As James answered, his emotions took on a more satisfied tone than before. Forrest's offer seemed quite attractive..
It was fortunate. I was sorry for breaking my promise over and over again..
“Mr. Dave. If you don't have anything to do, can I go back to Weinham? I think I should tell my boss what I talked about with Mr. Forrest..”
“Oh, of course... I think I'll stay for another week or so, but if you don't like the offer, please let me know. Well then, I will keep my promise to the pharmacist first..”
“Thank you for your kind words... If you don't mind, could you tell me what's causing this? Is it as important as the Magic Tower or redevelopment? I'm just curious.”
I meant it. James was not trying to manipulate, but showed pure curiosity..
It was also a natural reaction. There was a history of sudden disappearance in the past, but basically, Oliver kept his promises to the point of being a bit foolish and did not pay much attention to profits and losses..
Unusual for a warlock.
Thanks to this, even though he postponed his appointment three times, I felt like he was doing that for some reason rather than making a fuss..
Oliver answered.
“There is someone I want to meet. You are a little far away.”
“swimming······. Because I’m a woman?”
James asked half jokingly. However, Oliver thought about it quite seriously and answered..
“hmm······. Oh, that's right, it's a woman..”
***
“It really doesn't suit me.”
Forest spoke to Oliver, who came into the office after talking with James..
Unintentionally overhearing a conversation with James.
“What are you talking about??”
“You're going to meet a girl. That's normal for men, but what you say makes it really weird..”
Oliver tilted his head. In some ways, it was similar to James' reaction. Even Joe and Al next to Forrest showed similar reactions. Why on earth?
“like that······. Is it strange??”
“I'm not swearing. It's just weird. Are you pretty? the lady?”
Forrest jokingly asked to change the mood..
But Oliver pondered just as seriously as before. Like when he remembers whether his gender was female or male..
“hmm······. I think it was pretty. I'm not sure right now.”
“her······. is it? I'm getting more and more curious about who that young lady is. As long as you're busy enough to come meet me..”
“I'm curious too.”
A meaningful answer. Forrest changed the story..
“······Well, okay. Should we stop chatting here and just talk about work? That's why I came here. Dave, you can sit there for a while, and Joe and Al can leave for a moment..”
CEOs will discuss important business issues among themselves..
Joe and Al immediately nodded and politely left the room, and Oliver sat down in the chair as Forrest had told him to do..
Forrest poured the alcohol he had prepared in advance into a glass and offered a glass to Oliver..
Oliver asked while taking a drink..
“Did the discussion with the city go well??”
“It was exactly what I expected.”
“It means it worked out well..”
Forrest nodded..
Yesterday, Forrest went to see the city's Minister of the Interior, Carver, and told him about Oliver's raid on the Enjoyment..
Carver asked what happened to that fact, and while explaining this, he also heard that Oliver had defeated Enjoyment..
Oliver said he would do it, and Forrest also believed in it, but when it came true, the shock was extraordinary. Not to mention Secretary of the Interior Carver..
So Forest immediately decided to take a chance..
They say that Oliver will somehow secure the druid's knowledge and provide it to the city..
Due to time and atmosphere, we did not hear the detailed method, but Forrest persuaded Carver with his faith in Oliver alone.,
Carver, who had established a personal network with Oliver, decided to believe Forrest's words..
The fact that the water had already spilled also played a role..
Therefore, Carver, who had one foot on this side, immediately gave advice to Forrest..
About the city council member's reaction and the impact it will have on the city..
Carver said the case was bigger than expected and city council members might be wary of Oliver..
They had their own plans for enjoyment, and the new class, superhumans who had accumulated wealth, was also emerging as a variable for Landa..
So, he said he would provide a space for you and told you to try to persuade the city council members yourself..
He said that as a city official who is close to Dave, he has limitations in persuading him..
Fortunately, it wasn't that difficult. First of all, there was a clear card here that would attract the attention of city council members..
“Did the druid knowledge work??”
“very.”
Forrest answered briefly and boldly..
With Carver's help, Forrest entered the city council members' meeting, greeted them, and immediately took the initiative..
Providing a copy of the druid knowledge obtained by Oliver..
Negotiations are usually accomplished slowly, confirming each other's needs through a natural flow, but sometimes it is necessary to deliver a shock, like an air raid. That was right then..
Forrest remembered.
The reaction of the city council member at the time. They were visibly agitated..
This was quite surprising.
In this city where the boundary between shade and sunlight is blurred and superhumans run rampant, the surviving city council members were unfazed by anything..
It could be said that a proper negotiation card was presented..
a city council member asked.
‘How did they secure this??’
‘I don't know. Because it was Dave who secured it. All I know is that Dave will soon have several times that much knowledge and will share it with the city..’
‘Why? That golden nugget?’
‘Because I promised to do so..’
Everyone was silent. I made a promise, so I keep it. This is a rare occurrence in Landa, which is sensitive to profit and loss calculations. However, hearing it from someone who actually lived that kind of life gave it a special weight..
The city council members were overwhelmed by Oliver at that moment..
There is nothing as scary as something difficult to understand..
It wasn't difficult after that..
Lowering your guard against Oliver and persuading him to accept you is.
“Can I ask how you persuaded me? I'm curious.”
“First, I explained the spirit of Landa's early days and the driving force behind Landa's development. Landa's development lies in acceptance, not rejection..”
“I guess that convinced me..”
“No, that's just packaging and the actual content comes later. He warned me that if I reject you, not only will the redevelopment of Area That means weakening the city.”
“ah······.”
“They also said that if you chase out outstanding talent because you feel burdened, they will only end up joining an outside force. That's also true... Most importantly, it also explained the current situation..”
“If the situation is... Are you talking about a druid???”
“okay. Didn't the Druids who were confined to Greenland and only trained to join the royal family? In the end, they too became greedy for the worldly world. The royal family and central council become that much stronger..”
Oliver nodded. Even the sponsor was Edward X, who had ties to the devil. Even Oliver saw something unusual..
“There is also a story that each school of wizards is making moves..”
“If it's a school... Are you talking about the magic tower??”
“No, not the Magic Tower school, but the original school that is their root. They're all out there.”
Ah, then Oliver understood what I meant..
The starting point of the Magic Tower was the branch of the original schools..
What I learned while studying the history of the Magic Tower in Merlin's study.
The current Magic Tower was created by the independent and united branches of the school..
That is, the Mjolnir, Skadi, Agni, and other schools of the Tower of Magic have roots in the Mjolnir, Skadi, Agni, and other schools outside of Landa, but are separate..
Now that I think about it, it was quite a deformed structure..
“Are they also interacting with the royal family??”
“It is at loggerheads with various powers, including the royal family, the central council, the nobility, and other foreign governments. We've interacted before, but more actively. No matter what happens, you can't help but be nervous..”
Forrest finished his drink and spoke again..
“But funnily enough, we also benefited. Thanks to you, I was able to convince you that I shouldn't use my power like you carelessly..”
“ah······. As expected, you are amazing. Forrest is.”
“Strictly speaking, city council members are great..”
Forrest gave the credit to his opponent, the city council members. It wasn't humility, it was sincerity..
“No matter how much we say here, it's useless if the people involved don't listen. Usually, when it gets to that point, everyone loses their temper, but the city council members calmly acknowledged this. It's corrupt, but it's proof that it's not corrupt..”
I roughly understood what you meant..
“By the time the story ended like that. The story ended well with the final decisive blow... But, is it really possible to turn the forest in the central part of Area X into a resource for Landa??”
***
It was like that. The decisive factor in persuading the city council members, who were on high alert due to the sudden incident, was the knowledge of the Druids and the development of the Area X forest created during the battle with Enjoyment as a resource..
“I can't say for sure that it will work, but I think it will work if I try..”
Oliver spoke calmly as usual. It would have been nice to get slapped in the face for answering like this in a highly competitive environment, but surprisingly, Forrest actually gained confidence..
Since I've said that, I've never failed..
“We have secured the knowledge of the Druids through Third, and there are Druid herbs and seeds taken by the corpse doll during the battle, so if we study and analyze them carefully, I think we can turn that forest over there into a Druid forest. Above all, I also have Sheamus..”
It was like that. Oliver planned to use the corpse doll, Sheamus, to make the central forest into a sanctuary for the Greenland Druids..
Because it would be a shame if the forest that was formed disappeared..
Child's education was also for this reason. In order to develop a forest using corpse dolls such as Sheamus and Bathory, it was necessary to be able to at least communicate with people..
“So I'm asking, did you find the corpse of a druid in the black market??”
Forrest shook his head in embarrassment..
“I'm sorry. It's not as easy as you think. We are looking not only at the black market but also overseas black markets, but someone is taking it all. Probably a reformed druid..”
Oliver wasn't surprised. They took not only the living Enjoyment but also the corpses. Druids are still Druids even when they die.
“Well, then there's nothing we can do..”
“Are you okay??”
“yes. It would be nice to have more hands, but we've already harvested a little bit of flesh..”
The flesh that Oliver was referring to was the 82 druids currently lying in the freezer..
While Third was reading the druid's knowledge or memories, Oliver took off pieces of flesh little by little..
“If you strengthen Sheamus with that, you might be able to manage the entire forest by yourself..””
It was just an assumption, but Forrest didn't listen to it..
There was nothing that Oliver said that didn't come true. Then, Forrest suddenly realized that his life had changed dramatically..
In fact, he was planning to spend the rest of his life doing little things, but when Oliver suddenly came to visit, he was given the opportunity to take on many big projects, leading district-level projects and negotiating with city council members.?
This is something we all dreamed of when we were poor employees. Forrest once again felt like he had to work harder..
“······Let's search harder for the druid's corpse. The price of corpses must have risen a lot thanks to the reformists, so there will be people who will try to supply them somehow..”
“thank you Oh, by the way, can I ask what you discussed with the pharmacist's assistant? You seem satisfied..”
“It's no big deal. The pharmacist seemed to be interested in druid herbs, so I suggested collaboration. After explaining this business... I'll have to talk more to find out the details, but I'll probably accept it. You said you wanted to study druid herbs, so it'll be hard to refuse..”
“That's good.”
Oliver was relieved. I planned to keep my promise with the pharmacist if necessary, but I wanted to move as quickly as possible..
Did you notice that feeling? Forrest asked.
“Oh, by the way, who is that woman you're trying to meet? She's personally curious.”
“My name is Joanna, and I am a paladin..”
“······.”
“Are you in the New World now?.”
Oliver answered without a moment of hesitation..
