Genius Warlock-Episode 452
452. new continent (2)
[Black Cube)]
In the midst of the countless crowds, Oliver wrapped his hands and chanted..
Then, the emotions extracted from the test tube swam delicately and quickly, forming a black film that wrapped around the front, back, left, right, top, and six sides of the corpse doll..
Using Black Shield, one of the basic black magic spells, the corpse doll was isolated in a crowd of people and exploded..
bang━━━!!!
The sound of a dull explosion rang out at the port in broad daylight at lunchtime..
Due to the unique terrible sound of the explosion and the shaking of the ground, all the people around were scared and either hit their butts or froze..
The middle-aged gentleman wearing a top hat, the young man wearing a shabby jacket, the boy alone without company, and the man who came with his wife and child were all the same at this moment..
It was a natural reaction. If Oliver hadn't stopped it in time, most of the passengers would have been killed or seriously injured..
Fortunately, thanks to Black Cube, we were able to avoid such a situation..
When the explosion subsided, the black cube that had fulfilled its purpose disappeared as if evaporating, and black smoke, characteristic of black magic, slowly rose into the sky..
Everyone who was busy just a moment ago froze and looked at the scene in silence, then slowly turned their heads towards Oliver..
Countless gazes pouring in.
Oliver opened his mouth, feeling like he had to say something..
“hmm······. Are you all okay??”
Then someone answered. No, I screamed..
“Heh, he's a warlock! warlock!!”
“police! call the fucking police!”
“Aaaah! Hmm, warlock!!”
“Wow!!!”
People reacted even more violently than when the explosion occurred and fled in all directions..
Only then did Oliver realize what mistake he had made and clapped his hands..
“Oh right······. This is what warlocks were originally like..”
Oliver muttered, realizing once again this very obvious fact..
***
warlock.
A human being who cannot use magic is like an imitation that was somehow born to use magic..
The problem is that the method is not magic, but human emotions, vitality, and the body. The point was that people were used as materials..
Of course, there is no need to explain, such black magicians were not perceived favorably in society..
Even Oliver understood that. As I said before, people were used as materials..
In addition, due to the highly consumable nature of the materials and the resulting side effects, it became even more taboo for warlocks to use others rather than themselves as materials..
‘In addition, most people who learn black magic are from the lower class of society and are sensitive to profit, so they are prone to crime, so the situation can only get worse... Still, this is better than expected.’
Oliver thought as he watched hundreds of people trying to get away from him..
Screaming was common, some people went to the police, and some even ran away, abandoning their children..
‘hmm······. I'm in real trouble.’
Oliver thought as he looked at the surroundings that suddenly became chaos. I never thought I would react to this level of reflexive black magic..
There were no problems with using black magic in the back alleys of Landa, so I was too complacent in my judgment. It was clearly his fault to use black magic in the city port, in broad daylight, in front of everyone..
Still, part of me thought that this might be a bit excessive. Whatever it is, it's to prevent suicide-destruction dolls..
‘hmm······. But if you think about it the other way around, it could be natural. It was also said that First Step suffered from black magic. What happens now??’
In contrast to the chaos around him, Oliver thought calmly..
I thought about continuing on my way as if nothing had happened, but looking at the reactions around me, it didn't seem like a good idea..
On the other hand, it was not a good idea to quickly run away and leave the place. Well, it would look very suspicious, and I didn't know if real police and paladins would come after me..
In the New World First Step, warlocks made up of red men are running rampant, and the power of the paladins is also strong, so it would be really difficult if that happened..
‘But why are they staring at me like that??’
Oliver stood still in place without moving and observed the magic user and wizard, a young warlock accompanied by five female corpse dolls, a druid who appeared to be an enjoyment, and a middle-aged man with a top hat who was right next to the self-destruction corpse doll. I looked and thought.
Most of them were of considerable skill, and the only one wearing a top hat had no special features other than that he appeared to be wealthy, but despite this, he observed Oliver with intense interest..
‘On the other hand, everyone else is wary of me... And that too for a specific reason. What the heck?’
Due to people's reactions being more intense than expected and superhumans showing strange caution, Oliver's worry time was prolonged, and thanks to that, the police arrived before he could decide what to do..
Beep! Beep!- Beep!-!
Four police officers armed with uniforms, hats, and machine guns blew whistles and surrounded Oliver, pointing their guns at him..
“Raise your hands! hand!”
“Don't move! If you move, it will shoot!”
“The Holy Knight is here too, so don’t think about anything else.!”
What the police said wasn't a lie.
A paladin armed with an iron coat and a long sword appeared among the crowd of people trying to get away from Oliver..
A fairly young paladin, on either side of him were two servants carrying shotguns and huge shields..
Looking closely, it seemed like there were quite a few paladins at the first step here. As soon as Oliver confirmed this, he immediately raised his hand and announced that he had no intention of resisting..
I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and I just wanted a better explanation..
If I told him that I used black magic to prevent the explosion, he would definitely understand..
Oliver made that decision and explained what happened earlier to the paladin with the long sword. He said he never intended to make a fuss or harm anyone..
The paladin who listened to the explanation step by step said:.
“I'm telling you to believe such nonsense.?”
***
gibberish. The paladin spoke firmly with disbelief shining..
Oliver thought his explanation might not have been enough, so he tried to explain again carefully using hand and foot gestures, but the police stopped him from moving, so he returned to the position with his hands raised..
But it wasn't too disappointing. Considering the paladin's emotional state, I didn't think Oliver would believe it no matter how he explained it..
Because he didn't trust Oliver emotionally rather than logically. because-
“-How can you trust something like a warlock? Stop talking nonsense and hold out your hand. Let's go and hear the details..”
The paladin came to a random conclusion and took out a thick chain that felt holy..
Judging by the heavy weights attached to both ends, it seemed to be an object that could be swung or thrown if necessary..
While Oliver was debating whether to hold out his hand or run away, someone intervened..
Surprisingly, the person who intervened was none other than a middle-aged man wearing a fedora. Even with his normal body, he was able to observe Oliver without being caught up in the confusion..
He said.
“Sorry, Paladin. What he says is true.”
Hearing the calm yet rational voice, the Holy Knight frowned and turned around, and the people watching around him also murmured..
That's because it was an insane act to stop the Paladin from doing the very natural thing of arresting a Warlock..
“······Who is the teacher??”
The paladin narrowed his eyes and asked, and Oliver also looked at the middle-aged man in the top hat with his hand raised..
He calmly answered the frowning paladin, as if showing off his guts for observing Oliver without running away even in the chaos..
“Oh, excuse me. My name is Sean Redmond and I am visiting First Step here on business. nice to meet you.”
“······Mr. Sean Redmond. As a paladin, I ask. Are you defending the warlock now??”
The Holy Knight immediately pressed Redmond, omitting his own name as well as the formal greeting. As if dealing with an unpleasant intruder.
But Redmond wasn't easy either..
Despite the paladin's sharp attitude, rather than being discouraged, he remained calm and polite and said what he had to say..
“Oh no, absolutely not. Paladin. How dare you... However, I am only telling you that it is true that the black magician used black magic to stop the corpse doll from destructing itself. I was right next to you. As evidence, there are no traces of the explosion and no one was injured. Except for those who ran away and stepped on each other..”
Oliver suddenly felt grateful to Sean Redmond for helping him, but at the same time he wondered why he was helping him like this..
The first reason was because helping himself was quite dangerous, and the second reason was because of his emotional state..
He wasn't doing a favor simply because he was helped. He was now shining with some sense of purpose..
The proof is that I have feelings for Oliver..
However, regardless of Redmond's thoughts, the Holy Knight did not want to listen..
“It doesn't matter if that's true. Mr. Redmond. It is our Paladin's job to catch a warlock whose identity is unclear. I respectfully ask you to step aside. If you continue to be involved, we should investigate whether Mr. Redmond is also involved..”
Sincerity, not bravado. When I said that much, the man named Redmond also hesitated..
After all, he could be called a paladin. Even though their prestige was slightly diminished as they entered the industrial era, they still boasted absolute authority over their field of management, which was demons and warlocks..
Even so, Oliver was grateful enough to the man named Redmond. Because he has already helped me so much.
“Would it be okay if I could prove my identity??”
Oliver suddenly said. In a calm voice, as if helping someone else with their work.
Maybe that's why he was able to attract everyone's attention even though his voice wasn't loud..
“I am also an employee employed by Magic Tower... Can you please put your hands down for a moment??”
At Oliver's question, the people surrounding him murmured once again..
Being a magic tower employee meant being a wizard. That's quite an elite wizard.
Oliver once again felt that it was a good thing to be an employee of the Magic Tower..
The Paladin looked at the person making noise and told him to take it out. As soon as permission was given, Oliver took out an ID card proving that he was a Magic Tower employee and presented it to the Paladin..
Seeing this, the onlookers murmured even more, and the police and Holy Knights also reacted with great surprise..
Redmond, wearing a top hat, showed the same emotion as expected, and the magic users, wizards, druids, and warlocks who had been observing Oliver earlier also showed interest..
What the heck is... To be honest, it wasn't a very pleasant situation. The original plan was to meet Joanna quietly, but now it has become too noisy..
“I can't believe it. A wizard who uses black magic. It doesn't make sense.?”
“Ah, it takes a bit long to explain about that.-”
“-Good. Well then, follow me.”
“yes?”
“He said he needed an explanation. Well then, come and talk. Above all, these IDs can be forged as many times as you like, so you need to check them additionally..”
“No, not really..”
Oliver corrected the paladin's words and printed out the magic power stored in his body and put it on his ID card..
The magic formula stored in the ID card reacted with magic power and created certain patterns and numbers made of magic power in the air..
It was a security spell to prevent ID forgery, and even the New World paladins were quite agitated as to whether they knew about it..
“······Did you visit because of the magic tower??”
“No, I visited for personal reasons..”
“what's personal?”
“that is-”
Oliver was about to reply when the words got stuck in his throat..
I thought it might sound a little strange to say that I took a boat all the way here from Landa to meet Paladin Joanna. Perhaps she might have harmed Joanna without her knowledge..
Oliver muttered and thought about coming up with a plausible lie..
“hmm······.”
It was already too late to say that I came because of the Magic Tower business, and since I could have investigated it, it wasn't a very good excuse. I was thinking of saying I was there for sightseeing, but considering the paladin's emotional state, it didn't make any sense..
While Oliver was worrying, the Holy Knight's suspicion and hostility reached its peak, and he tried to use his skills to drag Oliver away, but at that moment, a loud horn was heard..
Behind the crowd over there.
Parabaraparabam!!
Soon, as if to prove that they weren't mistaken, a luxury car sporting a thick bonnet appeared, pushing the onlookers out of the way..
“Ooh, wow!!”
“Wow!!!”
“What, what? Kwak!”
“Don't push! Don't step on it!!”
“my legs! legs······!”
People who had been hit by a car and suffered major and minor injuries let out a harmony of screams..
The Holy Knight and Servant were startled by this very impactful appearance, and in the meantime, a fat man suddenly got out of the backseat of the car..
It was Edith.
Edith, an icon of Landa's self-made man and Jane's biological father..
he said, looking at Oliver.
“her! I heard a rumor that he was a bit sleepy, but it's worse than I thought. Can’t I even eat properly??”
“hello. Edith. nice to meet you.”
