Genius Warlock-Episode 470

470. special ingredients (2)

“······hello?”

In the middle of the battlefield. Oliver appeared just as Philip was about to be attacked and suddenly spoke..

A greeting that is completely inappropriate for the situation. Is that why? Those who were fighting to the death just now stopped fighting all at once and looked at Oliver..

Not only Pinkman, police, and soldiers, but also red man warlocks and creatures..

Only Philip could disagree with Oliver's completely different attitude..

“I heard you're here... but it's nice to see you in this situation..”

“I am also glad to meet Lieutenant General Philip... I'm sorry, but could you please excuse me for a moment??”

“Uh, excuse me.”

As soon as Philip gave permission, Oliver turned and saw the warlock across from him, and the people around him wondered what the situation was..

That's because Philip, a member of the country's ruling class, had a friendly chat with a fixer..

Anyway, Oliver politely greeted the red warlock across from him..

“······hello? My name is Dave, the troubleshooter on Street 30, Area T, Landa. nice to meet you Sir, may I ask your name??”

Oliver formally introduced himself and asked the name of the Red Man Warlock. Because this was polite.

However, the red man warlock did not respond and remained silent. He wonders how his own shadow was destroyed so easily..

It wasn't that I didn't understand. He said it several times, but the ingredients he used were not ordinary..

Probably, it would have been difficult to stop Oliver's shadow if it had not been able to absorb the emotions, vitality, and magic of the human meat cook..

As the awkward silence continued, Oliver cautiously opened his mouth..

“hmm······. By any chance, did I make a mistake?.”

Everyone was shocked beyond absurdity when they asked the warlock who carried out the bombing and attacked the city if he had made a mistake. I'm speechless.

Is that why? The Red Man Warlock opened his mouth..

“I made a mistake... Because I disturbed you.”

“ah······. sorry. Because I know Lieutenant General Philip..”

Oliver said that he had rescued Philip Lore, a lieutenant general of the kingdom's army, principal of the Royal Mage Academy, director of the royal magic research department, honorary grand master of the Magic Tower's Pure Magic School, and head of the prestigious Lore family, because he knew him..

It was a ridiculous answer in many ways..

“I also threw a knife.”

“Oh, I didn't throw it at the teacher..”

“······?”

“Sorry if you misunderstood... I was aiming for that direction.,”

Oliver pointed to one side..

At the tip of the finger was a shadow that had spewed out countless creatures, and on top of that shadow was the blood-red dagger that Oliver had thrown..

The moment I wondered what that was, the shadow with the dagger in it began to sway little by little, and then it shrunk and something popped out..

It was a shadow. A shadow the size of a child.

“You are the shadow of the eternal child fan, right??”

Oliver asked, recalling the shadow of Pan he had seen in the sewers of Rabili, the capital of Gallos, and the Red Man Warlock reacted with a flinch as if it was the correct answer..

He was surprised because he did not expect that the shadow's identity would be revealed. Surprisingly, Oliver was the same way..

I never thought I'd meet Pan's shadow again here. It was surprising that the Red Man Warlock and Pan were related..

Oliver also greeted Pan's shadow..

“hello. Shadow. Long time no see.”

“······.”

The fan's shadow glared while holding one arm..

I didn't have eyes, nose, mouth, etc., but I could tell because I had feelings..

“I apologize for suddenly throwing the dagger. You were trying to summon a creature, so I wanted to stop you..”

Oliver apologized to Pan's shadow. Shamelessly throwing daggers filled with tens of thousands of diseases.

However, Oliver's shamelessness did not stop there..

“If it's okay with you, could you please step away from this? It's difficult to keep fighting here, so I think it would be better to heal Shadow first. please.”

“······!!”

“······!!”

Everyone was surprised by Oliver's sudden proposal, even more so than his appearance..

It was a natural reaction. It was a proposal that neither side could understand..

It looks like the Red Man Warlock will be able to capture the target with just a little effort, and Pinkman and others had to catch the Red Man Warlock to find out the reason, goal, and background behind this..

But what kind of problem solver would arbitrarily suggest something like that?.

However, Oliver continued speaking without paying any attention to their reactions..

“What about the teacher there? It looks like you don't want this to happen.?”

Oliver asked the warlock who used special ingredients. Although he was silent, he seemed intrigued by Oliver's offer..

“I think you all went to Shadow's shadow portal, but if you make a mistake, your exit route may be blocked. Reinforcements are also coming, so can you please give in at this point??”

Oliver added one more word to make it easier to persuade. At those words, the Red Man Warlock looked around and quickly made a decision..

He gestured and commanded his fellow red man warlock..

Some of my colleagues protested, but once I got the impression, they eventually complied without a word..

One of the First Step soldiers, who was watching the scene in silence, shouted.

“What on earth are you doing?! Why do you let go of the impure elements who are targeting the prince? What are you?!!”

The soldier was extremely excited, as if he was going to shoot Oliver. At that time, Philip stepped in and helped Oliver..

“Calm down.”

“Lord, Lieutenant General?!”

“I told you to calm down. Do you think I'm stupid and just stay still??”

When Philip, who was usually cheerful, asked without any laughter, the soldiers, police, and even Pinkman, who seemed ready to explode at any moment, cooled down like iron in water and calmed down their excitement..

Just like in the previous battle, amazing control.

Philip calmed the surroundings, and the Red Man Warlocks, who confirmed that safety was secured, disappeared together with Creature as if falling into a swamp through the shadow portal created by Pan's shadow..

When Pan's shadow disappeared, Philip turned his head towards Oliver. He was softer than before, but still solemn..

“Okay then, can you explain now? Why did you just let it go??”

“If the fight had continued, a huge explosion would have occurred. An explosion that will turn this place into ruins..”

“The basis is.”

“The Red Man warlocks had parasite-like creatures on their bodies..”

***

Creature in the form of a parasite.

Oliver spoke about the time he received an invitation from a human meat chef and explained about a parasite-type creature..

About a creature that uses its host as food to create a huge explosion..

“The creature was inside the bodies of the red man warlocks.?”

“Yes, not all, but quite a few. I thought it was the work of a human meat chef, but I guess it wasn't... Anyway, if I had continued to press, I might have committed suicide..”

Everyone fell silent as the story was dizzying to think about. Although a few people expressed their suspicions, they could not easily reveal it to the public due to their status as Magic Tower employees and the presence of Philip..

However, there are still people who need to check for themselves..

A man who appeared to be a First Step soldier asked. Judging from his emotional state, he seemed like a very upright person..

“How do you know so well??”

“That's because I saw the explosion scene myself..”

“explosion directly?”

“Yes, I saw it right in front of you..”

Oliver answered and explained the parasite creature's movements just before the explosion..

“Nonsense······. Then how are you alive??”

The soldier suspected, and it was a reasonable suspicion. It was an explosion so powerful that it could blow up a section of the city, and on a small scale, it could blow up several buildings..

It made no sense to be alive after seeing such an explosion right in front of you..

“I was lucky.”

Oliver answered sincerely. Because I was really lucky.

At that time, there was a dark red tree branch that had absorbed the magic power, emotions, and life force of the human meat cook disciple, so it was easier to stop it..

If it wasn't there, it would have been a bit dangerous..

Just what you need at the right time. Now that I think about it, it's safe to say that heaven helped me..

Perhaps that's why most of the soldiers and other people who asked the question seemed in disbelief..

Except Philip..

“That's true. I checked it myself... Anyway, the story goes that there was a possibility of an explosion. Am I right?”

“yes.”

“Well, even if it's a waste, there's nothing we can do. If you're willing to risk an explosion, it's right to let go..”

Philip thought to himself and came to a conclusion, and no one disputed it..

After thinking about it, Philip gave an order..

“colonel.”

“yes! Lieutenant General.”

“You take your troops and go protect Code Gamma (γ) with the war wizard I brought with you. There are paladins and war wizards nearby, but no matter how careful you are, it's not enough... Is there a place for Code Gamma (γ) to stay? safety?”

“there is. Although it is smaller than the previous place, the security is better..”

“It's perfect. The rest search the surrounding area and pick up injured troops..”

At Philip's command, First Step's police and military forces all moved in unison. Pinkman was an exception..

Instead of following Philip's words and scattering to the surrounding area to carry out their mission, they gathered here. To be precise, it was to surround Oliver, but.

Among them were a few of the Pink Man I saw in the back alley earlier..

‘Isn't there a middle-aged gentleman??’

Oliver reflexively looked for him and soon found him..

He was now coming next to Philip and whispering to him..

I heard it vaguely, but it was mostly about Pandora, and they also added the story that Oliver interfered..

After hearing the explanation, Philip looked down at Oliver with interest..

“I've already heard some unfortunate news about you, but this is new... Where is the forest maiden??”

Forest maiden. She seemed to be a code for Eve..

Oliver pointed to the top of the building he jumped from..

Everyone looked up and saw Pandora sticking out her face from the roof of the building..

“go get it.”

When the middle-aged gentleman gave the order, several pink men immediately moved..

At that time, Oliver stretched out his hands and said.

“pandora.”

As soon as she could speak, Pandora jumped straight from the top of the building..

3Eve, the artificial spirit of the World Tree worth more than a trillion, without any hesitation..

Considering the value of Eve, it is a scary situation regardless of personal feelings and attitudes..

Among them, Oliver chanted..

[Targeting)]

As he chanted, a dartboard was created on Oliver's arm and Pandora's body..

Thanks to this, Pandora, which had fallen, slowly turned towards Oliver, and Oliver safely caught Pandora by appropriately adjusting the attractive and repulsive forces of targeting and emotional particles..

Everyone looked at that in silence..

“Eve. It's called Pandora.”

Oliver lowered Pandora to the floor and introduced her to Philip..

Philip looked at Pandora for a moment and then opened his mouth...

“······Hello. miss. You're beautiful.”

“thank you Lieutenant General Philip. It is an honor to meet the head of the Lore family, who is in charge of one of the world's most powerful armies..”

Pandora greeted me very naturally and politely. Everyone looked at that in silence..

I was surprised that Eve, who was not human, acted so much like a human..

In some ways, it could have been a creepy sight, but no one felt that way. Rather, some felt it was beautiful..

It's like meeting a spirit that most humans can't see in their lifetime..

Philip asked, looking at Oliver with admiring eyes..

“I know Eve... You're more sociable than I thought..”

“I read a humorous book an hour before going to bed every day..”

Oliver said very proudly. Because he was proud.

“······My cousin says you interfered with the capture of Eve. Can you tell me why??”

“Because we know each other.”

Oliver answered briefly and concisely..

It was bullshit that didn't make any sense, but strangely enough, when Oliver said it, it was quite persuasive..

“hmm······. But, you brought it in front of me. What is the story you want to tell??”

“Could you please not chase Pandora today? I hope you don't pursue me in the future if possible, but I think that would be difficult..”

“Okay.”

Philip accepted very willingly. The pink men were so surprised that their eyes widened, but Philip continued speaking regardless..

“At least I'm not chasing you today. Instead, there are conditions..”

“Tell me.”

“We are going to subdue the red man warlock who caused the terrorist attack, so you can join us..”

“All right.”

3The matter related to Eve, who is worth more than a trillion, and the red man warlock who may have a connection with the eternal child fan, was decided in just a few words..

Everyone looked at that in silence. Pinkman, of course, and even Pandora. It was so unbelievable.
