Genius Warlock-Episode 497
497. busy return (2)
In response to Oliver's request to speak in peace, my sister courageously spoke. ask them to accept you.
Probably, the people she was talking about were Orshore, Catherine, Andrássy, and Pal, including her sister herself. There were five sisters like this..
Oliver was silent for a few seconds at the completely unexpected request, and his sister, who had maintained a poker face, gradually became anxious and anxious..
Just before her emotions were completely overtaken by nervousness and anxiety, Oliver spoke..
“······sorry. It's so unexpected that I don't know what to say..”
“I understand.”
My sister answered. It wasn't that common to defect to a stronger warlock, but the warlock in front of me seemed like this for some reason..
Because he was that kind of person in the first place, he decided to defect..
“Can I ask you a question??”
“As much as you want. If I know everything, I will answer everything..”
Sincerity. Oliver asked as he ate his sweet dessert. It was delicious.
“The first question I would like to ask is why you are asking me such a request. Aren’t you already part of the Magic Tower??”
“Because that doesn't give you peace of mind. The Magic Tower has accepted us, but how long will it protect us??”
Oliver was silent. It was a question I hadn’t thought about, but after listening to it, I realized it was a question I could have..
Although he entered the magic tower with considerable conditions, it was unclear whether that would last forever. Strangely enough, promises are variable for some people..
“The Grand Master is taking good care of us, but unfortunately, that alone does not give us peace of mind. She is quite old, and more than anything, my sisters and I are from street women, so we know very well how a man's favor can be lost in vain. I hope you understand.”
“I understand. Because everyone has their own position. But, I’m also a man, is it okay??”
“I believe that Dave will teach us more than just protect us. I heard about the fighter crew. Dave taught them for free..”
“How did you know that??”
“There are rumors in the magic tower..”
“Why??”
Oliver asked back as if it was unfair. It was kind of a secret.
“well······. When a businessman who is the best problem solver in the back alleys and dominates an area is a rank-and-file employee of the Magic Tower, it is natural for all kinds of rumors to arise.?”
“······ah.”
Oliver gasped in response to his sister’s rebuttal. It certainly seemed like it could be possible..
“Originally, a unique entity attracts attention, and attention gives rise to numerous rumors... Thanks to this, we were able to hear how well Dave taught ordinary dark horses in the back alleys. I don't think I have average skills..”
“It's thanks to the fighter crew for following along so diligently..”
“My sisters and I are also confident that we can follow along. And the price is worth it... No, I am confident in my service to you, Dave..”
Active attitude of older sister. It could have been just something he said due to the warlock's unique relationship of domination and exploitation, but it didn't seem like that based on his emotional state..
It seemed like my sister had a specific card to deal with..
As if to prove this, she confidently said.
“Dave may need us for something. Then, we will prove that we are useful. If you are not satisfied, I will punish you sweetly..”
As I said before, my sister was still sincere..
Was that why? Even though the hunger of the human flesh cook, the burns of the burnt man, and the fatigue from the New World had not subsided, Oliver felt quite interested in the current conversation..
“What exactly is it that I need your help with??”
“The warlock society is in turmoil..”
My older sister made a bold move. They say the warlock society is in turmoil..
“Of the four fingers, one is dead and the other is injured, so it's a completely natural phenomenon..”
“If you have four fingers······?”
“These are the fingers that represent the black hand. The puppet of eternal life, the Pied Piper kidnapper, the eternal child fan, and the human meat chef. They are monsters who have reigned in the warlock society for hundreds of years or even decades..”
monster. Oliver nodded his head at that..
Just looking at the puppet, he lived for hundreds of years and single-handedly dealt with an army of zombies.,
The human meat chef was something that even the Crime Firm, the largest organization in Celand, was reluctant to fight.,
Fan also manipulated countless creatures and toyed with even the Paladin, who could be considered the warlock's natural enemy..
‘I don't know much about the Pied Piper, except that the bounty is huge.······.’
Anyway, among them, the human meat cook was officially killed by Merlin, and Pan was also injured..
“Each of the Fingers is a powerful and evil warlock, but it is also true that thanks to them, there is some balance. Minor disputes did not stop, but on the other hand, there were no major disputes. This was possible because the monsters were holding on in their own territory..”
“Are you saying it's not anymore??”
“Yes, because it leaves a huge void. Countless ambitious people who have been oppressed by the power of the finger will rise up, and some of them may target Dave..”
“?? ······me?”
Oliver asked back as if he couldn't understand. Shamelessly so..
“Because Dave was there when the meat cook fell, and the fan was fighting with Dave..”
“The one who defeated the human meat chef was the elder, and the one who dealt with the fan was strictly speaking just helping the paladins..”
“Such things are only minor problems for ambitious people... What matters is that Dave was there and that he was hurt. Are your injuries very serious??”
“It hurts a little.”
Oliver looked at his right arm and wondered if he was really going to be attacked..
In the past, Puppet had given a similar warning. Whether it's a wizard or a warlock, the number of people targeting you will increase one by one..
To increase reputation, to extract data for experiments.
In fact, they kidnapped Rossburn to lure Oliver away from Mattel..
‘There were no attacks on the warlock, but... No, the human meat chef told me that Puppet protected me. Not now.’
If so, it meant that the possibility of a warlock attack was sufficiently high. It might be a little troublesome.
My sister must have read Oliver's expression and tried hard to persuade him..
“If you'll join us, we'll bring you a lot of information about it. Although our power has weakened, we know a lot about the depths of warlock society and know how to seek information. Also, I am confident that I can assist Dave in the Magic Tower..”
“Even at the Magic Tower.?”
“yes. You may not know this, but there are a lot of people in Mage Tower who look at you with unkind eyes..”
“Oh, is that right??”
Oliver reacted again as if it were someone else's problem. Because I really felt like it was someone else’s business..
“His past is unclear, but he is under the protection of the archive, and although he is a wizard, he is deeply knowledgeable in black magic, and yet he has shown off his talent through numerous activities..”
My sister suddenly flattered Oliver. But she wasn't flattering. It was the most objective explanation of Oliver's current position in the Magic Tower..
He debuted in Landa as a troubleshooter, but his past background was unclear as he was an experiment at the Tower of Magic and a student of Merlin, and he was also well-versed in black magic, proving through a series of cases and papers that he had excellent skills in both practice and theory..
The reason why various rumors about Oliver spread in the magic tower was not just because of troubleshooters or businesses. There was also the same reason as above. Unrivaled skills against a mysterious background.
“For reference, some wizards are planning to use Dave's thesis to conduct their own research..”
“[Are you talking about reconstruction and transplantation of the body and organs using blood magic and life magic??”
“Yes, I think I'm trying to approach it from a different perspective than medical care..”
“It's good.”
Oliver responded willingly. Because it really didn't matter what I did with it. No, rather, he wanted to do something. Because then I can learn something else..
Seeing that, my sister felt a strange, overwhelming feeling that she could not understand. She has a higher level of strength that goes beyond simply being stronger..
Was there ever a warlock who took knowledge so lightly??
My sister thought about it and then shook her head. It wasn't just about taking knowledge lightly. Rather, it was frighteningly greedy..
A bottomless greed that gives away the 10 in hand and takes the remaining 1.
“······While Dave was not at the Tower, several Life School wizards left the Tower. Problems are revealed during the Life School reform, or people are dissatisfied with the current Grand Master. Also, some of the Magic Tower people are showing interest in the forest owned by Dave in Area X..”
My sister shined with admiration for a moment, and then told me various stories about the Magic Tower. While there were things Oliver knew, there was also news he didn't know..
“This is our talent. We're still under surveillance, but we somehow get information. If there is anything else you want, we will do our best to serve you. Please take us away.”
My sister asked again. Everything she said was sincere. for herself and her sisters.
It seems that she was planning to use the death of the human flesh cook as an opportunity to break away from her mother and build a future with her sisters. not bad.
“hmm······. It's a bit weird to collect, but how about cooperating??”
“yes?”
Oliver answered as he finished eating the dessert on his plate..
“It's just that I'm not a great person enough to hire someone. So why not cooperate with each other? You help me with what you can, and I help you with what I can..”
As Oliver finished speaking, he naturally held out his left hand. My sister hesitated for a moment, looked at Oliver, and then took his hand..
“yes, thank you.”
***
After establishing a cooperative relationship with his sister, Oliver returned home immediately..
I personally drove Company B's specially customized vehicle that I received from Philip. Surprisingly, all the vehicles kindly gave way to me so I was able to get there easily and quickly..
rattly.
Oliver opened the front door and entered the mansion..
It really feels like I'm back after a long time. No, I didn't just feel like seeing the dust accumulating in the house. It's been a long time since I came home.
‘but······. Is it natural that I spent longer in the New World than I originally thought??’
Oliver took off the clothes he was wearing as usual, changed into more comfortable clothes, and immediately prepared to clean up..
It wasn't that I didn't want to rest right away, but I thought I could rest more comfortably if I cleaned..
Oliver set the quarter staff aside and began cleaning with only one arm. How many minutes passed like that? I heard a curious voice.
“It would be faster to clean using magic, so why bother doing it by hand? And that’s only with one arm?”
“well. Do you think doing things with your hands is more refreshing than using magic? The reason I only clean with my left arm is because my right arm is injured..”
“Like that... Or how about hiring a maid or hiring a cleaning company? If it was the money I gave you, that would be fine..”
“That might be difficult because of the basement workshop at home. I dismantle it when I leave, but you never know. First of all, I personally don't like other people coming into my house..”
“am i okay?”
“Well, you are the teacher..”
Oliver, who quickly finished cleaning, looked in the direction where Merlin was sitting and answered..
He suddenly appeared in the middle of cleaning and sat on a chair as if it were his own living room. I wasn't dissatisfied.
As mentioned earlier, Merlin was his teacher, and Oliver had also visited his mansion on his own in the past, so there were no complaints at all..
Although I thought it was a little busy. That's because as soon as he came to Landa, he met Forrest, established a formal partnership with his sister, cleaned the house, and even met Merlin..
“Did the old man bother me too much??”
“No, that's not it. Actually, I wanted to meet you. Do you want coffee?”
Oliver, who had returned the cleaning tools to their original place, looked at Merlin and asked.
I expected to be able to see his emotions, but I couldn't because Merlin's thick magical wall was even thicker than before. It was as if they had made preparations..
“do you want to drink?”
“No, I already ate at the cafe. Also, personally, I think I will cut down on coffee from now on. I can't sleep well these days..”
“······Right.”
Merlin was immediately convinced when he looked at Oliver's right arm. It will be difficult to sleep due to the severe burns..
In reality, Oliver was having a bit of trouble sleeping because of his burns..
“I want to drink, so please give me a drink... They say a lot happened in the New World. I guess it's true..”
Oliver poured his coffee with one hand and set it down politely in front of him..
“little bit······. Did you hear from Lieutenant General Philip??”
“Maybe it's Philip, maybe it's not. Because my eyes and ears are everywhere... Coffee is delicious.”
“thank you I'm glad you liked it..”
Merlin took another sip of his coffee..
“Now, I guess I should repay the treat for being treated with good coffee, right? Why do you want to meet an annoying old man as soon as you come to the New World??”
Oliver stood politely and pondered. Because he had so many questions he wanted to ask..
For example, why did he come to meet me as soon as he arrived in the New World? Or what a noble being is or what a devil is..
As always, I wanted to ask a lot of questions..
Fortunately, Oliver had asked a lot of questions so far, so he got the hang of it and was able to tackle the most urgent matters first..
“Elderly. If it's okay, could you spar with me??”
Oliver requested a sparring match with Dajjagojja Archive..
