504. new eve? (1)
albert hunt.
A wizard belonging to the Moirai school..
Oliver met him for the first time in the past as Sheamus Gunn and was able to get along with him for a while..
It wasn't a very bad time... Although it was a bit twisted at the end when Oliver freed Eve..
“I don't care anymore, so don't take it to heart. Are you feeling better than that? I heard he was a little hurt.······.”
Albert frowned as he glanced at Oliver's appearance. As the story goes, Oliver's physical condition was not normal at first glance..
“I'm fine. It's better than before. but······.”
“but?”
“I'm worried that my hair color will look too old-fashioned to the people of Magic Tower..”
“······.”
“It's a joke.”
“ah······.”
Albert exclaimed and was offended by the joke that didn't seem like a joke at all..
“That's a really funny joke..”
“I read humor books for an hour every day..”
“Ahhh······.”
“Why are you doing that??”
“no······. it's nothing.”
Albert shook his head quickly, quickly ended the story, and immediately started a new story..
“hmm······. If you don't mind, can I get straight to the point? Actually, I have something to request from Mr. Zenon. At the level of the magic tower..”
“When you say Zenon, are you talking about a Magic Tower employee and not a problem solver??”
Oliver noticed this uncharacteristically quickly. Albert nodded his head..
“That's right. Of course, this is assuming that Mr. Zenon is in good physical condition. If you feel unwell, you can refuse. Because it's good for both sides.”
“I think it'll be okay.”
“Is that true?”
“yes······. Although it may be difficult to move vigorously, I think it will be okay because I can carry out my mission. What is the request? At the level of the magic tower?”
“Have you heard that the Magic Tower project was stolen??”
“yes.”
“I want you to bring that back..”
“ah······. Sorry, Albert. I have no ability to find things that have disappeared without a trace..”
“I found traces.”
Albert took out the socket from his pocket, placed it on the table, and clicked his finger! bounced.
When the sound rang, the magic power built into the socket spewed out, reorganized the magic particles, and projected an image into the air based on the magic contained in the machine..
“I thought all the security footage was gone.?”
“We installed it separately..”
“Well then, there······?”
“It is a treasury under the Magic Tower administration. All research content and results of projects supported by M Tower are stored there. In case of unexpected loss or theft..”
“Isn't there a higher chance of it being stolen if you save it??”
“Not necessarily. It's similar to putting treasure in a treasure trove. Instead, we put a lot of effort into security. It was in vain because of them.”
Albert pointed to an image in the air. Scarily speaking, a group of people appeared in the video..
There are a total of eight people. Everyone was wearing the same full body suit, so their faces were unrecognizable..
“It's a magic item..”
“you're right.”
Albert manipulated the socket to change the video from a normal screen to a magic screen..
Then, the person's appearance and the surrounding scenery turned into an empty black, and only the magic power contained in the suit was clearly visible..
Blue magical energy moves back and forth quickly like a neurotransmitter along the magical circuit installed in the suit, and various techniques were drawn..
“As you can see, this is not an ordinary item. It's military stuff. After analyzing the suit's magic circuit, the given magic alone-”
“-It has physical strength, physical defense, invisibility, and resistance to elemental magic..”
Albert was speechless at the accurate assessment. It took them two days to analyze it, but they looked at it in one go and guessed it. It was so absurd that I wasn’t even upset..
“Yes, that's right. It's not something that can be purchased for a penny or two. Moreover, all the wearers are experts..”
After seeing Oliver in the video, he agreed. Thanks to spending quite a bit of time as a problem solver in the back world, I was able to get a rough idea of his skills and experience just by looking at his gait, hand movements, and gaze..
In Oliver's opinion, the people in the video are all veterans who have received professional training. At least they were soldiers or people who made violence their business..
“But the most important thing here is none other than that.”
Albert pointed to a woman. To be exact, her crude device she was carrying. It was an object that looked like an iron, and when the woman attached the device to the safe, the safe was unlocked in less than two minutes..
“To be exact, 1 minute and 12 seconds. It was breached in 1 minute and 12 seconds. Without a Net Navigator or a Druid... Do you know about the performance of the safe?”
“I don't know exactly.”
“This is a safe made using the World Tree. We built an eight-layer defense system and gave each defense system a different fluidity pattern. Focused on wasting time rather than defense.”
“It may be possible to break through, but it won't be easy..”
“You got it right. Even if it is possible to break through it, it is difficult within 40 minutes, and it is absolutely impossible within 20 minutes. In addition, after building the system, the world tree was cut down and physically isolated to prevent external hacking..”
“In other words, you can only hack it right in front of you without any external support..”
Oliver got straight to the point..
A safe that took 40 minutes to unlock was unlocked in 1 minute and 12 seconds without prior preparation... It was pretty amazing.
“To be honest, the skills of the invaders or the full-body suits they wore were not that surprising. It may be expensive, but on the contrary, it can be solved with money. But that machine is not at all.”
Oliver agreed in silence..
At first glance, it was nothing more than a crude iron, but it single-handedly broke through the security system installed by the Magic Tower. It was close to impossible with current technology..
“Based on that video, we found traces of them. I hope Mr. Zenon secures the stolen project and this technology.”
Retrieve the stolen Magic Tower project and secure unknown technology... It was a request that made enough sense. Except one point.
“Why me??”
“······Because I believe in Zenon’s skills. He is the person I can trust and entrust to him the most. Of course, we will give you appropriate compensation..”
“hmm······. There's one thing that's bothering me, could you please answer it??”
“What is it? What concerns me?”
“What are you really aiming for??”
“······.”
Oliver asked, Albert was silent..
Albert continued to answer in silence, perhaps because it was an unexpected question or because it was offensive, but Oliver took a step closer without stopping..
“Is it about Eve??”
“······?!!”
Albert, a Net Navigator with strong mental power that can withstand the Root Net, an ocean of information, was silently surprised..
“······how do you know?”
“hmm······. Persimmon?”
Oliver looked around appropriately. But it was also half true.
I had this thought for some reason when I saw Eve, who was invisible even when connected to the World Tree, and the Moirai school that was obsessed with Eve..
Albert half gave up and said at the absurd answer..
“Even if I deny it now, you won't believe me..”
“Yes, can you tell me?”
“That seems difficult.”
Albert refuses right away. When Oliver asked why, he explained..
“This is because Dave has a history of letting Eve off the hook in the past. He can't entrust work related to Eve to someone like that..”
“In the Magic Tower, it's Zenon..”
“There's nothing to say about that. Anyway, it's hard.”
“All right. There is no problem with me finding out personally.?”
“Of course not.”
Albert was truly disgusted. Doesn't it make sense??
“Eve is an important being not only in the Moirai School but also in the Magic Tower. She's sorry, but there's nothing Zenon can do on this mission other than retrieve the stolen project and draw attention to it. She won't allow anything else in the magic tower..”
Albert answered with a hint of confusion. That's because the original plan was to draw the opponent's attention and eliminate variables at the same time by deploying Dave, who didn't know where he was going, in a deception operation. But suddenly, before it even started, things went wrong..
However, things started to go wrong from now on. Because Oliver handed in his resignation in his arms..
“Resignation?”
“yes.”
“For example...! under······. Why is a resignation letter suddenly coming out of my arms? Have you been thinking about quitting the magic tower??”
“No, I have no intention of quitting the Magic Tower. I like Magic Tower. There are a lot of books and the pay is good..”
“But why?”
“[In the book [Advice for Office Workers], it was said that all office workers should carry a letter of resignation in their hearts. So I prepared it in advance..”
“Sorry, but stop reading weird books. Including humor books. I guess it's no use.”
“Your words are harsh... Anyway, my intention to submit my resignation now is sincere. If I submit my resignation, I will no longer be part of the Magic Tower, so there will be no problem in doing as I wish.?”
“I'm just saying I'm confused. Are you threatening me now??”
“No, I'm serious, not a threat. I like Magic Tower, but I don't like forcing myself to do things I don't want to do. That's why I tried to avoid belonging to an organization as much as possible... If we don't agree, it's right for me to leave..”
Calm and calm crazy sound. But it didn't seem like a lie.
In fact, he had already established himself in Landa as a problem solver and businessman, so there would be no major regrets if he left the Magic Tower. Above all, he wasn't the type of person to lie or bluff like that..
“ha······. What do you want??”
“First of all, please tell me what you said. About Eve.”
A soft but firm voice. Albert pressed his temples as if he had a headache, crossed his arms, and began to explain..
“······After Dave released Eve, we tracked her down separately. That’s why Eve has such deep meaning to us..”
“I know.”
“No, you don't know. If I knew, I couldn't let it go like that. Even if you understand the sentence, you don't know its meaning..”
For the first time, Albert revealed his hidden feelings of resentment. It wasn't something I didn't understand..
Eve, the artificial spirit of the World Tree, could be said to be the dream of everyone working in the field. Regardless of wizard or druid.
But Oliver let go of such a being? What was even more strange was that there was no resentment..
“well. I think it's a matter of perspective. Eve is clearly a being of great value, but she is also self-conscious. I wondered if it was really a good idea to forcibly restrain such a being. Isn't it a bit like that??”
Albert was silent. He was a warlock and a fixer who made a living off of people's blood, so he didn't know what to say in response. So he stopped talking..
“······Anyway, I found Eve's whereabouts..”
“How did you find it? It couldn't have been easy?”
“Funny enough, I found it with that device..”
Albert pointed to an iron-like device in the video..
“We found and analyzed the video and any traces of the device left in the safe. After investigating, it turned out that the machine had a mediating function, not a hacking function..”
“If you say it's a medium?”
“This means that someone remotely controlled it through a machine. And I followed the trace exactly backwards. There was Eve at the end..”
“······Eve?”
“Yes, surprisingly, that Eve was chasing another Eve..”
Oliver paused. Eve is chasing another Eve. The Pandora I met in the New Continent and another Eve who isolated Lake Village came to mind..
‘It's probably not Pandora... Eve in Lake Village? Or a new Eve that I don't know about)?’
Oliver wondered, recalling the first time he smashed Eve with his hands..
“The Magic Tower and our Moirai faction plan to track down Eve and secure it under the pretense of finding the stolen project. Both if you can, at least one..”
“That's really what you're after..”
“That's right. You can proceed with the project again, but it's not Eve..”
“Leave the Eve problem to me..”
Oliver said suddenly but firmly..
“yes?”
“Eve. I asked you to leave it to me.”
“······Are you saying you will secure Eve for the Magic Tower??”
“No, I don't plan on securing it, I plan on persuading him..”
“what do you mean?”
“After listening to it, it seems like Eve also needs someone to protect her... If you just grant me three conditions, I will try to persuade Eve to bring you to the Magic Tower..”
“It's not a question I can answer.”
“Well, could you please pass it on to me? It's the Magic Tower or the Moirai School..”
An unreasonable and rude request that is unthinkable with normal politeness. Albert answered, half giving up..
“······If you don't listen, you'll be thinking of handing in your resignation and sabotaging us.?”
“no. It's not a hindrance... I just do what I want to do.”
Albert's stubbornness eventually gave way due to Oliver's stubbornness..
“······What the heck?”
“First, to Eve-”
“-No, I'm not asking that. Aside from releasing him, why did he do that for Eve? I don’t think you have much interest in the value and symbolism of Eve..”
“hmm······. well? I'm sorry?”
Oliver answered, remembering that he had failed to thank Eve..
***
“Hmm······.”
Pure white skin, shiny blonde hair, slender neck and body.
A beautiful woman who seemed out of place in a dying city sat leaning against a huge tree, closed her eyes, and made strange noises..
It was a sight that could have seemed quite strange, but even that became a picture due to the woman's appearance..
“what's going on?”
A man approached the woman. He was a masculine handsome man with thick lines, and his body was large and thick to match his face, giving off a strong feeling. Nevertheless, the man exuded a wizard-like scholarly vibe..
“It's late?”
The woman slightly opened one eye and looked at the man. A huge sheet of ice spread behind the man, freezing the ground and many buildings. Only the white steam in the air represented the power of the cold..
“5It didn't even take a minute.”
“Yes, against the hillbillies who were doing human trafficking..”
The woman sneered politely. The man just frowned as if he had nothing to say, but in fact, this was a very unfair treatment..
Even though it was a city dying due to Landa, the gangs in this city were mainly engaged in human trafficking, mainly enjoyment druids, and were quite powerful in the vicinity..
Of course, that was only 5 minutes ago. All that was left now was a frozen corpse..
“Just take the druid corpse and dispose of the rest appropriately. Druid corpses are hard to find..”
The man awkwardly nodded his head and gave instructions to other colleagues, as if he was not used to receiving instructions from a woman..
“Now the disruptor is gone. Right away, let's get to work.”
“You're in a hurry.”
“Even if Eve was physically trapped in this city, this is a far away place. I can't waste time needlessly. There might be a saboteur.”
“Oh my, this is no fun... But it's not wrong. Because now a saboteur is coming from Landa..”
“A saboteur? who?”
“Magic tower. Everyone is talking about magic tower, magic tower, but it looks like it has that much potential. I never thought you'd find me again.”
The man wrinkled his face again. The Magic Tower were traitors and fakes who betrayed them a long time ago. Even that kind of evaluation was infuriating..
But the woman didn't care. Such trivial things meant nothing to me and were just materials. materials to know the future.
Now she wanted to draw the future she wanted based on those materials..
“I need to contact a nearby road gang..”
“Would a gang like that be helpful? At best, it's just a waste of time..”
“Isn’t that enough? Or are you scared because the magic tower is coming??”
The woman narrowed her eyes and smiled strangely. The man became angry even though he knew that the woman in front of him was not a real woman..
“Do you think I'd be scared by traitors like that??”
“Well then, that's a relief. It's enough for the gangs to bide their time or just figure out their opponent's strength, so we slowly tighten the world tree in this city and trap Eve in it..”
The woman tapped the world tree next to her..
“If that happens, the Skadi school will be able to get Eve..”
