Genius Warlock-Episode 563
563. escape (2)
[Memory Of Blood)]
Oliver activated creation-type black magic based on blood and data accumulated in it..
The mass of emotions in Oliver's hand spread according to the number of corpse dolls.,
The blood that reacted to the emotions began to cover the corpse doll like a living creature..
The neck is constricted, extends along the spine, and covers the limbs and chest in a spider web-like pattern..
But the most impressive thing among them was the bloody eyepatch covering the corpse doll's eyes. Eyeballs sprouted from the eyepatch and began to look around..
“everyone.”
Oliver called the creature he created..
The creatures stood up and answered Oliver's call with silence..
“······can you please help me?”
nod.
The newly born creatures nodded their heads in response..
Oliver was slightly impressed by this sight..
Blood doll-creature. Although it was different from Child, it seemed to be a pretty good creature..
The most impressive thing is that you can feel the intelligence and authority..
Considering that most creatures cannot escape the level of beasts, it was an unusual level..
Probably, it seemed like it was made based on data accumulated in blood..
This was very good news. This means that we can expect a more proactive and skilled response..
‘Maybe we can get some replacement manpower to manage the forest in Area X..’
This too was good news. The reason why the blood doll-creature was created in the first place was because the corpse doll-Bathory (Child-First), who was supposed to control the assistant-bone doll, was left as a forest management man along with Sheamus (Child-Third)..
If we created replacement manpower to manage the forest, we would be able to utilize those two again..
Of course, Oliver still had the corpse dolls - Duncan and Durance - but he couldn't help but feel disappointed..
‘Especially in the current situation.’
Oliver thought as he looked at Jane. Strangely enough, she was having a secret conversation with Armand as to when she became acquainted with him..
As Oliver watched in silence, Jane and Armand noticed his gaze and looked in this direction..
Oliver opened his mouth..
“······It will be easier to defend if you place this corpse doll on the outermost edge when moving and hit the magic before the creature approaches. Your Majesty).”
“Even so, since you assured me of the firepower, will you be able to properly block it like you said? Creatures will come from all directions..”
“I think there will be no problem if I look around with the eyes of a warlock and give instructions. There may be some that are missed, but I think the paladin and other bodyguards will be able to stop them..”
Armand was immediately convinced. Looking at it, I didn't ask because I was really worried, but I was checking to see if Oliver understood his strategy properly..
As if to say this, he immediately moved on to the next question..
“The means of transportation?”
“Please wait a moment.”
Oliver apologized and approached Big Mouse, who was resting, and asked him to take out the next item..
That item was something I had always carried with me ever since I could afford it, just in case, but I had never taken it out..
Tongue!
Tongue!
Big Mouth heard the request and said, “Queez!” He spat out two large-capacity flasks with a sound..
What was inside the two flasks was none other than emotions. huge amount of emotions.
People who saw that tilted their heads..
I knew that emotions were important to a warlock, but they were not a means of transportation..
Either way, Oliver opened the flask and extracted a large amount of emotions with both hands. Creation-type black magic was used again against the window..
[Mimic-Wolf)]
A large amount of emotion that I couldn't even hold in my hand broke the window and spread out in a flash of black light..
“This is a custom-made window..”
Armand's voice mixed with regret. However, that voice was soon drowned out by the howl of a wolf..
“Awwwwwwwwwwww━━!!”
“Ahhhhhhh━━!!”
“Kyahahahahahahang······!!”
It was the sound of a hundred wolf-creatures coming to life howling at the same time..
The guards and paladins standing guard outside the villa were surprised by the large number of creatures, but they soon realized the situation when they saw Oliver and Armand come out soon after. took a step back.
“Is that what a means of transportation is??”
“Yes, anything that can be ridden and moved is a means of transportation..”
Oliver, who was riding a werewolf-cartoon doll in the dense forest, answered simply and clearly..
Although the werewolf was damaged in the process of chasing Red Hood, Oliver was able to learn Red Hood's dark magic of Creation..
“If you ride that thing, you'll be able to move faster than a car. Because it is large, each horse can carry three people, up to 300 people... I didn't know I'd use it like this, but I think the world's work is really fun..”
“It doesn't look like fun over there..”
Armand pointed to the nobles with his eyes..
As Armand said, the faces of the nobles, whether men, women, old or young, turned pale..
I didn't understand it at first, but actually, if you think about it a little, it became natural..
Among the powerful nobles of Gallos, there are those who purchased products made by warlocks for their own desires, but no one would have encountered them in this way..
About a hundred wolves larger than a car appeared in front of them. It was no wonder that a layer of his arrogant demeanor came off and his face became pale..
“Well, are you telling us to ride that now??”
A middle-aged nobleman said in disbelief. His emotions were strong with fear and rejection..
“yes.”
“I don't think I can ride it······.”
“me too······.”
This time, two women muttered. Just then, one of the wolf-creatures seemed to sense their rejection and growled lowly, and the women let out a small scream..
growing anxiety.
Oliver looked at Armand and asked for help. Because Armand is the only person here who can persuade them..
However, for some reason, Armand pretended not to see Oliver's help and just ignored the situation..
an incomprehensible attitude.
As a result, the aristocrats, whose anxiety grew, began to speak out more and more..
They say it looks too dangerous, it's reckless, I can't ride it..
Then someone came up with a different opinion..
Wouldn't it be better for Oliver and his bodyguards to go outside and call in the military?.
The nobles were amazed at this as if it were the real answer..
“That's right! That's it! Why do we go out ourselves? Shouldn’t someone other than us go out and report the situation here??”
“that's right!”
“That's right!”
Afterwards, voices of agreement rang out from everywhere. At that time, Jane came forward..
“Sorry, but that's not a good idea. everyone.”
Everyone glared at Jane with cold eyes at the voice pouring cold water on them..
A gaze that would make a normal person cringe. However, Jane was not intimidated and opened her mouth confidently..
“There is also a fan creature in the lake around the villa now. A monster that looks like a mixture of a fish and a human..”
“······.”
“The monsters are digging up dirt to expand the lake. I don't know what they're trying to do specifically, but it's obvious that it'll be dangerous if they stay in the villa for too long..”
“······Why are you talking about it now??!!”
A man screamed at the unexpected fact. He was so scared that his reason was clouded..
Being attacked, having to ride a wolf-creature, etc. As unwanted situations continued, the accumulated stress exploded..
Even so, the fact that it is unjustified anger does not change. This wasn't something to be angry at Jane..
Rather, even though Jane could have escaped alone, she came here voluntarily..
Was that why? Oliver took a step forward, holding Jane's shoulder as she tried to calm down the nobles..
Jane paused at Oliver's sudden action, and the nobles also flinched..
Apparently, the image of Oliver cutting into people's hearts with his tongue at a party remained in their minds..
Jane also tried to stop Oliver, asking if he had any memories of that time, but Oliver recalled the conversation he had with Jane earlier and winked that it was okay..
‘······So, I hope you don't see the same thing at the party as before. However... I like the usual Dave better..’
Surprisingly, what Jane said at the time was in line with what Cant said in the past..
Cantwa said she liked Oliver's unique personality. What a funny coincidence. Oliver began his speech by recalling his memories of that time..
“sorry. It's my fault for not talking about the fish people. It wasn't the right time to tell you..”
The nobles did not react that way..
The situation was such that a guy who I was already very uncomfortable with because of the way he showed up at the party created a hundred monster wolves. Even if there was a paladin, I had no choice but to be careful..
However, Oliver did not give up and tried to reassure the nobles..
“And I'm sorry again. Also, I looked bad at the party. Lady Jane is my friend, so I was sensitive to her... And I feel like I'm a bit addicted..”
Addicted. People tilted their heads at the unknown words..
“Oh, another friend of mine said that emotions like hate and anger are addictive. Is that true? I've been a bit irritated a few times recently, and I think I'm addicted to it... I was stupid and forgot about it for a while. sorry.”
Surprisingly, some of the nobles who seemed to not listen no matter what I said were agitated..
Is it because of Oliver's unique voice, the atmosphere, or even his sincerity? Some were shaken by Oliver's words..
“But apart from that, it is also true that it is safer to leave this place. We can't predict what the fish people will do, but it won't be beneficial to our side. You need to move when you have some time. I will try my best, so please cooperate..”
Oliver said exactly what he thought, without exaggeration or understatement..
“under······. Thank you. I also apologize. But I'm curious. Why does the warlock do this??”
A man said. He was a man whose chest had been cut off by Oliver at a party. Perhaps as time passed, he regained some stability and became sarcastic in his own way..
Oliver answered as if it was no big deal..
“First of all, I am also a guest invited to this party, and more than anything, I want Lady Jane to help you... I still have what I invested in Gallos..”
Oliver pointed politely at Jane, and everyone's eyes turned back to her..
It was a remark that could not have been made by a person with a normal mindset, but it made me feel Oliver's sincerity all the more..
It was a short meeting, but even the nobles guessed to some extent that Oliver was not normal..
At that time, Armand, who had been watching, intervened..
“I would like to ask you too... I understand that the current situation is sudden and embarrassing, but what is more important is the situation at hand. As someone who has been a paladin, I also think it is safer to move than to stay in the villa..”
Armand, who until now had been so stern as to discourage the Count if necessary, spoke in a much softer tone..
Perhaps because of his unique impression, this side felt more natural, and perhaps because of that, the nobles who were nervous at the sight of Armand, who was overflowing with dignity, began to relax as if they had never been like that..
Armand hit the nail on the head..
“Above all, as the Prime Minister of this country, His Majesty's subjects, and Gallos nobles, I do not want to continue to leave you in danger like this. That is damaging to His Majesty the King and the dignity of this country. So, please be courageous for His Majesty the King and for the country..”
***
Interestingly, when Armand stepped forward, the nobles who had seemed reluctant to move began to show courage and move..
I'm curious why you didn't come forward sooner..
However, Oliver had to prepare to move right away. Instead of asking, Oliver explained his pre-planned movement..
Focusing on the nobles and party guests who need to be protected,
Place the bodyguards and paladins brought by the nobles evenly around the area.,
Also, Oliver and the assistant doll were to surround the area and move as quickly as possible..
Indeed, a simple yet effective method..
As proof, when explained, Armand did not raise any objections and decided to follow Oliver's method..
‘Of course, there are unexpected things.’
Oliver muttered to himself..
The first unexpected thing was that the security personnel who remained in the villa due to the lack of Creatures accepted this more easily than expected..
While the number of wolf-creatures is 100, the number of people in the villa is approximately 700, including bodyguards and employees..
If you take all the nobles with you, there will be security personnel, villa employees, etc. It was calculated that more than two-thirds of the people would have to stay at the villa..
There was no way to know what danger would befall the remaining personnel..
So I thought this would be hard to accept, but they accepted it better than I thought..
The employment contract was something like that..
However, the most unexpected thing among them all was none other than Jane..
While Oliver was wrapping magic around Creature and the corpse doll like armor in preparation for any possible use of sacred magic, Jane approached and said:.
‘Dave. If it's okay with you, I'll move among the nobles..’
Oliver paused. Because Oliver was planning to take Jane there himself. He spoke about this, but Jane's attitude was firm..
‘Thank you for thinking of me, but no matter how much I think about it, I think this is right. Dave is actually responsible for the safety of everyone here, but if I ride in the back... It's a bit like that.?’
Oliver couldn't refute.
Certainly, if Jane rode right behind Oliver, there was a possibility that the nobles following her would feel uneasy..
It seems like they care more about Jane than their own safety. Well, that was actually true..
‘Considering the whole thing, I think this makes more sense. So I'll try to blend in there too..’
‘······By any chance, did you talk about it with Cardinal Priest Armand??’
‘Hehe... Don't steal a woman's heart carelessly..’
The conversation ended with that. Personally, I was reluctant, but Jane's will was so strong that I couldn't say anything..
Oliver considered individual will to be the most important. However, what bothered Oliver was that Jane's choice was for Oliver, not for him..
Oliver wanted to ask Jane why she made this decision, but he didn't think he would give a proper answer even if he asked, so he couldn't ask. It was truly questionable.
“what are you thinking?”
Armand called out to Oliver, who was lost in his thoughts for a moment..
As a Cardinal Priest of the Church of Pater and Chancellor of Gallos, he was in a position to be protected more than anyone else, but he volunteered to lead the Holy Knights and bodyguards to the front line..
It's more dangerous to just be protected at your level of skill..
Oliver answered Armand's question..
“Oh, I'm sorry... For a moment, I thought about something else..”
“That's troublesome. Everyone wants to take this gamble because of you..”
Oliver couldn't say anything. Although this is the best, it is also true that it is a gamble that requires taking risks. Oliver, who gave the opinion, took the lion's share of responsibility..
“If you're worried about Lady Jane, don't worry. I told the paladins to protect it well..”
Armand said as if he could see through Oliver's thoughts..
“As expected, was it your Majesty's idea to move Lady Jane over there??”
“You misunderstand something. I just answered questions and gave my opinion..”
Sincerity. Oliver asked what question Jane had asked..
“It's no big deal. I asked you how you would be treated if you saved all the nobles, and what you should do to receive better treatment. I told everyone it would be better to show that I care. I actually hope so. Because from my point of view, it's the right thing to do.”
That was true, Oliver had nothing to say..
“So, are you going to do your job now, or are you going to keep asking questions??”
At those words, Oliver looked around..
A nobleman, three people riding on a wolf-creature fixed in a magic room, was seen, along with bodyguards and a paladin who were keeping a tight guard around the area..
It was truly a rare sight. A nobleman trembling with anxiety astride a creature and a paladin astride a creature made with dark magic..
It was a sight that could never have been seen if not for Oliver's opinion..
Oliver felt a little bit of responsibility at that sight..
“······I'll do my job.”
“That's nice. Can I move right away??”
Armand, riding on top of the wolf-creature, asked. He was not awkward like other paladins, but rather natural..
“Yeah, one more thing before that..”
Oliver chanted towards the sky, bringing up the large amount of emotions he had stored in his body earlier..
[Call The Clouds)]
Preparation magic for large-scale lightning magic. Armand saw this and said.
“Oh, that's not a bad idea..”
