Genius Warlock-Episode 634

634. defection (3)

in the late afternoon.

Other places were still working in full swing according to Landa's strict labor laws, but this Magic Tower was an exception..

Most of the students and employees of this magic tower, which deals with knowledge and magic, were getting ready for work, so even though the sun was setting and it was getting dark, the magic tower was very friendly..

A quiet evening is a given in life..

But sometimes there are exceptions, and today was one of those exceptions..

“Ugh. what?”

“what. I don't know. scared.”

“Why are you holding that?······?”

When Oliver, carrying a female human body model draped around his shoulder, visits Magic Tower, Magic Tower, which was on its way home from work, falls into untimely confusion..

That's because Oliver, who is a warlock but is an employee of the Magic Tower, is Dave the fixer but has another name, Zenon, and was recently announced as the hero who saved Landa, and who was recuperating, appeared holding a female human body model..

Oliver was already enough to attract attention just by his presence alone, but the props draped over his shoulders made him stand out even more than usual..

Well, it would have been noticeable even if just so-and-so had shown up with a (well-made) naked human body model instead of Oliver..

Anyway, Oliver arrived at the Magic Tower's administrative tower in that condition, regardless of whether everyone saw it or not. They stormed into the office of the head of administration..

“Oh my god······.”

Executive Director Burke Post said without realizing it:.

Considering his position, it may have seemed too frivolous, but everything has to be seen in context..

Even after seeing Dave appear with a naked human body model draped over his shoulder, I could say that his self-control was very good..

As expected, the administrative head of the Magic Tower.

Therefore, the response of the person who was not the head of the administration was more direct..

Squeak-

“It was real. Crazy guy······.”

Kevin opened the door and entered the executive director's office and said as soon as he saw Oliver..

When Zenon said he stormed into the administrative tower carrying a female human body model, I thought it was nonsense, but it was true..

“Professor Kevin?”

Executive Director Burke stood up and said to Kevin, who suddenly visited him..

Oliver called me here on his own..

‘After a while, if the magic tower is in trouble because of me, please come to the executive director's office..’

‘what?’

‘i look forward to.’

Before arriving at the Magic Tower, Oliver contacted him through a communication device, and Kevin followed suit..

After listening to the explanation, Executive Director Burke couldn't bear it anymore and expressed his honest feelings..

“crazy guy.”

“sorry.”

Oliver immediately apologized. At first glance, it looks the same as usual. However, it wasn't at all.

It could have been overlooked due to Oliver's special position and personality, but the Magic Tower was no ordinary institution..

It was an organization that was larger and more sophisticated than most corporations, and therefore had a well-established hierarchy..

Due to the nature of the federation of each school, it seemed at first glance to have a horizontal structure and be operated rationally, but if you look at each school individually, there are only differences in degree, and they place importance on hierarchy and have a conservative tendency..

Magic is a group that deals with advanced science, so that was normal..

In such an organization, there were only two types of beings who could ignore the hierarchy..

A genius who can achieve greater results even if he muddies the waters by denying the existing hierarchy. Or, a high-ranking person above the hierarchy..

Coincidentally, Oliver was both of these things..

In the paper requested by the Magic Tower to test Oliver's qualifications, Oliver published an unprecedented paper called [Reconstruction and Transplantation of the Body and Organs Combining Blood Magic and Life Magic], which condensed the essence of the knowledge of the Life School.,

Nowadays, it has become a given that he will establish a school and become its head..

That's why, even after seeing Oliver's antics, Kevin and Burke didn't kick him out, but instead called him a crazy person. I also knew that Oliver doesn't go crazy without reason..

“······Is that why you called me??”

Kevin spoke first..

The thing Kevin was talking about was the human body that Oliver had placed neatly on his office table, made of light ash wood and with a delicate lock of green leaves on its head..

At first glance, you could feel the craftsmanship, but Kevin could see that there was more to it than that..

“It's a combination of Druid technology and Life School technology..”

At those words, Burke also turned his head and looked at the human body model..

I couldn't recognize him at first because my senses had become dull due to only seeing administrative work, but he was also a wizard of a considerable level..

As if to prove this, I took a look and realized that it was not just a human model..

“This······. This is an improved version of your thesis..”

Burke mentioned [Reconstruction and Transplantation of Body and Organs Combining Blood Magic and Life Magic] written by Oliver. It was correct.

A human body model made by Oliver. To be precise, Eve's fake body is an improved version of Oliver's thesis that creates new body parts by transplanting other cells based on core cells..

It was a creation of a whole new body beyond just a body part..

The difference is that it was made from wood so that it could be used by Eve, a type of spirit, not a person..

However, the difference between the two was not that big, and Kevin and Burke, who had accumulated considerable knowledge as wizards, understood it without any explanation..

“Suddenly something like this······?”

“It has been prepared since long ago..”

It was Oliver's own expression of apology for Eve, whom he had neglected along with Lilith and Pandora..

Originally, I was going to make it a corpse doll like Lilith and Pandora, but considering that Eve is the spirit of the World Tree and a member of the Magic Tower, I made it this way..

It wasn't easy, but it worked.

“No way, it was made because of the minister’s request.?”

Kevin asked if I had any clue..

Carver, who was working on the World Tree project, wanted something to divert people's attention..

“No, that's not it. As I said before, it was already prepared a long time ago. However, it is true that it was made in a hurry to help Mr. Carver..”

“That's great.”

Kevin, who is stingy with praise, came out saying it was excellent..

If so, it was great..

The fake body Oliver created for Eve was nothing more than a well-made human body model at first glance, but the technology and impact it contained was beyond imagination..

First of all, the public did..

The public has no expert knowledge and is swayed by various issues..

Carver asked for help to divert their attention, but in order to divert their attention, he had to be intuitive..

It had to be something that scholars could evaluate as amazing just by looking at it, not something that could be understood by thinking about it..

In that sense, this fake body was great in many ways..

The discovery of Eve, the artificial spirit, soul, and spirit of the World Tree, created an uproar in the Magic Tower, but if she gained a body and came forward to the people, the impact would be even greater..

“Is that why you made it like this??”

Burke, who was looking closely, asked a question..

Just as food that looks good is also good to eat. If possible, everything had to look pretty. In that sense, Eve's fake body was a pass..

The reason why the people of the Magic Tower were scared when they saw Oliver was because it was not just a human model, but a realistic human model that was almost like a human being..

“I think it would be better to make it well if possible..”

“Well, it would be nice if it was made well, but it was made too well..”

“Thank goodness. I tried my best to make it after looking at the magazine, and I think Eve will be happy too..”

“It's not a compliment... But, what magazine??”

“Prohibited books purchased from the gray market-”

“-for a moment.”

Just when the conversation was about to get sidetracked, Kevin intervened by raising his hand..

“By the way, why did you bring this here? I'd rather go to the minister.”

It was a reasonable opinion.

If it was made to help Secretary of the Interior Carver, or if it was to attract people's attention by making an amazing invention, there was no reason for Oliver to come to the Magic Tower administration with this..

Woodcutter Dave, New Fingers, Representative of the Redevelopment Coalition, Landa's hero Zenon Bright, etc..

It was safe to say that Oliver, whose name value had risen, was now in a position where he could handle everything on his own..

If I wanted to announce this, I just did it. If you were embarrassed to be alone, like Kevin said, you could go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and meet Carver..

In fact, you would get more help by going to Carver rather than coming to the Magic Tower..

Carver was friendly with Oliver, and given the current situation, he would be even more willing to help..

They would gather newspaper reporters and show them how great Oliver was..

We maintain a close relationship with Landa City, and reporters who want new stories will also be happy to follow..

At least it was a better option than the Magic Tower..

Currently, it appears that the Magic Tower is helping Oliver, but it was just pushed by the situation..

In order not to hear sarcasm asking what the famous wizards were doing while the Pied Piper was causing a stir..

As evidence, it was Kevin who was helping to create the Bright School on behalf of the Magic Tower..

Kevin's skills are excellent, and thanks to his continued majoring, he moved his lab from the corner of the Elemental School-Tower to the center, but Kevin is still discriminated against and checked..

With that alone, I could tell the magic tower's attitude toward Oliver..

An uncomfortable person who cannot be dismissed because of talent, merit, and support, but that does not mean you want to become friends..

However, after hearing this explanation, Oliver agreed..

“So I came here. I want to become friends with the magic tower..”

***

Oliver explained..

I want to become friends with the magic tower..

The reason was simple.

“I decided that this was the only way for the black magic school to survive for a long time..”

“That's not like you.”

Kevin responded after hearing what Oliver said..

One of Oliver's greatest characteristics was that he didn't care how anyone evaluated him, nor did he care much about the relationships around him..

Regardless of personality or social skills, an innate temperament is strong. But it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

Thanks to this, Oliver was able to achieve his own solid achievements..

If I had paid attention to what others thought, the Oliver I am today couldn't have been born..

It could be said that it was quite an awkward move for Oliver to want to become friends with Magic Tower..

“I hope the dark arts school will continue without me..”

“······what?”

“It's a bit embarrassing to say this, but I feel very lucky. He's a genius born with talent..”

As he said, it was an embarrassing remark, but it was also true that no one could deny it..

Everyone in the magic tower already acknowledged that Oliver was a genius. Rather, Kevin was viewed as something more than a genius..

“That's probably why they established the school of thought that says it's almost impossible..”

“That's usually the case. Because schools are created by groups, not individuals..”

“Yes, you heard me. Department head. So I found the book and read it. And I learned. A school born under the leadership of one individual can quickly decline..”

Oliver showed the sharp side he sometimes shows..

As the saying goes, schools created by outstanding individuals often collapsed quickly..

The driving force behind the creation of the school was a single individual, so in some ways it was a natural result, but it was definitely not what Oliver had hoped for..

Oliver wanted something that would last even when he was gone..

Executive Director Burke, realizing that this was a rather serious story, asked:.

“The point is.”

“This fake body. I will share the credit with the Moirai School and the Life School. If you want, I'll just give it to you. Instead, after the black magic school is established, please create a cooperation system such as human exchange. It's something that lasts for a long time..”

As the Bright School was preparing to be founded, Oliver was looking for a way for the school to survive for a long time..

“Here is a log of the fake body manufacturing process and how to make it..”

Oliver took out various notes and stacks of paper from his arms..

As Oliver said, there was a research log recording the process of creating a fake body and a manufacturing method, and in addition, various magic that Oliver had reinterpreted and studied in his own way, including druid magic, was written down..

Half of these were written by Oliver in the past when he had time, and the other half were written recently..

The paper in question shows the power of nature taught to Willes. To be precise, a flame magic technique that absorbs magical power, emotions, and natural forces and uses them as fire power was also organized..

Since ancient times, the more knowledge you share, the better it is..

“Since the two people here are helping to found a school of black magic, I will leave it up to them. This is not my area of ​​expertise..”

Although Oliver said it wasn't his area of ​​expertise, Kevin and Burke realized what Oliver was really after..

Knowledge that a wizard can never refuse.

The idea was to use it to secure influence. It may seem conciliatory at first glance, but considering the wizards' desire for knowledge, it can be said to be coercive..

Even more surprising are Kevin and Burke. It was as if they, who were friendly to the black magic school, were being told to use it to increase their power..

Like a king who gives soldiers and sends generals to the battlefield instead..

Of course, no one asked that directly..

As the story gained momentum, Oliver pointed to Marie..

“Also, would it be okay for Marie to represent me occasionally? To be honest, Marie is better at organizing things than I am..”

“Although I am not a member of the Magic Tower, I know the method.-”

“-Now, just a moment.!”

While Burke was answering, a woman's voice was heard beyond the door..

She was the secretary to Executive Director Burke, and before she could finish her urgent words, the door burst open and a large priest appeared..

Feeling powerful despite his considerable age, he looked at Oliver, Kevin, Marie, Burke, and Eve's fake bodies on the table looking at him..

“Oh, I guess Randaess is carrying out the noisy World Tree project and is having secret talks to lay the foundation for a school of black magic. This was really rude..”

I immediately figured out why Oliver visited this place..

A deduction that can only be made if you know everything about Landa, the Magic Tower, and the creation of the Black Magic School..

The priest introduced himself..

“Current cardinal of the Church of Pater, and treasurer in charge of the finances of the Holy Emperor. Boderick Borjo. I've come to ask the hero of Landa for help..”
