Genius Warlock-Episode 642
642. airship (4)
Beep! Beep! Beep!
A station that hurriedly left after hearing an emergency call..
An airship approached above them..
The station staff, who were alert as soon as they saw the airship, quickly grabbed the communication device and contacted somewhere, with one person blowing a whistle and moving the flag in both hands..
Chwii Iik Iik-!
The airship descended slowly and carefully and landed safely on the ground, emitting gas..
“I think I'm so fine?”
“yes?”
“I heard there was an attack.?”
“You're fine.?”
The air traffic controllers in charge of communication with the airship exchanged opinions with each other..
Just a few minutes ago, they received a report through the emergency network that an airship had been attacked by terrorists and suffered extensive damage..
They say that an emergency landing is requested because a hole has appeared in the air sac, which is the lifeline of the airship..
Anyone in the aviation industry would be shocked..
They hurriedly vacated their seats to make room for the airship to land..
But what is this? Instead of being damaged, it looked fine..
“wait for a sec······.”
Someone noticed something strange and said.
A huge airship carrying hundreds of people and luggage gave off five colors and shimmered like a mirage, and its appearance began to change as if makeup was being removed..
Pushyyy.
As the five-colored light disappeared, the gas was released, the shriveled air sacs and the damaged engine compartment were revealed..
Only then did people understand the situation and approach the airship..
***
“Please calmly ask each person one by one..”
Thanks to the magic idea that combines the world tree and space magic, the passengers who survived from death got off in an orderly manner, one by one, under the guidance of the flight attendant..
At first glance, everyone seems calm, but if you look closely, they all look haggard, as if they have aged 10 years..
Well, hijacking and airship crash. I went through something that was difficult to experience in my life at the same time..
At least this was the extent of it thanks to the nuns and knights who calmed down the passengers..
As proof, devout passengers expressed their gratitude to the nun who helped the flight attendants ensure that the passengers got off safely..
“thank you.”
“you're welcome. Brother. ”
“Thank you Sister.”
“Yes, you were very brave. little brother.”
“nun······.”
“nun!”
Everyone, young and old, expressed their sincere gratitude to the nun..
It was the wizard who saved me, but it was she who comforted my heart..
Thanks to that, she stayed busy even after getting off the airship..
Of course, she wasn't the only one busy..
Reporters who were always thirsty for scoops came to know about it like a pack of hyenas and asked the captain what happened..
Some of them discreetly asked Cardinal Roderick for an interview..
To the leader of the Holy Paterism. It could be said that it was an age of immorality where faith had faded..
However, rather than showing his displeasure to reporters, Roderick gave reporters a brief overview of the incident and promised to provide further details through a Paterrean spokesman..
reporters were happy.
“Oh oh······! As expected, it's just as rumored. It's definitely different from other cardinal priests..”
“They say all the warlocks committed suicide and they couldn't figure out who was behind it, but I think they say it was in the central part of the continent.?”
“That makes sense! The warlocks over there are no joke right now.?”
“That's a scoop. Let's write!!”
“wait for a sec! We should also interview the people who saved the airship..”
“The paladins didn't save it.?”
“They say it was magic that lifted the crashing airship. Passengers testified.”
“I heard they used an unknown magic.?”
“Where are the wizards??!”
The reporters looked around looking for new prey..
However, they couldn't find the wizards..
It was because I had already asked for permission and left the room..
***
A corner just downstairs from the top of the flight station..
Oliver pursed his lips and massaged between his eyes..
I looked tired, and I was actually tired..
However, the reason was not to use Ideas, which handle vast amounts of magic and information that ordinary wizards cannot even attempt..
Honestly, it wasn't that hard for Oliver..
However, this was a bit difficult.
Rossburn secretly followed Oliver, wanting to help him somehow..
“······.”
Rosburn was shaking his head, speechless, as if he were a criminal..
At first, I had the courage to say I wanted to help, but.
By the way, that was an incredibly brave act..
Especially considering that Rossburn lived most of his life as an innkeeper in Goa..
A life where obedience is a virtue rather than courage.
Such a boy said that he wanted to help a man called Landa's hero, new fingers, etc..
Either I was crazy, I didn't understand the topic, or I was really brave..
In the case of Rossburn, it was the third time..
However, that courage was crushed by Oliver's silence and frowning brows. The boy was made into an inn maid again..
That wasn't what Oliver intended. It was the same as when a rabbit runs away when a lion appears..
And it wasn't just Rossburn who was affected..
Kevin, Yarely, and Derek. These three were also influenced by Oliver's emotions to a different degree, and even though they saved the airship, they remained frozen..
Oliver's power and position had the power to do so..
Under that heavy pressure, someone opened their mouth..
It was Rossburn..
“Sorry, sorry... teacher.”
Creeping voices and shrunken shoulders.
Oliver recalled Mattel's memory from that sight..
‘Please save me······.’
Not a very pleasant memory.
That memory helped Oliver's judgment..
“Rossburn. Let's go back first..”
A tone closer to an order rather than an invitation.
Just as Oliver was about to take out the paper from his arms, Jarelli stopped his hand..
unexpected reaction.
Oliver looked at Yareli..
Those eyes seemed to be asking 'What are you doing?'.
It was a look that was not typical of Oliver, but Yareli did not back down..
“Can I talk to you for a moment??”
“What are you talking about??”
“······Please.”
An unknown pressure weighed down on Yareli, but he repeatedly asked, and eventually Oliver did as he said..
Oliver and Jarelli excused themselves and went further into the corner..
“Why are you doing that??”
“I feel like it's different than usual.”
“is that so?”
“Are you saying that because you're worried about a kid named Rossburn?.”
“······I'm sorry, but you're saying that because you don't know much.-”
“-I don't really know. Zenon told me the story about how he rescued me from Mattel..”
Yarelli's words left Oliver speechless..
It was like that. Oliver once told me.
When they stopped Theodore's plan in Lake Village and headed to Ark Orphanage, Oliver told them about the kidnapping of Martel and Rosburn, his request for help from Joanna, and the story of being rejected..
“I also know why Zenon is so worried. The human experiments that Ross Byrne and her children underwent... Because it was terrible.”
Yareli's words contained many meanings and emotions..
“For the reincarnation project, we first tried to modify the children's bodies into ones suitable for magic..”
“Did I even tell you that??”
I remember only explaining the outline of the incident. Then Yareli gave an unexpected answer..
“I did my own research... don't you remember?”
“······?”
“I promised that the problem at the Magic Tower would gradually improve. That's what I would do..”
“······ah.”
Oliver let out a short gasp..
There was a time like that.
Here in Gallos.
At that time, the human flesh cook was creating chaos in the city to summon a demon, and in the meantime, Yareli made such a promise..
Oliver actually forgot for a moment, but.
Maybe he was intentionally trying to forget. Because I didn't want to remember what the human meat chef said..
Maybe that's why I was trying to forget everything.
“sorry.”
“are you okay. Anyway, after that day, I tried my best to investigate. The evils of Magic Tower, such as Mattel and human experimentation..”
Yareli's guilt and shame shined through..
“can you figure it out on your own?”
“I was lucky. The wizards of the Life School who possessed the data themselves handed it over to us.,”
“······.”
“My grandmother is stealing life school wizards..”
“ah······.”
“What I want to say is that I understand Zenon's concerns about Rosburn. But if you're really worried, you shouldn't kick them out like this. You need to understand.”
Oliver was silent..
“I just want to be helpful to Zenon and be recognized. All kids that age have it..”
“is that so?”
“Don't you have Zenon??”
Cant's face appeared in response to Yareli's question..
“······I think I know a little bit.”
“me too. He wanted to be accepted by his grandmother, who was his only family after his father left..”
Yareli's father. The process of Kevin entering the Magic Tower A person who was defeated by Kevin and was kicked out of the Magic Tower.
When I thought about it, there was something strange about this combination..
Kevin and Yareli have a friendly relationship..
“Because the world is complicated... Not wanting to disappoint her grandmother like her father, she studied late every day and practiced magic. Be polite. To be praised for doing a good job by her grandmother. It's still the same now... Rossburn is no different..”
Sincerity.
“So I know. If I go back to Landa like I'm kicking you out like this, I'll be hurt..”
This too is sincere.
Then Oliver's head became confused..
“But you can't take them with you. The place we are going is a dangerous place..”
Oliver left out one reason..
One of the reasons was Roderick. Oliver hoped he didn't care about Rosburn. I already saw it.
“That's why I'm telling you, even if it falls a little bit, how about leaving it in a safe place??”
“Sorry, but I don't know anyone in Gallos I can trust..”
“What about Arc Orphanage??”
“yes?”
“Ark Orphanage. I've only been there once, but I think I can trust the director there. I'll take you there.”
It's Ark Orphanage..
Oliver remembered his first visit there and the director..
The children boasted about the broken pump and Joanna, and the director who talked to Oliver about forgiveness in the middle of the night..
As Yareli said, it was just that one time, but somehow it felt like they could entrust Rosburn to him..
“Is there a difference? Falling is the same.”
“There is a clear difference between sending something back and leaving it far away for a while. If you're really worried about Rossburn, you'd better do what I say..”
confident, sincere.
When Oliver saw Yareli's feelings, he had nothing to say in response..
Come to think of it, Oliver was the same way..
When Cant tried to get Landa's welfare budget, Oliver tried to help even though Cant didn't ask for help..
If you substitute the memories of that time and Rossburn, it wasn't something you couldn't understand..
Oliver himself sympathized..
“······That seems like a good idea. But are you okay??”
“What?”
Oliver asked, and Yarely asked back..
The situation is the opposite of the first time.
“That's what you told me. Even if you tell me that Grand Master Tilda has secured a Life School mage..”
Oliver was once Merlin's student. And stealing a wizard from a school was an implicit taboo..
In other words, what Tilda did could have been quite serious..
But you revealed that to convince Oliver..
Yareli smiled again..
“······I just think it should be like that..”
***
As per Yarely's persuasion, we decided to leave Rosburn at Ark Orphanage for a while..
Yareli went to the bar with Derek, taking Rosburn with him..
Fortunately, Rosburn complied. Although the reason was because of sin,.
‘I said it wasn't because I was in the way, but... I'll have to tell you again later... Will the orphanage do me a favor? I sent you a letter about Joanna's news, so I don't think she will reject it..
Oliver thought to himself in his hotel room..
It was Roderick who suggested that we rest for one night and then move on..
It was a kind of reward for saving a crashed airship..
[······Around three o'clock this afternoon. An airship made an emergency landing at Yujong Station. The reason for the emergency landing was terrorism by warlock terrorists, and the authorities said······.]
The news was playing on the guest room radio. With that sound in the background, Oliver asked Kevin a question..
“professor.”
“why?”
“Professor, have you seen the emotional state of warlocks through their eyes??”
“uh.”
Kevin answered. Because it was Oliver who opened those eyes in the first place..
“Was there anything awkward??”
“Of course there was.”
Kevin, as is his personality, got right back to the point..
“There are a lot of things I don't understand compared to the size of what was done. I couldn't see any determination, will, or, above all, a clear purpose. Given the nature of the crime of hijacking an airship, that makes no sense... It felt like the goal was to fail..”
Oliver activated his warlock eye and looked around. Even though there was no one there, he projected his magic power through his feet and isolated the interior of the room..
“Like a self-made play.?”
Oliver recalled the note the nun gave him. [Beware of Cardinal Priest Roderick].
“okay.”
“is that possible?”
“It's difficult. Self-made drama is a stupider strategy than you might think. Lies are exposed, and the truth cannot be completely hidden. It's not a concept like encouragement and punishment. This is how the world works. Of course, even if the truth is revealed, believing it is another thing..”
“The point is that this is a stupid plan..”
Kevin nodded..
“If you're not a stupid person but use stupid strategies, what's the reason??”
“Either you have confidence that you can handle that level of risk without any worries, or you have safety measures in place..”
“What is the safe way to work on the platform prepared by such a person??”
“You would know. It's also a solution scam... I need to shake the plate.”
“Well, wouldn't it be dangerous??”
“The original world is dangerous. Among them, staying still is the most dangerous..”
Knock. Knock.
Oliver and Kevin were talking when someone knocked on the door..
Oliver opened the door as if he had been waiting, and there was a sturdy man wearing a mask. No, a corpse doll. No, Childe was standing there..
The Landa Branch of the Chosen One created to assist Cardinal Priest Armand in his work..
It was the Child-Forth left behind for the safety and work of the place..
As requested by Oliver, Force was holding a bag containing a large amount of documents in his right hand..
“bad guy!”
Force shouted as soon as he saw Oliver..
The chosen one was not only entrusted with the security of the Gallos branch, but he was also entrusted with a huge task, such as finding the secret safe hidden by the human meat cook, so it could be said that it was truly justified anger..
However, Oliver was also unfair..
Every time you find and obtain the Human Meat Chef's secret safe, you are given an incentive of several tens of Randa..
I've had a lot of money to spend these days, so I thought that was enough money..
“fuck.”
Child-Force still got angry thinking about that incident and swore..
Oliver convinced Force that swearing was bad, and Force criticized Oliver for not being funny..
Truly equal. Kevin interjected..
“What is the bag in your hand??”
“Ah, this is something I asked Force for. The day I was offered this job to Cardinal Roderick, I contacted him and asked him for it..”
“So what is that??”
“Data from continental central warlocks..”
I was thinking of listening to Cardinal Roderick's request, saying that what is good is good, but I had no intention of relying solely on his information..
Even if he was a Cardinal Priest, he wasn't someone you could trust like Forrest..
“I investigated it alone in a foreign country.?”
“There are people who helped. Forrest, you know the information dealers here, Millieu, and Mr. Murphy..”
Child nodded, wondering if it was true..
Well, it would be hard for them to refuse a request from Oliver's creature, Force..
Oliver put the bag on the table and began to look at it..
Although there were some contents that were consistent with the data Roderick showed as a preview, there were also discrepancies..
For example, the devil worship practiced by some warlocks.
