Genius Warlock-Episode 708

708. question (3)

Iwan's offer to help him escape from his fate..

Zone Z, which was once chaotic due to the proposal, became quiet in an instant..

The sound disappeared, the air became cold, and the atmosphere became awkward..

It was like telling an unhealthy joke at a funeral..

Therefore, people's reactions also did not deviate from that trend..

Most people looked at Lee Wan and frowned. As if asking what the hell is this guy?.

However, not everyone was impressed. Meanwhile, there was someone with the same expression as usual..

The person who heard this ridiculous proposal was Oliver..

“That's an interesting suggestion..”

Unlike the others, Oliver took Ewan's suggestion seriously..

The sight caused a small stir among the people around him, but it soon subsided when the Second raised his index finger to his lips..

“I trust you?”

“yes.”

“Oh, this is amazing. I didn't expect you to believe me. You came prepared to persuade me for no reason..”

Lee Wan then took out the script book from his arms and threw it on the floor..

I don't know if it was a joke or real, but Oliver didn't care and dealt with it seriously..

“Unlike other people, I don’t see any sin in Lee Wan..”

“I've been too nice.”

Lee Wan tells lies without blinking an eye..

Oliver didn't refute this and just looked at Ewan in silence. He has deep, bottomless eyes..

Fortunately, Ewan, whose conscience was piqued by Oliver's gaze, immediately declared surrender. He still had a glimmer of conscience left in him..

“Ah Okay! Got it! I am a very bad person. The IOU I have proves this. So don't look at me like that. It's scary..”

Oliver looked away as requested, and Ewan lamented..

“Ha, it's unfair. How can people live without committing sin??”

“I agree with that.”

“really?”

“Yes, it's hard to live without committing sins, me too... I understand..”

“It sounds like you just want to understand.?”

Lee Wan smiles meaningfully. Oliver didn't answer and continued talking..

“Iwan, are you an entity outside the world??”

“That's the academic term here. Ah, but don't look at it too amazingly. Because it’s not something grand like a spirit or a devil. The basic base is human. Just like you. The only difference is that he looks a little better..”

There was a strange comment at the end, but overall people were surprised..

This was because Lee Wan’s words were words that could not be understood with existing common sense..

No, it was not at the level of common sense, but a statement that transcended people's existing values..

A person from another world.

I couldn't even figure out how to react..

But Lee Wan didn’t really care..

Because I had no intention of making everyone understand this story. It was enough for him to understand the person in front of him right now, and fortunately, he seemed to have accepted it to some extent..

“understand.”

“really?”

“There are spirits, there are demons, and there can also be people from other worlds..”

“I have nothing to say because it’s logical..”

“However, I am curious as to how Lee Wan came to exist outside the world..”

“Nothing special. It's possible with 1 percent sweat and 99 percent luck. Is it a product of chance and chance? It just happened by chance while I was struggling because something major had happened in the world I lived in. You can understand them as wanderers and refugees of a unique scale. okay?”

“······Has the world that Lee Wan lived in also come to an end??”

“If I explain them all, there will be no end to them. Let's talk about that later. That's not what's important right now?”

It was 100% correct..

His past history was interesting, but Oliver had more important and urgent things to do right now..

It was a matter of deciding whether or not to accept Lee Wan's offer and escape from the bondage and bondage of fate..

At least that was the most important thing to Oliver right now..

A chance to escape from all pain.

“that's right. The expression “opportunity for genius” is exactly right. Because the archive has been maintained for over a thousand years. It's just the right time.”

“What do you mean?”

“That means my suggestion is that valuable. It's not that easy to escape fate.”

Lee Wan speaks with sincerity. Oliver couldn't deny it..

Oliver himself was the one who tried harder than anyone else to escape his fate, but he knew full well that it was futile..

This was also the reason why I continued to sit helplessly right after my shell broke and I came to my senses..

When I knew that no matter what I did, it was useless, I had no choice but to do that..

When Oliver recalled that memory, he instantly felt a strong urge to accept Iwan's offer..

Because escaping from pain was an instinctive act..

“May I ask why you are suggesting this to me??”

“They say they’re curious about everything..”

“It's a very grateful offer..”

A very sweet offer that came at a time when I needed it. Oliver asked sincerely. Then the grumpy Lee Wan finally told me the reason. It was a completely unexpected reason.

“Let’s call it pity. A heart that hurts at the misfortune of others... Why is this atmosphere like this??”

The atmosphere was really strange.

The people around him who had been silent earlier became even quieter, and Child frowned and looked at Iwan. With an expression like “Ugh”.

Oliver, who was the only one talking, also seemed surprised and speechless..

It was only natural that Lee Wan used the word pity. What was even more surprising was that Lee Wan was sincere..

Lee Wan protested..

“Ah, why are you like this? People are said to be able to pick up trash that falls on the ground even while jaywalking. Being quiet like this hurts me..”

“Oh, sorry. I don't mean that. just······. It's been a while since I received sympathy..”

Actually, saying it's been a while is not enough. Even in the orphanage and mining days, what Oliver received was not pity but contempt. Receiving someone's sympathy was extremely rare and rare..

Lee Wan explained.

“look. Here is the heaviest and dirtiest burden in the world. It even hurts when I lift it. I know who's here?”

No one answered. But everyone listened.

“There is a God, a God who created the world. And then there is the shining son whom he loves the most. He has many other adults.”

Ewan pointed to everyone around him except Oliver..

Marie, the Choosers, the Fighter Crew, the Anti-Development Committee, everyone..

“But everyone is just letting go and letting it go. To a little boy born the day before yesterday.”

The finger that was pointing around suddenly turned towards Oliver's face..

Lee Wan returned to his cheerful tone again..

“So I just suggested it. The more I look at it, the more it sucks. Actually, you probably feel that way too.?”

Oliver couldn't deny it. He agreed to some extent with what Ewan said. When Oliver first guessed his identity, the emotion he felt was, as Ewan said, 'sucky'..

Why do you have to do it? So bad that they even made a deal with a puppet? All he wanted was just, just······.

“I can't guarantee it, but if I escape from the shackles of fate, I might be able to return to my happiest days. To the time when I walked around without caring about anything and satisfied my curiosity..”

It was a very attractive offer..

Now that I think about it, I think those were the happiest times..

I had just come out of the mine and didn't know how to communicate, had no common sense, and lacked knowledge, but I was free to do what I wanted without being restricted by anything..

Everything was fun and everything was free. What if it had stayed that way??

Even if I didn't know anything else, I wouldn't have put in this much effort to find people I knew..

They're trying to do this because of people who have committed sins..

I wanted to stay still, but I couldn't stop as I remembered Kevin and Joanna, the dead Merlin, Rosburn, and Derek, who were desperately trying..

I wanted to go back.

They were all precious memories, but at the same time, I wanted to go back to a time when I knew nothing..

Is this bad? Are you selfish? At that moment, I heard a girl's voice..

“There, there······.”

I couldn't hear it very well, but it was a familiar voice, Nora's voice..

One of the children that Joe takes care of. The reason he takes care of this girl himself is because Oliver killed her own brother..

Because of that, Nora almost poisoned Oliver once, but ultimately failed and everyone was fine..

The girl made her way through the crowd and opened her mouth..

Even though I'm shaking and scared, I desperately try to muster up my courage..

Everyone's eyes were on Nora..

“Sorry! I'll take you there.!!”

Joe's friend Sam, a double gun, pushed through the crowd and tried to take Nora, who came forward. Knowing that Oliver's mood is different, being careful yourself.

“No, leave it alone..”

Sam's body stiffened at those words. As if someone was directly holding the body..

Oliver slowly approached Nora and asked.

“Why are you doing this? Nora.”

Oliver asked Nora what was going on. But I wasn't really curious..

I already knew what Nora wanted, and I could see it clearly..

It's probably asking you to save Joe from prison..

Although it was amazing that a child would do this for an adult bigger than him, I was still feeling a little bored now..

I don't know if it's because I have more experience in the world, because of Oliver's own condition, or because I just keep wishing..

Still, I decided to listen to what he had to say. Somehow, I'll get a hint on how to respond to Lee Wan's suggestion.-

“-promise······. I have no intention of protecting it.?”

“······yes?”

“promise. I asked if you wanted to keep it..”

Nora asked, trembling but straining her eyes and neck. Does she intend to keep the promise she made to her?.

“we······. What did you promise??”

“You said that you would sincerely apologize to me if I made sure to eat well and sleep well every day..”

“······.”

“You asked for time. So that I can sincerely apologize.”

“······Yes, I did..”

Oliver answered. Before going to the New World, before leaving to meet Joanna, before meeting the devil himself. he said something like that.

It was closer to a request than a promise, but.

“I forgot.”

Oliver said shamelessly. Meeting a person who has been burned is so intense that you forget about such things..

The fact that he told Oliver that he was a noble being was so shocking. Oliver completely forgot about it..

His head was so full of his own work that he had no time to remember the promise he made to the little girl..

Sniffle.

In return for her laziness, the girl rubbed her wet eyes. The girl who is not Oliver.

The girl showed a strong sense of betrayal and disappointment, but at the same time, she also showed more emotions than that..

Concern and affection for Joe. Because to her, Joe was her family.

“are you okay······. Even if I don't get an apology.”

the girl lied.

“Instead, please do me a favor.?”

“crazy······.”

Someone muttered at the young girl’s bold request..

Because it was dangerous to ask Oliver for such a favor now. Of course, Nora is stupid and she doesn't know that..

There was a time when her emotions got so strong that she tried to poison herself, which didn't work, but she also changed. Learn the trouble her group will be in because of her actions,

Still, she tried to ask a foolish favor..

Judging from the conversation between Ewan and Oliver, I think there is no chance to do such a reckless thing other than now..

Oliver responded to that reckless action..

“under······. haha.”

With laughter, not words.

The bodies of everyone around me stiffened. Most people here had never heard Oliver laugh..

Of course I didn't know how to react. Just amazed.

“Eve. Pandora).”

Oliver's Call to the Sky.

At the call, two women appeared from the crowd..

Pandora appeared in a new body, and Eve entered a fake body made based on the tree Oliver had made. Luckily it seemed to work well.

The two waited without revealing themselves until Oliver called them, and when Oliver called, they revealed themselves..

“I need you to find out something. Is it possible??”

Oliver immediately took out the business..

Pandora and Eve. I asked them both what they were curious about..

“Puppet is preparing something in the kingdom capital. Could you please take a look at it? There are a few things I heard from Mr. Willes..”

Willes. One of the leaders of the Kel Free Independence Army.

He first met Oliver after discovering that the Crown Prince of the United Kingdom worshiped the devil, and eventually fled to Landa with a druid..

The druid knew that the Crown Prince had a close relationship not only with demons, but also with Puppet, and that Puppet was preparing something based on this..

Pandora answered.

“Yes, it is possible. father.”

“is it so?”

“Yes, I actually know to some extent. I did some personal research and found out a few things..”

“What is it?”

“We are currently preparing to summon a demon into the heart of the largest and most advanced kingdom..”
