Genius Warlock - Genius Warlock chapter 284

284. The man who saved the world once (3)

“You who worked hard, leave.”

A man suddenly appeared and made an incomprehensible sound.

Of course, everyone was bewildered and silent.

Poor brothers, raided gangs, even druids.

The man read the awkward atmosphere and spoke at once.

“uh? don’t you know? Even 20 years ago, it was quite a buzzword. The sorrow of the years…”

A man who speaks incomprehensible words.

Some thought he was crazy.

Druid was one of them, but the druid’s unique nib, which was trained to the extreme, told me that the man in front of me was not an ordinary person.

said the druid, sniffing.

“…are you a warlock?”

“That’s why I like druids. Is the story moving fast? How are you? An unknown druid friend, a passing warlock. Nice to meet you.”

An attitude that doesn’t fit in the middle of a fight where people are dying.

The druid felt a strange alienation and anger.

Because the existence in front of him seems to be making fun of himself.

“How the hell did you get here?”

“I saw the direction the finger was pointing.”

“Are you kidding me now?”

“I’m not kidding, look at this.”

The man rummaged through his cloak and pulled out his severed hand. Hands that are as dry as jerky.

It had a disgusting appearance, but it was even worse because she was wearing a lot of bad amulets.

“It’s a milestone. I’ll teach you with my fingers so that I can meet the person I want to meet… The downside is that he only works when he wants to, but he’s not lazy today. So here I am.”

“…who are you here to meet?”

“Is your finger that person? The person you are stepping on right now. By any chance, that one cant?”

Cant under the druid’s feet answered.

“exactly······. Do you know me?”

“Let’s call it an acquaintance of an acquaintance……. Hey Druid. You took one arm, so why not just step back after doing this? Do you think that’s enough to fill your anger?”

“Why should I do that?”

“Because the person under your feet may have saved the world once. Have some respect.”

You’re the one who saved the world once. The absurd bullshit made the Druid only laugh.

“I heard that there are a lot of crazy people in the sewer… Kill me.”

The gangs hired by the druids turned their guns from the beggars to the cloaked men.

The man with the cloak muttered sadly.

“ah······. I hate violence.”

With those words, the man took out a green bean from his bosom, which sprouted and grew explosively, winding up the gangs aiming their guns and crushing them.

“Turn it off…”

-pop!

-pop!

-pop!

-pop!

-pop!

The five gangs exploded like water balloons.

At that sight, the rest of the gangs turned white and their morale was broken.

Because it was a very inhuman and malicious attack.

“Look, violence is not good.”

“Bean Thief??!!”

As if the druid had noticed the man with the cloak, he took out the beans and made a large bean stalk to counter the man’s attack.

Two bean stalks intertwined like arrowroot.

Of course, it was normal for the Druid to win. Giving beans the power of nature to create superhuman strength was originally a Druid skill.

However, somehow, the warlock’s bean stalks gradually overpowered the druid’s bean stalks and began to break them.

Ududududu…Duk! Wow…! now!!

The druid was perplexed, but with his quick judgment he brushed away the bean stalks, narrowed the distance and attempted to attack the man with the cloak directly.

“Uhhhh-!!”

The druid roared and wielded the power of nature in his fist.

The fist that broke the tunnel, the wizard, the warlock, and the exoskeleton armor.

Obviously, it was the fist that had broken everything, but for some reason, his fist was lightly clogged by the hand of the warlock in front of him.

It doesn’t look like it would use that much power.

“Don’t be too surprised. It’s not because of my strength, it’s because of the item.”

I looked around and saw that the man in the cloak was wearing gloves. An eerie glove that is a mixture of red and pink like human flesh.

The druid reflexively tried to wield the opposite hand out of physiological disgust, but the man with the cloak only lightly bent his wrist to subdue the druid.

A rat as big as a wild dog tried to help the druid, but the man with the cloak wouldn’t even allow it.

“The moment you move the mouse, you will break this friend Moji, are you okay?”

When the other hand grabbed the druid’s neck, the other druid, who had been hiding under control of the mouse, stopped the mouse.

A stranger who suddenly appeared and subdued the two druids. He grabbed his hand and whispered into the ear of the subdued druid.

“I didn’t come to fight you guys… how is it? Shall we end here? Or would you like to go easy?”

The choice wasn’t difficult.

The subdued druid left with the gang, and the cloaked man approached Cant, whose arm was cut off and his face paled.

“Are you okay?”

“Wooing. First of all, thank you for your help. But, who are you?”

In a state in which it would not be strange to lose consciousness immediately, Kant thanked the unidentified man and investigated his identity at the same time.

I did this because I was the head of an organization. I couldn’t tell if the existence in front of me was a dangerous person or not.

“Call me Ewan. Ewan Bremner, a brilliant craftsman of all kinds of miracles, a genius negotiator of beans and cattle, a great debtor, a great wanderer… Wait, excuse me.”

The man in the cloak took out a blood replenishment potion with a needle and a painkiller, put it on Cant, disinfected the wounded area, and wrapped it with a bandage. very skillful

“Wooing. Why did you help me?”

The man in the cloak skillfully wrapped the bandages and answered.

“Did I tell you before? He might be the one who saved the world once. So you saved me.”

***

thump. thump. thump.

Oliver visited the beggars in an abandoned sewer under the land he had visited with Jane in the past.

This is my third visit.

In the past, many beggars gathered to form a small town, but now they all crumble as if they had been attacked, and bodies were scattered all over the place.

There were, of course, living beggars, but the placenta had suffered major and minor injuries.

“I’ve been busy with work, but I’m here quickly.”

When Oliver arrived at the center, Ewan greeted him.

It was like meeting an unexpected person in a completely unexpected place.

“Well······. What are you most curious about?”

Ian asked first.

“Yes?”

“What are you most curious about?”

“Where is Cant-sama?”

Oliver pondered for a moment, then asked what he thought he was most curious about.

Iwan nodded and pointed to the beggar’s tent that was barely attached.

“There it is.”

Oliver politely thanked Lee Wan for calling him and guiding him, then slowly approached the tent.

thump. thump. thump.

Upon entering, I could see Cant sleeping with one arm cut off.

“·················ogue.”

“How did you get here?”

Cant, waking up from his innocence, spoke to Oliver, who was staring at him without saying a word.

Upon hearing the question, Oliver was silent for a moment, then answered mechanically.

“·········I have been contacted by Lee Wan. I heard that Cant-sama was injured.”

Cant, whose head was dazed by painkillers, forced his dull head to move.

“ah······. Someone you know, someone you know means that… Do you know him?”

“Yeah, somehow…. Are you in better shape than that?”

That wasn’t a very good question for someone who had one arm amputated, but cant just laugh.

“It’s fine except for the dizziness from the painkillers… How else does he know me?”

“I happened to be talking about Cant-sama……. sorry.”

“I’m sorry, but thanks to that, I survived, and although he’s a crazy person, he saved the lives of me and our members thanks to him. Thank you. To him and to you.”

Cant say it sincerely, not with pretense.

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Normally I should have felt a little better at times like this, but strangely, I didn’t feel that way this time.

this… What should I say?

“…who attacked?”

“Don’t worry.”

“I am just curious. Who attacked?”

“It’s just a small quarrel at work. Widespread on the land. You don’t care.”

Cant tried to convince Oliver, but it didn’t work out.

Rather, Oliver was only guessing with the keywords ‘work’, ‘quarrel’ and ‘landa’.

“········Cant-sama. I took a picture of Sheamus’ secret hotel meeting.”

“…to be precise, one of our members did it. Being a hotel employee… I was quicker than that. I was young when I came here before. Heh heh.”

“Is it because of money?”

“In the end, it is… Can you come here for a second?”

Cant asked while he was distracted by injuries and painkillers.

Unable to understand the English language, Oliver, as Cant requested, knelt down on one knee and leaned closer to Cant. He grabbed Oliver’s hand with his only wrinkled hand.

“Are you my friend?”

“······Yes.”

“And do you owe me too? You took me to the polluted area.”

“······Yes.”

“So now, as a friend, I will ask you to pay the debt.”

“If it’s Sheamus-sama, I-”

“Do not take revenge.”

“······Yes?”

“I told you not to take revenge. Don’t be angry. This is my request as a friend.”

Cant spoke to Oliver with sincerity. He really wanted Oliver not to take revenge or get angry. Mixing concerns about Oliver as well.

All of a sudden, Oliver was confused. It was really confusing.

“Am I angry right now?”

“If not, I’m glad.”

“Why can’t I be angry?”

“I just wish you didn’t. I like your unique personality.”

“Is my personality unique?”

“A lot of.”

Cant laughed. Every time he smiled, the injured part shook and anguished, but he laughed. for Oliver.

“How is my personality unique?”

“To seem foolish, to be smart, to look weak, to be stubborn, not to be angry, to see everything as valuable . . . I like your personality So, please, don’t let revenge, anger, or hatred over this kind of thing. Such feelings… It’s very addictive. I wish you didn’t.”

Oliver blinked.

“However-“

“-I am not a victim.”

“·················ogue.”

“Right now, I am just a victim and a perpetrator. I have committed many sins. They drove homeless mothers and daughters out of their homes, sold their children to brothels, extorted sincere workers, and maimed and killed many people. It’s because of the money.”

“·················ogue.”

“I just got it back now. You’re not going to be mad.”

Cant squeezed Oliver’s hand. I could feel his heart even though I didn’t see it with the eyes of a warlock.

“I do not intend to convey the word of the priest to you. ‘Cause I don’t deserve it just······. Don’t be angry. Can you do this friend’s request?”

Cant gave up his pretense of being okay and asked sternly.

As if desperately protecting something precious.

Oliver was silent for a while before answering.

“I promise.”

“Thank you. Thank you so much······. I am tired now.”

Cant closed his eyes as if he had finished his purpose.

Oliver looked down at Cant for a long time and then came out of the tent.

Ian was standing and waiting.

“Did you have a good conversation?”

“Yes······.”

“And you must have a lot of questions for me.”

That was true. I was curious about many things, such as how I got here, no, why I had visited this place before. But before that, I had work to do.

“thank you. Lee Wan.”

Oliver bowed politely and thanked Lee Wan.

Lee Wan made a surprised expression.

“Suddenly the conversation becomes strange?”

“Ah, you didn’t explain… Thanks for helping Cant. Lee Wan. As I said, I have a lot of questions, but I think it’s right to say thank you first. Thank you again.”

“I didn’t know you would be so grateful.”

“He’s my friend… If it’s okay with you, can I ask you to take care of me and escort me for a while?”

“It’s not impossible, but I’m expensive, right?”

“If it’s money-”

“-ah. oh oh A thief is a thief who solves this with money.”

“then······?”

“Hmmm, how about granting my request later? A request must be repaid with a favor.”

Oliver nodded in agreement. It didn’t sound wrong.

“Yes, I understand.”

“Well, you know something. I give this in return for a good deal.”

Iwan pulled out two tonpas from his cloak. It was a tonpa made from part of a meat hammer that was entrusted to me in the past.

“This is what I asked for last time.”

“Yeah, I made it a long time ago, but giving it away is cumbersome. Is there any problem?”

“No, thank you for returning it at the right time.”

Oliver was handed a tonfa with an answer.

“What are you going to do now?”

“I have to go to work…. I came here at work.”

***

After breaking up with Iwan, Oliver went back the way he had come.

It was dark because it was an abandoned sewer, and the sound of quartersteps hitting the floor regularly echoed with every step.

Just right. Just right. Just right. Just right. Just….

After walking for a while, Oliver stopped as if possessed by something.

With him, dozens of mice, large and small, came out through the sewer crevice.

The vicious rats that feed on their people and their corpses in the sewers.

Cheeky-! Take it! Cheeky-! Take it!

regular ringing sound.

However, Oliver didn’t care whether he was really possessed by something or the swarm of mice, and sat on his buttocks on the protruding part of the sewer and pulled something out of his arms.

It was five letters.

“Well, I can’t stand it…. sorry. old man.”

As if giving up, Oliver opened the letter and looked at the contents inside.

Inside was a letter. It was a letter written in a rather vague handwriting.

Meanwhile, the large and small rats completely surrounded Oliver, and when the siege was over, two beings with the power of nature quietly appeared.

They were Sheamus’ men who attacked Cant.

“Waiting for a while would be such a good luck. Can you bring a present to the boss? You are obviously-”

“-Shhhh. Please wait a moment.”

Oliver put a finger on his lips and said. And then I continued to read the letter.
