107. Dirty and variable work (1)
Afterwards, Oliver accidentally took Jane’s tutoring to learn common sense not only in the afterlife but also in the outside world.
For example, I learned that this Landa, where Oliver lives, is part of the united kingdom.
Jane said the United Kingdom was a world superpower.
‘It is a magical advanced country, a prince who rules the sea, and the world’s most powerful country that has built numerous colonies.’
Although there was an exaggeration in his tone, his feelings were sincere, and he actually brought a world map and pointed out each place under the rule of the United Kingdom.
Surprisingly, the United Kingdom was only a small island nation, but it ruled over a vast colony that was dozens of times that.
It is said that they rule over a place called the New World, an unknown empire in the East, and even the coastal city of the world’s oldest Si Empire.
When asked how she ruled over a territory like this, Jane said that she had been peacefully transferred with advanced culture and sincere diplomacy.

Not only that, but even now, he said that he would give them advanced culture as a gift and establish a policy that is beneficial to them as much as possible to strengthen their faith and trust.Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Note that this part is false. A very blatant lie.In any case, she explained that the united kingdom is the world’s leader, peacemaker, and center of the world.
‘And here in Landa is the most special place in the United Kingdom.’
When asked what the reason was, Jane said with her big breasts wide open.
‘Landa belongs to the United Kingdom, but on the other hand, it is also on an equal footing with the United Kingdom.’
According to Jane, it is no exaggeration to say that Landa is now the second capital of the United Kingdom.
In fact, it has already been said that economic power ranks first when compared only with a single force, and even the capital city does not dare to compare, but the gap is increasing rather than narrowing every year.
For that reason, 30-40% of the kingdom’s national budget is covered by Randa’s taxes.
In such a situation, according to the city agreement signed during the initial land redevelopment, not only the royal family, but also the central assembly could not recklessly interfere with the landa.
Some even called Landa ‘a country within a country’.
I thought it was just a big city, but I don’t think Oliver was wrong.
Oliver praised Jane for being really smart, but Jane falsely shivered humbly as if it was nothing.
For example, Landa’s corporate, political system, election methods, etc.

Not only that, he also explained about the magic user and Pinkman, which would be difficult to understand unless someone involved in this area.‘A magician is literally someone who uses magic. You can’t use magic, but you have magical powers, so you can use that to strengthen your body or use tools to create magical effects, even if primitive. By the way, Duncan is also a mana user. He said it was magic hypertrophy.’
‘Oh, I see····. So what is Pink Man? I’ve heard it a few times in the past, and Duncan and Nina also said that they were from Pinkman. What the hell is Pink Man?’
‘It’s a private security company, but they say it’s actually a highly advanced mercenary company. A mercenary company of strong individuals and organized units. In addition, there are professional manpower comparable to the police department, and it is said that large-scale people such as city councilors and companies mainly use them.’
In fact, as if to prove this, in the contents of the newspaper article, there was an article that Pinkman’s office was in charge of security for central political or city council members.
In addition, there was a story of a large-scale protest of tens of thousands of people in a coal mining village in Northland was captured and suppressed at once.
If you look at the attached photo, hundreds of people were lying on the floor, bleeding, and men who looked like Pink Man were smiling with their thumbs up.
Below the photo was written the phrase “After the suppression of the McMahon protests, the human butcher”.
I thought it was a bit overkill, but apart from that, the ability looked good.
In addition, Jane said that Pinkman also has a number of mercenary networks, so he can mobilize thousands of people in a short period of time if he wants to.
It didn’t seem like too much of an exaggeration to say that they were one of the most powerful armed groups in Landa.
When Oliver asked how he knew so much, Jane replied that he had heard it either from Duncan or his father.
That said, the nature of the business often hires them.
There’s so much to learn, so Oliver thanked Jane once again, who, with a charming smile, taps Oliver’s shoulder or chest saying it’s okay.
Each time the magic item on his wrist worked, he couldn’t figure out what kind of magic item it was.
It’s also difficult to ask.
Then suddenly, Duncan summoned the solvers.
“I am going to be away for a while today.”
As soon as the solvers gathered, he spoke at once.
Everyone was bewildered by the sudden notice, but he added an additional explanation as to whether he was aware of it.
“Sorry all of a sudden. It seems that the Lord has called you and you have to leave for a while.”
As at the first meeting, Druid Scott raised his hand.
“Well, it doesn’t matter, but how could you fall for it so suddenly? that····. Are you your daughter?”
“sorry. I am employed by the elderly, but at the same time, I also take care of their families. If there was an elderly person, I would have been able to refuse somehow, but now I can’t.”
This time Oliver asked.
“Where did Edith go?”
“Yeah, I left the city for a while to get some taxes on my property. It’s kind of like a business trip.”
Oliver thought for a moment. Then, I guess I can’t go any further.
Whether or not she had the same thoughts as Oliver, Nina of Horseman sharply asked the question.
“Then, are you going to take all the bodyguards here too?”
“no. That’s not it. All but one will remain here and do their usual business. In other words, the number of security personnel will not be reduced.”
“Oh, that’s good. I hate being overworked as much as dying.”
Scott said, flipping his green hair back.
It didn’t mean that there was actually no hole in the work, and the other solvers seemed relieved.
‘It’s a little subtle.’
Oliver was relieved, but thought, looking at a few other subtle emotions.
It was awkward, but it was still subtle to say.
In the end, Duncan repeatedly apologized, promised to return as soon as possible, and then left the mansion.
There wasn’t really any big problem.
I didn’t feel much sense because the security personnel didn’t decrease according to his words. That’s probably because Duncan only looked around occasionally and didn’t have frequent contact with the fixers.
On the other hand, Jane, who is in frequent contact with Duncan, seems anxious and comes to Oliver and other solvers with cakes and cookies more often than before.
The fixers didn’t like it at all, but Oliver was the same.
Jane gave a good explanation of basic common sense, current affairs, and unfamiliar groups.
Thanks to you, I was able to learn a lot, and it seemed like I really studied hard.
It’s more than just learning because you like it.
As I listened to what he said, I felt something awkward to call it a passion for learning.
Duncan’s gone and the same day as any other day,
Scott came over and opened his mouth.
“swimming·····. Aren’t you getting too close to the girl you need to protect?”
He approached Oliver, who was reading the newspaper again after breaking up with Jane, and started talking to him.
It wasn’t too strange.
He easily approached anyone and talked to them. Thanks to that, my feet were wide enough to joke around with other solvers.
“You taught me this and that.”
“hahaha····. Did you really come out after training in the sewer?”
“Where did you hear that?”
“Even though I haven’t been here in a while, I have a wide network. Thanks to you, I have a lot to pick up and listen to. Are you a druid?”
he said confidently.
It’s not too wrong to say, Druids were special.
As evidence of that, all religions except for Paterism were sold as cults. Only, Druidism was implicitly recognized as a religion.
This was due to several factors, the decisive factor being that druids could use special powers as much as wizards and paladins.
Because he was able to use the power of nature to use his surroundings, strengthen his body, and even manipulate the world tree.
That’s why Scott said arrogantly.
“Druids are as welcome everywhere as wizards. No, maybe more than a wizard. It’s rare and rare, but it can be active in a wider range. It’s versatile.”
“Ah, I heard it too. Can you connect with nature and borrow its power?”
“No, these days, they say that they use it rather than borrow it. It is our right.”
Scott raised his finger and said.
At the same time, aggressive emotions such as the desire for conquest, the need for rewards, ambition, and pleasure sparked like a spark.
“Ah yes····.”
“Sure. Remember! Old folks see nature as something that should be protected and worshiped, but we see it as something to be used and controlled. The bowl is different.”
“okay····. So can I use the World Capital?”
Scott drank the water without answering right away. I pretended to be casual, but I was rolling my head, but I couldn’t seem to figure it out.
“…why are you asking that?”
“Just? . . . I am interested in the world tree.”
“Kyahahahak! Not a wizard, a warlock? A waste of time, a waste of energy. I can’t even access the World Tree, so why?”
“Can’t you use black magic?”
Oliver asked puzzled.
“Of course. Didn’t you learn that too? I must have learned it by mistake.”
For a moment, Oliver almost said he had logged in once in the past.
There were some bewildering parts, but the connection itself was not that difficult. In a way, it was even natural.
It’s like fitting a key into a keyhole.
However, I wasn’t ignorant enough to say this, but fortunately, Scott opened his mouth first.
“How do you think dealing with the world tree would be so easy?”
He placed his arm friendlyly on Oliver’s shoulder.
“The world tree is something that druids can’t easily handle, and wizards can’t handle it even more easily. I felt it from the first time I saw it, but I have no common sense.”
“is that so?”
“No way. Fools who don’t know anything think that the World Tree is a convenient tree, but it’s absolutely not. It’s a sea of turbulent information, but it has its own will. So, if you don’t like it, be grumpy.”
Oliver frowned.
Do you have a will to the world tree? This was something Oliver didn’t even know about.
“Is that so?”
“Then, the wizards deny that they are not……. Anyway, using such a world tree is like swimming barefoot in a volatile sea. It’s good to follow.”
“Well····. okay.”
“The less you know, the easier it seems. I understand.”
It certainly wasn’t wrong. Suddenly, I thought of studying the world tree again.
Recently, I have been paying attention to the cemetery doll, so I neglected studying the world tree for a while, but I felt a little guilty. But at the same time, I was happy.
There is so much to learn in this world. Isn’t it fun?
The druid continued to explain, putting his arm on Oliver’s shoulder.
“Learning a wizard or a druid or a world tree is very difficult and time consuming. If you don’t have talent, it will take 1 or 2 years just to log in, and 5 or 6 years to use it properly. So, even if you can only do net sailing, you are treated as a high-level manpower wherever you go. So don’t have any hopes. Okay?”
“····Yes, I understand.”
“under! You’re the smartest warlock I’ve ever met.”
“I am glad that you are. But why are you talking so kindly? Ah, this is not the case.”
“reason? what’s wrong? It’s a relationship that we worked together in a boring place, so let’s get along. How about a drink with other people today, would you like to have a drink together? These are all connections.”
“Can’t you drink alcohol?”
“Well, wouldn’t a drink be enough?”
With him, Scott gave strength to his hand. His big hands were good for him, but Oliver politely refused.
“sorry. I’m going to decline because I don’t know if there’s any unforeseen circumstances. Also, I’m not good at drinking.”
Guess the lie worked, the druid raised his hands and said.
“Then, what can I do? But you will regret it.”
“Why?”
“I was looking for a filthy delicious drink.”
As the druid said that, he grinned.
