Foul—-Woo good
A purple portal formed in the air, and Oliver entered it.
When I left the portal, it was the dormitory. It wasn’t near Oliver’s dormitory or in front of his house, but inside.
It was amazing. He gave me the address, but I’m going to build a portal inside.
I knew that the magic of the Spatial School was great, but I realized its usefulness anew.
Oliver turned to ask a question, but unfortunately the portal had already disappeared.
Well, I had no regrets at all.
He said that he would contact me after finishing the urgent work in about two to three weeks.
Oliver looked at the cuff-shaped signal he had received from Merlin.
“Well, I’m just thankful that you took care of Rothburn and the other kids.”
Suddenly, I remembered what had happened in the past few days.
Looking back, it seemed like a lot had happened.
After taking the escort of Lady Jane at Edith’s request, she rested in the name of rest after receiving a large sum of money. there was.
He even promised to learn magic by forming a contract priesthood relationship with Merlin, who he thought was an old man at a bookstore.
It felt like it was all a dream. But even so, he told me that the new clothes I received from Merlin were not a dream but a reality.
“after·······.”
Oliver looked around the room.
A space where you can lie down to sleep and eat only light meals.
Things were messy. As if someone broke in and searched.
It was unexpected, but on the other hand, it wasn’t too surprising.
I didn’t expect that there would be no thieves at all, even if there were some gangs around and there was some security.
Above all, nothing had disappeared.
After all, the only thing worth paying for was a small refrigerator.
After clearing the messy house, Oliver went out and went down to the basement entrance.
just- just- just-
First of all, you don’t need to worry too much.
Important and sensitive items such as a child, a processed corpse, a broken corpse doll, and medicine under a surgical tool were fed to Big Mouse, so there was nothing particularly important in the basement.
Still, the reason I went down was to understand the situation.
“this·····.”
I wondered if it was anyway. A corpse lay in front of the basement entrance.
Examining the wounds, it appears that Oliver had been killed by a defense device that he had installed just in case.
It was created by combining a circle of black magic and minions, and is designed to react and kill the object in front of you when you forcefully open a door or try to dispel defense black magic.
Apparently, the lying corpse had been attacked while trying to break in.
It looked like he had been dead for a few days when he saw the rotting smell.
Oliver watched him silently, then rummaged through his clothes to see if he could identify him.
After digging around a few times, I found something.
It was a hand-mirror-like object with magical powers, a wallet, and identification as Mattel’s apprentice researcher.
I thought it was probably from Mattel’s side.
Oliver thought silently as he looked at the dead body.
‘Will the matter with Mattel arise again?’
I wasn’t sure, but I decided that it wasn’t and shook my head.
Whatever it was, it was this one who tried to break in first.
“Ain Charlesson . . . . From Northland.”
Oliver followed the man’s ID card in his wallet and took it along with the bills.
Then he took out the Big Mouse from his waist and told him to take the body.
Although it was rotten, this was enough to be processed and used. The shelf life may be short, but it wasn’t a big deal because I would make a new invoice doll and replace it anyway.
Above all, he was an apprentice or whatever, he was a magician of the tower. Mixing it with the corpses of doctors and warlocks ordered from the black market seemed perfect.
It wasn’t a bad harvest.
“Rub, rumbling….”
A bag of gluttons, who had swallowed the corpse whole, looked at Oliver.
Apparently, according to the producer, the bigger you get, the worse your temper becomes, but that wasn’t the case at all.
Suddenly, I wondered what the reason was.
Could it be that the person who made it didn’t understand his skills properly?
It wouldn’t hurt to go back and ask them later.
Who else knows? Can we talk about this and learn how to make black magic items?
After sorting out his thoughts, Oliver folded the Big Mouse again and put it in the leather case on his waist, extracted his emotions, and put his emotions into the security black magic like a key to unlock the black magic lock.
The dark magic circle disappeared with the feeling that was conveyed in his hand, and Oliver went inside the door and looked at it.
For reference, even if you forcefully release the Black Magic Circle and harm the protruding minion, if you forcefully enter the basement, the minion with the Rasboom will pop out and explode inside, but this was also to prevent an accident.
All they had were cheap, unimportant things such as tables and furniture, but in case you didn’t know, I prepared something like this.
‘I’m sorry Mr. Murphy.’
Anyway, Oliver made sure that the basement was in good shape compared to the second-floor bedroom. There didn’t seem to be any problems.
“Well·····. I’ll have to change places though.”
After thinking for a while, Oliver mumbled.
That said, there were no major problems right now, but in the end it turned out that this was a very unsafe place.
With peace of mind, to increase the size and quality of the laboratory, we had to look for another location.
Oh, of course, that didn’t mean I was angry or disappointed. It was just an objective judgment.
And I didn’t even want to stop doing everything right away.
After going to the black market, taking over the ordered corpse, processing it, and making an auxiliary-invoice doll.
It was just a plan to put a hold on building a proper lab like a puppet.
I needed a safer place than this to fully settle down.
“Let’s not go in a hurry. slowly.”
Oliver murmured, looked into the basement, and then came out.
I reorganized my thoughts.
There were so many things, and unexpected things happened that needed to be organized.
“First of all, the old man will solve the problem with Mattel, so watch over, and Rothburn and the other kids will be in charge of the old man, so um…”
Looking back, there was nothing Oliver had to do.
Merlin said he would take care of most of Oliver’s work.
I didn’t know it because I was tired, but when I think about it, it seems that I received a lot more help than I expected.
In fact, it was an impossible post-processing with Oliver’s power.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t stand still.
It’s been two or three weeks since we’ll see Merlin again, so in the meantime Oliver has had to do what he can.
“priority·····. I’ll have to meet you first, Forrest.”
So Oliver decided the first thing he would do.
***
It was for multiple reasons that Oliver made it his first job to meet Forrest.
First of all, the first reason was that Oliver unilaterally cut off contact with Forrest.
Unintentionally, I’ve had several calls from Forrest since I went to Mattel to rescue Rothburn.
The problem was that I didn’t receive it at all and ignored it thanks to various things that happened.
In such a state, I haven’t been able to visit for several days. It seemed the order was to go and say hello.
The second reason was to work as a solver.
Although it was noisy, thanks to Merlin’s consideration, he recovered his condition and, above all, needed money.
It’s not urgent right now, but I feel like I’ve been off for too long. In addition to that, in order to obtain a better place for experiments, materials, and other things, we had to raise money from now on.
The third and final reason was to follow Merlin’s teachings.
When asked to teach me about the world, he advised me to see and learn for myself.
They say that the world you learn through someone’s mouth is not the real world, but a fabricated world.
Thinking about it, I didn’t think it was wrong.
The world he saw through someone’s eyes and experience had no choice but to go through processing.
That’s why Jane’s and Merlin’s descriptions of colonization are different.
The only way Oliver knew how to see the world was to work as a solver.
Oliver wanted to know more seriously. about this world.
Mattel knows all about how he can do such a thing, whether orphans are treated as experimental subjects, why there are so many orphans, why colonies are formed, what is Parteranism in detail, what is happening in this world and the root of its origins. wanted
As much as black magic, demons, and beautiful light.
It felt like there was no end to it, and the work to be done was constantly increasing, but to be honest, I didn’t really hate it.
There is so much to learn, so much to know. This was a great joy.
with daughter. with daughter.
When the Forest Restaurant opened as usual, a bell rang, announcing a guest’s arrival.
And with him Al, an employee, came out and greeted the guests.
“Come on-”
As soon as Al saw Oliver, he looked surprised.
It was especially difficult to see him because he was always restrained in his actions and expressions while working.
So Oliver said hello first this time.
“hello. Mr. Al.”
“Ah, hello. Dave Mr. It’s really nice. Please forgive my rudeness.”
Al came to his senses and said so. As soon as he saw Oliver, he expressed surprise and shock.
Ignoring the contact and not showing up for a few days was right, but I thought it was a bit excessive.
Al returned to his usual form and said. It was really professional.
“Mr. Dave. Did you come to see the boss?”
“Yes.”
“then. We will guide you. Follow me.”
“Can I not wait?”
“Yes, of course.”
With those words Al guided Oliver, and Oliver followed him.
Usually, to meet Forrest, it was either a narrow restaurant office or a broker’s office deep underground, but this time I was guided to the second office.
The little side door next to the grocery store.
“Can I go this way?”
“Yes that’s right.”
Al replied with a bow, and Oliver nodded, opened the door and went downstairs.
As he was about to close the door completely, Al said.
“Thank you so much for coming.”
Oliver nodded, not knowing English.
“Thank you for saying that.”
***
After a brief greeting with Al, Oliver began to descend.
It was really deep wherever I went.

No matter how I thought about it, it seemed to be connected to the underground city, another city under Landa that Cant spoke of.In an emergency, there is plenty of room to hide or run away and escape to another place.
It certainly seemed like a place where intermediaries were needed.
After thinking about this and that, Oliver reached the bottom of the basement floor.
Then, as usual, I started walking along a narrow corridor made of single roads.
Even after a long visit, nothing has changed.
smart-
Oliver reached the end of the hallway and knocked on the small door.
After a while a voice was heard.
“Come in.”
With a weak voice, Oliver politely opened the door and went inside.
A familiar office scene caught my eye, with a table and chairs on one side, a huge counter, and filing cabinets filled behind it.
If it was unfamiliar, it was Forest wrestling with several communication devices the size of a human head.
He had always appeared unobtrusive in a neat suit, but for just a few days, he had become exhausted.
His shirt was soaked in sweat and wrinkles, his hair, which was always greased with oil, was messed up, and faint but dark circles had settled under his eyes.
It was a look that had been in serious trouble for several days.
Oliver instinctively sensed that the suffering was his fault.

Not knowing what to say, Oliver said hello first.“uh······. hello?”
“no. Hello, I can’t.”
Forrest sighed in reply.
