247. Return to business (1)
“brother Brother. I have come.”
The restaurant is closed after business. A woman appeared there.
Appearing to be in her early twenties, she was a very beautiful woman, a bit of a cliché, but she looked like a sculpture.
His eyes, nose, mouth, and ears were flawless, his eyes gleaming like jewels, and his skin was smooth and pure white like porcelain without any blemishes.
It was as if only the most beautiful parts of a woman were gathered and knitted together.
“What’s going on here?”
At the appearance of a woman, the employees brought the owner of the restaurant.
He was the woman’s brother.
Although not as good as a woman, his handsome older brother had broad shoulders and a strong physique like a Gallos man.
It wasn’t that he was fat.
His flat stomach like a chopping board and the fine muscles on his rolled up forearms showed how thorough he was in self-management.
“I came here because I was curious about whether business was going well… Whats up?”
“It’s the same as usual.”
“It means it’s fine. After all, your food is delicious and good for your health.”
That was true. The food that the woman’s brother made was not only delicious but also good for health. It’s amazingly so.
Even the sickly person became healthy with just a few meals, the old man who had no energy to stand up jumped up, and the ladies who lost the blessing of youth were able to enjoy a second blessing.
That is why, despite the ridiculous prices and conditions, Gallos’ nobles, emerging capitalists, and even the royal family lined up with their money.
“How about you. college life?”
“Well, it’s fun. I have a lot to learn on my own, and it’s fun to play with the kids… It feels like 10 years younger.”
“I wouldn’t be able to have it for 10 years.”
At his brother’s rude remarks, the younger sister slapped his brother’s forearm.
“hurt.”
“I hit you because it hurts.”
The woman answered with a smile.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Noticing that the younger sister had something to talk about, the older brother snapped his fingers and ordered the employees and students who were cleaning up the store to step down for a while.The employees who were in the midst of cleaning up the store immediately followed the instructions.
It is so solemnly reminiscent of a slave who treats his master.
Thanks to you, the shop is quiet. The younger sister sat down at the empty table and opened her mouth.
“I always feel it, but my brothers and students are all well disciplined.”
“That’s how the store works. It is also our strength. Is there anything wrong with the ham I sent you?”
“ham? Ahh····. no. are you okay. It is more delicious than expected and has high nutritional value. look.”
The younger sister raised her hand and concentrated the high-density magic within it.
It was very clean, and its strength was difficult to gauge. It was one of the highest levels of magic that a man had seen for hundreds of years.
“Awesome.”
“right? However, the nutritional value is so high that it takes a while to digest, so you have to share it. Would you like to eat 1/3 now? …well, I’m getting used to it, so I think I’ll be able to eat it faster.”
“That’s good. So, can you tell me what you came here for?”
“Do you know that my brother only comes to me when I have work?”
“Isn’t it?”
slap-!
The younger sister slapped her brother on the forearm again.
“sick.”
“Because I hit you because it hurts… Well, what you said is not wrong. I’m here to discuss something.”
“Then why did you hit me? What do you want to discuss?”
“Well····. Do you remember Bathory?”
“I don’t remember.”
My brother paused for a moment, but he quickly controlled his emotions and answered. Don’t let your sister see through her feelings.
“It’s been quiet lately, but I remember it as one of the forces that oppose us. But why?”
“Hmmm…. I have an informant there.”
“In the Bathory family?”
“yes. No matter how small an elite you are, there is always one coward, right?”
“····therefore?”
“Something seems to be wrong with Bathory.”
My sister looked at her nails and said it was nothing.
But in reality it wasn’t at all.
Even though they looked after them, the Batori family was one of the forces fighting against them, and they belonged to a fairly strong family among the selected nations.
Including their own human flesh chef, the eternal puppet, the eternal child fan, and the piper, they were not as strong as the others, but in other words, among the rest of the four, they were not far behind.
There was a problem with such Bathory. It wasn’t normal.
Especially now, when the prophecy may have begun.
“Is there any evidence?”
“There is no visible evidence, but circumstantial evidence. I heard that Bathory took his slaves to Seland for personal business, but suddenly lost contact there.”
“Isn’t there a communication problem when you cross the sea?”
“brother.”
My sister’s eyes widened.
“Come on? Do you know how Genes communicate with each other? Do you think there’s a problem across the ocean or on the other side of the world? if not·····. What regrets do you still have with that bitch?”
Her sister’s emotions fluctuated violently, and her body spit out magical energy that had been stored up for hundreds of years.
The magical power that intuitively responds to emotions took over the space in an instant, crushing tables, tables, and ornaments.
Goo! simplicity and honesty! Woo Jijik!! Twisted…!
If you wanted to, even this space could be crushed like a can.
“no. Not at all. I was just asking for confirmation. Because it’s unusual.”
The older brother bent his knees and said while looking at his younger sister.
His eyes looking at his younger sister were so clear that he didn’t think they were man-eating ears.
“ah····. I see? I’m sorry again.”
A younger sister who smiled as if she was angry. The magical power that had taken over the space with him was released in an instant.
“…Anyway, the contact was suddenly cut off. Some of the kids thought it was strange, so they went to Seland to find out, and they heard funny rumors spread.”
“A funny rumor?”
“yes. It was said that Bathory was attacked by some solver and the staff of the Magic Tower.”
“················ogue.”
“Isn’t that interesting?”
My sister laughed and said.

“Have you been?”
Oliver returned to the horse tower via the portal from the Outpost branch.
Kevin welcomed Oliver like that.
“professor?”
“You look like you’ve seen it even if you can’t see it.”
“Oh, I’m sorry…. But, I didn’t know that you would be able to meet me like this.”
“Do I look that unkind?”
“No, I just didn’t expect you to be this kind.”
“·················ogue.”
At Oliver’s candid answer, Kevin frowned and looked at Oliver without saying a word.
“What·····. It’s not exactly wrong. Because I had no intention of coming out to meet you.”
It was sincere, and it wasn’t really a bad idea.
Professor Mattap had a lot of work to do for his position, so he didn’t have time to meet the staff who had been on a business trip instead of him.
In the tower, this is common sense.
Especially, if you are a serious person like Kevin.
In other words, the fact that Kevin came out here has a good reason.
“Maybe, what’s going on?”
“Would you be lying if I said no? For now, follow me.”
Kevin gave the order, and Oliver followed immediately. First of all, Kevin was Oliver’s employer in the tower.
“Wait.”
As Kevin was about to take Oliver out of the central ellipse, he ran into two men.
Judging from the ‘Asclepius Staff’ pattern engraved on his chest, he seemed to belong to the School of Life, and when looking at the amount of magic inherent in his body, he seemed to be at least an official wizard.
“this·····. Professor Kevin.”
One of the men said, trying to be polite. He hid it in his own way, but revealed his uncomfortable feelings toward Kevin.
However, this uncomfortable feeling was not like that because Kevin was a red man, but it was similar to that of meeting an obstacle when he was doing an important job.
“Is there anything I can do?”
The two wizards from the School of Life looked at each other and opened their mouths frankly.
“Yes, Professor. To be precise, the professor’s staff has something to look at.”
Oliver tilted his head when he said he had business to do, but Kevin didn’t. Rather, it was as calm as expected.
“What’s the matter?”
“I, that…. If you allow me, could you lend me your staff for a while?”
Kevin was silent at the sudden request, and the two men from the School of Life opened their mouths as if in a difficult way.
“It was ordered by the superior… If you help me, I will never forget your grace.”
“great.”
“Is it real?”
“Yes, as long as there is a procedure and consent according to the rules of the tower, we can hire an employee.”
It wasn’t wrong.
What is the professor’s personal staff? This is a truly unique position, and the roles and tendencies of each professor differed greatly.
Their roles varied from simple salary thieves to errands and research assistants.
Orientation could also become a servant exclusively for professors, or it could become a public-slave for public goods.
So Oliver wasn’t too surprised by the sudden request to borrow him.
“But right now, I have business to do, so please send a request for cooperation in accordance with the procedure later. That’s the order to ask for help from the staff of another school. Excuse me.”
Kevin tried to move forward again. The Life School wizard stood in front of him in amazement.
“·····what?”
“sorry. professor. However, our Master-”
“-You seem to have forgotten that the person in front of you right now is also a Master.”
Kevin spoke in his characteristic hard tone, and, like most people, he shut his mouth at the pressure.
“Even I am not of the same school as you. But how am I supposed to accept the rudeness of making such a demanding request?”
“Sorry, sorry.”
“I accept the apology. I know the situation is urgent. But, in the future, let’s distinguish between the ball and the living. and·····.”
“········.”
“I won’t do anything to take my staff arbitrarily from now on. If you need help, formally request cooperation in accordance with the school rules. Whatever you do, forgive your mistakes and even give advice, so you have to answer.”
“·····thank you.”
“Okay, get out of the way now.”
At Kevin’s words, two wizards from the School of Life split left and right to pave a path, and Kevin passed in front of them proudly. Oliver also greeted the two wizards and followed them.
After passing them for a while, Oliver asked Kevin.
“By any chance, what happened to the tower?”
“There was.”
“Five····. What happened?”
“I have to talk to you about that now.”
***
After leaving the central tower, which manages the entire administration of the tower, the coordination of relations between each school, and the diplomacy of the entire school, Oliver moved to the elemental school tower with Kevin.
As he went, Oliver could feel a sense of déjà vu.
It’s the feeling of dread that people cherished when they just returned from vacation and returned to work.
Oliver looked around and saw the student smirking at him, then asked Kevin.
“Is this interest likely to subside in a week?”
“Well·····. Do you think it will take longer than a week?”
“Yes?”
“For now, let’s go and talk.”
Oliver shut his mouth as instructed, and followed Kevin into Kevin’s professor’s lab at the far corner of the Elementalist Tower.
As soon as he entered, Kevin snapped his fingers and spread the soundproofing magic throughout the room, then opened his mouth.
“Okay, then tell me what happened. A fictional version and a non-fiction version to report to the tower.”
As if he knew everything, Kevin went on to the point.
Oliver asked.
“Which should I tell you first, fiction or non-fiction?”
