250. Solver Dave (1)
“Do you know about eschatology?”
Oliver asked what he was most curious about.
He had returned to the tower to ask this question in the first place.
However, Oliver witnessed something strange.
Merlin’s eyes, who had never lost their composure under any circumstances, trembled for a moment.
Even when disguised as an old man at the bookstore, or when he faced Mattel researchers, his eyes did not lose his composure.
He may have mistaken it for a moment that was too short, but Oliver had a gut feeling that he was seeing it right, not wrong.
Merlin quickly regained his composure and opened his mouth.
It was so natural that I forgot that my eyes fluttered before.
“Tick tock tock eschatology . . . . Are you talking about the eschatology of judgment?”
Recalling Ewan Bremner’s story, Oliver nodded.
He said the clock was moving because the world was full of evil and God’s patience had reached its limit and put an end to them all. So the judge could be right.
“Is the official name the eschatology of judgment?”
Merlin shook his head.
“There is no such thing as an official name. No, it may exist, but at least I don’t know.”
Oliver was surprised and focused his attention on his eyes. Merlin’s emotions were blocked by a wall surrounded by magical powers, making it difficult to tell whether they were real or false.
“How are you so surprised? Is it strange that I don’t know exactly?”
Oliver almost spoke out about the archives he had heard from Lee Wan.
A great wizard who has inherited knowledge and power for over a thousand years. It’s about beings who have inherited countless knowledge over a long period of time.
But Oliver didn’t utter the words that were on his tongue.
Speaking of that, I didn’t know if I should even talk about Lee Wan… Then, the story seemed too complicated.
“Dave?”
“Ah, sorry. old man. To be honest, it’s a bit weird. I thought the old man knew somehow.”
“What do you think?”
“Because the old man is strong, he has a high position in the tower, and he must have studied a lot. So I thought you knew everything.”
“I once knew I was like that. But as I get older and know more, all I realize is my folly and incompetence. Sorry for disappointing you.”
Some kind of emotional answer.
Oliver was intrigued by Merlin’s response, apart from not getting an answer.
“I can only tell you what I know. Can you hear me?”
“If you tell me, I’d be happy.”
“Well·······. First of all, the eschatology of judgment you asked is a very old story. I don’t know exactly where its roots are. It’s hundreds of years old, but it could be more than that. Time is just a metaphor.”
“You know quite a bit.”
“Because it’s been a story since the first archive…. It can be said to be a kind of myth, old story, ghost story, or fairy tale. That’s why they’re adapted from pseudo-religion, apocalyptic, etc. here and there. So the deterioration is so bad that the original is unrecognizable.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah, even some warlocks and a partisan sect of Parterism use this story.”
“that·······. It’s amazing.”
Oliver said his candid thoughts.
It was quite interesting that the two, who could be called opposites, shared the same story.
“Originally, cheap people steal old authority and try to wear them out of proportion.”
Merlin’s words with a laugh.
There seemed to be a hidden meaning, but he couldn’t see the details of Merlin’s feelings.
“If you don’t mind, can you tell me how to use it in Warlocks and Parters?”
Merlin looked at Oliver. I wanted to ask him why he was asking, but contrary to his expectations, he readily answered.
“Among the warlocks, when the world is full of evil, the devil’s prince opens the gates of hell and punishes the hypocrites on earth, opening a new era.”
A puppet passed over Oliver’s head.
“How about in Parteranism?”
“The moment the gates of Hell are opened, the Son of the Most Holy Angel claims to sacrifice himself to save men from evil.”
I used to feel weird before, but now it’s even more weird.
The fact that the Warlock and the Parters, who can be called opposite beings, are not even writing the same story, they fit so well together.
It was as if a piece had been split in two.
As if someone artificially framed it.
When Oliver shared these thoughts, Merlin only laughed.
“Originally, the world itself is strange. So it’s more fun.”
“That’s what I thought too……. So, do you know the original source of that eschatology?”
Merlin shook his head.
Oliver didn’t regret it too much.
I don’t know the real name of the eschatology, so the possibility of having the original was almost non-existent.
However, I could hear other interesting stories.
“But, are you interested in documenting a few other tales derived from that eschatology?”
“Oh, of course I am interested. But how?”
“There were some people who were interested in such stories in the previous archives. So I inherited it. Find it if you want. It will take some time though.
“If yes, I would really appreciate it.”
“Instead, there are conditions.”
As if Merlin had been waiting, he offered the condition. Oliver asked what it was.
“If you have a story you know about this, could you share it with me? It’s also my job to succeed the research of the previous archives.”
“Yes, I think it will be fine. I think I’m going to ask the old man for help.”
As soon as Oliver agreed, Merlin held out his little finger.
“Then, make an official promise. Put your little finger on it.”
***
Oliver made a promise with Merlin with a pinky bet.
It was in his own interest, too, and there was no reason to refuse.
As soon as Merlin made an appointment, he said he would look for it slowly, but disappeared as quickly as he had come.
A truly unpredictable person. it wasn’t bad
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not long after Merlin disappeared, Kevin came from class.As soon as Kevin arrived, he read the report written by Oliver, and was satisfied that there was no problem like Merlin. After listening to Oliver’s story, he prepared for any questions or interrogations from Mato Tower or other schools.
I also thought that doing this to someone who had worked and went to work was a bit too much, but since Oliver’s identity is his identity, I decided to just work hard.
Until it’s time to leave work.
Although it was hard work, Oliver not only got the matter out of the way quickly, but also took a short vacation.
‘Yeah, if you’ve done such a big job, it wouldn’t be strange to take a vacation for the sake of recovery. Rather, it is noticeable that he comes back normally. take a few days off I’ll try to sort this out in the meantime.’
Kevin’s words were sincere, and Oliver gladly followed the offer.
I also asked Merlin the question I wanted to ask, because I haven’t been to the tower for a while, and Oliver has work to do.
So Oliver handed over the evidence (storage device) he had obtained from the Chimera School to Kevin, and after taking a formal vacation, he returned home, rested for a day, recovered his stamina, and finished the work that had been delayed.
For example, handling materials (corpses).
“······Whew, it is hard.”
Landa upper-middle class residence. Among them, a house in the L area which is quite good.
There, in the basement, Oliver wiped the sweat from his brow and cried out in pain.
Twenty or so corpses that have been collected and not processed during this time, eight corpses of a female warlock that have recently been obtained, and the corpse of Bathory. In a way, it was natural to process over 30 corpses at once.
It was pretty hard. It wasn’t too bad, though.
Because I was getting help from Child.
“Are you all right?”
“Heh heh heh… it’s tough!”
“Push-! Pushu-!”
‘Invoice Doll – Helper 1’ and ‘Assistant 2 Parker’, who were in charge of tasks requiring expertise, such as soaking and removing the body 3 times in antiseptic solution, cutting the flesh and applying a coating solution to the bones, answered respectively.
Then, ‘rags’, who hung the processed corpse on hooks and organized it along the rails installed on the ceiling, and ‘Dunkan’, who painted the cleaned corpse and created material items, also answered.
“Tada-dah-! Tadaak-!”
“················ogue.”
These two were specialized in combat, but due to the lack of hands, I entrusted them with simple tasks, such as moving objects and stamping materials.
Fortunately, it worked better than expected.
Thanks to this, my first double-digit body processing was completed faster than I expected.
I realized anew why people were asked to secure manpower when making an invoice doll. Being and not being was the difference between heaven and earth.
“Everyone worked hard. Thanks, it’s over quickly. thank you.”
“Heh heh heh… finished!!”
“Push-! Pussuk-! Pushu-!”
“Tadak-! Follow-! Tadaak!!”
“················ogue.”
The children also answered whether they were happy that the work was over.
Oliver immediately agreed to give the promised reward.
Mixing together a large amount of emotions and vitality contained in the Giant Flask and giving it to the Child.
The only thing Child was happy about was eating.
‘At least not yet…’
Oliver naturally mixed emotions and vitality as if breathing, and Child opened his mouth to see if he was hungry, and quickly sucked the mixture of emotions and vitality.
Shuhuahahahaa have to have
Shuhuahahahaa have to have
Shuhuahahahaa have to have
Shuhuahahahaa have to have
A mixture of emotions and vitality that rapidly diminishes.
Oliver looked at the finished materials in the meantime.
All were in good condition, and the stamps were properly stamped.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Normal corpses without special skills or characteristics are painted C,A corpse with ordinary specialties or characteristics has a B stamp,
A corpse with considerable specialties or characteristics is like this with A stamp.
Currently, most of Oliver’s corpses were C, but fortunately, thanks to his trip to the tower, he was able to secure many good corpses.
This was the case with the female warlocks with A-class corpses and S-class corpses, Bathory.
Oliver paid particular attention to the female warlock and the corpses of Bathory.
All of the female warlocks had no upper part of their neck because Oliver had their head popped off during the process of subdue, and Bathory’s body had limbs and hair cut off.
Perhaps, it was difficult to avoid functional deterioration. It was the condition of the corpse and the degree of damage that determined the quality of the corpse doll.
‘It’s a pity…’
Oliver thought as he looked at the corpse of the female warlock and Bathory.
However, at the same time, Oliver thought about how to make the most of the function and use it effectively.
Although it was in bad condition, it was unusual to obtain a material of this size, so it was necessary to find a way as much as possible.
‘Especially, we should study how to move all at once… No matter how many invoice dolls there are, it is meaningless if the amount that can be handled at one time is limited.’
Oliver wanted to add more children, but he stopped thinking about it.
Considering the child’s maintenance cost, it wasn’t a good option to increase arbitrarily. It was also difficult to manage. It was just right now.
Oliver’s gaze then fixed on Bathory’s corpse.
The four limbs and the headless body hung on hooks, and the bodyless limbs and the head hanging beside them.
‘After all, should I write Bathory-sama? He seems to have a deep knowledge in the operation series as well. If I do well, I might be able to become a puppet who controls the puppet….’
Oliver thought as he recalled the bouncer zombie and her daughters he saw at the Chimera Lab.
‘Well, even if that doesn’t work, it’s not a big deal.’
Oliver pulled a red notebook from his pocket.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No matter how much I thought of the notebook captured from Bathory, it seemed to be a customer list.Customers of the elixir of blood made based on blood magic.
‘If what the old man said is true, he is probably right…’. But why is he carrying it? Isn’t that important?’
After thinking for a moment, Oliver immediately shook his head.
The important thing was that he had Bathory’s corpse and customer list where he could make the blood magic potion.
Oliver decided to turn away from the little facts and focus only on his own purpose.
Oliver put the notebook back into his pocket and grabbed the leather case with the gluttonous pouch.
Then I looked back at the children who had finished their meal.
“Are you ready to go out soon?”
