“Tada-dah-! Follow-! Tadaak-!”
“Kyaryyaryyaryak!!”
Carlin and the mortuary doll-rags 2 collided in the air and got tangled with each other.
Just before getting tangled, five of the arms of one of the Rags 2 were broken at once in the arm that Carlin swung, but Paul, who entered Rags 2, did not care and grabbed Carlin with the other seven arms.
Head, face, neck, shoulders, forearms, waist, legs, etc. All parts that can be grasped.
Then, in that state, he applied strength to his forearm to expose the awl and razor built into it as it is.
“Kyahahaha-!!!”
The awl and razor embedded in his arms were not fatal, but they inflicted malicious pain, and Carlin tried to get away from Rags 2, receiving the malice all over his body.
But the more Carlin struggled, the more Pauls bit him and stretched out, and in the process, Carlin’s wounds became more and more messy.
Head, face, neck, shoulders, forearms, waist, and legs.
Carlin’s body was stained with red blood. He raised one leg and pushed it with all his might against Rag 2’s chest.
But this was the wrong choice.
As soon as Carlin took an unsteady position, Falls activated the weapon newly mounted on his torso. It was four single-shot guns.
Taang-! Taang-! Taang-! Taang-!
The single shot was fired directly without reloading, leaving fatal wounds to Carlin’s weakened legs, chest and abdomen.
Instead of only using it once, I chose a powerful one, and it seemed like a pretty good choice.
The proof of that is Carlin’s dead body.
“Well······. Are you okay?”
Oliver looked down at Carlin’s body and said.
Invoice Doll-Rags 2 has a slightly unique appearance compared to other Invoice Dolls, which caused more fear in the opponent, but ironically, it was an invoice doll using the most common materials.
Invoice Doll – A part easily recognizable compared to Warlock, Bathory, and Duncan.
Therefore, it may be overwhelming against normal gangs, but it was somewhat difficult against superhumans.
However, this made it clear.
If you throw a miniaturized mortuary doll at an suddenly approaching enemy, unwind the miniaturization magic, and apply a surprise attack, you can get a pretty good effect.
‘Depending on the quality of the invoice doll, it can turn the situation upside down at once….’
Oliver satisfactorily recalled the previous fight and looked for improvements.
Assuming that there are several opponents, or that he has good reflexes to respond to attacks.
“But I think I forgot something…”
Oliver looked around and muttered, then looked at his feet, and realized what it was.
It was Albert who was swallowed by an amorphous corpse golem.
***
“Wow! Wow! Whoa!”
Albert continued to vomit long after he came out of the corpse golem.
It was a brief moment, but being in the pile of corpses was no hard work.
It was originally intended to move Albert safely to the management office where the World Tree is located, but it seemed like an unintentional mistake.
Oliver apologized again.
“I’m really sorry.”
“Oh, no. It’s okay, it’s okay…”
Albert wasn’t okay at all, but he tried to lie.
When he first appeared in Corpse Golem, he couldn’t control his anger and vomited and cursed, but when he saw a druid corpse with a broken head, a pierced chest, and a mop all over his body, he quickly quenched his anger… ·. He was truly a broad-minded person.
He continued to walk, supported by Oliver, who staggered until he reached the World Tree Management Office in the center of McCluskey Security Company.
“Well······. What is the original World Tree Management Office like?”
Oliver asked, examining the huge circular space with the World Tree in the center.
It was empty, but something was strange.
There were traces of machines installed on the walls as if they had withdrawn from doing something that was not empty from the beginning.
‘But there are a lot of traces. very······.’
A trail that fills the huge circular space.
Albert sighed and opened his mouth.
“Uh-huh… It’s definitely a bit weird.”
“Yes?”
“Druids, unlike wizards, don’t use machines.”
Oliver, who doesn’t know much about druids, asks why he doesn’t use machines. Albert kindly explained.
“There is a difference in the way the world tree is handled. Wizards use the World Tree for a while by paying magical power, so they also use machines for efficiency, but they are not Druids. They communicate directly with the World Tree. I hate to admit it, but it’s way superior to wizards. So for them, the machine is rather cumbersome. Aside from the pride and ideology of a druid. In that sense, this place is definitely strange.”
After hearing the explanation, Oliver nodded in agreement.
Since it was operated in a druid way, traces of machinery were seen here and there, and because it broke away from the traditional method, there was no now.
It looked more like he had left his seat from an experiment.
“I don’t know what it is, but first, I think we will find out after investigating.”
Albert of the Moirai school pulled out a wooden stake from his bosom.
It was a stake thick enough to hold with one hand, and knots were bulging here and there.
It seems to be a device that transfers hacked information.
“From now on, we will access the World Tree and transfer inside information to these stakes. In the meantime, I will be defenseless, so please take good care of me.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Oliver responded, spraying the magical energy stored in his body in all directions to monitor the surroundings, while Albert put his magic power in a stake he took out from his bosom, and then threw it into the World Tree.
Pak!
The tip of the stake, which was concentrated with magical power, was immersed in the world tree that looked solid at once, and Albert connected the stake to the world tree as a medium.
Oliver paid attention to his eyes and watched him.
Because I had never seen anyone use the World Tree up close in this way.
“Are you here?”
Oliver observed Albert interacting with the World Tree using a stake, and caught Arthur’s party as they reached the front of the control room entrance.
They were much messier than before.
“…it looks like you’re all right.”
Arthur checked Oliver’s condition and said at once. Probably because Oliver was in good shape, and his clothes weren’t too dirty. At most, only a few wrinkles were wrinkled.
“Yes.”
“Then I’m glad… Have you ever met any druids?”
“I met you. Mr. Jeffrey, Mr. Catal, Mr. Finlay, Mr. Carlin. four minutes like this How did you know?”
“The druid out there told me about it……. Where are they?”
“One exploded and shattered, the other three are here.”
Oliver pointed to the big mouse on his waist.
Although the damage was a bit severe, I took care of it first.
Unlike Oliver, who answered calmly. Arthur made a subtle expression.
What would you say? I expected it, but would I say that I was surprised when I actually woke up?
Even with all the skills and equipment, it was quite difficult to subdue a druid in the forest, but the 20-year-old warlock in front of him was able to subdue four by himself.
I couldn’t help but be amazed.
After reading Arthur’s feelings, Oliver opened his mouth to clear up the misunderstanding.
“I was just lucky.”
“If you call it luck to defeat four druids in the forest without getting hurt, luck itself is skill.”
“Ah, that’s amazing. Forrest also told a similar story… But you’re lucky. There were a lot of corpses inside the building, which was to my advantage. If there were no bodies and we had fought in the open area near the trees, it would have been difficult for me to be safe.”
Oliver spoke his honest opinion, not humility.
In fact, there were some disadvantages to the Druid because it was inside the building.
I couldn’t use dirt or wood.
Of course, even considering that, it was undeniable that Oliver’s performance was great. The party didn’t really care.
But, ironically, that made a deeper impression on Arthur.
For example, even if this mission ends well and he leads the security bureau, he has to maintain a good relationship with Oliver…
“······Luck or whatever, thank you. If Albert had been injured, the whole thing would have been greatly distorted.”
“It’s my job.”
“Everyone watch and learn. Because humility is a virtue that is extinct these days… It’s a pity that I can’t pay the success fee because I don’t have the money.”
Arthur joked in his characteristic, lively tone.
But it was also sincere. I was really sorry that I couldn’t give Oliver the success pay.
Oliver, who read the feeling, suggested.
“Then, can I ask for something other than money? Success pay?”
Arthur was a little surprised that it was an unexpected suggestion, but he wasn’t offended by it. On the contrary, it was even welcomed.
“It’s something other than money. I’m not asking for anything unreasonable, what is it? Try to give as much as you can.”
Oliver fingers Albert. To be precise, he pointed to the stake that Albert put in the World Tree.
“Can I get the information Mr. Albert obtained? Nothing left.”
Oliver asked, looking at the traces of the wall where there were many machines. I was just wondering what the hell was going on here.
***
six o’clock in the morning.
Time for everyone to go to bed, except for the factory workers and general store owners.
A man got up from bed and took a shower.
Shoot ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
His name was none other than Sheamus, who was too diligent for renting an entire hotel, one of the most expensive in Landa.
A pleasure druid, Randa’s top ex-solver, and a great businessman who built a miracle investment company called ABC.
Contrary to his usual glamorous and debauched appearance, his morning started earlier than anyone else.
After showering, he wiped his muscular body hard and tough like a tree with a towel, then applied lotion for skin care to his face and body.
Finishing off, I put on a gorgeous green suit and went out of the suite.
“Are you awake?”
Sheamus’ subordinate Dugan greeted Sheamus.
what I’ve been waiting for before. Sheamus walked down the hallway with him and started talking about work.
“Yeah, who hit our business?”
“This is the city’s special security bureau.”
“If my memory is correct, I know that they took my money and ate it, but are you behind on justice?”
The Security Agency was created after many controversies. Although it was still unclear what the organization did specifically, Seamus paid a high price for it in case of an emergency.
But it was stolen.
“you’re right······. However, there are those who did not receive it.”
“The one who didn’t receive it hit me. Who is it?”
“This is Arthur. As one of the security bureau chiefs, it is said that he acted alone before even being blocked by a superior.”
“The excuses for the incompetent are so obvious……. What is your purpose?”
“Appearingly to combat illegal businesses running through the McCluskey Security Company, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.”
“Is it ABC?”
Pretend if you pretend. Seamus figured out the situation right away.
It was not enough to succeed as a solver in this city, so it could be said that it was the judgment of a person who safely retired and lived with a fuss as a businessman.
“Yeah, we haven’t found any evidence yet, but we’ve confirmed that we’ve had a few meetings with Interior Ministry officials who don’t like us. There’s that guy named Arthur-“
“Okay, stop. You are aiming for ABC.”
Seamus came to the conclusion right away. There was only one correct answer, saying that while ABC was in the midst of raising its stock price, there was a problem at a business that had not had any problems.
“What about the kids?”
“It seems like everything has been done.”
The kids Seamus spoke of were none other than Jeffreys and Catal. He was a druid under his command. the real men.
Sheamus bit his teeth in anger and irritation, then opened his mouth again.
“It’s amazing… I’m sure there will be some guys out there who will deal with our kids at the Sheriff’s Department, which focuses on average combat and organization. Have you ever invaded on a large scale?”
“no. It is said that only the team leader and a small number of subordinates moved.”
“Then, is it strange?”
“We hired a fixer. Dave.”
Sheamus paused for a moment.
“······There’s nothing strange about that guy, isn’t it? Are you against me?”
“And the Moirai School is also cooperating. Traces of hacking the World Tree have been found. Would it be okay?”
“it’s okay. Even though I own stock there, I haven’t been involved in the management, so it doesn’t matter to me. Other companies have only borrowed money and invested, but it has nothing to do with me. Ignore it.”
“No, I’m talking about the traces of Eve.”
Dugan looked around and spoke again.
“·············· Erase all important information, but as you know, it is impossible to completely delete from the World Tree. Also, I left the information on Eve’s discovery without deleting it, so wouldn’t it be a problem?”
“Well······. done. don’t mind. It’s already happened, and there’s nothing you can do about it. As druids, we didn’t get anything like that, so what do fakes know?”
Sheamus said lightly, but it was an accurate decision. For him, who is already working on a big business and a project at the same time, this is not something he should be concerned about.
I didn’t even think that Moira would save anything.
“First of all, let’s focus on the urgent now. Whether you hit ABC, or the McCluskey Security Company, you’ll take all the black businesses you manage there. Tell the bosses to shut up and go in quietly as per the contract. If you don’t understand what you’re saying, show me your money and family address.”
“Yes, I understand. It is not difficult.”
“great······. How about Eve? What is the rate of return?”
“It is as it is. Eve itself is growing, and it’s getting harder to control, so it’s not being used properly.”
Dugan looked embarrassed, but Sheamus didn’t care.
Isn’t there a saying that those who wear the crown must bear the weight? it was the same
“it’s okay. I do not care. I didn’t think to use it right away. I’m telling you to keep a close eye on me… It was truly a miraculous discovery, and you must not miss it.”
“Don’t worry, we know.”
“great······. Then, put Craig in touch.”
“Craig? Why all of a sudden?”
“I need more bait.”
“Bait? Haven’t we already reached our goal?”
The target, Dugan said, was the amount of money invested in ABC.
Surprisingly, the current investment in ABC has exceeded 1 trillion won, and it was looking at the 2 trillion won.
An astronomical number that cannot be felt.
However, Seamus did not seem to be satisfied with this.
“That’s right, I achieved my goal. Every day, thousands of people bring money to me and give it to me. To be honest, blowing up a few companies isn’t a big deal anymore. Even if you take the investment that flows into ABC and share the profits, you can run ABC for a while longer.”
“Then why are you calling Craig? I don’t know if I should share the profits.”
“When you can earn, you have to earn quickly. I don’t want to finish with just two chapters in the richest city in the world. Three or four times more. To do that, you need that much bait… So call Craig. “Let’s rob the richest city in the world together.”
