Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 135



Investigation (2)

“If you were thinking of me in that sense I think you were completely mistaken.”

Lennok answered with a frown.

“I haven’t had many incidents like this in my entire career. “I don’t move much unless it’s a request to begin with.”

In the first place he doesn’t have the personality to be caught up in something like this.

In any case what happened this time was just a coincidence that happened at the auction house.

It was no coincidence that I chose a freelance job that makes money in the form of a request that I can rush into after thoroughly reviewing the risks in advance.

Even though the process during Dike and Agent was quite close in the end the key was to plan the operation in advance and proceed with it.

Solving unexpected incidents like this wasn’t Lennok’s cup of tea.

But Sebastian shook his head as soon as he heard Lennok’s answer.

“It’s the opposite. “You will face more of these things.”

“what?”

“Didn’t you jump into this game for your own reasons? You probably want something but it’s very unlikely that you want it for yourself. Rather we will face countless competitors like now.”

“……..”

“Freelancers who don’t know anything just pick the requests they want and work as workers. “But you’re not just a freelancer anymore are you?”

Sebastian laughed mischievously.

“You start working for the things you want not for the money. “You are now a client as well as a freelancer.”

His tone was very light as if he was telling people to just listen but it was difficult for Lennok to deny what he said.

If you think about it isn’t this situation clearly in the shape of Lennok leaving the job to Sebastian?

It was natural to borrow the broker’s skills while working with Jenny so I had forgotten about it but from Sebastian’s point of view it was not strange if he perceived it completely differently.

“…That’s not wrong.”

“You seem to have complicated thoughts. Shall we continue talking about work?”

Sebastian glances at Lennok’s expression and turns his back like a ghost.

Jenny was like that too but the brokers were really like ghosts.

“Anyway let’s talk a little more about Vincent Mayblack. The trading business he runs is not a healthy business located in a sunny area. In fact it is said that there is almost no awareness among citizens and the atmosphere between departments in the company is very different. “It’s not uncommon for people to work like this in this city.”

As he said that he poured some new wine into a glass and shook it leisurely.

His eyes did not miss the wine moving through the glass but his eyes were shining sharply.

It was proof that he still did not lose track of his thoughts.

“You are trying to maximize your business profits by going back and forth between the shade and the sun. “They probably divided the work into each department thoroughly and made it so that each department didn’t know what they were doing.”

“Is the trading business such a shameful business?”

“of course. There is no end if you dig into it. Passing through customs collaborating with organizations that collect taxes and inspection fees on distributed goods and beating up thieves who covet treasures… If you maintain a collusive relationship with the underworld there are more than a few things that will run smoothly. .”

Especially on this floor where superhumans run wild. Sebastian laughed as he said that.

As expected I thought about it the first time I thought of the auction house but Sebastian is one step ahead of Jenny in this matter.

Basically the amount of contacts and information I had was overwhelming probably thanks to my experience working with rich people and businessmen who had accumulated a certain amount of wealth.

Unlike Jenny who has many acquaintances in an unimaginable variety of fields this broker only works with customers in one field.

But because of that there were things he could do more easily.

The keyword is the old gentleman who was the last person to win an artifact at the Teina auction house.

It was surprising even to Lennok that he was able to sort out a person’s identity in an instant with just that one thing.

“Well this information is only a small portion compared to the research data. “I will organize it in an easy-to-read format and hand it over within three days.”

“Thank you. “How much should I pay?”

Last time in return for borrowing his power I acted as Sebastian’s intermediary to successfully complete a request but that was only when I had time to spare.

Right now Lennok thought it was urgent to get information from Sebastian and find out Irina Fesfield’s whereabouts.

There is nothing I can do if I make a deal through a regular request but I would like to be able to compete with as much money as possible…

While I was thinking that Sebastian who had put down the file skillfully rubbed his hands together and opened his mouth.

“Speaking of that there is one thing I want to say.”

“what?”

“This incident. “Can I join in too?”

“…I don’t know what that means. “Haven’t you already agreed to some extent by gathering information about Vincent Mayblack?”

“That’s not what I meant. The Arashak Ruins Exploration Team has excavated many ruins and released the artifacts contained within them to the world but it is also famous for not revealing the entire truth contained within the ruins. “I also want to help uncover the truth.”

In short doesn’t he mean that he wants to get a share of the investigation team’s robbery?

Lennok thought about the possibility and reality for a moment but then shook his head.

“If the exploration team had stored up that many relics and artifacts there was no way they wouldn’t have used them when fighting me. “I think the rumor is more distorted than I thought.”

At that time the number of exploration members killed by Lennok would have been approximately ten.

Among so many members how likely is it that they kept the existence of the relics hidden until just before their deaths?

Otherwise it would mean that Irina was holding all those relics alone but that was also unrealistic.

“…Um thank you for your honest answer. But even if that’s not the case there is meaning in dipping your toes into this work. Irina Fesfield’s relic ‘Archangel’s Compassion’… If you can introduce me to my customers to dispose of that stolen item it will be of great help to this business.”

Sebastian said that if it became known that he was a broker who could handle such famous relics his reputation would also rise and he even filled the glass in front of Lennok with wine.

Bright red wine gushes out like a fountain from a wine bottle floating by telekinesis and flows smoothly into the glass.

“It’s okay if I’m not necessarily the main person. “It’s okay if Jenny leads the work and I just show up next to her.”

“Are there that many people who want that relic?”

From Jenny’s words it sounded like it had relatively low value compared to other powerful artifacts but listening to what Sebastian said it seemed like it was worth participating in this work just for the wand alone.

“The abilities of Archangel’s Compassion are definitely undervalued because they are far from combat but even so the abilities contained in such top-class artifacts are different from magic.”

“In what part?”

“Hmm… It’s hard to explain because I’m not a magician but a psychic but there are quite a few abilities that work in a completely different way from the principles of modern and contemporary magic that are based on magical power.”

Sebastian sat down and adjusted his posture as if he thought it would be okay to explain this part a little more.

“If I were to give you a somewhat understandable example there would be an artifact like ‘Clarice’s Room’ owned by Captain Kaeda of the Agares Flyer. “It’s like a sacred item from a shaman who is famous for converting the user’s magical power into exactly twice the amount of main power and returning it to them.”

“……”

“Do you understand? It is impossible to understand how to change a specific power source into something completely different but it is even possible to convert the amount of energy by more than double it. “This is something that transcends the principles of understanding magic.”

“You’re saying you’re expecting something similar from the archangel’s compassion.”

“That’s not what I was expecting. The Archangel’s Compassion is on a higher level than Clarisse’s reckless relic. A complex system of abilities combining five or more attributes and a wide range of powerful auxiliary techniques. “It’s like an unscratched lottery ticket that is sure to have abilities that haven’t been revealed yet.”

“Uhm…”

Sebastian was talking as if Lennok would get his hands on the relic at any moment but Lennok was not mistaken.

What he must do now is to quickly annihilate the remaining exploration team so that no one is left behind.

It would be nice if Irina Fesfield’s artifacts could be recovered in the process but that was only a matter of achieving Lennok’s goal.

If I were to grant Sebastian’s request in this state my priorities would be reversed.

I needed to make it clear to Sebastian what to prioritize.

After listening to Lennok’s explanation he nodded without difficulty.

“I don’t think things will work out that easily either. “The Arashak Exploration Team has several sponsors commensurate with its skill and reputation and they also do not want the exploration team to be wiped out.”

“good. “If you can understand that part I can talk to Jenny.”

Lennok stood up as he said that.

The issues related to medicine ships and drug lords are delegated to Jenny and the issues related to the Arashark Exploration Team are delegated to Sebastian and Lennok uses the information gathered in the middle to make a decision.

The problem that needs to be dealt with first is the exploration team but the priority should be the drug ship and drug lord issue.

You must move constantly but you must not mistake the order.

Afterwards Lennok talked with Sebastian about the identities and locations of the remaining members of the exploration team a list of sponsors and where Irina Pesfield might be hiding.

As if to prove that Sebastian only receives customers in certain fields the information gap between the fields he does not know and the fields he knows is extreme.

On the other hand there was a lot I knew about the field I was interested in especially the profitable business so Lennok also learned a lot.

“Then let’s just get up now. “If you take about three or four days to prepare the time will be roughly right.”

“good. “I guess I’ll have to take care of some of the backlog.”

Lennok stood up easing his stiff neck.

As I have been seeing Aris less and less recently the calls I receive through my cell phone have been unusual.

As an assistant professor I never put off doing what I had to do but since I joined her as a researcher I had to do what I had to do.

Providing ideas in terms of research assistance was also something Lennoc did because he needed time to think.

I’m tired but I can help it.

Balancing life in the shade and in the sun was not a choice but a necessity.

Lennok opened his cell phone found Aris’ number in his contacts entered it and left Sebastian’s office.
