Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 233



Neighbor(2)

“It’s been a while Ban.”

Evelyn wearing a thin suit walked into the bar and shook the object in her hand.

“I was wondering what I should bring as a gift to celebrate the opening… You know?”

“I don’t know what you know.”

Lennok who was sitting at the bar on the first floor and drinking a drink shook his head.

“Is that what the person who just brought a basket of vegetables says? “It hasn’t changed at all since before.”

“I grew it myself so don’t worry. “It will be very healthy.”

“….”

Moreover looking at the composition it looks like the same pile of vegetables that Lennok received yesterday.

I gently pushed it next to the bar and Jordan took it with a puzzled look on his face.

Evelyn who saw this with a proud expression sat down next to Ban and opened a glass of whiskey.

Despite having a fairly striking appearance the way he blends in with people is very natural.

Isn’t it that difficult for a top-notch archer to blend in with those around him?

“Because of what happened last time. “I have something to say.”

She spoke naturally as she passed by.

“It’s not a story worth talking about in a place like this so let’s take a seat… Are you okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“The drinking glass hasn’t moved since a while ago.”

The moment Lennok heard Evelyn’s words he realized that his left arm was fixed and not moving at all.

“…It’s no big deal. “It gives me some food to think about.”

It’s true that the timing was so bad that it made me wonder if Evelyn had really discovered Lennok’s identity.

But looking at her words and actions now it seemed like her eyes were focused on something else rather than trying to reveal Lennok’s secret.

If you don’t get caught right away that’s enough.

Lennok who quickly gathered his thoughts stood up and led her to the temporarily prepared office.

After the cartel’s work was over it was a place where they often stopped by and used it to stabilize the magic core so it was vaguely dusty.

After closing the door and roughly cleaning up the dust I was almost ready.

Evelyn sat leaning on a chair by the window and turned her head when she heard a sound coming from outside.

In the back yard of the bar Dray and other office workers were now sparring among themselves.

Since Wei An and Manson’s sparring they seem to have enjoyed it so much that it has become an annual event.

She looked down at him and smiled softly.

“It’s nice to see. We do something similar sometimes. “It is effective in measuring the skills of the crew and increasing their desire to train.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course I’ve never missed first place there either.”

“….”

Instead of responding to that trivial remark Lennok tapped the desk.

A heavy wave of magical power instantly engulfed all directions and blocked all surrounding sounds.

Lennok took out a thin piece of tobacco from his arms lit it and stared at Evelyn.

“So can I hear what you want to say that’s why you’re taking such a long time?”

“….”

“I’ve known you since I started working on this floor so it’s not a short period of time. “Out of all of them the only time he came to see me in person was when he asked me to nominate him.”

I remember the last conversation we had to get Parden McQueen’s personal information.

Did you say that it is difficult to find time as agents’ scope of work has expanded abnormally recently?

The fact that she who had said that it would be difficult to help Lenok any longer because it was too much to deal with what was happening outside the Balkans came to visit Lennok now proves that the situation is not normal.

However instead of responding to Lennok’s words Evelyn turned her head slightly and started talking about something else.

“Do you remember the day we first met?”

“…it was a hard day to forget.”

How could I forget the day I met that crocodile giant while destroying the factory with Dylan?

The transcendent strength of breaking free from the limitations of one’s species is still vividly engraved in Lennok’s mind even now more than two years later.

“okay. “When I saved your and Dylan’s lives I never imagined you would become like this.”

“….”

“Others might think you’ve been hiding your skills but I know. There is a huge gap between you then and you now. And that you have the talent to make that ridiculous growth understandable.”

Evelyn lowered her head resting her chin on one arm.

Jet black hair fell down her head and obscured her expression.

“I have a right to know because I saved your life back then.”

Would it be an illusion to think that the green light shining through the hair feels extremely cold?

“The possibility that I thought I had rescued from the swamp of the Pandemonium… did not end up walking into that swamp myself.”

“You Evelyn….”

“half.”

Evelyn interrupted Lennok and asked in a cold voice.

“What is your relationship with the warlock of Pandemonium?”

“….”

Lennok put down the hand he had held at the beginning of the year and quietly looked at Evelyn.

It’s no wonder she suspects Lennok’s relationship with Myeong.

At the moment when Myeong appeared and was talking to Oliveira with accelerated consciousness Evelyn who appeared belatedly would have been able to notice his appearance.

In fact even Lennok did not expect that Ming would show up to help Lennok during the general meeting of executives much less Evelyn who helped Lennok in both material and spiritual ways.

Rather the fact that she came to see Lennok like this only after everything was resolved proves the level of patience Evelyn had in treating Lennok.

How long did she think about asking this question and whether she was mentally prepared to accept the truth she didn’t want to face.

It would be impossible for Lennok to guess everything that was going on.

“They told me to come in before the battle.”

That is why Lennok answered honestly.

To himself as well as to her.

“He asked me if I had decided on an answer and said he needed a magician like me.”

“….”

“I said no and he said yes. But others said it would be different… that’s all.”

“…How should I believe that?”

“well. “I don’t know.”

Lennok closed his eyes.

“But I still haven’t forgotten the price you paid for my life.”

“….”

“I think I answered you at least that honestly.”

There was silence.

What does Evelyn think of Lennok’s answer?

In the worst case Lennok might have to personally check whether she knew the secrets of the Blue Eyes organization.

The green eye light that was shining softly through the hair slowly fades away.

Evelyn’s face which raised her head again was that of an archer just as neat as usual.

“good. “If what you said is true… there is one thing I need to do.”

“Something to do?”

Are you talking about a nomination request?

The moment Lennok tilted his head slightly Evelyn took out a wad of paper and placed it on the desk.

It was a newspaper scattered haphazardly in the bar.

Among them one article particularly stands out.

[Is Blazer Magic Tower finally returning to normal?]

[Leaving behind unexpected troubles we return to the main axis of the steel industry]

[Magic Tower’s spokesperson declined to comment on the ongoing dispute]

“Recently after a war of nerves between the Blaver Mage Tower and the Demon Tower news from the Mage Tower was cut off causing disruption to the nearby steel industry.”

“….”

“After a while the magic tower began to operate normally but there is absolutely no information about what happened to the demon battle. “The Magic Tower side does not want to acknowledge this dispute at all and is keeping quiet about the internal situation due to tight security.”

“so?”

“The upper echelons of the city council are suspecting that Bokmajeon and Magic Tower have reached a compromise after a dispute.”

Evelyn’s eyes turned sharp.

“In other words there may be evidence of negotiations with the Bokmajeon or its members remaining inside the Magic Tower. That means…”

“Are you saying that Blaver Magic Tower can be subjugated to the city under the pretext of its weakness in colluding with Pandemonium?”

Lennok also adjusted his posture at the interesting view.

Rather than targeting the Pandemonium itself as the enemy and pursuing it the idea of ​​targeting its helpers and extracting as much benefit as possible is not a bad idea.

In the end it is too inefficient from the city government’s point of view to catch and kill the members of Bokmajeon one by one.

Isn’t the reason why we leave Croken alone even though we clearly know that he is often roaming the city streets at night because we can’t bear the sacrifices that will occur in the process of killing him?

“okay. As you know the Blaver Magic Tower to be precise the West Continent branch of the Magic Tower is located in a remote volcanic area. “It means that there is no need for us to bear the losses incurred in the process of tracking down Pandemonium.”

“I see….”

“The agreement between the two cities has been concluded and an order has already been issued from the city council. A few of the agents working in the field and I will form a team and move it ourselves. And I want you to participate in this operation as an external advisor to the agent.”

Is this a search and seizure of the West Continent branch of Blaver Magic Tower?

I also understand why Evelyn went out of her way to visit him.

Although nominal Lennok still maintains the position of external advisor to the agent and it must have been difficult to find a wizard of that level of skill.

Moreover if a complete investigation of the magic tower was needed and magical insight was needed there was no need to say who the wizard would be most helpful on the spot.

I never imagined that the series of causes and effects I encountered in the Dominion would lead in this way… but to be honest it’s true that I’m intrigued.

In fact this all started when Lennok disguised himself as Weizen and put the drug lord into a coma.

At the time it was an attempt to turn the arrow of suspicion towards Baizen and other wizards of the Magic Tower but I never imagined it would work this well.

But if there is one thing that bothers me…

“If you suspect that I am part of the Pandemonium War then you should never suggest such an operation to me.”

“….”

“If there really is something wrong with the Magic Tower and I betray it in the process of finding out the operation itself… Oh I see.”

It was only after Lennok had said that that he realized why Evelyn was thinking and laughed.

“I never thought from the beginning that I was in a phantom battle. “Did you make this long introduction to propose this matter?”

“Well it’s not necessarily like that.”

Evelyn also looked at Lennok and said with a smile.

“If you are not a member of the Pandemonium you can prove it in front of them.”

“….”

Even if you say that if you really didn’t have any doubts you wouldn’t have come to visit me like this.

Did he participate in this operation to borrow Lennok’s power and at the same time check for himself whether he really had anything to do with the Pandemonium War?

Or considering her position as an agent it is possible that she received additional orders from higher-ups…

Lennok put those thoughts aside for now and nodded.

“good. “It is true that there are circumstances that could raise suspicion and I am interested in this incident.”

Blaver Magic Tower is a sanctuary that is the headquarters of the unique flame-type magic that Lennok has acquired.

Even if you don’t have to talk about Pandemonium if you can visit there in person there is a high possibility that you will receive magical achievements or inspiration.

Considering Lennok’s newly awakened ability in the imagery area it is essential to increase ‘branching points’ through various experiences.

However I had no intention of volunteering for free.

“But even so you will have to offer me a price worth leaving immediately.”

Now that business is stabilizing there won’t be many cases where Lennok’s force will be needed but it is still true that there is some risk in vacating the city.

As it has only been a short while since he was inaugurated as an outside director of the cartel no one would touch the business unless he wanted to get into trouble with the Three Heads but he couldn’t just listen to Evelyn’s words and blindly follow them.

“You don’t have to worry about compensation. “For this project almost all of the budget requests from the higher-ups have been approved so if we raise some funds we will be able to meet most of the requests.”

“good. then….”

Lennok briefly summarized the requirements he had in mind and told them to Evelyn.

She accepted most of the demands but frowned as she did not immediately understand Lennok’s final condition.

“…You want that?”

“That’s actually the biggest requirement.”

Lennok said with his arms crossed.

“If not for this I don’t think you’ll ever get another chance?”

“ha….”

Evelyn sighed deeply and nodded feebly.

“I knew it wasn’t wizard-like but… I like it. “Anyway it’s a request of goodness that I can handle.”

“The deal is done.”

Lennok smiled and held out his hand.

“Please do well with this operation as well.”

So the two simply set a meeting place and time and parted ways.

Basically what Lennok asked for as an advance payment was a pass to a closed society called the Eight Roaring Citadel among the Three Heads.

In addition there was more than enough to replenish all the elixirs consumed in the battle with McQueen and a copy of the pharmaceutical law kept separately by the agent.

A large number of catalysts are consumed to draw and maintain the magic circle and one personal request related to Evelyn.

Regardless of the success or failure of the operation it is a contract of such a size that even artifacts and relics can be received from the agent’s safe after the operation is completed.

After Evelyn left Lennok looked down at the items on the desk.

A shabby piece of paper with a diagonal gold border.

A temporary identification card that allows you to enter the center of Baguong Fortress.

It is the most closed and secretive organization among the Triumvirate and is one of the few secretaries in this city that Jenny’s eyes and ears cannot easily reach.

Even among megacities that were expanding with various interests intertwined it was a special area where the city government had no influence due to all kinds of illegality and corruption running rampant.

A slum that is no different from a small country within a city created by quickly gaining power and taking control of the territory centered on the unlicensed building area in between.

Although people from Bagueng Citadel who escaped from there are often seen outside the city entering it is almost impossible unless you follow their own laws.

However that is why there are strange items floating around that cannot be easily found in the city.

There are rumors that there are places where time passes abnormally quickly in the forbidden area even inside the fortress compared to other historical sites.

What Lennok was aiming for was exactly there.

Any artifact or relic handled in such a place would inevitably have some benefit to Lennok.
