Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 262



Palgoong Fortress (2)

Only then did Lennok understand what Evelyn meant when she said that the timing was not good.

If the atmosphere inside the fortress is calm there is no problem in becoming a representative of one of the eight families.

All you have to do is finish the auction comfortably and leave the fortress.

But what does it mean to be a representative of a family now that the struggle for power is fierce among the families?

Evelyn was warning that she might get caught up in a fight inside the fortress.

“Not bad.”

“what?”

After hearing that Lennok actually made up his mind.

Chasing the traces of the cult. Enter the auction house and learn about historical sites and time magic.

If both of these goals are related to fighting inside the fortress avoiding fighting is the only way to go.

Rather it was more efficient to actively jump into the game.

“No matter what happens it’s not difficult to keep your body safe.”

Lennok said as he put the ticket in his pocket.

“If the situation arises all you have to do is use your position as an outside director of the cartel as a shield. “There are plenty of holes to escape from so there’s no reason why you can’t step in.”

“…I’m sure the presidents will be very happy with that decision.”

Evelyn shook her head at the sight of Lennok grinning.

“If you still plan on going after hearing that I won’t stop you. “It’s not like you’ve worked on this street for a day or two…”

“good.”

“However I don’t know much about how the struggle is currently going on inside the fortress. “It is difficult to obtain information about the Palgwang Fortress but since there is no place to use it people tend not to touch it at all unless it is necessary.”

“Jenny said the same thing. “I understand.”

In fact he expressed his intention to visit the Palgong Fortress and sought the necessary information but it is said that the answer was not immediately available even on the deep web.

Since I had to wait a week to get the necessary information or the current situation it seemed like it would have been better for Lennok to go in and dig in.

Now that you’ve heard about the ticket it would be better to find out which family created the ticket and then participate in the auction house.

While Lennok was thinking this and organizing what he had to do next he suddenly heard a thick voice from behind him.

“Team leader Marcia!”

A handsome middle-aged man walked up to Evelyn and shook her hand without hesitation.

Just by looking at all the accessories and artifacts on his body you could guess the thickness of the man’s wallet.

Evelin also immediately recognized the man and gave a slightly embarrassed smile.

“Boss Tucker. “It’s been a while.”

“It’s been so long!! “Team leader what brings you here? Is there anything you need to see at the fortress?”

The man named Tucker shook Evelin’s hand and immediately began telling his story without even listening to her answer.

“…Looking back it was a really big deal back then. “If the team leader hadn’t helped us we would have been prey to pollutants in the desert outside the city.”

“Oh yeah.”

“But after overcoming that crisis and delivering goods to our clients things went well and it became a business that even provided supplies to the Palgwang Fortress!! “It’s all thanks to the team leader.”

Marcia smiled awkwardly at the sight of Tucker chuckling while stroking his protruding stomach.

He is so talkative that even Lennok who was watching from the side gets sick of him. Is it possible for a person with such energy to deliver supplies to all sorts of places and create business partners?

“But this person…?”

After a while Tucker’s eyes landed on Lennok who was standing behind Evelyn.

Only then did Evelyn introduce Lennok to Tucker.

“This is called Van. “I’m a wizard who also serves as an external advisor to the agent.”

“Ah half…! “I’ve heard that name too!!”

Tucker made a fuss and shook hands politely.

“There is no one who does not know about the fastness of Area 49. “He was famous for being overloaded with work but I never thought I’d be able to see him in person here.”

“…?”

Fastness. Lennok is a title I have never heard of.

When I slowly turned my head to look at Evelyn Evelyn nodded with a nervous expression.

It seemed like she knew roughly what Lennok was called around here.

“I never thought I would see you two like this in front of the passage leading to the fortress… Do you have anything to see in the Eight Great Fortress?”

“Oh it’s not about me it’s about the class.”

As Evelin took a step back Tucker rushed forward more aggressively.

“okay! “If you are having trouble entering the fortress I think I can help you…”

“….”

Instead of answering Lennok stared into Tucker’s eyes.

His round face was clearly that of a good-natured man but Lennok was able to read something different behind his words and attitude.

‘You knew who I was from the beginning.’

Although Evelin and I chatted for a while what we just said was probably Tucker’s main point.

At first glance it appears that Tucker is doing Lennok a favor but the reality is different.

If you help Lennok and accompany him the perception will spread among the people inside the Eight Roaring Fortress that Tucker and Ban are in the same group.

Naturally Tucker is also guaranteed safety inside the fortress and becomes easier to receive treatment.

Tucker believed that if he could hire freelancers in District 49 who were not easily hired even for money in this way he would have a viable business.

‘I’m not in a situation where I need help but…’

Entering the Palgwang Fortress requires very strict procedures and verification but if you have the ticket given by Evelyn entering the fortress itself is not very difficult.

This ticket issued directly by the 8th family is equivalent to proof that the holder is an agent of the family.

If you show this properly and show off your prestige passing the castle’s strict inspection will be a piece of cake.

But Lennok smiled and nodded even though he clearly guessed that fact.

“Thank you I was just having a hard time. “Is it okay if I accompany you?”

“Of course!” “I’ll bring my companions and luggage right now!”

Evelin frowned as she looked at the back of Tucker running away with a bright smile on his face.

“I met him during an external business trip last month but he is not as nice a person as he seems. “Are you okay?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Lennok answered with a relaxed expression.

“It seems like they want to use my name as a shield… It would be beneficial to me if I could hide my ticket when entering the fortress.”

The ticket that Lennok holds is proof that he is an agent of the Five Rings.

Conversely the moment you present this ticket as a pass at the entrance to the castle you are informing the castle’s high-ranking officials that Lennok is an agent of the Oryun family.

Rather than that I liked it more by pretending to be a member of Tucker’s group and making people not know which family they were representatives of.

Of course this information will be discovered quickly once Lennok begins his activities in earnest but it is also Lennok’s job to take advantage of the information imbalance that will exist for a short period of time.

“And coming with me doesn’t necessarily mean it’s safe.”

Evelyn looked at Lennok’s grinning face and shook her head.

* * *

So Lennok briefly greeted Evelyn and immediately followed Tucker into the fortress.

Tucker remained polite to Ban even after Evelin left.

“Haha this is not the first time we have supplied supplies inside the fortress. “It probably wouldn’t be that difficult to pass even if Ban accompanied us.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course. Actually this is something that shouldn’t be said here but…”

Tucker glanced around and whispered into Lennok’s ear.

“Most people in the castle are not very interested in what goes on outside. “I’m sorry but you may not even know who Ban is.”

As expected the fortress’s traffic manager looked closely at the new companion but did not recognize Lennok.

If I hid my magic power enough maybe people would mistake me for just an ordinary wizard?

If I had shown the ticket the reaction would have been much more intense than this.

Deciding to accompany Tucker was a much better decision than I thought.

As I entered the fortress after passing the cement wall that was more than a dozen meters high an open street came into view.

What stands out most is the architecture which is completely different from the typical style of megacities.

It is full of impressive houses and buildings with thick wooden pillars and wide curved floor tiles.

The clothing of people passing by on the streets also gave off a slightly different impression from the modern clothing of a large city.

In addition there are a lot of stares every time Tucker’s big truck drives down the lane.

It was definitely an amazing place in many ways to see the atmosphere change so much just because of a thick cement wall.

“It seems like there is a lot of interest in outsiders here.”

“There are so many people lining up outside the fortress but the number of people who can actually come inside is limited.”

Tucker answered with a somewhat proud look on his face.

In fact if he was able to break through and maintain a trading network even inside the fortress his business skills must have been considerable.

Tucker who was sitting next to the employee who was driving the wheel started talking about how he had made a deal with the fortress and how well he packaged and delivered the goods.

I thought he chatted for so long on purpose to attract Lennok but it seemed to be his nature to talk a lot.

Judging by the familiar expressions on the faces of the employees sitting in different seats of the truck this must have happened more than once.

Lennok slowly turned his head and concentrated on interpreting the structure of the barrier erected in this area.

The structure was so elaborate that even Lennok who had acquired some knowledge of barrier arts through the Liberation Blade and the Master Blade Gate could not sense it right away.

Perhaps this fortress itself is a concept and various conditions and restrictions are used to maintain the barrier.

If we can know the conditions and limitations Lennok’s barrier technique can be further advanced.

While he was lost in thought Tucker spoke to Lennok again.

“It is enough for you to just work with our business partners. After that I think you can go to your desired destination.”

Since I came inside with Tucker’s help I will have to follow him wherever he wants to go.

After parting ways with Tucker I planned to change my face appropriately and gather information about the eight families nearby.

In particular it would be important information to know what position the Oryun family holds in the struggle for power in the castle and how helpful it will be to Lennok.

The moment Lennok was about to nod his head while thinking that he suddenly felt a figure approaching quickly from beyond his sensory sphere.

“….”

Those who manipulate magic power. More than ten people are approaching from all directions targeting Tucker’s truck.

Papababababat!!

Swift figures stepping on roof tiles and running from all directions.

That moment when Lennok frowned feeling a faint sense of déjà vu.

Wow!!

Dozens of black seals instantly surrounded the truck in the middle of the car.

A sharp flash of light flashes within the arms and at the same time a blade pierces through the truck’s windshield.

Wow!!

There was no time to ask anything.

As a magician he caught and twisted all the attacks coming from around him and then unleashed shock magic to make the figures retreat.

“Aaaah!!”

The employee whose complexion turned pale drove the truck forward like crazy.

The truck seemed to be holding the steering wheel carelessly as it suddenly left the lane and headed down a dark alley.

A narrow alley that can barely accommodate a car. Should I say that it is fortunate that there are no people nearby?

Lennok muttered looking out the window.

“It would have been better to keep driving in the lane.”

“Yes yes?”

“Doing this will only give the pursuers an excuse.”

These are the guys who tried to kill us without any hesitation even in the middle of a large crowd.

In an alleyway without people’s attention it would not be strange for things to be more extreme than this.

Although he didn’t expect something like this to happen as soon as he entered the castle Lennok wasn’t that surprised.

Since Ban entered the fortress without even bothering to hide his face he was thinking that there might be an altercation at least once.

“What is this!! Why is this suddenly happening to us!!”

Tucker shouted his chin shaking.

Instead of responding Lennok immediately shook his head at the sight of a figure running behind him.

It chases the truck by casually stepping on the wall between the alleys and running.

Da da da da!!

Unlike the truck which could only move through this narrow road the speeding pursuers moved in three dimensions instantly narrowing the distance.

If things continue like this everyone except Lennok will be killed right here and there.

If you’re not going to let the pursuers live it might be better to help them here and get paid for it.

“I’ll intercept you. “Keep stepping on it.”

Lennok who finished calculating in an instant reached for his left sleeve.

Slam!!

A revolver pops out when the shrinking spell is released.

However its appearance is of a much different type than what Lennok has used so far.

A smooth cylinder with a pure white gun barrel and a bright blue magic light shining softly.

The new equipment which had been commissioned to be custom-made by Palmer for a huge fee had finally arrived in Lennok’s hands.

Lennoc holding the gleaming white revolver and holding on to the window frame of the truck looked back at Tucker.

Although he pretended to have good intentions his purpose of selling his class’s name to guarantee his safety was not sound.

If it’s the price for saving his life it might be okay to accept a little more than you thought.

Lennok smiled faintly and asked Tucker.

“Incentives will be needed. “You’ll be okay right?”
