Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 31



Buaaaa!!

After only a minute had passed.

Lennok was following the group of male and female freelancers from earlier in the same old jeep that the couple was riding in.

There was no need to tell what happened to the man and woman couple who pointed the gun at him.

This time I cast [Bloody Chase] on the woman’s blood and run down the alley following the direction.

Unlike the man named Mount the woman seemed to have the magic power to detect Lennok’s magic but it seemed like she had no time to destroy it while she was being chased like this.

Attach a red thread to the windshield of a car and change direction as your head shakes.

It would have been difficult to chase an ordinary vehicle but a chase against a car without a single rear wheel was possible even with Lennok’s rough driving skills.

As I go up and down the worn-out alleys and through the narrow streets I soon start to see a car staggering forward.

I just stepped on the accelerator and hit it.

Kwaaaang!!

Lennok’s body shook violently along with the car body but the shield wrapped around his body was strangely crushed under Lennok’s magic control preventing bruises.

He turned the steering wheel completely throwing the car to the side of the road and smashing it.

Wow!

The old stone wall is getting scratched and in an instant the passenger car door is tattered.

Lennok grinned as he heard an unknown shout coming from inside.

I wanted to drive the car until the side was completely destroyed but soon the narrow alley ended and an open space appeared.

The front yard of an old abandoned five-story building.

Next to it is a long similarly closed railroad track a trace of the old days covered in rust.

As soon as there was space the car quickly moved to the side and escaped the jeep’s headbutt.

A car could be seen driving away in the distance but Lennok leisurely watched them instead of stepping on the accelerator once more.

‘There is no place to run to.’

Even before entering the vacant lot I had already checked using magic power detection.

The road back to the alley and the wide open railway are blocked by Lennok.

Unless the two plan to climb up the abandoned building and escape they should stop here.

Even if you wanted to do that you wouldn’t want to show your back with Lennok clearly in front of you.

And by now… it was time to take advantage of the numerical superiority and sink our teeth into it.

Sure enough the car which had been running smoothly even though it was staggering suddenly stopped and the car door burst open from inside.

Instead of running away the two people got out of the car and started slowly walking towards Lennok.

Mount gritted his teeth while massaging the sore back of his neck.

“It’s been a long time since I was hit while driving. It’s been a while since I remembered the old days. Thank you so much you bastard.”

“Mount.”

“Trisha. Don’t stop me. Seeing as how he’s followed up this far without missing a single point he’s got pretty good sense. “I need to clean this up and go.”

“…It’s not wrong.”

The woman called Trisha finally noticed that Lennok had used [Bloody Chase] on her and raised her magic power to shake it off.

She also raised her eyes towards Lennok and shot him a sharp look.

“hey. Are you a freelancer too? Madison seems to have spread his hands everywhere because he was in a hurry but the idiot who tried to sell company secrets is now saying that there is no use in struggling. “Why are you interfering with something that’s already been done?”

“If I really thought this was going to end I wouldn’t have left Madison alive.”

Lennok answered indifferently.

“……what?”

“If we’ve already found a customer to buy the blueprints there’s no reason to send Madison back alive. “Don’t you need someone to cover the ground while you sell the blueprints somewhere else?”

It’s unfortunate but that’s what it means to be hit in the back on the floor.

If you’re going to risk your life for profit and loss and betray in the streets where trust that has been overturned is fluttering like scraps of toilet paper shouldn’t you do it right?

In that sense Mount and Trisha’s actions after betraying Madison are extremely awkward.

At first glance they appear to be experienced people who have struggled on the floor but it would be reasonable to say that the reason they sent Madison who was extremely immature alive with only a bruised lip was not because they were suddenly equipped with sympathy but for another reason.

And that meant that the blueprint was still in their possession.

In preparation for battle Lennok took out a new pack of tobacco from his pocket and flicked his hand.

“Give it to me. “If you hand it over now and get it out your life will be spared.”

Still this is the maximum consideration Lennoc can give to fellow freelancers.

However it seemed that Lennok’s words sounded very close to the two people.

“No really… I think this is the way to solve it in a good way. “If you don’t understand what I’m saying we have no choice but to use our hands.”

From their point of view standing in a numerical superiority Lennok’s high-handed attitude was completely incomprehensible.

It’s strange that even though our thoughts are completely different we can talk so smoothly.

And none of the three attached any meaning to that conversation.

Trisha muttered as she raised her magic power with a murderous expression.

“It will save your life? “I’ll just kill you so pray for yourself!!”

Woooo!!

At the same time ten long strands of magic power stretched out from both of her hands and instantly attached themselves to the car and like a wild horse with its engine running it began to gallop towards Lennok.

Buaaaa!!

As soon as Lennok saw her he immediately realized what kind of magician Trisha was.

‘Manipulation class unique magic. That’s a pretty sophisticated type too. If you can manipulate a vehicle on that street and crash it into it…’

Earlier I was unable to catch them because I was concentrating on detecting the presence of the two people in a hectic situation including the smoke bomb but if Trisha is a manipulation-type wizard everything that happened from before can be somewhat understood.

The reason why a car with no one in the driver’s seat took off suddenly and why it managed to come this far even though one of the rear wheels was broken must have been because of her presence.

Manipulation-type magic is notorious for requiring extremely precise techniques among other techniques but it has the advantage of being able to respond flexibly to a wide variety of situations assuming it is capable enough.

However the inherent difficulty of magic is high and it is very difficult to increase the application range and range of ‘Magician’ which is the basis of the manipulation class so it is difficult to achieve great success unless you are born with the relevant talent.

Or like Lennok he has the ability to instantly repair the magic itself.

[Marionette]

Connect the magic thread extended with your index finger to the jeep standing behind you.

By pouring magic power into a magician whose range does not increase due to the limitations of common magic the range is increased and the scope of application is expanded.

The headlights which had been turned off flashed on and the Jeep started in an instant and jumped forward.

Woooo!!

crash.

Kwaaaa!!

The car bodies that collided at an angle make a loud noise and fly off in different directions.

Bumpers and body parts flying around.

The image of a car narrowly passing by Lennok and a jeep jumping out into the distance and hitting its head on an old abandoned building intersect.

Beyond the black smoke rising from both bodies Trisha’s eyes could be seen widening as if torn.

“Now wait a minute… How can you use manipulation-type magic…?”

“Focus idiot!!”

Is it actually that sloppy-looking man who is coming to his senses?

Lennok immediately raised his magic power while listening to Mount’s shout.

Woooooo!!

Purple whips scattered in the air quickly shot out and aimed in the direction where the two people were.

Both Mount and Trisha easily dodged the attack but the whip actually passed them by and stretched straight ahead.

They immediately grabbed hold of the rebar of the abandoned building standing behind them.

Wow…!!

[Gravity Bind] mixes with the supports of the abandoned building which were shaking due to the collision with Lennok’s jeep and powerful gravity pulls down the imbalance.

Only then did Trisha’s complexion turn pale as she realized Lennok’s intention but it was already too late.

Pull your arm back and grab it.

The old and rusted rebars of the abandoned building could not resist the pull and fell down like dominoes in a single moment hitting the vacant lot.

shield

Quaaaaaaa!!

The concrete supporting the wall is breaking down and dozens and hundreds of rebars are falling down inside.

The rusted rebar shattered from the impact of the fall and metal chunks flew out in all directions.

Lennok who created the board as he wanted immediately struck down his magic power once more.

Whoa…!!

Take one step forward and stretch out wide.

The magic power flowing out from between the fingers takes a path of strong thoughts and images and is transformed into a concrete form.

He quickly recombined the remaining magic power and drew a new bundle of blue lightning in the air.

[Lightning Bound]

I’m so sorry!!!

An intensely flashing sphere strikes down as if dozens of bolt magics have been condensed.

A burst of heat accompanied by a light intensity so strong that the darkening sky turned bright blue in an instant.

Paaaa!!

The rusted rebar responded loudly to the intense electric shock and a bright blue electric current flowed like a wave illuminating the ground.

It is a wide-area technique that will inevitably take a hit unless you are very good at it.

I didn’t put too much effort into the couple in the old jeep earlier but these guys are different.

The goal was directly related to Lennok’s work and he had no intention of relaxing against those who had a strong influence on the car from the start.

“……”

It must have been a hit but beyond the sand dust there was only dead silence.

Lennok waited quietly holding a cigarette in his mouth and inhaling the smoke.

I don’t even think I’ll die like this and even if I actually die it’s difficult.

If the blueprints are not in their hands we will have to use their words to find a broker called Madame.

And the vital response in Lennok’s senses did not disappoint his expectations.

Kwaaaa!!

Like a mole swarming through sand the mount protruded from beneath Lennok’s feet crawling between the steel bars and hitting his arm hard.

What he is holding in his hand is a straight sword that resembles a sharp awl.

The bright blue magical light flowing from the blade collided with Lennok’s shield.

Uzijijijik!!

Ilsoo who dug down with such force tore through two layers of Lennok’s shield and dug right into it.

The penetrating power is more than meets the eye.

The moment they collided Lennok sensed this and quickly took two steps back and struck with a shock spell.

Boom!!

At the same time he took out his revolver and aimed at both shoulders of the mount and fired one shot at a time.

Tatang!!

However after the mount was hit by a moderate amount of shock magic and escaped he evaded the bullets fired by Lennok by swinging his body to the side and immediately clung further forward.

“……”

It was a simple movement but Lennok’s eyes cooled as he recognized Mount’s level with that one response.

The fact that he was able to shake off the shock magic he couldn’t see the moment he was hit means he’s no longer an average person.

The reason he dodged the revolver’s bullet was probably because he was worried that Lennok had some kind of trick rather than because the bullet itself was threatening.

The third shield breaks through and immediately the fourth begins to shake.

Proof that the power of Mount’s repeated strikes with that awl-like sword is comparable to the strength of the bandit-like man he met at the port.

It was different from before when you could simply block it by layering five layers of shields.

I feel that I am meeting a higher level opponent as my enemy.

Kwazijijik!!

Break through the fourth shield. If the fifth shield is breached it is only a matter of time before Lennok is exposed bare-chested.

Moreover the fact that Trisha does not appear is something that cannot be overlooked.

Although it was an unusual crisis for a lightly received request Lennok’s face was still as cold as ice.

Despite the opponent’s skill changing every day Lennok’s answer does not change.

Just like I first thought I didn’t avoid it and just went straight ahead.

Wasn’t the magic research I’d been working on for so long also prepared for a moment like this?

Sigh!

As soon as I snapped my fingers the shield that was desperately resisting the mount’s attack flinched.

Weeeeeee!!

In an instant it began to rotate around an invisible starting point.

Let’s go!!

The shield which seemed to simply tremble at first spins frantically as if it is powered by an engine popping the mount in an instant.

As the point of impact that had been concentrated in one place became misaligned the blade of the mount lost its penetrating power and its power began to deviate.

‘Measures in case the shield breaks were prepared long ago.’

There was just no opportunity to use it in the port.

The attack that the bandit-like man unleashed was not just at the level of breaking the shield but was threatening to bury Lennok in the ground.

This is because it was more urgent to escape from the spot than to rotate the shield.

In the end Mount who failed to pierce Lennok’s shield quickly confirmed his escape route and moved.

It was only then that Lennok was able to clearly see what weapon Mount was holding in his hand.

It is not a blade but an elongated awl that resembles a drill.

A bright blue magical light was leaking from between the slowly rotating blades.

Wow..!!

Since he was holding a weapon that focused on penetrative power to that extent was it possible to cut through the shield in an instant?

It also seemed clear that Mount’s skill in handling such an unusual weapon was formidable.

However after the first surprise attack failed I have no intention of giving it a second chance.

“……Tch.”

Lennok lowered his magic power and swung while looking at the mount who had no choice but to lick his lips and retreat.

Damn it…!!

In an instant the ground I was standing on froze creating a pure white ice sheet and blue waves of electricity began to travel over it.

The three foxes that came out of Lennok’s hand resonated violently holding up a net of lightning narrowing the mount’s action radius and Lennok’s auxiliary magic with the revolver filled the gap.

Ta-ta-ta-tang!!

Although it is difficult for firearms to have much meaning against superhumans the story is different if you accumulate auxiliary magic for each shot to accumulate damage.

Blood spurted out from Mount’s thighs which had become dull after being hit by a lightning net on the slippery ice.

The moment when a crack appeared in his normally calm expression.

Kwaaaa!!

A pure white object appeared out of thin air breaking the ice created by Lennok and landing on the ground.

Lennok who had been gathering his magic power to respond immediately stopped moving when he saw that.

This is because the appearance of the pure white object Trisha was riding was so bizarre that it was difficult to see.

It looks like a deer but it has no skin and only bones so it rattles.

Trisha riding something that looked difficult to call a living thing looked down at Lennok and radiated deadly magic.

“Do you think it’s something that just comes out of nowhere when the blueprint tells you to hand it over? “Fuck let’s give it a try until no one is left behind!!”

More than ten strands of thread spread out from both her hands and stuck to the skeletal body of the deer and immediately the deer began running towards Lennok.

Doo doo doo!!

Not only the speed but also the sense of weight felt from afar is unusual.

Although it was smaller than the old car from before the feeling of approaching intimidation was even greater.

Lennok also had no intention of just watching.

Pull out the [Gravity Bind] hook it on the deer’s front paw and pull it straight.

Whoa!!

As expected the weight of the deer itself was very heavy and as soon as it was tied to the whip due to gravity its movement slowed down noticeably.

I could feel Trisha gritting her teeth as if she had never expected that a single spell would hinder her movements but the situation did not change.

I can feel the deer struggling to somehow rush forward tear through the ground and hit Lennok.

Lennok had some idea of ​​why Tricia was so aggressive.

As manipulation-type magic generally requires very sophisticated techniques there are cases where the magic is interrupted even if the external environment changes slightly.

Trisha is now planning to put pressure on Lennok from the front cutting off his magic and ending the battle.

However this is all a tactic that can be established under the premise that Lennok is a manipulation-type wizard like her.

And in the opposite case it was a formula that could be applied to Trisha herself.

If you have come this far there is no need to wait any longer.

He extends his magic power as if he is taking control of the space and then grabs and twists all of Trisha’s magic threads.

Magical interference used against wizards.

Wood clatter!!

It was not as difficult as expected to interfere with the manipulation system revealed by a magician who requires delicate control ability and at the same time directly acts on the implementation of magic.

Uddangtangtang!!

As the manipulation magic is released the shape of a pure white bone deer collapses like a doll that has lost its joints.

Even the sight of Trisha with her eyes wide open as if she couldn’t believe it among countless pieces of crumbling bones.

From the moment you lose mobility there is no way a battle can take place.

Lennok who immediately increased his magic power and unleashed three strands of electricity swung his five fingers fiercely.

The magician sparkling between the knuckles sparkles in the night air.

At the same time Trisha’s car which had been pushed out in the first collision flashed its headlights and ran over the owner who fell to the ground.

Kwaaaa!!

“Ugh…!!”

Although she moaned in pain Trisha’s complexion looked fine even after being hit by a car weighing well over a ton.

The moment the bone deer collapsed manipulation-type magic was used to instantly transform the bone fragments into a huge bone shield to cushion the impact.

Lennok’s eyebrows twitched as he confirmed his ability to manipulate magic quickly and delicately.

This is the first time that a follow-up hit was not successful even after using magic interference.

This is proof that Trisha’s magic control and situational coping skills are excellent.

Lennok who raised his alertness to the maximum immediately pulled out a revolver from his waist and pulled the trigger.

[Aim correction]

[Acceleration]

[Speech Reinforcement]

Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!!

Six bullets were fired emptying the revolver’s magazine in an instant.

However in the meantime the mount that quickly runs in front of Trisha blocks half of them and the other half loses its strength and hides behind the collapsed bone shield to avoid it.

“……..”

You can tell just by watching that perfect breathing.

Skilled person. They are also veterans who are hard to find among freelancers.

I opened the cylinder and slowly loaded the bullets while staring at my opponent.

The two people who realized that Lennok was not an ordinary wizard were also looking at him with sharp eyes.

“Trisha focus.”

Mount said while taking a slow breath.

“That is a monster.”

“Fuck….. I know.”

Trisha wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and spoke in a trembling voice.

“I have to kill you here no matter what. “You can’t run away twice.”

“……okay.”

The mount answered briefly and slowly stood in front.

Trisha who had deployed her magic spell widely naturally began to assemble the pieces of broken bones behind her to create something.

Ugh!!!

Accordingly Lennok also slowly rotated his magic power again.

‘……It reminds me of my days at the pharmaceutical company.’

2 to 1 against the front and back forces.

Although the positions are the same the difference in level between the opponents is clear.

But Lennok’s head was still spinning coldly.

‘I used magic interference once so I won’t be easily defeated the second time. But it doesn’t mean there is no way.’

His magic power which spreads widely quickly scans all directions and finds the most efficient and lethal tactic in the current situation.

‘Kill one and capture the other. Timing is important.’

As soon as they finish their thoughts the two of them make the first move.

As the mount raced forward Trisha’s hands began to move busily in all directions.

In an instant a huge bone spear emerged from behind her and shot towards Lennok.

Wood clatter!!

Before Lennok can react it spreads out in all directions like an umbrella anchoring the body to the ground forming a bone cage and restricting movement.

And as the magic power of the mount who had accurately set the target fluctuated violently the awl-like blade he was holding began to rotate like crazy.

madam

Weeeeeee…!!!

Mount’s upper body holding the blade in reverse leans back significantly.

The bent upper body bounced powerfully like a spring leaving only an afterimage and a beam of blue light shot out from the end of the swung arm and raced towards Lennok.

Wow!!

And Lennok who was reading the timing accurately with his magic sense immediately slammed his magic power down on the bottom of his foot.

[Upper Ground]

The ground that Lennok was standing on rises straight upward.

Coo coo coo coo!!!

The javelin that Mount fired with all his might cut through the air in vain and the bone prison that Trisha had delicately manipulated lost its support and collapsed.

Lennok who destroyed the two men’s targets with a single spell continued to increase his magical power.

Crush it in your hand.

A powerful image becomes an intangible will and turns into a light that brightens the night sky.

A bright blue flash of light shattered the moment.

[Thunder Calling]

Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Trisha couldn’t avoid it.

The destructive power visibility and attention are all powerful enough to rip out a person’s soul.

However because there is a certain amount of omen just before casting and because it forcibly draws attention it is a fire magic that can easily cause damage if used incorrectly.

Therefore Lennok has always accurately identified the moment to use this magic.

To put a solid end to a battle that has already ended.

Or the split-second moment that determines victory in a fierce battle.

It’s a shot to grab attention like right now.

It’s a joke!!

“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!”

Mount who was looking up at Lennok from afar suddenly started shaking and screaming in pain.

He who had never suffered much damage even from the lightning net using three electric foxes falls to the ground and begins to tremble like an electrocuted animal even though Lennok’s magic did not reach him.

A very faint strand of magic thread was attached to his neck and the [Bolt] magic sent by Lennok was spewing out its original fire power.

He turned his attention with [Thunder Calling] and at the same time bolted a strand of magic thread that Lennok had pulled out succeeding in subduing the mount.

“Ugh…!!! Such a dog…!! Ugh!!”

Mount finally noticed the magician clinging to his body and struggled but Lennok pulled out a shock spell and struck the back of his head.

Kwaaaang!!

In the end only after checking the mount who was foaming at the mouth and rolling his eyes did Lennok slowly control the magic that was spewing out in all directions.

“Whoa….”

I slowly approach the fallen mount turn him over with my feet and rummage through his arms.

A few crumpled bills. A few consumable artifacts that seem useful in various situations. A small dagger and a sleek pistol.

It is a configuration that a freelancer would carry but is not unusual.

Even though I emptied not only my pockets but also the insides of my shoes I only found one more container of strange nutritional supplements.

“…Did I guess wrong?”

Since the wizard showed signs of stepping forward after leaving the vanguard I thought that if the blueprint was hidden it would be on the mount side but it seems I was overthinking it too much.

I was half-convinced of that and deliberately tried not to use too much magic on the mount… Was it a useless effort?

Now that things are like this I have no choice but to ask Trisha who put in Thunder Calling.

Fortunately Trisha somehow survived the lightning strike struck by Lennok.

As soon as they confirmed the signs of a lightning strike they dismantled the rebar scattered on the floor and created a lightning rod in the air to disperse the destructive power of the lightning strike.

Of course if Lennok had not let go of control to capture Mount alive he would have been reduced to ashes along with the lightning rod but it was true that her improvisation was effective in the end.

Although I was left alive because I could not die I was able to say that I was able to avoid death.

“Cough…!!”

Although it is said to be of mixed race its firepower is strong enough to melt the head of a werewolf with a single attack.

No matter how much you create a lightning rod to disperse the power even if you weaken it it is impossible to survive unscathed.

As if that fact was clearly revealed Trisha’s entire body was a mess.

The skin is scorched and just before it peels off the limbs are frozen and twisted in bizarre directions.

His internal organs must have shrunk so much that he cannot move even slightly from his spot.

However in the meantime the sight of him somehow holding on to a lifeline with the sophisticated magic management ability unique to a manipulation wizard gave Lennok a unique impression.

Lennok squatting down by her bedside with a fresh pack of tobacco in his mouth quietly looked down at her.

“Blueprint.”

“Hehe…what a poisonous bastard…cough cluck!!”

Trisha who had been coughing dryly incessantly let out a laugh.

“If you hand it over now your life will be saved. “You’re not planning on throwing away your colleague’s life are you?”

As Lennok said that he raised his index finger and pointed at Mount who was still unconscious.

Trisha flinched and let out a small sigh just from that movement which did not generate any magic power.

Slowly her mouth opened.

“Phew… It’s been a long time since I handed it over to Madame. Like you said… I haven’t found a customer to sell to yet…”

“……..”

I had expected it to some extent since I heard that the robbers who betrayed Madison were freelancers but when I heard it in person I was completely annoyed.

Lennok held back his anger and contacted Sebastian with a summary of the information he had obtained so far.

There aren’t many brokers in this world who use this many freelancers and use the nickname ‘Madame’ so it won’t be long before she can reach a deal on her own.

The only thing left is what to do with these two people…

Lennok looked down at Trisha who was gradually becoming quieter with a calm gaze.

The aversion to killing an enemy that you once risked your life to defeat has long since disappeared.

However Lennok was not sure whether it would really be beneficial to kill Mount and Trisha right now.

No matter how dirty this street is there is a tendency to be reluctant to kill one’s partner or betray one’s partner.

The reason they were able to stab Madison in the first place was because they were in a position where they were not at all afraid of repercussions even if he betrayed them as a criminal who leaked the company’s project.

It was difficult for Lennok to guess what kind of repercussions would come if he killed these two people.

‘….It’s funny though.’

Even though quite a bit of time has passed since I decided to risk incurring resentment and rise to the top of the underworld my head still wants a reasonable result and forces me to make a rational decision.

You must accurately identify your purpose and observe the route carefully.

Otherwise the talent in which Lennoc trusts so much could very quickly take him in the wrong direction.

Fortunately Lennok’s worries did not last long.

The moment Trisha’s coughing sound completely disappeared someone’s voice began to be heard in the air.

[How about we just let go of each other?]

“……..”

okay. Actually I was expecting it to some extent.

If Madam was so deeply involved in this matter it wouldn’t have been strange for her to have at least one eye planted in this direction.

However I had no idea that Madam herself would come to this place in person.

When I turned my head in the direction from which the voice came a woman suddenly approached me narrowed the distance and was crouching down stroking the head of the unconscious Mount.

Despite the dark night there was a small parasol draped over her shoulder and a pitch-black trench coat that went down to her toes.

Even the pitch-black veil that completely covered his face.

There was a woman there who looked as if she had made a floating ship out of silk and wrapped it all around her body.

She glanced back at Lennok and continued.

[I feel like I took my anger out on my vulnerable children but I want them back before I die. These toys are too precious to be destroyed now.]

“I guess you know what I want right?”

[I’m impatient.]

“……”

[But you have the right to say that. Take it.]

After saying that the woman took out a thick paper file from her arms and threw it away.

At that moment dark red blood spewed out in the air grabbed the iron file slid down and landed in front of Lennok.

The appearance and movement of blood flow that is difficult to believe even when seen with the naked eye.

An innate talent that is similar to but completely different from a blood mage who controls blood through magic.

Lennok muttered as he picked up the file.

“It seems like vampires these days are good at brokering.”

[Just doing what suits your aptitude. Will I be able to get Trisha back soon?]

Lennok silently moved out of the way so that the bloodstream she extracted could touch Trisha’s body.

Now that she has completely lost consciousness bright red blood flows into the inside of her mouth and soon her breathing becomes stable.

“……”

It is a somewhat uncomfortable sight to see in person.

Madame who had carried the two people by skillfully controlling the blood flow looked back at Lennok.

“I want to ask you something.”

[As long as it is not a very sensitive question.]

“….Why did you give up on the blueprint so easily? “Isn’t it too empty of a blueprint for a plan that was pursued in cooperation with Autoble’s development team?”

As Lennok said that he waved the blueprint in his hand.

Madame didn’t say anything but considering the situation so far it was obvious who was planning to join hands with Madison and steal the blueprints.

In other words I did not understand her position on giving up her work just because two freelancers under her were in danger of dying even though she had been leading the Zalman plan until now.

Madame shook her body vaguely upon hearing Lennok’s question.

As if suppressing laughter.

[Why should I just tell you that?]

If you don’t want to talk there’s nothing you can do.

It’s just that I felt like I couldn’t answer that question if it wasn’t now.

Madame saw Lennok’s calm expression and her eyes lit up.

[Jenny I heard that the girl picked up the gemstone but it was a rumor. It is already on the verge of completion.]

“……..”

[This is a story that has no meaning now so let me tell you… That’s right. I don’t see any value in keeping the blueprints anymore. It was much more difficult to find a seller than I thought.]

She obediently told me why this deal was made now.

[Sebastian Because the young guy moved so quickly the fact that this blueprint I was holding was a new development project for Autable spread everywhere. In addition the fact that the blueprint was quite different from the direction that Autable had previously pursued served as a disadvantage for this company. I can only say that I was unlucky in many ways.]

As Madame said that her eyes glowed red beyond the veil.

Although he spoke in a calm manner he seemed to be quite annoyed by this incident.

However Madame calmed down in an instant and stroked Tricia’s limp head.

[This child has quite a unique talent among the children I have raised. Of course he can’t compare to someone like you but he has the talent to be successful in this field. If you can save that child with a few pieces of paper that have lost value it wouldn’t be a bad deal.]

“…That’s right.”

Lennok unconsciously agreed with what Madame said.

In fact Lennok was also a little surprised by the magical talent that Tricia showed.

It is meaningless to compare him to someone who has pushed all magic-related talents to their limit but it was certainly a rare talent that Lennok could so skillfully handle manipulation-type magic that required some care when using it.

Even more so considering that she tried to compete directly with Lennok from the front instead of supporting Mount from the rear.

You can tell just by looking at his mental strength and boldness.

She will definitely be able to become a higher level wizard than she is now.

At least among the wizards Lennok had seen in person he was clearly a talent worth counting.

Even considering that the deviations of the wizards he had seen in person were extremely extreme.

Madame who was about to turn around and disappear stops.

[ah. I forgot to tell you this.]

internal affairs

When Madame waved her hand in the same way as before a flower formed in the bright red blood and something appeared from the inner peak.

I wondered if they had taken such a long time to deliver something great but what emerged from inside was a photo.

[There was a rumor going around that there was a fight at Jenny’s bar with thugs from District 48.]

Lennok silently picked up the photo she handed him.

Beyond a photo with a blurry night sky in the background a bright blue waterspout of lightning appeared.

[This is a photo taken of a battle in which the boss of the Cigar Bang gang participated. I obtained this information through my children so it is unlikely to be information that is available on the market.]

“……..”

Lennok ignored Madame’s words and looked closely at the waterspout in the photo.

Of course this is not a simple natural phenomenon. It wasn’t even a common magic that Lennok could use.

Lightning class unique magic. Among them it is an application technique that only wizards who have reached a significant level can use.

Arcane magic that current Lennok does not have.

Madame’s words heard belatedly add confidence to Lennok’s guess.

[I heard a rumor that he was a very skilled lightning wizard. I brought this to see if you might be interested but I wonder if you like it.]

When she asked the question knowing the answer clearly Lennok was silent and then answered.

“…This probably has nothing to do with the price of the transaction. “Why do you have to tell it to me?”

There is no need to say how important the information that the gang boss had learned the lightning-class magic was to Lennok.

If the collaboration with Dyke continues like this it means that Lennok may meet a lightning-type wizard for the first time in this world.

And it might be a new breakthrough for his blocked magic research.

[I like talented people.]

Although it is not visible it seems as if her smiling face is reflected through the veil.

[How beautiful the flowers that have not yet bloomed are and how fleeting they are. Do I really need to explain it? Let’s say I met someone with such talent.]

Madame had not finished speaking but Lennok immediately realized what she wanted to say.

Interest and greed for talent.

If those feelings were openly revealed there was no way he wouldn’t be greedy for Lennok who was right in front of him.

[If you have talent like yours you will be able to bloom on your own someday without anyone’s help. It seems like he already knows a bit about it.]

“……..”

[But I can make flowers bloom much more beautiful than you think. And please know that we do not give such help to just anyone or willy-nilly.]

After seeing Lennok’s expression Madame turned around with a satisfied look.

[Please don’t feel pressured and come visit the castle sometime.]

There were no further questions or answers.

It was only for a moment that Madame’s appearance disappeared from the spot.

Lennok let out a small sigh as he realized that she had jumped hundreds of meters and disappeared in just an instant thanks to his strong magical ability.

A vampire so powerful that it’s hard to believe that he works as a broker.

He is a power that cannot even be compared to Jude Russell whom he faced.

He seems to be a vampire who has been around for a very long time but I don’t understand why someone like that would enter this industry.

Her offer was quite attractive but Lennok did not make the mistake of naively believing her words.

Giving favors without anything in return on this floor was as fleeting as a flower blooming in the mud.

And Lennok had no idea that Madame was such a flower.

All you had to do was pass it off as an ordinary broker’s scout.

Lennok chewed another piece of tobacco and silently opened the blueprint and looked at the contents inside.

“…That’s what I meant.”

Did you say that the blueprint was different from the direction that Autoble was pursuing?

As soon as Lennok saw the blueprint he immediately understood what that meant.

On the inside of the paper was a very detailed drawing of a large two-wheel drive bike.

The essence of the new project being pursued by Autoble a famous automobile company was to expand its product line.

“It’s a bike…..”

Lennok who was looking down at the blueprint chuckled.

Isn’t this an item that is too difficult to begin with for Lennok who has no other means of transportation to covet it?

It wouldn’t have been a bad idea to get one if I had the chance later but it wasn’t something I would seriously think about right now.

‘I should at least refrain from doing so until I have a means or magic to safely escape from the vehicle.’

The more I think about it the more urgent research on movement magic becomes.

Recently as he had been dealing with a series of people who seemed to be close together in Lennok’s eyes it seemed necessary to take more measures to prepare for emergencies.

Preparation and prevention are never lacking no matter how excessive.

Lennok who was holding the steering wheel of a jeep whose front part had completely fallen off held a cigarette in his left hand and exhaled a long puff of smoke.

Buah!!

I step on the accelerator and quickly leave the vacant lot.

In the middle of the night after work was finished only a car with one wheel missing remained in the front yard of the abandoned building.
