Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 412

Unemployed (2)
-A message has been delivered through Achilles headquarters.
Panoa’s calm voice came from the other end of the phone.
-It’s just as Ban said. I had no idea that they would actually deliver the message directly.
“Because Madrich himself declared so.”
-They must know that sending a message like this in itself means leaving behind evidence against them… It looks like they really have complete control over Achilles.
Now that the conflict between the two companies is at a stalemate the fact that Achilles is sending a message is in itself an act of officially acknowledging that it has worked together with Madchiri.
It was no wonder that Panoa was surprised by the reaction of those people who took such risks to convey the message.
Lennok answered resting the receiver on one shoulder and moving his hand ceaselessly.
“Because you knew from the moment you participated in the project that you couldn’t turn back. “I guess there’s no need to hide it since people here have noticed.”
-…As a security company Achilles is an organization famous for its rigid decision-making regardless of its technical capabilities. How can such people change so much with the presence of Madric…
Did the movements of those who overturn their existing stances overnight feel so unfamiliar to Panoa?
Since she thought she knew well about the competitors operating in Yangji the blow to being caught in the loop like this would have been even greater.
Lennok could understand Panoa’s feelings to some extent so he responded accordingly.
“He has been active since the time when prohibition laws did not exist. “It shouldn’t be surprising that Achilles’ judgment changed to become more rational.”
-….
“Their actions immediately after the ordinance was lifted were abnormally agile but they did not move too late. So what was the message they gave me?”
-This is the address of the building in the central area and the appointment time. It says about a week from now.
“It’s late.”
Lennok suddenly shook his head.
“Just in case I’m planning to drag this place around using the project as bait. “If you agree to this you will be cooperating with them until they complete a new project.”
-It is true that many of your options disappeared when you contacted Madrich Onion himself. However if we continue the war with Achilles in the current situation…
The proportion of Dyck and Achilles’ respective businesses is at a level that is difficult to replace with another company or company and if this continues there is a high possibility that the city government will force arbitration before one of the two collapses.
It is said that victory can be achieved with a very high probability only in the operation in which Lennok participates but can continuing a local war of attrition be the answer when the secret production facility has already been hijacked?
The more time passes and the city government adjusts the more advantageous it is for Achilles.
“The way to untie a complex knot is not necessarily through the straight method.”

Lennok said that and slightly looked away.
“We are now moving to find that shortcut.”
-…All right.
After finishing his short phone call with Panoa Lennok shook off his muddy hands and put his cell phone in his pocket.
“So are you feeling a little better now?”
“…yet.”
A slightly subdued voice came from behind the workbench where Lennok was standing.
A spacious vegetable garden spread out inside a huge greenhouse.
Meanwhile Evelyn who was crouching down and pulling out carrots one by one glanced at Lennok and muttered.
“If I just help a little more with organizing the garden it might work out.”
“Actually I felt a bit of responsibility before I came here…”
As Lennok said that he looked up at the ceiling of the magnificent greenhouse stretching above his head.
The sight of vast mounds of dirt stretching far beneath your feet and strangely shaped plants growing everywhere.
When was the last time I created and tended such a huge vegetable garden while I was busy with my work as an agent and guardian?
Lennok muttered as he cleaned the carrot roots piled up on the workbench.
“I think I’m becoming more and more convinced by the agent’s decision.”
“That can’t be possible…!”
Evelyn shouted lowly.
“This is just a hobby!”
“Even if you say so.”
As Lennok answered Evelyn he thought about all the things she had done so far.
Agent’s bow. Let’s look at the blue eyes. Owner of a vegetable store in a local market.
Lennok who had been imagining her life of actually working three jobs tilted her head to one side.
“Honestly you lasted quite a while longer than you think…?”
“no!!”
Lennok chuckled as he looked at the black bob shaking his head denying reality.
“It’s a joke. “There’s no way you’d be fired as an agent just for something like that.”
Throw the cleaned carrots into the basket behind the workbench.
At the back of the garden neatly trimmed vegetables were already piled up like a mountain waiting to be transported.
“The ordinance has been lifted and other special agencies can now intervene in shadowy affairs. “At this point would it be too much of a stretch to imagine that the ace of the field response team was suspended under an appropriate justification in order to keep the agent in check?”
“….”
“Staying in the North Continent longer than the planned vacation would have been a good excuse and it was also an appropriate political move to keep the agent in check and take away his power. Actually when I think about it I feel a little responsible…”
“I also took into account disciplinary matters to some extent.”
Evelyn said with her mouth pouting.
“But the director arbitrarily intervened and raised the level of my disciplinary action so I ended up unemployed…”
Evelyn muttered miserably and nibbled on a carrot that had just been dusted.
Lennok who was looking at her holding a carrot with both hands like a rabbit and munching on it shook his head and turned around.

“So now I’m just a vegetable seller.”
“…no!”
“I was growing such a huge garden with the money I earned from working as an agent. The problem was that I prepared for life after retirement too quickly.”
“Are you going to keep saying that?”
It’s true that Evelyn’s outburst and denial was much more interesting than I thought so the story went on for a long time.
Since I’ve teased him enough I should appease him enough and get to the point.
Lennok thought so and changed his tone slightly to a softer tone.
“Well as I said I will be able to return soon. “No organization would want to miss out on an archer like you.”
“…is that also true?”
“To be honest Evelyn the initiative in the relationship between you and the agent is not actually yours.”
Eveline Marcia is an outstanding superhuman.
Regardless of the level of high hierarchy and strong military power he is capable of doing his part in any situation and is a strong person who stands at an unrivaled level in his own field of expertise.
There are countless people even in the shadows who admire her personality which possesses a sense of duty and responsibility commensurate with her outstanding skills.
If she really plans to leave public office it wouldn’t be surprising if there was a struggle between organizations to recruit Evelyn.
No matter how much the agent director had no attachment to the organization he was in charge of no sane person would have treated a talent like her in vain.
“It was nominally a dismissal and it was probably a severe punishment close to suspension. “It’s just for show so don’t worry too much.”
“That may be true but….”
“If it doesn’t work out let’s start a new life as a freelancer in District 49. “If I take you with me we can bet how many flips Jenny will do.”
“Ahaha what is that?”
The sight of Evelyn smiling helplessly. It’s not like she doesn’t understand the situation she’s going through.
In particular there was no way that Deputy Director Falad Okon who had worked with her for a long time would not have explained this situation.
However in a situation where Evelyn is being checked by other special agencies it is inevitable that she will feel disappointed by the agent over this disposition.
Because I guessed that she wanted to hear meaningless consolation rather than clear analysis or solutions.
Lennok responded by throwing her a properly prepared carrot.
“Whew… It’s not that I don’t want to see that prickly woman doing somersaults but I’ll still refuse.”
Evelyn let out a small sigh and stood up looking slightly refreshed.
“You can’t ask a broker who doesn’t seem to have anything to do with sports to do unreasonable work.”
“It’s a pity that Jenny doesn’t appreciate your careful consideration.”
“good. “Then shall we talk about work?”
Wow!!
As Evelyn lightly stamps her feet a green wave centered around her lightly shakes the dirt floor in the area.
At the same time vegetables that had been deeply buried in the field began to pop out slightly making them easy to pull out.
“Madrich Onion. “Is that why you contacted me?”
After quickly finishing harvesting the vegetables buried in the gardens around the area she wiped her forehead with her gloved hand and asked.
“Do you want to know where he lives?”
“The longer it takes the more likely it is that the situation will become complicated.”
Even after being fired as an agent did he still hear about everything that happened in the city?
Lennok who thought there was no need to talk further nodded.
“If the city council starts to intervene in this matter it will be difficult for me to move. “I want to get things done quickly before that happens.”
“I heard that Dyke and the Cartel are joining forces to fight Achilles. “If attention is drawn to the conflict between the dark and the bright things will become complicated…”
“This was originally the intended composition but the story changed as Madric himself moved faster than expected.”
Lennok said clearing his workbench and reaching for a basket of vegetables piled at the back of the garden.
“The intention to waste time is too blatant. “I would rather go out and find him myself than be dragged into their tricks.”
“…Mr. Onion is someone who has never appeared in person in the decades that he served as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.”
Evelyn said with a slightly troubled look.
“I guess he knows that too so he’s trying to lure you in by using a conversation with him as bait.”
“The location has been secured. “All that’s left is confirmation.”
“…what? “How on earth?”
If you find Madrich’s true body and confront him he too will react in some way.
It is almost the only way to reach the goal and set aside the problems of this increasingly complex situation.
Lennok knew that cutting the intricate knots might not be the best method but it might be the next best thing.
“The problem is that the location is outside a large city and in a completely unexpected environment… I would like to hear an expert’s opinion.”
“Where on earth are the coordinates you obtained?”
“It’s the sea.”
Lennok answered.
“A coastal area located in the southeast of an undeveloped area. They say it was once a sea area belonging to Balkan territory and a place where the naval forces directly under the city government which are now all disbanded were located.”
“…Navy power?”
Lennok asked slowly looking at Evelyn who looked a little confused.
“Can you confirm if there are any closed military facilities near these waters that are not recorded on the city map?”
* * *
Shake off the dirt mixed with the harvested vegetables organize the fine roots and set aside any items that seem unusable.
A view arranged beautifully at a glance on a mountain-like pile of baskets. Lennok raised his hand again.
Churrrrrrrr!!
In response to hand gestures several strands of magic thread move gracefully continuously shaking off the dirt from the vegetables organizing them and sorting them.
A tall tower was built between the baskets exquisitely balanced according to the shape and size of various vegetables.
While piles of neatly sorted vegetables were being moved onto several large carts Evelyn who was busy talking on the phone approached Lennok.
“I found someone who could guide the class.”
“Does this person know the exact location?”
“He works in the agent security department and is a former Navy veteran who works directly under the city government. “Even if you don’t know the exact location you will be familiar with the terrain so it will be helpful.”
Evelin said after hanging up the phone and starting to write a message.
“I spoke to the deputy director and decided to replace his promotion exam with this information service. “I’ll do my best… but are you sure you don’t mind if I don’t come with you?”
Evelyn looked up at Lennok with a sharp gaze.
“The magic power is too unstable. The new magic system you told me about back then. “Isn’t it finished yet?”
“…yes.”
Lennok nodded with a wry smile.
“But that’s not because my research is lacking but because the things I need to capture have increased in the meantime.”
The problem is not that there is a lack of power but that it overflows too much.
After deciding to create a new magic system Lennok gained more than one new ability.
Not only did he begin research on Oliveira and the Mystic Eye but he also improved his understanding of the imaginary dimension through a battle with the 3rd Commander Ayun and gained an understanding of martial arts after meeting Madrich.
As he clashed with Graham who was the head of the Achilles technical team and replaced and refined the partial development of the magnetic field and the magic defense system the power that Lennoc had to store in the vessel continued to increase.
Is it Lennok’s greed to reorganize all the power and order that increases day by day under one law?
However it is also true that there is a conviction that only determination with such will and arrogance can overcome hierarchy.
“If it is a matter of process and not results it is not difficult to ultimately decide where to focus. However it is also true that we are delaying the answer.”
Lennok said grabbing the cart handle and slowly starting to push it forward.
Squeak!!
At the same time other carts connected by magic threads move in unison and exit the vast greenhouse in unison.
“Once you meet a magician of that caliber you will be able to at least come to some kind of conclusion about the magic system.”
This is the path to meet the fully completed level 8 ultimate power.
If Madrich himself did not intend it there is a high possibility that the visit would be no different from an uninvited guest.
However even if the conversation ended in battle Lennok guessed that he would have learned a lot from that alone.
“It’s too dangerous. “If I go with you we can at least take care of things…”
“Your suspension is the result of a power struggle between the agent and other special agencies.”
Lennok cut her off and said:
“At this point if the circumstances surrounding Madric’s affairs are discovered he may not be able to return to his job as an agent.”
“I know that but….”
Apart from receiving her help Lennok had no intention of harming Evelyn’s work or daily life.
That is not the trust and cooperation that Lennok and Evelyn implicitly agreed upon and exchanged.
I don’t want to make the rash decision to help Lennok when I still feel like I owe her something.
In the long run it would be mutually beneficial for her to remain as an agent.
She sighed softly perhaps understanding what Lennok was saying then gently lifted her phone and said.
“The selection process is over. When are you going to do it?”
“Now that we have secured Madrich’s position there will be no need to wait too long. “I plan to check and move as quickly as possible to see if the coordinates I found are accurate.”
The most important thing is to learn about the inside story of the project and follow Alkaid’s traces.
And the goal is to buy time to sort out the situation between Dyke and the cartel as quickly as possible.
Considering that Madrich had a week to spare he would have to finish the chase faster than that and find the military magician to crush his purpose.
Hearing the truth about the project came next.
“Tomorrow evening. “Tell me to meet you at Area 57 which is closest to the undeveloped coast.”
Lennok said that and smiled at Evelyn.
“I also need some time to prepare one last time.”
“preparation?”
“I learned how to do fun things after experiencing various things recently.”
Time and place Equipment and supplies Alibi and circumstantial evidence.
All that remains is for Lennok to gather his strength and go see Madrich.
Before heading to the sea area where Madrich’s military orders were gathered Lennok was planning to try his hand at magic that manipulates space one last time.
If I combined the newly acquired skills so far it might be possible to provide a clue to combat mobility which had been a problem for a long time.
