    About things that have changed (1)

    A former Supreme Court Chief Justice and a great level 8 martial arts wizard.

    The funeral of Madrich Onion who had contributed to order in many places since the early days of the metropolis was indeed held in a grand manner.

    A public official who left the military city to work in the Balkans and devoted himself to the city for a long time.

    Although he ultimately passed away in an unfortunate accident while attempting a policy that went against the city government’s policy of establishing a control organization to replace the laws.

    Is there anything wrong with commemorating and honoring the spirits of those who have already died?

    Since Madrich Onion left behind no family or blood ties during his lifetime there were no obstacles to organizing his legacy and recognizing his contributions.

    The fact that he brought live sacrifices to the collapsed naval base outside the city and used them as military orders.

    In the meantime he had a decisive battle with Lennok and was defeated and destroyed.

    That he lived and died without hesitation for his own ideals until the last moment.

    The citizens who stand in the middle of the downtown area and commemorate the death do not know.

    A large photo of Madric in official uniform passes by in the middle of the road in a limousine.

    Even the ceremonial vehicles and police officers escorting both sides of the limousine.

    Lennok was out on the street with a bare face looking at the scene in silence.

    “….”

    Come to think of it it’s been quite a while since I’ve been walking around the streets with a bare face like this.

    As I awkwardly stroked his rough chin I naturally thought of the one person who knew Lennok’s true identity.

    What would Aris say if she were here?

    Almost two months have already passed since she said she had to return to the Magic Tower.

    It’s time to go on a sabbatical year at Labatenon University and there’s no telling when you’ll return.

    Was it really the right choice not to ask her why at that time?

    Even though he possesses the reason and judgment of a perfect wizard he always looks back on the past and hesitates.

    I always promise not to leave any regrets but it’s easier said than done.

    At least when he occasionally had deep interactions with others Lennok would always look back to see if the moment was right.

    Evelyn Jindun Lapis and even the monsters of Pandemonium.

    There is another unforgettable relationship that must not be forgotten.

    Lennok watched Madrich Onion’s funeral procession disappear across the street for a while and then left.

    Carol music echoing throughout the streets. People congratulating each other as the end of the year approaches.

    [I hope next year will be filled with better things than this year.]

    [Happy New Year!]

    Even as he walks through countless crowds of people Lennok’s face naturally changes to Van’s.

    The face appearance clothing and all the elements that stimulate the five senses as well as the magical power pattern that makes up the wizard’s personality.

    Even changing one’s status which used to take extreme care in deciding the time and place is now as free as breathing.

    It is not simply because of a vague confidence that the series of disguises will not be discovered by others.

    The more Lennok’s power surpasses the hierarchy the more he fills it with content commensurate with his talent. As your self-doubts begin to transform into confidence.

    This was because the fear of being discovered was fading away.

    Past the time of discussing an uncertain future with only possibilities with no known limits beyond the memories of being afraid of someone who would recognize the vessel and covet Lennok’s talent.

    Lennok is also clearly aware that he is perfecting himself and going beyond that level.

    Even if by chance someone finds out and understands what Lennoc really is through his appearance now.

    Lennok was simultaneously gaining the strength and qualifications to endure the truth and secret being revealed.

    “….”

    When he changes his appearance to Ban’s face and goes to the outskirts he feels that the way people look at him has changed again.

    Madrich Onion’s death has not been officially investigated and has not been investigated further but rumors related to him are still floating around the streets.

    Fast who was nominated by Oliveira Ron Mays defeated Madrich Onion.

    Dyke and Kartel joined hands to take down Achilles.

    In the process rumors were spreading throughout the streets that Ban’s military power had reached the limit of the sky.

    ‘As expected… it doesn’t work out the way I thought.’

    There is no longer any hatred or jealousy in the way I look at Lennok.

    Because there’s no fool who doesn’t know that the rumors circulating around here aren’t just nonsense.

    Wonder and awe or incomprehension and fear as if looking at a completely incomprehensible monster or genius.

    People in the shadows who avoid their gaze unable to hide or openly reveal such emotions.

    That awkward attitude as if he was looking at someone who shouldn’t be here shows what kind of status Lennok had on this street.

    Every time you take a step forward the others slowly step back as the collar of your coat shakes.

    People were afraid and wary of the sight of him limping unable to escape the aftereffects of his injuries.

    Even that shaky gesture was truly proof that he had fought and survived against Madrich Onion.

    Fluffy!

    As I opened the door to the bar and went down the stairs Jenny turned her head and smiled awkwardly.

    “Ah half….”

    Of course her awkwardness was not due to Lennok’s changed status.

    “While you were away I received calls from many places. Among them… there are some that are difficult to refuse. “I think I need to get confirmation first.”

    “What’s going on?”

    Lennok asked lowering his head as he took the glass of alcohol handed to him by Zordon.

    Jenny lowered her head slightly and said.

    “I’ve been contacted by several magic towers probably because of rumors about Madrich Onion.”

    “…The Magic Tower?”

    Since Lennok began to gain fame in the outskirts of the megacity he has not had many connections with the Magic Tower.

    Unless you meet someone from the Magic Tower or receive a nomination request like an agent how can you possibly encounter academia in Yangji?

    So even after I started building a reputation as a freelancer and started getting involved with big names in the shadows I never paid much attention to it.

    Jenny probably doesn’t have much experience receiving contact from the Magic Tower in this way either. Her slightly awkward attitude proved it.

    As if he had finally realized that Lennok was a real wizard.

    “Actually there wasn’t a proper conversation but I can get a general feeling. “Everyone wants to see if you really… um… that.”

    “That?”

    Jenny rolled her eyes bit her lip slightly and spoke.

    “That… the highest ranking wizard. “It’s a bit strange to say this but… I think he wants to know if you’ve reached level 8.”

    “….”

    “Oh of course I’m not asking you to tell me that now. “Because it is an extremely personal area and privacy.”

    Jenny waved both hands in front of Lennok’s calm face.

    “What should I say… just know this first. I think I’ll probably keep getting contacted about similar things. “Anyway as I am your broker I need an appropriate answer… This is it.”

    Lennok laughed.

    “There is no need to come out so carefully. “Because I know roughly what the situation is like.”

    “Is that so?”

    “It’s just one number but that means there are a lot of people who attach meaning to it….”

    I lean back in my chair clink my glass and get lost in thought.

    It was not difficult to understand the meaning of the recent fight in which he won against a level 8 super-talented person in the name of his class which had such a big impact.

    A person with divine power who has completed the seven stages of self-transformation is a monster and a superhuman who can lead an organization anywhere on the continent.

    However the level 8 giants beyond that hierarchy cannot be considered as human beings.

    Is there anyone who would take the risk of completely throwing away the seven hierarchies that have been built up over a lifetime?

    However for that reason it is natural for a level 8 archmage to be treated as a strongman and giant in the history of the continent.

    Even in this huge city where tens of millions of people live and in the many magic towers that are indifferent to wizards who are not of their faction.

    The birth of a new archmage is nothing short of proof that it is such a rare and rare event.

    No even if it doesn’t it doesn’t matter.

    It was obvious how many people would want a wizard who had proven to have comparable power even though he had not yet reached level 8.

    After thinking Lennok stood up.

    “I have no intention of changing the standards. “Tell it like that.”

    “You only accept nominations but the rewards and themes are space-time techniques and artifacts right?”

    It is true that for a brief moment I thought I might be able to use this opportunity to hear news from Aris.

    But Lennok already knew that even if they relayed news like that it wouldn’t mean much.

    In the end there is no great gain in acknowledging that Lennok has achieved power comparable to level 8 in this way.

    The number of people demanding responsibility commensurate with such power will only increase.

    There was no need for Lennok himself to answer and acknowledge such matters first at a time when he could not be said to have fully reached the top yet.

    The important thing was to reorganize all the power and order swirling inside him in the direction he had originally thought.

    “For now I have given you an answer in a way that maintains my previous attitude but should I contact you again?”

    “no.”

    Lennok who had finished the rest of his drink turned his head.

    “I will speak directly.”

    Phew….!!

    At that moment Lennok’s body disappeared on the spot and appeared behind the spacious bar.

    Lennok who was sitting casually among the people who were in the middle of bargaining over goods on a soft sofa bent at a right angle under the dim lighting leaned back and said

    “I’m sure you’ve heard what’s going on so I’ll end it briefly.”

    “…Hey what are you doing interfering with our deal?”

    “We’re talking about something important so get out.”

    The two men were not at all intimidated by Lennok and instead showed their teeth.

    Looking at them Lennok smiled.

    “Right before I came in I cast a recognition-blocking spell on others. “Your wit is commendable for noticing that and pretending not to know me.”

    “What kind of bullshit are you talking about…”

    “But you two were the only ones who didn’t stop talking the moment I walked into the bar. “The customers who come here are quite sensitive so they tend to pay attention even for a moment when a new face comes in.”

    “….”

    The two men immediately shut their mouths after saying that.

    The dirty hostility in their eyes disappeared as if it had been washed away and only a calm and intelligent glow shone through.

    “It’s the Torburn Magic Tower right? This is my first time seeing it in person. “Please convey the message to other magic towers on my behalf.”

    Lennok ignored that reaction picked up the bottle of alcohol on the table poured it into their glasses and said

    “I have no intention of getting involved in the Magic Tower’s messy war business. Stepping into the battle line will be entirely a matter of my own judgment. Do you understand?”

    Thorburn Magic Tower that studies unique lightning magic.

    Wasn’t this also where Eden the boss of the Cigar Bang gang who first made Lennok realize the existence of unique magic was from here?

    One of the groups of magicians who are most actively engaged in war projects using their military force and knowledge.

    On the surface they were being calm in the name of learning and intellectual exploration but Lennok was well aware of the fact that they were no different from the Spell Alliance which advanced directly to the central front and focused on fighting for power.

    Wasn’t the Blaver Magic Tower that I visited a while ago also where the tower owner himself went to the front lines and was engaged in an endless battle?

    Even if you haven’t paid much attention to it until now thinking it’s a power you don’t need to worry about if its power is comparable to the highest level you definitely need to check it out and move on.

    People from the Magic Tower who thought so had already come to the city to check Lennok’s face in person.

    “…I heard you’re not an arrogant genius who just believes in your talent and runs wild but you exceeded my expectations.”

    The man who had been threatening Lennok just a moment ago changed his expression completely in an instant.

    “There is no way a wizard who climbed up from such a rough city could be an ordinary monk.”

    “….”

    “The tower owner told me to persuade him somehow and make an appointment but I think differently. Rather I tend to agree with what he said.”

    The man who finished the drink that Lennok had poured for him laughed.

    “It is as you said. Even if a talented Shinsung participated in the Central Front at a time like this it would be difficult to gain meaning… The front is truly chaos right now.”

    “I see.”

    “When several of the church’s apostles began to intervene the battle line became very chaotic. Instead of ending up as a powerful superhuman he turns into a monster and goes on a rampage… Thanks to this attempts to pierce the veil are slowing down.”

    “….”

    Guido is an apostle of the church.

    Lennok once checked how the monsters that worship the end of the open sea as gods and receive and use its power turn into in the end.

    Just like Walter Martinez did monsters tens of meters across the battlefield will rampage turning the entire terrain upside down and causing people to die.

    However I did not expect to hear directly from the officials that the situation on the central front was difficult.

    “Originally I would have hidden this story and tried to persuade him with pleasant words… but there would be no need to resort to useless tactics against a man like you.”

    “Has the calculation already been completed in the meantime?”

    “If it’s difficult to persuade shouldn’t we at least show off? “I just made a wise decision.”

    The man who shrugged said patting the shoulder of his colleague sitting next to him.

    “Now that we know that there is little chance of falling for the appeasement of another magic tower it is our turn to try to impress them. Let’s take it easy.”

    Lennok also chuckled at the extremely honest sentiment.

    “They say you’re good at war business but the speed at which your mind works isn’t bad. “I like that it’s honest.”

    “good. “That’s enough.”

    The man who was looking wistfully at the bottle that still had alcohol left in it answered.

    “But organizations other than the Magic Tower don’t think much differently. “You know?”

    “….”

    “You brought this upon yourself. Because it was proven. A wizard who has already built up a force comparable to the highest level. Rather the fact that the state is unknown is more attractive.”

    The man continued speaking as he looked at Lennok who had his arms crossed and his head down.

    “There are probably many people who cannot accept that such power is freely roaming around without any restraints. There are probably many people who would like to have one. “I don’t know how you’ve managed your reputation so far but…”

    “I know.”

    “You know?”

    Lennok nodded.

    “If I hadn’t thought about that I wouldn’t have started working. “It’s just that we need to raise this name as high as possible even if it means going through all the trouble.”

    Only now do I know why this happened.

    The countless things Lennok has done so far have not been done simply in the name of Van and this may be because Lennok has thoroughly controlled his own reputation and status.

    This is possible because throughout the entire process we have carefully adjusted the street reputation and class evaluation with Jenny’s help.

    Weren’t the series of events that occurred in the Hanghasa Labyrinth also decorated and disguised in the name of Evan not Ban?

    From then on I was vaguely aware that I possessed power comparable to that of level 8 but it was only now that this fact was revealed in the name of my class.

    Ultimately they understood that equivalent proof was needed to access the most intimate secrets hidden by the project and the city council.

    Dealing with Madrich Onion and thoroughly digging into his foundation was only the beginning.

    You must uncover Alkaid’s secrets even if it means going against the city council that rules this city.

    In the end if you don’t understand what the name means you won’t be able to move forward from the empty echo of no next time.

    In response to Lennok’s unwavering response the man was silent for a moment and then nodded.

    “You said something for no reason… You probably know a lot more about this than I do.”

    “Thank you for the advice.”

    “good. Well then let’s go. “I had a good drink.”

    The man said that and was about to turn his back when he took something out of his arms as if he had suddenly remembered something.

    “Oh I don’t know. This is a list of magic towers that have been contacted through us. “It would be good to know who is interested in you.”

    “….”

    Lennok took the list without thinking looked down and then stopped.

    [Sinclair Magic Tower Council of Elders 3 seats]

    [Clarice Richelen]

    The names of the magic tower and castle that were more familiar to him were coming into view.
