    This is the bank I haven’t visited in a long time.

    As the money accumulated in the account now exceeds hundreds of millions the banker’s attitude towards him naturally changes.

    No matter what kind of work they do customers who deal with large sums of money are always a valuable source of funds for banks.

    Lennok was lost in thought after checking the amount remaining in his account.

    ‘The amount received from Panoa and the success fee for this project was slightly over 400 million won.’

    In the process of finding and moving to a new home I lost quite a bit of money but I made up for it when the money I took out of Cigar Bank’s safe began to be deposited into my account.

    ‘I’ve invested in improving my living environment to some extent so there’s no reason to save up a lump sum for the time being. ‘I’ll have to find something I can do with this money.’

    When this operation is over the money raised will likely easily exceed 500 million cells.

    Considering this huge city it wasn’t a lot of money but it certainly wasn’t a small amount of money either.

    At least the amount is enough for Lennok to get one chance in the field he wants.

    ‘Elixir or artifact… I need to find something useful.’

    If you ask Eveline Marcia for advice wouldn’t she be able to recommend a good product?

    Thinking like that Lennoc withdrew about 20 million cells put them in his pocket and left the bank.

    Ten million dollar bills. It was currency that even banks would not easily hand out under most circumstances but it was surprisingly easily withdrawn perhaps because of an intention to impress him.

    Anyway I needed cash so I’m glad I can get it so easily.

    Lennok caught a cheap taxi on the street and headed straight to District 31.

    The largest botanical garden located in the Balkan metropolis.

    At the same time this is where the ‘orchard’ operated by Plumber is located.

    Cash Burn It’s already been a few months since I last made a large purchase at the beginning of the year.

    There are still about ten left in hand but if we proceed with the operation with the agent we will run out quickly.

    As I began to suspect that I was slowly becoming resistant to Cashburn’s efficacy I needed to find a new medicine and stop by at least once.

    “Whoa….”

    Unlike the cold air of winter the air inside the botanical garden is warm and has a soft scent.

    There seemed to be an unusually large number of citizens as if they were taking their children to play in indoor facilities rather than spending the weekend outside in the cold.

    With only one man wearing a coat and a haggard expression standing in a place full of children and couples it was inevitable that he would stand out.

    “……..”

    Just as I was trying to quickly walk towards the orchard to avoid the pouring gaze.

    “What about class?”

    I heard a familiar voice from behind me.

    A slightly sagging yet sharp tone. At the same time the scenery of a dry plateau passes before my eyes.

    The moment he hears the voice Lennok’s synesthesia reacts as it pleases showing the scene of the moment he encountered the voice in many ways.

    The problem is that finding out the identity of the other person is not very pleasing to Lennok.

    I sighed and turned my head to see the familiar dark blue hair that still remained in my memory.

    A black leather jumper worn over a green tank top. A beautiful woman wearing baggy military boots and wide pants.

    “It’s been a while. “How have you been?”

    Mila walked towards me and waved as if she was happy to see me.

    A mercenary belonging to the Antares Office. Although we only worked together to catch pollutants in an undeveloped area it seems that she is already recognized as a close colleague in her mind.

    Lennok answered slightly avoiding her hand that was trying to tap his shoulder.

    “This is the first time since I saw it in an undeveloped area.”

    “yes. “I was too busy running around following the boss.”

    As Mila complained a playful smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

    “But while I wasn’t seeing you I heard you became a very famous person?”

    “……..”

    “I was surprised to hear your name suddenly coming up a lot recently. “I thought he was a good guy when I started working with him but I didn’t know that he was already working with companies to increase his wages.”

    “Well… various things happened.”

    There were many reasons for joining hands with Dyke but in the end it was clear that there was also an intention to increase Lennok’s reputation and value.

    If the name of the wizard Ban started to be heard in her ears who seemed completely uninterested in other people’s gaze there would be no need to mention the effect.

    While responding like that I took a quick look at Mila’s face but I couldn’t find any negative emotions such as jealousy or jealousy on her face.

    “Let’s work together at least later.” Dylan don’t just play with that bastard. “Is it okay for me to often go to the bar run by that rude woman?”

    However all that can be seen is the naive greed of wanting to get soybean food through an acquaintance whose status has risen significantly.

    Considering the people Lennok had met so far it didn’t seem that bad.

    She was about to reply while laughing but suddenly a huge shadow appeared behind her.

    “Mila. “Stop talking nonsense.”

    A large man with broad shoulders suddenly appeared from behind.

    He has a dignified look with all his short hair pushed behind his forehead bulging muscles and all kinds of tattoos engraved on both forearms.

    The unconventional fashion that shows both arms without hesitation is impressive even in this cold winter but what catches Lennok’s attention more than anything is the striking new head that resembles an eagle.

    Big eyes and a tightly closed bird beak. Since it is not a human face it is not easy to read the expression but it is enough to show that it has an honest disposition.

    While Lennok was at a loss for words Mila naturally continued speaking by touching his shoulder.

    “Felix now is not the time to save face? How many opportunities do you have to make personal connections with such a popular wizard? “It has to stick to you like a leech and eat the bean paste all the way down to the bone marrow…”

    Felix frowned at Mila’s harsh words and pressed her head with his hand.

    A hand the size of a pot lid instantly covered her entire head and even covered her fluttering mouth.

    He looked down at Lennok with a more relaxed expression and shook his hand with his other hand.

    “This is my first time seeing you. My name is Felix Allman. “I work in the same office as Mila.”

    “…It’s half. “He’s a wizard.”

    The size of the hands was so different that it didn’t look like they had shaken hands properly but Felix seemed satisfied.

    I couldn’t read his expression properly but I guess that’s probably the case.

    He was taken aback as it was his first time seeing a sub-human who had escaped human in this way since Kroken but Lennok quickly calmed his thoughts and began to use his magic power to gauge Felix’s level.

    If there is any know-how gained from rolling on this floor countless times it is that there are very few cases where the amount of magic power is proportional to combat ability.

    Not only magicians but also warriors who fight using their own bodies.

    Excluding really high-level wizards like Aris and Madrea Falseer Lennok has never been impressed by anyone else with the amount of magical power in this world.

    Even Beck Clinton’s magic power was similar to Lennok’s.

    What is important is not the size of the magic power but the speed at which the magic flows and the shape of the resolution that forms it.

    It takes a great deal of discernment to find out how innerly a completed superman one is.

    And Lennok was already making that insight his own little by little.

    ‘Slow and steady. Plus it’s very… dense.’

    The branches that make up the flow of magical energy are very finely divided and flow proudly around the body.

    If you compare that sense of stability it is in no way inferior to Beck Clinton’s.

    Even compared to the indifferent-looking giants among the freelance team members I met during this operation their level is different.

    Although he didn’t show any signs of strength on the outside it was clear that the man named Felix Allman was a very skilled fighter like Dylan and Mila.

    While Lennok was assessing his opponent Felix must have noticed him as well and spoke with his vocal cords vibrating.

    “It’s exactly as I heard.”

    “what?”

    “Apart from the room for skill growth the stance itself is already complete as a warrior. “It’s great.”

    “……..”

    It may be dismissed as nonsense but Felix’s words referring to him as a warrior are very impressive.

    Perhaps through this brief moment of encounter he had some sense of the fact that Lennok was not just a wizard.

    If you have a keen eye as sharp as those bright eyes it wouldn’t be impossible.

    orchard

    I was planning on laughing it off as a common pretense but Felix shook his head seriously.

    “Nobles or famous martial artists would probably react similarly. It’s not common to find such sharp yet stable magical power. “It would be good to know because it would be easy to win his favor.”

    Nobles and martial artists.

    A person who comes from a family blessed with innate special magic power or is a member of an organization where systematically established magic application techniques are shared and passed down.

    “Remember that. But I don’t think it will mean much.”

    Both groups have considerable social status in this city.

    Even if you are an aristocrat who was born noble it is difficult for a martial artist to belong to a martial arts group without natural talent.

    In fact I could think of it as being as rare as encountering a wizard belonging to the Magic Tower.

    Of course there were many talented people like Dylan and Mila who did not belong to those martial arts groups but no one knows how important it is to systematically hone one’s talents.

    However Felix immediately shook his head at Lennok’s words.

    “I haven’t met them yet but soon I will meet quite a few people. “Maybe one day if you keep rising like you are now.”

    “……..”

    “It seems like only yesterday that we started hearing about Dylan having a useful wizard and already there’s no one in our office who doesn’t know your name. “If you have that level of talent and judgment there will be a lot more places looking for you than there are now.”

    “Is this an offer to scout?”

    When Lennok asked that question Felix laughed as if it was absurd.

    “ha ha ha…!! If you had planned to come into our office you would have seen my face the day I first met Dylan. Skilled wizards are always welcome but… I’m not thick enough to stab you multiple times even after seeing your actions. “It’s impossible at least for me.”

    He said and looked down at Lennok and grinned.

    “But since you and Dylan seem to get along quite well I’m giving you some good advice. “If you like that guy at least he’s far from being a trash with bad character.”

    “…Thank you for the compliment.”

    “Dylan and Mila may have already told you but come visit the office later. Antares is curious about you.”

    Contrary to his first impression of being very harsh he speaks in a very coherent and logical manner.

    Are you the type of person who has as much in their head as their thoroughly trained body?

    It’s very different from the general image that comes to mind when you think of Sae-head.

    Considering that unlike the mercenaries from other offices he called Antares’ name without hesitation it seemed clear that he would not be an easy opponent.

    Lennoc who was watching Felix disappear along with Mila who was complaining about talking too much to herself stopped thinking and took a step back.

    Is it a coincidence that a mercenary from the mercenary office happens to be at the botanical garden at this time?

    Unless the two were enjoying a private date in a sunny area full of citizens their purpose for stopping by here would not be any different from Lennok’s.

    ‘It looks like the Antares office is also a customer of the orchard…’

    Is it a sale or a purchase?

    Lennok who had information that he could not immediately understand in a corner of his mind went straight down to the orchard.
