Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 124



Only Krnovel

Teyna Auction House (2)

It is natural that the color and texture of magical power differ depending on the object or individual’s inclination, but nevertheless, the changed magical power clearly crosses a certain line.

Magical power that has undergone a change in nature beyond a certain limit.

For Lennok, who had obtained the change in the nature of magical power, it was a sensation that was as clear as touching it.

Lennok looked down at the object that radiated courtesy magic, then grabbed a nearby pen and wrote a number underneath.

Jenny confirmed the identity of the object and gave a slightly surprised expression.

“half. You don’t need a lighter.”

A lighter the size of a finger that shines silver. Should I call it a torch that creates flames?

It is decorated with an antique gold frame and emits faint magic power, but it is not so much that it catches the eye.

Besides Lennok, there were a couple of other customers whose numbers were listed below, but they probably liked the design rather than appreciated the product.

However, Lennok was able to find a bit of truth in this faint magic.

Changes in the nature of magical power. It is also the magical power of fire refined in a very sophisticated way.

Probably, what comes out when you light this lighter is definitely not an ordinary flame.

‘Attribute series property change. Considering that the power of magic is stable like this, it’s probably… an item from the Mage Tower.’

You can probably trace the origin of this item by looking for a magic tower that handles flame-type magic.

However, Lennok was more interested in the magic contained in the lighter than in finding the magic tower.

‘If I study the change in the nature of magical power and dig it up in reverse, will I be able to get my hands on the flame-type unique magic?’

Fire-type magic is characterized by strong firepower and strong spreading power that covers a wide range, and is one of the most efficient type of magic in breaking and burning something.

In terms of so-called utility, which can be used in other ways, it is ambiguous to call it magic, but its unique powerful firepower is an attraction that wizards cannot give up.

It is not for nothing that the most preferred type of magician during warfare is this type of firepower.

Until now, I didn’t feel a great need for flame-type magic, so I didn’t study it deeply, but when the opportunity came, there was no reason to refuse it.

In a similar way, Lennok found objects that felt some kind of alien magic and submitted their numbers.

All the items on the 1st floor are going to be privately bid anyway, so you just have to write in a price that is moderately burdensome and take only the items you can reach.

Jenny, who was watching Lennok from the side, said with an absurd smile.

“Somehow, it seems like you’re enjoying the auction house better than I do.”

“You know when you can come back. You can get artifacts from an advantageous position.”

Unlike other customers, the VIP status allows transactions and bidding to be carried out anonymously, so it is possible for Lennok to comfortably obtain items he cares about without revealing anything special.

If it’s enough to be affected by Lennok’s magical power, it’s probably not an ordinary item.

If even one of these things could be an opportunity for proper magic research, that alone could be considered a sufficient benefit.

“It’s time. Let’s go to the third floor soon.”

At the point of coaxing Liam into bidding for a ticket to meet Yakseon, the predetermined goal had been reached, but it was only after the main auction on the third floor was completed that the price of the item that was bid on the first floor was entered.

Lennox agreed with Jenny’s opinion that it was better to visit the main auction and then go out after entering the auction house as a VIP.

The VIP room on the 3rd floor is a place where you can overlook the main auction going on on the 2nd floor at a glance.

In addition, it has the privilege of giving priority to VIPs in the event of competition at the same price, so it will not be easy for the VIPs who visit this place to miss the items they want.

Lennok shook his head lightly at the other patrons seated sparsely wearing the same concealed masks.

‘What magical power…’

As if proving the fact that no one can enter this place, the momentum that they exude is unusual.

Rather than simply having a vast amount of horse power, many of them show a unique feeling that is hard or sharp.

It was proof that they were not ordinary superhumans, but superhumans who constantly trained and trained their bodies.

Here, Jenny, who has a rather small amount of magical power, stands out on the contrary.

When Lennok and Jenny appeared with their arms crossed, the eyes of the others were immediately drawn to them, but they quickly faded.

It was possible because not only Jenny, but also Lennox was hiding some of his magic power.

Even Evelyn Marcia couldn’t figure out that Lennok was hiding his identity as a van, so unless Lennok reveals himself, it’s fair to say that his identity won’t be discovered.

The two of them searched for an appropriately secluded seat and picked out a chair.

As soon as I sat down, I used noise magic to prevent words from leaking out.

When I gave the signal to Jenny, her mouth started to open naturally.

“There was a story that the water was pretty good today, so a lot of famous people came.”

“…Does it recognize you even though you are wearing a mask?”

“then. If you’re not going to notice just by covering the top of your face, then you shouldn’t be a broker. Besides, VIPs wear masks because they want to hide their identity from the other people downstairs, but rather to show off to the people gathered here. Look Carefully.”

As Jenny said that, she pointed out the two men who were sitting in a line behind them out of sight.

“Two people over there. You don’t even bother to cover up the tattoos on your neck. It’s definitely a tattoo that can be covered if you choose the right outfit, but it’s showing off proudly. These are the Zhou brothers of the Six Harmonies. He’s known for being resourceful and skilled enough to keep the usury business intact in this city.”

After confirming the presence of the two, Lennok’s eyes sank deeply.

According to Jenny’s evaluation, the magic power emitted is very stable, and although she sits in a relaxed posture, there is no gap in her breathing.

A thoroughly trained warrior. I can only guess without having to check his skills.

If they were to face each other, how many minutes would they be able to kill?

If you think about it that way, it was not an easy opponent.

“The other side is the director of the Kraiburg Museum of Art. One of the famous illusionists. The woman standing against the wall over there is a war mercenary who has recently flowed into this city, and she seems to have decided on her destination yesterday after receiving dozens of love calls here and there.”

“The woman sitting alone on the left is a pianist famous enough to hold a solo concert in the city council hall. She has hundreds of thousands of fans, but she has a crazy hobby of collecting human bodies. Everyone in the know knows.”

“……”

Even though she was talking about people who had nothing to do with the two of them, Jenny knew how to pique the listener’s interest.

While generously telling the story of various personal connections and knowledge he has as a broker, he cuts off the boring line neatly and constantly changes the topic.

Thanks to this, while waiting for the auction to start, Lennok was able to know the identities of the VIPs sitting around him while listening to her story without getting bored.

All of them have their own business or belong to a well-known organization.

In the end, if you have more than a certain level of skills, there is no big advantage to remaining as a freelancer.

It is impossible to maintain a freelance life forever.

Someday Lennok will have to choose between starting a business under his own name or joining an organization.

Jenny’s words continued even while she was lost in thought.

“The one sitting at the far end of the line is… Ah, the Arashak Exploration Team. It’s a ruins exploration team that has made its name known by producing successive results over the past few years, but for several quarters of this year, there was not much performance. There were rumors that he was involved in a big conflict, but it’s been a while since he appeared in a place like this.”

The auction started while Jenny muttered while tilting her head slightly.

The host, who had been talking for a while on the podium, stepped aside and at the same time the first object appeared from behind the thick curtain.

[Then, from now on, we will start the PG-47 episode!! The first item I would like to introduce to you is the ‘Twilight Scale’!!]

[Originally, it was owned by a very prominent collector, but he decided to give it away just this once because he needed cash personally. Everyone knows what this means, right? The opportunity is only today.]

“……”

Lennok narrowed his eyes at the sight of the bronze scales swaying behind the host.

Although it is said to be a little far away, it is a colony of colorful magical powers that cannot be easily identified even with Lennok’s eyes.

In particular, the magical energy that raged on both sides of the scale was something that even Lennok had never seen before, and it was difficult to guess its nature.

Considering the characteristics of a scale, it is probably an object used to determine the value or concept of an object.

While I was thinking, the auction started.

“200 million cells.”

“300 million.”

“500 million.”

“850 million.”

The price jumps up in an instant at the voices heard here and there.

Jenny, who was sitting next to her, whispered in a low voice.

“It’s an item that’s open to the public at an auction, so I brought something pretty strong.”

“Do you know what that scale is?”

“It was owned by a famous art museum curator, and it was said that it was usually used to sort out fakes of art. The batting average was so good that many people coveted it, but the price will probably go up here.”

“You’re crazy…”

The scale, which had soared past 1 billion cells in an instant, fell into the hands of a middle-aged woman who fetched a price more than double the previous bid in the VIP seats on the 3rd floor.

Excited about the first item that was sold at a price that exceeded expectations, the moderator introduced the next item in succession, and customers who were heated up were eager to bid in succession.

A handmade pocket watch by an artisan that is said to have been discontinued. An ancient history book with more than half of the pages torn out.

Even an artifact containing a space-related technique that was hard to see even when I was doing freelance work like that.

Unable to bear it, Lenok also participated in the auction, but he was sold out at the price soaring in an instant.

“Kuh…”

Beside Lennok, who was drooling, Jenny shook her head with a puzzled look.

“If you want to buy something like that, you have to be determined, raise funds, and plan thoroughly. Otherwise, the rich people gathered here will snatch it away like this.”

“……”

After all this far, nothing comes easy in Lennok’s hands.

The flow of funds from the megalopolis of Balkan reaches an astronomical scale, but Lennok has yet to properly ride on the flow.

It cannot be solved simply by working hard on freelance work.

A new alternative was needed in a more fundamental part.

While Lennok was in trouble, the auction, which had been heating up before anyone knew it, was running toward its climax.

[I’ve been waiting for a long time!! Today at this auction house, I will introduce you to the most valuable item right now…!!]

The moderator’s voice trembles with excitement, and the others sitting in the VIP seats begin to talk among themselves one by one.

Lennok also tilted his head slightly at the scent of magic that flowed from behind the host, behind the blackout curtain.

‘White… Is it a healing-type spell? It’s a very unfamiliar feeling… It’s sophisticated enough to exclaim. It’s more like a personality change…”

Like, if you hit the magnetic field as it is into the artifact, wouldn’t it emit this kind of energy?

That was tantamount to saying that the object to be shown now was a piece comparable to a level 6 or higher wizard by Lennok’s standards.

The curtains were wide open, and a dazzling white light hit everyone’s eyes relentlessly.

The emcee’s excited voice resounded loudly to all the guests of the auction house who lost their sight for a moment.

[An ancient artifact that was the symbol of Irina Pesfield, the leader of the Arashak Ruins Exploration Corps, ‘The Archangel’s Compassion’!!]

Right after that, a pure white staff the size of a forearm appeared in front of everyone.

A pair of white wings floating in the air on both sides of the holy white aura.

Not an illusion, but real, soft wings flapping slowly, holding up the staff loftily.

It is clear that it is an unusual artifact just by its appearance, but the magical power emitted by the iridescent jewel embedded in the tip of the staff refines the beauty of such an artifact to the limit.

Among the artifacts that Lennok has seen so far, it is the best. Even in this auction house, by far the most valuable items were clearly visible.
