Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 219

Negotiation (4)

“… … .”

“The fact that you, who had been living in seclusion, stepped forward on your own, means that someone has been decided to take care of this issue, right?”

Girard was calm, not intimidated by the look on Virgil’s face.

He already fully understood his situation.

Even what will happen in the future.

“This is so… … Isn’t that magician’s head too good? I was just going to pass the time by leaking information in moderation, but I didn’t know there was a traitor inside the organization and would use it for a trade in reverse… … If I had known this was going to happen, I would not have said anything at all in the first place.”

“Stop acting nonsensical. Even if you don’t make a fuss like that, you know everything.”

Virgil laughed.

Red eyes flashed through the sunglasses.

“It wasn’t until after you dealt with Ban that you recognized that you were on the wrong line and immediately changed routes. Did your superiors predict that the damage would be much greater than they thought, and that the liability would spread all the way down?”

“… … .”

“Your predictions were not wrong. The subordinate unit led by Executive Director Avid Lowell was destroyed by a single person… … The man doesn’t just fight well. As a wizard, he understands better than anyone what it means to kill people.”

“… … Ha ha ha ha ha!!”

Girard, who had been staring at Virgil’s face, suddenly burst into laughter.

In an instant, vitality returns to the blank expression, and the two eyes are filled with joy.

Girard, who had regained his original madness to the point where the appearance he had shown so far, laughed heartily to the extent that his throat was visible.

Girard looked up at Virgil with shiny eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.

“Everyone is so smart. Well, it’s me who’s comfortable with words, but… … Are you going to go around making fun of your mouth because you’re scared of this?”

“… … .”

“Well, if you know that far, there is only one thing to say.”

Girard asked.

“Will you save me?”

To put it bluntly, from the moment Van captured him alive, Girard’s life was as if it had ceased to exist.

However, the fact that I was able to return to the cartel with my life somehow preserved in the rapidly changing situation day by day,

That’s because Girard took good care of his surroundings and acted quickly.

“He’s a funny guy. Even a finely insane person like you needs at least one… … ”

Virgil laughed.

“According to my standards, it passed, but… … I need to get a confirmation before that.”

“What confirmation?”

“I mean that I will fully cooperate in catching the traitor who betrayed you.”

With those words, the red eyes sank coldly, and the sharp killing force mercilessly suppressed Girard’s essence.

“Conclusive evidence that your immediate superior, 1st President McQueen, betrayed the cartel and colluded with the Ten Counts… … . If you were managing a partner business in the 40th District, you would all remember it, right?”

Even if you don’t want to believe it, all the circumstantial evidence so far points to just one person.

He is a founding contributor with the founding of Cartel, and the oldest and first president among the four presidents.

An elder among the elders who holds the position of vice-president, acting as the vice-president who acts on behalf of the president in the absence of the president, and at the same time has the authority to directly supervise the cartel’s elite armed forces.

The man who served the chairman and devoted allegiance to him for longer than anyone else betrayed the organization and turned his back on him.

You dare to mess with the wizard class and cause confusion

Indeed, while the attention was focused on the adversary who appeared after a long time, the internal slush fund was stolen.

He actively tried to rectify things by moving the directors under him, including Girard.

In the end, the only person who tried to erase all traces and cover his mistakes.

“That’s what I meant when I set out to fix things… … McQueen, I won’t let you go.”

Virgil’s eyes were sunglasses and shone eerily from beyond.

Seeing that, Girard silently shrugged his shoulders.

“It is not difficult. So, would you please release this restraint soon? I think my joints will rot after being tied up here and there for more than a week.”

“… … .”

“… … Virgil?”

“For now, the conditions for acceptance that I have thought of end here.”

Saying so, Virgil grabbed Girard’s handcuffs and started walking down the long hallway.

“I’ll have to listen to what the president thinks.”

As soon as he heard those words, Girard’s complexion changed completely.

The footsteps that had been obediently following Virgil came to a halt.

“Sashimi, sashimi, you mean the president?”

“okay. The president wants to see you in person.”

“Now, wait a minute… … . There was no such story. Why did I suddenly see the president… … .”

“A traitor within the organization. It is also a matter of determining the disposition of the ringleader.”

Virgil replied, dragging Girard along without looking back.

“Even if the ringleader is McQueen, wouldn’t it be strange that the president returns after a long outing?”

“Later, see you later… … . You won’t even remember my face, so why are you looking at me… … .”

Virgil sneered at the sight of Girard, who risked his life as collateral to come back alive.

“It’s useless, so let’s go in and talk. The president is waiting for you.”

Only then did Girard realize what was at the end of this wide and long hallway and struggled, but it was too late.

A majestic arched gate, like a castle gate, appeared in front of the two of them.

The door made of thick stone was carved with all sorts of metaphysical shapes.

The aesthetic sense of choosing each piece is not the depth that can be understood by the level of a criminal.

A monster that has lived hundreds of years in a sitting position.

An old monster that has reigned over Balkan’s shadow for decades in this huge city.

The office of the cartel’s chairman, Oliveira Ron Maze, was in front of Girard’s eyes.

There was no need to knock on the door.

The moment she recognized the existence of the two, Virgil and Girard were inside her heart.

A tomb of books that has not been opened for decades and is piled with dust, and a golden staircase that rises above it.

Girard met the gaze of the woman sitting on the splendid throne above him and immediately plunged his head into the ground.

Woooo!!

“Girard Ozette sees the President!!!”

Oliviera ignored that and turned her gaze to Virgil, who was standing next to her.

[What’s your name?]

He didn’t even open his mouth. It was just that the magical energy that resonated according to her will represented her will.

Virgil replied.

“Girard. This is Girard Ozette. It is one of the management agents of partner companies, and the personnel department is considering renewing the contract by being incorporated into the board of directors in consideration of the achievements so far. My skills have already been verified, but my promotion tends to be delayed because of my personality that doesn’t mix well with the organization.”

“… … .”

Is there anything more heartbreaking than hearing about your performance evaluation directly from the president’s mouth?

However, Girard was so paralyzed that he couldn’t even think of such a thing.

It can be known because he managed to change the nature of magical power and reached the 6th level while twisting his innate image and struggling all over the place.

What he is facing now is not a mere human being.

A superman who has already thrown off the shackles of life as a species and truly achieved harmony between the inside and the outside.

There was a giant of the era in front of him, riding on a timeline completely different from others and peering out into the distant landscape.

Oliviera’s eyes moved slowly toward Girard.

Brilliant iridescent light overflowed beautifully from within her eyes.

Girard was just dazed, unable to do anything other than lose his gaze in the radiance.

[…] … .]

don’t ask anything Hear nothing.

She just ‘sees’ everything Girard experienced with her own eyes.

Virgil, who had been watching the scene from the side, slightly turned his head.

‘Chilchaebo’s Mystic Eye… … . It’s creepy to see at any time.’

Seven radiance in the gaze. It is no different from the totality of the sorcery that Oliviera Lone Maze accumulated throughout her life.

For those who don’t have the same level of resistance to magic as her, it wouldn’t be strange if their heads exploded from the amount of information they couldn’t handle the moment they met that gaze.

Rather, the fact that Girard didn’t lose his mind even after making eye contact with her was proof of that level.

However, even Girard, whose inner self was twisted, could not look into those eyes for long.

“Agghuk… … !!”

Woooo!!

Seeing Girard collapse with foam on his face, Oliviera smiled and slowly looked away.

[I remembered. That child, it’s one of the specimens I experimented on myself.]

“… … .”

[Perhaps he captured an interesting test subject decades ago and made similar adjustments to other children… … . Was it a method of forcibly granting geas to awaken the change in nature?]

Virgil didn’t answer.

There was no need to remind her of another specimen called Iola in her blurry memory.

[Well, it’s fine. If you can’t remember it, it probably wasn’t that important… … . stand up.]

“Huh, uhhh… … !!”

Girard’s face was drenched in sweat.

He couldn’t even think to look up at her properly anymore.

[Looking through your memories, I saw a rather peculiar wizard in that worm-like life.]

The sudden announcement didn’t surprise Virgil.

As expected, it is strange that a magician of the level of Oliviera does not recognize her talent.

It must have been that he had summoned Girard to this place in the first place because he had something he wanted to hear directly from him.

[The Wizard of District 49. Tell me everything you saw and felt about the man named Van. Instead of looking into your memory, I want to hear it directly from your mouth.]

* * *

-We have secured the personal information of Parden McQueen, the 1st president you requested.

Ibelin’s words declared in a nonchalant voice came over the phone.

– Handing over the personal information of all executives at the level of the president is too risky due to confidentiality. If it wasn’t for Hina’s help, it would have been difficult to obtain information from the first boss.

Lennok, who tilted his head slightly and slid his cell phone over his shoulder, nodded.

“great job. It will probably be of great help in resolving this matter.”

Municipal Central Library built in downtown Balkan.

In the hallway of the library, now entirely used by Lennok and Aris for college business, Lennok was quickly leafing through the answer sheet in his hand.

The midterm exam for Elementary School this semester. It was impossible for assistant professors like Lennock to escape such a large event that every student at the university participated in.

Thanks to that, Lennok was spending his time sharing and grading the hundreds of test papers Aris had brought with her.

It was like an unintentional break in the realm discussion, but it wasn’t too bad for Lennok.

Aside from what Lennok himself achieved, it seemed Aris needed time to think for himself, not advice.

In the end, no matter how much you help and attract, it is inevitable that you are alone to take a decisive step.

Being the same wizard, and having passed the same scenery, Lennok knew that better.

No matter how much I thank Yakseon, it’s not enough.

The chance that Lennok obtained by using the side effects of the medicine reorganized the possibility of his choice itself.

– After today, it will probably be difficult to contact you for a while.

“It looks like the agent is also very busy.”

-Recently, the scope of work assigned to this department is rapidly expanding. I cut things that cross the line too far from my line, but it is also true that the trend outside the megacities is unusual.

“… … .”

-Ban I don’t know if you’re interested in what’s going on outside the city, but you’d better get things done with the cartel ASAP. If the Balkan City Council wants to turn its attention to the outside, it will want to sort out the problems that have arisen from the inside.

“well… … . It’s easier said than done. What needs to be done is set, but… … .”

Lennok sighed and began to annotate the exam paper with the red pen in his hand.

The answer sheet that Aris handed me to look at together was taken a back seat before I knew it.

As more than five lines of grading evidence and commentary were added at the bottom of the test paper, Evelyn continued with a voice full of energy.

– Rumor has it that you single-handedly wiped out the Cartel’s Execution Unit.

“I was lucky.”

-… … Avid Johnsen, the head of the Execution Unit and former managing director, is a well-known wizard among the pleasure killers of the underworld. It’s not enough that he summons a magician of that level to the battlefield and mixes hands one-on-one, killing him on the spot, and that’s all he says… … I wonder what the sorcerers I know will make when they hear it.

“… … .”

– Well, good. The fact that the young wizard I saved that day was actually the heir to the arcane magic that hid its power wouldn’t be that important. Don’t forget that the important thing is to finish the job well with the cartel.

I sent some boxes of vegetables to the bar, so don’t forget to pick them up properly.

I wondered if I hadn’t heard of that disgusting vegetable for some reason, but it seems that I was saving it until the end.

However, the meaning of the conversation I just had with Evelyn is worth keeping in my memory.

Evelyn is one of the few officials who remember Lennok’s appearance when he was almost killed by Croken at the factory and Lennok’s status now.

For a noble archer like her, it wouldn’t be strange at all to have a rough idea of ​​what level Lennok had reached.

Even so, instead of talking about Lennok’s skills, the behavior of hanging up the phone by talking about vegetables… … .

‘Someday I’ll need to talk to Evelyn separately.’

Even trivial words that have been passed over are not easily forgotten in Lennok’s mind.

At the moment when I was discussing the future with Grisha in the Dominion, I remember that there was a title that was particularly memorable among some of the people she cited as examples of her decision to join the Lighthouse.

Green Jewel Archer.

If the helper Grisha was talking about was referring to the person Lennok thought of… … .

In the worst case, you may have to share Evan and Van’s identity with only one person.

Before the situation came unexpectedly, Lennok had to be prepared.
