Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 32
Only Krnovel
Boaaaaang!!
After only one minute had passed.
Lennok was chasing the male and female freelancers from earlier in the same old jeep the couple were riding in.
There was no need to tell him what had happened to the man and woman couple who aimed guns at him.
This time, I put [Bloody Chase] on the woman’s blood and follow the direction as it is and run through the alley.
Unlike the man named Mount, the woman seemed to have the magical ability to notice Lennok’s magic, but she didn’t have the time to destroy it while being pursued like this.
I attach a thread dyed red to the windshield of the car and change direction as my head shakes.
Chasing a normal car would have been difficult, but chasing a car without a rear wheel was possible with Lennok’s tough driving skills.
As I drive up and down the worn-out alleyways and through the narrow roads, I soon start to see a staggering car.
I stepped on the accelerator and crashed into it.
Kwaaang!!
Along with the body of the car, Lennok’s body also shook violently, but the shield wrapped around his body was strangely crushed by Lennok’s magic control and prevented bruises.
I turned the steering wheel and threw the car to the side of the road and hit the door.
Woojijijik!!
The old stone walls are scratched away, and the front passenger door of the car is torn apart in an instant.
Hearing the mysterious shouts coming from inside, Lennog grinned.
I wanted to drive it until the side of the car was completely smashed, but soon the narrow alley ended and an open vacant lot appeared.
The front yard of an old abandoned five-story abandoned building.
To the side, the same closed railroad tracks are long, rusty traces of the past.
As soon as there was space, the car quickly pulled sideways to escape the jeep’s head-butt.
The cars can be seen running away, but instead of stepping on the accelerator once more, Lennok leisurely watches them.
‘There’s nowhere to run.’
Even before entering the vacant lot, the confirmation was completed with the magic power detection.
Lennok blocks the way back to the alley and the wide open railroad.
Unless the two of you intend to climb up the abandoned building and escape, you should stop here.
Even if he thought so, he wouldn’t want to show his back with Lennok right in front of him.
And by now… it’s time to get drunk on the advantage of numerical superiority and stick your teeth in once in a while.
Unsurprisingly, the car, which had been staggering and running well, came to a halt and the car door swung open from the inside.
Instead of running away, the two of them got out of the car and began walking slowly towards Lennok.
Mount gnashed his teeth while rubbing the back of his sore neck.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been hit while driving. It’s been a long time since I thought of the old days. Thank you very much.
“Mount.”
“Trisya. do not dry Judging from how he’s been chasing this far without missing a beat, he’s a pretty good guy. I have to clean it up here and go.”
“……That’s not wrong.”
The woman called Trisha noticed the [Bloody Chase] that Lennok had used on her, and raised her magic power to shake it off.
She, too, shot sharply at Lennok, raising her eyes.
“hey. Are you a freelancer too? Madison seems to have opened her hand anywhere because she was in a hurry, but the idiot who tried to sell out company secrets is now futile, but it’s useless. Why are you interfering in what has already been done?”
“I wouldn’t have let Madison live if I had thought it would really end.”
Lennok replied sullenly.
“……what?”
“If the customer to buy the blueprints has already been saved, there is no reason to return Madison alive and well. Didn’t he need someone to put a dump on while he sold the blueprints elsewhere?”
I’m sorry, but that’s what it means to be hit in the back of the head on this floor.
If you risk your life for profit and loss and betray your faith once overturned on a street where it scatters like pieces of toilet paper, shouldn’t you do it properly?
In that sense, Mount and Trisha’s behavior after betraying Madison is extremely awkward.
At first glance, they seem to have been well-rounded on this floor, but it would be reasonable to assume that the reason Madison, who was unmatched by stupidity, was saved with only a bruised lip, was not because they were suddenly equipped with sympathy, but for another reason.
And, that meant that the blueprints were still in their hands.
Lennok, who took out a new tobacco from his pocket in preparation for battle, lightly flicked his hand.
“Give it up. If you leave it out now, it will save your life.”
Still, it was the maximum consideration Lenok could give to fellow freelancers.
However, it seemed that the two heard Lennok’s words very close.
“No, fuck really… This is the way to solve it in a good way. If you don’t know the horse, we have no choice but to use our hands.”
From their point of view, who had a numerical superiority, Lennok’s high-handed attitude was completely incomprehensible.
It’s strange that we think of each other completely differently, but the words come and go.
And all three of them did not attach any meaning to the conversation.
Tricia muttered as she raised her magic with a murderous expression.
“Are you saying you can save lives? I’ll just kill you, so please take care of yourself!!”
Woooooo!!
At the same time, ten long strands of magic thread extending from her hands quickly clung to the car and, like a wild horse that started, started galloping towards Lennok.
Boaaaaang!!
As soon as Lennok saw her, he immediately realized what kind of magician Trisha was.
‘Operation class unique magic. It’s also a very sophisticated type. If it’s enough to manipulate a vehicle from that distance and crash it as it is…’
Previously, I couldn’t catch them because I concentrated on identifying the signs of the two in a hectic situation, including smoke bombs, but if Trisha is a manipulation-type wizard, I can understand everything that happened earlier.
The reason why a car without a person in the driver’s seat suddenly started, or the reason why I managed to get this far even after one of the rear wheels broke was probably because of her presence.
Manipulation-type magic is notorious for requiring extremely precise technique among many spells, but it has the advantage of being able to respond flexibly to a wide variety of situations under the premise that it is capable of that much.
However, the difficulty of innate magic is high, and it is very difficult to increase the range and range of ‘magician’, which is the basis of the manipulation series, so it was difficult to achieve greatness unless you are born with the related talent.
Or, like Lennok, he has the ability to reshape magic itself on the fly.
[Marionette]
Connect the magician stretched out with your index finger to the jeep standing behind you.
Due to the limitations of common magic, the range is increased by pouring magic into magicians whose range does not increase, and the scope of application is widened.
The headlights, which had been turned off, flashed on, and the jeep, which started in an instant, jumped forward.
Woooooo!!
crash.
Kwaaaaang!!
The bodies collided at an angle made a loud noise and bounced in different directions.
Scattered bumpers and body parts.
The images of a car passing by Lenok narrowly and a jeep protruding far and crashing into an old abandoned building intersect.
Through the black smoke billowing from both sides of the car, I could see Trisha’s eyes widening as if tearing.
“Now, wait… how do you use manipulation-type magic…”
“Idiot, focus!”
Is it rather that sloppy-looking man who is awake?
Hearing Mount’s roar, Lennok immediately raised his mana.
Woo woo woo!!
Purple whips scattered in the air quickly shot out and aimed in the direction where the two were.
Both Mount and Tricia dodged the attack without difficulty, but the whip actually went far past the two of them and stretched out—
Immediately, I grabbed the rebar of the abandoned building behind them.
Hey hey…!!
As the [Gravity Bind] mixes with the support of the abandoned building, which was shaken by the collision with the jeep that Lennok had hit, the strong gravity pulls the out of balance.
Trisha’s complexion turns white when she finally realizes Lennok’s intentions, but it’s already too late.
Pull your arm back and grab it as it is.
The old and rusty rebars of the abandoned building could not resist the attraction and in an instant collapsed like dominoes and hit the empty lot.
shield
Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!
The concrete supporting the walls crumbles and dozens or hundreds of rebars pour down inside.
The rusted rebars were smashed by the impact of the fall, and chunks of metal bounced in all directions.
Lennok, who made the plate as he wanted, immediately gave another big blow with his mana.
Whoa…!!
Take a step forward and stretch out wide.
The mana flowed from between the fingers takes the path of intense thoughts and images and transforms them into concrete forms.
Then, by quickly recombining the remaining magic power, a new blue bundle of lightning was drawn in the air.
[Lightning Bound]
Pajijijijik!!!
As if dozens of bolt magics were condensed, an intensely sparkling sphere struck down.
The intense heat burst out with the intensity of light enough to instantly turn the darkening sky blue.
Aaaaaaa!!
As the rusted iron bars reacted greatly to the intense electric shock, currents of deep blue light flowed like waves and lit up the ground.
A wide-area skill that will inevitably be hit unless the skill is very good.
I didn’t touch the couple in the old jeep earlier, but these guys are different.
It was a goal that was directly related to Lennok’s work, and he had no intention of leaving any room in his hands against those who had a strong water that crashed the car body from the start.
“……”
It must have been a hit, but beyond the dust, there is only dead silence.
Lennok waited patiently, inhaling the smoke with a cigarette in his mouth.
I didn’t even think that I would die just this much, and it would be difficult even if I actually died.
If the blueprints are not in their hands, they will have to borrow them to find a broker called Madam.
And the vital response to Lennok’s sensory sphere did not disappoint him.
Kwaaaaang!!
Like a mole breaking through the sand, the mount protruded from under Lennok’s feet and slammed his arm through the rebar.
What he was holding in his hand was a straight sword resembling a sharp awl.
The blue magic light that blooms from the blade flows in a row and collides with Lennok’s shield.
Woojijik!!
The number of days dug up with intense momentum tore apart the two layers of Lennok’s shield and dug in as it was.
Penetration is more than what it looks like on the surface.
Sensing the instant they collided, Lennok quickly took two steps back and hit the impact magic.
Turtle!!
At the same time, he took out his revolver and aimed at both of Mount’s shoulders, one by one.
Tattang!!
However, after the shock magic was moderately hit and spilled, Mount shook his body to the side to avoid the bullets fired by Lennok, and immediately pushed forward more.
“……”
It was a concise movement, but Lennok’s eyes sank coldly as he recognized Mount’s level with that one response.
From the fact that he let go of shock magic that he couldn’t even see properly, it means that he is no longer a normal person.
The reason why he dodged the revolver’s bullets was probably because he was worried that Lennok had tricked him, rather than because the bullet itself was a threat.
The third shield breaks through, and immediately the fourth begins to shake.
Proof that the power of the couplet attacks that Mount wielded with that awl-like sword was comparable to the strength of the bandit-like man he met in the harbor.
It was different from the past, where you could simply layer five shields on top of each other.
He gradually realizes that he is encountering an opponent with a higher level as an enemy.
Kwaji Jijik!!
Break through the fourth shield. If the fifth shield is breached, it is only a matter of time before Lennok is exposed naked.
Moreover, the fact that Trisha does not appear is also something that cannot be overlooked.
It wasn’t unusual for a crisis he faced from a lightly received request, but Lennok’s face was still as cold as ice.
Despite the opponent’s ability changing day by day, Lennok’s answer does not change.
I didn’t avoid it as I had originally planned, I just went straight ahead.
Wasn’t the magical research that had been devoted for so long prepared for this moment?
Fuck!
At the same time as he snapped his fingers, the shield that was desperately resisting the mount’s attack flinched.
Wheein!!
In an instant, it began to rotate around an invisible starting point.
Kagagak!!
At first, the shield, which seemed to be simply vibrating, bounced off the mount in an instant as it rotated like a mad engine.
As the hit points, which had been concentrated in one place, shifted, the blade of the mount lost its penetrating power and began to lose power.
‘Measures in case the shield breaks have been prepared for a long time.’
It’s just that there was no time to use it in the harbor.
The attack that the bandit-like man unleashed wasn’t just about breaking the shield, it was about to bury Lennok in the ground.
It was because getting out of the spot was more urgent than rotating the shield.
In the end, Mount, who failed to break through Lennok’s shield, quickly checked the retreat and moved.
It was only then that Lennok was able to properly determine what weapon Mount was holding in his hand.
It was not a blade, but an elongated awl resembling a drill.
Blue magic light leaked from between the slowly rotating rotating blades.
Wooooooooong..!!
With a weapon focused on penetrating power that much, could it be that he was able to dig down the shield in an instant?
It was also clear that Mount’s skills in handling such unusual weapons were formidable.
However, after the first raid failed, I have no intention of giving them a second chance.
“……Tch.”
Reluctantly biting his lip, Lennok lowered his mana and swung as he watched Mount step back.
Awesome…!!
In an instant, the ground they were stepping on froze, creating a white sheet of ice, and blue waves of lightning began to roll over it.
The three foxes protruding from Lennok’s hand resonated violently, holding a net of lightning and narrowing the mount’s radius of action, and Lennok’s secondary magic holding a revolver filled the gap.
Tatatatang!!
Even though it is difficult to use firearms against superhumans, it is a different story if you accumulate damage by stacking auxiliary magic for each shot.
On the slippery ice, blood spurted from Mount’s thigh, which had been sluggish after being hit by a lightning net.
The moment when there was a crack in his always calm expression.
Kwaaaaang!!
A white object that appeared in the air broke the ice sheet Lennok had created and landed on the ground.
Lennok, who had been gathering his mana to respond immediately, stopped moving when he saw it.
It was because the appearance of the white object that Trisha was riding was so bizarre that it was difficult to see.
Something that looked like a deer, but rattled with only bones remaining without any skin.
Riding on a creature that seemed difficult to call a creature, Trisha looked down at Lennok and radiated lifelike magic.
“If the blueprint tells you to hand it over, don’t you think it’s something that comes out of your chest? Fuck, let’s try it until someone finds it!!”
Ten strands of thread stretched from her hands clung to the bony deer’s body, and immediately the deer started running toward Lennok.
Doo doo doo!!
Not only the speed, but also the sense of weight felt from a distance is unusual.
Even though it was smaller than the old car from earlier, the approaching intimidation was more than that.
Lennox also had no intention of standing still.
Pull out the [Gravity Bind], hook it on the deer’s paw, and pull it straight.
Woowook!!
As expected, the weight of the deer itself was very heavy, and as soon as it was tied to the whip due to gravity, its movement slowed significantly.
Trisha could feel her clenching her teeth as if she hadn’t expected her movement to be hindered by a single spell, but the situation did not change.
I can feel the deer’s ferocity as it tries to somehow run forward, dig into the ground, and run into Lennok.
Lennox had some idea why Tricia was so reckless.
Manipulation-type magic generally requires very sophisticated skills, so even a slight change in the external environment can cause the magic to break.
Tricia now intends to put an end to the battle by putting pressure on Lennok from the front, severing his magic entirely.
However, these are all tactics that can be established under the premise that Lennok is a manipulation-type magician like her.
And in the opposite case, it was a formula that could be applied to Trisha herself.
If you’ve come this far, you don’t have to wait any longer.
As if taking control of space, she stretches out her magic power, and then grabs and twists all the magicians that Trisha has stretched out.
Magic interference used against wizards.
Wood Deuk!!
As expected, it was not difficult to interfere with the manipulation sequence revealed by the magician, who requires delicate control ability and at the same time directly affects the realization of magic.
Udangtangtang!!
The shape of the white bone deer collapsed like a doll that lost its joints when the control magic was released.
Even Tricia’s eyes widened in disbelief among the countless bone fragments that were collapsing.
There is no way a battle will be established from the moment you lose your mobility.
Lennok, who jumped up his mana and sent three lightning bolts, vigorously swung his five fingers.
The magician shining between the knuckles shimmered in the night air,
At the same time, Trisha’s car, which had been pushed by the first collision, ran into the headlights and crashed into the owner who collapsed as it was.
Kwaaaaang!!
“Keuuugh…!!”
Although she let out a painful moan, Tricia’s complexion looked fine even after allowing the collision of the body weighing more than 1 ton.
The moment the Bone Deer collapsed, it used manipulation-type magic in an instant to soften the impact by making the bone fragments into a huge bone shield.
Lennok’s eyebrows twitched as he confirmed his swift yet delicate magic manipulation ability.
It is the first time that the follow-up hit was not successful even after putting in magic interference.
That’s proof that Trisha’s magic control and ability to cope with situations are excellent.
Raising his alertness to the maximum, Lennok immediately drew a revolver from his waistband and pulled the trigger.
[Aim correction]
[Percussion Acceleration]
[Enhanced speaker]
Tatatatatatang!!
Six bullets fired while emptying a revolver’s magazine in an instant.
However, in the meantime, Mount, who ran quickly and blocked Trisha’s way, blocked half, and the other half lost power and hid behind the collapsed bone shield to avoid it.
“……”
You can tell just by watching that perfect breath.
talented person. They are also veterans who were hard to see among freelancers.
I opened the cylinder and slowly loaded the bullet while staring at my opponent.
Realizing that Lennok was no ordinary wizard, the two also stared at him with sharp eyes.
“Trisha, focus.”
Mount said, breathing slowly.
“That is a monster.”
“Fuck….. I know.”
Trisha wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said in a trembling voice.
“I have to kill you here. You can’t run away twice.”
“……okay.”
Mount answered briefly and slowly stepped forward.
Tricia, who spread her magician widely, naturally assembled the broken bone fragments behind him and began to create something.
Woooo!!!
Correspondingly, Lennok slowly rotated his mana again.
‘……Reminds me of the time at the pharmaceutical company.’
2 vs 1 against the front and rear forces.
The position is the same, but the difference in the level of the opponent is clear.
But still Lennok’s head was spinning coldly.
‘Since you’ve used Magical Interference once, you won’t be easily defeated the second time. But it’s not like there’s no way.’
His wide-spread mana quickly scans all directions and finds the most effective and deadly tactic in this situation.
‘Kill one, capture the other. The important thing is timing.’
At the same time as finishing thinking, the two of them move first.
Trisha’s hands began to move busily in all directions as Mount sprinted forward.
In an instant, a huge bony spear rose from behind her and shot at Lennok.
Wood Deuk!!
Before Lenok can react, it spreads like an umbrella in all directions, forming a lattice of bones with the body fixed to the ground, restricting movement.
Then, as the magic power of the mount that had accurately set the target fluctuated violently, the awl-like blade he held began to rotate like crazy.
madam
Weeeeeeeeing…!!!
The upper body of Mount, who held the blade in reverse, leaned back greatly.
The bent upper body bounced vigorously like a spring, leaving only an afterimage behind, and a blue beam of light shot straight from the end of the swinging arm and sprinted toward Lenok.
Wedge love!!
And Lennok, who was accurately reading the timing with his magic power sensor, immediately slammed the magic power down his feet.
[Upper Ground]
The ground Lennok was standing on rises straight up.
Koo Goo Goo!!!
The javelin that Mount fired with all his might cuts through the air, and the bone prison that Trisha has delicately manipulated loses its support and collapses.
Lennok, who destroyed the two people’s goals with a single spell, raised his mana one after another.
squeeze it in your hand
Powerful imagery becomes an intangible will as it is and turns into light that illuminates the night sky.
A blue flash of light shattered the moment.
[Thunder Calling]
Kwaaaaaang!!!
Trisha couldn’t escape.
Destructive power, visibility, and attention are all powerful enough to drain people’s souls.
However, it is a firepower magic that is perfect for harm if used incorrectly in that there is a certain amount of precursor right before casting and that it forcibly draws attention.
That’s why Lennok always correctly differentiated the moment to use this magic and wielded it.
To bring a clear finish to a battle that has already ended.
Or a fleeting moment that determines victory in a fierce battle.
Just like now, it’s an oriental medicine to grab attention.
Pajijijik!!
“Kuuuuuuuu!!!”
Mount, who had been looking up at Lennok from a distance, suddenly shuddered and began to scream in pain.
He, who had never suffered much damage from the electric net of three electric foxes, collapsed on the ground like a beast that was electrocuted and began to tremble without Lennok’s magic reaching him.
A very faint magician’s strand clung to his neck, and Lennok’s [Volt] magic spewed out with its original firepower.
At the same time as he turned his attention to [Thunder Calling], he succeeded in subduing the mount by bolting it to a strand of magician Lennok pulled out.
“Ugh…!!! Oops, dog…!! Ugh!!”
Mount finally noticed the magician clinging to his body and struggled, but Lennok pulled out the shock magic and struck him in the back of the head.
Kwaaang!!
In the end, only after confirming Mount, who frothed at the mouth and rolled his eyes, Lennok slowly calmed down the mana that was spewing out in all directions.
“Whoa…”
Slowly approaching the fallen Mount, turning over on his feet and rummaging in his arms.
A few crumpled bills. A few consumable artifacts that seem useful in various situations. A small dagger and a sleek handgun.
It’s a configuration that freelancers can carry around, but it’s not unusual.
Even after wiping out his pockets and even the inside of his shoes, only one more bottle of strange supplement came out.
“…Did I get it wrong?”
I thought that if the wizard left the avant-garde and stepped forward, it would be the mount side if he hid the blueprints, but it seems that he overestimated it.
I was half convinced of that and deliberately took care not to use excessive magic on the mount… Was it useless effort?
Now that it’s like this, I have no choice but to ask Trisha, who planted Thunder Calling.
Fortunately, Trisha somehow survived the lightning strike from Lennok and survived.
As soon as they confirmed the signs of a lightning strike, they dismantled the rebars on the floor and created a lightning rod in the air to disperse the destructive power of the lightning.
Of course, if Lennok hadn’t let go of the controls to capture Mount alive, he would have been reduced to ashes along with the lightning rod, but it was true that her improvisation worked in the end.
Although he was alive because he couldn’t die, he could still be said to have escaped death.
“Cool…!!”
Although it is said to be of mixed blood, its firepower is strong enough to melt the head of a werewolf with a single attack.
No matter how much he made a lightning rod and dispersed the power, even if he weakened it like that, it was impossible to come out intact.
As if revealing that fact, Tricia’s whole body was a mess.
Before the skin burns and peels off, the limbs are frozen, twisted in bizarre ways.
The intestines must have shrunk so much that they can’t move at all from their place.
However, even in the midst of this, the appearance of somehow holding on to the lifeline with the sophisticated magic management ability unique to manipulation-type wizards gave Lennok a different impression.
Lennok, who took out a new cigarette and sat down by her bedside, looked down at her.
“blueprint.”
“Heheu…… Gee, you toxic bastard….. Cool, cool!!”
Trisha, who had been coughing incessantly, let out a laugh.
“If you give it up now, it will save your life. Are you sure you don’t intend to blow up the lives of your comrades?”
As Lennok said that, he raised his index finger and pointed at Mount, who was still unconscious.
Trisha flinched at that motion, which did not generate any magic power, and let out a small sigh.
Slowly, her mouth opened.
“Whoa… It’s been a long time since I handed it over to Madame. Yes, as you said….. I haven’t found a customer to sell to yet…”
“……”
I expected it to some extent from the time they said that the identity of the robbers who betrayed Madison were freelancers, but when I heard it myself, I was very annoyed.
Lennok held back his anger and contacted Sebastian with a summary of the information he had obtained so far.
There won’t be too many brokers on this floor who use the nickname ‘Madam’ while working freelancers like this, so if you are wide-footed, you will be able to negotiate on your own before long.
All that remains is how to deal with these two…
Lennok looked down at Tricia, who was slowly getting quieter with a calm gaze.
The reluctance to kill an enemy who once risked his life to overcome has long since disappeared.
But even Lennok wasn’t sure if it would really benefit him to cut off Mount and Trisha right here and now.
No matter how filthy this street runs, killing partners and betraying them are reluctant.
The reason they were able to stab Madison in the first place was because he was in a position where he was not afraid of repercussions even if he betrayed him, that he was a criminal leaking the company’s project.
When Lennok killed these two people, it was difficult to guess how the aftermath would come.
‘…..It’s a funny thing.’
Not a little time has passed since he made up his mind to live with resentment and vowed to rise to the top of the afterlife, but his head still wants a reasonable result and forces rational judgment.
You must clearly identify your purpose and take a good look at the road.
Otherwise, the talent Lennok so trusted would take him in the wrong direction all too quickly.
Fortunately, Lennox’s worries did not last long.
The moment Tricia’s coughing sound completely disappeared, someone’s voice began to be heard in the air.
[Why don’t we just let go of each other?]
“……..”
okay. Actually, I kind of expected it.
If the existence of Madame was so deeply involved in this matter, it wouldn’t be strange if she planted at least one eye and looked this way.
However, she did not know that Madame herself would come to this place herself.
When I turned my head in the direction the voice came from, a woman who had approached and closed the distance was squatting down and stroking the fainting Mount’s head.
Despite the dark night, a small parasol draped over her shoulder and a black trench coat that went all the way down to her toes.
Even the black veil that completely covered the face.
There was a woman who seemed to have made a suspicious vessel out of silk and wrapped it around her body.
She glanced back at Lennok and continued.
[I seem to have vented my anger with my weak children, but I want to get it back before I die. It’s too good to break right now… they’re such a waste of toys.]
“You know what I want?”
[I am impatient.]
“……”
[But you have the qualifications to talk like that. Get it.]
After saying that, the woman took out a thick paper file from her bosom and tossed it around.
At that moment, dark red blood gushed out of the air, and he grabbed the file iron and slid all the way down, setting it down in front of Lennok.
The appearance and movement of blood flow that is hard to believe even with the naked eye.
A natural talent similar to, but completely different from, a blood mage who uses spells to control blood.
muttered Lennok as he picked up the file.
“Vampires seem to be good at brokering these days.”
[I just do what suits my aptitude. Will I be able to get Trisha back soon?]
Lennok wordlessly moved out of the way to allow the blood she drew out to touch Tricia’s body.
Red blood flowed into her mouth, now completely unconscious, and her breathing soon stabilized.
“……”
It’s a rather embarrassing sight to see in person.
The madam, who skillfully controlled the blood flow and transported the two, turned to Lennok.
“There is something I want to ask you.”
[As long as it’s not a very sensitive question.]
“…..Why did you give up on the blueprint so easily? Isn’t it too futile to give out the blueprints for a plan that was promoted while holding hands with the development team of Ottoble?”
As Lennok said, he shook the blueprint in his hand.
Madame didn’t say anything, but judging from the situation so far, it was obvious who was thinking of working with Madison to steal the blueprints.
In other words, I couldn’t understand her position of giving up work because only two freelancers under her command were in danger of dying, even though she had been leading Zalman’s plan so far.
Madame shook her body vaguely when she heard Lennok’s question.
Like holding back a laugh.
[Why do I have to tell you that?]
If you don’t want to talk, you can’t do anything.
It just seemed that the question could not be answered if it were not now.
Madame confirmed Lennok’s calm expression and her eyes shone.
[I heard that Jenny picked up the gemstone, but it was a rumor. It is already about to be completed.]
“……..”
[It’s a story that doesn’t mean anything now, so let me tell you….. That’s right. I didn’t find it worth keeping the blueprints for anymore. It was much harder to find a seller than I thought.]
She obediently told me why this deal was made.
[Sebastian, because of the young man’s quick movements, the fact that this blueprint I was holding was a new development project from Auterble spread everywhere. In addition, the fact that the blueprint was quite different from the direction Auterble was pursuing previously worked as a demerit for this side. In many ways, I have to say that I was unlucky.]
Saying so, the eyes of the madam shone red beyond the veil.
It was a calm tone, but it seemed that he was feeling quite annoyed by this incident.
But that was for a moment, and the madam, who calmed the agitation in an instant, stroked Trisha’s drooping head.
[This child is a friend with quite a unique talent among the children I have. Of course, it’s not comparable to a genius like you, but he has a talent that can be eaten on this floor in his own way. It’s not a bad deal if you can save such a child with a few scraps of paper that have lost their value.]
“…That’s right.”
Lennok inadvertently agreed to what the madam said.
In fact, Lennok was also a little surprised by the magic talent that Tricia had shown.
It would be meaningless to compare him with all the talents related to magic to the limit, but it was certainly a rare talent that Lennok could handle manipulation-type magic that requires some attention when using it so skillfully.
Even more so when you consider that she tried to go head-to-head with Lennok from the front instead of supporting Mount from the rear.
You can tell just by looking at his strong spirit and boldness.
She will undoubtedly be able to become a higher level wizard than she is now.
At least among wizards that Lennok had seen in person, he had a talent that could be counted on one hand.
Even considering the extreme variance among the wizards he saw.
The madam, who was about to turn around and disappear, stops.
[ah. I forgot to tell you this.]
internal circumstances
Madame waved her hand in the same way as before, and a flower formed in the red bloody water, and something appeared from the peak inside.
As I waited so long to deliver something great, what appeared from the inside was a picture.
[There are rumors that there was a fight with the gangsters in District 48 at Jenny’s bar.]
Lennok silently picked up the photo she had handed him.
Beyond a single photograph against a hazy night sky, a jet of lightning flashed bright blue.
[This is a picture of a battle in which the boss of the cigar bang gang participated. I got it through my children, so it won’t be information circulating on the market.]
“……”
Lennok ignored Madame’s words and carefully looked at the tornado in the photo.
Of course, this is not a simple natural phenomenon. It wasn’t even common magic that Lennok could use.
Lightning class unique magic. Among them, an applied skill that can only be used by wizards who have reached a considerable level.
Arcane magic that the current Lennok did not possess.
The belated words of the madam added certainty to Lennok’s guess.
[I heard rumors that you are a very talented lightning mage. I brought it because I wanted to be interested in it, but I wonder if you like it.]
When she asked, knowing the answer, Lennok was silent before answering.
“…This must have nothing to do with the price of the transaction. Why do you have to tell me?”
It goes without saying how important the information that the boss of the gang learned the lightning-type unique magic was to Lennok.
If the collaboration with Dyke continues like this, it means that Lennok may meet a lightning-type wizard for the first time in this world.
And that might be a new breakthrough for his blocked magic research.
[I like talented people.]
I can’t see it, but I can see her smiling lightly through the veil.
[How beautiful a flower that has not bloomed yet is, and how fleeting it is. Do I really need to explain? Let’s say it’s a greeting that met that kind of talent.]
Madame wasn’t finished talking, but Lennok immediately realized what she wanted to say.
Interest and greed for talent.
If he had expressed such feelings openly, there was no way he wouldn’t be greedy for Lennok right in front of him.
[If you have a talent like that, you will be able to bloom alone someday without anyone’s help. It seems that you already know a little about yourself.]
“……”
[But I can make flowers that are much more beautiful than you think. And please know that we don’t give that kind of help to just anyone and randomly.]
After checking Lennok’s expression, the madam turned to look satisfied.
[Don’t be shy, come visit the castle sometime.]
There were no further questions and answers.
It took an instant for Madame’s figure to disappear from the spot.
Lennox let out a small sigh as he realized that she had vanished by leaping hundreds of meters in a single moment thanks to his strong magic power perception.
A vampire so powerful that it’s hard to believe he’s working as a broker.
He is a force that cannot even be compared to Jude Russell, whom he faced.
It’s probably the vampire side that has lived for a very long time, but I don’t understand why a person like that is stepping into this industry.
The offer she made was quite enticing, but Lennok didn’t make the mistake of naively believing her words.
Handing out a favor without paying anything on this floor was as ephemeral as a flower blooming in mud.
And Lennok had no idea that Madame was such a flower.
It was just a matter of passing it off as a common broker’s scout.
Lennok chewed another cigarette, then wordlessly opened the blueprint and examined the contents inside.
“……This is what it meant.”
Did you say that the blueprint was different from the direction Auterble was pursuing?
As soon as Lennok saw the blueprint, he immediately understood what it meant.
On the inside of the paper, a large motorcycle with two-wheel drive was drawn very delicately.
The identity of the new project being promoted by Autoble, which is famous as an automobile company, was the expansion of the product line.
“It’s a bike…”
Lennok looked down at the blueprints and smiled.
Wasn’t it too difficult for Lenok, who had no means of transportation, to covet from the start?
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to buy one if the kite came in later, but it wasn’t a matter to seriously think about right now.
‘At least I’ll have to restrain myself until I have a means or magic to safely escape from the means of transportation.’
The more I thought about it, the more research on movement magic was desperately needed.
Recently, as he had dealt with a series of people who seemed to be in line even in Lennok’s eyes, it seemed necessary to devise a little more countermeasures in case of an emergency.
There is no shortage of preparation and prevention.
Lennok, who was behind the wheel of the jeep whose front part had completely fallen off, put a cigarette in his left hand and let out a long puff of smoke.
Buaang!!
Step on the accelerator and quickly get out of the vacant lot.
In the middle of the night when the work was over, in the front yard of the abandoned building, there was only one car with one wheel missing.
