Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 47
Only Krnovel
With Eden’s death, the gang was completely annihilated, and things progressed surprisingly quickly.
It was noisy with the appearance of a black giant that briefly appeared in Area 48, but it was not too difficult to keep your mouth shut on this floor.
Dyke cleared the power plant that the black magician of Pandemonium had pushed aside, established a new branch in its place, and quickly began to dominate the business.
The business needs to be stabilized quickly before the city government checks begin.
Rather, for Panoa and other project teams, from now on, it could be said that it was a real job.
With the success of the plan, the long internal dispute at Dyke Headquarters was also put to an end.
Shareholders unanimously raised the president’s hand, and the in-house management right passed completely to Dustin Goodman.
In the meantime, the restrictions on manpower, which had been severely limited to Panoa, were completely lifted, and her position ran to the upper limit every day.
“Come this way. I was waiting.”
Mana, who had been out in front of the elevator, politely escorted Lennok to Panoa’s office.
Her expression is usually difficult to understand, but lately, she seems to be more energetic in her actions.
“Looks like things are going well.”
“It looks like it shows off a lot.”
Despite answering that, Mana’s face remained expressionless.
“I haven’t even started my business properly yet, and the expected income is unusual. Various customers, including freelancers and mercenaries active in the outer zone, are already trying to make deals with us to supplement the lack of weapons.”
“……”
“The outlook is positive enough that we need to run more than half of our production lines to meet the expected volume.”
Since the project she participated in was a huge success, her position in the company must have risen dramatically.
The elevator stopped and the door opened.
The floor where Panoa’s office is located.
In the space where only she worked, dozens of employees were busy moving around, carrying documents and having conversations while holding on to the receiver.
“There is a problem with the maintenance of Factory No. 4, but there is a shortage of manpower? I’ll send you a list of subcontractors, so select one and send an email back here.”
“During the first production inspection process, defects are not properly checked.”
“Request additional staffing from the upper management, and check the manual again.”
“The Ministry of Finance is empty! Who owns the phone here!”
The people who were shouting and moving loudly, as soon as they saw Mana’s face, adjusted their attitude and looked at each other.
She knocked on the glass door of Panoa’s office slowly, while subtly enjoying the blatant gaze.
Immediately the door opened and Panoa, who had a pale complexion, greeted Lennok.
“Come on in. It’s the first time I’ve seen you since the operation.”
“Long time no see.”
Lennok asked as soon as he sat down on his now-familiar office couch.
“Your face doesn’t look very good.”
“Well… there are things I can’t do if it’s not now.”
As she said that, she smiled skillfully at Lennok.
“Even so, we cannot postpone the gift we should give to the wizard.”
Like the obvious story, it doesn’t happen that the hound is boiled in the pot when the work is over.
Rather, Panoa has been working hard to show that he has not forgotten him by continuing to keep in touch with Lennok even after the work is over.
Because he knows very well that the unexpected success of this plan depended solely on the ability of one person, Lennok.
The reason why he was able to make up for the lack of manpower and information and crush the gang from the front is that Lennok is a powerful person who has gone beyond the category of a simple wizard.
She is aware of the fact that the pot prepared to boil the hound can be ruined whole.
Then there is only one thing you can do.
I have no choice but to give you a sweeter reward and make sure your teeth don’t turn this way.
And Panoa has been working diligently by dividing the time he doesn’t have for this spot today.
“Even though Enakpil’s five fingers were given as an advance payment, the total success of the plan was obviously to be paid separately. Please take this first.”
As she said that, she handed out a bankbook that had been converted to anonymity and a personal seal.
“It is a cannon bankbook containing 300 million cells. You can withdraw all money in cash, and the laundry is neatly finished.”
“……”
Lennok listened to the answer and quietly picked up the bankbook.
300 million cells.
Even taking into account the increased ransom and risk allowances, it is clearly a burdensome amount to pay to one individual.
But Panoa knew for sure that saving money in a place like this wouldn’t do any good.
Moreover, the rewards she prepared did not stop here.
Immediately, he took out a pair of matte black gloves and a small bottle of light green liquid in succession.
“Gloves from the Black Palace workshop, and a medicine called Toone’s spring water. They say it’s mainly good for internal injuries.”
Panoa glanced at Lennoc’s face and said.
“…..I prepared it because I thought that you were overdoing it this time.”
At the end of the operation, he must have received a report that pandemonium was almost involved, so it must have been difficult to go barefoot.
The gift she prepared showed that she put a lot of effort into matching the situation.
That’s why Lennok asked questions first, instead of giving useless answers.
“The Black Palace workshop?”
“This is a VIP workshop run by artisans who take orders for only a few members. Our company also recently received a waiting list and was able to become a member. As such, products from this workshop are of good quality and difficult to obtain, so they are occasionally used as gifts.”
Ignoring Panoa’s condescending words, Lenok picked up the gloves and put them on both hands.
Lightness that sticks to the palm of your hand and hardly feels comfortable to wear.
As a test, he generated mana, and seeing that it passed through the armor very smoothly, it was clear that he had paid close attention to the magic conductivity.
“It is designed to protect the wrist as it hardens rapidly when subjected to a certain amount of impact. Even if you fall from a 10-story building, you can greatly reduce your injuries if you put your hands on the ground properly. It is one of the most popular and hard-to-find products in workshops.”
As soon as Lennok heard that, he took off his gloves and cast shock magic.
Paang!!
As expected, the surface of the glove instantly became hard and stretched all the way to the wrist, trying to protect the joints.
Then Lennok smiled and nodded.
“You brought some good stuff. thank you.”
“Of course, I don’t intend to wipe my mouth with just these items. The funds retrieved from the gang’s safe will be additionally distributed and deposited into the account according to the contribution of this operation. It looks like you spent a lot of money while fighting us, but you should still be able to take more than 70% of the remaining funds.”
“I am waiting.”
You don’t have to refrain from putting money into your account.
Panoa continued to explain in various ways how Dyke Corporation would go forward and how it could help Lennok along the way.
At the same time, she hinted at the nuances of wanting Lennok to help Dyke with his business, but Lennok eventually left the headquarters building without answering.
The sad faces of Panoa and Mana flickered in front of my eyes, but I neatly brushed away my lingering feelings.
I did as much as I could, and I received as much as I deserved.
As a freelancer, he received not only the goal of gaining fame, but also various artifacts, including money, as a reward.
Above all, the data on the lightning-type unique magic obtained from Eden’s laboratory was obviously the biggest harvest that could be reaped from this work.
I have already confirmed in battle that I can use the applied skills within it without having to learn unique magic.
If you go through systematic research, Lennok’s magic will be able to leap to a much higher level than it is now.
Even Lennok, who rarely gets emotional, couldn’t hide his joy just thinking about it.
I want to lock myself in my studio right now and focus on research, but before that, there were a few things I had to deal with externally.
‘I’ll leave it to Jenny to take care of this, and I’ll have to improve my lifestyle a bit first.’
It is self-evident that Lennok’s reputation and ransom rose dramatically due to this incident, but it was necessary to change the existing environment once as he had obtained a large amount of money.
In particular, the current one room was quite narrow to accommodate the items Lenok had, and the security was not good, so he was holding a bit of anxiety.
For this kind of money, it is possible to get a relatively spacious house in a more inner city area.
‘It’s hard to make money, but it’s hard to spend it…’
The gist is one.
Excluding the cost of purchasing elixirs and drugs, how much money can be spent on improving living conditions?
And how much more should I invest in the future?
Considering that wizards need a proper laboratory, it is inevitable that they will continue to increase their personal space.
However, at the same time, it was necessary to leave enough money to maintain the health and vitality of the body with more expensive elixirs and drugs.
It was a difficult problem, and it was a worry that I couldn’t confide in anyone.
Just like swimming on bare ground, you have no choice but to think and find the answer by yourself.
The smoke that disperses far away blends into the cold air of the city and disappears.
Winter was coming.
noise
“Are you gone?”
“yes. As always, he never looked back.”
“It deserves it.”
“…..president.”
Panoa, who had cast her gaze beyond the window, reluctantly turned her head.
Dustin, who was sitting on the sofa, lazily shook the coffee cup he was holding.
“No matter what happens, you have to hold on to Van.”
“I know. And he knows.”
“……”
“How can you not know when you are courting me so blatantly?”
Dustin’s self-deprecating muttering isn’t wrong.
The reason why Panoa gave Lennok a series of unconventional gifts was because the upper echelons had their own judgment that they had to capture him.
“I went to a meeting for a while this time. My friends started asking about the wizard.”
“……”
“Everyone knows how valuable a skilled wizard is without belonging.”
Dustin’s eyes shone sharply.
“You see what I mean?”
“of course.”
Rumors are already spreading among companies about how much the Dyke Corporation will benefit from this, and what kind of magician’s power was at the center.
For those who are more sensitive to the word profit than anything else, the market opened by Dyke will seem like a perfect new continent to them.
“I was told that other companies would not be able to set foot here, at least until the inspections conducted directly by the city government were over. During that time, we must pay attention to solidifying and maintaining the sales network of the weapons we have produced.”
And the name of the powerful wizard who accomplished all of this can be of great help to their plans.
The result of a grand lobby that encompasses the political and business worlds.
It’s only a temporary advantage, but for a large company like them, it must be an opportunity that can be obtained by devoting everything.
“He must know that there is still one request left.”
A collaboration that has been promised five times cooperation.
We went through three operations together, one of which was removed by Dustin himself, so there is only one left.
This promise should not be used to simply tie him down, but should be used as an opportunity to build a better relationship.
“Let’s take our time and work slowly. As long as I have a contact with that broker… someday the opportunity will come.”
