Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 63



Only Krnovel

”You mean Reisen’s fall?”

Evelyn’s office.

Despite the fairly luxurious environment, it seems that junk things are piled up here and there, as if it is not properly maintained.

Among them, what catches the eye is the sparsely planted vegetable gardens throughout the office.

Evelyn didn’t seem to be the type to refrain from her hobbies, even in an empty seat.

“okay.”

As Evelyn replied to Lennok’s words, she naturally stretched out her hand on the desk.

Picking up a carrot among the vegetables that were scattered around, she began chewing on it raw.

Lennok tried not to stare at it, but he couldn’t help but feel the smell of onions wafting through his nose.

“Would you like to eat one? I grew up myself. It’s a personal hobby.”

“….done. I’d like to hear more about it first.”

“I grew it organically. How difficult is that in this low-quality city air? Eat one when they give you one.”

“……”

It’s the second time I’ve met with Ban’s face, but he’s a terribly erratic and selfish person.

Eventually, Evelyn opened her mouth again only after putting a long cucumber in Lennoc’s hand.

“The slush fund that Raysen has been collecting is money made through collusion with giant corporations. I will use this opportunity to bring down the city council’s trumpeter.”

“…That’s a story I don’t really want to hear.”

I thought he was an extraordinary person, but I never thought he would have such thoughts.

No, I never thought I’d openly tell Lennok about this plan.

There was too much Lennok didn’t know yet to get involved in the feud over the city.

“Well, I have no intention of making you do anything difficult anyway.”

Evelyn said as if to reassure Lennok.

Even as she talked about this serious story, her expression remained calm.

Lennok managed to control his expression, but he couldn’t help feeling the bitter taste of the cucumber in his mouth.

A day after the operation surrounding the Trade Center.

A meeting with the three freelancers hired for this job and the two of them after finishing the clean-up of everything that happened in the operation area in just 24 hours.

Nominally, it is a call to confirm and pay the success fee that Lennok has been monopolized this time, but in reality, everyone knows who completed this operation from beginning to end.

From Lennok’s point of view, it wasn’t a day or two that he felt that his teammates’ abilities were not good, but the people who worked with him for the first time would be different.

It was natural for the amount of money to be added to the account to increase, but the fact that Evelyn was there was a little surprising.

It was only when she first tried to recruit him that she tried to do so, but it was rare for a talented person like her to be involved in such a trivial remuneration process.

That would mean that Evelyn Marcia had a high opinion of the magician’s class, but… To be honest, it wasn’t very pleasant.

Cooperating with her and the city government’s agents this time was in line with Lennok’s original purpose, and it was only meant to pay off his debt.

Originally, it would be right not to even associate with such a dangerous group.

But Lennok, unwillingly, was being drawn more and more into the center of what was happening in the city.

“The reason I tell you this is because the enemies you have to deal with in this operation may not be just terrorists.”

“what?”

“In exchange for my intervention in this operation, a disciplinary committee was held at the top. Since we violated the order, our authority will be drastically reduced, and Reisen will start using his hands accordingly.”

Evelyn’s green eyes turned to Lennok.

Even knowing that the modulated magic pattern was perfect, her gaze was transparent enough to inadvertently make you nervous.

“Van, are you ready to kill the same Freelancers?”

Felix

“I’ve worked with people on that floor a few times, but surprisingly there are people who can’t answer this question. I want to check that before I start.”

“……It’s true that I feel reluctance to kill a business partner.”

Lennok replied with an expressionless face.

“But it’s just a concern that it might interfere with my future work, and it’s not a big deal if the cause is on this side.”

“Oh, what does that mean?”

“Aren’t you worried about Reisen interfering with the operation? They will definitely try to hire their own troops, and it wouldn’t be strange if there were mercenaries or freelancers mixed in.”

I understand what she’s worried about.

Senator Reisen obviously wants to get her slush fund back before the agent does anything, and it’s not strange to sabotage her current operation for him.

The reason why she took the punishment and intervened unreasonably in this operation was probably because she was worried that Reisen would intervene if the operation was prolonged.

At first, it was just speculation, but seeing him call him up and talk about it, it didn’t seem like it was anything to worry about.

“……”

“You just have to pass the situation to the broker in moderation before the operation is over. Then, even if those attached to Reisen die, there won’t be any problems.”

“Hmm…”

At Lennok’s words, Evelyn put down the carrot she was holding and began to look at him with a meaningful expression.

Lennok turned his head slightly, disgusted by the blatant stare, which was completely different from before, and full of intentions.

“Why?”

“Was it summer when we met at the factory?”

“……”

“I think I became quite a different person then than I remembered.”

Evelyn smiled at him for the first time.

“I like that mindset. Are you thinking of becoming an agent?”

“what?”

“Originally, I was thinking of a 4th level wizard with a bit of a strange personality… but if it’s your level, I think I can serve one person even if I join this side right away.”

“……Let’s talk about work.”

Somehow, I feel like I know who the ‘strange 4th level wizard’ she is talking about is.

A little goosebumps at the fact that Evelyn still hadn’t forgotten Lennok’s original face at the grocery store, but Lennok said it without showing any signs.

Evelyn, who was staring at Lennok’s face as if observing it, shook her head as if she couldn’t help it.

“Sorry. If you have that kind of judgment, I think you can fill my role to some extent in the field. For various reasons, I have a hard time moving myself.”

“Wasn’t Hina Oneil supervising the operation?”

“Hina, of course, is an excellent agent, but her body is naturally weak, so it is difficult to work for a long time. In particular, if you work for a long time in a harsh environment like an out-of-town district, you have a lot of trouble because you have a chronic disease.”

“It’s a chronic disease…”

Hearing that, Lennok remembered the conversation he had had with her.

They said that there was a certain limit to their fighting ability, was it because of the existence of a chronic disease?

If you belong to the city government’s agent with such a penalty, at least one of your own strengths must be a definite specialist.

But more than that, there was one piece of information that couldn’t be shed from her words.

“You’re saying it’s very difficult to say that the next operation area is an off-district.”

“Oh, did I?”

Lennok rose from his seat as he watched Eveline tilt her head with an impudent expression.

“I guess the result of tracking the encryption key mixed with dummy data was that one, right? Call again after specific operations are decided. I have a few personal things to deal with.”

“Nari, a popular wizard, must be busy after all. I don’t know if I can set aside time to work with us on this.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

muttered Lennok as he gripped the doorknob.

“Because I’m not stepping out like this just to pay off the debt of my life.”

“……There will be about 15 days until the next operation. Prepare slowly and see you then.”

Warlocks and terrorist organizations.

And in the meantime, even Reisen’s tricks that would interfere.

As complex as it may be, the problem in Lennok’s mind is always clear.

The key is not to get confused about what to prioritize.

It was of the utmost importance that Lennok never forget why he got into it.

Through the heritage mentioned by Raoul, we find clues to the words left by Cheongyeon.

Once he started moving, even if he couldn’t figure out all the truth, he had to at least find a direction.

widely!

Eveline was watching the empty seat of Lennok who had closed the door and disappeared with an unknown expression on her face.
