Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 69



Only Krnovel

[Our staff are very grateful.]

The tone is as flat as usual.

However, the voice is heard through a large speaker located beyond the hologram.

Jenny’s Bar. Office located upstairs.

Lennok and Jenny were sitting in the formal space that was used only for public purposes, facing Evelyn’s hologram.

[Thanks to Ban, this side has a lot more work to do. He asked me to express my gratitude.]

“……..”

It’s so hard to read the expression, so I can’t tell how far that statement is a joke.

Perhaps Lennok wasn’t the only one who thought so, but Jenny, who was still listening to Evelyn’s words, frowned.

She said as she slammed the long candle she was holding onto the desk.

“Agent, do you want to get to the point quickly?”

Iveline nodded with a dazed expression at Jenny’s annoyed reply.

preparation for operation

[Don’t get me wrong.]

Evelyn answered while fidgeting with something in her hand.

It was celery. It seems that they have recently started growing new vegetables.

[I am very impressed with the fact that you are contributing so actively to this work.]

“what?”

[Anyway, if it wasn’t for this incident, it would have taken a while for us to notice the pillar’s existence, and it would have come back as a damage to this city in one way or another. In that sense, I will give you the same pay as the one set for the operation this time.]

“……”

Even the money corresponding to Lennok’s ransom amounted to more than tens of millions of cells.

From the agent’s point of view, the attitude of trying to pay for the information itself was not bad, even though it was obtained by chance.

[Let’s put that story aside for now, I’ll share some information I found out about this side.]

Evelyn continued as she fluttered the report over the hologram.

[The spell given to the pillar obtained in Area 55 is black magic. To be precise, it is a method of extracting the energy of the land in large quantities by injecting flowers into the leylines or water veins that exist in the area.]

[Surprisingly, it is also a method used in various types of magic, even if it is not black magic. You can easily gather the energy you need to prepare a large-scale ceremony, and there’s no big penalty other than the cost of time. Of course, it could be a problem in farming land.]

“You mean it’s not a big deal?”

[That’s not it. Anyway, I can’t let the warlocks use this pillar to steal Vulcan’s leyline energy. After receiving half four reports, our outsourced freelancers have been scouring the outskirts of the city, and have found three more similar pillars.]

“Three… in effect, it’s the same as having no income.”

Jenny’s words sounded like pouring cold water on what was going on at best, but they weren’t wrong.

It is unknown how many pillars the black magicians have installed on the outskirts of this vast metropolis, but due to the nature of the magic that sucks power from the leyline, the number of pillars is at least five.

Although the work has just begun, it is a very sluggish achievement.

[I can’t help it. According to them, most mercenaries or freelancers will be cursed just by touching them, so do you think you can use such a high level of manpower to find the pillar? It’s all about looking around suspicious areas and reporting any abnormalities.]

In the end, it was said that there was little that could be realistically done, but Lennok was convinced.

The size of the 40th and 50th zones is several times larger than all the areas in the Balkans combined.

The manpower, time, and cost consumed in finding pillars by walking around the vast area one by one must be something that the agent cannot easily understand.

[It is right to take the minimum possible measures and focus all efforts on the instigator who planned all of this.]

“Is this a realistic choice?”

[I’ll call it a difference in priorities.]

Of course, if the pillar had spread all the way into the 30th Division, Ibelin wouldn’t have come out like this.

Even so, it was correct to interpret her rather lax attitude as the fact that the security and defense inside the 30th division were thorough.

In particular, the core forces of megacities residing inside the city.

It will be difficult to play tricks inside the city avoiding the eyes of the big men who see farther than anyone, even though their hips are heavy.

“good. If so, let’s move on to the next story.”

Judging from Evelyn’s answer, it seemed that nothing would come out no matter how much I urged her.

Anyway, it was confirmed that the curse on Dray was lifted by canceling all the spells on the pillar, so there is no big regret about it.

There were still quite a few things left to hear from her.

[You mean Mad Manson? Your guess is correct. I checked the circumstances that Reisen hired him.]

“Even if I had to choose, that crazy bastard…”

Jenny shook her head as if she had a headache.

Like her wide feet, she is acquainted with Manson.

I understood Jenny’s feelings, but it was unexpected that Evelyn was faintly frowning as if she was embarrassed.

“I don’t think he was such a difficult opponent.”

Although his swordsmanship skills were excellent, it meant that he was in the category of a superman who could handle magical powers.

It is not enough for the spirit of truly non-human monsters.

Even Evelyn, who is shaking over the hologram right now, is the owner of a tremendous flash of light that vibrates the night sky in the city.

“It must have been with that body.”

“A body?”

“That crazy bastard is a multi-physique who uses more than eight bodies with one mind. The one I met you this time was probably the body you use for the search.”

“……It’s not a robot, so such a thing is possible?”

Jenny replied, patting her temples.

“Did you see that he changed his hair to a tin can? In order to prevent excessive consumption of mental power, we are deliberately relying on AI for some of our thinking processes. Besides, each body can do a lot of things and combat power is so different… It’s not like he’s the best among active freelancers.”

“……”

Could that be what he meant when he said he would come dressed up next time?

I didn’t even imagine that there would be people who use multiple bodies for one mind.

It seems that there was a reason why he was able to emit such a relaxed voice even though his whole body was in a state of disrepair.

While Lennok is immersed in his thoughts, the conversation continues quickly.

Evelyn finished the explanation appropriately and told me how the future strategy was laid out.

[Location tracking through the dummy data hidden in the encryption key is over. The location is an out-of-town area far away from the undeveloped district. In terms of distance, it’s actually outside the megalopolis.]

“Is the headquarters of the black magicians there?”

[I confirmed that a large amount of supplies are being piled up. It was probably a temporary base set up to attack the city. If you can find out the inside story with this operation, the garage is overflowing.]

Evelyn spread her three fingers and continues her explanation. Surprisingly, the hand itself is quite small.

[The operation will be divided into three teams. While Team 1 rushes in and draws attention, Ban you take over Team 2 and gather information. Once the information is secured, Team 3 will close the door and pull out the time.]

“It’s tricky.”

It is an operation carried out together with freelancers hired by the agent, not knowing if a talented person like Evelyn works together.

Unlike the 1st and 3rd teams, which only need to focus on entry and retreat, the composition entrusts the core of the operation to the 2nd team with Lennok.

When Lennok noticed this like a ghost, Evelyn murmured as she slightly averted her gaze.

[It’s a whole chain of command according to the capabilities you showed in the last operation. Teams 1 and 3 will also make a statement so that they can basically respect your judgment on site.]

“…I don’t think it will be of any use at all, but I’ll remember it for now.”

Didn’t the giant man or the expressionless woman he met in the last operation also dispute Lennok’s skills and qualifications at first?

If there is no name, there is no doubt, and if the reputation increases, the suspicion will not disappear.

Even if he continues to succeed in his quest and grow, those who do not like Lennok do not cease.

That might be the gaze Lennok will have to endure as long as he stays as a stranger in this city.

Although exhausting, Lennok was already getting used to this process of proving himself.

[Anyway, this work was hard. Additional schedule and operational details will be shared through your lady.]
