Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 72



Only Krnovel

“Sit down.”

“okay.”

Lennok obediently put his buttocks on the sofa across from Dray’s invitation to sit down.

The woman wearing glasses quickly passed two cups of coffee to the two of them and pulled away.

Lennok noticed that the woman was the same woman he worked with when he defeated the scavenger.

I’m sure he was holding a rifle and shooting support from a long distance… His name was Kidel.

Well, that wasn’t the point right now.

“Thank you very much for this day.”

Dray’s complexion with his head bowed was haggard, as if he had not yet fully recovered from the curse.

Judging from his appearance, it seemed that he was driven to the brink of death and then came back to life, but I could understand why Wei An made such a fuss to find Lennok.

However, those eyes are weak and lively, so there is no need to worry about your health any more than this.

“Oh, Kidel. this isn’t coffee What kind of strange medicine have you been brewing?”

“Shut up and eat. I’ll ban all caffeine and the like until I recover.”

Considering his colleagues who were by his side and worried about Dray’s health, it didn’t seem like it would be long before he got well again.

Lennok looked at the commotion between the two and answered.

“It’s not a problem because I was paid for it properly.”

“…..I heard that you helped me first even though I had a delayed schedule. It’s not something I can pass on quietly from my point of view, who actually benefited from it.”

Saying that, Dray pulled out a small wooden box from his pocket and held it out to Lennok.

“please accept this.”

“……”

Inside the wooden box were five small pills, neatly wrapped in small paper.

“It is an elixir called headlock. It is a medicine refined through regeneration-based techniques, and has the effect of restoring various harms both inside and outside the body.”

In a word, does it mean a more advanced red pill?

“It was a medicine that the team members had been looking for to help with the curse, but since the class wizard solved the problem, I think giving it like this will be a way to return the favor.”

At Dray’s firm words, Lennok accepted the wooden box without hesitation.

If he was confident enough to say that, the drug called headlock would also have a considerable price.

Of course, if all these actions were done purely out of goodwill, it would be right not to accept them even in order to get into unnecessary debt…

‘Anyway, Dray Krimgal must have his own calculations.’

Even if it’s okay to arrange a seat, calling him out and giving him a separate reward like this doesn’t quite fit with the business life that Lennok has been experiencing.

Considering that Wei An paid for Lennok’s ransom in advance, it would be correct to see Dray’s actions as a gesture of wanting to continue his relationship with him.

That’s why Lennok didn’t bother to decline the wooden box he handed over.

Not only do you think of Dray Krimgal as a decent mercenary, but he also has things to find out.

“A request for a pillar. Can we hear who the client was?”

“The trick to surviving on this floor for a long time is to keep quiet about things that have already been done…”

He said that and smiled.

“You can’t do that to a half-mage. I will tell you.”

The whole story of the Krimgal mercenary office being destroyed in the underground waterway was like this.

Similar mercenary offices simultaneously received requests to find pillars on the side of the underground water canal.

Compared to the fact that the request didn’t seem too difficult, the pay was quite high, so there was competition between the offices.

“The client who entrusted the request was an ordinary office worker. He didn’t even know what he was talking about, he handed over the cannon bankbook and left. It seemed like he went through several people on purpose to avoid being found out.”

“……”

“Sorry for not being of much help.”

“no.”

Lennok cut him off and stood up.

It was because with just that short clue, I was sure who the people who had commissioned Dray were.

Meticulous actions such as passing through cannon bankbooks and people several times.

Needless to say, which of the warlocks and Reisen were the forces with the infrastructure to be able to use such sophisticated methods while submitting requests in a short period of time?

‘Reisen asked for information about the pillar first.’

And he secretly tried to check it through the mercenaries.

‘After figuring out that Dray was actually cursed, he knew that the pillar was the work of a warlock and tried to retrieve it through Mad Manson.’

Considering that Manson arrived at the culvert half a day before Lennok, it was probably only after Wayan moved that Dray realized that he was cursed.

‘The problem is how much weight does the pillar hold for the black magicians…’

If you don’t put a lot of importance on finding the pillar, it might be beneficial to hire some freelancers and throw them in to attract Reisen’s attention.

While Reisen’s eyes were on the other side because of his lingering attachment to slush funds, this is location tracking using an encryption key, so if you clear the temporary base, you’ll get a much bigger harvest.

‘Considering the possibility that the pole itself installed on the outskirts of Balkan is a decoy, it’s more efficient to not pay attention.’

Thinking quickly, Lennok said goodbye to Dray and left his office.

Wei An, who was hanging around near the hallway, made eye contact with him and greeted him with a stiff expression.

“Oh, hello.”

He looked agitated as if he hadn’t been able to sleep properly because he was wandering around, but his eyes were full of life.

No matter what, Dray came to his senses, so his efforts so far have been rewarded.

Lennok didn’t value feelings like camaraderie, but at least he thought he could trust them a lot more.

“…Thank you so much for this job.”

I was about to pass him with a smile, but Wei An looked at his back and said hesitantly.

“If it wasn’t for you, the captain might have died without lifting the curse in time.”

“……”

“I thought about the talent you talked about at the time, but I couldn’t understand it.”

As Wei An said, he wiped his nose.

“Talk about magic sensitivity and all that is too difficult for me.”

“is it?”

“But as I wandered here and there trying to save the captain… I thought I knew something.”

“……”

“After thinking about what I wanted to do and why I was clinging to this job, I could understand.”

Woooooooo…

While saying that, the blue magic slowly rotated around Wei An.

A completely different spirit from when I visited Jenny’s bar the other day. At this level, it’s not too heavy compared to Dray.

Has it grown this much in such a short amount of time?

“Because I can see the magic around me a little better, there are many things I can do.”

As Wei’an clenched and opened his fists, abundant mana gushed out like a fountain.

The young man, who had been looking down at it with a calm expression, clenched his fists, and the magical power that floated into the sky disappeared in a dazzling whirlpool of light.

He had only been aware of his own talent called magic power sensitivity, but everything from magic power to manipulation ability was rapidly rising.

Even if it is a talent that only protrudes from one side, if the critical point has been far surpassed, the overall magical ability will emerge accordingly.

It was a bizarre growth that even Lennok had never seen in others, but he understood it.

like I knew then. It was that kind of talent, and that kind of potential.

Even if he fell short of Lennox himself, Wei An was a genius in the process of blooming his talents in other ways.

“I am grateful to you. I will definitely pay this debt someday.”

“……okay. Let’s get it later.”

Enough to think that maintaining a relationship with the Krimgal office with Wei An’s existence alone would be beneficial.

When I replied with a smile, Wei An started talking more as if the tension had finally eased.

“When the time comes, come visit our neighborhood. It’s on Bellana Street, there are a lot of nice people. There are many people who want to do something similar to me, so I might introduce them later.”

“Isn’t this place famous for its food? Let me hear from you later.”

Lennok had a moderate conversation with Wei An and then left the office leisurely.

It took a lot of time, but it was half a day worth it.

“……”

I glanced back at the distant scene of the Krimgal office.

It’s a coincidence, but it’s the first time I’ve been in contact with the Krimgal office other than Dylan.

Lennok didn’t want to worry about how far this relationship could go, but there was nothing wrong with maintaining a friendship with a capable mercenary.

How far can Dray lead his office? How strong can Wei An become?

At that time, no one knew how far Lennok would go.

What is magic

Tumble, Tumble.

The sound of footsteps resounding in the thick darkness.

Dull but moderate, massive but full of power.

And, it was only Craig alone who maintained that kind of momentum in this place.

“Elder…”

“…..Hector.”

“The test of the improved technique is over. After injecting the subject with the suggestion and completing the necromantic ritual, you will see the result.”

A haggard face deprived of moisture from the scorching heat of the desert.

The faces of those who left the city believing in that one thing are still full of trust.

Craig couldn’t stop his heart from breaking as he watched it.

“Okay… talk to me when you’re ready. Let me personally observe and check the whereabouts of the experiment.”

“All right. Oh, and…”

As Hector said that, he turned his back and said as if he remembered something.

“Another supply has arrived from Falchion. In fact, I have a strong feeling that they keep sending me things I don’t need…”

“Know.”

Craig nodded.

“Since the first experiment is nearing its end, you probably want to be as condescending as possible before checking the results.”

After deciding to cooperate with Falchion, there is no shortage of living due to the items they send.

Abundant supplies and steadily progressing experiments.

Even though everything is going as planned, Craig can’t help but feel that something is going wrong.

Maybe it’s because the first button of this whole thing was put wrong from the start.

The moment I refused the appeasement of the city council, I thought I was prepared for everything, but sometimes it was difficult to stop my resolution from shaking like this.

I shake my head and erase my shaking heart.

You shouldn’t leave any regrets on the road you’ve already run.

Even if it is a path drenched in the blood of innocents.

Didn’t you swear to throw everything away?

I just hope that this path he is walking right now is not a regret, but a path to the next one.

“The preparations for the deployment of the ‘territory’ you mentioned are complete. Let’s go to the workhouse.”

“……okay.”

Where Craig left.
