Madame (3)
A woman with a well-groomed appearance who came down the elevator.
Introducing herself as Clevia, she stood still with her head slightly lowered, waiting for an answer without even moving.
Lennok looked down at Clevia and calmed her magic.
Whoop… … !!
A bizarre scene where the magical energy that filled the entire lobby instantly converged into Lennok’s hand.
Lennok said, listening to the sighs of breathless freelancers everywhere.
“Did you know I was coming?”
The wizard’s gaze reflected on the tip of the silver staff shone sharply.
“sorry. It took me a while to prepare a present for my classmate.”
Clevia carefully took something out of her arms and held it out to Lennok.
A case containing unknown pills made by aggregating red powder.
“This?”
“It’s something that stimulates the body’s metabolism and increases appetite. It is called a deterrent among us because it reduces blood-sucking urges.”
Clevia smiled faintly as she said that. Sharp fangs peeked out from between her lips.
“There are many people who have converted from humans to vampires. The person in the back will need it.”
“….”
A vampire like Madam. Do you already know everything about what’s going on?
Then there was no need to say anything useless.
Lennok calmly took it, threw it to Rayan, and walked into the elevator.
The freelancers hardened their faces as Clevia politely guided Lennok in front of the elevator door.
The castle’s lobby has become a mess as if a storm swept through it. There was not a single device left that worked perfectly.
“In the end, you couldn’t even get your money’s worth….”
“Is it true that you were seriously injured in the first place? Does it make sense to do something like that with an injured body?”
“No, it must have been seriously injured.”
The eyes of the elderly man, who was contemplating the situation with his arms crossed, became heavy.
“I deliberately tried not to maintain my magical power for a long time and try to win in single combat. I’m sure it won’t last long.”
“What’s absurd is the power of fastness itself that can produce such an output with an injured body.”
The atmosphere in the lobby cooled down at the words someone muttered.
“If that’s something you do while injured, when you’re still in good shape….”
“…What the hell are you fighting with Madrid Onion?”
“It wasn’t a rumor that you might have reached level 8….”
“The important thing is the information itself that the dog is seriously injured and in critical condition.”
The eyes of the freelancers shone coldly.
“The fact that he showed up with a life support system must mean that he has no intention of hiding it.”
“In a little while, rumors will spread all over the city. I have to move quickly to deceive and sell valuable information.”
“Let’s report to Madam later and move first. I have to earn pocket money.”
Listening to the conversation of the freelancers in his ears, Lennok let out a laugh.
It was successful to create an alibi for being sick, but I didn’t know that they would scrape the information up to the bottom and try to sell it.
For now, I’ll have to be content with making an alibi so that Kyeonroe doesn’t have to be active in the city for the time being.
While Lennok pondered that, Clevia, who was the last to get on the elevator, raised her hand.
ugh!!
At that moment, the entire elevator, carved out of a huge crystal, began to move upwards.
Stable movement without any shaking even with four people on board. Recognizing the true nature of that power, Lennok’s eyes shone.
“He was a psychopath. That’s quite a level.”
“It’s a rare feat.”
“I didn’t know that this level of psychic powers would still remain in the shadows. The Balkans are vast.”
Evidence that Clevia herself is using an innate ability that works with mental power, unless she is a magic user who surpasses Lennok.
It was the first time he had seen a powerful psychic, and telekinesis of this level, so Lennok was intrigued.
In the case of telekinetic power, it is notorious for its superpower that is difficult to raise the hierarchy as much as its overwhelming versatility.
Wasn’t the broker Sebastian, the only telekinetic power Lennok knew, just moving a wine glass?
If that’s the case, no matter how high you set it, it’s at the level of the second tier.
However, it seemed unmistakable that this vampire who was guiding Lennok now must have been a telekinetic power of the 6th rank or higher.
“It is said that many high-ranking psychics cannot control their abilities and are gathering as a group to find a way.”
“….”
Lennok asked over the elevator rising toward the top floor of the castle.
“Could vampires be part of a way to control psychic powers? What do you think?”
“…I didn’t know you would be interested in supernatural powers.”
“Congenital anomalies can always be a powerful variable, so I’m paying attention. I’ve been through a lot actually.”
Clevia was silent for a moment before answering.
“It would be impossible. It’s just that I also inherited my superpowers through my bloodline abilities.”
“….”
“Inheriting bloodline abilities is a qualification granted to purebloods. It is difficult to expect that there will be meaningful results by turning into a vampire.”
Is it not a case of being born with supernatural powers, but merely inheriting the abilities of other vampires?
However, the fact that it is possible for pure-blood vampires to transfer their abilities to each other is very interesting.
Perhaps the bizarrely powerful and terrifying sense of deja vu of high-ranking vampires stems from that very characteristic.
“That’s a good answer. It was helpful.”
“I’m glad you liked the answer.”
Clevia said that and immediately led the two of them to the top floor of the huge mansion.
The top of the mansion built in the shape of a castle, almost 5 stories high.
The figures of people who used to live in hallways and rooms, laughing and chatting, quickly disappeared the higher up they went.
The moment you climb to the top floor, there is only a bizarrely desolate silence.
“….”
A hallway covered with carpets with an unknown aura that can be felt even vaguely.
As a vampire, Rayan also swallowed his saliva as if he had sensed something.
After passing countless doors on both sides, Clevia slowly opened the huge stone door at the end of the hallway.
A dark and spacious room tucked inside the door.
Only the faint candlelight illuminating the window on the wall dimly illuminates the room.
A splendid armchair placed in the deepest inner corner of a room full of shadows.
In the meantime, someone who was sitting buried in the middle of it quietly raised his head.
[Oh, I don’t know who this is.]
Even though it’s been a while since I’ve heard it, I still remember that vague tone.
A quiet voice came from behind the veil that seemed to reflect the face.
The parasol, which she had been wearing even in the middle of the night, was folded and placed next to her chair.
Although he is wearing a light shirt suitable for the house he lives in, there is no part of his skin directly exposed due to the gloves and veil on his hands.
[It’s been too long… … . I thought I forgot the invitation I sent you.]
I could feel a grin on the face through the foggy veil.
The longest-living broker and vampire in the city.
It is rumored that he enjoys working with talented freelancers.
It was only now that he met Madame Elebra Trivia again.
[The years are so fleeting. Isn’t it?]
She looked up at Lennok’s face and crossed her legs.
[It seems like it hasn’t been long since the invitation was handed out at the old factory site, but time has already passed like this… … .]
“It is not that I forgot. I just didn’t have time.”
[There was no time…. I’ll understand later. There are too many things you’ve done so far to think of it as an excuse.]
“….”
[Can I interpret it as a wizard who has attained the level of an 8th-level swordsman or has already reached the level of a great wizard?] The
madam shrugged and smiled quietly.
[It’s true that either way, we didn’t expect that our position would change this much. I will humbly admit it.]
Who could have thought that a wizard who had flown into the city only a few years ago would be such a ridiculous monster.
Even when handing out invitations, in Madame’s eyes, Lennok was nothing more than a wizard with extraordinary talent.
Lennok’s accomplishments were too abnormal to blame Madame’s ability for not predicting the two people’s reversed positions in the past few years.
However, when Lennok heard the madam’s words, he rather laughed.
“well. Wasn’t it rather embarrassing?”
[Yes?]
“Compared to overlapping activities, we had no contact with each other. It’s pretty strange to be a coincidence.”
[…] … .]
In a sense, Madame is a famous and powerful broker who cannot be compared to Jenny or Sebastian on this floor.
Unlike Sebastian, who mainly deals with VIPs, or Jenny, who mainly deals with high-value nomination requests through personal connections, she has handled and handled almost all fields.
But is it a coincidence that Madame was never involved while Lennok was involved with organizations like the Triumvirate?
Wasn’t it the result of the madam deliberately buying herself to not get involved with Lennok?
Lennok had vaguely guessed that, so he didn’t feel the need to go visit her with the madam’s invitation.
“I thought I wouldn’t be able to deal with it as I intended, so I increased the distance and tried to get closer when it became unavoidable…. Not in an incomprehensible way.”
Lennok, who sat down on the opposite chair without Madame’s permission, laughed.
“But it was too blatant.”
[…] … that’s right. I thought it was a mistake to give you an invitation.]
Lennok was a bit surprised by the cool admission that he hesitated for a moment.
The madam sighed and continued immediately.
[I hoped it wouldn’t come. If you want to stay on this floor for a long time, you shouldn’t get close to people who cause trouble.]
“Have you changed your mind now?”
[It was enough time to make up my mind. Don’t you think so?]
Lennox laughed at the clever madam’s reply.
I kept away from it because it seemed uncontrollable, but if the wizard became a giant beyond control, shouldn’t I change my mind?
It was a calculated way of thinking, but at least the attitude of the madam in talking about it honestly wasn’t bad.
The very fact that he spoke in this way was evidence of the kind of person Lennok had been paying close attention to and devoted to.
Sure enough, the madam’s mouth opened again immediately.
[I am aware of the situation. I’m responsible for all the problems with the blood mage boy.]
“Do you have any solutions in mind?”
[It’s difficult to guarantee that you can completely go back to before when you took the black blood.]
The madam answered calmly.
[That’s the legacy of a mutant who was born with a special talent among vampires, and it’s that hard to erase. You’ll need a long-term solution.]
“That means it’s difficult to quickly return to being a human.”
[If I had known the identity of the object, I would have acted more quickly…. It’s my mistake. In the process of transporting, there are often things that we shouldn’t get on our hands.]
“Rayan.”
“…okay.”
Rayan, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two at Lennok’s words, nodded with a firm expression.
He must have come this far to know that there is no other choice.
Rather, it was to the point where we should consider it fortunate that a method like this was found.
Madam said as she watched Clevia take Rayan out.
[I plan to provide education on the minimum required blood flow manipulation and not twisting of ideas. Even if you return to a human, it will be of considerable help to your achievement.]
“I see.”
[At least, the subconsciousness inherent in black blood won’t take over.]
“Okay. For now, that’s enough.”
Although Rayan intervened because of the unexpected incident of becoming a vampire, it is not so bad that the madam took over the responsibility itself.
It’s a vampire’s internal problem, and it would be better to entrust the solution to an expert who is familiar with this part.
[Then, now that the external justification has been moderately agreed upon, let’s get to the main topic?]
The madam slightly leans forward and puts her hands together. The veil draped over her face swayed faintly.
Lennok smiled bitterly at Madame’s words without realizing it.
“I knew.”
[What happened to the blood mage boy is a troublesome case, but it wasn’t something that you had to come to.]
She said as she tapped the armrest with her gloved hand.
[Rather, knowing that I had been avoiding contact with you for several years, I thought that the reason I came to you at this point was to ask for something else using the boy as an excuse. Am I overinterpreting it too much?]
“No, that’s correct.”
Maybe it’s because he’s a vampire who has lived as a broker for a long time.
When he first met Lennok, he must have been convinced and quickly sent Rayan and Clevia away while talking about the suspicions he had been worried about.
Solving Rayan’s problem is not unimportant, but it is not simply because of that that Madame came to visit.
A doctor in the field that Lennok is looking for. It was because the vampire in front of me was the one with the closest personal connections to the foremost authority in the field.
After confirming that he did not exist beyond the divergence of the open sea, Lennok felt the need to better understand his own body.
That opportunity was approaching Lennok’s eyes faster than he thought.
The madam nodded, scanning Lennok’s body up and down through her veil.
[I heard rumors that he was seriously injured. But now I see… … . It seems that it wasn’t just rumors.]
“Does that remind you of anything from seeing this?”
Madame nodded as Lennok raised the wand in his hand.
[Can I not know? The presence of artificial veins that act as gems and intravenous rings on the wand. It is exactly the same as the characteristics of the life support system that high-ranking mages often use as a second heart.]
“….”
[Artificial vein still wriggling in your wrist. It’s almost perfectly like a heartbeat. As a vampire, I can feel it more sensitively.]
“I see….”
Now I understand why the vampire I met then was convinced that Lennok’s wand was a life support device.
Because the movement of the wand, as seen by the vampire’s senses, was exactly the same as that of the life support system that replaces the role of the heart.
Maybe he changed his attitude in an instant because he was half convinced that there was no reason to carry such an object as a decoration.
After confirming that, Lennok immediately shortened the matter of needing a doctor.
The madam, who had been listening to Lennok’s words, laughed loudly.
[Miss Kaise’s intelligence is really impressive. Almost no one knows that I’m supporting them… … .]
“I want to get things done as quickly as possible. Can you help me?”
[great. But you know you can’t do it bare-mouthed, right?]
The madam said with her arms crossed.
[That person really hates meeting people he doesn’t know, so normally I wouldn’t do this.]
“….”
[However, please know that we are accepting this transaction only because we are responsible for the blood mage boy.]
“Let’s listen to the terms of the deal.”
[What I want is simple. I have no intention of making a sick person do troublesome things.]
It felt like the madam was smiling through the veil.
[I don’t know if you know it, but blood with magic power is a great delicacy for pure-blooded vampires like us.]
“….”
[The blood of a high-ranking super, and even that of a pure magician, is especially helpful in awakening our inspiration or intuition.]
Saying that, the madam pointed at the wall of the dark room with her gloved hand.
Hundreds of test tubes placed like wine in a huge glass case. There are various kinds of blood carefully stored in it.
There are quite a few test tubes filled with blood on the bottom shelf, but as you go up, you see tubes that don’t contain even a single drop.
Among them, the madam was pointing precisely at an empty corner on the top floor of the display case.
[A drop of blood from a level 8 wizard. A drop of blood voluntarily given by the owner of the blood is enough.]
“….”
Lennok realized what Madame was talking about and fell silent.
It was somewhat roundabout, but there was no need to ask whose blood she wanted.
“good night.”
[I knew you would refuse. Giving blood to a vampire in the first place… … Yes?]
The madam shrugged and jumped up from her seat.
[Really?]
