After tapping his shoes a few times and tidying up the hem of his coat, Lennok immediately moved on.
I slowly grabbed the glass door and opened it, feeling the cold feel of the glove on my palm.
At some point, I started to get used to wearing shoes and a shirt instead of jeans, but I have no major complaints.
It was clear that formal attire would help, even when working in these bloody streets.
A spacious lobby that you can see as soon as you open the door and enter.
Elegant letters drawn in large size on the back of the information desk.
[Antares mercenary corps]
I’ve been hearing a lot about it and even worked with mercenaries, but it’s the first time I’ve personally visited it.
Lennok didn’t know what Irina was thinking, but he also guessed that this shouldn’t drag on for too long.
And the estimate that the outstanding wizard drew after much thought was one step ahead of the expedition leader who had gone through all the battles.
day.
After all the preparations for today, Lennok was going to fight right away.
The preparation time is very tight. It was too much for Lennok to do everything in one day.
It was for that reason that he visited the mercenaries today.
He could feel some of the mercenaries who were chatting in the lobby looking back at Lennok.
I ignored that gaze and spoke to the staff sitting at the desk.
“Can you call someone?”
The employee checked Lennok’s face and immediately grinned.
“of course. Can I call Dylan?”
“………..”
He didn’t even say his name, but did he know who he was asking for?
The employee put his hand on the receiver and spoke succinctly.
“If you don’t know the Lightning Wizard in Area 49, you shouldn’t say you’re working for a mercenary. If you are waiting in the lobby, I will call you right away.”
Lennok listened to the conversations of the mercenaries around him while strengthening his magic power.
“That wizard. What is going on here?”
“I heard you’ve been quite busy lately, but I don’t think it sounded aimless.”
“Hmm… I’d like to work with you at least once, but it would be nice if we had a chance to see your skills.”
“Arthur. he’s a dangerous guy I heard that the inside of your hands is quite cruel… There must be a reason for Mila to wave her hands.”
“Where is that? If you do a good job, you are good.”
“There are many people who are curious about the magic he uses. If you’re good at it, you might be able to get some good information out of it.”
Hearing the gossip about him here and there, Lennok scratched his cheek in silence.
A look with a complex mix of vigilance and goodwill.
The contents of the conversation, which came and went in a barely audible voice, were words that could never be said without knowing the magician Van well.
Even among the mercenaries, if those standing on the front line recognized his face, it seemed that the time he had worked as a freelancer was not wasted.
I don’t think being famous is all that good, but in the end, in order to get what Lennok wants, shouldn’t he build a little more reputation and go up?
Just like now, I am out to entrust the work to the mercenaries rather than just being a freelancer who accepts orders.
While I was lost in thought, the door of the elevator on one side of the lobby burst open and a loud voice came out.
“half!!”
A tall physique with a strange mask that doesn’t show any face.
It is still the same as the tail with blades hanging all over the body.
Lennok laughed when he saw Dylan waving his hand.
said Dylan, grabbing two drinks from a nearby vending machine and tossing one to Lennok.
Of course, Lennok didn’t get his drink right.
Dylan shrugged his shoulders as he watched Lennok pick up the can that had fallen on the floor.
“A long time. What’s the point of showing your face after a year since I asked the mercenaries to come visit?”
“There was nothing to see, so there was nothing to come.”
“Besides, even if he came to visit me, the timing is like this… I was going to introduce you to the captain, but how did you come to visit me when I was on a business trip?”
“Leader? Hmm, that’s for sure… that’s unfortunate.”
I wanted to see the face of Antares, whom I had only heard about through rumors, but it was unfortunate that he was away again.
“Instead, Felix is keeping his seat, but would you like to see him? He said he met Mila at the botanical garden the other day.”
Lennok frowned at Dylan’s nonchalant reply.
“Is that woman even talking about that?”
“Felix told me? He said to the captain that he really wanted to bring you back sometime, and he talked to his heart’s content at a drinking party. Unlike the appearance of that nobleman, he is very talkative.”
“…”
He couldn’t quite imagine the majestic bird’s beak chattering nonstop, but Lennok was roughly convinced.
Come to think of it, even when I met him at the botanical garden, he was quite talkative.
“So anyway, the fact that you came here means you have something to see. Let’s talk about it.”
“It is not difficult. We’re looking for a couple of usable avant-gardes.”
“Hoh…. It’s kind of surprising that you’re looking for a avant-garde.”
Dylan’s voice became grave after hearing Lennok’s words.
There were a lot of things that Dylan knew quite a bit about Lennok that most people didn’t know.
Not only had he worked with Lennox several times, but he also often visited Jenny’s bar to pass the time.
Lennok doesn’t work single-handedly just because he wants to move alone.
The first request I made with him. Didn’t the factory that dealt with Croken Asilus manage to fight in harmony?
Contrary to his outward image, he doesn’t hate team play as much as he thought.
It’s just that there were many cases where the team members he had been with had fallen out due to various circumstances and had to work alone.
However, it must have been extremely unusual for Lennok, who preferred to handle work with his own abilities in a given environment if there was nothing else to do, to seek out a colleague to work with like this first.
At Dylan’s words, Lennok shrugged.
“What… can I smoke one?”
“Uh… is it possible to smoke indoors?”
Seeing Dylan suddenly bewildered, Lennok shook his head as he put in the tobacco he was about to take out.
“Sit down and talk.”
As Lennok said, he casually led him into a private room near the lobby.
“Hmm, you’re a guest, right?”
Ignore the bullshit Dylan and snap your fingers to block out nearby noise and interference.
Dylan’s voice changed slightly as he realized what Lennok had done.
“Looking at him doing this, it must be a really big deal…..”
“………..”
As expected, Dylan’s skills are real even though he looks like he was beaten by Jenny on a fictional day.
Just being able to sense the senses of the mana that Lenok is manipulating and being able to sense the atmosphere is enough to guess the extent of his mana-sensitive power.
I didn’t know anything in the past, and I was in a hurry to survive alone, so I didn’t notice it properly.
The fact that he fought against the Croken Asilus and saved his life was tantamount to proving Dylan’s skills.
Rather, compared to his skills, the fee he receives seems absurdly cheap.
Lennok didn’t come to see him for nothing.
Dylan O’Casey was one of the most powerful warriors Lennok had ever encountered.
