Boaaaaang!!
After only one minute had passed.
Lennok was chasing the male and female freelancers from earlier in the same old jeep the couple were riding in.
There was no need to tell him what had happened to the man and woman couple who aimed guns at him.
This time, I put [Bloody Chase] on the woman’s blood and follow the direction as it is and run through the alley.
Unlike the man named Mount, the woman seemed to have the magical ability to notice Lennok’s magic, but she didn’t have the time to destroy it while being pursued like this.
I attach a thread dyed red to the windshield of the car and change direction as my head shakes.
Chasing a normal vehicle would have been difficult, but chasing a car without a rear wheel was quite possible even with Lennok’s rough driving skills.
As I drive up and down the worn-out alleys and through the narrow roads, I soon start to see a staggering car.
I stepped on the accelerator and crashed into it.
Kwaaaang!!
Along with the body of the car, Lennok’s body also shook violently, but the shield wrapped around his body was strangely crushed by Lennok’s magic control and prevented bruises.
I turned the steering wheel and threw the car to the side of the road and hit the door.
Woojijijik!!
The old stone walls are scratched away, and the front passenger door of the car is torn apart in an instant.
Hearing the mysterious shouts coming from inside, Lennog grinned.
I wanted to drive until the side of the car was completely smashed, but soon the narrow alley ended and an open vacant lot appeared.
The front yard of an old abandoned five-story abandoned building.
To the side, the same closed railroad tracks are long, rusty traces of the past.
As soon as there was space, the car quickly pulled sideways to escape the jeep’s head-butt.
A car could be seen running away, but instead of stepping on the accelerator once more, Lennok watched them leisurely.
‘There’s nowhere to run.’
Even before entering the vacant lot, the confirmation was completed with the magic power detection.
Lennok blocks the way back to the alley and the wide open railroad.
Unless the two of you intend to climb up the abandoned building and escape, you should stop here.
Even if he thought so, he wouldn’t want to turn his back on Lennok right in front of him.
And by now… it’s time to get drunk on the advantage of numerical superiority and stick your teeth in once in a while.
Unsurprisingly, the car, which had run smoothly while staggering, came to a halt and the car door burst open from the inside.
Instead of running away, the two of them got out of the car and began walking slowly towards Lennok.
Mount gnashed his teeth while rubbing the back of his sore neck.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been hit while driving. It’s been a long time since I thought of the old days. Thank you very much. ”
“Mount.”
“Trisya. do not dry Judging from how he’s been chasing this far without missing a beat, he’s a pretty good guy. I have to clean it up here and go.”
“……That’s not wrong.”
The woman called Trisha noticed the [Bloody Chase] that Lennok used on her, and raised her magic power to shake it off.
She, too, shot sharply at Lennok, raising her eyes.
“hey. Are you a freelancer too? Madison seems to have opened her hand anywhere because she was in a hurry, but the idiot who tried to sell the company secrets is now futile, but there is no use. Why are you interfering in what has already been done?”
“I wouldn’t have let Madison live if I had thought it would really end.”
Lennok replied sullenly.
“……what?”
“If the customer to buy the blueprints has already been saved, there is no reason to return Madison alive and well. Didn’t he need someone to put a dump on while he sold the blueprints elsewhere?”
It’s unfortunate, but that’s what it means to be hit in the back of the head on this floor.
If you risk your life for profit and loss and betray your faith once overturned on the street where it scatters like pieces of toilet paper, shouldn’t you do it properly?
In that sense, Mount and Trisha’s behavior after betraying Madison is extremely awkward.
At first glance, they seem to have been well-rounded on this floor, but it would be reasonable to assume that the reason Madison, who was so stupid, was saved with only a bruise on her lips, was not because they were suddenly equipped with sympathy, but for another reason.
And that meant that the blueprints were still in their hands.
Lennok, who took out a new tobacco from his pocket in preparation for battle, lightly flicked his hand.
“Give it up. If you leave it out now, it will save your life.”
Still, it was the maximum consideration Lenok could give to fellow freelancers.
However, it seemed that the two heard Lennok’s words very close.
“No, fuck really… This is the way to solve it in a good way. If you don’t know how to speak, we have no choice but to use our hands.”
From their point of view, who had a numerical superiority, Lennok’s high-handed attitude was completely incomprehensible.
It’s strange that we think of each other completely differently, but the words come and go.
And all three of them did not attach any meaning to the conversation.
Tricia muttered as she raised her magic with a murderous expression.
“Are you saying you can save lives? I’ll just kill you, so please take care of yourself!!”
Woooooo!!
At the same time, ten long strands of magic thread extending from her hands clung to the car in an instant, and started galloping toward Lennok like a wild horse.
Boaaaaang!!
As soon as Lennok saw her, he immediately realized what kind of magician Trisha was.
‘Operation class unique magic. It’s also a very sophisticated type. If it’s to the point of manipulating a vehicle from that distance and crashing it as it is…’
Earlier, I concentrated on identifying the two people’s presence in a hectic situation, including smoke bombs, so I couldn’t catch it, but if Trisha is a manipulation-type wizard, all the things that have happened since before Things are somewhat understandable.
The reason why a car without a person in the driver’s seat suddenly started and the reason why I managed to come this far even after one of the rear wheels broke was probably because of her presence.
Manipulation-type magic is notorious for requiring extremely precise technique among many spells, but it has the advantage of being able to respond flexibly to a wide variety of situations under the premise that it is capable of that much.
However, the difficulty of innate magic is high, and it is very difficult to increase the range and range of ‘Magician’, which is the basis of the manipulation series, so it was difficult to achieve greatness unless you are born with the related talent.
Or, like Lennok, he has the ability to reshape magic itself on the fly.
[Marionette]
Connect the magician stretched out with your index finger to the jeep standing behind you.
Increases the range and expands the scope of application by pouring magic into magicians whose range does not increase due to the limitations of common magic.
The headlights, which had been turned off, flashed on, and the jeep, which started in an instant, jumped forward.
Woooooo!!
crash.
Kwaaaaang!!
The bodies collided at an angle made a loud noise and bounced in different directions.
Scattered bumpers and body parts.
The images of a car narrowly passing Lenok and a jeep protruding far and crashing into an old abandoned building intersect.
Through the black smoke billowing from both sides of the car, I could see Trisha’s eyes widening as if tearing.
“Wait a minute… How do you use manipulation-type magic…”
“You idiot, focus!!”
Is it rather that sloppy-looking man who is awake?
Hearing Mount’s roar, Lennok immediately raised his mana.
Woo woo woo!!
Purple whips scattered in the air quickly shot out and aimed in the direction where the two were.
Both Mount and Trisha dodged the attack with ease, but the whip went far past the two of them and immediately
grabbed the steel bars of the abandoned building behind them.
Hey hey…!!
As the [Gravity Bind] mixes with the support of the abandoned building, which was shaken by the collision with the jeep that Lennok had hit, the strong gravity pulls the out of balance.
Tricia’s complexion turns white when she finally realizes Lennok’s intention, but it’s already too late.
Pull your arms back and grab them as they are.
The rebars of the old and rusty abandoned building could not resist the attraction and in an instant collapsed like dominoes and hit the empty lot.
Shield
Quaaaaaaang!!
The concrete supporting the walls crumbles and dozens or hundreds of rebars pour down inside.
The rusted rebars were smashed by the impact of the fall, and chunks of metal bounced in all directions.
Lennok, who made the plate as he wanted, immediately gave another big blow with his mana.
Whoa…!!
Take a step forward and stretch out wide.
The mana flowed from between the fingers takes the path of intense thoughts and images and transforms them into concrete forms.
Then, by quickly recombining the remaining magic power, a new blue bundle of lightning was drawn in the air.
[Lightning Bound]
Pajijijik!!!
As if dozens of bolt magics were condensed, an intensely sparkling sphere struck down.
The intense heat burst out with the intensity of light enough to instantly turn the darkening sky blue.
Aaaaaaa!!
As the rusted iron bars reacted greatly to the intense electric shock, currents of deep blue light flowed like waves, illuminating the ground.
A wide-area skill that can only be hit unless the skill is very good.
I didn’t touch the couple in the old jeep earlier, but these guys are different.
It was a goal directly related to Lennok’s work, and he had no intention of putting any slack in his hands against those who had a strong water that crashed the car body from the start.
“………”
It must have been a hit, but beyond the dust, there was only dead silence.
Lennok waited patiently, inhaling the smoke with a cigarette in his mouth.
I didn’t even think that I would die just this much, and even if I actually died, it would be difficult.
If the blueprints are not in their hands, they will have to borrow them to find a broker called Madam.
And the vital response to Lennok’s sensory sphere did not disappoint him.
Kwaaaaang!!
Like a mole breaking through the sand, the mount protruded from beneath Lennok’s feet and slammed his arm through the steel bars.
What he was holding in his hand was a straight sword resembling a sharp awl.
The blue magic light that blooms from the blade flows in a row and collides with Lennok’s shield.
Woojijijik!!
The number of days dug up with intense momentum tore apart the two layers of Lennok’s shield and burrowed in as it were.
Penetration is more than what it looks like on the surface.
Sensing the instant they collided, Lennok quickly took two steps back and hit the impact magic.
Turtle!!
At the same time, he took out his revolver and aimed at both of Mount’s shoulders, one by one.
Tattang!!
However, after the shock magic was moderately hit and spilled, Mount shook his body sideways to avoid the bullets fired by Lennok, and immediately pushed forward more.
“………”
It was a concise movement, but Lennok’s eyes sank coldly as he recognized Mount’s level with that one response.
From the fact that he let go of shock magic that he couldn’t even see properly, it means that he is no longer a normal person.
The reason why I dodged the bullets from the revolver was probably because I was worried that Lennok had played some trick rather than the bullet itself being a threat.
The third shield breaks through and immediately the fourth begins to shake.
Proof that the power of the couplet attacks that Mount uses with that awl-like sword is comparable to the strength of the bandit-like man he met in the harbor.
It was different from the past, where you could simply layer five shields on top of each other.
He gradually realizes that he is encountering an opponent with a higher level as an enemy.
Kwaji Jijik!!
Break through the fourth shield. If the fifth shield is breached, it is only a matter of time before Lennok is exposed naked.
Moreover, the fact that Trisha does not appear is also something that cannot be overlooked.
It wasn’t unusual for a crisis he faced from a lightly accepted request, but Lennok’s face was still as cold as ice.
Despite the opponent’s ability changing day by day, Lennok’s answer does not change.
I didn’t avoid it as I had originally planned, but just went forward.
Wasn’t the magical research that had been devoted for so long prepared for this moment?
Fuck!
At the same time as he snapped his fingers, the shield that was desperately resisting the mount’s attack flinched.
Wheein!!
In an instant, it began to rotate around an invisible starting point.
Kagagak!!
At first, the shield, which seemed to be simply vibrating, rotated like crazy as if the engine was running, and the mount bounced off in an instant.
As the hit points, which had been concentrated in one place, shifted, the blade of the mount lost its penetrating power and began to lose power.
‘Measures in case the shield breaks have been prepared for a long time.’
It’s just that there was no time to use it in the harbor.
The attack that the bandit-like man unleashed wasn’t just about breaking the shield, it was about to bury Lennok in the ground.
It was because getting out of the spot was more urgent than rotating the shield.
In the end, Mount, who failed to break through Lennok’s shield, quickly checked the retreat and moved.
It was only then that Lennok was able to properly determine what weapon Mount was holding in his hand.
It is not a blade, but an elongated awl resembling a drill.
Blue magic light leaked from between the slowly rotating rotating blades.
Wooooooooong..!!
With a weapon focused on penetrating power that much, could it be that he was able to dig down the shield in an instant?
It was also clear that Mount’s skills in handling such unusual weapons were formidable.
However, after the first raid failed, I have no intention of giving them a second chance.
“…Tch.”
Reluctantly biting his lip, Lennok lowered his mana and swung as he watched Mount step back.
Awesome…!!
In an instant, the ground they were stepping on froze, creating a white sheet of ice, and blue waves of lightning began to roll over it.
As the three foxes that came out of Lennok’s hand resonated violently, they held a net of lightning and narrowed the mount’s radius of action, and Lennok’s auxiliary magic holding a revolver filled the gap.
Tatatatang!!
Even though it is difficult to use firearms against superhumans, the story is different if the damage is accumulated by stacking auxiliary magic for each shot.
On the slippery ice, blood spurted from Mount’s thigh, which had been sluggish after being hit by a lightning net.
The moment when there was a crack in his always calm expression.
Kwaaaaang!!
A white object that appeared in the air broke the ice sheet Lennok had created and landed on the ground.
Lennok, who had been gathering his mana to respond immediately, stopped moving when he saw it.
It was because the appearance of the white object Trisha was riding was so bizarre that it was difficult to see.
Something that looked like a deer, but had no skin, only bones.
Riding on a creature that seemed difficult to call a creature, Trisha looked down at Lennok and radiated lifelike magic.
“If the blueprint tells you to hand it over, don’t you think it’s something that comes out of your chest? Let’s try it until someone starts looking around!!”
Ten strands of thread stretched from her hands clung to the skeletal body of the deer, and immediately the deer started running toward Lennok.
Doo doo doo!!
Not only the speed, but also the sense of weight felt from a distance is unusual.
Although it was smaller than the old car from earlier, the approaching intimidation was more than that.
Lennok, too, had no intention of standing still.
Pull out the [Gravity Bind], hook it on the deer’s paw, and pull it straight.
Woowook!!
As expected, the weight of the deer itself was very heavy, and as soon as it was tied to the whip due to gravity, its movement slowed down noticeably.
Trisha could feel her clenching her teeth, as if she hadn’t known that her movements would be hindered by a single magic spell, but the situation did not change.
I can feel the deer’s ferocity as it tries to run forward somehow, dig into the ground, and run into Lennok.
Lennox had some idea why Tricia was so reckless.
Manipulation-type magic generally requires very sophisticated skills, so even a slight change in the external environment can cause the magic to break.
Trisha is now determined to put an end to the battle by putting pressure on Lennok from the front, cutting off his magic entirely.
However, these are all tactics that can be established under the premise that Lennok is a manipulation-type magician like her.
And in the opposite case, it was a formula that could be applied to Trisha herself.
If you’ve come this far, you don’t have to wait any longer.
As if taking control of the space, she stretches out her magic power, and then grabs and twists all the magicians that Trisha stretched out.
Magic interference used against wizards.
Wood Deuk!!
As expected, it was not difficult to interfere with the manipulation sequence revealed by the magician, who requires delicate control ability and at the same time directly affects the realization of magic.
Udangtangtang!!
The shape of the white bone deer collapsed like a doll that lost its joints when the control magic was released.
Even Tricia’s eyes widened in disbelief among the countless bone fragments that were collapsing.
From the moment you lose your mobility, there is no way a battle will be established.
Lennok, who jumped up his mana and sent three lightning bolts, vigorously swung his five fingers.
The magician shimmering between her knuckles shimmered in the night air, and
at the same time, Trisha’s car, which had been pushed away by the first collision, ran into the owner with the headlights flashing and collided with it.
Kwaaaaang!!
“Keuuugh…!!”
Although she let out a painful moan, Trisha’s complexion looked fine even after allowing the collision of the body weighing more than 1 ton.
The moment the Bone Deer collapsed, it used manipulation-type magic in an instant to soften the impact by making the bone fragments into a huge bone shield.
Lennok’s eyebrows twitched as he confirmed his swift yet delicate magic manipulation ability.
It is the first time that the follow-up hit was not successful even after putting in magic interference.
That’s proof that Trisha’s magic control and ability to cope with situations are excellent.
Raising his alertness to the maximum, Lennok immediately drew a revolver from his waistband and pulled the trigger.
[Aim Correction]
[Acceleration]
[Intensify Burst]
Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!!
Six bullets fired while emptying a revolver’s magazine in an instant.
However, in the meantime, Mount, who ran quickly and blocked Trisha’s way, blocked half, and the other half lost power and hid behind the collapsed bone shield to avoid it.
“…”
You can tell just by watching that perfect breath.
talented person. They are also veterans who were hard to see among freelancers.
I opened the cylinder and slowly loaded the bullet while staring at my opponent.
Realizing that Lennok was no ordinary wizard, the two also stared at him with sharp eyes.
“Focus on Trisha.”
Mount said, breathing slowly.
“That is a monster.”
“Fuck….. I know.”
Trisha wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said in a trembling voice.
“I have to kill you here. You can’t run away twice.”
“……okay.”
Mount answered briefly and slowly stepped forward.
Tricia, who spread her magician widely, naturally assembled the broken bone fragments behind him and began to create something.
Woooo!!!
Correspondingly, Lennok slowly rotated his mana again.
‘……It reminds me of the days of the pharmaceutical company.’
2 to 1 against the front and rear forces.
The position is the same, but the difference in level between the opponents is clear.
But still Lennok’s head was spinning coldly.
‘Since you’ve used Magical Interference once, you won’t be easily defeated the second time. But it’s not like there’s no way.’
His wide-spread mana quickly scans all directions and finds the most effective and deadly tactic in this situation.
‘Kill one and capture the other. The important thing is timing.’
As soon as they finish thinking, the two of them move first.
Trisha’s hands began to move busily in all directions as Mount sprinted forward.
In an instant, a huge bony spear rose from behind her and shot at Lennok.
Wood Deuk!!
Before Lennok can react, it spreads like an umbrella in all directions, forming a lattice of bones and restricting movement while fixing the body to the ground.
Then, as the magic power of the mount that had accurately set the target fluctuated wildly, the awl-like blade he held began to rotate like crazy.
Madame
Wiiyiing…!!!
The upper body of Mount, who held the blade in reverse, leaned back greatly.
The bent upper body bounced vigorously like a spring, leaving only an afterimage, and a blue beam of light shot straight from the end of the swinging arm and sprinted toward Lenok.
Wedge love!!
And Lennok, who was accurately reading the timing with his magic power sensor, immediately slammed the magic power down his feet.
[Upper Ground]
The ground Lennok was standing on rises straight up.
Koo Goo Goo!!!
The javelin that Mount fired with all his might cuts through the air, and the bone prison that Trisha has delicately manipulated loses its support and collapses.
Lennok, who destroyed the two people’s target with a single spell, raised his mana one after another.
squeeze it in your hand
Powerful imagery becomes an intangible will as it is and turns into light that illuminates the night sky.
A blue flash of light shattered the moment.
[Thunder Calling]
Kwaaaaaang!!!
Trisha couldn’t escape.
Destructive power, visibility, and attention are all powerful enough to drain people’s souls.
However, it is a firepower magic that is perfect for harm if used incorrectly in that there is a certain precursor right before casting and that it forcibly draws attention.
That’s why Lennok always correctly differentiated the moment to use this magic and wielded it.
To bring a clear finish to a battle that has already ended.
Or a fleeting moment that determines victory in a fierce battle.
Just like now, it’s an oriental medicine to grab attention.
Pajijijijik!!
“Geuuuuuuuu!!!”
Mount, who had been looking up at Lennok from a distance, suddenly shuddered and began to scream in pain.
He, who had never suffered much damage from the electric net of three electric foxes, collapsed on the ground like a beast that was electrocuted and began to tremble without being touched by Lenok’s magic.
A very faint magician’s strand clung to his neck, and Lennok’s [Volt] magic spewed out with its original firepower.
At the same time as he turned his attention to [Thunder Calling], he succeeded in subduing the mount by bolting it to the strand of magician Lennok pulled out.
“Ugh…!!! Such a dog…!! Ugh!!”
Mount finally noticed the magician clinging to his body and struggled, but Lennok pulled out the shock magic and struck him in the back of the head.
Kwaaaang!!
In the end, only after confirming Mount, who frothed at the mouth and rolled his eyes, Lennok slowly calmed down the mana that was spewing out in all directions.
“Whoa….”
Slowly approaching the fallen Mount, turning over on his feet and rummaging in his arms.
A few crumpled bills. A few consumable artifacts that seem useful in various situations. A small dagger and a sleek handgun.
It is a configuration that a freelancer would carry, but not unusual.
Even though I cleaned out my pockets and even the inside of my shoes, only one more bottle of strange supplement came out.
“…Did I get it wrong?”
I thought it would be the mount side if I hid the blueprints because the wizard showed signs of stepping forward leaving the avant-garde behind, but it seems that I overestimated it.
I was half convinced of that and deliberately took care not to use too much magic on the mount… Was it useless effort?
Now that it’s like this, I have no choice but to ask Trisha, who planted Thunder Calling.
Fortunately, Trisha somehow survived the lightning strike Lennok dropped and survived.
As soon as they confirmed the signs of lightning falling, they dismantled the rebars on the floor and created a lightning rod in the air to disperse the destructive power of the lightning.
Of course, if Lennok hadn’t let go of the controls to capture Mount alive, it would have been reduced to ashes along with the lightning rod, but it was true that her improvisation worked in the end.
Because he couldn’t die, he became alive, but he could still be said to have escaped death.
“Cool…!!”
Although it is said to be of mixed blood, its firepower is strong enough to melt the head of a werewolf with a single attack.
No matter how much he made a lightning rod and dispersed the power, it was impossible to come out alive even if he weakened it that way.
As if revealing that fact, Tricia’s whole body was a mess.
The limbs are twisted in bizarre directions and stiff before the skin burns and peels off.
The internal organs must have shrunk so much that they can’t move at all.
However, even in the midst of this, the appearance of somehow holding on to the lifeline with the sophisticated magic management ability unique to manipulation-type wizards gave Lennok a different impression.
Lennok, who took out a new cigarette and sat down by her bedside, looked down at her.
“blueprint.”
“Heheh… you fucking bastard… cool cool cool!!”
Trisha, who had been coughing incessantly, let out a laugh.
“If you give it up now, it will save your life. Are you sure you don’t intend to blow up the lives of your comrades?”
As Lennok said that, he raised his index finger and pointed at Mount, who was still unconscious.
That motion, which did not generate any magic power, made Trisha flinch and let out a small sigh.
Slowly, her mouth opened.
“Whoa… It’s been a long time since I handed it over to Madame. As you said….. I haven’t found a customer to sell to yet…” ”
……..”
I expected it to some extent from the time they said that the robbers who betrayed Madison were freelancers. Hearing it in person made me feel annoyed.
Lennok held back his anger and contacted Sebastian with a summary of the information he had obtained so far.
There won’t be many brokers who use the nickname ‘Madam’ while working freelancers like this, so if you are a person with wide feet, you will be able to negotiate on your own before long.
All that remains is how to deal with these two people…
Lennok looked down at Trisha, who was getting quiet little by little, with a calm gaze.
The reluctance to kill an enemy who once risked his life to overcome has long since disappeared.
But even Lennok wasn’t sure if it would really benefit him to cut off Mount and Trisha right here and now.
No matter how filthy this street is, killing partners and betraying them are reluctant.
The reason they were able to stab Madison in the first place was because they were in a position where they were not afraid of repercussions even if he betrayed that he was a criminal leaking the company’s project.
When Lennok killed these two people, it was difficult to guess how the aftermath would come.
‘…..It’s a funny thing.’
Not a little time has passed since he made up his mind to live with resentment and vowed to rise to the top of the underworld, but his head still wants a reasonable result and forces rational judgment.
You must clearly identify your purpose and take a good look at the road.
Otherwise, the talent Lennok so trusted would take him in the wrong direction all too quickly.
Fortunately, Lennox’s worries did not last long.
The moment Tricia’s coughing sound completely disappeared, someone’s voice began to be heard in the air.
[Why don’t we take our hands off each other?]
“…….”
Yes. Actually, I kind of expected it.
If the existence of Madame was so deeply involved in this matter, it wouldn’t be strange if she planted at least one eye and looked this way.
However, she did not know that Madame herself would come to this place herself.
As I turned my head in the direction the voice came from, a woman approached and closed the distance.
Despite the dark night, a small parasol draped over her shoulder and a black trench coat that went all the way down to her toes.
Even the black veil that completely covered the face.
There was a woman who seemed to have made a suspicious vessel out of silk and wrapped it around her body.
She glanced back at Lennok and continued.
[I seem to have vented my anger with my weak children, but I want to get it back before I die. They’re too wasteful toys to break right now.]
“You must know what I want, right?”
[I’m impatient.]
“………”
[But you have the qualifications to talk like that. Take it.]
After saying that, the woman took out a thick paper file from her bosom and tossed it.
At that moment, dark red blood gushed out of the air, and he grabbed the file iron and slid all the way down, putting it down in front of Lennok.
The appearance and movement of blood flow that is hard to believe even with the naked eye.
A natural talent similar to, but completely different from, a blood mage who uses spells to control blood.
muttered Lennok as he picked up the file.
“Vampires seem to be good at brokering these days.”
[I just do what suits my aptitude. Will I be able to get Tricia back soon?]
Lennok silently moved out of the way so that the blood she drew could touch Trisha’s body.
Red blood flowed into her mouth, now completely unconscious, and her breathing soon stabilized.
“………”
It was a bit embarrassing to look at.
The madam, who skillfully controlled the blood flow and transported the two, turned to Lennok.
“There is something I want to ask you.”
[As long as it’s not a very sensitive question.]
“…..Why did you give up on the blueprint so easily? Isn’t it too futile to give out the blueprints for a plan that was promoted while holding hands with the development team of Ottoble?”
As Lennok said, he shook the blueprint in his hand.
Madame didn’t say anything, but judging from the situation so far, it was obvious who would have thought of collaborating with Madison to steal the blueprint.
In other words, I couldn’t understand her position of giving up work because only two freelancers under her command were in danger of dying while she had been leading Zalman’s plan so far.
Madame shook her body vaguely when she heard Lennok’s question.
Like holding back a laugh.
[Why do I have to tell you that kind of thing?]
If you don’t want to talk about it, there’s no point.
It just seemed that the question could not be answered if it were not now.
Madame confirmed Lennok’s calm expression and her eyes shone.
[I heard that Jenny picked up the gemstone, but it was a false rumor. It’s already on the verge of being completed.]
“……..”
[It’s a story that has no meaning now, so to speak… that’s right. I didn’t find it worth keeping the blueprints for anymore. It was much harder to find a vendor than I thought.]
She obediently told me why this deal was made.
[Sebastian Because of that little guy’s quick movements, the fact that this blueprint I was holding was a new development project from Auterble spread everywhere. In addition, the fact that the blueprint was quite different from the direction Auterble was pursuing previously worked as a demerit for this side. I have no choice but to say that I was unlucky in many ways.]
The madam’s eyes shone red through the veil as she said that.
It was a calm tone, but it seemed that he was feeling quite annoyed by this incident.
But even that, in an instant, the madam, who calmed the agitation, stroked Tricia’s drooping head.
[This child is a friend with quite a unique talent among the children I have. Of course, it’s not comparable to a genius like you, but he has a talent that can be eaten on this floor in his own way. It wouldn’t be a bad deal if you could save such a child with a few scraps of paper that have lost their value.]
“…..That’s right.”
Lennok inadvertently agreed to what the madam said.
In fact, Lennok was also a little surprised by Trisha’s magical talent.
It’s meaningless to compare him with all the talents related to magic to the limit, but it’s definitely a rare talent that Lennok can handle manipulation-type magic that requires some attention when using it so skillfully.
Even more so when you consider that she tried to go head-to-head with Lennok from the front instead of supporting Mount from the rear.
You can tell just by looking at his strong spirit and boldness.
She will undoubtedly be able to become a higher level wizard than she is now.
At least among wizards that Lennok had seen in person, he had a talent that could be counted on one hand.
Even considering the extreme variance among the wizards he saw.
The madam, who was about to turn around and disappear, stops.
[ah. I forgot to give this to you.]
Internal circumstances
When the madam waved her hands in the same way as before, a flower formed in the red bloody water, and something appeared from the inner peak.
I was trying so hard to deliver something great, but what appeared from the inside was a picture.
[There are rumors that there was a fight with the thugs from District 48 at Jenny’s bar.]
Lennok silently picked up the picture she handed him.
A waterspout of lightning flashed bright blue beyond a single photograph against a hazy night sky.
[This is a picture of a battle in which the boss of the cigar bang gang participated. I got it through my children, so it won’t be information on the market.]
“……….”
Lennok ignored the madam’s words and carefully looked at the dragon condensation in the photo.
Of course, this is not a simple natural phenomenon. It wasn’t even common magic that Lennok could use.
Lightning class unique magic. Among them, an applied skill that can only be used by wizards who have reached a considerable level.
Arcane magic that the current Lennok did not possess.
Madame’s belated words add confidence to Lennok’s guess.
[I heard rumors that you are a very talented lightning mage. I brought it to see if you’ll be interested in it. I wonder if you like it.]
Lennok was silent when she asked, knowing the answer.
“…This must have nothing to do with the price of the transaction. Why do you have to tell me?”
It goes without saying how important the information that the boss of the gang had learned the lightning-type unique magic was to Lennok.
If the collaboration with Dyke continues like this, it means that Lennok may meet a lightning-type wizard for the first time in this world.
And it might be a new breakthrough for his blocked magic research.
[I like talented people.]
I can’t see her, but I can see her smiling lightly through the veil.
[How beautiful are the flowers that have not bloomed yet, and how fleeting they are. Do I really need to explain? Let’s say it’s a greeting to meet such a talent.]
The madam wasn’t finished talking, but Lennok immediately realized what she wanted to say.
Interest and greed for talent.
If he had expressed such feelings openly, there was no way he wouldn’t be greedy for Lennok right in front of him.
[If you have a talent like that, you will be able to bloom alone someday without anyone’s help. It seems like he already knows a little bit about himself.]
“………..”
[But I can make flowers that are much more beautiful than you think. Please know that I’m not giving.]
After checking Lennok’s expression, the madam turned around with a look of satisfaction.
[Don’t be shy, come visit the castle sometime.]
There were no further questions and answers.
It took an instant for Madame’s figure to disappear from the spot.
Lennok let out a small sigh when he realized that she had vanished by leaping hundreds of meters in a single moment with his strong magic power detection ability.
A vampire so powerful that it is hard to believe that he is working as a broker.
He is a force that cannot even be compared to Jude Russell, whom he faced.
It seems to be the vampire side that has lived for a very long time, but I don’t understand why a person like that is stepping into this industry.
The offer she made was quite enticing, but Lennok didn’t make the mistake of naively believing her words.
Giving a favor without any price on this floor was as fleeting as a flower blooming in mud.
And Lennok had no idea that Madame was such a flower.
Just passing it off as a common broker’s scout was enough.
Lennok chewed another stick of tobacco, then wordlessly opened the blueprint and examined the contents inside.
“……This is what it meant.”
Did you say that the blueprint was different from the direction Auterble was pursuing?
As soon as Lennok saw the blueprint, he immediately understood what it meant.
On the inside of the paper, a large motorcycle with two-wheel drive was drawn very delicately.
The identity of the new project being pursued by Autoble, which is famous as an automobile company, was the expansion of the product line.
“Bikes…”
Lennok looked down at the blueprints and smiled.
Wasn’t it too difficult for Lenok, who had no means of transportation, to covet from the start?
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to buy one if the kite comes in later, but it wasn’t a matter to seriously think about right now.
‘At least until I have a means or magic to safely escape from the means of transportation, I should refrain.’
The more I thought about it, the more research on movement magic was desperately needed.
Recently, as he had been dealing with people who seemed to be on the same line even from Lennok’s point of view, it seemed necessary to devise a little more countermeasures in case of an emergency.
There is no shortage of preparation and prevention.
Lennok, who was behind the wheel of the jeep whose front part had completely fallen off, put a cigarette in his left hand and let out a long puff of smoke.
Buaang!!
Step on the accelerator and quickly get out of the vacant lot.
In the middle of the night when the work was over, in the front yard of the abandoned building, there was only one car with one wheel missing.
