Unemployed (2)
– The message was delivered through Achilles Headquarters.
Panoa’s calm voice came over the phone.
-It’s as Van said. I really didn’t know that they would deliver the message directly.
“Because Madric himself said so himself.”
-You must know that sending such a message itself is leaving evidence against them… … It seems you have completely mastered Achilles.
Now that the confrontation between the two companies is at a stalemate, the act of delivering a message from Achilles is the same as officially acknowledging that they worked hand in hand with Madchiri.
It was not strange that Panoa was surprised by the reaction of those who took such a risk to convey the message.
Lennok answered with the handset tucked over one shoulder and restlessly moving his hand.
“Because you know from the moment you join the project that there is no going back. As long as you noticed from this side, there’s no need to hide it.”
-…As a security company, Achilles is famous for rigid decision-making independent of technology. To think that such people could change this much with just the presence of Madrid… … .
Could it be that the movement of those who overturned their existing stance overnight felt unfamiliar to Panoa?
Since she thought she knew well about the competitors who were active in the sun, it would be a bigger blow when she was poked at a gap like this.
Lennok was able to understand Panoa’s feelings to some extent, so he agreed appropriately.
“He has been active since the days when the prohibition law did not exist. It should not be surprising in itself that Achilles’ judgment has become rational.”
-….
“It’s just that their actions were unusually quick right after the law was lifted. So, what message did you give me?”
-The building address and appointment time in the central area. It’s marked about a week from now.
“late.”
Lennok shook his head with a single knife.
“I was just in case, but I’m thinking of dragging this side here and there with the project as bait. If you agree to this, you will be cooperating with them until they complete a new project.”
-It is true that many options have disappeared since Van contacted Madrich Onion himself. However, in the current situation, if we continue the war with Achilles… … .
The proportion of Dyke and Achilles in their respective businesses is a level that is difficult to replace with another company or company, and in the end, it is highly likely that the city government will force intervention before one of them collapses.
It is said that only in the operation in which Lennok participated can victory be achieved with a very high probability, but in a situation where the production facilities in the shadows have already been taken, can continuing a local war of attrition be the answer?
The more time is spent waiting for the city government’s coordination, the more advantageous it is to Achilles.
“There is not always a straight method to untie a complicated knot.”
Saying that, Lennok averted his gaze.
“Now we are moving to find that shortcut.”
-…All right.
After a brief phone call with Panoa, Lennok brushed off his soiled hands and put the phone in his pocket.
“So, are you feeling better now?”
“…yet.”
A slightly subdued voice came from behind Lennok’s workbench.
A wide-open vegetable garden inside a huge vinyl house.
In the meantime, Evelyn, who was squatting down and pulling out carrots one by one, glanced at Lennok and muttered,
“If you help me organize the garden a little more, it might be solved.”
“Actually, I was feeling a bit responsible until I came here….”
Saying that, Lennok looked up at the ceiling of the gigantic vinyl house that stretched out above his head.
A vast mound of earth spreading far below your feet and strangely shaped plants growing everywhere.
In the midst of being busy with agents and watchers, when did I ever make a huge vegetable garden like this again?
Lennok murmured as he trimmed the countless carrot roots on the workbench.
“Somehow, I seem to be more and more convinced of the agent’s decision.”
“It can’t be…!”
Evelyn cried out in a low voice.
“This is just a hobby!”
“Even if you say so.”
As Lennok answered Evelyn, he thought back to what she had been doing.
agent’s palace. Watch the blue eye. The owner of a vegetable shop in the local market.
Lennok, who had been imagining the life of the woman who had actually worked three jobs, tilted his head to one side.
“Honestly, I lasted quite a while even you think…?”
“no!!”
Looking at the short black hair that denied reality and shook his head, Lennok laughed.
“It is a joke. There’s no way you’ll be fired from your agent just because of that.”
Toss the trimmed carrots into the basket behind the workbench.
Already in the back of the garden, neatly trimmed vegetables were piled up like a mountain, waiting to be transported.
“The law has been lifted and other special agencies have been able to intervene in shadowy affairs. At this point, would it be too much of an imagination if the ace of the on-site response team was put on the wrong side and suspended in order to keep the agent in check?”
“….”
“It would have been a good excuse to stay in the North Continent longer than the scheduled love song, and it is also a suitable procedure for political quality to keep the agent in check and take away its power. Actually, thinking about that makes me feel a bit responsible… … .”
“I was considering the matters related to discipline to some extent.”
Evelyn pouted and said.
“But thanks to the director intervening on his own and drastically raising the level of my discipline, I became an unemployed man….”
Evelyn murmured miserably as she nibbled at the carrots she had just shaken off the dirt.
Lennok shook his head and turned around as he watched her wring a carrot with both hands like a rabbit.
“So now I’m just a vegetable seller.”
“…no!”
“I was growing such a huge garden with the money I earned while working as an agent. It was because I prepared for life after retirement too quickly.”
“Are you going to keep saying that?”
It’s true that Ibelin’s denial and denial was a lot more fun than I thought, so it took a long time.
I teased him in moderation, so I should calm him down enough and get to the point.
Lennok thought so and softened his tone slightly.
“I said something like this, but I will be able to come back soon. No organization wants to lose an archer like you.”
“…Is it too?”
“To be honest, the initiative in the relationship between you and the agent, Evelyn, actually does not belong to you.”
Evelyn Marcia is an outstanding superhuman.
A strong man who can do his part in any situation, regardless of the level of high rank and strong military power, and stands in a unique position in his own special field.
Even in the shadows, there are many people who admire her character, who has a sense of duty and responsibility commensurate with her outstanding skills.
If she really intends to leave the public office, it wouldn’t be strange if a struggle broke out between organizations to recruit Evelyn.
No matter how attached the director of the agent was to the organization he was in charge of, no sane person would treat talent like her carelessly.
“It was a nominal dismissal, and it was probably a severe punishment close to suspension. It’s just for show, so don’t worry too much.”
“I will, but….”
“If that doesn’t work, let’s start a new life as a freelancer in District 49. If I take you, we can bet how many somersaults Jenny will do.”
“Ahaha what is that?”
Evelyn’s weak smile. It’s not like she doesn’t understand what’s going on.
In particular, there was no way that Deputy Director Palad Okon, who had worked with her for a long time, had not explained this situation.
However, it is unavoidable that Evelyn feels sorry for the agent about this disposition in a situation where another special agency is in check.
I guessed that she would rather hear empty consolation than clear analysis or solutions.
Lennok responded by tossing her a properly trimmed carrot.
“Whoa…. It’s not that I don’t want to see that prickly woman do somersaults, but I’ll refuse.”
Evelyn let out a small sigh and stood up from her seat with a slightly cheered up expression.
“You can’t force a broker who, at first glance, has nothing to do with sports, to do too much.”
“It’s a pity that Jenny doesn’t appreciate your thoughtful consideration.”
“good. Then, shall we talk soon?”
Paang!!
At the same time as Evelyn stomped her feet lightly, a green wave centered around her lightly stirred the entire earthen floor.
At the same time, vegetables buried deep in the field slightly protruded out to make it easier to pick them out.
“Madric Onion. Did you contact me about that?”
She finished harvesting the vegetables buried in the garden in an instant and wiped her forehead with her gloved hand.
“You want to know where he lives?”
“Because the more time you drag out, the more likely it is that things will get complicated.”
Even after being dismissed as an agent, did he still hear all about the city?
Lennok nodded, thinking there was no need to speak further.
“If the city council starts intervening in this matter, it will be difficult for me to move. I want to get things done quickly before that happens.”
“I heard that Dyke and the Cartel started working together against Achilles. If attention is drawn to the dispute between the dark side and the bright side, things will get complicated… … .”
“Originally, the composition was intended from this side, but the story changed as Madric moved faster than expected.”
said Lennok, tidying up the workbench and reaching for the baskets of vegetables stacked in the back of the garden.
“The intention to waste time is overly blatant. I’d rather go looking for him myself than be dragged along by their tricks.”
“…Onion-nim has never been seen in person in the decades he served as Chief Justice.”
Evelyn said with a slightly troubled expression.
“He knows that too, so he must be using a conversation with himself as bait to drag you around.”
“The position is secured. All that remains is to confirm.”
“…what? How the hell?”
If you find and face Madrich’s body, he will react in some way.
It is almost the only way to reach the goal by putting aside the problems of this increasingly complex situation once and for all.
Cutting the tangled knots might not be the best way, Lennok knew, but it could be the second best.
“The problem is that the location is outside of a megalopolis and in an environment that is completely unexpected…I would like to hear from an expert.”
“Where are the secured coordinates?”
“It is the sea.”
Lennok replied.
“A seaside located in the southeast of the undeveloped district. It is said that it was once a sea area that belonged to the Balkan territorial sphere, and that it was the place where the naval power directly under the municipal government was located, now completely disbanded.”
“…Naval power?”
Lennok asked slowly, looking at Ibelin, who looked a little shocked.
“Can you confirm that there are closed military installations near these waters that are not recorded on the city’s maps?”
* * *
After shaking off the soil mixed with the harvested vegetables and arranging the roots, remove the items that seem useless.
The landscape is well organized at a glance on top of a basket piled like a mountain. Lennok raised his hand again.
charleureuk!!
Following the hand gestures, several strands of magicians move smoothly, constantly brushing off soil from vegetables, arranging, and sorting.
It was exquisitely balanced according to the shape and size of various vegetables, and a tall tower was built between the baskets.
Evelyn, who was talking on the phone in the middle of the conversation, approached Lennok as he moved piles of neatly sorted vegetables onto several large carts.
“I found someone who can guide me around.”
“Does anyone know the exact location?”
“I am a person working in the agent security department, and I am a Navy veteran directly under the city government. You may not know the proper location, but you will be familiar with the terrain, so it will be helpful.”
Evelyn hung up the phone and started writing a message.
“I told the deputy director and decided to replace the promotion test there with this guidance job. I will do my best… … . But is it really okay if I don’t go with you?”
Evelyn looked up at Lennok with a sharp gaze.
“The magic power is too unstable. The new magic system you told me about at that time. Aren’t you finished yet?”
“…yes.”
Lennok smiled bitterly and nodded.
“But that’s not because my research is lacking, it’s because what I have to include has increased in the meantime.”
The problem is not that there is not enough power, but that it overflows excessively.
After deciding to create a new magic system, Lennok acquired more than one or two new abilities.
Not only did he start research on Oliviera and Mystic Eyes, but he also improved his understanding of the imaginary dimension through the battle with Ayun, the 3rd president, and understood military spirits through his encounter with Madrich.
While clashing with Graham, who was the technical team leader of Achilles, and replacing, arranging, and refining the partial deployment of the magnetic realm and the magic defense system, the power that Lennok needed to contain in his vessel continued to increase.
Is it Lennok’s greed to reorganize all the power and order that are increasing day by day under one law?
However, it is also true that the conviction that only such will and arrogant determination can transcend the hierarchy coexists.
“It is not difficult to decide where to focus in the end if it is a matter of process rather than outcome. However, it is also true that the answer is postponed.”
Saying that, Lennok grabbed the handle of the cart and began to slowly push it forward.
squeaky!!
At the same time, other carts connected by magicians move in unison and pass through the vast vinyl house in perfect order.
“Once you meet such a magician, you will at least be able to draw conclusions about the magic system in some way.”
It is the way to face the fully completed 8th level supreme ability.
If it’s not intentional by Madrich himself, it’s likely to be an uninvited visit.
However, even if the conversation ended in battle, Lennok assumed that there would be something he could learn greatly from that alone.
“It’s too dangerous. If I go with you, it’s at least about getting things sorted out… … .”
“Your suspension is the result of a power struggle between the agent and other special agencies.”
Lennok cut her off.
“At this point, if the circumstances of meddling in Madrid’s affairs are discovered, I may not really be able to return to my agent.”
“I know that, but….”
Apart from accepting her help, Lennok had no intention of disrupting Eveline’s work or life.
It is not the trust and cooperation that Lennok and Evelyn tacitly agreed upon and exchanged.
He doesn’t want to make the reckless decision to help Lennok when he still feels that he owes her something.
In addition, in the long run, it would be mutually beneficial for her to remain as an agent.
Perhaps she understood what Lennok was saying, she let out a small sigh, lifted her cell phone, and said,
“The borrowing process is over. What time are you going to do it?”
“As long as we have secured the location of Madrid, we won’t have to drag it out for long. I plan to check the coordinates I found out as soon as possible and move.”
The most important thing is to hear about the inside story of the project and follow the trail of Alkaid.
And the situation of Dyke and the cartel is to be sorted out as quickly as possible to give them time to deal with it.
Considering that Madrich had a week to spare, he had to finish the chase faster than that and find the commander in order to crush the purpose.
Hearing the truth about the project came next.
“Tomorrow evening, tell them to meet at Area 57, which is closest to the undeveloped waterfront.”
Lennok said that and smiled at Evelyn.
“I need one last time to get ready.”
“preparation?”
“It’s because I learned how to do fun things while going through various things recently.”
Time and place Equipment and consumables Alibi and circumstantial evidence.
All that remains is to gather up Lennok’s strength and go to Madrid.
Before heading to the sea area where the warlords of Madrid were gathering, Lennok had one last thought of trying his hand at space-manipulating magic.
Combining the newly obtained catches so far might be a clue to combat mobility, which has been a problem for a long time.
