A new turning point (3)
Hireah put Lennok on a chair near the chapel, and she went back to the organ and started playing again.
“Wait a minute. I just moved to this city, so I need to make some adjustments.”
A faint, muted tone that seemed to be cut off, completely different from the magnificent music her original personality was playing.
Lennok listened quietly to the music, lost in thought.
‘It seems like it hasn’t been long since they settled down in this city.’
Lennok, who had been active in the shadows for a considerable amount of time, thought that no information had come in at all, so it seemed that it hadn’t been long since Hairea had arrived in the Balkans in the first place.
‘Is the organ itself related to Highrea’s ability? No, considering that he maintains two personalities, he might need some mental stability.’
Lennok knows that songs and music can be magically powerful catalysts and mediators.
In the labyrinth of Hanghasa, Jin Dun also used the spear stone to hide his cradle, and didn’t he make a song?
Maybe that’s why the Guido Church so eagerly sings the gospel to the gods-
“It’s over. I made you wait.”
widely!
Hireah stood up after a short performance and asked as she walked down the chapel.
“But it’s been almost three months since I heard from Myeong, and I didn’t expect that he would come to visit me now. Are you from somewhere far away from the Balkans?”
“what?”
Lennox asked in response to her completely unexpected words, then fell silent.
With just that brief conversation, Lennok was able to figure out how far Hyrea knew.
‘I don’t know who I am. Myeong didn’t tell me about my identity.’
It was true that Lennok wanted so much to come into Pandemonium and participate in the task, but he never told anyone who he was.
He didn’t know that even the pandemonium and the unknown broker who would arrange him wouldn’t be aware of Lennok’s identity.
Hireah confirmed Lennok’s reaction and slightly turned around.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to talk. After all, all I have to do is check their capabilities and see if they have the will and ability to work with us.”
“Those eyes.”
Lennok asked.
“Similar to the way your spider opened its eyes. Are you familiar with each other?”
“What, have you already met Agneta?”
Hyrea laughed.
“That would make the story much easier. It was she who connected my mind with this child’s body.”
“….”
“The work I do, which is receiving the benefits, is not very different from hers. Finding work and tasks that require Pandemonium across the continent and properly distributing work to those coming and going from around the region… … . In the process, it is also my responsibility to filter out and discriminate those who do not deserve it.”
“So, in other words…That means you’re acting as the pandemonium’s branch manager in this area.”
“I don’t know how meaningful that statement is, but if you want to think so.”
Hireah nodded meekly and said.
“Apart from maintaining a form close to a point organization, the existence of a middle management position is necessary. Of course, there are many people like you who don’t know who they are working with unless they know it from the beginning… … . Because that is not necessarily important.”
“Right….”
It is well known that Pandaemonium is overturning all over the continent to collect artifacts and technologies from the Old World.
The atmosphere of an organization that frees not only transcendent monsters such as Myung and Croken, but also strong people such as Doctors and Maiya.
I thought it was strangely out of control compared to its potential, but was it this way to fill the lack of manpower?
I didn’t know that they made their own line route in a completely different way from the shadows of megacities.
“In that sense, I want to confirm your intention one last time.”
Hireah asked while fiddling with the eyepatch in her hand.
“If you intend to work with us, we will go through the process. It is said that I came here on the recommendation of Myeong, but unless the captain gives permission, I have no choice but to do as I am bound by the contract.”
“Credentials….”
I think I know why Myeong recommended this kind of joining instead of telling Lennok’s identity.
At this point, the members of the Pandemonium simply recognize Lennok as an unknown magician wearing a mask.
Does it mean that it is okay to make a decision after seeing the Pandemonium in action in a place that has nothing to do with the reputation or status of fastness?
It is unknown whether Myung understood Lennok’s disposition or disposition so well and chose this type of invitation.
However, the situation I faced as the fourth identity that I unwillingly chose did not feel so bad.
Seeing the full face of Pandemonium with Lennok’s own eyes was, in a sense, what he had longed for.
Lennok nodded as he adjusted his mask.
“good. Shall we start with something light?”
Hireah’s eyes, which had been sitting sideways, turned back to white in an instant.
She raised her hand and pointed her fingers outside the church door.
“The man you met earlier. He’s the head of the warlords. Subdue it right now and bring it to me.”
* * *
“X-X-X-X!!”
coo!!
A bizarre figure with four limbs bent in the opposite direction.
The man, who had been twisting his body while spitting out double curses incessantly, let out a high-pitched noise.
“Are these fucking bastards doing things like this knowing who I am!!”
Although it was not properly tied, the man’s body, which broke all four limbs, could not move properly from the spot where it fell.
Hireah opened her mouth with the man splashing and staggering in all directions at her feet.
“Is it much faster than I thought?”
“He was hanging out on the edge of the block leading out of the cathedral.”
said Lennok, who was fiddling with the gap in the mask.
“If I left the area thinking I was the person responsible, I would have been going to interrogate you.”
“also…. This child went through a lot of trouble pretending not to know. In order for things to go smoothly in the future, I need to get rid of the obstacles in advance.”
Hireah rubbed her eyes with a tired expression.
“I can’t stay out for long either.”
“Abominable bastards…. After all, we were all in the same team, so you pretended not to know!!”
The man yelled for the cathedral to leave.
“The general is using his strength in various ways to directly communicate with you, Pandemonium, but I dare not see such grace!!!”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t want to play soldiers even on the central front.”
Wooddeuk!!
Hiera stepped on the man’s back and pressed it hard.
“You all just want to return to Arsnova and regain your former status. I don’t care what other people think.”
“What the fuck does that have to do with you guys!! As long as the end is the same, the means are… … !!”
“Isn’t your general from the aristocrats of the central city?”
The man’s rage stopped at the words that Hireah threw with a smile.
She looked down at the hardened man’s expression with an amused expression.
“A warlord formed by the fallen nobles of Arsnova…And yet, you still don’t know what lies dormant in this city. There is no need to see more.”
“What the hell does that mean….”
“The warlords will not be able to advance until the very end.”
At the same time as Hireah’s words fell, Lennok raised his mana.
The sorcerer and the shadow rising from under her feet turned into sharp skewers and she laughed.
“Well, your general wouldn’t know that anyway.”
“Shibaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
Pooh!!
Blood splattered on the old carpet in the cathedral.
“You’re pretty rough-mouthed for volunteering to be a soldier.”
“It’s because only some of the generals are from the nobility of the central city, and below that, they’re just playing soldiers with former soldiers.”
Hireah replied.
“On the central front, unless you are a fairly strong person, it’s better to use it like consumables and throw it away. In a way, it’s like you’ve got a smart head.”
“Right….”
Even as he said that, Lennok shook his head, thinking about what Hyrea had just said.
Even though he was a warlord formed by the nobility of the central city, he said in a tone that it was a disqualification to not pay attention to this city.
Hireah seemed to mumble, thinking that Lennok would not understand, but Lennok, who knew the truth about the project, could feel a sense of incongruity between them.
‘Pandaemonium knows that the cause of the central city’s destruction lies in the Balkans.’
And even though they knew that, they had no interest in the Black Consumer Project.
Is it because the answer the leader wants doesn’t exist in Vulcan’s secrets, or is it because he wants a completely different answer?
In order to get a clear answer to all those questions, I had to pay attention to where they were heading now.
While Lennok thought so, Hirea took a peek at it and asked.
“Operation series? It was a special class. There was a reason Myeong gave a different word.”
“…not physically capable. make sure of that.”
The extent to which one’s body magic is revealed can vary depending on the situation.
There was no need to make a conclusion here and leave an impression on Hireah.
Hireah looked at Lennok and smiled softly.
“good. Because I knew that my skills were clear and my hands were not soft. I just have something prepared for you.”
Having said that, Hyrea waved her fingers, and the body of the fallen man faded on the spot and disappeared.
Proof that she also has her own power, not just playing the role of a mere arranger.
She said as Lennok kept it in his head.
“Kaiushu, a mid-sized city in the southwest. It’s like a small country ruled and managed by superhumans. Information has come in that artifacts from the Old World have been found there.”
“Is that the first thing you do?”
It wasn’t strange enough to know that not only the captain but also monsters like Croken were stepping up to find relics and skills from the old world.
However, it was only that Hirea’s attitude, which only verified her skills and went to the main topic, felt peculiar.
Hireah smiled and nodded.
“The one who controls Kaiushu is Yanikus Barbaria, the 8th level superpower. He was an excellent warrior called Jebyeok, but rumors spread that he was in critical condition due to a long illness.”
“If I had reached the proper peak, I wouldn’t be weakened by a simple chronic disease.”
It was a remark that Lennok, who had just recently had a decisive battle with a proper superpower, couldn’t help but wonder.
However, Hireah flatly denied Lennok’s words.
“Like all 8 levels who are still alive, they are very old. There is information that he became seriously ill after taking the elixir without thinking about the side effects.”
“….”
“Kaiushu is located close to the free highland, so many rare medicinal herbs grow there. It is said that he acquired considerable wealth based on his resources and bought a lot of precious elixirs.”
I could tell without having to listen to what he said next.
“It means that among the gathered elixirs, the relics of the old world flowed in.”
“Tears of the Archangel. Among the relics of the Second World, it is one of the rare treasures that were treated as national treasures.”
Hireah closed her eyes as she said that.
“Sharing your sight will be okay for a moment, right?”
“try.”
Dig!!
I thought that it might not be eaten by Lenoch, which does not work with target designation magic, but it seems that it was simply a method of overlaying the reflected light on the retina.
With those words, the shape of a blue jewel in the shape of a tear began to appear in front of Lennok’s eyes.
It is about the size of a handful that fits snugly in the palm of your hand.
“It’s an item that increases magic recovery speed and bestows magical energy just by holding it. Originally, it was something that should never flow into the arms of the old woman at this point.”
Hireah spoke as she turned around in the air, reflecting the relic’s appearance.
“There is only one goal for this day. It is to steal or destroy Janicus Barbaria before he recognizes the existence of the elixir in his possession.”
“Take or destroy….”
“Of course, a head-to-head match is absolutely prohibited. At the point of discovery, I will give up the strategy and run away. No matter how much you lose your teeth, you don’t want to fight a strong man who controls a city, right?”
Hyrea added another word.
“The worst case is that the presence of the object is discovered by Jebyeok without even reaching the elixir. Not to mention that Pandaemonium is involved, and even the fact that you’re aiming for the elixir shouldn’t be discovered, you understand?”
“I’m sorry, but if you’re going to steal, you’d better get someone else.”
Lennok replied in a plaintive tone.
“I’ve done that job a few times, but it was due to unavoidable circumstances and I didn’t feel the aptitude. It will fail with a very high probability.”
When was the last time you tried to sneak in and steal something?
There was a time when he searched the drug lord’s safe in the Philenom Autonomous Territory, but that was also possible because the situation was somewhat favorable.
Although Lennok’s judgment and magical abilities may not be useless for stealing, it is natural that he has no knack for stealing things by moving his body.
Hireah replied as if she had been waiting for Lennok’s answer.
“You are not alone. A team has already been formed to carry out the operation.”
“It’s a team….”
“What you have to do in Kaiushu is not directly leading and executing the stealing of the elixir, but lending necessary force or magic in the meantime.”
At the same time as Hireah said that, she took out a small piece of paper from her chest.
She scribbled a few letters with a pen lying nearby and handed them to Lennok.
“It is the name of the team leader and the meeting place. When you arrive, you will be informed of the circumstances of the return.”
“…four days later I’ll have to leave by tomorrow so I can be on time.”
Wearing an eye patch in her hand, she smiled with her blind eyes.
“good luck.”
All she does is arrange things and give simple explanations.
Does this mean that collecting artifacts from the old world itself is an agenda that needs to be judged and dealt with directly on the spot?
Although I contacted Pandaemonium officials, I had no intention of taking her word for granted.
If Myeong had heard of Lennok’s existence, but he had arranged this mission, he must have had his own intentions.
After checking the situation on the spot, it is enough to get out if necessary.
The moment when Lennok was about to leave the cathedral thinking so.
“I forgot to ask you one question.”
Hireah, who was quietly looking at his back, asked.
“Your name?”
“…Victor.”
Lennok, who gave the name he had in the grimoire gang’s race, asked the opposite question.
“Come to think of it, I forgot to ask one too.”
“what?”
“The elixir of tears of an archangel. What are the benefits of direct consumption?”
Archangel’s Tears. Is it a mere illusion if it seems to be related to the relic wand of the archangel that Lennok is carrying?
Raul, the old warlock who had been helped by Lennok the other day, had mentioned artifacts that shared the name Archangel.
If the archangel series, which were known as one of the relics of the church, were actually treated as relics of the second world, which one did they really possess and obtain?
Hireah said before Lennok could think of it.
“It’s nothing. A simple but very powerful effect. It’s like a ray of light for the old monsters whose remaining time is running out.”
“Is it something like light?”
“It greatly increases the body’s regenerative power, lowers the activation of the body’s metabolism, and returns the cell death stage. In a word… … .”
Hyrea smiled brightly.
“They say it prolongs life.”
