Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 202
Introduction (1)
It is a hard day.
At least it was enough for Lennok to feel that way.
Originally, the schedule that should have ended with the promise with Antares would flow here.
Since this is not something that Lennok handles alone, it is unavoidable that unexpected variables will arise, but
as usual, there are certain days when work is crowded.
Lennok tilted his head slightly and looked up at the robot head standing in front of him.
“I am here!!!”
The loud voice of the male singer resounded loudly in the bar.
“… … .”
The figure of Jenny, with both hands covering her ears and frowning, represented Lennok’s feelings.
“There friend!! It looks like you’ve been through a lot of hard work. But now there is nothing to worry about. I came here myself to help you!!”
“Manson.”
Lennok replied plaintively.
“Don’t be mean, just talk about the point.”
“… … .”
After handing over the injured Wei An to Dray, Lennok turned his head after confirming that Jordan had gone up to the office to rest.
“You’re a son of a bitch who would just stick to the cartel and suck up their money in this situation.”
“oh… … . You’ve got some crazy misunderstandings about me. This hurts my heart.”
The sight of Manson shaking his head and hugging himself with both hands was truly spectacle.
“And weren’t you a man?”
Surprisingly, the body under the robot’s head was not a man’s.
Manson came to Jenny’s bar this time as a woman. It was also a huge female body that was taller than Lennok.
“At the boundary between body and soul, gender doesn’t matter at all. I am always aiming for neutrality!”
“… … .”
I noticed when I heard that he had replaced his head with a machine to control the amount of information coming into his head, but he is an extraordinary guy in many ways.
Do multi-body fit people have a hardship to match?
A similar constitution is of a kind that is extremely rare even in this large city, and neither Lennok nor Jenny knew otherwise.
In any case, that flimsy excuse didn’t explain why he was siding with Lennok at this point.
“Stop talking bullshit and tell me why you’re suddenly trying to join us. Aren’t we on good terms?”
“hmm.”
Manson scratched his steel head in silence at Jenny’s cold words.
“Actually, I’ve been wandering around a little bit arbitrarily lately. These days, the requests coming in here aren’t very good.”
Here’s how Manson explained it:
The terrorism of the warlock Craig Tillian centered on Reisen, a Senator of the city council.
At the time, Manson took Reisen’s request and took his side to carry out several tasks, but when Reisen was dismissed due to all sorts of suspicions along with slush funds, he became a kinship with him.
Even in normal times, there were many clients who did not trust him because of his bizarre behavior.
If it ended there, there would have been people who would have hired Manson because of his skills.
After that, it seems that rumors that you can’t believe it are lined up as you raise the hand of strange clients one after another.
It’s okay to reveal the money, but wouldn’t it be reluctant to do it in its own way if the clients involved with him were all bad guys.
Because of Manson’s usual reputation, the unit price was relatively low among freelancers of similar skill, but no matter how cheap it was, there was a law.
“So no matter how much it is me, I felt the need to restore the lost trust.”
Basically, many of the clients have a crush on Kaise, so he calculated that his reputation would improve if he worked by Jenny’s side.
“In addition, I heard that the people you are dealing with are a cartel? I have a little bit of a relationship there. If those unlucky suits are my opponents, I think I can do my best!!”
“Right.”
In addition to simply using Jenny’s connections to raise her reputation, did she mean that she always harbored a grudge against the cartel?
Anyway, in a situation where the relationship with the cartel had fallen out, the admirable mind that he would intervene in this game and take rice cakes could be seen.
Lennok and Jenny looked at each other and nodded.
“Turn off because you don’t need it.”
Jenny replied with a cold face.
Manson screamed, clutching his head with both hands.
“I hate it-!! This is a bit different from what I expected?!”
“What do you trust and hire someone like you to use, you idiot?”
The fact that the multiple bodies he possesses can perform various roles depending on the situation is a definite strength.
In addition, it is true that Manson’s own skills are never inferior to other freelancers, but as Manson said, his trust was at a level that could not be guaranteed anywhere.
“Of course, I have no intention of accepting the full price. Why don’t we try something together and decide?”
As Manson said, he raised his arms and showed off his muscles.
I didn’t feel that muscular because I had a different body.
“Even after seeing this, I am confident in killing people!!”
“… … .”
Jenny looked up at Lennok in silence.
In the end, it must mean that he must decide for himself as it is up to him to fight the cartel’s members.
Honestly, it’s not a bad proposition, even if it’s hard to trust Manson’s in an operation.
The skill itself is as certain as Lennok personally mixed his hands, and his unique personality will come in handy in unexpected situations.
Even if you can’t expect a request to send a dispatch somewhere and carry out an operation, it’s probably more than enough to carry out an order like protecting a bar in this area.
However, I didn’t like the fact that he gave in to all the conditions he wanted.
Lennok nodded and continued.
“It’s a waste of money. If it’s all about raising your reputation anyway, why don’t you be more patronizing?”
“What what?”
Jenny, who understood Lennox’s words at once, smiled and accepted the words immediately.
“Let’s go for free. If you promise to help us without a penny, I’ll be responsible for connecting your name to the clients after this is done.”
“that… … .”
“Tell me honestly that you want to eat using my network. Then I will do my best to help you.”
“… … .”
Manson was the first to shut up.
Working without getting paid seemed quite troubling.
I don’t know when the dispute with the cartel will end, but it must be quite burdensome to put your name on this side without receiving payment.
However, it was not a big concern for Lennox or Jenny.
Anyway, the options he can take are fixed at the point where Manson goes wild in the bar and gets his hands on the cartel.
It would be nice if someone as talented as Manson could help out, but it wouldn’t be a big problem if there wasn’t one.
If you shake your hands, it’s enough to break up cleanly, and if you want to work even without receiving money, Manson can only add credibility to the reason he explained.
After groaning for a while, he nodded his head with difficulty.
“Good Joe… … Instead, you will have to keep what that woman said.”
“Is it possible?”
Jenny grinned.
“First, go up to the office. Because of this incident, I think I have roughly grasped how to deal with the cartel.”
As she said that, she waved to the others gathered at the bar.
“Let’s talk about how to get them to bow down first.”
* * *
Because of the size difference, there are things that can be done.
Jenny was rather fortunate that the cartel moved quickly before the business started in earnest.
If the power between each other is not comparable, but at a level that can be compared, the things that can be done are limitless.
Listening to her explanation, it seemed that the plan would take some time to complete.
Lennok took care of the rest of his business and prepared to leave the bar.
This time, Jordan has been kidnapped, so I rushed to the wind, but there is still a lot of work left to do as Lennok.
It was quite difficult to reconcile the lives of Van and Lennok, but now both could not be neglected.
As I was about to leave the bar after telling Jenny that I was going back, I noticed a young man with a familiar face holding onto a newspaper.
Twin mercenaries who took the place of Dylan and Mila in the Antares Mercenary Corps. Was it called Belver?
It’s not that there was no time for conversation, but both of them are strangely quiet, so I don’t remember saying anything special even now that the situation has been sorted out.
The moment he was about to pass by, he inadvertently checked the article column where his gaze stayed.
world situation.
[Clash between Blaver and Pandemonium. The authority of the ivory tower shaken by the demons of the criminal organization… … Is it okay as it is?]
Lennok’s feet stopped abruptly at the headline of the article, which was difficult to pass by.
“hmm?”
Young Belver noticed Lennok’s presence and turned his head.
Lennok ignored the gaze and read the article with a serious face, then felt his gaze and stepped back.
“I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable.”
“no it’s okay. Ban Are you interested in articles like this too?”
“hmm… … . That’s how it is.”
If I had to say it, I just wanted to see for myself how far the embers he had lit would spread, but I didn’t dare say that.
‘It’s also a problem that things work out too well.’
It’s good that he borrowed Weizen’s identity and handled everything perfectly.
The problem was that alchemy, a forgotten technology from the 1st world, was intertwined, and both Pandemonium and Blaber Mage Towers were actively moving.
Thanks to this, the beacon of war was rapidly rising in the volcanic region of Claronnis, where the headquarters of the Blaver Magic Tower was located.
Lennok pretended not to know, hiding his feelings.
“You seem to be very interested in what goes on in the world.”
“of course.”
Belver nodded calmly.
“Blazer Magic Tower supports various technologies for industries that require all kinds of flame technologies, including the steel industry. When this happens, isn’t it natural that related stocks go down?”
“… … .”
Lennok blinked, not understanding what he was saying for a moment.
“related… … . what?”
“Stock end-of-life stock. Of course, if you want to make money, shouldn’t you be paying attention to these news? Aggressive investing is the shortcut to success.”
“… … is it?”
“It seems like half of you are interested too, so that’s great. Why don’t we have a drink together and talk about each other’s views on investing? My sister isn’t interested in things like this, so I don’t have anyone to talk to… … .”
baek!!
Belver, who straightened his posture and began to talk to Lennok, bowed his head forward at the same time as Belita appeared from behind him.
She quickly stood in the way of Belver and smiled at Lennok.
“I’m sorry~ My sister is a bit stupid and can’t grasp the atmosphere. He’s a guy whose hobby is to earn money and run into strange business places, so don’t worry too much about it.”
“… … .”
“What are you talking about, Belita? I’ve never failed an investment. All the losses so far have been just the cornerstone for success.”
“Do you want to go back? How many people have cheated and lost money like that, and are you still talking about that? I want to be close to the wizard, so don’t do anything stupid.”
Belita, lightly intimidated, readily reached out her hand to Lennok first.
“Is this your first time saying hello in person? I’m Belita. I’ve heard a lot of good things from the captain.”
