Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 203

Introduction (2)

“Half. Thank you for coming to this event.”

When I gave her a formal greeting, she waved her hand.

“You don’t have to. We’ve always come in place of Dylan or Mila. In fact, there were quite a few mercenaries in our office who wanted to participate in this work, but we came first. Maybe if things get better, we can bring in more kids?”

“Are there quite a few?”

Belita grinned at Lennok’s words.

“It’s the first time the leader has taken a side so openly in a dispute like this. You didn’t just say it yourself, but you’re actually saying you’re going to help the mage, aren’t you?”

“… … .”

“Isn’t the captain also looking for a nest to stay in now? Everyone thinks so.”

“A nest to stay in… … It’s a very poetic expression. And I never made that promise with Antares in the first place.”

“It is not a fact that can only be known through words, right? Rather, there are cases where actions that are shown rather than spoken are more reliable. First of all, it seems clear that the captain’s will has been decided, so the earlier you raise your hand, the better the captain will see you, right?”

The corners of Lennok’s mouth rose upward at Belita’s sly words.

“That’s an interesting point of view. It’s more important to catch the leader’s eyes than dealing with the cartel… … .”

“… … .”

Belita’s complexion changed slightly when she realized that she had talked too much, but Lennok smiled and nodded.

“Well, it’s not strange if there are secrets within the mercenary corps that I don’t know about. Even if it wasn’t necessarily from Antares himself. Isn’t it?”

“That’s right.”

Apparently, rumors were circulating in the Antares Mercenary Office that Antares would someday do more than join the mercenaries, but Lennok didn’t care.

Belver, who had been watching for a moment, interjected like a ghost and said a word.

“If you put it in the director’s eyes in advance, there’s a very high chance that Kongo will fall later. Therefore, participating in this operation is a desirable investment from a business point of view. It can be said that Belita made a wise decision.”

“You shut up! When a money ghost who has never done business opens his mouth, what kind of investment is he doing? Ugh… … .”

“All the indicators point to a boom, so what is this woman talking about? I am mostly right, especially when it comes to money. you are missing.”

“No wonder. Shall we open an account with each other here?”

“… … .”

Lennok watched the twins start bickering again in the middle of their conversation, then pulled away.

The Antares Mercenary Corps seemed to have as many eccentrics as there were many talented people.

Leaving the bar, Lennok casually turned around and surveyed the view of the three-story building.

If you start a business properly and scale it up, this building will be full of people someday.

So far, I have not felt any discomfort in working alone, but as time goes by, the surrounding environment continues to change.

When Lennok thought he was going to stand at the end of this street, he couldn’t handle everything alone.

Even the celestial dog Madrea Palseir, who had risen to the pinnacle of sorcerers, eventually created an organization called the Lighthouse.

Aren’t even the monsters that are hard for Lennok to touch now under the pretext of pandemonium?

Is the desire to be perfect alone in this wide world just a misguided greed?

At least it wasn’t a matter that could be concluded right now.

Lennok, lost in thought, shook his head and left the bar.

In the first clash with the cartel, I couldn’t sit still for long as long as there was a bit of discomfort.

According to Jenny’s plan, Lennok will be the busiest.

There was something I had to do first, even if I was going to be able to walk through these streets.

* * *

“It’s disappointing that I haven’t been able to contact you so much.”

Sebastian grinned and shook his wine glass.

“It was the same when the exploration team was involved, so if you have used this information power as you like, don’t forget about aftercare. In fact, didn’t the last job mean that I was serving you free of charge?”

He remembers the deal in which he asked to be included in the process of processing the artifact ‘Archangel’s Compassion’ instead of saving the list of those who sponsored the Arashak Ruins Exploration Team.

However, in the process of dealing with Irina Pesfield, Lennok swallowed the archangel’s compassion as it was, so it is inevitable from his point of view.

But Lennok snorted and accepted the glass of wine he offered him.

“Do you think I’m unaware that you’ve got patrons who got rosters instead? I think he must have kept his mouth shut until now because he benefited from it.”

At Lennox’s words, Sebastian let out a sinister laugh.

“Heh heh… … Aren’t you too quick to notice? I tried to show condescension, but I failed.”

A list of businessmen, starting with Vincent Mayblack, who were investing capital in the ruins exploration team.

It’s obvious that Sebastian would have shown off his friendship with Lennok when he brought them into his clientele.

From Sebastian’s point of view, who works as a broker for individual entrepreneurs or rich or famous people, entrepreneurs who trade outside the Balkans must be a valuable potential customer base.

Lennok saw exactly how Sebastian had profited from intervening in the Ruins Exploration Corps’ affairs.

“Let’s forget about the past. Isn’t the important thing what you came to see me for today?”

“Are your items ready?”

Although Lennok succeeded in supplementing most of his lacking abilities through magic, he still couldn’t easily touch one of his mobility skills.

Having to worry about the side effects of physical strengthening due to mana addiction in the body, as well as the difficulty of obtaining a space-based movement method was an unavoidable problem.

At least in the case of mana addiction, he was making some progress through the work entrusted to the medicine man, but even Lennok could not easily guess when the day he would get his hands on a powerful spell like [Blink].

But with other motivations, the story is different.

In the past, he couldn’t complete the boarding aid magic, so he couldn’t even dare to do it, but now that he has obtained the Dabi, the situation has completely changed.

Although it was ironic that I couldn’t get my own personal transportation until I completed the automatic flight algorithm as well as the automatic driving.

Anyway, Lennok finally had the time to afford his own means of transportation.

A request from Ottoble that I had solved after receiving Sebastian’s advice in the past.

There, the blueprints of the project that Lennok obtained through Madam.

At the time, it was something that had been overlooked while promising a future date, but Lennok was now in a position where he could fully receive and take care of the compensation that had been overlooked at that time.

“To be honest, this kind of work is not my taste, but I still cannot neglect the work you have entrusted to me. Let’s go downstairs and talk.”

Saying that, Sebastian led him to the garage right next to the office.

The transparent glass door opens, revealing a view of the spacious garage.

Like a broker in the back world who earns huge income, he owns more than 10 types of cars.

Unlike Jenny, who drove a bright red sports car, he seemed to prefer a stately sedan or SUV.

The innermost corner of the garage, where cars are wide apart.

At the rear of the most well-maintained garage stood something mysterious.

“It didn’t take long to take over, surprisingly. I don’t know how they found out and contacted them, but they said it took some time for the project to materialize.”

“You were lucky.”

“Well, there is a lot of fun that you can enjoy because you are working with such customers. See you once.”

Saying that, Sebastian grabbed the veil and jerked it back.

“A monster bike project ambitiously prepared by Autoble. That first prototype!!”

A sleek, black bike that reveals its appearance at the same time as the veil lifts to the other side.

In terms of size, it boasts a huge body comparable to the monster bike Hina used, and two wheels the size of truck tires.

The solid engine connected to the exhaust port that is boldly drilled in the back lets you guess the output of the bike.

“It hasn’t been officially released yet. Strictly speaking, it is something close to a prototype of a product that will be mass-produced in the future.”

“It’s a prototype… … .”

“But all of the built-in parts used high-end products that are far from mass-produced, and above all, the output itself will be something that cannot be compared to ordinary bikes.”

He hushed his voice and whispered like a child playing a prank.

“The Ottoble side remembers your name, too. Even if I entrust you with custom or updates in the future, there will be no refusal.”

Saying that, Sebastian took out his bike key and handed it to Lennok.

“You and Van were going to make a deal with me in exchange for obtaining this item, but in this case, we will not accept payment.”

“I am willing to pay for money. Or is it okay to just listen to one thing like last time?”

Of course, it was possible to get this bike like this because Lennok had recovered the blueprints of Otterble in its entirety, but it would have been impossible if Sebastian didn’t use his hands in the middle.

Considering that a bike of this size basically boasts a considerable price as much as the output itself is enormous, Sebastian would have needed a financial investment as well.

But Sebastian smiled and shook his head.

“I’ve been told roughly what your situation is with the cartel.”

“… … .”

“Of course, using this opportunity to borrow your name to solve my business is a very sweet suggestion, but… … . Shouldn’t it take up a busy person’s time?”

“I didn’t know you thought of me that much.”

Sebastian chuckled at Lennox’s plaintive reply.

“In addition, it is a gift given in the sense that it would be nice if you would think positively about working with me in the future. Given the scale of what you’re asking, we could be pretty good partners in the future.”

Except for the woman who looked like she was about to quit the broker job now, he added, and let out a sinister laugh.

Seeing Sebastian revealing his true feelings without hiding them, Lennok laughed.

It was tossed lightly as a joke, but he must be sincere in his desire to maintain a lasting partnership with Lennok.

Jenny and seasoned brokers like her had an uncanny knack for giving off a not-so-hateful impression while displaying an overtly snobbish attitude.

Even now, as a matter of course, he gives Lennok a bike like this as a gift, and naturally speaks out.

His attitude of acknowledging Lennok as much as he did but not wanting to fret in the first place seemed light, but in fact it was that of an extremely serious businessman.

“good.”

Get the key to the bike and insert it as it is.

Wheein!!

[Recognition of user’s biometric information. Synchronization is in progress.]

“Once the key is inserted and the owner is recognized, they say there is no need to carry the key from then on.”

Standing beside him, Sebastian explained with a happy face.

“It is equipped with AI that automatically starts the engine and finishes preheating when the occupant just gets near it, so it is helpful for driving assistance-” [

Recognition failed. Turn off the power.]

“… … .”

“… … hmm?”

Seeing Sebastian’s bewildered expression, Lennok scratched his chin in silence.

“Wait a minute. Although they say they brought prototypes, Autoble is not such a lax company. Rather, the performance would be much better than the product to be officially released, but what is this… … .”

Sebastian, who couldn’t hide his bewildered expression, started tapping the bike here and there.

But Lennok shook his head, having guessed the reason.

“No, I know. It’s probably not the bike’s problem.”

Considering Lennok’s modulated magic pattern, which even Ibelin couldn’t see through, it’s no wonder that the bike’s biometric system couldn’t properly recognize Lennok in the first place.

That’s why Lennok avoided Sebastian’s eyes, secretly raised his mana, and immediately summoned Darby.

Pajijik!!

[…] … .]

Darby looked up at Lennok and immediately understood his intentions and immediately disappeared as if he were seeping into the inside of the bike.

Her hacking ability, which inherited the computational power of strong artificial intelligence, was too great to be thought of as that of a simple spirit.

It took less than 5 seconds for the woman to pass through the security of Ottoble’s biometric system without difficulty and display an approval sign.

[User setup complete. AUTOABLE AI CONTROL 1.2 POWER ONLINE.]

Weiyiing!!

The green light on the instrument panel turns on and the bike starts to vibrate loudly.

Sebastian tilted his head with a puzzled expression.

“what… … ?”

“I tapped it a few times and saw it move, so it seems to be fine.”

Lennok grinned as he looked down at Sebastian, who was pounding on his bike.

“Wasn’t the original machine repaired by beating it?”

“… … Is that so

?

It seems that wizards and brokers had the same experience of hitting and fixing broken machines.

Darby, who had been listening to the pathetic conversation between the two, could only crackle at the electricity inside the bike.
