Chapter 233

Neighbor (2)

“It’s been a while, class.”

Evelyn, dressed in a thin suit, walked into the bar and shook the object in her hand.

“I was wondering what to bring as a gift to celebrate the opening... ... know?”

“I don’t know what you know.”

Lennok, who was sitting at the bar on the first floor and drinking, shook his head.

“Is that what the person who brought the vegetable basket would say? Nothing has changed at all from before.”

“I raised it myself, so don’t worry. It will be very healthy.”

“... ... .”

Besides, looking at the composition, it is the same pile of vegetables that Lennok received yesterday.

I slipped it to the side of the bar, and Jordan took it with a confused face.

Evelyn, who confirmed this with a somewhat proud face, sat next to Ban and opened a bottle of whiskey.

Despite his striking appearance, the form he blends in with people is very natural.

Is it not that difficult for a first-class archer to blend in with his surroundings?

“Because of what happened last time. I have something to say.”

She spoke casually as if passing by.

“It’s not something we can talk about in a place like this, so let’s take a seat... ... Are you okay?”

“What are you talking about?”

“The glass hasn’t moved since before.”

As soon as he heard Ibelin’s words, Lennok realized that his left arm was still and not moving at all.

“... ... No big deal. I have something to think about.”

It is true that the timing was so bad that I wondered if Evelyn had really noticed Lennok’s true identity.

But from her behavior now, it seemed that her eyes were more on the other side than on trying to uncover Lennok’s secret.

If you haven’t noticed right away, that’s enough.

Quickly gathering his thoughts, Lennok stood up and led her to a makeshift office.

After the cartel’s work was over, they often stopped by and used it only to stabilize the magic core, so it was faintly dusty.

After closing the door and roughly cleaning the dust, the preparations were roughly finished.

Evelyn leaned back on the chair by the window and turned her head at the sound she heard outside.

In the bar’s backyard, Dray and the office staff were now sparring among themselves.

Since Wei An and Manson’s sparring, it seems that they have been having fun, and it has become an annual event.

She stared down at him and smiled softly.

“It looks good. We sometimes do something similar. It is effective in measuring the skills of the members and raising their desire for training.”

“is it?”

“Of course I never lost first place there either.”

“... ... .”

Instead of responding to the nonsensical remark, Lennok tapped the desk.

A wave of heavy magical energy instantly engulfed all directions and blocked all sounds around.

Lennok took out a cigarette from inside his arms and lit it, staring at Evelyn.

“So, can you hear what I’m trying to say because I’m taking so much time?”

“... ... .”

“I’ve known you since I started working on this floor, so it’s not a short time. Among them, the only time he personally came to me was when he asked me to name him.”

I remember the last conversation we had to get Parden McQueen’s personal information.

Did you say that it is difficult to find time easily as the scope of agent work has expanded abnormally recently?

The fact that she, who had said that it would be difficult to help Lennok any longer because she was too busy to deal with what was happening outside the Balkans, now came to see Lennok proves that the situation is not an ordinary one.

However, instead of responding to Lennok’s words, Evelyn turned her head slightly and started talking.

“Ban, do you remember the first time we met?”

“... ... It was an unforgettable day.”

How can I forget the day I met the crocodile giant while destroying a factory with Dylan?

The transcendent strength of escaping the limits of the species with his bare body is still clearly engraved in Lennok’s mind even now, more than two years later.

“okay. I never imagined you would end up like this when you saved your life and Dylan’s.”

“... ... .”

“Others might think you were hiding your skills, but I know. That there is a gap between you then and you now. And that you have the talent to convince me of that ridiculous growth.”

Eveline rested her chin on one arm and bowed her head.

Her black hair cascaded down her head, obscuring her expression.

“I have a right to know because I saved your life then.”

Would it be an illusion if the green eyes shining through that hair felt absolutely chilly?

Even more so, if a magical eye was needed at the time of the Mage Tower’s complete investigation, it was needless to say who would be the most helpful mage on the spot.

I never imagined that the series of causalities encountered in the Dominion would lead to this... ... To be honest, it’s true that I’m interested.

In fact, it all started when Lennok disguised himself as Weizen’s face and put the drug lord into a coma.

At the time, it was an attempt to direct the arrow of doubt to Weizen and the mages of the Mage Tower, but I never imagined that it would work this well.

But if there’s one thing that bothers me... ... .

“If you suspect that I belong to the Pandemonium, you should never have proposed a strategy like this to me.”

“... ... .”

“If something really went wrong with the magic tower and I betrayed you in the process of finding out about it, the operation itself... ... . Oh yes.”

After saying that, Lennok realized why Evelyn was thinking and smiled.

“I never thought from the beginning that I was in the pandemonium. Did you make such a long introduction to propose this job?”

“It’s not really like that.”

Evelyn also looked at Lennok and smiled.

“If you are not part of Pandemonium, you can prove it in front of them.”

“... ... .”

Even if he said that, if he hadn’t really had any doubts, he wouldn’t have come to me like this.

At the same time as borrowing Lennok’s power, did he really participate in this operation to directly confirm that he had nothing to do with the pandemonium?

Or, considering her position as an agent, there is a possibility that she received some additional orders from the upper echelons... ...

Lennox put those thoughts aside for a moment and nodded.

“good. It is true that there are suspicious circumstances, and I am interested in this matter.”

The Blaber Mage’s Tower is a sanctuary that is the headquarters of the flame-type unique magic that Lennok acquired.

Even if you don’t have to talk about pandemonium, if you can visit there in person, there is a high possibility that you will get magical achievements or inspiration.

Considering the ability of Lennok’s newly awakened imagery area, it is essential to increase the ‘bifurcation point’ through various experiences.

However, I had no intention of volunteering for free.

“Even so, you’ll have to pay me to leave right now.”

While business is stabilizing, there won’t be many things that will need Lennok’s force now, but it is true that there are some risks in emptying the city.

Since he has just been inaugurated as an outside director of the cartel, no one will touch the business unless he intends to fight the triumvirate, but isn’t it true that one cannot blindly follow Ibelin’s words?

“You don’t have to worry about the reward. Almost all of the budget requested by the upper echelons for this work has been approved, so if you use some of their funds, you will be able to meet most of the requests.”

“good. then... ... .”

Lennok roughly summarized the requirements he had in mind and told Evelyn.

She complied with most of the requests, but frowned at Lennok’s final terms, not immediately understanding them.

“... ... You want that?”

“It’s actually the biggest requirement.”

said Lennok, arms crossed.

“If it wasn’t for this time, you don’t think the opportunity will come again?”

“ha... ... .”

Evelyn let out a deep sigh and nodded weakly.

“I knew it wasn’t like a wizard, but... ... All right. It’s a good request that I can handle anyway.”

“The deal is done.”

Lennox smiled and held out his hand.

“Please take good care of this operation as well.”

So, the two simply set up a meeting place and time and parted ways.

Basically, what Lennok demanded as an advance payment was a pass to a closed society called the Eight Kingdoms Citadel among the Three Heads.

In addition, an amount sufficient to replenish all the elixirs consumed in the battle with McQueen, and a copy of the medicine recipe stored separately by the agent.

A lot of catalysts consumed to draw and maintain the magic circle, and a personal request related to Evelyn.

Regardless of the success or failure of the operation, it is a contract on a scale that allows you to retrieve artifacts and artifacts from the agent’s safe after the job is over.

After Evelyn left, Lennok stared down at the object on the desk.

A piece of paper with a gilded diagonal line on shabby paper.

Temporary identification card that allows access to the heart of Bagoong Fortress.

It is the most closed and secretive organization among the Triumvirate, and it is one of the few secretaries that Jenny’s eyes and ears do not reach well even in this city.

A special area where the influence of the city government was not affected as all sorts of illegalities and corruption raged among the expanding megacities with various interests intertwined.

A slum that is no different from a small country within a city created by quickly gaining power and taking control of the territory centered on the unauthorized building zone that entered in between.

People from Palgoong Fortress who escaped from there are often seen outside the city, but getting into it is almost impossible unless they follow their own rules.

But that’s why there are strange things that are not easily available in the city.

There are rumors that there are places where time passes abnormally quickly compared to other historical sites in the Forbidden Beecher even inside the citadel.

What Lennok was aiming for was right there.

Any artifacts or relics handled by such places would surely be of help to Lennok.
