New Project (1)
“That... ... Are you okay?”
Evelyn asked with an awkward expression.
“I don’t know much about spells, but building a new magic system is only possible for masters who have already reached level 8 or are trying to ascend.”
“It won’t be easy. but... ... .”
Lennok knew he had to take on the challenge at this point because it was such a difficult task.
To fill Lennok’s bowl with water to the limit and make it overflow again.
They understood that they had to walk in a completely different way and at a different pace than everyone else.
In the conversation with Jindun, the knowledge of the barrier art that Lennok had inherited only added confidence to those suspicions.
The knowledge of barrier art, which systematizes the truth of magic within the framework of barriers, is undoubtedly the most appropriate tool for completing a new magic system.
His creation magic, which he had only used to directly implement necessary magic.
Up until now, I had simply prepared an assortment and made it appropriately when needed, but now it is different.
A common magic that existed in Lennok’s mind from the beginning.
Countless unique magics learned while living in this city.
The alchemy of the old world stolen by the drug lord and the barrier art of the Ascendant.
Borrowing only forms and principles, he gathers all the rules and orders that were used and arranges them into the most suitable laws for Lennok.
Throwing off the magic system that exists in the existing hierarchy and building a completely new order inside.
It was realizing that that was the way to reach level 8 with Lennok’s talent.
Evelyn looked up at Lennok for a while and nodded.
“... ... I see.”
“If it goes well, then maybe I can teach you magic.”
“Ahaha to me? That’s a story I’m really thankful for.”
Evelyn laughed at Lennok’s nonsense.
In response, Lennok smiled slightly and shrugged his shoulders.
“It is not nonsense. If you complete a new magic system, you will be able to fully understand and pass it on... ... Of course, whether you have that kind of magical aptitude is another matter.”
“Well, I’ve never particularly thought of the need for magic now... ... .”
Evelyn, thinking deeply, clapped her hands and grinned.
“If you make a magic that makes vegetables never rot, I will consider becoming your disciple.”
“... ... .”
It’s embarrassing to say it now, but there was no doubt that she was a consistent person in many ways.
After that, the two of them got off at the terminal entering the vicinity of the megalopolis and packed their belongings appropriately.
Railway station crowded with people. It is a gigantic and crowded terminal that is incomparable to the small city I just got on the train.
Lennok nodded his head after confirming that messages and call logs that had not been updated since the cell phone, which had been dead for nearly a month, caught radio waves, were uploaded.
Hundreds of texts and phone calls to Jenny. A few even to Jordan. The cartel, as well as the citadel and other brokers, have been contacted.
Turning his gaze slightly, he looked at Evelyn, and her complexion did not look good, as if she was going through something similar.
Evelyn also made eye contact with Lennok and let out a small sigh.
“Looks like we don’t have time to rest for a long time.”
“you also?”
She smiled bitterly, then took a light breath and forced a laugh.
“I’d like to have a drink of that broker’s whiskey together, but... ... I guess we have to part here.”
“... ... .okay.”
Lennox nodded and looked at Evelyn, who was about to turn around.
The flowing black hair swayed as if it would disappear among the crowd at any moment.
Lennok, who was staring blankly at her back, opened his mouth without realizing it and spoke to Evelyn again.
“I am grateful for this work.”
“uh?”
Lennok spoke slowly, staring straight into Evelyn’s green eyes as she turned back.
“I know there’s more than one reason why you decided to enter Blue’s Eye and become a Watcher.”
“... ... .”
“I thought we had helped each other several times while we knew each other, but this time we owed money. I don’t know how to reciprocate... ... .”
Lennox’s words didn’t go further.
Before he knew it, Evelyn had come up to him and was looking up at Lennok.
Evelyn, who had been silently looking at Lennok for a long time, slowly raised her hand.
Took.
Her hand presses Lennok’s head as it is. Lennox hung his head in silence.
It was nothing in itself that attention was drawn to Ban’s face now, but it seemed like there was a need to properly examine the situation.
Thinking so, Lennok went straight to Jenny’s bar located in District 49.
Upon opening the door and entering the basement, the eyes focused on Lennok in an instant.
Jenny, who was glaring at the shaker with her hand on her waist, jumped up with a startled expression.
“half... ... !!”
“A long time.”
Lennox smiled and nodded, and Jenny hurried over to Lennok and whispered.
“What the hell happened in the North Continent... ... ! Did you know that it took almost a month?”
“It would take a long time to explain.”
Lennox answered, pulling a nearby chair and sitting down, picking up a whiskey from Jordan.
“I’m glad you came back safely. Jenny was very worried.”
“Is that so?”
Jenny, who was sitting next to Lennok, spoke quickly as Jordan took the necklace.
“Ban, did you know that an ascendant died recently?”
“Know.”
“The Sasang-wide Hanghasa Labyrinth collapsed, but not many people know what happened inside. Even in this riotous city, it’s quite a topic.”
“... ... .”
“If you know about it or are involved... ... .”
“wait for a sec.”
Lennok glanced around before replying.
As soon as he entered the bar, the gaze that was focused on him was colorless, and the customers chatting among themselves as if it was like that.
But it was obvious that most of them were listening intently to eavesdrop on the conversation going on here.
Jenny must have been careful not to leak the conversation at this place, but even thinking about it, it wasn’t a story to bring up in a place like this.
Lennok raised the glass of whiskey and casually changed the subject.
“Rather than that, I want to hear something about what happened in the megalopolis.”
“half?”
“I don’t know much about him because he left right after the prohibition law was lifted due to the rebellion of the National Guard. I wish I could explain a bit about that.”
Lennok looked around casually and lowered his voice.
“I’m sure something is going on from the reactions around me, but Area 49 is strangely quiet. Rather, it feels like seeing a street like this for the first time in a long time.”
It wasn’t that Lennok felt a strong sense of incongruity when he entered District 49 for nothing.
Bondi District 49 is one of the lawless zones where fights, explosions, terrorism and crimes take place on fictitious days, and there is no quiet day due to the wreckage and debris.
Of course, there was no place in the vicinity where either the building or the street would not be in ruins.
However, the restored buildings on this street are all intact, and the fights are not big compared to the bloody atmosphere surrounding them.
After leaving the Ascendant’s Snowfield and returning to normal, Lennok’s sense of magic accurately sensed the excessively quiet situation in District 49.
“What is going on in this city right now?”
“I think I can explain that part.”
It wasn’t Jordan and Jenny who answered Lennok’s words, but the man sitting next to him drinking alone.
The act of tipping a glass alone. A loose tie and a briefcase thrown on the floor.
Even the slightly tousled hair and the red complexion from the alcohol.
“This is the first time I’ve seen the fastness of Area 49 in person. It is very different from what I thought.”
The man hiccupped little by little as he turned to Lennok and smiled faintly.
“Even if none of your photos are correct, I have been imagining your face just by hearing eyewitness accounts.”
“What do you mean explain?”
Lennok smiled and turned to the man.
“You mean you are one of the people involved in this case?”
“Um, I am this kind of person.”
The man laughed lightly, then took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Lennok.
Jenny, who snatched it from the middle, glanced at the man and looked away.
“City Government Confidential Management Agency... ... . It’s famous as an extraterritorial organization that even the central council doesn’t touch. What happened to the agency that even the city council members pay attention to came to our bar?”
With a smile on her face, Jenny tapped the shaker and said.
“I heard that it is one of the very few departments that survived the failure of the Black Consumer Project.”
“That’s why I came to Kyeon-roe.”
The man laughed with a helpless face.
“A new project is about to be carried out in this city where the ban has been lifted for the first time in decades.”
