Drug-Eating Genius Mage

Eight Fortresses (2)

Lennok finally understood what Ibelin meant when he said that the times were not good.

If the atmosphere inside the fortress is calm, there is nothing wrong with becoming a representative of one of the 8 families.

It would be enough just to comfortably finish the auction and exit the fort.

But what does it mean to be a representative of a family now, when power struggles between families are fierce?

Evelyn was warning them that they could become embroiled in a quarrel inside the citadel.

“Not bad.”

“what?”

After hearing that, Lennok made up his mind.

Chasing the traces of the church. Entering the auction house and learning about the ruins and time magic.

If both of these goals involve skirmishes inside the citadel, avoiding quarrels is the opposite.

Rather, it was efficient to actively jump into the plate.

“No matter what happens, it’s not difficult to keep your body healthy.”

said Lennok, putting the ticket into his arms.

“If you have to, it’s enough to get out of the position of outside director of the cartel with a shield. There are plenty of holes to get out of, so there’s no reason you can’t step in.”

“… … …the presidents would really like that decision.”

Seeing Lennok grinning, Evelyn shook her head.

“If you’re thinking of going even after hearing that, I won’t stop you. It’s not like you’ve worked in this city for a day or two… … .”

“good.”

“However, I don’t know how the scramble is currently going on inside the fort. It is difficult to obtain information on the Palgoong Fortress, but there is no place to use it, so it is a trend that people do not touch it unless it is necessary.”

“Jenny said the same thing. understood.”

In fact, he expressed his intention to visit Pagoong Fortress and sought necessary information, but he said that no answer was immediately available on the deep web.

It was better for Lennok to go in and sell his footing directly to the fact that he had to wait a week to get the necessary information or the current situation.

Now that you’ve heard about the ticket, you’d better check the family that made it and go to the auction house.

While Lennok was thinking that, and organizing what he had to do in the future, he suddenly heard a thick voice from behind.

“Team Marcia!”

A handsome middle-aged man strode forward and shook hands with Evelyn without hesitation.

Just looking at all the accessories and artifacts on his body made it possible to guess the thickness of the man’s wallet.

Evelyn also immediately recognized the man and smiled awkwardly.

“Mr. Tucker. long time no see.”

“Long time no see!! Team leader, what have you been up to here? Do you have any business to do in the fort?”

The man called Tucker shook Evelyn’s hand and, without hearing back, immediately started talking about himself.

“… … Looking back, it was a big deal back then. If the team leader hadn’t helped us, we would have been preyed on by contaminants in the desert outside the city.”

“Ah yes.”

“Still, after overcoming the crisis and delivering the goods to the customer, things worked out well, and it became a business that supplies supplies even to the Fortress of Bagoong, what is it!! It’s all thanks to the team leader.”

Marcia smiled awkwardly at the sight of Tucker laughing while stroking his protruding belly.

He is such a chatty person that even Lennok, who was watching from the sidelines, got tired of it. Is it because he is such an energetic person that he can deliver goods to all kinds of places and make business partners?

“But this person… … ?”

It wasn’t until a moment later that Tucker’s gaze reached Lennok, who was standing behind Ibelin.

Evelyn then introduced Lennok to Tucker.

“This is called half. He is a wizard who also serves as an external advisor to the agent.”

“Oh half… … ! I’ve heard of that name too!!”

Tucker made a fuss and shook hands politely.

“When it comes to the fastness of the 49th district, everyone knows it. He is famous for being so busy with work, but I never thought I would be able to see him in person here.”

“… … ?”

Fastness. Lennok is a title I had never heard of.

I slightly turned my head to look at Evelyn, and Evelyn nodded with a shy expression.

Apparently, she had a rough idea of how Lennok was being called on the floor.

“I never thought I would see the two of you like this in front of the passage to the fortress… … Do you have something to see in Palgoong Fortress?”

“Oh, it’s half of me, not me.”

As Evelyn took a step back, Tucker charged more aggressively.

“okay! If you’re having trouble getting inside the Citadel, I think I can help… … .”

“… … .”

Lennok stared into Tucker’s eyes instead of responding.

His round, arcuate face was undoubtedly that of a good-natured man, but Lennok could read something a little different behind his words and attitude.

‘You knew who I was from the beginning.’

Ive been talking with Evelyn for a while, but maybe what I said now is Tucker’s main point.

At first glance, it seems that Tucker is doing Lennok a favor, but the truth is different.

If you help Lennok and accompany him, it will spread the perception that Tucker and Ban are the same party among the people inside Bagoong Fortress.

Naturally, Tucker is also guaranteed safety inside the castle and is easy to be treated.

Originally, Tucker judged that if he could rent a freelancer in the 49th district, which was not easy to hire even for money, it would be a profitable business.

‘It’s not like I need help… … .’

Entering the Pagoong Fortress is a very tricky process and verification process, but if you have the ticket Evelyn gave you, it is not very difficult to enter the fortress itself.

This ticket, issued directly by the 8 families, is proof that the holder is the representative of the family.

If you show this in moderation and tremble with prestige, passing the strict inspection of the fort itself will be a piece of cake.

But Lennok smiled and nodded, even though he clearly guessed that fact.

“Thank you for being in trouble. Is it okay if I accompany you?”

“Of course! I will bring my party and luggage right now!”

Evelyn frowned as she watched Tucker run away with a full face.

“Last month, when I was on a business trip, I met a kite, but contrary to looks, I’m not such a nice person. Are you okay?”

“Does not matter.”

Lennok replied with a relaxed expression.

“The other side seems to want to use my name as a shield… … . It would benefit me too if I could hide the ticket when entering the citadel.”

The ticket Lennok has is an item that proves that he is an agent of Oryunga.

In other words, presenting this ticket as a pass at the entrance of the fortress is tantamount to informing the high-ranking officials of the fortress that Lenok is the agent of Oryunga.

Rather than that, he preferred to pretend to be Tucker’s party and not know which family representative he was.

Of course, when Lennok starts his activities in earnest, information will be revealed soon, but it is also Lennok’s job to take advantage of the information imbalance that will exist for a short time.

“And going with me doesn’t necessarily mean it’s safe.”

Seeing Lennok’s grin on her face, Evelyn shook her head.

* * *

So Lennok briefly greeted Evelyn and immediately followed Tucker into the citadel.

Tucker remained polite to Van even after Evelyn left.

“Haha This is not the first time supplying supplies to the inside of the fort. It probably won’t be too difficult to pass even if Van accompanies you.”

“is it?”

“Sure. Actually, this is something that shouldn’t be said here, but… … .”

Tucker glanced around and whispered in Lennoc’s ear.

“Most people in the fort are not very interested in the outside world. Sorry to say, but you may not even know who Van is.”

As expected, the citadel’s passerby took a close look at his new companion, but did not recognize Lennok.

I wonder if he just misunderstood me as an ordinary wizard by hiding his magical power.

If I had shown the ticket, the reaction would have been much more intense than this.

Choosing to accompany Tucker was a much better decision than I thought.

After passing through the cement wall of more than ten meters and entering the fort, the open street came into view at a glance.

The most notable thing is the architecture, which is completely different from the general style of megacities.

It is full of impressive houses and buildings with thick wooden pillars and roof tiles drawing a wide curved floor.

The clothes of the people passing by the streets also gave off a slightly different impression from the modern clothes of the megacities.

On top of that, every time Tucker’s big truck drives down the road, the eyes pour in.

It must have been a strange place in many ways that the atmosphere changed so much with one thick cement wall.

“It seems that there is a lot of interest in outsiders here.”

“There are so many people lined up outside the citadel, but the number of people who can come inside is limited.”

Tucker replied with a proud face.

In fact, if he managed to break through the trading network to the inside of the fortress and maintain it, his salesmanship must be quite good.

Tucker, seated next to the driver at the wheel, began to chatter about how he had struck a deal with the Citadel and how well he had packaged and delivered certain items.

I thought he had been talking for so long on purpose to attract Lennok, but talking a lot seemed to be his natural personality.

Judging by the familiar expressions of the employees sitting in the other seats in the truck, it seems that this has not happened once or twice.

Lennok slightly turned his head and concentrated on analyzing the structure of the barrier in this area.

The structure was so sophisticated that even Lennok, who had learned some knowledge about barrier arts through Liberation Taoism and Mastery Taoism, could not immediately sense it.

Perhaps this fortress itself is a concept, and the barrier is maintained with various conditions and restrictions.

If he knew the extent of the conditions and restrictions, Lennok’s barrier art could be further advanced.

While he was lost in thought, Tucker spoke to Lennok again.

“For now, it is enough for us to be with our customers. After that, I think you can go wherever you want.”

As long as you borrowed Tucker’s help and got inside, you’ll have to follow him to where he wants to go.

After parting with Tucker, he intended to change his face appropriately and collect information about the Eight Families nearby.

In particular, it would be important information to know how much position Oryunga occupies in the battle for power in the citadel and how helpful it will be to Lennok.

The moment Lennok thought and was about to nod, he suddenly sensed signs of a rapid approach from beyond his senses.

“… … .”

Those who use magic. More than ten people are approaching Tucker’s truck from all sides.

PABABABABAAT!!

Swift signs stepping on tiles and running from all sides.

In the meantime, Lennok, who felt a faint sense of deja vu, frowned.

Woooo!!

Dozens of black figures quickly surrounded the truck in the middle of the car.

A sharp flash of light flashed in my arms, and the blade pierced the truck window in an instant.

Wow Jangchang!!

There was no time to ask.

After catching and twisting all the attacks flying from the surroundings with the magician, he used shock magic to make the figures fall back.

“Aaaaa!!”

The blue-faced employee drove the truck forward like mad.

The truck drives out of the lane in an instant and heads into a dark alleyway, as if holding the steering wheel carelessly.

A narrow alley where a car could barely pass. Should I say it’s fortunate that there are no people nearby?

muttered Lennok, looking out the window.

“It would have been better if we had continued to drive.”

“Yes yes?”

“This will only give the pursuers an excuse.”

They were the ones who tried to kill me casually in the middle of a crowd.

In an alleyway where people’s eyes were gone, it wouldn’t be strange if it came out more radically than this.

He hadn’t expected this to happen the moment he entered the citadel, but Lennok wasn’t too surprised.

Since he entered the citadel without bothering to hide his face, he thought that there might be a fight at least once.

“What is this?! Why is this happening to us all of a sudden!!”

Tucker shouted, his chin shaking.

Instead of replying, Lennok shook his head at the presence of someone running behind him.

He casually steps on the wall between the alleyways and chases the truck while running.

Dada da da da da!!

Unlike trucks that can only move between these narrow roads, the pursuers who run three-dimensionally move and quickly close the distance.

If things go on like this, the rest of the people except for Lennok could have been slaughtered right here and there.

If you’re not going to let the pursuers live, you’d better help them here and get paid.

“Intercept. keep stepping on it.”

Lennok, who finished the calculation in an instant, reached for his left sleeve.

Clap!!

A revolver that pops out when the shrinking magic is released.

However, its appearance is of a different kind than that which Lennok had hitherto used.

A pure white barrel and a smooth cylinder in which the blue magic light shines softly.

The new equipment that Palmer had paid a hefty fee for and commissioned was finally in Lennok’s hands.

Lennok turned to Tucker, clutching the truck’s window frame with his white-flashing revolver in his hand.

Although he feigned good intentions, his purpose of selling Ban’s name to ensure safety was not sound.

For the price of sparing his life, I’d be fine with taking a little more than I thought.

Lennok smiled faintly and asked Tucker.

“You will need an incentive. Will that be okay?”
