Chapter 63
Indeed, the bank I found after a long time.
As the money accumulated in the account is now in the hundreds of millions of dollars, the attitude of the bank teller towards him is naturally different.
No matter what they do, customers who handle large amounts of money are always a valuable source of funds for banks.
After checking the amount remaining in the account, Lennok was troubled.
‘The amount received from Panoa and the money received as a success reward for this job slightly exceeded 400 million won.’
In the process of looking for a new house and moving, he forgot a lot of money, but he made up for it when the money he robbed from Cigar Bang’s safe began to be deposited into his account.
‘I have invested in improving the living environment to some extent, so there is no reason to save a lump sum for the time being. I’ll have to find out what I can do with this money.’
After this operation is over, the money collected will probably easily exceed 500 million cells.
In this huge city, it wasn’t a lot of money, but it wasn’t a small amount either.
At least enough money to seize a chance in the field that Lennok wants.
‘Elixir or artifact… I need to find something useful.’
If you ask Evelyn Marcia for advice, she might recommend something good.
Thinking so, Lennok withdrew about 20 million cells, put them in his arms, and left the bank.
Ten million-cell digit banknotes. It is a currency that banks do not give out easily under normal circumstances, but it was surprisingly easy to withdraw, perhaps because of the intention to look good to him.
Anyway, I needed the cash, but I’m glad I got it so easily.
Catching cheap taxis rolling around the streets, Lennok headed straight to District 31.
The largest botanical garden located in the metropolis of Balkan.
At the same time, it is where the ‘Orchard’ run by Plumber is located.
It’s already been a few months since I last bought a large amount of cash buns at the beginning of the year.
There are still about 10 cans left in hand, but if you work with the agent, they will run out in an instant.
It was necessary to find a new drug and try it at least once, as I doubted that I was slowly developing a tolerance to the efficacy of Cashburn.
“Huh …..”
Unlike the cold winter air, the air inside the botanical garden has a warm and gentle scent.
Citizens also seemed to have a particularly large number of people playing with their children in these indoor facilities rather than spending the weekend outside in the cold.
In a place full of children and married couples, there was only one man standing in a coat with a haggard expression, so it was inevitable that he would stand out.
“……..”
The moment I tried to quickly move to the orchard to avoid the eyes pouring down on me.
“How about half?”
A familiar voice came from behind.
Sharp tone even when slightly stretched. At the same time, the landscape of the barren highlands passing by in front of my eyes.
The moment he hears the voice, Lennok’s synesthesia reacts arbitrarily, showing the scenery of the moment he met the voice in many ways.
The problem is that the identity of the other person he found out was not very welcome from Lennok’s point of view.
I sighed and turned my head to see the familiar navy blue hair that I also remembered.
A black leather jumper over a green tank top. An impressive beauty with baggy military boots and wide pants.
“long time no see. How have you been?”
Mila happily strode towards me and waved.
A mercenary belonging to the Antares Office. Although they only worked together to catch contaminants in an undeveloped district, it seems that they are already recognized as close colleagues in her mind.
Lennok answered, avoiding her hand trying to tap on his shoulder.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen it in an undeveloped district.”
“That’s right. In the meantime, I was too busy running around following the boss.”
A mischievous smile suddenly appeared on Mila’s lips as she complained.
“But you became a very famous person while I couldn’t see you?”
“……..”
“I was a little surprised to hear your name a lot recently. I thought he was a good guy from the time we worked together, but I didn’t know he was already making friends with companies and raising his ransom.”
“Well… various things happened.”
There are many reasons why he joined hands with Dyke, but in the end, there was definitely no intention to increase Lenok’s own reputation and ransom.
Needless to say, the effect would be great if the name of the sorceress, Van, began to be heard even in her ears, who seemed completely uninterested in the eyes of others.
While answering that, I peeked into Mila’s face, but I couldn’t find any negative emotions such as envy or jealousy on her face.
“Let’s work together later. Don’t just hang out with Dylan. Is it okay for me to go to the bar run by that nasty woman often?”
However, only the naive desire to get and eat bean curd through an acquaintance whose position has risen sharply is visible.
Considering the people Lennok had met so far, it didn’t seem so bad.
As she was about to reply with a smile, a huge shadow suddenly appeared behind her.
“Milla. Stop talking nonsense.”
A large man with broad shoulders suddenly appeared from behind.
A profound impression with short hair pulled back all over the forehead, muscles bulging as if about to explode, and all kinds of tattoos on both arms.
Even in this cold winter, the unconventional fashion with both arms exposed without hesitation is impressive, but what catches Lennok’s attention most of all is the new head with a strong impression resembling an eagle.
The beaky eyes and the tightly closed bird beak. It’s not a human face, so it’s hard to read the expression, but it’s enough to show an honest disposition.
While Lennok was speechless, Mila casually tapped him on the shoulder and continued.
“Felix, isn’t it time to save face? How many opportunities do you have to make personal connections with such a popular wizard? You have to stick to it like a leech and eat the soybean to the very marrow…”
Felix frowned at Mila’s blunt words and put his hand on her head.
In an instant, a hand the size of a pot lid covered her whole head and covered her babbling mouth.
He looked down at Lennok with a more relaxed expression and shook hands with his other hand.
“You see it for the first time. My name is Felix Allman. I work in the same office as Mila.”
“…..Half. A wizard.”
Their hands were so different in size that it didn’t seem like a proper handshake, but Felix seemed satisfied.
I couldn’t read the expression properly, but maybe it was.
It was the first time he had seen an alien species that had escaped from humans in this way, so he was taken aback, but Lennok quickly calmed down his thoughts and stretched out his mana to gauge Felix’s level.
If there is any know-how gained from rolling countless times on this floor, it is true that there are rather few cases where the size of the amount of horse power is proportional to the fighting ability.
Not only magicians, but also warriors who fight using their own bodies.
With the exception of truly remotely high-level mages like Aris and Madrea Falseir, Lennok has never been impressed by anyone with the amount of magical energy on this floor.
Even Beck Clinton’s body’s magical power was comparable to Lennok’s.
The important thing is not the size of the magic power, but the speed at which the magic flows and the shape of the resolution that forms it.
It takes a great deal of discernment to find out just how much of an internally perfected superhuman he is.
And Lennok was already making that vision his own little by little.
‘It’s slow and steady. Besides, it’s very… dense.’
The branches that make up the flow of magical energy are divided into very finely divided parts and flow proudly around the body.
If you compare only that sense of stability, it is never pushed back by that of Beck Clinton.
Among the freelance team members I met in this operation, the level is different even compared to the giant with a nonchalant expression.
He didn’t show the slightest outward force, but it was clear that the man named Felix Allman was a fairly skilled fighter like Dylan and Milla.
While Lennok was grasping his opponent, Felix must have noticed him as well.
“It’s exactly what I heard.”
“what?”
“Aside from the room to grow in skill, the posture itself has already been completed as a warrior. excellent.”
“……..”
It might be dismissed as nonsense, but Felix’s words referring to him as a warrior were very impressive.
Perhaps he somehow realized that Lennok was not just a wizard through this brief encounter.
If you have an eye as sharp as those bright eyes, that wouldn’t be impossible.
The orchard
was going to laugh at it as a common pretense, but Felix shook his head seriously.
“Aristocrats or renowned martial artists would probably show a similar reaction. It’s not often that you can find such sharp yet stable magic power. It would be good to know, as it will make it easier for you to like it.”
nobles or martial artists.
A member of an organization that is born from a blessed family with special magical powers, or who shares and inherits systematically established magical application techniques.
“Remember it. But it doesn’t seem to mean much.”
Both groups have a considerable social status in the city.
Even if you say that you are a noble noble from birth, it is difficult to belong to the martial arts without innate talent.
In fact, it could be thought of as a rarity comparable to encountering a wizard belonging to the Mage Tower.
Of course, there were many talented people like Dylan or Mila who did not belong to such a martial arts school, but there is no one who does not know how important it is to systematically sharpen and polish one’s talents.
But at Lennok’s words, Felix immediately shook his head.
“I haven’t met you yet, but sooner or later you will meet quite a few people. If you continue to rise up like now, someday.”
“……..”
“It seems like yesterday that I started hearing that Dylan had a useful mage, but already everyone in our office doesn’t know your name. If you have that kind of talent and judgment, there will be far more places to find you than there are now.”
“Is this a scouting offer?”
When Lennok asked that question, Felix laughed incredulously.
“ha ha ha…!! If you were going to come into our office, you would have seen my face the first time I met Dylan. Skilled wizards are always welcome… but your face isn’t thick enough to poke me multiple times, even after seeing your steps. It is impossible, at least for me.”
When he said that, he looked down at Lennok and grinned.
“It’s just that you seem to get along pretty well with Dylan, so I’m giving you some good advice. If you like him, at least he’s far from being a scum with bad personality.”
“…Thank you for the compliment.”
“As Dylan or Mila already said, come visit the office later. Antares is curious about you.”
Contrary to the first impression that looks very fierce, he speaks very well and logically.
Is it the type that has as many things in its head as a thoroughly trained body?
It is very different from the general image that comes to mind when you think of a bird’s head.
Unlike the mercenaries in the other offices, it was clear that he was not an easy opponent considering that he called Antares by name without hesitation.
Lennok looked at Felix disappearing with Mila, who grumbled that he was alone talking too much.
Is it a coincidence that a mercenary belonging to the mercenary office is at the botanical garden at this time?
Unless the two were enjoying a date in a sunny place full of citizens, the purpose of their visit would not be different from that of Lennok.
‘It looks like the Antares office is also a customer of the orchard…’
Selling or buying.
Lennok, who had information he couldn’t immediately know in a corner of his head, went straight down to the orchard.
