Drug-Eating Genius Mage -
Chapter 27
Time has passed.
Lennok led his exhausted body to the market after a long time.
For a while, he was busy with work and had no choice but to eat ready-to-eat food, but Lennok still did not give up on his dream of a healthy diet.
He is still clumsy in cutting and even measuring seasoning is a mess, but that is a problem that can be overcome with effort, apart from Lennok’s crushing motor nerves.
After all, Lennok knew very well that in order to get the nutrients he needed, he had no choice but to move on his own.
Indeed, until I met a woman with green eyes after a long time.
“long time no see.”
“Ah yes…”
City government agent Evelyn.
She is a woman with insane power and status, but with a simple hobby of growing vegetables and putting them on the market.
I had never been to that market since I met her, so I wonder if she moved the mat too.
There is nothing like this even if there is no luck.
The moment Lennok noticed her presence, he quickly restored the magic pattern that had been changing until then.
This was the magic pattern I knew when I first met her at the market.
I didn’t know if Evelyn remembered Lennok’s magic pattern, but there was nothing wrong with being careful.
Evelyn, who was staring at Lennok from across the dozens of vegetables spread out on the stall, tilted her head.
“hmm….?”
“Why do you do that?”
“It seems that the magic pattern has changed slightly, doesn’t it?”
“……”
“No. I must have been a little mistaken because I was tired these days.”
“Perhaps.”
When I greeted him with a rare friendly smile, Evelyn also nodded in agreement.
I don’t know what kind of eyes Lenok had for noticing the brief gap in which his magic pattern changed, but it was a woman who really caught my guard.
Lennok looked down at the vegetables slowly with a smile on his face, constantly repeating the thought in his head.
‘He’s a strong man who pushes against Croken. I have to be careful….. be careful…’
Lennok, who put the vegetables in the shopping cart with a relaxed look on his face, took out money from his wallet and handed it to Evelyn.
She dutifully counted all the bills and returned the change according to the value.
Even if you do it as a hobby, are you meticulous in this area?
As Lennok thought about that, he greeted me very casually and turned around.
If you just leave the market, you are successful.
The moment I took a step while thinking about that, I heard Evelyn’s voice behind me.
“Wait there.”
“…….yes?”
“What is your name?”
Evelyn asked with a puzzled face.
“Why are you curious about that?”
“For a 4th level wizard, the magic pattern is very neat. Usually guys like you who have the basics in place quickly rise to the top.”
She smiled faintly as she said that.
“Well, I might see you somewhere later. Wouldn’t it be nice to know your name?”
Her smile, which had almost no expression, was surprisingly cool.
Of course, it didn’t matter to Lennok, who knew where her real job was.
How could Lennok know if seeing him later meant seeing him as a colleague or as the agent’s prey?
When Lennok didn’t respond well, Evelyn folded her arms and put on a worried expression.
“Hmm… Actually, this is information that shouldn’t be told, but I should tell you in advance.”
“I’m not sure what that means.”
“Sooner or later there will be a massive inspection of the outlaw zone. Especially in the 40th district, I plan to intensively shake off the sorcerers who spread mats and eat taxes every day.”
“……”
It was absurdly absurd, but Lennok couldn’t laugh at the joke-like topic.
Since Lennok knew where Evelyn was working, that was no joke.
Not knowing Lennok’s speed, Evelyn smiled faintly.
“If you have connections there, you might as well hold back for a while. I don’t know if your name is on the deep web, but… you’re not doing that kind of thing, are you?”
“What do you mean by deep web?”
Lennok pretended not to know, and Evelyn passed it off as if nothing happened.
“I like it, so I tell you. Aren’t you ashamed to meet face to face?”
Of course, if I really got caught in an agent-managed inspection, it wouldn’t have ended to an embarrassing level… but I didn’t have to say that here.
Evelyn seemed to think that this was enough, and skillfully changed the topic.
“I am Evelyn. Evelyn Marcia.”
“My name is Ed James.”
Lennok, too, did not bat an eye and lied calmly.
I know the other person is a city agent, but I didn’t have to name Evan Bylon here.
I don’t want her to replace out the loopholes in that meager counterfeit status by tracking down Evan Bylon’s name.
Evelyn smiled even thicker at Lennok’s name.
“Ad James? Okay, I’ll remember.”
“I try not to forget.”
“If I can’t use the same name the next time we meet, then I’ll have to be prepared. Understand?”
“……”
Did you realize that it was a pseudonym the moment you put your name on it?
However, even though she noticed that it was a pseudonym, Evelyn, who said such things, was not an ordinary person.
Lennox nodded shyly and walked out of the market.
He felt her gaze stick to his back, but feigning composure was one of the easiest things for him to do.
After leaving the market for a while, Lennok let out a small sigh and started walking towards the studio.
“Should I look for another market…”
I never thought we would meet again here even though we had already moved to one market.
At this point, I began to wonder if she was opening a vegetable shop while touring the various markets in the city.
‘I don’t need to get close to someone who knows I’m a wizard.’
Even though it’s the second meeting, it’s still a person who makes the spine chill.
Whether it was an ally or an enemy, I never had any thoughts of wanting to be involved with her in the future.
I don’t know yet, and I don’t want to know what level of skill she is.
In case of any unforeseen circumstances, at least preparations should be made, but I have no choice but to hope that the agent of the city government will chase after the big criminals of Pandaemonium to live up to its prestige.
Lennok moved his steps while receiving a call from Jenny, who floated through the screen of his cell phone.
