Chapter 1464 – 1464. The Dark Moon
Area E.
In Korea, it is a place that can be called Myeong-dong in Seoul.
You can see countless tourists and wealthy customers. In particular, you can often see aristocrats shopping in this area.
One thing to be careful of is not to stare at the nobles. Eyes meet. Are ordinary people looking into my eyes? The same situation could actually happen. When you see an aristocrat, you have to glance around as if you are not interested. It’s best to get attention at all.
Even in Neo London’s most sophisticated downtown area, darkness existed. As opposed to colorful lights, the toxic dark street is called Eira Street.
The street was created by the descendants of Eira, who was once a hero of Neo London, doing business. Aristocrats also respect Eira and see the convenience of Eira Street knowingly or unknowingly. Of course, in reality, it is the place where the nobles’ dirty money is entangled, so they just don’t touch it.
As soon as I set foot on Eira Street, I got eyes from all over the place. It is a watchful eye.
You can’t be fooled by the gaze here. Even bluff is good. You have to look strong. That way you won’t be bothered by the annoying fight.
“Hey, fuck you. While smelling like money… Are you trying to seduce us on purpose?”
Giggling, three black men approach. Arms and legs were mechanical.
“…….”
He raised his hand and touched his face. I didn’t expect that there would be a fight in Eira Street in less than a minute.
‘Does my face look like a dick… ? Didn’t you bother hiding your power?’
Look around.
Those who look like mercenaries are looking at black people with pitiful eyes. They recognized the power I had.
‘The guys in front of me are ignorant assholes.’
When I was dumbfounded and kept my mouth shut, they seemed to think that I was scared, and they became even more energetic.
“We are in trouble right now because we don’t have money. I drank alcohol, but the price of alcohol came out right.”
“Fuck. It’s because you called a girl.”
“And she couldn’t even fuck her.”
“Shut up and chew. Anyway, that’s it. In short, that’s it. We need money lend me some money 100,000 credits is enough.”
Should I kill
Can kill you in an instant.
But there were a lot of eyes looking this way around. I have no intention of helping, and I am watching with excitement as if I have an interesting spectacle.
‘How come no one reports it to the police.’
It was to the point where I doubted if this was really Area E. I’d believe it even if it was Area X.
‘Killing is never okay. There are too many eyes to see. Fuck you, but this is Sector E. Murder is an act that crosses the line.’
You can’t just ignore it and run away.
Are you afraid to run away from these guys? Putting aside my pride, my reputation is down. Who would want to entrust a request to a mercenary running away from these guys?
“What is this bastard, retard? Why are you not talking?”
“Is asking for money that hard?”
“Do you want to hit me on the head? If I hit my TV once, I’ll be fine.”
Woo woo woo.
Mana moves. A magic circle was drawn in front of my hand. Their eyes widened wide.
“What the fuck!”
“It’s a wizard!”
“Help me!!”
As soon as they saw the magic circle, they ran away in a hurry. Judging by how quickly it splits into three parts, it must have experienced this a few times.
I reaped the magic. This is Area E, and there are many eyes around. Should refrain from
“You ungrateful bastards. I wanted to pass the time in a pleasant way….”
“At the time, whether the opponent was a wizard or a knight, I took out a gun first. Babies these days….”
“Don’t give a damn. At that time, you knelt in front of the knight and begged for it.”
“Baby. I’m pretending not to lose.”
The crowds that had gathered also disappeared. Some of the wary gazes disappeared, perhaps because I confirmed that I was a wizard.
“What is the order maker here for?”
As I was walking down the street, the owner of a Shashlik shop spoke to me. He was a middle-aged man.
“Should I report that to you?”
“I know you’re upset about what just happened, but… Don’t be too picky. I’m trying to help you It’s your first time here. Do you know the way well?”
“… I came to the Gomez Clinic.”
“A wizard looking for the Gomez Clinic? I know. Does the mana load look like shit? But he also uses magic. How did it end up like that?”
“Don’t cross the line.”
“I was just curious. Let me know and I’ll give you a Shashlik for free. Can you tell me roughly?”
“…… One bastard, Georgeda became like this.”
“Personal revenge?”
He nodded.
He smiled and handed me a shashlik skewer.
“Gomez Clinic, go straight down that road and you will see a blue pillar. If you go to the right from there, you will see a building with Gomez Clinic written on it.”
“Know. Could it be that I came here without knowing anything? Shashlik sucks.”
“Well. Shashlik with plum sauce is not very good…. Developing a new menu is difficult.”
I threw the Shashlik I was holding at him and headed for the Gomez Clinic. This guy selling Shashlik is probably an informant. He must have been trying to sell my information to an intelligence dealer. I don’t know how much information I would buy.
Arrived at the Gomez Clinic. At the counter sat a smiling woman.
“Welcome, customer. Is this your first time at our clinic?”
“I want to meet Lana Gomez.”
“Are you the manager? Sorry, customer. The director only accepts special guests.”
“A 5th level wizard.”
“…… You are a special customer. I sent a message to the manager. Oh, the director was free. You can go up to the 4th floor.”
I took the elevator and went up to the 4th floor.
I sniffed. It smelled like a hospital. I knocked on the director’s office.
“Come in.”
Open the door
A woman was sitting at a desk. She looks old, in her sixties, but she doesn’t feel old. With a sharp expression, she touched the frame of her glasses and said to me.
“The exorcist has arrived. Sit down.”
“…… An exorcist?”
“Two days ago, when the dark moon appeared, I heard you wiped out the ghosts of a village?”
“Has there already been rumors….”
At that time, he hunted for and killed ghosts until the day broke. At first, it was because the people who rushed at me were annoying, and from the middle, I got excited while testing magic. The scene was captured on CCTV, and that afternoon, London Guard received 500,000 credits as compensation.
“Is the mana load the problem? They are the only wizards who come to me.”
“I’m sure you came.”
“Say it straight-forward. There are no ingredients for mana restoration. I have all the other ingredients, but the blue distortion is a problem. They only bloom when the Dark Moon appears, so the number is limited.”
“The dark moon opened two days ago.”
“Blue Distortion is not a flower that can be easily obtained just because the Dark Moon has appeared. Cultivation is impossible. Do you think there are many people who go out to collect flowers on the day the Dark Moon opens?”
“Still, supplies are coming in little by little. Those who came before you are also waiting patiently, so just make a reservation and check-up. I’ll call you when it’s your turn. Depending on the circumstances, it may take longer than 3 months. If you twist it, go find another store.”
I put my hand in the inside pocket of my coat. For a moment, the air is tense. She puts her hand under her desk.
“I’m not trying to fight. I have no intention of threatening you.”
“Then what?”
“Blue Distortion. I have it.”
He took out the box and placed it on the desk. She opens the box and is shocked.
“Petals of Blue Distortion! Did you collect that much? Even if I can’t do it, I think it will be 5,000 copies!”
“Let’s make a deal. I want to get mana restoration right away. In return, I’ll give you 500 copies of Blue Distortion.”
“There is no such thing as a robber. You’re going to get a mana load recovery fee with just 500 cards? It is 50 million credits to restore one mana rod.”
“500 copies are the price to raise the ranking. I want to pay the rest of the mana road recovery fee.”
“… How many broken mana rods are there?”
“Sixteen.”
“I’m a 5th grade wizard, but 16 mana rods were smashed…. Why are you so calm? Even if you hold on to my leg and beg for help, it won’t be enough.”
“It sounded useless. What about the deal?”
“This deal is my loss. 800 million credits for 16 mana rods. That’s enough to buy 20,000 Blue Distortion petals.”
“If only I could live.”
It’s hard to find blue distortion, so I got it myself.
“…… There are conditions.”
“What?”
“I want you to get rid of one gang. It’s not a gang based in Neo London. They seem to be intercepting shipments on the roads north of Neo London.”
“Isn’t that what the London Guard is supposed to do?”
“The heavens know, the ground knows, and the beggars know that London Guard bastards are sluggish. Deal with them, and I want my daughter to get her stolen items back. If you don’t like… Are you looking for another restorer?”
Lana Gomez’s expression was stubborn.
I sighed.
I have no choice but to accept this request. It’s sad because it was me. This is because she is currently the most skilled and reliable investigator in Neo London.
“… Find out more about the gang here.”
“There is no back stomach. There are about 30 gang members, and they say they are cyborgs.”
“… Are you asking me to be a lightning-type magician?”
“There is a 100% commission completion rate. I judged that it was not a matter of opinion.”
“Anyway, I’ll investigate this side separately and let you know whether or not to accept the request.”
“Great. Instead, I can’t wait long. Contact us within 3 days. Enter the checker. Let’s check your mana load.”
Lana Gomez pointed to the checker. It looks like a clunky refrigerator. I sighed and walked to the examination machine.
“Should I take off my clothes too?”
“I am not interested in your naked body.”
Enter the checker. A cold chill poured from above.
‘… It’s not a refrigerator, right?’
After 30 seconds, the door to the examination machine opened. Coming out of her, I approached her staring at her monitor.
A human figure appeared on a black background. The head part was shining white, and blue lines were extending all over the body below it.
“Are these my astral and mana rods?”
“Okay. Astral is in good shape… The quality of the mana rod is also good. All 34 mana rods are circulating.”
“Isn’t it normal for mana rods to circulate?”
“That is normal. However, more than half of the magicians’ mana loads cannot be cycled. Making it circulate is part of my job…. Whoa. Where did you get the treatment? Your body is filthy clean.”
She admired Probably because of the mana shower.
“Is it important to be clean and not clean?”
“Is the wizard asking me that? That’s absurd.”
“… I learned magic by myself.”
“A 5th grade wizard self-taught? I’ve heard of it a few times, but this is the first time I’ve actually seen it. Mana Road, as the name suggests, is a road. The clearer and smoother the road, the faster Mana can run. In that sense, all of your 34 mana rods are in excellent condition. It’s a road that makes you want to step on the accelerator without thinking.”
“What about the other 16?”
“It’s in such a broken state that it’s hard to call it a road. Clogged, cut off, burned. It looks like you overused the mana rod somewhere.”
“I worked hard to kill the bastard. Is restoration possible?”
“I tried restoring a mana rod that was in a worse state than this. No problem.”
“I’m glad.”
I got up from my seat.
“I will contact you within three days.”
“Okay.”
She answered without taking her eyes off her monitor.
