Those who have no knowledge or interest in magic will think that they have played a special trick. Like Confucius Hamel.

But I thought the mystery merchant would have magical knowledge.

Without it, Mana won't be able to use magic tools without a single torso.

Maybe the Mana circuits are closed for some reason.

Given the size and ability of the organization called the Emergency Council, it came to the conclusion that the mystery merchant may be a former wizard.

Then it's worth a try.

“You look familiar. No, technically, you were a wizard, right? ”

I empowered past mothers.

“ ……. ”

The mystery merchant remains silent.

Well, if it had been easy for me to say, I wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble. There's something positive about it, which explains the situation.

“It's common sense for Mana users to feel Mana. It's the same with magic on things. I'm Mana User, and I quickly realized that the crystal ball isn't just a thing. ”

“…… not to come, but to Mana. ”

“What? That reaction. My information is worth a million gold and doesn't that include me as Mana User? This is some bullshit business. ”

I bounced my fingers.

With a murmuring sound, the magic of the flames that burned through the air disappeared in an instant. Once again, the room is plunged into darkness.

“I thought I'd try to hear it because I think there's something going on, but I took the liberty of thinking you won't cooperate, so understand the crack in the crystal." ”

“If I'd known it was such a precious crystal ball, I wouldn't have done it. ”

“What does it do? I think it's just lightning to confuse people who come to me. Isn't that right? If it's wrong, refute it. ”

However, the mystery merchant did not succeed. It's not a trade secret, it's a stake in the heart.

“Don't worry, I'll make it better. I'm not just any Mana user. ”

“What if it's unusual? ”

“My circles are in my heart. ”

Suddenly, the mysterious merchant, who was surprised by the words, smiled.

“That's the funniest piece of information I've heard lately. I don't know where he came from, but I can't believe it even if you're a user. I'm sure you don't know about Mana's dusk. ”

“Well, that's okay. It's your freedom if you can believe it. ”

I pulled a small orb out of my arms. It was a very clear and transparent bead, and I put it on the palm of my hand and pushed it toward the mystery merchant.

Soon, a blue flame appeared with the sound of digging.

It was a much more powerful and vivid flame than the mystery merchant spark that had just lit a lightning bolt.

“No way.... ”

The bead was not much different from the crystal ball.

Of course, the mystery merchant who saw it could not keep his mouth shut. I took a moment to make it, and I threw it to the mystery merchant without taking much notice.

But the mystery merchant quickly grabs hold of the treasure with both hands.

“Think of it as a prototype and play with it. I'll make you a big one soon. The last question I was going to ask was about you. ”

“You don't care about anyone else, do you? ”

“I have a plan, too. It was a little weird the first time I saw him. No one who handles magic tools has ever said a word. I'd love to hear that story. ”

“That's not going to help you at all, is it? ”

“It's up to me to decide if it's helpful or not, and it's not up to the seller to worry about. ”

When I chuckled, the mystery man narrowed his eyes. It means I haven't read my intentions at all

I sat quietly. Then Eluna sat down with him.

“What the...... I don't know what's going on. ”

“I know I'm an advanced user, so I deserve to hear your stories, don't I? ”

The mystery merchant suffers, but we have a common denominator: magic. Eventually, he opened his mouth.

“…… Like you said, I was walking the Wizard's path. I was studying the magic of the enchantment system. ”

“If it's enchanting, is it like an enchantment? ”

“Enchantments are a part of magic. The fundamental source of enchantment is to inject every object with the magical power of its desired attribute. ”

“Sounds good.”

“Where are you from? ”

“Me? I'm not affiliated. ”

I felt like I was becoming a politician, but I said that because it was true. The mystery merchant was surprised and narrowed his eyes.

“How did you learn magic when you're not in the tower? ”

“What can't I do alone? It's a little inefficient, but it's good enough. I read the grimoire. ”

“Before that, it couldn't have been possible to operate magic on a circuit. ”

“I'm a genius. ”

Genius is sometimes convenient. Because it has the effect of eliminating the unwanted and forcing reasoning.

“…… I couldn't do that, who was called a genius. ”

“You're more naive than you look. Are all geniuses the same? ”

A bloody smile woke me up from my seat. The astounding mysterious merchant retreats, but I grabs his arm without hesitation.

“Hold still.”

And the status window was printed.

There was a line of what I wanted.

[not open]

……

He was a five-star talent, as expected. It was specialized in information gathering and human resources management, and many other useful characteristics were seen.

In other words, I am exactly what I need right now.

The mystery meeting was the organization I was going to eat anyway. If it is difficult with gold, it is enough to capture the chief's heart. When you do, the status window helps a lot.

It took me a while to like 50, but I can raise this myself over time.

He was also a nobleman.

The name suggests that they are descendants of the Damien family. Seeing that it is revenge on families and brothers in the area of interest, it seems that they did not part well.

“His name is Chris, right? ”

His eyes turned to flashlights. I never would have imagined that a name would come up.

Chris gives me strength to pull his hand out, but I hold his arm tight. You need to brand it in your head right now.

“I can't feel the magic. Is there a problem with ManaCircuit too? ”

I didn't just grab my arm to look at the status window. He spills Mana through the arteries and looks at his condition.

He didn't answer, but I got the answer.

“As expected, Manawa's circuits are completely broken. That's pretty bad, too. ”

The Mana circuit burned from start to finish.

This was not caused by Mana's mismanagement. If so, only a part of it will break off and disrupt the flow. Someone broke ManaCircuit from beginning to end, very painfully.

“Who hit you? ”

“More than that...... how did you know my name? ”

“Does your fucking name matter? ”

The expression of disbelief. However, I thought it might be so. I held his arm and was a horse.

“There's a way to find out. It's one of my specialties. I told you, I have a circle in my heart. That's why I have a special ability. ”

“ ……. ”

“I didn't do your background check. Of course, that's what your intelligence tells you. Especially not from the Horse Tower. If I did, I'd have dragged him away by the time we had this conversation. So rest assured. ”

His arm loosens. It was all true, as if he had resigned.

“What do you want? ”

“This organization and your power. ”

“You could make a tasteful organization. ”

“It's a phrase. You can guess. But I want a mystery meeting. And I need your magical knowledge. If it's magic, it's the talent I've always wanted. ”

“You're taking me under your wing? ”

“No. Partners, coworkers, to be exact. ”

Chris shut up and stared at me. I shrug, smiling.

“Of course I'm not offering you this for nothing. I just came up with something that might interest you, don't you think? ”

“Let's hear it and decide. ”

“I will restore ManaCircuit in return for accepting my offer. Then you can use magic again. ”

Chris couldn't keep his mouth shut.

It's worth it. Once the Mana circuit breaks, it's impossible to recover.

That was the norm of this world, but I have the power to make it possible. The quality of Mana I own is different.

“I can't believe it. I was once a voyeur myself. Once the Mana circuit is broken, there is no turning back. ”

“There's always a way. Is there a reason why I would lie in plain sight? ”

“ ……. ”

“Do I look like a man who spends his time talking about things he can't even talk about and uses you and your organization? I'd be disappointed if I didn't have that much attention. ”

I added something meaningful to my heart.

“If you accept my proposal, I'll show you the results tomorrow. ”

“... I don't think you're bluffing. ”

“Hahaha. Now we're talking. But there will be great pain in the process. It takes time and effort, and patience. ”

With a deep sigh, Chris mutters, looking up at the ceiling.

“I can use magic again.... ”

“If you accept my offer, it is not a dream. Think of it as a simple deal. That should be easy for you to decide. ”

I reached out as if to ask for a handshake. He hesitated for a long time, but finally held my hand.

This concluded the deal.

I brought the Mystery Council and its Masters to my feet without spending a billion dollars. I sensed what it felt like to get ten million horses.

“I leave the future of me and my organization to you. ”

“What a great person you are. Just make yourself comfortable. You look about the same age, but you can have a friend. ”

Chris smiles bitterly. But it seemed to like me.

“Do you know who I really am? ”

“Deacon Dylan of Adeline. ”

“I knew it.”

Chris won't leave my side until we reopen the Mana circuit again. There are a few things you need to be sure of to do.

“Only Confessor Hamel knows who I am inside the family. Don't tell the rest of the world who I am. ”

“I'll take that under advisement.”

“And close the door here for a while. You'd better accompany me to Adeline territory. I'll open the door to Manatee. ”

“It would be dangerous to go back in time. ”

I got the answer I was waiting for. I sat back down, smiling and gesturing.

“Let's hear it right. I need to know where those bastards are targeting us. ”
