I Will Become a Poison Detector of Darkness - Chapter 19

2. The Villain’s Lair is Safe

Episode 19

(third person pov)

‘I thought that if I took her to a safe city, she would empty the store and always go out to play.’

Leniel opened his closed eyes and grinned. The staff he has recently hired is very strange.

In the old store, he thought she would like to wander around the alleys whenever she had spare time, but when he gave her the freedom to wander, she stuck herself inside the general store. Even Gilburt was purposely attached as an escort.

She said she had a habit of walking 10,000 steps a day. 

‘I guess it was all a lie too.’

“How unnecessarily diligent.”

Giselle was eagerly dealing with guests as Leniel looked through the butterflies eyes.

‘No one can say anything about keeping the shop closed.’

After all, his general store was a store that had more days off than open days of the year.

At first, he made a suitable warehouse to store things, and it was natural, because he started with a trick. There were so many valuable items that when the store opened, the warlocks came to see it as if they were waiting for it, but they didn’t do business in one place.

They’ve moved a lot, but this was the first time they were in Van Hell. Leniel always liked to open up his general store in front of his enemy, close to them, and tease them like a joke.

Van Hell was the safest city for him, so considering his usual course, it should not have been included in the list of options.

If it hadn’t been for the newly recruited weak apprentice staff…

“Dirty warlocks!”

Leniel, who had been concentrating on other things while communicating with the butterflies from the rear, glanced away. The newly discovered three pieces (people) were kneeling in tatters.

Sejak, who had failed to commit suicide, was putting a knife on his neck, not knowing what was going to happen to him soon.

That’s stupid.

“I will open this bastard’s mouth!”

“If you leave it to me, I will dig into his head!”

Several black wizards who wanted to get Wayne’s attention came forward with excessive loyalty. Regardless of who it is left to, similar information will be extracted, and in the end, the final destination of the information will be Leniel, so it was enough to step back quietly and wait.

Normally he would have done that.

“Can I take that guy?”

Leniel, who had been standing in the back all the time, crept out with a voice. Wayne’s eyebrows twitched in response as he glanced at the warlocks indifferently. Wayne looked around as if contemplating for a moment, then finally stared at Leniel.

“Okay, I’ll leave it to you.”

“Thank you for the opportunity.”

The warlocks who had been deprived of their chance by Leniel clicked their tongue as if it was a waste. Leniel, who passed them by and approached Sejak, knelt down on one of his knees.

He grabbed Sejak’s hair and looked at him, smiled softly.

“Now, shall we have a good time?”

“I will not say a word!”

“Hmm. Just don’t die.”

If he dies, they’ll need to catch more.

Sejak’s eyes widened at the soft whisper. He parted his lips as if to say something, but couldn’t.

Wayne blinked as if telling the gathered warlocks to back away. After leaving the last warlock, Wayne slammed his office door shut and locked it. Wayne’s face was serious, making a double barrier so that no sound would leak out and no one would disturb him.

The cloth in his mouth trembled and his eyes widened. It was because he knew instinctively that something was seriously wrong.

What caught Sejak’s attention more than anything else was the change in Wayne’s attitude, who was checking the surroundings for anything suspicious. Meanwhile, Wayne’s subordinate, Leniel, was just observing Sejak’s expression, smiling.

Finally, when all the work was done, Leniel raised himself. Wayne quickly brought a chair and put it behind Leniel.

Leniel, who was sitting cross-legged in front of him, rested his hand on his chin and was silent for a moment. Then he opened his mouth in a sarcastic tone.

“How much magic should I use to have perfect silver hair?”

Wayne, who was standing with a terrifying look, paused. After contemplating for a while, he glanced at Sejak and carefully lowered his voice and asked back.

“… Are you asking me?””

At that question, he looked at Wayne with a pathetic look.

“Then who else is there? I wouldn’t have asked him to answer that question.”

“Hmm. If it’s perfect silver… Are you talking about how every strand of hair changes?”

“Right.”

‘I was wondering what happened because you said you’d get him yourself, but was it to change your hair color?’

Wayne glanced at Leniel’s side with a distrustful look.

“You can’t do it with just one.”

“How come?”

“I don’t know how much you’re going to change, but it’s too much.”

“As expected, right?”

Mumbling like talking to himself mixed with irritating emotions, Sejak also rolled his eyes anxiously at Wayne’s glance at Leniel. His busy eyes were full of confusion.

Meanwhile, Leniel, who had been thinking alone for a long time, suddenly asked another question.

“Is silver hair that pretty and shiny?”

“What?”

“Do I have to say it twice?”

Wayne fumbled over what recent changes occurred to Leniel. There were more than he thought. Among them, the biggest change was moving the entire general store…

“Was the trainee’s madness that I heard this time a contagious disease?”

At Wayne’s courteous question, Leniel burst into laughter briefly.

“You’re turning it around asking if I’m crazy.”

“If you want to use a lot of magic, just move around for a few days. If you use it ignorantly like this, you’ll run out of it quickly.”

“I can’t believe you’re saying that, I can do it all because I’m capable.”

Wayne, who was looking at him with a cold look as he hesitated and spoke, muttered bluntly.

“Effectiveness is the best.”

“It’s better to take care of it at once than to do it several times, right?”

“Unnecessary waste of mana occurs because the scope has to be expanded more than necessary.”

At Wayne’s words, who didn’t lose a word, Leniel lamented.

While the two had such a lame conversation, Sejak’s head was rolling violently. Sejak was full of confusion over the truth he faced unexpectedly. He had to tell the information he had noticed right away, but he had already been sealed.

While Sejak rolled his eyes nervously, the conversation between Leniel and Wayne continued.

“Why don’t you answer? My silver hair is pretty and shiny. You’ve seen it before.”

Leniel was in the mood to hear the answer. Wayne, who had been silent for a while, put his head very politely.

“…Take a look. Does my silver hair shine beautifully?”

“Are you crazy?”

“That’s the answer I wanted to give you.”

“Tsk, you don’t have an eye for it.”

Leniel frowned and loosened his crossed legs. With his elbow supported on his thigh and his upper body bent forward, he stared closely at Sejak.

Watching Sejak’s eyes filled with spite, he joked.

“Wayne. Come to the general store after work.”

“What’s wrong with you?”

Leniel, who kindly swept up the bangs of Sejak soaked in cold sweat, lightly said.

“I have a big fan of yours.”

“The trainee?”

“It’s not a trainee.”

“Vadro said the probationary period is a month.”

“Right, but I just wanted her to get promoted quickly. She works too hard.”

“The rumor that she was crazy was true.”

Leniel burst into laughter. Crazy was something that Giselle would hear everywhere in the future. Everywhere you look, she’s so different from ‘real one’.

The problem was that he slowly couldn’t remember the ‘real one’. At this rate, he might believe that she is real.

In fact, he wanted to know what was wrong with believing that she is who she is now, when her true nature has already disappeared…

Nevertheless, the only reason why Leniel sometimes distinguishes between real and fake was because he was very satisfied that he was the only one who recognized the fake in “Giselle Roycevin.”

No one knows her exactly. Now that he has noticed her before anyone else in the world, he was sure she was the only one who knows him in the future.

“Are you going to keep it like this?”

It was Wayne’s low-key words that kept bringing the spirit of falling into other thoughts. Leniel suddenly saw Sejak in front of him.

“Oh, that’s not going to happen. We are busy.”

Leniel asked Sejak for consent for the first time. Sejak’s eyes staring at him as if he were going to kill him were calm all the time.

“I’ll check your mind and let you go.”

Wayne, who was next to Leniel, looked at him with wide eyes.

“You will release him?”

“Yes.”

“What do you mean by that? Weren’t you trying to fix him yourself?”

“Yeah, I’m going to check the hands. I’m going to untie it, but I’ll touch it myself.”

“What is that…”

It was a high-level magic to break through the mind. And once he had penetrated his mind, the person could never return to normal. If they’re lucky, they will die without pain, and if they’re unlucky, they’ll have to live as a crazy person for the rest of their life.

The lower the ability of the magician, the more likely they’ll become a maniac, but he thought he would kill him because he came forward himself.

In addition, there was a risk of revealing the identity of Leniel if he penetrated his mind and kept him alive.

“The bait needs to look appetizing to attract my staff’s attention.”
