Chapter 139 BizetAs a group of bison just passed south of Bizet, the capital, Tunis, was now more dangerous than Bizet.
Of course, there were ten times more troops guarding the capital, so people didn’t worry too much.
Some fled, some returned, and some remained in Wiesert. Home is here, what are you going to do away from home?
It was not easy to evacuate unless you were originally living on the street. If Bizet has a lot of wealth, it’s more difficult.
Bizet was also a popular holiday resort on the Mediterranean coast.
‘Violie Josh’, who runs a small logistics company in the port and has 5 popular resorts and hotels in Bizet, invited all the mercenaries.
As the banquet hall of her most famous and largest hotel.
Violier Josh was an unusually young white woman.
Her grandfather came to Tunisia from Europe to run a shipping and logistics business, and that was the Josh Enterprises. After that, she built a resort and hotel in Bizet, turning it into a resort.
Having inherited a fortune from his predecessor, Violier Josh has grown his business even bigger and runs farms in various places in Tunisia.
He was quite famous in Tunisia, who also had a lot of fortune in the capital Tunis.
He was a Tunisian famous for being a woman, white, and young.
She was also an arms dealer. These days, he buys hemite from Tunisia and distributes it to Europe. So for her, her existence as a mercenary was quite an important means of business.
“Oh, Violi, long time no see.”
He pretended to be quite friendly while watching Violier.
“uncle! Don’t call me like a child again and again.”
After her parents died, no one called her ‘Violi,’ except for Hach.
It was my nickname when I was young.
It was not a name that would be called beyond the age of 30.
Hachem opened his eyes and looked at the man next to Violi. It’s like a father staring at her boyfriend who her daughter had brought.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Locke.”
He was a pretty handsome white man, but he looked just like a parasitic brother to him.
“We are running Locke Military.”
“Ah… is that so? I’ve heard a lot of rumors. My name is Hatchet DeBole.”
There were dozens of unnamed mercenaries in Tunisia alone. If a farmer made a gun, he was called a mercenary. In this world, it was not the size of a large corporation as large as Black Walk, and the name Locke Military was not widely known.
The reason Hatcham knew Locke Military was because of Violier Josh.
Locke and Violier were partners in a business envisioning the creation of a conglomerate PMC in Tunisia.
“Ah, I’ve heard a lot about you. You brought a pretty good weapon this time…”
Rumored to bring FAMAS and Shock Pulse from France.
“Well, isn’t that something you don’t need?”
“Haha, well… I’m the mercenary commander, but I also trade weapons and magic stones. It must have been difficult to obtain the Shock Pulse as it is not allowed to be taken out of the United States, but as expected, you are very capable.”
“I was just lucky.”
It was literally luck. After all, someone must have made a deal with Robert, but it was only by chance that he was chosen.
“Violi, this is Yoon. You are the one who brought the weapon this time.”
Introduced Tae-Sung Yoon to Josh Violi.
Although not of real blood, Hatchet DeVole worked with Violier Josh’s father. He felt that Violier was like a nephew to him, and that Yoon would definitely help Violier’s new business.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Violier Josh.”
“You can call me Yoon.”
Tae-Sung Yoon shook hands with Josh Violi. As she skillfully drained the flow of her magical power, she scanned her inside.
‘Hmmm… that sure is a bit strange.’
Tae-Sung Yoon also studied the skills of mental attributes. Because of André Pirès, I learned Compulsion, Illusion, and Telepathy. Although he has never used it, he knows the basic structure of mental properties.
A closer look would be accurate, but I didn’t have time for that.
“If you are looking for such a weapon in the United States, do you have great connections?”
Tae-Sung Yoon told the truth, but thought that Violi showed modesty.
“Here Locke and I intend to establish a large-scale PMC in Tunisia. It’s a much bigger business than a small arms trade, and it’s a business that has a lot of potential for future development. Of course, if you wish, you can participate in this project.”
It was Locke who came up with the idea and planned this project. However, the owner of the business was Violier Josh. Because she was starting a business with her own money.
‘It is a large-scale PMC….’
It was only natural that Black Walk came to mind.
“It is like the golden age of the past, centered on PMC throughout Africa, from arms trading, dungeon raids, to selling magic crystals.”
“Violie, it would be better not to talk about such an important thing in a place like this. How about setting up a quiet place?”
Locke said to Violier.
Inviting a group of mercenaries was also a reward for their hard work, but it was necessary for the large-scale project they envisioned.
When do you create a PMC to attract mercenaries and grow your company? In particular, these days, there were no mercenaries to enter even if the PMC was established.
So, it was the most efficient way to grow the company by absorbing the existing mercenaries.
Locke interrupted her, because she didn’t even have to talk about the business’s internals and important things.
“I am fine. It sounds like an interest-generating business.”
Yoon Tae-sung wasn’t really interested. Because he didn’t come to Africa to do business.
However, I was a little curious about the condition of a woman named Violi.
‘Oh, it’s easier than I thought?’
Locke was contemplating whether to hand over information to the US Army or whether to use the Tunisian government’s contacts.
Yoon Tae-sung came over more easily than I thought.
Originally, he tried to make Yoon Tae-seong difficult by handing over information or using his personal network, and then he tried to get a good feeling by helping him. I thought I was trying to control Yoon Tae-seong’s mind through intimacy.
Looking at the atmosphere, it didn’t seem necessary.
Among the skills of the mental attribute, the methods of manipulating the mind all look the same, but the process is different.
‘Mind Control’ slowly and naturally brainwashes the mind, and Compulsion artificially manipulates the mind by forcing it.
Praxia implicitly controls will and actions as if possessed, while puppets literally have complete control over the mind.
The method Locke used against Violier was mind control.
Because this was the most natural way of brainwashing. Praxia Marionette is too showy.
The good thing about mind control is that it takes some time, but it’s so natural that the other person will never know.
I was able to know the effect of using the skill on many Awakened people. This was a skill that even the Awoken could not notice.
‘If you have mind control, it will be easier to use Praxia. After that… it’s great to use it as a puppet.’
Puppets aren’t just made quickly. I found out after failing a few times already.
It’s not difficult to turn a monster into a puppet, but it’s very difficult when it comes to humans, especially the Awakened. There was a certain stage in the domination of the mind.
“Then enjoy the banquet. We have a lot of people we need to meet for business…”
At Locke’s words, Violi also said hello to Hatchamp and moved to another seat.
After that, Yoon Tae-seong met a few people and received magic stone. All of them were mercenaries who received weapons through Hacham.
As Robert said, the business relationship was clear.
There are about 10 famous hotels in the resort town of Bizet, of which 5 were owned by Violier.
‘Compared to the past, it’s been a huge success compared to my previous theme of a suite.’
He was just a small, quirky management road manager. He stays in hotel suites for free and talks about business.
‘Certainly, mental properties are too complex and difficult.’
I signed up for a telecommunications company in Bizet and received a SIM. Runes of many skills are still registered in the Rune Network, and members actively discuss it.
The number of subscribers is now nearly 100.
Among the many skills, what Taesung Yoon is currently interested in is, of course, the mental attribute.
In addition to that, I looked at the skills of the mysterious telekinesis attribute, and analyzed and studied the structure of the runes.
Of course, it was at the level of understanding and learning what other people researched and analyzed.
– Psychic Sword
It is a skill that makes a telekinesis sword, and Yoon Tae-seong can also use it as a kinesis. However, it is a little different from creating it with the structure of runes.
There was a difference between making magic like a sword with will, and making a complete sword made of magic with the structure of runes.
While studying the structure of runes, I thought that these runes were truly amazing.
-This world is made up of various substances and laws, but if you actually know it, isn’t it all made up of runes?
I even had this thought.
The Creator created the world using runes. So, this thought was not at all absurd.
This skill was also a bit strange.
If you use this and a psychic sword, you can use the magic sword as you like, just like the gear swordsmanship.
-Storm
Firestorm, Windstorm, Frozen Storm, Lightning Storm, etc. There are many skills that can be used like a storm. There were people who analyzed and studied only the structure of the rune called ‘Storm’.
‘Does my head seem to be turning to analysis of the structure of runes too?’
As the understanding of various skills increases, how the runes are structured is gradually drawn in my head. As the structure of the runes was imprinted, it seemed to create a small world with the runes in my head.
When you first learn programming, you have to think and code one by one, but as you gain experience and your understanding increases, the overall process and results are pictured in advance in your mind.
Yoon Tae-seong read most of the discussion process of the numerous skills studied in the Rune Network. This is very helpful in understanding the structure of runes.
– Praxia
-Puppet (Marionette)
Research on the skills of these mental attributes was also being done, but the mental attributes are a bit tricky for these geniuses as well. This is probably because there are not many studies that have been done in reality.
‘I think this is it?’
-mind control
While reading the runes of the skill, Yoon Tae-seong got the feeling that it was similar to the flow of magic that Violier had grasped.
I have read numerous research leads on the structure of runes. The discussion was also junggu heating, but as the lead progressed, many opinions were gradually sorted out.
Anyway, after all, this was a question with a correct answer.
If you understand the structure of the runes, you might be able to release mind control.
It’s because Yoon Tae-sung can unravel the structure with the flow of magical power.
The question is, ‘Who used mind control on Violier Josh?’ Just looking for that person.
‘Is this a person named Lok?’
I have my doubts, but I can’t be absolutely sure.
Africa does not even have a system for registering the awakened. So, even Tae-seong Yoon couldn’t figure out what the attributes and skills of the person named Locke were.
The greatest ability of human intellect was analogy. You can infer the effect from a single clue, or you can find the cause from the result.
It was clear that a man named Locke was the prime suspect.
