Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 159
by Jessie@AFNCC
Philenom Dominion.
Even a month ago I wouldn’t have been impressed when I heard about this area… but now it’s different.
Wasn’t the Dominion the place where the next lighthouse keeper promised to meet at a conference held not long ago?
It is known as an area on alert due to the risk of war with the megacity Balkan and as a remote area where the Heavenly Dog Madrea Falseer nests but the reality is probably a bit more complicated.
Did she know?
There is only one thing I am curious about now.
The next lighthouse keeper. As she is Cheon-gyeon’s granddaughter she must have inherited at least some of Cheon-gyeon’s ‘eyes’.
How far was she seeing with her heavenly eyes which were said to have seen through the future and the end?
Does a fixed future exist?
“…Whew.”
Lennok who was looking out the window with his arms crossed inadvertently burst into laughter.
This is a question that cannot and should not be asked.
In the end no matter what answer Lennoc receives he will not be satisfied with it.
“I guess something happened?”
“yes?”
Raoul who was bending down right next to me said.
He was wearing thick gloves on both hands and was touching something very carefully.
The rainbow-colored gem attached to the Archangel’s Compassion shone brightly as it was placed on the old workbench.
Dabi was floating around in a restless manner.
“The momentum is very sharp.”
Raoul did not notice the spirit’s appearance and continued speaking calmly levitating the jewel with his magic power.
“It’s so creepy as if someone has been killed. “That’s not a very good thing.”
“It’s work…”
Lennok answered with a wry smile.
“It wasn’t a big deal.”
“So have you been thinking about what to do from now on?”

“……”
The streets of District 44 where Buyeo-affiliated warlocks reside.
Lennok had been visiting Raoul for a long time to dispose of the artifacts obtained from the exploration team.
Before leaving for the Dominion the purpose was to dispose of useless artifacts in advance exchange them for money and wear useful items after checking their abilities.
It wasn’t that difficult to check the abilities contained in the artifact with Lennok’s eyes but it would still be better to check it with the eyes of an expert.
As a result Lennok was able to obtain the Nyx badge which confuses life reactions a ring that can recharge reserve magic power and a dagger with a curse formula even though he had a large amount of money in his hands a whopping 3 billion cells.
After losing the laser cutter while carrying out a nominated request I was lacking auxiliary weapons to use in close combat but the items left behind by Irina Fesfield after her death were of great help.
‘With this amount of funds there will be no shortage of money in the Dominion.’
That’s more money than the house he’s staying in right now.
Even if you were to obtain an elixir using this it would be possible to obtain a fairly high grade medicine.
But the more important thing than that is none other than the rainbow-colored jewel in his hand.
The magical power that faintly flowed from both wrinkled hands carefully lifted the jewel and placed it on the silver staff.
A pair of wings floating on either side of the staff.
When I placed the jewel in the empty space in the center and slowly adjusted its position a soft wave came out and brightened the room.
Paaaa…!!
A strange wave flowing out from a harmonious mix of various power sources including magic power and main power.
This would be proof that the relics created at that time were not comprised of just one magic system.
“It’s done.”
Raoul who had been drenched in sweat during that short period of time straightened his bent back and let out a deep sigh.
“This is the end of the adjustment. Looking at the structure of the relic it seems to have been made to be detachable from the beginning… but it is not my job to check whether its previous function has fully returned.”
“thank you.”
As Lennok said that he took the staff from Raoul and held it in his hand.
Ugh…!!
Length slightly shorter than the forearm. The wings rising along the soft streamlined decoration gently flutter in time with the waves.
The sight of it swimming and emitting a warm glow as if it were alive gave off a feeling of reverence.
Raoul who was watching the scene from the side quietly admired it.
“No matter how many times I look at it it’s an incredible relic. “It must have been a masterpiece created by a very talented craftsman who devoted his soul to it.”
“……okay.”
“It is also an extremely rare Holy Light type relic… I heard that you have many abilities that have not yet been revealed but wouldn’t your talent pay off quickly?”
“……..”
Certainly the waves emanating from the staff were emitting holy light but Lennok knew that.
A tool is just a tool. The fact that we shouldn’t attach much meaning to it.
Considering that Irina casually used this relic while stabbing a member’s heart with a magic sword in the end a tool does not discriminate between its owners.
It’s good to have powers other than magic but on the other hand you should be wary of relying too heavily on them.
‘Still it’s worth looking into the transference ability more deeply… I have no choice but to experiment with it myself.’
As Lennok thought so he stuck his cane into the inside of his coat.
A wide double coat. Therefore it is quite helpful in storing various items including revolvers.

Since I did not yet have enough magical power to cast a shrinking spell on the relic I had to endure the inconvenience of carrying the Archangel’s Compassion.
[Uhm…..]
By connecting the rainbow-colored jewel and the wand to restore the relic to its intact state Dabi who had unintentionally lost the jewel flew around with a grumpy expression.
Lennok couldn’t say anything directly about his dissatisfaction and when he saw her just flying around in the direction of his eyes he chuckled.
In any case it would be impossible to fully bring out the artifact’s abilities without Dabi so it was planned to be left to her to handle the archangel’s pity as it had been up to now.
If you build a close connection with Dabi in the process it won’t be that difficult to use it in battle.
Lennok paid Raoul for this work and stood up.
“I am indebted to you.”
“I would be grateful if you brought me these artifacts. Although some time has passed since the city government’s inspection was lifted it takes time for the commercial district in District 44 to become active again. “It would be nice if even a customer like this would come.”
Raoul greeted Lennok at the door as he left the store.
hazy sky. The weather is gloomy as if it is going to rain at any moment.
I thought it would be a good idea to go back before it started raining.
Raoul’s low voice came from behind Lennoc who adjusted his coat collar and was about to turn around.
“I’m sorry I can’t help you much because I’m a warlock.”
“no.”
Archangel’s Compassion as its name suggests is a relic armed with powerful auxiliary skills and Holy Light-type abilities.
Even without mentioning the old-fashioned compatibility between a warlock and a priest there was a high possibility that Raoul providing more help in this area would be inefficient.
“But I’ve heard about similar artifacts. I once heard of a series of ancient artifacts that shared the name Archangel. “I think it probably has nothing to do with the wand you brought.”
Raoul said and quietly looked down at the archangel’s pity.
“If you’re thinking of uncovering the hidden abilities of the relic it wouldn’t be a bad idea to look towards the Church. “On the outside they pretend to be honest ascetics but on the inside they are rumored to be more sinister than anyone else.”
“…I’ll remember that.”
It’s a religious country.
Was it a term referring to a sphere of influence created mainly by those who were born with Holy Light-type abilities?
I heard that although it nominally has the form of a country it is fundamentally a community that is not much different from a megacity.
If you remember Raoul’s words you might be able to visit someday.
It would be nice if Dabi awakened all of the artifact’s abilities before then but things don’t always work out the way people want.
After that Lennok exchanged a few words with the old man and turned his back.
After cashing out the artifacts in hand and equipping useful items preparations are almost complete.
All that remains is to receive the refined data from Jenny and set off.
As I left Area 44 I held my cell phone in my hand but lowered my hand when I felt sharp gaze from those around me.
“Wizard from District 49… What brings you here?”
“Has there been any work recently that would warrant him coming to this area?”
“I have to be careful. “There was a rumor that he only chose to do large-scale projects.”
“Contact the others to see if something has happened in the nearby area.”
Perhaps because it was an area with a large number of magicians the rate of people recognizing him and being wary of him was quite high.
It was a little annoying but it wasn’t a big deal.
From the beginning we assumed this situation and created an identity as a class to operate.
If you need anonymity just create a different face and magic pattern.
Rather in a situation like this it seemed better to definitely raise the name of the class higher.
As he stepped forward with his shoe sole and gently spread his magical energy he could feel the people around him flinching as they peeked at him.
Wow!!
“Did you see it?”
Perhaps because they were the same magicians they seemed to have a rough sense of Ban’s power just from that brief sound.
The people whose complexions became pale hurriedly turned their heads and moved away.
“…I was rude.”
“I heard he’s famous for being cruel with his hands so I need to be careful.”
“Among freelancers you are the biggest name that has emerged in a long time. “We might be able to work together in the future so let’s try to please him.”
People were scattering away and conversely people were approaching him with their eyes shining with his magic.
“My name is Ahmad Langley. I run a small office. “If you need someone please contact me.”
“I’m Warren Holland. I’m looking for a useful wizard. “I can give you any amount of money so come to the address on my business card when you have time.”
The people gathered on this street are all different and have different thoughts.
When he saw Lennok lose his temper he was cautious and thought that if he didn’t disobey him he might get a chance to work together again next time.
On the contrary he boldly decided that he could get Lennok’s attention if he approached him at this opportunity and appealed to him with his proactiveness.
Each person reacts differently to a person’s choice with their own judgment.
okay. Because it was a place like this Lennok also rushed straight into this street without looking back.
Lennok was lost in thought as he received the business card handed to him.
I could hear others clicking their tongues in the distance.
Let’s stop thinking about complicated things.
No matter what the lighthouse keeper says Lennok will definitely come back to this street again.
It was enough to just remember that and leave the city.
It was time to leave for the Dominion.
