Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 161



train (2)

So skilled….

It is a modifier that seems meaningless at first glance but it is something that Lenno can never ignore.

In some ways that must be the word that best describes the wizard named Lennok.

But instead of being embarrassed by those words Lennok smiled leisurely.

Because I have never been negligent in hiding myself even for a single moment.

Beyond simply changing his appearance and magical power patterns he plays a completely different person by changing the texture of his skin and even the perfume he uses.

It was impossible for a wizard from a research lab to spy on the true nature of something that had never been revealed even during a battle between life and death.

If you felt that Lennok was extraordinary in his appearance it would not be because you realized his talent or identity but because of other factors.

“That’s fun.”

At first glance the bold reasoning and bold words and actions seemed rude but Lennoc found them to be likable.

Immature trading methods and attitude towards people. However despite this he possesses the sharp intuition and judgment skills of a wizard.

At the same time his confident attitude of not hesitating to seek cooperation even from people he met for the first time seemed to overlap with some of the freelancers Lennok knew.

“Can I hear why you think that?”

Cassia answered immediately.

“Well it wasn’t a difficult task… First of all the vital response I can sense is quite blurry. “This is the first one.”

“….”

“The fact that it is not easy to sense his presence even though he is sitting right in front of me means that he is either a wizard who is skilled in manipulating magic or someone who is capable of obtaining an artifact of that level. “It’s obvious just by looking at this.”

“What about the second?”

“The tobacco you are blooming.”

Cassia laughed.

“It’s from Plumber Orchard right? “I know… because because of my personal circumstances I’ve been looking into similar things.”

Are you saying that he was looking for narcotic tobacco to find the painkiller his aching body needed?

I wasn’t surprised because I knew that Byla suffered from some kind of rare disease.

“And that tobacco is definitely Red Scarlet… It is a very high-end product that some unlucky old man complains about because it is difficult to make. “If you think about the nature of the spirit that receives the customer the person who received the item must also be a person of considerable skill.”

“….”

Plumber’s Orchard…. Lennok quickly remembered and was convinced.

Considering that I met the Antares mercenary office at the botanical garden at that time it seems that his products are popular on the market regardless of whether it is sunny or shaded.

Meanwhile it wouldn’t be strange to find Cassia among his guests.

However it could be said that her insight in recognizing the Red Scarlett and deducing Lennok’s identity is also not at an ordinary level.

Considering the meaningful words the old man who seemed infinitely light occasionally uttered the old man in the orchard was probably not an ordinary person.

I was thinking about having a separate talk with the old man someday but it wasn’t something I needed to do right now.

Lennok smiled slightly after hearing that.

He answered slowly holding the tobacco in his mouth between his fingers.

“You have very sharp judgment. “He is indeed someone who serves Director Bayla Research Institute on the front line.”

“….”

This time it was her turn to keep quiet.

It was quite a sight to see the look on her face at the moment when her true identity was revealed after she had worked hard to guess Lennok’s talent.

The corners of her mouth faintly visible beneath the mask could be seen trembling.

“I’m sorry. “Who am that kind of person?”

She lost her composure for a moment and tried to move away but immediately realized there was no point and lowered her head.

Instead sharp magical power began to slowly flow out.

Weeing…!!

“…What are you? “Are you coming for me?”

It wasn’t an incomprehensible reaction.

“I think you’re misunderstanding something.”

However Lennok tilted his head slightly at the sensitive reaction and said

“If you hadn’t spoken first I wouldn’t have had to give you this answer.”

“that…!”

“There wouldn’t have been a chance of getting caught off guard by saying things that seemed like they were trying to guess each other’s identities.”

It was Cassia who spoke first and the one who brought Lennok who seemed bothered into conversation so what was there to say?

It was she who even tried to force the conversation by bringing up ideas related to talent.

“….”

“I said earlier that trains using unofficial routes are bound to be targeted but considering their affiliations this is ultimately a battle of strife between research institutes… It must be a political maneuver that also involves the health of Research Institute Director Bayla.”

Cassia’s complexion turned white as Lennok’s words struck the core at once.

“How on earth can you do that….”

Lennok spoke as if to put an end to the conversation.

“Nothing you worry about will happen. “The reason I’m heading to the Dominion has nothing to do with their personal circumstances.”

“…He is a lot more dangerous than you think.”

In the end it’s Seosun’s problem. It was impossible for her to first ask for Lennok’s cooperation and now doubt him.

Cassia sighed and said. However his fingertips were trembling slightly as if he had not yet regained his composure.

“Anyway this is all I want to say. I would like you to make a decision as soon as possible. “I have to go see if I can ask others to cooperate as well…”

“That won’t be necessary.”

“yes?”

“Of all the people on this train right now we are the only two with decent combat capabilities.”

Even before entering the train Lennok had checked all the passengers inside and assessed the risk.

The only ones who are able to fight like a battle here are a cyborg whose entire body has been replaced by a machine and a gentleman wearing a fedora. And there was only one gunner sitting in the rearmost compartment of the train and snoring.

And the magic power and momentum felt from those three were not that impressive.

“It might be better for you to hand over all the artifacts you brought me and ask me to resolve the matter.”

“Look I know your intuition is very sharp but-”

Cassia was about to say something when she saw Lennok’s upset face.

Goooooong!!

A dull impact sound echoed from the back of the train.

It wasn’t something that came from close enough to directly interfere with traffic but it couldn’t have been a coincidence as we were running down the railroad tracks.

“….”

The two wizards activated their magic detection at the same time as if they had promised.

Lennok who first realized the identity of the noise frowned and Cassia’s complexion turned white.

“This is…”

Lennok said with a sigh.

“It looks like the friends you were worried about have arrived.”

A radius of several kilometers where the train runs.

More than thirty figures were approaching at high speed.

Seeing that the approach speed was constant and evenly maintained on average it was probably a chase using a bike or car.

It is a group action that cannot be seen without knowing that a train to the Dominion is running at this time and that the scouts are away.

Yakseon Jenny and Jorden are the only ones who know that Lennok is heading to the Philenom Dominion and their identities have changed long before departure.

Considering that the hunched-backed man who guided the train was also contacted just before the operation the possibility that the information was leaked is extremely low.

In that case the target of those tracking the train now is not Lennok but the fellow passenger sitting next to him.

Cassia seemed to have similar thoughts as she shook her shoulders with an embarrassed expression.

As of now only two wizards with excellent magic sensing abilities have noticed but soon other passengers will also notice that they are being tracked.

Eventually someone had to step up and resolve the situation.

“ha…”

It’s annoying to have to help with something like this but in the end no matter what happens shouldn’t the train arrive safely in the Dominion?

This train even runs once a month.

If I miss this moment today I might have to suck my fingers again in the Balkans.

Letting go of Cassia’s circumstances and causing the train to break down was a complete reversal.

Lennok said while rubbing out the tobacco that only had the filter remaining.

“First explain the situation to the driver and tell him to speed up the train.”

“yes?”

“I think you can tell them not to stop the train no matter what happens and come back and lend a helping hand.”

Lennok stood up as he said that.

“I’ll try my hand at the rest.”

“…all right. “I’ll take care of it and come back as quickly as possible.”

Fortunately she immediately understood what Lennok meant and quickly headed to the front of the train.

Instead of continuing Lennok walked to the very back of the train.

Grrr!!

An empty old room.

I see a furry baby sleeping peacefully unaware of all this commotion.

Lennok checked the large rifle case lying at his feet and picked it up without hesitation.

Even though Lennok deliberately approached him with his presence known he was not yet able to wake up so he was not a very skilled musketeer.

It would be much better for Lennok to pick it up himself and use it to appropriately conceal his identity.

I sat across from the furry boy and calmly held the rifle case in my hand.

The security device attached to the case blocked Lennok but when Dabi was called the hacking was completed in two seconds and the case was opened.

“hmm….”

[Still as a gunner he carries some pretty good stuff.]

Just as Dabi said as he landed on Lennok’s shoulder the item that appeared inside the case was much better than expected.

Originally used only as a sniper rifle it seemed to have been modified so that it could be used in urban warfare.

The rifle which is equipped with a scope with a floating screen and a handle with a biometric recognition system and various types of laser pointers made you realize how much effort the furboy put into his weapon.

Lennok scratched his cheek after checking the elaborate custom-made pure white and ivory decorations.

“I was planning on using it and throwing it away… but I guess I’ll have to return it nicely.”

Although Lennok enjoyed picking up and using other people’s artifacts and relics he was not a thief enough to take things from people who had done nothing wrong.

It would be enough to just use it briefly and then return it.

“Unlock Dabi’s biometric identification code.”

[Confirmed.]

As soon as Lennoc grabbed the handle of the ivory rifle the red light on the screen instantly turned green.

Slam!

Lennok who lifted it without difficulty looked into the magazine and muttered.

“Has it been modified to be compatible with bullets of various calibers? “The money must have been broken….”

[I believe it will not be impossible if modifications combined with magic are used. This is probably the type of person who invests that much in their own equipment.]

“Hmm.”

Feeling sorry for no reason Lennok cast a simple sleep spell on the furry boy.

He doesn’t need to know what’s going to happen from now on so it might be better to just sleep.

Lennok left the back cabin passed the other passengers who were struggling and immediately opened the train’s entrance.

Kwaaaa!!

The cold dawn wind suddenly poured into the cabin and the noise of the train running down the tracks rang loudly.

Only the scenery of the grassland passing by quickly in the darkness is vaguely visible.

“Wait a minute what are you doing?”

“Are you out of your mind? “Close the door quickly!!”

“Strange guys are targeting this train right now!!”

Still it seems that some of the passengers were able to sense magical power and were somehow aware of what was going on.

However Lennok who had already realized that there was no one among them who could be helpful ignored the words coming from behind him and walked out the door.

“Are you planning on jumping off a moving train?”

“Ha but it might actually have a better chance of surviving.”

“Are you crazy now?!”

Without hesitating Lennok threw himself out of the train leaving those who were mistaken.

Faaah!

At the same time he uses the magic thread attached to the ceiling of the train to balance his body casts a floating spell on his coat and levitates his entire body upward.

Crunchy soup!!

“Ugh…!!”

Although he was unable to land and rolled around loudly Lennok managed to get onto the roof of the train.

Dabi didn’t say anything when he saw Lennok’s loud rolling. It was a small consideration from the spirit.

Although he looked a bit unsightly due to his poor athletic ability he achieved his intended goal.

Lennok immediately pulled out dozens more strands of magic thread and firmly fixed his body to the train ceiling then affixed the rifle he was holding to his shoulder.

Slam!

“Please prioritize shooting Dabi.”

[Numbers are assigned to 37 life-responsive bodies approaching from 300 meters behind. 17 bodies are on the lower left side of the train. 20 vehicles are approaching from the upper right at a speed of 70 km/h.]

Doo doo doo doo…!!

An exhaust sound faintly heard from afar.

I knew it as soon as I heard it. It was a bike.

[Coming.]

Buaaaa!!

As soon as Dabi finished speaking dozens of bikes pushed back the darkness and appeared from behind the train.

The meticulousness can be seen at a glance from the fact that the headlights are not turned on perhaps to avoid leaving traces.

Looking at them speeding along without any hesitation it seemed like they had not yet seen Lennok on the roof of the train.

First let’s deal with the guy who tries to get on the train first.

As I put my eye on the scope I naturally increased my magic power.

[Aim correction]

[Precision shooting]

[Accretion]

Weeeeeee…

The feeling of magical power rotating inside the gun is different.

Perhaps because it was a custom-made product it seemed to have a higher magic conductivity than any other gun Lennok had.

In an instant the rifle which had absorbed three types of shooting assistance magic began to glow darkly and make a low sound.

Lennok immediately aimed the blunt object in his hand at the first bike trying to break down the train door.

I pulled the trigger while feeling the cold night breeze.

As soon as an unfamiliar recoil caught my finger the muzzle burst into flames.
