Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 163

train (4)
Whioooo!!
As I crawl onto the roof of the train and reach the front with the loud sound of the wind blowing past my ears I feel the wind blowing even stronger.
Perhaps because it was the first car to move through the night wind the vibrations of the car shaking back and forth felt particularly louder than the train car I had boarded earlier.
Lennok immediately fixed his body with the magician and calmly raised his magic power.
“Dabi. Can you assist with calculations?”
What needs to be done from now on is something that cannot even be attempted without some degree of precise calculation and quantified results.
While sharing Lennok’s magical power detection a calculation assistant was needed to set a standard for comparing the information she received and assist her in making decisions.
[Of course let’s begin.]
“good.”
[Magnetic Control]
The most basic magnetic force manipulation magic. It is a common magic used to pull or push metal by maximizing magnetism one of the basic properties of magic.
There are things the current Lennok can do with just this basic magic.
After fixing the magical power in the body with the left hand swing the right hand low.
Wood clatter!!
At the same time the track in front of the train slightly twisted and then began to bend slightly to the left.
Ddddddddd!!
A strange sound rang out as the railroad tracks fixed to the ground were bent but the rusty and old screws of the railroad tracks were easily pulled out of the ground and bent the railroad tracks in an instant.
The direction of the train began to change little by little along the curved track.
Toward the crossroads that split just before.
[Inclination angle 27 degrees. Turnover rate 41%. Rigidity 178%. Joint error 10%. Train operation is possible normally.]
“Huhhh…!!”
Tdu-duk-duk!
It’s not over here yet.
They succeeded in changing the direction by bending the railroad tracks right in front of the train but in the end they ended up cutting off part of the railroad tracks and forcibly creating a new road.
Once the curved track ends the train’s wheels will fall to the bare ground and this old means of transportation will overturn in an instant.

Although it was an old train the speed was not slow and there was not much time to think.
There are less than 5 seconds left until the train unable to overcome its inertia crashes into the bare ground where the tracks have been broken.
However Lennok turned his right hand backwards with a calm expression and strongly bent his fingers.
Woooo!!
His powerful magical power which spans a radius of several tens of meters reaches the railroad tracks where the train last passed.
The moment Lennok completely enveloped one section of the track with his magic he pulled the track forward with all his might using magnetic control.
The railroad tracks ripped out of the ground rotated dozens of times in the air and landed right in front of the train.
The train’s wheels dramatically touched the newly appeared tracks and moved forward powerfully.
Go go go go!!
“next.”
There is no time to rest. The process of immediately tearing down the railroad tracks that had passed once and laying them in front of the train to create a new path is repeated.
In other words Lennok is directly manipulating the direction of the train by laying the tracks directly on the bare ground.
An idea that wouldn’t be strange if others saw it and thought it was crazy.
However Lennok was implementing the idea exactly as he had imagined.
Precise assistance through Dabi’s powerful computing power and sophisticated magical manipulation abilities that surpass him.
And a strange solution created by combining sharp judgment that encompasses all situations.
But the effect was more evident than anything else.
The train which had gone astray at a crossroads and was moving away from the road to Dominion suddenly began to narrow the distance back to its original track.
Doo doo doo doo!!
The process of removing the railroad that has passed once and moving it forward then pulling out the railroad underneath and laying it in front is repeated.
No matter how much Lennok you have this process is impossible without pouring your full concentration into it.
Because I was concentrating on reducing the range of my magic detection it was not easy to estimate the distance.
Lennok who was slightly sweating asked.
“Dabi how much distance is left?”
[It joins the original route about 50 meters away. Please be careful of shock.]
“Just 50 meters…!!”
It arrives in just a few seconds.
Lennoc gritted his teeth and threw magical energy into the tracks turning the train around.
At the same time the train passes through the darkness and lands on the railroad tracks that appear before our eyes.
Wow!!
“Ha… You should have told me sooner.”
Only then did Lennok sigh flop down on the floor and speak.
Dabi escaped from Lennok’s arms and floated in the air waving his tail.
[That’s rude. As I narrowed down the magical power detection range my detection range decreased. It may be necessary to keep this in mind.]
“Normally there was no need to reduce the magical power detection range… Is this what your senses are linked to my magical energy ultimately boils down to?”
Lennok muttered as he took out a pack of tobacco from his inside coat pocket.
“It wasn’t an easy task but in the end we succeeded in shaking off the intruder.”

In the process they circled around the agency they were occupying so all that was left was to destroy the additional strength of the biker gang following from behind.
Seeing Cassia’s magic power pulsating from behind it seemed like a battle had already begun with the additional pursuit team that had entered.
“I need to get it over with here so they don’t chase me all the way to the Dominion Territory.”
Lennok raised the rifle he had borrowed from the furry Gunner earlier and raised his magic power as he brought his eyes to the scope again.
It took less than three minutes for Lennok to help Cassia finish the chase.
* * *
“From here you have to walk.”
The engineer said looking somewhat distraught.
It is not something that cannot be understood.
The commotion that occurred last night was not something a driver without any magical power could endure.
It would be even more so if you had seen Lennoch build a road by supplying railroad tracks right in front of your eyes.
“Due to the Dominion environment there will be a stop at the entrance. You can enter the Dominion if you use the transportation they provide.”
After hearing the engineer’s words the passengers immediately got off the train and hit the ground.
Although there was a disturbance in the middle of the night there was virtually no direct damage to the train.
Although the other passengers who were awake at the time were confused they seemed to understand that the gang had been destroyed.
The sight of the furry Gunner waking up a while later and looking confused while holding his rifle was a little disturbing… but wouldn’t it be okay if he used it well and returned it?
With that in mind Lennok walked toward the direction indicated by the engineer.
It’s a special terrain of the Dominion… I heard about it from Jenny beforehand but this is my first time seeing it with my own eyes.
Perhaps the ‘transportation’ that the driver refers to also means something closely related to the terrain.
Meanwhile a familiar voice suddenly came from behind. It was Cassia.
“I was thankful for what happened that night.”
“No I didn’t do this for free.”
In the end Lennok succeeded in receiving in return the artifacts that Cassia had brought out in front of him at that time.
As it is an artifact the performance itself is good but since it is an object produced by the research institute itself it is aimed at popular commercialization rather than professionalism for magicians.
Basically this may be because the development policy of research institutes directly under the city government is focused on convenience rather than pursuing depth.
Items such as explosive amulets that are simply used as consumables as well as items such as antennas that can perform a concealment spell in a specific space or take the role of a communication device.
Lennok was not joking when he said he would take them all.
Even if all of this was collected it was unclear whether his ransom would be covered.
Of course I ended up helping protect the train even without receiving anything in return but I had no intention of turning down what was offered.
Cassia said as she walked next to Lennok whether she knew this or not.
“You’re a much stronger wizard than I think right?”
“….”
“I saw what they did to divert the train. “There is no doubt that he is a user of magnetic magic. If he has that much power he must belong to the Magic Tower or be naturally gifted with special magic.”
After saying that she took out a business card from her pocket and held it out to Lennok.
“For some reason I can’t show my face here but they know my affiliation anyway so I don’t think there’s any need to hide it.”
[Deputy Researcher Carlyle Institute]
[Akasha Rubenil]
Akashara… It seems that the name Cassia was appropriately a change to her real name.
“If you come to the lab later I can show you some of the projects our lab is working on. “A wizard as good as you would be very happy.”
“Hmm that’s really….”
This is a scene I never want to think about.
I wanted to secretly stop by and see what kind of technical support Labatenon University was providing.
Akasha looked like she wanted to say something more but soon she was satisfied with neatly handing over her business card and turned around.
It seemed like she was planning to enter the Dominion with another guide as she had come to the Dominion under orders from the head of the Bayla Research Institute.
It was only after Lennok watched her retreat that he was able to clearly see the path to the Dominion.
Gooooo-
“….”
An endless plateau.
The scenery that seemed to continue beyond the horizon was unnaturally cut off at some point and a distant cliff took its place.
Even though the actual scenery cannot be seen beyond the dense fog everyone knows that the height is easily tens of meters.
The name of the sea beyond this cliff located at the tip of the northeastern part of the continent is the ‘Sea of Understanding.’
The special rising air current that blows here creates a powerful floating force with only a very small amount of horsepower.
And the area created by the characteristics of the sea of understanding is-
“This is my first time seeing it in person.”
“Oh my god there really is an island floating in the sky….”
It was the Philenom Autonomous Territory a colony of floating islands.
The ‘special terrain’ of the Dominion that Jenny and Jordon talked about all stems from this and the reason is immediately understandable.
For Lennok the community of countless islands floating in the air above the sea was a strange and mysterious landscape he had never seen before.
Islands with lush vegetation float above the clouds and streams of water falling from various islands slowly disappear into the thick fog.
It was such a beautiful sight that even Dabi peeked his head out from inside the embrace and looked up at the sky.
[It’s a superb view.]
“…”
Because of this unexplored landscape this historic site was once called the end of the world and was also used as a place to observe the approaching apocalypse from the open sea.
Therefore it was also the location of the ‘lighthouse’ where Madrea Falseer the Heavenly Dog lived.
“It would have been nice if I had just come to enjoy sightseeing but….”
There is a lot of work to be done.
In addition to finding the location of the drug lord’s safe he also had to meet the next lighthouse keeper and get an explanation of what was happening.
Is it just a coincidence that two agendas overlapped in the autonomous territory?
How far will this work extend? And for Lennok whether something is good or bad can only be known when he encounters it himself.
I suppressed my complicated feelings and looked up at the sky.
Only the scenery of the island floating quietly was silently stealing Lennok’s attention.

“Now if you’re coming to the Dominion please come this way!”
A large building located at the edge of a cliff.
A young man wearing a hat began to explain to people in front of a building with a unique exterior that looked like a rest area on the highway that had been converted into a different landscape.
Looking around it seems like quite a few people are coming to visit the Dominion aside from others who came by train from the Balkans.
This probably happens because there is a designated entrance to the Dominion from the outside.
If you think about it that way it is somewhat understandable why the Balkans do not hastily enter into war with the Dominions.
Considering the unique environment of a colony of floating islands and the environment of the Sea of Understanding which can only be accessed using a special means of transportation there is a high possibility that the war with the Dominion will proceed completely differently from the previous pattern.
“If you are visiting for the first time you should especially listen to me carefully!!”
While I continued to think the young man continued to explain.
As soon as the button on the remote control was pressed the screen lifted and a metal object approximately 2 meters long appeared from behind.
It has a slim streamlined shape and looks like a mixture of half fish and half fighter plane.
The metal body which appeared to be designed to minimize air resistance had small fin-shaped wings on both sides.
