Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 166



Floating island colony (3)

As soon as Lennok picked the flower without the slightest hesitation he reached out his hand toward the sapling next to it.

Two flowers three flowers four flowers five flowers… It took less than five minutes for Lennok to have over thirty flowers in his hands in an instant without a single failure.

Weizen stuttered and stretched out his hand at a sight that did not make sense.

“…Now wait a minute. This is…”

“Your skill in manipulating magical power is amazing…! “Of all the friends I’ve seen recently he’s by far the most overwhelming.”

The old man who had been explaining things to the magicians earlier was looking down at the two.

Was he patrolling this area?

The old man’s expression on Lennok softened in an instant.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a flower that remains so vibrant even after falling from the tree. The young fellow learned very well. “Are you interested in working on my farm one more day?”

Lennok answered as he straightened his back and stood up.

“it’s okay. “There are a few more places to stop by besides here.”

“Don’t be like that… If you have that level of skill you won’t have to go around bending over.”

The eyes of the old man rubbing his palms together glowed greedily.

“If you do just two favors for this old man I can show you my secret secret… Are you interested?”

“….”

Lennok did not answer but met the old man’s gaze.

Baizen was looking at the two people nervously with an irritated face.

There was a moment of silence and Lennok smiled and shook his head.

“sorry. “I’m afraid it will be difficult to stay long because my schedule is pushed back.”

“…okay? If that’s the case there’s nothing we can do. It’s too bad. “I wanted to show someone as talented as you some valuable items I recently received.”

“You mean something valuable?”

“okay. Recently thanks to someone who supports the Dominion I have been able to obtain as many rare seeds as I want.”

Sponsorship… It was not strange that there were people who supported the plant beyond using the floating island colony.

If it was that valuable it would have been okay to take a look at it… but Lennok was concerned about the old man’s gaze so he eventually refused.

He is a person who is not used to hiding his true feelings.

When a person like that says something meaningful out loud it’s usually met with embarrassment.

Until now I had no intention of doing freelance work.

When Lennok turned him down the old man licked his lips with a disappointed expression.

“Well I’m glad you don’t feel sorry for me. “If you remember later let me hear it one more time.”

“great. “For now let’s end today’s work with this.”

The old man nodded as Lennoch held out a bunch of wild flowers he had harvested.

“good. Follow me. “I will prepare a sample that suits you right away.”

Baizen who was watching the scene blankly from the side hurriedly held out the flower he was holding and said.

“Ho by any chance!! “Can I take a look at those seeds?”

“hmm? “What did I just say?”

“….”

Weizen was speechless at the shameless attitude of the old man sticking out his flippers in front of him.

The old man looked down at Weizen with a cold gaze snorted and turned his back to the other side of the plant.

“He was like a parasite… I’m sorry but I like talented guys. “You’ll have to work harder to please me.”

Wei Zhen stared blankly at the back of the old man walking away and then clenched his teeth.

Lennok ignored the sight and walked straight away.

On the way back to the accommodation after purchasing basilis mushroom samples at the plant.

The sunset has already set beyond the sea and the sky has long since darkened.

I boarded the wingboat stored at the settlement located on each floating island and took the wheel.

The island where Lennok stayed was over 200 meters below here.

A quiet means of transportation that does not make any noise until the moment you start the engine and rise into the sky.

As he used the wingboat over the past few days Lennok began to think more and more about the rising air currents surrounding the Philenom Dominion.

There are many questionable aspects of this rising airflow that make it impossible to simply say that it gives floating power to magical objects.

Although it is said to be possible only in limited environments this overwhelming efficiency allows a strong floating ability to be achieved without consuming almost any magical power.

Rather than a natural phenomenon that existed from the beginning isn’t it a convenient environment as if it was created for people living on a floating island?

Are the countless floating islands floating in the sea of ​​understanding really held in place by this unknown upward current?

If these gigantic islands are being raised afloat using only a small amount of magic mixed with the surface of the floating islands is there something special endowed with the Sea of ​​Understanding?

If not was it also the intention of the ascendant who built a lighthouse here and observed the open sea?

“….”

Lennok knew well that the Ascendants were transcendents who had thrown off the shackles of life but he could not determine how much power they actually had.

Monsters who despite possessing great power put restrictions on themselves and challenge fate in order to ascend to heaven.

If they use their full power will it be possible to completely and semi-permanently change the laws of physics in the area?

The fact that they could not say that such a ridiculous feat was impossible was indicative of the status of those who ascended.

Challengers who transcend humanity. Although they say they do not go out into the world the fact that no one rashly utters their names proves their great deeds.

If I follow the end of this invisible road will I be able to reach them someday?

Although he thought he had passed many moments Lennok still could not give himself a definite answer.

“Whoa….”

Let’s stop thinking about complicated things.

Once I got my hands on the item I wanted from the plant the work of selling it here and there was roughly completed.

From now on I will have to start exploring in earnest and making promises that I have been putting off.

Thinking so Lennok slowly turned the steering wheel of the wingboat downward.

The moment when you gently descend into the clouds and go down.

Right next to me two wingboats appeared through the thick fog.

Whoop-!

“Where are you going in such a hurry?”

Baizen was smiling and Hana was a young wizard with a vague expression.

Lennok shook his head as he looked at the two people who had silently blocked the road.

As if not paying attention to Lennok’s reaction Weizen smiled and leisurely turned the steering wheel.

“This is the great thing about wing boats. “No matter how much I move there is no sign of anything including sound.”

“….”

“All sounds are drowned out by the wind blowing from that beautiful sea. In other words it is possible to follow anyone as long as the driver’s horsepower and vital reactions are hidden.”

As Weizen said that he waved something he was holding in his hand.

Lennoc clicked his tongue when he realized that the artifact was in the shape of a very familiar amulet.

An artifact using the Druid’s natural magic.

Didn’t Lennok receive it from Mila and use it a few times in the past when he was suppressing pollutants?

It has the disadvantage that the number of uses is limited and the caster must remain stationary for more than a certain period of time.

If the difficult conditions were met it was an item that had the ability to blend into the surrounding scenery enough to confuse even Lennok’s senses for a moment.

‘But in the end it is a talisman that does not help in surprise attacks or attacking first. The reason he showed up on purpose is probably because his limitations are clear.’

Just holding on to the steering wheel and following him is enough to follow him but eventually the moment he moves to launch a surprise attack his stealth is broken.

In addition there is a time limit for the amulet’s effect to last so it must have been unable to catch up to Lennok’s lodgings and showed up here.

But Baizen was smiling triumphantly as if that was enough.

“I’ve been holding back because there were a lot of eyes watching me but now I can talk openly about my feelings.”

“How good of an artifact is the Nyx insignia?”

“….”

The smile slowly faded from Weizen’s face.

It was quite a sight to see the facial expressions at the moment when all the pretense and deception that had been built up so far were stripped away.

He lowered his head raised his glasses and slowly made eye contact with Lennok.

His face revealed again under the moonlight showed a completely different feeling of contempt than before.

“This lowly magic user… knows everything and plays with me right?”

“I actually don’t understand that part more.”

Lennok smiled and said to Weizen.

“Did you really believe that I who possesses an artifact good enough for you to covet would just carry around the treasure without knowing anything? “I can’t believe I’ve never once questioned that ridiculous fact.”

It’s incredibly greedy and compared to that greed it’s ridiculously foolish.

There is nothing good about being prejudiced against the wizards of the Magic Tower but it seemed very obvious what kind of environment they had grown up in.

Weizen’s face contorted at Lennok’s ridicule but he couldn’t find a good excuse and screamed.

“shut up!!”

Grumbling!!

At the same time as he raised his magic power a long flame rose from behind him and dazzled the night sky.

Considering that he can bring out that much fire with a martial arts chant even when he has lost his mind Baizen’s talent must also be quite outstanding.

Probably he has almost no rivals among wizards of that age.

Otherwise I couldn’t understand why someone with that much talent could be so immature.

Weizen muttered while glaring at Lennok with glossy eyes.

“As long as I have that badge… I can live freely without being disturbed by anyone. “I can use it much better.”

“….”

“I also endured for a long time. That’s all for words. The items in Duris’ Workshop are crude magic and unsuitable for cooked insects. “Give it to me.”

Instead of responding Lennok took out a cigarette from his arms and lit it.

I no longer get angry at such trivial nonsense.

Rather I was just a little surprised that I experienced something so familiar even after leaving the Balkans.

“good.”

Lennok grinned puffing out a stream of smoke.

“If you want to take it take it.”

At the same time he tore off the badge and threw it into the air and Weizen’s mouth dropped open.

“You crazy bastard!! “What are you doing!!”

He steers the wingboat with all his might and leans out to catch the badge that Lennok dropped.

The moment when the badge was held in his outstretched hands and joy filled Weigen’s face.

Like a lie the badge appeared again in Lennok’s hand.

A transference ability that uses the archangel’s compassion. It is also an item whose original metastatic ability has been further strengthened as it has been restored to its original form.

Lennok laughed looking down at Weizen who was looking at him with a blank expression.

“Did you believe that? “You’re naive.”

“You fucking bastard!!!”

[Jang Hwa-ryeom]

The long flame that Baizen threw up while screaming out loud turned into a spear and started to follow Lennok.

Hwaaaaaaa!

It evaporates the fog rising from the bottom of the sea instantly heating up the surrounding air.

Instead of dealing with the obvious attack Lennok began to concentrate on moving the wingboat around while holding the steering wheel.

‘Wingboats have little practical use in regions other than the Dominion. However the opportunity to engage in mobile warfare with an airship of this size is by no means common.’

There is no other blimp anywhere that can move with so little horsepower.

This meant that outside of the Dominion there were not many opportunities to handle a private airship of this size.

Although it is said that it relies on the power of a unique rising air current the principle of operation of the airship does not violate the laws of physics.

That meant that there was no way to obtain data on the airship’s high-speed maneuvers unless it was now.

‘What if I could teach Dabi the driving data of a small airship and complete the automatic flight magic… It makes my heart race just thinking about it.’

It’s a long shot right now but if Lennok succeeds in creating a personal airship that can one day be used in the Balkans.

At this moment the flight data obtained against Weizen will be of great help.

Lennok had no interest in dealing with the wizard in front of him and was investing in the distant future.

For a future so distant that even those watching right next to us cannot guess.

“Dabi how much time can I give you?”

[A sufficient sample of data on routine flights was collected over three days. It is predicted that the data on high-speed flight and combat flight can be used to build an algorithm in about 2 minutes in this state.]

“good. Until then let’s do our best.”

Lennok turned the steering wheel completely in the opposite direction.

“I think I can roughly follow along if I just watch a little more.”

Tobacco in your mouth. The burning flame at the end shimmered with a strange light.
