Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 175



Vault Exploration (1)

[I want to ask why.]

The flesh trembled and a soft voice rang out.

[It has already been more than three months since you were last seen on the Western Resistance Front. Cheongyeon It’s been over half a year since the old man died. But now why are you turning to Philenom?]

“Did you think we would answer that?”

Grisha responded in a sharp voice.

[Oh this voice… belongs to a shaman I hate very much. It definitely smells like a jungle that has burned down now.]

It is no mistake that Dominic’s voice contains a hint of laughter.

He was openly laughing at her but Grisha’s expression was extremely cold.

Instead she looked at Lennok and pointed with her eyes in silence.

The drug lord realized that he could not identify Lennok and Grisha’s faces at this point.

[Actually I didn’t think this spell would be activated. Although I had taken out business insurance I hadn’t heard much from the Dominion. So I thought you lighthouse bastards had all abandoned this beautiful land…]

The lump of flesh trembled and let out a low laugh.

[It was a mistake. You were looking for an opportunity.]

“….”

[This is a very pleasant miscalculation. If the lighthouse keeper moves at this point it must mean that the damn woman’s nest still remains in the Dominion.]

The power to weigh down those around you just with a light touch of life in your voice.

This momentum felt even without using any magic or power is undoubtedly due to Dominic Cavarro’s overwhelming presence.

[And that means the time has come to recoup the investment I have made in this land.]

[So… wait in this prison you created. I will go there myself and pluck out the lighthouse keeper’s eyes.]

As soon as he finished speaking the hole in his flesh shrank and a sound that was not human came out.

Jjiiiing-!!!

Ear-piercing noise.

However Lennok realized that it was not a simple scream but a type of resonance mixed with a special wavelength.

“Dabi!”

[Magic wave with a certain pattern. Detection of authority to delve into the magic system. Jamming begins.]

It’s a joke!!

Immediately Dabi tried to cancel out the sound by making a similar resonant sound as electricity flashed throughout his body but it was already too late.

As if the power that had been turned off was activated by that sound a dark red siren rang out everywhere and began making a loud guidance sound.

[A change in Dominion security authority approval has been detected. Launch of special exhibition system. Five minutes later a wartime barrier will be deployed throughout the floating island colony.]

Lennok and Grisha’s expressions hardened at the completely unexpected guidance voice.

“Keeeeeeee!!!”

Immediately after that a lump of flesh stands up from its seat and runs towards the two magicians.

The move which clearly had murderous intent was probably part of a technique instructed in advance by the Juice Master.

Lennok sighed and raised his magic power.

While staying up all night with Baizen the knowledge of flame-type unique magic that I absorbed like a sponge unfolded in my mind.

Grumbling!!

[Salt sphere]

[Eight-fold painting]

Blaver Magic Tower’s fire-type unique magic basically recommends starting by deploying this palm-sized fireball.

This characteristic is the explosive growth potential of flame-type magic.

There is significance in hoping that the destructive power that spreads like wildfire can be realized step by step.

In addition the creator’s feelings were reflected in his admonition to never forget your original intention through learning magic for the first time.

Although he could not feel it at all from the wizard named Baizen Lennok was able to foresee the fire-type unique magic through him and get a glimpse into the thoughts of the person who first created this magic.

Unlike the wizards of the Magic Tower who are prone to arrogance and laziness this magic system contains a devout and blind faith similar to that of a seeker.

The struggle of an ancient person who did not stop even for a moment to avoid being eaten by the flames he created himself.

The eight-pronged fireball gently split and rotated gently embracing the fiercely charging flesh.

The cracked flames turned into huge petals forming the shape of a red lotus and the flesh exposed to the enormous heat at the center began to burn to ash.

[Red Lotus]

Hwaaa!!

“Keeeeek…!!”

The flesh slowly turns to ash and disappears as it struggles without feeling any real pain.

Only the hazy smoke remains proving that dozens of lives once existed in this place.

Although he didn’t feel any sympathy for the soldiers who tried to kill them Lennok seemed to know why fire magic was created this way.

If you leave nothing behind every time you use magic you will eventually feel nothing but emptiness.

In the empty underground cavity only fallen iron shelves remained.

Grisha pressed his temples looking clearly tired.

“Damn… I never thought it would get this big. “We have to get back to the lighthouse right away.”

Despite her urgent words Lennok paid no attention and walked towards the spot where the burned flesh was.

“Evan. “What are you doing now?!”

“for a moment. This is…”

Grisha is right.

If the head of the relics department of the government building which was directly connected to the lighthouse was attacked it is impossible to imagine how far the drug lord’s reach would have extended.

It was right to leave the government building right now and plan for later but Lennok did not stop.

The sense of déjà vu I felt from the flesh-forming technique was so intense that it cannot be explained in words.

It is strange that Lennok who rarely forgets anything related to magic or magic has such faint remnants of memory.

What if Lennoch has not simply forgotten but is hiding something more important from the drug lord?

If I didn’t check this sense of déjà vu now that the fire in my flesh hadn’t gone out yet I might miss the clue again.

I placed my hands on the floor and tried to clearly remember the remnants of the spell that still remained.

At first glance it looks like the drug lord planned all of this using strange drugs but there was clearly some kind of magical power involved.

Maybe this could be the solution to the problem I was facing now.

“…good.”

Lennok who memorized the traces of the spell immediately stood up while lifting the statue he was holding in his hand.

“Let’s leave the government building first and observe the situation. “We need to figure out what exactly is going on.”

* * *

Lennok and Grisha immediately returned to the lighthouse.

Lapis greeted the two people in a well-decorated conference room instead of the spacious common area located on the upper floor of the tower.

“I was waiting.”

In addition more than ten people had already taken their seats in the conference room.

Apparently in this general situation the celestial cavity was not used.

As soon as Lennok stepped into the conference room all eyes were on him.

It’s not that I don’t understand.

Since they made such a fuss as soon as they arrived at the lighthouse it would be even more strange for them not to pay attention.

Lennok also looked around at those who were looking at him calmly.

There are only ten people sitting in a spacious conference room that could easily seat fifty people but all of them are magic users at a considerable level.

It was said that they were recruiting talented people one after another to deal with Pokmajeon and just by looking at the people gathered here it seemed like that wasn’t entirely a lie.

Of course there was no one as overwhelmingly strong as Grisha among them but at least the organization could be given a good score in that it was running on its own.

As soon as Lennok chose a chair at a far corner of the conference room and sat down the agenda was immediately opened.

“The situation has become serious.”

Lapis said with a dark expression.

“It is impossible to believe that the Dominion government’s security system is so lax that it can trigger a war situation from afar…”

As the two magicians returned to the lighthouse the before and after situation seen by Cheong’s eyes was as follows.

While the Blue Eye struggled on the western resistance front the drug lord concluded that the lighthouse was empty and began reaching out to the Dominion.

Even if he was one of the biggest names on the continent it would have been difficult to completely control the Dominion from thousands of kilometers away so he seemed to have selected a few departments and jurisdictions and reached out but it was at this point that the identity of Enrico who was an official of the lighthouse was revealed. .

The drug lord’s official who had infiltrated the antiquities department killed Enrico disguised his face and tried to capture the lighthouse officials alive.

The drug lord who realized that the plan was flawed appeared in person and forced the Dominion to declare a war regime.

“Why did it have to be the relics department?”

Grisha muttered with his arms crossed.

“It is true that a significant amount of artifacts are traded in the Dominion but there are not many artifacts of value that he would pay attention to.”

“What still exists is that most of the ancient artifacts are limited to the topography of this floating island colony… It wouldn’t be that important to someone who conducts business across the entire continent.”

“The problem is the large-scale wartime barrier surrounding the entire Dominion.”

The observer standing next to Lapis said with a serious face.

“It wouldn’t have mattered if a wartime regime had been declared simply due to the situation but the wartime barrier was opened because the drug lord was tampering with the security authority.”

“I heard that it was a barrier large enough to protect the entire Philenom Dominion. “What is its exact size and power?”

When Lennok asked she answered right away. Evidence that the necessary information has already been completely gathered.

The information gathering ability seemed to live up to the name of the organization.

“All functions are geared towards completely isolating the inside and the outside. “Once deployed it lasts for three days and has a limit on the number of deployments making it an item that should only be used in situations where Philenome’s survival is at stake.”

Lapis received those words.

“Originally it would not have been possible to develop this level of interference but due to recent tensions with large cities measures have been taken to ensure that it can be deployed at any time.”

“How can I be so unlucky…”

Grisha shook his head with a bewildered expression.

If the drug lord had not touched the Antiquities Department if Enrico’s identity had not been discovered if the Dominion had not been in a state of tension.

It was a ridiculous amount of bad luck but Lennok knew that all of this was not just a coincidence.

Otherwise it would be impossible to explain why Dominic Cavarro declared a state of war as soon as he became convinced of the existence of the lighthouse.

He had known from the beginning that the Dominion’s barrier operation process was somewhat loosely coordinated.

It is said that it was created by a combination of minor misfortunes but in the end what created this situation was the result of a combination of the Dominion government’s incompetence and the drug lord’s careful investment.

There was no reason to hold on to something that could not be helped for long.

“The biggest problem is that the barriers spread throughout the Dominion work in a way that isolates the inside from the outside.”

As the observer said that a hologram made of magical power appeared at the back of the conference room.

A three-dimensional map of the entire floating island colony unfolded and a vast spherical barrier appeared covering it like a pad.

“Due to the nature of the autonomous territory there is little land available and floating islands exist at various altitudes so it was a possible barrier…”

“It’s like a prison imprisoning us now.”

Grisha muttered while chewing on a gummy stick.

The drug lord used the barrier created to protect the Dominion as a cage to prevent the Blue Eye from escaping.

The fact that all of this was not prepared in advance but was carried out on the spot after noticing the existence of the lighthouse made its power unfathomable.

“The barrier lasts for three days… Considering what he said do you think you have the confidence to run all the way here from the other side of the continent in just three days?”

“This is nonsense. He’s thousands of kilometers away in the Republic of Paragine. How can he find the location of the lighthouse?”

On Earth it takes less than a day to travel by plane.

However in this world where all kinds of strange natural phenomena are rampant flying is by no means a safe form of transportation.

Even in the Balkans wasn’t communication restricted due to magnetic storms blowing in the outskirts of the undeveloped regions?

“If the Juice Master was just a drug dealer then yes.”

“….”

“He is a business magnate and member of the Pandemonium who is single-handedly responsible for 40% of the drug distribution going on and off this continent. At the same time we have strong technical resources that continue to supply new drugs to the market.”

“that….”

“If you have that level of technology it wouldn’t be surprising if you were hiding various secrets to manage your trading network.”

It was hard to believe but the problem is that it is not completely impossible.

In this world overflowing with all kinds of magic and supernatural abilities it cannot be said that there is no powerful transference magic that can travel from one continent to another.

And we can never be sure that a drug lord could not obtain such a rare means of transportation.

Lennok also did not think that the vocal cords created by a drug lord using human corpses were ordinary techniques.

It’s probably the work of a drug lord created by combining the effects of magic and drugs.

If you use the abstinence method of exchanging living humans in that way it wouldn’t be surprising if you flew that long distance and ended up in the Dominion which is isolated from the outside world.

Other observers quickly began exchanging opinions about whether this was possible given the conditions of time and space.

As the magic users gathered here were also at a considerable level each had a firm opinion leading to more in-depth discussions.

Lennok listened to the opinions for a while but when no meaningful progress was made he quickly ended the conversation and knocked on the table.

“Let’s stop there. “There is no reason to take this issue for a long time.”

The other observers all turned their gaze towards him.

The gaze he was looking at at Lennoc was filled with deep curiosity as if he had heard about what happened in the Celestial Cavern in advance.

Lennoc calmly accepted those stares and opened his mouth.

“In the end it is impossible to determine the truth of what the drug lord said. “Because we don’t know what means he’s trying to use.”

“But they also didn’t hear why we tried to contact Enrico. In other words he doesn’t know we’re looking for his safe.”

The important thing is not whether the drug lord lied on the spot.

Depending on how much information is hidden the options for action are completely different so it was necessary to clearly understand the upper limit of the information held.

Only then did the observers realize the meaning of what Lennok said and their eyes widened.

“I see. “That was the key.”

“Are you saying that we just have to choose the direction in which we will move first? “That is correct.”

“I was focusing my attention on the barrier so I put it aside. In fact all that is revealed to the other side is our existence. “We definitely have the right to go first.”

Once you throw in a keyword the meeting starts to change in an instant.

The shock of having the Dominion’s security system shattered all at once confused them for a moment but they were also skilled people who had been working in the field for a long time.

Lennok gathered conversations from all directions into one place and delivered a conclusion.

“okay. No matter how much he spreads his hands here and there in the Dominion in order to control all that there will be a ledger for managing subordinates in the field.”

And if such a ledger exists isn’t there only one place where the ledger can exist?

“Find his safe and take out all its contents. “This is the first thing you have to do.”
