Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 182



Plant(1)

3 Floating Island.

Well-known as the largest floating island except for Floating Island 1 where the autonomous government office is located this is the most commercially developed area among the floating islands of the Philenom Autonomous Territory.

Various artifacts and magic tools. And this place where unique items are bought sold and produced is the place where many magicians visit from outside.

At the same time it was also the area where the most medicinal plants were located.

It is not a good environment for residents to hide because it is full of farms and developed commercial areas with no place to hide.

That’s why all the residents on the three floating islands have long since fled to other islands.

Lennok was the only one to set foot again in the deserted streets of the market.

Shuuuuu-

Burbububbang!!

The sound of explosions from a fierce battle on another floating island can be heard up to here.

It does not end with simply catching and killing heterogeneous species.

Unless the source of drugs mixed in water pipes is identified and the water source is purified abnormal species will continue to occur.

Lennok walked through the empty streets without a single person in sight.

The items on the shelves were scattered in disarray as if they had been in a hurry to evacuate while doing business just moments before.

Considering the heterogeneous species that appeared while Lennok was searching the drug lord’s warehouse the lighthouse’s decision to evacuate the people was absolutely correct but even so the human and material damage would have been significant.

But now was not the time to settle such losses.

Dabi poked his head out of his arms.

[Are you okay?]

“What are you talking about?”

[If the plan goes according to plan you will definitely be noticed by Pandemonium.]

It seems that he was listening to the whole plan explained to Grisha out of sympathy for the archangel.

I thought Dabi had no interest in what was happening around him but this behavior from Dabi was unexpected.

Lennok laughed and tried to tell her exactly what he was thinking but then stopped.

Dabi is not a simple spirit but a brain spirit born through necromancy and algorithmic data.

Perhaps this question and answer was also a necessary process for her to grow into something more than a spirit.

“So I was waiting for the time to use this face.”

Instead Lennok smiled and patted his cheek.

“That was also the reason why everyone else around him was bitten. “In order to completely pass on the risk of failure you have to avoid raising suspicion.”

Dabi looked up at Lennok’s face and let out an exclamation as if he had finally realized it.

[…Oh I see. sorry. The Master’s face changes so often that I just don’t remember it.]

“…Of all the ones I’ve heard this is by far the most shocking confession.”

[If you remember the Master’s soul it probably won’t matter right?]

“Soul?”

Lennok laughed.

He can only say this because Dabi is directly connected to him.

Normally a soul is a type of thing whose existence cannot be confidently assumed even in this world where magic is extremely advanced.

The mind is influenced by the body and memories are ultimately a part of the body.

So does there truly exist a soul in humans?

Although there is a technique called necromancy that deals with spirits when it is used on humans it is nothing more than summoning the salt of life.

But before this world even began.

In the first world Lennok remembers someone had already answered that question.

The body and mind function as separate beings and through the very materialization of mind and consciousness –

A secret wish to pursue immortality.

From the moment I became aware of the keyword alchemy old memories began to come to mind little by little.

Moments when time was spent in front of the monitor without any worries.

Was it because I had not forgotten the longing for those days that I was able to recall memories related to it even though it was so late?

Lennok decided not to think about it for long.

The only thing that mattered was that the memories of those times that filled his mind would determine the outcome of this case.

Lennok’s steps stopped as he passed through the quiet streets and the worries that were pounding in his heart.

“You’re all there.”

It’s been three days since I visited again.

Evening sunset as the sun begins to set.

The twilight which turns the entire sky bright red swims dangerously across the water as if it might disappear at any moment.

The boundary between day and night. At this moment only the shadow of the enemy approaching from a distance glimmers.

Isn’t this the perfect time to hide each other’s identities?

That’s what Lennok thought as he looked at the vast plant without a single person.

Until three days ago Plant’s farm where dozens of drinkers were busy wandering around was filled with only traces of dead dead nocturnal trees.

Lennok who was walking among the withered saplings suddenly discovered traces of his own handling and slowly bent down.

Although it still has more vitality than other saplings it still falters as if it doesn’t have much time left to live.

Is it a characteristic of the night tree that it has been able to absorb so much vitality in just three days? Or…

“It’s a face I remember.”

A grumpy voice came from behind me.

A hunched old man stood looking at Lennok with a clumsy expression on his face.

“I thought you said you didn’t have anything worth giving to him but you couldn’t stand that bird and came back?”

“…”

“Well okay. “It won’t mean anything now.”

Lennok slowly straightened his back and stood up.

The old man snorted when he saw him then turned his back and started walking.

A completely different attitude from when I saw Lennok before when he was full of goodwill.

But it’s not strange.

Because now Lennok’s face was completely covered with Weizen’s smooth face.

The reason I held onto Baizen and observed his magic all night was not simply to steal his unique magic.

After checking the movement of the man’s magic pattern Lennok succeeded in completely disguising himself as Weizen.

It was his first time disguising himself as an existing person but judging by the old man’s reaction it seemed like it worked perfectly.

And this identity will be of great help to Lennok in sorting out what will happen from now on.

He continued speaking as he followed behind the old man.

“Everyone else has left the floating island. What are you doing here?”

“Hmph… What’s happening in the Dominion right now is none of my business.”

The old man snorted and answered.

“The guys who are busy running around in the sky right now will figure it out somehow. “I will protect my farm.”

If you just listen to him he seems like a bad-tempered old man who only focuses on his own work.

But Lennok laughed and shook his head.

“That’s not it.”

“…what?”

“Isn’t the reason why you can’t leave here now is because this is where all this started?”

“….”

“I heard all the facts from Qing’s eyes and realized the truth. “Come to your senses now.”

Lennok said and added his final guess.

“capital punishment.”

The old man was silent.

My stumbling steps my hunched back and before I knew it were all over the place.

The old man who quickly returned to Lennok’s height turned his back and muttered.

“Don’t call me that.”

Patter!!

The old man’s face melted revealing a familiar face inside.

The wall of a government building.

A red-haired young man I met at night. He was standing in front of Lennok as he asked about Weizen’s whereabouts.

“Because I have no intention of calling you a death penalty.”

“That’s not important right now is it?”

Lennok shrugged his shoulders in response.

“The important thing is to find out what is happening underground in this plant.”

The moment I saw that the plant manager’s name in the warehouse ledger was different from the officially known name of the old man I was already thinking about it to some extent.

The man who broke into the government building in search of Weizen then meekly retreated after hearing that he had confirmed Weizen’s appearance at the plant.

Nevertheless the reason the young man was convinced by Lennok’s words and went back on the spot was probably because he was not really interested in who the culprit was.

The young man was simply creating people here and there who would prove that he was looking for a priest.

“….”

“If you don’t want to answer let me guess.”

He continued speaking taking in the expressionless gaze of the young man.

“Weren’t you making drugs? A drug so powerful and lethal that it can alter the entire living human body. Otherwise we cannot explain the existence of the heteromorphic species that is currently causing chaos in the Dominion.”

Lennok’s time in the Dominion was not very long but many things that happened during that time were not accidental.

The moment I first started to suspect was from the moment Lapis confirmed this plant through a relationship.

At the time I thought it was simply because I brought basilis mushrooms but when I thought about it there were more than one or two things that bothered me.

“You made too many mistakes with your words. “The time has come to pay the price.”

I still remember what the old man said at the plant when he saw Lennok’s talent.

Didn’t you say that you like talented people and would like to entrust them with some tasks?

Additionally a great sponsor is supporting the plant.

This could easily have been overlooked but if you think about the story and connect it with the circumstances of the drug lord everything makes sense.

Talented magicians were needed because ‘materials’ for alchemy were needed.

The reason he was sponsoring this plant was to provide a place to spread soft consciousness.

“When we robbed that guy’s warehouse there was one thing strange. The warehouse which was supposed to be full of items needed to manufacture drugs… was filled with only very normal and ordinary medicinal ingredients. Why did they only select such good medicinal herbs and store them separately? “I thought about it and came up with an answer.”

It’s simple.

The drug lord had a formula that allowed him to create drugs by combining simple and ordinary herbs.

And that combination method would have been a method of combining new medicines using the alchemy of the first world and using rules that were completely different from those of this world.

Based on this assumption it is understandable that the drugs he used were different from common drugs.

The power of alchemy twisted this way and that by skipping two worlds has already gone beyond human nature.

And a place where it is easy to store and handle those medicinal herbs in the most natural way and doesn’t look out of place in the eyes of other magicians.

The drug lord had the audacity to operate one of the largest plants in the Dominion as his drug factory.

Lennok sneered at Weizen’s face. The arrogant sneer that matched his face appeared without hesitation.

“The person who was hiding under the Dominion plant and operating a drug factory was actually a military wizard from the Blaver Tower… This is something that a passing dog would laugh at. I never thought you’d become the drug lord’s dog without even seeing me. “I have always respected the death penalty.”

“You respected me?”

The young man reacted to those words for the first time.

“There are degrees of lying. “You have suffered from an inferiority complex under me all your life. What do you think will change if you now laugh at me?”

“….”

“But this was definitely my mistake. I never thought a half-wizard like you would get caught. “I should have found you and silenced you then.”

As soon as he turned around and took a step forward towards Lennok a fire broke out.

A magical power so heavy that even Lennok could not ignore it suddenly shook the surroundings and resounded.

Grumbling!!

The flames that enveloped his legs spread out in all directions in an instant creating a huge wave of flames.

In an instant the withered saplings of wild trees burn and turn into ashes.

The young man who turned the ground into a sea of ​​fire in an instant glared at Lennok and said.

“There’s no way you can understand because you’re so intoxicated by your own shallow talents. The despair of the moment when the decisive inspiration to rise to higher ground runs out. Do you know the moment of awakening that never comes no matter how hard you try?”

“….”

“I have been searching for a resonance that will answer me for a very long time. In the end I realized that it didn’t exist in the magic tower and came out. And then I realized.”

As the young man said that he took out a bag of powdered medicine from his arms.

“Great inspiration does not always come in noble or clean ways…”

He skillfully opens the medicine bag and sticks his nose into it without hesitation.

The young man’s dull expression slowly distorted and he tilted his head back.

“ha….”

What appeared on his face was a strange ecstasy that was nothing short of disgusting.

Only then did Lennoc realize why the young man had done such a thing and stuck out his tongue.

“This is an idea that would be difficult for anyone in their right mind to attempt. Are you saying that you started using drugs for self-fulfillment?”

“…isn’t that surprising…?”

The young man answered in a distinctly slower tone.

“You too… were looking for flame grass to strengthen that meager magic…”

“….”

“If you think about it… things went awry from there. Ever since you insisted on coming to my business trip… things started to go strange. He suddenly told us to stop making drugs and start doing something new. Ugh… Thanks to you I’m like this… It’s all thanks to you. “It’s my vice.”

As his tongue twitched the magic power flowing out of his body also began to twist rapidly.

As the drug’s energy stirs in your head your consciousness and images are completely distorted and changed.

As the wizard’s will deteriorated his external flame also changed color drastically.

The young man’s fire which was a deep scarlet color changed into a strange fluorescent light that ravaged the eyesight and began to emit a terrible odor.

Lennok shook his head after seeing how much his mind was being twisted and squeezed even the neatly refined magical power pattern was deteriorating.

Perhaps he was turning his entire brain inside out changing his magic pattern and lying about his own identity.

The young man who continued to stumble regained his balance as if it were a lie.

The young man’s eyes returned to focus and a completely different expression of blatant murder than before was overflowing.

“So I will personally put an end to that miserable life.”
