the inside story
Grisha smiled bitterly as he saw the strange desire sparkle in her eyes.
It’s natural.
Grisha personally traveled with Lennok throughout the Dominion and worked with him and was keenly aware of his capabilities.
It must have been Lapis’ first time seeing how Lennok worked.
It is impossible to count the number of talents encountered while wandering the western resistance front for quite some time.
There are many people who are smart and strong enough to survive on their own.
However no one had ever shown Lapis’s ability to shape the board as he wanted and freely swing it so perfectly in front of Lapis’ eyes.
If only I could continue to fight with this person if only I could entrust him with his strategies and judgment in future battles.
How reassuring will it be?
He is a person who can single-handedly set the tone for the trends.
No matter how the future war unfolded there were not enough people with this ability.
“I think he needs a gift to reward him for what he’s done.”
Lapis also doesn’t think she will be able to hold on to him for long due to her only relationship with her poor grandmother.
In the end in order to elicit Lennok’s voluntary cooperation not only the power of the Blue Eyes organization but also the question of what it can give him will be important.
The idea that any bleeding was acceptable in the process took root in Lapis’ mind which was a completely different problem from before.

“…End of data collection. Confirmation that Dominic Cavarro has lost consciousness. “The project is being halted.”
“Whoa….”
A soft sigh turned into frost and scattered in the freezing cold.
A chuckle rang out right next to me.
“I never thought there would be such a fatal weakness in the alchemy of the first world. “You got a really good shot.”
“yes. Even though there were clear signs of consciousness returning at the end the attempt was completely thwarted due to some kind of interference. “It is difficult to guess the specific circumstances because we did not see the battlefield in person but it is believed that there is a loophole in the process of transferring consciousness.”
“Stop research on alchemy and redistribute all personnel and assets related to the project. “Get ready.”
A cold voice rang out but there was no answer.

Other attendants had already conveyed the voice’s intentions to the other side of the continent.
Next to him someone spoke with a terrifying murderous voice accompanied by a growling sound like an animal.
“Hey clown. You’re just going to waste my precious time and end it like this? “Do you think I flew all this distance just to see your playhouse get ruined?”
“Oh my I’m so scared… If you want to live long why don’t you kill your temper a little?”
A giggling voice responded leisurely.
“Isn’t the important thing to be proof that we are not the only ones holding on to this secret?”
“…What bullshit are you talking about?”
It wasn’t surprising that this animal’s head couldn’t understand what was being said for not even a day or two.
However it is not that difficult to give a plausible reason to this monster that has no sense of belonging.
“The wizard dispatched from the Blaver Magic Tower succeeded in killing the homunculus on the spot. “It’s impossible if you don’t know the secrets of alchemy from the beginning.”
“So you lost because you were just incompetent right?”
“No to put it another way… they know what we know.”
Pierrot laughed.
“Wouldn’t that mean they have what we want?”
“What you’re saying is let’s knock on the magic tower and check for a reaction.”
Pierrot agreed with the cold voice.
“Aren’t you curious? “I wonder how confident those stupid old men of the Magic Tower are that they are openly doing something like this… If it were as I thought their arrogance would be sky-high by now so let’s check it out now.”
With the sound of a sharp knife someone stood up.
“That’s how hot the flames of the Blazer Magic Tower are.”
“Now you’re starting to say something you like.”
The beast cried contentedly.
“so. Are you going to start right away? “I’m ready anytime.”
“No let’s give ourselves two days. First I’ll have to ask other organization members if they want to participate in this project. “Shouldn’t you talk to your senior in particular?”
“Damn it… that old man doesn’t even care about us in the first place. “I don’t want to look at that reptile’s head for too long.”
Although the words spoken by a beast’s head were not credible everyone agreed on the words themselves.
Even in the Battle of Pandemonium monsters that went above and beyond tended to be particularly uninterested in the affairs of the organization.
Rather meeting on a regular basis like the four of them was rare within Pandemonium.
Although the boss was clearly aware of this situation he seemed to have no intention of interfering with his subordinates any further than this… but the cold voice had different thoughts.
You must do whatever you can.
If it is a necessary process I will endure it without hesitation.
The reason he dragged the drug lord who was unable to hide his cruelty beyond necessity after obtaining alchemy into a battle of vendettas was because he thought his innate business sense and enormous wealth would help the cause.
However because he was greedy for military power that was not his own he collapsed miserably in the field in which he was least confident.
It is good to make contributions within an organization and access the secrets of the world but if you stumble even once in the process there is no turning back.
The cold voice knew it all too well.
Because it was very similar to the austerity he had once undertaken to become an ascendant.
“We will at least leave a message to those we reach out to and if there is no response we will start on our own.”
He slowly got up and finished.

“The goal is to take down the Magic Tower within half a year and confirm the secrets they have hidden.”

Even on the other side of the continent it is not difficult to hear news that the Republic of Paraginia is in chaos.
And that may be because the hand of the drug lord who was controlling the republic has completely disappeared.
It has already been three days since two islands collided and completely changed the topography of the floating island colony.
Lennok who remained until the last moment when the island collided succeeded in escaping across space using Enakpil’s five fingers.
If I hadn’t planned on ending it this way in the first place I wouldn’t have even started planning.
In the end the reason I chose an all-out war with the drug lord in this case was because I judged that avoiding battle for the remaining duration of the barrier would not be helpful.
Lennok had to stay at the lighthouse for two more days to gauge the success or failure of his plan but it was not a big loss.
As the time spent in the Dominion was considerable there was also a lot of gain.
He put down the newspaper he was holding and stood up.
As I left the room the watchers who were busy walking up and down the hallway all greeted Lennok.
“Evan are you awake!”
“I’ve prepared breakfast for you so let’s go up to the dining room.”
“I will serve you first.”
“No you might want to wash your face first. “Why don’t you be a little hasty?”
Lennok sighed as he saw the observers approaching quickly pushing and fighting with each other.
Just as I was about to turn away from the approaching observers a young man holding a spear blocked the others and raised his double wick.
“Evan still needs some rest so everyone please leave. “I will assist the wizard.”
“Tch it’s clear….”
“It’s done. “If that person sticks to us he’ll harass us all day.”
“….”
Now that I see it does he seem to be quite a notorious personality even among watchers?
The young man quickly dismissed the other observers then turned to Lennok and bowed his head politely.
“You have waited a long time. “I will guide you to the restaurant.”
“Do we really have to do this?”
A young man with the name Myeongseong.
He must have been so impressed by what happened that day that he continued to follow Lennok and protect him from then on.
Even at Lennok’s blunt response Seon Myeong didn’t even blink an eye.
“Until the day the wizard leaves the Dominion I will personally be by his side and help escort him. “There was a direct comment from Lapis so don’t worry too much.”
He answered like that and immediately walked towards the ground.
Lennok let out a small sigh and followed him.
As they come up to the ground of the lighthouse bright sunlight welcomes them.
In the restaurant set up in the corner of the spacious hall other observers were already preparing meals.
Lennok chose a random table and sat down.
Immediately Myeong-seong stood tall behind him like a jangseung and glared at the surroundings with wide eyes.
“….”
What kind of escort are they offering to do in this lighthouse full of only watchers?
He was a very annoying guy.
It was too bothersome to say anything so Lennok just turned his head towards the outside of the lighthouse.
Warm sunlight was pouring in from the huge glass window on the front of the huge tower.
It was a peaceful scene that felt like a lie considering what we had experienced so far in the Dominion.
After the fight with drug lord Dominic Cabarro things went surprisingly smoothly.
The corpse of a giant trapped in the wreckage of the island and the presence of heterogeneous species that have been sweeping the Dominion are stronger evidence than anything else that a drug lord has his hands on this place.
Considering what the Eye of Qing had done in resolving the matter it was nearly impossible for the Dominion government to ignore the words of its observers.
As a result while the Dominion government was working hard to understand the situation Cheong’s eyes directly traveled to the floating island colony and directly rescued the Dominion residents.
Through negotiations with the government Lapis was able to get a promise not only to keep everything that happened during the handling of this matter secret but also to provide full support for the aftermath.
Considering that the Dominion government holds a huge amount of cash through extensive market transactions the amount returned in the Qing’s eyes must be significant.
In addition restoration work is underway on the two broken floating islands with the help of military personnel and external magicians and the body of the homunculus is scheduled to undergo extensive research into its ridiculous human structure.
Not only has the position of the Blue Eye within the Philenom Autonomous Territory increased significantly but observers have also been granted permission to freely enter the research site so the harvest can be said to be significant.
Government officials also knew how amazing what they had accomplished was as they clearly saw the giant that had risen up and swallowed up the three floating islands.
Although the financial loss was considerable as the entire floating island was sacrificed in the process everyone thought it was fortunate that they were able to prevent the attack of a drug lord-sized tycoon with only this much damage.
“The most important thing is that this is the first time that our army’s losses have been minimized to this extent in a battle with Bokmajeon.”
“….”
Myeongseong who had already started eating across from Lennok spoke calmly.
“During the battles of revenge and retreat victory was always followed by countless deaths and losses. “I have never faced such a powerful enemy as a drug lord or even after allowing him to attack the unknown technique he used I have never been able to deal with it this easily.”
“I was lucky.”
Lennok answered indifferently.
“You’re also good at telling jokes. No one would think that moment was a coincidence. The same goes for all the people on the other side of the continent who are hearing about the chaos in the Paragini Republic.”
Myeongseong laughed it off probably thinking that those words were condescending but Lennok’s honest feelings were really that way.
The reason he was able to strike a direct blow to the drug lord in this case was possible because he believed in the secret plan of the homunculus and directly transferred his consciousness thousands of kilometers away.
If Lennok had been completely ignorant of alchemy during the process the outcome of the fight would have been completely different.
Lennok was able to finish this matter so neatly because he had memorized and mastered even extremely non-mainstream techniques such as necromantic magic.
Of course the island debris floating around below the lighthouse didn’t look that neat…
That’s why Lennok thought that the way the drug lord acquired alchemy must have been with the help of Pokéma.
However considering that the drug lord himself was unaware that the materialization of consciousness was extremely vulnerable to external interference it may be that Bokmajeon simply thought of him as an alchemy experiment.
If so there must be a faction within the Pandemonium that is trying to find techniques and relics that disappeared from WORLD 1.0 and 2.0 and experiment with them themselves.
If only we could turn that faction’s gaze away from Lennok or Blue’s eyes and towards Blaver Tower.
That alone would be worth it.
