Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 188



Gift(1)

Of course the most important harvest for Lennok was the dozens of Malabeth roots that were carefully kept in his arms.

After hearing from Yakseon that he needed Malabeth there were many twists and turns to obtain this item but in the end he successfully wiped out the drug lord’s assets which is great.

If you were to convert the enormous amount of rare medicines in his warehouse into money their value would also be considerable.

After receiving confirmation from Lapis that all of this has been settled Lennok’s work in the Dominion is complete.

Although I was curious about Akasha’s whereabouts a magician of her level would not have been unable to protect herself so there would be a chance to meet her face to face later.

As Lennok thought that he pushed the bread he was holding into his mouth and stood up.

Lennok shook his head as he looked at Myungseon who stopped eating and got up after him.

“I’m planning on going to Lapis so there’s no need to follow me.”

“no. “Let’s go together.”

Myeongseong answered immediately gathering his clothes.

“I have been asked to guide Evan whenever he wants.”

The two headed straight to Lapis’ office.

She who was groaning with a pile of documents as tall as herself greeted the two people happily.

“Welcome. “I was waiting.”

“You look very busy.”

“In the process of recovering the remains of the floating island we have to deal with cooperation measures and research rights for the homunculus corpse. “Because we have to coordinate opinions directly with the government it is an issue that cannot be left to others.”

When Lapis gave Seong-myeong a look he lowered his head and immediately retreated.

A neatness that is completely different from the somewhat sloppy attitude until now.

“Your loyalty is amazing. “Are you naturally like that?”

“Seonmyeong is a survivor of an extinct samurai family. “After losing everything in his family to the ‘White Lion’ we brought him in as he was burning with revenge.”

“White lion?”

“He is a murderer known to be a member of the Pandemonium War. “He is a criminal with a special wanted order due to his extremely cruel nature and bizarre nature of liking human flesh and he has a personality that creates resentment by creating hostile relationships.”

“hmm….”

Well there is a crocodile giant there is an eagle head and it is not strange if there is a lion.

“More than that we would like to settle Evan’s contribution to this matter.”

“It’s settlement.”

“Evan has not yet officially joined the Blue House so he is an outsider. “I think it’s natural to pay that kind of price.”

Lapis said that and stood up.

“Rather than saying something here I think it would be better to explain it by showing it in person. “Please follow me.”

She immediately went to the basement of the lighthouse with Lennok.

After passing through the first basement floor where the guest rooms were located and the second floor which was full of shabby secret rooms and warehouses and going down to the third floor a huge iron door greeted the two people.

When Lapis touched the door and poured magic power into it the iron door opened and the interior was revealed.

The lukewarm warmth you feel as soon as you open the door.

A unique scent that rises from a mixture of all kinds of magical powers inside.

It feels similar to when Raoul a Buyeo faction warlock showed me the warehouse where he collected his artifacts.

Perhaps this place that Lapis brought now serves a similar purpose.

Various weapons and goods were piled up in a wide open space with dim lighting.

“This is a safe containing the goods acquired as the Blue Eye returned to the lighthouse.”

After saying that she passed through the messy piles of artifacts and items and headed toward the deepest part of the vault.

Four items placed in a luxurious glass display case that are significantly different from other items.

A variety of artifacts emanating magical fields that were unique even to Lennok.

It is a precious item… no it goes beyond that level and emits a powerful force that instantly overwhelms even Lennok.

The magic power of other artifacts flowing out of this area seems to be overshadowed by the magic power gushing out from here.

Lapis noticing Lennok’s gaze spoke.

“These are the equipment that my grandmother used. “In other words it seems like he is called a winemaker.”

“…It’s an item that the Ascendant used directly?”

“To be exact it is an item he used before attempting ascension. “I heard that you haven’t used it since you took on the mission of lighthouse keeper.”

“….”

We know that the collection of artifacts that high-ranking wizards use to assist with magic or to help in battle is called a magic arsenal.

According to what Lapis said wouldn’t it be an item that Madrea Falseer the Heavenly Sight used until just before she reached level 9?

“The items gathered here are artifacts that I left out because they don’t really suit me but their effect is significant. If I meet a qualified person one day I plan to hand it to them as a sign of being with the Blue Eyes. “I think this is enough compensation for what happened.”

As Lapis said that she opened the display case and took out a black shining prayer bead from it.

“It is an item called Jeongto Shinhaejineon (程土伸該珍言) and it is a Buddhist instrument made by weaving together 108 eggs made by carving the Cheonah tree. Please take it.”

Lennok did not hesitate and took the item she handed him.

Now I had no intention of turning down the gift from Lapis just because I didn’t want to get involved with Blue Eyes.

Above all the fact that it was an artifact used by a level 8 magician strongly stimulated Lennok’s interest.

An artifact worthy of being carried by a magician who has reached that level must have very unique or powerful capabilities.

Lapis’ explanation continued.

“As far as I know it is a legal tool that works by specifying and developing a specific space to bind a concept. Grisha and I have already tried our hand at it once but we couldn’t do it easily because it requires a considerable understanding of space.”

“Understanding space….”

“It has the ability to decompose a specific space and analyze its properties so it is said that it helped my grandmother learn the ability of heavenly vision.”

“Is it okay to hand me something like that?”

If it is an item that helps Madrea directly learn the ability of Heavenly Vision it will undoubtedly be a great help in helping her understand space-based spells.

Lapis calmly nodded.

“Unlike my grandmother who inherited her mission without any foundation I have already inherited everything from her. Rather it is too much for me to use as I do not have much talent in combat.”

After saying that Lennok said no more.

According to Lapis’s explanation it seems to be a binding and sealing tool based on understanding of space. If Madrea were to carry it herself the effect would have been enormous.

For Lennok who found it difficult not to kill his opponent it seemed like it could be of great help when he needed to subdue someone.

As soon as I wear the prayer beads on my wrist I feel my mind becoming clearer.

Thinking that something might be wrong I turned off my magic detection and looked around and I felt that my innate spatial perception ability had become more sensitive.

It was easy to guess how great an origin this seemingly featureless item had.

Lennok inadvertently burst out in admiration as he touched the prayer beads.

“That’s amazing. Are all artifacts used by the Ascendants like this?”

“The number of artifacts with combat capabilities is not large but the performance itself is sufficient for top-level magicians to carry around.”

Lapis answered as she closed the safe door and came out.

“If it weren’t for Evan’s suggestion I originally planned to take out some of the weapons that exist in the Blue Eye in exchange for revealing the location of the lighthouse but… the most important thing is not to reveal our military power.”

Of course the reason she can say this is because the restoration of floating island 2 is going very smoothly but isn’t it fortunate that things were resolved well in the end?

‘If you think about the essence extracted from the drug lord’s body this is enough profit for us.’

The essence of the homunculus extracted just before escaping from the island.

It is like an essence that encapsulates and compresses the secret meaning of alchemy into one body.

It wouldn’t be difficult to learn alchemy if he studied essence along with his basic knowledge of alchemy.

Thinking so Lennoc followed Lapis up to the lighthouse.

The top of a huge lighthouse with half of the tower broken off.

At the observation deck where the remains of the collapsed stone wall were strewn Lapis looked back at Lennok as the wind blew.

“Thank you for your hard work this time. “Originally I only planned to share a simple story but I unexpectedly received a lot of help.”

“You don’t have to think like that. “If there was no chance of winning I wouldn’t have even tried.”

Although it took a toll on my body it cannot be denied that there was a worthwhile harvest.

Beyond simply finding a few roots of Malabeth Lennok’s magical and financial gains were in contrast to everything else he had done so far.

Achievement of flame-type unique magic obtained by mastering Baizen and creation magic created through direct research.

Goods obtained by robbing not only Malabeth but also the drug lord’s entire medicinal warehouse.

In addition the Buddhist scriptures given by Lapis as a token of gratitude for this incident.

The fact that they have the upper hand on information that the drug lord is in a coma will undoubtedly come in handy when they return to the Balkans.

Although he had been busy wandering around the entire Dominion without being able to rest properly for several days Lennok was satisfied because at least he was rewarded for his hard work.

“What do you plan to do next?”

“I plan to be away from the Dominion again for a while. “We succeeded in taking down the drug lord but it would be better to take a step back and observe the situation to see what is going on in the battle.”

“….”

“Not only the Bokmajeon but also the Guido Church are showing unusual movements. Unlike Bokmajeon who plans to use the monsters of the open sea they are fanatics who are truly serving the apocalypse so we should be more vigilant.”

Lennok looked at Lapis’ back and tilted his head.

The bright sunlight illuminated her back and cast a shadow on her face.

“Are you no longer telling me to come into Qing’s sights? “It’s so nice of you to hand me something like this.”

“I know that you cannot be persuaded with just one or two words so wouldn’t that be enough?”

“….”

“For now I’m content with just continuing our relationship in this way.”

I feel that Lapis’ attitude has become more relaxed than before.

Apparently after seeing Lennok deal with a drug lord she decided to completely change her ways.

“If you come back again when you can gauge how far we can go that will be enough.”

“You speak well. Even if you say that what are you going to do if I really don’t even show my face?”

Instead of answering Lapis smiled softly.

Lennok couldn’t help but laugh as well.

“Well okay. I was planning on going back to the Balkans anyway. It won’t be too late to put off the next task. Until then let’s see how well you can keep your word.”

“I won’t give up. “Shouldn’t you be willing to go in and out of the threshold nine times in order to get a good spear?”

“…Do they use proverbs like that here? “It doesn’t matter whether it’s a spear or a sword so feel free to think about it.”

I slightly shook the prayer beads on my wrist.

“I don’t want things like yesterday but I will always welcome a gift like today.”
