Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 21



The news that Madrea Palsier had passed away at the end of her life hit the Balkans very strongly.

Regardless of the fact that she sided with the Philenom Dominion there were still many people who admired and admired the existence of the Ascended.

The city government which always seemed to be there or not quickly took action.

They declared a two-day public holiday and announced that they would simultaneously resolve the chaos.

In fact it was no different than a declaration from the city government to give people two days to keep quiet but everyone accepted it.

Media government citizens police… It was enough time for everyone to mourn the last moments of the Ascendant.

“That’s the fundamental cause.”

Jenny who returned to the bar after the convocation order said.

She must have been quite stressed at the place she was called to so she was already chain-smoking more than five cigarettes.

“Excessive abuse and indiscriminate discrimination of Dominion prisoners… There are many reasons but there is one decisive factor.”

‘Black Consumer’ a top-secret project carried out in an undeveloped area.

The plan which was said to have directly contributed to the creation of pollutants was the direct cause of this war of nerves with the Dominion.

Contrary to the opinion of the city government inspection team which announced that there were no human experiments evidence leaked from within the council that experiments were conducted on prisoners of the Dominion Territory.

It was a fight that the Balkan city government could not win from the moment the truth of the experiments committed on prisoners in violation of city regulations and ethics was revealed.

In addition it is also understandable that the city government gave in and went in unconditionally as even the ascendant sided with the autonomous government.

“……..”

However Lennok couldn’t help but wonder if that was really the only reason she came to Balkan.

In the final moments of her life was the Dominion’s victory really all that Madrea Falseer wanted to see?

If Lennok’s existence had been stepped on by her gaze which is said to foresee both the past and the future…

After her death Lennok was still unable to shake off his illusions about questions he could not answer.

All I can do is keep in my memory the name she said Alkaid.

“The problem starts now.”

Jordan who was swirling the cigarette smoke flowing next to her said.

“I don’t know what Cheongyeon was thinking when he got involved in this matter but as a result the existence of the ascendant who led this one-sided agreement disappeared.”

“Are you saying they will move again in the Balkan direction?”

“Of course not right now. But the city government probably has no intention of maintaining this unfavorable agreement for long. “I may take a moderate stance a few times but I will not hesitate to take radical measures.”

Although the exact contents of the agreement were not known what he wanted to say was simple.

Lennok muttered gloomily.

“…That means war could break out.”

A brief moment of peace created by the great Ascendant sacrificing his life.

A depressing feeling that that fleeting moment will not last long.

Jenny responded harshly.

“Considering the prestige of Cheongyeon who can foresee the past and the future at the same time the city government may not take a hard line from the beginning… but it will not care about the dead for that long.”

Lennok was lost in thought as he watched Jenny mumbling that this was almost the first time an ascendant had intervened in a dispute between cities in this way.

I don’t even know much about this city yet but I never thought such troublesome things would already happen with other regions.

Of course Evan Bylan the identity Lennog left behind is just an ordinary citizen so he won’t suddenly be drafted somewhere if a war breaks out but it’s a problem that cannot be ignored for Van who is making money on the bottom.

In any case the fact that there is nothing he can do right now does not change.

Lennok asked rubbing the tobacco in his mouth into the ashtray placed in the corner of the bar.

“It would be impossible to accept work today.”

“It will take 48 hours at the earliest for the city government or other clients to properly understand the situation and move normally. “Please wait until then.”

I nod my head and stand up.

Lennok was lost in thought as he left the bar.

What if Madrea came to Balkan because she already knew of Lennok’s existence?

If it was to personally confirm that it was a causeless result that she said…

Although he wouldn’t have thrown away his life just because of that Lennok couldn’t help but feel something strange as he recalled his conversation with her.

His tone of voice was calm and restrained as if he was waiting to make eye contact with Lennok.

It may be difficult for him to understand the Ascendant’s emotions but there were too many awkward aspects to that brief encounter to be dismissed as a coincidence.

Did she really fully understand Lennok’s disparate talents?

Perhaps he had missed out on someone who could have been a true helper.

“……”

If I thought about it for a long time it was meaningless.

While I was rummaging around in my arms to find the tobacco I lost my hand and dropped another item.

“Is this…?”

A mechanical device resembling a white fountain pen.

The laser cutting machine was stolen by the gangsters who had financed it right after he escaped from the factory.

At first I think I often held it in my hand for self-defense but after shooting assist magic became available it became largely useless.

Lennok reached out to pick up the cutter from the floor.

Wow!!

But first someone’s thick boot stomps on the cutter and won’t let go.

“……What is it?”

I knew the other person was coming but I was annoyed by Lennok’s tone which I never expected to start an argument like this.

“That’s what I’m going to say you skinny guy.”

A bulbous man with a bushy beard grumbled.

The Santa Claus candidate is a middle-aged man who has been unable to get a job and looks like he has a hole in his face.

He had a very strong smell of oil coming from his body and his face was bright red as if he had had too much to drink.

“Who are you that you carelessly spill my things all over the floor?”

“This is yours?”

It’s been a while since I’ve had such an absurd argument but there’s no reason to avoid it.

The moment Lennok took a step forward while raising his magic power the man screamed.

“He was a fucking wizard. “Please save me!!”

“……..”

Lennok was speechless at the sight of the man lying flat on the floor while saying that.

He was irritated and spewed out his magic rather blatantly but he seemed to have noticed it in an instant.

Lennok asked taking the laser cutter the man held out and wiping it away with his sleeve.

“What do you mean it’s yours?”

Unless there was confusion in Lennok’s memory the man would not have been there when the cutter was taken.

Or did those gangsters steal the cutter from this man at that time?

The man responded with a blunt expression.

“no. It’s made in my shop so it’s mine. “Is there any other meaning?”

“This cutter is a Dyke product.”

Lennok who clearly remembered the conversation the gangsters had had turned over the cutter and showed him the brand but the man didn’t even flinch.

“If it’s a product I modified myself it’s mine.”

“alteration….? Ah then you…”

Now that I think about it the gangsters said they had to pay the bills to an old man.

Was that what this person meant? There is no coincidence like this.

Lennok chuckled as he put the cutter into his arms.

“If you sold it for money it’s a customer’s item. Why is it yours?”

“Damn… This is why I can’t communicate with people who don’t know craftsmanship.”

The man sighed and waved his hand.

“it’s okay. Anyway seeing as he has it he seems to be my customer. If you need anything come to the store later. “I’m sorry about what happened today.”

He said that and disappeared without even hearing an answer.

The problem is that Lennok doesn’t know who he is or where the store is.

‘If I remember later I’ll at least ask Jenny.’

Now that I think about it I had decided to find a way to gather information but I was just sitting there blankly.

Since we can’t just rely on Jenny or Zorden’s words we’ll have to find a way… It seemed difficult to do so without taking action ourselves.

I shook my head and headed home.

Two days passed and as soon as Lennok received a call from Jenny he went out of the studio again.

[A request came in right after my name was registered on the deep web. But this time… I think you’ll have to judge for yourself.]

Dyke Enterprises

The situation seems quite serious to ignore her shaking voice.

“……”

“It’s over here.”

When he went inside Jordon immediately took him to the office inside.

This is the place used when doing business with Amnac Pharmaceuticals.

Two people sitting on a soft chair and waiting for him.

A man in a suit with his back turned toward Jenny and Lennok who were sitting across from him.

Unusually it has dyed its hair a very bright light green and has earrings hanging from its ears.

At the sound of the door opening the man turned around and waved his hand.

“Oh you’re here.”

He is a man who gives off a somewhat rough vibe even though he is dressed in a suit and sleek shoes.

Although no magical energy leaked from his body Lennok never looked down on the man.

There are plenty of opponents on this floor who do not exude magical power on the outside.

I don’t know if it’s an innate constitution like Maoren’s or a distant difference in level like an ascendant’s.

While Lennok went and sat down next to Jenny Jorden quietly closed the door and disappeared across the hallway.

Certainly he tended to avoid any unnecessary interference in these matters.

Even though the two were seated the man stared at Lennok without saying anything for a while.

The strong interest in those eyes in turn attracted Lennok’s curiosity.

“Is this your first time seeing a wizard?”

“uh. “It’s my first time seeing you.”

An answer beyond imagination.

The man then grinned. It’s a smile so strange that it catches your eye.

A sharp force that makes your skin feel numb. This is not an attitude a client would show.

“It’s really amazing.”

“……..”

“Among those who work alone I have rescued several good fighters but this is my first time seeing a wizard. “He’s not even a Gara guy he’s a real proper guy.”

“hey.”

Lennok said with an expressionless face.

“uh?”

“Do you know me?”

“…..what?”

“I don’t know why you’re acting weird in front of someone you’ve never met before.”

Whoa!!

As I stood up I immediately increased my magic power.

I rotated my magic power to its maximum and struck down the man in front of me.

Lennok’s magical power had grown to the point where physical interference was actually possible if he exerted all his power.

Watching the man’s face turn pale in an instant Lennok slowly took out the cutter from his arms.

Ji-ing…!!

Lennok spoke softly as he held the sparkling cutter in front of the man.

“If you want to entrust a job to someone you have to get your teeth straight. “It’s not about subtly touching the nerves and measuring the angle.”

Lennok wasn’t very used to these types of people but he knew roughly how to deal with them.

He is a person who constantly checks whether his opponent is stronger or weaker than him and once he thinks he has the upper hand he will stick with that attitude until the end.

Instead of sitting still and watching until the end to see what happens on the other side it was right to press hard from the beginning and prevent even a backlash.

And Lennok already had the ability to do so.

Jenny didn’t say anything from the moment Lennok stood up.

Lennok looked down at the man and instantly released the magic power that had been suppressing his neck.

Phew!

Only then did the man turn his stiff neck glance up at Lennok and nod.

“…Okay I apologize. “He was a more temperamental friend than I heard.”

Even though he was strangling just a moment ago he didn’t feel intimidated and instead smiled at me.

It was a more pleasant response than expected but Lennok ignored it.

This man is qualitatively different from someone like Dylan.

The fact that he shows this attitude when he comes to place a request is in itself proof that the line between enemies and allies is blurred.

Just by looking at it it looked closer to a beast than a human.

‘It’s a beast…’

As I thought about it I had a rough idea of ​​the man’s identity.

While Lennok was about to sit down again the man joked again.

“But was that cutter remodeled by Yeongtaeng? “I thought he was gone a long time ago but it looks like he’s still alive and doing that.”

“what?”

“If you don’t want to answer you can’t. Please tell me hello later. “Our security chief is preparing very well.”

The man narrowed his eyes and took out a business card from his pocket and placed it on the desk.

“Even though the situation is like this I should introduce myself right? This is Killian. “I’m part of the support team at the company that manufactured the cutter you were holding just now.”

Lennok looked down at the cutter he was still holding in his hand at the completely unexpected words.

Dyke.

The trademark elegantly drawn in cursive was shining vividly.

The man said looking down at the figure happily.

“Dike headquarters is looking to hire you directly. “Do you want to hear the conditions?”
