Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 239



Gionis (1)

Despite Zionis’ unconventional remarks the meeting ended surprisingly quickly.

The other senators also did not object much as if the person in charge of the position had already been decided.

Mouser who was granted access to all facilities in the Magic Tower and came out of the conference room in an instant muttered shakily.

“You were a true friend which is rare among friends these days. “It was a much more reasonable conversation than I expected.”

“Gionis Bergwijn. “He is said to be one of the direct disciples of the tower lord who resides in the central branch of the Blaver Magic Tower and is a supernova who reached the level of divine status before he even turned 70.”

Evelyn had done quite a bit of research on the Magic Tower before coming here and had no hesitation in sharing information with Mouser.

“Oh my god are you saying that he is a level 7 wizard one of the few in the Senate?”

“They say that now that the powerful people of the Magic Tower have been called to the front due to a conflict near the central branch of the Blaver Magic Tower they are the most powerful people in the tower. “I understand that there is no opposition from others.”

“Hmm it’s definitely a little different from the old-fashioned wizards I’ve seen so far. “If this is the case wouldn’t you say that Blaver Magic Tower has done its duty sufficiently?”

“…That’s not necessarily true.”

Evelyn said in a calm voice.

“Three days would not be enough time to tour this huge magic tower.”

In terms of size this huge magic tower located in the middle of a lava lake is the size of six or more buildings tens of stories tall combined.

Even if we exclude those who simply live here and study magic and study it as an academic ancient books and materials stored for over hundreds of years as well as all kinds of equipment and research papers on relics are piled up and occupy a huge space.

“What’s more that man named Zionis didn’t say a word that he would give us a proper guide.”

“This means that it was a measure that paid great attention to the public opinion.”

Lennok said.

“In any case the fact that all the internal facilities of the Magic Tower have been opened to delegations from the two cities will be enough to re-establish the prestige that the Magic Tower is operating normally.”

However the fact that they come out so actively significantly lowers the possibility that the Magic Tower surrendered to them while fighting the Bokmajeon.

Contrary to Evelyn’s worries did Blaver Magic Tower merely suffer heavy losses in the conflict with Pandemonium?

Instead of coming to a conclusion on that question right away Lennok quietly closed his eyes and began to feel the flow of magic around him.

Even if you can’t find traces of Pandemonium right away there are endless things Lennok can do.

After a long time a wizard named Zionis had personally issued the facility permit for the Magic Tower.

He wouldn’t be a wizard if he couldn’t utilize this opportunity to the fullest.

First as Evelyn suggested the group decided to split up and concentrate on gathering information from the places of their choice.

It is quite inefficient to have everyone moving around together to check the entirety of this vast tower.

Considering that it would have been wise to immediately divide the personnel into zones and conduct an intensive investigation there.

Mouser seemed intent on moving separately at least to inquire about the whereabouts of his party.

Among them the place Lennok chose was the practice room where the old book storage and training room are located in the basement of the tower.

It was a spacious space created so that the tower’s wizards could continue training without leaving the tower.

“Many wizards have visited our magic tower but it has been a long time since we had a magician who mastered ice magic.”

“Is that so?”

“yes. Since the properties are almost opposites in many ways there are many inconveniences from how to get here to staying at Mapap. For example…”

The guide managing the practice area naturally stretched out his arm toward the garden outside the hallway window.

A huge lizard well over a meter long was flicking its tongue beyond the glass window.

Green flames dance on the lizard’s back. It was clear that it was no ordinary creature.

“It’s called Salamander. It is one of the magical beasts that live in volcanic areas and has the characteristics of liking fire and hating cold. “Usually when you see magicians who have mastered the freezing technique they have violent tempers…”

The guide who was about to say that suddenly stopped.

The lizard that was staring at Lennok suddenly put its head close to the glass window and started rubbing its cheek like crazy.

Boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo.

“….”

The joy of meeting a lost hometown friend.

Both wizards were at a loss for words at the lizard’s passionate gestures which seemed to be showering him with affection.

“Ha ha ha… It looks like the wizard really likes it. “I’m not the type of guy who is friendly to everyone like this.”

“Are you raising friends like this in the training area?”

Lennok naturally changed the topic by asking a question.

In fact Lennok’s proficiency in flame-type magic would be much higher than that of ice magic so in a way it was natural.

There was no reason to show anything suspicious even in a situation like this.

“Oh that’s right. Building 3 where the practice area is located has a sturdy tower and is equipped with various tools and creatures to gauge the level of the wizards. Would you like to take a look?”

From what the guide said there are a lot of strange things inside Building 3 so much so that when showing the scenery of the Magic Tower to outsiders they usually show the Building 3.

A knot that varies in strength depending on the concentration of magical power. A puzzle used to test magical power manipulation abilities. A bell that changes color depending on the level of magical power sensitivity.

Various artifacts designed purely to stimulate practitioners’ spirit of challenge and increase their desire for self-development.

“The most representative items are these.”

The guide took out a transparent crystal from an antique display case and held it out to Lennok.

“It is an artifact that displays the instantaneous output of magical power in a quantifiable manner when you hold it and inject magical energy into it.”

“okay.”

“Would you like to try it?”

Lennok unconsciously stretched out his hand at those words but suddenly came to his senses and shook his head.

“It’s okay.”

For some reason an intense sense of déjà vu stops Lennok. I felt like if I grabbed that crystal it would shatter.

Lennok who avoided a development that seemed like he had seen it somewhere with his amazing intuition led the guide first and quietly picked up an item placed on the shelf.

Differential cardboard with different colors depending on horsepower sensitivity. It is said that the higher the sensitivity the more colorful the colors appear.

Fortunately it was a consumable item so I wouldn’t have noticed even if one of them disappeared.

When I lightly held the paper and injected magic into it various colors instantly appeared on the paper and soon began to cover the entire paper like crazy.

Lennok looked down at the paper whose colors had overlapped and eventually turned pitch black and then quietly stuffed it into his coat pocket.

Belatedly the guide realized that Lennok was not following and turned his head.

“What’s wrong?”

“…It’s nothing.”

After that Lennok followed the guide around the three magic towers.

“This is a beacon that smoothens the flow of magical energy for flame-type wizards…”

Grumble!

“Pressure glass that can withstand a certain degree of horsepower pressure….”

Wow!

“Pollen can be felt sensitively depending on sensitivity….”

“Cough!”

“….”

“….”

The wizard’s eyebrows narrowed to the middle.

Lennok also cleared his throat and slightly averted his gaze.

Perhaps because it was a facility where magic knowledge and talent were gathered Lennok’s heterogeneous talents were affecting all directions just by passing by.

It would be difficult to arouse suspicion here.

But the guide soon relaxed his expression and smiled broadly.

“Indeed the world is wide and there are many talented people. Since you have this level of skill you would have been able to come and inspect our magic tower in person.”

“….”

Well I expected it to some extent but it was too naive.

Should I say that I don’t know what’s going on in the world?

It seems that there is an underlying sense of being the chosen people toward those who do not know magic but even taking that into account they do not have the guts or cleverness to join a criminal organization.

At least among the wizards I have checked in this area none appear to be in collusion with Pandemonium.

…Maybe I should think a little more.

Lennoc cleared his throat and tried to cheer himself up.

“It seems you are interested in the world outside the Magic Tower.”

“Well… that’s right. Who wouldn’t do that? When I work at the tower I desperately feel that the days are too long. “It’s been over 10 years since I entered the Magic Tower and now the scenery outside is a blur.”

Although these people came to this remote volcanic region of their own volition with an innate talent for magic it is natural that they often have different thoughts.

Lennok roughly accepted what he said and began to tell a brief story about life in the Balkans.

The wizards seemed indifferent at first but it was difficult not to become interested in the cruel stories of blood spilling out in the back alleys.

“Oh that’s right….”

“Huh I never thought there would be so many ruthless people running around. “This isn’t going to work.”

“It’s funny that these idiots who learned magic by looking over their shoulders are pretending to be wizards in the shadow of a huge city.”

If you subtly bring up the Magic Tower’s wizards and disparage freelance wizards like Lennok the atmosphere will soon become more cheerful.

Even though the wizards of the Magic Tower maintained a humble attitude on the outside they also had a subtle resentment toward magic users who were not properly trained.

The flattery that someone at their level could easily occupy a place in the Balkans right now feels more realistic because of Lennok’s calm attitude.

It may sound obvious but that makes it work even better.

The bustling atmosphere spreads in an instant.

Before we knew it the gathered wizards began to tell each other about the facts they had heard about life in the city.

Lennok who quickly succeeded in gathering nearby wizards naturally changed the subject once the atmosphere had warmed up.

“Well wouldn’t you know these stories better than me Zionis? “At most I was a wizard who lived in the back alleys of the city but he must have traveled around many places as a direct disciple of the tower owner.”

“Oh he is….”

The wizards’ expressions became slightly awkward the moment they heard the name but it was enough to help them join the already exciting atmosphere.

Naturally various words began to flow from the wizards’ circles about Zionis.

“They said that the evaluation was so good that he might soon be awarded the Five-Pointed Prayer Bead. “Even though he is a direct disciple of the Tower Lord he not only does not neglect his training but is also very kind to other magicians.”

“Furthermore the reason he was able to control the ugly atmosphere that led to the recent increase in missing people was because he actively took action on behalf of the old men of the Senate….”

“Uh-huh! “Friend be careful what you say!!”

It didn’t take long for some foolish words to come out of the mouths of several young wizards who were busy trying to get involved in the conversation.

However instead of languishing at the mistake of words Lennog turned his head without any hesitation and raised his magic power again.

“The story is too long. “Then can we tour the proud facilities of Blaver Magic Tower a little longer?”

Lennok smiled faintly looking at the wizards with slightly awkward expressions.

“If there are no special interruptions I would like to experience the full power of the Flame Series’ unique magic today.”

The moment when Lennok naturally tried to steal and learn the flame-type magic from the wizards in the training area.

“If that’s what you want I’ll deal with it myself.”

Suddenly a cold voice came from behind.

“….”

A voice as cold as ice. However the fact that the tone did not contain any hostility actually makes it memorable.

He has bushy hair and a monocle over his left eye. A man as tall as a bead was staring blankly in this direction.

Even in this hot place wearing a thick red-brown coat he casually walked towards us and looked down at the two people.

A transparent expression as if not a drop of blood would come out even if pricked.

That expression showing no emotion is not much different from the voice I heard on the first day I came to the Magic Tower.

It wasn’t difficult to figure out who the other person was.

The wizards of the Magic Tower hurriedly lowered their heads with expressions of great agitation.

“Lord Zionis…!!”

“What brought you to the 3rd Tower of Magic?”

“I heard that one of the guests is actively touring our magic tower.”

Behind the monocle indifferent eyes shone.

“If you say that you are a magician who directly broke through the black fire line spread outside the magic tower it is natural to be interested.”

“….”

“What’s more if you’re an ice-type wizard who doesn’t normally visit volcanic areas… wouldn’t it be natural for you to be interested?”

“great.”

Lennok also nodded without hesitation.

“If I could compete directly with the wizard who completed the hierarchy that alone would be worth it.”

Gionis Bergwijn. As a direct disciple of the tower owner he had just reached the level of sainthood and was dispatched to the Western Continent branch as a candidate for the prayer beads of the Blaver Magic Tower.

The wizards in the tower seem to accept his existence but there are a few things that seem suspicious to Lennok.

What does it mean that he was the first to show his face like this unlike the Senate which did not even reveal his nose?

I felt like I could guess traces of it from his magic.
