Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 241



Brazier (1)

Lennok was lost in thought as he quietly looked at the back of Zionis.

Why was he the first to visit Lennok who had disguised his identity and hidden his identity leaving aside Eveline Marcia the leader and person in charge of the group?

Considering that he mentioned freezing magic and proposed a sparring match first it could be said that he was purely driven by the desire to win.

If so I don’t understand Zionis’ reaction.

Unlike the Senate which does not show its face in person there must be a reason why it was the first to appear here…

While I was lost in thought the crowds gathered in the practice area began to disperse one by one.

Several wizards who had followed him to assist him quickly disappeared after him but the rumbling did not go away.

I can’t help it.

There is too little information given to figure out Zionis’ intentions right now.

Although I unexpectedly found myself competing with him I needed to gather more information.

We also need to find out how the magical eye in the left eye which was altered during the sparring with Zionis works.

As I felt like I was visualizing the scene of the branching point observed in my mind for a split second the problem of the magical eye that changed immediately was also quite important.

Lennok let out a small sigh and turned his head towards the wizard who had been guiding him just a moment ago.

“It looks like you unintentionally made a fuss.”

“That’s…”

The guide hesitated to answer with an awkward expression unlike his friendly demeanor just moments ago.

A wizard who came as a guest from outside. Also how should we accept the fact that an ice wizard who has difficulty using his power properly in this environment competed with the tower owner’s direct disciple?

In a way it was natural to be careful about what you say and do in front of someone with above-standard skills.

“I’d like to see just one last place. Can you guide me?”

“…Where should I take you?”

“The largest library in the Magic Tower.”

Lennok turned his head and said with a grin.

“I want to look around where there are the most books.”

“Ohh ohh!!”

“….”

“Good very good!!” Yes this is it!!”

A mouser with a very excited face ran like crazy his beard shaking.

“I came here just to see this!!”

Evelyn stared blankly at the back of a stocky middle-aged man running while swinging his arms and legs wildly.

She followed him because she was worried about his safety but she was also planning to stop by at least once within three days.

Blaver Magic Tower located in a volcanic area.

It is the only advantage that old-fashioned magicians chose despite the inconvenient terrain and it is a facility that is difficult to find anywhere else.

The lowest level of the screw-shaped tower.

There was a huge furnace there that directly touched the deepest part of the volcano the boiling center and used its enormous firepower to manufacture metal.

A majestic pillar of fire swirling between three huge pillars.

It is by far the largest and hottest flame in the volcanic region of Claoronis.

The lava which is boiling abnormally hot and overflowing from nature goes through a simple process and is then poured into metals brought from various places.

The powerful natural energy mixed with the lava flows into the metal instantly melting any metal into a castable form with enormous heat and processing the molten metal into the desired shape.

Once processed through a furnace metals become much easier to clean than before and when external stimulation is applied their hardness and durability slowly increase.

Just kneading the metal once through a furnace makes external distribution easier and even secondary processing can be carried out smoothly.

A huge furnace tower built with great effort from the lava of the volcanic region Claoronis and the Blaver Magic Tower.

Nothing has been officially revealed as to what makes this possible.

However there were more than one place on this continent that kept such a secret.

The only thing that matters to Mouser is that the perfect furnace for those who work with metal has appeared before their eyes.

While I was staring at the wizard who was so excited and started asking questions about various things to the wizards who were managing the furnace I heard a familiar voice from behind.

“Is it okay if I just watch?”

Evelin inadvertently turned her head back and burst into laughter.

Lennok who walked out with a calm face had almost dark spots under his eyes.

“There are big shadows under my eyes. “How diligently did you research?”

“…I stopped researching data.”

Lennok replied touching his eyes with a shy expression.

The main library located in Jungang-dong Mtap. As I was looking through all the books there I lost track of time and ended up staying up all night.

There weren’t many magic books that could help Lennok’s level right now but the history of magic towers and records of their achievements were one of the things of great interest to Lennok who did not have much interaction with other magicians.

“You seem to be working harder than me. Are you finally feeling the urge to become an agent?”

Lennok glanced at Evelyn who was teasing him with a bright smile.

“It is true that my condition deteriorates easily. “Be careful in the future.”

Although the condition has improved considerably it is true that the aftereffects of successfully imprinting the image in the magnetic field have not yet gone away.

There is no particular problem in battles that simply use magical power but if the body is overworked even a little abnormal symptoms like this are revealed.

Evelyn looked at Lennok like that and silently shook her head.

“Take care of yourself. “The response from Blaver Magic Tower is more favorable than expected but you never know when or what will happen.”

“I know. So let’s take a look at this in advance now.”

Lennok said and looked up at the huge furnace tower.

Dark red heat leaking from inside. The heat flowing from inside the softly shining tower spreads like a haze blurring my vision.

“There is no doubt that it is a core facility that is treated with great importance even in this gigantic magic tower… The fact that it has been opened to us all the way here must be of great significance in this matter.”

“…”

“I wonder how on earth the heat flow is controlled so that this amount of heat can be manipulated at will… but I don’t think they will tell me that much.”

It is by far the core resource of the facility accounting for the largest portion among the external income sources of the Blaver Magic Tower West Continent Branch.

It probably contains the essence of all the research and effort invested in the Magic Tower.

If you can interpret it or obtain the internal blueprint it will be possible to use it in various ways.

Evelyn was looking at Lennok who was deep in thought with her hand over his left eye. While he was shrugging his shoulders a voice suddenly came from behind him.

“Is the investigation progressing smoothly?”

For Lennok this is the exact tone he heard vividly yesterday.

As if he was trying to get over the aftermath of the sparring in a day he gave Lennok a leisurely look and walked into the furnace control room without hesitation.

Evelyn turned around and immediately recognized him and held out her hand.

“This is my first time seeing it in person. “Lord Zionis.”

“Nice to meet you.”

With an indifferent expression he took off his gloves shook my hand and spoke.

“I’m sorry for revealing my face so late. “There are a lot of problems that need to be dealt with even within the Magic Tower.”

“no. “I understand.”

“In fact that is why we opened the internal facilities to guests in this way. “Currently with the exception of the wizards who manage functions within the tower everyone is working hard to clean things up.”

“It looks like the incident with Bokmajeon was that serious.”

Before answering Zionis glanced up at the furnace where Mouser was in the midst of looking at it.

“Would you believe that this very furnace was on the verge of being taken over?”

“….”

“Just two people broke through the magic tower’s strict security and quickly took control of the control room that managed the furnace. “If we had been a little late in taking action the entire furnace would have exploded and the Magic Tower would have disappeared.”

Even as he talked about how the magic tower which boasted a long history was almost defeated Zionis’ expression was not disturbed at all.

“okay. so….”

Evelyn nodded quietly.

This was the reason why Blaber Magic Tower could not specifically mention the dispute with the Bokmajeon.

Isn’t it too hasty to announce to the public that not only was control of the furnace one of the core facilities of the Magic Tower lost but it may have exploded due to failure to control it?

It is a really big problem that the control and security of the furnace has been breached.

If this fact were revealed to the outside world Magic Top’s stock price and business prospects would inevitably be drastically reduced.

“We succeeded in stopping it by blowing up the engine room and forcibly shutting off the system… but since the magical power of the entire Senate was used most of them are in hospital beds.”

Was that also the reason why the Senate did not show up? At least on the outside it was clear that the reason was flawless.

When the two people showed some level of understanding Gionis paused slightly before continuing.

“So I’d like to offer you a deal.”

“Deal… you mean?”

“yes.”

He said in a cold voice.

“It is said that recently unknown caves have been discovered one after another outside the Magic Tower.”

“that….”

Isn’t this the same cave that Mouser was talking about?

When Evelyn looked as if she had guessed something Zionis immediately spoke.

“The Senate suspects that it may be a tunnel dug from Bokmajeon to infiltrate the Magic Tower. “If the speculation is true we will have to secure the route they created no matter what.”

“….”

“If it’s okay with you Marcia could you investigate the tunnels there? “I am concerned that traces or risk factors left behind by Bokmajeon may hinder future visits by outsiders.”

Zionis continued calmly.

“Originally it would be a problem that everyone in the Senate including me would have to solve directly… but it is difficult for me to go out alone because of the public attention.”

“So you want to lend us a hand now?”

“Of course I’m not saying this out of the blue. “You can’t just leave bad things to customers.”

But Evelin only pretended to think for a moment and immediately shook her head.

“sorry.”

“….”

“As the leadership has given me permission to view the Magic Tower facilities I would like to focus on the investigation within the tower during the deadline.”

It’s natural.

If the Pandemonium really broke into the furnace control room as Zionis said wouldn’t it be possible to find traces of the Pandemonium inside the tower even without investigating the cave near the volcanic area?

Unless the price is quite extraordinary there is no need to share power from Evelyn’s perspective.

“Is that so… then.”

The very moment when Zionis who had sighed lightly was about to say something.

Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!

An incredibly deafening roar rang out and huge shock waves swept everywhere.

“Aaaaaaa!!”

“Toneee!!”

A desperate scream and a cry desperately calling for someone.

All three eyes turned simultaneously to the furnace below the control room.

The tightly closed iron door of the furnace was wide open and a huge amount of flames were shooting out in all directions like a rocket.

A wizard who was concentrating on management in front of the iron gate was swept away by the spray flames and his flesh and muscles evaporated and disappeared in an instant.

The moment other wizards fell into panic after witnessing the tragedy of a fellow member of the same magic tower evaporating whole.

Evelyn was the first to move.

She jumped down to the bottom of the control room like a lightning bolt and immediately threw the fallen wizards upward to avoid the flames of the brazier spreading indiscriminately in all directions.

Immediately after that Lennok who sensed her intention immediately created an ice road in the air and slid the injured wizards into the control room.

The slide made of ice melted instantly due to the enormous heat but it only took a moment.

“Huh!! Aaaaa!!”

“Ahaaaa!!”

“Euuuuuu!!”

It is said that the greatest pain a human can feel is death by burns.

Wizards who have dealt with flames and been by their side throughout their lives also cannot avoid that pain.

“Call the medical team immediately and contact the power room!!”

Zionis with a stiff expression shouted to the surrounding wizards.

“It can only be stopped by cutting off the magic source leading to the furnace. in action!!”

“It’s late. “You’re going to have to move now.”

Lennok muttered as he took off the gloves he was wearing.

I don’t know why the furnace suddenly malfunctioned but if it couldn’t be stopped right away it wouldn’t be surprising if the entire central building of the Magic Tower collapsed.

“You need to stop the flames coming out of the furnace even if just for a moment and close the door. Otherwise the damage will only increase.”

“…I will try to manipulate the direction of the flames in the furnace. “You have to do everything you can.”

Zionis raised his magic power and immediately ran out of the control room.

Lennok also ran down the stairs and immediately started making hand signs.

In that moment Evelyn who had evacuated the other wounded came down behind Lennok and whispered.

“Can you do half?”

“You can only stop it for a moment.”

Lennok answered.

“Considering the heat felt and the concentration of magical power 30 seconds after the iron door closes… the power source of the furnace must be cut off within that time and Zionis can control the flames of the furnace.”

“okay.”

Evelyn answered while slowly lowering her posture on the spot.

“I’m going to close the door so please take care of me behind it.”

“The heat is going to be incredible. “Do you think you’ll be okay without any special equipment?”

Evelyn answered without hesitation.

“Well… if that firepower continues to come out the central building may be reduced to ashes. “If you don’t want to die you have to try to stop it.”

“…good.”

After replying Lennok closed his left eye and covered it with his hand.

When Lennok opened his eyes again his eyes were colored vivid purple.
