Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 243



Brazier (3)

Building 1 is used as a warehouse to store the assets of the Magic Tower and Building 2 is used as a laboratory for wizards.

Building 3 is in charge of old book storage and practice areas. And Building 4 is used as a living area for wizards.

And to the central building which is the core of the magic tower built in the center of the four towers.

Zionis opened all the facilities to the two city delegations but the most important thing was kept hidden from their eyes.

From between the bridge between buildings 2 and 3 Lennok looked up at the sky.

‘The top of the two towers closest to the sky.’

Lava is still boiling under the bridge and endless smoke and haze are flowing in.

Even though he is standing in the deepest part of the volcano no heat reaches Lenok at all.

However the external environment beyond the tower’s barrier is a mixture of ash and dust so even Lennok’s magic detection does not work well.

A stream of haze that seems to exquisitely obscure a specific part of the sky.

The sky is not clearly visible due to the ash and dust but it is clear.

The center of the five-pronged magic tower. To be precise it was clear that something was hidden hundreds of meters above Jungang-dong.

Whoa!!

Lennok immediately cast a floating spell on his collar to levitate his body and then began to float hundreds of meters in the air.

[Reverse Gravity]

The body sways back and forth due to the hot air blowing from below. After casting the reverse gravity magic the balance was roughly achieved.

As soon as I got out of the barrier I felt my breathing becoming difficult but after putting on the shield it wasn’t a big problem.

Only after leaving the crater and rising high enough to reach the clouds was Lennok able to confirm the identity of what was hidden in the invisible void.

A huge stone slab that appears to be dozens of meters in radius.

Perhaps the rock near the volcanic area was mined and used as a support for the Beecher.

“A powerful illusion was cast using the heat and haze of the volcanic region as a medium. If we use environmental conditions so exquisitely is it possible to hide our existence even from magical power detection?…”

Wheeoooo-

As I climb onto the stone slab the constant noise coming from inside the crater disappears and only the strange sound of the wind is heard.

Between the night sky above the clouds. Another huge tower was erected under the moonlight.

Although it is not as high as the five towers that exist inside the crater it is likely to be easily over the 5th floor.

Lennok entered the tower without hesitation.

As I passed through the empty first floor and walked up the spiral staircase I saw hundreds of books shelved on richly decorated bookshelves.

A cozy space made by smelting rare animal hides into carpets.

But even more than that what catches your eye is that the hundreds of books in this spacious library are all exuding a strong magical power.

‘The grimoire.’

Books that simply contain magical theory do not actually have much value among wizards.

Knowledge contained in books that have no power even though they are directly written and specified does not have much meaning in the end.

However it is not enough to cover truly high-level magic theory and a book that contains knowledge acquired through direct consideration and research is different.

A phenomenon in which the thoughts of the wizard who wrote the book are melted into one powerful artifact.

A type of magic artifact that becomes more famous or powerful than the author himself as time passes.

The only time even Lennok has seen it in person is at the auction house or Aris’ lab cartel’s executive safe.

Lennok approached the study as if fascinated took out a thick book that he could reach and exclaimed in admiration.

“A reward crafted with knowledge equivalent to that of a military rank… It’s worth keeping it separate and hidden.”

Lennok muttered that and quickly opened other books and immediately began reading them.

Basically the explanation is based on the assumption that the book is being read by a wizard of level 6 or higher who knows how to change the nature of magical power and there are also books that start explaining the theory assuming the development of the magnetic field as if it were obvious.

Although all of the theories discussed the application and development potential of the unique magic of the flame series Lennok had already completed the hierarchy in the lightning series with his own strength so it was not difficult to understand.

Rather I was just busy focusing on confirming the theories that were vague concepts in my head through books.

Of course if Lennok takes the time to consistently use and study flame-type magic and aspires to it in practice it may be a level he could reach someday.

What a valuable opportunity it is to be able to reduce that time and cost to just a few books.

Changes in the properties of flame-type magic are recorded and the precautions and abnormalities when casting unique magic are recorded leaving future generations with something to study.

This is the case of a wizard who failed to build a territory because his inner image of flame and lava was corrupted while living in a volcanic area for his entire life.

On the contrary it is a record of a great wizard who rose to the level of great wizard with the image of a formless flame in his mind.

This is all the knowledge that the old Lennoc desperately craved.

How did other wizards grow and what worries and hardships did they have to reach that level?

Items that may have filled the loneliness of Lennok who felt a faint kinship with the magicians he faced as enemies.

“….”

It’s so ironic.

When you really want something you can reach it only after reaching the level of things that were difficult to obtain and relieving some of the regret.

I wanted to keep turning the pages right there and cherish that time and emotion but… Lennok let go of his regret and got up.

A strange smell that had been spreading since I first entered the tower.

This was because a foul odor was felt beyond the study so strong that even Lennok’s sense of smell which could not even properly distinguish cigarette smoke could recognize it.

“Whoa….”

It’s too foreign to be a sign of life and it’s extremely clear to be anything but.

When I grabbed one corner of the study and pushed it the bookshelf rotated lightly revealing a hidden space beyond.

There were more than a dozen beds placed in a soft moonlit cell and someone was lying in every single one of them.

The sight of people just breathing slowly looking up at the ceiling with blank eyes.

Judging from the magical power they exude they seem to be wizards of a considerable level but most of them have lost their senses for a long time and their magic flow is tangled.

The people were of all ages and genders but there were some who wore particularly striking outfits.

Old men dressed in old-fashioned robes and muscular giants dressed in traveler’s clothing. They were probably members of the Senate and a delegation from the Machine City that had disappeared.

Most people lying unconscious lose an arm or a leg and teeth marks are clearly visible at the amputation site.

Lennok took a short breath as he realized what that meant.

“What’s going on here?”

A voice as cold as rolling ice was heard from behind me.

“….”

As I slowly turned my head I saw the figure of Zionis standing against the stairs with his arms crossed.

“All of the magic towers have been opened but we have never given permission to enter even the hidden secret places.”

After saying that Gionis picked up one of the books that Lennok had spread out on the floor and read through it.

“A consideration of the order of development of multiple chants regarding heat flow control… What a nostalgic title.”

“….”

“There was a time when I was absorbed in research and training while buried in these magic books.”

Gionis muttered.

“Everyone told me that it would be my new rosary and that I might one day inherit Master’s tower.”

He said that and chuckled as if he couldn’t stand it because he was so funny.

“I foolishly believed what he said.”

Lennok looked at Zionis blankly and then slowly turned his head.

“Is that also the reason why you have not been able to reach the state of complete sainthood?”

“….”

This time Zionis kept his mouth shut.

The sparring I had with him in the 3-dong Magic Tower practice area.

In the battle that ended at the same time as the opening of the new Mystical Eyes Lennok was aware that there were some immature aspects of Zionis’ magic.

Completing the hierarchy is proof that the wizard himself has completely mastered all the application methods of property change.

It is the same as the qualification to be able to project one’s own solid image there through changes in the properties of space.

However Zionis did not actually use any temper changes in his sparring with Lennok.

This is probably because Zionis himself cannot perfectly control the power of the change in nature.

This is by no means a phenomenon that can be seen by a wizard who has reached level 7 in a complete way.

The answer I can think of is probably….

“I’ve seen a few people who forced their own achievements through constraints or Geass.”

Lennok’s cool gaze fell on Zionis’ chest.

“But this is the first time I’ve seen a magician who forcibly raised his level in that way.”

“…under.”

Zionis let out a hot breath.

He took off his monocle with trembling hands and his left eye was completely faded unlike what was visible through the glasses.

“I trusted you Master.”

He spewed out words one after another as if he couldn’t bear it anymore as if his biggest shame had been revealed.

“Even when I hit a wall at the end of the military I strongly believed the advice to first set restrictions and get over the wall. But after a while I realized it.”

Clench your fists.

“Restrictions placed on oneself are only a privilege for monsters who challenge for ascension…. Putting shackles on hastily is tantamount to destroying the foundation for growth.”

“….”

“Thanks to you I lost my left eye and was reduced to God X unable to use magic unless near the Magic Tower. Not even a rosary candidate. “Master only thought of me as a bastard guarding the house!!!”

Was that the reason for Zionis’ strangely agitated attitude when Lennok opened the Mystic Eye in his left eye?

How did he feel when he looked at Lennok who had awakened new possibilities in the same eyes where he had lost the light forever?

Lennok who was staring at Zionis screaming without being able to control his emotions said.

“So you came into contact with Bokmajeon.”

“….”

Zionis stopped talking at Lennok’s words.

If you think about it it’s a simple thing.

Why were the members of Bokmajeon able to take control of the furnace so easily?

Why are other Senate members not showing up?

Where have the increasing number of missing people disappeared from the Magic Tower?

Aren’t there all answers here?

Lennok knows well from the example of the cartel that the security of the Magic Tower which has been around for hundreds of years is completely helpless against the blades stabbing from within.

All of these things that have happened so far are absurdly simple under one assumption.

Gionis Bergwijn joined hands with Pandemonium.

As he turned his head his eyes glowed eerily.

“I’m sorry. “I thought you could understand how I feel.”

“….”

“I was able to be sure after gathering information from the Balkan side. “If you know that the period when your activities ceased in the great city coincided with the period when Evelyn Marcia visited the Magic Tower… and that it is rare for there to be a person with a level of skill higher than a military wizard who can lend their strength to the agent.”

“hmm.”

“I didn’t know you had such deep knowledge of ice magic but I was convinced when I found this beast. The level of sensitivity is unmistakable. “Then there is only one correct answer.”

“It looks like you did a good job investigating the background.”

Lennok nodded obediently and acknowledged.

It was Evelyn’s idea to suggest hiding one’s identity just before visiting the Magic Tower.

Since he didn’t even change his magical power pattern it wasn’t unusual for him to be discovered at any time.

Zionis’ lips twitched at Lennok’s unfazed attitude.

“Well it’s okay… because it doesn’t matter who you are.”

Zionis spoke as he slowly spread his arms.

The grimoire he was holding in his hand fell badly to the floor.

“The important thing is that you are a wizard skilled enough to temporarily block the heat of the furnace. “That’s the only one.”

“….”

“Through the deal with Bokmajeon I got the opportunity to take off the bet that the master had placed on me. “They said that if I brought one item they could release the Geass that had been placed on me.”

Lennok frowned as he finally realized why Zionis had told him his situation.

“Damn it I can’t believe it’s a trading item….”

“okay.”

Zionis’ eyes shone sharply.

“With the centralization of all the capital and technology of the West Continent branch… I will regain my freedom in exchange for the most precious treasure of the Magic Tower.”
