Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 253

Interference(4)
Tatiana Chiglett the witch of saturation.
When I saw him in the newspaper he seemed like a wizard with the worst personality suffering from suspicions of excessive cruelty and harm to civilians but when I saw him in person I found out that he was not that indifferent or arrogant.
However he looked particularly tired perhaps because he had been called in from handling work at the front line not long ago.
Fortunately as soon as Tatiana arrived order was instantly restored to the Magic Tower.
Perhaps because she was known to have a very violent personality not only other magicians but even the senators who came to their senses late began to calmly follow her guidance and take care of things.
Find and collect the collapsed remains of Beecher’s Slab and retrieve the grimoire and artifacts that Zionis tried to steal.
In addition her resourcefulness in simultaneously repairing the furnace that he had deliberately damaged was remarkable even to Lennok.
“oh! Hey stop for a moment. That’s different from what I was asking earlier. “What product is it?”
Plus conversational skills at a level where there is no sense of distance.
It was clear that he was an unusual person in many ways.
“…It’s custom-made.”
“Eh… then I can’t help it. “It’s a hassle to go to a big city and make cigarettes…”
She said that with a sullen expression and then turned her head towards Evelyn.
“Can you buy me some?”
“shut up.”
“….”
It was the first time I had seen Evelyn who had a slightly harsh side speak in such a way.
Tatiana paid no heed to such harsh retorts and concentrated on squatting and smoking a cigarette.
“Ha… It’s annoying to see Gionis clean up the poop but it’s not that bad. “There are a lot of things that are more frustrating on the front line.”
“Is the Central Front still like that?”
“Well that’s right.”
Tatiana answered indifferently.
“The old men in the Senate here are relegated so they can at least make sense but they are completely blinded by money.”
The magic tower’s magic power is not being concentrated on the central front for no reason.
Twenty years have passed since the central city of Arsnova which occupied the fertile granary region in the center of the continent fell due to war.

The fight over the heritage and resources of the richest city in the continent’s history is far from over.
As street battles and artillery battles took place alternately in the huge city where 20 million people lived the city turned into hell and is now only called the Central Front.
There are just as many people trying to borrow the power of the Magic Tower as there are those aiming for the wealth of the central computer system.
It was impossible for huge powers like the Magic Tower to ignore that whirlpool of desire.
She swept up her red hair and spoke as smoke trickled down her face.
“This is still under embargo but one prayer beads is dead.”
“….”
“I am not in the direct lineage of the teacher but in the collateral lineage so the training was completed quickly but… will other ordinary wizards accept this?”
A dark smile appeared on Tatiana’s lips.
“We’re all going crazy together… I thought it would only end if someone died but seeing this mess even though the rosary is dead it won’t be long.”
Even Lennok who knew nothing could guess the harm caused by the dark emotions that oozed from every word.
With a reputation like hers she must really be a veteran who survived countless hardships but does war make people this tired and difficult?
Lennok quietly looked down at the top of her head with an interested gaze then bent his knees in front of her and made eye contact.
“If it’s that hard shouldn’t I just leave the magic tower?”
“Hehe you little brat speaks easily.”
Tatiana giggled.
“Then what do I eat for a living you bastard?”
“I’ll hire you.”
“…?”
Lennok took out a cigarette and a business card from his arms and handed them to her.
Evelyn looked at that and asked with an absurd expression.
“What are you doing now…?”
“I run a company. Talented people are always welcome.”
After experiencing what happened at the Magic Tower Lennok’s thoughts became clearer.
Whether it’s the Blue Eye or the Pandemonium it doesn’t mean much to Lennok.
What is important is a force strong enough to carry out Lennok’s thoughts and a force that can properly support that power.
In that case it wouldn’t be a bad idea to leave a message in advance to the talented people you are interested in.
Tatiana looked at Lennog blankly then tilted her head crookedly and asked.
“Buy your liver too. “Are all the magicians who make a fuss in the Balkans like this?”
“….”
When Lennok didn’t answer Tatiana chuckled and accepted the business card and cigarettes that Lennok gave her.
She lit it by snapping her fingers in the same way Lennok did took a deep sip and laughed.
“The taste of acting is acceptable. No it’s more than enough…”
“I promise to provide it for free if you join the company.”
“Puhahaha!!”
At that nonchalant response Tatiana burst out laughing and stood up.
“Evelyn you’re working with a pretty interesting guy.”

Her expression which had a dark complexion was faintly alive.
“Well I’ll remember that. “I will come to you later when I become unemployed so just know that.”
She touched Lennok’s chest and immediately turned her back on him.
Lennok silently touched the chest she had touched.
“….”
The location where the red booklet in Zionis’ hand was stored.
Although she passed it off as a joke Tatiana also seemed to have a general idea of how much this item was worth.
Well it has to be that way.
Geonis imprinted an image into the magnetic realm in return for placing various Geass conditions and restrictions on himself and when developing the realm he directly summoned this object and performed the spell.
It was something he had been eyeing since then but once Lennok got his hands on this booklet he was able to get a rough idea of what abilities this booklet had.
It is not an item used to simply increase or assist the power of a spell.
An item that greatly accelerates the development speed of spells only for flame-type spells.
Considering that Geonis used this artifact when developing a domain it would seem that the same ability applies when developing a magnetic domain.
There is no need to say how much value an artifact that is effective for an Aspect Wizard has.
Tatiana decided to hand over these items to Lennok as compensation and silence for this incident.
‘If we study the principles of artifacts it may be possible to drastically reduce the time it takes to develop the magnetic field.’
What if Lennoc modifies it with an artifact that affects the speed of the spell’s development regardless of its attributes…
“Whatever I’m leaving now. “If you have anything left to do come to the Magic Tower.”
She waved her hand and headed towards the magic tower first and Lennok belatedly grabbed his leg and stood up.
“hmm….”
Just by straightening my back a groan comes out.
Perhaps because I had been through an intense battle I felt like my joints were having a lot of trouble.
From what I heard before it was said that joints cannot be regenerated or trained… Lennok who quickly put away the ominous thoughts turned his gaze towards Evelyn.
An agreement has already been reached with Evelyn on how to proceed with this incident.
Evelyn and the agents decided to stay a little longer and help restore the magic tower but Lennok decided to go back first to supply potions needed for the business.
“Let’s quickly clean up and go back….”
“….”
Evelyn was slowly turning her head with her arms crossed.
Lennok let out a small sigh at the obvious refusal to talk.
Lennok who was rummaging around in her arms gently placed a cigarette in her hand.
“If you wanted to smoke you shouldn’t have told me honestly.”
“….”
Ttuduk!
Evelyn who was looking at Lennok with a puzzled expression wordlessly broke the tobacco in half.
“That’s not it.”
“Then what is it?”
“Why didn’t you tell Tatiana that you were going to scout her?”
Lennok was speechless.
Evelyn added belatedly as if making an excuse.
“…It means that there is an order. You didn’t even tell me that you created a company right? “I’ve never even received a business card.”
“If you want to join our company do you really need a business card? Jenny will be very happy.”
“Of course… I don’t mean that but when it comes to recruiting a high-ranking magician as an external advisor and partner… no that’s not enough.”
Evelyn was rambling as if her thoughts were wandering then shook her head and pursed her lips.
“Tatiana may have bad rumors but at least she is a much more capable and good person than that. “It’s a time when thoughts are complicated so wouldn’t it be better not to be swayed for no reason?”
“…good. That was definitely hasty on my part.”
Lennok finally sighed and nodded.
When Evelyn finally turned her back with a relieved expression Lennok continued.
“But the reason I didn’t offer you a job isn’t necessarily because of the agent’s job.”
“What do you mean?”
“If you take out a member from an organization that is already short on manpower you won’t be criticized by Lapis.”
“By the way I just said something.”
Evelyn chuckled.
“Lapis has a nagging personality like that in the first place…”
Evelyn who belatedly realized the meaning of what Lennok had said slowly turned her shaky head.
Lennok was staring at her in silence with a calm expression.
Although he thought about it for a long time Lennok made a decision.
After this incident is over I may not have to meet Evelyn in person for a while.
So I had to give the word in advance before it was too late.
Since she had saved that person’s life once she was entitled to know what direction the freelancer named Van she saved was taking.
Even if it doesn’t fully show who Lennok is.
Green eyes shake violently.
The two people stared at each other for a while as the hot wind blew from below.
* * *
“I feel relieved.”
[If you’re going to worry that much you should have told me earlier.]
The day after I finished my short journey at the Magic Tower.
Lennok returned to his new home and lay down lost in thought.
This is already the third time I have taken the medicine prepared by Yaksun.
Now I don’t mind the temporary change in my body’s senses.
With the feeling of turning my knees I took out the tobacco in my arms and moved my fingers to raise my elbows.
Put the tobacco in your mouth light it and inhale the smoke deeply feeling the pressure in your stomach.
Dabi who could not be seen this time crouched down in the toad nest and looked down at Lennok.
Lennok muttered.
“Until now we couldn’t tell whether Evelyn was truly a member of the Qing Dynasty. Since you responded to Lapis’ name I had no choice but to give you a hint in advance…”
No matter how well Lennok hides his three identities there is bound to be a limit to his ability to create an alibi.
No matter how perfect the disguise magic and magic pattern are it would be impossible for Evan and Van to exist in the same place at the same time.
Even if he could create an alter ego how would he be able to avoid finding out about it from Evelyn?
In Cheong’s eyes if he had to work with Evelyn as Evan even wasting his nerve in keeping the secret from her would be a useless waste.
It would be better to talk about it in advance and avoid any troublesome issues that might arise between the megacity and the autonomous territory.
[Wouldn’t it be dangerous?]
“As long as my identity as Lennok is not discovered… I can take risks at any time. “What is needed is trust not suspicion.”
Lennok looked up at the ceiling blowing out a cloud of smoke.
The presence of the house above suddenly became empty.
When Evelyn spent more time at the Magic Tower than expected she simply hired a company to act as acting director.
It may have been possible because the moving preparations had been made in advance but it was natural that the worries that had been put on without knowing when Evelyn would find out felt like a waste.
I can’t deny that I sometimes feel skeptical about how long I can live wearing a mask like this.
It was clear that now was not the time to stop worrying about it.
“…good.”
As soon as the medicine took effect and his body’s senses returned to normal Lennok stood up energetically.
Even if Evelyn has moved away there is still a lot of work left for Lennok to do.
Now that she was finally gone I felt like I could finally set up a separate laboratory in my new home.
Choose the largest room in the house wallpaper the walls with magic blocking material cover the walls floor and ceiling with solid iron plates and draw a sealing ceremony.
By applying not only various security magics that were part of the common magic but also the barrier magic with increased understanding through the liberation magic and the main world spell we thoroughly prevented the internal magic from leaking to the outside.
Finally I prepared a study room to store the research materials I had stored and put them in and pushed the workbench and potion making table into both corners of the room and it was roughly finished.
Dabi who was floating above Lennok’s head and watching all the work said.
[There is a lot of work to be done.]
“It’s like a mountain.”
Organizing and theorizing the realization of the moment when the magnetic field of the flame series was observed and manipulated.
We need to record and document our proficiency in freezing-type magic and additionally collect papers on the changing effects of the magical eye.
In addition while emptying the Vulcan you need to craft the potions whose supply was delayed and hand them over to Jenny.
I should retrieve the revolver that I had left to Palmer to custom-make and contact Aris to inquire about the work of an assistant professor.
Don’t forget to stop by the cartel’s executive safe and search for necessary items.
The magic training I have gained is to the point where my body is no longer alive and external events are also going on incessantly to the extent that I can never ignore them.
I thought he was focused on surviving alone but even so his relationships with the people who gathered around Lennok became immeasurably complicated.
There are a lot of things I want to do and things to worry about but I have no choice but to deal with them step by step starting with what I can.
“Let’s take care of this first.”
Wow!!
What fell on the workbench with a heavy sound was an item that Mouser had left behind as a gift and token of farewell on his way out.
Two rechargeable shotguns with impressive sleek navy blue barrels were shining softly.
