Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 254



Remnants of Fanaticism (1)

Originally one bag was given to Evelyn but she thought about it and eventually gave the other bag to Lennok.

Since she can deal with both long and short range attacks with just a bow and a few arrows it would be like an embarrassment to her.

However since it was difficult to pass the gift on to other agents it was decided to leave it to Lennok who was in the same situation.

And of course Lennok had no intention of putting the gift he had just gotten into the warehouse and forgetting about it.

“It’s a rechargeable type… It’s clear that this method can greatly increase the firepower of firearms.”

It’s not like there weren’t rechargeable firearms even when Lennok was playing games as a demon musketeer.

However at that time most rechargeable firearms had strong firepower but had the disadvantage of low durability so they were not well received by horse musketeers.

At that time Lennok also did not feel much attraction to rechargeable firearms but now that he has acquired the talent of a wizard it is a completely different story.

Charging using horsepower. Durability wears out quickly.

These are all problems that can be easily solved from Lennok’s perspective.

Kwasik!!

Lennoc who unhesitatingly removed the butt of the shotgun muttered ambitiously.

“I’m going with a double barrel.”

[…Wouldn’t it be better to just leave it to Palmer?]

“The old man only brought a revolver because he felt too lazy to touch other firearms. Do you think you’ll do it?”

After tying the two barrels tightly together with magic thread the heat of magic extracted between the fingers is used to connect them together.

Chijijijijiji…!!

“I found all the information I needed on the deep web. “As long as you have the manual it’s not difficult to do it yourself.”

The heat rising as the barrels were joined brightened Lennok’s face.

“Let’s finish the renovation within half a day and focus on organizing and equipping the artifacts and grimoires we obtained during the remaining time.”

Even though I have walked this far since the day I escaped from the factory and first arrived in this city I feel that there is still a long way to go.

Because I know I can run farther because I realize I still have energy left.

Because I have not yet reached the point where I unleashed my talent before I even opened my eyes in this world.

Lennok still doesn’t stop.

As much as I desperately want it I have no choice but to cling try and struggle.

The light in the lab went off the next day after a full day of sleep.

“Baaaaan!!”

Lennok who saw Dylan shaking his hands wildly averted his gaze.

A mask and leather jacket resembling a professional wrestler with colorful patterns.

And all kinds of military weapons hanging from his back.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen his face but he doesn’t seem to have changed much on the outside.

“Hey hey!! “It’s been so long!”

Seeing Dylan making a fuss and fluttering around the other customers sitting at the bar began to look at him all at once.

Jenny was frightened by this and hit Dylan on the head with the shaker he was holding.

Wow!!

“Be quiet idiot. “What kind of bullshit are you doing in my workplace?”

“No but… How can you eat something like that while I’m away on a business trip?”

Even though Dylan was hit on the top of his head he got up and started protesting hard.

“Belver this bastard and Belita are going around bragging to the neighborhood about how they got a lot of money from the cartel. I can’t stand it!!”

“….”

Although this is a very misleading statement it is not so wrong in the grand scheme of things.

Last time Lennok and Jenny paid Belver and Belita a lot of money when they borrowed manpower from the Antares mercenary office.

Since the expenses are handled within the scope of tax deductibility anyway there is no burden and since both people’s names are included in the company it kills two birds with one stone.

It wasn’t that difficult since we had officially established a cooperative relationship with the Antares office.

“Whew… it was my mistake. “No matter what happened I should have caught the scraps that fell next to my class.”

Naturally he ordered a bottle of whiskey for Jordan poured it into a glass and muttered.

Jenny said while shaking her head.

“Is this a mercenary or a parasite?”

“A parasite! Is there a partner who has been working with Van for as long as me? “I’m much better than the clever Belita and the money-ghost Belver.”

After saying that he took out the sword he was carrying on his back and began stroking it carefully.

“Look carefully Jenny. This is a token of trust that Van gave me as a gift. Do you have anything like this? “No?”

“Crazy guy….”

The strange tension made Jenny look horrified and avoid conversation.

However Lennok slightly tilted his head when he saw the shape of the sword Dylan was holding.

“Dylan. “I think the sword’s appearance has changed a bit.”

If we refer to the sword that Lennok gave Dylan as a gift it probably refers to the blood-red greatsword held by Irina Pesfield the leader of the Arashak Exploration Team.

I remember it as one of the relics of the Guido Church characterized by a strangely thick sword body and bulging blood vessels.

However the black sword body that Dylan is currently holding is the same as the bright red blood color but it has maintained a thin and elongated sword body and its surface has also become smooth.

“Hahahaha!!”

“…”

In the end Lennok was able to have a proper conversation with Dylan only after ordering about ten more bottles of whiskey and pouring them into his mouth.

“I’ve been to the North.”

Dylan tilted his head slightly and said while shaking the glass in his hand.

“Well it’s no use hiding it now but… I’m from the Guido Church. To be precise it was one of the test subjects being cultured there.”

“….”

There was silence.

Of course I had some guesses but I never thought Dylan would open up about his past so freely.

Dylan who casually told me about what he had experienced shook his head.

“I survived for quite a long time and with the approval of church officials I was implanted with a biometric code that allowed me to use the church’s items. “It’s thanks to that that I can use this knife.”

Although Irina Fesfield demonstrated tremendous fighting power with that blood-red greatsword she was also supplying the greatsword with an enormous amount of blood and pain.

There was a deeper reason than expected for Dylan not being exposed to the sword’s side effects.

“I didn’t know I would get my hands on something like this while helping you but I got it anyway so shouldn’t I figure out a way to use it? So I infiltrated the branch of the North Continent church that I knew and gave some advice to the officials there.”

Was there a reason why Lennok stayed on a business trip for a long time even after returning to the Dominion?

To put it mildly it was as if I had really made up my mind and had invested the time to go all the way to the North Continent.

“It seems like it paid off.”

The fact that the shape of the sword body has changed significantly is proof that Dylan knew how to handle the sword.

“yes. Actually my body is different from other people’s so I had some difficulty understanding the achievements I had made. “I should say that there has been definite progress in that regard while dealing with this guy.”

Dylan grinned.

“I personally beat up the priests there so it wasn’t a bad thing.”

“Are you blaming the church?”

Lennok asked.

Lennok also knows very well what kind of place the Guido Church is.

It’s not simply because I’ve become accustomed to this world.

This is because the Guido Cult was a powerful group of fanatics that existed in WORLD 2.0 a game that Lennok enjoyed.

It is unknown why an organization that was quite infamous and boasted of bizarre spirituality even in the game at the time exists in this world.

However fanatics who treat human life like an object would not have made a reformation in the meantime.

Dylan who had been silent answered.

“Do you know what the cult worships?”

“….”

“They are psychopaths who believe that the monsters of the open sea are gods and that they will take them to paradise.”

This is a fact that was not known in WORLD 2.0. Did they who were only known to worship an unknown god now have a specific object of worship?

“Resentment…. Resentment? I’m not sure. “I think it would be much more accurate to say it’s disgust.”

“Disgust….”

“I don’t want to get involved and I have no intention of getting involved but if I see them I want to kill them all… That’s it. “I’m not the type of person to focus on something grand like revenge…”

Dylan tried to laugh it off by saying that but Lennok was able to read other emotions behind his sour reaction.

How much pain and sacrifice did he experience before escaping from living as a cult experiment and living as a mercenary in the Balkans?

At least the Dylan that Lennok knew was never a person who would forget the tears and blood shed in the process.

“…Let’s stop talking about useless things. So why did you call me after such a long time?”

Dylan’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

“Have you received such a huge request that you need me? “Please tell me quickly where you plan to rob me.”

“platform.”

Lennok answered.

Dylan silently blinked his eyes through his mask.

“I need information about the Guido Church. “I want your help.”

There is still a lot of work to be done but at the same time Lennok has not forgotten the conversation he had with Agneta.

A message left by the leader of Pandemonium to Lennok.

Did I say that if you are looking for the magic of time you should follow the trail of the church?

In order to gather information about the church it would be most accurate to hear about its activities from the mouth of Dylan who was an official.

What Lennok wanted was right there.

“Assistant Professor Evan?”

Lennok who had been lost in his thoughts suddenly raised his head when he heard a voice calling him.

Labatenon College of Magic. Department of Elemental Studies Lecture Building 3.

A classroom filled with sunlight. Priscilla who was sitting in the front row was looking at Lennok with a puzzled expression.

“…I’m sorry. Let’s continue our classes.”

As Lennok said that he naturally looked away.

My first day back at work as an assistant professor.

Lennok was still giving a lecture on elemental science to the students on behalf of Aris who was away.

Normally a person of the caliber of a chair professor should not be absent for such a long time but no one complained about Lennok lecturing in his place.

Perhaps that’s because there are a lot of rumors going around inside the university that Aris Richelen has completed the hierarchy.

Even in the Sinclair Magic Tower no one knew what it meant that Aris who was one of the best in terms of talent had risen to level 7.

“Let me explain once again the compatibility between properties…”

‘That’s difficult.’

Even while he was drawing pictures by projecting magic onto the blackboard Lennok realized that his teaching talent was not that great.

If you mix in Lennok’s tips appropriately it is not difficult to instill theory in undergraduate students without losing their interest.

It is impossible to cultivate the skills of undergraduate students as wizards in the same way as Aris.

To be precise it was difficult to estimate how much the students would be able to understand and apply theory to practice in this one class.

After looking at the old Lenokya theory it was possible to immediately apply it to battle but I think it would be a burdensome task for other undergraduate students.

In the end it means that you need to increase understanding and memorize to a certain extent through multiple repetitions and diversified perspectives… To be honest it requires patience rather than interest and enjoyment.

The reason Aris was able to provide such high-quality lectures to other undergraduate students was probably because she was so interested in education and treated her students with sincerity.

“….”

After the short lecture Lennok who was left alone in the empty classroom gathered up his class materials and stood up.

It’s been a while since I stopped by the university and there was a lot of work to do.

We need to organize the research materials and papers Aris left behind and assign assignments to undergraduate students according to the curriculum she created.

It’s ironic.

In fact even though Lennok himself has more than one thing to take care of he still makes time to act like an assistant professor.

What is the reason for insisting on this identity even now that Yangji’s identity created by Aris has no longer had much meaning?

That’s probably because Lennok also doesn’t want to let go of this chance connection.

As much as the favor that Aris gave to Lennok Lennok also cherishes her as a person.

Even by investing this much time and effort they are trying to remain in college.

“I think I should receive more incentives….”

I don’t think it will come back.

Because she valued herself as an educator and researcher more than as a wizard of the Magic Tower.

If she has the qualifications to carry out her will she will definitely try to return to this position someday.

All Lennok had to do was wait and fill the void as appropriate.

“Hmm hmm….”

At that moment someone started clearing their throat behind Lennok.

At the classroom door a young man with unkempt hair was standing with a shy expression.

“…Archwood?”

“Oh it’s been a while since I’ve seen you at school.”

He slowly walked into the classroom shaking.

He looked around nervously then approached and whispered.

“I came here because I had something to tell you about the work you asked me to do.”
