Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 286



Meaning of message (1)

“Outside… is there a lot of damage?”

Lennok who was weakly walking with his arm on Su-ryeon’s shoulder asked.

Su-ryeon answered with a stiff face.

“That’s nonsense. “The downtown area in the center of the fortress was completely reduced to ashes.”

“….”

“Thanks to your advance warning we were able to save all those who had not yet escaped but the castle residents and the remaining family members are working hard to extinguish the fire.”

“…I see.”

Lennok who had a rough idea of ​​what method Walter would use in the end asked others to take care of the matter in advance.

Battle of the level 7 Aspect Wizard. If it were a series of battles against the bishop of the Guido Church and the heads of the eight families it would be impossible to prevent the aftermath from spreading in all directions.

In that case it was decided that it would be better to take care of the surrounding area before expanding the area.

“The psychopaths Chen and Manson are also helping now. “Once you and Asui escape I plan to isolate this entire section.”

As soon as you realize that the black flame is not going out easily do you plan to set up a section and wait for the fire to go out?

Considering the assets that would be left in the downtown area it was indeed a bold decision but Lennok nodded knowing that Su-ryeon’s judgment was correct.

It is impossible for even Lennok to predict how long the fire in the heart that burned the image will continue to burn.

Rather it would have been preferable to minimize damage by examining the nature slowly over a period of time.

“Anyway this disaster is at an absolutely ridiculous level… I can’t believe that a mere human could do something like this. Is this how the battle between monsters who have completed the hierarchy is like this?”

Suryun who was supporting Lennok looked around and muttered with a stiff expression.

A curtain of black flame burning as high and fierce as a high-rise building.

Even though the damage has not yet reached this point the heat alone is enough to make my whole body feel hot.

At her words Asui shook her head with a frightened expression.

“Not all Aspect Wizards can cause disasters like this. “It’s just that Ban has incredible power.”

“….”

“It is impossible to believe that he single-handedly destroyed the power of the Ibon family and even subjugated the church’s bishop… If this incident becomes known to the outside world it will be impossible to even determine the truth.”

“…Something unexpected just happened mixed with the bishop’s power.”

Lennok who felt that the evaluation of the two people was rapidly rising slowly changed his stance.

“Can’t you see that I couldn’t fully control it with my magic in the first place?”

“Do we have to rise to this level and look down on the world in order to deal with the bishops of the denomination? “There is still a long way to go.”

“Everyone will have to work hard to protect the fortress. “I will work hard.”

“….”

Lennok silently kept his mouth shut in response to his indifferent response.

Immediately afterwards a large shadow appeared from across the street immediately embracing the three people and beginning to clear the way.

Lennok raised his head at the familiar lingering scent of magical power.

“This magic power….”

“It looks like the Samyoung family has opened its eyes. “As soon as he came to his senses he came to help us…”

Suryun smiled lifted Lennok’s shoulder and said.

“It looks like we didn’t choose the wrong lender.”

* * *

The black flame that burned down Yvonne’s home burned down for one more night and then disappeared.

This is because Oren who took over the authority of the lender transformed the outer barrier of the fortress and focused on isolating the flames in the center.

The fact that it had enough strength and durability to contain the flames caused by the Black Sea Shinrak but was also free from deformation to this degree was clearly of a different class to the barrier that the Ascendant had directly touched.

If we were to compare it at that level it could be compared to the barrier hung on the lighthouse that the Blue Eye uses as its headquarters.

It would be a lie to say that the city council’s refusal to hastily invade the territory of the Palgwang Fortress did not come into play due to the power of the barrier manipulated by the lender’s authority.

“….”

Lennok who had bandages all over his body quietly looked out the window and turned his head.

Even though the proxy war was over and the Samyeong family was newly crowned as the owner of the castle the atmosphere inside the fortress was not very bright.

As a result among the three families that boasted the most power in the Palgwangseong Fortress two families Ilwon and Yvonne were completely cut off.

The shock of the truth that Ilwon even committed suicide by giving his family members as food to the cult while Yvonne joined hands with the cult and attempted to sacrifice the entire fortress as human sacrifice was enormous.

If it were not for the actions of the Samyeong family at the end of the proxy war it would not have been surprising if an irreversible rift occurred between the eight families and the residents of the fortress.

It was clear who was responsible for preventing the disaster known as the Advent of the Apostles and preventing the collapse of the Palgoong Fortress.

“So there will be no rebuilding Ilwon and Yvonne.”

“The Eight-Hanged Fortress will be renamed the Hexagonal Fortress and will continue to exist. “There will be quite a bit of external intervention in the process.”

Chen who was standing behind Lennok answered.

He was quietly watching what Lennok was doing with his arms crossed.

“If you think about what goes on outside the city Baguong City Hall will probably be lowered from the position of the Three Heads.”

Chen who had been wandering around the underbelly of the Balkans and trying to start a business would know more about the recent state of affairs in megacities than Lennok.

Chen continued without waiting for Lennok’s answer.

“It’s not surprising. “It was difficult to know the actual situation because it was isolated from the outside world and the power of the fortress itself had been deteriorating for a long time… Oren would have guessed that as well.”

The power and status of the collapsing fortress. Could it be said that the family’s struggles were also a struggle to not fall behind?

“It’s going to be noisy outside again.”

It is natural that the back alleys of the Balkans will be in turmoil surrounding the Palgwang Fortress which came down from the seat of the Three Heads and the newly vacant position of the leader of the shadows.

Chen laughed at Lennok’s muttering.

“It’s always like that. “Just because one problem is solved doesn’t always lead to a happy ending for everyone.”

“….”

“Rather harsher times than now await Oren and the residents of the fortress. Compared to the power of the fortress the privileges they have are too many and there are probably more than one person who is dissatisfied with that fact.”

The three giants who reign in the shadows of the Balkans. The title of Three Heads is not just a grandiose nameplate.

Instead of managing and controlling nearby commercial districts and taking responsibility for the safety of residents they maintain the size and manpower of the organization by collecting hidden taxes.

This series of transactions alone maximizes the influence of an organization in its immediate vicinity and the status among other organizations gradually widens.

In this world even such notoriety is a form of power and qualification.

It is obvious how far the secret struggle will spread between those who want to tear down the fortress that is giving up such authority and those who are trying to rise to the top of the shadowy world.

In the process if the powerful people in the organization who were holding their breath start to use their power the streets will quickly turn into a mess.

But Lennok even though he clearly guessed that fact nodded grimly.

“I see. Oren will take care of it.”

Of course I have no intention of putting in that much effort to build the fortress.

It would have been impossible to be involved with the Palgwangseong Fortress if the historical site had not been discovered in the process of tracing the traces of the Guido Church.

Just by killing missionary Walter and preventing the advent of the Apostles Lennok had done more than he could.

Rather from now on it was a pure fortress affair with no room for Lennok to interfere.

Chen burst out laughing as if he had expected Lennok’s reaction.

“Hahaha!! I thought so. “If you’re someone who is as neat about making and breaking things as you are you probably won’t want to spend any more time here.”

“….”

“But I decided not to pass by any more.”

“what?”

Only then did Lennok turn his head and look at Chen’s face.

“A business I decided to do with my friends. “I plan to set up the company here.”

Chen answered.

“Thanks to being with you my status within the fortress has increased significantly. I received a promise from Oren that if I did business here I would be given various privileges and even tax exemptions. “There are still quite a few well-trained warriors left in the fortress so for me I have established a pretty good business foundation.”

“….”

“This is a problem you don’t need to worry about as you have a resourceful broker named Jenny as your manager but there are some troubling issues for me who is thinking of getting involved in this situation.”

He said that and smiled and crossed his arms.

“I plan to take care of various things while solving the fortress’s problems little by little. “If all goes well it will be of a size comparable to that of most mid-sized companies.”

“I see.”

When Lennok nodded Chen quietly took out a business card from his pocket.

“So what I’m saying is are you interested in investing in us?”

“….”

“It will start out similarly to the manpower center but ultimately we plan to move towards construction or facility management where the labor of magic users can be used most efficiently. In particular the method of collecting fees in return for restoring and managing ruins that have collapsed in shaded areas is extremely efficient….”

Lennok who was looking at Chen who had gone from a trustworthy colleague to a businessman in an instant laughed.

Even if it were something grand like that Chen who always took care of himself would not throw himself into a business that would fail.

If you want to maintain not only your relationship with Chen but also the relationship with the castle it wouldn’t be a bad idea to own some shares of his company.

“I guess I know roughly what you want.”

“…really?”

“okay. “I will give you an appropriate answer soon so just wait.”

The extent of Lennok’s contribution to the survival of the Eight Roar Fortress this time is incomparable even if you include all the people in the fortress.

At a moment when the others were suffering from injuries and trying to understand the situation he stormed into Yvonne’s home alone and came out after finishing the job.

In the process he even stopped Walter’s original goal the coming of the Apostles so it was obvious what that fact would mean to those who knew the inside story.

After hearing about all that had happened Oren also decided to pay a suitable price to keep Lennok in the castle.

Thanks to this Lennok succeeded in taking over the site of the Yvonga which he had burned down with his own hands the mansion owned by the Ilwon family and even the authority to manage the historical sites within it.

Now even in a castle that has been reduced to a six-sided castle it is virtually the same as becoming the owner of a new unrecognized family.

They burned the remaining property of the Ilwon family and the body of the apostle and even received the remaining part of the shell so the compensation was more than enough.

Perhaps the ‘investment’ Chen wants is to rent the land where Yvonne’s ruined mansion used to be in exchange for a share.

There was no immediate need for Lennok’s property or in kind and there was nothing he couldn’t do if he was just asking for a loan of the land he had acquired for free.

“….”

After sending off Chen who waved his hand with a bright complexion Lennok immediately walked towards the main house of the Ilwon Family Mansion.

After this incident more than ten people including heads of eight families came to visit Lennok and Chen was the last of them.

Manson felt that the castle was too stuffy and escaped outside with the permission of the landlord.

But Lennok still had work to do within the fortress.

The secret of the historical site that Walter had longed for. A faint crack carved into a closed world.

Because there was one more opportunity left for Lennok in the Beecher owned by the Ilwon family.

* * *

The deepest part of the three-story Ilwon family residence.

As you walk along the dark hallway hidden behind the bathroom mirror a meadow spread out in a room with faint sunlight comes into view.

A historic site protected within a golden barrier. A worn-out coffin was lying at an angle among the lightly covered bushes.

The inside of the coffin is empty but it is filled with names written in unknown characters.

Lennok casually passed through the golden barrier and walked into the ruins.

The barrier had already been opened through Oren.

From the moment you enter the ruins you can feel time passing slowly in your body.

“hmm….”

The body moving slowly as if moving in water slowly settled down on the grass.

Lennok had already become familiar with the phenomenon occurring at this historic site through several experiences.

The speed of thought is still the same as in this world but the body is actually being influenced by another space.

To be precise the influence of a world line that has already disappeared.

“….”

Lennok looked around with sharp eyes and slowly activated his magic power.

Unlike the body which moves infinitely slowly the magic power itself spreads everywhere at a speed that is neither very slow nor normal.

That’s probably because the magician’s power source itself is a power that is influenced by both the body and the mind.

With his magic spreading throughout the ruins Lennok closed his eyes and focused.

Ugh!

The magical power sense developed to the limit becomes sensitive enough to read even a single dust particle moving within the ruins.

Lennok maintained his concentration for dozens of minutes concentrating on identifying and interpreting the space of the historic site.

Charalalak!!

We do not attach much significance to the characters written on the coffin and the existence of the coffin itself which cannot be immediately interpreted.

What is important is that this space is the space and time of an old world that has now disappeared.

If this scene must be a trace of WOLRD 1.0 and 2.0 that Lennok knows

Between the world lines there will be a gap that Lennox can read.

‘Now I can understand the meaning of the message.’

A message left by the leader of the Pandemonium to Lennok. Did you say that if you search for the Secretariat of the Guido Church you will be able to find the answer to the magic of time?

The true meaning of those words was not that the unique magic of the time series was hidden in this secret place.

‘Wilter said that the very existence of this historic site is a crack in a closed world.’

Therefore this historical site serves as a communication channel through which signals can be sent to the open sea and the power of the apocalypse floating in the sea of ​​darkness can be directly received.

The Guido denomination was using these historical sites as consumables to awaken missionaries as apostles of the end times.

However this is not the only way to exploit the cracks that have occurred in this world.

Cracks in the world. To put it the other way around it meant that it was an opportunity to get a glimpse of the composition of a cross-section of the world through the crack.

It is like the act of peeking into the component composition of a machine through a damaged part.

Only local and cross-sectional observation is possible and truly understanding its structure is a long way off.

Even so we can get a glimpse into what parts make up the machine called the world.

‘The operating principle of time and space in this world is compared with the space and time of the old world to identify the gap and make relative measurements possible. To put it another way…’

This meant that specific actual measurement data on the time and space system were in Lennok’s hands.

Lennok’s eyes shone sharply.

‘It means that we have obtained the most basic data to create space-time magic.’
