Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 331



Sokdae (1)

The day after I met Aris.

Lennok took care of the backlog of errands one by one.

Plans that were originally postponed after receiving a call from Aris.

I had prepared to give her a lot of explanation about this incident and had set aside my schedule but things don’t always work out the way I want them to.

“….”

Although he was slightly surprised by Aris’ decision Lennok did not worry too much.

Aris Richelen whom Lennok had seen so far was a person who was well aware of the weight of his duties and responsibilities.

If such a person were to leave his professorship for a while and return to the Magic Tower it would definitely be for a good reason.

If it was just postponed and not finished Lennok could have waited. Aris had been waiting for his answer for much longer.

“Potion production is finished review of business plan for strengthening alchemy laboratory approval for share transfer… What else is there Dabi?”

[Review of laboratory relocation plan replenishment of used medicines and production of spares at the beginning of the year. Equipment maintenance remains.]

Dabi who is rolling around in the toad nest can fulfill the role of scheduler without any special orders from Lennok.

Lennok sitting at the workbench leaned back and was lost in thought.

“Considering the schedule it would be impossible to move right away and I already ordered the medicine. Even if it is possible to produce it at the beginning of the year anywhere….”

[Where are you going?]

“A rechargeable shotgun that I entrusted to Palmer for modification. “I’ll have to take it slowly.”

As you become more proficient in alchemy combining medicinal ingredients to make tobacco is no longer difficult even on your own.

It is difficult to say that we have found a prototype that is perfect for Lennok but we have succeeded in reproducing an effect similar to that of a commercially available product.

There wasn’t much left to do.

Go straight to Palmer’s workshop and watch the shotgun he is working on being completed.

Although he grumbled he faithfully assembled the parts of the shotgun that Lennoch had carved out himself and completed it.

“Where on earth did you get these ingredients?”

Wow!!

The rechargeable shotgun placed on the workbench gives off a completely different feeling of weight than before.

“It’s surprisingly strong for something that isn’t metal but it’s also crazy heavy. “You’re crazy to think that you would use this kind of material as a shotgun part.”

“Isn’t it inevitable?”

As Lennok laughed and lifted the shotgun with one hand Palmer’s expression changed strangely.

“The only way to increase power without going through a complicated process is to increase the durability of the gun itself.”

“Hmph the power of that shotgun is already complete. How do you increase the firepower there?”

“It is not difficult. “It causes a backlash by changing the nature of the magic power three separate times.”

Slam!!

He picks up a rechargeable shotgun that has been lifted with a lightening spell and infuses magic power into it.

Weeeeeee!!

Inside the shotgun’s barrel three different magical forces began rotating simultaneously.

“It is difficult to perfectly control the direction and it is not very efficient but if you just force it in the direction the muzzle is pointed…”

Coo coo coo coo!!

At that moment the air inside the workshop begins to swirl and rotate around the shotgun containing Lennok.

Unidentifiable equipment that was hanging on the wall fell to the ground in the rainwater and the window frame shook and fluttered as if it would break.

Palmer nodded with a thoughtful look on his face.

“Oh I understand. Okay stop it you crazy idiot!!”

“It is entirely possible as long as the gun barrel and cylinder are strong enough to withstand the impact.”

As Lennok said that and instantly dissipated his magic power Palmer shook his head and sat down in his chair.

“If you want that kind of power why don’t you just carry a cannon?”

“It’s not that I haven’t thought about it but the point is that it needs to be constantly worked on. In that respect I also quite like this shotgun.”

Lennok who cast a shrinking spell and stored the shotgun in his sleeve laughed.

“The efficiency of the rechargeable device itself is quite excellent and there is a lot of room for use depending on the user’s capabilities. “It is an item that deserves to be called a special product from the Machine City.”

“…okay. Okay let’s go. “I will estimate the bill and send it to you.”

Palmer gestured with a weary look on his face.

Lennok then purchased various equipment from Palmer’s workshop such as a camping kit for wire and a dagger that could be stored on the wrist and left.

Following Lapis’ summons the destination we must now head to is the snowy plains of the North Continent.

Because it was clearly an area with a high probability of being homeless.

“What’s left to do now… I see.”

Before stopping by his final destination Lennok simply bought a bunch of fresh vegetables at a nearby grocery store.

“Did Evelyn like celery? “I think I often ate carrots and cucumbers.”

If you go to the North Continent you will probably meet Evelyn with a high probability.

Since we headed there almost a month early it’s unlikely that she’s consuming any of her favorite fresh vegetables.

Since I was taking a lot of luggage with me anyway it wasn’t difficult to bring a gift for Evelyn.

With that in mind Lennok bought mainly vegetables that were easy to cut and store then simply cut them up and put them in a container.

[I always think about that agent but he has very strange eating habits.]

“….”

[To maintain nutritional balance you need to strike a good balance between meat and vegetarian diet.]

“That’s right. That’s not what you want to say.”

Lennok sighed as he looked down at Dabi who had been stealing electricity from Toad House and was now draining Lennok’s cell phone battery.

The time Lapis gave the summons was tomorrow. There is not much time left.

Lennok looked down at his pre-packed luggage checked his watch and stood up.

There was one last place to stop before heading to the North Continent.

* * *

Beep-beep-

A large hospital located in the 20th district.

Among them the VIP hospital room is located on the top floor.

The image of a bird-headed giant lying on a spacious bed in a single room was reflected through the glass window.

Felix Magath’s body with his eyes closed is in such disarray that it is difficult to find a clean spot.

The injury was so severe that blood was oozing out even though the entire body was bandaged.

The straight beak is cracked and shattered showing the bright red skin.

Dylan spoke calmly next to Lennok who stood silently outside the window.

“They said it would take about a month to become conscious.”

“….”

“I heard the story. “Young Man Crocodile made our director look like this right?”

Dylan chewed his lip behind his wrestler mask.

“Damn it Mila and I should have gone together.”

“Chief Felix’s judgment was not wrong.”

At that moment a woman who walked into the hospital room answered Dylan’s words.

Short hair with a cold look. Although she was a beautiful woman with a neat appearance her expression was hard and gave her a cold impression.

“You two have been called here and there recently by order of the leader so it was necessary to drain your strength in case something goes wrong.”

“Vice-captain….”

“Or is it that you don’t trust my judgment in approving his decision?”

“haha….”

Dylan who was breaking into a cold sweat under the sharp gaze of the woman called vice-captain slowly pulled away.

“Now that I think about it I forgot to give Felix a gift to visit him in the hospital. This could be a bit of a problem. “I’ll go out for a moment.”

“what?”

There was no time for Lennok to say anything.

The vice-captain ignoring Dylan who disappeared from the hospital room in an instant immediately turned his attention to Lennok.

“Fast. “Right?”

“….”

Without waiting for Lennok’s answer she held out her hand first.

“Stella Grien. I’m the deputy director of the Antares office. “I am running the office in place of the absent manager.”

“It’s half. “I’m a freelancer.”

“Thank you for not forgetting and visiting our unit. “I never thought you would come to visit me but you turned out to be a much more compassionate person than I expected.”

“…In the first place rumors cannot be trusted.”

As Lennok said that he slowly turned his head towards Felix.

It was planned to visit him in the hospital but I didn’t expect him to still be unconscious.

Although the battle with Kroken was intense considering that there were no serious injuries during the battle I thought his condition would have improved by now…

This is an unnatural situation considering that Hina who was seriously injured at the agent headquarters I visited before coming here recovered to the point where she was able to walk.

All I can think of is…

“Croken Asillus.”

Stella said as she looked up at Lennok’s back.

“You came to hear about that inspiration right?”

“….”

“Shall we sit down and talk?”

Stella said that and sat cross-legged on the sofa against the wall of the hospital room.

She took the tobacco out of her arms and put it in her mouth casually.

The moment Lennok frowned faintly Stella spoke as if making an excuse.

“It’s an electronic cigarette. “It’s something that only emits water vapor.”

Come to think of it it’s not something that can be burned in the first place. The appearance looked close to an electronic device.

“I didn’t say anything.”

“….”

Lennok asked sitting across from Stella who pursed her lips.

“The battle hammer that Felix carried. “Are those injuries caused by the magical power contained within that hammer?”

“…what?”

“Croken Asillus saw that magical power and said it was from ‘Advent.’ And the name ‘Dorae’ is….”

Since returning to the city I have invested some time to find out about the name.

If Kroken was interested enough to get his hands on it it was clear that Lennok was also worth knowing about.

As a result what I learned was that there was a person using that nickname more than 200 years ago.

And the fact was that the man failed to ascend to heaven and returned to ashes and dust.

The ‘arrival’ mentioned by Felix and Croken was the nickname of the now dead level 9 ascendant.

“If it was a reaction to using the posthumous magic of such a being as a weapon then it is understandable that Felix is ​​still suffering from the aftereffects. “Kroken who was not obsessed with any weapon acquired the hammer.”

Stella who was looking at Lennok with a slightly surprised expression muttered.

“It looks like the old man’s mouth has become a lot lighter since I haven’t seen him. Even though Felix doesn’t know I never thought you would know that fact.”

“….”

“I traveled before settling in this city.”

Stella said while blowing out a puff of smoke.

“There were people who wanted to see all the mysteries of this world with their own eyes and confirm the ending.”

“….”

“A lot happened during the long trip. And everyone changed.”

There was silence.

“As Arsnova which seemed to last forever collapsed those who sensed that the end was not far away began to take action. “I saw and heard many things but it was inevitable that my answers would diverge.”

“And the answer to those of you who followed Antares is this mercenary office.”

You don’t have to say it in words to know.

The magic power rising from Stella’s whole body as she sat with her legs crossed in a neat posture and flicked an electronic cigarette was more powerful than any words.

A level 7 person with the ability to complete the seven hierarchies and become the embodiment of change.

It is impossible to guess how long the momentum must have endured and been honed as it calmly sank and then sank deep like a wave in the deep sea.

However a faintly twisted trace of mutation blooms at the end of the slowly flowing wave as if time has stopped.

Are you already finding your own answer as to how to go one step further?

The deputy head of the Antares office had a force comparable to that of the cartel president.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the military power of the office that possesses Antares and Stella Felix is ​​comparable to that of the Triumvirate.

However if there is a reason why they have been holding their breath and existing as a mercenary group instead of moving to the forefront of the shadows…

“The afterlife magic of Dorae is one of the ancient artifacts obtained during such a journey. These weapons were made by processing the remains of a famous berserker hundreds of years ago… They have a power that even a level 7 Aspect power can covet but the aftereffects are also strong.”

She glanced toward the other side of the glass window and muttered.

Her gaze as she looked at the unconscious Felix was full of concern that could not be hidden.

“It appears that such an item was stolen by Croken Asillus…”

“Of course the leader and I were against the use of that relic. “The fact that Felix took the hammer as his own was his way of avoiding an inevitable situation like back then.”

Stella’s eyes shined sharply.

“Didn’t you come to us like this because you felt indebted to us for that fact too?”

“I feel remorse.”

“….”

Stella who had hit the nail on the head kept her mouth shut.

“There’s no need to show those feelings to me. Because I didn’t come all the way here to reprimand you. “If physical aftereffects are an issue I think I should also respect Felix’s choice.”

“then….”

“But we should at least listen to what Antares wants and hopes for and what he has been waiting for.”

Lennok and Stella’s gazes collided simultaneously in the air.

“I only encountered that man in person once. “This was before I even perfected the hierarchy.”

“….”

“With that much power what are you still waiting for and hoping for? “Where and what are you planning to do after leaving the mercenary group you created?”

said Lennok smoothing the left sleeve of his coat.

“You asked me what answer I wanted on the day the heavens opened. “Now I have to ask him.”

“…That’s a request I can’t grant.”

Stella shrugged her shoulders.

“You know what kind of person Antares is. I also only see each other a few times a year. “What can you expect from someone who wanders around the continent on a random day?”

“….”

She nodded looking at Lennok who was silent.

“I told you that I wanted to make an appointment so I’ll tell you the story separately when the manager comes. Antares also likes you so he will contact you soon.”

“no.”

Lennok shook his head despite Stella’s answer.

“I’m sorry but I don’t have much time either. “We need to talk now.”

“So the leader is now….”

The last destination before responding to the summons. I didn’t come here just to visit Felix.

If not today an opportunity like this would not come easily to Lennok or him.

A level 8 extremely capable person. The leader of a mercenary group in the shadows of the city. A being that remembers many things and waits for its time.

Lennok had planned to meet with Antares once again and confirm his true intentions.

“Should I tell you directly that Antares is here now?”
