Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 411



Unemployed (1)

“In the Balkans?”

“yes. “After receiving baptism Ayun’s life response stopped.”

“Hmm….”

Somewhat a sour reaction. Nevertheless the man who posted the report did not stop talking.

“Even though he joined the church at a late age he was considered a missionary candidate because of his considerable qualifications. “I think we need to actively review the cause of death.”

“You’re kidding right? “What are we going to do by sending our children to that city?”

“….”

The man closed his mouth in response to a deep sneer.

“It’s a crime-ridden area where strange powers run rampant to the point where Bishop Martinez suddenly dies. “I don’t want to worry about such a rebellious city that rejects doctrine.”

Rumors abound in the Eastern Continent branch of the church that Walter Martinez a missionary dispatched to the Balkans died without being able to overcome adversity even after the successful advent of the Apostles.

Didn’t two apostles personally come and select new missionary candidates to fill the void left by the talented bishop?

In the aftermath hundreds of promising believers died at once causing a major disruption to the power of the church branch.

“If you just forget about those devilish things for a while you will get out of trouble by fighting among yourself. If it were a lawless area where there was no order at all it would be difficult to watch without letting go… but it is a city after all right?”

The voice said with a sinister laugh.

“If you want it to grow on its own it will have to be pruned in some way. Our role is to watch the tide from the sidelines and then pick up the pieces and eat them. “It’s not for no reason that we’re attracting attention by sending our kids into that devil’s den.”

“that….”

“We are already using our manpower to pioneer the central front so let’s not increase work unnecessarily unless it is a direct order from the church headquarters. “Okay?”

Even though he has never visited it in person he has an accurate insight into the current state of affairs in a large city.

The intuition of what happens when vast forces are too concentrated in one place is not something that can be gained simply through experience.

Even if it is a denomination that uses its believers like tools it is possible to judge the situation without being blinded by the immediate loss.

In that sense there was nothing wrong with the words of the northeast branch leader of the church a voice that lightly denied the man’s words.

“This is an instruction that came through the direct line of the second apostle.”

“….”

“Recent trends near cities especially in the Balkans are unusual so establish a new sphere of influence inside the city as quickly as possible and reorganize personnel….”

“Hey shouldn’t you have said that first?”

Good!!

Sticky blood drips down the feet of the branch manager who stands up with a grunt soaking his pants.

She sighed with her hands on her hips and absentmindedly raised her head and looked up at the sky.

“Damn it… I thought I would be able to relax after this but it turned out to be a vain dream.”

The apostles who are the core force leading the cult and who act directly under the orders of the cult leader are all monsters with ferocity comparable to that of strategic weapons.

Among them the two apostles currently active have a more special meaning to believers.

Unlike most single-digit apostles who cannot properly control their own madness and wander between ideals and reality and remain in seclusion he is the second person to follow the cult leader but he is still a tactician who wanders all over the continent and tries his hand at all kinds of things.

It is no exaggeration to say that there are almost no believers who do not feel his consideration and care in big and small aspects.

The head of the northeastern branch actually did not have any particular feelings toward the second apostle but he also knew that there was no way to ignore his orders.

“I’m getting ready to leave. “I will leave as soon as I finish my ablutions.”

After wiping away the blood from his body the branch manager tapped the shoulder of the man standing in front of him and passed by.

“yes? Are you really planning to go in person?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know? “What do you think the great apostle meant by giving this order to me the head of the northeastern branch?”

The branch manager laughed.

“Geographically speaking the southern branch of the church is much closer but the reason you bothered to contact us here… I guess it’s because our famous apostle knows what I think of you.”

“….”

“I like it anyway. “I think I now know roughly what the apostles were thinking… If it is our role to establish doctrine where it is needed we must follow that.”

What does it mean to understand the will of an apostle who was born as a human being and was chosen by the religious leader?

Could it be said that her brilliance lies in not revealing that specialness while properly recognizing it?

Although it is dismissed as foolish fanaticism and is called an object of fear and incomprehension the number and size of the talents involved in that belief must be immeasurable.

And even within that powerful and vast sect one of the most special talents was beginning to prepare to head to the megacity.

Lennok was sitting by the window in the sunlight leisurely looking out at the street.

If it’s something you have to handle alone you don’t often have to kill time in this way but if circumstances don’t allow you to do it you have no choice.

This is especially true if it is an issue that requires active cooperation from not only Lennok himself but also others.

In that sense it was clear that Palmer a blacksmith from Machine City was a difficult person to work with.

Clap clap clap.

The sound of metal rubbing and talking to myself constantly coming from behind my back.

“This can’t be done.”

“….”

“Fuck this isn’t even this. The circuit connection was completely faulty. “If this happens output control becomes difficult.”

bang!!!

Finally Lennoc couldn’t bear it anymore and slowly turned his head.

“How about accepting the reasonable offer and compromising?”

“No no no!!”

screamed Palmer shaking his head.

“I who left the Machine City was able to steal Machina’s blueprints through someone else…!! “This can’t happen!!”

“….”

It’s already been 30 minutes. Lennok held back a sigh and looked out the window again.

The reason why I met blacksmith Palmer for the first time in a long time whom I never looked for unless I had a clear business to do.

It was to finish the various things that needed to be done before meeting Madrich Onion.

Not long ago Lennok confirmed the location of the gathering place where Madrich’s military spirits gathered through the new power of the magical eye and various preparations.

Since the military order of a Grimoire gang boss would not be wasted there is a high probability that the location where the military order was recovered is the area where Madrich’s main body is located.

In the process there was a fuss about adjusting the power of the magic eye with the help of Oliveira but anyway they succeeded in finding the coordinates at least roughly.

Except for the fact that the coordinates found were located outside the city it was definitely a satisfactory result.

‘It’s outside the city…’

In terms of distance it is not that far from a large city. However considering the terrain and environment it was natural that Lennok could not neglect preparations.

It doesn’t matter if you accept Madric’s offer and enter his sphere of influence.

However Lennok knew that he had to make sure he had all the information and preparations he needed to know before going.

Ordering new equipment modifications from Palmer is part of such preparation.

This was because while searching Gearside’s database I succeeded in obtaining quite useful information.

Among them what Lennok found was a custom personal firearm design combination that had been updated until recently in the machine city of Machina.

The data obtained while dealing with National Guard Lieutenant General Trefen and killing Gearside researchers contained blueprints for a firearm that was being developed.

Therefore Lennok tried to entrust the job to the person who could best implement the blueprint to the best of his knowledge.

Palmer was stubbornly refusing the request making the excuse that he was not qualified to see the blueprint.

“If you don’t want to do me a favor I’ll just leave.”

Lennok glanced at the clock and then stood up.

“I thought it was an appropriate deal in exchange for sharing the principles of the blueprint but now that it’s come to this I think I’ll have to entrust the job to another craftsman.”

Palmer is not the only craftsman handling firearms in the outlying area.

Although there were some issues with trust now was the opportunity to significantly upgrade Lennok’s firearms so it was not the time to judge people.

However upon hearing Lennok’s words Palmer stood up like lightning and stood in front of the workshop door.

“no!! “Are you planning on revealing the Machine City’s secrets to others?”

“…If you think about it that way shouldn’t I be criticized for showing the blueprint to you Palmer?”

“That… I left the city but my heart still exists in Machina’s workshop so it’s okay.”

“Then you can accept my request.”

“But how dare I forget my duty…”

“….”

[Is this eccentric and foul-tempered organism now trying to play with the Master?]

The conversation with Palmer was so sluggish that even Dabi who was taking a nap with his head down in his arms became irritated.

But Lennok had a rough guess as to why Palmer could only express himself in this way.

‘Palmer is not the type of person who is very obsessed with the prestige of the Machine City. Probably because of his pride as a craftsman he doesn’t want to even look at the blueprint I hand him.’

[Then what do you want me to do?]

‘Couldn’t you ask me to add an offer or reason that I can’t refuse?’

[…Humans are truly annoying creatures.]

At Dabi’s sighing words Lennok also laughed a little to himself.

Ultimately pride is a state of mind that is a mixture of various complex emotions.

Although it is far from a rational or cool-headed judgment it is one of the important psychological defense mechanisms that makes people more human.

Perhaps it was because he possessed the rationality of a more rational wizard than anyone else but Lennok did not think that pride was useless.

‘The problem is that you need a plausible lie to convince Palmer. Even the route by which the information was obtained in the first place was unofficial…’

Lennok’s discovery of the personal firearm blueprint category is a by-product of what he learned in the process of Dabi overturning the Gearside database.

Even that information wasn’t something she could get her hands on right away but rather it was an income she gained while organizing the chunks of data that had piled up in a disorderly manner inside her with Dabi.

As such it felt difficult to explain to Palmer the truth about how he obtained the blueprint.

‘Machine City… Gearside… I see.’

Lennok who thought of a good excuse turned to Palmer and said

“I wasn’t going to say this but… this design was actually received directly from the machine city’s executive officer.”

“What…?”

“Do you know about Maiya Lenslit?”

There is no need to say which side Palmer’s reaction with his eyes wide open is biased.

Lennok was confident that he had guessed the correct answer and began to blurt out the lie he had prepared in advance without even putting a lick of saliva on it.

“During the request process I received formal permission from him and received the blueprint. “It’s the same as officially receiving permission from the Machine City.”

“That’s for sure… but the evidence is…”

Instead of saying any more Lennok divided his magical energy into three branches and used friction at different speeds to penetrate a nearby mineral water bottle.

Dismissal!!

“The season of Maiya Rensleyt who was called Machina’s best executioner. I watched it from the side and learned something similar. “Is this enough proof?”

In reality instead of learning the techniques from her she just beat her up fought with her and eventually compromised but I guess it’s okay.

The day will never come when she comes to the metropolis and tells Palmer the truth.

Lennok smiled confidently after seeing that Palmer’s expression was on the verge of completely falling over.

“There are many things I want to entrust to you. First why not take a moment to check whether the blueprint is actually the correct item?’

“Is that so…?”

The sight of Palmer placing his hand on the data chip placed on the table while secretly observing Lennok.

Next to him Lennok continued to say things that could be tempting.

“From what I found there is also a system that adjusts the cylinder pressure based on the recoil of the shotgun. In addition there is a method of weaponizing rifle cartridges and a method of forcibly increasing the space optimized for magic application…”

The story about Maiya is false from beginning to end but the story about the blueprint is undeniably true.

From new attempts to completely revamp the functions of shotgun rifles and revolvers to blueprints for new heavy weapons that Lennok may need.

In the past it was not possible to carry many firearms due to the limitations of magical power and the capacity and weight of reduction magic but the situation was different now that the magical power of the labyrinth had been absorbed and the number of vessels had been increased.

Not only magic that consumes a lot of magical power and is large in scale can be helpful in battle.

If you have the judgment and speed to apply the right firepower at the right time there will be many times when efficiency is more important than the amount of firepower you extract.

Aside from constantly researching magic and improving his own level Lennok had no intention of neglecting his equipment.

“First let’s start by increasing the muzzle of the rechargeable shotgun to three. If you use it in conjunction with the magic rotation I just showed you I think we can produce similar results with high efficiency… Aren’t you curious?”

No further answer was needed.

Before I knew it the data chip was being held tightly in Palmer’s hand as if someone would snatch it away.

“…Come back in a day.”

He spoke in a hoarse voice and nodded.

“If you leave us the equipment we will clean it up the way you want.”

“All right.”

Palmer is already distracted by the new blueprint. Lennok left the workshop with a satisfied smile.

I took out my phone and checked the messages and there was a call from someone I had been waiting for.

New project. Achilles and Madrich Onion. Cooperation between cartels and dykes and a control organization that encompasses them all.

There was someone who needed help once more to finish all this.

Considering the presence of the military magician that I have to deal with from now on I cannot afford to delay even a moment.

That moment when Lennok thought so and immediately opened and checked the message.

[Ibelin: I’m sorry but I’m unemployed right now….]

“…what?”
