Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 474



Observer of the World (2)

As soon as the man bends down an armchair appears out of thin air and supports his body.

The boy slowly opened his mouth in front of the man who was naturally sitting with his legs crossed.

“First of all I want to know if it is certain that the Six Apostles are dead.”

“that’s right. “It disappeared a while ago.”

“I see….”

The boy agreed in a firm tone.

The man looked at the boy and asked.

“Only a very small number of people in the church including priests know. How did you know?”

“….”

“Oh please don’t talk nonsense about the close bond between the apostles or anything like that. “You know better that we don’t have anything like that right?”

The bond and intimacy between the apostles who are called maximum power are in fact bound together through a single doctrine called Guido and are in fact close to the worst.

Originally the apostles were incarnations of different gods of the open sea.

This is because the god served by one religious denomination is no different from a collection of different religious denominations.

They are merely maintaining the form of their organization out of loyalty to their leader who is the owner of the denomination and the propagator of its doctrines.

Without a strong central point there were many who wanted to prove their superiority by fighting among themselves rather than uniting together.

Despite the man’s sharp remarks the boy responded calmly.

“I saw it from outside.”

“…You saw it?”

After asking a belated question the boy slowly closed his eyes.

“On rare occasions when I come to my senses I remember what I was looking at.”

“….”

“I’m wandering the endless sea. A dark sea so wide and gigantic that nothing can be seen… It is unbearably painful at every moment but there are times when it becomes uncontrollably comfortable and enjoyable for a split second.”

The boy said quietly.

“Wandering forever chasing that one moment. forever….”

“Whoa….”

A man with a tired expression combed his hair and slowly took off his glasses.

From the moment the thick lens completely disappeared from his field of vision the direction in which the man was looking began to split into space.

Damn it…!!

The boy’s body touched by those gazes shatters like glass and his internal organs are shattered.

The man spoke to the boy who did not even moan even though it was not a pain that a human could endure.

“Hughes… Do you think I’m asking because I don’t know what the gods of the open sea are?”

“….”

“Let’s not waste time. “What do you want to say?”

It is not uncommon for an apostle who has reached the end of his madness to peek into the memories of foreigners.

What the man wanted to know was not how far the boy had peeked into Oesin’s memories.

What was this rare genius who came to his senses after almost decades calling him for?

Even now there are many believers who need his help in religious branches across the continent.

The religious leader who is supposed to lead all this chaos and lead the believers to paradise is in a situation where he cannot say that he is fine even with empty words.

There was so much he had to do besides dealing with the completely crazy Apostle.

said the boy.

“When the Six Apostles spoke with a wizard named Victor just before his death there was a response from him.”

“…reaction?”

“It was such a powerful inspiration that it brought my consciousness back to its original state as I was swimming in the sea. “It would be good to find out about him.”

“….”

The second apostle was lost in thought with a cold expression at the completely unexpected words.

The only one they serve together. Is it really a coincidence that his reaction happened at that moment and was observed by another apostle?

The man who was silent for a long time slowly nodded.

“…good. It’s much more serious than I expected. “Is there anything you want?”

The boy that the second apostle remembers is a person with a very unusual personality even among the apostles within the church.

Even when his mind is intact he has a personality so complex that he cannot easily move for just one reason.

It was valuable information but there was no need to shake off the madness and stand up for just this one thing.

The boy also answered in a quiet tone.

“I want to have the same ending as the Six Apostles. “Can you prepare a suitable stage?”

“…what?”

“The fact that the six apostles who had known him the longest disappeared must mean that he had a direct will.”

“….”

“If he decides to vacate the position of an apostle whose usefulness has expired I would like to be the next one.”

The boy’s eyelids fluttered as he closed his eyes.

“Honestly right now… it’s not easy to have a conversation like this. “I don’t know if I’m speaking correctly.”

“You talk at length about wanting to commit suicide.”

The man let out a cold sigh.

“Please also know that the case of the six apostles was a very special situation and that the priestess had strong intentions.”

“…”

When does an apostle die and disappear? Where does the foreign power that was given to him go after he dies?

How is the qualification to succeed to a vacant position recreated?

Ironically all the answers are given to the religious leader and priestess not to the apostle himself.

“He is different from you who isolated themselves from the church. “He was someone who deserved a peaceful death.”

“I see… I understand.”

The boy obediently agreed.

The man looked down at the boy stood up and laughed.

“But I knew your doctor well. “Let me send a message to him about what you want.”

“….”

“Given the current situation I thought a suitable position might come up at the right time.”

“where?”

“Big city Balkan.”

The gaze of the second apostle who had adjusted his glasses was infinitely cold and sunken.

“The head of the northeastern branch was also sent there and was martyred. “I need to check what’s happening in the Balkans now.”

Click click.

University of Labatenon. Aris Richelen’s laboratory.

In the quiet laboratory room only the sound of the brain spirit clicking on the keyboard resonates.

Dabi who was sitting on his laptop and tapping the keyboard non-stop let out a frustrated sound.

[Master is this what you are writing now?]

“what do you mean?”

[Even though I was writing it down I couldn’t understand what was being said.]

Dabi said that and jumped on top of Lennok who was reading a book.

[If I were like this other stupid organisms wouldn’t even be able to understand what I was talking about.]

“I intentionally wrote the phrase in a complicated way. “I’m actually glad you don’t understand.”

[What does that mean?]

Lennok answered putting down the book he was holding.

“Couldn’t this mean that the words are so twisted that even the logic circuit of the Thunder Spirit cannot properly interpret them?”

At those words Dabi took Lennok’s hair in his mouth and pulled it violently.

[I don’t have any logic circuits. There is only superior intelligence that transcends organisms!]

“…You’re joking right?”

Sometimes I worry that if Lennok disappears and Dabi is left alone in this world an even worse dystopia will unfold than now.

Dabi grunted and nodded.

[Enjoying black humor is a characteristic of a higher intelligence. Master needs to sharpen his sense of humor more!]

“That’s not black humor it’s just black.”

Lennok laughed and shook his head.

“Anyway it’s okay because I wrote about the practicality of entropy energy theory properly. “The current part will be included in the appendix.”

[It’s a bad human habit to focus on dessert before even writing the entire text.]

Lennok grabbed both of Dabi’s cheeks and stretched them out then answered.

“I have already decided on the theory and content to be written in the main text so I am just paying attention to the original intention of this paper.”

[Original intention?]

“It’s a message.”

Lennok said.

“For those who will understand what I was thinking when I wrote this paper after reading it from beginning to end.”

Although it sounds grandiose it is nothing more than a meaningless idea as there is still some schedule left until the expo.

Lennok put down his book got up from his chair and stretched.

“The dean asked me to come visit you briefly before the fair. I have to go now. From what I heard there is a need to screen candidates within the school as well…”

[I think there were protests from the children of noble families that proper procedures must be followed since I am representing Labatenon University.]

“How do you know that?”

In response to Lennok’s question Dabi tilted his head as if it was strange.

[That’s right… because you hacked it?]

“….”

It’s not that I don’t trust Dabi but it’s an undeniable fact that I sometimes think that there might be a need for rules that match the abilities of this fierce lightning spirit.

While I was pondering whether I should take precautionary measures and teach Dabi the manual my cell phone started ringing in the lab locker.

Lennok frowned slightly.

“Did you put your phone in your coat? Who is Dabi?”

Dabi said without even looking at his phone.

[I am the lighthouse keeper.]

“…what?”

Lennok got up from his seat and quickly searched through his coat in his locker and took his cell phone.

[…Evan?]

Lapis’ voice can be heard vaguely over the communication network.

Somewhere unlike usual it is slightly sunken.

[long time no see. Can we talk for a moment about something I mentioned earlier? This is an important story.]

Lennok naturally blocked the surroundings with noise magic and glanced away.

“It’s been a while. “The message I sent you last time was well received.”

[I’m glad you found it helpful. Did you hear what happened in the jungle?]

Lennok thought for a moment and then agreed.

I pretended not to know anything about the well in the handbook so I didn’t think there was a need to hear an explanation again about what I knew.

“It looks like there was a pretty big dispute.”

[As expected… you have already heard about the situation.]

Lennok asked again.

“If the issue involved the Ascendants it must have been related to the lighthouse’s goals so why didn’t the Blue Eye get involved in this matter?”

Of course Lennok participated in the jungle work as Victor so if Lapis asked for help he would have had to make a reasonable excuse and leave.

There is a possibility that not asking Lapis this may seem rather strange.

As she was reluctant to say that she would send a message and explain later Lennok also needed to respond in kind.

[Because there was nothing to gain.]

“You have nothing to gain?”

[Evan may not know much because he hasn’t had much experience dealing with Pandemonium yet but this rumor is already going around on the continent.]

Lapis who was silent for a moment continued to speak.

[Do not intervene in what those who walk backwards do…]

“….”

[In fact it’s closer to skeptical advice that you’re just putting your finger on something where the outcome has already been decided.]

One who walks backwards. Although it was largely a metaphor Lennok immediately understood what it meant.

This is because I clearly remembered that Ermont who was lying down at the time I met the leader at the end of the labyrinth muttered something similar to his.

It is probably referring to the leader of Bokmajeon and he is probably picking up the words spilled by someone who succeeded in peeking into its essence.

[I also did not step into this matter myself but I felt deeply what that meant.]

“What do you mean?”

[The huge uproar in the jungle started and ended at the hands of the leader and I also watched the ending together.]

“….”

[Whether willingly or unwillingly at least right now I couldn’t face him head-on.]

The young lighthouse keeper did not properly explain what had happened but Lennok understood what Lapis was saying.

The moment when Gyebaek used himself as a bullet and rushed towards the end of the ocean.

The leader must have also continued to move somewhere in this world and crossed paths with the lighthouse along the way.

Was it also because of the leader’s presence that Lapis’ voice seemed a bit subdued?

It would not be strange if Lapis who came face to face with him had a strange indescribable feeling.

Lennok also had to think similarly the moment he suddenly encountered the leader at the end of the labyrinth.

The leader of a huge criminal organization called Pandemonium.

Although he clearly exists in the same world and is alive and breathing he is a mysterious person whose true identity we cannot be certain of.

No one really knows his name identity face or even what kind of life he has led.

At least Ermont an ancient warlock who competed with Lennok in the labyrinth seemed to have guessed his identity but he didn’t even have a chance to interrogate him.

‘The last Geass inserted into Gyebaek’s body also belonged to the leader…’

At least it is clear that he has been alive since the time when the central city was in existence and was spreading his influence throughout the world.

Even the huge incident in which two Ascendants clashed and one ran out of the world was just part of the leader’s plan to reap the seeds he had sown.

Lennok was clearly aware of this so he refrained from finding out about the leader.

The risk was too great to hastily approach the leader at a time when we had not yet delved deep into Pandemonium.

“Whoa….”

As I let out a low breath and leaned back on the chair the old chair in the lab made a noise.

Lennok opened his mouth quietly letting go of the noise echoing in the quiet laboratory.

“I understand that we are in a position to catch up with Pandemonium. “I think it would be enough if I didn’t shake.”

[…of course it should be so.]

It felt like Lapis was smiling bitterly through the communication network.

Blue Eyes is an organization created from its inception to prevent the opening of the sky and find better alternatives.

It is an undeniable fact that since he started as a latecomer his skills and talent were lacking compared to Bokmajeon.

At least with the lighthouse as the center they are attracting talented people from all over the continent and trying to advance to the central front gathering power and fame.

Lapis also got to the point without wasting time.

[There is something I want to show Evan.]

Lennok immediately responded to those calm words.

The location written on the message received from the well. Because it was an unusual name it remained in Lennok’s memory.

“Valley of Passion?”

[…Yes to be exact it is a story about the deepest part of the Eastern Trama Mountains where the valley is located.]

Lennok asked slightly tilting his head at those words.

“Didn’t you say that we are achieving results by breaking through the bridgehead leading to the central front?”

The lighthouse keeper that Lennok knew was never the type of person to talk empty words.

If the message directly says that results are being achieved it would mean that the operation is already on the verge of successful completion.

Of course I thought they would have called Lennok to discuss what happened next but this was a bit unexpected.

However Lapis immediately denied Lennok’s thoughts.

[No we succeeded in securing the route to the central front. At the time the message was sent the operation was virtually over.]

“….what?”

[The reason I contacted Evan today is for no other reason…]

Lapis said that and was silent for a long time.

After a long silence Lapis’ voice was heard again over the phone as if she had made up her mind.

[Because I am ready to regain my grandmother’s power and show the Blue Eye’s ultimate path.]
