Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 483



Apostle Evan (1)

“Evan Martinez…!!”

Zaif’s expression is a shocked expression as he stumbles and takes a step back.

However the reaction was far from being surprised by the unexpected unfamiliarity.

The feeling of discomfort that arises when you confirm something that you vaguely guessed but hoped was never true.

As soon as Lennok saw Zaif’s face he was sure that he had guessed the answer.

“Is it really true… that there was a being who became an apostle without the ritual of selection…?”

With trembling hands I touched the shell shield summoned by Lennok over and over again.

The more it happened the more it became clear to Zaif that this was a substance removed from the body of the apostle.

The body of the apostle becomes the embodiment of the end and becomes something manifested as a material that is not of this world.

He didn’t know what it meant to be able to take out the fragment himself and show it to Zaif.

“Is it possible to even partially manifest the true body?… In fact you are already a complete being as an apostle.”

Jaif who had been manipulating the shell fragment for a while looked back at Lennok with more cautious eyes.

Even the way he spoke when calling him had changed to become more serious as if he was already half convinced of Lennok’s identity.

“What do you want to tell me away from the eyes of Archbishop Evan Naidry?”

“You probably already guessed it.”

Lennok crossed his arms and looked at Zyph’s reaction with cold eyes. From here on you have to choose your words carefully.

Although he succeeded in planting suspicion in Zaif through Penterect that Rennok might be the same apostle and turning it into certainty.

Nevertheless Lennok has not yet explained why he gave a separate signal to Zaif.

Of course I didn’t know anything about the apostle named Zaif but I could guess something from his reaction.

However by exquisitely mixing truth and lies Zaif’s behavior is guided by Lennok’s wishes.

The extent to which the ratio should be adjusted cannot be determined in advance before the conversation.

I have no choice but to improvise and cook the food while closely observing the reactions of Zaif who is shaking in front of me.

The control of the conversation lies with this party. Lennok opened his mouth to Zaif as he replayed that in his head.

“He became an apostle without the selection ceremony with the help of a priest. “You know what this means right?”

It’s full of extremely ambiguous words. Choosing words that are not strange even if they are always taken to have different meanings depending on the situation.

But for Zaif that seemed to be enough.

Apostle Zaif bites Lennok’s words with a shocked face as if he had been waiting for him.

“Are you saying that Archbishop Naidry knows the truth but is hiding it from his agents…!!”

“…yes.”

Rather than inferring that fact it seems like he was hoping those words would come out of Lennok’s mouth.

With a stiff face and his chin resting Zaif’s true feelings pour out as he follows Lennok’s words.

“Certainly… there were doubts about Archbishop Naidry rather than the current priestess presiding over this ceremony.”

“I see.”

“However the Archbishop as a previous priestess has presided over the rituals of the Holy Spirit so I thought this incident also received his approval.”

Lennok’s head spun rapidly.

There are two facts that can be learned from Zaif’s words.

The person who presides over the apostle selection ceremony is not the priestess of the church but Archbishop Naidry.

The archbishop used to be a priest but for some reason he left his hometown and settled in the Far East branch.

While Lennok was organizing his thoughts Zaif also started muttering with a serious expression.

“Apart from the selection ceremony does the Archbishop have any wishes? Although I did find it odd to perform a ritual in a sea of ​​understanding…”

“The important thing is that the archbishop deliberately withheld information.”

Before Zaif’s thoughts could drift into something strange Lennok returned the topic with a sharp word.

“Unless you want something else there is no way to hide the fact that you can become an apostle without going through the selection ceremony. yes?”

“…I can’t deny it.”

Zaif looked pained but nodded heavily as if he had been waiting for those words.

Lennok also spat out lies with a serious expression on his face without even putting a lick of saliva in his mouth.

“I realized this soon after I arrived on the island and realized that I could not trust the archbishop and was looking for a helper.”

“That means it was me. Then the strange sense of déjà vu I felt in the square….”

Only then did Zaif nod his head with a cool expression thinking that all questions would be answered.

Perhaps the reality was quite different but Lennok now realized that it did not really matter.

No matter how much an apostle is called the embodiment of the apocalypse his way of thinking and intelligence is no different from that of an outstanding superhuman.

Instead of resolving all the doubts that exist within him it is enough to prepare a somewhat plausible answer.

The more you think that everything fits together the more Zaif will trust what Lennok says.

And Lennok’s thoughts were not wrong.

“How can I help you?”

The words flowed out of Zaif’s mouth on their own.

In fact it goes beyond agreeing with Lennok’s words and is tantamount to saying that he will actively cooperate with the current situation.

Lennok answered immediately.

“We need to investigate the inside of the temple. “If the archbishop has something hidden it is definitely the only place on this island.”

Actually even Lennok doesn’t know if what he said is true but it’s something to know.

Once you enter the temple there are plenty of excuses to hang around inside.

The only thing that matters is whether Zaif is taking this situation seriously enough to let Lennok into the temple.

“It’s inside a temple… I guess so.”

Zaif also nodded with a more cautious expression.

“However with preparations for the selection ceremony complete it is almost up to the archbishop’s will as to when the ceremony will begin. “Entering the temple now would be risky in many ways.”

Preparations for the ceremony have already been completed and the archbishop is only guessing the timing?

Although it was unexpected information Lennok did not show it at all and instead smiled.

“So you’re saying they didn’t even tell me properly when the ritual would start?”

“….”

Did that mocking word drive a wedge in Zaif’s suspicions?

Zaif who had been silent for a long time turned his back.

“…Follow me. “I will guide you into the temple.”

* * *

A huge crystal palace built in the middle of the island of the Far East branch of the Earth Church that runs through the sea.

The beautiful palace which appears to be elaborately carved out of colorful rock and marble is guarded by hundreds of religious troops.

Originally we would have had to go through a bit more trouble to break through their tight security and the boundaries inside the palace.

However Lennok was now moving into the temple with great ease just by following behind Zaif.

The moment they see Zaif’s face most church members can’t even think of saying hello.

Looking stiff and nervous he just hoped that the apostle would quickly pass by without even looking at him.

Zaif also passes the huge arch-shaped gate without even paying attention as if such an attitude is natural.

The moment when Lennok was about to follow Zaif into the gate.

Pajik!

With a light spark the curtain inside the gateway pushed Lennok away.

“hmm?”

Zaif and the other members of the church look back at Lennok after seeing the abnormal phenomenon.

“What’s going on?”

“It appears that the temple’s confrontation system has been activated. “It wouldn’t have happened without bringing in an outsider…”

Gyogun looked at Lennok with a slightly sharp expression.

“Can I please identify you for a moment?”

“…He is my guest. “What is this?”

When Zaif faintly frowned and expressed his displeasure the church soldiers instantly retreated looking crushed.

Even within the denomination there were never many believers who were quick to disobey the apostles who had a special status.

“I’m sorry. However as it is it is difficult to even find out the reason why the curtain of the great world is blocked…”

“This is absurd. Not an outsider. “How do you manage the confrontation world so that you can’t recognize members of the same sect?”

“yes? “Never before has a believer been rejected by the barrier.”

“…what?”

“Let’s stop there.”

Looking at Zaif who was speechless Lennok took a step forward.

If he stands still like this he will end up arousing Zaif’s suspicions again.

In that case it would have been better for Lennok to come forward and allay the suspicion.

Fortunately Lennok had a way to release the barrier.

In a sharp somewhat sensitive voice he blames the church for not letting him in.

“From what I hear I can’t see it. “I knew the Far East branch wasn’t flexible but I never thought it would be like this.”

He took out a piece of paper with a control code written on it from his pocket and casually rubbed it against the tent between his sleeves.

At the same time the curtain blocking Lennok’s path began to melt away like a lie and open the way.

The eyes of the other priests who were watching with nervous expressions widened perhaps because it was a sight rarely seen even among the religious forces guarding the gate.

“With a single wave of the hand the temple’s battle system can be changed…”

“Are you born noble by nature?”

“If Apostle Zaif personally guides us then there is no doubt about it.”

It went beyond simply allowing Lennok to pass through and only maintained the appearance of the barrier and completely stopped its function.

With this it will be much easier for Rapped P.O. or Gap-seon to enter the temple in the future.

“I have adjusted the performance of the barrier so make sure you do not touch it until I tell the archbishop directly.”

It’s virtually the same as stopping the confrontation but instead they put an iron plate on their faces and raise their voices as if they’ve accomplished something big.

However when his attitude and the sight of him casually touching the Daejeon system in front of his eyes were combined there was no one among the church members who did not lower their head.

“I’m sorry for not knowing you the distinguished guest of Bonseong.”

“I will do as the priest says.”

Lennok casually passed through the gate and stood next to Zaif.

Zaif nodded with a solemn expression.

“As expected it was the archbishop’s trick. “I was noticing it.”

“…what?”

“Didn’t you want to prevent you an apostle who has not passed the selection ceremony from entering the temple?”

“….”

Apostle Zaif is now talking nonsense as if he can see the inside story.

From that expression there was no longer even the slightest hint of suspicion of Lennok.

“You must have foreseen this situation in advance and made the necessary preparations. “I feel more confident.”

“That’s right.”

“Archbishop Naidri….”

Zaif is now burning with hostility towards the archbishop who has been concentrating on worship in the square.

How could I say in front of him that everything I had said so far was just an excuse to infiltrate the temple?

However apart from that it seemed necessary to remember that the temple’s confrontation system was replaced by the power of Jindun.

It may not be a simple problem that believers in the Far East branch are not properly aware of that fact.

Before Lennok could even think about it Zaif walked forward and led Lennok straight into the temple.

Good luck!

The candles hanging on the wall lit up the hallway as the two people walked.

“After the service the archbishop and his deputies will return to the temple. “It’s better to hurry before then.”

Zaif said with a look of trust in his eyes.

“If you saw through the Daejeon world’s tricks you would naturally have a guess right?”

“….”

“We understood that the archbishop was hiding something from us. “Show me what it is.”

Of course Lennok knows nothing about the structure of this temple or the secrets the archbishop is hiding.

Rather I am in a situation where I have to wander around the temple together with Zaif in search of the secret.

However instead of being embarrassed Lennok raised his finger with a confident expression.

Instead of being intimidated in a place like this he knew that he had to actively pretend to know and trick Zaif into letting him get away with it.

“There are three places that come to mind right away… the archbishop’s office the top spire of the temple and the security deposit box inside the temple.”

It is a space inside the temple that is not easily accessible to outsiders but is also a suitable place to hide something.

It is a space that even Lennok who has never set foot in this temple can naturally assume exists.

If you mention it this specifically there will be no doubts.

However as soon as he heard the words Zaif tilted his head in confusion.

“Hmm…?”

“Why are you doing that?”

“No the answer is more obvious than I thought.”

“….”

“For all the grandiose answers I’m not particularly impressed…”

He was a guy whose standards were much higher than I expected.

“Of course it is difficult to enter the archbishop’s office. The spire is initially closed so no one can enter or exit unless it is a special occasion. “You have to write a guest book in the safe so there will be a record.”

“I see.”

“It’s a place I’ve been thinking about ever since I had to go into the temple. “Are there any other candidates?”

The appearance of Zaif staring at Lennok with slightly narrowed eyes.

At that moment he seemed to think that Lennok’s words were not trustworthy so he seemed to be trying to take this side.

As soon as Lennok saw Zaif’s face like that he decided how to react.

It is not necessary to resolve Zaif’s doubts with another groundbreaking idea.

From now on discipline had to be firmly established to prevent this sharp-witted apostle from making any noise.

“Apostle Zaif.”

“okay.”

“Why should I answer for your complacency?”

“…what?”

In response to Zaif’s bewildered answer Lennok quietly put his hand on his shoulder with an expressionless face.

“So you thought you could secure the archbishop’s secret without taking any risks?”

“….”

“If you thought so you were looking at me wrong.”

Lennok no longer listened to Zaif and turned away.

Lenok placed his hand on the wall of a nearby hallway and without hesitation opened the shelf that protruded from one corner of the wall.

“It looks like our plan which has already become complacent needs to be alerted.”

“What are you trying to do? no way…?”

Zaif realized that what Lennok had touched was one of the distribution boxes that distributed the power of the temple’s internal facilities and took a slight step back.

Lenok reached for the wires without hesitation and ripped them all off the wall.

Crunchy!!

Magic power is inserted into the end of the distribution box and flows back to the power generation facility connected to the other side overloading the facility itself.

At that moment as evening approached the interior of the temple fell into complete blackout.

It’s shaky…!!

Suddenly faint sparks began to fly throughout the dark hallway.

“What the hell!!”

“The facility lost power…!!”

“You’re wrong nothing is being said!!”

Lennok laughed as he looked at the priests wandering around Mt. Hornbibaek.

“Let’s start with fireworks.”
