Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 530

The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 530
Dual Identity (1)
Lennok and Antares were quietly walking through the crowded exhibition hall.
Dozens of flying vehicles and floating engines slowly passing by.
“Tactical bomber used in the Kabahim Kingdom. “It is a product that will be discontinued within 10 years.”
“….”
“Vertical take-off and landing aircraft of the Republic of Paragini. “Probably about five years later a major engine defect was discovered and an explosion occurred.”
“….”
“A reverse flow control shuttle produced by artisans in Abbadria. “Probably by now the wizards of the Spell Alliance are filing a large-scale lawsuit over charges of magic cloning.”
The image of Antares explaining the airplanes on display around him word by word.
However the words that come out of his mouth are not about the history or performance of airplanes but only stories about the end they will face.
It’s just a story about a future that is almost like a Zen question and answer that we can never know at the moment.
Lennok listened quietly to Antares’ explanation and then slightly tilted his head.
“What do you want to talk about?”
“….”
“Are you planning on wasting your time explaining the specifications of the airplane to me?”
Only then did Antares slowly stop walking and turn his gaze towards Lennok.
“Well what should I say? To put it bluntly…”
He stared at Lennok with a gentle smile and spoke slowly.
“It means that all the aircraft currently on display in this exhibition hall are inferior to even the anti-gravity technology that was created at your fingertips.”
“….”
“In the first place the fact that this fair ended successfully and brought new vitality to this city was something that had never happened in the first place.”
Antares said.
“But it doesn’t take anyone to know that your anti-gravity engine is superior to any airplane on display here.”
“It means that things don’t necessarily go as predicted in the future.”
Lennok answered.

“In the process weren’t we trying to reduce variables that weren’t mixed in with foresight?”
“It depends on the situation. In the Balkans we are trying to reduce our stay as much as possible to avoid variables but…”
Antares smiled bitterly and lowered his gaze.
“For me who has decided on the future the variables of foresight are another hope. “In a sense you are one of those variables.”
“….”
“The Archmage of the Shadows a researcher at the University of Yangji. “It’s a double life that you can’t believe even when you see it for yourself.”
Antares asked.
“At least in my opinion these are only results that are difficult to achieve properly with the human lifestyle. “Since when did it start?”
“On the other hand I would like to ask you something.”
Lennok said.
“Since when did you know?”
He was the one who first noticed Lennok’s dual identity even though he did not say it directly.
However Lennok did not wield magical power or feel murderous intent toward Antares.
This was because he already knew that finding out that Van and Evan were the same person to Antares would not be a big blow.
Antares has already told Lennok his most fatal and deepest secret.
A precognitive ability acquired in return for observing one’s own outcome.
The unbelievable truth that he is traveling across the continent to change the future through him.
He is a man whose circumstances are so complicated that it is difficult for him to hold and keep his own secrets let alone reveal other people’s secrets.
If you hold on to each other’s weaknesses the trust relationship will not be broken unless at least one party falls apart.
Lennok had guessed to some extent that Antares had probably anticipated this situation and revealed his secret in advance.
Perhaps even that can be said to be a piece of the future heading toward the end.
“Seeing the future is not a way to blindly point out possibilities that do not exist.”
Antares looked at Lennog blankly then turned his back and walked leisurely.
“It’s a way of looking at the process leading up to that point in reverse.”
“….”
“In that sense the paper you first submitted on magical power substitution dealt with the past and future in an incredibly detailed manner.”
Antares spoke slowly as Lennok did not respond.
“I don’t know many people who are genius enough to do something like that.”
Does this mean that I had some idea about it from the time I submitted my first paper and now I am confident about it?
Lennok was not that surprised while listening to Antares’ explanation.
The actions of Antares who came to Jenny’s bar and explained a possible terrorist attack at the fair.
That in itself was virtually impossible without being sure of the relationship between Ban and Evan.
Lennok was just curious about how Antares guessed that fact and connected the two identities.
“Are you walking backwards into the future even though you know your ending is predetermined?…”
Lennok asked shaking his head.
“Do you really believe that there will be an answer beyond what you hope for in the end?”
“I don’t know.”

Antares admitted honestly.
“I don’t think this will be possible forever.”
“….”
“That’s why I want to finish my preparations before it’s too late. “The war and hunting that will take place in the future will be so huge that it will change the very concept that existed until now.”
The contradiction of trying to use the future glimpsed through foresight to move toward an unforeseen ending.
What Antares does is only different in form and method but it is no different from a clown playing on and deceiving Geas.
Why did he take on such risks wander around the continent and make his own arrangements?
What does the flame that remains within Antares until the end mean?
“Evan Bylan’s identity has been intentionally kept secret until now. “Completely different magic patterns residence alibis personal information and even variations in personality traits and habits… Your dual identity was at a point where it was completely impossible to trace using physical evidence alone.”
“…”
“But now that you have revealed this level of achievement to the public there will be a significant increase in the number of people curious about your identity.”
Antares continued speaking as Lennok did not respond.
“Where on earth did this talent come from what kind of education did they receive what knowledge did they learn what do they think and what kind of future do they envision? and….”
The two people’s steps stopped at the same time.
“What kind of answer do you want?”
It is a piece of a gigantic dream that mankind once created while longing for the outside world.
A trace of eternity that has become foam in the face of a truth that cannot be resisted and a vast sea of darkness.
Among all the aircraft in the exhibition hall the space shuttle boasts overwhelming scale and power.
Antares quietly looked at it and muttered.
“You want to figure it out and understand it.”
“….”
“If you want to hide it until the end you will have to be much more careful than you are now. “Even if you completely deceive everyone any lie can become the truth in this world where mystery lives.”
“…I know.”
Lennok answered quietly.
“Even though I knew that it was my decision to participate in the fair.”
Lennok laughed as he looked at the shape of the shuttle that Antares was looking at.
“No progress or regression. “Sometimes I dream that time like this will continue forever… but it can’t always stand still.”
“….”
“It has to be a little different now. “The second paper is the first step toward that.”
Anti-gravity technology implemented by imitating the rising air currents of the Dominion.
It was not simply the result of the time spent in the Philenom Dominion.
Countless hours discussing magic theory with Aris at Labatenon University.
The ideals of the extremely powerful strong and great superhumans that we had faced as a class.
The leader’s intention to hunt down the foreign news that he checked at the last moment in the well of handbooks.
All the will and memories stretching out into the open sea come together to become one step toward the answer Lennoc hopes for.
“Opening a path to the sky and pioneering a new mode of transportation is just the beginning.”
The end of the open sea swimming through immeasurable time through indeterminable space and into an incomprehensible universe.
Through this the world becomes a little closer to them having passed through the product of a once failed and abandoned dream.
“If it was Evan’s job to open the way then someone else will take over.”
Lennok continued without hesitation.
“I don’t know how long it will take for the changes to come through anti-gravity technology… but wouldn’t someone use it to find another answer?”
Just in case it doesn’t have to be Lennok who gives the answer last.
If only we could create another path before the end of the world comes completely with the new step suggested by Lennok.
“I see.”
Antares laughed.
“But that change won’t take as long as you think.”
“…what?”
“If you keep watching things you can see you often end up seeing things you can’t see.”
A person with precognitive abilities does not simply passively receive inspiration flowing in and peek into the future.
Have excellent intuition judgment intelligence and inspiration and distinguish between the truth and the truth of the inspiration that comes to you.
Unless you have the ability to determine whether it is true intelligence you are bound to go crazy in an unfathomable fantasy.
Apart from acquiring the omniscience that allows him to glimpse the future Antares himself is also a wise man who can draw a specific future based on the past and present.
“The shock that comes from the commercialization of anti-gravity technology. “It will be impossible for you to avoid the aftermath and recovery process.”
Antares turned around looking at Lennok’s slightly stiff face.
“I was just convinced. “Your identity can no longer be discovered at this point and your abilities and intelligence will become necessary possibilities for the coming outcome.”
“….”
“Let me help you achieve what you want. “That would be the only way to leave behind few variables in the coming changes.”
“Help me.”
Lennok chuckled.
“Now what help are you giving me in hiding my identity?”
“Even in a future that is constantly shaking and changing there are some constants that are fixed.”
“….”
Antares’ gaze was no longer directed at the aircraft inside the exhibition hall.
As if I no longer feel any value in them.
His gaze was focused on Lennok’s eyes.
“The giants of the sun will begin to move.”
* * *
Buaaaaang!!!
A harsh engine sound echoing across the dark asphalt.
A pitch-black flash that cannot be clearly seen disappears scattering rough sparks on the road.
Geek!!
Every time you pull the throttle the surrounding air weighs heavily on your shoulders but the body of the car which moves according to the automatic driving algorithm relieves that pressure and protects the user.
While adjusting the fluttering collar of his coat Lennok placed his hand on the earphones in his ears.
“Jenny what was the situation there?”
-Negotiations broke down. The deal was cancelled. Change of plan to transfer the goods.
“I get it.”
-Is it possible?
“It will take about 10 minutes.”
-No are you moving on that sound bike? Baaaaaan…!! Still if you ride something like that in an uncomfortable body…!!
Pop!
Lennok ignored Jenny’s words and immediately increased the speed of his bike.
Buaaaa!!
However there were dozens of armored vehicles following Lennok on both sides as if they had made an appointment.
Steel plates assembled tightly like armor to withstand any impact or explosion. Nothing can be seen inside the black-tinted window.
Instead the mechanical cannons protruding from both sides of the armored vehicle just spewed out flames all at once.
Doo doo doo doo!!!
Lennok’s bike exploded with heat as hundreds of bullet marks were left along the edge of the wheel.
At the same time the movement of vehicles rushing at a close range as if they were going to hit the bike at any moment.
They fire multiple rounds of artillery among themselves and pay no heed to the bullets being scattered in all directions.
A desperate struggle as if he was going to destroy the bike and reduce its mobility no matter what happened.
Lennok frowned faintly at the movement mixed with blatant urgency.
“Have you been off work for too long?”
It’s been a while since I went to work after receiving Jenny’s nomination request but I’m surrounded by people who are doing ridiculous tricks.
Trying to put pressure on Lennok through vehicles in the shadows of this city is tantamount to suicide.
The opponent as if unaware of this fact was pushing the armored vehicle as if he was going to dent Lennok and explode it without any hesitation.
Slam!!!
As the bike body tilted to one side an elongated muzzle protruded from Lennok’s coat sleeve.
The rechargeable shotgun which is divided into three branches and rotates receives Lennok’s magic power for the first time in a while and is fully charged for a split second.
Keyee…!!
[Magic rapid fire 4-stage overlap]
[Orbit correction]
[Rebound invalid]
[Concentrated fire]
[Rotating Bucket]
Immediately beyond the muzzle rotating at subsonic speed magic power divided into three branches burst out in a combination of rotation and repulsion.
Ugh!!!
At that moment the side of the armored vehicle that was the first to rush towards Lennok disappeared as if a hole had been opened.
Due to the recoil of the shotgun the bike body rises diagonally and easily overcomes the onslaught of armored vehicles.
Fragments of resonance incendiary bombs falling continuously under the wheels of a bicycle spinning against the night sky.
Clap clap clap!!
As if it were a magnet it fell on the road and at the same time stuck to the back under the armored vehicle and blinked continuously.
The rotating blue magical light exploded one after another on the road raising dozens of dazzling pillars of light.
Kwaaaa!!!
The shape of the monster bike rises higher as if climbing stairs as if using the recoil of the explosion as support.
In the midst of the violent wind that turned upside down the thick wheels of the bike landed on the road and exploded into countless fireworks.
Lennok asked frowning amidst the dazzling friction heat and fire erupting from all directions.
“I roughly gave up on the chase. “Where are the items?”
-I passed the 45-block intersection. Looks like they slowed down there!!
Jenny shouted in a slightly breathless voice.
-I will notify the client of the operation instructions. [Evan Bylan Rescue Operation] Orders start now…!!
“….”
A request name that makes you laugh no matter how many times you hear it.
However there was no other reason why Lennoch who had long since given up on nomination requests participated in this request.
A nomination request made directly by a diamond-level client.
“okay.”
Laughing Lennok pulled the throttle.
“Let’s go check out the face of that guy named Evan.”
It was the beginning of an operation where it was unclear who was going to rescue whom.
