Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 66



The road to Jenny’s bar through the cold morning air.

Lennok’s face frowned slightly as he walked away adjusting the hem of his coat.

‘….It’s already been 10 minutes.’

Someone is following him.

To be precise there is one person who has been secretly following him since he entered Area 49.

The surprising fact is that even with Lennok’s magic detection ability it is not easy to figure out who the other person is.

As he walked Lennok took out a cigar from his arms and quickly lost in thought.

If you think about it the fact that you cannot guess the identity of the other person is not that surprising.

The significance of magical energy detection is that it greatly expands the range of information received by Lennok’s five senses.

There were many ways to block or block the detection itself.

Until now I had used Lennok’s powerful magic control ability to block all such interference so I didn’t feel any regrets.

If the opponent had an artifact or presence blocking ability as powerful as Lennok’s it would not have been unreasonable to interfere with his detection in this way.

Lennok who was chewing a piece of tobacco with an annoyed expression made a decision.

‘It would be better to leave here and go.’

Still today I have to pick up the shotgun I left with Palmer and stop by Jenny’s bar.

I don’t know who the other person is but it seemed necessary to clearly confirm the intention here.

The presence of Lennok who had made up his mind disappeared like smoke from the street in an instant.

Someone who had been following him from behind ran out into the street looking very embarrassed.

He too seemed to have been relying on his magic sense rather than his five senses to track Lennok and was busy turning his head here and there to look for people.

A much more clumsy response than expected. Behavior that does not appear to be particularly hostile.

And above all it is a face that Lennok already knows.

Lennok sighed and walked out from behind placing his hand on the shoulder of the person who was following him.

“omg….!!”

“Weian it’s been a while.”

Lennok said as he lifted the tobacco he was holding.

Wei An a young man who was holding his shoulder and hesitating with an embarrassed expression finally looked up at him with a slightly pale complexion.

Lennok who noticed the trembling eyes opened his mouth and pointed to Jenny’s bar.

“Shall we go inside first and talk?”

a familiar face

Wayan.

As a member of the Crimgall Mercenary Office led by Drei Crimgall he had previously worked with Lennok on an operation to recapture a building against the Scavenger Branch Chief.

Because of the talent he showed at that time and his exceptionally impressive magic sensitivity his face remained relatively clearly in Lennok’s memory.

However I never thought we would meet again in this way.

“Dray got hurt?”

That was the first thing Jenny who was shaking with a stick in her mouth said after hearing Wei An’s explanation.

Jorden who was wiping his drink with a dry towel also turned his head as if he was curious about those words.

“I stopped carrying out the request….”

“For some reason I thought I couldn’t contact you for a while. “Where are you going and who are you getting beaten up by?”

Weian bit his lip and muttered at Jenny’s harsh words.

“…I’ve been in a coma for a week. “I need help.”

“……”

Her mouth fell silent as her condition exceeded her expectations.

Jenny muttered with a shocked expression as Jorden looked at her with a subtly scolding look.

“No I thought there was a bullet hole somewhere.”

“What happened that a mercenary of Dray’s caliber suffered such serious injuries?”

Although quite a bit of time had passed since he had worked with them Lennok still clearly remembered the aspects of the Krimgal Mercenary Office.

In particular Drej Crimgal who led the Crimgal Mercenary Office was impressive in Lennok’s memory because of his considerable operational ability even though he seemed quite young.

Although he had excellent mercenaries under his command the clean work he showed when working with Lennok was enough to leave a good impression.

As a former soldier I tend to approach operations very cautiously and systematically so I thought I would quickly rise to the top but I never thought I would have experienced something like that.

While Lennok and Jenny looked at each other blankly Wei An continued.

“The captain’s injuries are quite fatal so we need to resolve them quickly in some way. “The condition is getting worse.”

“Well it’s only natural if you lose your mind for a week.”

Jenny shrugged her shoulders.

“So why have you been following Ban until now? “You probably didn’t think that if you followed the wizard’s tail he would help you out on his own right?”

“…Of course I have no intention of being so shameless.”

“…….”

“But it’s true that I want to hire Van. “I need the power of a skilled wizard.”

“hmm…..”

It was Jenny not Lennok who was immersed in thought with his chin clenched.

She knew roughly what Lennok was up to and that she didn’t have much time to look elsewhere.

It wouldn’t matter if Wei An’s work was completed quickly but if it took longer than expected Lennok’s original business would also start to suffer.

That’s not what either Lennok or Jenny wants.

“Hey Wei An.”

And in this regard it was definitely her job as a broker to persuade and appease the client and send him away.

“Do you remember how long it has been since you worked with Ban? “It’s probably been over a year right?”

“……..”

“Well you probably saw then how much of a monster Ban is so I won’t bother explaining it to you. However you will understand without me having to tell you how much Ban’s price and reputation have increased at this point.”

“…….I will pay you properly.”

Wei An spoke through gritted teeth but Jenny shook her head.

“That’s not it. I’m just saying that I definitely have an appointment scheduled first. And a freelancer cannot break that promise.”

“The captain’s life is at stake…!!”

When the young man responded without backing down Jenny’s expression naturally turned cold.

“Don’t be mistaken. “Are there just one or two people risking their lives on this floor?”

“……”

“If I live in a place where it’s not strange to fall over at any time and never expect a moment like this I guess I’ve seen people well.”

It must be her nature as a broker to be able to approach everyone in a friendly manner like a friend but also to show such a cold expression when necessary.

A person who can make rational decisions without emotions at important moments.

Regardless of Dray’s sad situation Jenny decided that taking care of Van was more important.

“I’m not saying I won’t accept your request. However it means that some time is needed due to the schedule. “If you’re in a coma in the first place you should go to the hospital. Why are you looking for Ban?”

Wei An glanced at Lennok as her words left no room for any emotion.

After seeing that there was no change in his expression the young man lowered his head and answered.

“I’m cursed. I even took him to a magician but he said he couldn’t find a suitable way. “I thought a talented wizard like you might know something…”

“…Curse?”

“okay. It was a request to deal with an unidentified pillar that appeared near the Scavenger branch… I was directly exposed to the magic flowing from inside and until now….”

Lennok was lost in thought as Wei An could not speak.

The methods of cursing someone especially those with magical powers almost always come down to two methods.

The first is the case of the witch doctor he briefly worked with during his collaboration with Dyke.

The second is a curse that is transmitted through a specific artifact or item as Wei An just mentioned.

In the case of a curse that a witch doctor decides to make through a ritual the principle is difficult and it depends on the person’s compatibility and constitution so it is very difficult to cast it.

Surprisingly adding a curse to an item itself is possible in a variety of magic classes.

To put it in the extreme if Lennok refined his enchantment over a long period of time and granted a burning spell to the person who touched the object that could also be considered a curse.

Therefore by analyzing the magic power at the time of being cursed it is possible to guess what type of magic was used for the curse.

Other mercenaries who are largely illiterate about magic might just think it’s a curse and overlook it but if Lennok’s extremely sensitive magic sensitivity is added–

Ugh..!!

I lightly generated magical power and swept over Wei An’s body in an instant.

If Dray had been next to him when he was cursed there would definitely be traces of it on Wei An’s body.

We capture dismantle and analyze the countless presences and magical powers that are knowingly or unknowingly buried throughout his body.

What makes this possible is probably Lennok’s precise sensitivity as well as his powerful intellect and sharp intuition that allow him to properly see through the received information and find the answer.

And 5 seconds. Lennok frowned faintly as he realized the identity of the magic power stuck near Wei An’s left shoulder.

“……”

“what’s the matter?”

A familiar presence that I also felt at Falmouth Lab.

It was negative magic power.

“It was the work of a warlock.”

“what? But now in the city…”

I know what Jenny is trying to say.

Now that the city government’s inspection has not ended there are almost no black magicians operating properly in the Balkans.

Lennok nodded looking at Jenny who pouted as if she had realized something.

“You’re probably right.”

“…….no way?”

There is only one answer because the Buyeo faction which has just decided to cooperate with the agent cannot do something like this.

The practical faction was playing tricks on the city.

“Where is it?”

“……Area 55. “Near southern underground waterway sluice number 4.”

That amount of information is enough.

Lennok immediately took his coat and stood up.

“Anyway…”

Jenny shook her head as if there was nothing she could do.

Wei An’s face brightens when he realizes that the gesture means approval.

“The curse is not my territory. “Going to Dray won’t help.”

Lennok said taking out a cigarette from his arms.

“But I can break the spell on the item containing the curse and heal it for you.”

Only then did Wei An’s face brighten as he realized the intent of Lennok’s words.

“…….thank you. really.”

If it weren’t for the traces of black magic he mentioned I wouldn’t have come forward but there’s no need to tell Wei An the truth here.

Instead Lennoch chose a different approach that would leave his memory more vivid.

Indifferent eyes look down at Wei An’s face which is heated with excitement.

“You’ve become quite adept at hiding your presence with magical power.”

“Is that so…?”

“You have talent. “Study your strengths better.”

I felt it when we made the request together but Wei An’s magic sensitivity that is the ability to feel magic power and react to it is very developed.

Hiding his identity from Lennok’s magical power detection was probably the result of making full use of that talent.

I don’t know if he knows about the talent he has but if he becomes aware of it and starts using it he will be able to look higher than he is now.

“hmm….”

“and….”

When I turn my head to hear a strange exclamation coming from next to me I feel Jenny and Jorden looking at Lennok with slightly surprised expressions.

Even though Jenny said that it was surprising that even Jorden who was usually undisturbed was making such an expression.

‘Now that I think about it is this the first time you’ve praised someone’s talent in front of others?’

If Lennok who has never expressed much appreciation despite working with high-level freelancers or superhumans suddenly praises Wei An’s talent it would seem that much more impressive.

However on the contrary this is proof that Wei An’s magic sensitivity is at an unusual level in Lennok’s opinion.

If you can catch Lennok’s attention you can probably reach a much higher level than you are now by just holding on to that talent and digging into it properly.

Watching Jenny’s gaze towards Wei An instantly turn kind Lennok smiled and immediately left the bar.

“It’s an underground waterway…..”

I don’t even want to imagine what that damp place would look like in this cold winter but what can I do?

First stop by Palmer’s workshop receive the shotgun and then go in.

Lennok thought so and walked through the crowd.
