Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 125
Exploration team (1)
Jenny’s expression hardened as she understood Lennok’s words at once.
“You mean you’re being followed?”
“I almost certainly caught up with him when he switched lanes twice and turned southeast.”
A life reaction that can be clearly captured in the sensory sphere through magical power.
Compared to the other civilians in the area, that sign that shined especially brightly was proof that the opponent was by no means an ordinary person.
Superman with magical powers. They are also very skilled.
“Front and back. And one approaching in the lower lane. You’ll catch up sooner or later.”
“……I’m not very confident in driving.”
Jenny muttered that, but without hesitation, she immediately pressed her right foot.
As soon as he heard Lennok’s words, he immediately began to speed up to avoid the pursuit.
Boaaaaang!!
Along with the feeling of the car body sinking low, the surrounding scenery began to change into lines in an instant.
The wind coming in through the slightly open window is very stinging.
Lennok frowned as he confirmed the speeding opponent from beyond the invisible sensory sphere.
“…You’re late.”
Aaaaaaang!!
At the same time, three jeeps smashed the guardrails from the front and rear and attacked the sports car at the same time.
“Fuck…..!!”
Jenny spits out low curse words and turns the steering wheel.
At the same time, the car tilted to the left and skidded leaving long scratches on the pavement.
I narrowly avoided the headlights of a jet-black jeep and passed by.
Kiki profit!!
Contrary to the fact that she is not a good driver, Jenny’s hand movements are surprisingly calm.
I bent the steering wheel until I was on the verge of falling, and then, with exquisite balance, I steered again and sprinted down the empty road in an instant.
Realizing that they couldn’t block the road by a narrow margin, the jeeps roared their engines in unison and chased this way.
Tatatatatatang!!
Chasers shooting in this direction while clinging to the door of a running car.
Jenny instinctively shook her head, but Lennok realized that they weren’t aiming to destroy the body, but to blow out the tires.
“Turn the steering wheel!!”
Even in the midst of his mind, Jenny twists the body of the car to avoid being shot.
However, the opponent started to press using completely different means when the shooting did not go well.
Roaring!!
Jenny, who witnessed the fireball falling down in front of her eyes, opened her mouth wide.
Lennok raised his mana in his arms.
“Dabi.”
Pajijijik…!!
[Has confirmed. As of this time, the driving control authority is taken over and operation is started.
]
Right after that, the steering wheel that Jenny was holding starts to move wildly in a completely different way than before.
tutu tutu!!
The front of the car body deliberately slammed into the guardrail and twisted once with the reaction.
Bulletproof bullets and all sorts of spells that momentarily miss the movement of a sports car running in the opposite direction as if it were being bounced off.
It doesn’t look like it’s going to kill you, but it’s a fierce offensive that doesn’t seem to have any intention of letting it go.
However, Darby’s driving skills, which began to learn autonomous driving AI data, were of a completely different kind than they expected.
Fighting!!
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
After putting the wheels at an angle on the lane leading to the outskirts of the road, tilt the body to one side and start running.
Jenny screamed at the danger of falling out of the outer lane at any moment.
At the same time, sparks flew from the wheels of the sports car and the car body flipped sharply to the left.
Whoa!!
Everyone opened their mouths at the sight of a bright red sports car rolling two and a half laps in the air and falling down the existing upper lane.
If you land incorrectly, the engine will be destroyed and the car will explode at a height that is not unusual.
However, the body, which flipped over while spinning around, began to run down the lane without slowing down at all as the four wheels contacted with an exquisite gap.
“Ban, did you know how to use magic like this?!”
“What happened?”
As Lennok replied, he tilted his senses backwards without being vigilant.
It would be perfect if I could evade the pursuit like this, but considering that level of persistence and preparation, it doesn’t end here—-
Aaaaaaaaa!!
Kiyi Profit!!
A huge rock blocking the entire four-lane road fell in front of my eyes, completely destroying the road.
No matter how familiar Davi was with automatic driving, he had no choice but to step on the brakes when the road was completely destroyed.
Lennok clicked his tongue low, realizing that this brief gap was exactly the moment the pursuers wanted.
The moment they failed to dodge this boulder, the chase was over.
“…This is the first time I’ve ever received a greeting like this.”
Goooooong…
A rock digging under the road while making a heavy sound. It wasn’t hard to guess how much it weighed.
“It won’t end once and for all. Can you protect this car for a minute?”
The moment she realized that she couldn’t run away any longer, Jenny’s expression turned cold.
Although she was faithful to the role of a broker who always stood one step away from the scene and watched, Jenny perfectly maintained her rationality even at the moment when danger came to her own body.
She quickly took out her cell phone from her arms and started making calls here and there.
“Ask for support from a nearby acquaintance and let’s dive right in. Fortunately, you prevented the body from being damaged, so if you run away right away to the side of the road…”
“It’s late.”
“what?”
Instead of answering, Lennok stood up from the passenger seat without a word.
Dozens of signs caught in the sharp sense of magical power.
It is not a level that is approaching quickly. It had already reached this area and was completely surrounded.
“Don’t get out of the car.”
After saying that, Lennok opened the car door and walked out.
At the same time, it generated magical power and used various enchantments on Jenny’s sports car to overlap shield and security magic.
It should be able to prevent you from being swept away by the aftermath of a battle.
While I took out a cigarette from my arms and lit it, someone slowly appeared on the other side of the collapsed road through the late night fog.
After checking the face of the man standing at the front of the group, Lennok let out a blank laugh.
“I was wondering… I really didn’t know it was that way.”
“Do you know me?”
“Are you pretending not to know now? It would be embarrassing to make such a fuss in the VIP seats and then pretend.”
“………”
The blond man kept his mouth shut with Lennok’s sharp words.
The member of the Arashak Ruins Exploration Team, who had been kicked out after arguing with an old gentleman in the VIP seats on the third floor of the auction house, was right here.
It was a situation that could not be understood by common sense, but Lennok immediately grasped the context and sighed.
“It was all acting from the beginning. It was he who put the Archangel’s Compassion on the auction house.”
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“Using the death of Irina Pesfield as bait, he caused a commotion in the auction house and tried to steal something while he was looking away… And the moment that operation failed, he caused a blackout in the auction house and left immediately.”
At Lennok’s words, the other members of the expedition team standing behind the man flinched.
It was because the casually muttered words pierced their minds so easily.
“Instead of withdrawing from there, if we had rather pursued and attacked this side, wouldn’t there be only one conclusion we can think of?”
Lennok grinned as he blew smoke from his cigarette.
“You’ve come a long way to meet Yakseon.”
“……..”
“Someone from the expedition team needs to be treated by a top-notch clinician. And if you think about the rumors you heard at the auction house, who it is is also decided.”
Lennok took out the talisman of medicine from his bosom and shook it slightly.
The members of the exploration team tried not to show it, but they couldn’t stop their eyes from turning to the amulet.
“Comrades running around in every way for the sick captain… It’s a tearful story.”
The story is simple if the artifact ‘Archangel’s Compassion’ appeared as a genuine item at the auction house and what the exploration team is aiming for is a talisman to meet the medicine.
Irina Pesfield is not dead, but has been severely injured by some incident, and they are looking for a way to treat her.
If you’ve come this far and keep your mouth shut, it’s not prudent, it’s just a stupid fool.
Realizing that there was no point in hiding any longer, the man struggled to open his mouth.
“You are right.”
“……Vice commander!”
The young man, who had just taken off his boyish clothes, freaked out and grabbed the man’s shoulder, but the man shook his hand away with a stern expression.
“Stay still, Miles. What’s the point of hiding it now?”
“But if you reveal this fact, the captain will…”
“It can’t be helped.”
The man resolutely shook off the young man’s arm and strode forward.
“This is the only way to heal the captain’s wounds.”
A man approaching, sweeping his short blonde hair, looked at Lennok, who was smoking.
“Originally, there would be no problem as long as you get a talisman of medicine from the auction house. I never thought the appraisers at the auction house would have left it on the first floor shelf without recognizing its value, but it was a good thing for us.”
“………”
“In order to prepare for any situation, I even brought an archangel’s compassion and even staged a childish self-made play to draw attention, but I never thought that someone would steal the item before the bidding was over. ”
Unable to control the corners of his mouth that trembled with anger, the man spoke.
“It’s a job well suited to this filthy, filthy city.”
Lennox understood the man’s feelings to some extent.
I thought I was fully prepared to get my hands on the thing I wanted and went into the operation, but what is the feeling when things go wrong due to unimaginable variables.
Even if the item was not receiving much attention from others, the feeling of collapse would be doubled.
No one in this room would have thought that Liam’s little favor would return in this way.
The man took a deep breath and murmured.
“Give me the talisman of medicine. I will give anything I can give.”
“……”
Lennok focused on smoking in silence. As if to keep talking.
“It would be great if it could end in a clean transaction. It is enough to pretend that everything that has happened has not happened and go our separate ways. That woman over there busy on the phone in the car can finish it without a single wound. Aren’t they nice to each other?”
“………”
“I’ll give you any amount of money. Isn’t it the same as stealing things in some way anyway? If it’s not specifically to meet the medicine, I’d prefer to be compensated in cash.”
“Are you done with what you want to say?”
Lennok brushed off the ashes from the beginning of the year and adjusted the collar of his coat.
His rough fingertips trembled slightly in the cold night air.
The man, who eventually could not stand his relaxed attitude, asked.
“…I don’t know what the hell you want to hear. Do you want an apology for our approach in a radical way? If that’s the case, I can do anything. Please give us a chance to heal the leader…!!”
As he said that, he knelt down and bowed his head.
The members of the other exploration team standing behind each made a different expression on his face, but they did not stop the man.
That means that saving the leader of the expedition, Irina Pesfield, is important to them.
“Director Irina is a competent and indispensable person in the excavation of ruins, enough to receive an official request for cooperation from the Balkan city government. It’s absurd that someone with such a talent should die from an accidental injury! please..!! I can do anything you want!!”
A man’s scream to the point of despair.
But Lennok did not raise an eyebrow.
“If I say that, I sound like a villain with no blood or tears.”
“I never thought of that…”
“What’s your name?”
“……Brooke. It’s Brooke Powell.”
“Brooke. Have all the people who are supposed to be gathering now gathered?”
“what?”
“You’re bringing people together in this area while talking nonsense. Do you think I’ve been hearing that nonsense all this time because I didn’t know that?”
Upon hearing Lennok’s words, Brooke’s expression is really confused, as if she doesn’t know anything.
But Lennok smiled and pointed at the other teammates standing behind him.
“You have great acting skills, but the guys standing behind you can’t manage their facial expressions. Still don’t know?”
“What is that…!”
Brooke reacted casually and turned her head away, but at that moment Brooke realized she had fallen for Lennok’s pun and clicked her tongue.
I turned my head because I didn’t trust the members of the same exploration team in the first place.
Because it had just added confidence to Lennok’s words.
Lennok laughed as he checked the approaching signs with his vast magical powers that covered a radius of several kilometers.
“Twenty… no, about thirty. Since the amount of magic power is insignificant, it seems that other freelancers have been hired to block the escape route. They say they don’t know much about this city, and what they’re doing is insidious.”
“It was just a measure to properly share the story. As much as we really need that stuff. The desire to save the leader is not a lie.”
Brooke was quick to retort, but Lennok wasn’t interested in those excuses.
At the point of realizing that what they were aiming for was a talisman of medicine, there could never be a transaction.
“Are you going to admit it only if I explain it verbally?”
“What the hell is that…!”
Lennok cut off Brooke’s protest with a single knife.
“It’s obvious why other talented healers are looking for a medicine that never reveals a patient’s secret. Is it because Irina Pesfield’s injury is the kind of thing that should never be revealed, or there are circumstances that shouldn’t be disclosed to the outside anyway.”
“……”
“The entire auction house was thrown into chaos in order to meet such a drug… You say you’re sending us back intact now?”
It was hard to bear and listen to that ridiculous lie.
Lennok looked back at the members of the expedition team with a cold sneer.
“I had no choice but to kill him from the beginning and stop his mouth, but his snout is too long.”
Brooke’s expression, which seemed to know nothing, suddenly became cold and stiff.
