Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 177
Vault Search (3)
So far, it was only a judgment based on speculation rather than evidence, but Lennok and Grisha were half convinced.
If the merchant had to hide the safe, it would be difficult to find a better location than this.
The drug lord must have penetrated the gap in the perception that the land was useless and boldly hid his safe on an island owned by the Dominion.
“To say that I was using the Dominion’s land as if it were my own home might not be a lie.”
Grisha’s face naturally turned serious.
Lennox also frowned in silence.
It was a shame because I thought of borrowing the power of the lighthouse keeper, but if it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have wasted time visiting the island designated as private land.
The idea behind the drug lord’s safe was not so creative or ingenious, but it was bold enough to make one question whether he put it into practice.
And that daring action must have come from the confidence that he has a tight grip on this colony of floating islands.
“Let’s get moving right now.”
said Lapis.
At any other time, there would not have been a need for an organizational response, but the situation is different now.
Wherever traces of the drug lord remained, it was necessary to search and find out the source of his power.
“I will contact you as soon as I find out the location of the third view. We will evacuate civilians in the remaining two candidate sites to prepare for the worst.”
* * *
The three people who left the celestial cavity quickly parted ways.
Lapis heads to the ground to meet the other observers, and the two immediately step out of the tower where the wingboat lands.
Sitting in a wing boat placed in a densely wooded area, the two magicians at the wheel immediately flew up into the sky.
The barrier created by astronomical methods opened, and he immediately escaped and turned around.
The goal is 4 floating islands that are within three fingers in size even among floating islands.
It was the location of the old building of the history museum directly under the government of the autonomous region.
“There must be only one reason why Juicemaster hasn’t shown up yet.”
Lennok said while being hit by the updraft blowing from below.
Grisha answered.
“It’s hard to believe that you’re bluffing now. It must be waiting for something while procrastinating.”
“It would be nice if there were any clues related to the drug lord’s safe… … It’s hard to be sure.”
What Lapis can confirm is only the location of the medicinal materials on the collapsed island.
The assumption that there would be a ledger inside the warehouse was reasonable at first glance, but there was always a possibility that things might not go as expected.
The reason why Lapis brought the two sorcerers together was probably to leave the option of taking a different move and getting things done as quickly as possible.
At the same time as the speed of the wingboat was increased, the clouds that filled the sky cleared away and the appearance of four floating islands in the distance began to appear.
As if the overall situation of the Dominion had already been communicated to others, countless wingboats were already flying into the sky beyond the floating island.
Heading towards the island against the wave of wingboats leaving the island with a frightened face.
I could feel countless stares on Lennok’s face, but it was a face I made up anyway.
Lennok ignored the gaze and tried to pass by, but when he saw a familiar face, he stopped the steering wheel for a moment.
“Wait, you… … !!”
Cassia, with a tired complexion, came over with a startled face when she saw Lennok.
No, was it originally named Akasha?
I thought they would still be in the Dominion as they had arrived here from the Balkans, but I never thought I’d run into them in a place like this.
An unexpected reunion in the void. But there was no time for a long conversation.
Looking at Lennok’s calm expression, Akasha seemed to have guessed the situation to some extent.
“… … The road out of the Dominion is completely blocked. Do you know what is going on?”
“well. I’m not sure what’s going on either.”
“What did you say?”
In this situation, even if someone who went backwards through the evacuation procession said something like that, I wouldn’t believe it.
But Lennok didn’t blink an eye and calmly said something else to her.
“It’s probably safe to head towards Floating Island 1. If you can afford it, help others head that way.”
“What is that… … .”
“It won’t be long before the blockages are cleared. We will talk about the details later.”
Lennok evasively flinched and turned the steering wheel of the wingboat, leaving the bewildered Grisha alone.
Although Akasha does not know much about Lennok’s identity, she knows roughly what level he has reached.
At least he wouldn’t take it lightly on what Lennok said. For Lennok, that was enough.
Grisa asked with a puzzled expression.
“1 Floating Island is where the government offices of the autonomous territories are located, right? It seems likely that it has already fallen into the hands of the drug lord.”
“no. Quite the opposite. 1 If the floating island had already fallen into his hands, there wouldn’t have been a need to go through such a troublesome process to activate the barrier… … That means the Government House is likely relatively safe at this point.”
“… … Grisha
blinked at Lennok’s reply without blinking an eye.
“… … One word is plausible. I don’t know what will happen.”
Grisha grumbled like that, but he immediately wrote something on the paper in his arms and sent it flying into the sky.
It was probably intended to tell the lighthouse where the people of the 4 Floating Islands are evacuating.
In the meantime, the wingboat went all the way across the 4 floating islands and headed for an underdeveloped area with a thick forest.
The old building of the Dominion History Museum, which should now be rotting away with dust, forgotten from everyone’s attention.
The building, which was supposed to be nominally managed by the Dominion Government’s antiquities department, was obscured by thick trees and bushes, and was barely visible.
As if someone intentionally created it to hide its appearance.
Looking at the exterior of the museum, dirty and messy like a closed school that had been closed for a long time, Lennok smiled and landed the wingboat on the ground.
“I was trying my best not to be noticed. It’s so careful that people who don’t know about museums wouldn’t even think about it.”
“It’s a perfect place to hide the gaze of wingboats flying high up in the sky. It’s a very suitable place for a safe for a drug lord to hide his medicines.”
While saying that, Grisha dropped the pipe he was holding in his mouth and crushed it with his foot.
Kwajik!
At the same time, the main power flowing from her body formed like water droplets in the air, and a large pupil emerged from the center.
Seeing that bizarre appearance, Lennok’s brow furrowed.
“My taste is nasty.”
“Damn it I can’t help it. I’ve never cared about color magic… … Wouldn’t that be better than nothing?”
Grisha shrugged with an awkward expression.
Lennok reluctantly agreed.
“… … There might be something that is hard to find with magic power detection alone.”
Aside from trusting your own sensing ability, it’s good to be sure of the contrast.
Drunk with pride, he had no intention of forgetting Shili.
As if they had promised, the two magicians naturally spread their distance and began to approach the old museum slowly, gaining strength.
Basically, due to the nature of magicians who are prone to firefights, even if they stick together, they will only get in the way.
At the government building, due to the situation, we had to move together and finish our errands quickly and leave, but now it is different.
Finding the drug warehouse hidden by the drug lord and breaking through head-on.
In addition, didn’t he come all this way to find the clue to the secret he was hiding?
Grisha at the front gate of the old building and Lennok at the back gate enter at the same time.
As soon as I entered the spacious hall, a thick bloody smell ran up my nose.
It was the smell of death.
Lennox let out a small sigh.
“The possibility of a person being alive is… … It looks pretty low.”
[Considering the way he handles corpses, you’re probably right. They seemed to prefer the muscles and flesh of the dead to eating them alive.]
Her voice echoed from the paper amulet Grisha gave her.
A telecommunication tool completed during the brief moment of getting off the wing boat.
He said he wasn’t familiar with scavenger magic, so it took an instant to make such a makeshift magic tool.
No matter how hard Lennok tried, improvising a communication tool like this would be difficult.
In the field of magic, it would be difficult to achieve results unless you thoroughly dig into the endowment-type magic or the crafting-type.
Certainly witchcraft had advantages and disadvantages different from magic, so it was not a technique to be ignored.
The sound of Lennok’s steps echoes across the worn marble floor.
Even though the sun is still in full swing, the scenery of the old building hidden by the bushes is dark.
At one time, there were all sorts of display cases and glass windows, probably displaying various objects and artifacts, but now they are just abandoned and dusty and smashed.
Now, it is a life of being used as a warehouse by a mere criminal while playing freely.
And it seemed self-evident that the staff who had been dispatched to manage the museum had not been in good shape.
-Catch up… … !!
A noise like a rat croaking.
But at the same time, the fishy smell rushing in reveals the fact that it is not just a beast.
A shadow staggering in the dark, scattering sticky slime.
Did Grisha see something similar from the front door?
A low sigh resounded from the communications court.
[It’s already late.]
“Yes.”
Lennok replied calmly.
“They are all dead.”
-Keeeeeeeeeeeee!!
A monster in human form broke through the darkness and attacked Lennok.
The skeleton of the face is swollen, the features are crushed, and the blood vessels throughout the body protrude as if they are going to explode, and they are swollen like a bluish.
Almost all of the hairs on the skin were lost, sparsely proving that it was the scalp.
The approaching flesh, dripping mucus mixed with blood and saliva, lunged at Lennok.
There was no trace of intelligence left in its screaming eyes.
It’s an ironic statement, but Lennok was a little amazed at the sight.
It was absolutely absurd that drugs alone could ruin a person this much.
Juice Master. Dominic Cavaro.
There was no doubt that he was more suited to the name of drug lord than anyone else.
Pajijiji!!
[Volt]
Kwaaaang!!
A blue electric current burst out from between Lennok’s fingers, and at the same time, the chunk of flesh he was charging at exploded.
It seems to be alive and moving, but it is no longer human.
It was just that the energy of the medicine mixed with the dead body was creating a monster.
Starting with that, well over dozens of pieces of flesh from across the hallway began to rush towards Lennok.
It’s a meaningless outburst, but they don’t even know that it’s meaningless.
I just reach out my hand of blind longing toward the life that comes to life in front of my eyes.
All I can say is that this fleshy barrier is really bizarre, if that’s the taste of drug lords.
There are undoubtedly more strange and powerful monsters lurking in the Pandemonium.
Even then, will Lennok be able to accept reality as resolutely as he is now?
It was something I couldn’t be sure of.
If you can’t become strong, you won’t even be able to choose where you die.
I had to work harder and struggle harder than I do now.
No matter how meticulously prepared and carefully moved, the current incident could happen at any time.
Even if the shadow of death fell on Lennok’s neck at any moment, he must have the strength to deal with it.
This job was just the beginning.
[Chain Lightning]
Pajijijik!!!
The thick electric shocks that came out in bundles between the five fingers split into dozens and rippled like waves.
– Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
– Kkeueek!!
It doesn’t end once, it doesn’t stop until all the flesh is burned and evaporated.
The endlessly spinning chain of lightning that circled around Lennok like a living creature was already outside the yoke of ordinary magic.
Common magic that Lennok first started using.
It may be a little less powerful than the original magic, but it was the result of repeated improvements so that it could be used in practice.
Wow Jangchang!!
The raid doesn’t end with one shot.
All the deformed species that had been hiding by clinging to the broken glass or the ceiling of the display case came out and attacked Lennok at once.
In an instant, waves of flesh swell in the spacious corridors of the old building.
Roaring!!
The embers that fell from the tip of Lennok’s tobacco grew explosively and turned into a huge barrier of flame.
-Keeek!!
– Kkeueek!! Hehe!!
How many people did he lure into these abandoned ruins and use them as test subjects?
It seemed that the museum had not been acquired simply to use it as a safe.
Lennok narrowed his eyes as he watched the monsters, like moths, rush into the wall of fire and burn themselves.
‘I think I’ve seen it somewhere… … .’
The scent of magical power exhaled by heterogeneous species as they die.
That is clearly proof that the effect of the medicine and some kind of magic work in combination.
Even though you know that for sure, you can’t remember what kind of magic this spell is.
The feeling of deja vu was rather suspicious, and Lennok couldn’t stop thinking about it.
[The monsters near the front door have been cleaned up. Go to the central corridor. That one?]
“… … This one is almost finished. Let’s sort it out quickly.”
We haven’t found the safe yet, but after locating the museum, it’s only a matter of time.
Lennok, who created a shock wave with magical power and pushed away the rest of the heterogeneous species, immediately crossed the hallway covered with mucus
