Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 181
Design (2)
Lapis nodded at Lennok’s words.
“you’re right. Our observers and magicians who came from outside for sightseeing are helping, but the situation is not good.”
“What is the Dominion military doing? You won’t be saving yourself in this situation.”
The one who answered Grisha’s words was Seon Seon, the observer who was leaning on the window behind Lapis.
“Most of the military forces, including battleships, are on the march to destroy the barriers installed throughout the Dominion. At this point, they can’t be contacted, and they say it’s difficult to approach the floating island from the outskirts of the Dominion due to the sudden strong updraft.”
“This is absurd timing. Do you think all of this is a coincidence?”
“It can’t be.”
She shook her head with a cold face.
Lapis responded instead.
“Among the high-ranking officials, it is said that there are a few who supervised rain ceremonies that strengthened the updraft. Perhaps one of them made all of this in time after colluding with the drug lord’s side… … .”
“After all, the only power that can calm this situation now is the watchers at the lighthouse and the outsiders who haven’t fallen for the drug lord.”
Even so, there is no doubt that he is a really great man to be able to design all this on the other side of the continent thousands of kilometers away.
Even judging from the conversation he had with the drug lord at the time, he was not aware that the eyes of Cheong, including Lapis, had returned to the lighthouse.
In other words, he created such a perfect encirclement on the spot with his base forces laid in the Dominion.
Was it sheer luck that I was able to design all of this, or was it because of my vast vision as a businessman looking into the absurdly distant future.
Perhaps the view he sees at the end of all these plans is so great that others cannot easily guess.
The other observers also had dark complexions, perhaps feeling similar emotions, even if they couldn’t grasp the whole situation.
“Clean up the situation.”
Grisha said while chewing on his pipe.
“In order to prevent the deviant species from appearing throughout the Dominion, almost all of the watchers remaining at the lighthouse are vacant. However, at this point where we don’t know where these heterogeneous species are coming from, we have to dig up the tricks of the Juice Master to solve the problem once and for all.”
coo!!
“And Evan said this monster would know the answer. Can you explain what you’re guessing now?”
It was only then that the eyes of the others focused on the two men that Griya had put down.
“These people are conscious, but they are drooling.”
“Are you twins? The reason I have to bring him alive is… … .”
Lennok nodded while looking at Lapis instead of replying with a katabuta.
“It would be nice to see it with your own eyes and talk about it. Check it.”
It was an urgent situation, but instead of vomiting at Lennok’s words, Lapis immediately opened his eyes to the ability of a thousand dogs and looked down at the man.
“This… … .”
It didn’t take long before she caught her breath and turned her gaze to Lennok.
“Evan knew that. It is not a creature.”
“What does that mean?”
Lapis answered Sunshine’s words.
“It looks like it is alive and intelligent, but it has a completely different look from the human body composition. There is not even a trace of the metabolism that a creature should be doing on a basic basis.”
“To put it mildly, this is more like a golem. That means… … .”
After saying that, she turned her gaze to Lennok as if she had suddenly realized the correct answer.
Lennok responded accordingly.
“that’s right. Juice Master intends to use the homunculus to reveal himself to the Dominion.”
From here, you have to choose your words carefully.
The important thing is to convince everyone that the technology used by the drug lord is an ancient formula called alchemy and its characteristics.
It was necessary to explain how Lennok came to know about it.
The explanation didn’t take long.
Everyone was easily convinced that a man the size of a drug lord had spent a lot of money to obtain an ancient spell.
In addition, those who confirmed that the flesh of the homunculus that Lennok scraped off turned into sticky black slime did not even doubt Lennok’s words.
“Right… … If you used that technique, I can understand the origins of the heterogeneous species that are now spreading throughout the Dominion.”
“Perhaps, after scratching the flesh of the homunculus like this beforehand and storing it separately, they released it into the floating island’s water supply pipe or reservoir water source, causing massive damage, right?”
“It really is like the devil’s medicine… … Did you mean that you were mass-producing such nonsensical things with the money you earned from selling drugs?”
The other observers around them also began to mutter with shocked faces.
Aside from the fact that the drug lord’s notoriety is widespread across the continent, it seems that this is the first time he has personally realized how he tames his enemies.
“If you think about it in relation to the huge mass of flesh that Evan-sama and Grisha-sama faced in the basement of the government building, a conclusion has been drawn.”
Lapis declared with a cold expression.
“Dominic Cavaro plans to use this homunculus to transfer not only his voice, but also his entire consciousness. The fact that there was no response after robbing the entire safe means that something important is waiting for you to wait… … .”
“that… … .”
“At least he wasn’t lying about coming to the Dominion himself.”
Only then did the watchers, who realized the hidden meaning of Lapis’s words, begin to see an eerie tension on their faces.
The fact that they secretly infiltrated Philenom while they were away from the lighthouse is terrifying in itself, but the fact that they were enemies who were bold and bold enough to throw away all their bases just to earn time made my whole body freeze.
But Lennok knew that if it hadn’t been this perfectly timed, he would never have faced the drug lord.
At the time of collaboration with the old Dyke Corporation, he directly caught and killed Paul Ackerman, who was one of the drug lord’s subordinates at the port in District 49, but he did not even react.
It means that you are making efforts to thoroughly exclude the crisis that is coming from you from the beginning.
This thorough disposition may have contributed to making him the current colossus… … Wrong now.
When Lennok realized that the technique he was using was the Alchemy of the First World, the gap in information was as if it did not exist.
After learning that the drug lord obtained alchemy in some way, Lennok succeeded in deducing the whole story, albeit roughly.
And even how he was going to fly to the other side of this continent thousands of miles away.
The moment he intuition reached that point, Lennok roughly figured out how to solve this problem.
‘All that’s left is to move Cheong’s eyes and open the plate… … It would be impossible without this woman’s help.’
Lennok thought that far and glanced at Grisha.
Other observers don’t mind helping to sort out this chaotic situation, but Grisha is absolutely necessary for Lennok’s plan.
Lennok, who had made up his mind to that point, opened his mouth slowly.
“I can guess where the drug lord is hiding the homunculus.”
“… … what?”
Grisha turned his face away.
The other observers also turned their eyes to him in unison.
Lennok, ignoring the stares, reached out his hand toward the map in front of him.
“He couldn’t afford to make a homunculus elsewhere and move it here. If so, we need to find a place that has already escaped our awareness while being large enough to hide the infrastructure capable of building a homunculus.”
“then… … !”
The pupils of the other observers widened as Lennok confirmed the location marked on the map.
“Nonsense… … . You mean you’re so close?”
“If that’s true, I’m glad they evacuated people in advance.”
“Certainly, it was for this moment that evacuation orders were issued by designating floating islands 2 and 3… … ?”
“Check the medicine storage management ledger found in the drug lord’s warehouse. Among the places where medicinal materials were taken out, this place is probably included.”
Just as he had said, Lapis exclaimed when he found the place Lennok said in the ledger.
“okay. There is definitely overlapping information.”
“It was completely similar to the way they occupied the old building of the History Museum. Were you predicting the drug lord’s behavior?”
“I guessed to some extent.”
Lennok said that and looked at Lapis.
“You’re right. Aside from finding out where the drug kingpin is preparing what, it’s already impossible to completely block his tricks.”
“that… … .”
“Even if I were to pour all my power into the blue eye right now, wouldn’t he have prepared for that? On the contrary, it’s not strange at all if it just wastes time.”
“Quickly go over the essentials.”
Unlike usual, a stiff tone of voice. She understood why Lennok would blow the candle after giving the correct answer himself.
“Is there any other way you want?”
“I have a plan. And you need to be prepared.”
“… … .”
“I hope all observers will cooperate with me for the process.”
So said Lennok, and quickly explained the plan he had conceived to the observers.
To be precise, the only trick I came up with was to catch the drug lord right here.
A gambler who strikes the natural affinity between alchemy and homunculus.
However, it is an extreme solution that he can never do alone.
Silence passed.
There was no one in this room who did not understand what Lennok was saying.
If Lennok’s guess is wrong, or if things don’t go according to his plan, the Blue Eye will blow all the strength of the organization in vain.
However, it was persuading them that it was neither an improbable story nor an impossible thing.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Lapis again.
Very slowly, her mouth opened.
* * *
Courtyard of the lighthouse.
The few remaining wingboats are vacant.
With only the minimum number of people left to maintain the astronomical ceremony at the lighthouse, all observers begin the operation.
Lennok said to Grisha, who remained with a complicated expression and looked up at the sky.
“It is something only you can do. Can I leave it to you?”
Asking for someone’s cooperation in battle itself is quite awkward for Lennok, but this must also be a process he has to adapt to.
A magician like Grisha could entrust him with tasks that Lennok could not do.
That means that it is possible to directly implement operations that Lennok could not even dare to think of originally.
But Lennok was convinced.
The secret of the updraft that I observed while going to and from the Dominion.
The reason for the existence of floating island colonies.
And if you think of the astronomical formula used in the lighthouse –
you can definitely sink the drug lord’s consciousness to the bottom of the sea here.
Grisha’s mouth, which had been hardened, opened.
“Was it for this moment that you deliberately spoke to Lapis and got an answer from him?”
“… … .”
Lennok didn’t deny it.
Grisha looked up at the sky without a word.
“If you think about it, maybe it was for this moment that the old woman left a message for you… … .”
she muttered blankly.
A clear focus returned to Grisha’s eyes, who seemed to be searching for distant memories.
“Tell me what I need to do. I don’t care, as long as I can feed that fiendish bastard.”
“… … .”
It was a bit uncomfortable to hear the drug dealer, but Lennok endured it.
What I had to do from now on was so difficult that it couldn’t even be compared to that.
