Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 182

Plant(1)

3 floating islands.

Known as the largest floating island, except for the 1st floating island where the government office is located, this is the most commercially developed area among the floating islands of the Philenom Autonomous Territory.

Various artifacts and magic tools. And this place, where unique items are bought, sold, and produced, is the place where many magicians visiting from outside visit the most, and

at the same time, it is also the area where the most plants that grow medicinal materials are located.

It is not a good environment for residents to hide because it is full of farms with nowhere to hide and a developed commercial district.

Therefore, all the residents of the 3 Floating Islands have long since fled to other islands.

Lennok was the only one who stepped back into the deserted streets of the market.

Shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

fufufufufufu!!

The sound of explosions from fierce battles on other floating islands can be heard from here.

It doesn’t end with simply catching and killing heterogeneous species.

Heterogeneous species will continue to occur unless the source of the drug mixed in the water supply pipe is identified and the water source is purified.

Lennok walked the empty streets without a single person.

The items on the shelves were scattered in a mess, as if they had escaped in a hurry after doing business until just before.

Considering the heterogeneous species that appeared while Lennok was rummaging through the drug lord’s warehouse, the lighthouse’s decision to evacuate people was absolutely correct, but even so, the human and material damage would be considerable.

But now was not the time to settle such losses.

In her arms, Dabi stuck out her head.

[Are you okay?]

“What do you mean?”

[If that plan goes according to plan, the pandemonium will stand out unconditionally.]

It seemed that he had listened to all the plans explained to Grisha, clinging to the archangel’s compassion.

I thought she had no interest in what was going on around her, but Darby’s behavior was surprising.

Lennox smiled and tried to tell her what he was thinking, but then stopped.

Darby is not a simple spirit, but a brain spirit born through necromancy and algorithmic data.

Perhaps this question and answer was also a necessary process for her to grow into something more than a spirit.

“That’s why I’ve been waiting for the time to use this face.”

Instead, Lennok smiled and patted his cheek.

“There was a reason why everyone around me was bitten. After all, in order to perfectly pass the risk of failure, you should not arouse suspicion.”

Darby looked up at Lennok’s face and exclaimed as if he had just realized it.

[…] … Oh, I see. sorry. Since the Master’s face changes so often, he just doesn’t remember it.]

“… … It’s one of the most shocking confessions I’ve ever heard.”

[If you remember the master’s soul, wouldn’t it matter?]

“Soul?”

Lennok laughed.

Only because it is Darby who is directly connected to him, he can bring out these words.

Ordinary souls are the kind of things that are not recklessly convinced of their existence, even in this world where magic is extremely developed.

The mind is influenced by the body, and memory is a part of the body.

Then, does a human truly have a soul?

Although there is a technique that deals with spirits called necromancy, it is nothing more than bringing the salt of life when targeting humans.

But before this world even began.

In the first world Lennok remembered, someone had already answered the question.

The body and spirit function as separate beings, and through the materialization of the mind and consciousness – the

long-cherished consciousness of pursuing immortality.

From the moment I became aware of the keyword, alchemy, old memories come to mind little by little.

Moments of passing time in front of the monitor without any worries.

Was it because I hadn’t forgotten the longing of those days that I was able to recall the memories related to him, albeit this late?

Lennok decided not to ponder for long.

The only thing that mattered was the fact that the memories of those days that filled his head would decide the outcome of this event.

Lennok’s steps stopped as he passed through the agony that resonated in his heart and the desolate street.

“You’re all here.”

It’s been three days since we visited again.

Evening sunset as the sun begins to set.

The twilight that dyes the whole sky red is dangerously swimming across the surface of the water as if it would disappear at any moment.

boundary between day and night. At this moment, only the shadows of enemies approaching from afar shimmer.

Isn’t this the perfect time to hide each other’s identity?

Looking at the vast, empty plant, Lennok thought so.

Even three days ago, only traces of wild trees that had dried up and died were full of plant farms where dozens of sorcerers were busy running around.

Lennok, who was walking among the wilted saplings, suddenly noticed the traces of his own hand and slowly lowered his back.

Compared to other seedlings, it still has vitality, but it stumbles as if it has only a few days left to live.

Is it a characteristic of wild trees that sucked so much vitality in just three days, or… … .

“It’s a face I remember.”

A gruff voice came from behind.

An old man with a hunched back stood with a grim expression on Lennok’s face.

“I thought he said he had nothing to give you, but he couldn’t stand the bird and came back.”

“… … ”

“What good. It won’t mean anything now.”

Lennok slowly straightened his back and rose from his seat.

The old man snorted at him, then turned around and started walking.

A completely different attitude than when I saw Lennok before, when I was full of goodwill.

But it’s not strange.

Right now, Lennok’s face was completely covered with Weizen’s smooth face.

The reason why he had to hold on to Weizen and observe his magic all night was not simply to get rid of his unique magic.

After confirming the movements of the mana patterns that he possessed, Lennoch succeeded in completely disguising himself with Weizen.

It’s the first time I’ve ever disguised myself as someone who already exists, but judging from the old man’s reaction, it seemed like it worked perfectly.

And this identity will be of great help to Lennok in dealing with what will happen from now on.

He continued talking while following the old man.

“Everyone else has left the floating island. What are you doing here?”

“joy… … What is happening in the Dominion right now is not my part-time job.”

The old man snorted and replied.

“Those who are busily running around the sky right now will solve it somehow. I will defend my farm.”

If you listen to his words, he seems like an old man with a bad personality who is focused only on his own work.

But Lennok smiled and shook his head.

“It’s not like that.”

“… … what?”

“Isn’t the reason why you can’t leave here right now because this is the starting point for all of this?”

“… … .”

“I heard all the facts from Qing’s eyes and realized the truth. Please calm down now.”

As Lennok said, he added his last guess.

“execution.”

The old man was silent.

Even the staggering steps, the waist that was hunched over, are nowhere to be seen.

In an instant, the old man, who was about the same height as Lennok, turned around and muttered.

“Don’t call me that way.”

Patter!!

The old man’s face melted, revealing a familiar face within.

The wall of the government building.

A red-haired young man I met late at night. While asking where Weizen was, he stood in front of Lennok.

“Because I have no intention of calling you the death penalty.”

“Isn’t that important right now?”

Lennox shrugged.

“The important thing is to see what is happening underground in this plant right now.”

The moment I confirmed that the plant manager’s name on the warehouse ledger and the officially known old man’s name were different, I was already thinking about it to some extent.

To think that he, who had invaded the government building in search of Weizen, backed off meekly after hearing that he had only confirmed Weizen’s appearance at the plant.

Still, the reason why the young man accepted Lennok’s words on the spot and went back must be because he really wasn’t very interested in who the culprit was.

The young man was just making people here and there to prove his actions that he was looking for a priest.

“… … .”

“If you don’t want to answer, let me guess.”

Receiving the expressionless young man’s gaze, he continued.

“Aren’t you making drugs? A drug so powerful and lethal that it could tamper with the entire body of a living human being. Otherwise, we cannot explain the existence of heteromorphic species that are currently disrupting the Dominion.”

Lennok’s time in the Dominion wasn’t very long, but the things that happened in between were no coincidence.

The first moment of suspicion was the moment Lapis confirmed this plant through a relationship.

At the time, I thought it was simply because I had brought basil mushrooms, but I passed it on, but thinking about it, there were more than one or two things that bothered me.

“You made too many mistakes. The time has come to pay the price.”

I still remember the words of the old man who confirmed Lennok’s talent at the plant.

Didn’t you say that you like talented people and want to entrust them with a few jobs?

In addition, great sponsors are supporting the plant.

It could have been simply overlooked, but if you think about the story in connection with the circumstances of the drug lord, everything fits.

Talented magicians were needed because they needed ‘ingredients’ for alchemy.

The reason why he was sponsoring this plant was to prepare a place to unfold a consciousness of softness.

“When I robbed his warehouse, there was one strange thing. The warehouse, which is supposed to be full of things needed to manufacture drugs… … It was full of very normal and ordinary medicinal materials. Why did they select and store only the safe medicinal materials? When I thought about it, the answer came.”

Simple.

The drug lord had a combination recipe that could make drugs by combining such ordinary and ordinary herbs.

And the combination method must have been a way to use the alchemy of the first world to combine new medicines with completely different rules from those of this world.

It is understandable under this conjecture that the drugs he used were different from ordinary drugs.

The power of alchemy, which twists and turns while skipping two worlds, has already gone beyond human duty.

And a place where it is easy to store and handle such medicinal materials in the most natural way, but it is also not awkward in the eyes of other magicians.

The drug lord had the audacity to turn one of the Dominion’s largest plants into operation as his drug factory.

Lennok borrowed Weizen’s face and made a mockery. The arrogant sneer that matched that face came out without adding or subtracting.

“The one hiding under the Dominion’s plant and operating the drug factory was actually the magician of the Blaver Mage Tower’s army… … That’s something a passing dog would laugh at. I never thought I’d become a drug lord’s dog while I couldn’t see it. I have always admired the death penalty in my own way.”

“Did you respect me?”

The young man was the first to respond to those words.

“There are degrees of lying. What do you think will change if you, who suffered from an inferiority complex under me all your life, now come and laugh at me?”

“… … .”

“But this must be my mistake. I didn’t know that a half-mage like you would catch me. I should have found you back then and kept my mouth shut.”

As he turned and took a step forward toward Lennok, a fire broke out.

Magical power so heavy that even Lennok could not be underestimated instantly shook the surroundings and resounded.

Roaring!!

The flames wrapped around his legs and spread out in all directions in an instant, creating a huge wave of flame.

In an instant, the withered saplings of wild trees burn and disappear and turn to ashes.

The young man who turned the ground into a sea of fire in an instant glared at Lennok and said.

“There’s no way you can understand, living intoxicated by your own superficial talents. The despair of the moment when the decisive inspiration to rise to a higher place is exhausted. Do you know the moment of awakening that does not come no matter how hard you try?”

“… … .”

“I have been searching for a resonance that will answer me for a very long time. In the end, I came out after realizing that it didn’t exist inside the Mage Tower. And I realized.”

As the young man said that, he took out a bag of powdered medicine from his bosom.

“I know that great inspiration doesn’t always come in noble or clean ways… … .”

He skillfully opens the medicine bag and sticks his nose in it without hesitation.

The dry young man’s expression slowly distorted and he tilted his head back.

“ha… … .”

What appeared on his face was a strange, disgusting feeling of ecstasy.

Only then did Lennok realize why the young man had done this.

“It’s an idea that would be difficult for a sane person to try. You mean you started dabbling in drugs for your own fulfillment?”

“… … What a surprise… … Isn’t it?”

The young man answered in a distinctly slow tone.

“You too… … I was looking for a flame plant to strengthen that humble magic… … .”

“… … .”

“If you think about it… … From there, things went awry. Ever since you insisted on coming to my business trip… … Things started to go strangely. He suddenly told me to stop producing drugs and start something new. Uhhhh… … Thanks to this… … It’s all thanks to you. It’s my vice.”

As his tongue twisted, the magic power flowing from his body also began to twist rapidly.

As the energy of the medicine stirs in the head, the entire consciousness and images are twisted and changed.

As the magician’s will changed, his flame, which was embodied externally, also rapidly changed color.

The flames of the young man, which had been tinged with deep scarlet, changed to a strange fluorescent light that violated the vision and began to emit a terrible stench.

Lenok shook his head after confirming how much he was twisting and squeezing his mind, even the neatly refined magic pattern was being altered.

It must have been that he turned his entire brain inside out like that, changed his magic pattern, and lied about his true identity.

The young man who continued to stumble regained his balance like a lie.

The two eyes of the young man, who had returned to focus, were overflowing with a completely different, blatant killing spirit.

“So I’ll put an end to that miserable life myself.”
