Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 187
Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine
Inside Episode 192
Grisha smiled wryly after confirming that her eyes were swaying with a strange desire.
No wonder.
Grisha had been keenly aware of his capabilities as he traveled all over the Dominion with Lennok and worked with him, but it would have been the first time
Lapis had seen Lennok work in person.
It is impossible to count the number of talents encountered while wandering the Western Resistance Front for a considerable amount of time.
There are numerous people who have good brains and are strong enough to take care of themselves.
However, there was no one who perfectly demonstrated the ability to create a board as he wanted and wield it freely in front of Lapis.
If only I could continue to fight alongside such a person, if only I could entrust my strategy and judgment in future battles.
how helpful would it be
He is a person who can create a board that moves the trend alone.
No matter how the future war situation progressed, there were not enough people with these abilities.
“He’ll need a gift to repay him for what he’s done.”
Lapis also doesn’t think he can keep him for a long time because of his relationship with his insignificant grandmother.
In the end, in order to induce Lennok’s voluntary cooperation, not only the potential of the organization called Blue Eyes, but also the question of what can be given to him will be important.
It was a completely different matter than before that the thought that any bleeding was worthwhile in the process settled in Lapis’ head.

“… … End of data collection. Confirmation that Dominic Cavaro has lost consciousness. Stop the project.”
“Whoa… … .”
In the freezing chill, a low sigh drifted away as frost.
A giggling sneer echoed right next to it.
“I thought there was such a fatal weakness in the Alchemy of the 1st world. You ate very well, yes.”
“yes. At the end, although there were clearly signs of consciousness returning, some kind of interference prevented the attempt altogether. It is difficult to guess the specific circumstances because I have not seen the battlefield, but it is judged that there is a loophole in the process of transferring consciousness.”
“Cease research on alchemy and redistribute all personnel and assets related to the project. Get ready.”
A cold voice rang out, but there was no answer.
After the other attendants had already conveyed the voice’s intention to the other side of the continent.
Along with the cry of a beast that seemed to growl next to him, someone let out an eerie life.
“Hey Pierrot. You’re going to take up my precious time and just end it like this? Didn’t you think you flew this far to see your house play ruined?”
“Oh, I’m scared… … If you want to live a long time, how about killing your temper?”
A giggling voice responded calmly.
“The important thing is proof that we are not the only ones holding this secret.”
“… … What bullshit are you talking about?”
It wasn’t even a day or two that this beast’s head was deaf, so it wasn’t surprising.
However, it is not that difficult to attach a plausible reason to this monster that does not even have a sense of belonging.
“The wizard dispatched from the Blaver Mage Tower succeeded in killing the homunculus on the spot. It’s impossible if you don’t know the secret of alchemy from the beginning.”
“So you lost just because you were incompetent, right?”
“No, to put it another way… … It means they know what we know.”
Pierrot laughed.
“Doesn’t that mean they have what we want?”
“You mean let’s tap the magic tower and check the reaction.”
Pierrot agreed to the words of the cold voice.
“Aren’t you curious? How confident are those stupid old friends of the Mage Tower that they openly do things like this… … According to my thoughts, the nose must be poking the sky by now, but let’s check it out.”
Someone rose from their seat with the sound of a sharp blade.
“How hot is the flame of the Blaver Magic Tower?”
“Now you’re making a sound that I like.”
The beast cried in satisfaction.
“so. Are you starting right now? I am always ready.”
“No, let’s take two days off. First of all, I’ll have to ask the other members of the organization if they’d like to participate in this. In particular, shouldn’t we talk about it with your seniors?”
“Damn it… … That old lady has no interest in us in the first place. I have no intention of looking at that reptile head for long.”
There was no credence for the words of the beast’s head, but everyone agreed with the words themselves.
Even in the Pandemonium, monsters that jumped over the top tended to be particularly uninterested in the affairs of the organization.
Rather, it was rare inside Pandaemonium to have regular meetings like the four of them.
Even though the boss was clearly aware of this situation, it seemed that he had no intention of interfering with the members of his subordinates any more than this… … The cold voice thought differently.
Anything that can be done must be done.
If it is necessary, go through it without hesitation.
The reason why he dared to bring in the drug lord, who could not hide his cruelty beyond necessity after obtaining alchemy, was because he thought his innate business sense and enormous wealth would help the cause.
However, he rather coveted a force that was not his own, and collapsed miserably in the field where he was least confident.
It is good to make contributions within the organization and approach the secrets of the world, but if you stumble even once in the process, there is no turning back.
The cold voice knew that all too well.
It was too similar to the mortification to become an Ascendant, which he had once stepped on.
“For those we contact, at least say something, and if no response comes back, we start by ourselves.”
Slowly raising his body, he finished it.
“Within half a year, we aim to destroy the Magic Tower and confirm the secrets they hide.”
* * *
Even on the other side of the continent, it is not difficult to hear the news that the Republic of Paraguine is in chaos.
And that’s probably because the drug lord’s hand, which controlled the Republic in the dark, has completely disappeared.
It has been three days since the two islands collided and completely changed the topography of the floating island colony.
Lennok, who remained until the last moment when the island collided, succeeded in escaping through space using Enakpil’s five fingers.
If I hadn’t intended to end it like this in the first place, I wouldn’t have even started planning it.
In the end, choosing an all-out war against the drug lord in this case was also because of the judgment that avoiding battle for the remaining duration of the barrier would not help.
Lennok had to stay at the lighthouse for two more days to get himself in shape, but it wasn’t a big loss.
As much as the time spent in the Dominion was considerable, there were not a few gains.
He put down the newspaper he was holding and stood up.
After leaving the room, the watchers who were busily working back and forth in the hallway greeted Lennok in unison.
“Evan-sama, are you awake!”
“Breakfast is ready, so let’s go up to the dining room.”
“I will see you first.”
“No, you might want to wash your face before that. Shouldn’t you be a little hasty?”
Lennox sighed at the sight of the fast-approaching observers, shoving and bickering.
As soon as he was about to turn away from the approaching watchers, a young man with a spear blocked the others and raised his twin wick.
“Evan-nim still needs a break, so everyone go away. I will assist the wizard.”
“Chet, it’s Sunshine… … .”
“done. If he clings to us, he’ll haunt us all day.”
“… … .”
Now that I see it, even among observers, he has a fairly notorious personality.
The young man quickly dismissed the other observers and bowed his head respectfully as he turned to Lennok.
“You waited a long time. I will guide you to the restaurant.”
“Do I really have to do this?”
A young man with the name Sun Seon.
It seems that what happened that day was quite impressive, and he has been following Lennok around and escorting him ever since.
Despite Lennok’s blunt reply, Seon Seon did not blink an eye.
“Until the day the wizard leaves the Dominion, I will personally help escort him by his side. Don’t worry too much about Lapis-sama’s direct words.”
He answered that and immediately moved toward the ground.
Lennox let out a small sigh and followed him.
When they come up to the ground of the lighthouse, the bright sunlight greets them.
In the restaurant set up in the corner of the spacious hall, other observers were already preparing meals.
Lennok picked a random table and sat down.
Immediately behind him, Seon Seon stood tall like a Jangseung and glared at the surroundings with wide eyes.
“… … .”
What kind of escort do you want to do in this lighthouse full of watchers?
He was a very annoying fellow.
Too lazy to say anything, Lennok just turned his head away from the lighthouse.
Warm sunlight was pouring in from the huge glass windows on the front of the huge tower.
It was a peaceful landscape that seemed like a lie considering what he had experienced in the Dominion so far.
Things went surprisingly smoothly after the fight with drug lord Dominic Cavaro.
The corpse of a giant trapped in the wreckage of the island and the presence of heterogeneous species that have been sweeping through the autonomous territory are the strongest evidence than anything else that a drug lord is reaching out here.
Considering what Qing’s eyes had done in the process of resolving the matter, it was next to impossible for the dominion government to ignore the words of its watchers.
As a result, while the Dominion government was trying to figure out the situation, Qing’s eyes were directly roaming the floating island colony and saving the residents of the Dominion directly.
Through negotiations with the government, Lapis was able to be promised not only to disregard everything that happened while handling this matter, but also to fully support the follow-up.
Considering that the dominion government holds a huge amount of cash through extensive market transactions, the amount returned to Qing must be considerable.
In addition, with the help of military personnel and outside magicians, the restoration of the broken 2 floating islands is in progress, and the body of the homunculus is going to be extensively researched on the ridiculous human body structure.
The position of the Eye of Blue within the Dominion of Philenom has risen significantly, and the observers have been granted permission to freely enter the research site, so the harvest can be said to be considerable.
The government officials also knew how great the work they had done was as much as they had seen the giant who swallowed the three floating islands.
Although the whole of the two floating islands was sacrificed in the process, and the financial loss was not small, everyone thought it was fortunate that they were able to block the attack of a drug lord with only this amount of damage.
“The most important thing is that this is the first time we have minimized losses on our side to such an extent in a battle with Pandemonium.”
“… … .”
Seon Seon, who sat across from Lennok and started eating, spoke calmly.
“During the pandemonium and the one-and-a-half battles, countless deaths and losses were always accompanied by victory. I have never faced such a formidable enemy as a drug lord, and never had I been able to deal with it so easily, even after allowing him to use an unknown technique to attack first.”
“I was lucky.”
Lennox replied languidly.
“You are good at joking. No one would consider that moment to be a coincidence. The same goes for everyone on the other side of the continent who is hearing about the upheaval in the Republic of Paraguinea.”
Seon Seon laughed it off as if he thought it was modesty, but Lennok’s honest feelings were really like that.
The fact that he was able to deal a direct blow to the drug lord in this case was only possible because he believed in the homunculus secret trick and directly transferred his consciousness over thousands of kilometers.
If Lennok had been completely ignorant of alchemy in the process, the outcome of the fight would have been completely different.
It was because Lennok had memorized and acquired even the most non-mainstream techniques, such as the necromancy ceremony, that he was able to finish this job so neatly.
Of course, the wreckage of the island floating around below the lighthouse didn’t look that neat… …
Lennok thought that the way the drug lord got his hands on alchemy must have borrowed the hand of pandemonium.
However, considering that the drug lord himself was unaware of the fact that the materialization of consciousness was extremely vulnerable to outside interference, could it be that Pandemonium was simply thinking of him as an alchemy lab?
If that’s the case, there must be a faction inside Pandemonium that’s trying to find magic or artifacts that disappeared in WORLD 1.0 and 2.0 and experiment with them.
If only I could turn that faction’s attention away from Lennok or Blue’s Eye and towards the Blaber Mage’s Tower.
That alone would be worth it for this job.
