Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 188
Gift (1)
Of course, the most important harvest for Lennok was the dozens of Malabeth roots that were carefully kept in his arms.
After hearing from the medicine man that he needed Malabeth, there were many twists and turns until he got his hands on this item, but in the end, he succeeded in wiping out the drug lord’s property.
In addition, if the huge amount of rare medicines in his warehouse were converted into money, the value would be considerable.
After getting a clear answer from Lapis about all of this, Lennok’s work in the Dominion was over.
I was curious about Akasha’s whereabouts, but if I was a magician like her, I wouldn’t have been able to protect myself.
Thinking so, Lennok pushed the bread he was holding into his mouth and stood up.
Lennok shook his head as he stopped eating and watched the sun rise along.
“I’m going to Lapis, so there’s no need to follow him.”
“no. Let’s go together.”
Seon Seon immediately answered by picking up his clothes.
“I have been asked to guide Evan whenever he wants.”
The two headed straight to Lapis’s office.
She groaned as she piled up an amount of papers the size of her height, and greeted the two of them.
“welcome. I was waiting.”
“You look very busy.”
“In the process of collecting the wreckage of the floating island, I have to deal with cooperation measures and research rights for homunculus corpses. Since we have to coordinate opinions directly with the government, it is a matter that cannot be left to others.”
When Lapis glanced at Sunshine, he lowered his head and immediately retreated.
Completely different neatness from the attitude that was soggy somewhere before.
“Loyalty is great. Are you really like that?”
“Sun Myung is a survivor of an extinct samurai family. After losing everything in the family to the ‘white lion’, we dragged him in with a vengeful spirit.”
“A white lion?”
“He’s a murderer known as a member of the Pandemonium. He is a criminal with a special wanted order because of his bizarre personality that likes human flesh and is quite cruel, and he has a personality that buys and creates grudge relationships.”
“hmm… … .”
Well, there are crocodile giants, there are eagle heads, and it is not strange that there are lions.
“Rather than that, we would like to settle the contributions Evan-sama made in this work.”
“It’s a settlement.”
“Since Evan-nim hasn’t officially joined Cheong’s eyes yet, he is an outsider. I think it’s only natural to pay that much.”
Lapis said so and stood up.
“I think it would be better to show and explain than to say anything here. Please follow me.”
She immediately moved to the basement of the lighthouse with Lennok.
After passing through the first basement floor where the guest rooms are located and the second floor full of shabby secret rooms and warehouses, they went down to the third floor, and a huge iron door greeted them.
When Lapis put her hand on the door and let her magic flow in, the iron door opened and the scenery inside was revealed.
The lukewarm warmth you feel as soon as you open the door.
A unique scent that rises from the mixture of all kinds of magical powers inside.
It feels similar to when Raoul, a black magician belonging to the Buyeo sect, showed me the warehouse where he collected his artifacts.
Perhaps this place that Lapis has brought you now also serves a similar purpose.
Various weapons and goods were piled up in a spacious empty lot illuminated by dim lighting.
“This safe is a collection of goods acquired during the time when the Blue Eye returned to the lighthouse.”
After saying that, she passed between the artifacts and items piled up in a mess and headed towards the deepest part of the vault.
Four objects placed in a high-end glass showcase that are clearly different from the other objects.
A variety of artifacts that emanate a magical field that is unique even to Lennok.
precious things… … No, beyond that level, he exudes a powerful force that instantly overwhelms even Lennok.
The magical power of other artifacts flowing out of this area seemed to be colorless because of the magical power emanating from this place.
Lapis, noticing Lennok’s gaze, spoke.
“These are the equipment my grandmother used. In other words, it seems to be called a brewery sergeant.”
“… … An item that the Ascendant used himself?”
“To be precise, it is the item he used before challenging his ascension. I heard that you haven’t used it since you assumed the mission of being a lighthouse keeper.”
“… … .”
I know that a collection of artifacts used by high-ranking mages to assist with their spells or to get help in battle is called a sorcery arsenal.
According to Lapis, it was an item that Madrea Falseer, the celestial dog, had been using until right before reaching level 9.
“The items gathered here are artifacts that I left out because they don’t suit me well, but the effect is significant. I was thinking of handing it to you in the sense that if I meet a qualified person someday, I will be with the eyes of blue. I think the price for this job will be enough.”
Saying so, Lapis opened the display case and took out a rosary that glowed black from within.
“This is an object called the Pure Land God Haejin-eon (程土伸該珍言), and it is a tool made by weaving 108 eggs made by cutting Cheon-a tree. Please take it.”
Lennok didn’t hesitate and took the item she handed over to him.
He had no intention of rejecting a gift from Lapis just because he didn’t want to get involved with the blue eye.
Above all, the fact that it was an artifact used by a magician who had reached level 8 was stimulating Lennok’s interest.
If it is an artifact that can be carried by a magician who has reached that level, it must have very unique or powerful performance.
Lapis’ explanation continued.
“As far as I know, it is a tool that works by designating and deploying a specific space to constrain concepts. Grisha-nim and I have already tried it once, but it was not easy to handle because it requires a great understanding of space.”
“Understanding the space… … .”
“It has the ability to decompose a specific space and analyze its properties, so it is said that it helped my grandmother to learn the ability of the celestial eye.”
“Can you pass that item to me?”
If it’s an item that helps Madrea learn the ability of the Celestial Eye, it must be a great help in helping her understand space-type magic.
Lapis nodded calmly.
“Unlike my grandmother, who inherited her mission without any basis, I have already inherited everything from her. Rather, it is an excessive item for me to use because I do not have much talent for combat.”
Having said that, Lennok said nothing more.
If you listen to Lapis’ explanation, it seems to be equivalent to a binding and sealing method based on understanding of space, but if Madrea carried it herself, the effect would be enormous.
It seemed like it could be of great help to Lennok, who has difficulty not killing opponents, when he needs to subdue someone.
At the same time as wearing the rosary on my wrist, I feel my mind clearing up a little more.
I thought I might not know, so I turned off the magic detection and looked around.
It was worth guessing what a great origin this seemingly featureless object had.
Lennok inadvertently burst into admiration as he touched the rosary.
“Awesome. Are all the artifacts used by ascenders like this?”
“Although the number of artifacts with combat abilities is not large, the performance itself is good enough for a top magician to carry around.”
Lapis answered as he closed the safe’s door and came out.
“If it wasn’t for Evan-sama’s suggestion, I originally intended to take out some of the weapons in the Blue Eye in exchange for revealing the location of the lighthouse… … The most important thing is not to reveal our strength.”
Of course, the reason she can say this is because the restoration of the second floating island is going very smoothly, but in the end, it’s fortunate that things worked out well.
‘In addition to that, considering the essence extracted from the drug lord’s corpse, this side has enough leftovers.’
The Homunculus Essence taken right before escaping from the island.
It is no different from the essence that has compressed the secrets of alchemy into one body.
It would not be difficult for him to learn alchemy if he studied essence along with the basic knowledge of alchemy.
Lennok thought so and followed Lapis to the top of the lighthouse.
The top of a huge lighthouse with half of the tower broken.
On the observatory, where the remains of the collapsed stone wall were strewn about, Lapis looked back at Lennok in the wind.
“You really worked hard this time. Originally, I only planned to share a simple story, but it unexpectedly helped me a lot.”
“You don’t have to think that way. If there was no chance, I wouldn’t even try.”
Although it was quite a waste of body, it is undeniable that there was a good harvest.
Beyond simply getting a few roots of malaveth and going back, Lennok’s magical and financial gains were at odds with everything he had done so far.
The achievement of creation magic created through direct research and flame-type unique magic obtained by brushing Weizen.
Not only Malabeth, but also goods obtained by robbing the drug lord’s warehouse.
On top of that, the dharma tool Pure Land God’s Declaration that Lapis handed over as a token of gratitude for this work.
The fact that we have the upper hand in information that the drug lord is in a coma is sure to come in handy when we return to the Balkans.
Lennok was satisfied that he had not been able to rest properly for several days and had been busy running around all over the Dominion, but at least he had been rewarded for his hard work.
“What do you plan to do next?”
“I intend to leave the Dominion again for a while. We succeeded in subduing the drug lord, but it would be better to take a step back and observe the situation to see the trend of the pandemonium.”
“… … .”
“Not only in pandemonium, but also in the Guido Church, they are showing unusual movements. Unlike pandemonium, which thinks of using the monsters of the open sea, they are fanatics who truly serve the end, so we should be more vigilant.”
Lennok looked at Lapis’ back and tilted his head.
The bright sun shone behind her, casting a shadow on her face.
“Are you not telling me to come into the eyes of Qing anymore? It’s nice to be able to hand over something like this.”
“Wouldn’t it be enough to know that a word or two is not enough to convince you?”
“… … .”
“For now, I will be satisfied with maintaining a relationship even in this way.”
I feel that Lapis’s attitude has changed incomparably more leisurely than before.
Apparently, she decided to change her ways completely after watching Lennok deal with the drug lord.
“If you come back to us once again when you can see how far we can go, that will be enough.”
“You speak well. Even if I say that, what are you going to do if I really don’t even show my face?”
Instead of answering, Lapis smiled softly.
Lennok couldn’t help but laughed.
“What good. Because I was thinking of going back to the Balkans anyway. It won’t be too late to postpone the next thing. Until then, let’s see how long you can keep your word.”
“I will not give up. Shouldn’t you be willing to go in and out of the nine thresholds in order to obtain a sharp spear?”
“… … Do you use proverbs like that on this side? It doesn’t matter if it’s a spear or a sword, so think as you like.”
He gently waved the rosary on his wrist.
“Things like yesterday are not acceptable, but a present like today will always be welcome.”
