Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 530
Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Chapter 530
Double Status (1)
Lennok and Antares were quietly walking through a crowded exhibition hall.
Dozens of flying vehicles and floating engines slowly passing by.
“A tactical bomber used in the Kavahim Kingdom. It’s something that will be discontinued within 10 years.”
“… … .”
“A vertical take-off and landing aircraft from the Republic of Paraguinea. Perhaps five years later, a major engine defect is discovered and there is an explosion.”
“… … .”
“A reverse flow control shuttle made by craftsmen in Abadria. Perhaps now is the time when the magicians of the Spell Federation are filing a large-scale lawsuit on charges of replicating magic.”
The figure of Antares explaining about the airplanes displayed around the area as if to help one word at a time.
However, the words that flow out of his mouth are not the history or performance of the airplane, but only stories about the end they will face.
It’s just a story of a future that’s virtually impossible to know at this point.
Lennok quietly listened to Antares’ explanation, then slightly tilted his head.
“What is the story you want to tell?”
“… … .”
“Are you going to waste your time explaining the specifications of the plane to me?”
It was only then that Antares stopped slowly and turned his gaze to Lennok.
“Well, what should I say? To put it bluntly… … .”
He stared at Lennok with a soft smile and spoke slowly.
“It means that all the aircraft on display in this exhibition hall are inferior to the anti-gravity technology that was born at your fingertips.”
“… … .”
“In the first place, the fact that this fair was finished and brought new vitality to this city was something that never happened in the first place.”
Antares said.
“But you don’t have to foreknowledge it to know that your anti-gravity engine is something superior to any flying machine on display here.”
“You mean things don’t always go the way you predict the future.”
Lennok replied.
“Wasn’t it an effort to reduce the variables that were not mixed with foreknowledge in the process?”
“It depends. In the Balkans, we are trying to reduce our stay time as much as possible to avoid variables, but… … .”
Antares smiled bitterly and lowered his gaze.
“Because to me, who has confirmed the future, the variable of foreknowledge is another hope. You are, in a sense, one of those variables.”
“… … .”
“University researcher of Yangji, the great wizard of the dark. It’s a double life that I can’t believe even though I’m seeing it with my own eyes.”
Antares asked.
“At least with the way I think of human life, there are only results that are difficult to achieve even one properly. Since when?”
“On the contrary, I want to ask.”
said Lennok.
“How long have you known?”
He was the first to notice Lennok’s double status even though he didn’t tell him directly.
But even so, Lennok did not wield magic toward Antares or felt the intent to kill him.
It was because he already knew that finding out to Antares that Ban and Evan were the same person would not hurt him much.
Antares had already told Lennok his most deadly and deepest secret.
A foresight ability obtained in exchange for observing one’s own outcome.
The unbelievable truth that he is traveling across the continent to change the future through him.
He is a man with complicated circumstances that makes it difficult to hold on to and keep his own secrets, let alone reveal other people’s secrets.
If you hold on to each other’s weaknesses, the relationship of trust will not be broken unless at least one side collapses.
Lennok had some idea that Antares had anticipated this situation and revealed his secret beforehand.
Perhaps even that could be said to be a fragment of the future heading towards the end.
“Seeing the future is not a way to blindly pinpoint non-existent possibilities.”
Antares stared blankly at Lennok, then slowly walked away with his hands behind his back.
“It’s a way of looking at a fixed ending and looking at the process of getting there by turning it upside down.”
“… … .”
“In that sense, the thesis on magical energy substitution that you submitted for the first time was incredibly delicate, dealing with the past and future points of view.”
Antares spoke slowly, leaving Lennok unanswered.
“I don’t know too many people who are genius enough to do that.”
I mean, I guessed it to some extent from the time I submitted my first thesis, and now I have confidence.
Even after hearing Antares’ explanation, Lennok wasn’t too surprised.
The actions of Antares, who came to Jenny’s bar and explained the possible terrorism at the fair.
That itself was virtually impossible without being certain of the relationship between Ban and Evan.
Lennok was just curious about how Antares had guessed that and connected the two identities.
“Are you walking backwards through the future even though you know your end is predetermined…?” … .”
Lennok shook his head and asked.
“Do you really believe that there can be more answers than you hoped for at the end?”
“I don’t know.”
Antares admitted candidly.
“I don’t think that this will ever be possible.”
“… … .”
“That’s why I want to finish the preparations before it’s too late. The wars and hunting that will take place in the future will be huge enough to change the very concept that has existed so far.”
The contradiction of using the future glimpsed through foreknowledge to move toward an unpredictable ending.
What Antares does is different only in its form and method, but it is no different from a clown fooling and deceiving Gias.
What is the reason why he took such a risk and wandered all over the continent to build his own arrangement?
What does the flame that remains inside Antares until the end mean?
“The identity of Evan Bylon has been intentionally hidden until now. Completely different magical patterns, residential alibi, personal information, and even variation in habits… … . Your dual status was completely untraceable with physical evidence alone.”
“… … ”
“However, as long as you have disclosed this level of achievement to the public, there will be a significant increase in the number of people who are curious about your identity.”
Antares continued talking about Lennok, who did not respond.
“Where the hell did this talent come from, what education did you receive, what kind of knowledge you learned, what you think and what kind of future you envision. and… … .”
The two people’s steps stopped at the same time.
“What answer do you want?”
It is a huge piece of dream that mankind once longed for outside the world.
Traces of eternity that have become bubbles before the irresistible truth and the vast sea of darkness.
Among all the vehicles in the exhibition hall, the space shuttle boasts an overwhelming size and output.
Antares looked at it quietly and muttered.
“They want to figure it out and understand it.”
“… … .”
“If you want to hide it until the end, you will have to be much more careful than you are now. Even if you fool everyone perfectly, any lie can become the truth in this world where mysteries live.”
“… … Know.”
Lennok answered quietly.
“It was also my decision to participate in the fair knowing that.”
Lennok laughed as he looked at the shape of the shuttle that Antares was looking at.
“Without progress or regression. Sometimes I dream that this kind of time will continue forever… … . Because you can’t always stay still.”
“… … .”
“It should be a little different now. The second paper is the first step towards that.”
Anti-gravity technology implemented by imitating the ascending air currents of the Dominion.
It was not simply the result of the time spent in the Dominion of Philenom.
The countless times I spent discussing magic theory with Aris at Rabatenon University.
The ideal of superhumans who were so powerful, lofty, and great that they had been dealing with as a class.
The leader’s will to hunt down the foreign press, which he confirmed at the last moment in the well of handbooks.
All those wills and memories that stretch out to the open sea gather and become a step toward the answer that Lennok hopes for.
“Opening the sky and pioneering new transportation is just the beginning.”
The end of the open sea, which crosses immeasurable time, passes through undeterminable space, and swims in an incomprehensible universe.
The world gets a little closer to them after passing through the product of a once-failed and abandoned dream.
“If it was Evan’s job to open the way, then someone else will take over.”
Lennok continued without hesitation.
“We don’t know how long the changes brought about by anti-gravity technology will take… … Wouldn’t someone use that to find another answer?”
By any chance, Lennok didn’t have to be the last to give the answer.
If only Lenok’s new step could create another path before the end of the world comes to an end.
“Right.”
Antares laughed.
“But that change won’t take as long as you think.”
“… … what?”
“If you keep watching the things you can see, sometimes you often see the things you can’t see.”
A foresight is not just passively taking in the inspiration that flows in and peeking into the future.
Equipped with excellent intuition, judgment, intelligence, and inspiration, distinguish the authenticity of the inspiration that comes to you.
Unless you have the ability to determine whether it is real wisdom, you will go mad in immeasurable fantasies.
Aside from obtaining a fragment of a battery that can peek into the future, Antares himself is also a sage who can draw a concrete future based on the past and present.
“The shock that comes through the commercialization of anti-gravity technology. It will be impossible for you to avoid the aftermath and the process of dealing with it.”
Looking at Lennok’s hardened face, Antares turned around.
“I was just convinced. Your identity should no longer be discovered at this point, and your ability and intelligence will become a necessary possibility for the outcome to come.”
“… … .”
“I will help you a little to achieve what you wish for. That would be the only way to leave few variables in the changes to come.”
“Help me.”
Lennok laughed.
“What are you going to do to help me hide my identity now?”
“Even in the future, which constantly shakes and changes, there are some constants that are fixed.”
“… … .”
Antares’ gaze was no longer directed at the aircraft inside the exhibition hall.
As if I don’t feel any value in them anymore.
His gaze was fixed on Lennok’s eyes.
“The giants of the sun will start moving.”
* * *
Boaaaang!!!
A harsh engine sound echoing over the dark asphalt.
The pitch-black flash, invisible to the naked eye, scatters wild flames over the road and disappears.
Snuggle Geek!!
Every time you pull the throttle, the surrounding air weighs heavily on your shoulders, but the car body, which moves according to the automatic driving algorithm, sheds that pressure and protects the user.
As he adjusted the fluttering collar of his coat, Lennok reached for the earphones in his ears.
“How was the situation over there, Jenny?”
– Negotiations break down. The deal is canceled. A change of plan to transfer of goods.
“I get it.”
-Is it possible?
“It will take about 10 minutes.”
– No, are you riding that bike right now? baaaaaaaa… … !! Still, if you ride that kind of thing with a body that is not comfortable… … !!
Pop-!
Lennok ignored Jenny’s words and immediately sped up his bike.
Boaaaang!!
However, dozens of armored vehicles followed on both sides of Lennok as if they had promised.
Steel plates assembled as hard as armor to withstand any impact and explosion. Nothing can be seen through the black-tinted windows.
Instead, the mechanical cannons protruding from both sides of the armored vehicle fired flames all at once.
Doo doo doo!!!
Lennok’s bike exploded with heat as hundreds of bullet marks were stamped along the edge of the running wheel.
At the same time, the traffic lines of the bodies rushing furiously as if they were going to crash the bike at any moment from close range.
They fire their cannons at each other and pay no attention to the bullets being scattered in all directions.
Desperately, as if he would destroy the bike and lower its mobility, no matter what.
Lennok faintly frowned at the movement mixed with blatant urgency.
“Have you been off work for too long?”
It’s been a while since I went to work after receiving Jenny’s nomination request, and there are people who are doing ridiculous tricks.
Trying to put pressure on Lennok through a vehicle in the shadows of this city is itself an act of suicide.
The opponent didn’t hesitate at all and pushed the armored vehicle as if he was going to crush Lennok.
Clap!!!
As the bike’s body swung to one side, a long muzzle protruded from Lennok’s coat sleeve.
The rechargeable shotgun, which splits into three prongs and rotates, receives Lennok’s mana for the first time in a while and is fully charged.
keying… … !!
[Magical rapid fire 4 stacks]
[Track correction]
[Recoil nullification]
[Concentrated fire]
[Rotating shot]
Immediately beyond the muzzle rotating at subsonic speed, the three-pronged magic power exploded with a mixture of rotation and repulsion.
Wow!!!
At that moment, the side of the armored vehicle that was the first to run toward Lennok disappeared as if a hole had been pierced on the spot.
The recoil of the shotgun lifts the bike body diagonally, easily overcoming the offensive of the armored vehicles.
Fragments of resonating bombs falling nonstop under the wheels of a rotating bike against the night sky.
Clap cluck clap clap!!
As if it were a magnet, it fell on the road and at the same time stuck to the underside of the armored vehicle and blinked ceaselessly.
The blue magic light that sprang up like a circle exploded on the road one after another, raising dozens of dazzling pillars of light.
Kwaaaa!!!
The shape of the monster bike rises higher as if climbing the stairs, as if using the recoil of the explosion as a support.
In the midst of the upside-down gale, the bike’s thick wheels landed down the road and exploded countless sparks.
Lennok asked, furrowing his brow between the frictional heat radiating out from all sides and the inability to communicate.
“The chase was roughly brushed off. Where are the things?”
I passed the -45 block intersection. I think they slowed it down!!
Jenny shouted in a slightly breathless voice.
-I’ll notify the client of the operation instructions. [Evan Bylon Rescue Operation] Orders start from now… … !!
“… … .”
A request name that makes you laugh no matter how many times you hear it.
However, Lennok, who had long since let go of the nomination request, had no other reasons for participating in this request.
A nomination request directly requested by a diamond-level client.
“okay.”
Laughing, Lennok pulled the throttle.
“Let’s go check the face of that guy named Evan.”
It was the beginning of an unknown operation who was going to rescue whom.
