Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 671
Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 671
Random Box (6)
“… … What the hell is this?”
“No, I didn’t even pull it, but suddenly it was about to open.”
Evelyn also took her hand off the lever as if she hadn’t intended to, but the box doesn’t close.
“Once I grabbed it and pulled it, something kept pouring out, but it didn’t stop.”
In the meantime, unknown greenish brilliance pouring out from under her feet.
I picked up the shiny thing with a slight excitement around the others.
“Hey, look at the magic here!”
“But it doesn’t seem to pile up as fast as I thought, does it?”
“It seems to be disappearing beneath the ground.”
“Listening to it, I feel like my feet are shaking… … Meanwhile ,
Mila, who picked up something shiny from the floor, tilted her head.
“This is not a jewel.”
“Isn’t it a jewel?”
“It has a little too much magical power, but it also seems a bit soft… … .”
Mila, who had been wiggling her fingers with her brow furrowed, widened her eyes as if she had noticed it belatedly.
“… … seed?”
At that moment, the ground in the garden of Lennok’s mansion began to wriggle and vibrate from below.
Kururrureuk!!
Plants and vegetables of all kinds spring up all over the garden, leaving random boxes and people under their feet.
Doo doo!!
Huge trees sprouted from among the piles of vegetables that piled up like mountains.
A miracle in which trees with various kinds of fruits and vegetables gathered together and instantly surrounded Lennok’s mansion and turned it into a lush orchard.
Abu couple!!”
“Mr. Mr. X… … Vegetables fall from the sky!!”
A rain of vegetables and fruits falling from the sky filled the garden in an instant and built up hills high like mountains.
Doo doo doo!!!
People who run away from the waves of vegetables that use energy everywhere.
Even the appearance of a whitish spirit rolling between piles of fruit.
“Avoid all. Get healthy!!”
“… … Isn’t that a good thing?!”
[Become an organic spirit~]
Lennok looked at the extraordinary scenery spread out in the garden of the mansion in silence, then turned his gaze to Ibelin.
Evelyn, who had gently lowered the lever, was breaking out in a cold sweat.
“… … ”
Should I call this lucky or rather unlucky?
Apparently, the person with the most bad luck in the party had been decided from the beginning.
* * *
“No. 23 bay leaf shape. Remnants of magical power.”
“No. 41 purple avocado. No magic power.”
“No. 59, dead tree roots. strong magic… … .”
A busy manor garden with a cluttered atmosphere.
People with something sparsely raised above their heads lined up in front of Lennok one after another.
With a slightly dazed expression, he puts down the object he was holding and takes it back when Lennok makes a decision.
Lennok checked the tree roots Wei An had pulled out and recorded them in the ledger.
“This root is not at the artifact level. Could you bring it to the organics classification?”
“yep.”
“Me too.”
“This fruit looks like an elixir. Put it on the potion stand for now.”
Wei An throws the tree roots he brought into a storage shed that is piled up like a mountain in the corner of the garden.
Jenny, who came back after me, yawned and put the fruit on the shelf.
From old twigs and root skins to unripe plants that do not have the shape of fruits and vegetables.
“… … what?”
Wei An, who had a bunch of leaves hanging over his head, tilted his head.
“I think I was liking it because it was a jackpot until just now… … why?”
Obviously, I thought everyone would be happy until Evelyn pulled the lever and glitters poured out.
When I came to my senses, I was struggling to organize and classify the objects piled up like a mountain all over the garden.
Gardens of vegetables and plants, each of which has an unknown magical power.
“It is true that something very great happened, Wei An.”
Felix walked past him, answering in a timid voice.
“Because most of the crops here are rare varieties not found in existing ecosystems.”
“uh… … .”
“Just what we thought… … It just wasn’t a quick get-rich-quick.”
A flower of unknown variety was also blooming on the beak of the bird-headed giant carrying a fruit the size of his head.
Not only that, but the appearance of unknown flowers and plants growing on the shoulders and heads of workers throughout the garden.
What Evelyn Marcia took out of the random box were not gold or silver treasures or luxurious artifacts.
The seeds of plants and vegetables that all have very strong growth power.
As soon as it poured into the garden, it began to germinate everywhere, bearing fruit and taking root in various places.
Lennok’s mansion has turned into a dense forest in an instant.
“… … .”
Evelyn, who had a triumphant face at first, was pulling out the roots of plants in the garden without even raising her head properly.
“How strong is the obsession with alternative vegetarian diets… … .”
“Your will must be as strong as your skills.”
“Were you thinking of making us all vegan… … It is frightening.”
“Oh no.”
Evelyn, who received the indescribable gazes of others, desperately denied it.
“I hope other people know the appeal of vegetarianism, but… … Even in a place like this, I don’t want that kind of wish!”
Despite the rare words of Evelyn who raised her voice in protest, no one believed her words.
I just keep my distance with a slightly different kind of wary gaze.
Lennok looked at the people bickering with each other and put down the ledger he was holding with a grin.
“I don’t know what Eveline’s real wish is, but it probably isn’t a lie.”
“Isn’t that a lie?”
[Can you say that even after looking at this scenery now?]
The simple ascension gate prepared by Lennok tends to convey the wishes of the user with a slight twist.
If so, the landscape of the mansion now in disarray must also be part of Evelyn’s wish.
Isn’t it because Evelyn Marcia’s craving for vegetarianism, which she hoped for while pulling the lever, is stronger and bigger than anyone else in the room?
However, Lennok nodded as he looked back at Evelyn, who seemed slightly downcast.
“Even though I thought Evelyn was overly lucky at first… … This is beyond what can be explained on the basis of luck.”
said Lennok, who picked up the roots of a tree that was still sprouting from beneath his feet.
“In response to Ibelin’s disposition or temper, she drew out a large amount of the target before her wish.”
“I didn’t know that being a vegetarian was such a powerful quality.”
Felix looked at Ibelin as if he had remembered something at Jenny’s vague answer.
“Ibelin, by any chance, is maintaining a vegetarian diet a kind of precept that you must keep?”
“… … .”
“If it bothers you, you don’t have to answer.”
Although he referred to it as a commandment, Felix was asking if Ibelin’s vegetarian diet was a kind of geas or an act close to a taboo.
If it’s a gias or a ban from a level 8 superpower, it’ll be enough to react first in the random box, prioritizing Ibelin’s wish.
However, Evelyn shook her head quietly with an expression that was not clear.
“… … no. It’s just a personal preference. How would a field agent survive if he put it on condition of eating habits?”
“That too… … .”
Eveline is a sniper who used to be an agent and specializes in solo actions.
Of course, food and other supplies are often procured locally during operations.
It is quite inefficient for her to dare to put geas on her eating habits and keep the conditions.
Lennok looked at the troubled people, then cast his gaze at Evelyn in silence.
Lennok had already guessed to some extent why such a result was drawn from the random box.
“… … .”
Regardless of what his wish was, Dylan pulled out the heart of the church from beyond the Ascension Gate.
That’s because Dylan’s origin worked as a strong connection to the Gate of Ascension.
If this mass of seeds Evelyn took out had nothing to do with her wishes.
On the contrary, wouldn’t it be because it was related to Ibelin’s origin, birth, or lineage?
‘The personal information recorded in the agent’s database was from the eastern foreign tribe… … I’d better do some more research.’
Is there something strongly related to the seeds or plants of the Old World on the side of Ibelin’s lineage?
Maybe her personal vegan eating habits have something to do with it too.
However, instead of giving Evelyn immediate advice, Lennok spared his words.
Like I did with Dylan, it’s best to talk about personal origins and secrets when the two of us are together.
“half. What are you going to do with that thing now?”
Felix approached from behind Lennok, who was lost in thought, and asked, putting his hand on Lennok’s shoulder.
“To others, it was moderately evasive, but that is not something that can be explained with conventional magic. yes?”
Felix quietly lowered his voice and muttered quietly.
“For an artifact that pulls out the desired item, its principle and function are twisted beyond comprehension.”
“… … .”
“To the extent that most of the stolen goods cannot be guessed… … What in the world did you see in Machine City?”
Did he intuit that every aspect of the item was out of the ordinary in that moment and guessed that it might not be something from this world?
Perhaps Felix had already realized that this object had something to do with the Gate of Ascension.
But knowing that, the reason why he didn’t say the word out of his mouth right now was probably to be considerate of and care about Lennok.
A judgment that can be made only because Felix has excellent eyesight and mature experience.
“No, it’s fine if you don’t answer. Just promise me that you will definitely dispose of it after the party is over.”
Felix made eye contact with Lennok with a clear gaze and nodded.
“Anyway, if the existence of this thing leaks out… … The city government is going to get their hands on it no matter what.”
Rather than being suspicious of Lennok, do they worry about the aftermath when the city council finds out about the object’s existence?
That’s not wrong.
If Lennok found out that he had obtained the Gate of Ascension, the Central Council and the Ex Machinas would surely react violently.
“I guess I shouldn’t have to worry about that.”
Lennok smiled lightly as he tilted his glass.
“Thanks to Evelyn, I think I accomplished all of my goals for making that thing today.”
“… … What does that mean?”
“To put it simply… … .”
Lennok tapped the ledger on the table and nodded.
“It means that the necessary data has been gathered to a sufficient extent.”
Gifting items to acquaintances using the Simple Ascension Gate was not simply a matter of goodwill.
The real purpose that Lennok had hoped for was in this situation itself, where he was simply extracting the data of the Ascension Gate.
‘Kaise said he needed to secure the dragon’s heart using the simple Ascension Gate.’
Looking at the busy people, Lennok was lost in thought.
‘But I can make a simple ascension gate, but I don’t know the principle and operation method. then… … .’
I had no choice but to extract as many samples as possible, study the regularity, and figure out how to operate the Simple Ascension Gate.
It was the solicitation act that made colleagues to feel the charm of Ascension Gate’s ability to summon people and make them use the gate once in a while.
In other words, it is a service equivalent to a free one-time drawing ticket.
With the help of others, Lennok put together a sample of how the Ascension Gate works.
Through him, he intended to study how to use the door to reach the other side of the void in the old world.
As the people gathered here have different origins, hierarchical abilities, and races, it is possible to function as various variables in the research process.
Which magic power responds more promptly to the operation of the Ascension Gate, and which hierarchy of abilities is more suitable.
What kind of wish should you have to pull out a stolen object of what theme from beyond the door.
Today, this place was a test ground to extract such data directly from the actual battle.
“I was told that I was strangely lax compared to what Ban was doing… … .”
“It was all arranged to pamper us.”
“After I finish this, I will definitely buy you another drink.”
The appearance of people who grumbled but quietly moved according to Lennok’s words.
Despite making a lot of noise regardless of identity, hierarchical skill, or origin, he began to classify plants again.
Lennok watched them contentedly, holding a glass behind them.
“I like it very much. It’s a very desirable landscape as a researcher.”
[Actually, he said he did this because it was annoying to pile up specimens by himself.] While
holding the grunting spirit’s tail in his arms, Wei An, holding an armful of purple vegetables, waddled along.”
“Where can I put half of these eggplants?”
“egg plant?”
“Ugh. I don’t really like vegetables like this, but it seems like there’s a lot of magic inside.”
Hearing that, Lennok looked closely at the vegetables Wei An had gathered.
Certainly, the vegetables he picked were only foods with exceptionally concentrated magic power compared to other crops.
Perhaps the shape of the branch itself is suitable for holding magic power.
“okay. It’s just fine.”
Lennok, who was reluctant to touch a branch, grabbed Wei’an by the shoulder and sat him down instead.
“I will ask you to do the rest of the classification and recording work. I will pay you generously.”
“… … what what?”
“I have a lot of other things to do.”
Gradually disassemble the random box to get rid of the traces and check the condition of the unconscious Dylan.
Others are helping clean up, but Lennok will have to finish the cleanup himself.
There is a lot to do besides sorting and recording crops right now.
However, Wei An stuttered as if he was taken aback by Lennok’s words.
“Eh… … That’s for people smarter than me… … .”
“Your magic sensitivity is the best among all the people gathered here. would you have said?”
“… … .”
“Your judgment is the most accurate in this sorting task. There is no comparison to other people.”
Wei’an’s magic sensitivity is a tremendous talent comparable to Lennok’s.
Even if other aptitudes such as mana manipulation and recovery capacity could not follow him.
As far as the sense of feeling magic and sympathizing with it, it was roughly close to Lennok’s sensitivity.
It goes without saying how powerful and rare a talent it is.
That’s why Lennok had suggested several ways to grow Wei An’s magic sensitivity to the fullest.
Didn’t Wei An accept the advice and grow rapidly, becoming a top-ranked person in the company?
But when he heard Lennok’s words, Wei’an’s expression was slightly blurred.
“Ah, that’s right… … I don’t know much these days.”
“What do you mean?”
Wei An answered, sighing as he glanced at Lennok.
“Speaking of sensitivity, it is all about recognizing magical power. I have to say that I have no idea because I want to go further.”
“… … .”
“I feel like I need something more than this to complete the hierarchy… … .”
I’ve been growing in the direction of making use of my magical power sensitivity talent, but with the 7th level ahead, I feel like I’m blocked by a wall.
While Lennok was lost in thought for a moment, Soo-ryun, who was walking beside him carrying a handful of leaves, asked.
“Come to think of it, if it’s half, isn’t it enough to have disciples in the first place?”
“… … student?”
“Even though he is very young, his skills are already at a level that is unapproachable.”
He said as if there was nothing strange about training.
“On the contrary, I think it’s strange that I never considered it until now.”
“Ah, I’ve thought about it from time to time.”
Jenny quietly added a word from the side.
“I thought I was secretly raising a few people, but I guess that wasn’t the case?”
“… … You guys know how to raise a disciple like I use any equipment.”
Lennok replied as if it were absurd.
“I have no intention of secretly becoming a teacher. But that’s right. In the first place… … .”
Although I had never thought about it because I taught undergraduate students while working as an assistant professor at university.
For a wizard with a level of hierarchy like Lennok, it would not be strange for him to accept disciples.
Aside from simply passing on magic and continuing the system, having excellent disciples makes the mage’s research considerably easier.
Of course, raising disciples in this world with a fixed ending may itself be meaningless.
However, Lennok thought there was meaning in making such a commitment to the future, even if there was no time.
“Hmmmm.”
“… … ?”
The people who plucked the scattered leaves from the top of their heads and adjusted their clothes, sneaked up to Lennok’s side.
Mila said, subtly slipping a crumpled bill into Lennok’s hand.
“I have a bad brain, but I have a very good sense since I was young.”
“what?”
“Even if you learn magic, you will definitely be able to do well.”
“… … .”
While Lennok was silent, unable to understand the nonsense, Belver, who was holding a large slime, cleared his throat.
“Hmmmm, as a stock investor, the ability to calculate profit and loss and manage wealth is not very related to the aptitude of a wizard… … .”
[He’s checking the temperature at the bottom of the Laver River, but he’s talking nonsense.]
Manson laughed at Belver and immediately intervened.
[Half I am a multi-body fit, so I can use multiple bodies to learn various types of magic… … ]
The appearance of people secretly showing off their magic aptitude, as if Lennok was selecting disciples right here and now.
Even Felix and Evelyn Jenny were looking around with interest.
Above the heads of such people, a whitish spiritual body flew and whispered incomprehensible trumpets.
[Stand in one line, ignorant organisms~]
[If you praise the fox, I will secretly send you to the front of the line~]
“… … .”
Only then did Lennok, realizing what was going on, sighed slightly and stood up.
It seemed that it would take some time to punish the spirit that wanted the youngest son instead of a disciple.
“Disciple… … .”
That moment when Lennok, lost in thought, inadvertently looked around.
The others straightened their backs and began to look at Lennok.
