Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 921
약먹는 천재마법사 921화
conference(4)
The afternoon of the day the meeting mentioned by the necromancer was scheduled.
Area 49, Magic Tower of Fastness. Deep in the lowest tier area.
Lennok and Dabi were sitting around a large tablet and discussing something for a while.
[master. Can I really do this?]
“okay.”
[No matter how much I think about it, I think there will be too many bugs…]
“We will drastically lower access rights and reduce performance. “If the information processing speed is limited, the function itself will be usable.”
[Hmm, I see. Oh my, like this….]
The appearance of a giant fox moving busily in an underground cavity while making strange exclamations.
Lennok watched in silence as Dabi concentrated on his work while wagging his six tails.
Arsnova’s search engine, obtained through a five-hundred-route competition on the deep web.
In the process of finding information about the leader and leader, the search engine became overloaded and broke, but Lennok did not give up on the search engine.
The work of fixing the search engine through Raktasha and other deep web administrators and restoring it using Dabi’s abilities went smoothly.
What really worried Lennok was a problem other than the search engine.
‘Kundara’s orbital cycle….’
[A curtain] blocking the road to the central city.
The fact that the inviolable barrier that no one has been able to break through until now was actually the work of a single city.
It is not difficult to guess why Oliveira told Lennok that.
He must have recognized the fact that Lennok was planning to visit the Forbidden City as some kind of means, and decided that he could use that method as a transaction condition.
In addition, he sold other information about the outer city by linking it with the central front, and his resourcefulness is still astounding.
Nevertheless, it could not be denied that the series of advance payments she mentioned were useful information to Lennok.
Oliveira Ron Maze was a wizard who once traveled around the continent, absorbed in the search for magic and truth.
Only she knows how many secrets the head of the cartel, who settled in a huge city after her long journey, holds.
She said, ‘I think I know why it’s called an orbital cycle, but….’
However, if Lennok’s guess is as expected, it would be strange for a city called Kundara to even exist in this world.
Just thinking about what attempts the Jangsaeng species of the Abyssal City are making to avoid destruction is mind-boggling.
In order to turn speculation into certainty, you will eventually have to agree to a deal with Oliveira.
Above all, it is necessary to confirm what the cartel chairman is dreaming of and what he is aiming for for Anathema’s cause and effect.
Why is the person who was most deeply involved in the Black Consumer project now trying to control cause and effect again?
Lennok raised his gaze as he thought so.
“What do you think you can do?”
[Hmm, when I first heard the explanation, I thought it was nonsense…]
Dabi took a step back, laid down on his back, and looked up at Lennok.
[It’s a lot easier than you think since you start with performance down, right? If this were to happen, it would be possible to operate within today.]
“Let’s get started right away.”
Lennok said and immediately raised his magic power.
Faaah!!
Developed by overlapping Dabi’s magnetic area in the underground cavity of the Magic Tower. The tower’s sphere of influence is constructed as a physically materialized global brain space.
Lennok, who had pulled down the tail of a giant fox floating in the realm of dream vision, stood in front of a huge telescopic screen.
“Set address. Building an English-language network. Engraved with Eonryeonghoe.”
[Yap, yap, yap.]
Following Lennok’s words, Dabi rubs his paw on the screen, and in an instant, a site is created on the Deep Web network.
A simple design with only a pure white input window floating on an empty screen.
“good.”
Lennok nodded in satisfaction after checking the site where only the cursor for entering words was blinking slowly.
“I think this will be enough. “This is the completion of a portal site using Arsnova’s search engine.”
The search engine software was overloaded and broken after searching for information about the leader and leader.
But Lennok didn’t throw away or forget about the search engine even after he finished his business.
They set up Dabi as an artificial intelligence that manages the search engine, restored the algorithm, secured authority, and created a site equipped with a search engine on the deep web.
“Although performance was limited to prevent overload, it is a product with more powerful search capabilities than any community or site that existed on the deep web.”
Lennok said as he looked at the completed site with a satisfied expression.
“If the performance becomes known through word of mouth, users will gather, and if it goes well, it will be possible to secure big data from deep web users.”
Although he had come into contact with deep web administrators, Lennok had no intention of relying on them to find or gather information.
Since he has acquired and kept the authority of the search engine, there is no reason to keep it idle.
Lennock planned to run his own search engine and attract traffic and floating population from the deep web.
“good. Then take a test right away-”
Although the site has been completed, it is necessary to check whether the search engine is working properly.
As Lennok said that, he immediately summoned the remote keyboard and was about to enter a search term into the portal site search box.
Suddenly, a series of search records began to appear at the bottom of the search bar.
“…hmm?”
[Cute Spirit Voting Ranking]
[How to get fox spirit votes]
[Youngmul Community]
Unfamiliar keywords that Lennok has never searched for.
[Elemental Body Cruise Package Travel]
[What a pet does to divert its owner’s attention]
[Collection of sightings of the Labatenon fox spirit]
“….”
The moment Lennok was about to scroll down the search history with a strange expression, Dabi fiercely waved his front paw in front of Lennok’s eyes.
[Wow! Wow!!]
The sight of Dabi unable to speak properly, screaming strangely and writhing his whole body.
[Wow!! Wow!!]
“….”
Only then did Lennok realize who the owner of this search history was, and he cleared his throat and took a quick step back.
Lennok said while looking at Dabi, who was furiously scratching and deleting the portal site’s search history with his front paw.
“Hmm… I didn’t mean to.”
[Whoa, whoa!!]
“Now that I think about it, it would be okay to take a package tour of the spirit body someday for relaxation-”
The giant fox, breathing heavily, turned his six stiff tails and looked at Lennok.
[it’s nothing.]
“what?”
[It’s nothing.]
“…okay. sorry.”
The search history that Lenno just looked at was nothing.
The record of Dabi’s diligent attempts at ego-searching on the deep web is not left in everyone’s memory right now.
Lennok, who decided to be convinced, quickly changed the topic by looking at the search window of the portal site that had been cleaned up.
“Anyway, if you narrow down and organize the areas where search volume is high on the deep web, you can immediately recognize topics or trends that are attracting attention in real time in the Balkans.”
[I see.]
Lennok calmly explained, pretending not to notice Dabi’s answer, which he tried to respond to.
“Once you start properly securing search data, it will be of great help to your future business and information acquisition.”
[If there are a lot of users, you can make money by receiving a lot of advertisements!]
“No, I didn’t think about it that far, but…”
Lennok cleared his throat and nodded his head towards Dabi.
“Of course, you can’t sit still and wait for guests to come. “I would like to ask for active promotion.”
[master. Do not worry.]
Dabi suddenly became passionate and placed his front paw on his head with a confident expression.
The moment Lennok laughed, recognizing that it was a hand gesture that imitated the warning that humans commonly make.
[In about 3 days, there will be no organism on the deep web that does not know about the search engine we created!!]
“okay. “I’d like to ask you for a favor on that… hmm?”
Now that I think about it, Dabi’s way of causing trouble on the deep web…
After thinking about that, Lennok hurriedly retrieved the area spread out in the cavity and walked out.
Sometimes, there are things you have to turn a blind eye to for the greater good.
I pretended not to notice the magnificent sight of Dabi logging into the deep web community with dozens of accounts at the same time, and headed towards the back entrance of the tower.
‘The remaining time is… about 3 hours.’
Considering the scheduled time of the meeting, we will have to leave the tower immediately after a few hours.
After completing the deal with Oliveira, I made various preparations for the meeting for two days, but there was one last thing left to prepare.
Kang, Kang!!
A huge temporary workshop built with a steel frame located at the back gate of the Magic Tower.
The sound of metal being roughly struck is heard and at the same time, intense heat radiates out.
The rising haze seems to be burning my skin.
Lennok chanted a simple common magic to protect his skin and face over the shield and immediately walked into the workshop.
“Palmer?”
“Hey, wizard!!”
Kang, Kang, Kang!!
A bulbous man with a bushy beard.
A middle-aged man with a strong smell of oil responded by hammering like crazy.
Every time you hit a hammer, sparks pour down like a waterfall, and you don’t have any protective gear.
Palmer, the craftsman who was hit with his bare face by the bouncing fire barrel, shouted.
“What are you going to do if you call someone and come crawling out now?”
“sorry. “I was a little busy with what I was doing.”
“Well, I still like the workshop decorated here.”
Palmer said confidently, throwing the hammer over his shoulder.
“I’ll use some for the time being. “No complaints?”
“I asked you for a favor for this matter, so it doesn’t matter. Did you fight with Dyke again?”
Palmer is a blacksmith whom Lennok has known for quite some time. He is a craftsman whom he became familiar with while carrying out a commissioned request from the Dyke Company.
However, after he left his job with Dyke due to a disagreement, he repeatedly quit working with them.
It was not unusual for Palmer, who had a great talent for modifying and manufacturing firearms and industrial tools, to attempt to collaborate with Dyke, who had entered the weapons business.
“That’s not the case this time.”
Palmer responded bluntly.
“It’s been a while since you asked for help. “It was just a short outing.”
“I never imagined that Master Palmer would have such a warm heart.”
“of course. “If not at times like this, when would you show condescension to the archmage?”
In response to Lennok’s absurd response, Palmer straightened his shoulders and shouted.
“How convenient is it to work with high-ranking magicians? “I have a lot of rare ingredients and they pay me a lot of money, but my eyes are low so I’m satisfied with making things roughly!!”
“….”
“After hitting the hammer a few times and performing a few flashy tricks, he would get over it and become a regular. Hehehe, I miss those days….”
“I don’t want to miss Master Palmer’s skills right now.”
“I’m kidding, you guy.”
Palmer chuckled and punched Lennok on the shoulder.
“Well, anyway, the remodeling has been completed as you wanted, so please check it out. “It is a Gespenst, a custom Ego sniper rifle made by Akin Scherger.”
Slam!!
A dark black gun barrel with a faint ghost-like ghostly glow.
In terms of size alone, it easily exceeds Lennok’s upper body, and the entire streamlined gun is soft and smooth as if it will slide.
An object that has been modified to load by pulling the lever, eject the shell immediately after firing, and reload.
What’s unusual is that the part where the scope’s lens should be is dented.
“Because it is made of Gream V alloy, there will be no deterioration of the barrel due to shooting recoil. The built-in elver spring condenser is one of Gearside’s components made to condense horsepower to the limit and explode it.”
Palmer explained, raising his rifle with both hands.
Grrr!! click!
“The barrel of the rifle is modified with the magic isomer ‘thorium’, so the width of the muzzle can be freely adjusted according to the caliber of the bullet. The particle stone used in the trigger is extracted from the gallbladder of the demon beast Hyukgwi (赫鬼), and is well-received by enthusiasts for being both hard and cushiony.”
To put it casually, every time you touch the rifle, all the parts quickly undergo disassembly and assembly, revealing their structure.
The wonder of disassembling and reassembling the entire rifle on the spot while holding it in your hand.
In the process, the hand movements that did not let any of the magic power charged in the magazine leak were delicate, not fitting for Palmer’s appearance.
“Crucially, the retinal capture motion detection system built into the rifle is a masterpiece that brought Akinscher to its current position. “There is a limit to the fact that the performance of the system depends on the accuracy of the scope, but even if you search all continents, there are only three types of guns, including this one, that apply aim correction even after the trigger is pulled.”
thud!!
asked Palmer, putting the heavy rifle down on the workbench.
“I admit that you, who had no interest in the gun industry, had the insight to pick this item and ask it to be remodeled… So what on earth are you planning to use this item for?”
“Are you curious about that now?
“I wonder why a guy of the level of an archmage is looking for imported firearms now.”
Palmer said grumpily with his arms crossed.
“I hate to say it myself, but it’s not worth the cost. “If you’re going to modify a rifle and use it, wouldn’t it be more efficient to apply magic from the beginning?”
“That’s literally nothing Father Palmer would say.”
“I don’t know if you are born with a talent for handling firearms, but no matter how you look at it, you are not a born musketeer.”
Palmer’s eyes turned serious for an instant as he looked at Lennok.
“You don’t have the obsession of those who risk their lives with a single bullet. He just plays with his favorite toys out of sheer talent. ”
“That’s surprising. Is that what you were thinking of me?”
Lennok chuckled.
Even after becoming a level 8 archmage, Palmer’s attitude towards Lennok did not change much.
Is it because in his eyes, Lennok still looks like a brat who used to modify an old pistol?
However, because of his attitude, Lennok occasionally visited Palmer and entrusted him with repairing and modifying the guns in his possession.
“I don’t deny it either.”
Lennok said, reaching for the rifle that Palmer had already modified.
“Unless you are as talented as the Demon Musketeer, firearms are ultimately highly dependent on materials and parts. “It wouldn’t be surprising if Master Palmer looked like he wanted a toy.”
“….”
“But in other words, doesn’t that mean that the better the materials and parts, the better the performance?”
“what?”
Lennok, ignoring Palmer’s retort, took out a small sphere from his pocket.
Something as small as a human eye and shining softly, surrounded by pure white brilliance.
A strangely shaped artifact that looks as if it was carved by imitating the human eye with a colorful jewel.
“you….”
“And I have quite a bit of supplies to make up for my lack of talent.”
Palmer, who recognized at a glance that it was an unusual object, hardened his face, and Lennok raised his hand.
An artifact in the shape of an eye is inserted into the place where the rifle scope’s lens should be.
click!!
The sight of eyes spinning on the barrel of a rifle along with the cheerful noise of parts being properly assembled.
“…You’re out of your mind.”
Only then did Palmer mutter with a shocked expression.
“That’s a relic-level artifact, right? “You’re going to use something like that as a scope lens for a rifle?”
The eyes of heaven.
Ascendant Heavenly Gyeon, a magic weapon used directly by Madrea Falseer.
This is an item that Lapis gave as a gift in exchange for retrieving the authority of the fifth lighthouse.
Although he changed his appearance slightly to fool Palmer, the ability itself is still intact.
Shape of the pupil. The lighthouse keeper’s drinking cup. A relic-level artifact.
The performance has reached a transcendental level for a scope component in that it goes beyond seeing something and induces a specific field of view.
“There are many things to do at this meeting.”
Lennok laughed.
“I think this level of preparation is necessary.”
“Are you saying you’re making preparations like this to go kill someone?”
“Rather than going there to kill… it seems like there’s someone I need to meet.”
There is not much time left until midnight.
This gun modification work will be the final preparation before the summit.
But there was no other reason why Lennok left this work until the end.
Lennok’s eyes sank deeply as he stroked the smooth barrel of the gun.
“Because you can’t carry embarrassing equipment around in front of the real Demon Musketeer.”
