Drug-Eating Genius Mage

Design (1)

I want to check the object by chewing it right now, but in reality, it was an object used for drug production.

It wouldn’t be strange if he chewed it up and swallowed it, then fainted from the stimulus.

I suppressed my urgency and took out the sack I had brought from my pocket.

On the inside of the sack, soil from the warehouse is laid, and Malabeth is placed on top of it, tied together and sealed with magical power.

A portable carrying bag made to transport medicines obtained with the help of Jenny. A valuable item that doubles as an artifact.

While Lennok was taking care of Malabeth, Grisha also came towards him, as if he had found something.

“Look at this.”

What Grisha held out was a rough-looking notebook made of dozens of sheets of paper weaved together.

“It’s a record book for managing the export of medicinal materials. I looked to see if there were other ledgers, but for now this is the only one.”

“You mean we didn’t just keep the medicines in the warehouse.”

“The number of names written here is a little over twenty. I wonder if the number of gangs managed by the drug lord is about that.”

“It’s likely more than that. It would mean that the number of people who actually contribute to warehouse management and control of the Dominion is that much… … But once you get your hands on the manager’s name, it’s good news… … .”

As Lennok paused, Grisha turned his head.

“Any problem?”

“… … no. It’s because the name and the place I remember don’t match. this is probably… … It’s not a coincidence. Let’s get out of here for now.”

After Lennok said that, he stood up and Grisha immediately took care of the rest.

He gathered all the medicines that had been in his warehouse into a strange gourd that he was holding in his hand.

It had already been agreed upon in advance, so Lennok said nothing.

Anyway, the act of breaking the drug lord’s safe was entirely decided to help Lennok.

Those medicines would end up in Lennok’s pocket intact after all the work was done.

Lennox didn’t even think that Lapis would break his promise in this area, so he didn’t care about Grisha’s behavior.

Rather, I was more concerned about the fact that the gourd she had was hung with a space-based preservation technique.

Perhaps because she was a long-lived sorcerer, it seemed that she also possessed all sorts of rare artifacts.

In fact, the reason why Lennok had not revealed all his skills in front of talented magicians was also focused on that to some extent.

Guys like Weizen are also carrying various artifacts with the mage tower as a solid background.

If so, how much power would the treasures carried by more skilled sorcerers and warriors have?

For high-ranking magicians like Grisha, it was not strange at all to carry a bundle of relics.

There must be any number of artifacts that can assist even a person as talented as her in battle.

And that also applies to drug lords and those skilled in pandemonium.

“Let’s go back. Now that it’s clear that the drug lord is wasting his time, we shouldn’t delay our action either.”

“Did you notice?”

To Lennok’s words, Grisha replied indifferently.

“If the guy who immediately sent you a message just approached the government building is holding his mouth shut even after opening his safe, there is only one reason… … .”

Yes.

Two high-ranking sorcerers above level 6 are rummaging through his warehouse, but it is absurd that he is unaware of the drug lord’s tenacious personality.

If this is the reason why there is no signal even though all the heterogeneous species and homunculus guarding the warehouse have been subdued and the contents have been wiped out.

“He’s not in a position to pay attention to the storage in the exhibition hall right now. Or you’re in a situation where you can’t show that you care.”

And the reason is probably because, as he said, he is concentrating on a way to break through the barriers placed throughout the Dominion and march into it.

Grisha glanced at Lennok and immediately rose from his seat.

“I can’t guess anything from looking at this guy, but Evan, you must have figured out something, right?”

“… … okay. Probably not without progress.”

“good. Then let’s go back to the lighthouse and talk.”

If you share information about the magic that the drug lord uses, you can roughly guess how he is trying to exert influence throughout the Dominion.

Knowing means being able to deal with it.

Lennok was immersed in agony as he watched the back of Grisha carrying the bottle and the fainting body of the homunculus outside.

‘It’s a difficult problem… … .’

The more you dig into the alchemy Juice Master uses and its intentions.

After all, I thought that taking care of him here was the cleanest way to settle things.

Dominic Cavaro must arrive in the Dominion one way or another.

Even if he didn’t care about the safe being robbed right now, his tenacity meant that he would try to track down Lennok and retaliate in some way.

Although he changed his face once to hide his journey to the Dominion, Chung’s eyes know that Lennok is working at Rabatenon University under the identity of Evan.

If Blue Eye is defeated by the drug lord here, the probability of Lennok’s undercover identity being discovered will greatly increase.

In order to prevent this situation, they planned to steal only Malabeth secretly, but the plan went awry when the drug lord realized the existence of the lighthouse and took the initiative to attack the Dominion.

What if, instead of trying to escape somehow while hiding until the duration of the barrier is over, what if the drug lord was dealt fatal damage to the extent that he would not even think of retaliation?

Most of the members of Pandemonium don’t attach any affection to the organization, and they tend not to care about each other’s safety.

The probability of getting retaliation for stealing and running away from a drug lord, and the probability of retaliation for killing a member of the pandemonium.

It was a matter of not having to think about which one would be the appropriate choice because there was no remorse left.

‘If the alchemy he deals with is really that of World 1.0 I know… … It’s not like there’s no way.’

In World 1.0, alchemy is remembered as a skill of misfortune that saw the light right before the service ended, but it was not without its advantages and disadvantages.

As it was a skill specialized in combining and combining real things, it was so vulnerable in completely different fields.

And it wasn’t that the means hadn’t been given to Lennok.

“… … .”

And if Lennok can obtain the alchemy of the first world… … .

‘It may be possible to create the medicine yourself.’

Lennok, who had thought that far, stopped worrying for now.

Now was the time to move.

Two wingboats were waiting for the two magicians at the empty dock.

Pleasure is one of man’s most powerful motives.

It can be savored with the tongue, smelled with the nose, heard with the ears, and seen with the eyes.

The moment I first tasted the sensation that stimulates the human brain in a completely different way.

He had a hunch that this would be a means to rule the world.

“Are you all ready?”

A calm woman answered in the dark.

“We have all the power sources we need. The biggest problem, sorcery resistance, was solved in an instant by using good ingredients.”

“… … good.”

Excessive stimulation is rather like pain. At first, you can’t get used to it and don’t know what to do, but as time passes, you become numb.

That is why when gifting it to others, the important thing is not to stimulate it strongly, but to leave a sense of regret.

A faint regret left after the satisfaction you get after drinking it once.

People wander blindly in pursuit of pleasure in order to make up for that deficiency.

Dominic Cavaro’s life was marked by giving the world just such regret.

“2 We confirmed the damage to the warehouse prepared on the floating island. Shall we take action?”

“Leave it alone. I expected that the hidden tail would be revealed at the point of completing the cache using the Dominion’s Relics Department.”

The basics of business are spending and investing.

Entrepreneurs should not be afraid of losses, and there is no reason to be preoccupied with imminent losses.

Although the value of the medicines piled up in the warehouse is considerable, it would be perfect if the observers thought they had caught the clue of the truth with this.

It is always desirable to hide one piece of truth behind another.

“There is not much time left. Even if you unlock all the foundations invested in the Dominion, if you can only find out the location of the lighthouse, that’s enough… … .”

Saying that, Dominic slowly took off his entire body, revealing his muscular naked body.

A hand that reached out from the darkness naturally accepted his clothes.

He walked slowly into the darkness and bathed himself in the cold, icy water directly beneath him.

In the freezing cold, he let out a low sigh and lay down slowly.

“Whoa… … No matter how many times I try, I never get used to it. This materialization… … .”

“It is better to consider yourself lucky. Being able to reduce the pain of the caster by reducing the materialization process this much would have been a groundbreaking discovery at the time.”

A calm female voice rang out.

“Of course, this process has the advantage of minimizing physical seizures and maximizing assimilation, but the most important thing is the awareness that oneself is ‘fixed’… … It is a great masterpiece that acknowledges the stark reality that the mind cannot eventually break free from the bondage of the body.”

“Heh heh… … There is no inspiration in the achievements of the dregs of a forgotten world. Shut up and start.”

No answer came.

In the bone-chilling icy water, the drug lord closed his eyes and thought.

Others are busy praising him as one of the few denizens of the underworld, but they know nothing of what matters.

The more he accumulates wealth than anyone else, the more desperately he realizes the last lack left for him.

Rule the world is the logic of power after all.

And the simple fact that money can never stand above it as long as there are transcendents outside of royalties.

So Dominic had been searching for one thing for a long time.

Something to fill his lack of power with his overflowing money.

And Pandemonium perfectly fulfilled that very wish.

Using the art of alchemy, the technology of a forgotten world, I taught him that life is but a game.

It was time to start a new game.

Right in the home of the great Ascendant, the Dominion of Philenom.

“The preparations are complete. Power transmission extracted from 80 bodies including new bodies. Ready to rebuild. 30 seconds until the start of the materialization transition process.”

Woooooooooo!!

At that moment, the ice water in which the drug lord was submerged began to slowly freeze his body as it glowed with a frost-like light.

Dominic opened his mouth as he stared at his limbs froze.

“Come to think of it, the magic he used was familiar somewhere… … I bet you don’t intend to change your mind now.”

“yes?”

“I have something to say to Soryu when I return.”

With those words, Dominic’s consciousness went silent.

Lennok and Grisha returned to the lighthouse.

She was about to throw the bottle and the fainted man in front of the lighthouse, but she picked up the luggage again with a trembling face.

“… … I don’t think it’s time to borrow someone’s hand.”

Lennok looked up at the sky and murmured.

Hundreds of wingboats were flying in all directions in the sky of the lighthouse, which had been quiet even before departure.

Immediately, I was able to hear the whole story from Lapis, who was in command of the whole situation in the conference room.

Beside her, there were more than a dozen observers assisting with the current situation, but among them, there was only one magic user.

It was evidence that observers who could provide military support had all headed out of the lighthouse.

“Across the Dominion, strange, flesh-like xenomorphs roam.”

The pale-faced woman spoke in a quick voice.

“There are no casualties on Floating Island 2 and Floating Island 3, where residents have been evacuated, but on the contrary… … .”

“It means that on other floating islands, conversely, the damage is increasing. Putting people in one place has actually become a source of trouble.”

“If there is a full-scale attack like this, there will be only one reason for that.”

The observer standing next to Lapis said with a stiff face.

“The drug lord seems to have finished all preparations in just one day.”
