Drug-Eating Genius Mage

Training (1)

But, it must be something to think about after following Evelyn to the Mage’s Tower.

As he went down the bar, Jenny greeted him with a bored expression.

“I heard the story from Evelyn Marcia. He said he wanted to borrow half of you.”

“okay.”

Extreme consciousness acceleration at the general meeting of executives. Few have noticed more than that.

There would be no need to tell her about Ming’s intervention and the pandemonium.

Lennox answered with a faint smile, and Jenny sighed.

“Well, I won’t say anything because it’s what you decided, but… … know? Rumors there are very heinous these days.”

“… … .”

“The old friends of the Blaber Magic Tower are famous for being sloppy, but there must be a reason why they don’t even mention it after having a fight with the Pandemonium.”

Even though Jenny had only seen and heard it through newspapers and news, she seemed to have roughly guessed the inside story.

“It would be nice if things went smoothly, but… … .”

“It’s not about going to deal with the Magic Tower, it’s about investigating the extent to which they’re colluding with the Pandemonium.”

said Lennok.

“If you don’t want to make things worse, the other side will cooperate in moderation. Even if there is no income on the agent side, it won’t be too bad for me… … .”

He’s already been rewarded enough, but even more so because Lennok himself knows why this happened.

I didn’t feel any responsibility for turning the Pandemonium’s attention to it because I knew that the Blaber Magic Tower worked hand in hand with the drug lord to play tricks on the Dominion.

Even so, shouldn’t we check how the cause and effect created by Lennok came to an end?

In fact, after confirming that this type of disguise worked well, it would be possible to deal with it more easily the next time it got entangled with the pandemonium.

‘In the end, you’ll have no choice but to get entangled with Pandaemonium in some way…’ … .’

In this era of the monsters of the open sea approaching, you can guess the fact that only you can’t get out of it.

Or maybe it would be a lie if I didn’t even have the ominous imagination that Lennok’s entanglement itself was related to this series of events.

That’s why Lennok felt the need to approach pandemonium from this side.

The need to pick and choose the necessary information against enemies he can handle, not against monsters he can’t touch immediately, such as Ming or Croken.

The information from Blue Eye or Lapis was not enough.

The meaning of opening the sky in Pandemonium and why the current order has to be disrupted by inviting monsters from the open sea.

Perhaps this was an opportunity for Lennok.

Undeveloped areas. desert area.

Early morning when the sun hadn’t risen yet.

Winter is coming and the average temperature is gradually rising, but even so, the breath leaks out naturally at this time.

Lennok, who stood leaning against the light of the tobacco in his mouth, lifted his head when he felt a familiar sign approaching nearby.

“You are late.”

Boaaaang!!

Three men and women, led by Evelyn, were running toward us with two jeeps.

Large off-road tires in a rough sand color. The loosely tightened iron cage is impressive.

Beyond simply crossing the desert, it seemed that they had prepared to some extent as they had to think about the volcanic area where the mage tower was located.

Evelyn poked her head out of the passenger seat and smiled at Lennok.

“Did you wait long? I mean, there are a lot of things to prepare. It will take a week to reach the volcanic zone, but there shouldn’t be one or two things you need.”

“Does not matter. I didn’t wait that long.”

He, too, had just arrived on a bike and put a shrinking spell on it before storing it.

Lennok had also been to the cartel’s executive safe for today, as well as to the warlock Raul’s artifact shop.

Since we don’t know what will happen in the Blaber Magic Tower, we couldn’t neglect our preparations either.

As Lennok climbed into the back seat of the jeep, the driver at the wheel immediately began driving the jeep out of the city.

Doo doo doo!

Leaving the dawning megacities behind, he runs through the desert while breathing in sand dust.

The agent behind the wheel giggled, but Lennok and Evelyn’s expressions were perfectly calm.

At the same time as the sun starts to rise, the temperature rises rapidly.

Faced with the raging wind, Lennok took off his coat and stored it with a shrinking magic.

After putting on a thin shirt, I felt much lighter.

There were three people in one jeep and two people and a lot of luggage in the other jeep.

Evelyn said as if she had noticed Lennok’s gaze.

“This is a present for the old friends of the Blaver Magic Tower. Even if it’s from this side, we can’t openly go to investigate the Magic Tower, so we’ll have to face it properly.”

“It’s a gift that high-ranking mages of the Mage Tower would like… … “

It’s similar to what I gave you as an advance payment. Something like a rare medicine or elixir. Do you know how many older magicians are obsessed with their health?”

“… … .”

There is no way that Lennok, who once competed with the apostate monk obsessed with life, would not know that.

I’ve already seen enough of how obsessed with time those older people cling to.

I only saw one side of it in my work with the cartel, but I was well aware that other sorcerers were not so different.

Wasn’t Lenok himself running tirelessly like this in order to throw off his bridle?

While deep in thought, the jeep quickly moves out of the Balkan.

undeveloped area. An area where well-known contaminants as a side effect of the Black Consumer Project are still alive.

[Kieek!!]

Lennok and Evelyn move forward, sweeping away the monsters rushing towards the living creatures as if they were natural.

I felt the gaze of the vagrants living in an undeveloped district without even receiving proper resident registration, but as soon as I decided to run to escape the desert area, the clinging gaze quickly disappeared.

After passing through the magnetic storm located beyond the desert area, the meadow where the bushes are alive and breathing begins to be seen.

It was only then that different landscapes began to be reflected beyond the empty horizon.

“hmm.”

Lennok sat back in the back of the jeep and began to enjoy the scenery around him.

Even when I left for the Dominion, I tried going out of the Balkans, but it was the first time moving in this direction.

In addition, the direction the party is headed is a route that slightly misses the center of the continent.

In other words, it is a distance that passes from the side of the front line where the Balkan defense forces are located.

Right direction the jeep is running. Lennok cast his eyes at a huge object that appeared dimly among the mountains, blown by the meadow wind.

Its size is so huge that it can be clearly seen even from a distance.

The sight of him moving slowly through the mountains while supporting his body with his long eight-pronged legs is so intense that he cannot easily forget it once he sees it.

“Is it a mobile fortress of the National Guard… … .”

Evelyn turned her head at Lennok’s muttering.

“Normally, he’ll be waiting in camouflage, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen him in person.”

“… … .”

Lennok had only heard about it through rumors, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

The core of the military power that supports the defense lines that exist in megacities.

Siege warfare and bombardment battles centered on several mobile forts closely connected to the front line were the symbol of a megalopolis, and in the later part of the war, the fort itself was said to act as a frontline.

Until Balkan, which shed its affiliation as a nation and established itself as a city-state, was incomparable to the achievements of that steel fortress.

Now it was slowly rusting in a precarious peace.

“Recently, there is a saying that they are focusing on maintenance as the waiting order has been getting longer. It’s clear that moving forts like that would be better for the machine’s lifespan than standing still… … It is unavoidable.”

At Evelyn’s words, the agent who had not said a word while behind the wheel opened his mouth.

“A lot of my classmates want to come back to the city. A massive reduction in the size of the ground forces would be inevitable.”

“Were you in the military?”

At Lennok’s words, the agent nodded slightly.

“I was wounded and discharged during the war.”

“Among the agents, there are quite a few retired soldiers. It is possible to immediately put into operation without any special training, and they feel much more comfortable than on the battlefield… … .”

Having said that, Evelyn smiled at Lennok.

“Similar to Dray who joined your company.”

“… … Did you know?”

“Of course, it’s just that Dray Krimgal is collecting it, so nothing much has been said, but if that number of special forces graduates are released to the city at once, there will be problems in one way or another.”

Listening to Eveline’s words, it seemed that the agent’s evaluation of Dray Krimgal was quite high.

Considering his discernment and personality, it was not incomprehensible because he was not lacking in taking the position of head of an organization.

“Originally, I was planning to collect more members from this side who had nowhere else to go… … . Recently, things have been so bad for us, so there was nothing we could do about it.”

“… … .”

“Except for the Air Force, which has fleet power, all other military branches are undergoing major budget cuts right now. Eventually, the military power protecting the Balkans will be reorganized around the fleet.”

Evelyn muttered as she looked at the fortress with a complicated expression, and Lennok was also lost in thought.

Come to think of it, didn’t Lennok meet quite a few retired soldiers?

Considering that the scavenger branch manager whom I had previously met during an operation with the Krimgal office, and the weapons traded with by Beck Clinton of the cigar-bang gang, were also retired soldiers living in the satellite city, this did not happen yesterday or today. .

On top of that, the Drae who were in his company right away and the current employees he took over.

Considering that a not small number are returning to the city after completing military service, it is not a problem to be overlooked.

The mobile fortress standing in the middle of the mountain range has gradually lost its original color and begins to blend into the surrounding landscape.

The jeep, which ran through the meadow at high speed, passed the fort that was quickly becoming blurry and disappeared.

* * *

Pajijijik!!

The electric light rising from the darkness grazed Evelyn’s shoulder in an instant and disappeared.

meadow night. When the moon is waning, even the starlight cannot properly illuminate the ground.

Only the light of the magic that each other burns gently illuminates the surroundings.

Evelyn glanced at the light that disappeared behind her and moved forward without hesitation.

In sync with her steps, the sand that jumped out of the ground in an instant grabbed her legs and the shockwave that fell from above restricted her space to escape.

Kagagak!!

However, the sand that rises from the ground stirs the air idly, and her new model, which leaps a short distance away, quickly closes the distance towards the opponent.

At the same time as she raised her mana, a green light rose from her eyes, and her eyes, which had been shaking in the air like wisps of fire, rushed in without hesitation.

PABABABABABABAK!!

No one in this room knew exactly how many times the outstretched arm in the darkness had stirred the space.

Only the noise left after her shoulder rotated violently gave any idea of its speed.

However, instead of backing down, her opponent also countered the fierce series of attacks from the front.

damn… … !!

From the shadows beneath her feet, her greedy mouth rises, and at the same time, the rushing electric light surrounds her in all directions and squeezes her in a circle.

In the dark, the magician who was attached to the tip of dozens of lightning bolts swayed delicately, adjusted the position, and pressed the space meticulously.

Wedge love!!

Doo doo doo doo!!!

The forearm-sized electric shock mercilessly pierced the place Evelyn was standing on and rotated.

Every time it hits the ground, it flashes and explodes.

It raises dust on the ground in succession, but in between, formless flashes stir without hesitation and move forward.

The graceful footwork, as if walking on clouds.

But even more impressive than that is the agility that seems to break the laws of physics.

The speed itself is slow, as if there is no need to use all one’s power, but the movement shown when avoiding attacks from all directions contains more than seven directions in one breath.

Proof that he was aware of the location and speed of onslaughts coming from all directions and was calculating the route in his head.

Aside from its graceful movements, the number of battles that are attacked also increases rapidly over time.

It’s not enough to completely recover the magical energy once fired without wasting it, so he catches the missed attack on the spot and explodes it, using it as a paving stone for the next attack.

Crossing the dot or line, filling the surface and occupying the entire space, blocking Evelyn’s approach, and at the same time increasing the power of magic step by step.

The number of magicians who control the shooting magic continues to increase, and the middle of the plain shines brightly with a flash so intense that it is impossible to see in the past.

PAAAAAAAAA!!!

“Don’t stop here.”

As soon as the words were finished, the dark green flash in Evelyn’s hand ran through the air and tore away the magical power scattered everywhere.

Ugh support!!

In an instant, with a strange sound as if the whole mana was being crushed, a gap opened in the encirclement that had attacked her from all over the area.

As if they had made a promise, the remaining magical powers exquisitely passed her by and exploded in all directions.

Kwaaaaang!!

Only then did Lennox let go of his hand.

His expression was calm, but the tobacco he was holding in his mouth had already burned all the way to the end of the filter.

It was easy to guess just how focused Lennok had been.

Evelyn smiled lightly as she walked towards Lennok.

“I guessed when you asked me this, but it exceeded my expectations.”

“… … .”

“If mana can be manipulated so precisely, is it possible to fight head-on with the avant-garde? Seeing it in person makes me even more incomprehensible.”

“This is not something I would have heard from someone who had held it up until now.”

Lennok replied with a sullen expression.

Certainly the fight looked pretty intense, but Lennok was well aware that he wasn’t pulling her full force.

Up until now, Evelyn had only one arrow in her hand.

She didn’t even take out her equipment, but had been fending off Lennok’s attacks with a single arrow built into the equipment.

It is worth guessing how far Ibelin’s skills have reached, considering that not even an ordinary wizard, but even a tolerable avant-garde, can’t even gauge Lennok’s attack and defense.

Even close combat isn’t her specialty.

But Evelyn shook her head and smiled.

“You didn’t use any high-ranking magic, so what… … what good Let’s do it like this for today. While going to the volcanic zone, you can figure out how far you have to mix your hands while adjusting your strength.”

Saying that, she leaned against a nearby rock and ran her hair through her hair.

Not a single drop of sweat ran down her face, even though she ran everywhere like a ghost.

“If you have any questions, I will answer them. Ask them.”

“… … wait a minute.”

Looking at her like that, Lennok slowly began to recall the couplets that had just taken place.

Evelyn’s strangely positive attitude was quite different from before, but no one in the party here pointed it out.

The last condition Lennok put forward in exchange for accepting Ibelin’s request.

That was the condition that Evelyn asked to be Lennok’s combat training partner while traveling to and from the volcanic area.
