Drug-Eating Genius Mage Chapter 176

Vault search (2)

“If Evan-sama is true, what we have to do is decided.”

The young man with his arms folded and his eyes closed answered.

A youthful impression as if he had just taken off his boyish clothes. However, in addition to exuding a fairly sharp spirit, he carries a long spear in his arms.

I wondered if I had to bring that thing to the conference room, but it didn’t seem too strange to carry my own weapon in a world like this.

Lennok could only tilt his head as he had never had a meeting with those who used long weapons like that.

While lost in useless thoughts, a thousand years continued.

“No matter how hard our watchers try, it will be impossible to single out the drug lord’s henchmen spread throughout the Dominion. It’s much more realistic to rob his safe and confirm the ledger’s existence within the three-day timeframe. What a great insight.”

“… … That’s right.”

At the words of the young man who suddenly painted his face with gilt, Lenoch replied with a shudder.

“A conclusion has been reached.”

Lapis nodded calmly.

“Evan-nim and Grisha-nim directly took care of it, so we shouldn’t waste time. We will move right away.”

* * *

At the point when the barrier was deployed, the blue eye decided to divide its power into two branches and move.

There was no reason to invest so much manpower in finding the drug lord’s safe, and there was no reason to waste the time of other watchers.

Watchers who could provide armed support, including Seon Seon, a young man with a spear, decided to go down to the Dominion immediately and help sort out the confusion.

It is to inform that the current wartime system is a drug lord’s trick and to actively request cooperation from other sorcerers in the autonomous territory.

Even if you do those two things to a certain level, the chaos in the floating island colony will be greatly reduced.

“You seem to have a lot on your mind.”

“… … well.”

“Focus. If it’s necessary, we may have to help with the magic maneuver.”

upper part of the tower.

Grisha spoke to Lennok, who was leaning against the wall of the celestial cavity that had returned.

The two were watching from a distance as Lapis was busily preparing the ceremony.

It is to find the safe of the drug lord by using the ability of the cheongyeon in this cavity where the night sky is reflected, where the power of the lighthouse keeper is strongest.

The required medium is a sample of Basilis mushroom collected from the collapsed island.

Through this, the location of Malabeth, which was collected from the same collapsed island, is searched with relative time, and the power of the spell is amplified with the statue taken from the underground vault of the government building.

In the end, I can’t pinpoint the exact location, but this is the most likely method.

After all, even if you don’t know anything else, you can be sure of one thing about where Malabeth is.

In order to meet the condition of Yakseon, he took a long, long step and climbed one more step.

The servants of the lighthouse who assisted her were busily drawing a magic circle while walking around, and Lapis landed at the center of the circle.

In his two small hands, he held the statue Lennok had brought.

A small floating island floating inside the three eyes.

Lapis said while touching the rusted statue with a sad expression.

“This statue was made by my grandmother, hoping for a bond between the dominion and the lighthouse. It is said that when my grandmother was in the midst of building her career as a lighthouse keeper, everyone praised her.”

“… … .”

“But now they have become objects that symbolize each other’s vices.”

Everything has changed in the hundred years since Madrea Falseer, the celestial dog, was engrossed in the duties of a lighthouse keeper.

Promises from long ago were buried, and even the duties and qualifications that were once performed for each other were lost.

Madrea Falseor tried to seal the rift between the Dominion and the lighthouse before she died as an ascendant, but to the people of the Dominion, did that seem like a pretense for the successor?

The gap once opened cannot be easily closed.

However, Lapis tried not to cling to the past and the fading dishonor.

“Rather than obsessing over the maintenance of my grandmother, I should focus on what I can do for this land. I have no regrets.”

Lapis’ ability to use the celestial dog was strongly influenced by Grisha’s method of using witchcraft, and it was possible to greatly enhance the ability of the celestial dog by offering an important object as a sacrifice.

A posthumous work of her grandmother who was left behind for her.

A symbolic object commemorating the relationship between the lighthouse keeper and the Dominion.

The eyes of a thousand dogs shine brighter as they burn memories that have passed away.

The statue Lapis had set down slowly melted in the heat of intense magical energy and flowed into the court of law, while at the same time a dazzling glow rose from the court of law surrounding her.

Faaaaaa!!

She opened her eyes and began to radiate intense light, then lifted her head and looked up at the night sky.

The eyes of the observer standing alone on the now ruined lighthouse do not stop searching.

Basilis Mushroom. The pupils of the Thousand Dog began to connect all the traces collected from the collapsed island.

Grisha, who was watching the scene from a distance, crossed his arms and murmured.

“It’s been 40 years since I’ve seen the lighthouse in action.”

“… … 40 years?”

I knew that I had lived a long time since I was said to be over 100 years old, but at this level, my sense of time is completely different from that of humans.

However, despite Lennok’s words, Grisha answered calmly.

“Hmm, you don’t know… … The tribes in my hometown usually had a long lifespan. On top of that, I’ve learned witchcraft to a fairly high level, so I’ve been living for a very long time. But isn’t that surprising?”

Lennok shook his head at the sight of Grisha, who suddenly tilted his head while giving a good answer.

“I just wondered how high-ranking magicians like you all live that long.”

“If it were me, it wouldn’t be such a special case. From the moment you start dealing with the power that touches the law, you will walk through a different time than others. Grandma must have lived dozens of times longer than me.”

“is it?”

He knew that the lifespan of high-ranking magicians was different from that of ordinary humans, but the important thing was whether that time would apply to Lennok as well.

How far does the trait [Jaein Park Myung] bind Lennok?

As he raised the level of his own magic and blossomed his unfathomable talent,

Lennok was now groping his hands to determine the end of the spell.

But Grisha, perhaps thinking of something else from those words, slowly crossed his arms and murmured.

“So I didn’t expect you to leave behind the granddaughter you got in your later years.”

“… … .”

“It is ironic. I thought I’d have to pay my debt to Grandma someday, but I never thought I’d be back in the Dominion like this. Could Grandma have been looking all this way?”

A silent gaze followed Lapis’ back.

Her figure, crouching inside the courtroom and raising her head, seemed very distant even among dozens of people.

“Those who are not interested in ascension do not know it well, but observing the open sea has a very important meaning in astronomy. Because at the point of observing the monsters that transcend the law with your own eyes, their existence is confirmed in the open sea and their movements are fixed.”

… … I think I’ve heard something similar in physics, but I couldn’t feel it.

But I could get a rough idea of what she was saying.

“You mean the lighthouse was the first line of defense against monsters in the open sea?”

“okay. That is why the lighthouse keeper’s mission has been handled by sharing the responsibility among the ascended and no one else. But now things have changed.”

“… … .”

“At least, the Transcendentalists who were friendly to humans have been cut off from all news for about 100 years, and most of them are madmen who have been twisted somewhere. In the end, there was only one option from the beginning.”

Lennok understood what she was talking about now.

She was telling Lennok the reasons why Lapis was selected as the next lighthouse keeper.

“So, in the end, Lapis was chosen.”

“In the end, the only ones with the possibility to properly handle the abilities of the Celestial Dog are those of the same Ascendant blood. The size of the bowl is incomparable to others.”

As the conversation continues, the radiance of the magic squad slowly fades and Lapis’s eyes become dim.

It won’t be long before the results will come one way or another.

“But even so, no one can be sure if that child will be able to become an ascendant. In anticipation of those miraculous odds, we gave her an absurdly heavy task.”

Grisha muttered.

“I have to pay off my debt to my grandmother.”

“Well… … . It seems to me that you have a more plausible reason than debt.”

Grisha, who reacted coldly to everything, said about Lapis, and you can guess the size of her compassion for the young lighthouse keeper.

Is it the same even for a giant who has realized the logic of witchcraft that he cannot be honest with his feelings rather than having a good reason to pay off his mental debt?

Grisha rubbed under his nose and stood up.

“The ceremony is over. let’s go.”

As she passed Lennok, her face had become infinitely colder than before.

“Because I don’t think I’ll be able to rest in peace until I get the juice master’s throat.”

* * *

“Found the trail.”

Lapis, who sat down on the court with all the lights off, spoke.

He was breaking out in a cold sweat as if the aftermath of using his ability hadn’t gone away.

The other observers who looked after her were diligently wiping off the sweat, but Lapis didn’t care.

“Inside the Dominion alone, there are three places where the soil remains. I’ll share the location right away, so write something down… … .”

Lapis, who immediately got a pen and paper, began to draw something with her elegant hands.

The three landscapes seen through the ability of the cheongyeon were put into a single sheet of paper in an instant.

Lennok and Grisha looked at the paper at the same time, lost in thought.

“hmm… … .”

“Do you have any guesses?”

“I can guess at one of the three places.”

Lennox spoke first.

He pointed to a picture of a wide field drawn at the bottom of the paper and said.

“Here is the plant from which I brought samples of the basilis mushroom. I think it can be excluded from the candidacy.”

It is natural that the locations overlap as we searched for soil brought from the collapsed island rather than specifying Malaves.

Perhaps this plant sells samples of leftover basilis mushrooms besides the ones Lennok bought.

“I know one other place.”

Then Grisha said.

“Old history museum directly managed by the autonomous region. There were rumors that it was moving to a new building, but I don’t know if it is still in operation.”

“Then there is only one place left… … .”

It is like looking out at the sun sinking at the tip of a floating island.

It was difficult to find out here with only the knowledge of three people.

“I guess I have no choice but to get help from others.”

“Fortunately, the landscape you saw, Lapis, shows the sun setting. If you carefully calculate the angle of view at sunset, it is not impossible to narrow the irradiation radius. but… … .”

“I don’t think we need to go all the way here.”

Grisha’s words were followed by Lennok.

Lapis widened her eyes.

“That means… … You mean the drug lord’s safe is in a historical museum?”

“okay. It probably must be.”

Grisha declared.

From the moment the word “history museum” came out of her mouth, Lennok knew it as well.

“Dominic Cavaro is precisely from the Dominion government. It also had a hand in the department that manages artifacts. At first, I thought I had reached out to those who had ties to the lighthouse, but I didn’t.”

Knowing that the man disguised as Enrico approached from the lighthouse side first, he set Lennok and Grisha into a trap, but at most it was an attack using dozens of soldiers.

In addition, instead of sending additional troops to catch them after the first raid was canceled, the drug lord directly threatened them.

In other words, it proved that the Dominion did not completely fall into the hands of drug lords.

“Some of the government employees were touched by the juice master. Among them was Enrico, head of the antiquities department. Why did he choose the officials of the artifacts department rather than those who would be more useful in taking over the Dominion?”

Only then did Lapis, realizing the meaning of Lennok’s words, let out a small exclamation.

“okay… … !! To use the site of the old building of the Historical Museum… … !!”

“okay. An official who is involved in the site of the museum, which has now moved to the new building. It would also have reached out to the Dominion government’s antiquities department, which could be directly involved in managing and transporting the remains of the museum, and would have taken full control of the site. Judging from the drug lord’s tendencies revealed so far, it’s probably certain.”

There is no need to hide the location with elaborate concealment and security techniques.

There is no reason to use your hands rashly because it is directly managed by the local government, but the site has already served its purpose.

In addition, the drug lord accurately captured and acquired the land in an exquisite position where he had to pay less attention even inside the government building.

“The old museum of history. Now it’s like putting your assets in an abandoned building where people can’t reach.”

Lennok laughed and stood up.

“Now it’s time for us to make the first move.”
