Drug-Eating Genius Mage

The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 984

Central Front Border Zone (1)

Central Front.

The continent’s largest battleground built around Arsnova.

This vast front spanning the center of the continent has not been important for a single moment since the fall of the central city.

Fertile soil. Diverse environments encompassing mountain ranges and plains. The legacy of a central city that was said to have one-third of the world’s wealth and supplies.

Countless people are dying at this very moment to obtain the legacy that no one has yet reached.

Although he had been hearing about this battlefield ever since he woke up in this world, Lennok had never actually visited it in person.

“Whoa….”

Lennok was sitting on the outermost border of the central front, smoking a cigar.

He looks at the green meadows spreading out down the hill, blowing out acrid smoke.

He vaguely thought of a blood-soaked wasteland, but the scenery in the border area was more ordinary than he thought.

Considering that the central city area was an environment rich in intelligence and magic, it would not be a coincidence that the nearby ecosystem was maintained in its own way.

Thinking so, Lenok took out the ringing cell phone in his arms.

Bibibig…!!

-Oh, yes. Can you hear me~?

A man’s voice that flows leisurely without any sound.

However, Lennok was not unaware of the strangely hidden caution beyond that.

-If you are listening, please answer. Is the line working properly since it was abandoned ten years ago?

“Listen.”

-…Hmm.

As soon as Lennok answered, the man swallowed his breath as if he was slightly surprised.

It was some time later that the answer came back.

-It was really you. When I heard the story from the chairman, I thought it was a lie.

“….”

-My name is Angel and I am in charge of the Telecommunications Business Department. It’s our sphere, right?

Angel, the 4th president, is a member of the CEO team under Oliveira Ron Mays and manages the telecommunications division.

A former member of the Demonic Enlightenment Corps that currently occupies the central front, and an ice barrier psychic who has reached level 7.

However, the reason Angel said that Lennok was an old face was not because he felt an inner intimacy with Lennok.

“A person with superpowers. “You’re alive.”

-That’s right. I thought I was going to die when I saw the sun you dropped.

Angel joked over his cell phone.

-If it weren’t for Merilda, it would have melted on the spot. I was lucky in many ways.

“….”

This is because Cheonbeon and Angel, who were moving to save Lapis, had a confrontation once.

Near the abandoned dam, weren’t three leaders, including Merilda, Angel, and the witch doctor, blocking Lennok’s path?

If Angel were sane, he would not have forgotten the technique he used to repel the pursuit of the CEO at the time.

“Were you the guide for this transaction?”

-yes. Among the presidents, I was the one in the center until recently.

Angel answered with a wry smile.

-I still have acquaintances left on the central front, so I can come and go with relative ease. I will show you the way to the gate.

Angel, the 4th president of the cartel, is a superpower from the Demonic Enlightenment Corps.

As he has been active in the center for a long time, it is not strange if he has acquaintances from the front line remaining around the front lines.

If you contact the front group’s forces through Angel, it will be easier to approach the gate.

It is ironic that Angel, who had fought a thousand times and almost died, has now taken on the role of helping him.

However, Lennok did not express any sentiment towards him and immediately stood up.

“understood. “If you’re ready, let’s move.”

-Oh, you just have to wait there. Smugglers heading for the gateway will arrive soon.

“Smuggler?”

-Well, there are more than one or two items needed on the battlefield.

Angel laughed.

-There are so many items that need to be secretly imported and exported, from weapons and drugs to organ trafficking and slave business.

“….”

Are you saying that smugglers who mainly deal in dirty business are coming in and out of the gateway on a regular basis?

Surely, if you hide yourself among those people and head to the gate, you won’t get caught up in any unnecessary commotion on the way.

-Because they purchased smuggled goods in the name of the Lee Neung Gaehwa Flyer and asked them to bring it through you. All you have to do is speak appropriately. Simple, right?

“Even though you belong to the cartel boss group, you borrow the name of the flyer without hesitation.”

Lennok asked, puffing out smoke.

“Do you still maintain such a close relationship with the Lee Neung Enlightenment Campaign?”

-Ahaha, didn’t we both decide not to comment on those specific circumstances?

Angel asked back while smiling calmly.

-If you ask me that question, I think we should first hear why you, who were a member of Blue Eyes, are handling Ban’s work instead.

“….”

-I know you made a deal with Ban, but to be honest, I don’t trust you. This is too risky for me to understand just because it’s a transaction.

Angel’s voice echoing through the phone was mixed with a keenness that could not be hidden.

It may be because Angel also harbored doubts as to why Cheonbyeon was moving towards the central front at this point.

However, even though Lennok knew this, he answered Angel without hesitation.

“During the battle in the Balkans, Lightning saw how I increased the power of my techniques.”

I slowly open and close one hand and tap on my phone.

A small flame bloomed between his fingers, hovered in the air and disappeared.

“I knew I needed [a spark]. So I just accepted this in exchange for that.”

-…Embers, you mean?

“If you were responsible for guiding me to the gate in this matter, there would be no need to hide it.”

Lennok said as he pulled himself up.

“Even if you don’t like it anyway, you will see it and understand it.”

-….

“If you get inside the wire, you’ll have to use a different line. Is there anything else you want to say?”

-…It is a matter of entering the central front, but our goal is at the first gateway.

Angel said in a slightly nervous voice.

-The battlefield inside the gateway. In particular, your top priority should be not to intervene in the war between the Alliance and the Church. Okay?

The first gateway is one of the very few passages leading inside the curtain of the central front.

Of course, the war taking place inside rather than outside the gate is more fierce and intense.

Angel is warning Lennok that entering the gate is not the purpose of this operation.

“Rather than the situation inside and outside the gate, the existence of the master guard guarding the gate seems to be the biggest obstacle.”

Lennok massaged his shoulder and looked away.

“Do you think it would be possible to handle that part by borrowing the name of the Lee Neung Flower Promotion Center?”

-I don’t know. There is currently only a lot of speculation even in the Central Front regarding the fate of the master of art….

Angel trailed off.

-No one knows why the alcoholic drinker who was most active in the war against the church suddenly took up residence at the gate in the first place.

“….”

-Some say he was injured while fighting an apostle, and some say he wanted a suitable place to conduct human experiments. Because I am not a person who acts based on one standard…

“Are you saying that it is difficult to determine specific motives unless you meet them in person? good.”

Lennok walked forward, looking at the old truck approaching from a distance.

“I’ll take care of that part.”

* * *

Rattling, rattling!!

I lean against the dusty bed of an old truck and close my eyes.

He leaned back with his arms crossed and tilted his head back, but the gaze glued to his face did not leave.

“If you have something to say, say it quickly.”

Lennok closed his eyes and spoke to the young man across from him who was glancing at him.

“The gaze is annoying.”

“ah? sorry.”

The young man was startled and apologized obediently.

But even so, those eyes were still staring intently at Lennok’s face.

“Well, by any chance… I’m sorry, but I wonder if you’re Evan Martinez…”

“….”

“I saw a similar face on a wanted badge before…”

“Hey, you bastard.”

At that moment, a middle-aged man sitting next to the young man hit the young man on the head.

Bah!

Next to the young man who was holding his head and lowering his head, the man chuckled.

“I told you that I was a smuggler for the Lee Neung Enlightenment Campaign. “Is it possible that a magician like Thousand Times could be in a shabby truck like this?”

“No, but the face is definitely…”

“It must be a similar person. “Fuck you, think about it!!”

The man who was spitting and shouting loudly said.

“They say he has withdrawn from the eyes of the Blue House, but they are anxious to take a wizard of his caliber wherever he goes. “If there had been even a hint that he was coming to the center, all powers would have rushed to send envoys.”

“….”

“Fuck it, I would understand if you were riding an airship like that. “What kind of bullshit can you get into in a dirty truck like this?”

The hazy sky peeking out from above the luggage compartment.

The young man was about to say something when he heard the man rumbling while looking at the huge shadow of the airship casting a hazy shadow beyond him, but kept his mouth shut.

However, Lennok read more than just denial or ridicule in the conversation between the two people and asked.

“The treatment of the magician named Cheonbeon is more generous than I expected.”

“what?”

“He may have never served on the Central Front, so how do you know him so well?”

Evan Martinez’s identity is actually a split name that originated from Evan Bylan’s identity.

Therefore, Lennok has only used this identity when working with the Blue Eye.

Since the Ganghasa Labyrinth and the Far East branch of the Guido Church moved in Evan’s name, it is understandable that rumors were spreading in that area.

Isn’t it strange that even the smugglers heading to the Central Front are familiar with Evan?

Even if they are not magicians who have left the Blue Eye, there are many more famous superhumans in the center.

However, in response to Lennok’s question, the man chuckled and snorted.

“Of course it was because of the decisive battle between the great wizards in Balkan. “Now I see that you have dark ears.”

“….”

“There’s no one who doesn’t know the rumor that the fight between those monsters turned a huge city upside down. Where did you come from?”

The man’s eyes as he looked at Lennok turned suspicious.

However, Lennok responded without being swayed by the suspicious looks from the other party.

“I am a former Magic Tower apprentice. “I couldn’t hear any news from the outside world because I was looking for funds for research.”

“Hmm….”

“I have a lot of questions about this outstanding wizard. “If there are any rumors he knows about, I’d like him to tell me.”

Now, even applying gold paint to one’s face is as natural as breathing.

When he took out two silver coins from his arms and placed them on the man’s hand, his expression instantly softened.

“Hehe, now I see that he was a very polite young man. “If this continues, I’ll have more to talk about.”

“….”

Ignoring the young man who was looking at the man with a sulky expression, the man cleared his throat.

“That’s right, the reaction of other magic towers to the fight that took place in Balkan at that time was enormous.”

“You mean another magic tower?”

“It can be said that the Balkan city government’s response was good. “The 8th level archmages were raising their eyebrows, but instead of interceding, they called in the high-ranking mages of the Magic Tower and asked for advice.”

“….”

I know that other magic tower wizards showed great interest in what Lennok did at the time.

The reason Clarice visited the Balkans in the first place was actually to act as an advisor on what was going on at the time.

The man, who glanced at Lennok, spoke again.

“But during the battle between Lightning and Cheonbun, it seems that the high-ranking wizards of the Magic Tower were very… very interested in Cheonbun.”

“interest?”

“I don’t know. “That means…”

When Lennok threw another silver coin as if he was annoyed, the man said as if he had immediately thought of it.

“It seemed like there was something to be learned about the way Cheonbun uses magic. “There have been rumors going around about him for a while.”

“….”

I was expecting it, but as expected, it is a story about alternative chanting using martial arts.

Due to the aftermath, the wizards of the Magic Tower are lining up at Lancia’s studio to learn martial arts.

It would be no exaggeration to say that rumors about him had already spread widely in the center.

While Lennok was lost in thought, the man continued his explanation.

“Anyway, since the magic towers located in the center behaved like that, other powers also began to raise their ratings a thousand times.”

“It’s not strange.”

“yes. “Rumors that are invisible in the first place can be inflated more easily.”

The man chuckled.

“I think that the guy named Cheonbeon is definitely not the monster he is rumored to be. “Everyone might be disappointed if that guy comes to the center.”

“….”

“In the first place, if I had really been confident in my abilities, I should have been scouted by another force and come to the Central Front a long time ago-”

Taaaaa!!

The man, who was grinning and rolling three silver coins in his hand, collapsed with blood spraying from his temple.

He had his head stuck in the bed of the truck, his eyes were open and shaking.

Although he appears to be still alive, he is in fact mortally wounded, close to instant death.

While Lennok looked down at the scene with calm eyes, the other passengers in the luggage compartment jumped up from their seats.

“Fuck you!! “It’s an attack!!”

“There’s a sniper. Southeast direction. “This is where the wind blows!!”

Even while screaming in horror, he accurately sensed the direction and location of the attack.

Immediately use the cargo piled up in the luggage compartment as cover to protect and hide yourself.

These people board these old trucks and head to the center. Most people have learned the tricks to stay healthy wherever they are.

Among them, a woman hiding behind the relatively safe driver’s seat shouted to the driver.

“Tread at full speed!! “You have to run away quickly before they chase you from behind!!”

“….”

“hey!! “Why do people talk…!!”

The woman stuck her head out in frustration, then shut her mouth when she saw the driver with his head down.

There was a gaping hole between her eyes, and her blood and body fluids were spilling onto the steering wheel.

“What the fuck-”

Taang!!

At the same time as the outer jaw clenched, a hole similar to that of the driver appeared between the woman’s eyebrows.

Good!!

“Wow!!”

Someone is screaming and rolling around on the luggage compartment.

The truck didn’t fall over, but it seemed to slide for more than a dozen meters with its wheels twisted.

Lennok, who was sitting against the luggage compartment with a frown, looked at the young man who had fallen across from him.

Noticing Lennok’s gaze, the young man smiled awkwardly.

“I guess this isn’t the first time something like this has happened.”

“It’s not something that happens in just one or two days.”

The young man stood up and scratched his head and said.

“I thought it would end smoothly this time, but there is no way.”

“It ends smoothly. “Isn’t that a bit wrong?”

Lennok laughed.

“No one in the world can say that a robbery ends smoothly.”

“Ahaha.”

The young man smiled after Lenok and stretched out his hand.

At that moment, the bone saw growing from the young man’s fingertips pierced the flesh and decapitated the passenger sitting next to him.

Slam!!

A corpse with flesh torn off, blood gushing from a cross section of the neck.

“Aaaah!!”

He hits the top of the head of the screaming passenger next to him.

He sneaked behind him, dragged out the person who was blocking his mouth, and cut off his legs.

He rips off the wrist of the peddler who is tapping his cell phone and stuffs it in his mouth.

Let’s go!!

The image of a young man moving like the wind among the cargo piled up in the luggage compartment, instantly slaughtering the people in the truck.

“Pooh…!!”

A young man, drenched in his own blood, stepped in front of Lennok and purred his mouth.

The young man grinned, spitting out a half-broken finger from his mouth.

“But how did you know I was a robber?”

“You knew it… You were originally in the same company as that engineer.”

Lennok answered in a drowsy voice.

“You were the only one sitting in a seat where you could see the driver’s side mirror, and coincidentally, that was near the exit out of the luggage compartment.”

“….”

“Suddenly, he mentioned the wanted notice and asked the sniper to kill the driver, wondering if I was the thousandth time. “What is the reason?”

“Well, the fewer heads you have, the more rewards you get, right?”

As the young man said this, he rubbed the bone saw sticking out of the back of his hand with the corpse’s clothes.

“These people are all smugglers who creep into the front line to get a piece of the cake. “Even if you look like a poor person, the bundle will be quite useful.”

“I guess so.”

Lennok asked, answering indifferently.

“So, you killed the man as soon as you heard that I wasn’t a thousand times?”

“This guy hit me on the head first.”

The young man said, trampling on the dead man’s head with a smile on his face.

Sigh!!

As he lightly pushed his feet, a terrible noise rang out as his skull was crushed.

The young man looked at Lennog blankly, leaving the corpse that had suddenly lost its human form at his feet.

“And, it’s not because of what this person said. That’s because it’s clear to me that you’re not a thousand times.”

“What… does that mean?”

“After the Balkan incident was over, there was a big rumor about Thousand’s personality.”

At that moment, the rear door of the truck’s cargo compartment burst open and a woman’s sonorous voice was heard.

Dozens of armored vehicles surrounded the truck and dozens of people were standing, each holding a weapon.

Like military uniforms or armor, a bizarre outfit or appearance that is inconsistent with the location and era.

Some people have half their faces missing, or some people are missing an arm or a leg.

The only thing they have in common is that their gazes toward Lennok contain a mixture of strong greed and murderous intent that cannot be hidden.

The curly-haired woman standing at the front spoke in a cheerful voice.

“According to rumors, he is a man with a personality so strong that it is impossible to believe a thousand times over. “He doesn’t really get along with a sensitive wizard like you, does he?”

“…Stiff?”

As Evan Martinez, have you ever done anything worthy of hearing such stories?

“then. Are you sure you don’t know? “He is currently considered the number one recruit among central scouts.”

Just as Lennok tilted her head at the unexpected remark, the woman stroked her curly hair and spoke.

“The central government’s reputation for turning a huge city into a sea of fire is so high. Although he lost to Lightning, some say he was ahead of him in terms of his ability to deploy wide-area techniques.”

“…that.”

“Especially because he risked his life fighting to protect a lighthouse keeper in the Balkans and was defeated, so his character and humanity are highly evaluated. Do you understand what this means?”

The woman grinned at Lennok.

“It’s highly unlikely that a man with strong loyalty and risking his life for his master would take the initiative to talk to a robber like us, let alone get angry.”

“….”

Lennok, at a loss for words, covered his face with his hands to hide his expression.

Because I finally understand why they were so sure that Lennok was not the first person.

It seemed that on the central front, the evaluation of Cheonbeon had gone in a very strange direction.
