Drug-Eating Genius Mage

The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard

Episode 881: Eyes that See Destiny (17)

“I’m just kidding.”

A word that sends shivers down your spine. Jenny waved her hand as she saw Lapis widening the distance with a sharp expression.

“Well, actually, I don’t like this situation right now. “Personally, I respect Cheong’s eyes’ actions.”

Jenny laughed at Lapis, who couldn’t believe it.

“Perhaps because of the work I do, I really prefer realistic compromises. In that respect, I sympathize with the mission of a lighthouse keeper.”

“….”

“I’d like to say that I’m sorry that things turned out like this, but…”

At that moment, Jenny’s eyes, which seemed somewhat unmotivated, shone sharply.

“But I’m on the other side. “I can’t do your favor.”

“….”

Is it the nature of Cheong’s eyes to understand and sympathize with the reasons for building lighthouses all over the world, but not to be moved by his personal feelings?

He is in charge of managing the tower, and if that crazy wizard is willing to entrust the work to him, there is a high possibility that he is a very talented person.

Appearing in front of Lapis as soon as Lightning left, like now, was clearly planned in advance.

Is he trying to buy favor or give a warning?

What makes the woman who introduced herself as Jenny even more unbelievable is that her words and attitude were not biased in any direction.

This is probably because they are very experienced and skilled in this type of persuasion and distance control.

The moment Lapis thought that and took a step back, Jenny pointed to her eyes.

“I heard your eyes aren’t that good? Don’t you need something like an artifact or an eye patch to aid your vision?”

“no. “There is no problem.”

Although my eyesight is slightly reduced and my ability to use supernormal abilities is limited, I have no problem looking around.

In the first place, Lapis’ own hierarchy was already complete to be tied down to the act of seeing something.

“Well, if that’s the case…”

Jenny nodded lightly and then put down the luggage she was carrying next to Lapis.

“As I said before, you can move around freely inside the tower. Since Ban has given permission, there is no way to stop it. However, I hope you will refrain from trying to contact or contact outsiders.”

Jenny put down a small blanket, a water bottle, and some snacks in her arms next to the chair and turned around.

“I haven’t killed many people before, so I don’t think it would be difficult to let Ban go without pain.”

“….”

What the woman who identified herself as Jenny said was not a threat to scare Lapis.

A tone of voice that seems to be praising oneself, saying that you really don’t want to do it, but if it’s necessary, there’s nothing you can do about it.

Therefore, Lapis was confident that what Jenny said was not a lie.

“The stairs leading out of the community are over there. “We built it semi-secretly, but they demolished everything we saw, so there’s nothing left for long.”

Jenny walked up the stairs and said as if something suddenly occurred to her.

“Oh, and the food has to be given every 30 minutes, so let me know when it runs out.”

“…What did you say?”

Jenny’s explanation was as if she were entrusting the tower with chores rather than dealing with kidnapped hostages.

Speaking of food, who does Lapis have to take care of in this underground cave?

The moment Lapis, unable to hide her bewildered expression, hesitated and picked up the water and food placed next to the chair.

A bluish eye light flashed beyond the darkness of the cavity behind Lapis’ back.

[Gyao~]

* * *

[Gyaar…!!]

Jenny wiped her face as she heard Lapis’ scream coming from the other side of the underground cavity.

If you attach it to the tower’s guardian spirit tree, you may be able to catch the lighthouse keeper’s attention for a while.

There were still a lot of people left to deal with before Lapis’s eyes scanned every corner of the Magic Tower.

“…I feel like I’m going crazy.”

The face that had maintained its composure in front of Lapis was suddenly drooping from fatigue, as if it was about to melt.

At the time when Ban kidnapped Lapis and detained her in the Magic Tower, well over 500 official letters arrived at the Magic Tower.

If we count only the public offices directly under the city government, the area’s district office police, and the military, it’s that much, so how much would it be if we added the contacts in the shadows?

From the moment Van appeared in District 21 and turned the city upside down, a phone has never left the hands of anyone working in the tower.

“Request for cooperation from district offices from districts 18 to 26. Certificate of arrest warrant, search and seizure details. “What else was there?”

Jenny tapped her phone non-stop as she walked through the circular hallway of the sky-high magic tower.

All incoming calls are rejected, and a response manual to be delivered to TOP members is revised and distributed in real time.

“We must pretend not to know about this incident in our dealings with the Central Council. They should also understand it properly…”

Right now, there isn’t much that Jenny and other Magic Tower officials can do in this matter.

No, considering the relationship between the Magic Tower and the city council right now, we shouldn’t do anything.

Regardless of how the group moves to handle this incident, the item business managed by the Magic Tower has already grown to an irreversible extent.

This was possible because Jenny and Van were so successful in attracting cooperative projects within the tower and actively attracting businesses from inside and outside the city.

Now, it will be difficult for even the city council to take back the privileges it granted to the Magic Tower.

There is no way the Central Council is unaware of the fact that even if the authority is taken back in an unreasonable manner, the demand once established will not disappear and will only burrow into the shadows.

Jenny took out her wireless earphones, put them in her ears, and spoke quickly.

“It’s me, Belver. “Have you checked where the class is going?”

-I only saw it heading toward the 30th division area. This is where a large number of entertainment facilities that have recently been confirmed for redevelopment are located.

“Then…”

-He knew that the guys targeting the lighthouse keeper would come looking for him. It looks like they are trying to really beat it up.

Belver’s voice as he said that was mixed with faint fear and excitement at the same time.

-Phew… If the pace of redevelopment in the 30th district speeds up with this, the real estate I invested in in advance will also enter the bull market –

“You crazy bastard. “Are you thinking about that right now?!”

-Hehe… I realized it, Jenny. In the end, even in this city, the investment method with a high floor is not shapeless stocks, but real estate that never disappears –

“Die!!”

Jenny, who poured out verbal abuse, cut off communication and quickly reconnected to the other mercenaries.

“I met Felix Lapis. Talk to Stella and raise the alert level of the 40th division a little more in exchange for incentives…” “

Training. Negotiations with Samyoung Family are over, right? Please contact me as soon as the fortress owners decide on the scale of reinforcements. If necessary, there is also a plan to evacuate the personnel in the tower to the fortress-”

“It’s me, Mila. I wish I could get in touch with Dylan… Lapis’s bodyguard magician fought alone and lost?!!”

Jenny screamed, but quickly lowered her voice for fear that Lapis would hear.

-okay. I was tracking down the traces of the wizard you mentioned, and found him passed out like a dog on the outskirts of area 26. That’s not a very lame thing to say.

“…Dylan is one of the most powerful regenerators in Vulcan. “You dealt with that guy, knocked him unconscious, and then ran away?”

-I don’t know how we fought.

Mila responded through the earphones with a bustling sound.

-But the smell of this guy’s alcohol is really disgusting. Could it be that they fought over a drink? Suddenly, I’m craving it too.

Jenny’s expression instantly turned strange as she listened to the explanation over the earphones.

“You got into a fight after drinking? No, even if it’s Dylan… it’s so trashy that I can’t believe it. “First, I need to hear the whole story.”

-Yes, I called a driverless taxi, so it will arrive at area 40 in no time. I’ll be there quickly.

“….”

After disconnecting from Mila, Jenny hesitated, unable to immediately communicate with the next target.

Although he usually behaves like an unreasonable bully and an alcoholic, in terms of work, Dylan is a very godly mercenary.

Even if it is not necessarily a job brokered by Jenny, she is quite sincere when it comes to nomination requests, so her rating and trustworthiness are very high even within the deep web.

Moreover, even when Dylan was drunk, he often spoke as if he had received great help from Van.

What are the chances that Dylan drank alcohol and tried to ruin a job that Ban himself took part in?

“…Let’s check when we come. “When you come.”

“Mr. Secretary!”

At that moment, someone urgently called Jenny from the other side of the tower hallway.

Wizards who have recently begun to be hired one by one at the Magic Tower through secret oaths made by Ban himself.

Among them, Jenny hurriedly walked when she was called by the wizard who had been recruited to the external affairs and communication department.

“Did you get a call from Miguel?”

“Yes, that way.”

The man called Miguel answered with a stern look on his face.

“What is the contact method?”

“I don’t need anything. They will connect it directly, so please only release the barrier enough to allow a single blade of grass to grow…”

Jenny nodded.

“… Solve it.”

“Are you going to be okay?”

“This is a place created to monitor reactions in advance to situations like this.”

Jenny said as she followed Miguel toward the spacious altar at the end of the hallway.

“If you notice it first, you should respond directly. “Start.”

“…All right.”

Rumbling!!

When the attendants standing next to Miguel turned the lever attached to the side of the altar, the barrier line split and an empty space appeared.

Lennok listened to Jenny’s request and previously created a kind of gray area where the magic tower’s barrier had no effect.

The moment when the magic tower’s barrier range was centered around the empty space above the altar and I was momentarily exposed to external contact.

Sara rock!!

Countless bushes began to grow rapidly over the altar.

A strange sight that seems to compress and recreate the process of sowing seeds under fertile soil, germinating them, supplying water and nutrients, and growing them hundreds of times.

At the same time, it seems as if an unknown, tingling force is filling up all around the altar.

Jenny, who was not very spiritual, just frowned, but Miguel, a wizard, seemed different and muttered with an expression of horror.

“It’s a huge force. This is definitely a great forest…!!”

Suddenly!!

The bushes and trees growing above the altar suddenly become so thick that they seem to cover the entire vacant lot.

The tower’s altar is filled with growth power maximized through the harmony of nature and power.

Between the tree stumps growing above the clearing, something splintered and sprang up.

“….”

The moment Jenny noticed that the split tree stump had changed into the shape of a living mouth.

A mouth made of tree stumps licked and let out a low female voice.

[You should know one thing.]

“….”

[The reason we are waiting for an answer like this right now is not because our patience is as deep as the sea of understanding.]

Contrary to the calm tone, the passionate tone seems to be boiling because it cannot hide its passion. .

Jenny smiled coldly, even though she knew that she was barely suppressing the intense killing intent that seemed to explode at any moment.

“In the eyes of the Blue House, it appears that they enjoy using one-sided communication methods with other organizations.”

[….]

“I deliberately created a space for you to communicate, but you don’t even have a simple communicative name?”

[Grisha. A mere insignificant shaman. But what does it matter?]

Grisha spoke through the tree stump’s mouth.

[This situation itself is truly unreasonable for us.]

“….”

[Listen carefully, Manager of the Magic Tower. From now on, I will ask you three questions. If you can’t answer even one question correctly-]

Grumble.

The tree stump twisted and made a strange breaking sound.

The moment Jenny sensed that Grisha’s thoughts were boiling over and on the verge of going out of control, she spoke as if proclaiming.

[The Blue Eyes main force is planning to withdraw from the central front and retreat towards the Balkans.]
