Drug-Eating Genius Mage

Episode 828

Knot (15)

“That’s an interesting item.”

Lennok, who only then understood Oris’s intentions, laughed.

“Are you saying this is something that will allow me to become a military commander after I die?”

It is a pendant that prevents the extinction of the soul, not the death of the body.

It was amazing that there was an artifact with this ability, and the idea that it was to make Lennok a military commander was even more amazing.

Lastly, I thought I was going to have a private conversation with Lennok, but I guess it was to give him this item as a gift.

However, there was no doubt that this was the greatest kindness the heroic spirit in front of him showed towards Lennok.

“Okay, if you happen to be unlucky enough to get lost somewhere later, come to Yorta after you become a military commander.”

Oris grinned and nodded.

“I see this matter as being particularly gracious to you, so at that time, I will accept you as the Heroic Spirit of Yorta.”

Lennok, who was silent, nodded.

“...okay. Take this. But that won’t happen.”

Lennok, who put the pendant in his arms, stood up on the ferry and said.

“Because there will be no second chances for me. “That is not the opportunity prepared for me.”

“....”

Lennok’s talents are not simply limited to innate intuition, judgment, and self-consciousness.

The body bound by this penalty and the magical power and magic system built up until now.

All of that is the identity and standard that makes up the existence of Lennok.

No one explained it directly, but I knew it instinctively.

“Like you said, so do I, Oris.”

Lennok smiled as he looked at the judge.

“This is the last time. “This moment is everything to us.”

“...you.”

There is no such thing as a good thing for Lennok, such as dying once, becoming a military commander, and looking for another opportunity.

It is a miracle granted only to those who have already succeeded in ascending to heaven and overcome the shackles of the flesh.

Lennok was given only one chance. That too is the ending that comes at the same time as the time of this body comes to an end.

One should not be mistaken in thinking that this is separate from the favor shown by Oris to Lennok.

Living in this world is clearly the responsibility of the living who possesses both spirit and body, and the boundary between life and death is also one of the standards of the world.

Lennok himself cannot allow himself to relax due to his exceptional experience in Yorta.

Was he surprised by Lennok’s soft, non-answering voice?

Oris stared at Lennok’s obsidian mask for a long time, then nodded with an expression of understanding.

“...yes. I said something useless. “Such words should not have any meaning to the living beings living in this world.”

“....”

“Then our story should end here.”

Oris slowly lowered his head on the ferryboat, leaving Lennok on the dock.

“Farewell, troubled living child. Excellent sorcerer. “Great seeker.”

“....”

“I hope there is something you wish for in your future. “I hope you find rest at the end of your journey.”

Oris slowly turned the boat around and smiled at Lennok.

“I will wait for you beyond death and see the moment your journey ends. “Thank you.”

I’m sure Oris knows that Lennok isn’t just a magician.

The skill Lennok showed against the spirits of Requiem. A conversation I had with Kroken alone.

At the end, the brilliance of Ouroboros displayed against the monster of Heaven.

However, he tries to end it by wishing Lennok good luck for the future without asking any more questions.

The utmost respect shown to the seeker seeking the end of an unattainable world that Oris has already been unable to reach.

Therefore, Lennok also lifted his obsidian mask slightly and nodded.

As if that was enough, the figure of Oris disappears across the Hedrain River with a satisfied smile.

A dazzling and beautiful city of ghosts that can never be seen beyond this swamp.

Even if Lennok gets there again someday, it certainly won’t be in the same form as it is now.

But still, this meeting clearly has meaning.

With that thought in mind, Lennok left the ferry boat moving away and immediately turned around.

Managers rushing out from around him and other travelers just lining up to head to Yorta tried to talk to Lennok as if they were waiting.

Before I knew it, Lennok’s new model had disappeared from the swamp.

* * *

Lennok immediately began to retrace his route through the swamps back to Balkan.

“It will take some time for the meeting to end. “Can you wait until then?”

“What do you mean?”

“I heard about the commotion they caused in Yorta. “I heard there wasn’t an uproar because the memorial tower was torn down.”

“....”

“It was so violent that the air pressure near the military town completely changed. “The communication network is very buzzing with news related to that.”

Hilea shook her head as if looking at Lennok, who was silent.

“There are more than one organization that has launched an investigation because it even affects the weather near the central front. “There are many people who are openly looking for the culprit of the situation.”

“well.”

Lennok sits with his arms crossed, leaning on a chair in the chapel, and tilts his head back in frustration.

“I don’t know what kind of crazy person would do such a reckless thing.”

“...really? “Are you going to pretend not to know at this point?”

Lennok neatly ignored Hilea’s question, which he asked back with an absurd expression.

“You turned Kabahim upside down to get your guide’s ring. Now what excuse can you make-”

“What are you talking about? “Please refrain from making inferences that may be misleading.”

“....”

Lennok, who wiped his mouth and lost his cool, spoke confidently.

“I visited the military command city, but there weren’t as many violent clashes as you might think.”

“I’m not saying it wasn’t there at all.”

Hilea sighed and held out the tablet she was holding to Lennok.

“Okay, so stop talking nonsense and check this.”

“what?”

“Image transmitted via Deadrise military line. “I was lucky enough to get it and was about to try it out in the ritual space.”

The image that appeared on the tablet was a black human image drawn by someone in an elegant drawing style.

A figure standing with a black mask draped all over his body in a dull shadow robe and holding a bomb in both hands.

Since no photos were taken, was this scene actually depicted in a painting?

“Like you said, I really have no idea who he is. it is not so?”

Hilea laughed at Lennok, who was speechless.

“Deadrise has released information about the culprit who toppled the memorial tower. “It looks like they were stationed near Yorta and gathered information.”

“....”

In response to Song Ha being captured alive and threatened, did they also respond by disclosing information?

“In a few hours, the embargo will be lifted and the name of the terrorist who brought down the tower will be revealed.”

Hilea asked with a smile.

“How does it feel to be a violent criminal who shakes up the entire continent?”

“...did you say you were preparing for a meeting earlier?”

Lennok stood up and turned off the tablet.

“Get ready. “I will go in with you.”

“what?”

“Damus. “It’s there, right?”

If Lieutenant General Damus, commander of the Deadrise 7th Corps, is planning to attend this meeting, we will be able to talk about this incident.

Lennok left Hilea in a panic and immediately forcibly accessed the simulated consciousness space she was preparing.

As I have been there once before, it is not difficult to connect and maintain consciousness.

It felt as if Lennok’s consciousness was floating and suddenly landed in the middle of the consciousness space.

Whoop!!

A dark, endless cavity filled with several chairs.

Lennok, who found Damus among the Pandemonium members who arrived first, opened his mouth.

“Damus. “There is something I want to ask.”

“...Yeah, I thought maybe there would be contact.”

However, Damus’ expression, who was sitting in the chair, had turned into one of considerable embarrassment.

“But I didn’t expect you to come like that.”

“what?”

At that moment, Lennok realized that his image did not exist in human form in the simulated consciousness space.

A huge void that fills the entire cavity and seems to be overflowing.

It was standing there with one member pressed down under its feet in a distorted, grotesque form, like a jet-black monster.

“Ugh...”

A gigantic void figure trampled upon Vernon, who was heavily drunk, with darkness distorted like a shadow.

Damus asked, looking at the sight with disgust.

“What on earth happened in Yorta?”
