Drug-Eating Genius Mage

The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 865:

The Eye that Sees Destiny (1)

The magic tower of fastness located in area 49.

Mercenaries of all kinds rushed into the vast, dark underground cave.

As soon as they heard from Lennok that the guardian spirit beast had awakened, everyone in the bar came running together.

The sight of a baby dragon sitting down with its plump belly sticking out, with eggshells scattered everywhere.

As if it had just woken up, it rubbed its eyes with its front paws and tilted its head back, causing people’s eyes to open so wide as if they were going to pop out.

“A lizard?!”

“No, you crazy person. “That’s a dragon…!!”

“Nonsense. “A dragon was born as a guardian spirit beast?”

Dylan muttered in disbelief and slowly approached the guardian spirit beast.

“This guy is the guardian spirit beast of our magic tower…”

[Gyao~]

The spirit beast sits down blankly and looks at the ceiling, then spots Dylan approaching and raises its front paw.

“You’re so fucking cute!!”

Dylan, who was silently looking at Youngsoo, lunged forward with his arms wide open towards the baby dragon.

“My whole body is falling apart, so it’s rewarding to catch and feed tuna after working so hard. When did you grow up to be this big?”

Boom!!

Dylan, who was trying to pick up Youngsoo with great emotion, lost his balance and fell due to the completely unexpected weight.

[Gweeee.]

The baby dragon, lying down while being held in Dylan’s hand, let out a dissatisfied cry.

Mila, who was watching from behind with her hands twitching, burst into laughter at the pitiful sight.

“What are you doing you idiot!!”

“Oh no…”

Dylan couldn’t hide his nervous expression and pointed at the baby dragon on his back.

“This guy. “It’s a lot heavier than I thought…?”

[Gyaak!]

A guardian spirit beast pulling on Dylan’s mask with its front paws as if it was uncomfortable.

Mila laughed at Dylan and walked forward.

“I knew it would happen from the moment I drank alcohol on an empty day. “Aren’t the muscle cells soaked in alcohol and completely destroyed?”

“Hearing from you really pisses me off. “Can I hit you?”

“go away. I will take care of him. Look Carefully. “How easy it is to hold

the baby dragon like this…” Mila, who was holding the baby dragon, quietly closed her mouth.

“…Okay.”

The moment Mila noticed the magical power flowing out of her body, she suddenly picked up the baby dragon as if she had been waiting for it.

[Gyao~]

The guardian spirit beast purrs and cries as if it feels better.

Mila proudly held the guardian spirit beast and turned around with a calm complexion.

“look. It’s so light, what are you talking about? “You look like crap.”

“….”

[What kind of nonsense are you talking about after strengthening your magic power?…]

Ignoring Manson’s words of rebuke with a pathetic look, Mila walked among the other mercenaries, holding her guardian spirit beast and shaking it soothingly.

Other freelancers, including Wei An and Dray Sui, followed Mila and accepted the baby dragon one by one, as if they were possessed.

“Oh oh… This is the mystery of life….”

“These hard glass-colored scales are so beautiful, too. “The heaviness you feel in your hand is especially impressive.”

“But like Dylan said, it’s really quite heavy.”

Dray looked down at the Guardian Spirit Beast, who was rubbing his paw against his cheek with a wry smile.

“I feel like it’s almost 120kg? “Considering that it is slightly smaller than a human, it is quite heavy.”

Mila is a mercenary who enjoys drinking but never neglects requests.

Even though she didn’t use magical power, it was definitely quite a weight if it was difficult to lift even with her trained strength.

“It’s a polyp.”

Jenny, who was watching closely from a distance from behind, said.

“The bone density and muscle weight will be much heavier and thicker than that of humans. “It might actually get heavier as you get older.”

“No, rather than that problem… I think the problem is the belly fat.”

Felix said, looking at the plump belly of the baby dragon that Wei An was holding with a nervous expression.

“No matter how you look at it, it’s fat.”

“If you say so, it seems that our Yonggari’s horizontal and vertical body lengths are similar…”

Only then did the mercenaries, who were impressed by the awakening of the guardian spirit beast they encountered for the first time, return to reality one by one.

Naturally, people, including Dylan, began to pay attention to Lennok.

“Could it be that the problem occurred because we fed them too much…?”

Despite the good news that a guardian spirit beast was born in the magic tower, it is something that cannot be ignored if the born spirit beast is not in good health.

If it happened because of them, who took it upon themselves to raise the guardian spirit beast on behalf of Lennok, then they had no choice but to take responsibility.

“no. It’s really cute when you see it! “I’m not that fat-”

There were many people who tried to deny it and lost their balance and tipped over while trying to pick up Youngsu.

It is a weight that would be difficult for people like Felix or Manson, who do not have naturally strong bodies, to lift without strengthening their magical power.

[Was the golden ratio around 1:1.618? Let’s adjust the proportions to make it look good.]

“Can’t we just make him go on a diet from now on?”

“it’s crazy? “What kind of exercise are you going to make your newborn Youngsoo do?”

“Then are you going to leave it like that? It doesn’t matter if you idiots have this much alcohol, but this guy is the guardian spirit of the class. “You should pay attention!”

“what? “I don’t have a drinking boat, you bastard!”

While Mila and Wei An were fighting and screaming loudly, Felix and Suryeon were worried.

“Dylan’s not wrong. I can’t get my young guardian spirit beast to exercise anymore. However, if there is a health problem, we cannot wait and see…”

“I don’t know where the guardian spirit beast should get a health checkup. Should I go see a spirit-line veterinarian?”

Heated debates are taking place everywhere about the guardian spirit beast’s obesity level and health.

Meanwhile, someone approached Lennok and spoke quietly.

“Fast. “Congratulations on the awakening of the guardian spirit beast.”

An expressionless woman with short hair. Stella is the vice-leader of the Antares mercenary group.

I recognized him when he was in the bar with me, but as the commotion got louder, did he follow me here?

Stella looked back at the baby dragon yawning with its mouth wide open in the distance and smiled strangely.

“I was worried because it stayed in the egg for quite some time, but seeing that it woke up like this, I guess it’s not a big problem.”

“….”

“Now, it can be called a truly large magic tower. I hope we will maintain a good relationship with the mercenary group in the future. “I’m busy with work, so I’ll go first.”

Stella forcefully squeezes Lennok’s hand, shakes his hand, and then suddenly leaves.

Jenny, who was looking at him suspiciously, came next to him and whispered quietly.

“What are you going to do?”

“What do you mean?”

“The guardian spirit beast of the Magic Tower. Anyone can see that he has gained a lot of weight. “It looks like it’s going to roll around like a ball at any moment.”

“….”

Although she didn’t show it, it seems that Jenny was also shocked by the sight of the baby dragon.

“It’s cute to gain weight like that, but shouldn’t you think about its role as a guardian spirit beast?”

Jenny tilted her head with a distrustful look.

“I don’t believe at all that that guy is the spirit beast that will protect the magic tower.”

“yes. “You’re not wrong.”

After hearing Jenny’s clear question, Lennok agreed.

It was also true that the guardian spirit beast that hatched from the egg seemed to have no power and that it did not appear to be in a healthy state either.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the cave, a baby dragon carrying four or five people on its back was letting out loud cheers.

[Gyao~]

“Wow, look at this guy’s power!!”

“How many times do you have to lift it up right away?”

“In terms of strength alone, isn’t he already stronger than us?”

Jenny’s mouth widened as she saw Youngsoo standing up, holding several people, including Dylan and Mila, with his thick paws.

“It’s so powerful that it’s suspicious. But that has nothing to do with combat power.”

“How is Tatiana?”

Jenny turned her gaze back at Lennok’s lukewarm response.

“Did the guardian spirit beasts of other magic towers look like that at first?”

“Is that possible?”

Tatyana smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Although she was brought here just after clashing with Felix, she is a War Mage who has been working on the central front for a long time.

Tatiana, who had quickly forgotten her personal feelings and was carefully observing Youngsu’s movements, opened her mouth.

“Most of the spirit beasts I saw had lived for a long time and had considerable intelligence and spiritual status. A young dragon like that… hmm, I don’t remember.”

“Is that so too?”

“But I don’t think it looks that bad.”

“what?”

Tatiana shrugged her shoulders at Jenny, who was frowning.

“It’s a polyp. Polyp. “I don’t know what kind of spirit beast that is?”

“….”

“It is said that the ancient dragon constantly shed its skin and underwent repeated metamorphosis, becoming closer to heaven just by staying alive and breathing.”

Tatiana said, looking at the baby dragon closely.

“We live in an era where it is difficult to find polyps anywhere in the world. “It must be very meaningful that the class chose a dragon as its guardian spirit beast.”

“…I see.”

Jenny clapped her hands as if she had come to a great realization.

“A guided dragon tour with the only baby dragon in the world!! “Are you really going to just spend the money?”

“….”

“…You know it’s half a joke, right?”

“No, that’s not a bad idea.”

Half way? Lennok chuckled at Tatiana who muttered.

“Guardian spirit beasts are not something that needs to be hidden and hidden. Since it is a being that resides and guards the tower’s territory, it might be better to show it openly.”

“Hmm, that’s exactly what I was trying to say-”

“Rather than worry, you’ll grow up quickly. “The reason he was born with that fat body is probably…”

Lennok guessed that it was not a problem of the guardian spirit beast itself, but rather the fact that the level of the soul increased by absorbing the consciousness body of the handbook.

I tried to cut the curse of metamorphosis that was tied to the handbook from Yorta and completely erase its aftermath with the art of resurrection.

As a result, something unexpected happened and the guardian spirit beast absorbed the essence left behind by the handbook’s consciousness body.

Taking that into account, the Guardian Spirit Beast will not need to go on a diet now, but will need time to digest the power it has received.

“We’ll just watch over time and see when they enter the growth phase.”

“Is this a problem that will be solved naturally as the body grows?”

“I think so.”

When Lennok said that and held out his hand, the baby dragon in Suryeon’s arms opened its eyes and jumped out of the arms.

[Aww]

The baby dragon toddled out with a strange cry and clung to Lennok’s leg.

Lennok, who had cast a lightening spell on the guardian spirit beast, gently picked up the dragon.

Lennok, clutching the spirit beast’s sides with both hands, lifted the dragon’s paw towards Jenny.

“Okay, hello.”

[Gyaak.]

“Huh….”

Jenny, who was watching the scene, took a deep breath and quickly cleared her throat.

“Now that I think about it, it’s not that bad… I’ll admit it.”

“He’s a good guy.”

When Tatiana comes next to Lennok and strokes the dragon’s head, it snorts and flails.

Tatiana said, smiling slightly and gently rubbing Youngsoo’s head.

“The spirit beasts born in the area are often in the form of phantom beasts. This is because it is born and takes shape in the area that contains the practitioner’s ideals.”

“….”

“Still, there must be a good reason why your guardian spirit beast was born as a dragon species.”

Tatiana asked.

“Or is your ideal future one in which you yourself become a dragon?”

“…No way.”

Lennok smiled and shook his head.

“There are reasons to speculate, but it is not definitive. “I’ll let you know later when it becomes clear.”

It is a guardian spirit beast that was born in the realm of Ouroboros and opened its eyes after consuming the consciousness body of the handbook.

It is a clear fact that the race or lineage has been influenced by the reptiles challenging the ascension.

However, in order to accurately understand its origin, Lennok must be aware of the ascension in more detail.

Right now, the first thing to do is to find out what Lapis is trying to achieve in this city through her work.

After thinking that far, Lennok put down the baby dragon and said.

“Collect and classify only data that can be quantified through primary measurements, including the guardian spirit beast’s physical abilities. “It won’t be difficult to form a comparison army with the help of mercenaries.”

“what? “Didn’t you call us to be together?”

When you return to the bar and start talking about the guardian spirit beast, it is natural to test the spirit beast’s abilities and tendencies.

The guardian spirit beast of the Magic Tower. It is also a spirit beast that has been sleeping in an eggshell for quite a long time.

Even if you can’t have them exercise right away, you should check to see if there are any problems with basic metabolic functions, including breathing.

It’s almost surprising that Lennok didn’t directly participate in the test.

However, Lennok stroked the head of the dozing spirit and looked away.

“I thought so at first, but it seems like he’s following you guys better than I thought, so I guess I can leave it to him.”

“What if that guy goes on a rampage while you’re away? “We still don’t know anything about guardian spirit beasts.”

“I don’t think that will happen, but…”

The mercenaries gathered here are people who have been raising their guardian spirits by feeding them regularly since they were hiding in eggs.

Guardian spirit beasts wouldn’t just cause trouble if there were mercenaries by their side.

However, Jenny’s concerns are not without reason.

Lennok nodded and immediately changed the topic.

“If the test is burdensome, please ask for the idea I mentioned earlier. It is not an idea that can be easily overlooked. “It might be more helpful than you think.”

“idea?”

“Although he is a spirit beast born in the territory of the Magic Tower, it is true that he has a lot of potential to attract attention.”

Lennok smiled quietly and pointed to the dozing baby dragon.

“Now that things are like this, how about making the Guardian Spirit Beast help with the Magic Tower’s business?”

“Making it help business… is that possible?”

Jenny shook her head with a somewhat tilted look.

“You seem to have intelligence and judgment, but that doesn’t mean you can make a baby dragon do paperwork.”

“I didn’t mean it that way. In other words, it is about changing the external reputation of the Magic Tower to a friendly one.”

“If it’s reputation-”

“For example, by embedding the guardian spirit beast’s face on an item payment terminal or card.”

“…!!”

As soon as she heard those words, Jenny looked like she realized something.

“That… seems quite possible. Are you trying to imprint it on terminals or equipment that can only be used on the tower and use it as a symbol?”

“At a time when the item market brokered by the Magic Tower operates exclusively, it would be good to create an image that symbolizes that authority.”

Lennok nodded.

“I think it would be a good point to emphasize independent payment methods.”

“I know what you mean. If you use a real polyp as the point rather than another symbol… I think it will work. No, it definitely works. Much better than a guided tour…!!”

Looking at Jenny’s expression as if she had realized something, Lennok tapped her shoulder and turned around.

“I’ll go first.”

Lennok walked out while being greeted by other mercenaries and immediately stretched out his hand toward the end of his sleeve.

A note that Stella slipped between Lennok’s gloves while shaking his hand half-forcibly.

Because I needed to check as much as I could guess who sent it.

I walk slowly along the ramp of the underground cavity, where there are no stairs, and check the text written on the note.

It was not written by Stella herself, but was a familiar handwriting left by someone known to Lennok.

“….”

That moment when Lennok was lost in thought as he read the words written on the note.

Evelyn’s name appeared on the phone screen.

As soon as Lennok, who had been hesitant, cut off the surrounding sounds and answered the phone, Evelyn quickly whispered.

-half. Lapis replied. It looks like preliminary discussions with the Central Council have been completed.

“It’s earlier than expected. “Is it moving right away?”

-We will arrive at the outskirts of the city via an undeveloped area. I’ll send you the coordinates. Could you come over there?

Lennok, who immediately checked the coordinates, nodded.

“Is it outside of district six? It’s not that far. What is the estimated time of arrival?”

Considering that it was a few days earlier than the schedule Evelyn had mentioned, was the schedule finalized taking into account the travel time to and from the Balkans?

In that case, Lennok would also have to roughly finish the work he had to do as Evan and Van during the remaining time.

Most of the urgent work has been completed and now most of the issues are related to personal research, but-

[No, right now.]

Evelyn answered firmly.

[I will use the lighthouse keeper’s supernormal ability to forcibly summon him. He is scheduled to arrive in 3 hours.]
