Drug-Eating Genius Mage
Chapter 77

“Something like that happened.”

Raoul said with a helpless laugh.

“I wonder if things have gotten too big to just wipe your mouth with the ring I gave you.”

The ring… Raul would only know the ring as a kind of artifact that emits alien magical powers, but Lennok knew the inside story to some extent.

The shape of the root of a huge tree found through the transformation of properties. It must be a clue that is deeply related to the old wizard family.

It does not just stop there, but it is also likely to be a key to unlocking something hidden.

But Lennok nodded quietly instead of telling Raoul.

“It is not wrong.”

“I’m going to replace something that will help the wizard among the things my children have made. I want you to suffer a little more.”

“………”

They say their fighting ability is relatively low, but instead, they are those who have specialized in black magic in the Buyeo system.

Considering that they have been doing business and maintaining commercial rights in District 44, there is no way they will hand over something that is less than expected.

I didn’t come here to brag about what I had done, but there was absolutely no need to refrain from giving.

In the meantime, Raoul said with a troubled expression.

“It’s a necromantic spell… It’s not a spell that my faction handles, but there are a few things I’ve seen and heard.”

“Tell me.”

The essence of the necromancy ceremony is that it basically leaves the risk that the magician should bear to someone else.

Prepare the body necessary for incarnation or materials equivalent to it, and finish reciting the chant.

Complex rituals and colorful materials. Unlike summoning ceremonies that require a great deal of luck, it can be used only with the consent of the being to be summoned.

However, it is said that since a long time ago, it was common for beings who acquired such a body and incarnated to kill the caster because the caster was granted complete autonomy so that the caster could not interfere until their magic power ran out.

In order to prevent the serious danger of these necromancy rituals, the modern academia has been researching ways to restrict and prohibit the actions of beings in various ways, but in the end, these methods have similar strengths and weaknesses to summoning rituals, but can be backward compatible with them. I was having the problem of not being there.

In the end, the current practical faction is what the black magicians accepted the necromancy ceremony, which began to be pushed away from mainstream magic theory, and continued its genealogy.

Half-blood princes accepting any spell that would help them.

Suddenly, the story went beyond the necromancy ceremony and into the history of the warlock faction.

“The Practical School is different from the black magicians who have been digging down only one line.”

“In fact, it would be desirable to see it as an organization that moves according to the strong will and personality of the elder Craid Tillian. Of course, I’ve always respected Craig’s ability to gather people who were disappointed in his magic and make it that far…”

Raoul laughed helplessly as his shoulders dropped.

“So it happened.”

“……What do you think is the reason they coveted knowledge related to artificial intelligence?”

“I’m not without my guesses… but I’d like to hear what you think first.”

“………”

“It hasn’t been a few times since I’ve seen your face, but I can tell just from what I’ve seen so far.”

He said, furrowing his wrinkled eyes.

“You are the most intuitively gifted mage I’ve ever seen. The realization contained in the sentence that casually throws out the words that pierce the core… At such a young age, he specializes in speaking like a scholar who has lived for decades.”

“………”

“Kroken-sama also recognized that part, so he must have allowed you to contact us. I honestly suspect that you are hiding your age.”

‘This is a bit surprising.’

It is not even five times that he has met face to face with Raoul.

Among them, the number of times we talked about magic must be less.

Nevertheless, Raul is saying that he smelled the scent of strong talent in such Lennok’s piece.

I thought he was an old man who was helplessly swept away by the situation, but where does his age and experience go?

And to those who honestly shared their insights, they should give an honest answer.

Lennok didn’t add a rant to Raoul’s talk of talent, but rather spoke frankly about what he was thinking.

“Necromancer and artificial intelligence. It’s easy to mistake them for completely different fields, but surprisingly, there is one very strong commonality between these two fields.”

“What is it?”

Rubbing the tobacco he was smoking, Lennok replied.

“Hope for someone to do what I cannot do for myself…”

“………”

“A root that is different from the principles of magic or the understanding of engineering.”

ㅡThe roots of a huge tree.

Lennok hesitated for a moment at the thought passing through his mind, but luckily Raoul immediately understood what he was trying to say.

“Hope… that’s right. You have a talent for seeing beyond mere spells.”
