Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 522
Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 522
Research Adjustment Improvement (2)
A new way to use the Ouroboros magic system.
It wasn’t just that Lennock was brooding over this theme, trial and error.
A problem that was recognized when trying to operate Ouroboros and the magnetic realm at the same time in the final battle with Amrita Fraubel, the 10 apostles of the Church.
“Amrita tried to block the power of Ouroboros, not the domain of magnetism, even by harming herself.”
Lennox’s gaze fell coldly.
“It wasn’t just because Ouroboros’ power felt more dangerous.”
Unlike the realm of a kaleidoscope that observes and projects divergent points, Ouroboros is more like a force that converges and grasps the surrounding possibilities.
The realm of the kaleidoscope that begins inside Lennok and radiates outward is unrecognizable and unstoppable.
The Ouroboros magic system, which dismantles and analyzes the opponent’s strength and image, gives a sense of déjà vu close to death just by operating it.
Naturally, the target would also try to block the operation of Ouroboros at any cost.
There is no need to use this technique in the first place against opponents who do not recognize the power of Ouroboros.
Enemies strong enough to use Ouroboros will surely notice the danger of this technique and try to sabotage it.
A fatal blind spot that virtually seals its use in battles against powerful opponents.
When Ouroboros was used against Gyebaek, it was possible because the fallen Ascendant himself was not interested in those around him.
When dealing with monsters like Amrita with high intellect, using it is more likely to harm Lennok.
In the battle against Madrich Onion, where Ouroboros was used for the first time, the battlefield itself was in the domain of Madrich himself, so he only succeeded by aiming for the gap.
If the gap between the power of the magic system and its effectiveness in combat is not resolved, it will inevitably become a nuisance.
Recognizing that fact, Lennok tried to get into proper magic research by purchasing research equipment in its entirety in order to touch the workings of the Ouroboros magic system itself.
A completely new magic system that unfolds at a level that transcends the hierarchy.
In order to handle the output, it would have to be at least the level of research equipment used in super-large magic engineering facilities.
“It will be difficult to finish everything before the fair starts, but I want to set a direction.”
[Magic synchronization preparation is complete.]
At the same time that Lennok stretches out his hands and raises his magic power, Darby reads Lennok’s will and agrees.
Under the operation of the brain spirit, dozens of equipment in the laboratory rotate simultaneously and begin to move around Lenok.
Woooooo!!!
Ignoring warnings and system outputs, the magic engineering facilities moved busily in all directions, adjusting Lenok’s condition.
By forcibly stabilizing the flow of magical energy, suppressing the backlash erupting from the Ouroboros magic system, he forcibly created a path and opened it.
coo goo!!!
The impact caused the whole laboratory in the basement of the mansion to vibrate and shake as if an earthquake had occurred, but he didn’t care.
For high-ranking magicians, a laboratory is not simply a place to study and practice magic or spells.
To contemplate one’s magic technique itself by synchronizing the environment of the entire space to the same conditions as the magician’s own body.
The work to find the optimal state by taking out the images and magic that flowed and assembled only inside Lennok’s body to the outside, adjusting and stabilizing them in real time.
The space of this gigantic laboratory itself was treated as the same concept as the magician himself, Lenoc, and returned.
The fact that Oliviera’s laboratory turned into a realm containing her own utopia is also proof that she contemplated herself in that space for a long time.
What Lennok is trying to do now is also not very different.
In order to stabilize the magical flow of the dazzling Ouroboros, all kinds of research equipment move quickly and emit various magical powers.
Lennok, who stood at the center of it, took out an old magic book from his arms without hesitation.
A relic from the 1st world that was obtained at the midterm settlement of Pandaemonium.
Lennok, who had been unstoppable in reading arcane magic books containing five types of extreme magic, opened the page with the [Harmony] type of extreme magic and raised his eyes.
Lennok’s eyes shone sharply as he gazed at the radiant snake’s ring.
“It will build a new order in the magic system. Let’s begin.”
* * *
Murphy’s Hospital.
Almost a month after extracting medical records through Arsnova’s biometric data, Lennok returned to the clinic.
“It took longer than expected to adjust the detailed specifications.”
Murphy, who had been tinkering around with his back turned, turned around and handed Lennok the equipment he was holding.
“I made it with a design similar to the one I used originally. The shape of the staff is definitely convenient to carry, and it suits wizards well.”
The shape of the staff resembling a rising stream of water.
If there is a difference from the life support system that was changed through the pentarect, is the jewel embedded in the tip of the staff a dark black color?
As soon as Lennok accepted the staff, a faint line appeared on the black jewel and wriggled.
“It is a lifeline.”
Murphy said.
“It is a function that comprehensively judges and displays the heart rate and horsepower stability as well as the flow of nutrients in the body.”
Murphy added, turning his head and fiddling with the computer on the side of the office.
“It’s impossible to restore your broken body itself, but maintaining the status quo won’t be difficult.”
“Right.”
“It is under the assumption that you are absolutely stable. Of course, you should avoid fighting unconditionally.”
“… … .”
I don’t think I need to tell you how many battles Lennok had fought before coming back to this clinic.
Murphy stared at Lennok through his glasses.
“If the balance is broken even once, there will be no turning back. Do you know?”
“To some extent.”
“It’s even more so for a high-ranking mage like you. The taller and more sophisticated the tower is, the more uncontrollable it becomes when it begins to shake. I have a rough idea of what kind of life I’ve been living, but from now on I’m going to have to change everything.”
That’s not wrong.
After all, isn’t it because the fact that Lennok has survived and is sitting here has not collapsed even though it may be shaken.
One fatal defeat. An irreparable mistake. While acknowledging the fear that it may come someday, we must eventually move forward.
“Well, it was a wise choice to come to me, even if it was late.”
Murphy, who was looking at Lennok with an expressionless face, smiled.
“So that if you need an adjustment, you will come to me right away. As it is a very delicate item, it will become something worse than nothing if you don’t take care of it often.”
“Remember.”
After that, Lennok paid Murphy the production fee he had promised and left the hospital.
Lennok, who was tapping the back of his hand while holding his staff, tilted his head.
“It seems like I should check the sensitivity without taking any medicine, but… … .”
It is not easy to feel it because I have improved my condition by taking the tears of the archangel, and I usually put all kinds of drugs in my body.
Perhaps Lennok’s bodily senses themselves were already half-broken, so it was difficult to feel them with dizzying measures.
Lennok fiddled with his cane for a while, then picked it up and moved on.
In the end, the important thing is to let Kyeon-roe know that he is injured through the life support system.
Performance was not as important as it was a measure to create an alibi for him as the time spent working as a class was reduced.
Lennok immediately walked forward with a cane and headed for District 49, where Jenny’s pub was located.
Even in the chilly atmosphere of District 49, the high-rise building area is particularly crowded.
After going through several reconstructions and expansions, dozens of people continue to come and go without stopping at the entrance of the bar, which has now changed beyond recognition.
Inside the bar, the lobby hall was widened to the fullest, full of freelancers and gangsters chatting among themselves with their backs to the dark lights.
Arriving at the table to escape the smoke rising from all over the place, Lennok waved at the old man approaching.
“half.”
Without saying a word, he sets the glass down in front of Lennok and skillfully mixes the cocktail.
Lennok, who casually tilted his glass, frowned slightly at the bitter taste spreading in his mouth.
“… … It doesn’t taste easy. What the hell is this?”
“Yakju made by mixing mugwort, garlic, and ginger. It’s a drink whose recipe is said to have been made outside the continent. They say it’s good for your body, so drink it all the way.”
“You mean mugwort and garlic?”
Does anyone have a job to make a new person?
Anyway, it is said to be good for the body, so drink it without saying anything.
Zordon smiled as he watched Lennok gulping his yak with his brow slightly furrowed.
“I hear bad rumors often. Jenny bought the recipe and ingredients separately from Deep Web and made it.”
“… … .”
The situation that he was injured in the battle with Madrid Onion had been told to Jenny before rumors spread.
But even so, as she had never visited a bar in person after that, Jenny would have no choice but to pay some attention.
“If the response is good, I plan to market it as a new menu, but what about it? You rarely evaluate the taste of alcohol, so it’s hard to know what you like or dislike.”
“It tastes fresh. If you sell it under the theme of increasing your energy, there will be people looking for it.”
As Lennok gulped down the rest of his drink, frowning, Jenny quickly stepped out from behind the bar, pressing her temples.
She looked around the bar with a face with deep dark circles, and when she saw Lennok, her face straightened.
“half… … !! Are you okay?”
“Enough to get around.”
Immediately, Jenny, who was seated across from Lennok, took something from inside the bar table and held it up.
thud!!
“I searched the auction house and the deep web for all the elixirs I ordered and got them all.”
“thanks.”
“I asked a famous doctor in the central district of the city to brew the medicine, so if you need it, bring it.”
I guess I should tell Jenny later why these rumors were circulating.
For now, I have no choice but to deal with the matter that came to her.
Above all, it was Jenny’s request, not Lennok’s, that made the appointment today.
“Shall we go upstairs? A guest is waiting.”
When I went up to the office on the top floor of the company located next to the bar, I immediately saw a giant sitting on a corner of the sofa.
A bird-headed giant sits with his arms crossed and his back straight and his eyes closed.
As soon as Lennok entered the office, the giant with his eyes wide open jumped up from his seat.
“half!!”
“It’s been a while, Felix.”
Lennok also smiled involuntarily at the delighted expression.
Felix Magat. As the head of the Antares Mercenary Office and a rank-and-file warrior, he is a familiar face even to Lennok.
“Are you feeling okay?”
It’s been quite a while since we last met, but I remember the incident quite vividly.
National Guard treason incident. A warrior who fought alone with Lennok against the croken that appeared after destroying the air fortress.
In the process, wasn’t he admitted to the hospital in a coma while using a battle hammer containing the magical power of the Ascendant?
It was difficult for Lenok to hear any more news as he headed for the Hanghasa Labyrinth after receiving the summons from the Blue Eye, but in the meantime, he seemed to have calmed down to some extent.
“That’s half of what I’m going to say.”
Felix laughed incredulously.
“I heard that you were in a critical condition after fighting a level 8 lord sorcerer. Are you in a position to worry about others now?”
The eagle’s strong eyes turned to the staff Lennok was holding.
“I thought there were ominous rumors going around, but it seems that Jenny’s worries weren’t wrong. There are not a few people in our office who care about your health.”
“At your office?”
“The sponsorship contract between the Antares Mercenary Office and your distribution company has just been officially finalized.”
Then, behind Felix’s back, a woman with bobbed hair appeared coldly.
The image of her blowing smoke from an e-cigarette was still etched in Lennok’s memory.
“From now on, let’s live while paying more attention to our health. Because workaholics are enough with our director.”
“… … stellar.”
Stella Grien. He is the deputy director of the Antares mercenary office that Felix met when he was hospitalized.
If Felix and Stella are here, it means that the two decision makers in the office are directly at Jenny’s company.
Jenny made a deal with the Antares Mercenary Office and succeeded in concluding a sponsorship contract that enlisted their full assistance throughout the business.
Today, this is a place where even Lennok, who had been neglecting the company’s work, was able to win a contract that was so large that it required direct observation.
Nominally, as Lennok was also the president and co-manager of the company, there was a process to go through.
“Even while the distribution business was growing like this, I continued to work as a broker.”
Stella said while putting the temporary seal Jenny had made on the documents.
“While showing results in both freelance manpower and distribution network establishment, the mercenaries in our office are also very interested in handling Jenny’s requests first.”
Is that why you agreed to the sponsorship contract, where you give priority to Jenny’s requests?
A transaction between two nominally equal organizations, but in terms of the mercenaries of the Antares office, the full cooperation was approved.
There was no way that Lennok didn’t know what it meant to be the first to borrow the power of the mercenaries, one of the best in this world.
“Do you know Antares?”
“Ah, our warden… … .”
“Well, even if you don’t hide it, I think you already noticed?”
The two people who had a meaningful conversation with each other laughed.
As Lennok shook his head at them, Jenny pounded on the table and spoke to the two of them.
“Come on, now that the agreement is over, let’s go. I have a story to tell you.”
“No, listen to that too.”
“what?”
At Lennox’s words, Jenny turned her head away.
“It is a story that does not need to be kept secret at the time of signing the sponsorship contract with the Antares office. Information will spread to the Balkans sooner or later anyway.”
“What the hell are you talking about… … .”
“It’s fun. How does that have anything to do with our work?”
Stella smoked an e-cigarette with a languid expression and laughed.
“Well, it’s us. If you share the information, I don’t have any intention of refusing.”
It wasn’t that Lennok had visited the company and the bar for the first time in a long time at Jenny’s request.
The continent’s situation and the latest information that I heard from both sides of the blue eye and Pandaemonium.
Among them, there was also information directly related to megacities.
Jenny is also a business partner with Lennok, but she is basically an undisclosed broker who connects freelancers.
It was only natural that the more one knew and acted on such information, the greater the benefit that could be obtained in a chaotic situation.
“… … The main body of Dead Rise will return?”
However, it was only natural that the three people’s expressions stiffened at Lennok’s words.
“It seems that such rumors are circulating as the front line is stabilized due to the armistice agreement between the Order League and the Church.”
“Is this information reliable?”
“maybe.”
“… … .”
Felix and Stella silently looked at each other at Lennok’s calm reply.
“This is a bigger problem than I thought.”
“… … Did you just say you would listen?”
There’s no way the two couldn’t understand why Lennok was telling this story.
However, Jenny didn’t care about that reaction and immediately tapped the laptop with a calm expression.
“The entry and exit records of mercenaries and soldiers on the central front are decreasing. It would be reasonable to assume that they are reorganizing their forces.”
“… … .”
“The dramatic increase in exports of the Republic of Paradini, the drastic decrease in the sales of northern industrial cities… … The estimate comes out roughly.”
Every time you tap your laptop, all sorts of news and articles start coming up through the projector.
Is it just listening to Lennok’s words, gathering relevant information and comparing it in real time?
It is not possible simply because of excellent data collection or computational ability.
Doing things in the shadows, quickly spotting certain tendencies through the tips and experiences you’ve acquired. The ability to compare facts and guess the big picture.
A partner with shrewd judgment and tact unmatched by anyone Lennok had ever worked with.
Because he was so smart and quick-witted, it was not enough to get his hands on the distribution business, so he was able to eat even the shadowy market.
Stella added her opinion with a slight admiration for Jenny’s work.
“There have been too few activities in the meantime. They’re not the kind of people who just sit around and die. If there was a promise that the main unit would return, I would understand.”
“Is this a decision that was made even before the central front stabilized?”
“No, rather than that… … It would be more accurate to say that he knew about the armistice agreement in advance.”
In response to Felix’s question, Jenny brushed her hair in response.
“Among the leaders of Dead Rise, there are people with close ties to the Church or the Spell Federation. This must be it.”
“I’m sure you are.”
“Because we know each other.”
Lennok was about to answer, but then stopped talking.
There was a complicated expression on Jenny’s face as she stared blankly at her laptop.
“These are people who have the ability and the heart to do that.”
“… … The core leaders of Dead
Rise are talented people who were Kaise’s henchmen in the past.
From Jenny’s point of view, Kaise’s granddaughter, it’s not strange that they know each other.
If Jenny, who didn’t mind even when her grandfather’s name came up, reacted like this, it must mean that their abilities and temperament are extraordinary.
“Do you think it will be dangerous?”
“… … well. The people I remember never move for no reason.”
Jenny replied, pressing her forehead with both hands.
“If you return to the city at a time like this, it won’t be because the frontlines are in a lull. For now, I will focus on observing trends.”
Jenny, who quickly manipulated her laptop to investigate both the deep web and the city information public network, turned to Lennok and said.
“More than half of the distribution network in the shadows is already in our hands. Even if the main body of Dead Rise returns and moves, we can detect the sign and block it.”
“… … ”
“Don’t worry. This is because this side is also concerned about power construction and manpower supply and demand. It is enough without borrowing the hand of the wounded.”
“… … No, rather than my physical condition, it would be better to focus on responding flexibly to the situation.”
“why?”
Lennok gave a light glance at Stella and Felix before answering. The two immediately understood and disappeared out of the office.
Lennok, who opened a magic field and blocked his senses, spoke.
“It’s true that I was injured during the battle with Onion at the time, but it’s not that serious.”
“… … Isn’t it serious?”
“okay. Better to say that if you need to fight, you don’t have to postpone the timing-”
Lennox’s words were immediately cut off by Jenny’s reaction, which jumped up from her seat.
Without hesitation, Jenny took a piece of paper from the shelf and put it down, staring at Lennok with a cold face on her arms. [Guidelines
for nursing care that
patients’ guardians must read and understand]
“… … Where did you get this from?”
The moment Lennok asked with a slightly absurd expression after confirming that it was Murphy’s medical record.
A voice came from behind Lennok.
“I saved you.
“… … .”
“It’s been a while since Jenny made a request directly to our office. It’s been a while since I used my strength.”
A young man in a coat with thick hair was standing leaning against the window of his office before he knew it, looking this way.
Even though the long hair was tossed back casually, the impression is surprisingly neat.
Contrary to the calm complexion, the force of magical power that seems to run wild from the inside.
Lennok checked the face and sighed quietly before standing up.
“… … Do I have to explain the reason why I opened the Antares magic field? I have no intention of waiting for an order.”
Level 8 physical ability. Director of the Antares Mercenary Office.
A transcendent fighter who can be counted among one hand in the shadows, and a traveler who has accumulated countless achievements and honors.
A prophet who accepted the inevitable outcome in exchange for obtaining a piece of battery.
Antares had been here from the beginning, and Lennok was already aware of that fact.
Antares smiled faintly and nodded at Lennok.
“I’m sorry for interfering in an important conversation, but I don’t have the time either.”
“Someone has a lot of free time, so-”
Lennok’s words cut off as soon as Antares opened his mouth.
“I have something to tell you about the fair. Would it be all right for a minute?”
An answer came back that did not suit the situation at all, but on the other hand, struck Lennok off guard.
