Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 626
Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 626
Steel Rule (1)
“Boyan must have had his own calculations.”
Lennok said, looking at Boyan biting his lip.
“Since there are too many furnaces, it is difficult to identify the heat source, so you would have thought that it would be difficult to notice even if the spirits were raised secretly.”
“… … .”
“Even after the number of furnaces increased to five, I thought it wouldn’t be noticeable if the spirits ate up the heat, but the problem was that I overlooked the fact that the spirits start emitting heat on their own as they grow.”
Even if someone looks inside to inspect the furnace’s internal facilities, the spirit will just change into a spiritual body and hide.
Otherwise, it would suffice to avoid the prying eyes of the watchers by running between the aisles of this intricate workshop furnace.
“The fact that Machine City is relatively unfamiliar with elemental magic must have been a good environment for hiding spirits for a long time. You did a good job with your hair.”
“Why is it Boyan?”
Cyberd finally looked back at Boyan with his hands trembling with a reddened face.
“I thought I had never treated you badly, but how could you betray my trust for years… … !!!”
“… … sorry.”
“It’s not an apology, it’s to tell me the reason!!!”
Boyan hugged the spirit and bowed his head instead of answering the sad cry.
“Because if I can raise spirits well and become a successful elementalist, in a sense, it might be better than remaining as a workshop master.”
Lennok sat down in front of Boyan, who smiled and lowered his head, making eye contact with him.
“Perhaps you thought that even if all the time you spent in the workshop would become meaningless, it would be enough if you endured for a few years and raised the spirit like this?”
“Yeah, what do you know… … !!”
Boyan jumped up and grabbed Lennok by the collar as if he had been burned.
“Don’t be ridiculous, the kid who just came up to the high-level workshop today dares… … !!”
“yarn!!”
Cyberd yelled loudly, but Boyan, who was very excited, didn’t stop there.
“Do you have proof? Are you talking like you know what I’m thinking just because you got a few guesses right?”
“evidence?”
But Lennok gave himself up to Boyan’s touch and laughed.
He put his shaky head to Boyan’s ear and whispered softly so that only he could hear.
“That spirit. Shall I guess where you got it?”
“… … !!!”
Lennok’s acceptance of Cyberd’s request was not only to secure a new position in the upper workshop district.
Traces of spirits that can’t be hidden subtly emanating from the Cyberd who came to visit him.
It was because he was convinced that, in a sense, it was also related to the essential purpose Lennok was looking for in the Machine City.
Boyan did not acquire the spirit by accident.
Someone who gifted him with spirits and enlightened him to his talent as a spiritist.
Lennok had just confirmed with that reaction that the man behind it had something to do with Makina’s secret, which Lennok was aware of.
“Looking at the reaction, I think we can narrow down the candidates further.”
“profit… … !!”
Boyan’s face contorted terribly, as if he thought that if he continued like this, all of his secrets would be revealed.
widely!!
Boyan, who pushed Lennok away with all his might, pushed forward the fire spirit he was holding in his arms and raised his mana.
The lizard spirit, which synchronized its own power in response to Boyan’s magical power, immediately opened its mouth wide.
[Shhhhhhhhhh!!]
He vomited out fierce flames with a strange metal sound.
Kwaaaa!!!
A wave of enormous heat engulfed the workshop in an instant, and it burst through the wall.
The moment when the other artisans’ complexions hardened at the tremendous firepower beyond what was expected and their eyes focused on Lennok, who was swept away by the flames.
“profit… … !!”
Boyan, carrying a fire spirit between his sides, quickly began to run away.
In an instant, Yan ran to the wall of the studio he had made a hole in and disappeared.
Craftsmen who were crouching in the wind of flame, unable to move properly, hurriedly raised their phones.
“Breast police!! Call the police!!”
“No, we have to call the firefighters first!!”
“wait for a sec. Come to think of it, the craftsman named Lyman… … !!”
Several artisans who hurriedly rose from their seats hurriedly checked the spot where the fire spirit had swept away and widened their eyes.
It was because there was not a speck of dust left, let alone ashes of corpses near the workbench, which was scorched by the lizard’s flames.
Mouser, who was yawning while standing next to the brazier, was smacking his lips in a carefree manner.
* * *
“Ha ha ha!!”
Boyan ran like crazy with a lizard on his side.
People all over the street looked at the spirits held by Boyan as if they were curious. I hurriedly tucked the lizard into my collar and hid it.
In an instant, his whole body was covered with sweat due to the spirit’s heat and the intense speed, but Boyan didn’t care.
Boyan’s whole body was drenched in a cold sweat at the point he had already been questioned as a criminal right in front of his master’s nose once.
“X-X-X-X… … !!!”
With his mouth constantly muttering harsh words, he managed to turn around and escape to a deserted alleyway.
I hadn’t thought of this at first.
Even when he got his hands on the spirits, he only thought of taking care of himself in the workshop until he could handle spirit magic properly.
How long did it take for the hope that started with a small wind to grow endlessly and turn into greed?
It was already too late when he started secretly raising spirits in the furnace and failed to reveal that the temperature inside the workshop was fluctuating.
“Even if it wasn’t for that bastard… … !!”
If it hadn’t been for the bullshit the shady artisan the master had brought in, they would never have been caught.
I thought there really wasn’t much left until I became a full-fledged elementalist by feeding on the flames of the furnace for a few more years and raising spirits.
everything has gone to waste
The only thing left by Boyan’s side is a spirit that greedily ate the heat of the furnace and now started spewing out flames on its own.
[Shish-shit?]
Boyan looked at the lizard sticking his head out through his collar and flicking his tongue, then stopped slowly and sat down between the walls.
“haha… … .”
In order to raise the spirit properly, he searched for related books and information, but Boyan did not produce any special results.
All the information about spiritism that exists in the mechanical city of Makina is from a long time ago.
But Boyan believed that becoming an elementalist was the way to rise higher in this cramped machine city.
The flame of the spirit that can never be explained by the experience of the old people and artisans in the savvy workshop.
There is no doubt that there are no artisans or businessmen who want to smelt or process metals through these spirit sparks.
And in this mechanical city with few elemental magicians, this ability is a unique benefit that only Boyan can provide.
With this ability, Boyan can obtain a unique position in the Machine City that no one has ever occupied.
“I was planning to leave the studio and start a business within the next two years… … !!”
“It’s a brilliant idea, but that’s impossible.”
“… … !!”
A cold voice came from right behind the wall where Boyan was leaning against.
As if recognizing Boyan, who jumped to his feet, he saw someone leisurely walking out from behind the wall.
“It is difficult to realize the great singularity of the elemental magic of spirits in the material world. This is only possible if the spirit itself has a high hierarchy or the essence of the spiritual body itself originates from a special environment.”
Lennok, leaning against the wall, glanced at the spirit Boyan was holding.
“Your spirit does not belong to either of the two. It is a vain dream.”
“… … .”
Even though he was openly denying Boyan’s thoughts right in front of his eyes, Boyan couldn’t answer anything for a moment.
It was because the spirit exuded by the craftsman named Lyman, who had been interrogating him in the workshop earlier, and the man standing in front of him felt completely different.
The appearance of a craftsman who felt neat and tidy somewhere is nowhere to be found.
Even if he just stares at Boyan with an expressionless face, he is so precarious that he can’t guess his next move.
A mixture of eerieness and anticipation of unknown form, scattering and spreading with a strange sense of coercion.
Boyan thought for a moment that Lennok didn’t look like the same person.
“Wow!”
As if in a seizure, it raises its meager amount of mana and will to the utmost, and pours it into the spirit that embraces it.
The moment when the lizard, clearly aware of its owner’s underlying desire and intent to kill, opened its mouth wide with its burning feathers erected and its body inflated.
Waves of flame burst from the Lizard Spirit’s mouth.
Kwaaaaa!!!
A fire that was stronger and lower than any other that Boyan had ever attempted with a spirit.
With this, I could undoubtedly burn that man down without a handful of corpses.
Boyan, who had been cornered, turned upside down with the joy of the moment, and at that moment, water streams poured in front of Lenok, who was standing still, blocking the waves of flame.
Shoot aaaaa!!!
“… … .”
An empty alley where nothing exists. A stream of water shot out of nowhere from beyond.
Boyan, who looked away with a dazed face, found the reason right next to Lennok and gritted his teeth.
“The fire hydrant… … !!”
A fire hydrant standing dusty on a corner of the street suddenly exploded. The stream of water was shot right in front of Lennok’s nose, stopping the flames.
Lennok asked, looking at the slowly dying flames.
“You were lucky. yes?”
“Nonsense. Could this be a coincidence!!!”
What is the probability that the fire hydrant will explode just in time when Boyan shoots out the spirit flame?
Even if the god of luck is protecting him, it is impossible according to common sense.
Even more so, there can be no errors or coincidences in Machina, where the distance is controlled by systems and electronic signals.
Boyan, who knew this, tried to refute it somehow, but Lennok suppressed Boyan’s resistance with one word.
“What if it’s not a coincidence?”
“… … what?”
“Wouldn’t it be easier for you to think that it was just a coincidence and that you were lucky?”
what the hell are you talking about That moment when Boyan thought blankly about its meaning.
Clap!!
A telephone pole standing by the side of the alley suddenly snapped in half and landed on Boyan’s head.
coo!!
“Huh!!”
The moment when Boyan, barely avoiding the heavy weight of the cement lump, stepped back in fright.
A nearby wall was shattered, and an unattended vehicle emerged from within and rammed the boyan.
Quaang!!
[Shit!!]
When the lizard in Boyan’s arms opened its mouth wide and spewed out flames once more, the vehicle melted on the spot.
However, it did not stop there, and all kinds of facilities and structures in the street poured down on Boyan all at once as if bad luck had struck.
bang!!
Disassembled traffic lights fall overhead and wires buried under the road are overheated and melt underfoot.
A nearby trash can exploded, covering its contents, and a rotating drone crashed into Boyan’s back as if patrolling the nearby streets.
Every time he tries to attack Lennok using the power of the spirit, the whole street tenaciously grabs Boyan’s foot as if it were a living creature.
“haha… … !!”
The moment Boyan ran in front of Lennok to deal with Lennok somehow, avoiding the exploding and scattering facilities around him.
The sewer cover under his feet soared up like an explosion and hit Boyan’s chin with it.
oops!!!
Boyan’s pupils, whose lower jaw was twisted diagonally, flipped on the spot.
Even so, as a user of magic, he desperately tries to somehow hold on to his consciousness and continue the fight.
“… … wow!!”
The moment he approaches Lennok’s nose, he feels an unknown horror and sits down on the spot, gagging in vain.
Lennok looked at Boyan curiously, then walked slowly, knelt down, and looked down at Boyan.
“It doesn’t seem like you have talent as a spiritist. If you can feel something with only your spirituality, it means that the sense itself is alive.”
“What the hell are you… … .”
Boyan, who was struggling to sit down with a pale complexion, spoke with difficulty.
Lennok ignored Boyan’s words and casually took out the lizard spirit from Boyan’s arms.
Even though it was a hand that did not contain any magical power or power, Boyan couldn’t even resist and gave it away.
The lizard, unlike before, couldn’t resist at all, and was just lifted into Lennok’s hand, stiff as a dead corpse.
“I’ve killed a lot of spirits lately.”
said Lennok with a smile.
“I think it’s because I let go of my presence so I can feel it.”
“Heh heh heh… … !!”
Lennok slowly lifted the lizard and looked at Boyan, who was gasping for breath and unable to answer properly.
“Your spirit I couldn’t explain before, but it’s a pretty unusual spiritual body.”
“… … what?”
Lennok’s eyes glinted coldly at the spirit.
“To be precise, it’s a spirit that shouldn’t be here.”
Although he did not explain it to the other artisans, Lennok knew that this lizard spirit did not originate from this world.
In World 2.0, the fire spirit that was basically given to the spirit magician at the same time as learning fire spirit magic.
El Dorgon. tarhim. Although it was called in an unknown language, it was known as ‘Salamander’ to players.
What Boyan got was a relic from the second world and a trace of the spirit.
The fact that he was able to recognize and find the cause of the cyberd workshop relatively quickly was also because the arc was somewhat different from the traces of the spirits that Lennok knew.
Lennok was already half-assured that the faint sense of alienation was no coincidence.
‘Traces of the old world are more widespread in Machina than I thought.’
This is already the third time that I personally witnessed traces of the old world in the machine city of Makina.
Is it a coincidence that I encountered the knowledge and traces that were difficult to see even in a large city several times in this city?
It was only for this moment that Boyan didn’t immediately catch Lennok at the workshop and ran away.
“Although spirits can be accidentally born in rough terrain or in extreme environmental conditions, there is no way you could have acquired a Salamander by yourself.”
Lennok asked.
“Who is it?”
“… … .”
Is it because it is Boyan’s most fatal memory and weakness?
Even in the midst of breaking out in a cold sweat, Boyan somehow tried to evade the answer.
chin!!
Lennok held Boyan’s chin with one hand and forcibly met his eyes with his eyes.
“Answer me.”
Keying!!
“Ahhh… … .”
There was an illusion that Lennok’s eyes reflected in Boyan’s pupils were bizarrely spinning.
After a bizarre battle that is difficult to explain in words, Boyan’s spirit is pushed to the limit.
It was only for this moment that he completely closed the corner where he could physically and mentally escape and brought him to a dead end.
Boyan’s mind, which collapsed so easily that it was pointless, was pierced by the demon’s eye and penetrated the deepest part of the memory.
Dig!!
[Blindfold. Are you sure?]
[Yes, yes. Of course.]
Only Boyan, who is trembling in the darkness, and the voice of the man who is blunt can be heard.
[I’m saying this for you, not me, so make sure there are no gaps in covering the angle of view.]
The man, using an old-fashioned tone, spoke again.
[Ordinary people will have no choice but to become idiots on the spot once they face the light of the door even a little bit.]
[That… … What the hell is a door?]
I wonder if the man’s words that worried about her eased her tension a bit.
The boyan in my memory summoned up the courage to speak.
[Why did you do this to a craftsman like me… … Are you asking me to?]
[…] … .]
[I thought I could get paid, but I didn’t know this… … This kind of thing is so scary!!]
Boyan trembles with his hands tied while walking in a space where he can’t even see an inch ahead.
The man was silent, then answered quietly.
[Excess is not as good as lack, existence always precedes extinction. Violation of this law requires a price.]
[…] … Yes?]
[We all have to share the responsibility for awakening lost memories.]
The man scolded Boyan, ignoring Boyan, who didn’t understand what he was saying and asked back in a daze.
[You can rest assured that you have not been chosen or have to make sacrifices. Besides you, many people have already taken out forgotten things from the door and grabbed them in return, so they forgot.]
[…] … .]
[It is enough for you to stand in front of the door and remind us that the cycle of failure is still running.]
The man said calmly.
[Because that would be the only rope remaining for those of us who failed in ascending to heaven.] At the
maddening will contained within it, Boyan kept his mouth shut without giving any answer.
Just accept the reality that is facing you and walk forward trembling.
[The time required is only an instant. You don’t have to wait long. All the conversations here today become just a handful of bubbles and sink to the bottom of the world.]
Clap!!
At that moment, Boyan, who had not felt anything, heard something moving in front of his nose.
Koo-woong wi-ying click shoot!!
Kleureung Gulleok… … !!
A bizarre sound that seems to be a machine or a creature, as if monsters and humans, all existing forms move together in unison.
Even though all senses are blocked and only two ears are listening to the sound, I cannot escape from the overwhelming amount of information.
My limbs and shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and saliva leaked out of my mouth.
The moment when I couldn’t control my body and forgot to breathe in a trance in the sound of Boyan.
the man said
[The door opens. Get ready.]
