Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 687
Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 687
The Witch and the Mage Tower (1)
“So, didn’t you say it was a coincidence?”
“Is it a coincidence?”
Lancia shook her head in embarrassment.
“How could someone accidentally blow up a studio building?”
“… … .”
After Lennok blew up the studio building while copying the self-defense technique Palban.
Even after the fuss had passed, the two of them were still trying to recreate the mysterious phenomenon earlier.
“If it hadn’t been fortunate that we had catastrophe insurance, we would all have been taken to the police station amicably.”
If it weren’t for the one-time restoration magic built into the studio building, the remains would have leaked out intact.
Lennok cleared his throat and slightly averted his gaze.
“I will pay the insurance processing fee separately later. Or even by casting the restoration magic again-”
“No, I don’t need money, so let’s try recreating it again.”
Lancia’s eyes were already shining with unexpected interest.
“Aren’t you curious about what part of Gujung’s arrival brought out its potential?”
“well… … .”
Lennok was also surprised, but the facts are not entirely unpredictable.
Remaining black magic remaining after using two-in-law or black magic learned from innocent.
If you check the other artifacts or relics that don’t follow Lennok’s control, you might be able to deduce the cause.
However, it is a fact that can only be found out by investigating Lennox alone in the laboratory, not agonizing with Lancia.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t interested in the martial arts of Gujungdorae, but he just thought that there would be no meaning in this way.
“hmm… … .”
Lancia muttered, observing Lennok’s body creaking with a thoughtful expression.
“Surprisingly, the accuracy of each movement is quite high. Considering your flexibility, that’s a lot of willpower.”
“… … .”
“However, the coordination between each body part is a mess. It looks accurate at first glance, but it lacks a sense of rhythm.”
“I don’t understand why you need a sense of rhythm to move your body.”
“The human body is not a machine, but a living creature.”
Lancia said that and lightly stanceed.
Even though it seems to be moving, I feel a sense of stability that is different from the posture Lenok has done so far.
The moment Lancia exhaled lightly, her waist rotated as if bouncing and her arms stretched out.
As if a gentle wave rushed in, an intangible vibration swayed from her danjeon and spread through her fingers.
A crisp firestorm rode her forearm and turned into a single breeze.
Paang!!
The wind overturned several mats on the studio floor.
This amount of recoil just by matching the flow in the body without using any magic power.
Lancia straightened her posture as if it was not a big deal and said.
“The biorhythm and the flow of breathing mana are close to the realm of the senses. It is to designate specific movements to stabilize the mind and body and train them to produce balanced results.”
“… … .”
“Part of that is that coordination is important. In order to entrust the body to the huge flow, each body tissue would have to move as organically as possible.”
That’s not wrong. I know I’m not wrong, but… … .
“… … like this?”
“Isn’t that half the word, sir?”
“… … .”
Compared to Lancia, Lennok’s gestures while sweating profusely are awkward.
“The direction of moving the limbs and the timing of shifting the balance are correct… … It’s surprisingly inconsistent.”
Lancia tilted her head.
“Seeing that there are almost no errors, it’s definitely not that I didn’t understand or that I was wrong on purpose… … .”
Lancia, who was worried, asked with a slightly surprised expression as if she had realized something.
“Are you moving your body by calculating each movement?”
“… … .”
The timing and direction of the movement of the limbs are as accurate as a ruler, but the speed and the point of arrival do not match.
Because of that, the body does not move organically and it is not natural even though the movement is accurately implemented.
Through him, Lancia realized that Lennok was performing each movement separately, rather than surrendering to the general flow.
“and… … .”
A rare admiration appeared on Lancia’s face, who had not lost her composure.
“I knew he was someone who spends his money on weird things, but I’ve never seen anyone with such an unusual talent.”
“I’m a bit eccentric.”
“It’s not a compliment.”
“… … .”
He is a picky person.
But Lennok thought so in his heart, but relaxed and exhaled lightly.
“Today we will end here.”
“yes?”
“Because I knew the cause of the problem and I knew there was no easy way to fix it.”
“… … .”
Seeing the problem on the outside and pinpointing the cause in an instant.
An intuition sharp enough that the conclusion reached in that way touches the essence of Lennok to some extent.
I’m sure he wasn’t an ordinary instructor. She too must have been an excellent martial artist and warrior beyond appearances.
But whether it solves Lennok’s problem is another matter altogether.
If coordination itself becomes a problem and it is difficult to learn martial arts, Lennok does not need to invest a long time.
Rather, it would be better to refine the two-in, the image-throwing technique given to you by Innocent, and train it so that you can use it perfectly.
But the moment Lennok said that and was about to turn around after wiping his sweat with a towel.
Lancia grabbed him by the shoulder.
“Instructor?”
“What are you talking about? I haven’t even started yet.”
said Lancia, who casually turned Lennok back to the studio.
“So much fun… … No, personally, I don’t want to give up the opportunity to teach a special student.”
“… … .”
I think I just heard something I shouldn’t have heard.
Lennok sighed, checked the remaining time, and turned around.
In the evening, I have an appointment at Jenny’s bar. Until then, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to fill the scheduled class time.
“great. Do you have any ideas for a solution?”
“It’s simple.”
Lancia grinned.
“If you keep calculating motions in your head and your coordination is poor, wouldn’t it be better not to let them calculate?”
“… … yes?”
For a moment, I felt the strength in Lancia’s hand holding Lennok’s shoulder
.
* * *
Area 49. Jenny’s Bar.
A table in a noisy bar as usual.
The room behind the counter is exquisitely hidden from the eyes of the customers visiting the bar.
Lennok was sitting there, his forearms rolled up, carefully applying the patch.
An item with a built-in vitality formula manufactured by Corsil Pharmaceutical Company, which is particularly effective for muscle pain and arthritis.
Now that the pharmaceutical company has gone bankrupt, it is a product that is difficult to find even in the dark, so it is worth calling.
Lennok’s expression as he applied the paste with utmost concentration was like that of an artist carving out a delicate piece.
Calculation to accurately analyze the area where pain is felt in the muscle and relieve pain as much as possible in a limited quantity.
good!!
A sigh flowed from Lennok’s mouth as he adjusted the position in millimeters with the magician and added a patch to the end of his wrist.
“Whoa… … .”
“What the hell are you doing here, bandaging all over your body?”
Jenny, who was sitting on the counter, asked without looking back at Lennok.
“It seems like it’s been a long time since you rolled like this.”
“… … A lot happened.”
In the end, Lennok followed Lancia until the end of class, and joined the physical exercise to not think at all.
I was fooled by her suggestion that I could develop internal coordination, but I had to pay a harsh price for it.
Already, stiff muscle pain was creeping in all over my body.
If you don’t fall asleep on painkillers tonight, you may not be able to get out of bed tomorrow.
At least I should take comfort in the fact that it wasn’t completely ineffective, as Lancia said.
Lennok, who confirmed that the pain had lessened by smoothing his knuckles, finally turned his gaze to Jenny.
“You’d better focus your mind a little more than that.”
Jenny, while conversing with Lennok, put her hands together and frowned as if trying to concentrate on something.
“It wouldn’t be easy enough to succeed while having a conversation, right?”
“… … like this?”
“You don’t have to answer.”
“… … .”
Jenny’s mouth is tightly shut and her hands are shaking with her eyes closed.
Between her thumb and forefinger, a blue circle of magical power emerged and slowly rotated.
Keyiing… … !!
Ouroboros, a permanent institution built by Lennok as a real magic system.
Through Jenny, Lennok was resuming a class he had tried and abandoned a long time ago.
Of course, it is impossible for Jenny, who is not a proper wizard, to perfectly learn the Ouroboros magic system.
In the first place, if you do not have a transcendental intuition like Lennok, it is impossible to handle the magic system, no matter how brilliant a genius is.
But why is Lennok taking the time to teach Jenny this skill?
It was because if you could use it properly even once, it could be a shield that could save your life in a desperate moment.
dismissal… … !!
“Puha… … !!”
The moment the ring of light circling around her fingertips disappeared, Jenny opened her eyes and gasped for breath.
“I think this is harder than I thought. Is this the correct training method?”
“Don’t answer doesn’t mean don’t breathe.”
Lennok replied with a smile.
“I think I need to develop my stamina first, not my concentration.”
“… … .”
Jenny glared at Lennok, then sneered and crossed her arms.
“What good. Anyway, I got a rough idea. No matter how much I am, if I practice a few times, I can do it alone.”
“okay. I’m practicing for that… … .”
Saying that, Lennok turned his gaze to the side.
“By the way, Jordan doesn’t seem to need much practice in whatever he does in the first place.”
Next to Jenny, who was practicing magic between the counter and the room, Jordon raises a scalpel with a cautious face.
A huge chunk of tuna the size of an adult man lay in front of him.
“… … .”
The moment Jordan closed his eyes, grabbed a scalpel and lightly placed the blade on the belly of the tuna.
Awesome!!
The belly of the tuna split evenly along the skin and lined up on the cutting board in an instant.
Other customers who were watching the scene whistled loudly and clapped.
“Ohhh!!”
“This is the best tuna dismantling show I have ever seen!!”
“Grandpa, when did you learn this skill?!”
said Jordan, calmly wiping the scalpel.
“I get 100,000 cells per point. Everyone line up.”
“expensive!!”
“Isn’t that a crazy overkill?!”
“Think of it as the cost of showing a dismantling show.”
Even taking into account the fact that items sold in the dark are more expensive, the price is jaw-dropping.
While complaining in a voice mixed with astonishment, customers dutifully line up to purchase tuna belly fat.
The people who put a piece of belly fat in their mouths with an unreliable expression reluctantly nodded.
“… … It’s worth the money.”
“okay. Sometimes these snacks are worth trying.”
Lennok, who was watching the scene from the side, said as if he was dumbfounded.
“Don’t you think the concept of the bar has suddenly changed?”
“At the last party, I saw a new possibility in this business.”
Jenny nodded with a confident expression.
“Inexpensive labor costs, outrageous net profit ratios, markets outside the law and immature professionals… … The future is in the sea. We will become the rulers of the Balkan fishing industry!!”
“… … .”
It seemed that someone with that cheap labor cost would still be suffering on a tuna fishing boat, but Lennok nodded without thinking deeply.
Jenny laughed greedily, not caring about Lennok’s reaction.
“Once we completely control the distribution network in the shadows, we will create a full-fledged maritime distribution network to deliver fish… … All preparations are complete. It would be perfect if you lobby the central council in advance through an agent.”
“It’s just full of words that make you look stupid just by listening to them.”
“VIPs are also responding. If you attract the attention of the rich, securing a premium is not a chore. A completely new brand-”
Lennok thought about Jenny, who started talking to herself excitedly whether she heard it or not.
‘It’s a premium… … .’
He had contacted Hireah via a secret line, but he had not yet received a reply.
In the meantime, I should organize the harvests from the Machine City and the Senate as much as possible.
Although the authority to create the Mage Tower has been approved, you need to find out what conditions and assets it actually requires.
‘I’ll have to start tracking Kaise’s traces again… … .’
Although it ended with obtaining the information of the gate of ascension, the situation has yet to find Kaise’s grave.
I haven’t been able to specify which one of the Lonely City and the Military Command City yet.
It is true that Lennok, who watched Armand’s alter ego ability from the sidelines, wanted to refine the incarnation’s ability to embody a little more in the military command city.
There was no need to increase the work at the point where the research on Orocnier’s mass technique, which was obtained right away, had not been properly completed.
Not to mention, there are a few more things to do according to the message Myeong left.
As Lennok was aware of the purpose of Pandemonium to some extent, he wanted to gather information about the central front in advance.
However, all the information about the central front that Lennok has heard so far was only secured with the help of the Blue Eye.
‘It would be nice if someone knew more about the central front… … .’
“half?”
“… … for a moment.”
Lennok’s expression hardened slightly as he smiled and listened to Jenny’s ambitious plans.
The moment Lennok put down his drink and turned towards the closed bar door.
squeaky!!
The door opened and I heard someone walk in from the other side.
again and again.
Unlike the gestures that seem tired from the long journey, the sound of the steps is sharp.
Contrary to the dusty coat and somewhat languid gestures, the bright red hair.
The expressionless face gives a strange impression that feels bloody at first glance.
Even if you don’t bother to show off, the dark life that comes out naturally.
It is close to the sense of déjà vu that can sometimes be felt by soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a very long time.
“… … .”
The bar was still buzzing as she settled into an empty seat, but Lennok could feel it.
The fact that all the freelancers and mercenaries in this place, who pretend to be nothing while drinking and talking about themselves, are quietly watching her.
Jenny, too, probably noticed that fact, and quietly tilted her head and whispered.
“Half that woman… … .”
“okay.”
The hot magic itself that flowed from her whole body like a blazing fire.
The momentum of a completer who has accumulated experience and trained himself in numerous battlefields beyond level 7.
Lennok knew who the owner was from the moment she entered the bar.
One of the five rosaries of the Blaber Tower and a veteran who has fought and survived on the central front for a long time.
A flame-type Aspect Wizard with excellent skills and a fireman on the battlefield who specializes in artillery fire.
The Witch of Saturation. Tatiana Chiglet had come to Jenny’s bar.
“I will go and talk to you myself.”
The moment Lennok nodded and was about to stand up.
[Master.]
Quietly in his arms, Darby signaled to Lennok. It means that Hirea’s reply has arrived.
Lennok, who had been thinking for a moment, quietly took out his cell phone from his arms.
A secret line that encrypted the cell phone network itself with the help of Dabi. Hirea is only aware that this line belongs to Victor.
[I heard the story. But not right now. The other side isn’t ready yet.]
Surprisingly, the reply wasn’t too long.
[In the meantime, there is something I want to entrust to you, would you like to hear it? An interesting thing came from the central front.]
The moment Lennok passed the message, his fingers stopped for a moment.
[The Fire Witch escaped with the Phoenix Hall of the previous Mage Tower owner. I got information that it was sighted near Balkan not too long ago.]
“… … .”
[Currently, War Mages and mercenaries from the Central Front are tracking her. Kill or capture. Contact me if you want to kill me.]
As soon as Lennok read that phrase, he raised his gaze across the bar.
At about the same time, other mercenaries rose from their seats and could see them approaching Tatiana.
