Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 726
Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 726
Wizard and Mage Tower (3)
Rabatenon Magic University.
Aris Richelen’s lab.
In the lab, which had now become half Lennok’s room, Lennok was watching the news over a secret line.
Chi-chi-chi-chi-jik… … !!
Bizarre texts appearing regularly on a noisy screen without an anchor delivering the news.
A strange ciphertext completely different from the continental common language that Lennok knew and used.
This screen, which looks like an unknown ghost story, is one of the very few secret lines that share publicized information on the central front.
An antenna made of a special catalyst produced only in the center.
Through it, if you match the irregularly changing frequency and connect it to the line, you can hear the information of the central wire, even if it is just a cursory glance.
You can’t hear the really important news happening inside the curtain, but you can still hear the aftermath of the big players move, albeit belatedly.
Chi support… … !!
[Blank in the first gateway.]
[Retirement or assassination of the master of the Blaber Magic Tower.]
[Major movement of the church’s apostles.]
[A month before the ‘Strategic Weapon’ opening ceremony of the Transcendental Enlightenment Corps.]
[Resumption of activities of the warlords as heads. .]
“… … ”
Information about the central front is being scattered indiscriminately, but not all of the news is true.
Lennok, who knows the whole story, knows that the information being conveyed is a strong mixture of speculation and personal opinion, but it will be difficult for those who have not set foot on the front line to tell them apart.
In the first place, this line was not acquired by Lennok.
It’s just that Lennok arbitrarily took and uses the line that Dean Cyolus Garteanon had personally owned.
It was one of the small gains of Lennok’s free access to the dean’s office after the publication of his second thesis.
[Boo~]
A hairball spirit wriggling and climbing over Lennok’s head as he blankly stared at the noisy screen.
The hairball looked upside down at Lennok from above, covered his eyes with both hands, and shook his head.
[Couple~ Boo~]
“… … .”
Darby, clawed tight in his arms, replied curtly.
[Master doesn’t get bad eyesight just by watching TV.]
[Couple~]
[That’s presbyopia.]
I wondered what he was trying to say, but did he mean not to look at the screen for too long?
No, there was another part that was more interesting than that.
“… … Were you listening?”
[That’s right, basic communication is possible.]
Darby answered by tapping his tail.
[It is a spiritual body that has lived for a long time, so it is quite independent in terms of self-formation and memory.]
“I see… … .”
[Of course, not to that extent!]
Darby proudly shouting with his tail wide open.
Patting the spirit, whose self-appeal has increased significantly lately, Lennok lifted the remote control.
In order to maintain the line, the frequency must be changed regularly.
The moment I was about to operate the remote control to find out if there was still information or news about the lord of the tower.
There was a knock on the lab door.
“professor?”
Lennok, who quickly turned off the screen, answered.
“It’s fine to come in.”
squeaky!!
A female student with striking blue hair entered through the door.
It was a face that Lennok knew well.
Priscilla, the younger sister of Mila, a mercenary whom she knows as a classmate.
An undergraduate who had a great talent for water current magic, but on the contrary, wanted to work in the mercenary industry along with her older sister.
Carefully closing the door and entering the lab, Priscilla asked in surprise when she saw Lennok holding the remote control.
“Did I interrupt you?”
“… … no. It’s not something you have to do right away.”
said Lennok, pointing to the single-seat sofa across from him.
“Can I have coffee?”
“Oh thank you… … .”
Priscilla, who was sipping while holding the mug with both hands, noticed Lennok.
Lennox looked at her and nodded.
“If you have any questions you want to ask, feel free to do so. Is it for lectures or papers?”
“Oh, of course, but… … .”
Priscilla laughed shyly.
“I think it’s the first time I’ve seen the professor watch TV. I was curious about what programs you watch.”
“… … Nothing difficult.”
If you turn the external input, the normal channel will appear on the screen again.
As soon as I arrived at the lab, I connected the line to receive information, so I didn’t know where the channel was, but it wasn’t particularly a hindrance.
As long as there is Dabi who can manipulate electronic devices freely, I will immediately return the channel to an unsuspecting place.
The moment Lennok answered and calmly turned on the screen.
Loud music burst out with a cheerful voice.
[An extravagant cruise trip only for spirits. Apply now!!]
An advertisement appeared showing dozens of spirits dancing cutely on top of a huge ship.
[Does your life partner look down lately? Or don’t you think you don’t eat snacks well?]
The man on the boat, who looked like a celebrity, winked.
[Spirit Cruise Package special sale prepared for you!! 5 million cells in 14 days. What an unbelievable price!!]
“… … .”
“… … .”
Priscilla wide-eyed, and Lennok, hardened like a stone while holding the remote control.
Darby proudly stretched out her chest and rolled on the floor as if the Furball Spirit was excited to see the screen.
[Boo! Boo! Boo!]
Priscilla, who had been sneaking a glance at Lennok, cleared her throat.
“Hmmmm, if you’re making travel plans, I’ll interrupt…” … .”
“… … no, that’s fine.”
Lennok laughed as he grabbed Darby’s tail with his other hand while turning the screen off again with the remote control.
Priscilla nodded in understanding.
“As expected, the professor seems to have a lot of interest in the spirit’s welfare and rest.”
“If the question is answered, shall we go to the main topic?”
“Oh yes.”
Priscilla said that and nodded, but couldn’t help but ask.
“As expected, to become a spiritist, is it possible to be someone who pays close attention to spirits like the professor?”
“yes?”
“To be with a great spirit like Darby, you have to put in your natural talents and sincerity… … .”
Looking at Priscilla, who was somewhat sullen, Lennok rested his chin and looked at him.
Because the reaction itself seemed to be related to the purpose of Priscilla’s visit to the lab.
“Priscilla. Do you want to become an elementalist?”
“Oh no. Rather than wanting to be… … Now I realize how great it is to deal with spirits.”
Priscilla laughed bitterly.
“I’m looking for a place to work, and almost every company has an elementalist in their preferences. Regardless of the type of spirit, it’s an atmosphere to hire and see.”
“… … .”
“Even in the field, they treat elemental magicians much more favorably than ordinary wizards.”
“Because there are many cases where spirits have combat abilities separate from magicians.”
Lennok replied.
“Apart from the magician’s combat ability, there are many cases where he can perform the tasks that a wizard should do while helping with the strategy.”
In high-ranking battles, such cases are rare as each other’s fields of expertise are thoroughly diverged.
It is only natural that such versatility is favored in the field where Priscilla wants to work.
“ha… … If possible, I would like to work in the field, but it is not as easy as it sounds.”
“Didn’t you receive several offers from the city government’s research institute?”
Quite some time had passed since Lennok served as an assistant professor at Rabatenon.
Priscilla, who was just a freshman in college when they first met, has come to decide her career path.
I’ve heard that Priscilla’s aptitude and performance in the water system are excellent, and many research institutes are eyeing her.
Since the water streams are relatively helpful for elaborate work, she might be treated well too.
However, Priscilla did not seem to have any intentions towards the research institute in the first place.
“You still want to go to the site.”
“Because my sister is over there. My thoughts do not change.”
said Priscilla.
“It was because of my sister that I was able to become a wizard. Now I want to help.”
“okay… … .”
Of course, Lennok didn’t want to put a lesson on Mila and Priscilla’s family relationship, so he just gave them a good match.
There was no way Lennok could help her with her decision in the first place.
If he had rather pursued a research institute, he might have been able to give advice or help as Evan, but
his position as an assistant professor at this university is a position that is thoroughly distanced from such shadows.
If Priscilla had come to ask for a favor instead of Evan, she might have been able to provide meaningful help.
Rather, if Aris had been here rather than Lennok, wouldn’t he have been able to find the right solution?
While Lennok thought so and fell silent, Priscilla glanced at Lennok.
“That’s what I mean… … .”
It’s as if he’s preparing words that are difficult to say.
Lennok nodded.
“Is there anything I can help you with?”
Priscilla and I have known each other for quite some time in college, and her older sister, Mila, is close to her through various identities.
It would be difficult to ask for a favor or directly insert it into the field, but if it is enough to add to the value of Evan’s name, there will be something to be condescending.
While Lennok thought so and waited for his words, Priscilla spoke as if making up her mind.
“Actually I… … I decided where to go.”
“Where are you?”
“Professor, of course you know, but he said that sooner or later a new Mage Tower will be built in Balkan.”
“… … yes?”
Priscilla explained while Lennok did not understand what he was saying for a moment.
“It’s a mage tower scheduled to be built in the outlying area, but it’s actually the first in the Balkans. Everyone is talking about it.”
“… … .”
“It’s relatively close to the site, but officially approved, so there are rumors that it will be accepting applicants soon.”
“that… … .”
“That’s why I want to apply there.”
“… … .”
Lennok didn’t answer right away and fell silent.
I thought rumors would spread because I didn’t even hide the construction site with the engine installed on the tower.
It was because I didn’t expect that even the undergraduates of Rabatenon were already talking about it.
How much more is it going around saying that since the tower is newly built, they will increase the manpower?
Of course, after the construction of the tower is over, you will need someone to assist Tatiana and Jenny, but… … I hadn’t even thought about it that far in the first place.
Priscilla said while Lennok thought so and managed his expression.
“I don’t know if you know, but the owner of the newly built tower is a wizard called Kyeonro.”
“… … Have you heard any rumors about him?”
“yes. Rumor has it that he is a very cruel and cold-hearted person… … .”
“… … .”
Having said that, Priscilla’s complexion turned slightly pale, and Lennok also kept his mouth shut.
Priscilla forced herself to cheer up.
“It’s okay though. I heard that he doesn’t have major accidents these days, and he’s in so much pain that he doesn’t even have the energy to care.”
“Um… … .”
Although I had a series of accidents not too long ago. It’s not that painful, though.
In the first place, the rumor itself was a strange nonsense that Lennok didn’t like at all.
“… … It’s a bad habit to judge everything based on hearsay.”
Priscilla’s face brightened slightly as Lennok cleared his throat as he answered.
“Yes?”
“what… … If you actually meet him, he might be a kinder and more polite person than you think.”
[…] … .]
[Couple?]
Darby’s bewildered gaze and the hairball spirit who cries while lying down next to her.
Lennok neatly ignored the reaction.
“Of course, I think Priscilla will judge well, but she must be a person with great intelligence and personality enough to build a mage tower.”
“Ah, there is a part where I decided that I could apply for the tower in that area.”
“What is it?”
“My sister had been shouting against the association everywhere. But since I said I would apply for the Mage Tower… … .”
Priscilla laughed.
“After thinking about it for a while, he said he would try his best.”
“… … .”
“Why is my sister saying that she will use her strength because she has connections to the Mage Tower? Isn’t she really bluffing?”
“… … Yes.”
Lennok replied with a smile.
“I’m really curious as to what you were thinking when you said that.”
