Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 791
Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine, Chapter 791
Prophet of Yoreta (5)
A papyrus that scattered golden light in front of my eyes, and an unusual phrase written on it.
An intense reverberation as if the built-in magic formula would be used on the spot.
Keying!!
A golden glow radiated from within the papyrus and climbed up his arm, enveloping Lennok.
A contradictory sensation that feels like a cozy cradle, yet feels like an infinitely exclusive foreign substance.
While trying to turn it over by touching the inside and outside at the same time, I try to preserve it by keeping it intact.
A bizarre form of intention that seems to really materialize, demanding both change and immutability from the subject of the spell.
[…] … You?]
However, instead of accepting the flow, Lennok returned the priestess’ spiritual body to the ring.
It was because he thought that there was no need for the church to tell us the true identity of the intentions spread here.
‘It’s the wine of resurrection.’
A miracle that is never allowed even in Yorta, where the living and the dead coexist.
What does it mean that Ethan Bajour, who came to Yorta before Lennok, left these things behind?
As Oliviera said, did he really succeed in overcoming his death and resurrecting himself?
Perhaps, in the process, he might have acquired a different kind of talent from Kaise.
He didn’t expect to find the records left by Ethan Bajour here, but on the other hand, Lennok was deeply convinced of this causality as well.
If this military command city was the stage he chose to overcome his own death, wouldn’t it be a better place than any other place as a cradle for the resurrected?
Thinking so, Lennok pushed away the radiance that wrapped around him and canceled the operation of the spell as it was.
As soon as I read the explanation written on the papyrus, I felt intuition that I shouldn’t use this now.
Quick!!
The shape of papyrus that loses its light and becomes quiet with a noise like glass being crushed.
Lennok shook his head as he gazed at the slowly blurring text on the papyrus.
‘It is an object that disappears after being used once. At least it’s not something I need to use now.’
An explanation of the unique internal organs consumption method written on the papyrus.
That probably means that the magic built into this papyrus is for one-time use only.
If you use this technique right away, you will be able to know what Edan’s will is like, but it is difficult to obtain a meaningful harvest.
Besides, Lennok hadn’t forgotten where it was originally hidden either.
‘The curse of metamorphosis. It was enclosed referring to the Guardian Spirit. There is also a possibility that the target of the spell is adjusted for spiritual beasts, not humans.’
Looking at the phrases Ethan left in his travelogue, he seemed to feel a sense of kinship with the curse of metamorphosis, thinking that he was in a similar situation to himself.
If he felt something for the dying guardian spirit beast due to the curse of metamorphosis and left it behind.
There is a possibility that the target of the ritual is not a human being, but is geared towards the spirit.
At least it required further research and investigation to use it properly.
While he was collecting the papyrus and putting it into his bosom, the giant who was watching from behind stuttered and asked.
“Bah, what just happened?”
“I’ve sorted out everything that happened here.”
Lennok replied.
“Now, the Guardian Spirit will never move again. The 5th basement floor of the memorial tower will be closed with this.”
“…….”
“This is the only means of transportation in the tomb, even ghosts have very bizarre tastes… … Can’t you even think of caring for the living because you don’t have a body?”
Lennok nodded as he inspected the broken elevator at the edge of the cliff.
“I guess I can use it after fixing it at least once.”
“… … Can you fix that junk?”
“Because he has a very talented body.”
The giant, who had been silent at Lennok’s insincere reply, sighed and stood up.
“It’s something that only one person can ride at a time anyway. If you’re lucky, you might be able to ride up to me. In the meantime, I need to find out if there are any surviving prisoners.”
“You take the belongings of those who are already dead?”
“… … There is no need to leave it behind.”
Seeing the gigantic muttering awkwardly, Lennok immediately got on the elevator.
“Well, thank you for saving me. Even when he called himself a prophet, I thought he was completely spoiled… … .”
Gohan looked at him and nodded.
“My name is Fisher. If I ever have to go up to the surface and meet you, then I will pay off this debt.”
“I don’t expect much.”
The giant also disappeared behind the cliff with a bitter smile, probably sympathizing with Lennok’s words.
Lennok looked at it and woke Darby, who had been sleeping in his arms all this time.
[I call it first only when it’s like this.]
Dabi grumbled, rubbing her paw on the dashboard, and the elevator started to rattle.
Woooo!!
The view of the elevator rapidly rising over the cliff in an instant.
Darby poked her head out over her robe and looked at the distant ground.
[Since the disconnected line is temporarily connected, it will be difficult to operate again without additional maintenance.]
“Poor news for the rest of us.”
That’s what he said, but he must have said that he would remain in the basement of the memorial tower because the giant also had a corner to believe in.
Perhaps he found something helpful among the dead prisoners’ bodies and belongings.
He had a rough idea of what he was about to do, but there was no reason to help or hinder him.
Memorial Tower on the 5th basement level. After dealing with the corpse of the Frost Lord, the important thing is to escape here as quickly as possible.
“Is it ground now… … .”
It was a short time for being locked up in exchange for obtaining Onion’s ship, but it was a long time considering what he had to do in Yorta.
drooling!!
“…….”
Indulging in sentimentality for a while, I felt sick to my stomach in an instant as I stood in the elevator shaking with the harsh noise.
Lennok, who took out the motion sickness medicine as naturally as breathing, stood leaning against the back of the elevator and forcibly looked into the distance.
“… … It doesn’t have much effect.”
How vast the inside of the memorial tower is, even climbing up the cliff from the 5th basement floor took a considerable amount of time.
At this rate, it would probably take about six minutes to go up the elevator.
Lennok pondered for a moment before taking out the papyrus Ethan had left behind in his arms.
It would be difficult to study the art of resurrection right now, but I knew that the papyrus with the art was also not an ordinary item.
The Papyrus Aureus I just obtained, and the Papyrus Argenteus I brought from the Cradle of Fortitude.
Isn’t the papyrus that Lennok used after charging the blinking spell surprisingly similar to the scroll Ethan left behind?
“They have similar names, but different properties. It’s a common feature of serial artifacts.”
[If you have to ask, it seems like a big difference?]
Charreureuk!!
After suspending the two papyrus side by side in the air, Lennok was finally able to discern the difference.
Argenteus radiates a brilliant silver light, and Aureus a brilliant golden light.
However, the first difference that caught my eye was in the area of the papyrus.
Unlike Argenteus, which could cover Lennok’s body when fully unfolded, Aureus left behind by Ethan was the size of a small booklet.
If the papyrus left behind by Jindun was the original itself, what Edan left behind was only a part of it.
It seemed highly likely that the remaining part of Aureus was owned by Ethan Bajur himself.
“The principle of recording and saving a spell is similar. If there was a distinction in the name, there would be a part that shows the difference… … .”
Papyrus Argenteus, which Lennok uses by charging his flash, is not something that can only store and bind spells.
The prototype of pure magical power that is less materialized than the magic formula, and the ability to leave even the will itself within the papyrus.
It was also possible to store, search, and classify the recorded abilities by dividing them into categories.
However, if Argenteus and Aureus had the same ability, they wouldn’t have bothered to call each other by name.
“Is it characteristic that it can be subdivided and used separately? It’s too depersonalized for something like that.”
[I’ve been studying for a long time to put blink magic into silver paper in the past, right?]
Darby said with a yawn.
[If necessary, shall we make a chart so that it can be compared with the gold paper?]
“… … Ethan Bajour is the one who left behind these relics just because the curse of metamorphosis was similar to his own.”
Lennok was lost in thought, forgetting the vibration of the rattling elevator.
“It’s like the fact that you set your name as the starting word of papyrus, and I think it’s probably because you’re extremely obsessed with things or relationships that are related to you.”
[Master has never seen that organism in person.]
“So you’re imagining it.”
Lennok answered and rummaged in his arms.
“Items related to Ethan Bajour. Or something he was interested in during his lifetime… … .”
click!!
Lennok looked at it, taking out a necklace that glowed with transparent light from within.
It was once a scalpel personally given to Jordan as a gift, and it was actually a seal bearing the name of the Ascendant Zen.
And Kaise’s memento, which Edan was the only one interested in.
The moment when Lennok, who was worried, brought it slowly to the golden Aureus.
Kiririk!!
On top of the empty papyrus, several writings began to appear at high speed.
=The cliff located at the exit of the 5th basement level of the memorial tower is not connected to the upper level of the tower, but to the lower level outside the tower.
= Unlike the basement of the memorial tower, which was left unattended in the requiem, it is recommended to enter the upper level of the tower through the outer stairs.
=This cliff is an unintended environment even inside Yorta, and it is said that it is the result of a fight between three demons and a change in the terrain.
[I just know what to write.]
Dabi, not knowing the details, tilted her head.
[But this feels similar to the unpleasant notebook that Master got from a vampire in the past, doesn’t it?]
“okay. It seems certain that he made a ghost record by referring to the blood record.”
Lennok nodded.
Several phrases rise above the papyrus. The answer in its flow and cursive form.
A recording device that records and updates information via blood, given to Lennox by Madame. It was because it looked similar to the Blood Rage Jable.
“I know for sure with this. Ethan Bajour didn’t just leave the records of his ghost experiences unattended.”
Lennok said, picking up a piece of papyrus.
“After I finished my journey in Yoreta, I gathered the records I left behind and put them all together in this papyrus.”
As much as he said he likes to record himself, did he organize the various knowledge he found out here and leave it in this papyrus again?
Ethan was able to read the papyrus designed for himself, probably because Lennok knew so much about Kaise’s past.
“The record itself is something I’ve never seen before. Is it randomly picking up records about objects related to the surroundings?”
[If you measure the closeness of pairing surrounding objects with related search words, it is almost at a level close to artificial intelligence.]
Darby looked at the words without saying a word, then suddenly said,
[If you learn a little bit, it would be possible to pick and choose the search word you want from the surroundings of the target?]
“Please, please.”
Rumble, Rumble!!
Before I knew it, the elevator had almost reached the edge of the cliff and was swaying dangerously as if it would fall at any moment.
thud!!
The elevator did not go all the way to the end of the cliff, but stopped vaguely at the bottom of the edge.
Darby, holding a piece of papyrus in her arms and beating it with her tail, held it out to Lennok.
[master. It’s done.]
“already?”
[As long as you accumulate a large amount of data and forcibly learn commands, you can do these outdated artifacts.]
Darby replied as if it was nothing.
[It’s easier to intervene by mimicking the principle of the Blood Scribe.]
“… … Have you been deliberately not calling your name properly?”
[By the way, where are you going to use it after adjusting the function like this?]
Darby, who turned around casually, asked.
[Looking at it now, this scroll is strangely mixing up useless information, doesn’t it?]
“…….”
Darby’s words were not completely wrong.
It was because the words that popped up on the papyrus were explaining the history of Yorta for a long time.
=Before the memorial tower was built as a result of Mangwiya’s travels, it is said that only corpses were full of corpses under the headlane river.
=The fact that this city that deals with both spirit and flesh was full of death is personally interesting… … .
Apart from researching and recording this and that information, in a way, useless sentiments are mixed indiscriminately.
It is only natural that Darby, the brain spirit, does not give a good evaluation of this kind of record.
However, Lennok had an intuition that the value of this record was enormous.
“Ethan Bajour is a resurrected person who traveled all over Yorta and directly entered the darkness.”
Grabbing the papyrus, he immediately extended the magician upward.
Lennok, who climbed up the cliff in an instant, smiled as he looked into the ghost notes.
“If such a genie left a record, wouldn’t he know better than anyone what to do when looking around this city?”
* * *
The military command city of Yorta. The outer circulation route of the memorial tower.
lower level. The designated living area of the ten demons.
A mighty river in the dimly lit Lower Level of the Haunted City.
A downtown area built on the banks of the Headlane River, which runs through the entire city.
In the living quarters where outsiders pass through checkpoints to visit, a man wearing a black robe was standing.
“…….”
A very quiet and dark atmosphere.
Passers-by occasionally glance at the unusual outfit, but they quickly lose interest and pass by.
Aside from the fact that Yorta is a closed city, it is because there are not one or two people walking around dressed like that.
In this city where the living and the dead coexist, many people want to hide their identities.
However, Lennok did not pay attention to the gazes of those around him and concentrated on reading the scroll he was holding.
[You.]
The priestess looked around while standing behind Lennok.
[If this continues, won’t you be caught again soon and escorted to prison?]
“…….”
[I don’t know what you found in the tomb of the Frost Lord, but I thought as I moved-]
“found.”
[…] … yes?]
Leaving behind the divine woman’s reflection, the writings of the travelogue quickly emerge on top of the scroll.
= In order to get out of the stairs once assigned to Yorta, a complicated procedure is required.
=Most of them are related to ritual objects or night travel, so it is difficult for outsiders to pass through them.
=However, if the traveler is assigned to the dock close to the floor, one expedient can be used.
Lennok, who was reading his travelogue, immediately moved toward the riverside.
The scene of the dock that became quiet after ships passed by once.
Lenok, who looked closely at the width of the river and confirmed the area, nodded and immediately raised his magic power.
“A garage like this would be enough.”
Woooooooooo!!!
At that moment, a huge shadow rose from the inside of the shadow robe with a tremendous vibration.
Cuguaguagua!!
A tremendous sense of weight that overwhelms the surroundings, and a shady fog that explodes in all directions.
At the same time, the shape of a huge ship smashes and crushes the entire dock located along the river.
Kwaaaaang!!!
The lower level of Yoreta. Screams of astonishment erupted from everywhere at the sight of the ghost ship appearing in the middle of the living area where the locals live.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaac!!”
“I-what is that!!”
“Call Yeongjeong-kun, now!!”
[…….]
Leaving the priestess at a loss for words, Lennok immediately climbed aboard the ship and placed the papyrus on the deck.
“Well then… … .”
On the papyrus lying on the deck, the words that had just come to mind were slowly fading.
= By an old law within the city, all ships must be moved to an acceptable dock.
=If the dock of the stairway presents a ship of an unacceptable size, various procedures are skipped and administrative measures are taken without fail.
=It is the fastest way to cross from the lower floors to the upper floors, so it is recommended for travelers visiting the city for the first time.
= It is an old evil law that gives trouble to the spirits of the requiem.
Lenok, who even confirmed his personal opinion left at the end of the record of his experience, muttered as he looked at the mess unfolding under the ship.
“A ghost report. Shall we check how accurate the tour guide is?”
