Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 834
The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 834: Handover
(2)
Everyone looked at Lennok’s reply with a serious expression as he spat out strange terms.
[I’ll go back when the situation gets better. don’t worry. Oh, and can I ask you to do the purchasing for me?]
“Jenny, think carefully. “Has your class ever praised someone or asked for something like this?”
Mila said with an expression that seemed at first glance fearful.
“This must be a distress call for us.”
“….”
“You’re writing nonsense about something that doesn’t work like an organism or something. “The class sent a message so that only we could recognize it.”
Manson and Soun Felix, who came with Dylan, seemed to have similar thoughts and would set out to find Lennok’s mansion at any moment.
But Jenny looked at the message blankly, sighed, and shook her head.
“It’s not a password. “The analysis has already been completed.”
“You finished the analysis?”
“okay. “When I received the reply, I didn’t really understand it either… so I called in an expert to interpret what this organism was saying…”
Jenny raised her gaze with an indescribable expression.
“They said that all they did was change all the words that refer to people to organisms.”
“…What does that mean?”
“I don’t know either.”
Jenny responded harshly.
“The possibility that comes to mind right now is that Van couldn’t reply, so he asked someone to reply? “I guess you asked a guy with a very strange way of speaking to respond.”
“That’s definitely a strange thing…”
Felix, who had been quietly listening to the story, tilted his head with his chin resting.
“Why did Ban need to ask someone else to respond in the first place? “It wasn’t a day or two that I couldn’t contact my class.”
“Didn’t your phone get stolen by someone else?”
“A level 8 archmage had his cell phone stolen?”
The others couldn’t bear to see that absurd assumption and smiled bitterly.
Stella, the vice leader of the Antares mercenary group who was watching from the side, added.
“A wizard of that caliber would have immediately disabled his phone even if it had been stolen. “There is almost no chance that it was not the person’s intention at the time the reply was received.”
“I think the fact that you responded, not the content, is important.”
Tatiana muttered, running a hand through her red hair.
“If the reply is that Ban is planning to finish his recuperation and move, it may have something to do with the recent situation.”
“Tatiana, if it were the recent events….”
“You must have been stimulated by the events that occurred in Yorta and Machina.”
The audience fell silent as they realized what Tatiana was talking about.
Jenny also nodded in agreement.
“The city council’s reaction is unusual because the Pandemonium and the big names in the religious order move at the same time. “There is a rumor that they are calling the giants in the sun and offering a deal.”
“…Ban has something to do with this situation?”
“To be precise, I think they plan to interfere with the city council’s plans in the future.”
Only after hearing the explanation did the group understand what conclusion she had come to and looked back at Jenny.
“What, then you knew everything from the beginning and never said a word to us?”
[I also thought Ban was crazy like the other wizards. Fortunately, it’s not the worst.]
“Even if you say Manson, you have to say that in front of a wizard…”
“Well, it’s not wrong.”
Tatyana calmly nodded.
“A wizard who transcends the realm is an object of respect, but he is also an unstable being. It’s not a strange idea. Just…”
“Just?”
Tatyana smiled as she received all the attention from those around her.
“If your class is really going crazy, there’s no way you’d end up sending them cute messages like this.”
“….”
The bar became quiet for a moment, as if imagining what happened next.
Because they knew well how much time and experience Lenno had gone through to become a wizard.
In the worst case scenario, if Lennok goes crazy and becomes a maniac who destroys everything around him, who can stop him?
“Maybe we should worry about the disaster that will happen to Balkan instead of Yorta and Machina…” “
There is no need to worry. “Once a problem arises with your class, you can’t help but notice it even if you don’t like it, right?”
Tatiana shook her head as she looked at her colleagues who had subtly stiffened.
“More than anything, the guardian spirit beast is in the magic tower. “If there’s a problem, he’ll notice it before we do.”
“I don’t know if I can expect anything from a guy who eats and sleeps in vain…”
“Well then, I guess I should be relieved that I sent a reply.”
“Are you going to keep waiting like this for half a year?”
“Dylan, I told you earlier. “I heard you asked for advice from an expert.”
Jenny, who was leaning back in her chair and closing her eyes at Dylan’s words, responded with a tired look.
“I found someone I can trust. “He will help us.”
“No, who on earth did you get advice from on matters related to your class-”
Click.
At that moment, the space behind Jenny seemed to become blurry for a moment, and someone lightly landed on the spot.
Shoulder-length black hair and softly shining green eyes.
He was holding a bunch of celery and chewing it while looking in this direction calmly.
However, what is most impressive is the transparent presence that does not make any sense of presence even when standing here.
“Agent…”
“This is my first time seeing this face. Who is it?”
“Why is this guy here?”
“It’s been a while, Hyeonggung.”
Jenny opened her mouth while those whose faces she did not know tilted their heads and the mercenaries who recognized her grumbled with a look of wariness.
“Iveline Marcia. “He is a superhuman from the agent’s enforcement unit and is probably the best archer in this city.”
“….”
“He is a top-level agent and veteran in the field of independent action, and when it comes to search capabilities, there are few who can match him.”
Although she doesn’t say anything, it feels like Evelyn’s shoulders are strangely raised.
With an expressionless face, there is a strange atmosphere that seems to gradually raise the gaze and the bridge of one’s nose.
Jenny said mercilessly.
“And now I’m unemployed with a lot of time on my hands.”
“…I told you not to say that.”
* * *
Even when I came to my senses, I couldn’t open my eyes.
An intense feeling of fatigue, as if something heavy was covering my face and pressing down on it.
I can only vaguely feel the soft texture of the bed on my sweaty back.
Although he wanted to go back to sleep like this, Lennok knew that he had to get up and clean up his surroundings once he came to his senses.
I fell into such a deep sleep that I lost all sense of time, so if I didn’t wake up and replenish my nutrients, I might starve to death.
Even if I fell asleep again, I had to replenish fluids and medicine and get some rest.
The moment Lennok put his hand to his face, taking full advantage of the experience of being exhausted and waking up again.
Tup.
Lennok realized that a damp towel was covering his face.
[Ah, Master. Are you awake?]
“….”
I thought something strangely heavy was pressing down on my face, but I guess it was because my face was covered with a thick towel.
Rather, it is absurd that I could not open my eyes because I mistook this sensation for fatigue.
Lennok, feeling embarrassed, put away the towel and saw Dabi floating around the bedroom.
By moving its tail, it operates several electronic devices at the same time and rolls around while playing with its mobile phone.
Lennok looked at this and inadvertently raised his hand, then frowned at the stinging sensation.
Lennok, who found an IV stuck in his forearm, looked at it blankly and asked.
“…Did you do it?”
[It was included in the emergency kit I ordered at auction. I thought it would be helpful, so I added it.]
“….”
It certainly seems like my condition has improved a bit compared to when I returned to the Balkans.
I don’t know if it’s because I slept for a long time to relieve some of the fatigue or because of the IV.
“Whew…”
With difficulty, I got up from my seat and poured water into the water bottle that was placed next to me.
While drinking several glasses of water, I lean back on the bed and stare blankly out the window.
It was already dawn when I just fell asleep, and when I woke up, sunlight was pouring in outside the window.
There is no way he woke up after half a day, so it must be assumed that he fell asleep for more than a full day.
Lennok stood up after looking out the window at the street in broad daylight for a while.
I took the medicine I had left in the kitchen in order, then took out the liquid elixir I had stored in the refrigerator and drank it.
Feeling that my brain had cleared up to some extent, I immediately took a piece of tobacco and lit it.
Lennok, sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigarette and closing his eyes, nodded in satisfaction.
“Ah… I feel better now. “I’ve been holding back for too long.”
The only thing that was dissatisfying about working as Victor was that it was difficult to smoke because he was wearing a mask.
[Do you mind if I don’t rest a little longer?]
Dabi, who had flown overhead, climbed onto Lennok’s lap and asked.
[In the meantime, I had to rest for over a month to show any signs of improvement.]
“That’s right.”
Lennog calmly agreed.
As we returned from Yorta after engaging in more hand-to-hand combat than ever before, virtually no place was sound.
Most of the shields and built-in protective equipment that had been stacked in advance and the one-time barrier technique were damaged or used up, leaving no residue, and there were
bruises at the areas where the bones were broken and muscles were torn, and the traces had not yet disappeared from the skin.
However, there was a reason why Lennok was able to get up and move, even if it was difficult.
“The power of Kashuin’s sanctuary was much more powerful than I thought. Thanks to that, my stamina recovers strangely quickly…”
A fierce battle with Do-rae, imitating the warrior’s abilities, and a desperate fight to survive against Kroken.
Although he was beaten incessantly and his entire body was broken, the power of the sanctuary left behind by the Archangel restored Lennok’s body to a large extent.
This is because the power that was raised by stimulating Kashuin with the priestly authority handed over by Seina suited Lennok’s body better than expected.
And the reason Kashuin’s sanctuary was much more effective for Lennok than expected was probably because of the failed god he served.
Lennok clearly guessed that fact, so he couldn’t be too happy about the speed of recovery.
This is evidence that Lennok is getting closer to the cult leader as the power and intent left behind by the cult leader fit into Lennok’s body.
Because that wasn’t what Lennok wanted.
Wow…!!
Lennok muttered, lightly twisting his wrist and grabbing his forearm.
“…I guess I should get some food.”
After leaving the mansion empty for a while, there were almost no edible items in the refrigerator.
A variety of medicines and nutrients, including elixirs, are stored up, but most food does not have a long shelf life.
I stopped at a nearby supermarket and purchased vegetables and other ingredients that would be easy on digestion.
The weather was so warm that even though I came out wearing only a shirt, I was sweating.
“Whoa…”
Just by walking for a short time, my body heated up and I became dizzy to the point where it was difficult to walk.
I went out saying there was no problem with moving around, but in the meantime, I felt like my condition had worsened significantly.
Without magic to support his body, Lennok’s body would be so vulnerable and defenseless.
Once again aware of the weight of the penalty, I sat down on a bench shaded by a nearby tree.
While taking a quiet breath, I look up at the street where people come and go.
All kinds of airships floating between buildings and electronic signs glowing loudly between them.
There was even an electronic display board next to the airship showing all kinds of advertisements, and Lennok muttered inadvertently.
“Did they create the anti-gravity engine for no reason?”
[master. What are you talking about now?]
If there is advancement in technology, there are side effects.
If the billboard properly pays royalties for the anti-gravity engine, there is no reason to touch it.
However, it is an undeniable fact that it makes this already crowded city look busier.
When I declared that I would build a skyway in the skies of the Balkans, I think I dreamed of a future that would be a little more majestic than this….
Full!!
The moment Lennok thought that and was about to get up from the bench.
Someone sat down on the bench next to him.
A young woman who appears to be around the same age. Lennok, who was sitting next to him, paid no attention and was busy operating the terminal he had taken out.
Lennok, who was looking in that direction without thinking, realized that the terminal in the woman’s hand looked very familiar.
A learning device that chants the public magic and public magic that was the topic of the third paper.
The learning device that Lennok announced and distributed at the Magic Tower was now in the hands of a passing citizen.
“….”
I tried not to show it, but I could still feel the gaze on me.
When I think about it, I left for Yorta right after I published my third paper, so I wasn’t able to properly check how public magic would be received.
Lennok is also very interested in what kind of repercussions his papers and research results have.
Of course, when working as Evan Bylan, I tried not to show it, but there was no reason to show it like that now.
With my poor eyesight, I squint my eyes to check the contents of the terminal.
“…?”
But the woman sitting next to Lennok seemed to take that reaction a little differently.
He glances in this direction with an expression of displeasure and then sneakily hides the terminal.
Lennok hurriedly opened his mouth as he had a feeling that something would be misunderstood if things continued like this.
“It seems like that terminal is popular these days.”
“….”
Lennoc cleared his throat at the returning cold silence, then looked away and said.
“Are other people using that equipment a lot?”
“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
The woman answered without letting down her guard.
“There is probably no one in the Balkans today who does not know about the common magic learning device.”
“….”
Realizing that he had chosen the wrong answer, Lennok immediately took out another method.
“Actually, I also recently prepared one of these.”
He casually took out the same learning device as the woman in his arms.
I was fortunate that I still had one sample left that I had taken with me when I presented my thesis.
“I’m not sure how to use it…”
“Aha, so that’s it?”
The woman’s expression brightened slightly at the sight of Lennoc clumsily tapping on the learning device on his lap.
“If you don’t mind, could you show me how to use the learning device?”
“Well, if that’s the case…”
The woman nodded as if she finally understood.
“Since the Bylon Research Institute was established, a lot of research has been done on how to use learning devices. “You may not know.”
“That’s right. “I’ve been helping out in various ways at the Bylon Research Institute, so-”
Lennok, who had been coaxing along without a soul, suddenly stopped.
“…Which lab are you talking about?”
“yes? “Of course, I’m talking about the research institute where Professor Bylon took office as director.”
“….”
“The city council directly gave a commendation and even announced it on a large scale… haven’t you heard of it?”
Apparently, while Lennok was away, the lab was completed without something very important.
