Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 870
The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 870
The Eye that Sees Destiny (6)
The shape of a barcode blinking like a flash on Lennok’s wrist.
Keyee!!
However, it does not actually settle on the wrist, but only flutters vaguely back and forth across the skin.
A brilliance that flashes dangerously as if it would disappear at any moment in the air. Access to Area 19 extracted from Clifton’s body.
Now, it is a strange situation that a biological code that does not exist in any tangible or intangible form is trying to inhabit Lennok, not Lapis.
As everyone came to a halt in an unexpected situation, Geisel, who was the first to come to his senses, shouted.
“Catch the wizard!! If things continue like this, your authority will disappear!!”
“Wait a minute Geisel!”
Mayer shouted, tapping his wand rapidly.
“It is impossible as the biological code is not properly embedded. “If capacity were allowed, that wouldn’t have happened!”
“That’s nonsense. No matter what happens, we have to save that thing!”
Geisel urgently came to Lennok’s side and quickly scanned the surroundings.
Geisel, who was urgently touching the medical equipment placed throughout the hospital room, shouted at the medical staff who were watching.
“Pattern preservation device, particle isolation observation device, biological code incubator!! Anything is fine, so bring a device that can capture the biometric code. right now!!”
[Ah, I understand…!!]
While several medical staff were running out of the hospital room, Geisel grabbed Lennok’s hand and lifted it into the air.
“Your body cannot accept the access biometric code. It’s a lack of natural capacity, whether it’s magical power or body. “I’ve seen cases like this a few times.”
Are you misunderstanding the fact that Lennok denied access due to resistance to targeting?
Geisel seemed to have seen several cases like this where the biometric code was not properly inherited.
The old man holding Lennok’s arm said.
“I’ll give you time, so no matter what happens here, empty your capacity. “I will be there to help you!”
“No, there is no need.”
“Okay then let’s start right away- what?”
Geisel, who was about to move as soon as he heard Lennok’s answer, suddenly turned his gaze away.
Ignoring Geisel, who was staring at him with burning eyes, Lennok silently looked at the shape of the barcode hovering over his wrist.
‘Access rights to closed area 19. Is that also access data that exists as a biometric code?’
Area 19 is a closed area designated in the early days of the Balkans and is one of the prohibited areas with different security and risks from other closed areas.
Lennok was previously granted access to a closed area to solve problems in Area 25, but now Area 19’s biometric code does not respond to him.
This is probably evidence that the authority that exists between the two areas exists in a completely different way.
‘If you think about the method the key keeper did back then…’
How Lucinder of the Senate’s key keeper, the Colossus, delivered the biometric code to Lennok.
After thinking for a moment, Lennok looked at the brilliance of the barcode and suddenly rubbed it on Lapis’ wrist.
“Hey there… Evan.”
Lapis looked embarrassed and stuttered, but quietly let Lennok’s wrist move.
But Lennok rubbed the shine of the barcode on Lapis’ wrist a few more times and shook his head.
“That won’t work. “It is not a code that can be physically transmitted in the first place.”
“So you said no!!”
“You’ve been making noise since a while ago. “I just want to make sure the situation is clear.”
When Geisel, unable to bear his frustration, pressed on, Lennok looked back at him with a cold gaze.
“If I receive this instead of Lapis and inherit the authority, what will happen to the deal between the Blue Eyes and the City Council?”
“That…”
“It would have been a prerequisite for Lapis to fully inherit Clifton’s access to the closed area.”
“….”
The reason why Lennok refused to inherit access rights to District 19 despite knowing that he had changed did not lie elsewhere.
This moment itself is part of the deal made between Lapis and the Balkan City Council.
Lennok was thinking about the possibility that a problem would arise in the transaction itself the moment Lennoc intervened and intercepted it.
Geisel also seemed to have immediately understood Lennok’s words and fell silent for a moment, looking speechless.
Lennok waved his hand leisurely as he watched.
“Even if the subject of transfer of authority changes, will there be any problems with the existing agreement? “I need to get a confirmation right here.”
“You’re crazy… It’s the most dangerous and valuable data code in the city.”
Geisel said, unable to hide his shocked reaction.
“Are you going to make a new deal with the city council at this point?”
“It’s none of my business.”
Even as a member of the class, I have never cared about the city council members, so I wonder if I am a person with no ties to the Balkans.
For the immediate purpose, Lennok was even thinking of turning this entire ward upside down.
“It would be better to answer quickly before the biometric code disappears.”
Lennok said, shaking his wrist lightly.
The bright yellow barcode light moves slowly, as if biting its tail, following a light hand gesture.
Meanwhile, Mayer, who had closed his mouth and was lost in thought, answered.
“Perhaps… there is a high possibility that the entire contents of the existing agreement will be canceled.”
“Senator Mayer!”
“Calm down Geisel. Do you think you can hide something from that wizard now?”
Geisel looked away in confusion, but Mayer remained calm.
“The author did not waver for a moment when he inherited access rights. “They already made the decision while we were all panicking.”
“…!!”
“Maybe he’s even thinking about killing all the witnesses right here.”
Lennok burst into laughter as Mayer pointed out the point precisely.
This is because, after seeing his face for the first time in a long time, he realized that the old lawmaker still maintained the sharp judgment that Lennok remembered.
In reality, he had no intention of killing Mayer, but it is also true that the guess itself was not completely wrong.
Geisel’s cheek twitched as he realized that Mayer was not wrong in response to Lennok’s reaction.
“This… this is what happened….”
“Did you say Evan?”
Mayer said, smiling at Lennok.
“That’s a good name. “A very famous genius in this city also has the same name.”
“….”
“You couldn’t have expected this situation, but the judgment you made in that short period of time to think about your employer’s dealings was really sharp.”
Hearing those words, he felt Lapis glance in his direction, but Lennok ignored it.
“That’s about it for putting on a show.”
“It is as you think. “At the point when access rights are not transferred to the lighthouse keeper, the city council will consider the contract invalid and try to cancel it.”
Mayer, not noticing such a reaction, nodded.
“But you can understand. It took so long to even reach an agreement to transfer access rights to the lighthouse keeper, who leads the Blue Eye and is a blood relative of the Ascendant. Do you think the city council will be able to accept the result of handing over access rights to an unofficial wizard who came from nowhere?”
“….”
“But here, there is only one compromise that will satisfy both sides.”
“What do you mean?”
“How about just covering this up and moving on?”
As soon as I heard Mayer’s words, there was silence in the hospital room.
“I and Geisel will report to the higher-ups that the access rights to the closed area have been properly transferred to the lighthouse keeper. In return, you will inherit access and be told what Clifton’s fate was.”
“You’re saying that we should just pretend that the work was successful and then bury it.”
“Think about it carefully. Here, it is not good news for anyone if the biometric code of access rights is lost without any meaning. “From the moment that happens, the option of burying this situation and moving on becomes impossible.”
Anyway, Mayer also glanced and spoke as if he was concerned about the biometric code that had not yet resided in Lennok’s body.
“Isn’t the reason Lord Falseer wanted access because he had business in Area 19? If things continue like this, the Blue Eyes will also not yield any harvest. “Isn’t that right?”
“….”
Mayer’s skillful speaking style made it seem as if he was talking to Lapis.
However, Lapis did not show much of a reaction to Mayer’s suggestion.
He just stood up weakly, looking tired, and shook his head while being supported by Patisia.
“I have no right to say anything about authority that did not come to me in a complete way.”
“…Lord Falseer?”
“I will leave it to Evan’s decision. Even if the deal ends here, I can accept it.”
The head of the Blue Eye declares that he will entrust the direction of the agreement between cities to a single wizard.
Only then did Geisel turn his gaze with an expression that seemed to have realized something.
“…You weren’t just a bodyguard. “Who is this wizard that the lighthouse keeper trusts so much?”
“….”
Instead of answering, Lennok made eye contact with Lapis without saying a word.
Lapis’ light blue eyes did not waver at all as they made eye contact.
“…good.”
Lennok lightly raised his hand, increased his magic power, and covered his wrist with his other hand.
Wooooow!!!
At that moment, a huge amount of magical power burst out and swirled around Lennok’s hand, as if it would explode the hospital room.
Geisel and Mayer’s complexions changed dramatically due to the enormous output that made every corner of their hearts sad.
“It wasn’t that it wasn’t succeeded because there wasn’t enough capacity. “Did they just use force to stop it?”
“How strong is your will to do something like this…!!”
Kiiiiing…!!
The shape of a barcode engraved with a faint light on the skin of the wrist.
Lennok awkwardly smoothed his wrist as it felt like it was actually weighing down on his skin.
The access authority previously given to enter Area 25. This is because the feeling of being overwritten over the original biological code was very awkward.
‘It’s a biometric code for access rights… of course.’
Why was access to the closed area passed to Lennok and not Lapis?
There are so many reasons and guesses that come to mind that it’s almost impossible to count them.
Did the access to another closed area that was previously granted during the Area 25 incident respond well?
Could it be that the qualifications for priesthood received from a priest were taken out of the body of Apostle Clifton?
Or maybe Jindun’s barrier technique has corrupted the biometric code of access rights and made it belong to him?
Although they are all persuasive enough to seriously consider, they are just speculations that are difficult to determine right away.
No, considering that Clifton had the body of an apostle, could he possibly be one of the apostles that Lennok had killed? At
that moment, Geisel muttered as if something occurred to him.
“The art of stopping the biometric code transfer process and the overwhelming allowable output… It’s a concept higher than simple force.”
“….”
Geisel narrowed his eyes strangely and muttered quietly as if reliving a memory.
“I remember hearing it before. There is a rumor that there is a very talented magician among the helpers in the Blue Eyes-”
“It has been decided.”
After interrupting Geisel, Mayer stood up, winking at Lennok.
Mayer said slowly, looking somewhat relieved as he stared at the biometric code imprinted on Lennok’s wrist.
“False language skills and wizard. I’m very fortunate that both sides can communicate well. “It almost caused something big.”
“….”
“Then, Lord Palsier. “Finally, will you tell me what you saw in Representative Clifton’s fate?”
“…I will fulfill my promise as scheduled. “But is this person’s fate really that important?”
Unlike the first time, Lapis’s way of referring to Clifton had become quite sharp.
Mayer seemed to have felt that too and looked back at her with a bit of surprise.
“I guess I saw something.”
“….”
“Well, now that things have come to this, I think I need some explanation on this part as well.”
Mayer looked back at the bed where Clifton, whose morale was still flowing, lay down, and shrugged his shoulders.
“There are many powerful people in this city who dreamed of an eternal life that did not fit the bill and fell into ruin. Among them, there is a trumpeter who became one with the Tree of Fortune and a fool who turned himself into a spirit and tried to escape to the spirit world.”
“….”
Would it be an illusion if you thought you knew who both of those cases were?
Mayer continued his explanation while looking at Lennok, who made an effort to raise his gaze.
“However, regarding Senator Lamonte Clifton’s remarks, there are many people within Congress who are curious about the progress of the statement. “This is not only because he is a pioneer among those in power who have similarly fallen into decline, but also because he is the one who has gone through the most trials and errors to change his own essence.”
“….”
“As Evan mentioned earlier, this person obtained the body of an apostle even though he did not believe in the doctrine. Although it failed, I once forcibly implanted over a thousand types of biometric codes into my body on behalf of Lucinder of the Senate.”
Mayer spoke again.
“In the process, it was ultimately proven that the human species cannot take on an ignorant role like the key keeper… but the conclusion is the same. “He is still alive even though he continues to inject something into his body that is not allowed in the human body.”
Mayer turned his gaze towards Lapis.
“Aren’t you curious about what really exists at the end?”
“Why are city council members curious about this man’s words?”
“Because everyone wants to know where the worst lies.”
Mayer laughed.
“It is the instinct of life to dream of eternal life and existence. But to find out how much you should pursue it so that you don’t suffer when you fail, you have to look at examples of similar failures.”
“….”
Lapis quietly lowered her head with an unreadable expression.
“They sacrificed so many people.”
A calm voice came out from between the flowing blue hair.
“The number and scale of human sacrifices committed by this person are no longer at a level that can be explained by human principles.”
“I guess so.”
The fact that Clifton obtained the body of an apostle without believing in the doctrine is evidence that he became an apostle through the apostle selection ceremony.
The human lives sacrificed in the process must have been enormous.
“The situation will be no different for other senators who dream of eternal life. “I told you that…”
Lapis said with dark eyes.
“I despise it.”
“….”
A cold silence fell.
Lapis looked around quietly and said.
“Lamonte Clifton’s inner self echoes with madness and chaos that are not human. “The curse on his body acts as a shackle that prevents the chaos from blooming.”
“That’s…”
“If we bring in a very good interpreter or magician, we can improve the condition, but what wakes up here will not be human.”
Lapis’ gaze toward Clifton turned cold.
“It must be a clumsy imitation that cannot even properly download the power of the ocean, so it holds an empty bowl and begs for life. “I think this person should be killed right now.”
Has Lapis ever made such a strong statement about someone?
Even when his life was in danger, he was a person who did not utter a single curse, let alone show his nerves.
While Lennok and Patisia looked back at Lapis with an expression of surprise, Mayer shook his head as if he was troubled.
“I’m sorry, but that’s going to be difficult.”
“….”
“I also respect the existence of a lighthouse keeper and his great duty. However, this person no longer has an independent life, but is an asset of the city council that must be managed without loss.”
“What if this guy wakes up and slaughters tens of thousands of citizens and turns them into his own people?”
Mayer smiled bitterly at Lapis’ cold question.
“Such potential hazards are like stars in the night sky in this city.”
“….”
“I will be grateful for Lord Palsier’s concern for the citizens. However, it is the responsibility of the Central Council to manage and operate the Balkans stably.”
Mayer answered as if cutting off Lapis’ suggestion.
“I would like to thank the lighthouse keeper for his dedication and cooperation. “I will personally see you off on the way.”
Lapis didn’t answer those words.
He just stared at Mayer with a cold gaze, sighed, and nodded.
“There are many excellent people in the Balkan City Council.”
“….”
“I was rude. “Then I will ask you a favor.”
Although Lapis was angry when she caught a glimpse of Clifton’s past atrocities and words, she was not young enough to know that Mayer was at fault.
He quickly calmed down his excitement after realizing that everything Mayer said was just a way to incur Lapis’s anger.
Mayer smiled bitterly and said to Lennok as Lapis left the hospital room first, as if she didn’t want to see him anymore.
“It is truly incredible that someone of that age possesses innocence and composure at the same time.”
“….”
“If someone should shoulder the mission of lighting the lighthouse for the entire continent, it would have to be someone like that.”
Well, Lennok didn’t think Lapis was a superhuman born with that kind of disposition.
He is a person who is more attentive and more solid than he appears on the outside, but that talent is not inherited, but created.
The saying that a place makes a person is never wrong, at least when it comes to Lapis.
Knowing this, wasn’t Lennoc also constantly watching Lapis as an enemy in his eyes?
Mayer tapped his cane and nodded towards Lennok, who was silent.
“I have finished reporting to the superiors. “A representative will now arrive to guide you to District 19.”
I pass through a hallway lined with all kinds of strange amulets and stand in front of an elevator.
However, even after Mayer got back into the elevator, he did not press the button to go to the first floor.
Instead, I just took out a strangely twisted key from my pocket and inserted it under the elevator button.
click!!
At the same time, the lock on the bottom of the instrument panel was unlocked, revealing a new button.
When I naturally pressed the button, the elevator began to rise at a speed that was incomparable to before.
Whoa!!
The speed of the elevator became crazy fast, and soon I felt a floating sensation, as if my body was lightly floating.
“This is…”
“Did you notice?”
Lennok, who felt a strong sense of discomfort from that strange feeling of floating, frowned, and Mayer smiled faintly.
It seems that Lennok was impressed by the fact that he had seen through the VIP ward’s coordinate superimposition technology before arriving at the hospital room.
Because of Mayer’s personality of showing strong favor towards talented people, there is no doubt that he became interested in Evan due to that incident.
Would that have been helpful in getting over the incident over access rights without incident?
Lennok, who had thought about it up to that point, answered.
“It’s a technology that’s not strange even if it’s in a military facility rather than a hospital. “When did you get your hands on something like this?”
A small-scale spatial transition that unfolds by skipping multiple overlapping coordinates divided by stairs at once.
Is this a way to apply spatial coordinate overlapping technology to jump to a place that is not originally divided into floors of the ward?
Converting the amount of horsepower consumed into money would be extremely inefficient, but it is even more surprising that it was implemented in this way.
Mayer answered, leaning against the wall holding a cane.
“By now, news of the lighthouse keeper’s visit to the Balkans must have started to spread. “I wasn’t the type to carefully hide my route.”
“….”
“Those who covet Lord Palseer’s abilities and status will also flock like a cloud.”
“So, are you going to use the ward’s spatial coordinate overlay technology to get away?”
“The city council has a frightening lack of prejudice against technology like this.”
Mayer answered with his eyes closed.
“Although they are intoxicated with the glory of the past and the smell of blood, they are very active in embracing new civilizations and technologies. And the one standing at the forefront is-”
Tiring!!
At that moment, the elevator door opened, arriving at a new floor of a ward that did not exist.
What you see beyond the door is a completely different scene from the first floor lobby and the gloomy, talisman-filled hallway you passed by.
[Ah, Lapis Palsier. [It has finally arrived.]
A vast hangar where a huge spaceship is displayed.
In the center, a middle-aged woman with an iron mask covering the lower part of her face was smiling as she looked down at the elevator.
[It was much later than Mayer promised, so I was wondering if I should intervene here.]
“…And you?”
[Aha, you don’t know my face, right?]
The woman who clapped as if she had finally realized it bowed with an exaggerated gesture.
A suit that perfectly fits a tall physique. A lapel-gold brooch shines on the chest. All kinds of rare artifacts sparkling on your wrist.
An artificially created, mechanical voice came out from behind the mask where the mouth could not be seen.
[My name is Amy Weinston, and I am the mayor of the first administrative department of the city government. It is nice to meet the lighthouse keeper.]
“Vice mayor…?”
The position of mayor is shrouded in mystery even within the Balkan city government.
Does this mean that the person with the second-highest administrative authority on his behalf was waiting for Lapis here?
[This is the first waypoint to enter Area 19. After completing a brief inspection in front of here, you will enter the closed area right away.] At the same time that Amy lightly gestured, the lights on the
spaceship behind her began to turn on.
Ugh!!!
All control systems and propulsion equipment light up, ignition begins between rocket propellants, and the air trembles.
Amy’s relaxed voice could be heard clearly even in the loud noise that echoed throughout the hangar.
[To celebrate the establishment of a new relationship between the Blue House and the City Council, I will personally guide you to District 19.]
