Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 911

The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 911

Hearing (7)

On the way out of the venue after the hearing.

Antares pushing a wheelchair and Lennoc taking a walk around the venue with his help.

The crowd that had gathered loudly near the venue split apart with just a glance from Lennok.

I tried my best to pretend not to see him, turned my head and walked away, trying to keep at least a little glimpse of the wizard in my eyes.

Unlike when he first entered the hearing room, no one wanted to make eye contact with Lennok anymore.

“….”

An awkward and uncomfortable silence that felt like my ears were deafening.

A clumsy turning away that comes from being completely overwhelmed by just one person.

Who can believe that all those actions were carried out without any violence or coercion?

Jump and jump.

A procession of city council members and judges, who left the venue later than Lennok, continues.

Although they were clearly aware of the presence of Lennok, who still remained near the venue, they did not bother to confront him.

Avenia Stenson, the magician of Valefor Tower, who was guiding Lennok through the crowd, stopped.

“Mr. Ban. “That’s it for me.”

“Right.”

Lennok chuckled, resting his chin on the wheelchair.

What was the reason why Avenia, who had only just begun staying in the Balkans, was serving as Lennok’s guide?

Isn’t this because she was the only one among those who were afraid of unnecessary conflict during the guidance process and was willing to do this?

Even if that wasn’t the case, I didn’t think I’d forget the name of Valeport Matap, where extreme combatants gather.

“Remember the name. Good job.”

“…I’m just grateful.”

Avenia, who stopped and lowered her head, hesitated and spoke.

“Is it okay if I visit the Magic Tower when I have time in the future? “I will make sure not to disturb you.”

“Antares guarantees the excellence of the Valefor Tower.”

Lennok nodded.

“At Martop, we are always looking for excellent partner businesses. “I’ll tell the officials.”

“There are times when mercenaries are helpful.”

Avenia laughed.

“I’m glad he didn’t forget my warning. “Okay then…”

Avenia greets Lennok as neatly as she did when she first came to see him and then retreats.

Lennok, who was watching the wizard walking away, said to Antares.

“I thought they would intervene at least once, but they just watched quietly.”

“You mean Stenson?”

“It’s your story.”

“….”

Lennok asked leisurely, looking at Antares who was silent.

“So, how did you feel watching the hearing today?”

“Well, can I be honest?”

Antares laughed.

“Watching you play with the city council members during the hearing… I enjoyed it to the point where I wondered if this was okay. “It felt like I was feeling it for the first time in years.”

“….”

“Anyone who knows you would understand that there is not a single lie in what you say. I can’t understand how they can get so far out of line. “I actually respected him.”

If you were to watch the hearing from someone else’s perspective, how ironic this situation would have felt.

Antares’ feelings were not completely incomprehensible, so while Lennok smiled bitterly, he closed his eyes in satisfaction and muttered.

“You’re not wrong after all. “I don’t think I’ll be able to regret following you for just one day.”

“It’s so difficult to say it back.”

Lennok said, leaning back comfortably in his wheelchair.

He smiles as he looks at the attendants walking out of the hearing hall one by one with a listless look.

“Is it just that you can’t tell me directly because you came back from seeing the future?”

“….”

“It doesn’t matter. “Because I understand why I’m here.”

Antares said he was there to observe the hearing, but Lennok knew that the visionary was not one to spend his time entertaining himself.

Because of his wishes at the time he accepted to accompany Lennoch to the hearing.

Crucially, it was Antares’ will, not Lennok’s, that allowed Lennok to spend time without leaving the hearing room.

Shake!

At that moment, the back door of the venue opened and several boys walked out from beyond the door.

Young boys dressed in old-fashioned robes.

They looked to be no older than ten years old at most, and they were the ones carrying the stone tablet for Lennok to swear in the Judgment Code.

“…!!”

The boys walk out, talking quietly among themselves, and are startled when they see Lennok beyond the back door.

They probably also know what Lennok told people at the hearing.

I don’t try to show it, but I can’t pretend I didn’t see it, so I pass by with a light silent bow.

Just as the cowering boys hesitantly passed by Lennok and were about to leave.

Lennok opened his mouth to the blonde boy standing at the back of the line.

“It seems like I’ve been waiting for quite a while. Are you planning on leaving without saying goodbye?”

“yes yes?”

The young-faced boy stopped in place and looked back at Lennok with a puzzled expression.

His shoulders were shaking with fear and he couldn’t even think of hiding the goosebumps that appeared on the back of his neck.

The age difference between the boy and Lennok appears to be more than ten years.

Considering the two people’s positions, it would seem strange for a conversation to even take place.

However, even though Lennok knew this, he lightly waved his hand at the boy who was frozen in place.

“Avenia Stenson warned Antares not to use his foresight as he pleases.”

“Hey, I don’t know what that means…!!”

Whoop!!

Lennok whispered, bringing the young boy in front of him with a single wave of his hand.

“Antares, who was watching the entire hearing room the entire time, never once glanced at you.”

“….”

The warning that Conrad Heyburn delivered was not a lie.

Big city Balkan. A city-state that currently boasts the largest scale and capital on this continent.

The authority holder, who stands at the top of a super-wide living area encompassing dozens of areas, was hiding in the hearing room and watching Lennok in a way that others did not expect at all.

“A position where one can directly carry the refereeing regulations and intervene. A young age that is unlikely to be noticed by others. “A being with such strong causality that Antares had to voluntarily avoid foresight.”

Lennok asked mockingly.

“Mayor of the Balkans. “Aren’t you disguising your age as too young to be responsible for leading a huge city?”

“…Haha.”

At that moment, the boy’s expression, who had always been frightened, completely changed.

As if a completely different emotion was sprouting from deep inside. Just like another personality cracks an egg and jumps out.

As the expression that had been shrinking from fear and anxiety relaxes, an inexplicable joy oozes out of it.

“Ah… I see.”

The boy muttered softly.

The boy, who was staring at Lennok, smiled faintly.

Immediately after an alien and awkward smile that did not seem to belong to a human being turned to Lennok, the boy slowly nodded.

“You were the one Kaise was referring to.”

“…Kaysera.”

A boy who mentions that name so calmly that his previous flirtatious behavior was in vain.

Contrary to the inorganic tone of speech that does not feel human, it is a piece of very clear emotion.

As expected, the leader of this megacity is not a being bound by ordinary cause and effect or fate.

Lennok, realizing this fact, looked into the boy’s eyes and asked.

“What time period is Kaise you are talking about?”

“Do you already know that much?”

The boy laughed.

A complex reaction mixed with self-deprecation and cynicism that is not appropriate for a young person.

Would it be like this if an old monster disguised as a boy showed his emotions without hesitation?

“I’m sorry, but I can’t answer that question. The prohibition of the project is an equal bondage for everyone. “It is an oath that amounts to the art of reversing cause and effect.”

“….”

“If you don’t mind, could you let this child go at this point? It’s time to sing hymns in the cathedral. “If you are late, you will be scolded by Sister Mary.”

“It’s a hymn…”

Lennok chuckled at the boy’s calm answer.

Because those words seemed to show what the boy was thinking about this situation.

However, the reason Lennox forced himself to confront the mayor at this point was not to get an answer like this.

“I’m not asking because I’m curious why the Balkan market is still hiding instead of coming to the forefront.”

“….”

“I guess it’s because your answer is somehow tied to the fundamental reason for attending this hearing. So tell me.”

Lennok’s eyes shone coldly.

“What did you hear from Kaise?”

“Uhm, this is why I didn’t want to meet you right now…”

The boy shook his head, looking troubled.

“great. You shouldn’t mess with a monster who plays with the refereeing rules. Instead, all I can say is how to obtain knowledge.”

“I know how to circumvent the ban.”

“The answer lies in District 19, where Vice Mayor Wainston visited.”

The boy spoke slowly.

“If your kite could reach beyond, you would understand the truth.”

Are you saying that the secret about Kaise is hidden beyond the [door] that exists in District 19?

Just as Lennok was pondering that fact, the boy shook off his collar and stood up casually.

“Actually, I originally had no intention of meeting you like this, but… after all, seers are troublesome beings. “There is no other reason for the ability to be ostracized over a long history, including Baritz’s blood relatives.”

“….”

“I feel like I want to get rid of it right away, but I don’t think there is any need to show mercy to a prophet whose outcome is already set.”

The boy smiled and turned around with those words.

“If I get a chance, I’ll see you again. Archmage. And Antares, you too.”

With those words, the boy walked away without using any of his supernatural powers.

He adjusted the strap of his bag and innocently waved his hand to the group waiting for him from afar.

However, neither Lennok nor Antares bothered to stop or catch such a boy.

“Antares.”

Lennok spoke softly as he looked at the back of the boy walking away.

“I’m telling you because I don’t think I’ll have the chance if it’s not now.”

“….”

“I heard the story from Felix. If you meet the lighthouse keeper and observe the future, your ending will be-”

“Ban. “Don’t worry about that part.”

Antares answered with a smile.

“The only thing that can be seen with the supernormal ability of sight seeing is the future that has not yet arrived. “There is no ability to change the future that has been observed and whose outcome has been confirmed.”

“…Have you already checked?”

“Directly to Cheongyeon himself while he was alive.”

Antares answered softly.

“She didn’t like prophets, but she wanted to know if they could change the fate of humans.”

“….”

“It was a good experiment. Regardless of the results.”

Antares’ answer was gentle, but its content was not positive.

“But if Felix wants, I plan to visit Lapis Falseer.”

“Even if you know it’s no use?”

“Still, if I can ease Felix’s regret a little.”

Antares laughed.

“He is still keeping the promise he made on the pilgrimage.”

“….”

“Then I guess I should do my best.”

* * *

The hearing of the Archmage that caused an uproar throughout the Balkans.

It’s been two days since the hearing in which the city’s most terrifying wizard personally announced his appearance.

[Here is a wizard who says he kills people with great difficulty.]

[Does this man truly believe that he has committed a deliberate act of destruction?]

But all the media outlets in the Balkans have been pondering and highlighting what Lennok said for days. They were busy talking.

[The words spoken by the archmage Lightning Ban, who rules District 49, at the hearing are becoming a hot topic…] [

In the network and SNS trend rankings, the phrase has been at the top of the charts for several days…]

[Hundreds of people All walks of life are criticizing the outrageous remarks made by the wizard who killed a superhuman -]

[Even though the full hearing was not made public, the viewer ratings of the broadcast exceeded a record number -]

“… This is truly astounding.”

The magic tower of fastness.

Felix, who was sitting in the hallway inside the tower reading a newspaper, sighed in bewilderment.

Felix said as he glanced at Lennok, who was squatting in front of the inner wall hallway of the upper floor.

“What is different about the Archmage who can cover all the media in the Balkans with just one word?”

“….”

Lennok showed no response and was absorbed in fixing the magic circuit inside the hallway.

Felix, who was tapping the newspaper with his arms crossed, asked.

“I’m just saying this just in case, but you probably didn’t do it on purpose, right?”

“…No way.”

Lennok shook his hands and stood up.

In the hallway magic circuit that emits blue light, pure white magic, different from before, is flowing mixed together.

Lennok said, straightening his back and frowning.

“If you ask me, it was my mistake.”

“mistake? “Did you know you could even make a mistake?”

“…I don’t know what you think of me.”

Lennok said with a wry smile.

“I just sympathized with what I heard from someone and thought it was an appropriate answer.”

“Is that an appropriate answer?”

“Yeah, I thought so at the time…”

Lennok, who was thinking while rubbing his chin, nodded slowly.

“When I think about it, I think I didn’t think any different from other people back then. “I didn’t take that into account.”

“….”

Felix, who was looking down at Lennok with an indescribable emotion, let out a sigh as his bird’s head sank.

“I heard from Jenny earlier that you are being called all kinds of ridiculous nicknames on the deep web.”

“….”

“The immortal archmage, the life-disregarding magic tower lord, the human-loving dog, and all kinds of other strange names…”

“Do you really need to explain that to me?”

He turned his back on Felix, who didn’t know if he wanted to criticize Lennok or make fun of his new nickname.

“Anyway, it’s almost finished, so just wait a moment. “All you have to do is add mass magic to the magic circuit.”

I didn’t call Felix and make him wait for a long time for no reason.

However, as I focused on renovating the Magic Tower’s facilities and giving new abilities whenever I had time, the schedule did not fit.

Among them, what Lennok was doing now was the task of granting the tower’s mass magic, which had been postponed for quite some time.

Hermes Orochnier, Ascendant War Agent of the Old World.

His power, which used mass magic to wage war alone, is so high-level that even Lennok cannot easily handle it.

A transcendental technique so outstanding that it not only qualified for ascension, but also sent its own answer to the next world.

Only now was it possible to assimilate such a complex, complex, and fuel-efficient mass technique into the tower’s system.

This was possible because Lennok’s maximum horsepower increased and he was able to handle the extremely poor fuel efficiency of mass magic.

Absorbing the magic power of the open sea and increasing his magic power was a coincidence that occurred in the process of helping Lapis, but

as a result, the significant increase in magic power itself was a huge benefit to Lennok.

If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to imagine revamping all the systems of the Magic Tower as they are now.

Lennok, who wiped the soot off his face with his shirt sleeve, shook the magic control device he was holding and said.

“All that remains is to reconnect all of the tower’s horsepower circuits to the engine section. “The fairy tale itself will take less than 5 minutes, so follow me.”

“…I always think about you, but you really are a person who knows something but doesn’t know it.”

Felix shook his head in astonishment, but calmly walked along with Lennok.

“Others will not believe it when they see that the Archmage, who has turned the Balkans upside down several times, is concentrating on repairing the tower like this for several days.”

“is it? “I tend to think that this work itself is fun in its own way.”

Lennok chuckled.

“It’s rare to find work where there is clear improvement and the high point of the results varies depending on my judgment. “It may seem boring, but there is something about it that stimulates a sense of accomplishment.”

“That’s another interesting answer. “Do wizards like you still have feelings like the desire for achievement?”

“yes.”

Lennok said as he headed toward the underground cavity where the tower’s engine was located.

“A long time ago, I couldn’t even figure out what kind of effort I would have to make to become stronger.”

“….”

“Now that I look back, I kind of miss the time when I didn’t choose anything, but… it’s over.”

click!!

Reconnect the magic circuit to the magic tower engine section, which directly supplies the magic power of Bonghwangjeon, and re-ignite.

A pure white intention mixes with the intense magic power shining in red and blue light and slowly begins to glow.

The engine section is actually starting to operate again for the first time since the construction of the Lightning Connector system that allows free movement throughout the tower’s area.

As the light slowly turned on, the outer and inner walls of the tower began to vibrate and shake at the same time.

Coo coo coo coo!!!

From the other side of the underground cavity of the tower, which shook violently but quickly regained stability, a large white baby dragon came running out.

[Aww…!!]

The appearance of a huge baby dragon spreading its limbs and jumping towards Lennok, probably frightened by the sight of the tower shaking back and forth.

“It is a work of giving virtual mass around the tower’s area and adjusting it so that it exists independently without being tied to the ground.”

Lennok said as he took the Guardian Spirit Beast’s chubby body and lightened it with magic.

“In the future, the goal is to ensure that the entire Magic Tower is not bound by the physical laws of the earth.”

“If it were the laws of physics on earth…?”

“I think you already guessed it.”

Lennok laughed.

“I aim to make this magic tower an aerial fortress that floats in the sky, not on the ground.”

“….”

A truly absurd idea.

However, Felix was unable to add any additional comment as the person who said that was the wizard who created the tower himself.

“The reason I called you today is not for any other reason, but because I want to ask you one thing.”

Lennok wiped the sweat from his forehead and raised his hand as he sat down between the huge engine supports.

“If you don’t check before handling deep web work, you may not have time for a while.”

“…It’s a deep web thing?”

Lennok asked, ignoring Felix’s question and taking out a tobacco candle.

“The work of Antares. “You know, right?”

“….”

“He said he wouldn’t be able to change his ending even if he borrowed Lapis’ supernormal abilities.”

Lennok said with an expressionless face.

“However, he told me that he would visit Lapis someday to keep his promise on the pilgrimage.”

“….”

“What is a pilgrimage route? Why do you guys call your trip around the continent that name?”

Lennok asked, looking at Felix who closed his eyes without saying a word.

“If Croken Asilus is with you on the journey, and you and Antares are still on the path, I think you should hear what it is.”

“That’s…”

Felix said after hesitating.

“That was our dream.”

“dream?”

“There is a secret story passed down among countless mercenaries and warriors.”

Felix smiled bitterly.

“A warrior who travels the continent and completes his own pilgrimage can attain a fate worthy of his end….” “….” “It does

not

have any special rules or forms. “I only heard that it meant the journey itself. But-”

Felix, who was looking up at the sky in silence, said.

“It is clear that this is what a forgotten ancient ritual of ascension to achieve as a warrior is called.”
