Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 270

Only five days left until the decision to pay the debt.

Lennok was walking down a busy street.

The street, which had been close to a bustle of buzzing words, became quiet for a moment every time Lennok passed by.

Lennok was not unaware of the strange gaze following him behind the moment of silence.

As soon as he became the agent of the Five Rings, he began to touch other families, and now there are people who recognize him even inside the fortress.

In this closed society, information or rumors spread quickly, and there is no way to stop it unless the leadership controls it forcefully.

An outsider who rebels against the existing order by uniting three families at once.

It was undoubtedly the most suitable subject to become a topic of public discussion.

“I heard you completely destroyed a family crest… … Is this okay?”

“What were the Oryuns thinking when they selected that wizard as their proxy… … .”

“There is not much time left before the decision to borrow. Do you believe that you can change the game by yourself?”

It’s an unpleasant look. Lennox understood that feeling.

When the confrontation between the aristocrats who ruled the fortress and outsiders was set, it was obvious that it would be difficult to receive good treatment.

It is a special area built in a megalopolis, and it is easy to be mistaken for its exotic scenery, but they are also members of the Palgoong Fortress.

He is a member of the Three Heads who reign in the shadows of the Balkans.

Dooung!!

And, Lennok had arrived in front of the family corresponding to the axis of mighty power that made Bagoong Fort the Triumvirate.

Even within the fortress, where the distance between buildings is very dense, it is a nobleman’s territory that occupies a quiet outskirts.

A huge wooden palace, lacquered in dark brown, is reflected beyond the gates with drawings of crows.

A member of the Eight Families, Samyoung (三影) is entrusted with the responsibility of protecting the outskirts of the fortress.

A great family known for being the shadow of the citadel and possessing powerful weapons that can fit within three fingers among the eight families.

Unlike Paldun and Oryun, who were ostracized from the federation due to their relatively weak influence, Samyeong was the complete opposite.

Ilwon and Yvon were also unable to coerce Samyoung recklessly because the family’s military power and position were too strong.

Among the eight families, three families are treated exceptionally well.

Sam-yeong was one of the big players located at the bottom of the three families.

Standing in front of the road leading to the Tree Palace, Lennok was lost in thought.

The wide gate, large enough for ten people to pass through at once, was firmly shut.

“… … .”

I have no intention of being polite.

The proposal that Lennok had to make to Samyoung today was not the kind of thing he would do while bowing down.

However, it bothers me to use my hands as radically as I did with Paldun.

More than anything else, Lennok had no intention of taking away Samyoung’s qualification as an agent.

However, Lennok’s troubles did not last long.

Woooo!!

As if they had been waiting for Lennok, the magnificent gate had opened wide and someone had stepped out from within.

“I was waiting.”

An elderly man with gray hair. Dressed in formal attire, he looked at Lennok and bowed his head respectfully.

“Are you Van? It is the instruction of the head of the family to bring it without delay. Please follow me.”

“… … Did you know I was coming?”

“well.”

The old man smiled sullenly.

“I just want to avoid damaging the oldest gate in this citadel.”

“… … .”

It was hard for Lennok to say anything back because of something he had done as soon as he became a deputy.

“I will guide you.”

The old man looked at Lennok’s face leisurely and turned his back.

The thick wooden doors opened, revealing the main road leading to the palace.

Awesome… … .!!

An open boulevard along the shade cast along the mighty wooden palace.

Between the wide roads, hundreds of warriors lined up with expressionless faces, paving the way for Lennok.

It proves that all of those troops are magic users and high-level warriors.

Even Lennok had seen a superhuman unit of this size only a handful of times.

The Cartel’s Execution Unit that Lennok faced earlier. It far exceeds the strength of the magic users that I felt at that time.

Originally, elite forces that would have been consumed to patrol and guard the outskirts of the fortress are gathered here as if they had promised.

Assuming the reason, I wasn’t too surprised.

It is natural for Samyoung to keep an eye on the movements of the three families at the point of gathering the agents in one place.

Rather than focusing on immediate responsibilities, there is a reason to maintain the situation in line with the movement of this side.

Rather, it was a good thing for Lennok.

If Samyoung really had no interest in the internal affairs of the citadel, he wouldn’t have treated Lennok like this.

As soon as I realized that fact, my mind changed to comfort.

“… … .”

The eyes of the soldiers twitched when they saw Lennok walking down the street with a relaxed face.

The wizard’s appearance, which was not at all intimidated by the intense magic power and momentum raised from both sides, seemed too relaxed to be faked.

And, as if representing that atmosphere, an exceptionally sharp anticipation from one side of the boulevard began to press down on Lennok.

Woo woo woo… … !!

In front of the main entrance to the palace.

A man with thick eyebrows, covered in black paint, was glaring at Lennok.

Even among the warriors of the high-level Samyoung, the density of magical power is at a different level.

If you compare only the sharpness of Jininba’s momentum, he is no match for anyone he met in Paldun.

Even for the same 8 families, is there such a difference in strength?

Considering the man’s attitude as he calmly glared at Lennok with his arms crossed, he was probably the warrior commander leading the family’s warriors.

The old man who was calmly walking along the main street hesitated and turned his head towards the man.

“Huh. How are you rude to the guest who came to visit your family?”

“… … .”

“Get the momentum right now.”

To the old man’s harsh reprimand, a man called Hyu-woon replied in a gloomy voice.

“To me, the very existence of that guest seems to be an example to the head of the household.”

“… … I beg your pardon?”

“Hasn’t the head of the family already decided not to intervene in this loan decision?”

Lennok shifted his gaze to the feet of Huu-un, who was quietly muttering.

Beneath Huewoon’s arms crossed, a shadow wriggled as if boiling.

“If so, wouldn’t there be no reason to listen to outsiders?”

As Hyuun said that, he raised his hand and at the same time, the shadows stretched out and formed a sharp spear.

Hyuun asked, aiming at Lennok’s neck while holding the spear lightly.

“If you understand, turn around and go back.”

“… … .”

“I don’t want you to meet the head of the household.”

Lennok looked at the blade of the shadow aiming at the neck, then turned his gaze away with a nonchalant face.

Then, as if he had never seen the edge of a spear, he started walking casually.

The moment when the old man and Hyu-woon frowned at the completely unexpected action.

Crunchy!!

The shadow wriggling beneath Huwun’s feet stamped his instep.

“Ugh… … !!”

The unexpected pain weakens one of Hyu-un’s legs and shakes the blade of the spear.

said Lennok, walking casually between them.

“Manipulating the shadows seems a bit daunting.

“you… … !!”

“You look tired. Wouldn’t it be better to go in and get some rest?”

“… … !!”

It is no coincidence that the word shadow came out of Lennok’s mouth.

Hyu-woon gritted his teeth after realizing that he had lost control of the shadows to a wizard he had never seen before.

“… … Take heed.”

But instead of using more strength there, he calmly took a step back and opened the way.

A warrior who uses shadow art. To the point of stealing even a part of the shadow from the person himself, how much magic manipulation ability would he have to possess?

He knew very well that to cause further disturbance here was to really violate the will of the family of the three young.

“ha… … . Hyuun. You will talk to me again later.”

The old man sighed softly and started walking again.

Unlike Paldun, who greeted Lennok in the courtyard of the mansion, the old man guided Lennok deep inside the wooden palace.

“Im here. I then… … .”

The old man said so and quietly disappeared somewhere in the hallway of the palace.

Lennok looked behind him and turned his head.

The audience room, which corresponds to the center of the palace.

On top of an armchair made from a living tree painted black, and carved from the inside.

A middle-aged man with a curious mixture of white and black hair leaned over, waiting for Lennok.

Eyes that are not sharp enough to be fierce. She has an arrogant face that matches him.

However, the density of magical energy emanating from its body was so intense that even Lennok could not ignore it.

Samyeong’s family head, Oren.

A shadow magician who is considered one of the main forces in contrast to the cartel’s president, and a reacher who completed the hierarchy.

Among the fort leaders who do not reveal themselves, their faces are relatively well-known to the outside world, and their skills are also famous.

Despite being obscure and having a stubborn disposition, the reputation inside the fort is quite good in that he does not give up on his responsibilities.

It was also the reason why he couldn’t touch the federation of the five families without bowing his head.

Lennok and Oren’s gazes turned to each other at the same time.

The two superhumans who have reached the level of Ascension begin to gauge the eye level of each other.

Can we win if we face it from the front?

‘It won’t be easy… … .’

Considering the sophistication of the magic flowing through the body, the shrewd spirit, and the sharp-edged killing, the opponent must also be a warrior who has gone through countless battles.

In addition, considering the level of the warriors under his command, it was clear that he was a warrior of a considerable level beyond simply practicing shadow art.

Even as Lennok, he is strong enough to be able to gauge the odds of winning only when he fights with all his strength.

Cartel bosses. Among them, even compared to Virgil, who is the leader, there is no flaw.

Since this kind of man guards the center of the family, he must not have said anything even in the dizzying situation inside the fort.

On the contrary, it was tantamount to saying that if Lennok could get Samyoung’s cooperation, he could easily take this matter.

Oren, who was looking down at Lennok with his head tilted crookedly, opened his mouth.

“A cheeky bastard.”

“… … .”

“With whom do you dare to reckon?”

As if Oren had noticed what Lennok was thinking of looking at him for a long time, Oren uttered sharp words.

But instead of replying to that, Lennok smiled faintly and looked up at him.

“It’s a little different from the treatment I received in Paldun. I apologize for the rudeness.”

“… … Heung, the young guy can’t stop rambling.”

It was because a smile similar to that of Lennok appeared on Oren’s lips as he said that.

“But I think I know why those idiots gave up their powers so easily. There’s no way those dull little things would have recognized your strength.”

“… … ”

“Did you say fastness? I thought it was a needlessly grand prestige, but it wasn’t necessarily that it had a good appearance and no substance.”

Beyond simply predicting his skills as a Aspect Wizard, Oren is looking further afield.

It was probably through the feet of a well-trained sense of slaughter and violence on the front line.

It must be the intuition of a warrior who trusts his own skills and judgment.

Such people, without a single exception, would either be wary of Lennok, or be kind to him.

‘It would be difficult for the heads of other families to act like this.’

Even if the prestige of the lower families is not very great, Ilwon and Ibon are those who are evaluated as having strength and power comparable to Samyeong.

It was difficult to judge the strength and wisdom of the heads of the two families as they rarely stood out in public.

However, if it had a momentum comparable to that of Oren, there would be a high possibility that the proxy war would not proceed as Lennok thought.

While deep in thought, Oren spat out sharp words one after another.

“If you have something to say, say it quickly and leave. I was so excited about what you’ve done so far that I allowed you to meet once, but if you can’t interest me, that’s it.”

Saying that, Oren’s eyes were still looking down at Lennok with interest.

“I have to check with myself how much you know about this incident and how much you want to know.”

He was an old man whose words and actions did not match at all.

Lennok smiled and looked around.

“Is that possible in a situation where there are so many listening ears?”

“That must be your ability too.”

Oren replied calmly.

“I have to say that I have absolutely nothing to regret about this incident. As long as the safety of the citadel is guaranteed, I have no interest in someone drinking rice wine.”

“It is a lie.”

As soon as he heard Oren’s words, Lennok replied like a knife.

“… … what?”

“You must be very interested in this.”

A crooked smile crept across Lennox’s lips.

At that sharp reply, Ouren hesitated, and several of the warriors lined up on either side of the throne room drew their weapons as if they had been waiting.

“This bastard!!”

“What kind of nonsense is that to the head of household!!”

“Outsiders refrain from being rude!”

Samyeong’s warriors exerted pressure from all sides with sharp momentum, but Lennok didn’t pay attention and continued.

“You must have been watching the situation knowing that there was a suspicious corner before the decision to borrow money, right?”

“… … ”

“Because you recognized that there was something behind the alliance of five families, weren’t you wasting your time instead of rushing to one side?”

“Sounds useless… … !!”

“What do you think of the tradition of Bagoong Fort!!”

The enraged warriors raised their voices in unison, but all the noise died away like a lie as Oren raised his hand.

ugh!!

A curtain of shadows pulled up from the floor instantly covered the audience room, turning it into a silent space.

“Keep talking. I wonder how far that bullshit goes.”

He declared it with a cold gaze, but if he really thought it was nonsense, would he have opened up to Lennok even while covering his eyes and ears?

It seemed that he knew roughly what the family head of Samyoung was like.

Lennok laughed.

“Information about historical sites where time passes slowly. In addition, I want the right to read the safe that Samyoung has.”

“… … what?”

“If you’re willing to pay this much as an advance payment, I’ll find the guy behind the federation. There is only one thing he can do for you.”

“… … I don’t know what nonsense you’re talking about.”

“Oryun, Yukryeong, Paldun. Lead the other three families and participate in the proxy war. There is no need to hand over your powers of attorney.”

Su-ryun and Chen, who are burdened with responsibility for the family, are out of the question from the beginning. However, it is not desirable for Lennok to be chained to the citadel.

An object that has the most appropriate cause and is easy to pass on the responsibility to.

Now that Oren’s character had been judged to some extent, this was the best choice Lennok could make.

Jigsaw… … !!

Between Lennok’s fingers stroking his wrist, a thick electric current bounced incessantly.

“Then I’ll make you a cook yourself.”
