Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 339



Only Krnovel

standard of strength (2)

The pressure wasn’t too strong for a bold action.

However, the complexion of some of those who recognized the faint flow contained in it changed dramatically.

“Wait, this mana… … !!”

All of them are Asterisk level wizards who have reached level 7. They have enough sense to clearly distinguish the existence of a magical pattern and its flow.

Now, this magic that is pressing down on the conference hall from above is a pattern that is very similar to the one that is filled with the snowy field right outside.

Lennok imitated the Ascendant’s magic pattern and scattered it throughout the meeting room.

To be precise, the magic pattern of the barrier that protected the cracks in the world in the fort.

Although it is different from the actual magic of Jindun, who has already risen to the position of ascendant, the similarity is not a skill that others can easily imitate.

At least this should be enough to prove that Lennok has some connection with the Ascendant.

“Those who claim to be watchers don’t really have trust in the lighthouse keeper.”

Lennok asked, calmly accepting the stares pouring in from all directions.

“I still don’t know why Lapis bothered to call me at this point?”

“… … ”

The vampire sitting across from the dog-headed giant, Lennok, who had been engaged in a war of nerves with Evelyn just before.

And I can see the faces of the other observers looking at me with surprised expressions at a glance.

Slowly, Lennok walked up to Lapis and put his hand on her shoulder.

“… … Evan?”

Lennok ignored Lapis’s words and continued speaking immediately.

“The reason why the lighthouse keeper called me to the summons. that’s me… … It is because I can imitate the magical power of the Ascendant Jindun to some extent.”

“… … Nonsense.”

“How is that possible?”

The spirit of Ji-L, who muttered in disbelief, was clearly broken to the extent that it could be seen at a glance.

Lennok’s magical power pressing down on her shoulder now existed as the most powerful evidence.

Lennok, who lied casually, made eye contact with Lapis and answered.

“It’s not hard to imagine how much this ability will be of great help in future operations.”

“… … .”

In fact, even Lennok had no idea how to use this power.

While killing the Assassin of Eldervine, I was just thinking about the fact that I could imitate the Ascendant’s magic pattern similarly, and came up with the current answer spontaneously.

However, it was clear that at least it was the most suitable reason to settle such a chaotic situation.

If Lapis had summoned Lennok not simply because of goodwill or dependence, but because he had a special ability that would clearly be useful in the operation.

If she recognized it early and tried to summon Lennok, wouldn’t it be enough for her insight to shine?

Not only to transfer the focus from Lennok to Lapis, but also to highlight her qualities and abilities.

In a situation where the Watchers expressed their opinions, giving them a reason like this would make them more cautious about opposing Lapis’ opinions in the future.

There must be a reason for what the lighthouse keeper does, to remind those powerful superhumans knowingly or unconsciously.

That alone was enough to give Lapis strength in this spot.

Lapis wasn’t stupid enough to kick the table Lennok had set for him either.

“If you understand enough, would you all sit down now?”

Understanding Lennok’s intentions in an instant, she looked around at the observers with a somewhat subdued look and said,

“Before time runs out, I think we should explain the situation to Evan and get into the meeting.”

“… … .”

The look of the watchers who were silent and seated in their seats.

Lapis, who lightly clapped in the center, raised her magical energy and pounded the table.

Wheein!!

Immediately after that, a dazzling hologram rose from the middle of the table and began to draw concrete shapes.

“We’ve explained it to others several times, so let’s proceed in a way that summarizes and delivers only the key parts as much as possible.”

Anatomy of a vast and vast labyrinth with no end in sight.

The moment when everyone forgot what to say for a moment due to the intense sense of intimidation felt even from the hologram image.

“The Ascendant Jindun’s ‘Hanghasa Labyrinth’. The ideological battle of the transcendent who occupied the canyon at the deepest part of the snowfield.”

Lapis quietly opened his mouth.

“We must break through that labyrinth that swallowed over thousands of explorers and contact Jindun Zaigis Ethernore.”

The youthful determination in her eyes reflected the onlookers as they were.

“If it is confirmed that Jindun has failed to ascend to heaven, it is necessary to collect his remains and prevent the legacy from being taken away by the wrongdoers… … That is the only goal of this call-up.”

Finally, the existence of Lennok who joined this operation.

It was the beginning of a full-scale operation that began with the final puzzle piece she thought of completed.

* * *

Hangha Temple.

One of the terms used to refer to a number, roughly referring to a number of about 10^52.

The scale of the number is 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

In fact, what does it mean to use a number that is impossible to even count with human cognitive ability as the name of a labyrinth?

Considering that the owner of the labyrinth is one of the world’s best-known barriers and transcendentalists, the answer was obvious.

“There are thousands of people who set foot in this snowy field to meet Jindun and never returned.”

The tip of the floating island where the cold wind blows.

Lennok, who had smoked a cigarette, and Evelyn, who was sitting on a rock behind him, were looking down several tens of meters below the ground side by side.

Evelyn glanced at Lennok’s back, who didn’t look back, then continued.

“However, some of them managed to come back alive from the labyrinth and leave behind information. That is why we suffered in this snowy field for a month.”

“Right.”

“The Hanghasa Labyrinth is usually completely sealed so that no one can enter, but every time the season changes, the structure of the labyrinth is completely overturned once. The crack that forms between them is the entrance to the labyrinth.”

“Is that why you gathered here for a month and were estimating the location to enter the Sasang War?”

Lennok muttered blankly as he turned his gaze toward the majestic snowy mountains stretching across the horizon.

“The power of a level 9 ascendant is truly beyond imagination. If a magician who uses barrier arts reaches the pinnacle, will he be able to create such ridiculous things…? … .”

Jindun’s history of thought, Hanghasa Labyrinth.

I haven’t been able to see the phase yet, but I can know it only from the magic flowing from that distant snowy mountain and the information I hear from time to time.

Not only the far-flung structure inside the labyrinth, but also a different world where time flows differently.

Completed in a completely different way from the magnetic realm, it is in fact a miracle that is no different from another world.

Perhaps that labyrinth is the essence and essence of the barrier arts accumulated by Jindun.

In effect, the Watchers gathered here have surrendered their lives to the jaws of the Ascendants and are moving to enter them.

Even though there are thousands of people who have not returned yet, there is only one reason why not only the Blue Eye but also others are moving to enter there.

“The aurora floating in the sky over the North Continent is a natural phenomenon that symbolizes that Jindun’s ego has completely melted into the entire history. The fact that it disappeared means that there is a high possibility that there is a problem with Jindun’s personal image.”

Even his own consciousness sublimated into a part of the barrier, and the aurora, a floating symbol, disappeared.

In other words, it meant that Jindun’s ego had returned to human form.

There are many meanings in the movement of the transcendent who challenges the ascension.

If he started moving at this point, where the ending was not far off, it must have been because his identity had changed.

If Jindun really failed to ascend to heaven and died, who would have the valuable relics and property he possessed?

It’s not because of the fact that you can meet the Ascendant like Lennok, but that there are many people who have gathered here because they coveted the artifact.

Lapis and Evelyn were saying that.

“I wondered where you were hiding, so the two of you were giggling in a place like this?”

A dark-skinned woman walked out of nowhere from behind Lennok, who was lost in thought, and Evelyn, who was watching him.

An unknown tattoo is engraved on her face as she shakes her shoulders slightly while holding onto an exotic coat.

A 7th-level Ascendant, a shaman who cooperated with Lennok in the Dominion of Philenom.

He was also the one who first showed Lennok the scenery of [Nammando Coast], his self-portrait.

“Grisha… … . I would have said it wasn’t that kind of relationship.”

Evelyn sighed softly and denied the words, but Grisha rather opened her eyes wide and asked again.

“No, then it’s not that kind of relationship, but I’ve been asking when Evan is coming all month… … .”

Wedge!!

Grisha’s words did not last long.

The black arrowhead, unknown when it was pulled out, was stuck right under Grisha’s feet, making her mouth shut.

“I’m from the same city, and I just contacted you because I had an assignment before I went on a business trip.”

“… … .”

Evelyn replied with a smile.

“I think I’ve said time and time again that I’m dealing with an agent-related matter.”

“okay… … .”

Lennox nodded appropriately, as he could roughly guess what Evelyn was saying.

It is said that there was a strange atmosphere in the city including the agent right before she took a vacation and headed to the North Continent, so she must have been worried about what was happening in the meantime.

In fact, as Evelyn feared, a coup d’état led by a general of the National Guard took place, so it was not strange that she waited for news from Lennok that would be helpful in the process.

Eveline glanced at Lennok and opened her mouth with a slightly relieved expression.

“So, what happened? I understand that there is some time left before we decide the number of people who will enter the labyrinth in earnest.”

“Wow, are kids these days so impatient?”

Grisha muttered as if he couldn’t get used to it, and gently opened the inside of his coat.

“I want to talk and live. If our boss leaves the world like this, we won’t hear anything good about it.”

Inside the cloak, Lapis’s face, which had been hidden slightly crouched down, was visible.

Maybe it was because of the arrow shaft stuck in her feet, but her complexion, which had yet to shed her youth, was slightly pale.

“Oh, hello… … .”

“… … You were there. are you okay?”

Evelyn, realizing her mistake, apologized to Lapis with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“… … Sure.”

Lapis laughed hard, but her legs were trembling slightly.

Lennox looked at her and smiled.

“You could just come and visit us, but why did you hide in Grisha’s arms? I couldn’t have missed it.”

Although Lapis is quite young, she is now in her mid-teens.

Naturally, her height had grown significantly compared to before, so it was a risky side to hide her figure with Grisha’s tall and thick coat.

Lapis glanced around at Lennok’s words and raised a finger with a mischievous expression.

“There is something I want to tell other watchers secretly.”

“You want to tell me?”

“yes. Please accept this in advance.”

As she said that, she took out a small telescope from within.

Lennok accepted it, somewhat bewildered.

“This is an item obtained from the belongings of an adventurer who died during the recapture of the base fifteen days ago. It was locked, so it was difficult to know what purpose it was used for. I kept it, but I found a hint right before moving the base.”

“Use it… … .”

Lennok muttered that, bringing the telescope to one eye and slowly raising his mana.

There was no change in the landscape seen through the lens, but it wasn’t long before Lennok noticed the secret of this ephemeris.

At first glance, the outer surface of the lens looks rather worn.

The finely scratched traces, like scars, were drawing very fine spell characters.

“… … .”

Lennok, whose expression had calmed down, immediately changed the magic pattern slightly and injected it through the telescope.

Immediately after that, the telescope’s lens began to rotate precisely, and a completely different landscape began to be drawn.

Kirik!!

“This… … .”

“You know?”

To Lapis’ words, Lennok replied quietly.

“Right… … . Is it something that shows the location and path according to the injected magic power?”

“yes. A telescope originally used to determine the hidden location of artifacts or relics. It is also a highly functional and durable item that was used in this Hanghasa Labyrinth.”

Lapis said that while looking at Lennok with an expectant expression.

“Others were reluctant to say anything because they thought they wouldn’t be able to use this item properly, but Evan-sama… … .”

“… … .”

It was only then that Lennok could grasp the meaning of Lapis’ words.

If it was Lennok, who could imitate the magical pattern of Ascendant Jindun, no one else, at least similarly,

He thought that he would be able to find the right path by looking at Jindun’s location even in the labyrinth where he could not guess what was ahead.

The existence of this telescope can serve as a fairly useful compass in a snowy field where magic detection does not work well.

Unexpectedly holding an artifact of considerable performance, Lennok nodded.

“I will keep it a secret from the other observers.”

“Hehehe, please. I don’t think there’s anyone other than Evan who can use it properly, but in terms of fairness… … .”

Lapis’ feelings are understandable.

As long as it is not possible to distribute the telescope equally to everyone, in this operation, it is likely that you want to place your hopes on the wizard with the most reliable and highly probable ability.

Lennok stared blankly at Lapis, then brought out a question he hadn’t asked before.

“Do you really think Jin Dun is dead?”

“… … yes?”

“No one knows if Jindun, who has lived as a transcendental being for over hundreds of years, died after failing to ascend to heaven. Maybe he is still alive and contemplating every moment now.”

“… … .”

“And if he’s alive, maybe you can go into the labyrinth and meet him and get the answer you want.”

Lapis shut his mouth.

Grisha’s expression, standing next to him, hardened slightly, but he did not stop Lennok.

Lennok didn’t care about the reaction and continued what he had been saying.

I wanted to hear what Lapis was thinking and how he felt honestly right now.

“At the time I met Cheon-Gyeon, it seemed like she had already decided her own ending.”

In order to do that, you should also consider saying some rude words.

“How did you leave your only granddaughter behind and why did you leave without telling me everything?”

“… … .”

“If you’re a Transcendentalist who tried to ascend to heaven, you must know the answer.”

Silence passed.

Lapis lowered her head slightly, and raised her gaze with a troubled smile.

“Come to think of it, this is the first time Evan-sama has talked about your grandmother first.”

Taking a breath, she met Lennok’s eyes.

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t curious. But there are many people better suited than me to break through the labyrinth.”

“… … .”

“And if Jindun really didn’t die and was watching all these moments… it might be even more dangerous.”

“Why?”

“If Jindun is alive, it means that he regained his human self through his own will and incarnated… … . If that’s the case, we definitely need to check that out and set a course for the future. If the Transcendentalist, who was immersed in his own ascension at a distance from the world, began to act differently, there is a possibility that there was a problem with the ascension itself.”

Lapis continued talking without waiting for Lennoc’s answer.

“If there is a problem with the process of escaping the hierarchy and reaching ascension itself, other ascenders may also try to move. There is no time to address personal questions when the balance of the world may be upset.”

“Lapis… … .”

Grisha quietly put his hand on her shoulder.

There was a faint pity in Evelyn’s gaze as she looked at Lapis from Lennok’s side.

Lapis smiled slightly at the two of them.

“are you okay. Now, I can understand that your grandmother must have a reason. Sometimes there are secrets that you have to carry alone… … .”

Grisha, who was standing next to her, quietly hugged Lapis.

Evelyn pushed Lennok on the shoulder and scolded him.

“Let’s not blow the candle before entering the labyrinth?”

“No, that was not my intention, but… … .”

Lennok, who muttered an excuse, straightened his expression and spoke to Lapis.

“But I think differently. If Jindun is still alive and willing to answer something, I think she has things to ask.”

Just because he’s a transcendentalist who challenges ascension, I don’t think he’ll have all the answers to everything in the world.

But even so, you have to ask. Even if I don’t hear any answer, it doesn’t matter.

It is an undeniable fact that just knowing what Jindun knows and what he doesn’t know will be of great help in his future journey.

It was scary to stand in front of a transcendent who was indifferent to the world, but at the same time I was confident.

At that time, Heavenly Dog said that unless he was an Ascendant specializing in ‘seeing’ like himself, he would not be able to figure out Lennok’s secret.

“So then, I’ll ask you questions about Cheon-Gyeon on your behalf.”

“… … yes?”

Looking at Lapis, who raised his head in surprise, Lennok smiled faintly.

“What did that person hope for when he failed to ascend to heaven… … i want to know too A lot more than you think.”

thud!

As soon as the words were finished, a strong vibration suddenly resonated from the other side of the floating island.

An area not far from the frozen forest.

Several other watchers, centered on the dog-headed giant, were approaching this direction.

A spear appeared out of nowhere and blocked the giant’s path as he strode along with black eyes.

It is Sun Seon, a young man with a calm impression. It seemed that he had been guarding Lapis from an invisible place until now.

“What’s going on? If you’re looking for Lapis-sama, I’d like you to wait a bit.”

“I’m not interested in being a lighthouse keeper. It is the wizard who has business.”

At the dog-headed giant’s words, the atmosphere around the area instantly became tense.

Seon Seon also slowly stepped back while fixing the window sill.

“… … If so, I’d like to hear more about the reason. What is your business with Evan now?”

“Hehe, I don’t think it’s something I want to talk about at a place like this.”

Saying that, the dog-headed giant turned his eyes on Lennok, who was sitting far away.

“If you like that, it’s okay to talk here… … .”

“I go.”

Lennok readily listened to this and stood up from his seat.

Standing in front of the dog-headed giant, Lennok put on a simple noise magic and looked up at the giant in front of him.

It’s not a style that spreads overwhelming momentum or size like Croken, but its ability and muscle density are not lacking compared to Felix.

Even after recognizing Evelyn’s skills in the first place, if you can raise an opinion that confronts her head-on, it must be because you are so confident in your own skills.

Lennok was also somewhat interested in the story behind how such a giant flowed into the eyes of the blue and accepted the karma of the watcher.

“name is?”

“Rappard.”

“Um, that… … .”

The word that the name fits pretty well jumped out of his throat, but Lennok managed to swallow his mistake and asked.

“so. What’s the matter? It has been more than two hours since the meeting ended. Is there anything else you want to ask?”

The description of the base and route to enter Jindun’s Sasangjeon has already been roughly finished.

All that remains is to select the number of people who will enter the labyrinth and set the individual entrance.

Unless Lappard intends to go down the same route as Lennok, he should not see Lennok.

But the dog-headed giant smiled slyly as he looked down at Lennok.

“you. Have you ever met a croken asilus?”
