Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 395

Ma’an Sang-dong (2)
Woooooo!!
A majestic resonant sound like dozens of harps resonating together.
Standing in the space where the unique melody hovered, Lenok slightly frowned.
“The noise between floors is considerable.”
[Be patient.]
Oliviera responded in a calm tone, beckoning, and in response, a magnificent gateway turned upside down appeared at the end of the floor.
Koo Goo Goo!!
She nodded in front of the strange gateway that looked upside down, and the veil shook faintly in sync with her movement.
Clap!!
Inside the gateway that turned inside out and opened, what was visible was a long, low-sloping corridor.
The quiet scenery with colorful rugs and picture frames with obscure paintings is impressive.
Oliviera said as they walked down the hallway where the warm air drifted.
[It’s the first time in ten years that I’ve had an outsider join my lab. Know with honor.]
“To glory?”
Shortly after Lennok showed her his demonic eye, Oliviera left the bar without saying a word.
Near the basement of a huge factory facility located in the basement of the street behind the cartel’s headquarters.
In the meantime, Oliviera had been taking Lennok to her secret laboratory, which she had hidden for decades.
“The location is very different from the president’s office I visited before.”
said Lennok, who followed her down the aisle.
A huge hallway hanging inside the gateway. The overturned gateway reappeared at the end. Again, the scenery of the corridor spread out in it.
You can only feel the fact that you are endlessly going down underground between the mirror-like repeated landscapes.
[This is a place used only when public affairs are needed. I try not to pay attention to the cartel’s affairs as much as possible, but it’s not like you don’t have troublesome things like you.]
Oliveira responded casually, raising her magic power.
[Sometimes things happen that the president’s name alone isn’t enough.]
Deed deed!!
At the same time as Oliviera stood at the end of the last gateway and waved her hand, the hallway the two passed through began to bend and form a huge circular loop.
At the same time as the head and tail of the elongated hallway meet to draw a ring, the ring of the diagonally connected hallway rotates like a screw.
As it is, it rotates and sinks hundreds of meters underground.
Lennok faintly exclaimed in admiration at the unique way of entering.
“All the gateways and corridors we have passed so far were the means to get to the lab. Do high-ranking magicians tend to hide their laboratories like this?”
[…] … What a strange question. Are you saying you’re just giving away your work?]
“It’s not… … .”
Shouldn’t the chairman of the cartel be able to use the space in various ways and protect his laboratory?
Lennok didn’t show off his research and work casually, but he wasn’t in the best position to keep everything as thoroughly hidden as she was.
Instead of bothering to explain the situation to her, the topic is turned to the thorough security facility that can be seen.
“It’s hard to believe that he built a facility of this size by himself.”
The clear and powerful barrier that you can feel every time you descend tens of meters below the ground.
Even Lennok, who had directly inherited Jindun’s barrier art, could clearly recognize its nobility.
Needless to say how hard she was trying to keep this place secure.
Leaning against the wall in the hallway, rubbing his ears that were weighed down by the difference in altitude, Lenok muttered.
“It is worth knowing how much wealth the chairman of the cartel has. Did you buy the entire street in one district and make it private?”
[You have to create a forest to hide a tree. I just faithfully followed the law of scale.]
“okay?”
Lennok glanced up, met Oliviera’s gaze, and smiled.
“If you put it that way, the cartel is probably the most extensive forest you have.”
[…] … .]
The reason why she, who doesn’t seem to have much interest in running the city anymore, remains the head of this huge organization.
What kind of tree did she hide in the forest called Cartel, so she is still fulfilling her duties as the president?
Both Lennox and Olivier knew they were both thinking the same thing, but they said nothing more.
Showing this laboratory now itself is a great reward for Oliviera and allowing Lennox to be generous.
It was not a very wise choice to strike a candle here just to reveal a secret.
thud!!
[You have arrived. go down.]
“I feel like I’ve descended almost thousands of meters. If the laboratory was set up in a place like this, it would be annoying to go outside… … .”
As soon as he stepped out of the wide open gateway, Lennok stopped talking.
The inside of a huge crystalline lens that is likely to be hundreds of meters in radius.
A huge book that occupies almost half of it is wide open and replaces the ground inside the lens.
On top of a huge book hundreds of times the size of an ordinary human being, on the ground made of paper, there are countless animals and plants that come alive.
Various creatures are playing in the small garden created on the page.
While Lennok stopped for words at the sight beyond common sense,
[This is an environment arbitrarily implemented to preserve the specimen in an intact state.]
Oliviera casually walked ahead of such Lennok and rang the bell.
[Unlike the initial composition, I pasted this and that, but it was unavoidable to satisfy security and performance at the same time.]
“Have you built an artificial garden deep underground like this… … It must be a very unique way.”
Lennox couldn’t hide his admiration at her words, but Oliviera walked away without even hearing his reply.
[There is nothing to see here. Go next.]
“next?”
In the middle of a huge book. Standing on the inside of the joint where both pages fold, Oliviera gestures, and the entire page of the book turns to the side with the two at the center.
Palak!!
At the same time, the scenery of the meadow around the two disappeared as if it had been washed away, revealing a completely different space.
Equipment left unattended after the experiment, all kinds of flasks and broken pieces of glass tubes, and the unknown shape of the abandoned specimens in between.
The ruins of a failed laboratory that collected garbage. Oliviera gestures again, and before Lennoc can react, a few more pages turn to reveal a different landscape.
A snowfield, a mountain of scrap metal piled up with pipes, a warehouse full of carcasses of dead animals.
Each time a page is turned, the entire space realized on it is switched, changing the landscape of the laboratory.
Only then did Lennok, who understood how Oliviera’s laboratory worked, burst into faint admiration.
“Are you remembering the space itself as a bookmark, assigning it to a page and loading it… … It’s sophisticated enough to feel surreal.”
After arbitrarily limiting the space through the circular lens, different spaces are allocated for each page based on the shape of a huge book.
It is a method of realizing a different environment by switching between different spaces by turning over the bookmarks.
“If a wizard of the highest order puts so much effort into one spatial coordinate for this long, it would be possible to obtain a sense of heterogeneity comparable to that of the realm.”
[Oh, did you notice already?]
Although it may have a different scale and level, it is not much different from other magicians’ areas of magnetism or Jindun’s Hanghasasa Labyrinth.
Oliviera Lone Maze was melting her imagery and grudges intact in this vast laboratory.
[This space is like a newly created second magnetic field for me. For magicians, the task of building their own laboratory. Even if you don’t intend it, the act of sincerity is projected to the limit to create the isolation of the space itself.]
“Did you design and implement it with the concept of saving such complicated work on the pages of a book?”
[It was inevitable to experience various environments in a limited space. Ah, this is it.]
ugh!!
As the next page turns, a new dark laboratory is revealed.
Artifacts and plants floating between countless experiment tables, glass pillars, and unknown liquids catch the eye.
Lennok opened his mouth while looking around the interior of the laboratory.
“I heard that they made various by-products in the process of researching the change in the nature of magic, but there is no trace of that.”
Did you say Mad Manson’s multiple body fitter, Iola’s Mystic Eye, or Girard’s twisted magical nature change, who belonged to the working group, were the works of such Oliviera?
Of course, I was imagining a laboratory for research enthusiasts who conducted human experiments without hesitation, but it looked much better than I thought.
[I felt the limitations decades ago and changed the direction of my research. I realized that no matter how many lives I sampled, it would be difficult to extract the results I wanted.]
She answered, raising a device that looked like a giant telescope near the laboratory with a gesture.
[The more superhumans start to build up the hierarchy, the more they start to transform into something different from the existing human species. I don’t know if it’s digging into the prohibition of human sacrifice, but there were many parts that didn’t fit the research I was thinking of.]
“… … .”
[Stop talking nonsense, let’s get back to talking about the demonic eyes. This equipment has the function of observing the human eye and recording its movement in particle units to analyze the condition.]
“For something like that, it looks very… … You look unique.”
Something resembling a living pupil wriggles between the lenses of the telescope, emitting an incomprehensible scream.
[Kieek! Kiek!!]
“What did you catch and make to make this kind of equipment… … .”
[Place your eyes and activate the magic eye.]
“… … good.”
Lennok put his eyes between the lenses of the long telescope she had lifted up and slowly activated the Mystic Eye again.
As soon as you activate the magic eye through the lens, the eyeballs begin to glow and run rampant. I can feel the waves of magical power seeping through them delicately sweeping Lennok’s eyes.
[I get it roughly.]
Oliveira, who had been lost in thought for a moment with her eyes closed and her arms crossed, nodded.
“Do you know what the problem is?”
[When did you start recognizing the fissure in the magic eye?]
“A month ago. I was aware of the cracks in my retina, but I had no choice but to continue using it for personal reasons. In the meantime, the crack spread deep and changed into this form.”
said Lennok with his dark eyes closed.
“I know that it’s not just broken, it’s a process of turning into something. The problem is that every time you activate the Mystic Eye in the process, your eyesight is declining.”
Apart from the fact that Lennok’s Mystic Eye, which visualizes the realm of possibility, works without any problems, the moment I activate the Mystic Eye, the left eye becomes completely invisible.
The cracks covering the retina are gradually getting deeper and narrowing the angle of view itself.
Lennok understood that this was a harbinger of change as he faced something he hadn’t seen in the Labyrinth, but he didn’t know when it would end.
It is the moment when you have to choose between the fissure breaking and the magic eye transforming into a new form, or connecting the current rift and healing the magic eye.
That’s why Lennok tried to enlist the help of a mage who knew the most about demons he knew.
If it’s Oliviera who possesses the “Evil Eye of Chilchaepo”, which is said to be the treasure that has reached the top among countless Mystic Eyes, it might be able to solve the problem that happened to Lennok.
Oliviera stared at such Lennok through the veil and asked.
[How much do you know about magic eyes?]
“I personally did research. I think I understand as well as others.”
[Then, did you know that your demonic eyes were poorly designed from the beginning?]
“… … what?”
[Bondi Mystic Eye is not a power that simply ends in the pupil and shares the ability.]
Sitting in an upscale armchair nearby, Oliviera sighed, biting into a smoking pipe.
[A type of supernatural ability that arises when a series of magic circuits that connect the retina, optic nerve, and the inner side to the pituitary gland and pineal gland are twisted. For this reason, the ability of the demonic eye is generally far from the ability or system that one originally possessed.]
“I know that there are many such cases in normal manifestations of the Mystic Eye.”
[However, the case of a sorcerer who has awakened a demonic eye that is powerful enough to devour oneself rather than a trivial power is different. Whether to use the magic eye only as an additional ability while maintaining the original magic system, or to reorganize one’s power according to the manifested magic eye.]
Which way did Oliviera Lone Maze, who possesses the Mystic Eye of Chilchaebo, come to a conclusion?
While Lennok was lost in that thought for a moment, she continued.
[Usually, you realize which one you are as soon as you awaken the Mystic Eye, but your case is different. As the power of the Mystic Eye grows abnormally fast and becomes equal to your hierarchy, the eyes are overloaded.]
“… … .”
[Originally, it should have been eaten by the grown demonic eye before you even thought about it, but the fact that you ended up with an overload of the eye itself must be proof that you have perfect control over the power of the demonic eye.]
Oliviera laughed as smoke trickled through the veil.
[It’s rare for a demonic eye’s ability to grow to the point where it’s on par with its owner, but it’s a strange thing that it got to this state without being eaten there. Considering that an Outer-Eye Awakener with only one Mystic Eye is more fragile than a Both-Eye Awakener, it must be possible only if the possessor’s own skills follow suit. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a case myself.]
“Um… … .”
[When exactly did you awaken the Mystic Eye? Can you tell me when you realized the power of the Mystic Eye or the specific power?]
Perhaps because they were talking about common interests, Oliviera began to ask various questions about Lennok’s Mystic Eye with a different attitude than before.
Lennok agrees that some degree of disclosure is necessary to solve the problem.
“It was a few years ago that I awakened my demonic eye. After contemplating the magic flow of the possessor whose left eye only turned into a demonic eye by chance, I was able to copy it, albeit similarly.”
[…] … Did you mean that you did not awaken the Mystic Eye, but stole the flow of another holder and opened it?]
“Among the cartel’s general manager, there is a woman named Iola. To be precise, she imitated her magical flow.”
[Iola… … ? That child imitated the awakened Mystic Eye and made it grow this far?]
Lennox nodded at the words of Oliviera, who asked back with a look of bewilderment.
“At first, like her, it was just meddling with the flow of magical power. She seems to be moderately helpful between battles, so I’ve been using it, and I’ve come to realize how to use it in a slightly different way.”
The ability of the Mystic Eye to visualize the realm of possibility seems simple in words, but it must be so powerful that it is difficult to guess its potential.
Above all, since the ability of the demonic eye itself acts like a mirror that reflects Lennok’s image as it is, he could have given a clue to Oliviera if he hastily teased his mouth.
Between collaboration and vigilance, Lennok needed to moderate his relationship with her.
“Looks like Chairman, you seem to be aware of the cause and solution of this problem, but by exchanging information about it, Ayun’s work will be finished. Can you understand?”
[…] … It’s a really insolent statement for a young wizard, but it’s good. Since you made it easy for me to deal with the troublesome thing, I will answer you.]
Olivier replied.
[The crack in your retina is an impurity caused by not being able to handle the output of the Mystic Eye itself. To solve this, it is most efficient to divert the excessive output itself to another place.]
“Are you going to bypass it?”
[If you don’t intend to adjust the magic system itself to suit your mind. It would have been a very different story if you were in a situation where you couldn’t control the power of the Mystic Eye itself, but it seems that you are controlling your power so thoroughly that it’s strange, so there’s no need for that. The best way is… … .]
As she stood up and snapped her fingers, a huge hologram appeared in the middle of the vast laboratory as if she had waited.
[Awakening the Mystic Eyes in other pupils to share the output of the Mystic Eyes itself.]
