Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine, Chapter 600

Pieces and Parts (2)

[Honestly, I was a bit surprised.]

click!!

The madam, who had put down a small teacup in front of Lennok, leaned back in her chair and said,

Dark red liquid dripping in the teacup.

After thinking for a moment about what the red liquid the vampire had given out, Lennok cautiously brought it to his mouth.

Lennok asked after taking a few more sips, realizing that it tasted like black tea.

“Why?”

[I didn’t think that you, not someone else, would come with that story.]

The madam smiled as if covering her mouth with a veil, and answered.

[Among the vampires, not many people know. Because this city was too rough to trust and rely on just because we were of the same race.]

“You are not wrong.”

Lennok already knew that bonds between races were not so great in this world.

In a world where even the same human beings are busy stabbing each other in the back, it is difficult to send trust just because they are of the same race.

In the process, it wouldn’t be strange for the madam to filter out vampires who knew about it.

[Is that Virgil?]

Madam asked without waiting for Lennok’s answer.

[Because even though he has a relationship with you, he is the only vampire who can know that fact.]

“… … .”

[It looks like you’ve cleared a very large debt. It’s deeply related to my master, so I don’t think I’ll ever open my mouth… … .]

Madam laughed.

[That’s why I didn’t think that the secret would leak out more.]

“You mean the fact that Oliviera and Caise Bajour worked on the same project?”

The madam fell silent at Lennok’s direct question.

The figure of drinking the remaining liquid in the teacup without hesitation.

I don’t think it’s poison or something harmful mixed in. Such trivial maneuvers could not harm Lennok.

Rather, if the madam had played tricks on the teacup, she might be able to use that as an excuse to gain an advantage in this transaction.

“I said one of the oldest brokers on the floor.”

Lennok, who put down his empty glass and put it on, stared blankly at the madam.

“Kaise’s corpse. I respect the fact that his death has been hidden for decades.”

[…] … .]

“I want to finish with a clean transaction. If there is a price you want, please tell me now.”

Lennox’s eyes shook his head slightly.

“I will not accept rejection.”

From the beginning, I had no intention of proposing a fair deal to Madame.

A broker who has been living for a long time and has many secrets to hide.

It would be foolish not to use Lennok’s stature and reputation against such a being.

It doesn’t matter what you offer in exchange during the transaction process, but it is unacceptable for the madam to refuse the transaction itself.

Since she was also aware of that, she must have summoned Lennok to her place without hesitation.

[Whoa… … .]

Lennok didn’t know how much pressure a wizard who had transcended the hierarchy was facing from the front.

No, to be precise, I should say that I don’t know how strong other people feel the pressure.

How much weight does Lenok’s will express, and how far does that power reach?

And Madame seemed to be somewhat aware that Lennok had already crossed the hierarchy once.

The madam, who stretched out her pale fingertips and lifted the teacup, said with a small sigh.

[Do you know why I haven’t heard from you in the past few days?]

“… … .”

[As the quarantine measures in District 25 were lifted, civil engineering and construction projects that had been dying in the shadows became active. Among them, there are not a few companies in which I hold shares.]

“so?”

[I don’t ask for much.]

The madam met Lennok’s gaze with red eyes through her veil.

[The right to participate in development projects in District 25. If you give us official permission, we will give you information about Kaise.]

“… … .”

Lennox was also slightly surprised by Madame’s calm answer.

The information that Kyeon-roe participated in the operation related to the closed area has not been released officially yet.

Even so, did Madame know that Lennok not only participated in the operation of the closed area, but also obtained the land and business rights in the 25th area?

The trouble didn’t take long.

Lennok took a business card out of his pocket and set it down on the table.

“This is the contact information for Keegan Grimes, Level 1 Conservator, who controlled the Kurvas Dam.”

Looking at the madam who took the business card silently and read it carefully, Lennok said.

“I’m officially going to step down as manager, but the man still holds most of the administrative authority around District 25, including Kurvas Dam.”

[Hmm, a first-class manager… … .]

“Give me your name and tell me the business area you need. They will tell you which area development project permits to grant.”

If it was for bills or land, it would be enough to call Jenny and talk with the brokers,

What Madam wants is for the companies she owns to get a share of the business inside District 25.

Perhaps, rather than wanting the land in District 25 itself, he was aiming for an arrangement to spread his influence widely as a broker.

If the lifting of the quarantine measures in the closed area does not end with this one, it is highly likely that the opportunity will continue to return to the operators who won the first job.

Madam was looking for a way to expand the influence of the megalopolis in the long term by looking ahead to the point where the quarantine in District 25 was lifted.

[…] … great. I guess this should be enough. I didn’t know you would introduce me to the first-class manager.]

The madam smiled with a satisfied expression and spoke succinctly.

[It’s not easy to say that you can just say your name. Did you get used to using the phase in the meantime?]

“Now that I’m out of point, let’s move on to Kaise.”

said Lennok, interrupting the madam.

“I know that you are not taking care of Kaise’s body right now. If he did, he wouldn’t be able to continue working as a broker.”

[hmm.]

“What I want to know is where Kaise’s body is now kept and who is taking care of it.”

A blue light streamed between Lennok’s eyes as he looked at the madam.

“Even if you quit the job right away, you would know who your successor was, right?”

[…] … .]

Madame was not taken aback by Lenok’s mana that quietly pressed her in.

Instead, he lightly waved outside and brought in a new teacup, placing it between the two of them.

She gently stirred the teacup with a small spoon and opened her mouth slowly.

[After Kaise Bajour died due to the failure of the project, the vampires kept his body for no other reason.]

“… … ”

[Because only those who know the most about human skin hardening were able to keep the body intact. That’s why I was there, too, and it’s been a long time since I gave up all my authority.]

When Kaise just died, vampires were needed to keep his body most intact,

As time passed, the people involved in the project who found a way to store Kaise’s body took it back.

Before Lennok could even think, the madam spoke up.

[Kaise Bajour’s grave is in District 19.]

“Area 19… … .”

Along with District 25, it was a rough area that was designated as the first closed area in the Balkans.

And unlike District 25, it was also a secret land where information and environment in it were not leaked to the outside world.

To the extent that none of the people involved in the megalopolis that Lennok knew had ever been there.

[But as far as I know, Kaise’s body is not kept in that area.]

Madame shook her head.

[The last two candidates I heard about. Kundara, a city of alienation where longevity species born with true blood live, and Yorta, a military command city that contemplates and curses the flow of all spirits in the world.]

Taking out an old notebook, she lightly shoved it in front of Lennok.

[This is the only thing the person concerned at the time left behind. I said I would reserve a means of contacting you in case of the worst.]

Seeing Lennok pick up the notebook, Madame stood up without delay as if she had nothing more to say.

[This is the story I know. Oh, and one last thing.]

The madam’s voice as she pulled back the veil was tinged with a faint smile.

[If I can get in touch with you by any chance, could you tell me that it’s not my fault that this happened?]

* * *

An old downtown area where not a single person wanders.

Sitting at a shabby bus stop, where dusty fumes and wind swayed continuously, Lennok looked into his cell phone and was lost in thought.

“It is a small and medium-sized city that has been around for hundreds of years, with longevity servants residing there… … .”

The two cities where Kaise’s body is presumed to be kept, Kundara, the city of alienation, and Yorta, the military command city.

Unlike the military command city of Yorta, Lennok did not know much information about the Terrible City.

[Although it is located in the eastern continent, it is surrounded by unimaginably rough terrain and is not easy to access.]

Darby explained to Lennok the information he had learned from visiting the city government’s central network and the Deep Web as if he were at home.

[Almost all of the known information has stopped at the level that was released decades ago. At all, the official activity itself stopped 20 years ago, and even before that, there was virtually no outside activity.]

Darby, who was sitting curled up on Lennok’s lap and flicking her tongue, lifted her head slightly as if she had found something.

[Ah, but after looking through the data, there is only one message in recent years.]

“what?”

[On the day Madrea Falseer, the Thousand Dog, died, a message was sent to the Philenom Dominion.]

“… … .”

Darby sent Lennoc’s cell phone a message from the Outcast City and showed it to him.

The topic of the message was scribbled in an antique handwriting that took your breath away.

=To the pioneer who has wandered farther away than he can see.

=It is up to those who are left behind to give meaning to the life that has longed for more value than living time.

“… … Is this the end?”

[yes.]

“… … .”

Lennok, who had been stroking Darby’s perky ear and pondered, came to a conclusion before long.

“The Lonely City seems to have found their own way to escape the coming destruction.”

[yes?]

“Otherwise, there is no way I would have sent this message as a sign of condolences. Those who remain until the end and give meaning to them. This is literally what I call myself.”

A condolence letter with a minimal form that reveals who sent the message at the end, mourning Madrea Falseer.

So, it was not difficult for Lennok to guess that the Forlorn City was built to avoid destruction in the first place.

Even the meaning of the city of cowardice is an intuitive title that says it is outside the bounds.

Did longevity servants gather to find a way to avoid the coming destruction?

If so, it must be a matter related to their vast lifespan.

It was clear that Lennox would never let go of the topic.

“Someday, it will be necessary to visit Kundara as well… … .”

The problem lies in the fact that unless you know where Kaise’s corpse is located, there is no time to look around both cities.

Even at this moment, the situation of the Central Front, Blue Eye, Pandemonium, and Guido Church is changing rapidly.

Unless there is a very clear purpose or reason, it is difficult for Lennok to vacate his seat without hesitation.

‘Considering the issues related to the incarnation, it might be better to visit the military command city first.’

While working with the Blue Eye Watchers, Lennok had a vague idea of ​​how to deal with his own incarnation,

In the end, in order to properly handle that power, it was necessary to visit the military command city at least once to observe all spirits in this world.

As much as he learned the basics of super-fusion techniques from the twin watchers, Geo and Pio, didn’t he wonder what would happen if he fused with Lennok’s own incarnation?

Lennok thought for a while with a thoughtful expression, then looked at Darby and asked.

“Davi, how much time do you have left for the trip to Makina?”

[About 15 minutes until arrival time. Master came out too soon.]

The reason why I was immersed in contemplation sitting at a shabby bus stop without people.

At this point, when the promise with Madame was concluded, Lennok also decided that there was no reason to slow down his steps toward the Machine City.

After giving Jenny the excuse that she would take a few weeks off, she borrowed the power of Darby to get her unlicensed cross-city transportation to Makina.

Lennok was waiting for the road to Makina while looking up information about the city of fear.

“Right. Then I’d rather try it right here.”

[What?]

“The notebook Madame gave me. I think I know roughly how to use it.”

Saying that, Lennok took out the notebook he had acquired through the deal with Madame and opened it wide.

There were no words or drawings written on the inside of the pale yellow paper, but Lennok took a pen out of his bosom without hesitation.

“I said it was a means of contact, so maybe it’s like this?”

He picks up a pen and scribbles on the first page of his notebook.

[There is something to be said about the transfer of Kaise’s body.]

Ink disappears as if it seeps into the paper at the same time as writing a sentence on the notebook.

Lennok waited patiently, but no answer came back.

Darby stared at the notebook blankly, and slightly raised her magic power.

[Shall we give some electricity as a demonstration?]

“Are you going to keep talking nonsense?”

said Lennok, who lengthened Darby’s cheek.

“Since it’s just a means of communication, interrogating it will only make you look ridiculous.”

[On the deep web, if you read and are ignored, they say you should apply an electric bath!]

“If I learn something weird there one more time, I will really install an internet time limiter app.”

[Huh… … .]

Lennok pondered over Darby, who was drooping with a five-pronged tail, then raised his pen again.

But this time, the place where the pen tip touched was not the old paper of the notebook.

hook!!

Lennok, who dabbed the back of his hand with the nib and bled lightly, brought it to the notebook paper.

The bloodstained handwriting scribbled the same sentence as before on the notebook.

[There is something to be said about the transfer of Kaise’s body.]

But this time, the writing did not disappear into the notebook right away.

As if savoring the blood that Lennok had written himself, the letters disappearing over the pages of the notebook as if slowly tasting them.

Immediately after that, completely different letters began to rise in the place where Lennok had written the sentence.

[It smells of a very old time and soul.]

The moment when Lennok was about to say something in response to the sudden chatter of catching floating clouds.

Lennok stopped at another sentence just below the notebook.

[Meet the transcendent who is qualified to challenge the great mission.]

“… … .”

Lennok stopped his pen with an absurd expression at the notebook’s polite answer.

Darby tilted her head in bewilderment.

[What is this wad of paper talking about?]

“well. Judging from what I’m saying now, it’s probably me… … .”

[Ascendant. What are you curious about?]

“… … You seem to be mistaken for an ascendant.”
