Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine Chapter 627

Iron Discipline (2)

At the same time as the man’s calm voice resounds, an enormous amount of information floods in beyond Boyan’s memory.

It is an overwhelming amount of information that Boyan cannot properly accept and understand with his own mind and heart.

Click, rattle!!

Ujijijik, Kagagak!!

A forgotten sound from the other side of the world, incomprehensible to human senses and intellect, penetrated the auditory senses and filled the brain.

It could not be seen or touched, but it was unmistakably slowly opening in front of Boyan’s eyes.

Squeak… … !!

[Ahhh… … !!]

Even though both eyes were covered, Boyan’s eyes spun around as if they were about to go blind, pouring out tears.

Despite forcibly limiting visual information and accepting the aftermath of the door only through hearing, Boyan’s consciousness is already being worn down to the point of being swept away.

The man grabbed Boyan’s wrists, pulled them lightly, and pushed his bound hands forward.

The moment I intuitively felt that I had put my hand inside the door, the feeling in both hands completely disappeared.

An empty feeling of disappearance, as if all the bones, muscles, and flesh of the lower forearm had been left out of this world.

saaaaaa… …

You can feel the wind flowing through the cold abyss.

The remnants of oblivion, wandering here and there in search of a direction, as if something were climbing up through the fingertips.

[Wrong.]

Boyan, already completely unconscious, flinched in tears and drool, but the man didn’t seem satisfied with that fact.

[Huh, huh?]

[I grabbed something, but I didn’t have enough rationality to pull it out.]

[Ha ha ha ha ha!!]

Boyan started crying, screaming, and laughing loudly.

[The rule of steel. Decades have passed since the oath of silence faded, but its legacy still remains here.]

[…] … ah?]

[The designer of the Ascension Gate, this is the only consideration I can give you now without Atermire.]

No further reply was heard from Boyan.

Instead, with a hand gently pushing him from behind. Just like that, Boyan’s body jumped through the door.

[Go. If you’re lucky, you might come across something that can save your soul.]

At the same time as the terrifying memories that cover the senses of the whole body through an unknown bizarre fog.

Lennok regained consciousness beyond Boyan’s memories.

Dig!!

“Ouch… … !!”

Could it be because he forcibly searched Boyan’s memories and confirmed the truth?

Boyan fell to the ground, eyes closed, frothing at the mouth and convulsing.

However, Lennok was so focused on recalling the memory he had just peeked that he couldn’t care less about Boyan’s reaction.

“… … .”

The ‘door’ mentioned in Machine City Machina.

There is no doubt that it refers to the Ascension Gate Project, which was treated as the supreme plan in this city.

But even more surprising is the fact that the Ascension Gate’s maintenance is still not enough to remain in this city, and it is still experimenting with the failure.

From the memories he had just peeked at, Lennok was able to get a sense of what the Gate of Ascension was.

And even why the knowledge and heritage of the Old World are so often visible in this machine city.

‘It’s the door to the next world… … I think I know why the Ascension Gate failed.’

Machine City opened the Ascension Gate dreaming of the next road, but what existed beyond the gate was not the fourth world.

Rather, what existed in them was closer to the traces of failure and destruction that they never hoped for.

‘Has it become a burden to bear certain penalties and conditions in return for opening the door? If so, it makes sense to run an experiment like this in parallel, but… … .’

Then why did Boyan’s memory not disappear and still remain in his mind?

Considering the power and status of the Ascension Gate, it is unrealistic to not be able to take the memories of an ordinary artisan.

If I had to choose the cause, it would be more correct to think that it was because of the achievements that Boyan obtained beyond the Ascension Gate.

“Is it because it’s a spirit…? … ?”

A spirit is a being that is both life and non-life. It is made to stay in the space of the spirit world before incarnating in the material world.

At the moment when Boyan took out the Salamander from inside the Gate of Ascension, confusion might have arisen as the amount of information from the Gate of Ascension was connected to the spirit world.

It is not difficult to understand if some memories of Boyan, which should have been lost in the process, remain.

‘The memory before entering the door remains, but the memory after entering has disappeared. In fact, it means that close to half of the memories were not lost and remained intact… … .’

The fact that amnesia did not work properly due to the removal of the spirits of the old world must be proof that the legacy of Ascension Gate remains in an unstable form.

That, in other words, was proof that intervention was unmistakably possible, provided Lennok could locate the Ascension Gate.

‘Designer Attermyer. Ascension Gate, which finds the legacy of the old world, and the statue of God, who makes transactions using knowledge as a database… … .’

Perhaps the ability of the god created by the doctor was created by borrowing some of the ability of Ascension Gate.

After thinking that far, Lennok slowly collected his mana and stood up.

“… … .”

After passing out Boyan, he lifted it up with a magician and carried it on his back, then staggered back.

I was convinced that if I checked Boyan’s memory, I would be able to get the clue Lennok wanted, so I tried my hand at it.

There are more possibilities and information spreading out in a series of images than I thought.

Rather than sorting it out here right now, I have no choice but to take care of this matter and think about it.

* * *

The fire that engulfed the Cyberd Workshop was extinguished, and Boyan, a disciple of the Workshop, was pointed out as the culprit of what had happened.

Cyberd stared at Boyan as he was taken away by the police and disappeared for a long time without saying a word.

With his head bowed weakly, Boyan walks away without even looking back at the studio properly.

Cyberd let out a sigh and slowly turned his head and met Lennok’s gaze.

“I don’t know how to thank you for what happened today.”

Cyberd muttered, unable to look at Lennok properly, averting his gaze.

“I’m sorry I lied about you because I doubted you. Do you really think that one of my students is the culprit… … .”

“If I hadn’t learned about spirits over my shoulder, it would have been difficult to think about.”

Lennok answered without batting an eye.

“I was lucky.”

“What is the powder you threw into the furnace earlier?”

An older disciple standing next to Cyberd asked.

“As a result, if it wasn’t for that, Boyan wouldn’t have come forward. I don’t know what kind of powder it was that made him overreact so much.”

“Ah, it’s a snack set that the spirits like.”

“… … A snack set?”

Upon hearing Lennok’s nonchalant answer, the artisans’ expressions changed strangely.

“Is there any reason to carry such a thing in Machine City?”

“Because I got it by chance.”

In fact, it is one of the snacks for the spirits that undergraduate students have bought to express their gratitude to Darby after solving the case of the Goddess of Magic at Rabatenon Magic University.

Darby took great pride in the fact that the undergraduates were feeding him, but there were few treats to satisfy Darby’s fastidious appetite, and most of them were kept intact in Lennok’s hands.

Lennok sprinkled such spirit snacks to bring out the spirit hiding in the furnace, and Boyan pretended to quarrel with Lennok and tried to hide the spirit crawling out of the furnace somehow.

“Yeah, that’s right… … After all, Narcissa’s eyes weren’t wrong.”

Cyberd muttered with a confused expression, and soon cleared his throat after clearing his expression.

“Anyway, it’s clear that your diagnosis was more effective than anything else. Not even half a day has passed, but the temperature in the workshop is already returning to normal.”

“I’m glad.”

“As promised, I will introduce you to other artisans I know, and I will do my best to help you establish your consulting business.”

Cyberd nodded with a determined face.

“If you have contact information or flyers for your studio, bring them all and leave them in our studio. Within three days, I will make sure that no one in this workshop district knows that your workshop has opened!”

“I don’t think you need to do that, but… … .”

With that said, Lennok made an appointment to meet with Cyberd separately and prepared to leave.

While the other disciples opened the workshop again and prepared to work, Cyberd alone came out to meet Lennok.

Lennok, who was about to return to his studio immediately, looked back at Cyberd as if he remembered something and opened his mouth.

“Oh, and can I give you one piece of advice about running the studio in the future?”

“However much.”

Lennok slightly lowered his voice and whispered at Cyberd’s answer filled with solid trust.

“It’s better not to reveal too much about which side you value more in front of the disciples.”

“… … What do you mean?”

“All of the disciples’ shoes were charred.”

said Lennok.

“Normally, that doesn’t happen when you sit in one place on a furnace and work. The direction in which you sit at the workbench and the furnace is fixed like a habit.”

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

“Didn’t you change from time to time which furnace you would work on depending on the performance of your disciples?”

Cyberd shut his mouth.

“Since each brazier has a different direction, if you change places frequently with the flame, your shoes will all be scorched regardless of the direction of the brazier.”

“… … .”

“It seems that the competition was deliberately instigated so that excellent artisans change seats based on performance over the five furnaces.”

Lennok went on to say about the Cyberd who couldn’t say anything.

“Bojan probably noticed this and was convinced that he had been pushed out of the defense ranks. That’s why he didn’t hesitate to use the workshop’s brazier as food for the spirits for his comfort.”

“Lyman, I… … .”

Cyberd, who opened his mouth as if to make an excuse, soon gave up and hung his shoulders weakly.

“… … Your intuition is truly amazing. It’s sharper than any artisan or superman I’ve ever seen. No, it is rather creepy.”

“… … .”

“that’s right. It was decided that the one who sat on the brazier in good condition was the student who had achieved results, and we have been pushing for the disciples to sit by changing seats every quarter. It was intended to encourage the guys to improve… … .”

Perhaps Cyberd’s thoughts became more intense after the temperature inside the workshop began to fluctuate.

As the condition of the brazier varies slightly depending on the workshop temperature, he must have thought that a good brazier should be entrusted to a disciple who achieved even a little excellent results.

Lennok looked at the Cyberd and said quietly.

“It’s not just Boyan. Perhaps the other disciples are also vaguely aware of the level of their position in the studio.”

“… … .”

“I don’t mean to interfere with the Cyberd craftsman’s view of education. You know?”

Lennok nodded.

“You shouldn’t hide it at all, but revealing it too openly is bound to cause resentment.”

That’s why it’s difficult to be suitable.

However, in the end, since it is against the same person, it is not possible to go to either extreme in the end.

It is said that there is no right answer in the world, but at least the incident that occurred in the cyberd workshop that Lennok felt was like that.

“Yes, yes… … .”

As if feeling something, the focus returned to Cyberd’s eyes.

He looked at Lennok and lowered his head slightly.

“Today I am learning one thing. thanks. I will try to remember those words from now on.”

* * *

On the other side of the street of the workshop district where the sunset is setting.

There was a person watching the two shadows coming out of the back of the studio where the smoke was rising thickly.

If it’s a unique point, is that distance located at the end of a mechanical barrier thousands of meters away?

The figure of a man sitting leisurely and gazing with the naked eye at a distance where an ordinary person would be able to focus even with a telescope.

An inorganic voice resounded in the man’s arms.

[Is that man Lyman?]

“At first, he called himself Ban.”

the man answered.

“Lyman is an identity that Isabella arbitrarily invented to get him to participate in the selection ceremony. Even after the selection ceremony is over, I continue to use that name for convenience.”

[Half… … .]

The voice that repeated the name with a strange resonance somewhere laughed.

[Aren’t they both real names?]

“Looking at what you’ve done so far, you’d have to say it wasn’t.”

The focus of the man’s right eye rapidly widened as he said that, and soon began to roll around, drawing a strange curve.

With his right eye, which bizarrely rotates as if focusing a camera lens, he watches a young man who is absorbed in cleaning from inside the workshop.

“Considering the known temperament of fastness, he is a cruel, violent, and arrogant wizard himself. It’s completely different from what Lyman has done so far.”

[…] … .]

“I have been observing you for several days, but I agree with Isabella, Hermes. It’s on the other side. It is also somewhere closely connected to the old world.”

[Hmm… … .]

The voice seemed to be thinking about something for a long time, but then he let out a light sigh.

[I knew. If the two spearheads of the Enforcement Agency made the same judgment, we shouldn’t stumble any further.]

As Lennok had thought, he had come too far to avoid being noticed under the name Lyman, and Machine City’s leaders were aware of that as well.

The relocation of Lennok’s workshop to the upper workshop district was also not a decision made by Narcissa Solmer alone.

“It’s been a while since I contacted you, how are you doing these days?”

The man who returned the focus back to normal smiled and trembled.

“Hasn’t Ex Machina been making a lot of noise about the governor’s son?”

[The machine head is holding the evidence and trying not to solve it at all.]

The commissioner called Hermes answered flatly.

[As the governor is from that country, as a mechanical head, I think it is advantageous for the governor to maintain his position.]

“That’s normal, but… … .”

Each district of the Machine City has a manager in charge, but the governor does not refer to a position in charge of administrative affairs in a particular district or district.

An existence that manages the deepest district where the sea barrier is located and leads other managers.

As much as that, it was only natural that even in Ex Machina, fierce battles would be fought over which faction the governor would be selected from.

And as the man feared, the governor of this generation was a man with a dirty back regardless of public or private affairs.

[One more. At the meister selection ceremony, it seems that Commissioner Brahms was fussing about needlessly. They say that the performance was urgent because there was not much left in the term?]

“Oh, is that what you mean? Seeing that Isabella doesn’t say much, she doesn’t have to worry… … .”

[By now, in the flames of the incinerator, you must be thinking about the mistakes you made.]

“… … .”

The man shut his mouth at the words of Hermes, who muttered calmly.

[It is possible that those behind Narcissa Solmer’s assassination were intertwined with the governor. Sooner or later, he won’t stay in that position for long.]

“… … So you’re thinking of shaking the mechanical head and seeing the reaction?”

[All preparations have already been completed. He scratched the thing he loved and cherished the most, and got that scratch.]

said Hermes in a pleasant voice.

[All that remains is to wait for the failure of the Ascension Gate to spill over this city.]

“… … .”

Instead of responding to that, the man stood up from his seat after staring at the cloudy sky of Machine City in silence.

Decades ago, when Machine City Makina closed the barriers and minimized interactions with the outside world.

Rather, the number of people trying to sneak into Machina and find out the secret they are hiding has increased even more.

In the process, a large number of strong men, who even the executive officers cannot be vigilant for, invaded Makina, as well as being captured and detained.

Even at this moment, other enforcers are running around the huge mechanical barrier, struggling to endure the iron discipline.

Men shouldn’t smoke for a long time either.

That moment when the man who thought so glanced away.

“… … uh?”

[Why is that?]

“I don’t know if I was wrong… … .”

The man tilted his head slightly and murmured quietly.

“I think I just looked this way.”

I didn’t feel any movement of looking away or even a sign of sensing this direction, but it seemed that the man’s sixth sense had caught a faint sense of deja vu.

Is it just a remnant that occurred in the process of reflecting on what needs to be done in the future?

After that, the man who looked carefully at Lenok for a while again disappeared without finding anything unusual.

“… … .”

Lennok did not look away from the sign of the shadow disappearing in the distance, chasing it until the very end.

“Ban, what are you doing there?”

“… … it’s nothing.”

Although he felt the watchful eye, it must mean that stepping down at this point in itself meant nothing more than a check.

If so, Lennok can still go ahead with his original purpose with peace of mind.

The two purposes that Lennok pursued when he first entered the city.

To find the blueprints left in Kaise’s research log, and to investigate the secret of the Gate of Ascension.

The two are memories left between different spaces and times, but the fact that they are hidden without anyone knowing is the same.

The legacy of the old world as seen through Boyan’s memories and the power of the door controlled through the rules of the Iron Discipline.

How far in this city are the memories and traces of the destroyed world, are they recorded beyond that gate?

For now, if he has no choice but to pursue the closer one, there is only one thing Lennok has to do.

“If the Ascension Gate still remains in the form of a gate in this city… … .”

You can’t be sure of anything unless you go inside and see for yourself.
