Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine Chapter 651

Qualification for Ascension (1)

“I heard that you rejected the captain’s offer.”

A dark room with no light.

A man with a dark shadow on his face was talking to someone who lowered his head.

Ambiguous height and body type, whose age cannot be guessed. Wearing an old white coat, arms crossed, casual attitude.

At the end of the man’s gaze, the elderly woman just lowered her head without answering.

“… … .”

Although it is clear that the woman is alive, she can barely detect any vital reactions including breathing.

A sign so faint that even a man who has greedily studied all kinds of technologies and civilizations can’t understand.

It is probably because she is a worn-out being who has lived a hard life for a long time.

A great transcendentalist who has observed the open sea for hundreds of years and delayed the direct approach of destruction.

An Ascendant who wears out while shouldering a mission that ordinary humans can never fathom, and eventually runs out of strength.

Heavenly dog, Madrea Palsire was such an existence.

“You are too weak. If you are now, you can easily kill an idiot like me.”

“… … .”

“The captain doesn’t show it, but he wants to respect the will of an old Ascendant like you. So I probably just backed off… … .”

The man shrugged his shoulders as he did not respond.

“However, it is regrettable that the power and qualifications you possess disappear like this. Don’t you think so?”

At those words, Chun-hyeon slowly raised his head.

Gray eyes, out of focus. An opaque gaze that made it impossible to guess whether he was looking at the man properly.

Two eyes that do not fit the prestige of the heavenly dog ​​that can see everything the farthest.

“If you try to fill the unfulfilled, you become obsessed with understanding and proof.”

However, the words thrown by such a passing glance pierced the man’s true nature very accurately.

The man, who flinched as if he hadn’t expected the words at all, laughed bitterly as if surprised by his own reaction.

“… … Right. Are you pointing out the delusion that’s left of me? I didn’t want to know it this way.”

“… … .”

“Thanks for the advice. But I would like to hear the answer to the question.”

Did the man’s unwavering request give her another thought?

Cheongyeon, who had been lowering his head weakly, raised his hand very slowly, leaning on the armrest.

“… … !!”

With just that small gesture, the man shook his shoulders and stepped back several tens of meters.

It is said that they are dying with all their might, but the abilities of the ascended ascendants who have obtained qualifications are not enough to be called transcendent.

Even more so, if you are an Ascendant who has been on a mission for a long time like the dog of heaven, it is extremely dangerous even if the nature is far from combat.

She was a being who could overturn the very concept of ‘seeing’ in one sitting.

However, Chun-hyeon didn’t care about the man who quickly retreated, and lightly flicked his raised finger.

At that moment, the scenery reflected in the man’s eyes changed in an instant.

Aaaaaaa!!

A huge night sky that can’t be guessed at the end.

Dozens of lighthouses illuminate the dark sea, serving as eyes to clear the darkness.

This is the image of a transcendentalist who inherited the mission of a lighthouse keeper.

The heart of an ascendant dedicated to the earth as a beacon itself illuminating the open sea.

“… … It is beautiful.”

Even a man who is not well versed in aesthetic senses inadvertently exclaims in exclamation at the scene of the heart.

The moment when Cheongyeon turned his hand over as he illuminated his own lantern.

A small model of a lighthouse rose from the air, transforming itself into a dazzling mirror of jewels.

Dig!!

The moment Chun-gyeon slowly put his hand down on the armrest of the chair, the jewel mirror was already in the man’s hand.

“This… … .”

Even the face of the man who recognized the identity bloomed with amazement that could not be hidden.

“It is the lighthouse keeper’s duty to hand over the light to those who seek hope.”

The Thousand Dog murmured softly.

“Even if you choose the wrong path… … . Everyone has the right to light the way.”

“… … .”

Although aware that the man was involved in human sacrifice, Chen Qian did not declare that the method was wrong.

She just blurted out that she herself didn’t like it that way.

It must be because the way and standard of treating humans have already transcended the values ​​of ordinary humans.

While admiring that overwhelming standard, the man picked up the jewel mirror and slipped it into his bosom.

“Thank you for the mercy of the Great Ascendant. But, why to the captain?”

“He has already decided how to walk himself.”

An illusion arose as if the gaze of the Thousand Dogs came into focus for an instant.

“Those who choose to walk backwards while looking back on the path they have traveled do not need a lantern to light their way.”

“… … .”

silent man. As if he didn’t expect an answer, he raised his eyes without saying a word.

“If you don’t realize it yourself, you can’t survive. I hope Lapis will understand someday.”

“Right. Was that what you meant by the way you love humans?”

After muttering that, the man stepped back and bowed his head.

The utmost courtesy he could show a great ascendant.

“The ending you choose. your destiny. Even the lamp you want to leave behind.”

The man’s eyes, which raised his gaze, seemed to have changed seriously for a moment.

“Let’s not forget and remember everything. So that someday someone will understand.”

Dismissed!!

That moment. I heard someone’s rough breathing at the same time as the illusion of the landscape in the dark room being shattered.

Wow Jangchang!!

“haha… … !!”

It took Lennok a while before he realized it was the sound coming out of his own mouth.

An empty town. She is sitting leaning on the edge of a shelf in a bookstore with papers fluttering in the wind.

Lennok, who had been sitting there in a daze, recalling his memories, smiled bitterly as he recalled what had happened.

“This… … .”

Whose memory was the one you were looking at just a moment ago?

It was because he seemed to know who the man he was talking to was, even if he didn’t have to say it.

The ideological globalization of the celestial dog temporarily developed by Maya through the auxiliary calculation of Dr.

The image of a transcendental person who has the qualifications to shoulder the mission of a lighthouse keeper and challenge the ascension.

A transcendent supernatural ability that completely changes reality itself through him.

The eyes that illuminate everything, the power of the world of thought befitting its prestige, was the power to turn reality itself upside down and shatter it, albeit for a short time.

Maiya succeeded in incapacitating the enforcement agencies in one fell swoop through brief development of the entire world and at the same time escaping Lennok from being pursued.

However, neither Maya nor Lennox could escape the aftermath.

That’s why right after he succeeded in escaping, Lennok was swept away by the aftermath of the brief development of the entire world and saw someone’s memories.

The memory of someone who was once a designer of the Ascension Gate, once a seeker of civilization, and now a technician of pandemonium.

“… … .”

I didn’t think that such a memory would remain behind the consciousness of the eccentric man who laughed at everything and talked as if he understood everything.

Is it because the last meeting with Cheongyeon left a deep impression in his memory?

If so, I thought I could understand why the doctor used the will of the celestial dog to help at this point.

“… … It won’t be a coincidence.”

I don’t think everyone in the world of thought saw the same memory as Lennok.

Since Lennok had met both of the people who had appeared in his memory, the thought might have flowed beyond his consciousness.

After arriving in Machine City, there were a lot of times when I looked into other people’s memories for a long time.

Although Lennok’s own mind would not be shaken by looking into his memories, it is an undeniable fact that the reaction was as severe as that.

Lennok stopped thinking that far and struggled to get up from his seat.

The burden on Maiya must have been enormous as she temporarily developed it by forcibly imitating the image of another person, especially the authority of an ascendant.

However, in order to buy Lennok time, he is forced to focus all the power of Machine City on himself.

A moment of leisure given to Lennok. There was no time to waste this gap.

Lennok looked at the darkening sky and touched the dripping drops with his fingers.

“It’s raining… … .”

The sight of Lennok watching the pouring raindrops completely disappeared from the street.

* * *

[The fire in the upper workshop area is not easily extinguished.]

[Currently, we are recruiting personnel from various institutions, including the police force… … .]

[The possibility of terrorism is pointed out by the fact that the turmoil has not subsided in the world, but rather is spreading to various districts… … .]

It is the most well-equipped ward in Machine City, and a medical district that mainly treats the highest-class VIPs.

In the private hospital room on the top floor, Ebert was watching the TV with a serious expression.

“It shouldn’t be anything special… … .”

Although the press doesn’t directly mention any other possibility, Ebert knew from several sources what was happening to the city.

A major problem has arisen inside the seawall.

The survival of all the Meisters who cooperated with Ex Machina and Hermes, who were in charge of this quarter, is uncertain.

In the meantime, the news that someone had entered and escaped the sea barrier spread throughout the Navy, and an emergency call-up order was issued in the area.

Crucially, now that the culprit has been identified as Lyman, who was recently working in the upper workshop district, and the enforcement agency is investigating.

Everything goes so fast that Ebert’s common sense can’t easily judge any situation.

Ebert’s expression faded as he looked at Narcissa’s face as if she was lying dead with a respirator on.

“sister… … .”

“Here you are.”

“… … !!!”

Ebert jumped up from his seat and turned his head.

As if he had just come back from the pouring rain, a young man, soaked all over, was standing in front of the hospital room door.

Wearing an iron mask that half covered his face, he had a neat impression as usual.

However, that expressionless face looked like a completely different person from the Lyman Ebert had known.

Ignoring Ebert’s reaction, Lennok slowly walked into the room and stood in front of Narcissa.

The moment Lennok, who was looking at the unconscious Narcissa’s face, stretched out his hand into her arms.

“Wait a minute!! What are you trying to do!!”

Ebert hurried up and stood in front of Narcissa.

“… … .”

“All, you… … Aren’t you being chased by the enforcement agencies?”

said Ebert, tightening his expression and glaring at Lennok.

“The corps commander of the mechanized corps personally issued a wanted order, but how… … .”

“I used some bait.”

Ebert’s shoulders trembled at Lennok’s answer, whose tone had changed dramatically.

Looking at Ebert like that, Lennok took out a sky-blue vial from his bosom and held it up.

“It is an antidote obtained from the person who tried to assassinate Narcissa Solmer.”

“… … !!”

“Oason worked with Hermes to kill Narcissa, and he had the antidote himself.”

Lennok said as he shook the vial he was holding in his wet hand.

“I have confirmed that the drug is real. Get out of the way because I want to ask Narcissa.”

“It’s not possible. how do i trust you… … !!”

Whoop!!

Ebert screamed and raised his mana, but in the next moment his limbs were tightly bound with thin magic thread.

Lennok murmured as Ebert’s mouth fell open as he realized in the blink of an eye that his wrists were tied to the corner of the bed in the hospital room.

“I am not asking.”

“Ugh… … !! I will call someone!!”

“as you please.”

Lennok ignored Ebert and immediately poured the drug into Narcissa’s mouth.

Pour about half of the medicine into Narcissa’s mouth, close the lid, and set it down on the table in the hospital room.

“With Narcissa, there will be one more soldier who was shot and in critical condition. Give it to that person.”

“I knew what the drug was and told my sister… … !!”

“Um… … .”

Ebert’s words cut off just as Narcissa’s eyelids began to twitch.

The old man’s forehead seemed to frown, and his calm breathing became loud and irregular.

As if waking up from a long sleep, Narcissa wakes up slowly with her breathing disturbed.

Ebert tried to stand up, but was tied up by a magician and collapsed.

“Nu-sister!!”

“… … Ebert?”

Narcissa looked at Ebert with a blurry gaze and frowned.

“What are you doing there?”

“I-Ija came to my sister’s hospital room!!”

Ebert struggled on the floor, Narcissa’s expression slightly changed when she finally turned her gaze to find Lennok.

“You were that kid back then… … .”

“Narcissa Solmer. There is something I want to ask you.”

Upon hearing Lennok’s voice, Narcissa’s eyes began to focus.

“… … He said that his talent was unusual, but he wasn’t an ordinary craftsman. What are you doing?”

As soon as he wakes up after a few weeks, he remembers Lennok and, conversely, pursues him. It is admirable.

But Lennok didn’t have time to give Narcissa an answer.

“Are the remains of the Ascension Gate hidden in the workshop of Hwadeok Jingun?”

“… … !!!”

Narcissa’s face hardened.

A question so shocking that even she, a meister who has lived for a long time and an old politician, cannot hide her agitation.

Ebert, who had been watching Lennok’s words and Narcissa’s reaction from the side, opened his mouth.

“What the hell does that mean!!”

“Hermes colluded with Oason Meister to plot your assassination.”

Lennok took a cigarette from inside his arms and snapped his fingers.

profit!

“That would have been to neutralize your actions and at the same time stop restraining yourself… … . I think a little differently.”

As the smoke rose, Lennok spoke quietly.

“He is using the Ascension Gate to bring beings from the Old World into this world. In the meantime, he lent his power to assassinate you.”

“… … .”

“Because I wanted to touch the space you were managing. If you are the one who inherited the battles of the Hwadeok March, you will know what Hermes is aiming for.”

If it was Jingun Hwadeok, who made the foundation of the Ascension Gate, it would not be strange to say that the remains of the gate or key parts were stored separately.

When Lennok heard that Hermes had lent a hand to Oason.

He was certain that Hermes was aiming for a workshop, a specific place, or a secret managed by Narcissa.

Narcissa, who had been silent, immediately raised her head and looked at Lennok with a strong gaze.

“There’s a problem with your heart. yes?”

“… … .”

“Unless the door in Simseonggwan is damaged, there would be no reason to look for a new place.”

As Narcissa said that and looked at Ebert, Ebert nodded with a sad expression.

Understanding the meaning, Narcissa let out a trembling breath and closed her eyes.

“Right. Hermes Gnome is gearing up… … .”’

“Where are you?”

Lennok asked again.

“I want to specify where Hermes will work in the end. I don’t have much time anymore.”

“… … .”

Narcissa Solmer is a complete successor who has been handed down everything including workshop management from Hwadeok Jin-gun himself.

Therefore, there is a high possibility that he knows all about the secrets he left behind.

That’s why Lennok thought to wake up Narcissa and approach the core right away, instead of blindly heading to the fire room.

Narcissa’s mouth, which had been contemplating with her eyes closed for a while, slowly opened.

“Master… … You considered laying the foundations of the Ascension Gate the greatest achievement of your life.”

Nashiga smiled with a hint of remorse.

“So even after he passed away, he wanted me to always be with him.”

“You mean the remains of Seungcheonmun are in the tomb of Jingun Hwadeok?”

“Who, sister… … .”

said Ebert, interrupting Lennok in a trembling voice.

“But Master… … .”

“Master’s ashes were not scattered on the tomb, but over your posthumous works. Even after he died, he wanted to be a part of the city and be with him.”

“… … .”

It was only then that Lennok realized what Narcissa was saying, and his complexion changed slightly.

“This is the last work Jin-gun Hwadeok made, and Master’s own workshop tower.”

Narcissa said calmly.

“The tallest structure in this machine city is the very foundation of the failed Gate of Ascension.”

* * *

click!!

A quiet street in the rain.

Only Lenok, walking without an umbrella, passes through the dark streets alone and disappears.

“… … .”

The shape of a gigantic tower towering far above.

It is the last posthumous work produced by Jingun Hwadeok, and the appearance of the huge workshop tower that he used as his workshop.

Each step of the tower is a workshop designed for meister-level craftsmen, and a living area itself.

It is one of the very few buildings in the machine city of Machina, where height restrictions are imposed due to movement between compartments, where height restrictions are lifted.

The moment Lennok opened the door and was about to step inside.

Faaaa!!

Lights came on in the dark street, and dazzling lights began to illuminate Lennok.

An intensity of light strong enough to blind both eyes.

Standing in front of the door leading into the tower, the light was bright enough not to cast a shadow anywhere around Lennok’s body.

Lennok smiled as he watched dozens of laser pointers overlapping the back of his hand clutching the doorknob, dyeing his skin red.

With this much on the back of his hand, there must be hundreds of muzzles pointing at him at once on his back by now.

A deep voice came from behind Lennox.

“Slowly raise your hands and turn your back this way.”

“… … .”

“The main building is the commander of the 3rd Corps of the Mechanized Corps, Thermore God. If you disobey his orders, I swear that I will grind you into the sixth piece on the spot.”

In response, Lennok slowly raised his hand and turned his back.

The ranks of armored infantry and tank troops filled the inside and outside of the huge battle tower.

Dozens of transport planes fly in the sky, and you can feel the presence of snipers aiming at them from afar.

And the figure of a man sitting on a huge chariot in the center of the ranks, touching his chin with an intriguing look.

“I didn’t know that the Bone Corps would capture you alive, overtaking the enforcement agencies. I didn’t think there would be a chance to set up a major, but this is very lucky.”

Thermore, a man who introduced himself as the commander of the mechanized corps, smiled and beckoned.

“I’ve heard a lot of rumors about you, Lyman. It is said that a new artisan in the high-level workshop area is stronger than most fortune tellers.”

“… … .”

“It’s a pity that those outstanding abilities weren’t used for our Machine City. But what could be different?”

At the same time that Thermore said that, armored infantry units came out from all sides and surrounded Lennok.

“Please remain calm until we arrest your new recruit. I know I’m not very good at fighting, but I still have to do my job.”

Did he even know that he had infiltrated this way by using the crow as bait and keeping it far away?

But instead of replying to that, Lennok turned his gaze toward the fire defense tower that towered so high.

The reason why he dared to walk directly towards the main gate of the tower even though he knew there were ambushes and traps.

It was to check the scenery that could only be seen from this spot.

Magical energy flowed through the doorknob he just grabbed, and his senses expanded endlessly, quickly covering the entire workshop.

wheein… … !!

You can’t see your eyes properly between the dark night and the bright lights, but your sixth sense, which has been expanded through magic sensing, sees something beyond your five senses.

A huge throne resembling a grand and splendid palace located on the top floor of the Workshop Tower.

A huge, perfectly circular ring adorned on the wall behind the throne.

The foundation of the Ascension Gate itself, used in the Ascension Gate project.

The relic, which should have been completely disposed of as the plan failed, was hidden in the workshop of Hwadeokjingun.

[Whoa… … .]

And on top of the white throne located in the center of that great ring of light.

A young man sitting quietly with his eyes closed, his chin resting and his head bowed.

Thousands of wires connected behind the gray-haired young man’s back sway as if trying to inject something beyond humanity.

Lennok nodded as he checked the figure of Hermes, who had sunk deeply as if asleep, at the edge of the defense tower, and looked back at the group of tanks of the 3rd Corps that surrounded him.

“good.”

click!!

Lennok removed the iron mask covering his face with a single gesture, and slowly tilted his neck back and raised his mana.

Maya had guessed who Lennok was, so she didn’t stop him from trying to meet Hermes alone.

Rather, she intended to open the way to Hermes, even if it meant paying the price.

And it is an unmistakable fact that the plan is based on Lennok’s own abilities and actions.

After confirming Hermes’ location and condition, there was no reason to hesitate any longer.

“There’s no reason to hide it anymore.”

Pagging support… … !!

At the same time as the intense lightning rising from the fingertips, the expression of the mechanized corps gradually changes.

The moment when someone was surprised by the fact that the iron mask used on Lenok’s face was not a trace of body modification, and the mana that burst out was completely different from that of the craftsman.

“Wait, you are not Lyman… … !!”

Through the dark night sky of the machine city, bright blue lightning bolts fell.

Kwaaaaang!!

Lennok took a step forward through the brilliance of thunder that dazzled the surroundings.

Pitch, Pitch… … !!

The sorcerer, wrapped in bubbling thunderbolts, looked at the top of the tower and nodded.

“Let’s finish it quickly.”
