Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine, Chapter 696

The Witch and the Magic Tower (10)

Area 54.

Abandoned urban area in ruins with expansion development stopped.

A cold wind blows between the buildings that were built, but the bare concrete and broken neon signs roll around.

Among those abandoned buildings, there is a small library that is relatively intact.

Lennok and Tatiana were sheltered from the wind in their seats in the library.

“Libraries are usually built with the weight of the books in mind, starting with the design.”

Lennok sat down between the fallen bookshelves, biting down on a cigarette.

“As it is considered as a disaster evacuation facility, it is well preserved and managed. You picked the right place.”

It didn’t take long to contact Virgil, explain the business, and set a place and time.

Although he has never worked or gone to work properly, Lennok is clearly an outside director of the cartel.

In terms of accumulated achievements, they have authority comparable to that of the president’s team.

As long as it has a direct line to the president, it is not that difficult to create a seat.

“I knew you had been active in the Balkans for a long time, but I didn’t expect you to be able to call out Oliviera Lone Maze yourself.”

Tatiana asked while looking around the scene of the collapsed library.

“Hey, it wouldn’t be strange for a wizard like you to be familiar with her in some way, but… … .”

“Looks like you’re interested in Oliviera.”

“what… … yes. Because she is a very different person from other mages.”

Tatiana frankly admitted.

“Even on the central front, where all kinds of monsters gather, there are almost no cases where the system is changed. Even at the risk of a drop in the hierarchy, throwing a gambler to process an innate ability… … He is an extraordinary person in many ways.”

“… … .”

Tatiana said, leaning on the shelf across from Lennok, as if reminiscing.

“She was said to have wandered the continent, but perhaps because of that, not a few people in the Magic Tower’s leadership remember her. I could sometimes hear her talk about her.”

It is not incomprehensible considering that Grishana, a shaman who moves from the blue eye, and the godmother of the Summoning Magic Tower, whom I met in the Hanghasa Labyrinth, mentioned her.

The fact that not a few sorcerers remember her is proof that the deeds of Oliviera in the past were intense and unique.

Even so, after returning to the Balkans after the trip, it is only natural that he looks unusual, as he is devoted to research while being trapped in a cartel.

Come to think of it, there were many things that I couldn’t understand in various ways in the officially announced activities of Oliviera.

“It’s not that I’m not interested in such rumors or stories… … .”

Lennok nodded, gently touching his left arm, which was covered by his coat.

“I don’t know if Oliviera will come in person. I have something to tell you, so I just told you to make room for her.”

“… … Did you just randomly ask me to meet you?”

“I told you that it was a Dead Rise issue, so the leadership will try to respond from that side as well.”

Lennok replied.

“Besides, I haven’t had much contact with the cartel lately… … I don’t even know if I still have a place left.”

“… … .”

As for the last time I met Oliviera, I had to go back to the time of the magic particle exposure in the closed area.

Lennok’s eyes sank deeply as he looked back at his memories.

‘I’m sure he still remembers what happened in the closed area.’

Closed Area 25 looked into Kaise’s past.

At that time when we dealt with a disaster with people from the past decades ago at a collapsed power plant.

Lennok met and clashed with Oliviera in the past, who had learned light magic, and finally got a dramatic cooperation.

At that time, Oliviera broke through the present and past timelines and even gave Lennok direct advice.

She must also know what choices her past self made and what kind of ending she met.

And at that point, Lennok had some understanding of what it meant to her to help out.

In the end, the ending that Oliviera Lone Maze wants is-

“… … half.”

“okay.”

At that moment, Lennok and Tatiana turned their gazes almost simultaneously to the intense sense of deja vu felt on the other side.

“Fortunately, it seems that he himself arrived.”

Charleung!!

With the sound of a small bell, a dazzling light rose from the other side of the collapsed city street.

At the same time, hundreds of attendants appeared from all over the ruins, forming a huge phosphorus curtain.

The empty city area is quickly filled with people, but there is a strange silence where no footsteps or voices can be heard.

coo!!

The moment when hundreds of attendants lined up all over the street, became the road by themselves, and put down the library at the destination.

Covered in five-colored silk, the shape of a palanquin slowly walking down towards this place from the end of the ruins appeared.

doo!!

Four red-skinned, muscular giants hold up their palanquins and walk towards the library.

Every time the goblin giant with a ferocious face that wasn’t even human in shape walked, the ground shook and grievous magic spewed out in a row in all directions.

Due to the impact of the palanquin’s approach, the magical pressure pressing down on the library became stronger, and just by standing in front of the library, the door was smashed and turned into a passage for the palanquin to enter and exit.

thud!

When the colorful palanquin enters, it seems that a bright light spreads over the dull lobby of the library.

The four red giants carrying palanquins slowly knelt down and lowered their shoulders.

The shape of the palanquin floated in the air just a little bit, as if it was just about to touch the ground.

At the same time, the dazzling kiln’s door burst open, revealing the landscape inside.

An empty picture frame placed inside a wide palanquin filled with colorful flowers.

Behind it, there was only one small doll with its head down, hugging the picture frame.

“What is this… … .”

The moment Tatiana frowned at the sense of incongruity. The doll with her head down let out a gun.

[It’s been a while since I’ve seen that shameless face, Kyeonroe.]

A calm and cool female voice coming from the doll.

The doll, which put down the picture frame it was holding, stood up lightly and slowly walked outside the palanquin.

Wearing a brilliant apparel and a veil that hides his face, he had a relaxed attitude covering his mouth with one hand.

Its appearance and gestures were no different from those in Lennok’s memory.

Except for the fact that the doll was so short that it didn’t even reach Lennok’s waist.

“… … I didn’t know you could shine your face in this way.”

After staring at the doll for a long time without speaking, Lennok laughed.

“Oliviera. Have you put your studies behind and fell in love with playing with dolls?”

An 8th-level archmage and president of the cartel, Oliveira Lone Maze.

One of the heads of the Three Heads and a wealthy man with the largest amount of capital and businesses in the shadows.

The reaper of the corporate federation, which cannot be left out when mentioning the shadows of megacities, did not ignore the message sent by Lennok.

However, instead of leading her body to this point, she sent down only this splendid palanquin and doll as a representative of her will.

Even while simultaneously deploying hundreds of attendants throughout the region to escort the palanquins and dolls.

[You’re the one who’s been doing that. In the meantime, you’ve become a much more difficult person to look at.]

Oliveira, borrowing the doll’s consciousness, snorted.

[To be able to comfortably enjoy an outing even after breaking each limb one by one, that kind of arrogant self-indulgence only makes me laugh.]

“… … .”

[I heard you came back after making a fuss in Machina too? Seeing that, it doesn’t seem like karma doesn’t exist at all.]

As soon as he saw the patient’s face wrapped around a cane and bandages, Lennok laughed bitterly at the reply that stabbed him.

“That one. If you can’t go out with your body, isn’t it more serious than me?”

[It’s a matter of procedure, not utility.]

The doll let out a leisurely cry through the veil.

[You’ll have to pay some attention to avoid trouble while shaving your inner side.]

Are you saying that because of the research you are doing personally, it is difficult for you to go outside directly?

Considering that he was walking outside without incident even at the time of the closed area incident, it would be correct to think that his condition has deteriorated rapidly recently.

Even so, he chose such a cumbersome method in order to receive contact from Lennok and have a direct conversation.

However, Lennok was more interested in the reason she uttered rather than Oliviera’s answer.

“Cut off the inside?”

[Will and desire have forms, and it is natural that they do not correspond to the purpose indicated by reason.]

the doll answered.

[Cutting out unnecessary parts creates an unintended direction, and if you process it well, you can consciously control coincidences.]

The doll, holding the swaying veil lightly with one hand, smiled.

[As always, I was just playing around with cause and effect. Other than that, I have nothing else to say.]

“… … .”

Lennok knew why Oliviera had chosen the Mystic Eye instead of the powerful light magic.

The failure of the Black Consumer Project.

At the end of the plan’s failure, she awakened Chilchaebo’s Mystic Eye and obtained its power.

As a result of risking a drop in hierarchy and twisting the system, she became an archmage who transcended the hierarchy with magic magic.

There is only one reason why he made such a huge sacrifice and threw a gambler.

It was because, through the ability of Chilchaebo’s Mystic Eye, he obtained the power to directly interfere with the concept of cause and effect.

At the time, I didn’t understand why Oliviera was so digging into that ability, but I think I understand a little bit now.

If it was to forcibly rewrite the end of a story that I had seen once.

If it is to change even the cause of the timeline where the result is determined.

Because it requires a sacrifice that throws everything away and a miracle that transcends mutual interest.

[I know, but it’s a situation where I can’t enjoy going out for a long time. If you show your will to the outside with a body like this, it will only be unpleasant.]

The doll kept its back straight and tilted its head back as if it were looking down on Lennok and Tatiana.

[So, please quickly clarify the reason for calling me. If you have been given the honorable position of outside director, so that you can fulfill your duties.]

Tatiana turned her head with an absurd expression.

“Is he really like this?”

“Something seems more arrogant than I remember… … .”

Lennok murmured, then nodded.

I understood that Oliviera was in a situation where she couldn’t step forward herself.

First of all, it would be a good idea to properly explain what has happened so far.

Lennok immediately explained that the Blaver Magic Tower and Dead Rise were working together to create a satellite that uses humans as materials.

Even the fact that Dead Rise’s executive, Peysha, has returned to Vulcan for him, and that the engine is under construction.

While mentioning the fact that he received help from Tatiana, he appropriately hides the inside story itself.

It took less than 2 minutes to say that he was planning to attack the satellite factory of Tentasion.

[Interesting story, but a few important facts are missing.]

As soon as I heard the story, Oliveira said.

[Gong-roe, you probably know what kind of place you mentioned.]

“… … .”

[They are bloated, so they are arrogant. They have subjectivity and action. I can’t move like this under such circumstances… … .]

The doll, which had just stepped back and sat on the palanquin, nodded.

[I guess I need more explanation. It seems that the wizard you brought is more deeply intertwined.]

Oliviera asked in a laughing tone.

[The Magic Tower of Fire is now trying to set foot in Balkan-]

“I plan to build a mage tower.”

The moment Lennok replied, the doll’s voice cut off.

“Through the deal with Tatiana, we met the necessary rights and conditions, and now all we have to do is announce it.”

The doll didn’t answer.

As if her consciousness had been cut off on the spot, she just stopped moving while sitting on the palanquin.

It was a little while later that Oliviera rang the bell again.

[Right. It’s a new mage tower… … .]

Oliveira, who was silently muttering the words, asked.

[Did the Central Council eventually hand over its authority to you?]

“Acquired authority through a deal with the chairman of the Senate of the Central Council.”

Lennok nodded.

“If you are acquainted with Madric Onion, you would know. They say it was originally given to only a few people, including him.”

There were several candidates including Onion and Lennok, but only Lennok was officially approved for the right to create the Mage Tower.

However, all of those candidates must have been ardent wizards who were able to pass on the magic system by building a mage tower themselves.

And from the time Lennok told this story, he had something he wanted to ask Oliviera about.

“Oliviera. Have you ever been invited by the Central Council to build a mage tower?”

Given that he wasn’t too surprised by Lennox’s words, it was certain that Oliveira was aware that the Central Council was presenting authority over the Mage Tower.

However, whether Oliviera has ever been offered that authority by the Central Council.

If so, Lennok wanted to know why Oliviera had rejected the offer and created the cartel.

[You’re interested in a boring fact.]

However, Oliviera shook her head while being cynical.

[Among the people involved in the project, only Onion has officially received the proposal.]

“Why?”

[It’s because there was only one person who could satisfy the conditions for building the Magic Tower. In the first place, among those involved at the time-]

The doll stopped talking as if it were trivial.

[…] … Yes, the past probably doesn’t matter. The fact that none other than you accepted the deal is just more interesting.]

Oliveira laughed.

[I knew I wasn’t interested from the time I left useless titles or rumors, but in the first place, I didn’t put any meaning to the job.]

“… … .”

The moment Lennok ignored that and tried to ask another question.

The doll nodded slowly.

[good night. But on the condition that you personally capture Paisha Grisburn and bring her to me.]

“Captured alive?”

[There is something I want to confirm with that demon-possessed murderer. Among the majors you have established on the central front, there are some that stand out… … .]

After saying that, Oliviera cut back with a single stroke.

[Let’s say it’s a personal matter. Will you accept?]

“no.”

Lennok shook his head.

“It’s rather not worth the unit price here. You don’t know how difficult it is.”

Demon of Dead Rise.

He is a transcendent spearman who fights by possessing the spirits of his ancestors, and is physically powerful enough to engage in a one-on-one battle with Antares.

It’s sure to be a tricky battle to deal with head-on, but the difficulty of dragging that lifeline in front of Oliviera will be on a completely different level.

It is an achievement that cannot be easily obtained by simply fighting well and killing well.

Oliveira also nodded as if she understood.

[yes. Then I must meet the conditions.]

“Meet the conditions?”

[They said they would build a magic tower. How about this?]

It felt like the doll’s eyes were curling round.

[I allow you to write my name in the hall of the magic tower you are going to build.]
