Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine Chapter 725

Wizard and Mage Tower (2)

The Egg of the Guardian Spirit, which appeared at the same time as the domain was declared, and began to crack upon recognizing Lennok’s voice.

As soon as he heard about the existence of the guardian spirit guarding the tower, Lennok remembered something.

Blaver’s 7th Mage Master’s Phoenix War. The shape of the small fire bird that formed the consciousness body.

Was it born as a guardian spirit right after the sarira melted into the engine?

But before that, Lennok knew he had questions to ask Tatiana.

“Tatiana. Was there a Guardian Spirit at the headquarters of the Blaver Magic Tower?”

“… … There used to be, but I heard it was destroyed due to the war.”

Tatiana answered as she recalled.

“But I’ve seen the guardian spirits of other magic towers twice. Spiritual beasts subordinate to the venerable Mage Tower are treated like tactical weapons.”

If it is an intelligent body that is born at the same time as the formation of the sphere, it is an existence that was born from the concentration of strong will and magical power.

If it’s a spirit beast like that, the growth potential and potential will be on a different level than ordinary creatures.

However, Lennok knew that there were facts to be confirmed before the combat power or value of the Guardian Spirit.

“How does it feel? Speaking of spiritual beasts, can you think of them as being similar to spirit bodies?”

If the being that awakens within that egg is one born out of Lennok’s self-consciousness, he might have to get the others to flee right now.

It wouldn’t be strange if the aggregate of pure intentions unprocessed by Lennok’s reason and experience regarded everything around him as an enemy.

Tatiana also quickly opened her mouth, probably feeling Lennok’s sense of urgency.

“It is a little different from the spirit body. Instead of being subordinate to the realm, they say they have a strong and high intelligence from birth.”

“… … .”

“As much as it is born with the formation of a region, it is said that its characteristics are clearly different depending on the underlying idea… … .”

“It’s the foundational idea… … .”

While Lennok thought so and slowly raised his mana, other colleagues noticed the crack in the egg and started approaching.

“Oh, wake up!!”

“Give me something to eat. You might as well take it!”

“There are small fish that came out of catching tuna. If this is okay… … .”

“Why are you carrying that?”

“It’s okay, so give it to me!”

Dylan, who caught a fish among his colleagues who were making a fuss on all sides, approached the egg with crab steps.

thug, thud… … !!

The moment Dylan held out the head of the fish against the surface of the cracked egg, and Lennok heightened his senses.

Something protruded from the egg shell and swallowed Dylan’s body in an instant.

snap!!

The figure snapped Dylan as a whole fish and left it behind, disappearing again like lightning through the cracks in the shell.

The egg shuddered faintly, and strange noises began to be heard within it.

[Hororok.]

“… … .”

It’s like putting something in your mouth and rolling it around.

Everyone, including Lennok, stared blankly at the cracked eggshell with their mouths open.

“… … Van, what should I do?”

“Should I save him?”

“a little bit… … wait.”

Lennok was speechless, then answered quietly.

From the moment something protruded from the egg and swallowed Dylan, he began to feel the emotions of that egg little by little.

As it is a realm that Lennok himself declared, it may be something that the subordinates of it can also recognize naturally.

To put it bluntly, the sharing of feelings close to the sympathy of intention.

And right now, Yeongsu, who was wriggling inside that egg, felt only one emotion.

“At least it doesn’t seem like the intent to kill. If you have to ask… … .”

“If you ask me?”

“It’s close to gluttony.”

“Appetite…?”

At the moment Lennok muttered, the egg vibrated as if he had eaten something he shouldn’t have eaten.

Before long, something twitched through the cracks in the egg, teeth baring and spitting out something.

[Two.]

iron pudduck!!

“Wow!!”

The image of Dylan thrown to the ground with his whole body drenched in saliva.

Only the fish in his hand had disappeared neatly, but surprisingly the appearance looked fine.

Dylan, covered in sticky saliva, rubbed my face in a panic.

“This, it chewed me up and spit it out!!”

“Dylan. calm down.”

“What happened inside?”

Others, too, stunned by the absurdity, quickly approached Dylan.

Dylan immediately regained his composure and responded with a timid expression.

“The space inside the egg is a little wider than it looks. It seems to be connected to other spaces… … .”

“… … .”

“Something was just rolling me and I just took out the fish. At first I didn’t think it was saliva.”

Only then did the mercenaries, who understood the situation, look back at Al with an absurd expression.

“So this guy thought Dylan was inedible waste and spit it out.”

“You have a more normal appetite than I thought. No, is that normal?”

“Looking at you eating Dylan and enduring, you seem to have a surprisingly good stomach.”

“These bastards. Do you think you wouldn’t know if I made an excuse and cursed at me?”

Jenny said, neatly ignoring the mercenaries fighting and punching each other.

“About this, Ban is absolutely right. It’s an appetite… … .”

Jenny lifted her phone and nodded at Lennok.

“Then let’s feed it once until you’re satisfied.”

Soon after, a truck arrived in front of the construction site.

A mountain of tuna fish piled up in a net on top of a truck.

The mercenaries and employees carried the tuna on their own and lined up in front of the eggs.

The moment you bring the tuna into the crack of the egg, the fish disappears as if being sucked in.

[Yum Yum.]

“Oh, eat!!”

“You seem to be eating better than before.”

He licks his lips in satisfaction and happily shakes a large egg from side to side.

[It sucks.]

“… … You know, you’re cuter than you think.”

“Now, eat more. But can it be tamed with such expensive food?”

“If it’s half of Youngsoo, it’s okay because it’s an expensive body. Move quickly!!”

The mercenaries also poured bundles of tuna as if possessed by the reaction.

Young-soo stopped shaking the eggs as if he was satisfied only after getting rid of all the tuna in the truck.

Only then did the mercenaries, who took a breather, spoke with a trembling expression.

“But this bastard doesn’t seem to want to come out of the egg even after eating like this.”

“When they feed, they come out for a while, but they hardly move. How fast are you?”

“Are you shy despite your size?”

“The leader of the class?”

silence.

The colleagues who looked back at Lennok in silence agreed among themselves.

“It can’t be.”

Lennok frowned.

“That is a strangely unpleasant word… … .”

“Maybe there’s a reason why it can’t come out of the egg.”

“If it was going to come out soon, wouldn’t it have appeared as an egg in the first place?”

“It may need an incubation period.”

The appearance of the mercenaries discussing with more fervor and sincerity than Lennok. It seems that he became interested in the moment he was feeding them.

But Lennok had a rough guess as to why Youngsu didn’t come out of the egg.

The emotion felt through the agreement of intention is more annoying than shameful. Because it was close to annoyance.

But before that, Lennok was thinking about what was bothering him about Young-soo.

‘The appearance he showed when he swallowed Dylan. It didn’t look like a bird.’

If the spirit of the Phoenix Hall melted intact and was born as a guardian spirit tree, it would have to be in the shape of a huge phoenix.

However, the appearance that I instantly felt through magic detection seemed a little different from that of the Phoenix.

It is difficult to know because it moves so fast and its appearance is not easily felt through the eggshell, but if its appearance has changed, what is the reason?

Perhaps it is because the order underlying this realm is not flame magic, but the Ouroboros magic system created by Lennok.

A strangely strong appetite and a laid-back attitude that did not come out of the egg.

Considering the principle pursued by the Ouroboros magic system and the philosophy of the Phoenix Hall, which is the basis, there is a part that is convincing.

While Lennok was immersed in his thoughts with his arms crossed, a large egg suddenly began to creep towards Lennok.

“Hey, move.”

“Now Al is wriggling around.”

“hmm?”

A large egg stood next to Lennok, right next to Lennok’s shoulder, rubbing the eggshell.

A gesture that seemed to show blatant friendliness.

After satisfying his appetite, did he recognize Lennok and greet him in his own way?

[Hmm, hmm… … ]

And, Darby, who had been watching the whole situation in her arms until now, flapped her tail.

A cyber spirit who tries hard to pretend to be calm, but can’t hide his agitation.

It was wagging its tail so violently that the front of Lennok’s coat bulged out.

Seeing Darby glancing at the egg while frantically flapping its ears and tail, Lennok smiled and patted his head.

Darby probably didn’t expect that there would be a new Youngsu like this.

Lennok continued to caress the eggshell, and only then did the egg step back and lie flat as if satisfied.

The figure of Al, who stumbled a few times and then stopped moving.

“Have you ever laid a boat?”

[snoring.]

“… … .”

“…was asleep.”

Did he fall asleep after eating his fill and acting cute a few times?

Mila muttered with an absurd expression.

“Maybe it’s because he’s class leader, he’s better than I thought… … .”

“If it’s an intelligence subject to the domain, at least this area can move freely.”

Lennok said that and winked at Jenny.

“For now, let’s move the eggs to the basement of the company building. Leaving it here will interfere with the construction schedule.”

“Is that right?”

After calling the workers to load the egg into the truck and disappearing, Lennok and the others cleaned up the place after the signboard hanging ceremony.

Wei An, who was cleaning the construction site with a broom, glanced curiously at the engine floating overhead.

“It’s really amazing. Doesn’t it matter where the tower’s engine is installed?”

“Because it is the engine that serves as the power to build the tower’s consciousness space and authority, and to maintain it.”

Tatiana answered Jenny’s question.

“On the contrary, it is abnormal to see it with the naked eye like this now. Over time, it will completely melt into the realm, and you will only be able to face it in the ceremonial space.”

“hmm… … .”

“It’s a rare event that can only be seen now.”

“Can I take a picture?”

“Did this bastard finally go mad while catching tuna?”

“It looks like you drank too much sea water?”

As Dylan and the other mercenaries bicker, Lennok hovers in silence, staring at the spinning engines.

A golden serpent rotates like a ring around a small black sun that is blazing black.

Lennok looked at it blankly, then nodded.

“good. Let’s take a picture.”

“what?”

“As expected, Ban knows something!! This kind of thing should be recorded!!”

“Not because of that.”

Lennox laughed at the triumphant Dylan.

“I plan to use that as the symbol of the tower in the future. You will need a pattern or symbol that can represent the tower at official events.”

Since the establishment of the Mage Tower itself was carried out with permission from the Senate of the Central Council, the Senate should be informed separately after the work is over.

At that time, we need the symbol and name of the tower that can be submitted even nominally.

Jenny immediately asked if she had noticed what Lennok was saying.

“name is? Have you decided now?”

“well. I have a name in mind, but… … .”

There are many reasons for building the Mage Tower, but the biggest motivation is to properly establish the Ouroboros magic system in the form of learning.

Aside from the various benefits that can be gained in the process and the geographical advantage, it is clear that the essence of the tower is an educational institution.

Receiving the expectant stares from the others, Lennok laughed.

“There is no need to decide quickly. Any other good ideas?”

* * *

“Priestess Seina.”

Hearing the voice quietly calling her name from behind, the priestess slowly looked away.

Stained glass that shines beautifully in the sunlight.

In the spacious cathedral decorated like a pure white palace, only the voices of believers calling her resounded.

“The preparations for the ceremony are complete.”

“… … It does. I just finished praying.”

The priestess stood up slowly, tidying up her long robe and pacing her steps.

Behind the priestess as she walked through the spacious corridors of the cathedral, a disciple followed quietly.

The warm sunlight of midday.

The voices of children coming from under the cathedral and the prayers of believers.

The believer standing behind the priestess who was watching the worshipers praising and worshiping the owner of the church outside the window warmed up.

“Goddess.”

“We talk here.”

“… … yes?”

The priestess said quietly, looking at the peaceful scene of the cathedral.

“It’s nothing compared to nature, but I like the atmosphere of the chancel branch.”

“… … .”

“A world where faith becomes someone’s salvation… … It must have started all this for the sake of a landscape like this, not for a great temple.”

“What do you mean, I’m… … .”

The priestess shook her head, ignoring the embarrassed attendant’s answer.

“Agrissa never interrupts me when I am praying. Do you know?”

“… … .”

“After I was baptized, I stopped calling myself that way.”

The priestess laughed.

“The Church is changing little by little, Kamrodal. If you try to imitate it clumsily with only memories from the past, you will be caught soon.”

[…] … Right.]

At that moment, a dismal voice flowed from the neck of the attendant standing behind the priestess.

In stark contrast to the peaceful scene seen outside the window, a creaking voice in a damp swamp.

[I apologize if it bothered you. In the past, I was not allowed to see a noble priestess except in this way.]

The voice sounded awkward, like a giant cephalopod forcibly rubbing slime into flesh, but the priestess wasn’t surprised.

Because I already knew who was talking to her right here and now.

Kamrodal, the 8th Apostle of the Order.

The eighth incarnation that inherited the power of a foreign god, and one of the few monsters among the apostles who maintains a sound mind.

However, the priestess was not shaken by Kamrodal’s voice and immediately asked back.

“Borrowing the form of Agritsa, does that mean you sacrificed her?”

The apostrophe he uses, Kamrodal’s doll, is the power to create an alter ego that replicates the memories and consciousness of a specific human being.

However, as with other sadistic spells, it has been decided that it is a forbidden spell to be used for human sacrifice.

That’s why, when Kamrodal appeared in the form of an attendant, he knew that she might not be safe.

However, Kamrodal gave a low laugh at the priestess’ question.

[Don’t worry. I have no intention of playing pranks with the attendant that the priestess cherishes.]

“… … .”

[You are one of the few remaining priests who represent His divinity… … How could I go against that will?]

Kamrodal moved her doll and bowed gracefully.

[The need for sacrifices is when lending spells to other followers. At this rate, your attendant will not die.]

A soft voice as if trying to reassure the priestess.

However, the priestess did not feel relieved or shaken by Kamrodal’s words.

“You mean it could be worse than dying.”

[well. How about that?]

Kamrodal neither affirmed nor denied.

Instead, he just stood next to the priestess with a languid tone and looked out the window.

[But surely you are very different from Nydri. The former priestess is much more than this… … It was the eager side.]

“Are you going to tell me I’m not ready?”

[No way. What about the priestess who guides the sacrifices of nature?]

Kamrodal laughed slowly.

[I’m not questioning your qualifications. It is a difference in attitude toward divinity.]

“… … .”

[Easel Naidry wanted to constantly intervene in the future and destiny of the church while perfectly performing the duties of a priestess. Her attitude was of great help to the church that held the holy war at the time.]

For the first time, the doll turned her eyes and looked at the priestess.

The doll’s pupils were dyed black, leaving not even the whites of the eyes, bizarrely changed, like the eyes of an insect.

[But you are different. Aside from the duties of a priestess, she has no interest in the church’s affairs. As if the Church now knows what attitude to take… … .]

“… … .”

[Even though they downloaded the same divinity, they are so different. Was even this coincidence arranged by Him? I can’t help but wonder… … .]

It wasn’t until after hearing the monologue of the 8 apostles muttering that the priestess realized what he thought of her.

Kamrodal did not show favor to each of the priestesses, nor did he particularly like or dislike them.

He just believes in his own god and sincerely wonders about the difference between the priestesses that have been passed down from generation to generation.

He refrained from being bound by the rules of the church, but given the opportunity, he would not hesitate at all to try to satisfy his curiosity.

“Camrodal. Won’t you tell me why you came to see me now?”

[…] … ah.]

Only then did Kamrodal make an awkward noise and stop the doll.

After a while, he came back creaking like a toy.

[I’m sorry. Was the chatter too long?]

“Undeniably.”

[yes… … To be honest, this doll isn’t really me. To put it bluntly, it is a copy of my memory and will. That’s why it seems that my true intentions have spilled out inadvertently, so please forgive me.]

“i know.”

the priestess replied.

“That’s why you keep your sanity even among the apostles.”

The insanity that inevitably comes to the apostles who have inherited the power of foreign gods.

There is only a difference in degree, but in the end, everyone eats away at their own humanity and becomes a monster that has lost its reason.

There are only about five apostles in the church who can be said to have completely escaped from that restraint.

And Kamrodal was the only one among the 2 apostles who had a single digit figure, who kept reason intact.

He divided his consciousness and memories infinitely and divided them into dolls, and imitated an ascendant to escape from madness.

Even among the same apostles, there were some who tried to stop madness by imitating Kamrodal, but all of them failed and rather quickly turned into beasts.

However, Kamrodal had never shared his secrets with the same apostles even though he knew that.

“… … .”

A being who serves the same God, has the same faith, and works for the church, but cannot be trusted.

While the priestess was silently recording the fact, Kamrodal spoke again.

[As you may have already guessed, this is a job on the central front.]

“I understand that the truce agreement with the Order Federation has already been discussed.”

The priestess answered.

“Hasn’t everything been decided already, from the timing of the preemptive strike to the end of the offensive?”

[Blazer Mage Lord laid down all authority and duties and declared an indefinite break.]

“… … .”

[Since the tower owner who supplied the power to the first gate has stepped down, the gate will be closed for a while.]

After belatedly understanding the meaning, the priestess’ expression slightly changed.

“That means… … .”

[If you want to enter the front line without going through the gateway from the star complex branch where you are now, you will have to pass Jinwa’s Paradise Lost.]

said Kamrodal in a laughing voice.

[Wouldn’t it be great if the noble priestess became an apostle of the fallen ascendant without knowing anything?]

“… … .”

Despite Kamrodal’s words, the priestess quickly organized her thoughts and asked again.

“The pagoda owner was the first to recognize the value of the gateway. The fact that such a schemer gave up his authority at this point and stepped down… … .”

[It must be because there is a problem with his personal affairs or hierarchy that can never be ignored.]

Kamrodal nodded and replied.

[Now that Ganjab, who powered the gate and maintained a neutral position on the front line, is gone, everyone will reach out to get their hands on the gate.]

“I must prepare.”

[Can it be done in parallel with the war against the Order Federation?]

“it’s okay.”

Saying that, the priestess looked out the window.

“Here at the cluster branch, we found a candidate.”

[…] … candidate?]

“yes.”

Looking at the group of children running around in the distance, the priestess’s eyes cooled down in an instant.

“I found a child with the aptitude of the 10 Apostles.”
