Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine Chapter 731

Mage and Mage Tower (8)

[Lucifer Fillion. The 2nd Secretary of the Balkan Senate. Former blood scribe manager.]

Blood-stained characters quickly surfaced on the pages of the Bloody Book.

The message, written without any emotion or agitation, revealed in front of the two without adding or subtracting the record of the human named Lucipos.

[Completion of the 95th curriculum of the Makina Archives, Second Class. In charge of recording and managing official documents in the early days of Balkan establishment. Retired after 35 years of service.]

“Hey, how is this… … !!”

Leaving Lupus, who could not hide his agitation, with his lips trembling, Lennok stared at the page with an expressionless face.

The reason why Lennok ignored him and entered the order, even though he explained that the blood record was an inaccessible type of information about previous managers.

It was because Lennok had already been given the personal information of the caretaker when he had questioned Kaise’s body before.

Even if it was information that was officially inaccessible, if it was the blood of Lennok, who was treated as an ascendant, he could read records that were not permitted.

That alone was enough to destroy Luciforce’s confidence that he had dealt with the blood register, and to dig into the base of that knowledge.

[The period of service as the manager of Blood Records was 5 years. Later, the manager’s authority was transferred to Madeleine.]

[The most searched record at the time was about how to become a vampire.]

“Oh, no!!”

Luciforce rushed towards the notebook with a collapsed expression, but was blocked by an invisible curtain and stopped.

Lennok spread a shield right next to him, blocking his movement.

With Luciforce desperately beating the surface of the shield, Lennok checked the information written on the next page.

[Attempted homologous bloodsucking several times and periodically left related records.]

“Right.”

Only then did Lennok laugh, realizing why Luciforce was so obsessed with blood.

“Did you find a way to become a vampire and leave a record of it in the Blood Chronicles? That’s why you’ve been sensitive to the existence of this thing.”

“… … .”

The reason why he vaguely avoided answering even though he said he knew about the project. The attitude that was strangely obsessed with blood writing.

Luciforce was more interested in Lennok’s blood register than the project in the first place.

Perhaps, at the time of serving as the manager of Blood Records, he felt the limitations of his birth and learned how to do it.

That’s why it’s understandable if you’re sure that fellow human Lennok can’t handle blood registers properly, and you’ve tried to influence him.

“But I didn’t know that they sucked the blood of the same human and left a record. Is a powerful person with a career like yours driven to the point of clinging to such hopes?”

Although Rayan Aiter, a blood mage who works for Lennok’s company, became a vampire, it was only possible because of several coincidences.

In general, even if an ordinary human becomes a vampire, it is difficult to enjoy longevity and eternal life like the real one.

Since Luciforce also knew that, he must have tried to become a vampire in a way different from what was known to the world.

But despite Lennok’s cynicism, Lucifer’s shoulders trembled and he quietly shook his head.

“It is my turn to ask questions. Please remove the barrier.”

“I will.”

At the words of Luciforce, who gave up any excuses or answers, Lennok slowly removed the shield.

Not everyone involved in the project was driven by a noble duty or mission.

Among them, there must have been a considerable number of people who participated in the project for extremely personal reasons, greed, or personal motives.

What Kaise did was not gathering people who had the same faith as himself, but more like gathering talented people who could never be united under the name of ending.

It wouldn’t be strange if the people involved after his death split up in this way, each trying to survive.

Lucipos, who kept his mouth shut, wrote a letter in blood on the blood register.

Not to ask Lennok a question, but to ask a question about the blood record itself.

Does that mean that he couldn’t understand the answer of the blood record right now?

[Why did Pohyeolgong allow outsiders to view information? According to the contract, you would have assumed this situation and set the authority in advance, right?]

[…] … .]

However, the blood record did not answer Lucipos’ question.

A subtle reaction, as if he was deliberately delaying his answer.

Lucifer wrote the text again without waiting for Lennok.

[As a former janitor, I have the right to hear back. to answer the above question.]

[We recognize that the holder of the blood is Administrator Lucipos Fillion.]

[Then why don’t you answer?]

no answer comes back It’s as if he doesn’t respond to Luciforce’s question.

Luciforce’s expression, which was quickly recollecting his memories, turned blank in an instant.

“Stop, please… … .”

The first command that Lennok gave right before using the Blood Scrambler.

[Zebel. Just answer my question without unnecessary modifiers.]

According to that order, the blood scribe Zibel was literally only responding to Lennok’s question.

It is an unbelievable reality that Lennok’s existence has a higher priority within the Blood Chronicle than Lucipos, who was the clerk’s manager.

Leaving behind Lucipos who stumbled backwards, Lennok said.

“You made a mistake entering the command. It will be difficult to answer the question now.”

Once entered, the record cannot be modified until the blood register stops working.

As it is, even if Luciforce writes down a question on the blood registrant, the blood registrant will no longer respond.

However, Lupus looked at him with a rather dejected expression at Lennok’s words.

“mistake? There’s no way you’ve made any mistakes at this point. Didn’t you try to end the question and answer with this and leave room at all?”

“I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”

“At the point of showing the blood register, he must have wanted to make sure of ownership. He must have thought of checking which one had the upper hand.”

“… … .”

It is extremely unlikely that the wizard will end the transaction simply by mistakenly entering the command.

From the time he first wrote down the command, he must have intended to use Luciforce’s knowledge to find out how far the command would work.

As a result, Lucipos even spit out the fact that the writer of the blood book was a blood gunner, and that the project officials signed a contract with him.

After confirming that point, Lennok rejected Luciforce’s question with the set command, forcibly ending the question and answer at an early point.

“I guess we decided that if we dig out more of each other here, there wouldn’t be any particular benefit.”

The chief clerk’s decrepit eyes flashed.

“You are already convinced that you can do it yourself. yes?”

“well… … However, it is not wrong to say that I have no intention of relying on it.”

Lennok did not particularly affirm or deny Lucipos’ words.

Rather, with his arms crossed, he only caught the gaze of an old man approaching strongly from the front.

“Blood Scribe’s ability seems quite useful, but its limits are also clear.”

“what… … ?”

“Because it is a recording device and a tool for searching, in the end, we have no choice but to select and display only cross-sectional information. That’s why they mislead the truth.”

After saying that, Lennok slowly approached Lucipos and said.

Without using any magic power, the chief clerk’s body stiffened just by placing his hand on his shoulder.

Lennok put his hand on the old man’s shoulder and whispered softly in his ear.

“The project officials you met here. Wouldn’t it have been alive in the first place?”

“… … !!!”

“You said that the purpose of the rendezvous itself was the murder of a project official, but that alone doesn’t explain why other rendezvous didn’t appear here together.”

Lennok said, looking into Lucifer’s trembling eyes.

“It seems that the contact in Area 6 itself was a schedule to hand over the body of the murdered official.”

The meeting between the project officials in District 6, which was told by the Bloody Book Jable.

However, the information did not say that the officials contacted were alive.

The reason Luciforce showed up alone even after recognizing the existence of Lennok.

The reason why other officials did not appear even though the purpose of the contact itself was to discuss the murder of the person concerned.

Wouldn’t it be established because the other contact person I met here in the first place was the person who had already been killed.

An error that is easy to overlook if you don’t search with exact conditions.

But that must have happened because Jable wasn’t really alive, but rather because he was more like a search device.

Lennok asked about Lucipos, who couldn’t answer.

“The body of a murdered project official. Are you here?”

* * *

A reference room located quite deep inside District 6.

A hidden room behind an underground refrigerated archive that is strictly managed because it stores old documents.

“As far as I know, there is no such thing as a close bond between project members.”

Lennok, who was walking behind the secretary, said.

“There were quite a few cases where they were hostile to each other, or rather burned with hatred. You probably don’t have a deep relationship with the person who was murdered either.”

“… … .”

“Then why did you go out to retrieve the body of the person concerned?”

“As you said, the project is completely finished. You can’t even say they’re standing in the same place anymore.”

Lucifer replied weakly.

“There are quite a few cases of killing and hostile to each other. But the reason I collected his body was… … .”

Squeak… … !!

Lucifer muttered as he opened the door.

“Because he could never die.”

“… … .”

A dark-colored coffin in the middle of a cramped closed room.

What lay beneath the coffin was no ordinary human corpse.

It barely maintains its human form, but the rotting skin and bone fragments exposed here and there are grotesque.

The appearance of a corpse as if it had been hacked to pieces by someone.

But instead of frowning at the corpse’s appearance, Lennok moved closer and quietly examined its condition.

“Corrupted skin and crumbling bones… … An impressive feature, but not a direct cause.”

Instead of touching it directly with his hand, Lennok, who quietly stared at the figure with his demonic eyes slightly open, said.

“I put a splint on my shin and stuffed cotton under my collarbone. Evidence of self-awareness of one’s condition and effort to appear normal. It seems to have maintained its appearance for a long time.”

Lennok looked down at the corpse and tilted his head slowly.

A shape close to a corpse. Even so, it is a species of life that can move around with intelligence.

The reason Luciforce defined this person’s death itself as a special event and retrieved the body.

It was because even in Lennok’s memory, a word indicating a similar state existed.

“It’s a ghoul. yes?”

asked Lennok, without waiting for the chief clerk’s answer.

“The end of the commander-type or military command-type magicians. It becomes a body that can neither die nor live, and becomes a monster that covets the spirit and body of the living.”

“… … .”

At the time of the interim settlement of Pandaemonium, Lenok had dealt with the ghouls that roamed the satellite city of Bairutz.

Although it was relatively easy to deal with it using the highest level artifact of the Holy Spirit, Archangel’s Compassion,

That foreign energy and the hunger that filled both eyes are not easily forgotten.

However, he did not expect to encounter the corpse of a ghoul in the secret room in District 6, where the archives are kept.

Looking at the body of the ghoul that had completely stopped moving, Lennok murmured.

“I have heard that the soul dwells in a corpse buried in an aura-filled area and is formed, but if you are involved in the project, the possibility is low… … .”

Lennok looked away.

“Did you decide to retrieve the body of a ghoul that shouldn’t die because he died?”

“… … That’s right.”

Lupus nodded with a firm expression.

“Because Grimulder, more than anyone else involved, should have died. Everyone understood its importance. Because of him, he was able to be recognized as an exception.”

“… … Grimalder?”

The message given by Jable, the blood writer, when explaining where Kaise’s body was hidden.

[The location was selected with the cooperation of the Blood Lord, and the storage method was decided with the advice of Grimulder.]

Could this ghoul be Grimulder, the person who sought advice on how to store the corpse?

On the contrary, Lucifer’s eyebrows wriggled at Lennok’s words.

“You know about Grimulder. Have you ever met him?”

“I know you gave advice on how to store Kaise’s body.”

“… … ”

“It’s just that the fact that you’re a ghoul bothers me. Perhaps Kaise’s corpse was also in the same way… … .”

Lennok, frowning, asked Lucipos, but stopped talking when he saw his reaction.

As soon as he heard Lennok’s words, Lucifer’s face was as pale as a corpse’s, and he couldn’t even breathe.

Lennok also intuited that it was a precursor to the activation of life-threatening restraints.

Just this conversation alone had reached the point where the ban was activated and the chief secretary was entangled.

It must be because the questions about Kaise’s death are themes that run through the secret history of the project.

“… … hmm.”

Lennok, who was worried, sighed and put his hand on Luciforce’s shoulder.

As the mana rotated and flowed into the chief secretary’s body, the old man’s stiff body slowly relaxed.

“omg… … !! Cool!!”

The appearance of the chief secretary, who stumbled and leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.

said Lennok, looking at Lucipos with his arms crossed.

“Since you forcibly stimulated your nervous system and relaxed your muscles, it would be difficult for you to stand upright.”

“… … !!”

“It will be hard to see a good look if you directly touch the gold, so let’s stop talking about this. Tell me more about Grimulder.”

But even as he said that, Lennok was thinking about how he was able to get his hands on this information.

How they decided to store Kaise’s body. How did Grimulder’s advice go into the process?

Lennok obtained this information by searching the blood scribe jivel.

However, if Luciforce was banned just by being aware of this fact, why was Bloodsporter able to inform Lennok of this fact?

‘Blood Scribe said that it had disappeared decades ago and was recreated.’

If the process of being destroyed and recreated once was a way to avoid the invocation of the ban.

If this information was passed on to Lennok, in fact, it was information-sharing for other ascendants, not Lennok.

What if the writer, Pohyeolgong, recreated the blood record to convey this fact to the ascendants to avoid the ban?

“… … .”

It’s an interesting hypothesis, but it’s a question that can’t be answered right away.

“Grimulder, more than any of us, should have died, but he feared death more than any of us.”

Leaning weakly against the wall, Lucipos with a cane said.

“So I learned necromancy and accepted the job of becoming a ghoul myself. That he was killed like this… … .”

A ghoul is a monster on the border between life and death.

What does it mean that the death of the body has already passed, and only the soul has killed the living being?

“It’s not Grimulder’s body, but his soul itself has been annihilated.”

“… … That’s all I have to say. Feel free to look at his body if you want.”

Lucipos, who stood up helplessly, shook his head and turned his back.

After realizing that he had been pushed out of his authority over the blood register, he seemed to have lost all motivation.

“How Grimulder was murdered, or what happened to him, is no longer my business.”

“Is it because you hold the position of chief secretary?”

“okay… … It was like that then too.”

Lucifer laughed helplessly.

“Because my job was to watch, record, and preserve.”

“… … .”

After that, the chief secretary staggered and left the secret room first.

Is it because it is his remaining duty to retrieve and preserve the records of the project, so he put them here?

The idea of ​​storing Grimulder’s corpse in Area 6, where old documents are kept, was terrifying at first glance, but

Lennok knew that this was a common sense of alienation among those involved in the project.

“The death of a ghoul… … .”

Where on this continent can you cleanly touch and annihilate only the spirit, leaving only the body behind?

Lennok thought that far, and took out a monocle from within his bosom and placed it over one eye.

An artifact that allows you to see the magical projection differently, given to you by Mila as a half-bribe.

Looking back at Grimulder’s corpse through him, I could see the pattern of the previously invisible pattern on the nape of his neck.

It is as small as a coin, but the sophistication of the patterns drawn on it is beyond imagination.

A beautiful curve, as if the waves of a howling ghost were compressed dozens of times and rushed.

The shape of an unrecognizable ancient letter that exists under the pattern.

Lennok immediately picked up the blood register and copied the text directly into it.

[There is one interpretation version record. Would you like to read?]

I cut off the deal with Luciforce at an early point, so I still have one chance left.

In other words, for the time being, this is the last clue that can be found through the blood record.

But that one search was enough.

[The night trip is not over yet, and the road to being a ghost is long and difficult.]

The moment the bloodstained text floated across the page, Lennok knew immediately who had killed Grimulder.

[Since we have punished the criminals who have played with the cause, we will put the end to the world for all to see.]

“Gunryeong City… … .”

Yorta is a military city that collects all the spirits and curses of this world.

There, someone murdered a person involved in an already failed project and stole his soul.
