Genius Wizard Who Eats Medicine Chapter 784

Ghost Tour (10)

The moment I showed the ring of the guide, a group of white demons stopped everything and approached all at once.

As promised, there is no emotion in their messages leading and guiding the ship.

Just as if guiding Lennok and the ship he was on had to be a priority.

A procession of ghosts moving all at once, leaving other passengers behind on this dark river.

Lennok was lost in thought, feeling the intense, blatant stares around him.

‘I’m sure they reacted to the Ring of the Guide, but I don’t think it’s a positive sign… … .’

Abnormal behavior of the hundred demons and an abnormal situation in which the entire order of inspection was disturbed.

Considering that it drew attention unnecessarily, it is unlikely that this situation itself will help Lennok in the long run.

But even so, Lennok’s reaction was very calm.

The priestess must have felt it as well, and she did not resist the decision of the hundred demons and stared blankly at Lennok, who entrusted the boat to her.

[You. Did you ever think things would turn out like this from the beginning?]

“Because of the existence of the ring, things will be easier if I can contact the Yorta leadership.”

Lennok replied, leaning against the deck posts.

“If there is room for negotiation, we might be able to enter the memorial tower directly through a deal.”

At the point of obtaining the Ring of the Guide with Sabrina’s help, Lennok guessed that this ring was a pretty important item for Yorta.

If this ring is one of the relics or treasures lost in Yorta, as Lennok thinks.

It was only natural that they would discuss the treatment of Lennok, who entered Yorta with that information.

If he could meet the leaders who control all of Yorta right now, he might be able to quickly achieve Lennok’s goal.

So, rather, Lennok was hoping for attention during the interrogation process.

The priestess also immediately understood Lennok’s answer, but she shook her head in disbelief.

[Even if you are lucky enough to meet the leaders of Yorta in person, the chances of proper negotiations are low.]

“Does not matter. In the worst case, it is enough to secure only the personal information.”

said Lennok with a low laugh.

“As long as we check who the ruler of this city is, we can come up with any number of methods.”

[hmm… … .]

The priestess, who was looking at Lennok with an indescribable expression, nodded as if she understood.

[This is an answer that goes well with the magician of Pandemonium. understand.]

“That’s not what I want to hear from the head of the church.”

While Lennok and the priestess undermined each other’s affiliations, the white ghosts began to guide and guide the boat to the depths of the river.

=… … .gooooh… … !!

Beyond the infinitely deep and dark river, a huge drawbridge that glows dimly comes into view.

The entire drawbridge was rusted and covered with moss and barnacles, as if it had been submerged for a very long time.

The thick chains creaked and swayed, then changed course for Lennok’s ferry and swept the river.

Chow ah!!

The figure of a ferryboat moving downward along the water of the Headlane River, where the water level drops in an instant.

“… … for a moment.”

Instantly noticing the abnormality, Lennok’s expression hardened slightly.

The priestess said as she looked at Lennok, who was rapidly generating magic and detecting the surrounding scenery.

[You seem to have noticed. Now we are not heading to the center of Yorta.]

“The water level is too low.”

Lennok murmured.

“Considering the principle of Mangwi Night Travel, the important stairs must be located at a relatively high level.”

Through a conversation with Onion in Madrid, Lennok knew what the Mangwiyahaha was conceptually like.

A magnificent night scene that guides the soul and builds the procession endlessly on top of the memorial tower.

However, that means that in order to travel at night, you have to endlessly pile up the waves of your soul above the sky.

Considering that the memorial tower in Yoreta is a structure built to serve that role, the city’s core stairway should be located at a high altitude.

But now, the Ten Demons guiding Lennok’s ferryboat are guiding Lennok down, lowering the water level of the river instead of increasing the altitude.

The moment Lennok felt a bit ominous about that fact and grabbed the bow.

Chow!!

In front of my eyes, the dark black river splits into two sides, revealing the landscape beyond the waterway.

A huge cavity filled with river water.

A black altar was built in the center, and about a dozen spiritual bodies stood on it, looking down at it.

Like a judge standing on water, Lenok on the boat looked up at the altar.

“Ah, you’re here.”

cooong!

Atop a pitch-black throne in the center of the altar, a young boy sat looking down at Lennok.

“Yorta Memorial Tower. Welcome to the Grand Judgment Hall on the first floor of the basement.”

“… … .”

The boy’s figure swayed indistinctly as if it melted into thin air, swaying like a ghost.

A boy perched high up as if looking down on Lenok, and seven spirit bodies surrounding him.

A chilling space, as if it were prepared not to guide nobles, but to pass judgment on criminals.

The moment when Lennok suddenly raised his gaze when he intuited that something had gone wrong.

“You are the one who brought the Ghost of the Guide.”

The boy’s ghost said in a cold voice.

“I never thought that the ring would return to Yorta at this point.”

“… … .”

“The last time I observed it, I confirmed that it was definitely in a place of no return. Worldly affairs change so quickly.”

Did he not expect that the ring of the guide would return to Yorta at all?

The words were sudden and without greeting, but Lennok immediately understood what the boy meant.

In fact, the ring was hidden in a very powerful personal safe called Zilean’s Citadel, Gyro’s Shipwreck.

If Lennok hadn’t forcibly found it and brought it out, it might have been forgotten day by day in the basement of the citadel.

“Well, that’s enough for trivial chatter, so take it out and see.”

Looking at the silent Lennok, the boy calmly leaned on the throne and nodded.

“I want to check how much the spirit of the guide who once led the night journey has fallen.”

“… … .”

“You’re not even going to answer me?”

Seeing the boy laughing, Lennok quickly began to roll his head.

It seems that the boy’s ghost must now have the greatest authority in this courtroom.

The seven spirits lined up on either side of him must be the interrogators who were there to help the boy in his trial.

The problem was that depending on how Lennok was treated, the difficulty of the plan varied greatly.

If the boy here wants to banish Lennok, that in itself doesn’t matter.

You can change your identity and come back here, or you can find another way instead of crossing the Headlane River.

The most problematic thing is when the boy decides to kill Lennok on the spot.

It would be difficult to evade the Yorta officials and run away when they had crossed the river this far.

Since we started, we have to either kill all the hundred ghosts and witnesses in the area, or find another opportunity.

That moment when Lennok thought so and slowly fidgeted with the ring.

Sreureung!!

All dozens of hundred demons aimed at Lennok’s neck at the same time and began to surround the scythe.

If he didn’t activate the ring, the reaction would be so violent that he could slit his head right here.

The hundred demons glared at Lennok and said.

“Turn it off, my… … .”

“check… … .”

A resolute determination to check the ring of the guide here, no matter what.

Realizing that this was not something to be taken lightly, Lennok shook his head.

It wouldn’t be impossible to kill all the hundred demons here and forcibly enter Yorta, but… … .

“… … I will.”

Unless you know what kind of environment the inside of Yorta is created, there is a high possibility that a hasty judgment will return with a handshake.

Lennok thought so and slowly activated the guide’s ring.

Faaaaaa!!

A whitish human figure emerging above the jewels of the ring.

The appearance of the guide’s ghost, seemingly without any features, and several ghosts walking behind him.

[…] … .]

It is certain that if you show the ring of the guide, you can head to Yorta.

I’ve never worried about that myself.

Just how important this ring was to Yorta.

Also, it is unknown what meaning the fact that the priestess’s soul was collected in the ring will be accepted by them.

Amidst the tight tension, Lennok quietly checked the reactions around him.

=… … .

=… … .

At the same time as they appeared, the white demons did not take their eyes off the figure of the guide.

He absentmindedly lifts his distorted face inside the hood and is intent on looking at the pure white glow.

[…] … hmm.]

The guide looked around at the white ghosts without a word, then smiled lightly as if he understood them.

For a moment, it seemed that the boy’s eyes met, but in an instant, he returned to the ring and disappeared.

While Lennok followed the figure of the leader who disappeared in an instant, the boy leaning on the throne and watching muttered.

“Once upon a time he was a prophet who surely guided us all, but now it is a traitor’s legacy.”

Not a prophet, but a traitor. Does that mean that the spirit of the guide is no longer welcome in Yorta?

“The soul trapped inside the ring is a public figure and a sinner who has repeatedly made great contributions and mistakes to this city.”

the boy said calmly.

“That’s why, from my point of view, who judges the spirits of the dead, I praise him for returning, but I have to punish him on the contrary.”

“… … .”

“Originally, I would have to ask for the crime right away, and even the owner of the ring would be sentenced to death… … .”

The figure of a boy muttering while looking at Lenoc with an unreadable expression on his face.

Following the boy, the hundred demons all looked back at Lenok and began to let out a terrifying groan.

It was cold and wet, as if they were going to stab Lennok’s neck with a scythe again.

The moment Lennok quietly tilted his head instead of reacting to the spirit of the ghosts.

“I don’t know things, but I think people are innocent.”

The boy changed his expression and smiled.

“I don’t want to take that ring back now, nor do I want to throw it away. So man, let’s make a deal.”

“transaction?”

“If it is known that the spirit of the guide has returned to the city, the old spirits sleeping in the memorial tower will wake up.”

said the boy.

“As soon as we have a large-scale night trip ahead, we don’t want a commotion in the tower. So why don’t you keep the ring until the night is over?”

“… … I don’t know what you want to say.”

asked Lennok, stepping out in front of the bow.

“As for the whereabouts and treatment of the ring, it is, of course, my property. Did you call me to decide something like that?”

“yes.”

The boy nodded.

“The problem is that once you withhold the value of the ring, you have to nullify all the procedures you went through crossing the river.”

“what?”

“We need to destroy the spiritual records of the rituals and items used in the checkpoint, as well as that funny-looking boat you came on.”

“… … .”

“As you know, Yorta is a floating city built on the headlane river, and is designed to be navigated by boat throughout the city. If you accept this offer, you will have to get a new ship and rituals.”

I wondered if the process of paying tribute and building a boat at the dock was strangely difficult, and that was the reason.

It would be understandable if there was an environment where you had to constantly use a boat to come and go inside Yoreta.

The fact that the shape of the boat was slightly different for each tribute may have been a measure to show the status of the guests in the city.

But what caught my attention first was the boy’s proposal to Lennok.

To hide the record that he brought the Ring of the Deliverer, did Lennok invalidate all the inspections he had passed so far?

Contrary to the seemingly insignificant proposal, it is quite grandiose and seems to hide its traces with great effort.

It’s probably because, contrary to what the boy says, there’s a reason why the Ring of the Guider shouldn’t be making its presence known to the city at this point.

Sensing that, Lennok crossed his arms and tilted his head.

“Nope? Why should I?”

“… … .”

“Okay, register the ring and properly judge the assignment level and authority. It’s none of my business to know what’s going on over there.”

[No, that’s… … .]

The priestess, who was watching the conversation between the two, asked astonished.

[Sir, is that answer really correct at this point?]

“… … .”

From the perspective of the priestess, Lennok’s reaction to acting out his guts in front of the boy might not be understandable.

In fact, the boy’s spiritual body retains his youthful appearance, but he is strong enough that even Lennok knows how strong he is.

No matter how low you hold it, it’s a heavenly ghost.

Or it must be a being with authority and power that goes beyond that.

But Lennok had a hunch that the boy’s patronizing offer was not out of consideration for Lennok.

If the boy himself decided that he had to hide the ring of the guide, he would rather come up with a different proposal to keep it.

Sure enough, the boy smiled with a troubled expression, pondered, then nodded.

“hmm… … He’s a smarter guy than I thought. Looking at the process of getting here, he didn’t seem very aware.”

“… … .”

Lennok’s act of dragging the apostle’s corpse and hanging the head on the boat didn’t seem like someone with a keen eye.

The boy spoke while Lennok was silent, unable to answer.

“good. Then, in exchange for accepting this offer, how about I provide your rituals instead?”

“What does that mean?”

“Using my authority to judge the spirit of Yoreta, I can apply an exception to you.”

As Lennok pondered, the boy explained.

“Originally, it was a special case for VIPs from other cities, such as delegations, but let’s make an exception this time.”

“I don’t know what it means to provide a ritual.”

Lennok replied, arms crossed.

“Was it so easy to obtain ritual items to pass the checkpoint in the first place?”

“Well, it is not difficult. If I had to argue, it would be to bring up a spiritual archetype from the checkpoint record of the memorial tower.”

Saying that, the boy stretched out his hand toward Lennok.

“I will look back on the tasks that your spirit, not yourself, has built up, and implement the ritual that suits you the most.”

The entire judge’s field of view was greatly distorted, and an illusion arose as if a halo of light was shooting up toward Lennok.

oh oh oh… … !!

A stream of spiritual halo, apparently directed at Lennok himself.

If Lennok refused, the boy’s offer would be null and void.

‘It’s an archetype of Yorta’s internal records… … .’

When Lennok, who was worried, eased the target designation resistance slightly and accepted the flow, immediately a group of lights began to condense over the altar.

It’s probably to look back on Lennok’s work on that altar and give him a matching ritual item.

With his hand outstretched to the altar, the boy spoke leisurely to Lennok.

“However, the size of the ritual is so small, and the ship has to be separately obtained in Yoreta… … hmm?”

At that moment, the boy’s expression, which had been relaxed all along, changed to trembling.

The sudden reaction made the other judges look back at the boy as well.

“No, wait. This is not an archetype… … .”

The moment the boy muttered with a puzzled expression.

Kwaaaaaang!!!

The entire wall of the judge’s court was shattered, and a tremendous amount of waves began to rush out from beyond.

“Aaaaaaaa!!”

The interrogators standing next to the boy screamed in bewilderment, and shortly thereafter, a huge shadow shattered the altar and entered the cavity.

Cuguaguagua!!!

It smashed through the Yorta checkpoint in an instant and crashed into it, crossing over the rippling waves and standing right in front of Lennok.

oh oh oh… … !!

Lennok, too, confirmed the identity of the target that appeared as a result of summoning the ritual archetype and remained silent.

The boy who had repositioned himself on top of the broken altar muttered in amazement.

“Huh, this is… … What the hell are you doing?”

“… … .”

“I guess we should start talking again from the beginning.”

A huge keel that emits a dull turquoise color.

A grotesque appearance with old chains hanging and swaying everywhere.

An overwhelming presence that suppresses the sudden appearance and shock wave with just the appearance.

Even though Lennok had seen it before, it was the vastest ship of the command.

A ghost ship, huge enough to fill the waves of the Judge, was looking down at Lennok through thick fog.
