Genius Wizard Who Eats Medicine Chapter 798

Betrayal and fanaticism (5)

The 8th basement floor of the memorial tower. The Underwater Gardens of Pavellon.

Sitting on the ruins of a huge historical site in the middle of the deep sea, Lennok was staring at his phone.

Click, click.

“The connection… … I can’t.”

Even after connecting the line with Darby’s help, the phone doesn’t listen.

I was thinking of checking the trend of Pandaemonium in the gap where I had some spare time, but it didn’t go as I wanted.

The only record left is a message sent by Hireah right before Lennok entered Yorta.

[Victor. This time, the interim settlement scheduled for Talker Fuzz has been cancelled. Several people, including the doctor, have sent their intention to not attend.]

“… … .”

[The Pandaemonium internal circuit is shaking. It seems like something will happen soon, so keep in mind.]

Hireah’s message was cut off after a simple message.

But Lennok realized that this seemingly simple message had a slightly more subtle meaning.

‘It must mean that something serious has happened that Agneta cannot properly function as a messenger.’

A half-breed of an ancient species, a messenger of pandemonium that communicates words to and from the imaginary dimension.

It must mean that there was, or was about to happen, an event so big that she couldn’t properly serve as herald.

‘I’m sure the last time I saw Agneta… … .’

After completing the operation at Gillian’s Citadel, Agneta left the continent at the request of the clown.

If it’s a warning that something big might happen, it probably has something to do with it.

The moment I let the drowsy Darby into my arms, a loud noise rang from behind.

“Ah, here you are.”

thud!!

The shape of a door made in the form of a huge plaster.

“Isn’t the view from here pretty good?”

The Judge, who moved his subordinates to the hill of the ruins, asked with a smile.

“The river flowing in both the material world and the spirit world collects the tears of the living and the dead… … That’s why it never dries up again.”

“… … .”

“In short, this river has deepened over time, and will continue to flow until the moment the world perishes.”

The judge laughed at the silent Lennok.

“Until then, only the gods of the outer sea know where the spirits sleeping under this river will go.”

“God… … .”

At the words that were hard to hear, Lennok looked at Oris in silence before asking.

“Do you think the ends of the open sea are gods?”

“Oops, let’s have a discussion about theology in the presence of a priestess from the church? It’s not something I really want to answer.”

[…] … .]

The boy shrugged.

“However, it is true that the Church and Yorta once held similar views on the existence of the open sea. That’s why the papacy and requiem are where the remains of the ascended are stored beyond the bounds.”

“… … .”

“The bridge of the soul created through Mangwi Night Travel was also a foot of hope, believing that there would be an answer outside.”

Yoreta’s trip to Manguya is a great ceremony to build a bridge for the soul to cross over to the next world.

They believed that the next world was beyond the open sea.

Oris, who was quietly looking at Lennok, asked.

“Do you think it is wrong?”

“Is there a need to judge right from wrong at the point of failure? It was just a lowly method that didn’t fit the subject.”

Lennok responded sullenly and raised his gaze.

“But I’m not unaware that there are people who think that way about the open sea.”

“… … .”

“It wouldn’t be strange if the ghosts of Yorta were in awe of the foreign gods… … .”

Having seen the monsters swimming in the dark waters firsthand, Lennok didn’t find it strange to regard them as gods.

The essence and presence of the foreign body. At first glance, it is natural to fear and revere the power that cannot be judged.

Not only ordinary humans, but even superhumans who know the secrets of the world are no different in front of them.

Rather, since it is the city that has existed for the longest time, it may have had a deeper understanding and reverence for foreign media outlets.

However, in the process, he hadn’t even thought of the fact that Yoreta and the Church had colluded with each other at one time or another.

“A crazy bastard. Even though you know about them, are you not inspired by the fact?”

After Oris said that, he nodded his head in agreement.

“Ah, I understand. Hey, he must have inherited the legacy of Onion because he’s that kind of guy.”

“… … It looks like you know what Madric Onion was doing in the Balkans.”

“The Black Consumer Project? every know Wasn’t it the last attempted ascension ceremony on this continent?”

The judge asked back as if it was not a big deal.

“I’ve heard that, taking the failures of us and Makina as a mirror, we obtained unimaginable results.”

“… … .”

“yes. When Kay Sera died, he must have tried to find his soul in Yorta as well… … I’m not the official, so I don’t know.”

I wanted to ask more, but as Victor, I didn’t have to show any connection to the megalopolis.

“You seem to be very interested in the power structure of the city.”

That’s why Lennok turned his attention to Oris.

“Do you want to keep reminding us of Onion’s existence, and use the failure of Requiem as an excuse to take that position?”

“… … You seem to have explained too much. Your words have been sharp ever since.”

Oris smiled bitterly as if reading my thoughts at once.

“Yes, you are right. Because I want to bring down the requiem and change this city that has been stuck since the night trek failed.”

“… … .”

“You don’t have to think hard. If the status of Requiem is shaken by helping you, then I might be able to take that position.”

The boy who spoke confidently put his hands on his waist and declared.

“Doesn’t I have a bit more dignity befitting the pinnacle of Yoreta than those trapped in a dull tombstone?”

[…] … .]

“… … well. I don’t know.”

Apart from the fact that the Grand Inquisitor is a powerful military commander, the boy’s appearance did not feel very dignified.

The spiritual body of the priestess also just shook her head in amazement behind Lennok.

However, it was understandable that the boy wanted to get out of the basement of the tower and usurp the place of requiem.

“By the way, you know more about the situation and composition of Yorta than I thought.”

Oris’ gaze at Lennok shone sharply.

“As soon as you entered the city, you met the requiem, and you also received the knowledge from the spirit of the guide?”

“No, it was because of something I found in the prison where you kept me.”

The judge’s expression changed strangely when he checked the papyrus that Lennok had taken out.

“… … A ghost report?”

“He knew how to visit the requiem and sneak a peek at Mugan.”

“Oh, it’s an experience book… … .”

A strong curiosity rose from the judge’s face.

He must have recognized at a glance that this papyrus was not an ordinary item.

“There are not just one or two extraordinary objects in this old city, but this one has a lot of flavor… … .”

“… … .”

At this point, revealing the existence of the experience book to Oris may act as an unexpected variable.

However, the reason why I brought out the experience book in line with Oris’s question.

It was because he knew that this record of his experiences served as the most powerful repository of knowledge in Yorta.

At this point in time when the goal is clearly set, you should think about how to make the best use of the means you have.

If you were a participant in the night trip, wouldn’t you know how to make better use of this travelogue?

After hearing Lennok’s explanation, Oris immediately nodded.

“good. I don’t think you need to prepare for this.”

“preparation?”

“I prepared various materials to study the customs, customs and procedures of Yorta… … .”

Having said that, the judge instructs his subordinates to slightly flip the plaster door that he brought up.

A huge amount of writings and records engraved in tiny letters inside the plaster.

Lennok, realizing that it was a record board inscribed with Yorta’s internal customs and procedures, stepped back in disgust.

“You tried to make me study? Selling is good too. Where is the time for that?”

“No, but it is absolutely necessary.”

The boy nodded firmly.

“Because I have to memorize these procedures in order to enter the ghost dragon’s fortress.”

“… … A fortress for ghost dragons?”

“You don’t have to explain it with my own mouth.”

Saying that, Oris glanced at the memoir.

“Why don’t you check it with a courtesy object?”

As he said, the words of the experience were slowly emerging on the papyrus returned by the judge.

= Fortress of the Ghost Dragon. Located in the northernmost part of Yoreta, the upper level command area of ​​the Celestial Ghost District.

= An extraterritorial realm not under the control of requiem, an iron-blooded fortress ruled by the ghost dragon Yao Xun. The only city defense facility that exists in Yoreta.

=The ancient sanctuary where the Infernal Gate is located.

“… … .”

It was only then that Lennok realized Oris had mentioned a ghost dragon’s stronghold.

Yao Xun’s fortress for ghosts.

It is the only defense facility in the military city, and an extraterritorial jurisdiction that is not under the control of requiem.

And is the name referring to the ancient sanctuary where the Infinity Gate is located?

It’s probably like a gateway you must pass through to get to the station.

Involuntarily, while cross-checking the existence of the reverse gate, the judge pointed to a ship anchored in the underwater garden.

“I don’t have much time, so should I explain in detail as I go?”

* * *

“Yao Xun, the ghost dragon, is not originally a native of this city.”

Gooo!!

The mysterious cries of ghost sharks resound under the river.

Oris explained, while the shark-drawn craft sailed down the river.

“You’ll know when you hear that nickname, but he wasn’t even human in the first place.”

“I have seen in the literature that a creature called a dragon exists.”

“That’s right. Yao Xun is an ancient servant of Kundara. That’s because he was born as a dragon called true blood, and became a military commander.”

“… … .”

The lonely city of Kundara.

A mysterious city where ancient species live and try to avoid destruction.

Yao Xun was a dragon who was revered there as a true blood, and was reborn as a military spirit.

Among Lennok’s acquaintances, it would be possible to say that Clarisse Richellen, who was Aris’s teacher, was similar.

The boy gritted his teeth and said.

“I don’t know if you know, but the ancient species don’t have souls.”

“… … .”

“That’s why ghosts of an ancient species never come into existence, and all existing commanders are only from humans or sub-races.”

“Then why is the ghost dragon called that?”

“That’s because of the body magic that the ghost dragon is learning-”

Oris, who had said that, stopped talking and was lost in thought.

“Hmm, I think you should see and judge this for yourself. If I’m wrong, it’s a problem that my personal opinion may enter.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s because the magic used by the ghost dragon is a type where pros and cons are sharply divided even in this city.”

The judge looked up and said.

“Even more so under the rules that exist within that fortress.”

Shoot!!

At that moment, the ship rose explosively, bouncing its figure above the surface of the water.

It is unbelievable that it is called a river.

At the far end of the horizon, a mighty fortress was visible, glowing a soft grayish white.

“Yao Xun had a very strict disposition, so he didn’t get close to anyone. I also don’t come and go often, so I don’t know much about him.”

“… … .”

“It was just a secret secret that I found out right after I was exiled that the Infernal Gate was hidden here… … After all, the requiem must have been hidden from everyone and secretly harboring other plans.”

The judge waved his hands while mocking himself.

“From now on, I plan to go to a meeting with the requiem. Thanks to you, you have a piece of experience, I have some time for myself.”

“… … Are you going to pass the time by dealing with the soulmate alone?”

The boy grinned at Lennok’s reaction.

“I gave up on night travel and was banished, but I am also a part of the tower. I’m not going to try to destroy it easily.”

While Lennok is looking for the Inferno Gate in the Ghost Dragon’s Fortress, does the Judge want to pass the time by dealing with the Requiem?

That’s probably because, if the soul soul concentrates all its capabilities, it can exert its influence even in the ghost dragon’s fortress.

“Find the Infernal Reverse Gate inside the fortress. Whether or not Yao Xun cooperates is up to you.”

“You’re making the obvious statement at length. I meant to do that from the beginning.”

Even as Lennok replied, he stood on deck and began to gauge the distance to the fort.

Aside from the fact that Oris himself couldn’t come forward, it was enough that he provided information that it was the Reverse Gate of Infinity.

Remains of Ascendant Coming. An old bowl of religious leaders that exists in Mugan.

As long as I confirmed its existence and was convinced of the value of the knowledge, I had to act no matter what the situation was.

It is not simply a matter of one religious leader or one denomination.

Almost certainly, Ethan Bajur must have come out after confirming the existence of the arrival from beyond the infinite.

If so, wouldn’t the ‘sake of resurrection’ that Edan had obtained also be a power related to the ascendant’s remains?

“… … .”

All the bizarre secrets that Lennok saw and heard in Yorta are intertwined with the remains that exist within the infinity.

Undoubtedly, the traces of the project that Kaise Bajour left behind must be the same.

Who is Alkaid? There was no time to hesitate as long as he was guessing what kind of qualifications he had.

Dig!!

At the same time as Lennok’s model lands on the river, the ghost ship rapidly shrinks and disappears into the robes.

The spirit body of the boy lying on the wheelhouse was forcibly thrown off and plunged into the river.

“Damn it, does it hurt if I tell you in advance?!”

Lennok reached down, leaving Oris and the ghost shark to grumble and disappear down the river.

damn!!

The part of the waterway that the hand touched froze cold and turned into a thin board that slides over the river.

Lenok, who manipulated it with a magician, immediately moved toward the pier where the fortress was located.

Shoot aaaaa!!!

Lennok slowly tilted his head, confirming the existence of the guard and the fort’s barriers split by the crashing waves.

muttered Lennok, who walked around the edge of the fort to the nearby dock.

“I’ll have to find a way to get in. The boundaries seem stricter than I thought.”

[You have no intention of sneaking in.]

“Because it may require the cooperation of the ghost dragon to find the reverse gate of infinity. There is no need to break Yao Xun’s rules already.”

Lennok replied, donning his robe and stepping down the street.

If you maintain such an impression in the position of being pursued by the spirit of requiem, there will be people who will recognize you.

But Lennok thought he could take advantage of the situation itself if he could detect it in advance.

[Wouldn’t it be possible to find clues if you check the records of your experiences?]

“I think so, but it’s more important to investigate the ghost dragon’s body spell.”

Lennok replied, stepping out of the crowd and rubbing his shoulders.

“Oris said that the magic of the ghost dragon was related to the nature of the fortress. He will be sure if he has to judge for himself.”

[Looks like the judge got it wrong. Isn’t it hard to believe the eyes of an eccentric magician like you?]

“Should I give advice from a zealot who only gives useless advice behind the scenes?”

Lennok replied, staring blankly at the passers-by.

“but… … There are many people wandering around the streets. It is proof that a lot of outsiders have recently flowed into this street.”

[…] … .]

“Perhaps there are events or ceremonies near the fort that outsiders can participate in—”

Peeing… … !!

At that moment, something passed through Lennok’s senses and disappeared.

Beyond the level of keeping an eye on Lennok, an intense murderous intent that glared at him as if to kill him.

“… … .”

Sensing Lennok’s cold reaction, the priestess asked.

[…] … You?]

“No, it’s not a big deal.”

Lennok smiled and turned around.

“I was just a little surprised that he came earlier than expected.”

Kwajik!!

As I walked along the line of sight, I quickly escaped from the downtown area and entered a quiet back alley.

It is said that there are few people even in broad daylight. Is it a street that is usually used as a night market?

The piled boxes were scattered and all kinds of fruits spilled out under my feet.

Whoo!!

In the cold wind blowing, the scenery behind the night market began to come into my eyes little by little.

The figures of dozens of ghosts hanging around the streets staring at Lenok in the middle of the night market.

Commanders, each clad in worn-out cloaks, holding long curved swords and scythes.

Only the faded epaulettes on their shoulders suggest that they are organized.

“I thought it would come at any time, but the response was too fast.”

asked Lennok, looking back at them.

“Did you already start moving to pursue me in the requiem?”

“There are not many places where the lost sinner of Yorta can escape.”

The pale-skinned man, who was hanging upside down and staring at Lennok, answered.

“I just thought that if I were still in this city, I would have headed somewhere out of reach of the requiem.”

“… … .”

“However, to abandon so many hideouts and sanctuaries, and to choose this fortress… … .”

Has my intention regarding the inverse gate of Infinity been discovered already?

The moment Lennok thought so, raised his magic power, and tried to snatch the magician with both hands.

Unexpected words came out of Young-Gwi’s mouth.

“Isn’t it because you are the one who will receive the incarnation spell for the ghost dragon?”

“… … Incarnation Spell?”
