Genius Wizard Who Eats Medicine Chapter 833

Takeover (1)

A small garden behind the old church where Hirea lives.

Turning the Magic Detector to erase the presence of people, Lennok sighed as he sat down on a park bench.

It was obvious who the culprit was who had pushed posts on the deep web and caused chaos all over the site.

Lennok looked at Darby with a smile on his face and murmured.

“… … I must have told you not to leave traces unnecessarily.”

[Abu couple.]

Darby protested, her cheeks sagging in Lennok’s hand.

The figure of the spirit desperately shaking its head at Lennok while swinging its front paws.

Lennok, who looked at him disapprovingly, sighed and let Darby go.

“I don’t know what the hell this is about. Do you want to hang out on the deep web while listening to psychopaths?”

[master. There is a misunderstanding.]

Darby got down on Lennok’s lap and explained.

[I’m not the one listening to the psychopath.]

“Oh, yes. You mean it wasn’t you?”

Lennok asked in complete disbelief.

“There are more hackers than you on the Deep Web advertising all over the network that they’re fox lovers. I guess I’ve underestimated the lunatics of this city.”

[Hehe, it’s okay if you don’t have to be surprised.]

said Darby, standing on Lennok’s lap, chest out.

[That’s just one of my multiple accounts!]

“… … .”

Darby, unaware of Lennok’s cold eyes, confidently explained.

[This is an account I use as an uploader on the deep web, but every time it appears, it behaves like a car of interest and pushes away comments. He is a very useful friend.]

“That is not to act like an interest seed. It just is.”

[No, Master. I realized.]

Darby didn’t care about Lennok’s retort, and raised his front paws over his head as if in realization.

[The fact that if you normally pretend to be crazy, even if you sometimes act calculatingly, the organisms won’t notice!!]

“No, that… … .”

[It’s an account with a clearly defined concept and role, so to be precise, that’s not me.]

Lennok was about to say something, then sighed and nodded.

It was obvious who Darby had learned such a bad way from.

Darby, who watched Lennok’s activities closely, would understand more than anyone else how useful Lennok has been using his multiple identities.

There is nothing to say if Darby has been using it as a means to be active in the deep web.

If there’s a problem… … .

“Dabi.”

After placing the young spirit on the bench, Lennok lowered his posture slightly.

“Tell me honestly. When I first made you, I never expected you to grow to this extent.”

[…] … .]

“In a sense, you exist every moment beyond my expectations. Even now, it’s true that I’m receiving a lot of help from your ability. but… … .”

Lennok, who met his clear blue eyes, slowly chose his words.

“If you follow me in the future, you should think about it a little more carefully.’

[Why?]

“It’s because you’re an existence that originated because of me, but you’re an individual with talents and abilities that are different from mine.”

said Lennok, stroking Darby’s head.

“Following me is just an act of following my potential and potential, and in the end it just stays as my subordinate object.”

[…] … .]

Darby’s ability, which was born in the cyberspace, is a power that is different from Lennok’s talent.

Considering that Darby is a spirit born through Lennok’s magic, it is truly miraculous.

However, if Darby imitates Lennok as he is now, and if he follows the means, he will end up becoming just like Lennok.

And never surpass Lennok, just get closer to backwards compatibility.

Darby, who had been silent, must have sensed something from Lennok’s serious words.

[but… … It would be nice if I became a sub-object of the former master.]

“Anyone else would be fine.”

Lennok answered quietly.

“But you are different. Because I am an existence that was born based on me, if you imitate me beyond a certain level… … Even that recoil will be shouldered with us.”

Lennok’s transcendent talent is not a given power.

A kind of restraint-like discipline based on the grievous penalty that binds his body.

If Darby becomes similar to Lennok, the penalty Lennok has is likely to be accompanied in a similar form.

That would be a mortal danger to Darby, who exists as an elemental body.

Lennok realized that and thought he should have warned him in advance.

“I am not saying to stop right now. It’s not like everything you do is just following me. But you have to keep the worst-case scenario in mind.”

[…] … .]

“You haven’t been born in this world for less than 10 years, and there are facts you need to be aware of when making a choice. I am… … .”

Lennok, who silently stroked Darby and sat on the bench, smiled.

“I hope you live longer than me.”

How much time will Lennox have left?

10 years or 20 years? Maybe even shorter than that.

Jaein Park’s penalty is not a constraint that Lennok himself can measure, and it is impossible to accurately perceive the remaining time.

Wasn’t that why I always tried to do my best in every moment and leave no regrets?

But if Lennok runs out of time before the end of the world comes.

And, if this young spirit remains by Lennok’s side until then.

What awaits the brain spirit left alone in this world?

Lennok acknowledged that just thinking about it made one side of his heart ache, but on the other hand, he had to prepare for an ending that he didn’t know when it would come.

Is it because of the pendant Oris gave her, or is it because she has been through so many things for so long?

Unlike before, even if Lennok himself met the end first, something remained in this world.

Thinking about it seemed a little comforting.

[all right.]

Darby answered with a six-pronged tail.

Darby crouched down on Lennok’s lap, feeling downcast, then jerked his head up as if remembering something.

[Then, for the time being, I will only be active on the deep web with one account!]

“… … .”

An innocent question that makes you doubt whether you have listened to what I have said so far.

Lennok, who had been looking down at Darby in amazement, soon relaxed and smiled.

“okay. do whatever you want.”

Darby’s personal growth has been much more rapid, solid and stable than Lennok had imagined.

It must be because Darby tried to exist as an independent entity on his own, separate from the fact that he originated from Lennok himself.

Whatever choice the young spirit made, Lennok was fully trusted and ready to help.

“Still, should I be punished for rioting?”

[ugh.]

Apart from that, the law deserves punishment for overturning the deep web at will.

Lennok returned to the church, tying Darby’s tail in a knot and dangling it from the inside pocket of his robe.

Hireah looked back at Lennok with a puzzled expression and called out.

“Victor, where have you been?”

“I have some things to organize. How about the deep web?”

“… … The situation is over because of that crazy uploader earlier. Everyone seems to have given up a long time ago.”

Hyrea shook her head.

“At least, there won’t be any discussions on public bulletin boards for the time being.”

“Right.”

The method Darby chose was a bummer that was close to recklessness to the surprise of Lennok, but it was even more effective because of it.

In the deep web, where each other’s personal information is unknown, opponents with strange obsessions and tendencies are not hostile, but shunned.

It would have been even more so if the opponent was an excellent hacker like Darby.

It will be difficult to prevent leaked videos from other places other than the deep web, but this is enough for now.

While Lennok thought so, Hireah held out a piece of paper.

“It’s an official document leaked from the Dead Rise Command.”

“… … .”

“We included satellite cities near the Balkans as our new operational area. Do you know what this means?”

Scruffy paper with all sorts of intricate legion marks. A list of the areas of operation of the various corps listed therein.

Is the operation area specification leaked directly to the mass media by a private military company covering the central front?

As soon as Lennok saw it, he understood why Hyrea had shown this.

The operation to subdue the lightning that Damus mentioned.

He included satellite cities near the Balkans in Dead Rise’s operational area, and announced as soon as the meeting was over that his words were not lies.

“Damus… … . He’s definitely a troublesome man. He is so talented.”

Hireah, who was sitting at the end of the chapel that had become quiet, said with a tired look.

“While clarifying his purpose, he does not forget his situation, which has been involved in both the legion and pandemonium. Among the people who have been trying to use this place lately, I think he has the best political sense.”

“… … .”

“To be honest, subduing the dog is too risky. In the first place, if Kyeon-roe hadn’t been suffering from multiple injuries, there wouldn’t have even been a discussion like this.”

“well.”

Lennox tilted his head in an indifferent reply.

Deep black eyes flashed from the inside of the obsidian mask.

“Anything like that, you didn’t even try to mediate the situation.”

Hireah’s complexion hardened slightly at Lenok’s cold words.

“They said there was a doctor, but unlike the last time, he didn’t even try to continue the agenda. I just threw away the formal subject and focused on looking at the reaction.”

“Victor, that… … .”

Hireah convened the members for a meeting, but did not directly bring up any topic other than Yoreta’s agenda.

The agenda related to the subjugation of the dog is a build-up that started with Chevienne and was completed by Damus.

However, Hireah did not arrange or dissuade the meeting, but only quietly watched the situation.

It may be that she is faithful to her role as a broker, but it did not feel this way when she first called the meeting.

Lennok was already aware of a sense of incongruity in the gap between the reactions.

“Hairea.”

Was it that he was feeling the pressure just by pointing out that fact?

Calling for the pale-faced nun, Lennok calmed down and said,

“I do not intend to disparage your attempts to balance the organization. Rather than your doctor, that would be entrusted to you by the leader who noticed your talent.”

“… … .”

“But no matter what deal he made with Damus, or how he tried to get the attendees out… … You will have to be careful when doing things.”

said Lennok, slowly leaning back into his chair.

“When the host and guest start to change, I don’t think there will be any reason to keep an eye on them for a long time.”

“… … okay. keep in mind.”

Hireah answered while barely loosening her stiff face.

“But I can assure you, it won’t do any harm to them. It’s not like I’m bound by Dead Rise. However, in terms of estimating the power of pandemonium… … .”

“done. I have no intention of wanting to hear a detailed explanation now. instead-”

Jjiing… … !!

After Hirea had stopped talking, Lennok paused for a moment as the pain ran up his spine.

In a short while, the painkiller’s effectiveness wore off, and I felt my limbs numb and my knees wobbly.

Lennok, who had barely regained his composure, continued leaning back in his chapel chair.

“Tell the captain that you are ready. It doesn’t matter anytime.”

“… … What if there is no answer?”

“Anyway, I’m sure you’re listening.”

Lennok laughed.

“Because he or she will know better whether I am ready or not.”

“… … .”

The collapse of the memorial tower, the massacre of Makina. leader and principal.

The secret history of the Black Consumer Project surrounding Kaise Bajour.

Lennok chased memories of the past by looking back at the two cities that predate Balkan, and now he is slowly realizing what happened in these cities.

Just as the leader did when he saw Lennok, the leader must know.

The message conveyed through Croken is a direct expression of the leader’s will to Lennok.

The relationship between himself and Lennok, who had pretended not to know until now.

A definite answer that he would once again talk about old memories that he hadn’t bothered to be afraid of.

There was no need to hesitate once I checked it.

“then… … .”

“wait for a sec.”

Heading towards Lennok, who stumbled around, Hireah quickly approached and held out something.

A case containing several items that look like silver bags.

“It’s a new fever. If you take it, it temporarily separates your body and consciousness, making you far from the pain of reality.”

Hyrea said quietly.

“It’s an object made by a religious group that was destroyed by the Guido Church to help its followers meet God.”

“… … .”

“If you can’t stand it because you’re really sick, try one. If you eat too often, you may never come back, so be careful.”

“Well… … I don’t think it will be of much use.”

In the first place, for a wizard with a strong self-consciousness like Lennok, the separation between the body and mind does not occur so easily.

Even in Yorta, where all kinds of warlords live, Lennok’s soul or mind had never been shaken.

As Damon, a heroic spirit from the central city, said, there is an inviolable purity that Lennok cannot even recognize.

If it wasn’t because Lennok himself wanted it, it wouldn’t happen that his soul would be interfered with.

However, Lennok took the heat medicine given by Hirea while saying that.

You don’t have to refuse what they give you, and it might be useful against someone other than Lenok.

More concerned than that was that Hirea had noticed Lennok’s pain-soaked reaction.

It must mean that Lennok’s condition is not good enough to hide the aftermath of the battle at Yorta.

Leaning weakly against the church door, Lenok turned his head and his eyes shone through the mask.

“You know, but everything that happened today will have to be kept a secret.”

“… … I think so even if you don’t say it. What do you think of me?”

“If news about me leaks out, you know it’s your fault.”

“I don’t want to die either. do it yourself.”

Even though her complexion was not yet pale, Hireah made an absurd reply and disappeared behind the chapel.

He must be trying to contact the other members who did not participate in this meeting.

Lennok left the quiet cathedral behind and immediately exited District 21.

“Whoa… … .”

After the meeting with Highrea, the work to be finished, the concentration suddenly blurs.

I arrived near the house with a blurred consciousness to the point where I didn’t even know how I got there, and threw off the obsidian mask.

Darby looked at her with pity as she blew out the tobacco with trembling hands and managed to light it.

[Let’s go home quickly. Master needs to rest first.]

“… … What about Jenny?”

[I am contacted as soon as I enter the call area, but I will reply appropriately for now.]

“… … .”

Lennok tried to answer that question, but looked back at himself and smiled wryly.

The morning just dawning.

People leaning against their bikes, smoking cigarettes, with dying complexions as they commute to and from work.

My head is floating, my consciousness is spinning tight, and the energy around me doesn’t touch my skin, but I feel far away.

I didn’t take the fever medicine that Hirea gave me, but I felt a strange floating feeling as if my body and head were moving away.

The fatigue and pain suppressed by the medicinal effect spread like paint and seemed to slowly wet the whole body.

Should I have taken a little more rest in Yorta?

However, since the collapse of the memorial tower must have been known throughout the continent, they had to escape before being caught by outsiders who came to hear the news.

There were not many points where the judgment was wrong. It’s just that the strength needed to make the best choice didn’t live up to expectations.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt regret, but Lennok gritted his teeth and calmed himself down slowly.

“… … okay. Let’s do it.”

After handing over the phone to Darby, I opened the door to the mansion and went inside.

I washed it roughly, like pouring water on it, and fumbled open the medicine bottle lined up on the sink, chewed it, and swallowed it.

“haha… … .”

I sat down on the bed, drank a lot of water, and laid down slowly.

When I lay there with a throbbing head, rapid breathing, and pain of unknown origin, I always thought of the old days.

If I fall asleep like this, I might not be able to open my eyes again.

A long time ago, I used to go to bed sick with these worries every day.

I repeat the pain and worries, I swallow the tears that won’t come out, and I fall asleep-

Like that, I should wake up with a sense of relief that I survived the day.

The morning after returning to the Balkans after a long trip to the military city.

Without opening his eyes in the pouring sunlight, Lennok fell asleep for the first time in months.

* * *

The 49th district of Balkan, a megacity. Jenny’s Bar.

“jenny!!”

bang!!

The door to the crowded bar was thrown open, and several people poured in.

The eyes of the people around them are immediately drawn to the unique atmosphere that spreads various appearances and magical powers, and then scatters.

Because any customer visiting the bar knew who these people had just entered.

Jenny, who was sitting at the bar and banging on her laptop, saw him and scratched her head with an annoyed expression.

“I must have told you ten times not to kick the door. They changed that a few days ago, you stupid bastard!”

“No, there are more important things than that!!”

Dylan, a mercenary wearing a strange mask, took out his cell phone while sweating profusely.

“I got a reply from Van. Did you see it too?”

“… … however?”

“This child. that it suddenly became strange You’re not the kind of guy who responds like this.”

Saying that, Dylan showed Jenny the message that had arrived on his cell phone.

The reply to the message I sent saying that it is difficult to see your face without seeming too concerned.

[Dylan. I’m okay. I recently met the organism of my life and I’m doing very well.]

“… … .”

[It’s a very delicate, capable, and excellent organism. It’s an organism that I can trust and entrust all my work to myself.]

Dylan asked Jenny with a serious expression.

“It seems like Van has finally gone mad.”

“… … .”

The pub fell into quiet silence.
