Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 844
Only Krnovel
The evening after Evelyn returned to the mansion after she ran away in embarrassment.
Lennok was brooding over the story he and Evelyn had shared about Lapis.
‘I heard from Pandaemonium that Lapis completed the hierarchy, but…’
I remember that at the Pandemonium meeting, Damus himself mentioned that fact and said that Lapis had reached level 7.
It wouldn’t be strange for Evelyn to tell Lennok about that fact in itself.
It is also true that Lapis completed the hierarchy at a very fast pace through the supernatural powers of the heavenly dog and the support of lighthouses built all over the continent.
However, the fact that Lapis, who had completed the hierarchy, would personally visit the Balkan City Council was surprising.
Not to mention, Lapis is one of the very few people involved who knows where Evan, belonging to the Blue Eye, started.
“I’m tired…”
Lennok murmured involuntarily at the thought of a re-emerging identity.
I had been dealing with and talking to Evelyn all morning, so even after sleeping half a full day, I was quite tired.
Not to mention, at the end of the story, the answer that Lennock gave verbally was—
“ha…..”
Lennok sat on the couch with a wet towel covering his face, tilting his head back as if he were reclining.
After the decisive battle with Do-rae, after being broken in a mess by Croken, I was convinced.
Still, this is the first time I’ve spoken to someone directly.
A declaration that he will overcome the 8th level, which has been stagnant for a long time, and become qualified to challenge the ascension.
Resolve to reach level 9 and come up with an answer beyond the end of this world.
It was only after Yorta’s journey was over that Lennok could accept the fact that he had to become an Ascendant.
“…I don’t know if it was a good thing.”
It was as if he had actually answered Ibelin’s guess through the battle with the magician.
Perhaps Evelyn also had a firm conviction about who was in Yorta.
But what meaning did Evelyn take in Lennoc’s words?
At first glance, it seemed that I understood, but on the contrary, it seemed that I did not understand.
Just as Lennok can’t fully sympathize with Evelyn Marcia’s way of life, maybe Evelyn thinks so too when she sees Lennok.
However, if it wasn’t for that kind of answer, Lennok wouldn’t have been able to convince Evelyn in the end.
If I hadn’t explained that all the journeys between good and evil, wandering across continents, were for one unchanging purpose.
If I had to show that what Lennok wanted hadn’t changed between when we first met and now, that would have been the only way.
He’s someone you can trust, and he’s someone you shouldn’t turn to as an enemy.
It would be undesirable to oppose a collaborator with that level of talent, skill, and character… No, this wasn’t it.
I tried to convince him by giving excuses and reasons that weren’t the same, but the reason Lennok moved was simple.
I wanted to be honest, and I didn’t want to betray.
I knew I had to if I needed it, but I didn’t because I didn’t need it.
How can a person who is unable to honestly convey a word get an honest answer to his wishes?
Even while forcibly eliciting contradictory logic and answers, Lennok wanted to tell Evelyn.
That Lennok believed in her.
“……”
I’m still not sure if I got it right.
Because I tried to convey something that cannot be conveyed through words, it is formless and leaves a lingering lingering feeling.
Even indulging in this sentiment was ultimately Lennok’s choice and regret.
I just want Evelyn to ponder and think about this as much as Lennok does.
[Weing, weing.]
Darby let out a strange noise in his arms while Lennok rubbed his face with a towel, lost in such trivial sentiments.
[Drurling.]
“……?”
Wheein, Drurreuk.
While I was looking down at Dabi with a puzzled expression, the printer in the corner of the living room started working on its own and spewed out some papers.
As if 95% of the previous content had been omitted, the report was sent with only the conclusions tied together, leaving the main subject aside.
After reading the context, Lennok realized that this was the result of Murphy’s medical records.
[This is a summary of the checkup record report sent by e-mail by the vampire traded with the master.]
“abridgement?”
[If you transfer the entire checkup record file to paper, it will be about 552 pages. Shall we print it here?]
“…No, that’s it.”
If Darby insisted on drawing conclusions and printing them, most of them would be graphs and numerical notation-related materials in the first place.
It seemed that there would be no problem even if I opened the e-mail and skimmed through it before going to bed.
Lennok immediately tried to look at the medical report that Murphy sent him, but felt something uncomfortable in Darby’s words and turned his head away.
“Davi, come to think of it, did you call a vampire that way?”
[Am I?]
It seems that Darby himself was not too conscious of the title.
Dabi, who tilted her head while wagging her six tails, asked in response.
[But that skinny thing… isn’t it an organism?]
Lennok did not know exactly what nutrients and substances the vampire’s body was made of.
In the first place, most of the vampires Lennok met were troublesome opponents worse than mosquitoes, or partners who were difficult to get close to.
Although he had known a blood mage named Rayan Aither, who had become a vampire from a human, he had not been contacted since he entrusted it to Madam.
“I guess I should do some research on vampires…”
Even among vampires, true blood species are treated as special beings, even in the cowardly city of Kundara, they are treated as long-lived species.
Among them, external officials of the project, such as ‘Pohyeolgong’, who wrote the blood record, are also affiliated.
If Lennok had to find traces of Kaise in Kundara, he would have to be familiar with the long-lived species to some extent.
[Shall we find some related data in the central network?]
“Data that can be accessed through literature or historical sources may not be of much value. It would be faster to ask Madame for a deal than that.”
The oldest broker in the city that Lennok knows, and the one who watched the project fail.
And among the vampires, he is the one who has considerable knowledge and plays the role of mediating the game.
“Last time, I asked for the blood of a person with the highest level of ability and handed it over to the blood of a clown. I will probably ask for the same this time.”
Although he didn’t show it openly, it was certain that he, too, coveted Lennok’s blood.
If the prickly Murphy is distracted by the sight of Lennok’s blood, it is obvious how valuable the blood of a high-ranking superhuman is to a vampire.
After pondering for a moment, Lennok nodded as if he had made up his mind.
“Even in preparation for a deal with Madame, when fighting as a class, I will take the blood of the other person separately.”
[…Hmm, shouldn’t the Master be resentful of such rumors?]
“What did you say?”
[I’m sorry.]
Lennok, who covered Darby’s mouth with both hands, turned his gaze to the report, pretending not to hear.
Ignoring specific numbers or data, I only check the doctor’s opinion written by Murphy himself at the bottom.
Anyway, since most of the equipment Murphy uses is different from the research equipment used by Lennok, it will be difficult to find out something just by knowing the result.
Rather, it is effective to hear the conclusion by collecting only Murphy’s own views or opinions.
As expected, the observations Murphy wrote were densely connected to the back of the report in exceptionally small letters.
= I will not look closely at specific figures or graphs, so I write them here.
= I only say the core. Your genetic information is changing little by little.
“……”
= Basic metabolism, physical ability, and organ functions are still at a low level, but the fields related to magic are completely different.
= Recoil adjustment values, including body magic transfer rate and mana contamination rate, have exceeded the upper limit. It’s not a level that the human body can withstand.
= If this was a checkup record of a total stranger, I would have thought that this was a very noble sub-species or long-lived patient. Or, he must have thought that he had gone through a ‘reconstruction’ equivalent to that.
“Reconstruction…”
As Lennok muttered, he casually passed the paper behind him.
= You only take the form of a human on the surface, but your body is deteriorating from the cellular level due to some reason. The overhealing done to your body can also be explained by the same conclusion.
= The reason you can survive even in the state where blood pressure and blood flow speed are different for each part of your body is because the forced recovery applied to your body was achieved through a technique. To be precise, your body has changed to be able to coexist in that way.
“……”
Apart from the endless remodeling and variations of Lennok’s own magic, did he mean that even Lennok’s body was sympathetic to the change?
A reconstruction that is so insignificant that even Lennok is difficult to recognize just by contemplating and looking into the body, but by no means small in meaning.
The reason he didn’t notice it all this time was probably because Lennok’s talent was concentrated on his abilities as a wizard.
= Because I am not a high-ranking wizard, I cannot accurately determine the cause. It only gives you a rough idea of the overall changes that have taken place in your body.
= However, it seems clear that the change in your body is closer to being optimized as a magician than as a human being. A superman who has reached that level of hierarchy may be literally re-creating himself without even realizing it.
= And as a result of uploading this overrecovery and changes in your body to the Arsnova checkup record database and finding the data, there is only one case.
Turn the paper over again.
The final chapter of Murphy’s lengthy explanation of his findings and examination records.
= An experiment that was conducted in utmost secrecy even inside Arsnova, and was not even evaluated for its risk level. It seems there was a case like yours among the patients who participated there.
“……”
= Only the rate of change of the biometric information recorded in the database can be found out by matching to some extent. I don’t have any more data than that. If you want information about a related experiment, you’ll have to go to someone else.
We know that Arsnova enjoys the benefits of more advanced civilization and technology than any other city on the continent.
As is the case with many city-states across the continent, Arsnova must have been repeating all sorts of experiments and research for the city.
And Lennok, who had looked directly into the handbook’s well, knew that the central city’s prestige was by no means a lie.
‘The central city created an artificial ascendant like Gyebaek and made them fail on purpose.’
An experiment in which tens of thousands of geas are thrust into human bodies and reorganized into transcendental beings who forcibly challenge ascension.
Wasn’t even Lennok shaken by the crazy idea and method?
No matter what experiments and failures there were in the now destroyed city, it was highly likely that they were already beyond the scope of human judgment.
It would be even more so if it was an experiment that did not even receive a risk assessment in Arsnova.
Perhaps the patient Murphy mentioned was also a victim during the Gyebaek Incident.
“Aurel Silford…”
Fallen Ascendant, Commander Aurel Silford.
However, its true identity was just a monster that was made to be completed as an ascendant and forced to challenge the ascension.
Come to think of it, Lennok still didn’t know anything at that time.
Entrusting consciousness to Gyebaek’s body, facing the open sea beyond the well of handbooks.
Even the moment I looked into the eyes of the dragon with the head of a shark, facing the figures of foreigners floating around as if dreaming of the dark sea.
Even though he knew that he had foreseen the most dangerous and darkest secret of this world, he did not realize the inside story.
At that time, why was Gyebaek recklessly going toward the well of handbooks while gnawing away at the continent?
How did Pandaemonium know that and arrive at the well in advance to deal with Gyebaek?
And, why was the leader able to reconstruct the Geas on Gyebaek’s body so that he could challenge the ascension again?
“…………”
A secret that I was able to understand only after meeting foreign media at the Far East branch, crossing the well of handbooks, and opening the door to ascension in Makina.
One thing I could vaguely guess after returning from the memory of the horse musketeer who said he would save the world by shooting God.
The leader of Pandaemonium is related to the central city of Arsnova.
I don’t know when or where it started or for what reason, but it’s clear that its actions and motives originated in the central city.
[Ah, Master.]
The moment Lennok sipped his coffee in silence at the thought of Arsnova, the Ascension Ritual, Pandemonium, and even the leader.
Darby, who had been crouching languidly on Lennok’s lap, suddenly raised her gaze as if remembering something.
[The vampire wrote a postscript in the mail while sending the checkup record report. I’ll open it right away.]
Dig!!
At the same time as he said that, a hologram screen appeared in front of Lennok’s eyes.
Lennok said as he opened the mailbox by touching the screen with a shy expression.
“Murphy is not so lax as to omit the report and deliver it as a postscript. If it was an important story, I would have rewritten the entire report. It’s likely that it has little to do with the main topic—”
Lennok, who had been saying that, looked at what was written in the postscript and fell silent.
= It’s not a story on the report side, but it’s written here. The city council tried to scout me.
= I ignore it for a while, but the name of the organization that scouted me is familiar.
= I’m asking if you’re thinking of joining a research institute, isn’t this the name of the researcher who works in your magic tower?
Lennox’s eyes went cold for a moment.
“……”
Bylon Institute.
Even if you don’t, you can’t imagine that the name you’ve already stored in your memory will be mentioned once again through Murphy’s mouth.
“Ha… that really bothers me.”
Lennok sat on the sofa, fidgeting on his phone, pondered for a moment, then jumped up with an annoyed expression.
It’s not a matter of setting up a research institute or not, but since Evan’s name was brought up, you should figure out what they’re aiming for to scout talented people from all over the world.
Information that is of concern to this extent is in a situation where it may volatilize and disappear even tomorrow.
I’ll have to check it out now to see what’s going on there.
After pushing away the sleeping pills that were placed next to her, she puts one hand over her face.
As he swept his cheek, Lennok, who instantly changed into a half face, glared at his phone again.
Photo file of Bylon Labs business card enclosed with Murphy’s PS. The road to the lab was simply marked.
“Dabi. Scan this map and connect it directly to the satellite.”
Lennok nodded, his coat off and gloves on his hands.
“If you make a mistake, you might have to flip everything over, so prepare for jamming.”
[I’ll start right away!]
The moment Lennok, who suddenly lifted the electric brain spirit who couldn’t use his legs if he was in a hurry, raised his magic power,
The wizard’s shadow disappeared as if it had disappeared inside the mansion.
