The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 866

Eyes that see fate (2)

At the end of a quiet foggy lake.

The lake is so large that the horizon cannot be seen in the distance, and is a huge waterway that occupies a corner of an undeveloped area.

As a side effect of the development project, the water accumulated here only increases without draining, but despite this, the lake does not rot or the water quality becomes cloudy.

This is because the pollutants, a mixture of preservatives and radiation that have settled in large quantities beneath the lake, do not even allow any bacteria or microorganisms to approach.

Although it looks infinitely clean, on the contrary, it is a lake of death that does not allow any living creatures to inhabit.

At this lake, which is considered one of the most dangerous environments among undeveloped areas, Lennok and Evelyn were waiting for someone.

Weeing!

Evelyn, who was riding the yacht and operating the motor with one hand, frowned.

“Antares?”

“It seems that only a few people within the mercenary group know exactly.”

Lennok, who was sitting across from me and biting into a cigarette, answered.

“Felix must have known because he went on a pilgrimage with Antares. “His vice-captain, Stella, is probably aware of it as well.”

“I thought the reason he was traveling around the continent was because he had no regrets about the matter.”

As if Evelin had never expected it, she let go of the oar and quietly fell into thought.

“In the first place, is it true that Antares also wants the solution that Felix wants?”

“well… … “I don’t know exactly what Antares is thinking as he travels the continent.”

When I shook off the tobacco ash onto the lake, the ash was purified and disappeared as if it had been washed.

Lennok, who was looking at the scene curiously, spoke again.

“However, Antares is not a person who bothers to touch what he already knows.”

“… … .”

“Maybe you think your own ending is something that shouldn’t be changed… … .”

That’s why Felix was planning to meet Lapis alone and ask her to help Antares, without telling anyone else.

If you are a visionary who believes that the value is not in what you know but in what you do not know, you will not want anyone’s help.

Neither Lennok nor Antares knows what he is thinking.

However, it was a note that Stella handed over. Only the place and time written in it replaced Antares’ answer.

Evelyn, who had been silent, asked.

“so… … “Did you accept it too?”

“It’s just a secondary reason.”

Lennok responded, inhaling smoke.

“Antares and the mercenary group have cooperated several times so far, so there is no reason to refuse first. But most importantly… … .”

wickedness!!

Lennok nodded, looking at the fog slowly clearing in the distance.

“It must be Lapis’s own will.”

From the end of the empty lake, I feel like something is approaching.

A strange sense of incongruity that seems to clearly exist even though it is not visible.

Lennok’s gaze looks beyond the distorted horizon, with a strange shimmer that seems to reflect somewhere else at the same time.

Whoa!!

A pure white ship rose and appeared on the surface of the lake, which was broken like a mirror.

A ship shape made of ivory with an ornately carved exterior. It is quite small, barely able to fit three or four people.

Lennok slowly placed his hand on his face as it looked mysterious, as if an old kiln had been remodeled into the shape of a ship.

“It’s been a while since I used this identity.”

Pot!!

Watcher Evan. Is it Evan Martinez now?

When Lennok, whose face had turned into the fire mage that Lapis and Evelyn remembered, raised his head, Evelyn opened her mouth slightly and looked blankly at Lennok.

“… … That’s a great disguise. “This is the first time that I haven’t been able to catch the moment of change even with my visual acuity.”

“This is because the speed of face shift is proportional to mana manipulation, not mastery.”

Lennok said casually.

“Don’t worry, even the Archmage won’t recognize you.”

“No, I wasn’t worried.”

Even as Evelyn said that, she glanced back at Lennok, as if she was quite amazed.

“It’s not about drastically changing the face, but it’s about making a completely different impression…” … Even when I look at the before and after disguise, I can’t quite figure out something… … .”

Lennok smiled bitterly as he looked at Evelyn, who was looking at her face strangely.

“It is a magic that changes perception itself. Even you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart with the naked eye.”

The disguise magic used by Lennok is the result of countless modifications to the extent that no original, common magic remains.

As it is a core technology that supports multiple identities, Lennok also did not spare any investment in research and time.

As a result, the disguise magic completed at level 8 was so magical that even Lennok himself could not distinguish it without magic.

“Stop watching and get ready. “It looks like they found us over there too.”

“Why don’t you change it from the beginning of the year when it’s blooming?”

Evelyn stood up embarrassedly and scolded him.

“What good is it if you change your face and identity and have a cigarette that you smoke alone?”

“… … know.”

Lennog threw away the tobacco with a sullen expression and took out a thick cigar from his pocket.

Skillfully cut off the end, light it and put it in your mouth.

click!

“Among the high-end products released recently, this product has a strong scent. “This should be enough.”

“… … .”

Evelyn looked at Lennok, who was smiling in satisfaction, as if in shock, and then sighed.

“done. “Someone stop me.”

thud!!

Meanwhile, a pure white boat appears from the other side of the lake and approaches, narrowing the distance.

A faint ghost-like presence whose presence is not felt at all even though I see it with my own two eyes.

However, things become clearer little by little as Lennok and Evelyn set their sights on the boat.

Only after it comes fully into view, does it feel as if its entire existence has been laid down on this lake.

A transcendental ability that is activated based on the act of ‘looking.’

It was proof that the piece was established here in a definite form and was gaining substance.

Evelyn, who spotted the figure appearing at the head of the small boat, smiled slightly and said.

“Lapis, welcome to the great city.”

“… … Evelyn.”

Sarak!!

He walks forward, sweeping the hem of his pure white clothes that hang down to his toes.

An elegant figure with her rich blue hair tied up, carefully arranging the jewelry in her hands and looking down.

Although he has now grown tall enough to be called an adult without feeling awkward, he still has a calm impression that is inappropriate for his age.

Without hesitation, Lapis got down from the pure white boat toward the yacht and gently hugged Evelyn.

Evelyn smiled while stroking Lapis’ head.

“what’s the matter? “I saw it once a while ago because of Operation Paradox Siege.”

“That was then, and now is now. and… … ”

Lapis let go of Evelyn with an expression of embarrassment, then turned her gaze towards Lennok.

The way she looked at Lennok seemed to be filled with some strange emotion.

“I didn’t know that you would really persuade me to bring you. how… … .”

“I told you before. “This guy will at least pretend to listen when I visit him.”

Suddenly, Evelyn shrugged her shoulders and answered.

“It’s because it’s difficult to summon him, but I was confident that I could persuade him once I met him.”

“You tried to meet me with only such flimsy grounds?”

“But you accepted it, right?”

“… … .”

Lennok looked at Evelyn in shock, but did not deny her words out loud.

In fact, it was true that he still felt indebted to Evelyn.

“okay… … .”

Lapis looked at Evelyn and Lennok alternately with strangely sparkling eyes.

Evelyn patted Lapis on the shoulder a few times and then immediately stood up.

“I saw that Lapis came, so I’ll just go. “I need to disappear quickly before I get noticed.”

“Are you planning to move like you said last time?”

“okay. “To organize in advance any forces or elements that could pose a risk to Lapis inside the city.”

Evelyn nodded and raised her magic power.

“If we are caught together, nothing good will come of it. Above all, now that we have Evan, we can trust him and go back first to sort things out.”

In a situation where Cheon-gyeon’s granddaughter is visiting the Balkan City Council, there is not much a high-ranking official like Evelyn can do.

Although she was fired from her job as an agent and is now without proper work, her affiliation itself has not changed.

Even if he is not currently in office, it is highly likely that a powerful person at the level of Emperor Xuanzong will officially support the Qing’s eyes, causing conflict.

If you make a mistake, it’s not surprising if you cause unnecessary trouble to both Lapis and the agent.

Therefore, instead of officially intervening in this situation, Evelyn decided to secretly protect Lapis behind her back.

Lapis also lowered her head as if she had heard about Evelyn’s decision in advance, as if she had been shamed.

“I’m sorry, Evelyn. It would be nice if I didn’t have to suffer because of my stubbornness… … .”

“Well, this can’t even be called hardship. “I’m more worried about you.”

Evelin smiled faintly and shook her head.

“No matter what happened, the city council will try to extract more from you.”

“… … .”

“be careful. Even if Evan and I can help with the visible danger, dealing with the city council… … .”

“yes. “Please leave it to me.”

Lapis answered with a smile.

There was a firmness in her voice that did not show any signs of wavering.

“It won’t take long either way.”

“… … okay. “You will take care of it.”

Perhaps because she thought it was useless to warn Lapis now, Evelyn brushed her hair and nodded.

“Call me when you arrive at the central area. See you later then.”

Huh… … !!

At the same time as those words were spoken, Evelyn’s new form instantly dispersed and disappeared like fog.

A stealth technique so clever that you don’t even know where it has disappeared to on this empty lake.

“As always, Evelyn’s presence is really… … “Even with my supernormal abilities, it’s difficult to recognize it.”

“Let’s move for now.”

While Lapis was looking around curiously, Lennok grabbed the yacht’s motor.

Since we took a boat to the center of the lake, we had to invest a lot of time on the way back.

“Is it okay if I leave that boat here?”

“Ah, about that part… … .”

Lapis, who was slightly concerned about Lennok, asked cautiously.

“Is it okay if I take that boat to the lakeside? I have an attendant with me… … .”

“attache?”

In exchange for meeting the city council in person and negotiating a treaty, Lapis accepted the condition of visiting the city without accompanying the Watcher.

The fact that he asked Evan for help in the process was also possible because Lennok did not officially accept the karma of the Watcher.

Lapis seemed to have sensed that thought in Lennok’s question and immediately answered.

“Oh, not a watcher. If I were to ask you exactly… … .”

“Lapis.”

A woman’s clear voice rang out from the boat.

“Is this man the descendant of Jindun that Lapis mentioned?”

At the edge of the shining white boat, a crane with bluish feathers stood proudly.

Lennok smiled inadvertently at the sight of the crane looking at him suspiciously with strangely stern eyes.

“A crane that can speak is a highly advanced spirit creature. “Have you been carrying something like this around without me seeing you?”

“… … Something like this. “These are truly unreasonable words and actions.”

The crane’s eyebrows twitched subtly.

“I heard that you have an intemperate temperament. If you are a person that Lapis cares about, wouldn’t it be better to pay more attention to etiquette?”

“Pa, Patia.”

“I don’t want to be lectured about human etiquette by a spirit creature I’ve never seen before. Who is it?”

Ignoring the embarrassed Lapis, Lennok smiled and responded.

“Seeing as you’re talking about Jindun, it seems like you know something about me.”

The only people who know or guess that Evan has inherited Jindun’s barrier technique within the Blue Eye are the observers who participated in the operation of the Hanghasa Labyrinth.

It is clear that Lapis told him that fact, given that the spirit creature in front of him knew that fact.

Although he is an attendant who is trusted by Lapis, if he does not receive the karma of a watcher, he must have considerable history.

The crane called Patisya clicked its beak in response to Lennok’s question, and Lapis opened her mouth one step ahead.

“Evan. Patisya is not a spirit being, but a long-lived servant of Kundara.”

“… … “A long-lived species of Kundara?”

Does this mean that the precious creature that stays in the lonely city and does not come out serves Lapis and acts as her attendant?

When Lennok turned his gaze towards Patisia at the unexpected explanation, Patisia proudly puffed out her feathers and said,

“I left Kundara and took refuge in the lighthouse to repay the favor I received from Heavenly Gyeon a long time ago, and now I serve Lapis.”

“… … .”

“He is not yet a watcher, but his heart is no less lacking than that of other human species. No, on the contrary, it would not be an exaggeration to say that I am encouraging the loyalty of other observers.”

“You seem strangely confident… … .”

“Patishia was born in Kundara, is familiar with etiquette and auxiliary skills, and has a keen sense of reading transcendent energy or intentions.”

When Lennok looked at something interesting, Lapis slightly lowered her head.

“So, originally, I didn’t even talk about Evan at all… … .”

“That means they first noticed Jindun’s barrier technique on the lighthouse. understood.”

Lennok nodded, let go of the oar he was holding, and stood up from the ferryboat.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. “This yacht is definitely too heavy to carry several people.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“If you burn a crane with such good looks, it wouldn’t be surprising if it quickly sank.”

“… … .”

Patisia twitched her eyebrows wildly at those words, but did not give any answer as to whether she acknowledged that she was a bit heavy to get on the yacht.

When Lennok put Lapis on the boat first and then got on, Lapis motioned as if she had been waiting.

Wow!!

The shape of a boat that moves smoothly across the water even though its sails are not properly deployed.

“Evan.”

After confirming that there was no problem with the boat, Lapis immediately turned to face Lennok.

Lapis slightly lifted the hem of the clothes she was wearing, bowed her head deeply and spoke politely.

“Thank you so much for helping us with this. What on earth should I tell you? … .”

“It would be better to be clear about that.”

Lennok replied harshly while holding a cigar in his mouth.

“It’s not Cheong’s eyes, I’m just interested in what you’re trying to do. “I’m still not interested in the role of watcher.”

“… … Still, it doesn’t change the fact that Evan helps me.”

Lapis smiled softly, looking more relieved than anything else.

“That’s enough for me.”

“… … .”

“You are a less honest person than you look. “Why is it so difficult to say I’m here to help and receive thanks?”

“Are you feeling okay?”

Lennok ignored the needless interference and immediately asked Lapis.

“It didn’t look that good last time I saw it.”

“Oh, that’s… … .”

The sight of Lapis slightly lowering her head while trailing off her words.

Lapis must also be remembering the exchange of thoughts through the lighthouse.

While dealing with Deadrise’s general, Feisha Grisburn, Lennok had contacted Lapis and had a conversation.

Lapis’s thoughts at that time were extremely unstable, something Lennok also remembered.

“Yes, I’m okay now.”

Lapis said while gently stroking her cheek.

Lennok watched in silence as she unconsciously tried to smooth out her expression.

“No matter how we started, we can’t stop now.”

“… … .”

“I must also work hard to ensure that the time of those who devoted themselves to the answer I have decided is not wasted.”

The words Lapis muttered like that seemed like she was repeating them to convince herself, not anyone else.

Lennok opened his mouth after seeing Patisia looking at Lapis with pitiful eyes.

“I heard that what you want is a ceremony to correct the supernormal abilities of Heavenly View.”

“… … .”

“However, no matter how much you hide it, it is unlikely that the city council will find out. “If you decide to intervene, it could be very dangerous.”

Lennok said while looking at Lapis.

“I will help, but I plan to act at my own discretion, regardless of whether the ritual is successful or not. Do you understand?”

As the Eye of Blue grows in power and becomes an organization that has established itself on the central front, Lapis’ role as a central point also becomes more important.

The reason we were able to recruit talented people from all over was because many people sympathized with the answer that only Lapis could provide.

At least at this point, Lapis shouldn’t die.

Lennok made Lapis aware of that fact and declared in advance that he would make that a priority.

“As someone who is receiving help, I have no intention of complaining. “I will leave it entirely to Evan’s judgment.”

Lapis also calmly nodded as if she was convinced.

She smiled softly while stroking her hair and looked up at Lennok.

“More than anything, I trust Evan.”

“… … .”

“Ever since we first met in the Dominion, always… … .”

Lapis’ gentle gaze has become much more mature than before.

But Lennok looked away, pretending not to notice as he put out his almost completely smoked cigar.

Regardless of how much Lapis trusts Lennok, she couldn’t be certain that he would be able to live up to those expectations.

Lennok is not with them because he thinks Lapis’ answer or the tone of Blue Eyes is right.

I don’t think that the maintenance of heavenly knowledge and the supernormal abilities of a lighthouse keeper are truly the answer for this world.

However, because they intellectually understand that their existence is helpful to the survival of this world, they only lend their power like this occasionally.

Perhaps Lapis doesn’t know either. Lennok may know why he never received the Watcher’s karma.

However, the fact that Lapis says she trusts Lennoc like this is probably…

“You’ve arrived. “It’s over there.”

While we were talking about various things, the boat had already arrived at the end of the lake.

Because the polluted lake is located at the end of an undeveloped area, you have to travel further even after leaving the lake.

For that purpose, Lennok and Evelyn prepared transportation in advance and prepared it at the end of the lake.

Lapis also seemed to recognize it and pointed to a group of armored vehicles visible in the distance.

“Is this the vehicle Evan prepared?”

“okay.”

“It’s not just one?”

“The moisture in this lake can easily damage things. This is especially true for complex equipment such as vehicles.”

Lennok responded by taking out a new cigar from his pocket and biting into it.

“I brought in a military vehicle from an abandoned banner, so at least one of them will still be back in good condition.”

Lennok, who was saying that, stopped mid-sentence while lighting a cigar.

Lapis and Patisia turned their gaze.

“Evan?”

“Is there something wrong?”

“Armored vehicles parked by the lakeside. “I picked up five abandoned military vehicles nearby.”

Slam!!

Lennok responded as he released the safety device with one hand and stood up.

“There are fifteen now.”

“… … !!”

At that moment, a missile launcher soared over the trunk of an armored vehicle looking back from afar.

Doo doo doo doo!!!

Dozens of missiles were launched at the boat without even a greeting or response.

While the Patissia’s complexion hardened, Lennok raised his magic power and stretched out his hand to the end of his sleeve.

Wow!!

A huge metal pillar heavily engraved with complex incantations and characters is placed at the head of the boat.

There was a ventilation hole at the end of the rectangular pillar, and a complex ignition device was embedded at the top.

It looks as if it was designed to hold a huge lighter horizontally.

At the same time, a dark red barrier of complex shape began to spread out in all directions of the lake, centered around Lennok.

Paaaa!!

“W-Is this a barrier technique?!”

“While I quit my job as a watcher, I also achieved some success in my research on Jindun’s techniques.”

Lapis, who was trying to respond by chanting as she saw the missile falling on her head, turned her head in embarrassment.

“By applying the concept of ‘isolation’, which has reached a transcendental level, to flame magic, its characteristics can be rewritten.”

Flame-type unique magic is a type of magic that has many uses among the elemental magic used by Lennok.

Moreover, Lennok, who had dealt with the combustion magic of the old world used by the Blader Mage Master, Taigeuk Incarnation, was aware of the fact that its properties could be freely changed and reused.

What is needed is to use the knowledge of the barrier technique inherited from another ascendant to become a drawing board so that one’s nature and characteristics can be rewritten in an instant.

“I’ll show you now.”

bang!!

As soon as he kicked the ignition device with one foot, Lennok’s magic power, which rotated violently within his body, was neatly aligned.

It embraced the intention that burned like a flame and turned into a dazzling flame on the spot.

Change in properties throughout combustion

Flame heat modeling gunpowder alchemy

[Saturated Armament No. 666: Powder magazine deployed]

[Contagious incineration]

[Revolutionary ammunition storage]

The moment when a stream of flames from the ignition device ran across the water and reached the ground hundreds of meters away.

Dozens of flaming cannons rose above the transparent lake and began to form a vast formation centered on Lennok.
