The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 883

Eyes that see fate (19)

Whiuuu… … .

A burning garbage dump with acrid smoke.

In the smoke that completely obscured the view, Evelyn slowly lowered her posture, leaving behind the fallen Lennok.

“ha… … . “Why on earth did things happen like this?”

Evelyn crouched down, rubbed her face with one hand, and muttered.

Her face looked uncharacteristically distressed.

Lennok raised his upper body and naturally covered one hand.

You will be able to talk to Evelyn only if you block the ears of the Patissia within the ring.

“How much time do we have?”

“3 minutes. “You have to clean up the place and leave.”

Evelyn answered quickly.

“I have not returned to public office, so I cannot cover the trends of other forces. “I will come looking for you soon.”

“Right.”

“Even considering the charge of attempted assassination of Vice Mayor Wainston, how do you plan to handle Lapis’s matter?”

Evelyn asked straight away without waiting for Lennok to speak.

Evelyn slightly bit her lip and looked at Lennok with a strong gaze.

“Why at that point… … “Did you make that choice?”

“… … Calm down. “If you’re that excited, you won’t be able to hear anything.”

Lennok smiled bitterly and shook his head.

3 minutes. Within that time, you must explain the whole story to Evelyn and convince her of Lennok’s decision.

Lennok quickly organized his words in his head and quickly opened his mouth.

“Vice Mayor Weinston betrayed me immediately after entering District 19. “They had no intention of showing us the inside of the closed area from the beginning.”

“… … .”

“While escaping, it was discovered that he clashed with the vice mayor, and a wanted arrest order was issued. “With his mind half shattered, there is virtually no way he will be traced.”

Lennok said, activating the array device on his forearm to expel heat.

“That’s why I decided to entrust the job to someone who is unlikely to fail.”

“that… … “It’s really absurd.”

Evelyn muttered, unable to hide her absurd expression.

“That’s a big thing to say, but what I’m saying is that you passed on the troublesome work to someone else.”

“… … The expression is a bit odd. “It was a delicate division of labor that took into account the necessary aptitudes at the right time.”

“… … .”

Evelyn was about to say something in annoyance, but closed her mouth.

She, who had a desperately patient expression on her face, sighed softly and nodded.

“Okay, I understand. Rather than running away while waiting for the wanted order to be lifted, would you rather bring in a bigger problem and distract it?”

“If you use the reputation of fastness to obscure the essence of the matter, even the central council will not be able to avoid being distracted.”

Lennok answered and stood up.

Lennok, who made eye contact with Evelyn, spoke with a serious expression.

“All that is needed is for me to resolve this situation myself.”

“… … “It’s a conclusion.”

In an instant, Evelyn’s expression turned serious.

“If you can say that with such confidence, then you have also mastered the Avatar Art?”

“… … .”

“If you want to exist in a different time and space, you literally have no choice but to create another version of yourself. “There are only a very few techniques that can do something like that.”

Evelyn, who knew both Van and Evan, seemed to already have an idea of ​​how Lennok revealed both identities at the same time.

“If you think about it, even in the Hanghasa Labyrinth, Lafferd showed great interest in the Avatar technique used.”

Evelyn checked the time on the terminal on her wrist and spoke quickly.

“You said back then that it was difficult to learn because of various problems. But in the end, you succeeded in learning, right?”

“The incarnation technique Raepard uses is a miracle based on faith, so the lineage is a little different.”

Lennok answered.

“But it is true that I was inspired by looking at it. “It helped me organize my thoughts in many ways.”

“Aha, you didn’t learn it from Rafferd?”

Evelyn’s eyes suddenly turned sharp.

“Huh, then where did you learn the technique? “Have you been to Yorta, which is rumored to be the source of the Avatar Art?”

“… … .”

Only then did Lennok, who realized that Evelyn’s question was a highly implied guided question, slightly look away.

Maybe it’s because she’s known Lennok for a long time, but it feels like Evelyn’s intuition has become particularly sharp these days.

If I were to act a little loosely, I would end up being stabbed by the tip of my tongue as sharp as an arrowhead.

Evelyn glared at Lennok with a disapproving look, then shook her head with a dejected look.

“ha… … . Sorry. “Actually, I have no right to say anything about this matter.”

“… … .”

“Because I was the first to leave Lapis in charge and leave. You couldn’t help it either… … No, it still had to be this way?!”

Even though she tried to blame herself by reflecting on her mistakes, Evelyn could not possibly understand the idea of ​​throwing both Fast and Evan on the board at the same time.

“There are about 40 seconds left.”

Lennok smiled, took her outstretched hand, and stood up.

“Can you explain why there hasn’t been any contact for a while?”

“Soon, a meeting will be held in extreme secrecy within the Balkans.”

“… … .”

“I think we’re going to gather together the top level 8 talents and discuss something, but that’s why I was called to the Senate.”

“It’s a meeting… … .”

“… … sorry. “It’s my fault after all.”

Evelin’s expression was momentarily clouded with a faint sense of guilt.

He must be blaming himself for entrusting security duties to Lennok and not being able to step forward until things turned out like this.

However, Lennok had no intention of questioning Evelyn’s fault at this point.

Evelyn is also an archer who has transcended the hierarchy and reached level 8. Even if she has been idle since being fired from her job as an agent, there is no one who can treat her power and status with vain.

It is rather natural to be forcibly called in for a meeting or to leave the room unintentionally.

On the contrary, if he had stayed there to help Lennok instead of responding to the call, he would have been under unnecessary suspicion and the situation would have become complicated.

“Then those warriors who came with you… … .”

Evelyn nodded at Lennok’s words.

“These are the people scheduled to participate in the meeting. “After the discussion was over, they discussed you, so I joined in.”

As the smoke slowly cleared, I could feel people approaching quickly from around me.

Other drones are heading here following the spot where Evelyn fell.

There isn’t much time.

Lennok patted Evelyn’s shoulder and whispered quietly.

“Lapis is in the magic tower. “If he touches her, she’ll know where to go.”

“… … .”

Although he placed Lapis in the tower as a fast-keeper, Lennok had no intention of letting Lapis escape the magic tower alone and head to the fortress.

As I thought there must have been some reason why Evelyn couldn’t contact me in the first place, I knew that she would definitely contact me, even if it was belated.

From the beginning, Lennok had decided on the job to be entrusted to this archer.

“I’ll leave the timing up to you. “Can you do it?”

“… … “What do you think of me?”

Evelyn smiled bitterly and tilted her head.

“Double movement operations are the basics of being an intelligence agent. don’t worry.”

“good.”

Lennok laughed, took a step back, and patted his chest.

“Don’t get sick. “It’s possible, right?”

“Well, I can’t guarantee that, can I?”

Evelin smiled mischievously and raised her fist.

“I might get a little emotional, so take it as you please…” … !!”

At the same time as she said those words, Evelyn filled her magic and punched Lennok’s solar plexus.

Paaaa!!

At the same time that Lennoc caught Evelyn’s fist with both hands, a violent shock wave erupted and quickly pushed Lennok’s new form across the street.

At the same time, the acrid smoke rising from all directions cleared due to the wind pressure, and other warriors who discovered Evelyn immediately landed next to her.

“Iveline Marcia… … ! Are you okay?”

The woman leading the soldiers shouted urgently, leaving Evelyn standing with one hand clenched into a fist.

“I contacted the operation room. Call the medical team right away… … !!”

“… … No need for a medical team. “Because it’s already over.”

Evelyn’s expression, as she slowly let go and turned around, had suddenly become calm.

She looked back at the alleyway where Lennok had disappeared with sharp eyes and nodded.

“Since they ran that way, try to narrow the siege. “I hit him once, but the damage probably wasn’t that big.”

“… … “What about that one?”

“I’m done here. “I have work to do.”

Evelyn then smiled bitterly and turned around.

“I don’t know if this is right, but you have to do what I ask you to do until the end.”

* * *

Pheeuuu… … !!

Lennok’s new form flew across the alley, smoke billowing from its entire body, flashing and blinking on the spot.

Papapot!!

Repeating spatial transitions in place, like light blinking in the air.

The center of gravity and balance of the body that was thrown off the spot are instantly restored.

Kakak!!

“Whoa… … .”

A huge fire vortex that burned the entire old apartment complex as firewood.

The construction zone on the outskirts of District 45, so far away that the brilliant flames are now barely visible.

Lennok slowly gathered himself between the half-built and abandoned clumsy steel structure and the concrete piles with dust flying around.

“My senses are coming back little by little.”

As the maximum horsepower amount is increased with the magic power of the open sea, the magic power that was out of control begins to be controlled little by little.

Although it is not at the level of being able to control all the overflowing magical power and control it completely at will, at this level, it may be possible to chant the blinking sound between battles.

The moment Lennok put the cigar in his mouth and picked up the lighter, thinking that, he heard Patisia’s voice.

“The fastness of the Balkans… … . “I only heard about it through vague rumors, but it really was an unbelievable monster.”

Patisia, who had been watching the situation from inside the guide ring that Lennok was wearing, spoke up when her eyes disappeared.

“I have rarely heard of a human species of such vicious stature.”

“… … .”

“It is said that there are many powerful superhumans and outstanding geniuses, but how can everyone who encounters you be trembled and fearful at the mention of that wizard…? … .”

Her voice, shining quietly from within the ring, was noticeably timid.

“Can we really save Lapis?”

I’m not afraid of death, but I’m afraid of failure.

Sometimes, someone’s strength or viciousness feels more real when you hear about it than when you see it in person.

If every human being met in the largest city on the continent predicts a disastrous ending, it is inevitable that everyone will be shaken.

If even the Patisia, who has lived as a long-lived servant for a long time, is not sure, what about this wizard?

Patisia was worried not about herself, but about the wizard who was walking with her through the darkness of the city.

“No matter what, you can’t expect success from the start.”

Lennok answered, putting the flame of the lighter to the end of the cigar in his mouth.

“I don’t think Lapis would have been certain of the future as it is now when she founded the Blue Eyes with the help of Heaven’s Eye. “This incident is the same.”

“that… … .”

“If you actually meet a quick-witted person, things might turn out easier than you think. “Won’t you have to go there first to find out?”

Lennok laughed.

“The details were all different, but the things I dealt with through Cheong’s eyes were generally the same. “Don’t think too negatively.”

“… … .”

Patisia did not answer that question.

However, he was silent for a while with an expression of agony, and then with difficulty raised his voice.

“You are a strong person. How can you say that even under these circumstances? … .”

“… … .”

“I think I can understand a little bit why Lapis trusted and relied so much on you, even though you were not her lord.”

“… … well. “I’m not a very trustworthy person.”

Lennok smiled bitterly.

As much as Patishia gained appreciation and the trust Lapis placed in him, he knew better than ever that Lennok was not a sound human being.

“In the end, the reason things got so complicated was the result of Lapis trusting me and entrusting me with the job. “I’m just picking up the overflowing water.”

“Faith should not be determined by the trivial success or failure of something.”

Patisia’s voice, which had been shaking uneasily, suddenly became calm and stable.

“Back in the day, I couldn’t do that. “He abandoned his hometown because he could not fully trust the master he served and could not bear the price.”

“… … .”

“A human being who cannot live for decades is wiser than a spirit being who lives for hundreds of years. It’s almost as funny as the answer Kundara chose… … .”

The lonely city of Kundara.

What happened in the city where the long-lived species live together to avoid destruction?

As the saying goes, “outside life,” perhaps they are really waiting for everything to end outside of their destiny.

However, rather than immediately questioning Patisya about Kundara, Lennok raised his gaze.

A dark alley with no end in sight.

This was because a girl with fluorescent hair that was clearly visible even in the dark was standing alone and looking at Lennok.

A strange figure with a small body and carrying a huge scimitar that does not match his height.

A girl asked, with a long spear that was much longer than her height loosely draped over one shoulder.

“Is Cheongseung all trembled?”

“… … .”

Words and actions that do not match the appearance from beginning to end.

But Lennok knew very well who this girl was.

“It’s been a while since our president and the vampire have different opinions, but at least I agree with Virgil’s opinion.”

thud!!

When he grabbed the huge scimitar and struck it down, a light shock wave was created on the ground and all the dust was pushed around.

“No matter how chaotic the city is, does it make sense to just ignore the guy who set fire to our business and ran away? “You think so too, right?”

“… … “The area I passed through was an old, untouched apartment complex.”

Lennok responded, puffing out smoke.

“It probably doesn’t have much to do with the business you’re talking about.”

“No, it’s a business.”

The third president of the cartel. Merilda, a half-breed of the Hwansu Sect and a master of military skills, answered.

“Plant drugs that were being grown in that apartment complex. “If you add it all up, it’s quite a big deal.”

“… … .”

“The reason I turned a blind eye to the brokers using it as a meeting place was to make it look like a place where people live so as not to get caught by the authorities. “It would be troublesome if things happened like this.”

At the same time as Merilda gestured, a red laser sight flashed through the dark street.

The moment Lennok turned around when he realized it was the scope of an execution unit operated in extreme secrecy within the cartel.

Taang!!

A bullet passed over Lennok’s shoulder and immediately pierced the sign behind his back.

Crack!

The solid iron pillar melts as if it were boiling immediately after being hit.

An incendiary bomb with built-in magic that can be used in a rifle. The heat is so intense that it melts the entire target.

“Don’t talk too long. Get out of our district.”

Merilda shook her head.

“It would be meaningless to ask for compensation from crazy people like Juju. “Just don’t burn anything in this city and I’ll save you if you leave.”

A level 7 person who has completed the hierarchy.

An armed organization within a corporate alliance, including the cartel’s president.

A magnate who most firmly protects the title of the Three Heads in the shadows of the Balkans.

However, Lennok shook his head despite Merilda’s harsh threats.

“I don’t think that’s the case.”

“what?”

“If you are moving because of the workplace, there is no reason to provoke me. “Aren’t you trying to stop me from digging into the nearby area?”

Lennok’s smile as he looked at Merilda faded for a moment.

“It looks as if they are trying to stop me from heading to the Demon Tower of Lightning.”

“… … Tsk.”

Merilda clicked her tongue in annoyance and cursed softly.

“This is why I hate smart guys. “I feel like I’m the only one acting foolish for no reason.”

If Virgil is the one who is moving the power of the cartel, including Merilda, then we can understand the circumstances.

Virgil is one of the executives within the cartel who knows Van well.

I know that Goryeon suffered quite a few injuries from the long fight, and that he wasn’t really crazy.

From Virgil’s point of view, it would not be strange if Ban tried to intervene to prevent any unexpected variables from occurring by fighting Evan right now.

Lennok immediately saw through the fact that talking about the workplace was in fact just a meaningless justification.

“Yeah, Virgil said exactly that.”

Merilda walked forward holding a spear and glared at Lennok and said.

“I shouldn’t let you meet Lightning. “They said you might be a wizard who returned alive from a very dangerous war.”

“… … .”

Lennok’s expression changed slightly at Merilda’s words.

Not many people would know about the things Lenno handled as Evan Martinez, as most of them took place far away from the Balkans.

How much information has Virgil already gained on that point?

“To be honest, I still don’t know if you’re that much of a wizard… … .”

thud!!

When I lift the scimitar and hold it tightly, a strong wind comes out centered around Merilda.

On the spot, Merilda’s weight increased rapidly, giving the illusion that the entire ground was bending around her.

Slurp!

Merilda said, swinging her smooth spear blade as if cutting through the grain of the wind.

“The chairman didn’t say anything, so I guess I’ll just do it.”

“… … .”

“So, are you going to fight me, or are you going to leave like this?”

Lennok glanced behind Merilda and smiled delicately.

“Because I have already dealt with warriors who are good at using weapons.”

“what?”

“You get tired of it twice.”

Good luck!!

As soon as Lennok took a step forward, flames spread out behind his back like a spray of fire.

Four intensely burning flames split in four directions like wings of flame, pushing Lennok’s body forward.

Quaaaaaaa!!

Lennok’s new model accelerated at a tremendous speed and passed by Merilda.

“hey!!”

Merilda, furious, reacted immediately, brandishing her spear and chasing after Lennok.

“Stand right there, you bastard!!”

* * *

District 21. An old cathedral located in a back alley of an underdeveloped street.

A quiet chapel untouched by people.

A nun was sitting in front of a pipe organ with her eyes covered with an eyepatch.

“okay. The search in this area is over. “The police won’t come looking for you for a while.”

Gently press the keys of the organ and make the pipes sound.

The appearance of a nun who follows a certain rhythm and matches the tone, only opening her mouth while making sounds.

“I disposed of any remaining traces of magical power or intention as you said. “Even the inspector sent by the city council didn’t notice.”

[This is a magic shielding technology recently developed at the Ellavine Magic Tower.]

At that moment, a deep man’s voice rang out over the pipe organ.

A strange phenomenon in which opinions are exchanged through a medium called an organ.

The doctor spoke in a condescending voice.

[It has not been officially announced to the academic society yet, so it would be difficult for even city council investigators to find out.]

“But why are you asking me to go to this lengths and remain in District 21? Even if traces are discovered, you can move your residence. “It’s not difficult.”

[The 21st district of the megacity is an area that has not yet been redeveloped due to its unique topography.]

The doctor answered.

[It is located on the border between the central area and the outskirts, so there is no significant investment, and on the contrary, it is an awkward place that cannot be completely excluded from development.]

“then… … .”

[But from now on, it will be the best seat to watch the show taking place in this city.]

“A show?”

[Reviewer Evan Martinez. I met him once at the Hanghasa Labyrinth.]

smart.

The doctor’s voice seems to sink deeper on the other side of the organ.

A voice that slowly reflects back on memories, as if lost in deep thought.

[A human who inherited the legacy of the ascendant from the Cradle of Jindun. And it is a monster that places great restrictions on the church’s actions.]

“… … .”

[I don’t know if it’s a talent comparable to lightning, but the magic that that man has achieved is no less than that of that crazy wizard.]

“that… … .”

[There are very few opportunities to see wizards who have reached this level clash with each other so publicly.]

The doctor’s voice playing the organ was mixed with a smile that couldn’t be hidden.

[Hi Leah. Prepare for Aguilon’s Thoughts. To open a mock ritual space and gather other members of Pandemonium.]

The doctor whispered.

[I wonder if the absurd plan Damus suggested is really something we should try at least once. Because what happens in this city will prove it.]
