The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 889

Eyes that see fate (25)

“Stair number 8 of the Magic Tower. There is a subtle conflict where the barrier splits. “It seems likely that it will wear out after approximately 300,000 repetitive operations.”

Area 49. The magic tower of fastness.

As there were words of fastness, Jenny did not completely restrict Lapis’s movements.

However, in order to keep an eye on Lapis, mercenaries were attached to her as companions.

But instead of struggling to escape, Lapis was doing something completely different.

While looking around the magic tower, he was informing the mercenaries about loopholes and conflicting parts of the security system.

“The elevator on floor number 7. The magic flow is wearing out. “If the equipment was not installed at the risk of damage, it would be better to replace it.”

“Magic power is leaking out of the barrier from the office on floor 10. “It may be the work of an insider.”

“… … “That’s amazing.”

Su-ryeon, who was writing down what she said next to her, was impressed.

“The parts you just pointed out are all things that the tower is aware of or actually had problems with.”

“… … .”

“In particular, I don’t think we were able to figure out the problem with stair number 10. Considering that the branch of the partner company in question changed frequently, there must have been a problem. “It was helpful.”

“Because I have good eyesight.”

Lapis smiled faintly.

“It’s not a big deal.”

“No, it’s a big deal.”

Suryeon declared.

“The current system that protects the Magic Tower is so complicated that no one except the tower owner, Ban, and Professor Bylon can fully understand it.”

“… … .”

Suryun said without noticing that the smile had disappeared from Lapis’ face.

“I think we can confirm with our own eyes what is possible only with the intuition of an archmage or the eye of a genius scholar.”

Su-ryeon smiled softly.

“As great as his abilities are, the lighthouse keeper must be carrying a heavy mission.”

“… … “I heard that Su-ryeon is from Hek-bang Fortress.”

Lapis quietly changed the topic.

“You left your hometown and are helping the Magic Tower. Have you experienced any inconveniences?”

“Well, are you interested in me?”

Su-ryeon smiled awkwardly.

“It’s a shame, but I didn’t like my hometown. “Rather, I accepted Ban’s offer because I wanted to leave the fortress.”

“… … .”

“The castle I lived in maintained an isolated society for some reason… … “Of course it wasn’t the owners’ fault, but I wanted to leave.”

In the meantime, Suryeon turned towards the stairs that Lapis had newly pointed out and spoke.

“I don’t think this city is much different now, but I have no regrets. “It was difficult to know without experiencing it firsthand.”

“is that so… … .”

“So, it may be presumptuous to say this, but I hope this will be an experience of its own for you.”

Suryun’s expression as she looked back at Lapis turned serious.

“He’s not half evil. “He actually has a mirror-like quality when it comes to dealing with people.”

“… … .”

“I have never seen a high-ranking superhuman try so hard to preserve their humanity.”

“that… … .”

“Of course, it won’t be surprising if what I say sounds like absurd nonsense to you.”

Suryun smiled at Lapis, who did not deny it.

“However, I am confident that you will be able to leave Balkan safely. “Half won’t kill you.”

“… … .”

Even if I incur hostility from Lapis, does that mean I have to say something about fastness to ease my anger?

Although she guessed it from her stiff tone of voice and neat demeanor, Su-ryeon seemed to be a warrior with a more upright character than Lapis thought.

“Ah, lastly, did you say you wanted to stop by the archives room? “Go right away.”

Suryun didn’t wait for Lapis’ answer and headed straight to the archives room.

Dozens of bookshelves filled with thick books and already completed commissioned materials.

It is a quiet place with the smell of paper, as if an entire staircase has been turned into a library.

“Oh, I’ll wait here.”

Suryun let Lapis into the archive room and stopped near the entrance.

“Because all the exits and entrances on this staircase are connected to passages. “If you find any problem, please call me right away.”

“I will.”

Lapis calmed her expression as she looked at Suryun’s back as she turned towards the reading room.

Transparent sky blue eyes looked beyond the quiet bookshelf without a single person in sight.

It’s been a few days since I started going to the library and spending time under the pretext of wanting to read books.

And Lapis didn’t come here just to read books.

“Where should we start today… … .”

I passed by the areas of literature, history, and academic journals, and I passed by the magic area where the magic books were located.

Current events and economy. Take out and open the latest weekly newspaper that mainly reports on social issues.

Bye!!

As the smell of paper wafted in the air, the first thing that caught my eye was the clear photo printed inside.

Lapis’ trembling eyes naturally read the article posted below.

[Director Evan Bylon officially took office at Bylon Institute.]

[The Labatenon University of Magic announced that it plans to continue research in its own direction, despite the formal technical partnership with Lightning… … .]

“… … .”

Evan Bylan. A doctor and full professor at Labatenon University of Magic.

A genius researcher who has achieved a reputation that shook the entire academic world through three thesis presentations.

Currently, he is a genius who has established an unrivaled field in the field of magic theory research in the Balkans, and other cities are paying attention to his achievements and conducting derivative research.

However, the Evan Bylon that Lapis knows is definitely-

“why… … .”

Palak, Palak!!

Lapis’s hands speed up as she searches through the bundles of brochures, newsletters, and files in the storage room.

There are many plausible reasons. If you try to convince it, you can.

But Lapis already knew.

The reason why Evan Bylan joined hands with the craziest wizard in Balkan.

The reason why he wants to get Lapis back by wandering around the city, growing stronger and fighting.

The reason why Evan Martinez said sorry to Lapis at the last moment.

“… … .”

There is something more secret. Maybe it’s more than Lapis can imagine-

Hot!!

Lapis’ hand grabbed the pamphlet, and at that moment she slowly put it down, as if giving up.

A soft voice came from behind me.

“Did you see as much as you wanted?”

“… … !!”

Lapis turned her head and saw Jenny with her arms crossed.

The composition is of Lapis looking through books while leaning diagonally against the bookshelf.

Looking at Lapis, whose expression was stiff, Jenny shrugged her shoulders.

“No matter how much you search, you won’t find the information you want. “I left out all the really important news and confidential information.”

“… … .”

“This storage room is a place that people from our partner companies often visit. “You can’t keep important confidential information in a place where outsiders can access it, right?”

“you… … .”

“Are you interested in Van? No, to be precise, is it a partnership with Professor Evan Bylan?”

Jenny laughed.

“I understand if you wanted to ask for help from the most famous outsider in the city. Professor Bylon wouldn’t refuse a request for half a dozen. “You chose a good option.”

“… … .”

“I don’t know what method they used, but I think they overheard the conversation in Dylan’s hospital room. “After seeing your attitude, I became more certain.”

Did they already guess that Lapis had overheard their conversation?

Looking at Lapis slowly backing away with a wary expression, Jenny slowly lowered her head.

“how will we do it… … It’s hard to overlook the fact that they even tried to drag Professor Bylon into the game… … .”

“… … Do you really know about the wizard named Van?”

Lapis asked softly.

“Don’t you want to know why Lightning is doing this now?”

“… … .”

Among the people Lapis met in this city, Jenny is a very kind and intelligent person.

If so, you might be able to persuade them to the contrary.

If Lapis explains the relationship between Evan and Fast that she vaguely recognizes now and asks for your understanding-

“I can tell if I need to. Maybe this incident itself is actually… … !!”

“What is that?”

Jenny asked back with a smile on her face.

“If we learn more, what difference does it make?”

“yes… … ?”

Jenny slowly walked away, leaving Lapis speechless.

Only Jenny’s voice echoed quietly across the quiet storage room.

“For some reason the class is moving. Did he come to this city with such talent? Why do you want to seek answers and seek salvation? … “Is that important?”

“… … .”

“Even if, just in case… … ”

Jenny smiled bitterly and raised her gaze.

“Even if Van is living a different life somewhere, does it really matter?”

“… … you.”

“Lapis. We are. “We’ve come too far.”

Looking at Lapis frozen in place, Jenny put her hands in her pockets.

“To the point where even doubting each other becomes meaningless. “In fact, it’s even a little scary now.”

“… … that.”

“You too?”

Jenny asked back, as if she knew what Lapis was thinking.

“Because I felt the same thing. “You want to know because you have the same concerns in mind, right?”

“… … .”

Lapis couldn’t answer.

The words Jenny said with certainty seemed to pierce her heart so precisely.

Because Jenny seemed to already know Lapis’s motive, which she was unaware of from the beginning.

“I’m tired… … it is not so?”

Jenny slightly closed her eyes and muttered.

“It’s better to pretend not to care than to care about something. Pretending not to know, ignoring it… … “I guess I couldn’t stand it so I was searching through the storage room.”

Jenny slowly gestured towards the silent Lapis.

“go back. Lapis. “I’ll take a look at it this once.”

“… … .”

“Instead, I will ban entry to the archives room from now on. “You understand, right?”

Without waiting for Lapis’ answer, Jenny smiled and lifted up her phone.

“I received a message from the eyes of Cheong. “I will consult with Ban and try to finish the job before the Watchers return to the Balkans-”

“no. are you okay.”

At that moment, Lapis quietly interrupted Jenny.

From the founding of Blue Eyes to its current position, more than a few years have already passed.

From the time he started with a few followers to the time he entered the central front with thousands of members.

This is not a child who had to rely on others to even make their own decisions.

Lapis smiled and raised her gaze towards Jenny.

“I’ll probably never stop by this storage room again.”

“… … what?”

The moment Jenny’s expression changed as she read more meaning from Lapis’ words.

Whoop!!

All the lights in the storage room were turned off, filling the room with thick darkness.

Kwaang!!

“Damn… … !!”

Jenny, who threw herself forward at the same time as the lights went out, realized that she couldn’t catch anything and screamed.

“Suryun, it’s there!!”

“jenny!! “What happened?!”

Su-ryeon, too, must have come into the storage room as soon as she noticed something was wrong, and was holding a heavy scimitar in one hand.

click!

Jenny turned on the light on her phone, illuminated the spot where Lapis was standing, and bit her lip.

“Lapis Falseer ran away. “We have to catch him before he leaves the tower.”

“Oh, you ran away?!”

Su-ryeon opened her eyes wide, raised her magic power, and made a frustrated expression.

“Really. There is no sign of it at all. How could there be a power outage at this point… … !!”

“It’s not a coincidence. “The timing must have been adjusted by tampering with the tower’s internal facilities in advance.”

Jenny left the storage room with a cold expression and headed toward the lower stairs.

Su-ryeon came out of the storage room belatedly and blamed herself.

“sorry. It’s because of me. I should have kept a close watch… … ”

“It’s not your fault. It was my request to leave the room to talk to Lapis. Rather than that… … .”

Jenny, who finished her decision quickly, bit her lip.

“I deliberately made you come to me. “He was waiting for the moment to meet me alone from the beginning.”

If Lapis had the power of ‘eyes’, she would have known that Jenny was the closest to an ordinary person among the Magic Tower officials.

That’s why Lapis was waiting for the moment when she would be left alone with Jenny, even though she had the power to temporarily black out the facilities in the tower.

Even if Lapis disappears right after the power outage, make sure that Jenny, a low-ranking member of the hierarchy, is hasty in finding Lapis.

“You weren’t leading the huge force called the Blue Eye in vain. “Looking for information on Professor Bylon might have been a bluff to get my interest.”

Jenny muttered as she quickly sent a cell phone message to the officials in the tower.

“Restoration of the facility’s internal system has been completed.”

Faaah!!

At the same time, the lights inside the tower, which had been blacked out, begin to come on again.

The stairs were brightly lit, and the branch signs for businesses in the outer hallway twinkled.

While the magicians who were out suddenly gathered on the stairs and whispered,

widely!

Jenny looked down at the first floor lobby at the bottom of the stairs and lifted her cell phone.

“Close all entrances to the Magic Tower. “From now on, we will have to put all our effort into securing Lapis Palseer’s safety.”

* * *

[Recently, the city council’s guidelines regarding Evan Martinez, an unidentified arsonist wandering around the outskirts of the city… … .]

[The city government plans to officially withdraw the wanted order and announce a notice to stop tracking soon.]

[Criticism is pouring in for withdrawing the wanted order at a time when Deputy Mayor Wainstone is not awake, but it appears that there will be no change in policy… … .]

[Some are criticizing this as a hasty administration to prevent the damage from spreading.]

[Meanwhile, in the outskirts, the number of people following the criminal and committing copycat crimes is rapidly increasing, causing trouble… … .]

Cheek!!

“Wherever I go, I only hear stories like this.”

Area 48. A mercenary who was listening to the news near the entertainment district swore.

“When was the last time I told you to kill me and take my head, and now I’m telling you not to even approach me?”

Other mercenaries who were sharing a drink scolded him.

“That’s proof that the watcher is a very dangerous wizard. “You know.”

“The officially confirmed casualties are in excess of thousands. Considering that all of them are magic users, this is a truly ridiculous figure.”

“Did you hear the news? I heard it’s called Cheonbeon (踐燔). “I step on everyone I come across and burn them.”

“It’s such a bizarre nickname for a watcher who follows the blue eye…” … “What an irony.”

A thousand times Evan Martinez.

Those who know through rumor what kind of secret society the Blue Eyes are can only laugh at this.

This was also evidence that the number of outlaws that a wizard named Evan burned to death in a short period of time was unrealistically large.

“I guess he lost his master and was completely fed up. “How can I be sane if I lose my head?”

“In fact, maybe that’s why I became stronger. “It is well known how great a shackle psychological restrictions are for a magician.”

“How much is it now? It must be military rank or higher, right? Maybe saintly level?”

“well. If there was someone observing the area during the battle, there would be no way that words wouldn’t come out on the floor… … .”

The strength of the supernova that suddenly appeared in the shadows of the Balkans is a hot topic regardless of whether it is sunny or shadowy.

On the deep web, famous superhumans are often compared and compared.

A common topic of discussion for the mercenaries sitting around the bar was the battle between the powerful.

Among them, the area of ​​self-reflection, which reveals the original image of the magician, was a topic that was never left out of discussion.

A symbol of the completed hierarchy that anyone who uses magic, no matter what lineage or talent they are born with, will definitely reach.

Because it shows the original image as is, there are quite a few cases where it is not actually helpful or useful in battle.

Nevertheless, the fact that the area reveals the essence of the practitioner in the most primitive way does not change.

The simple yet difficult power of creating an environment just for the user had the ability to attract even non-users.

“Did you know that the deep web has already paid dividends? “If you’re interested, at least put some money into it.”

“Well, what about whether Cheonbeon is actually an Aspect Wizard or not? Just looking at it, it looks like a bad debt.”

“No, you idiot. Of course, paying dividends is something that happens a thousand times and quickly. “Are you so incapable of understanding what to say?”

“Well, if by some chance Lightning dies, you don’t have to be afraid of that crazy guy anymore.”

One of the mercenaries sitting around the table looked frustrated and tried to drink the drink he was holding, but then tilted his head.

“What, who drank the alcohol here?”

“You were holding it from a while ago, what nonsense are you talking about?”

“Bruno, are you just eating that and getting drunk and messing around? “This was complete nonsense!”

“No, fuck… … “Are you a little tired these days?”

The mercenary named Bruno grumbled, poured another drink, and then brought the glass to his mouth.

“… … .”

Bruno’s expression turned blank as if he had seen a ghost.

“… … doesn’t exist.”

“Why is he like this from now on?”

“Hey, come to your senses!!”

Bruno muttered in a trembling voice.

“The alcohol evaporated before I could drink it… … .”

“… … evaporation?”

The eyes of the other mercenaries all turned to the drinking glass they were holding.

Chi profit… … .

After seeing the contents of the wine glass disappearing at a rapid pace, the mercenaries’ complexions changed dramatically.

The heat was so hot that the alcohol I was holding evaporated. However, their senses do not actually feel that heat at all.

A combustion phenomenon that occurs purely through intention without even using magical power.

By the time they felt this sense of discomfort, they knew from experience that it was already too late.

“Hey, this is…” … !!”

“Raise your horsepower. “Cover your ears and nose!!”

“Hold your breath and hold on. “Just think I’m going to suffocate to death!!”

“Fuck, fuck, fuck… … !!!”

The mercenaries who threw away their glasses fell flat on the spot and covered their ears and noses with their hands.

The moment when I closed my mouth tightly and held my breath, and only my eyes were raised, barely protected by magical power.

Whoop!!

A searing heat blew in from the other side of the entertainment district.

If the magical power had not been raised in advance to protect the facial features, it would not be surprising if the internal organs were cooked.

Even though I am protected by magical power, it feels difficult to even open my eyes.

I feel that if I can’t hold my breath for even a moment here, my lungs will completely explode.

Cheap!!

“… … !!”

Other people who were drinking in various places in the entertainment district seemed to have realized the situation and took a similar stance, giving up any thoughts of running away.

Kneel down and lie down on your stomach to prevent the heat from reaching your internal organs.

At that moment, everyone on the nearby streets was lying face down and could barely raise their heads.

Woe!!

With flames flickering across the street, someone began to slowly approach.

Thin and skinny physique. An expressionless face whose emotions are difficult to read. The shape of a thick coat and a thick exhaust pipe tied to the forearm.

But what stands out most is the six dazzling fire spheres themselves spinning behind the young man’s back.

As if drawing a huge mandala just by its presence, each one spins dizzyingly in different orbits and directions, leaving afterimages.

Coo coo coo coo… … !!!

My eyes are involuntarily taken away by a strange sight I have never seen before.

Everyone on the street forgot about the current situation and stared at the flames circling around the young man.

A magnificent scene where several planets seem to rotate and dance around the sun.

The flames ignited by that man are continuously amplified along six different tracks, radiating and suppressing heat.

Six magical cores created by compressing the flames that had been heated to the limit using imagery as material and compressed with Jindun’s barrier technique.

The ultimate in amplification and divergence, using oneself as the center of a planetary system and turning all the power one has into full power.

There were not even a handful of people here who recognized that this was one of the points of bias pursued by flame magic.

“okay.”

The young man lay face down, covering his nose and mouth, and laughed as he looked at the people who were looking up at him as if they were fascinated.

“Just keep your head down and wait until everything is over.”

“… … !!”

The young man walks quietly, not even paying attention to the reactions of people flinching.

Following the quiet steps where not even the sound of footsteps could be heard, the eight-pronged sun blazed and lit up the path of fire.

“It won’t take long.”

Lennok’s eyes were focused on the huge magic tower rising into the sky in the distance.

A magic tower of fastness that exists in area 49.

The archmage’s domain, which embodies extraterritorial jurisdiction, is now close enough to be visible to the naked eye.

not far.

Being chased by a wanted man in the Balkans, dealing with all kinds of mercenaries and freelancers, and finally fueling the fire without being able to sleep.

We are reaching the edge of the conclusion that people have been so anticipating, anticipating, and fearing.

Good luck!!

It rotates six flame cores simultaneously and extends its hand across the boiling asphalt.

With a vibration that shook the earth, the shape of the clouds distorted and evaporated, and the atmosphere twisted and shriveled.

Damn it!!

At the same time as an eerie noise that sounded like a crack was cracking in the air, a small spark fell into Lennok’s hand.

The moment Lennok, who slowly and very carefully closed the embers, brought his hand to his mouth.

Rumbling… … !!

Far away, beyond the dark clouds on the other side of the city, thunder rumbled and faint lightning flashed.

On behalf of the thousands and tens of thousands of people who will be watching this place from now on, we will fire off a celebration more spectacular than anyone else.

The moment when everyone’s eyes are focused on the thunderbolt in the dark clouds in the distance.

Lennok muttered, swallowing the embers with his mouth.

“shall we start?”
