The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 911

Hearing (7)

On the way out of the venue after the hearing.

Antares pushing a wheelchair and Lennoc going around the venue with his help.

The crowd gathered near the venue broke up with just a glance from Lennok.

I tried my best to pretend not to see him, accidentally turned my head and walked away, trying to keep even a little bit of the wizard in my eyes.

Unlike when he first entered the hearing room, no one wanted to make eye contact with Lennok anymore.

“… … .”

An awkward and uncomfortable silence that felt deafening.

A clumsy turning away that comes from being completely overwhelmed by just one person.

Who can believe that all those actions were carried out without any violence or coercion?

Jerk, jerk.

A procession of city council members and judges, who left the venue later than Lennok, continues.

Although they were clearly aware of Lennok’s presence still remaining near the venue, they did not bother to confront him.

Avenia Stenson, the wizard of the Valefor Tower, who was guiding Lennok through the crowd, stopped.

“Mr. Ban. “That’s it for me.”

“Right.”

Lennok chuckled, resting his chin on the wheelchair.

What was the reason why Avenia, who had only just begun staying in the Balkans, was serving as Lennok’s guide?

Among those who feared unnecessary conflict during the guidance process, perhaps it was because she was the only one willing to do this.

Even if that wasn’t the case, I didn’t think I’d forget the name of Valeport Matap, where extreme combatants gather.

“Remember the name. Good job.”

“… … “I am just grateful.”

Avenia, who stopped and lowered her head, hesitated and spoke.

“Is it okay if I visit the Magic Tower when I have time in the future? “I will make sure not to disturb you.”

“Antares guarantees the excellence of the Valefor Tower.”

Lennok nodded.

“At Martop, we are always looking for excellent partner businesses. “I’ll tell the officials.”

“There are times when mercenaries are helpful.”

Avenia laughed.

“I’m glad he didn’t forget my warning. Well then… … .”

Avenia greets Lennok as neatly as she did when she first visited him and then leaves.

Lennok, who was watching the wizard walking away, said to Antares.

“I thought they would intervene at least once, but they just watched quietly.”

“You mean Stenson?”

“It’s your story.”

“… … .”

Lennok asked leisurely as Antares remained silent.

“So, how did you feel watching the hearing today?”

“Um, can I be honest?”

Antares laughed.

“Watching you play with city council members during the hearing… … It was so fun that I wondered if it was okay to do this. “It felt like I was feeling it for the first time in years.”

“… … .”

“Anyone who knows you would understand that there is not a single lie in what you say. I can’t understand how they can get so far out of line. “I actually respected him.”

Wow, how ironic this situation would have felt if you were watching the hearing from someone else’s perspective.

It was not entirely impossible to understand Antares’ feelings, so while Lennok was smiling bitterly, he closed his eyes with a satisfied expression and muttered.

“You’re not wrong after all. “I think I won’t regret following you for just one day.”

“It’s really difficult to say it back.”

Lennok said, leaning back comfortably in his wheelchair.

He smiles as he looks at the attendants walking out of the hearing hall one by one with a listless look.

“No, is it just that you can’t tell me directly because you came back from seeing the future?”

“… … .”

“It doesn’t matter. “Because I understand why I’m here.”

Antares said he was there to observe the hearing, but Lennok knew that the visionary was not one to spend his time entertaining himself.

Because of his wishes at the time he accepted to accompany Lennoch to the hearing.

Crucially, it was Antares’ will, not Lennok’s, that allowed Lennok to spend time without leaving the hearing room.

Shake!

At that moment, the back door of the venue opened and several boys walked out from beyond the door.

Young boys dressed in old-fashioned robes.

They appeared to be no older than ten years old at most, and they were the ones carrying the stone tablet for Lennok to swear in the Judgment Code.

“… … !!”

As the boys walk out, talking quietly among themselves, they are startled to see Lennok beyond the back door.

They probably also know what Lennok told people at the hearing.

I don’t make an effort to show it, but I can’t pretend I didn’t see it, so I pass by with a light silent bow.

Just as the cowering boys hesitantly passed by Lennok and were about to leave.

Lennok opened his mouth to the blonde boy standing at the back of the line.

“It seems like I’ve been waiting for quite a long time. Are you planning on leaving without saying goodbye?”

“yes yes?”

The boy with a young face stopped in place and looked back at Lennok with a puzzled expression.

His shoulders were shaking with a fearful expression, and he couldn’t even think of hiding the goosebumps that appeared on the back of his neck.

The age difference between the boy and Lennok appears to be more than ten years.

Considering the two people’s positions, it would seem strange for a conversation to even take place.

But even though Lennok knew that, he lightly waved his hand at the boy who was frozen in place.

“Avenia Stenson warned Antares not to use his foresight as he pleases.”

“Uh, over there… … What I mean is, well… … !!”

Whoop!!

Lennok whispered, bringing the young boy in front of him with a single wave of his hand.

“Antares, who was constantly watching the entire hearing room, never once glanced at you.”

“… … .”

The warning that Conrad Heyburn delivered was not a lie.

Big city Balkan. A city-state that currently boasts the largest scale and capital on this continent.

The authority holder, who stands at the top of a super-wide living area encompassing dozens of areas, was hiding in the hearing room and watching Lennok in a way that others did not expect at all.

“A position where one can directly carry the refereeing regulations and intervene. A young age that is unlikely to be noticed by others. “A being with such strong causality that Antares had to voluntarily avoid foresight.”

Lennok asked mockingly.

“Mayor of the Balkans. “Aren’t you disguising your age as too young to be in charge of leading a huge city?”

“… … Haha.”

At that moment, the boy’s expression, who had always been frightened, completely changed.

As if a completely different emotion was sprouting from deep inside. Just like another personality cracks an egg and jumps out.

As the expression that had been shrinking from fear and anxiety relaxes, an inexplicable joy oozes out of it.

“ah… … Right.”

The boy muttered softly.

The boy, who was staring at Lennok, smiled faintly.

Immediately after a foreign and awkward smile that seemed not to belong to a human being turned to Lennok, the boy slowly nodded.

“You were the one Kaise was referring to.”

“… … Kaysera.”

A boy who mentions that name so calmly that it puts to shame his previous flirtatiousness.

An inorganic tone of voice that doesn’t feel human, but on the contrary, a piece of very clear emotion.

As expected, the leader of this megacity is not a being bound by ordinary cause and effect or fate.

Lennok, realizing this fact, looked into the boy’s eyes and asked.

“The person you are talking about, what time period is Kaise?”

“Oh my, you already know that much?”

The boy laughed.

A complex reaction mixed with self-deprecation and cynicism that is not appropriate for a young person.

Would it be like this if an old monster disguised as a boy showed his emotions without hesitation?

“I’m sorry, but I can’t answer that question. The prohibition of the project is an equal bondage for everyone. “It is an oath that amounts to the art of reversing cause and effect.”

“… … .”

“If you don’t mind, could you please let this child go at this point? It’s time to sing hymns in the cathedral. “If you are late, you will be scolded by Sister Mary.”

“A hymn… … .”

Lennok chuckled at the boy’s calm answer.

That was because it seemed to show what the boy was thinking about this situation.

However, the reason Lennox forced himself to face the mayor at this point was not to get an answer like this.

“I’m not asking because I’m curious why the Balkan market is still hiding instead of coming to the forefront.”

“… … .”

“I guess it’s because your answer is in some way tied to the root cause of your attendance at this hearing. So tell me.”

Lennok’s eyes shone coldly.

“What did you hear from Kaise?”

“Uhm, this is why I didn’t want to meet you right now… … .”

The boy shook his head with a troubled look.

“great. You shouldn’t mess with a monster who plays with the refereeing rules. Instead, all I can say is how to obtain knowledge.”

“I know how to circumvent the ban.”

“The answer lies in District 19, where Vice Mayor Wainston visited.”

The boy spoke slowly.

“If your kite can reach beyond, you can understand the truth.”

Does this mean that the secret about Kaise is hidden beyond the [door] that exists in District 19?

Just as Lennok was pondering that fact, the boy shook off his collar and stood up casually.

“Actually, I originally had no intention of meeting you like this… … After all, a prophet is a troublesome being. The same goes for Baritz’s blood relatives, and there is no other reason for the ability to be ostracized over a long history.”

“… … .”

“I feel like I want to get rid of it right away, but I don’t think there is any need to show mercy to a prophet whose outcome is already set.”

The boy smiled and turned around with those words.

“If I get a chance, I’ll see you again. Archmage. And Antares, you too.”

With those words, the boy walked away without using any of his supernatural powers.

He adjusted the strap of his bag and innocently waved his hand to the group waiting for him from afar.

However, neither Lennok nor Antares bothered to stop or catch the boy.

“Antares.”

Lennok spoke softly as he looked at the back of the boy walking away.

“I’m telling you because I don’t think I’ll have the chance if it’s not now.”

“… … .”

“I heard the story from Felix. “If you meet the lighthouse keeper and observe the future, your ending will be-”

“half. “Don’t worry about that part.”

Antares answered with a smile.

“The only thing that can be seen with the supernormal ability of sight seeing is the future that has not yet arrived. “There is no ability to change the future that has been observed and whose outcome has been confirmed.”

“… … “Have you already checked?”

“Directly to Cheongyeon himself while he was alive.”

Antares answered softly.

“She didn’t like prophets, but she wanted to know if they could change the fate of humans.”

“… … .”

“It was a good experiment. Regardless of the results.”

Antares’ answer was gentle, but not entirely positive.

“But if Felix wants, I plan to visit Lapis Falseer.”

“Even if you know it’s no use?”

“Still, if I can ease Felix’s regret a little.”

Antares laughed.

“He is still keeping the promise he made on the pilgrimage.”

“… … .”

“Then I guess I’ll have to do my best.”

* * *

The Grand Wizard’s hearing that caused an uproar throughout the Balkans.

It’s been two days since the hearing in which the city’s most terrifying wizard personally announced his appearance.

[Here is a wizard who says he kills people with great difficulty.]

[Does this man truly believe that he has committed a deliberate act of destruction?]

However, all media outlets in the Balkans were busy mulling over, highlighting and talking about what Lennok said for several days.

[The words of the archmage who rules Area 49, Fast Ban, at the hearing are becoming a hot topic… … ]

[In network and SNS trend rankings, the phrase has been at the top of the charts for several days… … ]

[Criticism from all walks of life for the outrageous remarks made by a wizard who killed over hundreds of superhumans]

[Even though the full transcript of the hearing was not made public, the viewership ratings for the broadcast exceeded a record number]

“… … “This is truly amazing.”

The magic tower of fastness.

Felix, who was sitting in the hallway inside the tower reading a newspaper, sighed in bewilderment.

Felix said as he glanced at Lennok, who was squatting in front of the inner wall hallway of the upper floor.

“How different is the Archmage from being able to cover all the media in the Balkans with just one word?”

“… … .”

Without any response, Lennok was absorbed in fixing the magical circuit inside the hallway.

Felix, who was tapping the newspaper with his arms crossed, asked.

“I’m just saying this just in case, but you probably didn’t do it on purpose, right?”

“… … No way.”

Lennok shook his hands and stood up.

In the hallway magic circuit that emits blue light, pure white magic, different from before, is flowing mixed together.

Lennok said, straightening his back and frowning.

“If you ask me, it was my mistake.”

“mistake? “Did you know you could even make a mistake?”

“… … “I don’t know what you think of me.”

Lennok said with a wry smile.

“I just sympathized with what I heard someone say and thought it was an appropriate answer.”

“Is that an appropriate answer?”

“Yeah, I thought so at the time… … .”

Lennok, who was thinking while stroking his chin, nodded slowly.

“When I think about it, I think I didn’t think any different from other people back then. “I didn’t take that into account.”

“… … .”

Felix, who was looking down at Lennok with an indescribable emotion, let out a sigh as the bird’s head hung low.

“I heard from Jenny earlier that you are being called all kinds of ridiculous nicknames on the deep web.”

“… … .”

“An immortal archmage, a magic tower lord who despises life, a human-loving dog, and all kinds of other strange names… … .”

“Do you really need to explain that to me?”

He turned his back on Felix, who didn’t know if he wanted to criticize Lennok or make fun of his new nickname.

“Anyway, it’s almost finished, so just wait a moment. “All you have to do is add mass magic to the magic circuit.”

I didn’t call Felix and make him wait for a long time for no reason.

However, as I focused on renovating the Magic Tower’s facilities and giving new abilities whenever I had time, the schedule did not fit.

Among them, what Lennok was doing now was the task of granting the tower’s mass magic, which had been postponed for quite some time.

Ascendant of the Old World, war agent Hermes Orochnier.

His power, which used mass magic to wage war alone, is so high-level that even Lennok cannot easily handle it.

A transcendental technique so outstanding that it not only qualified for ascension, but also sent its own answer to the next world.

Only now was it possible to assimilate such a complex, complicated, and fuel-efficient mass technique into the tower’s system.

This is possible because Lennok’s maximum horsepower increases and the extremely poor fuel efficiency of mass magic can be tolerated.

Absorbing the magic power of the open sea and increasing the magic power was a coincidence that occurred while helping Lapis.

As a result, the significant increase in horsepower itself was a huge benefit to Lennok.

If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to imagine revamping all the systems of the Magic Tower as they are now.

Lennok, who wiped the soot from his face with his shirt sleeve, said while shaking the magic control device he was holding.

“All that remains is to reconnect all of the tower’s horsepower circuits to the engine section. “The fairy tale itself will take less than 5 minutes, so follow me.”

“… … “I always think about you, but you really are a person who knows something but doesn’t know it.”

Felix shook his head in astonishment, but calmly walked along with Lennok.

“Others will not believe it when they see that the Archmage, who has turned the Vulcan upside down several times, is concentrating on repairing the tower like this for several days.”

“is it? “I think this work itself is fun in its own way.”

Lennok chuckled.

“It’s rare to find work where there is clear improvement and where the high point of the result varies depending on my judgment. “It may seem boring, but there is something about it that stimulates a sense of accomplishment.”

“That’s another interesting answer. “Do wizards like you still have feelings like the desire for achievement?”

“yes.”

Lennok said as he headed toward the underground cavity where the tower’s engine was located.

“A long time ago, I couldn’t even figure out what kind of effort I would have to make to become stronger.”

“… … .”

“Now that I look back, I do miss the times when I didn’t choose anything, but… … finished.”

click!!

Reconnect the magic circuit to the magic tower engine section, which directly supplies the magic power of the Phoenix Hall, and re-ignite.

Amidst the intense magic power shining with red and blue light, pure white intentions mix and slowly begin to glow.

The engine unit actually started operating again for the first time after building a lightning connector system that allows free movement throughout the tower’s area.

As the light slowly turned on, the outer and inner walls of the tower began to vibrate and shake at the same time.

Coo coo coo coo!!!

From the other side of the underground cavity of the tower, which shook violently and then regained stability in an instant, a large white baby dragon came running out.

[Aww… … !!]

Perhaps frightened by the sight of the tower shaking back and forth, a huge baby dragon spreads its limbs and jumps towards Lennok.

“It is a work of giving virtual mass around the tower’s area and adjusting it so that it exists independently without being tied to the ground.”

Lennok said as he took the Guardian Spirit Beast’s chubby body and lightened it with magic.

“In the future, the goal is to ensure that the entire Magic Tower is not bound by the physical laws of the earth.”

“If it were the laws of physics on earth… … ?”

“I think you already guessed it.”

Lennok laughed.

“I aim to make this magic tower into a floating fortress in the sky, not on the ground.”

“… … .”

An absolutely absurd idea.

However, Felix was unable to add any comment as the person who said that was the wizard who created the tower himself.

“The reason I called you today is not for any other reason, but because I want to ask you one thing.”

Lennok wiped the sweat from his forehead and raised his hand as he sat down between the huge engine supports.

“If you don’t check before handling deep web work, you may not have time for a while.”

“… … “It’s a deep web thing?”

Lennok asked, ignoring Felix’s question and taking out a tobacco candle.

“The work of Antares. “You know, right?”

“… … .”

“He said he wouldn’t be able to change his ending even if he borrowed Lapis’ supernormal abilities.”

Lennok said with an expressionless face.

“However, in order to keep the promise of the pilgrimage, he told me that he would visit Lapis someday.”

“… … .”

“What is a pilgrimage route? Why do you guys call your trip around the continent that name?”

Lennok asked, looking at Felix who closed his eyes without saying a word.

“If Croken Asilus is with you on the journey, and you and Antares are still on the path, I think you should hear what it is.”

“that… … .”

Felix, who hesitated, said.

“That was our dream.”

“dream?”

“There is a secret story passed down among countless mercenaries and warriors.”

Felix smiled bitterly.

“A warrior who travels the continent and completes his own pilgrimage can attain a fate worthy of his end… … .”

“… … .”

“It doesn’t have any special rules or forms. I only heard that it meant the journey itself. but-”

Felix, who was looking up at the sky in silence, said.

“It is clear that it is called that, a forgotten ancient ritual of ascension to challenge one’s ascension as a warrior.”
