The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 922

conference(5)

Although it was late in the evening and close to midnight, the tower was still crowded with people.

Although it seems less lively than during the day, the amount of transactions coming and going is higher.

Dangerous transactions that cannot be disclosed to the public take place secretly throughout the tower.

Unlike during the day, the mercenaries guarding the tower just pretend not to notice.

“If we set a time to tolerate black trading, we can attract merchants who do not want to go through the magic tower.”

Jenny, who was standing next to Lennok, said.

“If you want to do business under your protection in the tower’s sphere of influence, there is no reason to hesitate. As a result, the market grows.”

Jenny shrugged, “I can’t even allow transactions related to human trafficking.”

“So, are we leaving now? “I thought there was still some time left.”

“I had no intention of being on time from the beginning.”

Lennok, who was looking down at the tower from his office window, answered.

“According to what the necromancer said, we need to confirm what will happen before the meeting.”

“then-”

“I’m just waiting.”

“… … .”

Lennok closed his eyes.

“Because they will know there too.”

Yeah, if he’s still in this city, there’s no way he wouldn’t know.

Maybe because I know that, I ended my incarnation in this city.

Night comes, and if there’s anything I have to say before everything starts, now is the only time.

The moment Lennok thought that way and touched his cane.

Dylan knocked on the office door.

“Ban, a customer came to visit.”

“… … this time?”

Jenny frowned, but opened the door and immediately closed her mouth.

A platinum-blonde woman whose age is unknown.

This is because the wizard, whose shoulders were covered with an old-fashioned robe, was standing in front of the office with a calm expression.

“Clarice Richellen… … .”

“Fast. “Can we talk for a moment?”

Even though Lennok did not answer, Clarice spoke calmly.

“Before the meeting begins, there is something I would like to say.”

“… … come in.”

Jenny and Dylan naturally leave the room, leaving only the two of them in the spacious office.

Clarisse, who sat across from Lennok, said with a smile.

“It’s been a while since I saw you.”

“When were you in the Balkans?”

“Right before I start my thousand fight with you? “I just barely made it on time.”

“… … .”

Was Clarice also one of the high-ranking wizards called by the city council to ask for advice on the fight at the time?

Since then, I had heard that several wizards were staying in Balkan, but I had no idea that she was still there.

“It is rare to have the opportunity to witness a decisive battle in which blessed wizards give their all. “It’s been a long time since even I saw a martial arts battle reach that level.”

Clarisse naturally added.

“Did you know that attempts to learn martial arts are increasing among other wizards? There are rumors that related studios are doing very well in the Balkans… … .”

Lennok was lost in thought as Clarice explained the rumors and circumstances circulating among the wizards of the Magic Tower.

I can guess why Clarisse came here.

However, at the time she came, there was a possibility that the being Lennok was waiting for would not show up-

At that moment, Clarice slightly tilted her head and asked.

“Maybe you were waiting for someone else instead of me?”

“… … .”

“Oh, I didn’t read your mind. “Beings like me are sensitive to those kinds of emotions.”

Clarisse said quietly.

“Waiting for something is something we are all too familiar with.”

“… … Okay, let’s start with the main point.”

Lennok asked, pressing his temples with a tired look.

“Are you here because of Oliveira’s business?”

“yes. “You may have guessed it.”

Clarisse adjusted her clothes and bowed her head slightly.

“I asked her for advice on a Kundara matter I asked you to do earlier, and she seemed to notice even though I didn’t mention your name.”

“… … .”

“It wasn’t my intention, but I felt like I was making things worse for no reason.”

“You were acquainted with Oliveira Ron Mays.”

“She was a genius who wandered around all kinds of magic towers a long time ago. “I don’t know about you, but she’s very famous around here.”

Clarice agreed.

“Not satisfied with his own magic, he wandered in search of a twisted utopia… … “There are many people who dislike her because of her pride and arrogance, but I like her.”

“Is that because they are a longevity species and not a human?”

“Well, rather… … “I guess it’s because he has something I don’t have.”

Clarisse grinned.

“That’s why I tried to take her as my disciple when her talent was just blossoming. “Because she refused, she ended up doing nothing.”

“… … .”

Does that mean that the arrogant witch could have been Aris’s classmate?

“Anyway, you don’t have to do whatever she asks.”

Clarice belatedly returned to the main topic and explained.

“He’s a capable person, but he’s also very picky. “He will definitely demand compensation for borrowing his abilities.”

“Know.”

“There is a way to twist the orbital period even without her help, so I’m here to give you a clear answer on that.”

A subtle smile appeared on Clarisse’s lips as she looked at Lennok’s expressionless face.

“I don’t want to do anything bad to someone who Aris cares about.”

“… … .”

“I feel sorry for Oliveira, but I am someone who cares more about my students.”

Well, will things turn out as easily as Clarice said?

She said there was another way, but the fact that she asked Oliveira for advice was proof that things weren’t easy.

This is probably because in order to match Kundara’s orbital period, a causal adjustment ability at least equivalent to that of the Seven Treasures’ Magic Eyes is needed.

In any case, I understood that entering the outer world city was such a difficult task.

After Lennok came to that conclusion, he stood up from his chair.

Slam!

I use my cane and check the feel of the firearm hanging inside the coat.

He took out a new piece of tobacco from his arms, lit it, and walked away, exhaling a long puff of smoke.

Clarisse also seemed to have heard about what was happening in this city right now, and nodded without being surprised.

“It’s already time. If I don’t want to disturb the meeting, I’ll just… … .”

“There’s one last thing I’d like to ask you.”

After interrupting Clarisse, Lennok glanced back at her in front of the office door.

“The name Anathema. “Do you know?”

“Anathema… … .”

In an instant, Clarisse’s face was colored with faint surprise, then changed into a calm smile.

“What a nostalgic name.”

“… … .”

“They were pitiful traitors and poor outcasts.”

Clarisse said, slightly closing her eyes.

“The thoughts shed by those with that name are much closer to those of the longevity species than to humans.”

“… … .”

“Please avoid confronting images head-on.”

From Lennok’s words, did I guess why he asked about that name and what he was trying to do?

Lennok, who was about to ask about it, realized that he would not be able to get any more answers from Clarice, who was silent, and turned away.

Oliveira said that there were things Clarisse couldn’t say because of the law of longevity.

Probably also about Anathema,

Slam!!

Jenny and Dylan waiting outside the office door.

After giving a light greeting, he raises his magic power immediately with his staff.

Whoop!!

At the same time as I hallucinated as if my entire vision was turning upside down, Lennok’s body landed on the rooftop of the Magic Tower.

As I concentrate my mind, the tower’s power source and Lennok’s fundamental magic respond at the same time.

The tower containing lightning-type properties resonates with the magic of the user, instantly expanding the range and increasing the distance.

Dismissal, dismissal… … !!

In Lennok’s mind as he lightly closed his eyes, the perceived distance increased like crazy.

The sensation that instantly extends beyond Area 49 transcends the kilometer unit and reaches the other side of the undeveloped area.

The moment Lennok immediately thought of the direction of his senses as he confirmed that he was near the satellite city of Etanok, which had been chosen as the agreed upon location for the meeting.

Rumbling!!!

Lennok’s figure disappeared on the spot along with the intense lightning that struck the rooftop of the Magic Tower.

* * *

Satellite city of Etanok.

Although it is an unfamiliar name among the many satellite cities located on the outskirts of the Balkans, Lenok was not the first to experience something like this.

This is because Pandemonium’s mid-term settlement, a gathering of its members, was held in the satellite city of Bayrutz.

Just like Bayrutz, Etanok is also probably a ruined city abandoned with investment halted during the expansion development plan.

Lennok thought the same way and tried to find a way to the satellite city, but-

Snap!!

“There was an environment like this in an undeveloped area.”

Unlike other deserts in undeveloped areas that are rough and acrid, the sand is soft and finely ground, pure white.

The transparent crystals seen sparsely between them shined beautifully, reflecting the moonlight of the night sky.

But what catches Lennok’s attention more than anything is-

Less!!

“… … .”

Lennok, who was looking at the skull fragments rolling under his feet, fell silent.

The remains immediately change the atmosphere of this white sand desert, which is quite beautiful at first glance.

That’s not just one, there are a lot of remains buried here and there in this vast desert.

A city full of traces of dead humans, in complete contrast to Bayrutz’s memories.

This was the reason why the necromancer voluntarily went around announcing the meeting place.

Perhaps, the raw material for this pure white sand is not bedrock, but human… … .

Crumbling… … .

At that moment, an intense killing intent towards Lennok was felt from across the desert.

Bright yellow eyes. A one-eyed wolf with shriveled fur all over its body. He approaches me, drooling, as if he had just discovered Lennok while rummaging through a pile of skulls.

Is it a beast wandering around here?

The moment Lennok thought that way and took out his revolver for the first time in a long time.

A foot the size of a house came down from the top of the one-eyed wolf’s head, trampling the beast and exploding it.

Kwaaaang!!

Due to the impact, the nearby white sand was completely overturned, vaguely revealing skulls and remains piled up at the bottom of the sand.

Despite the sandstorm that rose like a wave and poured in, Lennok, not even a speck of dust, raised his head.

[Woooo!!]

A rhino the size of a house, wearing thick iron armor all over its body.

It’s as huge as a building, so it’s hard to believe that such a beast is standing proudly in the middle of the desert.

What’s unique about it is that the horns on top of its head are as big as its body.

Originally, an animal had two horns on its body, one on its head.

The two-headed rhinoceros looked at Lennok and roared fiercely.

[Ooooo!!]

With just a roar, a storm rages everywhere, releasing a shock wave mixed with intent.

A monster that projects tangible and intangible power by mixing magic and intent with just instinctive movements.

That was the moment I realized that this two-headed monster was not an ordinary beast, but a magical beast.

Someone’s voice was heard from the top of the giant demon beast’s head.

“Wow, I was wondering who on earth would be lost in a desert like this… … .”

The appearance of a baby with a body so large that it feels strange.

The baby, who had a young body and an old man’s voice, was looking down at Lennok.

“You were the proud tower owner of our Balkans.”

“… … .”

Instead of responding to those words, Lennok looked at the magical beast on which the baby was riding.

His eyes were bloodshot and he was snoring harshly.

Although it trembles as if it will rush towards Lennok at any moment, it stands still as if it is bound by invisible bonds.

The art of forcing a magical beast into an excited state and causing it to run wild, while keeping its movements perfectly under control.

Lennok’s eyes narrowed as he realized that the magic power that formed the source of the spell was of a very familiar strain.

“Are you a warlock?”

“That’s the way it is now. however… … .”

The warlock obediently agreed, checked Lennok standing alone in the desert, and smiled strangely.

“It seems like the archmage who wields the fastest and most powerful lightning in this city hasn’t even been able to provide the means to move his body.”

“… … .”

“It doesn’t matter to me, but if things continue like this, won’t it take too long to get to the satellite city?”

Without waiting for Lennok’s answer, the warlock burst into laughter and said.

“Well, it’s all up to your own abilities. “It is not a flaw that a magician’s talents and talents are focused on only one field.”

“… … .”

“Then, I guess I’ll go first.”

thud!!

Without even stopping, I glance at Lennok and walk ahead.

Even under the dim moonlight, it makes no effort to hide its appearance, coloring the white sand desert and advancing towards the satellite city.

“… … .”

Lennok, who was left behind and was staring at the back of the demon beast, was lost in thought.

[Master, are you going to just let that arrogant organism go?]

Dabi stuck his head out from inside his arms, looking a little upset.

[You are sarcastically saying that the Master is an ignorant organism that is only good at fighting!]

“You’re not provoking me right now, are you?”

[boo bboob]

Lennok, stretching Dabi’s mouth, shook his head.

“There is no need to clash before the meeting. “It’s a waste of time.”

[but… … .]

Even though the other person said so, he probably has no intention of making a decision with Lennok here.

It is an unsophisticated battle of pride before a meeting.

Lennok was like that too, so he didn’t have any intention of wasting time fighting the warlock right now, but-

Lennok smiled and nodded, stroking Dabi’s head.

“But there is no need to endure such low-level provocation.”

[As expected, right?]

Lenok, holding Dabi, who had turned red, stuck his staff into the ground and started making hand signs.

Each time the chant was completed, a dazzling line of lightning was drawn centered around the staff stuck in the ground.

Pajijijijik, pajijijijik!!!!

The afterimage of a violent thunderbolt overflowing from a drinking circle that was completed in an instant.

After reaching the peak of one attribute magic power, there is no need to adhere to the category of the system.

The intention to exceed the limit goes beyond the designated category of techniques and affects other systems as well.

What Lennok wants to do from now on is also a concept that refers to the means that can be obtained in that sense.

I brought the overflowing magic power towards the staff where the lightning was striking.

“Summoning art.”

Patsutsutsutsu!!!

Lightning struck and pulsated violently, as if tearing apart space, and soared into the night sky.

* * *

Gooooo!!

Above the head of the jewel-covered beast, a warlock in the form of a giant baby watches the satellite city.

Crackling!!

[Tillian. It’s time.]

At the same time as the subtle noise, a low voice rang in my ears.

[Hurry up because we need to close the siege barrier and complete the Eight Trigrams.]

“Akto.”

A soft answer flowed from the mouth of the baby called Tillian.

“I met a quicksand on the way.”

The man called Akto stopped talking for a moment.

[…] … so?]

“I was walking in the desert alone.”

A mocking smile appeared on the baby’s lips.

“I guess I’ve never heard about the Eight Trigrams. “There is no need to be as vigilant as Cheonnoe said-”

Flash!!

At that moment, an intense thunderstorm struck under the dark desert night sky.

A brilliance so strong that even the demonic beast that was snorting and scolding raised its gaze in surprise.

Immediately after that, a huge pillar of lightning struck from under the sky and began to split in two.

It’s a joke!!!

“… … .”

The flashing lightning pillar split apart and eventually took the shape of wings.

A grouse several times larger than the beast Tillian was riding appeared from across the night sky.

Patsu tsk tsk!!

The shape of a strange bird whose entire body sparkles with intense lightning and thunderbolts.

Electricity jumps between the two wide-open wings instead of feathers, and it makes a strange cry.

The moment I realized that there was someone on the grouse’s back, holding a cane.

Lennok and the warlock’s eyes met once again.

“… … .”

A composition in which a warlock riding on the back of a magic beast looks up at the figure of a ptarmigan flying in the sky.

The warlock narrowed his eyes as he realized the eye level was opposite to before and his blatant intention.

[Woooo!!]

The demon beast is furious and rolls on the ground, but the ptarmigan only flies and explodes with lightning as if mocking the demon beast.

Lennok, with his back to the flashing lightning, looked down at the warlock and smiled.

“I hope you arrive on time too.”

The grouse soared above the head of the roaring beast, quickly reaching the skies above the satellite city of Etanok.
