Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 570
Remnants of Memory (3)
A personal equipment used by Gileon, who was called Dead Rise and was an aide to Kaise.
Why was such an object abandoned with Kaise’s blood soaked in it?
Lennok, who had brought ironclad wings as a magician, carefully checked them and tilted his head.
“There is only one pair. Then the other… … .”
According to the testimony of Guyeok himself, who participated in the operation at the time, the fixed research in the actual past ended without any problems.
If so, it must mean that innocent and other colleagues at the time also did not go through battle.
Therefore, it is unlikely that Gileon’s wings fell here due to battle or other external factors.
[Footcha.]
The fox cub, which jumped down from Lennok’s arms, climbed onto the ironclad wing and sniffed.
Darby, who had been pondering for a long time while wagging her four-pronged tail, raised her head and said,
[It’s hard to tell because of the smell of blood, but the equipment’s internal magic circuit and tuning parts are all broken. It’s completely crushed, so it’ll take some time to even estimate its function.]
Although the shape of the ironclad wings was a bit dusty and worn, it was intact enough for Lennok to immediately recognize its original form.
In the first place, the fact that the appearance of the equipment remains even now, decades later, is due to its unbelievable durability.
Nevertheless, what does it mean that the internal structure of the wing is already completely damaged beyond repair?
It didn’t take long for Lennok to guess the answer.
“…It’s because of the radiation exposure.”
Lennok murmured, thinking while looking at the location where the fixing device originally existed.
“As the experiment ended halfway, a space-time gap occurred, and in the process, magical particles were exposed and swept the power room.”
That’s why rather than the shape of the ironclad wing itself being destroyed, the internal circuits and parts that directly deal with magic power were all exposed and destroyed.
If so, I can understand why Gileon left these wings here and left with so much Kaise’s blood on these wings.
“Did you throw it away knowing that you used up your wings to protect Kaise who was standing in front of the fixture and it couldn’t be repaired….”
[Because the exposure of magical particles to organisms is fatal. In terms of circumstances, it seems to be so.]
In actual history, I wonder if Kaise was also seriously injured as a reaction during the fixed research.
If so, you can guess why Gileon left his seat in such a hurry, leaving his wings behind.
Leaving Darby on top of his head, Lennok continued to think.
“If you knew there was no hope the moment you were swept away by the radiation exposure and gave up your wings, you would have ripped them off right where they protected Kaise. Then, where Kaise was standing….”
Around the location where ironclad wings were first discovered.
Lennok tore out the melted cement and remnants of steel around the area.
Wood Deuk!!
Lennok, frowning amidst the dusty wreckage, gestured and blew them all out of the powerhouse.
The bare floor of the powerhouse, visible through the faint remnants of paint.
Lennok found a trail of blood running down the ironclad wing beneath it and slowly ran his finger across it.
“It’s in much better condition than the bloodstains on ironclad wings that were directly exposed to radiation. That should be enough.
[What are you going to do with it?]
Darby, who was sitting on top of her head and sticking out her front paws, tilted her head.
[As decades have passed, there won’t be much you can do with Kaise’s own bloodstains.]
“That’s right. But what if it was Kaise’s own technique?”
Saying that, Lennok took out Kaise’s pocket watch from inside his coat and pulled the second hand.
Kirik… … !!
The moment he carefully smeared bloodstains on the second hand that stood up vertically from the inside of the pocket watch.
The blood that flew away from Lennok’s fingertips turned into drops of blood that began to fly away from the pocket watch and somewhere.
It is the result of applying the retrograde spell to Kaise’s bloodstains. It is likely that he will head to the place where his traces remain the strongest in this area.
[Ohhhhh?]
Darby jumped from above Lennok’s head with her eyes wide open, chasing after the fluttering drops of blood.
The moment Lennok laughed, got up from his seat and started following with his cane.
click!!
I confirmed that the second hand of the pocket watch, which had been moving slowly, had completely stopped, and my face stiffened slightly.
‘Has the power already run out?’
Considering the ability of the pocket watch, it was expected that it would be difficult to supply the activation conditions or the necessary power.
However, since I couldn’t study the artifact’s structure right away, I just tried to find out the conditions by using it myself.
He hadn’t expected it to stop working after just two uses.
‘The magic that deals with time seems much more difficult and complex than space. Considering the relativity of the concept of time, the cost required to build a formula might be ridiculous.’
Lennok did not forget that the artifact Kaise left behind had the shape of a pocket watch.
The fact that the image of the reverse sky he left behind when he disappeared was embodied in the form of a watch itself is proof that it is an artifact of the method of charging and using power.
I didn’t think the pocket watch’s ability would be expendable, but it’s unfortunate that I won’t be able to use the retrograde ability anymore as I’m chasing Kaise’s trail right now.
Lennok followed Darby’s footsteps, wondering if he should look out for a company that makes watch batteries.
The control room located between the main building of the power plant after climbing up the underground stairs.
A drop of blood that fell in front of a sealed door with a bright yellow amulet wrapped around it, and a cyber spirit running wild in front of it.
Lennok stood in front of the door to the control room, carefully observing the flow of power that flowed around it.
“Magic power…no It is a power that is close to spiritual power.”
[It is maintained by a resonance method using resonance of the same wavelength rather than direct conservation of power.]
Darby said as she climbed into Lennoc’s coat.
The cyber spirit nestled snugly in the inner pocket of the coat tilted its head.
[That’s why it seems that security is still being maintained despite the rapid change in the timeline… … .]
“The problem is that the spiritual waves do not end at the door of the control room, but extend to the space inside the door.”
said Lennok, resting his chin on his chin and thinking.
“If you forcibly destroy the barrier, it would be like destroying all the facilities inside. It’s obvious.”
[Shall I try my best?]
“No, the field is completely different from the cyber system. If you do it wrong, your spirituality may be contaminated.”
Although the system Darby deals with is specialized in the manipulation and flow control of the brainspace, it is definitely a being belonging to the category of spirits.
If Davi gets hit by recklessly going in and out of these spiritual system security techniques, it will be difficult for her to recover easily with her own power.
“At this level of security, it must have been the work of Madric Onion, and it would be difficult to touch it unless you are a commanding magician of that level.”
The problem is that even if you search the whole continent, a military sage like Onion is rare, and his existence is almost non-existent in public.
Even if it wasn’t the ridiculous solution of going to the military command city of Yorta and bringing the military sage, no matter what you choose, time would be dragged on.
‘Since the pocket watch left behind by Kaise has stopped, it’s not possible to borrow the power of the Retrogression Spell once more here… … for a moment.’
It looks like there was one more thing that Kaise left behind besides the pocket watch.
Thinking that far, Lennok rummaged in his arms with a slightly dazed expression, and took out an amulet with an unknown character densely engraved on it.
A talisman that Kayse gave to Claude as a messenger from the past.
The amulet he had told her that it was used to disable the function of the control room was still in Lennok’s arms.
“….”
Come to think of it, I didn’t have time to go through the control room while I rushed into the power plant again to meet Kaise.
Nevertheless, the reason why Kaise gave this amulet to Lennok in the form of a message at the time.
Was it because he thought that Lennok would come to this place after the situation was resolved?
[Master?]
I came to my senses when I saw Darby looking at Lennok with a worried expression in his arms.
“…okay.”
There is a way to find out right now what Kaise has left behind in this power plant after his space-time fixation research failed.
There was no reason to hesitate.
The moment Lennok thought so and stuck the amulet in his hand to the door of the control room.
Ddu-dududuk!!
Clap!!
Dozens of amulets surrounding the door were all cut off, and the barrier disappeared like a lie, and the sound of the lock being unlocked was heard.
Lennok grabbed the doorknob and slowly opened the door to the control room.
Whoop!!
As soon as you open the door, a cool breeze blows in.
The chill from the control room, which had been neglected for decades, made even Lennok, who was protecting himself with various magics, flinch.
It’s probably not simply a matter of temperature, but it’s because the barrier created through the commanding spirit is broken and the spiritual power flows out.
Lennok ignored the chill and looked around quietly.
All the cctvs that should illuminate the power plant facilities are all broken, and the screens and levers on the instrument panel that fill one side of the wall do not work either.
[Nothing?]
“No, I must have left something behind.”
Lennok answered and started searching through the box and shelf where the instrument panel and locker were located.
Cheap elixirs or light firearms left in the shelf. Brooch-shaped artifacts containing faint magical powers.
Other items, such as explosives and rusted music that superhumans would use during battle, fell one after another.
Dududuk!!
“The reason why Kaise gave me the key to break the barrier in the control room is because I thought this situation would come to me.”
It was probably because Kaise himself intended to hide something containing his achievements inside the control room after his research was finished.
He remembered how he had acted before meeting Lennok, and actually guessed how he would behave in the timeline without Lennok.
Through that method, Kaise succeeded in guiding Lennok to this place even after he disappeared.
“Kaise in history knew that research would normally ‘fail’, so I thought of leaving something here after failing.”
I muttered, quickly recalling the items he had given Lennok in my head one by one.
“Kaise, who met me, guessed how he really would have acted and indirectly informed me of that…Right.”
Lennok stood still and took out his cell phone from his arms.
A firewall code used to transmit Kaise’s messages.
The moment when the firewall code consisting of hundreds of character sequences was moved and tapped on the keyboard of the broken instrument panel at high speed.
Clap!!
The inside of the broken screen of the instrument panel opened as it was, revealing something inside.
“….”
It is not a special artifact or treasure or even a powerful weapon.
But it was more valuable than any object or artifact Lennok had ever found in this power plant.
A short diary made by binding several sheets of old paper.
A single record created by Kaise on paper that he wrote down by hand in reality decades ago.
“Kaise’s research journal.”
muttered Lennok, and opened it up without hesitation.
“Here you are.”
Palak!!
[March 15. Right after I started research by hastily gathering my colleagues during the civil war, I realized that this research would fail.] The
first sentence of the research journal started with Kaise’s own shocking confession.
