Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 675
Central Council Senate (3)
Think tank Evan Bylon without Evan.
When Lennok heard that, he had to hide the laughter that leaked out.
“An interesting conclusion. A think tank?”
“They said that after being evaluated by the Technical Advisory Committee and verifying their qualifications, they would be officially put into research work.”
Armand nodded and said.
“Of course, it would be best to contact Evan himself, who was presenting at the expo, but it would be enough if we secured a member of the think tank who was involved in the research.”
“….”
“If you are lucky enough to have a serious interest in the Senate, you might be able to meet today.”
Come to think of it, there was a big fuss about the existence of Evan Bylon in the past.
Didn’t Lennok personally go on an operation to track down the criminals who thought he kidnapped Evan Bylon?
At that time, with the help of Antares, the work was properly settled, but it became clear that Evan’s value was not taken lightly.
Even more so, the news that he had secured a candidate presumed to be Evan Bylon from the mouth of Armand, who assists the Senate, was very interesting to Lennok.
Now, it’s to the point where I want to see the face of the self-proclaimed think tank.
“Don’t expect it. It must be someone who fits my thoughts.”
“I think this is an opportunity to find out the secret about assistant professor Bylon that has not been revealed to the public.”
Did Armand become interested in Evan Bylon in the process of investigating his identity and abilities?
Aside from his talkative nature, Lennox was not surprised that Armand had taken an interest in Evan.
It was enough to make him curious if he knew what Lennok had done as Evan, while Cyolus was hiding it.
‘I tried to hide it, but there are unintentionally prominent parts.’
Originally, even when Lennok entered the university as an assistant professor in the position of Evan, the plan he had in mind was to use Aris’ reputation as a shield and continue his research unnoticed.
However, that plan lost its meaning after Aris used the sabbatical as an excuse to return to the Mage Tower.
Even the time Aris stayed in the Mage Tower became longer than expected, so he still couldn’t fill the void.
That’s why Lennok also changed his mind and announced the research results and changed to raising Evan’s reputation in the sun.
Rather, as Armand pointed out, there was no choice but to have a gap in Evan’s status.
‘The master’s and doctorate integration process should also be taken care of… … .’
Due to the terrorist incident at the mysterious palace, even the dean was caught up in it, causing problems in administrative work, and Lennok also prioritized moving the machine city.
Before taking care of other things, it seemed that he needed to go back to school as Evan and check his progress.
While Lennok was lost in his thoughts, Armand stopped talking and began to notice.
Did Armand also realize that he was talking too much to himself?
But instead, he slightly tilted his head towards Lennok and muttered quietly.
“You seem to be more interested in Professor Bylon than I thought. After all, does a brilliant wizard like Ban recognize the same geniuses?
“….”
“Like Professor Bylon’s case, if you can talk well with the Central Council, you can have a good enough relationship-” “
Aide…!!”
In a way, it seemed as if Lennok should come under the central council.
For those who know the rumors about fastness, it is a word that cannot even be imagined.
Soldiers gasped in all directions, their complexions turned pale, and the pilot secretly fiddled with the emergency exit button.
However, instead of answering Armand’s question, Lennok stared blankly at him up and down.
Lennok wasn’t so insensitive that he couldn’t understand the meaning of Armand’s question.
A trivial skill that I learned while working as an artisan in Makina. Lennok could see through him beyond the invisible.
“The ring marks remain. If you look at the blood-soaked spot, it seems to be removed about once every two days.”
“…yes?”
Lennok’s words are completely irrelevant to the current topic.
Seeing Armand’s blank expression, Lennok tilted his head.
“The tie is stiff, but the shirt is wrinkled. There was someone who took care of it, but it’s been a while since it’s gone.”
“….”
“The calluses on my fingertips are light, but the scars remain. Are you injured in a fight? no. It’s a trace of practicing a stringed instrument pressed by hand. It’s pretty old.”
Seeing Armand’s expression slowly change, Lennok laughed.
“I still miss my bereaved fiancee. Traces of it can be seen everywhere. Do you know what I’m talking about?”
“I’m not sure what you’re talking about… … .”
Lennok’s eyes shone sharply as he looked at his aide.
“You talk about anything like an ignorant idiot, but you are never that kind of guy. Rather, she is sensitive and delicate enough to practice the instrument that her lover loved and even take off the ring she was wearing while working.”
At the calm explanation, the soldiers sitting on the airship nodded blankly with a bewitched expression, and Armand lowered his head.
“I understand that you are risking your life to check my reaction and confirm your intentions toward the city council. Although this is one of the roles of the messenger you came to me for-”
“….”
Lennok sneered at the expressionless crown of his head.
“You’ll have to do it in moderation.”
“…understand.”
Raising his head, Armand’s expression was hardened, unlike before.
“Ban. I am so sorry for being presumptuous.”
The tone of voice that was quite different from the first time was cautious, but sometimes reckless and insensitive remarks.
It wasn’t because they didn’t notice that they talked about the anti-gravity engine and turned the topic around by mentioning Evan.
Rather, it was a calculated act of pretending to be ignorant and asking rude questions to see where Lennok was responding… … .
Does it mean that not only Armand himself but also the lives of the soldiers on the airship are not considered?
Armand’s attitude in trying to confirm Lennok’s temper and interesting reaction was very interesting.
It’s as if he’s assuming an incomprehensible monster rather than a human being, and trying to re-record its behavior patterns.
The first remark that mentioned the unwritten rule that conventions are not followed against special forces.
It is certainly.
The Balkan City Government Central Council knew that Lennok had risen to level 8.
muttered Lennok, looking to the window.
“Right. The Central Council already knew… … .”
The nape of the aide’s neck twitched at those words that he muttered as if dripping.
Armand’s expression couldn’t hide his dismay.
Besides, he also intuitively realized that their purpose and intentions had been read.
But Armand doesn’t say anything anymore and just silently looks out the window.
With a suffocating silence flowing through the cockpit, the airship soon reached its destination.
A gigantic hemispherical building whose ceiling and walls are made entirely of glass.
However, unlike the transparent exterior, the shape inside is not reflected from the outside at all.
Contrary to the exterior where all the walls of the building look like doors and windows, it is a strange appearance that no entrance is visible.
Armand explained to Lennok, who got down in front of a glass cavity that shone dazzlingly reflecting sunlight.
“It is one of the meeting buildings used by the Senate of the Central Council.”
“One of the conference buildings?”
“If it is not a plenary session officially held in the parliament, we change the meeting building and gather.”
Armand answered that and took out a blade from his chest.
“To avoid the risk of terrorism or sniping, several such meeting buildings are set up and the time and place are notified on the same day.”
When I put the blade on my finger and cut it, blood leaked out drop by drop from the fingertip.
Armand rubbed the blood on the walls of the conference hall’s dazzling glass cavity.
Dig!!
At that moment, the entire wall of the glass cavity was stained red with blood and then sank to black.
Armand jotted down a few letters on the blackened wall with quick gestures.
Kugoogu Palace… … !!
Following the gesture, the blackened building twisted greatly and turned into a spacious passage.
Only then did Armand, who stepped back, let out a sigh of relief.
“This is the passage designated today. I’m glad I’m not late on time. Come on in.”
* * *
Leaving the soldiers outside, Lennok and Armand walked down the dark aisle together.
A dark passageway where not a single point of light enters with the naked eye.
It’s hard to believe that just a moment ago, this building was a giant glass form.
Armand didn’t say anything, just walking quietly in front of Lennok as if guiding him.
However, Lennok felt the countless eyes and presences watching this aisle.
“One smoke.”
Without asking permission, Lennok put the tobacco in his mouth and lit it.
Armand hesitated slightly and looked back, but he ignored it and continued walking with a cigarette in his mouth.
Lennok looked up at the rising smoke from the beginning of the year, looking at Armand, who took a quick glance and then moved on again.
The new year that Lennok has been blooming lately is Quadruple Custom No. 58.
It is a product that is manufactured directly using alchemy knowledge and filled with the filler used by compressing it four times.
Among them, it is a new product that has gone through 57 modifications.
Various pain relief and awakening effects that pursue maximum efficiency in a line that is not harmful to the body.
It is a product specialized in enhancing the physical condition and awakening the senses while maintaining a close level without side effects.
As it is made by reflecting Lenok’s own constitution and senses as much as possible, the moment you put one in your mouth, you feel as if all your senses are awakened.
The compressive force is so strong that concentrated mana leaks out even faintly through the tobacco smoke.
“….”
And that means, in other words, that the smoke mixed with Lennok’s magical power starts to hover all over the aisle even if you don’t intend it.
Lennok’s gaze sank deeply as he confirmed that the smoke from the beginning of the year was hovering above his head instead of drifting away somewhere.
‘It’s a way to directly intervene in the spatial arrangement and build a passage. Are there talented people in the Senate of the Central Council who can do similar things… … .’
Lennok’s magic never stays in one place for long unless he specifically intends it to, and it disperses and leaves no trace.
Even so, if the smoke from the beginning of the year stays in one place instead of dispersing and disappearing, it must be because the space where the passage is built bends and forms an isolated zone.
It was proof that this building, which is used as a meeting building by senators, was made by the hands of someone who knows how to handle space.
‘Sophisticated subspace structure of this level. It is also a level where the remaining space is not wasted at all through parallel design. The structure must be as solid as that.’
In order to escape from here, it would be impossible unless Lennok jumped out of the space himself.
Without the flashing spell or Enakpil’s five fingers, it would be possible to get caught in this cavity without fail.
While Lennok was lost in thought, Armand, who had been walking in front of him, stood tall.
“I am here.”
With a controlled movement, he stepped out of the way in front of Lennok, lowered his head slightly, and spread his hands out to the sides.
“Your members will be waiting for you.”
I can’t see the door, but I just have to walk in front of it.
The moment when Lennok, who understood moderately, nodded and was about to walk past Armand.
Armand lowered his head and said.
“Actually, I stopped practicing the instrument a while ago.”
“….”
“You should stop taking out the ring. These days, I am ironing alone again.”
Armand muttered with an unreadable expression on his face.
“again…You should be able to do it alone. Thanks for pointing that out.”
“Right.”
There was no need to add any further sentiments to those words.
The moment I passed by Armand and took one more step out of the dark cavity.
Hwaaaak!!
The surrounding darkness peeled away as if it had been washed away, and a pure white and transparent cavity spread out before my eyes.
The dazzling sunlight beating down on your head.
The light reflected off the glass walls on all sides and gathered all at once towards the spot where Lenok was standing.
The figures of huge thrones towering high around the place where Lenok was standing.
At the ends of the thrones, invisible faces sat reclining, silently looking down at Lennok.
“….”
Lennok was silent, frowning, looking around at the great thrones that had risen around him.
Not all seats are full. Rather, if you count the numbers, there are more empty seats.
At most, about 10 lawmakers showed up in this vast hollow, leading their nogu.
However, someone was already sitting on the highest chair, the chair that governs the entire Senate.
An old man with black black hair.
Even though he looks old on the outside, his hair and eyes are vivid black.
“Sit down.”
When the old man in black opened his mouth, a profound low-pitched voice resounded in the cavity.
“There is not much time. Since you are present, let’s start right away. but….”
The chairman’s heavy black eyes pierced Lennok’s face.
“Smoking in the conference hall is officially prohibited.”
“….”
“It may seem trivial, but there are innumerable rules and laws that you must abide by. Those are laws that apply throughout the city beyond this conference building.”
The chairman’s natural way of speaking by the name of his class, as if he were acquainted with them.
There is not even a hint of agitation or shaking in that solid voice and tone.
“But there is only one way for you to have immunity to all the rules and restrictions of the city.”
the chairman asked in a dull voice.
“Have you ever thought of building a mage tower?”
