Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 679
The oldest lineage (1)
The basement is so deep that it is impossible to guess how far it has descended.
A dark corridor reached only after passing through hundreds of layers of security and barriers using the power of a senator in a cramped elevator.
Senator Raysen Azamaha.
A prison where a criminal who was arrested after stealing the central council’s slush funds and a being who was deviant from being encroached on by foreign powers were imprisoned.
Only the unknown tree trunks that filled the hallway before my eyes were proving that all the circumstances Mayer said were true.
“….”
A skinny, twisted tree trunk.
A strange existence that burrows between corridors and greedily eats even dim light sources.
A gesture to burrow into the alloy of the wall, where no nourishment exists, and squirm faintly, trying to suck in even the tiniest bit of something.
Lennok’s eyes narrowed as he silently looked in the direction the tree trunk had branched out.
“According to the instructions we received in advance, Reisen will be waiting at the end of the hallway.”
said Mayer, gently kneading the nape of her neck.
“Looking at the reports so far, the time for conversation and the time for intelligence to return are different. That’s why they say it’s difficult to communicate unless those two time zones overlap.”
“….”
“Since there is no way that the chairman is unaware of this fact, I think he ended the meeting with the assumption of a time zone to send you here…He is a very thorough person.”
be a thorough person
Those words were very close to Mayer’s personal feelings, but Lennok agreed to a certain extent.
The huge tree trunk that surrounds this hallway and the investments made to preserve it now in this cellar.
And even the attitude of not saying a word until Lennok was ready even though he was being briefed on the whole thing.
There was no doubt that the Chairman had intended to some degree this moment of sending Lennok down with Mayer.
“Whoa, it’s hot….”
Mayer shook his head helplessly, sweating.
“It’s underground, so I feel like the ventilation isn’t good… … It’s a place where you lose your energy in many ways.”
Lennok looked at Mayer and asked.
“You look tired even without it.”
“I have so many things to deal with these days.”
Mayer, who wiped away the cold sweat, answered.
“I thought I would be more free after entering the Senate, but it’s the complete opposite. I’m on the verge of dying from overwork without even seeing the mayor’s face… … .”
John Mayer is busy even in his old age with the goal of becoming mayor and uncovering the secrets of the Black Consumer Project.
Rather, that’s probably why the story of death from overwork coming out of his mouth doesn’t sound like a joke.
“I can even send you an elixir if necessary.”
“I am grateful, but I decline.”
Mayer smiled and waved his hand.
“When you’re my age, you have to be careful about making and taking medicine. My body can’t stand it.”
“….”
After all, there’s no way Mayer can’t get medicine because he lacks money or connections.
He must be aware of the fact that if he abuses the elixir in an old age, there will be a severe backlash.
Lennok thought about that for a moment, then took out a small business card from his pocket and held it up.
“This?”
“Between the hidden roads of Area 55, there lives a pharmacist called Yakseon.”
“…“
I can’t introduce myself because of circumstances, but it wouldn’t be bad to visit at least once.”
Yaksun Janusica Greenway.
He is a pharmacist who has reached level 7, and an old man who has raised his skills to geas and obtained unapproachable pharmaceutical abilities.
The person who dramatically fixed Lennok’s chronic disease, mana addiction.
However, he lives in seclusion in a secluded place due to the constraint of gias, which is that he forgets the memory of the patient he treated.
Lennok also dealt with Gias to some extent and was looking for a way to heal and subdue Janushka Greenway.
The situation is that the drug ship has time as long as it has dangerous geas.
She wouldn’t remember Lennok, but as long as she introduced her to Mayer would be fine.
Mayer accepted the business card from Lennok with a strange look on his face.
“If it’s the pharmacist you recommend, there’s no need to ask about your skills. I’ll see you right away as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”
“no.”
Lennok shook his head.
“I’d better go see him right now.”
“what? what the hell is that… … .”
Mayer replied casually, then realized Lennok’s intentions and hardened his face.
“…Right. Did I step into a place where I shouldn’t be?”
I realized right away that Lennok’s advice itself was more like telling me to leave this place right now and run away.
Instead of answering Mayer’s question right away, Lennok looked away in silence and stared at the tree’s roots.
The moment I picked up the tobacco I was holding in my mouth and brought it to the root.
Tsutsuchun… … !!
As if the flames and filler of the tobacco are being sucked out, they are absorbed by the roots of trees and disappear.
Lennok said as he removed his hand from the tobacco filter, which had disappeared in an instant.
“It is a power that absorbs and absorbs even the heat, rather than burning.”
“….”
“At this level of absorption, there is a risk that even breathing and nutritional mana floating in the air beyond the contact area will be taken away.”
Lennok nodded.
“I think there will be at least an artifact for self-defense, but…There is no need to take unnecessary risks.”
From the moment he saw the tree trunks stretching across the hallway, Lennok had a rough idea of what Reisen was encroaching on.
Since the Central Council knows that, it must have invested such a huge amount of security and investment to bury Reisen deep underground.
Mayer also has some means to protect himself, but this kind of environment itself eats away his energy.
There was no reason to risk a senator who now favored Lennok in the House of Representatives.
Mayer also understood Lennok’s intentions and nodded immediately.
“I understand. If you’re going to say that, it’s certainly not a lie.”
The appearance of meekly accepting Lennok’s advice without any additional comments.
In fact, did he think that it was right to fully follow the judgment as long as the expert who reached the pinnacle in this field was with him?
In that respect, Mayer was a man of flexibility that did not match his greed and ambition.
“However, even if it’s not me, it’s better to attach at least one guide to guide you around this place….”
“it’s okay.”
As Lennok said, he quietly gazed at the endless dark hallway.
“Because it seems that the other side has already recognized me.”
* * *
Send Mayer up through the elevator and slowly walk down the hallway alone.
The sound of wriggling tree trunks and the tapping of canes echoes throughout the corridor.
The light from the newly opened tobacco was the only light source to illuminate the dark hallway.
square square square… … !!
A sign of the tree trunks wriggling and gathering around the light of the tobacco in Lennok’s mouth.
The living tree trunks are staggering uncontrollably by the magic of Lennok seeping through the tobacco smoke.
It crawled towards Lennok, but was blocked by an invisible shield and hesitated, then retreated repeatedly.
Kiki Geek Kigi Geek!!
As you walk into the corridor, the number of tree trunks increases exponentially.
The surface of the hallway was so densely covered that even underfoot one could not see it.
By the time the corridor finally turns into the shape of a wilting old tree. On the other side of the open hill, Lennok spotted a tree.
“….”
The size of the tree is not too big to turn over and swallow the entire hallway of several tens of meters.
several meters in height. The thickness is the size of a couple of human torsos overlapping each other.
However, on the surface of the tree stump, blood vessels were swaying and bloodshot eyes were constantly rotating between the bark.
Kiki, Kkikkik… … !!
Just standing in front of a tree feels like your throat is burning and moisture and nutrients are sucked out.
If Lennok had been an ordinary human being, he would have been robbed and absorbed of his entire body’s energy while he stayed here for a while.
Even now, the disquieting will to pierce the shield and covet his magical power is clearly visible.
“I heard you wanted to meet me.”
Lennok looked at the silently wriggling tree and asked.
“If you have something to say, come out and do it. Or should I wait until I can speak?”
At that moment, the trunk of the tree squirmed and the branches hanging over the head swayed wildly.
Dark red fruits began to form between the twisted branches, as if squeezing out the energy inside them.
Kudo deuk!!
The moment when the size of the fruit gradually increased and changed to a size slightly larger than a fist.
Lennok realized that it was not a fruit, but the shape of a newborn baby.
“….”
While Lennok shuts up at the unimaginable sight, the baby born from the tree branch grows rapidly.
From boy to young man to man of age. from old age to old age.
The old man’s body dropped to the spot, as if a tree fruit that had turned into an old man cut it off.
Iron flip!!
The naked old man, whose whole body was drenched in an unknown liquid, wriggled and opened his eyes.
“ah….”
Lennok looked at him in silence, then asked incredulously.
“This is what it means that there is a separate time for conversation and a time to recover your mind.”
“….”
“Must we have to construct a completely new human body in order to communicate?”
The main body was completely engulfed by the power of the open sea, and the fruit of the tree was made into a human body and uttered its intentions.
Is this the end of Senator Raysen Azamaha, once called the city council’s trumpeter?
I thought it would have escaped human form long ago, but this is beyond my imagination.
It’s not at the level beyond human, but it’s a strange type that seems to have been distorted and diverged from the species lineage and expression itself.
Lennok immediately understood why the Central Council had kept Reisen alive and kept like this instead of disposing of it right away.
Being alive and twisted by accepting the power of the outer sea this deeply will help you in some way to explore the secrets of the outer world.
To some extent, the chairman expected that from Lennok and helped him meet Reisen.
I make eye contact with the naked old man who collapsed with his head down.
Lennok asked after meeting Reisen’s eyes, which were enveloped in a hazy mist.
“How does it feel to be a tree that was nourished by civilization?”
Extinct Acrotrinier.
A foreign press that has taken root and grown into an unfathomable civilization on the other side of the open sea, and has become part of the final outcome.
Warlock Craig Tillian succeeded in summoning a part of the incarnation by necromantic with the help of the Church.
And if Reisen, who held hands with Craig, was engulfed by the power of the open sea, it would be impossible unless it was the power of extinction.
The moment I saw the tree trunks stretching out in all directions of the hallway.
From the moment he heard the story of Reisen’s end from the chairman, Lennok had guessed about the existence of the Extinction.
“The ability of the Central Council is beyond imagination. I never thought I would lock up the encroachment of foreign powers underground in the city and isolate them… … .”
Lennox laughed and shook his head.
“It wouldn’t be strange if you made even the slightest mistake and more than tens of thousands of people were killed. Did you have the confidence to handle it?”
The old man slowly raised his blurry gaze as if in response to those words.
A dry, crackling voice leaked from his throat.
“I haven’t slept in decades….”
“….”
“I stay up all night with my eyes open, watching it float forever in space…me i… … I am…I didn’t want this… … .”
Although a considerable amount of time has passed since the death of the warlock Craig Tillian and the subjugation of the incarnation of extinction.
Even if you calculate the time accurately, the time of decades does not make sense.
Even more so when you consider that the power of extinction that Reisen was encroached upon was only discovered relatively recently.
But Lennok knew that Reisen’s muttered lament was not a lie.
“The feeling of time floating in space with the apocalypse on the other side of the open sea must be far different from what humans feel.”
Lennok replied.
“In that amount of time, it wouldn’t be strange if your mind completely wears out… … Rather, it is surprising that he has not forgotten the language yet.”
“The baptism of the religious denomination…I received it at a diplomatic event… … there was… … .”
Reisen stammered and answered with difficulty.
Irregular tones, as if replacing the sound of cracking tree nuts with language, rather than using human vocal cords to vibrate.
But even in the midst of that, Reisen was desperately trying to talk to Lennok.
“While reciting the sutras…Praise, worship, so-and-so… … .”
“You kept your spirits by reciting the doctrines of the Church?”
Lennox questioned that, but deep down he understood that fact to some extent.
There may be those who don’t admit it, but the Church is one of the experts who have the most accurate awareness of the Dark Sea.
They are the ones who can handle and manipulate their power in the realm of mutual benefit, even though they abuse fanaticism and human sacrifice for worship and praise.
Or maybe it’s only possible to use that way.
“Kill Ju Ju Ju Ju.”
“what?”
“Oh oh oh I can’t stand it for long…I can’t anymore… … .”
snap!!
Reisen, who touched Lennok’s shield with both hands, muttered blankly.
Now, it seems that even the pronunciation is blurred and leaks out, as if the voice cannot be maintained for a long time.
“It can’t be done without support money. If not now… … !!!”
The old man’s body splits apart on the spot, and the muscles and skeleton under the skin are crushed and melted like jellyfish.
The cry of Reisen, who looked at Lennok with bloodshot eyes and begged desperately.
“You can do it…You did it… … !!!”
“…”
“No…come back… … Dodo is coming back aaaaaa!!!”
Food Deok!!
On the spot, Reisen’s body was crushed and exploded without a trace, and the huge black tree moved greatly as if wriggling.
It was as if something had returned to this place in place of Reisen’s body and consciousness, which had disappeared, staring at Lennok.
[…] … .]
It is not a complex and ferocious emotion such as murderous intent or hostility.
An invisible mouth-watering appetite for food, as if looking at very delicious prey.
Encroached by the power of extinction, Reisen cannot even become a human.
I just think of it as nourishment that even Lennok can absorb faithfully according to the fundamental desires and instincts of foreign media.
Can this be called a tree? The moment Lennok shook his head with a wry smile.
A human face popped out from between the tree stumps and smiled brightly at Lennok.
[It looks delicious.]
Kiriririk!!
Hundreds of tree trunks covering all sides of the huge cellar coiled around Lennok and began spinning wildly.
* * *
The moment when Lennok’s model was covered with hundreds of tree trunks.
Hundreds of people who watched the scene through the broadcasting screen jumped up from their seats.
“Damn it rain…!!”
“Reisen Azamaha is trying to devour the dog!!”
“Activate the spell barrier. Get ready to administer the drug!”
“Plant Growth Inhibitor Injection!!”
“Complete construction of 86 types of conceptual sorcery and curses!”
The shamans gathered in the middle of the huge magic circle raised their strength from all sides.
Researchers in gowns run around busily and operate the drug delivery device.
Right after that, huge arrows protruded from all over the basement and got stuck between the tree trunks of the giant tree.
Push!! Push!!
A growth inhibitor built into the giant arrow forcibly suppresses the tree’s energy activity.
The shamans who were waiting to watch over Reisen poured dozens of spells and curses as if they had been waiting.
With scholars who have worked in Greenbelt and studied various plants and longevity species.
A collaboration between the city council shaman unit Bunren, which specializes in suppressing and restraining magical power receptors.
But even so, the tree trunks thrashed like mad in the cellar did not stop.
He was just swinging the tree trunk like a wave as if he was more excited by the pouring spells and drugs.
The barrier made of metal and insulator is absorbed and sucked out, and the space in the sealed basement shrinks.
Suddenly, red warning lights flashed everywhere, illuminating the pale scholars and shamans.
“Wrong. I’m not listening at all!!”
“I plan to completely devour the 8th level archmage. I’ve already turned the output all the way up!!”
“I didn’t even have a clue…Were you aiming for this from the beginning!!”
The adsorbing power of a single thin tree trunk is enough to suck up the moisture of a living human being.
If hundreds of such tree trunks massaged a person at the same time, it wouldn’t be strange if even the mana and soul were sucked out as food.
Even more so, what would happen if the target was an 8th level wizard with tremendous magical power?
The team leader, who intuited the worst situation, immediately put his hand on the emergency contact network.
“Cut off power work and evacuate. From now on, I will declare a state of emergency and ask for help from the top.”
“Unless it is a special force that transcends the hierarchy, it is impossible to deal with it. If it’s not an innocent reinforcement… … !!”
Duduk!!
At that moment, the movement of the tree, which had been restlessly moving around and kneading Lennok, stopped abruptly.
As if it had been burned by a hot fire, it was so startled that it was not enough to take my hands off it, so it started going wild out of control.
[…] … !!!]
As if an inaudible loud scream resounded, the tip of the tree trunk that raged violently was crushed and burst on the spot.
Don’t fall out!!!
The magical power of electric shock seeping through the tree trunk bursts cells and cuts tissue bonds.
A human face in pain appeared and disappeared dozens of times between the black giant tree’s surface.
[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
)
Shortly after, the tree trunks surrounding Lennok snapped off on the spot and turned into a handful of ashes.
The cellar, which had been filled with huge tree trunks, had been thoroughly cleaned, leaving only a small, withered tree.
In front of the small sapling that was left behind, a wizard holding a staff stood with an expressionless face.
Scholars who watched the scene grabbed the screen with dazed faces.
“…I decided I couldn’t eat it and cut off the root myself.”
“You made the decision to stop here even if you couldn’t survive on your own for a while?”
“No, it must have been a reaction close to pure instinct. But….”
“It won’t happen for a while, so it’s best not to provoke it.”
Lennok, who disappeared on the other side of the screen, was standing next to the scholars.
“The growth suppression you guys were originally trying to do was just replaced with my magical power.”
“Whoa!!”
“Since when!!”
The terrified scholars fall behind their chairs and back down.
Lennok looked at the scene expressionlessly, then turned around without regret.
“It’s the oldest lineage… … .”
Reisen only mentioned that keyword, but didn’t tell me what to do.
Lennok already had the means to investigate the meaning of the words.
“….”
The little shriveled wood in Lennok’s hand was peered at by the shamans with frightened eyes.
