Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 704
The Uninvited Guest (5)
An overwhelming victory against Peisha Grisburn.
But Lennok knew that this was the result of forced luck.
Unrealistic strong luck that hits the jackpot more than 10 times every time you spin the slot.
As he rolled the pentarect-made dice with one hand, Lennok was lost in thought.
‘This is as I thought.’
The pentarect received from Myung is an object that recognizes the surrounding situation in real time and metamorphoses in the most efficient direction.
So, Lennok had experimented in various places, thinking about how to use the pentarect on a regular basis.
The casino belonged to a place where it was relatively easy to adjust the direction of pentarect’s transformation.
‘It’s difficult to adjust luck, but it’s not impossible if it’s a place with a clear purpose like a casino.’
Gambling and probability If you use a pentarect in this place where you blindly cling to luck and possibility, it will almost certainly be an item that corrects your luck.
Lennok used it to forcibly adjust his luck the moment he confronted Peisha, demonstrating a series of ridiculously strong luck and knocking out Peisha’s character.
‘The problem starts now.’
I had no intention of running away from the beginning against Peisha, who was so excited by the unreasonable defeat.
The reason why he threw the obvious provocation was to keep her in this game and dig up information.
The problem was that the performance of items that adjust luck was close to one-off.
The luck amplified through pentarect transformation is only the first time. That’s just a power that only applies to simple devices like slot machines.
At this point, when the item’s effect has expired, it’s up to Lennok whether or not to interest Peisha.
The game started over before the trouble was over.
bang!!
[2P WIN!!]
Contrary to earlier, Lennok’s defeat.
In the game restarted due to Peisha’s coercion, Lennok was losing to Peisha over and over again.
While looking at the points being settled after the game was over, Peysha poked her head out next to the game machine.
“Hey, are you not doing it right?”
Peeing… … !!
As the lifeblood she fired narrowly missed Lennok, the customers standing behind frothed and fainted.
“Kreak…!!”
“…There are no points anymore.”
Instead of responding again, Lennok pretended to step away.
Even if he didn’t, the points he had earned from Peisha ran out due to a series of defeats.
However, Paisha seemed annoyed, picked up a handful of brown chips and tossed them at Lennok.
Chow!!
“This is…!!”
Chips with a value of more than 5 million cells per one are scattered randomly.
Peysha nodded to Lennok while the other guests were shocked.
“Put it in. I will do it again.”
A high-handed attitude that does not allow rejection.
Lennok, who had been silently looking at Chip, nodded slowly.
‘I get it roughly.’
After playing against Faysha to fill in the experience that the first few plays lacked, I can see why this game is so popular in Talker Puzz.
It seems that the luck factor of gambling is in the main, but the reality is completely different.
The rotating slot adjusts the probability according to the situation, and the adjusted probability is designed to determine superiority and inferiority according to judgment and psychological warfare.
Even though I’m obviously inserting a coin and touching the console, I feel like I’m fighting a battle with a superman right in front of my eyes.
That’s why it’s understandable why Peisha was so angry at her first unreasonable defeat.
‘It must have been a game made for high-ranking superhumans from the beginning. no rather… … .’
Should it be said that it is a game made to experience high-speed battles of high-ranking superhumans?
Psychological warfare and numerical battles in superhuman battles are not limited to the realm of calculation or judgment.
Reading each other’s psychology and sometimes inducing it, turning even a low probability into a reality with a high possibility.
Peysha said, glaring at Lennox Bay.
“If you do it one more time, I will kill you. okay?”
“…I will.”
I understand that the essence of this game is not just luck or gambling.
If the play method itself had something in common with the battles of high-ranking superhumans, Lennok could also do something.
Lennok, who had been matched, also manipulated the console in a completely different way.
thud!!
Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
At a speed that was incomparable to before, the battle and defense commands crossed and the slots rotated.
Even though the points raised above each other’s heads are being cut off at a rapid pace, the physical strength of the two characters is barely cut.
Dozens of attack opportunities are consumed and disappear, and a number fight and judgment with a density that exceeds the number is returned.
The exchange of workshops is so intense that dozens of slots around the character rotate at the same time whenever a command is entered.
Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
The slots popping up from all over the place calculate the probability dozens of times and move the character to the point where the character can’t even be seen properly.
“Oh oh oh….”
“What the hell is this…!!”
The onlookers from behind opened their mouths blankly and stared at the endlessly spinning slot.
Even the servers working throughout the casino stopped walking and watched the game with a surprised expression.
Peysha grinned.
“You knew how to do it right.”
And suddenly, the movement of the character Peisha manipulated changed dramatically.
A character who used to mix attack and defense commands in the right place started shooting attack commands while completely ignoring defense.
[lower. lower. stop. lower. Top. Top.]
Doo doo doo!!!
[invalidity. cancellation. work. work. work. work. Invalid.]
Once again, the dozens of slots that were covering the screen were covered with that many slot judgments.
The character he manipulates is not visible at all, and only judgments based on commands are running one after another.
You have to manipulate the character and make decisions based solely on memory and prediction.
“Oh, are you following me?”
“…”
This sense of discrepancy that the slot judgment cannot follow the character operation.
Through it, the screen required for operation and the appearance of the character are completely blocked.
After causing it intentionally, Peisha was continuing the game by relying on her memory.
He probably remembers all the commands and judgments he exchanged with Lennok up until now.
The game progresses by attaching predictions and commands to the movements of invisible characters.
As soon as the opponent can’t catch up even for a moment, her attack command will be allowed unilaterally.
But even though Lennok knew that fact, he hit the game machine with commands one after another without answering.
[Cancel operation void void void void void void void.]
As if a key and a lock are engaged, the game continues with all hit judgments turned into invalid.
“Hahahaha!!”
Peysha, who was sitting across from her, let out a shrill laugh.
“What happened?”
“Is it still going on even though the game machine is broken…? … .”
“How are you still playing the game when the slots keep running like that?”
The expressions of the people who were watching the game between the two became dumbfounded, unable to understand the situation any further.
On the contrary, those who understand how the game is played become more and more silent.
“You are crazy. That… … .”
“Let’s look a little longer and run away right away.”
“To agree. I can’t stay here long.”
“….”
PABABABAK!!
After the fighting, which used a combination of attack and defense, it was a slugfest in which they beat each other while ignoring the damage they received.
‘Is this the last?’
Lennok remembers exactly how many attack points he spent in this game.
Perhaps Peysha, who beat Lennok, must also be aware of it.
Whichever side wins, there is no next round. This game is the last.
Even onlookers who didn’t understand what was going on widened their eyes at the rapidly wearing away health bar.
“Oh oh oh…!!”
Hundreds of slots and verdicts running around the screen.
The stamina that is being shaved off and the magnificent sound of music that resonates.
The moment when the stamina of the two people who maintained the antagonistic state reached the end at the same time and finally tilted to one side.
Dismissed!!
The screen that Lennok and Peysha were watching turned black.
“….”
The two stopped operating the console almost at the same time.
People who had been watching quietly began to hum.
“What is…Is it over?”
“Once the game is over, it shows who won.”
“I don’t know…After pouring in this much points, an event might come out… … .”
The manager, who ran in panting behind the people whispering around him, bowed his head so deeply that his waist folded in front of the two of them.
“I am so sorry!!”
“….”
“It seems that the game machine has stopped due to overload of playing memory. I will restore it right away!!”
The screen didn’t stop because of some special event or hidden peace.
It’s just that the game machine that couldn’t beat the subordinate just before the two had a game went down.
Only then did the onlookers, who understood the situation, start throwing chips at the manager with angry expressions.
“Does that make sense, you crazy bastard!!”
“How do you manage the casino, get the new game machine out of here!!”
“sorry…!!”
The technicians brought by the manager hurriedly began fixing the game console.
Putting down the console he was holding, Lenok raised his eyes and smiled.
“Was it an illusion?”
Lennok’s guess that he indirectly implemented the battle of high-ranking superhumans was an illusion, and it might have been a bug using the game console’s operating error.
However, Lennok was still convinced that the game he had just played with Faisha in front of him was real.
She is not something that can be described as a mediocre superhuman or warrior.
A soldier who has acquired a transcendent hierarchy and completed self-change, finding a new self and training himself in countless battles.
A being who has lived a more dense and desperate life than all the people in this gambling hall combined.
Drooling!
Peysha got up and walked slowly towards Lennok, ignoring the manager.
Leaning on the device with one hand, she stared down at Lennok.
“I have a very good memory.”
Paisha said.
“That’s why I never forget good or bad memories.”
“….”
“In that sense, the game I just had was very fun. I think I’ll keep thinking about it until I go back to Talker Fuzz.”
She smiled as Lennok stared at the screen quietly, leaving the console behind.
“I want to win even if I use all the chips in the casino, but…I have work to do today.”
“A thing to do?”
“two days later. Please come and wait for me at the same time.”
Peysha whispered, slowly lowering her head into Lennok’s ear.
“Then I’ll turn a blind eye to the fact that you’ve been treated by Murphy in the name of Peisha Grisburn.”
A completely unexpected insight.
Before Lennoc could answer that question, Peysha stormed out of the casino.
* * *
The roof of the building where the wind blows.
Standing with the splendid night view of the street under his feet, Lennok was looking at his cell phone.
What appeared on the screen was a crude Internet newspaper that did not even have a proper shape.
This site, which is purely informational, covers only the latest happenings in the shadows of the 40th District.
And there were several articles that caught Lennok’s eyes in unusually large letters.
[Genocide at a bank outside District 47.]
“….”
Lennok passed a few more articles silently with a sunken gaze.
[The number of victims is over 500. There will be major changes to the district organization chart…]
[More than 300 deaths coincide in seconds. The culprit is presumed to be a high-ranking superman… … ]
[A bruise that did not involve any magic. The on-site coroner hints at the existence of a person with transcendent physical abilities… … ]
[Among the victims witnessed at the scene at the time, only the body of the arena manager has not yet been found…]
Lennok’s fingers flicked across the screen and stopped.
The demon of Dead Rise, who enjoys killing people, has disappeared with only one manager.
Does it mean that simply visiting the casino wasn’t just to enjoy the game?
I thought it was a fleeting whim, but Peisha’s movements had an unmistakable purpose.
Darby noticed Lennok’s intentions and quickly searched the database and uploaded the data.
[I stole the manager’s personal information from the 47th district office. He suddenly made his identity 10 years ago, and since then he has been living in the 40th district.]
“He was probably from Dead Rise.”
[…] … Those violent organisms?]
Lennok said, recalling the last conversation he had with Peysha.
When Peysha said she would spare Lennok, she never mentioned Lennok’s identity or skills.
Instead, he said he would turn a blind eye to it by telling a story about the vampire doctor Murphy, who did Lennok’s checkup.
What facts can be grasped about Peisha from that fact?
‘I heard that Murphy worked as a medic on the Dead Rise side.’
Peisha didn’t recognize that Lennok was half or that he was a great wizard called the dog.
By some means, she recognized that Lennok had seen Murphy, and assumed that Lennok was from the same Dead Rise as her.
Nevertheless, the reason why he said ‘I will close my eyes’ instead of embracing or welcoming Lennok.
“Peisha has no intention of rallying the remnants of Dead Rise in Balkan.”
Lennok murmured as he tucked his phone into his arms.
“From the start, she had planned to kill all the Dead Rise officials left in the city.”
[…] … .]
Lennok couldn’t figure out why they were massacring the people involved in Dead Rise.
However, at this point, it is true that you have confirmed that you have a definite purpose other than the satellite.
“Two days….”
Considering that he told me to come back to the casino in two days, it must be considered that he was planning to finish everything within two days.
Then Lennok also needed to come up with a different way to find the satellite factory.
“Dabi.”
[System check is over. Surveillance system seized.]
Whoo!!
time close to midnight. Above the rooftop where the cold wind blows, the starry night sky is brightly revealed.
Lennok sat on the edge of the roof, slowly gazing at the constellations and raising his mana.
keying!!
As he forcibly accelerated his consciousness with magic, the night sky above Lennok’s head spun around him.
The illusion of the stars in the night sky rotating in a circle, drawing countless rings of light, overlapping and shining.
Lennok quietly called someone’s name at the end.
“Lapis.”
The answer came shortly after.
A calm whispering voice echoed through the revolving constellations.
[…] … Evan?]
A method of contacting the mind of the lighthouse keeper by moving the celestial sphere using the constellations in the night sky.
At the time of the incident in the Hanhasasa Labyrinth, Lennok contacted Lapis through this method and was summoned to the North Continent where the labyrinth is located.
Lennok remembered what had happened at the time and tried to contact Lapis directly at the right time.
“This is the first time since the Far East Branch of the Church.”
[You really are Evan. Less than five people have taught me this method… … .]
The voice that hesitated for a moment seemed embarrassed and immediately called out to Lennok.
[I was worried because I couldn’t contact you for a long time. I only heard the news from time to time through Evelyn… … You’re safe.]
“There were many things.”
After answering that, Lennok asked back.
“Did the training for the Far East branch go well? It could have been a problem not being able to retrieve Amrita’s corpse.”
[Thanks to Evan’s help, I’m safely going around the other side of the sea. They serve as the most private and free eyes,]
said Lapis.
[I finished building the fifth lighthouse a while ago, and now I’m observing the central front.]
The power of the lighthouse that observed the curtain sparked the deal between Dead Rise and the Blaver Magic Tower, which led to the current situation.
But on the other hand, if you borrow the power of the lighthouse, you will be able to figure out how they are trying to build a satellite.
Lennok immediately contacted Lapis to find out the location of the satellite factory using the lighthouse.
“There is something I want to ask you about.”
said Lennok.
“Dead Rise is building satellites that illuminate the central front. I want to know the location. Could you lend me the lighthouse?”
Lapis did not answer. He was just silent, as if thinking deeply about something.
It wasn’t long before her voice resounded as if she had realized something.
[okay. so….]
“….”
[Evan. You don’t have to ask me. Without Evan’s help, the lighthouse itself wouldn’t exist.]
Lapis said softly.
[I’d be happy to help if I could repay the contributions I’ve made so far.]
“…Call the location and I will go myself.”
Lennok said that, slightly opening his eyes and raising his mana.
“I will go over there and explain the details.”
[Oh, but what you said about the lighthouse is impossible. Rather, I should have contacted you in advance.]
“….”
[I want to tell you directly. Can you open the mental barrier just a little bit?]
An unusual reaction somewhere.
A sense of incongruity that I couldn’t feel from Lapis before, and a slightly different tone of voice.
The moment Lennok silently reaped his magic so that Lapis’s will could be established.
[Sight. I’ll borrow it for a moment.]
A completely different landscape began to unfold in front of Lennok’s eyes.
Faaaaa!!!
The surrounding landscape changed from the rooftop of a building in the middle of the night to a bright flower field under a bright sky.
A beautiful view spread out over a gently sloping hill.
It was only the scenery he was looking at that had changed, but the warm wind seemed to caress Lennok’s senses as well.
After belatedly realizing how Lapis was presenting this landscape, Lennok was deeply impressed.
‘Is it the lighthouse keeper’s authority?’
An unrealistic supernatural power that forcibly synchronizes with Lennok’s view and overlaps it with Lapis’ own position.
When I first met her, she was so skillful that she couldn’t even imagine.
The senses are so powerful that you really feel like you are standing in the middle of this field of flowers.
“….”
The appearance of Lapis, who cannot be seen even with sight synchronization. Lennok, who was worried, moved his mind slowly through the flower fields.
Every time I walked past the glaring hill like sliding, I started to see something on the other side of the flower field.
A pure white and transparent lens. Someone’s name is engraved on the carefully processed elongated lens.
Like a tombstone made to commemorate the dead.
“….”
A graveyard of hundreds of transparent crystal tombstones built among flower fields.
In the middle of it, a woman with flowing blue hair stood with her back turned.
She was standing still with a flower in her hand, wearing a pure white dress.
The energy of life felt in her is so faint that it is difficult to determine whether she is breathing.
“Lapis.”
Silently, Lennok stood behind her and called her name slowly.
Lapis spoke quietly without looking back at Lennok.
“You asked to borrow the authority of the lighthouse, but that is impossible.”
“Why?”
Lapis slowly turned his head at Lennok’s words and smiled.
“That’s because Evan is the owner of the fifth lighthouse, not me.”
“…what?”
