Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Chapter 546
Kaise (3)
The last name that Lennok brought up after proposing research cooperation.
Did that word drive a wedge into Kaise’s confused judgment?
“…!!!”
Kaise’s reaction, unable to hide her agitation, stared intently at Lennok.
Just by hearing those words, Kaise seemed to understand and accept the current situation itself to some extent.
“Right…. You said that even Olivier had contacted you once. Have you been looking for new development personnel?”
Kaise, who quietly muttered to himself, nodded slowly.
“I thought you weren’t interested in this kind of research….”
It’s still not that his guard has been released, but he seems to have understood and accepted the current situation to some extent.
It was proof that the meaning of the name Alkaid was so heavy and serious.
“The fact that you know that name is proof that you are not an outsider. good.”
Without hesitation, Kaise took something out of his arms and tossed it at Lennok.
Lennok immediately accepted it and tried to step forward, but lost it under a much heavier weight than expected.
“hmm?”
Creepy!!
It was a hex wrench as thick as Lennok’s forearm that fell with a hard metal sound.
Kaise said curtly as Lennok looked down at Wrench with a slightly dazed expression.
“If you can’t even get that, what are you offering to help with?”
“No, what is this….”
“Stop talking nonsense and come up quickly. Are you going to make an offer first and then show condescension?”
Saying that, Kaise turned his back casually.
His attitude was so natural that it was hard to believe that he had just made a decision.
It was a reaction that seemed to have already half-accepted Lennok as a colleague for this research.
Is it because he has no regrets about his decision once he has made up his mind?
said Kayse, who, like Lennok, whimpered with a wrench in his hand as he climbed onto the mechanism resembling a giant egg.
“Because I have to finish the adjustment today and tighten all the screws. Be prepared to stay up all night.”
“….”
Helping with research didn’t mean I was going to beat myself up.
The picture is a bit different from what I expected, but what can I do if I can’t do it again?
Lennox sighed, picked up the wrench, and stood up.
* * *
Coordination work started with Kaise Bajour, the deceased ruler of the underworld.
The creator of the Black Consumer Project and the wizard with transcendental talent are working together.
The theme is space-time research that cannot be guaranteed to succeed even after elaborate thought experiments and discussions of high-level magical theories.
However, most of the non-stop conversations between egg-like mechanical devices were complaints closer to grumbling than exchanges of intelligence.
“So you can’t control the recoil unless you completely tighten this circuit to stop the flow.”
“Anyway, as time passes, the lock on the circuit will be released and the magical flow will be activated on the other side as well.”
Clearly, we are working steadily and cooperating, but the words we share with each other become more like an argument than an exchange of opinions.
It was Kaise’s side, not Lennok’s, that complained most of the time.
“In that case, it’s better to release it from the beginning and minimize damage to the circuitry.”
“What’s the use of suppressing damage to circuitry if you can’t get the performance you want?”
“I mean, the solution to be found is in the wrong direction.”
To Kaise’s question, Lennok replied, turning the wrench around with an expressionless face.
“No matter how positively you think about it, touching the source is suicidal. If you don’t want the whole power plant to explode, you should look elsewhere.”
“Opposition without a goddamn alternative is the word I hate the most. Do you know?”
“You seem to like unfounded approval.”
“Such a dog….”
Kaise sighed and looked up at the thousands of sparkling magic circuits and insertion pipes.
Kaise’s face was covered with soot, ash, and all sorts of dust.
Lennok looked down at Kaise with a somewhat curious look.
“….”
To be honest, Lennok didn’t feel the situation was too bad.
Kaise’s understanding of time and space is truly amazing, so Lennok learns a lot just by arguing and exchanging theories.
All Lennok has to do is to understand the design Kaise has already built up and suggest a different direction.
It was enough to feel that Lennok’s understanding of manipulating space and time was rapidly increasing.
If it wasn’t for the need to resolve the gap between the radiation exposure phenomenon and time and space, as Kaise said, we would have stayed up all night discussing his ideal magic theory.
Kaise, who stared at the flow of magical power through his black sparkling eyes, opened his mouth after a long time.
“You are very different from the guy I know.”
Lennok’s hand, which was struggling to turn the wrench with both hands, stopped.
“What do you mean?”
“I feel like we are having a conversation together.”
“….”
“The feeling of being properly attached to this world. Do you know what I mean?”
Saying that, Kaise laughed as he grabbed the pipe filter and loosened it.
“I don’t know what I’m talking about either. It’s just a story.”
“Looks like you’ve gone half crazy because you’re so absorbed in the project.”
Lennox pondered for a moment, then maintained a neutral response.
Rather, it was because he felt comfortable with such an attitude and felt that he was trying to confide in him.
However, Kaise couldn’t laugh at that answer.
“okay. Maybe I’m really crazy… … . I really do think about that sometimes.”
“….”
“Maybe you, whom I am talking to now, are also hallucinations created by me. If someone else sees it, wouldn’t I be muttering like crazy to myself?”
Kaise muttered with a blank face.
“It started to change the world, but as the end approaches, it becomes increasingly difficult to remember the beginning… … . When I feel that I am getting closer to the truth, on the contrary, I am getting further away from myself.”
Without waiting for Lennok’s answer, the conversation continues.
“Does the end really exist? Can we really reach something beyond a set end?”
“Are you afraid that the project will end meaninglessly?”
“I’d rather be glad it ended like that.”
Kaise’s smile turned cold.
“But what if it gets worse from here? What if we are pressing for the end of the world right here and now?”
“….”
“I don’t think it could get any worse than this, but the monsters that swim in the open sea have always given the worst of humanity. What am I supposed to do if all we’ve been doing is hastening rather than preventing destruction?”
Kaise’s shoulders seemed to hang weakly as he grabbed the wrench.
“I am losing my confidence more and more…Even Alcaid’s advice can’t be seen or heard with Oliveira’s eyes. How much more should I tell my colleagues who follow me about this?”
“….”
The fact that he confided his concerns to Lennok, whom he had never seen before, proves how mentally cornered Kaise was at the time.
Proof that even the trivial argument he had just had with Lennok while servicing the equipment felt like a brief break for Kaise.
But Lennok understood why Kaise was so insecure.
The man standing next to him now is one of the geniuses who has come closest to the secrets of the world in history.
Rather, it makes them more anxious and mentally concentrated.
Because he knows that he has reached a level where he can truly touch the end of the world.
I also understand that even if I do a little wrong, the situation can go to the worst than now.
Kaise’s anxiety and nervousness that bordered on mania are rather proof that he was the manager and creator of a project that was just as good and excellent.
“Just because you can suspect yourself of being crazy doesn’t mean you’re done yet.”
Lennok answered, picking up the wrench again and tightening the screw.
“Then, it’s just a matter of making the plan work before it goes completely insane. I don’t know why you’re wasting your energy so needlessly when there is a simple solution.”
“…Are you saying that now?”
Kaise’s dejected laugh.
Lennok knows. What an irresponsible and thoughtless answer Lenok had just thrown.
However, Kaise seemed to have come to his senses halfway to Lennok’s irresponsible answer.
He rubbed his soot-stained face with his bare hands, and then began to smile with a darker face.
“Well, I understand that you are not hallucinating. There’s no way my hallucinations would say such nonsense.”
His black eyes, smiling, were shining much more vividly than before.
“….”
“good. We’ve had enough of the bullshit, so let’s get this done quickly. At this rate, I can roughly wrap things up before Oliviera returns.”
Instead of replying, Lennok stared blankly at Kaise, who was squirming from below.
In his lifetime, Kaise did not often display the overwhelming charisma or dignity that Lennok had imagined.
Rather, like the others, he was just a person who hesitated and hesitated, not being sure about the answer he had decided on.
As Kaise said, the adjustment of the mechanism will be finished soon.
The two of them were constantly adjusting the device while having a discussion close to an argument without rest, steadily eliminating the parts that caused problems.
The result of Kaise’s space-time research, which was completed at a rather early time that would never have existed in this timeline originally.
“….”
I’m not worried.
What is happening now in this closed area is not really happening in the past.
I’m not flying into the past and meeting people from that era, I’m just facing separated memories in this area’s timeline.
Even if Lennok directly intervenes and changes part of the past, there is no possibility of a time paradox.
That’s why, rather than interfering with Kaise’s research, Lennok tried to solve this situation by cooperating with him and ending the research quickly.
I thought that gaining Kaise’s trust by helping with research would be an effective way to find out the secret of the project and solve the gap between time and space.
But is there any meaning in this moment when you listened to Kaise’s concerns and eased his mind for a moment?
Will Lennok be able to hear the secret and truth he wants from Kaise before this strange phenomenon in the closed area is over?
Why is the timeline of decades ago being reproduced in the closed area at this point?
Is the exposure phenomenon that occurred as a result of it changing more violently?
There is no truth that Lennok has yet fully comprehended and grasped.
Helping Kaise complete his research now is only the first step towards resolving a series of problems in this area.
‘I don’t know how far others have noticed this situation, but… … .’
Lennok had no choice but to do what he could.
“It’s almost finished.”
Wheein!!
After covering the steel plate of the egg that made up the surface of the giant egg and tightening the screws, Kaise stepped back with a satisfied expression while wiping his sweat.
“Still, I’m glad it ended much sooner than I thought. With this, I can get back to the front a week early.”
“….”
“I don’t know what they were thinking, but there weren’t many people who really understood this field in the first place…It was helpful.”
Kaise turned to Lennok, cleared his throat a few times, then smiled.
“Thank you for that fact. Is there any reward or price you want?”
“It’s a price… … .”
“Right now, I’m holding on to the wrench and covering myself with soot, but even so, I tend to use my strength when I go out.”
Kaise burst out laughing and said while wiping his face with the end of his sleeve.
“It’s not famous or rich, but it’s good enough to meet one condition you want.”
“….”
“Don’t be afraid, just think about it. If you came after hearing the message from Alkaid, I hope you will continue to cooperate with the project.”
‘It’s a reward.’
Lennok delayed answering, unhooking the holder from which he was hanging and slowly descending to the ground.
Lennok, who was standing next to Kaise and quietly looking up at the mechanism, asked,
“Tablet. Didn’t you break it earlier?”
“It did.”
Kaise scratched his cheek shyly.
“I need a terminal to control the facility as a whole, but I don’t see any control equipment near the power room.”
“Ah, were you thinking about that?”
Kaise nodded as if he finally understood Lennok’s lukewarm attitude.
“You have good concentration. It’s not easy to find a team member with these skills. I mean, I’m getting more and more greedy… … .”
“….”
“My friends and co-workers are good at fighting and breaking things, but they’re not very good at digging deep into the field of knowledge.”
Saying that, Kaise casually walked towards the broken tablet.
He murmured softly as he placed his hand over the shards of the smashed tablet he had thrown at Lennok.
“I wish there were more trustworthy people on the development team of the project. I can’t believe the senate… … . what good.”
Kaise grinned and turned his gaze to Lennok.
“You were watching how my mana flows, right? I will tell you why now.”
Purple mana flowed over Kaise’s hand, who slowly raised his spirits.
The moment when the magical energy flowing backwards against the life activities inside the body entwine between the fragments of the tablet and rises.
Charreureuk!!
The fragments of the tablet, which were completely smashed and whose parts and internal structure were exposed, began to be restored on the spot, as if time were rewinding.
While Lennok looked away with a slightly startled look at the unexpected sight.
Kaise casually took the reassembled tablet in his hand and turned it on.
ugh!!
“Still, I am still not in bad shape. I haven’t used magic for anything like this lately.”
“….”
“From the beginning, the functions of the device were linked to only this one tablet. It can also reduce the risk of needlessly leaking confidential information.”
Lennok quietly stared at Kaise as he smiled and waved the tablet.
A phenomenon in which the tablet self-repairs as if time were rewinding.
It was because he was certain that it was not a miracle that Kaise created by chance.
The magical power that flows in reverse to life activities. The attitude of working on it casually even after smashing the tablet.
Why did he, close to the boss of the underworld, stand at the center of such a serious project and research?
I feel like all those questions have just been solved a little bit by that one miracle.
Kaise Bajour’s magical power does not simply flow against the vital activity within the body.
It was the power to deny and reverse the concept of time beyond retrograde.
