Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Chapter 599
Fragments and Parts (1)
After the Rabatenon Magic University terror attack, which was caused by the shamans of the mysterious palace,
the media made headlines about the progress and aftermath of the incident for several days.
[Three days have passed since the terrorist attack targeting the students of Rabatenon Magic University was officially ended.] [
Criticism is pouring in from all walks of life for the fact that a terrorist attack has taken place against an educational institution directly under the city government… … ]
[There are a significant number of public officials directly or indirectly involved in this situation, so disturbances are expected in the Central Council.] [It is assumed that
some of the senators will not be able to avoid responsibility as they plotted their affairs… … ]
Lennok looked at the announcers who were reporting the news incessantly, then glanced sideways.
“Coming to think of it, I think the last time we met was when news like this was pouring out.”
“….”
“When the quarantine measures in the closed area were lifted and related news was released to the public. The dean gave me a warning.”
A sunny university ward. Among them, the highest-class private room for VIPs.
The dean, who was lying under a white blanket with bandages all over his body, slowly opened his eyes at Lennok’s words.
He smiled bitterly, unable to raise his head to look at Lennok properly.
“Perhaps, from then on, we may have already anticipated the catastrophe….”
“….”
“As a result, the city councilors involved could not escape their responsibilities as things turned out this way. It was a plan from the beginning that everyone just failed.”
The dean’s voice sank deeply.
As Lennok was about to respond to the dean’s words, other news spewed out from the screen hanging on the wall of the hospital room.
[There is also a lively debate about the responsibility of Lavatenon’s dean, Saiolus Garteanon.] [
Although he is currently in critical condition, it is assumed that he will never be able to avoid responsibility for endangering the students… … .]
[Academics cautiously expressed their opinion that this incident might lead to his resignation as dean.]
Lennok, who had been listening to the news with his back turned, nodded.
“Is it true?”
“Maybe even if it’s not my doctor.”
The dean nodded.
“The incident has grown too big to cover up this incident with just one or two people undressing.”
“….”
Aside from the fact that the dean himself did not cooperate with the shamans of the mysterious palace, the fact that the university’s defense and security was breached is fatal.
There is evidence that he fought against the shamans and was wounded, so it would be impossible to keep the dean’s place gracefully, even if he could avoid punishment.
“Don’t worry about the Technical Advisory Committee. Even without me, your membership is already confirmed based on your performance.”
The dean spoke first, as if he knew what Lennok was thinking.
“Rather, the issue is about your combined master’s and doctoral dissertation and your inauguration as a professor. The successor who will be inaugurated after me will have to take good care of them….”
“I hope you don’t have to worry about that.”
jump!!
At the same time, the door to the hospital room opened and an old man with gray hair walked in.
A sharp and sensitive impression. An elderly man of advanced age who looked considerably older than he looked.
However, the eyes of an old man in a coat holding a cane are not suitable for his age.
Recognizing the old man’s face, the dean muttered slightly surprised.
“Congressman Mayer….”
Old man John Mayer, who entered the House of Representatives at the oldest age and became a member of the Board of Audit and Inspection.
This ambitious man, who had been acquainted with Lennok in various identities, suddenly appeared in the university hospital room where the dean resided.
“The Central Council Board of Audit and Inspection took care of this situation.”
Mayer said quietly, looking down at the dean’s face, not even sitting next to Lennok.
“As long as it is estimated that there are more than five lawmakers involved in this incident, regardless of the Senate and the House, this lawmaker will carefully review and judge who is responsible for this incident and raise it to the top.”
He looked back and forth between Lennok and the dean with a stern gaze and nodded.
“As you guessed, it would be difficult for the dean, who is acquainted with Hyman Kilberg, to avoid responsibility in this matter.”
“….”
Looking at the silent dean, Mayer spoke again.
“But on the other hand, it means that our Board of Audit and Inspection can play some role in choosing your successor.”
“that…!”
“I deeply sympathize with the achievements and talents of Assistant Professor Evan Bylon.”
said Mayer, giving Lennok a completely different look from the stern look he had given to the dean.
A greedy gaze that goes beyond favoring talented people and wants to be in the same boat.
“For the candidate who will succeed you as dean, I will try my best to recommend someone with the same thoughts as me.”
“…thank you.”
Lennok bowed his head ceremoniously when he said that, but he wasn’t really that surprised.
He was certain that when Mayer appeared in person, he hadn’t come with an offer that would hurt Lennok.
If the situation went badly for Evan, Mayer would not bother to reveal himself.
Even though he had come with a compromise that would actually help Lennok, he was certain that he was in a position where he could condescend to it, so he must have come and told him in person.
“Oh, and Garteanon, it was decided to retain your position on the Technical Advisory Committee after discussion, so please refer to it.”
Mayer, who had finished his message and turned around, spoke as if he had belatedly remembered.
“Originally, the position should have been expunged at the same time as the dean’s resignation, but other members of the committee strongly objected to your dismissal.”
“Other members…?”
The dean muttered quietly as if slightly surprised.
“Surprisingly hard. They’re not compassionate enough to do that… … .”
“Isn’t it because you and Evan Bylon’s partnership is so important to you?”
Mayer tapped his cane and replied with a sullen expression.
“Professor Bylon hasn’t even joined the advisory board yet, which seems to be a sign that he doesn’t want to ruin the relationship with you. for me.”
“….”
Looking at the thoughtful dean, Mayer said no more and turned his back without delay.
Lennok casually followed him out of the hospital room and briefly greeted Mayer out of the hallway.
“Thank you for caring.”
“Don’t worry, there won’t be any sparks flying to you.”
Mayer smiled benevolently and casually patted Lennok on the shoulder.
Mayer’s gaze, as if looking at a lump of treasure, was truly blatant, but that’s why it was rather believable.
“Furthermore, you tried to evacuate the students first and stay until the end to sort things out, right? That’s enough. The media won’t touch you either.”
Mayer, who was greeted by Lennok and was about to leave the university ward with the bodyguards, stopped as if thinking of something.
“Oh, come to think of it, I had something to tell you in advance.”
“Tell me.”
“Some of the city council members of the central council will be stripped of their clothes because of this. Among them are two or three long-serving members of the Senate. It’s been a while since there’s a vacancy in the Senate seat.”
“….”
“Do you know what this means?”
Lennok, who only then realized the meaning of Mayer’s words, looked at him with a slightly surprised expression.
What Mayer is telling Lennox right now is not simply a message that there is a vacuum in the Senate.
It was not difficult for Lennock to guess what it meant that Mayer, who stayed in the House of Representatives, knew the vacant seat.
“I hope to see you again in a better place next time.”
Lennok lowered his head slightly and added.
“Senator Mayer.”
“As expected, smart wizards are all quick-witted and clever.”
Mayer nodded in satisfaction and smiled.
“Among the very talented wizards I know, there is a man similar to you in terms of talent.”
“….”
“I hope next time I can introduce that friend to you.”
Even though he didn’t listen to the end, Lennok smiled bitterly, as if he somehow knew who the wizard was.
* * *
Lennok’s Mansion Basement Lab.
One side of the lab, where all sorts of artifacts and thesis books are usually piled up, has been cleared away and an unknown magic method is drawn on the floor.
Dabi crouched down in the middle of the blue-glow magic team, tilting her head from time to time.
Every time the five-pronged tail swayed gently, the brilliance of magical power shone brightly through the pure white fur.
Aaaaaaa!!
[Ugh….]
“Is this not enough?”
[The big feeling is…I don’t think there is?]
“I see.”
Lennok nodded and withdrew the mana he had laid down in advance with a single gesture.
Whoop!!
Darby, who had walked out of the dark and faded magic circle, jumped onto Lennok’s shoulder.
Lennok tilted his head quietly, looking at the shape of the court under his feet.
“I didn’t think it would turn out as well as expected, but…There is no way you can use a fair amount of artifacts as material.”
Spirit Growth Promotion Ritual used by the shamans of the Mystic Shrine to grow their own spirits.
Darby, who swallowed the arrangement prepared by Hyman Kilberg for the Creation Spirit, succeeded in awakening the fifth tail.
The spirit growth promotion ritual obtained after dealing with Hyman did not have much effect.
“I mean, I didn’t try to make an offering using the wizard as a catalyst for nothing….”
A ritual to gradually grow the power of spirits by installing a magic court and offering the necessary catalysts to the magic court in turn.
However, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the energy created by offering the catalyst in the process was rarely fully transmitted to the spirit.
Despite strictly borrowing the power of spells and rituals, the amount of consumption lost while transmitting the power is unbelievable.
Almost as much horsepower as a truck had to be poured into it, and the horsepower equivalent to tears could barely be detected by Darby’s cognitive abilities.
[Couldn’t these evil sorcerers have cheated?]
Darby said, raising her five-pronged tail.
[I think we need to punish those organisms one more time.]
“What are you talking about when there are not even five shamans of the Mystic Palace who survived?”
Lennok said as he pinched Darby’s cheek and crumpled it.
“The ritual itself is real. The problem seems to be on the other side of efficiency.”
Having tried various artifacts as catalysts with Darby, the essence of spirit growth promotion rituals is to directly stimulate the spirits of spirits.
Originally, the spirituality of an intelligent body is not only physically untouchable, but also difficult to interfere with unless it is a specific curse or negative consciousness.
However, this ritual makes it possible to directly stimulate the spirituality of a spirit with magic only by consuming a specific catalyst for the existence of a spirit.
Most spirits can greatly increase their cognitive ability and raise their existence to the next level just by stimulating their spirituality through these rituals.
In the case of Darby, the reason why he didn’t get a response even though he consumed all kinds of artifacts to stimulate his spirituality.
It was because the growth process necessary for other spirits had already been passed by Darby a long time ago.
“Your spirituality and cognitive abilities are so vastly developed that even moderate stimulation doesn’t inspire you.”
[under….]
Darby tilted her head back and shook her head.
[Also, it was because the master’s spirit was too good. If that’s the case, I can understand.]
“….”
[When you think about it, it was natural. I should have realized earlier that my spirituality, which never neglects training even for a day, is as wide as the sea, rather than those who are satisfied with just eating their fill and falling asleep!
]
[I’ve been there with Master?]
“I’ve been there with you… … Right.”
Lennok, who inadvertently tried to refute the statement that he went to the sea together, realized when Darby was talking about and fell silent.
The Dominion of Philenom, where the main base of the Blue Eye is located. Haven’t you visited the Sea of Understanding where the floating island community is located?
Lennok was busy searching through the drug lord’s warehouse at the time, but Darby seemed to remember the first sight of the sea for a long time.
When I think about it, there were definitely moments when I was able to see the sea, like when I visited the Far East branch of the Guido Church.
It’s just that Lennok didn’t keep all those moments deeply in his memory.
Lennox smiled as he gently stroked Darby’s hair.
“…I hope next time I can go to the sea for a purpose other than combat. yes?”
[This time, if we go to Machine City Machina, it might be like that.]
Darby said and flicked his tongue.
[From known information, one of the biggest power sources of Machina is said to be seawater power generated in the process of refining seawater.] “Is there an
area defined by the sea within the city?”
[Rather than that, the whole city seems to function more like a huge power plant.]
Lennok had other conversations with Darby, and naturally turned his attention to the spoils obtained from recent events.
“Come to think of it, the machine city ticket. I haven’t tried processing it for a while since I got it.”
Lennok, who took out two artificial biochips near the workbench and put them down, placed Darby in front of them and asked.
“How can you do it?”
A ticket required to enter and exit each area of Machine City.
One ticket from the cartel and one ticket from the agent were obtained to compare two different tickets to find out the rules of a pattern that is updated regularly.
It was a little late to check the tickets sent by Agent Director Greta Witherhild, so the work started now, but with
Darby’s ability, it wouldn’t be difficult to compare two different tickets and find out the difference.
The problem lies in recognizing such a changed part and predicting the pattern that will be updated in the future.
click!!
Darby holding two tickets with both forepaws biting them in her mouth and munching them, sparking the workbench with an electric current.
At the same time as current flowed into the biological chip, the exterior of the chip flashed, and Darby’s tail changed to a different color and fluttered along with it.
The shape of Dabi, who goes back and forth between the spiritual body and the physical body while going back and forth between lightning and freezing brains.
“….”
After acquiring the automatic battle algorithm and awakening the fifth tail, there is a feeling that the change in appearance and fluidity have become much stronger.
Apart from going back and forth between the spiritual body and the materialized state, is the essence that was close to the electric fox changing little by little?
‘At that time, the appearance change. It wasn’t in the form of an attribute.’
The moment he captured Hyman and decided to dispose of him, Darby’s appearance seemed to touch the abyss of the universe, even for a moment.
Although it passed like an illusion for a while, it was undoubtedly one of the horizons of possibility that Dabi could reach.
Is it because he is a spirit born under the strong influence of Lennok’s image of observing the divergence of possibilities?
It is still unknown whether this is a side effect of the sudden increase in power in the process of awakening as Oh Miho.
Even Darby himself can’t control his appearance change yet, but if he awakens to a new tail, he might know what that appearance was.
[Master is finished.]
While Lennok was deep in thought, Darby spit out the bio chip he was holding and held one out to Lennok.
[I figured out the update encryption pattern variables and adjusted the biometric chip’s encryption parameters to match the date.]
“Good job.”
[The details are an area that cannot be guessed or adjusted here right away, so I left them within the line where they can be changed later.
]
Thinking so, Lennok grabbed the biochip and stood up.
Darby naturally jumped onto Lennok’s shoulder as he left after turning off the light in the lab.
[It would be nice if we could go directly to Machine City!!]
“I know what you’re looking forward to, but we won’t be leaving right away.”
Saying that, Lennok checked the message box on his phone and slightly frowned.
“There are a lot of calls…. So many things happened all at once.”
It’s been a while since I met Kaise in the closed area, mediated the power game between the agent and the cartel, and solved the terror case at the Kaijin Shrine.
Apart from the frantic pace of time in the megalopolis, the world outside the city is also spinning rapidly.
[Lapis: We succeeded in finding and preoccupying the fourth lighthouse candidate. When the lighthouse is finished, I think I will be able to restore my new abilities.]
Blue Eye’s lighthouse construction plan sent by the lighthouse keeper. Accordingly, the lighthouse keeper’s supernormal ability was activated.
At the bottom of the message, there was a reply stating the date the lighthouse construction would end and that it was scheduled to participate in a large-scale combined operation on the central front after construction was complete.
“…A large-scale combined operation?”
There was no further explanation, probably because he was concerned about information leakage, but Lennok found the answer in a completely different place.
Another mobile phone he was carrying as Victor’s identity had received a message from the pandemonium broker.
[Hairea: The warlord has been corrupted by the head. All of the enemies, including the generals, were given an order to kill. It looks like a subjugation team will be organized soon, so if you are interested, contact me.]
“Warlords with heads….”
Even though it is an armed group that occupies a significant portion of the central front, Lenok has only encountered it once in person compared to its size and power.
It was also when he went to meet Hirea, who was living in a cathedral in a remote Balkan area, as Victor.
I knew it was a place where I hadn’t heard about it for being active on the central front, but was there an incident that warranted an order to kill all of the generals?
If the word ‘corruption’ is used against the entire warlord, there must be a secret like that.
[Priscilla: Assistant Professor, I haven’t been able to reach you for a few days, so I’m sending you a message. My sister looks a little sick, but she’s doing well. Sooner or later, the mercenary team asked me to tell them that the bodyguards will change instead… … .]
[Felix: Is your health okay after going to the semi-enclosed area? I’m a little worried about your injury. Stella’s hobby is collecting useful medicinal materials, so if you need something, tell me secretly… … .]
In addition, school officials, student agents, and mercenaries had contacted him, but Lennok could not reply to any more messages and left the lab.
[Madame: Wasn’t the reply too late? If you still want to talk about the matter, come to my mansion.]
Madame confirmed that it was time to make an appointment.
Where Kaise’s body was buried and who was in charge of the place.
It was time to hear it directly from her mouth.
