Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 634
Shim Seong-gwan on the sea wall (3)
Rumbling!!
On top of a huge conveyor belt that constantly moves.
The width of the belt to the left and right is more than ten meters, and you can see all sorts of objects moving on top of it.
Lennok, who had been slumped on his belt and gazing blankly at the passing scenery, slowly stood up.
Lennok’s eyes, which had regained focus, shone brightly.
‘In terms of body time, only about 5 seconds have passed. It wasn’t that I couldn’t come to my senses.’
High-ranking magicians who have reached the stage can accurately measure time even when completely unconscious.
Although the concept of time is relative, it is because you can calculate how much time has passed by setting some of your biological reactions as reference points.
It wasn’t that Lennok lost consciousness and fell onto this conveyor belt as soon as he opened the sea barrier.
At the point of entering the barrier, it was just collapsed as if it had drifted in this space in the blink of an eye, as if time had passed for a long time.
click!!
I grabbed an unknown handgun that was moving along with Lennok on a conveyor belt.
‘Magic power is faintly leaking out, but the magazine is crushed and the muzzle is folded. impossible to recover. It’s a completely broken thing.’
And that’s not all.
Most of the other equipment and items placed on the conveyor belt are defective, even if they look plausible on the outside.
Occasionally, it’s not that there aren’t any good items, but other stolen items that fall off the belt are also in poor condition.
coo!!
Lennok turned his head at the roar of something falling from the back of the conveyor belt, and inadvertently smiled bitterly.
It was because I could see the shape of the probe stuck upside down at an angle in the mountain of stolen goods and broken equipment items.
Lennok immediately walked over to check the condition of the probe.
“The wear of the Arma Delta alloy is less than expected. I think I can ride one more time… … .”
I thought of an escape method from the time I entered the sea barrier, but if the probe is in good shape, there is no reason to take the risk.
Lennok thought so and immediately shrunk the shape of the probe and kept it in his arms.
Taking the form of the probe, Lennok got off the conveyor belt and slowly looked around.
“Um….”
A huge glass cavity whose size is difficult to ascertain.
Unknown objects continue to pour out beyond the conveyor belt that continues to the end of the cavity.
Through the transparent glass window, you can see the transparent sea of pale blue light and the forest with thick palm trees and all kinds of trees.
The paradise of magic engineering. The heart of Machina, which is said to be the essence of mechanical civilization.
Among them, the scenery inside the sea barrier, which is called the core area of the most core, was surprisingly a place that seemed to have nothing to do with magic engineering more than anything else.
At first glance, it seems that the natural scenery has been preserved without any intervention or action.
To find Simseonggwan, you will have to go backwards in the direction the conveyor belt is moving.
Wheein!!
Reversing the restless belt, Lennok reversed the cavity, but was soon blocked in front of a huge glass barrier.
Notification appeared as magical text in front of a solid glass barrier.
[44B area. On the same day, it is closed and then incinerated.]
[People in charge stand by the site until further instructions.]
“Closed….”
Come to think of it, right after Lennok entered this space, he heard a voice telling him to close the area.
I passed it over, but did that in itself mean that I would not allow anyone to go beyond this space?
The conveyor belt continues to move, but the barrier closes and no more objects or items enter it.
As Lennok brooded over that fact, he suddenly felt the air inside the glass bowl heat up.
Roaring!!
The white flames soared from under my feet in an instant, engulfing and engulfing the treasures piled up like mountains everywhere.
The appearance of various items and stolen goods melting everywhere in an instant due to the enormous heat.
Even Lennok’s firepower is so hot that it’s difficult to sustain it for long without a shield.
Lennok, frowning slightly, immediately flashed out of the glass cavity.
Parbat!!
Currently, Lennok is located in the outermost jungle of this huge island.
As if crossing the middle of the jungle, a curved glass-hole passage rotates around the island.
To get to the center of the island, you’ll have to follow the glass passage that winds like a snake, but… … .
Lennok took a quick step back and jumped into the sea on the outskirts of the island.
click!!
Lennok looked at the seawater that rose below his waist and the gently rippling waves, then put his hand under the sea.
Lennok opened his mouth after picking up some wet grains of sand from the bottom of the sea.
“Dabi. Can you see this?”
[yes. You just have to calculate the curvature, right?]
Darby said, immediately understanding Lennok’s words.
[42 grains of sand the master is holding in his hand. Everyone is a perfect sphere.]
“As expected. The natural environment itself was elaborately implemented, but I didn’t pay attention to the features under the sea.”
Lennok murmured as he washed away the sand with seawater.
“This is a thoroughly artificially designed model garden. The sand, the sea, the glass cavity, and even the conveyor belt we are standing in are a space created with magical engineering.”
As Lennok stepped out of the sea, he lightly brushed off his coat, and the seawater and salt clinging to him disappeared as if they had been washed away.
Lennok, who tidied up his entire body with a single gesture, looked at the shape of the huge forest spreading out in front of him.
“There must be a reason that it is a space that is close to the most primitive nature created using advanced magical engineering technology… … .”
Instead of going back into the glass cavity, Lennok began walking barefoot through the thick woods outside the cavity.
Whoop!!
The stuffy air rushes in as soon as you enter the forest.
It wouldn’t be strange if a normal human didn’t last long and collapsed from dehydration.
However, Lennok concentrated his mind not to miss the changes in the surrounding environment while protecting himself with various magics.
‘Considering the location of Penterect, there is no doubt that Teremer’s end is here. but….’
Why does Simseonggwan, which is supposed to store precious relics of the old world, take on the shape of an uninhabited island?
It is difficult to know the specific reason, but there is no doubt that they at least have a reason to artificially create this environment.
Lenok, who was constantly running his magic sensor so as not to miss any scenery around him, found something suspicious nearby.
[Master?]
“Between the tree stumps this way. The roots are strangely twisted.”
An empty lot made by forcibly removing roots. there is something hidden
Pumpkin!!
Lennok, who had dug up the ground using common magic, looked down at the feeling of something being caught.
“Skull? No, rather than a skeleton… … .”
Lennok’s expression changed strangely as he carefully picked it up with his gloved hand.
It looked like a human skull, but if you look closely, it was the skeleton of a completely different creature.
There are three horns above the forehead, one nostril, and five skeletal joints below the chin.
I don’t know, but when I was alive, it must have been the shape of a monster with a mouth split into four parts.
However, Darby denied Lennok’s words on the spot.
[If the creature’s oral skeleton had been attached in this way, the jaw would have been ground every time it ate.]
“So it’s not the skull of a real creature.”
Indeed, as Darby said, even though the strength of the skull itself was not very strong, there were almost no signs of wear from rubbing against each other.
All that remains are traces worn away by the flow of time and dust.
Lennok, who had been standing there for a moment thoughtfully, murmured.
“It’s okay to think backwards. What if these creatures existed and the skulls were not left behind, but what if we tried to reproduce these creatures by making skulls?”
[Are you assuming that even this skull is a trace of artificial experimentation?]
“If the failure of the Ascension Gate is connected to the Old World, then this must also be a failure created in the process of recalling the memories of the Old World… … .”
After saying that, Lennok put down his skull and stood up with a wry smile.
“Now I think I know what Machine City wanted to build the Gate of Ascension. And why they failed.”
[…] … .]
Tap!!
While he was lost in thought, the sound of footsteps in the distance turned Lennok’s gaze.
There are two signs that can be captured by Magic Sensing. Judging by the active life response and high magical condensation, he is a skilled physical person.
Lennok’s figure faded on the spot, and at the same time someone broke through the bushes.
“Whoa….”
Two men carrying heavy sacks stained with blood.
Seeing as he is wearing a metal suit that hides his face and has epaulettes on his shoulders, it seems clear that he is an executive-level student.
What is impressive is that the entire body of the two soldiers is full of dust and their gestures look quite tired.
The soldiers looked around moderately, put down the sacks they were carrying, and started exchanging conversations while catching their breath.
“How much time has passed?”
“I don’t know either.”
Another soldier answered, taking out the contents of the sack and tossing it to the ground.
Bone fragments of the same bizarre and unique shape as the one Lennok found among the piles of dirt earlier.
“As long as you stay here inside the seawall, your sense of time is completely ruined.”
“I heard that the interception system was activated outside the barrier. If something happens, we might have to stay here longer.”
“…don’t talk nonsense The deep-sea fish-like monsters must have driven their heads into the barrier again.”
“They said it was the highest level alert. It seems that the other units are also talking a little bit.”
“…The highest level alert?”
At that, the other soldier’s voice changed to trembling.
“It wasn’t a story I wanted to hear very much.”
“Still, I feel like I worked non-stop for a few days, but the cycle finally came to an end.”
“I wish I could…” … .”
The moment the soldier let out a deep sigh and put his hand on the ground to collect the bone fragments and bury them, his voice changed dramatically.
“Hey, have you ever been here alone?”
“what?”
“The evenness of the ground is much more uniform than I remember. It seems that someone dug it up once.”
“…no.”
The two soldiers facing each other quickly grasped the situation and jumped to their feet.
Without saying a word, one takes out the communicator and the other puts his hand on his waist.
The moment when magic power boiled through the metal suit and magic power flashed from the waist.
dismissal… … !!
A ray of lightning flashed through the bushes and penetrated both of their temples at the same time.
“Kkeuk…!!”
Darby’s cybernetic interference command mixed into the electric shock works a step later.
On the spot, the front of the suit opened wide and spat out the two fainting soldiers.
After checking the faces and personalities of the fainted soldiers, Lennok quickly finished copying the magical patterns and tickets, and pushed himself into the metal suit.
click!!
[Pattern code recognition completed.]
[Mechanized Corps 3rd Corps Special Job Group Lieutenant Eric Frausch.]
Wearing the suit and injecting Eric’s magic pattern as it is, the suit recognizes its owner and moves.
It is used to help by calibrating Lennok’s movement itself in real time. It must be high-end equipment designed to help in battle.
However, because it was customized to fit Eric’s body, a slight sense of difference was unavoidable.
As the two soldiers walked through the forest following the traces of the magical power they had passed through, they soon began to see another glass cavity.
[13F]
Beep!!
When I put Eric’s ticket, which I had copied in advance, on the common wall, the door opened easily.
Compared to Area 44B, where Lennok woke up, the number is quite close to the center.
This was what Hazami and Lennok thought when they found the grotesque skull.
A skull mimicking the traces of a creature. Considering the relationship between the Gate of Ascension and the Hall of Mind, it is undoubtedly a trace of trying to imitate the fossils or living things of the Old World.
Unlike the stole items in Area 44B, which contained little magic but were of lesser value, the data on the creatures of the Old World are of high research value.
If so, it was clear that it must be handled in an area or place that is as important as that.
Entering the glass cavity in Area 13F, Lenok and several other soldiers in metal suits were busy moving around.
The other soldiers who recognized Lennok in an instant and spoke to him.
“Eric. Didn’t you go out with Justin?”
“Justin was taken to another area right after the conservation work was done on site.”
Lennok replied without batting an eye.
“They asked for help in recovering the remains that were not disposed of during the incineration process in Area 44B.”
“…Area 44B? Were there still officials on that side?”
“….”
The other soldiers looked at each other in a slightly stiff atmosphere, but Lennok thought his lies had a good chance of working.
A message requesting cooperation from the people involved right before the 44B area was closed.
It was because he was convinced that he would never issue meaningless orders in the most secret and secret area of the Machine City.
Sure enough, someone checked the line in that moment, and said in a slightly softened voice.
“It is true that an order has been issued regarding the closure of area 44B and a request for cooperation in incineration. It seems that the action was taken temporarily without reporting on the spot.”
“Whoa…I want you to stop using this side’s manpower at will.”
“I can’t help it, so I move first. Eric, you too.”
The other soldiers all started going upside down on the conveyor belt inside the glass cavity.
Lennok casually followed them and asked.
“Where are you going?”
“An order has been issued from above. All the personnel in charge of the biological and livestock departments at Simseonggwan were told to gather in the center.”
One of the soldiers said in a hard voice.
“We go to the most dangerous unexplored area even inside the seawall. Even if you hear something, be very careful not to remember it and never say it out of your mouth.”
As I followed the other soldiers up the conveyor belt, I could feel the surrounding facilities and scenery changing as I approached the center.
Traces of stray objects and items that were randomly scattered disappear and the surroundings of the conveyor belt, which constantly moves, become cleaner.
Other soldiers who can be seen everywhere walk around the belt, categorize the spilled items, and send equipment or items of low value to the belt as they are.
As you go backwards through the glass cavity, the width of the cavity increases and the concentration of magical power you feel changes intensely.
And I started to see people leading other soldiers one by one from the center of the common area.
Leaders meeting for the first time in this joint.
The moment Lennok raised his mana sensor and focused his mind, he realized their identity and pulled his mana with a surprised expression.
“…Meister?”
Meister, who served as a judge at the selection ceremony and evaluated the results of Lenok and other artisans.
Surprisingly, craftsmen who had passed various qualifications and verifications long ago and reached the level were gathered inside this seawall.
Although he is wearing an unknown suit, its presence and unique magic still remain in Lennok’s memory.
The moment Lennok carefully observed the Meisters and followed them all the way down the passage of the huge glass cavity.
We arrived at a huge lake located at the end of the basement.
‘This….’
A lake does not exist in a huge cavity.
The entire space stretching from the end of the corridor is in the form of a lake made up of a huge water surface.
However, even though the meisters were walking on the surface of the lake, only faint ripples occurred on it, and they did not sink to the bottom of the lake.
Naturally, Lennok, who floated slightly with his floating magic, looked at the bottom of the lake and realized that the inside was not completely transparent, and his eyes lit up.
At first glance, all kinds of equipment and parts were being reflected under the water surface of a beautiful lake that melted like transparent glass.
At the bottom of what looks like a huge glass lake, various equipment that Lennok remembers are floating.
Relics of the Old World that were confirmed at the selection ceremony. Could this be the warehouse where the supreme treasures, called Simseonggwan, are gathered?
Meisters, who seemed not to be interested in the surrounding scenery, seemed unable to take their eyes off the shiny equipment at the bottom of the lake.
At that moment, the voice calling them from the other side of the lake was heard again.
“You are late. I waited a bit.”
The Meisters, startled by the indifferent respect, suddenly lifted their heads.
“That’s my point, Hermes.”
Meister, who was in the lead among them, slowly took off his suit helmet with both hands, revealing his bare face.
Profit… … !!
“Too sooner than expected. Didn’t you say that the gathering again would be the day of the city division transfer assignment?”
“….”
At those words, someone slowly walked out from the other side of the fog-enveloped lake.
The figure of a young man with dazzling silver long hair hanging down to his waist.
The face of the man wearing a white uniform and staring at us with an expressionless face was so clean that it felt inorganic.
A huge circular ring rose solidly behind the man’s back.
Dozens of large and small rings overlap each other, rotating in different directions and emitting light.
Hermes put a ring of dazzling light behind his back and smiled with his hands behind his back.
“sorry. Because there was something I had to try before the door closed.”
“Is it something to experiment with?”
“yes. The supply and demand of decomposition resources and the securing of stolen goods for this quarter have been completed. All that remains is to identify and discard the verified creatures of the Old World.”
At the same time as he said that, Hermes’ white eyes lightly passed between the Meisters.
Looking around the empty space, I stare transparently at the other side of the calm white lake.
Hermes, who was silent for a moment, opened his mouth, as if trying to observe the reaction of someone invisible here.
“But, by any chance, would you like to see a real human being, and not some non-existent domestic animal or some lurid creature?”
“…what?”
“If what we bring out from beyond this door is literally a toy from a broken world, wouldn’t humans like us exist beyond that?”
Hermes smiled brightly with an innocent face.
“It was unexpected, but here today…I’m trying to load the new slayer of the old world. Will you cooperate?”
