Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 659
Causal Retribution (1)
Under the sky of a machine city where black jade salt and platinum rain mix and scatter.
coo!!
Agents and soldiers moved quickly toward the fallen Hermes.
“Commissioner!!!”
“Commissioner Hermes attempted suicide!! Call a healer right now!!!”
“Wrong. I’m already out of breath… … !!”
The hurriedly running soldiers checked Hermes’ face and shut up as one.
Because the bullet from the revolver fired at the temple penetrated the head and made it into an inexplicable shape.
Healing magic or resuscitation is not a level that can be solved.
A perfect suicide with no hope of anything, as if someone had done something about it.
“this…!!”
The Side Squad agents, who were trembling with a devastated expression, turned their eyes away.
Grabbing Lennok by the collar, who was lying next to Hermes, he pointed the gun at his head.
Clap!
“This traitor baby is !!”
The moment Lennok’s head staggers backwards from the muzzle and the furious agent presses his finger on the trigger.
A silver blade that flashed right in front of him cut off the tip of the muzzle.
visor!!
Realizing that it was an executor’s equipment, the Side Squad agents quickly raised their magical powers.
“leader!!”
“Everyone, don’t move from the spot.”
Chow!!
Meister Narcissa Solmer, who appeared with dozens of enforcers, declared with a cold expression.
Even though he was leaning against his pale complexion while still in a wheelchair, everyone stopped moving at that terrifying force.
“Circumstantial evidence has been found that the culprit of the Meister assassination and city overturn was Hermes.”
“What…!!”
“After collecting and organizing related testimonies and internal circumstances, we plan to arrest all those directly or indirectly involved in the incident and hand them over to trial. Lay down your weapons and respond to the convoy.”
“….”
The Side Squad, which assisted the Ex Machina, and the Mechanized Troops, who followed Hermes and obtained the technology of the old world, have many corners to be stabbed in many ways.
If he was brought to the hospital according to Narcissa’s words, he would definitely share some of the responsibility in the future.
However, at this point when Hermes, who was playing the pivotal role, committed suicide in front of their eyes, even the commanders leading the corps couldn’t make a decision easily.
Should I resist to the end or should I follow the reversed flow?
Narcissa spoke once more as if she had read their thoughts.
“Put down your weapon. I will not speak again.”
Between the air sharply drawn with tension. There is only suffocating silence.
The worry didn’t last long.
Clap!!
With the commanders first laying down their weapons and disarming them, others slowly disarmed and accepted the restraints.
“You made a wise choice.”
At the words of the executor approaching, the commanding officer with both hands handcuffed nodded slowly.
“On the way up, I saw the commander of the 3rd corps dead in a miserable tail.”
“….”
“I don’t know what happened and Commissioner Hermes chose to commit suicide at the end of the plan…I’m not the type to bet on reckless gambles.”
The work was completely ruined when Hermes’ crime was revealed to the world and he himself committed suicide.
The ruined workshop tower and the black jade flame burning the sky are evidence that everything went awry unexpectedly.
At this point, there would be no point in resisting on the side of Hermes.
Everyone knew that they had no choice but to change their attitude according to the changed situation.
Even if he is handed over to trial and suffers losses through judicial transactions, he cannot be killed while resisting on the spot.
Neither justification nor practical interest exist here anymore.
It was impossible to overthrow the Machine City and make the rebellion a success without the power of Hermes and the Ascendant.
The Side Squad, the Mechanized Corps, and several enlisted enforcers who surrounded the body of Hermes were carried out in turn.
According to Narcissa’s order, Hermes’ body is also quickly collected and moved somewhere.
And Narcissa stared blankly at Lennok, who was lying dead beside him.
“Stop watching, get up, Lyman.”
A cold tone escaped from Narcissa’s mouth.
“If you don’t wake up, I’m going to send you back and put you in prison. Or should I call you Ban?”
“…You knew.”
Lennox opened his mouth slightly.
Even until Hermes tried to kill him, Lenok, who had no strength to breathe, had recovered enough to talk in a short time.
Platinum rain that was scattered last as Orochnier perished.
The Ascendant’s will, which even neutralized the black flame that burned the sky, improved Lennok’s condition to some extent.
The movement itself was difficult, but it was enough to wake up and have a conversation.
“Vulcan fastness. It looks like you’ve had enough fun pretending to be a talented craftsman in Makina.”
Narcissa glared coldly at Lennox and said.
“Do you know what the hell you’ve done?”
“…”
Instead of answering, Lennok rose slowly and leaned against the nearby rubble.
Lennok, who took out a cigarette, ignoring the guards pointing their weapons at Narcissa, flicked his hand.
“Is it okay if I smoke one?”
“…Who said you could sit there?”
“hmm?”
Narcissa’s answer was slightly delayed.
Realizing belatedly that he was sitting on a piece of white throne, Lennok smiled.
The pure white throne on which Hermes sat to reopen the gates of ascension.
Did he sense some kind of wariness from seeing Lennok leaning over the fragments of the throne?
Lennok ignored Narcissa’s words and flicked out the embers with a cigarette in his mouth.
“Originally, it would have taken a very long time for that flame to disappear….”
Lennok, who had been silently emitting smoke, muttered and mocked himself.
“I’m not going to get to the worst. I must thank the great transcendental mercy.”
“Redeem.”
At Narcissa’s words, the bailiffs slowly began to approach Lennok.
If he raised his mana even a little, he would have been cut down on the spot.
But Lennok knew that, but instead of running away, he stared blankly at the approaching bailiffs.
“Isabella.”
Lennok smiled when he saw a familiar face among the bailiffs.
“Did the reunion with your boss go well?”
“Sounds nonsense….”
Isabella gritted her teeth as she straightened her tattered uniform.
“Myja Lenslet fled the scene long ago. You are the only one left.”
“….”
“You will have to explain why the Balkan wizard came to Machina, what he did against Hermes, and all other criminal acts he committed.”
“Right….”
Lennok slumped against the fragments of the throne, puffing smoke and thinking.
I think of it every time I look back on the time that has passed since I finished a big job, but the journey I went through in Machine City this time was especially long.
That must be because Machina’s most dangerous secret reached the other side of the already destroyed world.
Hermes’ suicide was finally settled, but not everything was over yet.
It is necessary to collect all the causalities that Lennok obtained in the Machine City and finish checking how far the fragments of the old world extend.
I want to disappear here right now, but… … .
“ruler.”
The executioners shuddered at the sight of Lennok holding out his hands while holding a cigarette.
“Put the handcuffs on. Wasn’t that what you guys wanted?”
“You bastard….”
Lennok grinned as he watched the other bailiff clench his teeth.
“I still have work to do.”
Clap!!
Isabella put Lennok’s hands in handcuffs made of magic blocking metal, and at once lifted Lennok to his feet.
“Unauthorized entry meister of Shim Seong-gwan on the sea wall, kidnapping and assassination of Ex Machina, workshop area and destruction of the tower, and even the massacre of the 3rd mechanized corps. Congrats on being named one of Makina’s worst offenders.”
Isabella said with a stiff face.
“Sentences and prison facilities incomparable to megacities will be waiting for you.”
“Do you know that no one arrested me in the Balkans?”
Lennox laughed at Isabella’s words.
“I didn’t know that Machina would present that lesson. You should definitely add a line to your resume later.”
“…drag it away Keep him in a special prison facility until the military tribunal opens.”
Guided by the rough hands of the enforcers, he walks through the collapsing defense tower.
Flames burning everywhere and the acrid smell of smoke.
Dozens of enforcers and soldiers surround Lennok and guard his movements as he walks down the corpses of the Mechanized Corps and the damaged facility.
Everyone is clearly aware of the fact that Lennok is responsible for the disaster that occurred in the workshop.
The shock of the blockade had all subsided and Lennok removed his handcuffs as he walked helplessly through the quiet streets where martial law had been lifted.
The bailiff didn’t even miss that suspicious gesture and grabbed Lennok’s arm.
At the same time, the soldiers escorting him immediately pointed their guns at Lennok.
“Don’t do anything stupid. What are you hiding?”
“nothing.”
When Lennok said that and obediently spread both hands and showed them, the executioner withdrew reluctantly.
As the armored car to escort the prisoner arrived, Lennok slowly climbed into the carriage.
Around Lennok’s neck, a familiar platinum glow swayed like a necklace.
“….”
A handful of thoughts. It was a vanishing delusion, but Orochnier certainly left something behind for Lennok.
A platinum pendant that exists in the form of a necklace. At first glance, the shape is light, elongated and sharp like a feather.
What does this mean and answer to Orochnier?
That’s something Lennok will have to figure out for himself.
For now, it was enough to reflect on the retains and questions he left behind.
“Let’s go. It moves at full speed.”
Boaaaang!!
The convoy departed, unaware that Lennok’s gaze down the back of his neck had sunk deeply.
* * *
Megacity Balkan District 49.
Behind the alley in the building area where Jenny’s bar is located.
One of the key rendezvous points of Area 49, where various freelancers and mercenaries use it as a place to arrange work.
Now, it is also a place where brokers who simultaneously operate a huge distribution company, one of the top five in the megalopolis, are located.
“그 가격에는 절대로 일 못 해 이 개새끼야!”
“If you twist it, it will go somewhere else. Do you do business for a day or two?”
Wow Jangchang!!
At the moment the negotiations break down, a robot and a bug man kick the table and grab each other by the collar.
“Heh heh…This curse has gone up in price… … “
The curse I put on our manager last time had no effect, so why?!”
A sorcerer holding a crystal ball and laughing gloomily and an office worker protesting unfairly.
“It is an admission right to enter the green belt area designated by the city council. It’s something I got directly from the Druid.”
“Recently, the government’s environmental subsidy has decreased, so has this already started leaking?”
“Just because you live in the woods doesn’t mean that your lust for material things will disappear.”
Even business partners who secretly trade dubious items even at a glance.
The endless conversation, the sound of broken drinks, and the soft music sounding gently mix and turn into chaotic noise.
A woman sits at a counter, tapping her laptop with a serious face, unmoved even in the midst of such chaos.
While sweeping her curly black hair as if annoying, her eyes do not deviate from the monitor screen at all.
Even when customers who can’t stand their anger and punch come out, they just ignore them instead of standing up.
Instead, two people sitting at the bar, tilting their glasses, stood up and grabbed the customers by the shoulders.
“Go out and fight, fools. What are you doing at the bar?”
“This is our area, you assholes! Get off immediately.”
A sturdy man wearing a professional wrestler mask and a woman swearing with a shotgun slung over her shoulder.
“Dee Dylan….”
Upon recognizing that the two were members of the Antares Mercenary Corps, the guests became as docile as docile sheep.
“I had no intention of hurting Jenny. It’s just that this bastard keeps buying me… … .”
“X-bal, then I’m not trying to sell at the market price, are you trying to lose money?”
“It’s done. It’s loud enough without you guys talking, so let’s get out of here.”
Dylan snapped at the two, who could not stand the bird and tried to fight again.
Dylan grabbed the two of them by their collars and pulled them out, throwing them in front of the bar in an instant and returning to their seats.
“Jennyyyy…How long are you going to make me water the bar? I am a mercenary, not a security guard!!”
“These days, security guards also receive separate incentives for this kind of work.”
Dylan frantically shook his head up and down at Mila’s words.
“okay!! That’s right! Even though our office has formally signed a collaboration with them, this kind of unfair treatment is difficult!”
“….”
It was only then that Jenny’s hand tapping on the laptop suddenly stopped.
Jenny glanced back at Dylan with a cold gaze and opened her mouth when she saw the glass he was holding.
“Mac Chickers 300,000 cells.”
“….”
“Black Blood Whiskey 360,000 cells. Flat shield 530,000 cells….”
“Hmmmm.”
“Both of them talk a lot while drinking expensive alcohol like ghosts. yes?”
“haha.”
Jenny sneered at Dylan, who slightly averted her gaze.
“Even if they let you drink for free, if you’re not satisfied, the office will call other mercenaries. Who was that stock idiot?”
“Hehe, that’s what you said, Jenny.”
Dylan, who quickly bent over and rubbed his hands together, laughed like an idiot.
“It’s because Mila is making strange noises. I said nothing. know my heart… … .”
“This traitor bastard is going to get away all alone!!”
Wow Jangchang!!
He tossed the glass that Mila was holding into Dylan’s head.
Dylan also jumped up and kicked the leg of the chair Mila was sitting on.
Mad Manson shook his head pathetically next to the bar, which quickly became a mess.
[Stupids. If you change your head to a robot like me, you won’t be dominated by alcohol.
”
Manson was steadfast even at Jenny’s words that gave him a pathetic look.
[For me, it is not a favorite food like alcohol or nicotine, but it is like bottled water to replenish power.]
“Yes, you just drive a car.”
[…] … .]
Jenny, who had silenced the mad Freelancer with two words, waved at the two bickering mercenaries.
“Stop doing nonsense and come over here. I’m thinking of tweaking your deep web security rating.”
“Oh so am I going to be Platinum now?”
“Fla!!”
Looking at the two mercenaries clinging to the back of the laptop, Jenny pointed to the screen.
“I’m trying to entrust you with a high-level job, so it’s difficult to get orders because the deep web level is low. Felix never said anything?”
“We tend to receive requests under direct control of the office, so there has never been any inconvenience in this regard.”
“A lot of things are handled roughly by our vice-captain.”
“Anyway, if you want to entrust work to the distribution company, you have to clear the security level here. From now on, we will meet the performance requirements you need. okay?”
Dylan and Mila grumbled at Jenny’s stern answer at the same time.
“Jenny, we are not half monsters. The standards are set too high.”
“that’s right. Isn’t performance something you can get from anywhere?”
“You can’t compare a madman who can break through the diamond grade with only his performance in the first place! Where and what is he doing-” [Patrick
Media, Intercontinental Breaking News.]
On the TV hanging above the heads of the three people talking loudly The news started airing.
[The Makina Metropolitan Police Department reported that the ringleader of the large-scale explosion that occurred on the same day was arrested this morning.]
[The culprit of the incident is a half-magician, nicknamed Kyeon-roe in Balkan… … .]
“…!!!”
The moment they heard that name, the three of them completely forgot the conversation they had just had.
At about the same time, everyone in the bar turned to the TV screen.
