Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 660
Causal Retribution (2)
In the middle of Jenny’s pub, the moment becomes quiet.
The announcer continued to report on the screen.
[The Metropolitan Police Department arrested the culprit at the scene and informed them that they were escorting them, and expressed their will to continue the announcement as soon as the trial date is set….]
“Jenny!”
“uh? ah….”
Jenny, who was staring at the screen, quickly came to her senses at Mila’s words.
Jumping up, she looked at the others with a cold gaze and nodded.
“Close the door and let the guests out. Today’s business ends with this.”
“Come on, friends. Did you all hear? Today’s business is over. We will open again when the sun rises, so please leave.”
As soon as the news is confirmed, Dylan finishes business at the bar and drives out the customers, and Mila quickly locks the back door and unplugs the phone.
[I can’t reach Jenny’s cell phone. It seems to be far out of the call range.]
“….”
The news continued while Manson called and inquired about the location of the call center.
[Ex Machina is investigating the damage and specific motive of the explosion… … ]
[It has been confirmed that the Balkan City Council has officially requested cooperation from the Makina leadership.] [The
Balkan City Council communicated through a spokesperson that it will not express any position without clear evidence…]
“As expected, he withdraws his foot. It’s like a city council.”
“Better than needlessly intervening and messing up the situation. First of all, those who need it-”
Bang!!
After kicking in the door of the tavern, Su-ryun walked in wearing an apparel.
An aristocrat from Palgoong Fortress and a high-level military commander who trained in the Unwoldo.
A Changsa who has been doing freelance work at Jenny’s bar since Apostle Walter Martinez was subdued.
Even her face, which is usually not very emotionally fluctuated, still had a surprise that could not be hidden.
“I came to hear the news. Is half okay?”
“Sit down for now.”
Jenny nodded her head in a calm tone.
“I need to check on the situation for a while.”
In an instant, the vast bar was empty and other superhumans, centered around Jenny, grabbed a table and sat around it.
[The information itself that Ban was arrested is being reported simultaneously through various media. First of all, it’s not a misinformation on either side.]
While Jordan was making a simple cocktail, Manson said while fiddling with the robot head.
[There is no reason to point out solidity and use it as an excuse. There is a possibility that the relationship itself exists meaningfully.]
“The black flames that filled the sky of the data screen. I’ve seen it once in the citadel before.”
Su-ryun said in a heavy voice.
“When dealing with the apostles of the church, half of them used a black flame similar to that one.”
“The probability that Van is really going to Makina is very high…Anything else worth noting?”
Jenny, who sat with her chin on her head, asked.
Soo-ryun, who was deep in thought, answered.
“At the time, it seemed that even Van could not properly control the flames. Thanks to that, I had a hard time escaping, so even after finishing the job, I almost burned myself to death.”
“….”
It was different from what I expected, but ironically, the detailed experience makes me realize the existence of Van.
Mila, who had been sitting slumped against her shotgun, opened her mouth.
“Shall we arrange a train to Machina?”
“….”
“If a couple of people are going to secretly infiltrate the machine city, I can rescue them from my line.”
“It’s better to be clear about your purpose.”
Dylan said calmly.
“It’s okay to move right now as long as you’re investigating the situation. But if you’re going to rescue Van… … A more cautious approach will be needed.”
Knowing the reputation of fastness in Makina, there was no way to restrain him poorly.
If Van was really imprisoned in the machine city, the level of alert would not be normal at all.
Among Jenny’s personal connections, it may be necessary to summon the highest-ranking tycoons or the highest-ranking officers of the Antares mercenary corps.
However, Jenny shook her head at Dylan’s suggestion with a calm expression.
“Do you think Dylan Van would die under these circumstances?”
“…Not really.”
“If you move from this side, it’s to confirm Ban’s will. You shouldn’t get in the way by rushing out.”
Jenny, who came to a quick conclusion, immediately nodded to Mila.
“I’ll ask for Mila’s train service. Who is going to investigate the situation… … .”
Jenny looked around at the people sitting around her and nodded.
“Once the training is confirmed. Let’s pick one other person.”
“This woman still doesn’t know much about menstruation in the back alleys of the Balkans, is that okay?”
Soo-ryun cleared her throat at Mila’s plaintive question.
“Hmm, sorry to say that. I lack business knowledge in the shadows, but I am not lazy in my efforts… … .”
“Su-ryun comes from an aristocratic family in Palgoong Fortress. He is the most adept among us in foreign affairs. We need to be prepared in case we need to contact the Machina government. If there’s just one thing… … .”
Jenny muttered that and touched her phone.
As if the news that Gyeon-roe had been arrested had already spread all over the floor, her cell phone was constantly receiving calls and messages.
No matter where you choose to hold hands and move, there are many options.
All Jenny has to do is decide how to act in this situation.
After that, Lennok and the fruits she accumulated will bring them to the end.
However, instead of picking up her phone and making contact right away, Jenny turned her gaze to her back.
she asked Jordan, who was standing quietly by the table.
“Jordan. What do you think?”
“Are you asking for my opinion?”
Dylan nodded happily.
“Since everyone here said a word, I’ll have to listen to Jordan’s story.”
“Well I think….”
said Jordan, lost in thought.
“I think you’d better trust Van a little more.”
At the unexpected topic, the other colleagues present silently blinked their eyes.
“…what?”
“He’s the smartest and most prudent man I’ve ever seen. Do you think that such a person did such a thing in vain?”
Jordan’s calm gaze surveyed the people seated around the table in silence.
“He’s someone who wouldn’t allow his name to be on people’s lips if he didn’t even want it.”
“….”
“There are many hidden parts in Ban’s whereabouts. Similar things have happened a few times, but they have been resolved very quietly.”
Jordan murmured, slightly raising his gaze toward the TV screen.
“Nevertheless, the fact that Ban’s name is spreading in the media in this way is that Ban intended even this situation….”
[I’m going to tell you about the correction report on the breaking news that I just gave you.]
The announcer, looking flustered, quickly poured out his words.
[The Makina Metropolitan Police Department has changed its position that the culprit in the case is not a dog.]
“….”
[Noting that there will be no further notice regarding this incident along with expressing regret for the related reports… … ]
Looking back at the quickly quiet bar, Jordan shrugged.
“Isn’t it because you decided that you could handle this much?”
* * *
“The Metropolitan Police Department was very unhappy.”
Makina Medical District A first-class private ward.
Two enforcers were walking in from behind the white hallway.
Cheek Cheek!!
Dozens of layers of steel barriers opened and closed behind the two of them, isolating the passage.
Each time the ticket is recognized and passed through the barrier, the soldiers standing guard nervously nod their heads.
Strict defense facilities like a fortress.
However, all of these isolation and security measures were confinement facilities designed for the inside, not the outside.
“I don’t seem to understand why such achievements shouldn’t be publicly announced.”
“I don’t mind. They didn’t arrest them themselves, but they said they were trying to be condescending?”
“Because I am in charge of city security externally. Having caught a big game, isn’t it incomprehensible that people are blinded by high achievements?”
“But thanks to the Metropolitan Police Department acting arbitrarily, we got into trouble. Look at that.”
Annoyed, the bailiff turned his gaze through the transparent glass windows in the hallway.
“What are you doing after catching the most dangerous wizard in the megalopolis lately?”
What shines through the window is a special private prison cell with a calm and tidy shape. Its size is vast enough to be compared to a single studio.
A young man lying on a bed that looks comfortable and fluffy at a glance, flipping through a medical examination ticket.
In the intravenous drip inserted into the arm, the sap diluted with the elixir is smoothly supplied, and the air managed through the purifier circulates cleanly without a handful of dust.
Except for the fact that both hands are wearing heavy handcuffs, it is hard to tell whether they are confined criminals or VIPs on a medical tour.
Next to Lennok, more than six doctors were busy roaming around, diligently recording all his movements and conditions.
“This is an extremely valuable opportunity to obtain the biometric data of an extremely high-ranking superman. All focus.”
“I can’t get the horsepower numerical data properly. This is strange.”
“It could be a matter of constitution. Now that the magic blocking metal has been filled, let’s wait a little longer.”
While constantly exchanging opinions, he inserts electrodes and IVs into Lennok’s body and does his best to restore his condition.
“The biological reaction activity is absurdly low. How did this happen?”
“There were rumors that he was seriously injured. It seems to be the aftermath of that.”
“It can’t be. So you mean you slaughtered the 3rd Corps of the Mechanized Corps by yourself with an injured body?”
“So, isn’t it called the great name of the Archmage?”
Doctors who observe and treat Lennok’s condition but never talk to him.
It is an attitude of thoroughly ignoring them and concentrating on them only as subjects of research, as if they were not there.
smart.
The faces of the doctors frowned as they checked the bailiffs knocking on the windows.
“…I think you were promised not to disturb me during the treatment.”
“It was an order to restore his condition in a way that would not interfere with the interrogation.”
The bailiff entered the room and nodded at the doctors.
“I have so many things to talk about with Iza.”
“We haven’t finished measuring the specific figures yet. It will never come again to be able to closely observe the process of recovering the mind and body of a superhuman of the highest rank… … !!”
“Dr. Felton.”
The bailiff wiped his face and called his name.
The bailiff’s eyes were cold as he looked at Felton.
“It is to take responsibility and deal with the disaster that swept across the city.”
“…”
“Please.”
After the doctors left the room one by one reluctantly, Lennok lay down comfortably on the bed as he opened the door and saw the bailiff enter.
“There are rumors that Machina’s bionic technology is at the forefront of continental academia, but it wasn’t a lie.”
“…”
“The service in the medical facility and ward is excellent. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to relax like this.”
“You should remember that all the care you are receiving right now is not a free favor.”
The bailiff said in a firm tone.
“The reason you’re still alive after turning the whole city upside down is-” “It must
be because there are testimonies that I have to hear from my own mouth.”
Lennok interrupted him and replied nonchalantly.
“I know that Hermes’s crimes and the secrets of Ascension Gate, Jin-gun Firedeok and Maiya Lenslet, are not finished.”
“….”
“Since it is an unfinished business, it cannot be overlooked, and there is too much information that needs to be cross-validated, so it will be difficult to handle it carelessly.”
The executioner’s shoulders trembled at the calm wizard’s words.
“Knowing everything from the damn beginning…!!”
“Then did you believe that I would have been arrested willingly to atone for something I did not do?”
Lennok laughed and raised his upper body and leaned against the wall.
Lennok looked over the bailiffs’ shoulders and shrugged.
“I’m sure your superiors won’t be stupid enough to not know that, so they’re going to offer you a deal.”
“…transaction?”
“The military trial against the commanders of the mechanized corps has just ended.”
A chilling voice came from behind the enforcers’ backs.
Narcissa Solmer, in a wheelchair, was watching Lennok with cold eyes.
“The charges against all those involved in Hermes, including the corps commander, have been confirmed.”
“I, Commissioner Narcissa Solmer…!!”
“Did you come alone without a bodyguard?!”
The executioners, who had no sense of presence at all, bowed their heads slightly towards her in surprise.
Narcissa nodded her head without looking back at the two of them.
“I’ll talk to you myself, so stay out for a while. Explain the situation well to the doctors.”
“…All right.”
As soon as the bailiffs had gone without saying anything, she said.
“As the three Ex Machina factions are evenly intertwined, it will have a great influence on the situation of the city leaders. Perhaps even the position of governor will be replaced en masse.”
“so?”
“We need your testimony from the scene to make things clear.”
Narcissa said with a faint frown as if disapproving.
“Since you are the only person involved in this incident who watched from the beginning to the end, your presence alone is the same as testimony to the case.”
“Just keep it simple. What do you want?”
“…Submit as evidence the details and location of Maya Lenslit’s contact with the Ascendant of the Old World, the full conversation with Hermes.”
Narcissa’s eyes shone sharply as she looked at Lennok.
“Then I’ll clear you of the charges against you for this one time only, and let Lyman’s identity be maintained in a different way.”
“….”
Ascendant of the old world.
After all, does Narcissa Solmer also know what Hermes was trying to do and how far it went?
However, judging from the situation, it seemed that he was still not sure whether the Ascendant from the old world had really descended into this world.
Is this a deal presented to Lennok in order to clarify that fact and post-war processing?
“If you accept, your charges will be classified as subject to judicial transactions at the military tribunal, and your sentence will be commuted without additional procedures.”
Instead of responding, Lennok raised his head and stared blankly at Narcissa.
Lennok, who was silently looking at Narcissa’s expressionless face, said.
“You also have no intention of killing me.”
“…what?”
“At the point where this happened, I thought that they might sentence me to death or treat me somewhat harshly, but…You are much more careful than you think.”
Lennok asked, observing Narcissa’s reaction as quickly as he spoke.
“A decision from the leadership? no A backlash from a lower armed group? Not even… … It is not a matter of the relics of the Crown of Simseong or the Gate of Ascension.”
Lennok’s eyes shone sharply.
“There is still something I don’t know about in Machine City. yes?”
“….”
It was only then that Narcissa, realizing that Lennok was checking her reaction in real time and interrogating her instead of interrogating her, let out a sigh.
“…That’s amazing. Do you mean that you have been acting as a gentle craftsman with this kind of temperament?”
Narcissa, who had visited Lyman’s studio to test his talent, seemed to feel uncomfortable with Lennok’s reaction.
Lennok laughed at Narcissa’s words and lay down on the bed again.
“I can show the talent I showed then again. Do I need it even now?”
Lennok’s mouth opened immediately after skimming up and down the haggard appearance of Narcissa.
“I haven’t slept very well for three days. I think I went to the beach on the way, but it seems that I went in and out of the sea barrier. Is the recovery of the collapsed Crown of Mind coming to an end?”
“…”
“Your nutrition seems to be fine, considering that you have been lying down for a long time. You are artificially managing your condition. Is it the ability of that wheelchair? I guess the reason I don’t bring bodyguards is because I trust the equipment.”
Lennok’s gaze moved to the wheelchair Narcissa was riding in.
“The size and spacing of parts do not match your body type and hand size. It’s not something you made or made for you. Nevertheless, considering the excellent finish, it is probably Hwadeok Jingun… … .”
“stop!!”
Narcissa interrupted Lennok in a strong tone.
Lennok shut his mouth and stepped back, and Narcissa twisted her mouth with a sharp expression.
“…In that short time, you have already surpassed the keen eye that a craftsman should have. What do you want?”
“Narcissa Solmer.”
Lennok laughed.
“I am negotiating terms because I want to know that.”
“….”
The silent Narcissa slowly turned the wheelchair around.
“The trial will be held again within 12 hours. Until you come back, don’t even think about stepping out of this prison cell.”
Standing in front of the hospital room door, she said in a calmer voice.
“Because all of Machina’s elite soldiers are looking for you alone.”
Narcissa left the room without waiting for an answer.
The waiting bailiffs also glanced back at Lennok and quickly disappeared.
While the handcuffs were on his wrists, the doctors came back and began to check Lennok’s condition.
The effect of the sap provided in this hospital room was much better than expected, and it was helping Lennok recover from fatigue.
It was not a bad decision to risk a brief restraint and entrust your personal affairs.
Thanks to that, Lennok seemed to be able to think about the purpose he had previously put off.
“Twelve hours until the military tribunal opens….”
Even at this point when Machine City was half-destroyed, there is a secret that has not yet been revealed, and it is restraining Lennok from being treated carelessly at this point.
A secret so important that even the seasoned Meister Narcissa couldn’t hide its loophole, yet Lennok didn’t know about it.
If such a secret exists, wouldn’t it be because it is also related to the traces of Kaise that Lennok has yet to find?
Originally, I was planning to meet the conditions of a legal transaction against the Ex Machina leadership while taking moderate care, but… … .
“As expected, it’s hard to know without checking for yourself.”
The moment Lennok muttered and snapped his fingers, the busy doctors collapsed like puppets with a broken thread.
Beep beep… … !!
After removing the electrodes and intravenous drips stuck to his body, Lennok stood up from the bed and stood in front of the prison cell wearing a hospital gown and handcuffs.
Only the disconnected medical equipment vibrates and emits only irregular noises.
[Completed reproduction of 48% of the three-dimensional design of the special prison facility. Acquisition of Doctor Pass. Opening of prison cell.]
Drizzle!!
“What!!”
A soldier who was standing guard hurriedly lifted his communicator and ran towards him with a gun pointed at him.
“I’m feeling a little stiff, so I’m going to go for a short walk and come back. Is that okay?”
Looking at him, Lennok slowly drooped his shoulders and began to warm up.
“You’ll have to tell me it’s okay.”
