Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 665
Causation and Retribution (7)
[Therefore, all of the 27 special felony charges submitted to the defendant are acquitted.]
Tiring!!
A military tribunal covered in dark wood.
At the same time as the judge’s sentence, a bell rings signaling the end of the trial.
While Lennok, who was standing on the defendant’s stand with his hands tied, shrugged, someone sitting behind Lennok’s back lunged at him.
“Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
The superman, dressed in a prison uniform like Lennok and with both hands tied, screamed and threw himself at him.
The officers standing by overpowered the riotous prisoner and pressed his head to the floor.
“Stay still!!”
“What are you doing!!”
“Fuck why are you innocent!!!”
One of the soldiers of the Mechanized Corps was screaming as he glared at Lennok with bloodshot eyes.
Among them, he was one of the very few superhumans sentenced to death after being seriously charged with the crime of human sacrifice.
“You killed all my comrades…!! Why does this monster bastard have to live as normal?!”
“Put a gag on his mouth!!”
“Take them to solitary confinement immediately!”
The police officers surrounding the prisoner rushed out, and only the lawyer and the witness judge remained.
“Thank you for your sincere cooperation in responding to the legal transaction.”
The judge cleared his throat as he looked at Lennok.
“I’m sorry I can’t formally congratulate you, but I’m glad things went smoothly.”
“….”
“As recommended by Ex Machina, your status as Lyman will be protected, and the workshops assigned to the higher-level workshops will be maintained.”
“understood.”
“There will be no retrieving of the belongings or income obtained as Lyman. This was determined through consensus among all members of Ex Machina.”
It means that the identities of Ban and Lyman will be unofficially acknowledged and tolerated in the Machine City.
In fact, for Lennok, it is the first dual status recognized by others.
As Lennox nodded, the handcuffs on his hands loosened and he fell to his feet.
click!!
Seeing Lennok looking around as he kneaded his wrists, the presiding judge suddenly felt tense.
The fastness of megacities. Because there was no one who did not know how bloody the mage’s reputation as being the most dangerous in the shadows was.
ㅣIt is a monster that single-handedly trampled the 3rd Corps of the Regimental Corps and killed nearly half of the Side Squad agents alone.
Didn’t they confirm the fact that the armed forces and hands that had only been heard about by rumors were never left behind by imagination, changing parts of the Makina armed forces?
Although he accepted the deal with a strange degree of composure, he was a dangerous molecule who was not strange no matter what he did at any time.
However, the magician’s power and information were so important that even an Ex Machina could not treat them carelessly.
But Lennok had, from the start, somewhat expected that things would turn out this way.
Narcissa Solmer, no one else, knew that Lennok had solved this situation by antagonizing Hermes.
Despite pressuring him with various words and offering him a deal, she had no intention of hurting or killing Lennok from the start.
It was just that he needed an appropriate justification and excuse to compensate and indemnify Lennok for his mistakes in an appropriate way.
And what put the last piece together was the existence of a former enforcer who had been banished from this city a long time ago.
“….”
He turns his back to the enforcer and various superhumans who are watching Lennok’s actions with a nervous look.
Lennok, who was about to walk out of the courtroom without a word, stopped in front of the door as if thinking of something and turned around.
Ignoring the vigilant people flinching from all sides, Lennok opened his mouth.
“I want to check one last thing.”
“What is it?”
“Mouser Blofeld. Can you put the same disclaimer on them as I did?”
“….”
The judges nodded after making eye contact with a somewhat relieved look.
“As Master Blofeld is a disciple of Jingun Hwadeok, there will be no major punishment or discipline.”
“I am only staying in the Workshop District on my own volition, so considering Commissioner Solmer, it wouldn’t be strange to come up to the council right away.”
Lennok nodded.
“That is enough.”
“You’re putting more unique conditions than I thought. If you still have the intention to work as an artisan… … .”
thud!!
Without hearing an answer, Lennok walked out of the courtroom.
Standing in front of the judge’s door, where the cool morning air lingered, Lenoch exhaled slowly.
“Whoa….”
The scenery of the mechanical city where the uproar was caused by Hermes’ forced relocation.
However, in a few days, almost all of the traces and ruins have been repaired and are returning to a normal city.
Machine city Makina, where the entire city is separated by huge mechanical barriers and compartments.
Once the system is distorted, it is easy to break down and collapse, but on the contrary, it is also easy to repair and restore the broken part.
“Mouser….”
[Shall we find the coordinates of that plump organism?]
Lennok, lost in thought at Darby’s words, smiled and shook his head.
“No, I’ll be fine with this right now. It’s not like I can’t come back anyway.”
As long as he maintains his status as Lyman under the authority of Ex Machina, he can visit Machina again whenever he wants.
Responding to the judicial deal proposed by Narcissa Solmer, Lennok testified about Hermes’ plans and how he ended up committing suicide due to failure.
It was possible to receive recognition for the status of a craftsman, the ownership of a workshop, and earned income.
Of course, if he knew what items Lenok had acquired in this city, he would have had to change his mind, but it was useless because the process was left unresolved.
“Let’s go back to the Balkans. I guess I should contact Jenny first.”
Although it was treated as a misinformation by the media, the news that Lennok was captured in Makina was leaked, so Jenny must know this too.
It is necessary to make a contact saying that he is going back after solving the work properly.
I picked up my cell phone, which I had turned off, and rummaged through the message box before boarding a nearby transport.
Even when he first entered the machine city, Lennok’s ticket, which was difficult to come and go in a single block, was upgraded to an authority comparable to that of Ex Machina through a series of events.
[Welcome, Artisan Lyman.]
[All transportation in Machina is provided free of charge for talented artisans.]
[Please use all public facilities in the city for the talents of artisans freely!]
As soon as Lennok boarded, his name was called. A flashy effect rang out, and the other citizens in the spacious vehicle all looked at Lenok in unison.
“….”
Perhaps releasing Lennok right in front of the judge was a high-level ploy for this.
Lennok, who returned to the outskirts of the city with his head bowed, found the train station and took the ticket off his wrist.
“The train to the Balkans….”
[It arrives in 10 minutes.]
“Still, I’m glad I didn’t get into trouble with the organ dealers like I did when I came.”
As I dealt with all sorts of criminals before arriving at Machine City, I also want to go back a little more comfortably.
As long as the condition is not fully restored, it is better to go back quietly without getting caught up in an incident-
“….”
Thinking so, Lennok raised his head, realizing that the train station that had just been buzzing had become quiet.
In the middle of a quiet station where people have completely retreated, as if someone intended it.
On the other side of the railroad, in front of the waiting room heading in the opposite direction, someone was sitting quietly looking at Lennok
.
Even though there is no sign of it, the eerie atmosphere seems to spill over to the other side of the railroad.
After checking her face, Lennok smiled bitterly and tilted his head back.
“okay. Did you still have work to do?”
Maya Lenslet.
The best enforcer of Machine City and now the worst outcast criminal.
An 8th-level superpower who helped Lennok throw the entire machine city into chaos and took time against the enforcement agencies.
She, who had thought she had left the city after the incident, was still waiting for Lennok.
“I didn’t know you would offer a judicial deal to free me.”
asked Lennok, who took out a cigarette and lit it while biting it.
“What did you offer in return?”
“There were some businesses that I couldn’t take over when I was expelled from the position of executive officer.”
Maya answered quietly, sitting cross-legged.
“It was in exchange for handing over some of the authority of an important military installation that was under construction at the time and some secrets left by the city founders.”
“….”
“It’s not a big deal, but the Ex Machina has a value that can’t be converted into money, and it’s related to the benefits of the war hammer, so Narcissa couldn’t be overlooked.”
“If you had that many cards in your hand, why didn’t you use them for yourself?”
“The charges against me cannot be cleared away through judicial transactions.”
Maya laughed softly.
“More than 800 billion cells of property destroyed and more than 80,000 casualties. Because my name is on the last list of all casualties related to it.”
“…There are many. Did you take up genocide as a hobby while serving as bailiff?”
While Lennok was at a loss for words at the shame beyond his imagination, Maya nodded.
“It’s all about the people and assets that were lost to the void through the failure of the Ascension Gate plan.”
“….”
“As in the past and now, what I want is not different.”
Slowly, Maya rose from her seat and gazed at Lennok, who was sitting on the other side of the railroad, with a cold gaze.
“To undo all the mistakes and responsibilities sacrificed for the failure of the Ascension Gate. Until it is over, I will not return to this city.”
“Return it back to how it was.”
Lennok laughed.
“You know how absurd that promise is, right?”
What Maya says isn’t that complicated or profound.
The former bailiff Lennok knew was intuitive, straightforward, and just as sharp and sharp.
What Maya Lenslit always wanted was the same, and she never hid that fact.
It was only at this point, when Lennok understood all the secrets of the Ascension Gate, that he could understand its meaning.
Maiya is not trying to fix the failure of Ascension Gate in her own way.
She is literally trying to undo the failure of the Ascension Gate plan.
Tens of thousands of people and vast assets used for human sacrifice for the Ascension Gate project.
The miracle of causal retrograde bringing it out beyond the already determined result.
“Souls sacrificed through human sacrifice never return. Knowing that, but trying to undo the karma that was once decided… … .”
Lennok murmured, puffing on the tobacco.
“Of all the wishes a monster like you could have, this is the most absurd and futile.”
However, because of that wish, Maya Lenslet bowed her head and joined Pandaemonium.
The leader who transcended the world once and found the answer.
The existence of a doctor who knows more about the failure of the Gate of Ascension, including human sacrifice, than anyone else.
If Maiya wanted to revive the sacrificed victims, the pandemonium would be the closest organization to that method.
And because of that, Lennok could understand why, at this point, Maya brought up the story again.
The reason why Maya, who should have left this city immediately to avoid being pursued, was waiting for Lennok even while saving him through a legal transaction.
“Come into Pandaemonium, Ban.”
Maya said quietly.
“Your talent and experience will surely satisfy the standards of the leader. It won’t be difficult to join.”
Lennok didn’t answer, and brushed off the tobacco in silence.
Maya watched Lennok’s reaction closely and continued.
“If you’ve seen the memories through the door, you’d know, but what he wants is a feat no one in this world has ever attempted. To be precise, it is the process of realizing the impossible and creating new possibilities that do not exist.”
The other side of the station where the cold wind blows. Mya’s low voice echoed clearly as if whispering in my ear.
“It is a monster that has already accomplished the feat once while challenging an irresistible miracle. and i… … I don’t think he’s wrong.”
“So you’re saying you’re willing to introduce a special talent instead of the leader?”
“In Pandaemonium, there are many monsters with special and more powerful talents than me. And even such people are chasing miracles that cannot be under the leadership of the leader.”
Maya helped herself.
“Because no matter what you wish for or reject, you will long for only one value in the end.”
“….”
“No matter where your goals and desires lie, this organization will be able to answer you. The more you want something different and special, the more you will find him in the end.”
Maya’s words were quiet and calm, but all of them exquisitely touched the essence.
The essence of Pandemonium in finding special talent. The more you want something different from others, the more demonic you are attracted to them.
None of those words are wrong. Lennok also felt the same way as Maya and moved in the same direction as her.
How many more people would be as reliable a method as Pandemonium for Maya, who has the hope of reversing the human sacrifice deal?
What Maya thinks of the leader and what she feels about the value of this organization is almost tangible.
And that’s probably because Lennok is already dipping his toes under that value to some extent.
That’s why Lennok couldn’t accept Maya’s proposal right here.
Because Lennok had already stepped deep into the center of Pandemonium under the other name of Victor.
“I’ve heard similar stories from warlocks and war mercenaries a few times.”
Lennok, who chose the right answer in a way that was different from Victor’s and only half could give, opened his mouth.
Lennok, who leaned back in his chair with a calm gaze, met Maya’s gaze and said.
“I have already answered their suggestions. I hope this is a sufficient answer.”
“…is it.”
Warlocks and War Mercenaries.
Although she said it around, Maya immediately realized who the words were referring to and smiled.
If the two people, Myeongwang and Croken, had recommended Lennok, and half hadn’t entered Pandaemonium yet.
It is unlikely that the answer will change even after seeing the leader’s memories.
Understanding that Lennok had retconned it, Maya nodded and slowly rose from her seat.
Looking at her back, who was about to disappear without a word of comment, Lennok asked as if he had just remembered.
“In the military tribunal, my crimes and charges were dealt with as a judicial transaction, but your criminal records only increased.”
“….”
“Would it be okay if you were practically not responsible for this incident?”
“…A body designated as an outcast. It won’t change anything if you come and take on a few more felonies.”
Maya responded as if helping herself.
At the same time, her body was engulfed in the mist of the train station, slowly blurring.
“Claim, resent, hate, hate…If only you would remember me like that.”
“….”
“For some, even that is the driving force for living. yes?”
“…well.”
Lennok smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“I don’t know.”
Is it okay if even the hatred towards oneself becomes a driving force for this city?
Love and hate beyond devotion. What made that cruel, callous executor cherish this city so much?
There was no time to ponder and ask questions.
Instead of clinging to Maya’s disappearance, Lennok quietly looked away.
I stood up from my seat watching the lights of the approaching train through the fog.
It was finally time to return to the metropolis.
Lennok murmured as he leaned his shoulder against the lamppost and waited for the incoming train.
“Even if I go back to the Balkans, there are so many things to do….”
As the journey spent in the machine city was long, the meaning and harvest obtained are considerable.
Even if I go back to the lab right away and stay away for a full month, I feel like I don’t have enough time.
Lennok smiled as he waited for the train and thought about what he would do next.
“Should we start with the most interesting thing first?”
[…] … Is this interesting?]
Leaving Darby bewildered, Lennok thrust his hand into his arms.
“jenny. Would it be all right for a minute?”
Lennok takes out his cell phone and casually makes a call somewhere while walking toward the train.
“I will explain the details later, so I have something I want to ask you. I got my hands on something interesting.”
A faint smile forms on Lennox’s lips when he hears Jenny’s voice screaming.
“okay. Gather people you know. How about a release party? He said he was going to buy a present.”
…!!
“No, not crazy. It’s not that I went back after being interrogated. They both mean the same thing in the first place. Aren’t you just wanting to say something harsh to me?”
After the call, Darby clung to Lennok’s arms while he put his phone in.
[Are you going to buy some souvenirs for organisms now?]
“That can’t be.”
In Lennok’s hand, who smiled lightly, held the shape of the doorframe left by Kaise.
It was only then that the cyber spirit, who noticed Lennok’s intentions, began to wag his tail.
[…] … No way?]
“Since it’s something I got here, shouldn’t I test it right away?”
Chi profit!!
As soon as I got on the train with the door open, even Lennok’s voice faded.
There was no trace of anyone left at the railway station when the fog cleared.
