Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 676
Senate of the Central Council (4)
“The Magic Tower….”
Lennok quietly followed the chairman’s words while muttering.
At the time of summoning Lennok from the Central Council, I thought he would mention the mage theme.
I didn’t expect that he would bring up the story of the mage tower’s creation.
“A little surprised.”
Lennok tilted his head slightly.
“I thought the City Council had a slightly different view of mages.”
“….”
Even in a city as powerful and vast as the Balkans, the Mage Tower had never existed.
It was not because the city council’s ability or the environment of a megalopolis was lacking, but purely because the central council’s policy was like that.
“Cultivation rather than recruiting. education rather than employment. Wasn’t the existence of Rabatenon Magic University the will of the City Council?”
“Even now, that thought is not different.”
said the chairman.
“However, all decisions must be followed by value judgments. If it is worth overturning the existing policy, the Central Council does not reject the flow.”
“A new value?”
Lennok laughed.
“I didn’t know the Senate was still looking for something like that. I thought it was your desire to hold on to a failed project and burn the scenario.”
“….”
The atmosphere in the meeting room turned chilly at Lennok’s open mention of the project.
But Lennok was convinced that it would be more odd not to mention the project at this point.
Kaise’s space-time bottleneck, which he solved at the request of the Senate in the closed area.
There was no way that the Senate did not know that Lennok had witnessed some of Kaise’s past at the end.
The secret and origin of the Black Consumer Project.
It is rather awkward that he does not ask the Senate about it even though he understands the fact to some extent.
At this point, Lennok’s asking them these mindless questions was an opportunity to alleviate their doubts.
“…Whether we like it or not, time in the world just keeps running.”
said the chairman.
“It is the same. Even if you try to calculate and filter the value of everything, someday variables like you will come out.”
“….”
“The reason this city has been able to survive and grow for more than a few decades is because it has actively tried to embrace the same variables as you.”
A definite answer that it was worth it to Lennok to overturn the existing policy and suggest the creation of the Mage Tower.
Instead of responding, Lennok quietly tapped the cane he was holding.
The flame of the tobacco in his mouth grew stronger and in an instant burned the remaining filler and disappeared.
Tarak… … !!
A handful of smoke rises above your head and scatters through the conference building.
Some of the members of the council watching from their thrones took an interest in the smell of smoke, but Lennok ignored it.
The Chairman, who was looking at it with an expressionless face, only showed interest in Lennok’s wand.
“You still use your cane. Isn’t the wound from the battle with Onion not getting better?”
“….”
“It’s an object made by remodeling a life support system, right? Like a wizard, you have a peculiar taste. There must be no reason to go around exposing it.”
“I just carry it because I need it. It means nothing more than that.”
At Lennox’s words, the chairman looked at him quietly and said.
“Onion was a wonderful person.”
“….”
“A trustworthy ally, a seasoned commander, an impartial judge…He was a dear friend.”
With those words, I felt the atmosphere in the meeting building sink deeply.
The senators gathered here, especially the older ones, must be aware of the Madrid Onion in its heyday.
That’s how well he was aware of what an excellent military commander and excellent colleague he was.
Holding a funeral in honor of his death directly at the Central Council was probably not just a show.
“Even though we disagreed in the end, I respected their will and determination. Even the strength of not losing one’s own convictions until the end.”
“What do you want to say?”
“I just wanted to say that the military sage who fell by your hands deserves someone’s condolences.”
The Senate President tilted his head.
“That you are the first person to receive this offer after Onion retired.”
“….”
Level 8 military sage, Madric Onion.
As a former Chief Justice and Executioner of the Great War, his dedication to the great city was once great in this city.
It makes me realize what a tricky opponent he was and how the aftermath is still affecting him.
However, even as the chairman said that, he did not immerse himself in his sentiments for long.
Instead, he raised his hollow eyes and turned his gaze back to Lennok.
“okay…The story has gone around a bit. After all, the important thing is what you did in Makina with your immature body.”
“….”
“I still find it hard to believe that no matter how outstanding my qualities were, I would have perpetrated such a thing with a body on life support…The way you are standing now is proof of that.”
the chairman asked.
“That would be possible because you have achieved something worthy of your talent. Therefore, I will ask.”
“….”
“Ban, have you transcended the hierarchy you established and found a new path?”
The meeting building is silent with heavy questions.
Apparently, other than the Speaker, the other members of Congress have no intention of intervening in this question-and-answer first.
He just quietly waited for Lennok’s answer, without any reaction or hint.
But Lennok now knew that the question itself was being asked because he respected him that much.
Seeing what Lennok has been doing and the achievements he has accumulated over the years, he has been assuming that he had already guessed,
calling him to this place to ask him directly and get confirmation.
At first glance, the fact that this cumbersome procedure itself is because Lennok is respected and treated as an equal.
It’s a situation that is quite the opposite of the attitude that I’ve been openly disrespecting even though I knew about the existence and power of Ban.
And Lennok was well aware of where these Senate reactions were coming from.
Click.
Lennok lifted his head from his cane once more, perched on a nearby ledge.
“They want to know if I made a deal with the Ex Machina.”
“….”
said Lennok to the chairman who did not answer.
“So, as soon as they knew I was back, they contacted me and tried to meet me without the knowledge of their existing contacts.”
The reason why the Senate of the Central Council is finally calling Lennok directly to ask questions.
It must be because they also captured the circumstances that Lennok contacted the Ex Machina in the Machine City.
A wizard who has reached level 8. It is also the highest level wizard who survived in the shadows with countless bloodstained.
I don’t want to keep such a monster nearby and keep it in check, but I can’t watch it fall over to Makina.
The point at which the meaning has grown to such an extent that it is not strange that the environment and situation surrounding Lennok change drastically depending on how he moves.
That’s why the Senate also tried to meet him in person before it was too late.
“Isn’t the reason why you brought up the story of the Mage Tower because the calculations have finally been made because of Makina’s work?
“I think you’re half misunderstanding something.”
The chairman slowly folded both hands and placed them on the table.
A heavy gaze fell over Lennok’s head.
“The Central Council has no intention of persuading you. I know how difficult it is to undo the resolve of a mage like you.”
“….”
“Contrary to rumors, you are far from being malicious or insane. However, the fact that all the fears about fastness are major achievements as a result… … .”
The chairman’s eyes brightened as he looked at Lennok.
“That itself is extremely dangerous. More than just being crazy about blood.”
You already know that not all rumors about fastness are true, but you think that Lennok is more dangerous because of that?
An eye that points out the essence of a word with a viewpoint and tone that is different from others.
“We just throw in suggestions.”
said the chairman.
“If you wish, the Central Council will fully support you so that you can fully demonstrate your talents and qualifications. A magic tower for only one person. It will also be the only mage tower in the great city of Balkan.”
“….”
“Once you receive formal approval as a mage tower and start organizing a school, the territory of the extraterritorial realm is complete. You can be freed from responsibility and punishment for all the crimes you have committed so far. Only your fellow wizards will be able to judge and define you.”
The reason why he hadn’t made a mage tower until now was because it wasn’t worth it.
But the Chairman was saying that he could reverse the policy and use his strength for Lennok alone.
Literally just tossing out an offer and waiting for Lennok’s answer.
In the process, rather, he seemed to have nothing to do with whether Lennok chose Machina or Balkan.
“The choice is yours.”
“no.”
Lennok laughed.
“It sounds grandiose, but in the end you all seem to want me to hold hands with either Vulcan or Makina.”
“….”
A meeting hall in silence. At the moment, I feel that the eyes of the lawmakers whose faces cannot be seen are getting stronger.
Lennok tilted his head, vividly feeling the sharp rise in the air.
“That’s probably because my actions and intentions come within a range that can be controlled and calculated to some extent, no matter which city government holds the hand, right?”
Looking at the expressionless face of the Chairman, Lennok tapped his wand.
“I will do whatever I want. If I were to build a mage tower, even that would be completely based on my judgment and decision. More than anything….”
Lennok looked around and opened his mouth with a cold smile.
“It’s a lot later than the proposal made by the senate. What do you guys do better than those backroom old people?”
They are not interested in Lennok or want to stay away from him at all.
It’s just that they don’t like the fact that a powerful variable named Lenok is now out of their calculations and control.
That’s why, using the opportunity of the Ex Machina deal as an excuse, he was urging Lennok to choose one of the two cities.
A level 8 wizard.
However, no matter how powerful a force is, if it is wielded under the laws and order of the city, it becomes easier to consider.
At least, Lennok’s roaming through cities and continents and wreaking havoc would be greatly reduced, as he is now.
“I want to do whatever I want….”
The Chairman, who had been silently looking down at Lennok, slowly raised his head.
“That’s an answer I didn’t expect.”
At that moment, a very heavy mana started pouring down like a wave behind the chairman’s back.
coo coo… … !!
A powerful pressure that seems to weigh down the entire space of the meeting room with a simple expression of will.
You are not manipulating gravity or a specific mass.
A technique that amplifies non-existent pressure by filling the density of space with magic power alone.
It was tantamount to revealing the fact that the mana possessed by the chairman was greater than that of any superhuman here.
Doo doo… … !!
The building of the meeting building, which was made with a parallel design of space, shakes with that will, which only pours mana into the space and fills it.
“chairman. What are you doing now?”
Only then did some of the silent lawmakers begin to express their discomfort with the chairman.
“Obviously, you should have only mentioned the investment proposal for the mage tower.”
“It’s a loss to use brute force against a solid wizard. You’d better restrain yourself.”
All of those gathered here are managers who lead and dominate megacities in their respective fields.
That’s why, rather than being intimidated by the ridiculous magic of the chairman, he reveals his uncomfortable planting without hesitation.
Looking at the members, Lennok lightly grabbed the chairman’s magic power pouring down in the air.
A contradiction in which magical power, originally supposed to be weightless, flows down like sand with a clear texture and heaviness.
However, Lennok nodded, sweeping away the mana of the Chairman with his bare hands.
“Right.”
Paaaaa… … !!
The moment the magician’s will that rose from Lennok’s fingertips dug into the chairman’s mana and turned it upside down.
The chairman’s sand magic, which flowed down, soared upside down and soared over the ceiling of the conference building.
Bubber Beopbung!!
“Magic Reversal….”
“You said you changed your temper in reverse?”
Lennok, ignoring the voices of astonished lawmakers on all sides, smiled coldly and tapped his staff.
At the same time, a seething torrent of magical energy erupted from beneath Lennok’s feet.
“I don’t mind seeing the end here.”
Koo Goo Goo!!!
The magical energy of the two collided mercilessly from above and below, shattered, and the sparks bounced in all directions.
The eerie noises of creaking space and the miracle of the landscape twisting little by little.
At that moment, the fiercely heated air of the meeting building could not overcome its limits and soared as if it were about to explode.
“Let’s go there.”
Brilliant platinum brilliance burst out between the two of them.
Faaaa!!
The platinum light rotating counterclockwise gently penetrated the mana between the chairperson and Lennok on the spot.
The scene of the clock distorting as it squeezes through the meeting building from the other side of the invisible void in an instant.
In the meantime, a young man wearing a bowler hat walked out and smiled.
Aside from his slender physique and the fact that he is a young man, he had a strange impression so that no other characteristics could be identified.
“What are you doing with everyone you know?”
“…Silford.”
Lennok immediately recognized him and smiled.
“What’s going on here in the Senate?”
Area 25 designated as a closed area. The last moment I found Kaise’s research journal.
At that time, the magician Silford, who had come to say hello to the Senate, had appeared.
Even now, the gleam of platinum swirling under his feet proves that he is an aristocrat from the central city.
Silford, who lightly clapped his hands to lighten the atmosphere, turned his gaze toward the chairperson with a smile on his face.
“chairman. You should do it in moderation. Didn’t you really know that it wouldn’t break if you knocked on it?”
Silford shrugged.
The light tone and actions that seem to have completely blown away the weight are still the same.
The atmosphere was completely opposite to the chair that seemed to sink into the depths right in front of my eyes.
“He is a person who will not give in to any persuasion. Why do you do that when you can solve it amicably?”
“….”
Silford let out a small sigh at the response of the chairman, who did not respond.
He snapped his fingers once more, and the platinum glow rising from beneath his feet began to transform into a rift in space once again.
“Knowing that, I brought a nobleman who can mediate this situation.”
From the other side of the crack in space, someone wearing old overshoes quietly stepped out.
A bronze-colored woman wearing a thick hood and brush, with a large rosary and all sorts of accessories hanging from her neck.
A lot of years are felt on that smiling face with closed eyes.
“…It is that woman.”
“You said you came by yourself?”
The lawmakers, who had been watching the situation with a sullen expression, whispered with a slightly surprised expression.
Even the chairperson, unlike before, showed some hesitation.
“I don’t know what you mean by bringing in an outsider and finishing the job here.”
Lennok looked at Silford with a cold gaze and asked.
“Who’s going to decide what to do here?”
“Come on, don’t be too hard on yourself. It might be a great opportunity for you too.”
Silford naturally grabbed Lennok’s shoulders and turned to the woman and whispered.
“He’s the most magical astrologer on the continent.”
