Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 696
The Witch and the Magic Tower (10)
Area 54.
Abandoned urban area in ruins with expansion development stopped.
A cold wind blew through the buildings that had just been built, and bare concrete and broken neon signs rolled around.
Among those abandoned buildings, there is a small library that is relatively intact.
Lennok and Tatiana were sheltered from the wind in their seats in the library.
“Libraries are usually built with the weight of the books in mind, starting with the design.”
Lennok sat down between the fallen bookshelves, biting down on a cigarette.
“As it is considered as a disaster evacuation facility, it is well preserved and managed. You picked the right place.”
It didn’t take long to contact Virgil, explain the business, and set a place and time.
Although he has never been to work or went to work properly, Lennok is clearly an outside director of the cartel.
In terms of accumulated achievements, they have authority comparable to that of the president’s team.
It is not that difficult to create a position as it has a direct line for the president.
“I knew you had been active in the Balkans for a long time, but I didn’t expect you to be able to call out Oliviera Lone Maze yourself.”
Tatiana asked while looking around the scene of the collapsed library.
“Hey, it wouldn’t be strange for a wizard like you to be familiar with her in some way, but….”
“Looks like you’re interested in Oliviera.”
“what…yes. Because she is a very different person from other mages.”
Tatiana frankly admitted.
“Even on the central front, where all kinds of monsters gather, there are almost no cases where the system is changed. Throwing a gambler to process an innate ability even at the risk of a fall in the hierarchy… … He is an extraordinary person in many ways.”
“….”
Tatiana said, leaning on the shelf across from Lennok, as if reminiscing.
“She was said to have wandered the continent, but probably because of that, there are not a few people who remember her among the top leaders of the Mage Tower. I could sometimes hear about her too.”
It is not incomprehensible considering that Grisha, a shaman who moves from the blue eye, and the godmother of the Summoning Mage Tower, whom I met in the Labyrinth of Hanghasa, mentioned her.
The fact that not a few sorcerers remember her is proof that the deeds of Oliviera in the past were intense and unique.
Even so, after returning to the Balkans after the trip, it is natural that he looks unusual because he is devoted to research while being stuck in the cartel.
If you think about it, there were many things that I couldn’t understand in various ways in the officially known activities of Oliviera.
“It’s not that I’m not interested in such rumors or stories….”
Lennok nodded, gently touching his left arm, which was covered by his coat.
“I don’t know if Oliviera will come in person. I have something to tell you, so I just told you to set up a place for me.”
“…Did you just randomly ask me to meet you?”
“I told you that it was a Dead Rise issue, so the leadership will try to respond from that side as well.”
Lennok replied.
“Besides, I haven’t had much contact with the cartel lately… … I don’t even know if I still have a place left.”
“….”
The last time he met Oliviera had to be traced back to the time of the magic particle exposure in the closed area.
Lennok’s eyes sank deeply as he looked back at his memories.
‘I’m sure he still remembers what happened in the closed area.’
Closed Area 25 looked into Kaise’s past.
At that time when we dealt with a disaster with people from the past decades ago at a collapsed power plant.
Lennok met and clashed with Oliviera in the past, who had learned light magic, and finally got a dramatic cooperation.
At that time, Oliviera broke through the present and past timelines and even gave Lennok direct advice.
She must also know what choices her past self made and what endings she faced.
And at that point, Lennok had some understanding of what it meant to her to help out.
In the end, the ending that Oliviera Lone Maze wants is-
“…half.”
“okay.”
At that moment, Lennok and Tatiana turned their gazes almost simultaneously to the intense sense of deja vu felt on the other side.
“Fortunately, it seems that he himself arrived.”
Charleung!!
A dazzling light rose from the other side of the collapsed city street with the sound of a small bell.
At the same time, hundreds of attendants appeared from all over the ruins and began to form a huge phosphorus curtain.
The empty city area is quickly filled with people, but there is a strange silence where no footsteps or voices can be heard.
coo!!
The moment when hundreds of attendants lined up on every side of the street, set themselves on the road, and put down the library at that point.
The figure of a palanquin, wrapped in five-colored silk, slowly walked down towards this place from the end of the ruins.
doo!!
Four red-skinned, muscular giants hold up palanquins and walk towards the library.
Every time the goblin giant with a ferocious face, not even in human form, walked, the ground shook, and sorrowful mana spewed out in a row in all directions.
Due to the impact of the palanquin’s approach, the magical pressure pressing down on the library became stronger, and just standing in front of the library shattered the door and turned it into a passage for the palanquin to enter and exit.
thud!
When the colorful palanquins come in, it seems that a bright light spreads over the dull lobby of the library.
The four red giants carrying palanquins slowly knelt down and lowered their shoulders.
The shape of the palanquin floated in the air just a little bit as if it would barely touch the ground.
At the same time, the dazzling kiln’s door burst open, revealing the landscape inside.
An empty picture frame placed inside a wide palanquin filled with colorful flowers.
Behind it, there was only one small doll with its head down, hugging the picture frame.
“What is this….”
The moment Tatiana frowned at the sense of incongruity. The doll with its head lowered let out a shout.
[It’s been a while since I’ve seen that shameless face, Kyeong-roe.] A
calm yet cool female tone came from the doll.
The doll, which put down the picture frame it was holding, stood up lightly and slowly walked outside the palanquin.
Wearing a brilliant apparel and a veil that hides his face, he had a relaxed attitude covering his mouth with one hand.
Its appearance and gestures were no different from those in Lennok’s memory.
Except the doll’s height was so short that it didn’t even reach Lennok’s waist.
“…I didn’t know you could shine your face in this way.”
After staring at the doll for a long time without speaking, Lennok laughed.
“Oliviera. Have you put your studies behind and fell in love with playing with dolls?”
Oliveira Lone Maze, an 8th-level archmage and the leader of the cartel.
One of the heads of the Three Heads and a wealthy man with the largest amount of capital and businesses in the shadows.
When mentioning the shadows of megacities, the reaper of the corporate federation, which is indispensable, did not ignore the message sent by Lennok.
However, instead of leading her body to this point, she only sent down this splendid palanquin and doll as a representative of her will.
Even while simultaneously deploying hundreds of attendants throughout the region to escort the palanquins and dolls.
[That’s what you’ve become in the meantime, you’ve become an even worse person to look at.]
Oliviera, borrowing the doll’s consciousness, sneered.
[To be able to comfortably enjoy an outing even after breaking each limb one by one makes me laugh at that self-indulgence bordering on arrogance.]
“….”
[I heard you came back after making a fuss in Machina too? Seeing that, it doesn’t seem like karma doesn’t exist at all.]
As soon as he saw the patient’s face wrapped in a cane and bandages, Lennok laughed bitterly at the answer that stabbed him.
“That one. If you can’t go out with your body, isn’t it more serious than me?”
[It’s a matter of procedure, not utility.]
The doll let out a leisurely jingle through the veil.
[You’ll have to pay some attention to avoid annoying things while you’re shaving away your inner self.] Are
you saying that it’s difficult to go outside because of the research you’re doing personally?
Considering that even at the time of the closed area incident, he was walking outside, it would be correct to think that his condition has deteriorated rapidly recently.
Even so, he chose such a cumbersome method in order to receive contact from Lennok and have a direct conversation.
But Lennok was more interested in Oliveira’s reasoning than in her answer.
“Cut off the inside?”
[Will and desire have forms, and it is natural that they do not match the purpose indicated by reason.]
The doll answered.
[Cutting out unnecessary parts creates an unintended direction, and if you process it well, you can consciously control the coincidence.]
The doll, holding the swaying veil lightly with one hand, smiled.
[As always, I was just playing around with cause and effect. Other than that, there’s nothing else to say.]
“….”
Lennok knew why Oliviera had chosen the Mystic Eye instead of the powerful light magic.
The failure of the Black Consumer Project.
At the end of the plan’s failure, she awakened Chilchaebo’s Mystic Eye and obtained its power.
As a result of risking a drop in the hierarchy and twisting the system, she became a great wizard who transcended the hierarchy with magic magic.
There is only one reason why he made such a huge sacrifice and threw a gambler.
It was because he obtained the power to directly interfere with the concept of cause and effect through the ability of Chilchaebo’s Mystic Eye.
At the time, I didn’t understand why Oliviera was so digging into that ability, but I think I understand a little bit now.
If it was to forcefully rewrite the end of a story that I had seen once.
If it is to change even the cause of the timeline where the result is determined.
Because it requires a sacrifice that throws everything away and a miracle that transcends mutual interest.
[I know, but I can’t enjoy going out for a long time. It would only be unpleasant to show your will to the outside with a body like this.]
The doll tilted its head back as if it were laying down Lennok and Tatiana, with its back straight.
[So, please quickly clarify the reason for calling me. If you have been given the honorable position of outside director, so that you can fulfill your duty.]
Tatiana turned her head with an absurd look.
“Is he really like this?”
“Something seems more arrogant than I remember….”
Lennok murmured, then nodded.
It was understood that Oliviera was in a situation where she could not step forward herself.
First of all, it would be a good idea to properly explain what has happened so far.
Lennok immediately explained that the Blaver Magic Tower and Dead Rise were working together to create a satellite that uses humans as material.
Even the fact that Dead Rise’s executive, Peysha, has returned to Vulcan for him and that the engine is under construction.
While mentioning the fact that he received help from Tatiana, he appropriately hides the inside story itself.
It took less than 2 minutes to say that he was thinking of attacking the satellite factory of Tentacion.
[It’s an interesting story, but it’s missing some important facts.]
As soon as I heard the story, Oliveira said.
[Do you know what kind of place you mentioned.]
“….”
[They are bloated, so they are arrogant and possess subjectivity and action. I can’t move like this under such circumstances… … .]
The doll, which had just stepped back and sat on the palanquin, nodded.
[I guess I need more explanation. It seems that the wizard you brought is more deeply intertwined.]
Oliviera asked in a laughing tone.
[The Fire Mage Tower is about to set foot in Balkan-]
“I’m thinking of building a Mage Tower.”
The moment Lennok replied, the doll’s voice cut off.
“Through the deal with Tatiana, we met the necessary rights and conditions, and now all we have to do is announce it.”
The doll didn’t answer.
As if her consciousness had been cut off on the spot, she just stopped moving while sitting on top of the palanquin.
It was a little while later that Oliviera rang the bell again.
[Right. It’s a new mage tower… … .]
Oliviera, who was silently muttering the words, asked.
[Did the Central Council eventually hand over that authority to you?]
“I acquired the authority through a deal with the Senator of the Central Council.”
Lennok nodded.
“If you are acquainted with Madrid Onion, you would know. Originally, it was said that it was only given to a few people, including him.”
There were several candidates, including Onion and Lennok, but only Lennok was officially approved for the right to create the Mage Tower.
However, all of those candidates must have been ardent wizards who were able to pass on the magic system by building a mage tower themselves.
And from the time Lennok told this story, he had something he wanted to ask Oliviera about.
“Oliviera. Have you ever been invited by the Central Council to build a mage tower?”
Considering that he wasn’t too surprised by Lennox’s words, it was certain that Oliveira was aware that the Central Council was presenting authority over the Mage Tower.
However, whether Oliviera has ever been offered that authority by the Central Council.
If so, Lennok wanted to know why Oliviera had rejected the offer and created the cartel.
[You’re interested in a boring fact.]
But Oliviera shook her head cynically.
[Among the people involved in the project, only Onion officially received the proposal.]
“Why?”
[It’s because there was only one person who could satisfy the conditions for building the Magic Tower. In the first place, among the officials at the time-]
The doll stopped talking as if it were trivial.
[…] … Yes, the past doesn’t matter. It’s just more fun that none other than you accepted the deal.]
Oliveira laughed.
[I knew I wasn’t interested from the moment I let go of useless titles or rumors, but in the first place, I didn’t put a lot of thought into using a combat coat.] “
….”
The moment Lennok ignored that and tried to ask another question.
The doll nodded slowly.
[good night. However, on the condition that you personally capture Paisha Grisburn and bring her to me.]
“Captured alive?”
[There is something I want to confirm with that demon-possessed murderer. Among the majors you have established on the central front, there are some that stand out… … .]
Having said that, Oliviera cut back with a single stroke.
[Let’s say it’s a personal business. Will you accept?]
“No.”
Lennok shook his head.
“It’s rather not worth the price here. You don’t know how difficult it is.”
Demon of Dead Rise.
He is a transcendent spearman who fights by possessing the ancestral spirits, and is physically powerful enough to have had a one-on-one battle with Antares.
It is sure to be a difficult battle to deal with head-on, but the difficulty of dragging that lifeline in front of Oliviera will be so difficult that it is on a different level.
It is an achievement that cannot be easily obtained by simply fighting well and killing well.
Oliveira also nodded as if she understood.
[yes. Then I have to meet the conditions.]
“Meet the conditions?” [They said they were going to build a
mage
tower .
[I allow you to write my name in the hall of the magic tower you are going to build.]
