Pill-Eating Genius Wizard Episode 734
Flyby (2)
“As the lighthouses built by the Blue Eye all over the world became famous, rumors began to circulate about the next candidate location.”
Sabrina explained.
“The Giant’s Citadel is the most promising candidate among them, and it is a very sensitive border area in the North Continent. Especially in a situation where the center is chaotic like now.”
The sixth lighthouse to be built around the world for the lighthouse keeper’s abilities.
Is Lapis resuming his activities and moving to build a new lighthouse?
It was surprising that Sabrina knew this information, but Lennok had something to check before he did.
“I didn’t know that the Grand Duke of Kavahim accepted the work of the Watcher. Is Jillian the key to this case?”
Although he had never visited in person, Lenok had some knowledge of what kind of country the Kavahim were.
A country of knights who serve the king, and a country that professionally trains outstanding physical abilities.
Unlike most powers on the continent that have become self-reliant as city-states, Kavahim is one of the very few countries that maintain their territories.
In Kavahim, where nobles exist, anyone with the title of grand duke must be a man of great power.
Even if there was such a existence, Lennok had never seen his face as Evan.
‘I think I’ve heard some names of observers during the operation of the Anti-Hasasa Labyrinth, but… … .’
Lennok, too, had passed it off and forgotten about it, so he only remembered that there was such a name.
I didn’t know anything about the specifics or their history.
“Looking at the situation going back, it seems that I only put my name on the watcher and did little activity.”
Sabrina answered, twisting her hair.
“Zilean is the only younger brother of the current King Kavahim, and he is a nobleman who inherited the dukeship, but he lived on the battlefield, hanging out with mercenaries from a young age.”
“….”
“I heard that he was treated as a child of the royal family and returned after being known as a war hero. That’s why there are very few official activities. There is no way to know that I became a watcher because it is the internal circumstances of the Blue Eye, but it’s probably related to the Cheon-Gyeon side, right?”
A war hero close to a mercenary. An aristocrat with the title of duke, but a recluse with little activity.
And is it the owner of the fort that obtained the ruins of the Giant Corps?
As Lennok thought about him, Sabrina clapped lightly to draw attention.
“Anyway, the important thing is that there is a key to Gyro’s ship in the Giant’s Citadel. The fort’s defenses are strict and there are high-level knights, so it’s difficult to break through with just a handful of personnel.”
Sabrina said.
“Combat ability in case of infiltration, stealth escape, and emergency. There are people who are good at each one, but few people can do it all alone, right?”
stealth and combat. A superman with excellent abilities in all three areas of stealing is rare even within the pandemonium.
The fact that such a thing is possible is only for monsters who have learned a really special ability or can treat it as a minor inconvenience.
That’s why Sabrina asked Victor, who is an extremely rare special magician even within the organization, to carry out such an operation.
Right now, Agneta, a manipulator similar to Victor, is not familiar with combat, and it must have been difficult to find suitable talent for Sabrina.
“Victor, I heard you robbed against the wall in Kaiushu, and also moved like a clown at the handbook well? That’s enough to keep me alive no matter what happens.”
“If Kavahim’s Fortress is the goal, there must be someone more suitable for the pandemonium than anyone else.”
Lennok asked, leaning on the fragments of a broken plane wing.
“Why are you entrusting this to someone else, leaving Soryu behind?”
Soryu is one of the members of Pandemonium.
The royal family of the Kavahim, and a person with the ability to be born in the Ice Barrier who inherited the bloodline ability.
He was quite meticulous and cruel, so he was a skilled player who went to the brink of attacking the wall in Kaiushu.
If he was banished from the succession ceremony, he would know the internal structure of the kingdom better than anyone else.
Why leave such a person alone and entrust this task to Lennok?
“Of course, I asked Soryu first. It was your job to inquire as soon as you got the ship.”
Sabrina licked her lips in pity.
“But I heard that it is impossible to touch the property of the capital regardless of one’s will. It’s overflowing with things already inherited.”
“….”
Is this how you feel when you hear the son of a rich family complaining?
“I’d rather call him if I need to kill or assassinate the Kavahim royal family.”
It is rather surprising that nothing has changed from the Soryu in Lennok’s memory.
Come to think of it, Soryu himself didn’t seem to like his own birth.
Rather than saying that he couldn’t do it because he still had affection for Kavahim, was it impossible for him to touch the treasure itself as a member of the royal family?
As Soryu was not here, thinking about this ideal was nothing more than a meaningless fantasy.
Lennok quickly gathered his thoughts and stood up from his seat.
“understood. From now on, I will take care of myself.”
* * *
Unlike the snowy Hanghasa Labyrinth, Kavahim’s territory is located in a relatively warm mountain area even in the North Continent.
A rugged terrain with mountain ranges and cliffs spread out in all directions, acting like unforged walls.
“done.”
Lennok, wearing a thick shadow robe, straightened his back and stood up.
In the forest, hidden by thick trees and bushes, you can’t even see an inch ahead.
A magic circle big enough for one person was engraved in the small clearing between the branches and leaves.
It seems that there is no space to step on due to the densely placed signs and symbols.
Lennok muttered, having quickly finished verifying the magic circle’s operating sequence and logical structure.
“This should be enough.”
The Northern Continent is a remote area where Lennok’s foundation and status advantage are non-existent.
Having an insurance policy in case something goes wrong was something Lennok was used to.
After meticulously finishing and preserving with magical power, Lenok touched the mask and moved on.
With the help of Darby, the fortress district arrived via train to the Kavahim border area.
Considering the range covered by magic power detection, a reaction should have come at this point.
Lennok, who had been breathing with his eyes closed and calmly filtering out the heterogeneity of his sensory sphere, opened his eyes.
“…found.”
The moment you turn your senses into the dark forest, you feel an intangible curtain blocking your way.
Something that cannot be seen or felt, but must exist there.
Lenok, who quickly grasped the structure of the barrier, touched his chin and became immersed in thought.
“You removed the physical resistance altogether and instead raised only the sensing ability to the limit. I have great confidence… … .”
A strong barrier guarantees a certain level of resistance and physical power just by being built.
Even the basic defense ability given to such a high barrier was remodeled and turned to detection.
A barrier that is strictly used only for the purpose of guarding four stocks. There is considerable confidence in the attitude that detection is sufficient instead of blocking outsiders.
‘I’d like to try it as Evan, but it would be difficult in reality.’
The authority that Lapis gave to Evan was the authority to operate the fifth lighthouse.
Furthermore, the Giant’s Fortress is an unexplored area that has not yet been formally designated as a lighthouse.
At this point, there is a risk that Evan’s identity will be used to solve the problem comfortably, and the pod will be caught.
Thinking so, Lennok looked back with a cold gaze.
“How long are you going to watch it like that?”
“…oh did you know?”
At that moment, Agneta slowly descends on a spider’s web in empty space.
Agneta, hanging upside down on the spider’s web, smiled shyly.
“I was going to follow you around quietly, but if you knew, I’ll tell you in advance.”
“If you have something to say, do it now. After entering the citadel, time like this will be a waste.”
Lennok replied angrily.
“Or did Sabrina tell me to monitor my movements?”
“No, not that. I decided to accompany you on this occasion.”
“what?”
“I heard from a clown that his skills are really good? I’ll just watch secretly from the side.”
Agneta, confidently pointing at herself, smiled brightly.
“To be honest, I wonder how the same manipulator fights.”
“…no.”
Lennok, who had been silent, replied coldly.
“I have no intention of carrying an onlooker behind my back.”
At the same time as the magic power was raised, heavy pressure pressed down on the spider’s torso from all sides.
Whoo!!
Agneta’s expression slightly frowned upon recognizing the strong intent to kill contained in that mana.
“Get out of the way before I cut off your leg.”
“Eh…I didn’t expect a reaction like this.”
Instead of shrinking from Lennok’s sad words, the spider muttered in trouble.
It’s not because Agneta doesn’t know much about Victor’s personality or because she’s confident in her combat abilities.
In the first place, she has the confidence to take care of herself no matter what happens here.
The fact that he is serving as the messenger of Pandemonium proves that he is freely entering and leaving all kinds of demonic and rough places on the continent.
Even if his direct combat ability is a bit lacking, he must be good at avoiding and escaping through the imaginary dimension.
“I think I said it wrong, but I am not accompanying you on this operation purely out of my own interest.”
Agneta, who was hanging upside down in the air and thinking about it, organized her thoughts again and said.
“Because you didn’t learn the subspace magic right away, someone has to keep the ship.”
“You keep the ship’s box?”
“If you find the key in the citadel, you have to compare it with Sabrina’s chest to see if it matches.”
Agthena said as if it were natural.
“There are close to 10 warships that have been officially discovered, so there is a very small chance that the key won’t fit.”
“….”
“As I said before, if you take out the gyro’s box for a long time, it will run away on its own, and if you don’t check it right away on the spot, it becomes a hassle.”
“Once you get the key, I will give you a signal.”
Lennok said right away.
“Then follow me into the citadel and take out the ship’s box. Would that be enough?”
“Eh that….”
That’s what he said, but in the end, it seemed that he had a greater desire to watch Lennok’s manipulation ceremony from the side.
Agneta, who had been grunting for a long time, clapped her hands as if she had come up with a good idea.
“Oh, then how about this?”
Having said that, she opened her subspace and took out a new object from within.
The shape of a small thread cocoon that looks like it was made by tying together thin spider webs.
Agneta confidently held it out in one hand and said.
“I’ll give you this, so let me follow you.”
“…What is this?”
“It’s something I made to kill time, but it’s surprisingly useful. Everyone loves it. If it’s you, you’ll probably be able to handle it best in the Pandemonium.”
“….”
The look of Lennok staring at Agneta’s gift.
I couldn’t see my expression properly because of the mask, but the cold momentum from earlier quickly subsided.
Rather than that, he seemed more interested in Agneta’s gift.
As soon as I understood what Agneta was offering, I realized its value.
“hmm. Right. I’m sure this would be very helpful… … .”
“Are you fine?”
“okay. Not bad.”
asked Lennok, snatching it from Agneta’s hand and putting it into her bosom.
“If you have more, bring them. I’ll pay you whatever you want.”
“No, it’s not something that can be made just like that.”
Agneta waved her hand as if in trouble.
“I can make it when I really have time. It’s really great to eat and give. Even the leader sometimes asks for it.”
“The captain?”
“huh.”
Aside from the fact that Agneta has a screwed up personality, she probably wouldn’t lie.
Lennok, who had heard that far, quickly turned around.
Lennok, who touched the shadow robe that was wrapped all the way over his head, spoke without looking back.
“I have no intention of worrying about it, so just hide and avoid it. Do you understand?”
“I am what I do best.”
I didn’t expect Agneta to accompany me, but now I don’t have to worry about it any more.
Above all, if it was a gift from her, there was a high possibility that things would be solved much more easily than I thought.
Considering that, it wasn’t difficult to show Agneta the current operation.
“Goes.”
Keying!!
The moment Lennok raised his mana and at the same time touched the barrier spreading in front of his eyes with his bare hands.
The sorcerer began to sew and cross over the intangible barrier that could not be grasped properly.
damn… … !!
Following Lennok’s gesture, the sorcerer penetrates the surface of the barrier like a thread and slowly cracks as if opening a scar from a wound.
The outer wall is opened along the suture threaded with the barrier, but there is no change in the flow of the entire barrier.
The delicacy of not intervening in the detection while openly touching and manipulating the barrier from the outside.
Agneta, who was watching from the sidelines, realized that the principle had already been demonstrated by her once, and let out an exclamation.
“Spatial junctions used in subspace techniques. Have you already learned the trick and can use it to break the barrier?”
“I understood the trick of opening and closing the entrance the moment I saw it. It is not difficult in itself to apply it to sealing and dehiscence of barriers.”
Lennok replied as he slowly opened the suture and opened the crack in the barrier.
Awesome… … !!
A cramped gap where one person could barely get in and out.
Lennok, who crossed the barrier lightly with his shoulders lightly tucked in, tucked his robe lightly together and said,
“The important thing is to connect magicians inside the separated space and keep it from being restored. I guess I’ll have to watch that a few more times.”
“I’ve seen it once, so it’ll be possible soon enough.”
Agneta, who had followed into the barrier, muttered as she watched Lennok mysteriously seal the barrier from the inside.
“There must have been a reason for not accepting the transfer of skills. Didn’t I just taste like a clown without fail-”
“Stop talking nonsense and move on.”
Lenok said after gluing the outer and inner walls of the barrier with neat cracks.
“You may have noticed that there was something wrong with the barrier over there, but you wouldn’t have been able to figure out where the problem was.”
Seeing the shape of a spire visible over the bushes in the distance, Lennok raised his mana.
“Enough time to steal the key and get out.”
pat!!
I hooked the sorcerer on top of the tree and pulled it, and Lennok’s body passed through the branches like an arrow and moved forward rapidly.
The appearance of a huge fortress built along the valley that spreads through the thick leaves.
Above the lofty spire, a colossal agglomeration of intentions spun and cast its gaze in all directions.
While Lennok puts on his robe and hides his presence, Agneta also disappears on the spot.
He was probably walking a tightrope in the imaginary number dimension believing in his own manipulation formula.
Thinking that far, Lennok immediately stretched out his magician and got on the river flowing right next to him.
Chew!!
The shape of a shadow walking upside down on flowing water. As the water stream flowed backwards through the valley, it wasn’t long before the water supply channel of Goseong began to appear.
A structure made by digging a deep ditch around the old castle and allowing the water of the valley to flow up and down to fill the water supply.
good!!
He held the sorcerer in one hand and held the other on the wall of the canal as he moved slowly.
It’s enough to use Blink, but there are probably guards stationed near the canal.
Cuguaguagua!!!
I can’t hear it well because of the sound of the water, but I can clearly feel the presence of people walking around the area through magic detection.
The moment Lennok, who was leaning against the waterway and turning his magic sensor, snapped his fingers, the magician pulled from the end of his sleeve bounced up the wall.
Chew!!
I wrapped around the ankle of a knight who was patrolling the upper aisle and pulled it, dropping the back of his head to the floor.
Before there was even a reaction, I wrapped the magician several more times and quickly pulled it from various directions.
Dududuk!!
“…!!”
An impact that grips the knight’s shoulders and neck and pushes him down hard. The eyes were already completely unconscious and turned upside down.
Only then did Lennok, who had come up from down the canal, look away, rubbing his sore shoulder.
I haven’t noticed any signs of it yet. It must be said that there is no problem even if the manipulation formula is used where the eyes can reach.
However, what caught Lennok’s nerves more than that was the scenery of the castle entered through the waterway.
coo coo… … !!
All the facilities in the castle are shaking as if they are alive.
Corridor where the stunned guard leaned on. Ceiling illuminated by lanterns. Location of stairs in the distance. Even the direction of the waterway flowing under your feet.
Some places are clear enough to be seen with the naked eye, and some places are faint enough to barely notice the change even with magic power detection.
However, it was clear that all the facilities in the castle were moving as if they were all interlocked.
‘There must be a reason why Blue Eye wanted to make this place the sixth lighthouse… … .’
All new lighthouses created using the lighthouse keeper’s supernatural powers require a secret place with powerful mysteries.
None of the other lighthouses Lennok knew were built in ordinary or meaningless places.
The fact that Blue Eyes is thinking of Jillian’s castle as a candidate for the sixth lighthouse is proof that the castle’s environment and conditions are special.
[What are you going to do?]
Agneta’s voice echoed in her ears like a faint echo.
Now, this situation seems to be full of interest as if it is rather expected.
“It’s not my taste to argue over and over again.”
Lennok responded coldly to Agneta’s words and quickly organized his thoughts.
There is no need to waste time at the point where you have successfully entered the fort.
In this case, it would be much faster to move with the character of Victor.
Lennok pointed his finger at the forehead of another knight who had just spotted Lennok at the end of the hallway.
“It penetrates through everything.”
