The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 880:
Eyes that See Destiny (16)
Those who inherit the mission of lighthouse keepers inherit the supernormal ability of sight seeing farther than anyone else from generation to generation.
The power given to those who do not stop at the level of simply having good eyesight but can foresee and foresee a crisis before others.
A long time ago, when civilization did not even exist. A talent that may have started with one sentry with particularly good eyesight.
However, as a long time passed, the positions of the seas and continents changed, and billions of lives bloomed and died, the power that was passed down miraculously uninterrupted was transformed into the concept of power, bearing the weight of time and life.
The talent that was all about seeing far into the distance is now looking beyond the present, past and future, beyond this world and into the endless sea of darkness.
Since when did the owner of this power be given the name Lighthouse Keeper and given a grand mission?
Maybe the beginning itself wasn’t that long ago.
However, Lapis never once doubted the nature of this power she had inherited for the work she had to do.
Life, memories, past, fate. You can see anything if you want to show it.
Even if you don’t want it, I sometimes thought of this power of showing and seeing it again as a curse.
It was the first time she had seen someone who could see nothing like the young man sitting in front of Lapis.
“….”
An expressionless face with a cool atmosphere. Dark black hair roughly swept away.
On the outside, he looks quite young, but if rumors are to be believed, his actual age is probably several times more.
He tilts his head back slightly, closes his eyes, and burns the tobacco in silence.
“Whew…”
The figure of the person sitting languidly on the chair showed a feeling of fatigue that could not be hidden.
That was all that Lapis Falseer, a lighthouse keeper and super-sight-sighter, could see from this man.
Neither the magic being used nor the flow of magical energy, nor the source image, nor even the slightest fragment of thought, can be seen.
A strange sense of discomfort, as if looking into an empty void in the shape of a human being.
This man is the great wizard who is said to be the craziest in the metropolis.
And he was the one who blew away Evan, who was protecting Lapis, and kidnapped her here.
“Your gaze… isn’t reaching properly.”
Lapis’s thoughts could not extend anywhere in this huge obsidian cavity.
A strange phenomenon where the entire space seems to absorb the thoughts and completely destroy them.
Gomrei said indifferently.
“It would be difficult to use supernormal abilities with poor eyesight.”
“….”
Does he even know that Lapis is experiencing backlash from overusing her supernormal abilities?
Maybe it was because he already knew that fact that he was sitting in front of Lapis like this.
Lapis glanced up and quietly asked.
“Where am I?”
“The underground cavity of the tower.”
Lightning answered with his eyes closed.
“It is deep inside the area.”
“….”
An area declared by an archmage who has reached level 8.
Is that why even the thoughts of a missionary like Lapis cannot be leaked to the outside world and instead sinks heavily and remains silent?
Lapis waited for Shimrei’s words, but he didn’t say anything more.
Are they just confining her in this space and have no intention of telling her their intentions?
In fact, there are no restraints that bind Lapis except that her hands are tied so that she cannot make a hand sign.
It’s okay for her to get up from the chair she’s sitting on and move around this cavity freely.
However, Lapis got up and threw away the foolish idea of running away from the lightning rod and immediately spoke to him.
“I’ve heard stories about you. “It’s quite famous in the center as well.”
“….”
“He killed Madrich Onion, turned the Machine City over by himself, and defeated the general of Deadrise.”
Lightning still didn’t say anything.
“He’s a wizard who killed more superhumans than anyone else…” He
just opened his closed eyes and stared at Lapis with a clouded gaze.
Even though they are making eye contact and having a conversation, it is impossible to read any emotion or will within them.
“There is no connection between me and you, so why are you doing this?”
However, Lapis desperately maintained her composure and continued speaking with difficulty.
At this point, Evan, who was protecting her, had no chance of defeating this man with force.
But even so, I had to find a way to keep in touch while wasting time.
Not to save Lapis herself, but for a successor who will carry on her mission as a lighthouse keeper.
In the worst case, even if one dies here, the supernormal ability of sight reading must be passed on to the person who has received the karma of the gazer.
Lapis said, repeating that one fact to herself over and over again.
“Because of this, the central government will recognize not only my visit to the Balkans but also this atrocity. “Do you want a new war to break out over this city?”
“….”
“If you’re going to destroy my soul and take away my authority, it’s going to take a lot. At least not in this drastic way-”
“I was asked to kill you.”
Lapis felt her breath suffocating at Dore’s indifferent answer.
This is because I was confident that I accepted the words spoken by the young man in front of me as an irresistible reality.
Yes, maybe I asked the question in the first place because I wanted to hear that rather than be anxious about the unknown.
Instead of hoping for a miracle that Evan and Patisia will come back to save Lapis, I want to talk about the reality that never changes.
But the words of fastness did not end there.
“I also received a request that requires your skills.”
Fast, which evaporated the burned tobacco with a single wave of his hand, leaned back in his chair with a listless look.
Gomnoe muttered as he took out a new piece of tobacco from his arms, blew on it, and lit it.
“So I just decided not to choose either one.”
“…What did you say?”
How can such a conclusion be drawn from that explanation?
Lightning stood up, leaving Lapis blinking in bewilderment at the archmage’s purely arbitrary answer.
Lightning turned around, leaning on his cane, and looked into Lapis’ light blue eyes with a cool gaze.
“If I tie you up here, I will be able to handle troublesome matters, including that wizard, with ease.”
“…!!”
Lapis’ expression suddenly changed as she understood those words.
Because Lapis also immediately understood who the magician that Lightning was talking about was.
What this blood-crazed wizard is aiming for is-
“Evan…!!”
Lapis shouted without thinking, then gritted her teeth and lowered her voice.
“This person has nothing to do with this matter. “You only helped me because I asked you to.”
“….”
However, at Lapis’s words, Gomrei looked down at her and shook his head.
“You’re excited. But it’s not wrong.”
“…yes?”
“If the possibility you are talking about is also necessary, we will have to take action even at the last minute.”
Lapis was thinking desperately without understanding, and Lightning walked past her and shook his head.
“I am not interested in the circumstances of the viewers. “I know enough about that business.”
“Where are you going?”
A fastness that looks as if it will leave the tower at any moment.
However, after hearing his story about Evan, Lapis had no choice but to ask this.
If Lightning changes his mind right now and tries to kill Evan right now-
Lightning said as he was about to leave the underground cave, he looked back at Lapis.
“Free movement is allowed within the tower. “You can do anything as long as you don’t use your power.”
“What is that…”
It didn’t seem like Lightning had any intention of killing Lapis right away, but it also didn’t seem like he had any intention of letting her go.
Lapis had no right to expect anything when things turned out this way, but the ending doesn’t look good either way.
You are clearly missing something important.
Something important about Evan that Lightning knows and Lapis hasn’t realized yet.
There is a secret that Lapis clearly knows, but cannot yet relate to this situation.
However, before Lapis’s worries could take shape, Goryeong slowly closed his eyes.
“It’s very noisy outside.”
The only thing I felt from this man, whose expressions or intentions could not be read, was the immense fatigue.
The moment Lapis realized that it was something closer to mental wear and tear that went beyond the burden of the body.
“Are they the people involved in the meeting? They are so confident that nothing will change even if they give us a warning.”
A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Lightning’s mouth.
“Then I guess I’ll have to go pick you up in person.”
“…!!”
A voice so eerie that it instantly sends goosebumps down your spine.
The wizard’s notoriety and madness, which I had only vaguely felt until now, seem to be immediately realized with just one word.
The reason why this man, who seemed like he could communicate well at first glance, is called crazier than anyone else in this city.
When Lapis finally realized this and raised her head, Fast’s appearance had disappeared from within the tower.
“….”
Hwioo!
A gentle breeze blowing from beyond the vast obsidian cavity.
The underground area of the tower is so wide that the end of the cavity cannot be clearly seen from the chair Lapis is sitting on.
Lapis silently looked at the other side of the chair across from where the fastness had disappeared, then gritted her teeth and stood up.
“…I have to tell Evan.”
Lightning told her that it was okay to move freely within the tower.
That’s probably because Lapis is confident that she can’t escape from his territory alone.
If you go against the direct words of that madman, you will probably have to pay a heavy price.
However, Lapis had no intention of stopping her actions just because her life was now a waste.
I am not afraid of failing or even dying due to a foolish choice that fails to see reality due to my own wrong judgment.
However, it is absolutely unacceptable for the wizard who tried to protect her until the end in this city to be angry because of her request.
‘If you leave the underground cavity and go to a place where you can see the sky, you might be able to use your supernormal abilities-’ “
Ah, is that Lapis Falcier?”
As Lapis looked around the cavity, allaying her fears, a grumpy female voice was heard from behind her.
“…!!”
“It’s true. “It’s exactly the same as what you see in the picture.”
When Lapis, startled, turned her head, a strangely sharp-looking woman was looking at her with her arms crossed.
She twists her shoulder-length curly hair with one hand and tilts her gaze languidly.
“It’s an honor to meet a famous person from the Central Front. Since this is our relationship, shall we shake hands?”
“…Who is it?”
“Jenicea. “Call me Jenny.”
Jenny responded.
Jenny came in front of Lapis with somewhat wicked-looking steps and held out her hand.
“He is the person who handles all kinds of colorful and troublesome settlements on behalf of the outlaw who kidnapped you.”
“….”
“I still don’t know what Ban was thinking about kidnapping the lighthouse keeper, but-”
Jenny’s expression looked dumbfounded as she said that, as if she still didn’t realize the situation.
In the first place, did you mean that the decision to detain Lapis was made without informing the tower at all?
While Lapis quickly shook her head, Jenny shrugged her shoulders with a relieved expression.
“Well, since it’s half the job, I don’t think we’ll find out until the end. “I gave up trying to understand it a long time ago.”
“….”
“So, it’s better for you to relax and wait. “It would be nice to hear about the progress only after everything is over.”
“Gyeonrei forcibly detained me and imprisoned me here.”
Lapis cowered slightly and spoke warily.
“Do you think I can believe what you say, since I don’t know when I will die?”
“well. “I don’t think Van will kill you now.”
Jenny answered in a drowsy voice.
“I’m not one to look at someone for too long when I’m half-determined to kill them. Do you think a wizard of that caliber would put the time and effort into an act called murder?”
“…that.”
Surely, if he had had that much patience, he wouldn’t have had the notoriety of being a blood-crazed wizard.
The explanation was so plausible that Lapis felt herself understanding for a moment and shook her head in slight surprise.
Jenny looked at that expression and smiled mischievously for a moment.
“Oh, I can’t help it. Normally, most people feel relieved when they hear this.”
“….”
It seemed like this woman must have had a personality just as dangerous as the fast track that had just left.
