Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 678

Central Council Senate (6)

Every time the huge pupils illuminated above the card rotate, the blackout screen breaks at a rapid pace.

A miracle that completely reveals its gaze and at the same time distorts all surrounding space-time at a destructive speed.

The song of the end that collapses the mind with just a glance and allows only worship in immeasurable madness.

Awesome!!!

“… … !!!”

Now I see the astrologer convulsing, unable to even scream.

If we keep going like this, sooner or later the blackout will collapse and Lennok will return to reality.

But even though Lennok knew that fact, he tried to keep an eye on the eyes of foreign media until the very end.

Why did the unreal end of the open sea appear at this point?

Because I had to replace out if the gaze was shining on this spot on the astrologer’s card.

Quickly scan the eyes projected on the card.

A gigantic gaze as if wandering through the air, constantly wriggling its wounded pupils.

Just by witnessing that pupil’s radiance right in front of my eyes, my body stiffened and felt as if I was dying.

But even in the midst of it, Lennok realized that even this gaze was no match for the power he felt at the handbook’s well.

‘Because it appeared by borrowing a picture on a card, the power isn’t as great as I thought.’

Originally, it would not be strange if the entire space-time of this place was distorted at the point when the gaze of foreign media arrived.

However, the reason why the power of that gaze has stopped to this extent is because he is looking at this place in the picture of the card that reflects the constellations.

Because it is a power that is once deteriorated and reflected in the form of a distant distance and a picture, Lennok can also endure.

And because of that, Lennok was able to notice one thing in the gaze of his eyes looking at this place.

‘I’m not watching. This… … .’

The eyes of a foreign correspondent rotating irregularly inside the card.

However, if he had been looking for Lennok from the beginning, would there be any reason to move his eyes?

The end floating in the open sea does not accurately recognize Lennok’s location and identity and is watching him.

Through astrology that projects the constellations, he is trying to replace Lennok in reverse.

‘Why?’

Why can’t I see Lennok right in front of me, even though I’m directing my gaze all the way here through the concept of the card?

The moment Lennok recalled that question in a corner of his mind.

The blackout screen, unable to withstand the gaze, was completely shattered and the astrologer’s body was thrown out.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaac!!”

Wow Jangchang!!

At the same time the expression of the lawmakers who were watching the situation from the outside changed dramatically, the door to the meeting building opened and soldiers rushed out.

“Senator!!”

“It’s okay… … !!”

Contrary to the astrologer who collapsed on the floor and had seizures, the soldiers stopped walking when they saw Lennok standing still.

The soldiers, who finished their judgment in an instant, aimed their firearms at Lennok in unison.

“Wizard. Put your hands above your head!!”

“Put down your cane and bow your head!!”

“Move now!!”

“I know what you’re thinking, but wouldn’t it be better to save this person first?”

Lennok looked at the astrologer, who collapsed and convulsed with his cane.

Her complexion, wriggling and unable to breathe properly, was already dyed purple.

“I think it’s already a little too late.”

“Damn it… … !!”

Soldiers quickly laid the astrologer down properly, secured an airway, and began administering first aid.

Seeing if the medical unit is moving together, he uses a healing technique and an emergency kit at the same time to improve his condition.

“My heartbeat is completely out of whack. I can’t even breathe.”

“The lungs are punctured and oxygen is forced through them. Get ready.”

“Electric shock relieves myocardial paralysis and forcibly resets the nervous system. 3 2 1!!”

Dismissed!!

“done!!”

“Put it on the cradle and move it. Go straight to the ward!!”

The medical unit takes the astrologer and moves right away, and the remaining soldiers encircle Lennok at gunpoint.

Even the appearance of superhumans who are wary of the soldiers behind them with an expression of disbelief.

Among them, Armand, who had brought Lennok to this point, could be seen.

The chairman, who had been observing the situation in the meeting room in silence, only then glanced at Mayer.

“Senator Mayer. Can you explain what happened?”

“… … I don’t know what else to say. Is this really real?”

Mayer struggled back with a choked expression on her face, took a moment to catch her breath, and then opened her mouth.

The fact that the astrologer failed to predict fate and collapsed after seeing the landscape reflected on the card.

There is something that makes you go crazy just looking at it right in front of you, and even the situation that the astrologer couldn’t stand.

Upon hearing Mayer’s brief explanation, the Senate fell silent.

“What do you think of Van?”

The chairman, who had been silent all this time, asked Lennok.

“I’d like to hear what you think about the results of fortune telling.”

“… … .”

Lennok, instead of replying, was silent, pensive.

The other council members and Silford also silently watched the scene.

But as time passed, the words that came out of Lennok’s mouth were of a completely different kind than they expected.

“It’s not like fortune telling.”

“… … What are you talking about?”

“Because the fortune-telling did not work, on the contrary, the source of the magic operation was illuminated in reverse.”

Since astrology did not work for Lennok’s target designation resistance ability, the astrology formula that lost its purpose reached the root of the formula by repeating idle cycles.

It is a side effect that the gaze of foreign media suddenly appeared in this place.

But what does it mean that the source of such an idling technique reached the end of the open sea?

What does it mean that the power of astrology, which illuminates fate through constellations, is directed toward foreign sources?

The power to communicate directly with the mighty will that exists on the other side of the open sea, and to download and project a portion of it.

“I’ve seen abilities of this kind before.”

“… … .”

Lennox’s gaze fell coldly.

“You weren’t even an astrologer to begin with. Are you imitating the supernormal abilities of priestesses of the church and using them?”

Izel Naidri, the head of the Far East Branch of the Guido Church and a former priestess.

And the priestess of the existing church that we met at the handbook well.

Having met the two, Lennok could see that the astrologer he had just encountered was similar in nature to them.

A method of directly communicating with the will of the open sea and borrowing its power to predict the fate of mortals.

But what does it mean that the priestess’ ability is held and handled by the Senate, not by the church?

What Silford meant when he said that astrologers are no different from souvenirs.

The reason why Lennok’s ability was similar to that of a priestess, but the power itself seemed distinctly low.

“Through the failure of the Black Consumer Project, you have obtained the power that is close to a subordinate substitute for a priestess.”

“… … .”

Kaise repeated all the failures in the world, tried to replace an answer that did not exist, and piled up infinite data on the test field.

Among the by-products of the project’s failure, there were also astrologers who imitated the supernormal abilities of priestesses of the church.

A meeting hall in silence. But no one is surprised or agitated by Lennok’s words.

That fact itself proved that Lennok’s question was correct.

“I think that’s why I said it over and over again.”

Silford smiled and nodded as if he knew that.

“You won’t even be able to get your money’s worth this way. You weren’t wrong at all, were you?”

The moment I realized that it was cynicism directed at others, not Lenok.

The chairman opened his mouth.

“At the end of a long war… … We have obtained many spoils that are not as good as ours.”

“… … .”

“What I realized through trading is that only certain fortune-telling can come under our awareness… … .”

Indifferent black eyes passed Lennok.

“But that’s why you can use it to observe and confirm things that don’t change.”

“Confirmation?”

“Be aware of the dangers outside. The inexplicable fact that it is coming.”

“… … .”

“If you perceive it correctly, you will be accompanied by the banner of this city wherever you walk.”

Only then did Lennok realize what the Chairman was thinking.

He had no intention of judging for himself from the start whether Lennok was, or intended to be, a threat to the order of the city.

He was just trying to ascertain which way Lennok’s thoughts were pointing.

In the process, it didn’t matter whether the astrologer was thrown away like a consumable or the result of human experimentation due to the project’s failure.

Is there no need to worry about whether Lennok will be a threat at the point of confirming that he is wary of foreign media?

Cheeky!!

The chairman, who stood up from his seat, said without any regrets, holding a dark gray overcoat.

“I checked everything that needed to be checked. One more question and I’ll be done.”

“what?”

“There is something I want to entrust you with. It is only possible for you.”

The chairman’s eyes shone brightly.

“Among the senators, there is one who has been directly contacted and eaten by outside forces.”

“… … .”

Lennok, who belatedly understood the meaning of the words, tilted his head.

It was because I thought that what the chairman meant now was so unrealistic.

Do you mean that there is a senator who has been in direct contact with the power of the foreign press and has been eroded by it?

It doesn’t make sense to have direct contact with those ends, but it’s hard to believe that the Central Council still ‘keeps’ such a member.

The chairman asked again, not caring about Lennok’s reaction.

“Are you thinking of meeting me?”

“What is the price?”

“I will grant permission for the creation of the Magic Tower in the name of the Central Council. It is, in effect, the power to create a new extraterritorial realm in this city.”

“… … .”

The chairman laughed at Lennok, who didn’t answer.

“Whether you want it or not, it’s not a bad privilege to have.”

* * *

Crack!!

Lennok got on the elevator that descended endlessly underground.

Mayer, who had followed Lennok, sighed and opened his mouth.

“Half was too reckless. Do you know?”

“I know.”

“I thought you were going to kill the astrologer on the spot.”

“There is no reason for that. Wasn’t it all planned from the beginning?”

“… … .”

Mayer, speechless, laughed dejectedly.

“… … Did you already notice?”

“I can at least understand that you are sharing the legacy of the project with the Senate. I don’t think the chairman had any intention of hiding it.”

The senators, including the chairman, could not directly see the eyes of foreign media shining on this spot.

However, the fact that the astrologer had gone mad had made her guess that her fortune-telling had illuminated somewhere on the other side of the open sea.

That’s why he realizes that Lennok is interested in the monsters of the open sea while being wary of them.

He has been suggesting that it would be nice to meet a senator who has been eroded by foreign media.

To be honest, the Central Council also has its own goals, so it must have been trying to promote this meeting.

I’d be lying if I said that Lennok wasn’t interested either.

‘Even if I don’t need permission for the creation of the Magic Tower right now, there’s nothing wrong with getting it.’

Right now, I don’t think much of it, but if Lennok starts teaching the Ouroboros magic system properly, the story will change.

To build the first ivory tower in this huge city and gather all talents and aptitudes to complete a sphere of influence.

[Whoops… … !]

“… … .”

It seemed like a plan that the spirit with a questionable grin in his arms would much prefer it to Lennok.

“Originally, I came along to explain the situation to you separately… … .”

Mayer sighed and raised her gaze.

“I don’t think there’s any need for elaborate stories. Just know one thing.”

“What is it?”

“The current Senate President is a great man who puts the greatest value on the existence of the Central Council. He’s ready to do anything for him.”

“… … .”

“One of the founders of the city, who has been guarding the council for decades. Originally, he didn’t have that kind of personality, but he’s been through a lot of things and he’s changed a lot.”

Could it be that the words he threw while pressuring Lennok through the deal between Makina and Vulcan weren’t all lies?

“I mean, even this meeting about you may be a way to reconcile opinions within the senate, which is divided.”

“I know you want to make me a cause.”

Tiring!!

replied Lennok, who opened the elevator door and ushered Mayer inside.

“I hear about the deal. Could you describe the senator?”

“Reisen Azamaha. Do you remember?”

A bit of an odd name. But it’s a name I’ve never heard of.

Lennok, who immediately found the name in his memory, nodded.

“You are a senator who used to be called the trumpeter of the city council. I remember being arrested by an agent for conspiring with a black magician and stealing slush funds.”

Reisen Azamaha.

A famous senator at the time Lennok entered the city, a powerful man who made good use of the media and gained popularity with a friendly image.

Because of this, he often took the role of representing the council’s decisions, earning him the nickname of the city council’s bugler.

I remember being arrested by an agent for stealing the central council’s slush fund in collusion with the black magician Craig Tillian.

Although he had never seen his face in person, Lennok also remembered his name while dealing with warlocks with Evelyn.

Mayer nodded.

“A recent audit revealed that the slush funds that Reisen siphoned off existed beyond what was discovered.”

“… … .”

“And in the process of investigating Reisen, I found out that he had already reached an irreversible point.”

“Are you saying that it has already been encroached upon by an outside force?”

“It is not something I would recommend. In the first place, Reisen right now can’t be seen as a decent human being. But the reason the Senate brought this up to you… … .”

Mayer said.

“Looks like Reisen wants to meet you in person.”

Weeing!!

At that moment, the door of the elevator opened, revealing a landscape of a lush forest.
