Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 693

The Witch and the Mage Tower (7)

-The life torch of the rosary of the Blaber Mage Tower has been cut off.

Dark office nearing evening.

A chair in the middle of a dusty room that looks like it hasn’t been used for a very long time.

A woman sitting at the end of it was watching the distant sunset with her head bowed.

Through the communication line roughly connected to the floor, only a blunt male voice continued to resonate.

– Judging from the fact that the on-site report of 3rd Malacia accompanied by him has not been uploaded, it is judged that he died during the operation. We are considering a new on-site dispatch staff.

the silent woman asked.

“What’s the command’s opinion?”

– I want you to move up the schedule as soon as possible.

the man answered.

-After it was confirmed that the dry fifth lighthouse ignored part of the curtain of the central front in the blue eye, it seems that there are a lot of forces feeling a sense of crisis.

“… … .”

-The wall that recently joined, Yanicus Barbaria, is guarding the lighthouse. It seems that some have already proposed negotiations on the condition of borrowing the ability of the lighthouse.

“Hmm… … .”

-It seems that you can eat the warlords only if you complete the satellite as quickly as possible and succeed in the demonstration.

A satellite launched from Balkan and capable of observing the central front.

Using the mind and body of a talented wizard who was active in war as a material, he processed it into an engine and even completed a deal with the Mage Tower to secure a power source.

A gambler who risked a great deal of blood loss. However, if successful, it could drastically change the landscape of forces outside the central front.

Everything was going smoothly.

Until the rosary of the Blaber Mage’s Tower took the ‘power source’ and ran away from the Mage’s Tower.

“Have you heard anything from the tower owner?”

the woman asked.

-… … I was only told to resolve issues that were not expected on my own.

“It’s still the same.”

The woman gave a cold sneer at the man’s words.

“You say that your student is ruining a business in which hundreds of billions of cells are invested, but you still have no intention of going out on your own?”

-Don’t you know where the top owner is currently powering?

The man said as if he was in trouble.

-Without him, the first gateway to Arsnova would be completely closed. It would be difficult to use your hands right now.

“… … .”

Blaver Magic Tower. An archmage who transcends the hierarchy and transcends humans with his flame-related magic.

Contrary to his reputation of wielding a hellish jade flame, the tower owner is well known as a cruel and cunning person.

But when he volunteered to supply power to the gateway to the central city, he seemed to be taking a loss.

Now, it is a situation where no one can easily replace it.

That is why Blaver’s magic tower intervened on the frontlines and obtained the position of a strange neutral while taking advantage.

It was because of him that he was able to make a deal with the Magic Tower and enter the satellite production business, but now that a problem arose, that fact was holding him back.

The woman was silent in response to the man’s communication, and then opened her mouth again after a while.

“Stockton. Do you remember how long ago we were back in this city?”

-… … The years spent on the central front must have been so long.

A man called Stockton answered.

-Even if it was short, I think it would have been about 15 years.

“okay. So much time has already passed since I was active in this city at that time.”

-… … .

“Look here. A reserve office used by the headquarters. It is not being managed properly.”

The woman laughed bitterly as she brushed the dust between the armrests of her chair with her fingers.

“I thought it would stay the same over time, but I was wrong. All the caretakers we left behind in the city thought we wouldn’t be coming back.”

-… … Chief Peysha?

“I don’t think you can rewrite a person.”

Slowly rising from the chair, the hardening blood drips down the shadow of Peisha.

The blood that flowed down to her feet ran through the window of the office, which was soon darkening, and stained the windowpane red.

“So I’m going to throw away all the old and broken things. either human or object.”

Dozens of corpses piled up like a mountain behind Peisha who turned her gaze away.

All of them are cut into pieces as if cut by an invisible knife, and their breath is stopped.

Managers entrusted with asset management while Dead Rise’s main force left the city and moved on the central front.

As soon as Peisha returned, she called them and slaughtered them all.

Stockton, who belatedly realized the meaning of Peisha’s words, gave a small sigh.

-If the headquarters replaces out, the director will definitely be held accountable.

“doesn’t care.”

Peysha laughed.

“How long has it been since Bajour-nim entered the public life that we have to sit by and watch things develop like this?”

-… … .

“Since I’m back here, I won’t let go of a single mistake.”

Chaeng!!

When the chair was kicked, the glass windows of the office were shattered, and blood pooled under the old building dripped down.

A strange sight, as if the entire building were shedding bloody tears of regret.

“Did you say how long it would take for the satellite to be completed?”

-… … If it’s a week or so.

“Cut it down to three days. I will cut the head of the person in charge for every additional day.”

Reaching between the corpses casually, she took out a dazzling spear and held it.

The length of the spear blade is so long that it seems to pierce the ceiling far beyond Peisha’s height.

A gigantic spear of enormous length that seems difficult to even hold and wield with two hands.

Even though it was buried between the corpse and the blood, there was not a single stain or blood on the blade.

A neat Changgeuk, as if it had sucked all the life and blood from a pile of corpses.

Peisha, who lightly twisted her wrist and held the spearhead in reverse, said.

“Kill Tatiana Chiglet within three days and secure the Phoenix Hall. The rest of the officials hang themselves on satellites and launch them.”

-… … .

“I have to show it clearly this time.”

Peisha’s eyes shone bleakly as she swiped the spear blade with her other hand.

“So that they will not forget us, just as we have not forgotten this city.”

* * *

Click!!

The thick iron door opens and a man with green hair walks out.

Lennok asked, seeing the man walking up to the bar with his hair tousled.

“How are you?”

“It was much easier than I thought.”

Kilian, a pure-blooded werewolf, replied by taking a bite of the tobacco Lennok had thrown.

“Because he’s a smart guy, he gives up quickly. When I asked, he answered me obediently.”

Leaning against the bar counter, he sighed and puffed out smoke.

“I just came up for a while because I wanted to avoid pain by answering only the questions that were really asked, so I thought I should know more and ask questions.”

Kilian is a werewolf belonging to the military company Dyke Corporation, and is experienced in harsh work including torture.

Rather than creating a threatening atmosphere, Lennok ordered an expert, Killian, to interrogate the captured Harpman.

It’s been quite a while, so I thought I might not be able to reach you, but as soon as Kilian heard the news, he ran to District 49 in one step.

That’s probably because the news Lennok mentioned is a topic that even the Dyke Corporation can’t ignore.

“Half that news, so is it really real?”

Killian, who was slightly looking at Lennok, asked.

“Is Dead Rise coming back?”

The Dyke Corporation is actively involved in the shadowy arms industry with the help of Lennok a long time ago.

For those who sell illegally manufactured firearms in the back alleys of the Balkans, the return of Dead Rise must be very nerve-wracking.

It was no wonder that Kilian, who heard the news, ran straight to the bar and quietly cooperated.

“Based on the circumstances, it is almost certain. However, the main unit does not return directly.”

Lennok calmly explained.

“It seems that only a few key executives have returned to the Balkans for some business.”

“name is? I think I’ll be able to interrogate you more specifically if I know the name.”

“that… … .”

“Paisha Grisburn.”

Tatiana sat silently at the counter with bandages and healing formulas wrapped all over her body.

“This is the only name I have heard.”

A comment from the lowly Tatiana. However, the reaction of others who heard the name was completely different.

“… … Paisha? Peisha is back?”

Killian muttered in disbelief, and Jenny’s face became even more serious.

Even Jordan, who was silently listening to the story, doesn’t seem to be able to easily manage his expression.

“Are you famous?”

“You don’t know? no it is… … .”

Kirlian questioned Lennok as if he was rather dumbfounded, but soon nodded as if he understood himself.

“Sometimes you forget what kind of wizard you are. Did you enter the city only after Dead Rise left?”

“You’re a demon known for being the most ferocious in Dead Rise.”

Jenny explained instead.

“You?”

“He uses many abilities possessed by demons, and he is also very famous as a murderer who delights in killing people.”

Tatiana continued.

“Hiring the murderous Cerberus Corps would be entirely her taste. Paisha likes them very much. maybe… … .”

Along with him, other people’s eyes naturally converge on Lennok.

Recognizing the meaning of that wink, Lennok frowned in silence.

“Maybe you’ll be interested in me?”

“Well, not necessarily, but… … .”

It’s been a while since the rumor about the blood-crazed wizard became more famous than the person concerned.

Others slightly averted their gaze at Lennok’s reaction.

Jenny cleared her throat and said.

“Probably not someone you don’t know at all. Beck Clinton’s mentor was Peisha.”

“… … Beck Clinton? You mean that guy from the cigar-bang gang?”

Lennok immediately remembered the name and asked back.

The mighty Changsha I encountered when I had just entered this city.

He is a member of Cigar Bang, who was familiar with Jenny to some extent, and a superman who died tied to the clock tower after a battle with Lennok.

Did Peisha Grisburn teach her how to fight by inheriting the power of various animals called the spirits of her ancestors?

“Right. Why did Beck know you… … .”

If Peisha was one of the co-workers who had been alive since the time she was with Kaise, and had been taking Beck as an apprentice, it wouldn’t be strange that she was acquainted with Jenny.

I don’t know what happened between Jenny, who was left behind after Kaise’s death, and the Dead Rise executives, but it’s

not like they didn’t completely try to contact Jenny, Kaise’s granddaughter.

“Not only does it kill people every day, but it doesn’t discriminate between criminals and civilians, so there are many people who know its name.”

Killian coughed and added.

“In the past, there were times when no one could do anything about it, even though they knew it was Peisha’s work.”

“I wasn’t like that in the first place.”

Jordan, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth.

“There’s no point in talking about it now, but she’s changed a lot after receiving the karma of her own actions.”

“… … .”

“I don’t mean to defend Peysha. but… … .”

Jordan shook his head in silence, his expression blurred. The others were also silent, unable to answer.

Jordan is one of the elder members who was with Jenny as well as Kaise in his lifetime.

He must have known for a long time the executives of Dead Rise who had been with Kaise.

But Jordan’s way of addressing Peysha didn’t seem to be at the level of being familiar with her.

“But I never thought that she would come back first… … After leaving like that, I thought it would be difficult to come back.”

As Jenny muttered something curious, Tatiana raised her gaze.

She asked, looking tired as she touched the bandages all over her body.

“It was quite a while before I met that woman on the central front. What happened in Balkan?”

“Right before Dead Rise advanced to the central front, there was a major clash with the Antares mercenaries.”

Jenny answered.

“In the process, Peisha had a one-on-one battle with Antares… … I was defeated.”

“… … .”

“I heard that the spine was completely broken and went to the brink of death. Or-”

“I have confidence that I can win even if I meet Antares again.”

Lennox’s last words left the audience in silence.

It was because she realized how dangerous Peisha Grisburn was.

Killian let out a small sigh, nodded, and stood up again.

“First of all, I’ll beat that guy named Harpman some more to extract information. I know about Peisha, so I should be able to at least check the facts.”

It was only after Kylian disappeared into the basement of the bar that Jenny turned her attention to Tatiana.

“Now I want to hear a proper explanation. Why the hell did they come back? What’s your relationship with Tatiana?”

Lennok looked away.

“Would it be better for me to do it?”

“… … no. I do.”

After Tatiana exhaled with difficulty, she explained in detail what had happened.

The fact that the blue eye is rapidly organizing the external power structure of the central front.

That Dead Rise is working with Blaver’s Magic Tower to create a satellite that uses humans as material.

Even the fact that they promised to supply materials and power sources from the Mage Tower, but Tatiana broke the contract and ran away.

“I see. The lighthouse in the blue eye… … .”

“… … .”

Lennok silently looked away at Jenny’s muttering words.

“After Cheon Gyeon’s death, I thought he had completely lost his life, but he is actually much more proactive.”

“That’s why I’m being held back so badly. The reason why this situation happened in the first place… … .”

Tatiana nodded.

“So I stole the Phoenix Hall and tried to delay the satellite production. Even if you don’t need anything else to build an engine, you will definitely need this item.”

As the supernormal ability reaches the central front of the newly built lighthouse from the blue eye, other organizations that are wary of it are sequentially continuing this and that.

Was the story about Lapis’ supernormal ability that Ibelin was talking about?

But Lennok didn’t even think that the aftermath of what started with the blue eyes would reach this far.

“What are you going to do with the class?”

Jenny turned her gaze to Lennok.

“If I intervene, I will help, but neither the company nor the mercenary group can help.”

“Why?”

“Yeah… … Everyone is out at sea right now.”

“… … .”

At Lennox’s silent gaze, Jenny cleared her throat, seemingly slightly embarrassed.

“Hmmmm, we plan to rotate after the distribution network is normalized. After the business system is established, we will hire specialized personnel separately. However, just leaving the seat right now… … Isn’t this source of income a joke these days?”

“I didn’t say anything.”

Jordon laughed softly next to Jenny, who was stabbed for no reason and ran out of control.

Tatiana also just shook her head with a wry smile beside her.

After thinking for a moment, Lennok opened his mouth again.

“Tatiana. Can we take a look at the thing called the Phoenix Hall?”

“… … .”

“I heard that the object was originally planned to be used as a power source for the satellite.”

As Lennok said, he looked up.

“Even if anti-gravity technology is used, very strong energy will be required to launch a satellite and put it in line of sight to the central front. It must be an artifact with tremendous output.”

I mean lightly, but the distance from the Balkans to the central front is so far and so steep that it is difficult to explain simply in writing.

Nevertheless, if the satellite launched from the Balkans can observe the central front, it will have to be launched until just before it leaves the open sea.

In this world where human power cannot go out to the sea, that in itself is tantamount to challenging a great miracle.

It was hard to believe that Tatiana had stolen the item by herself and that she had been hiding it all this time.

That’s why Lennok wanted to check the thing called the Phoenix Hall.

“Around the bar, there are 888 types of overlapping security barriers.”

said Lennok as if persuading her.

“As long as you show it in front of me, I can manage that energy or direction so that it doesn’t spill out, so don’t worry.”

“888 species? When did you set the security barrier so shaggy?”

“jenny. Shaggy.”

While Jordan spoke politely, Tatiana nodded and stood up.

“It is not difficult. Wasn’t this what you were trying to do from the start?”

“… … .”

“Let’s do our best not to be disturbed this time.”

Tatiana laughed, put the knife to the back of her hand again, and drew a magic circle on the floor with blood.

This time, Lennok is also assisting through intentions from the side and completely blocking outside interference.

Hot fresh blood gathered one by one in the air as if supported by an invisible force.

The bright red blood clumped together and floated before Tatiana’s eyes, and soon began to change into a specific shape.

“… … This.”

A small red crystal that could fit in one hand.

Receiving the crystal with both hands, Tatiana very carefully stepped forward and showed it to everyone.

“This is the Hall of the Phoenix, which was left behind by the previous Mage Master of Blaver.”

Its beautiful and sophisticated appearance, resembling the head of a small bird, is impressive.

A beautiful red thought that rotates in it without rest, as if a flame is alive and moving inside the crystal.

The Palace of the Phoenix. True to its name, the crystalline body with the head of a phoenix was attractive even to Lennok.

“Can you explain in detail the powers of the Phoenix Hall and where it is used?”

The moment Lennok took a step forward and stretched out his hand to the phoenix while saying that.

“I need to know the meaning of the phoenix in advance to estimate the production location of the satellite-”

[Check the user of the flame-type unique magic play.]

The phoenix held in Tatiana’s hand opened its mouth.

Before I knew it, the wriggling figure of a firebird was looking straight at Lennok.

A pub immersed in serene silence. Tatiana broke out in a cold sweat.

“… … what?”

[Recognition of aptitude factor complete. Succession conditions for the ninth tower owner are met.]

“Now, wait a minute. This is… … !!”

[The handover begins.]

Roaring!!

At that moment, a fire broke out in the middle of the bar and poured over Lennok’s head in an instant.
