Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 694

The Witch and the Mage Tower (8)

Huge flames filled the lobby of Jenny’s bar.

Waves of jade salt that scorched his gaze poured down like a waterfall over Lennok’s head.

Lennok, staring at the spinning flames, intersects with the shouts of panicked people around him.

“half!”

“What is this… … !!”

“Tatiana, stop now!”

While Jenny shouted in a shrill voice, Tatiana also gnashed her teeth and raised her mana.

However, the phoenix shimmering in my hand only stretched out its shape, stood up, and slowly approached Lennok.

Breaking into a cold sweat, Tatiana shook her head desperately at Lennok.

“no. The tower owner succession process is working, so with my authority… … !!”

“Then, why did Ban inherit the Master of the Mage Tower… … !! Ha, this is not the time to worry about such things.”

Jenny, who had been shouting that, gnashed her teeth and shook her head.

It wouldn’t be surprising if Lennok suddenly confessed that he had the qualifications and ability to become the owner of the Mage Tower.

He just does what he has to do, as long as he doesn’t know if Lennok is ready for this sudden turn of events.

“I’m going to open the windows and vents and lower the temperature. I’ll bring a one-time fire extinguishing item, so block it from inside the lobby as much as possible!!”

In the meantime, the spinning flames were compressed in an instant, leaving only Lennok and the Phoenix. It turned into a circular passage connecting the roads.

The moment when a passage of fire passes through consciousness, when all surrounding objects cannot be seen at all.

[Entering the solar system.]

Quaaaaa!!

The haze of flames curved wide and spread around Lennok like a great palace of fire.

A magnificent landscape where endlessly swirling flames roar and burn in distorted space-time.

In an instant, Lennok stepped from the middle of the bar into the Palace of Fire and looked around in silence.

‘Is it a mental space created by forcibly injecting flames into consciousness?’

It is a miracle that raises the image of the will of the artifact called the Phoenix Hall as it is and unfolds it in front of the target.

Rather than forcibly constructing the scene of imagery in reality like the realm of magnetism, on the contrary, it is a method of dragging the object to the other side of the virtual space of consciousness.

Roaring!!!

A magnificent palace of flame that burns space and time.

A gigantic eight-pronged sun altar that burns endlessly on the other side.

Koo Goo Goo!!!

Above the altar, the sun, each with a different light and form, was constantly emitting light and burning.

There is also a sun that burns intensely and emits heat, and there is also a sun that loses its power and stumbles and goes out.

There was a luminous body that was not even in the shape of the sun, and the sun did not even exist on some altars.

And right next to it is the empty ninth altar.

A gigantic phoenix coiled above the altar of void looked down at Lennok.

“… … .”

Flutter!!

The firebird that flew from Tatiana’s fingertips slowly approached Lennok.

Like a bird that has found a new nest, this elegant gesture seems to melt into Lennok’s inner self.

[Complete judgment of aptitude factor. Official succession process in progress.]

[Welcome to the ninth sun, Heir.]

Calm prosperity, which is in direct contrast to flame-type magic that burns everything.

The moment when a huge phoenix with its wings wide open was about to jump into Lennok with a voice that rang in his brain.

Lennok raised one hand and stopped the firebird as it was.

Chi profit!!!

The shield applied to his fingertips was crushed and melted under the pressure, but he still couldn’t feel the heat in Lennok’s palm.

The phoenix’s gesture of flapping its wings to penetrate into Lennok’s inner world is mixed with doubt.

Soon, he began to struggle, as if trying to give him more strength.

[illusion… … Welcome Wizard… … welcome… … .]

Lennok, who looked at the phoenix fluttering as if this were not the case, spoke.

“I don’t have a body that is strong enough to readily accept thoughts I see for the first time.”

Lennok’s targeted resistance ability frees him from the designation of all spells and spells that exist.

Apart from recognition, the designation itself can be rejected at any time, unless it is deliberately and forcibly accepted.

So, while Lennok allowed himself to enter this conscious space, he prevented the thoughts of the Phoenix Hall from melting.

Although Tatiana brought it herself, this was definitely the power that the previous Mage Tower Master left behind.

If so, there is a high possibility that it will be difficult to handle the aftermath if swallowed hastily at this point.

However, the Phoenix, which did not understand the situation, still tilted its head.

[Handover process error… … Reexamination of aptitude factor judgment.]

[Extreme user recognition complete. Corrective action in progress.]

Awesome!!

The flames burning more intensely became a living physical force, spinning before Lennok’s eyes.

A huge vibration caused the palace of fire surrounding Lennok to tremble. It is a powerful intention that greatly shakes the consciousness itself.

Lennok, who had been quietly listening to the flames of the phoenix, murmured.

“You are aware that I have learned flame magic. What’s more, the tower owner’s succession process… … .”

Lennok laughed as he watched the image of the firebird sway in front of his eyes.

“Did this mean that you were tracking Phoenix Hall in the Magic Tower?”

The legitimacy and symbol of the Mage Tower that Tatiana talked about. The reason why the rosary and Dead Rise under the Mage Tower were tracking this object.

It is the only legacy left behind by the lord of the previous Mage Tower, and an artifact that is more valuable than anything else.

It was only now that Lennok fully understood the meaning of this flame body called the Phoenix Hall.

This was literally the [Seal] itself needed to formally succeed the owner of the Blaver Mage Tower.

Lennok’s eyes sank deeply as he silently gazed at the firebird’s shape.

‘The situation itself is also a problem, but trying to proceed with the tower owner’s succession at this point… … .’

It’s understandable that he reacted to Lennok’s fire magic, but it’s a completely different story that leads to the tower owner’s succession process.

What does it mean that the succession process was initiated for Lennok, ignoring him even though the Blaver Mage Master existed?

Thinking that far, Lennok raised one hand and put it on his wrist.

He pulled the rosary-shaped artifact from his wrist and threw it over the phoenix’s neck.

click!!

[…] … ?]

“I think the priority is to stop and listen to the explanation.”

One of the heritages of the Thousand Dogs, the relics of the Pure Land Shinheon. It has the function of spatial binding, so it is possible to forcibly bind a specific target.

Even if the artifact alone is not enough, if you combine it with Lennok’s will and tie it up –

flaming!!!

At that moment, the shape of the phoenix bent sharply and began to be sucked into Lennok’s forearm where he was wearing a rosary.

Step back from the palace of fire that filled the surroundings and escape the consciousness world in an instant.

At the same time, all the flames that had been burning around Lennok were compressed and died in Lennok’s hands in an instant.

“… … .”

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the stiff faces of Jordan and Tatiana with surprised expressions.

Jenny, who came out from the room behind the bar with a fire extinguisher and other items, shouted with a surprised expression.

“half!”

“It’s almost over.”

Lennox smiled, shaking his left hand lightly.

“I changed the shape in a hurry and tied it up. At this level, the status quo can be maintained within the line where the reaction does not intensify.”

“that… … .”

A bizarre shape of flame that spins like flames that entwine and flow over the skin.

Everyone understood, albeit belatedly, that it was the phoenix’s sentient body that had just escaped from Tatiana’s hands.

Jenny looked at him with a dumbfounded expression, then hurriedly came to her senses and approached her.

“What happened? What was that fire just now?”

“Before that, I think it would be good to hear from Tatiana first.”

Lennok looked away as he said that. Receiving that look, Tatiana shrugged.

“An artifact called Phoenix Hall. It’s not just an artifact or relic. Isn’t it?”

“… … okay.”

Tatiana let out a small sigh and said.

“Phoenix Hall is not a legacy left by the previous Mage Master. His remains, to be exact.”

“It’s harmful… … ?”

At Jenny’s words of disbelief, Tatiana continued.

“On rare occasions, after the death of a very powerful wizard, his thoughts remain and materialize.”

“… … .”

“In the old Mage Tower, generation after generation processes leftover mental substances and uses them as a tool to inherit the authority of the Mage Tower.”

Tatiana nodded, looking at the shape of the flames entwined around Lennok’s forearm.

The materialization of the will left behind after the death of a powerful sorcerer. Lennok had already heard of its existence once.

A substance used by Maya Lenslit in Machine City Machina.

Didn’t he trick the entire machine city by using the consciousness body embedded in the statue of Idupalbi and reach Hermes?

The predecessor of the mage tower was also a mighty wizard who could leave a meaning in the place where he died and disappeared.

“Rather than using this item as a satellite engine, I would rather hand it over to another Mage Tower to ask for preservation, but… … I never thought you would be recognized by the solar system.”

“… … .”

“Since when have you been learning the magic of the mage tower? Did you really succeed in overcoming the hierarchy with flame magic?”

Hearing Tatiana’s question as if he couldn’t believe it, Lennok fell into deep thought.

Tatiana’s explanation was not very different from Lennok’s speculation, but rather, it was because there were several facts to be reconsidered.

According to her words, it is tantamount to saying that the current owner of the tower tried to sell it as a satellite engine rather than cherishing the Phoenix Hall, which is necessary for the succession of the authority of the magic tower.

That must mean that the current Mage Tower owner doesn’t have as much positive feelings about the succession of the Mage Tower’s authority.

What facts can we learn about the tower owner through him?

“half. I need an answer.”

Tatiana asked with a slightly stiff expression.

“If you really obtained the qualifications to be the rightful heir to the Mage Tower, then I… … .”

“I don’t know either.”

Lennok replied.

“It’s not that I can’t guess at all, but I don’t understand the situation clearly enough to be sure.”

“… … The tower owner’s right to succeed is not simply triggered by transcending the hierarchy.”

Tatiana explained.

“In order to enter the Solar System, you must at least acquire an image strong enough to enter its halls-” “I

obtained similar powers by chance. I guess that’s why I’m qualified.”

“… … how?”

Lennok replied shamelessly.

“I came and picked it up.”

“… … .”

The answer that seemed to have a steel plate on their face made the others look speechless, but Lennok knew that this was at least the best way to deal with it.

Due to the existence of the Phoenix Hall, it was no longer possible to hide the fact that Lennok had learned the flame series’ unique magic or had obtained the qualifications of a pagoda master.

Rather than vaguely evasive words, it would be better to say that there is a certain reason and cannot answer.

“… … okay. Of course, there must be a reason I can’t tell you. It’s not something I can say without explaining the history of the Phoenix Hall.”

Tatiana, who had been looking at Lennok with an indescribable expression, sighed as if she understood.

Lennok looked at him and nodded.

“You must have a reason.”

“The inside circumstances of the Magic Tower and the authority of the tower owner are intricately intertwined. As long as he maintains the position of the rosary, he cannot escape the prohibition of not disclosing the internal circumstances of the tower.”

Tatiana answered, looking at Lennok’s forearm.

“Originally, it is impossible to touch unless it is the same rosary. so… … .”

“That’s why you were able to come out with the Phoenix Hall. And how you hid it.”

Lenok realized that Tatiana was able to escape with the phoenix and escape from the Mage Tower’s surveillance only after handling the phoenix.

She did not carry the Phoenix Hall separately sealed or concealed.

Tatiana had melted that power directly into her body in order to bring back the legacy of the previous Mage Master.

Lennok laughed and shook his head.

“I could have died the second I tried. You took a reckless gamble.”

If it is the substance left behind by the death of the archmage, it is no different from a magical weapon containing tremendous magical power and power.

It was an idea that could not be attempted with a sober mind to have such a thing spilled into the body without permission to inherit it.

It would be absurd to say that Tatiana completed the hierarchy of flame magic and inherited the authority of the rosary.

If my calculations and judgment had gone awry, even the slightest bit, I would have died in pain burning in my veins.

However, Tatiana nodded as if Lennok’s words were natural.

“If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to escape Master’s eyes.”

“… … .”

“I’m going to say it now, but my teacher is a very meticulous person. In an obscure way, he would have already been discovered and chased down.”

Did he reach the Balkans with his sober mind while melting the Phoenix Hall in his veins and mixing it with his blood?

After all, it must have been because he threw such a reckless move that he was able to hide the power of the Phoenix Hall and escape.

In fact, it was as if the phoenix had assimilated with Tatiana, so she couldn’t notice anything more than that.

Lennok, who had come up with that, looked back on her whereabouts and asked.

“I guess that’s why it was difficult to fight. It must have been difficult to move the mana if that kind of artifact was dissolved in the body.”

“that’s right. Of course, it is true that flame magic has been adjusted to some extent so that it is specialized for saturation systems, but… … .”

Tatiana laughed.

“I had no intention of destroying the magic system to such an extent that I could not take care of myself on the battlefield where anything might happen.”

“The last time I used magic through blood… … .”

Lennok, who quietly recalled his memories, nodded belatedly.

Right before the battle with Harfman and Malacia, Tatiana tried to use magic using her own blood.

At that time, Lennok thought that Tatiana was going to use blood magic that cuts down on her lifespan, but in fact, she was trying to use the power of the phoenix that was dissolved in her blood.

“It was reckless, but I thought maybe I might succeed. It’s not just a powerful artifact.”

said Tatiana, watching the waves of flame ripple over Lennok’s forearm.

“It is an object that contains the will of the previous tower owner. I thought it wouldn’t be unreasonable for them to change their form and coexist if they properly responded to his support.”

“… … .”

“I didn’t expect to be attached to you as if I had waited.”

An acknowledgment that he risked his life against a low possibility. But Lennok didn’t say anything to her anymore.

It was because he could see that Tatiana had a strong determination for this job.

It must have been difficult for her to bear the fact that the wizards who were with her were being ground as materials for engines.

“I could endure being killed in a failed operation or repeating meaningless sacrifices being thrown into the discard pile.”

muttered Tatiana.

“Because I knew I had to go to war when I entered the Magic Tower, and I never had any complaints. but… … .”

A vague hatred seemed to seep through the red hair.

“… … But I can’t turn my men on like this. Even death can be accepted if it has meaning, but this… … .”

The figure of Tatiana, who was silent as if speechless.

“Tatiana.”

Jenny quietly tapped his shoulder with a calm expression. Tatiana smiled bitterly and shook her head.

“You said something useless. Even if I talk about this now, I can only spit it out… … .”

“Everyone needs a moment like that.”

Lennox nodded as he watched Jordan comfort her with soft words.

“I can see it for sure, though. This is something worth paying for.”

“… … .”

“It is an artifact that can change the surrounding environment not only by inheriting the authority of the Magic Tower, but also by its existence itself. Look.”

Lennok slightly loosened the rosary that bound his arm and raised his hand.

The moment I put my left hand on a nearby table.

damn… … !!

The wooden table dried up and twisted, then collapsed into a handful of ash.

“Why? If it’s something the owner of the mage tower left behind, isn’t it natural for it to be that hot?”

“It’s not simply because of the heat emitted from the Phoenix Hall. It’s entering the solar system and using the energy and magic power of the Mage Tower.”

said Lennok, who raised his hand.

“There must be a reason you wanted to use this object as an engine in Dead Rise and the Magic Tower.”

Realizing the meaning, Jenny and Jordon’s expressions slightly changed, while Lennok nodded as he reloaded the rosary.

“This is practically the cornerstone for creating a new mage tower above the atmosphere.”
