Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 727

Wizard and Mage Tower (4)

Jenny’s bar located in District 49.

The spacious lobby is bustling with customers at any time of the day.

As usual, people with glasses are talking across the full table.

A neutral zone where you can relatively quickly get in touch with all sorts of messy news happening in the shadows of a megalopolis.

However, the rumors going up and down in people’s mouths today were not about requests or events.

“Did you hear the news?”

“You mean the Antares mercenaries? I heard you’ve become a fisherman.”

“You have Camilla. Mad woman with that shotgun.”

The man quietly looked around.

“These days, I heard that he has given up commissioning altogether and is focusing on tuna fishing. Wouldn’t that be quite a bit of money?”

“… … okay?”

“I know that the owner of the bar is also working, but it’s better to replace out the unit price at least once-”

At that moment, a quiet voice came from behind the two of them.

“I’m not doing this for money.”

“omg… … !!”

The man startled and looked back, confirmed the owner of the voice, and his face turned pale.

The voice muttered, not paying attention to such a reaction.

“There are things much more important than that. Don’t interfere.”

“Oh, I see. Damn, even if you gossip behind your back… … .”

With embarrassed faces, the customers quickly calculated their drinks and left.

The voice ignored them and silently kept an eye on someone at the end of the bar.

“… … .”

If you cast a glance and turn your head, you pretend not to know.

“… … .”

He quietly peeks at Lennok, who is sitting near the counter, from the other side of the pillar.

I stare at her with a nervous look, and then shamelessly pretend not to know, as if it had never happened before.

Blue hair waving like a tail on the other side of the pillar. In the meantime, he even has a habit of sipping without letting go of his glass.

Knowing who the owner of the gaze was, Lennok focused on tasting Jenny’s new concoction.

Rather, the colleagues around Lennok found this situation awkward.

“I’m asking because I’m really curious.”

Jenny, who was standing in front of Lennok and shaking the shaker, said impatiently.

“Did you lend Mila any money?”

“Can it be?”

“Then why is that idiot acting like he’s gone crazy all of a sudden?”

Took.

While Jenny asked, a glass full of whiskey suddenly slipped under her arm.

Mila approached and handed Lennok a glass full of cocktails.

“… … Hmmm. I’m a bit full.”

When I turned my gaze, I pretended not to know and turned my head and smoked.

It’s not blatant, but it’s clumsy, so it looks like a joke.

Dylan and Felix, sitting on either side of Lennok and discussing the cost-effectiveness of a small tactical vehicle, opened their mouths when they saw it.

“her… … .”

“What am I looking at?”

Dylan stuck out his tongue in amazement.

“Is this guy going to die tomorrow if he concedes his own drink?”

“If Antares foresaw this future, he might have come back and watched it long ago.”

Mila seemed to be irritated by the two teasing, but she held back and turned around.

The figure of her quietly watching Lennok from behind the pillar again.

Everyone’s complexion turned pale at that unusual reaction and attitude.

“… … That’s not Mila. I think I was possessed by a very venomous ghost.”

“I am not usually patient. Shall we visit a famous shaman?”

Looking at the mercenaries who started to seriously worry about Mila, Lennok shook his head.

“I don’t think it was possessed by a ghost. Someone with a similar ability was dealt with a while ago.”

“Then what is it?”

“well… … .”

Lennok laughed.

“I think you should hear it with your own mouth.”

Even after that, Mila began following Lennok like a ghost and subtly showing her favor.

“Hey, weren’t you off duty today?”

“… … Suddenly I want to do something.”

He works harder than usual at the bar and kicks out drunken customers who behave badly.

“Can I clean here too? like this?”

“Oh, be careful washing that window… … !!”

Clink!

They participate in office cleaning, which they have not done in their entire lives, or participate in bodyguard training to become opponents in sparring.

“Hey Wei An. Take a good look at this. This is how you clean a shotgun magazine.”

“For something like that, Mila’s shotgun seems too dirty.”

“… … .”

Using his extensive knowledge of firearms, he inspects the company’s internal equipment and attends morning meetings at the office without hesitation.

Even the mercenaries, who were suspicious of Mila at first, were happy for her change.

“If I’m sick, I’d rather not get better.”

“There could be a real ghost, so if a shaman comes to the bar, I just kick him out.”

“I agree.”

“… … It’s not like that.”

Mila, who endured even the jokes of the mercenaries, who were almost half teased, silently polished the egg of the Guardian Spirit.

[Yum yum.] When

the eggshell is wiped with a towel soaked in potion, the Guardian Spirit Beast makes a satisfying sound.

His colleagues looked at him with an absurd expression as he rolled the eggs around the bar lobby floor.

“It’s good to sell. So, when the hell does that guy hatch?”

“Seeing that he has intelligence, I wonder if there is another reason for not coming out of the egg.”

“Perhaps the consciousness arises first, and then the body is formed inside the egg.”

“Your appetite is too strong for that kind of thing.”

Mila, who worked diligently cleaning the eggs, now feeds the tuna with her familiar hands.

The appearance of a guardian spiritsoo waving an eggshell and receiving and eating tuna.

Even in the middle of it, I’m so quick that I rarely show myself.

“It’s a period of growth.”

“… … .”

But where Mila really worked was her constant devotion to Lennok.

He buys expensive parts or accessories for Lennok’s firearms, or presents expensive whiskey sold at a bar every day.

He handed over the rare liquor stocked at home with trembling hands, or threw his whole body at the Mage Tower construction site to help the workers.

Mila works diligently carrying materials while arguing with Chen, who is in charge of the construction site.

Jenny muttered as she sat on the terrace of the new cafe located in the downtown area and looked down at it.

It was very natural to see her drinking coffee while wearing large-sized sunglasses.

“I’m not even suspicious because my inner self is transparent to that extent.”

“You are an honest person. either to yourself or to others.”

Lennok sat across from me and laughed.

“I can’t hide my feelings, and I don’t even try. It’s not serious, but it’s not without depth.”

So even though Lennok knew why Mila was acting like that, he didn’t feel so mean.

In the end, isn’t he doing it for others, not for himself, in order to look good to Lennok?

“So you won’t have to worry.”

“… … .”

However, Jenny looked at Lennok as if she was rather dumbfounded by those words, then slowly shook her head.

“okay. who cares about whom So, how long do we have to watch that scene?”

“Wait a little.”

Lennok looked over the terrace at Mila as he drank his coffee.

“Because there must be more reasons to work so hard.”

Mila, who never rushed and built up the build-up step by step, finally threw the number of wins.

Early in the morning when the bar’s schedule for the day was over.

It was a brief moment when the number of customers decreased and the lobby of the bar was closed for a while under the pretext of maintenance.

The moment when Antares mercenaries and Jenny’s company employees gathered at scattered tables and chatted.

Click!

Carrying a small box with a determined look on her face, Mila walked toward Lennok.

She took a slow, deep breath, then carefully held the box out towards Lennok.

Lennok, who was sitting back at the table drinking, stopped his hand when he saw the box.

“… … .”

The other mercenaries and Jenny also looked at her with interest.

“Have you finally made up your mind?”

“Now that shit is over? It took a long time.”

“I’m sorry about that, Dylan.”

“Oh shut up!!”

Mila was annoyed and kicked the other co-workers out of the bar.

People who sneak out of the bar pretending they can’t win.

In the meantime, Lennok, who had opened the box, stroked his chin curiously.

“This… … .”

One-eyed glasses that scatter soft brilliance. It is also called a monocle or monocle.

Even at a glance, it is an artifact with unusual abilities.

Mila put down her glasses and stood in front of Lennok with a nervous expression.

In the lobby, where only Jenny and Jordan Lennock remained, Mila sighed and parted her lips with difficulty.

“What I want to ask of you is… … one… … there is… … .”

“I guess so.”

Jenny replied sullenly.

“I would have thought you were really crazy if you didn’t have anything to say after all that effort.”

“… … .”

Jenny, who was watching from the sidelines, also noticed that Mila wanted something very desperately from Lennok.

“What the hell did you want to do that you’ve been waiting so long?”

“… … There aren’t that many things I can do for you.”

Mila replied with a wry smile.

“Why would a solid wizard want to receive something from me? So I wanted to show sincerity like this.”

“… … .”

“I have a younger brother.”

Towards Lennok, who didn’t answer, Mila took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

“It’s a wizard. I have mastered the water flow system and want to work in the field.”

“Your brother was probably from Lavatenon, right?”

Jenny tilted her head.

“The magicians over there aren’t bad at all, but I know most of them from research jobs. You’re not the type to work in the field.”

Apparently, Jenny knew something about Mila’s family.

Maybe it was because they were talking about each other at a drinking party.

Judging from the fact that he was talking about mages from Rabatenon University, he probably didn’t assume this situation.

“It’s because of me.”

Mila murmured, frowning at Jenny’s question.

“Because they know how I work, they want to work close by.”

“So you want to ask your brother to work in the Mage Tower?”

Only then did Jenny intuit what Mila’s request was and asked.

Mila answered calmly.

“I’m not asking you to accept it blindly. Of course, I will have to take a qualification test and have an interview. but… … Can I just give you one chance?”

“… … .”

“No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think you have much interest in research mages.”

After hearing that, Lennok could understand why Mila had put so much time and effort into it.

The half Mila knows is a monster that climbed alone in the shadows of the Balkans.

A freelancer who is not at the level of being able to work in the field as a wizard, but who has gone through more practical battles than any other superhuman in the shadows.

Maybe that’s why he thought that Lennok wouldn’t even give a chance to a researcher.

Mila was working hard because she wanted to give Priscilla a chance rather than inserting her into the mage tower.

“Maybe you can reconsider your thoughts a little bit—”

Mila cut off her words as she looked at Lennok’s expressionless face.

She raised her head silently and looked at the ceiling of the bar. She was silent for a long time before speaking.

“no no… … This is not it. I want to ask you to accept it, but I can’t do that… … . Oh really. I don’t even know what I’m talking about.”

Mila smiled bitterly and shook her head.

“There is only one family. I want him to live safely and comfortably. But if you really want to work in the field… … .”

“If you want to?”

“… … I want to have it next to the most trustworthy wizard I know. That’s it. I’m sorry if I offended you.”

Milla herself must have thought very hard about what might be of help to Lennok.

If, however, he had spent all this time and effort just to ask Lennok for a favor.

Lennok didn’t respond right away, but picked up the monocle that Mila had put down.

“It’s an artifact that sees the area beyond visible light by illuminating the projection rate of magical power differently.”

Lennok said, looking at the glasses that gleamed with a soft glow.

“It must have been expensive because production was difficult. It must have taken some time to collect the incentives received from accepting the quest.”

Was it for this that Mila earned her time by working hard next to Lennok?

“It is inefficient and visibility is not good. To be honest, it weighs a little too much. but… … .”

Lennok smiled as he silently put his monocle to his right eye and looked at Mila.

“It’s a good thing.”

“… … .”

“Wouldn’t it be possible to create an artifact like this only with research wizards?”

“Well then… … !”

“If you are from Lavatenon, the basics will be enough. Take him to Tatiana for an interview.”

Looking at Mila’s brightened face, Jordan, who was wiping his glass, smiled happily.

Jenny also sighed with her arms crossed, but did not refute.

Even among veteran mercenaries, Mila’s younger brother, who is sensitive, might think that there will be no shortage of abilities.

An excited Mila called Priscilla and ordered Jenny a bunch of strong whiskey while Lennok stepped over to Jordan.

“Jordan. Would it be all right for a moment?”

“of course.”

Jordan, who was wiping his glass, immediately wiped his hands and nodded.

“Is this something to avoid?”

“… … maybe.”

Mila, who had been obsessively following Lennok for several days, had disappeared, so it wouldn’t matter if she made a suitable excuse and avoided the spot.

Jordan immediately led Lennok to a small storage room behind the bar.

“It’s a place that even Jenny doesn’t know well. It will take some time to come.”

“You seem to hear it often.”

“Everybody needs some alone time sometimes.”

Lennok took a cigarette and gave it to Jordan, but Jordan refused.

“Keep it short because Dylan and the other mercenaries will be back. What do you have to say?”

“Ethan Bajour is alive.”

“… … .”

Lennok said quietly, looking at Jordan, who had turned to stone.

“If you’ve worked with Kaise, you probably know about this name.”

Jordan is a colleague who was with Kaise before he was alive, and is the only person who still remains by Jenny’s side.

But if Jordan is still alive after being involved in the project, there must be a reason.

Lennok had guessed that, and had never questioned Jordan directly about it, but now the case was different.

Ethan Bajour. Kaise’s son and Jenny’s father.

It was impossible for Jordan, who watched them right beside them, not to know about their family relationship.

Jordan, too, was silent with an expressionless face, as if intuition that Lennok was asking about it.

Jordan, unable to speak, opened his mouth with difficulty.

“Sorry for repeating. Can you put one on me?”

After receiving the tobacco from Lennox, Jordan put it in his mouth and took out a lighter from his pocket.

Jordan, who lit the fire so skillfully for something he wouldn’t normally prefer, took a deep inhalation of the smoke.

“As you may have guessed, I was Kaise’s personal physician.”

Jordan looked at Lennok and said quietly.

“I had to watch the cursed brother right next to him and treat him every time. lest he be ruined. To make it last until the end of the project.”

According to Jenny, Jordon learned medicine by traveling around battlefields since he was a child.

It was said that he met Kaise and started working together after he was well over 40, so he must have been a professional with more than decades of experience at that time.

“Does Jenny know?”

“… … well.”

Jordan, who was smoking a cigarette, answered.

“But he must have tried to replace out.”

The old man’s eyes sank as he gazed at the darkness beyond the warehouse.

“He was very clever from an early age. You know very well how to replace what you want without explaining it… … .”

Jenny is a more capable and seasoned broker than Lennok when it comes to the physiology and business of the underworld.

Rather than being ignorant of the project, it’s reasonable to assume that she stopped investigating herself at some point.

Lennox was also aware of that fact and decided to ask Jorden first rather than asking Jenny directly.

“Ethan Bajour was such a special person.”

“Although he resembled Kaise, he was completely different in crucial parts… … .”

Jordan laughed bitterly.

“Even though she had innate intelligence and charm, she tended to hide her true feelings at the end.”

“… … .”

“Perhaps he even tried to hide and hide his own death and create it in a different form.”

I mean, I wasn’t sure, but I thought maybe it was.

“Kaise suffered from his curse all his life, but he loved his talent and his destiny.”

As if guessing Lennok’s question, Jordan said.

“But I couldn’t treat Ethan like that.”

“… … .”

“That’s all I can say. Because I couldn’t prevent Ethan’s death after all.”

Jordan said painfully.

“Maybe… … When everything around Jenny turned harsh, I thought it might be… … I am… … .”

I thought he might still be alive after Ethan died, but I wasn’t sure.

If Jordan had been Kaise’s doctor, he would have treated his son Ethan as well.

That’s why Jordan thought he was responsible for Ethan’s death and didn’t dig deep into the fact.

“When I was young, I wanted to be a veterinarian. But after being taken to the battlefield, I had to heal humans, not animals.”

Jordon murmured as he tinkered with the tobacco.

“Sew, glue, cut… … It was the feeling of repairing a living part, not a person. I learned there that sometimes life is worse than death.”

said Jordan blankly.

“I am not afraid of death now, Van. but… … .”

Jordan, who slowly burned the tobacco, looked away.

“I’m afraid that the decision I made might betray Kaise’s Yuji.”

“… … .”

“I thought that waiting for the end quietly in this bar and wishing for Jenny’s happiness was the last thing given to me… … .”

Jordan turned around with a complicated look on his face, and as he was about to leave the door, he took something out of his arms and handed it to Lennok.

“I gave it to you once before. Do you remember?”

“This… … .”

A necklace that Jordan gave to Lennok before heading to the North Continent’s Labyrinth, saying it might be helpful.

Jordon was handing back the necklace he had given back, unable to replace any other use for it.

“I couldn’t tell you then… … .”

said Jordan as if he had made up his mind.

“Among Kaise’s keepsakes, it’s the only thing Edan wanted.”
