Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 129
by Jessie@AFNCC
Medicinal ship (2)
Lennok silently took the pillow laid Jenny down and then stood up.
Of course the fact that the medicine ship showed movement only at the moment Jenny fell asleep means that it had been waiting for this moment from the beginning.
Yakseon glanced at Lennok and walked inside the house.
When Lennok followed her into the room two cups of coffee were placed under the soft lamplight.
When Yakseon pointed to the coffee cup with his hand Lennok smiled and picked up the cup.
“Why don’t you give Jenny a drink too?”
[My method is to meet separately with the prospective patient and share a drink. I don’t want to be disturbed by anyone at this time.]
“……”
Lennok paused as he heard a strange voice coming directly from his head instead of Yakseon’s voice.
Electric sound magic… No it’s just vibrating magical energy and imitating the tone directly.
However if we were to consider just the ability to manipulate magical power this would be several times more difficult.
Isn’t the whole task of selecting the right tone to convey the message and maintaining a stable tone according to the meaning of the word done by magic not the body?
To put it in perspective it is the same difficulty as creating an artificial vocal cord out of thin air.
A deep understanding of the human body and a high level of magical power manipulation ability.
And it was a skill that there was no reason to attempt unless there was a good reason.
I’m sure.
Anushka Greenway was a mute who could not speak.
“nice to see you. I am…..”
[I knew this because I was contacted by Jenny in advance.]
“……..”
I am speechless several times today.
By the way Jenny had already taken care of everything in advance and didn’t say anything to Lennok?
I heard that he was acquainted with Yak-seon but I never thought that he would take care of things first in this way.
I thought I would have to get an explanation later after she woke up.
[Hand over the amulet.]

“Here it is.”
When I handed him the amulet he had taken out of his pocket Yakseon held it tightly and looked down at it quietly for a long time.
[In order to get to this place you have to infuse magic into this amulet and find the location yourself. I use that to judge who the patients I should treat are.]
“Is that so?”
[You can think of many things even with the magical energy poured into this talisman. A powerful and haughty flow…. rough and fierce yet extremely cold. I can feel a clear will permeating every movement of the magic power flowing through the talisman.]
Yakseon closed his eyes.
[Of all the things I’ve touched recently… no it’s a magical power that ranks on one hand among all the wizards I’ve met. You already have the key to ascend to the end of the sky.]
“……..”
It seems that the name Yakseon is not a lie as it is possible to find out such things just by touching Lennok’s magic power a few times.
Anushka held the amulet like that for a moment and then slowly nodded.
[good. Let me diagnose your body. If it were another guest I would have just listened to the story but if Jenny’s colleague is a wizard of this caliber it would be worth using my strength.]
“I have a question about that.”
[what?]
Lennok opened his mouth after checking for Jenny who was still sleeping near the lake.
“I heard from Jenny that she cured a person named Kayse.”
[Did the child even talk about such things? It looks like he is receiving quite a lot of trust.]
Of course Jenny never told Lennok directly about Kaise.
However it was not that difficult to guess what led her to know Yakseon and hit her.
Lennok asked looking into Yakseon’s deep eyes.
“But why do you remember Kaise and Jenny?”
[……That’s a sharp question. If you know about me it’s something you can say.]
Yakseon quietly put down the amulet he was holding and drank coffee.’
After gathering his thoughts for a moment he answered.
[This is because I could not finish the treatment.]
“That means…..”
[I lost one of my best friends that day. I think you know what I mean.]
It was not difficult to understand Yakseon’s words.
An attempt was made to treat Kaise but Kaise died before it could be completed.
It was at the end of the treatment that Anushka Greenway lost her memory of the patient.
In other words the memories and secrets about Lennok would not disappear from her memory until the treatment was over.
“What is the standard for the end of treatment?”
Yakseon smiled faintly at Lennok’s series of questions.
[You are a cautious person. That kind of attitude isn’t bad. It is always helpful to both doctors and patients.]
“……..”
[It is based on the moment the prescription was written and the medicine was dispensed.]
After all it was the moment when the medicine was given… It is a standard worthy of the name medicine.
How long does it take for Lennok to give her a diagnosis properly check what’s wrong with her body get a prescription and get the medicine?

Or in the first place was it possible for Lennok to get the answer he was looking for from her?
I’ve been thinking about this problem for a long time but in the end there’s only one thing I can think of.
Nothing changes unless Lennok himself moves.
Same thing. Rather than doing nothing out of fear of the secret being revealed we had to find an alternative even if it meant taking risks.
The time I spent worrying while looking at the lake was not wrong.
Thanks to Jenny’s help and a lot of luck I managed to get this far.
If there was ever a time to take a step it was now.
“great. “Let’s begin.”
[Hold out your arms. I need to get my Mac first.]
Her medical practice seems to be closer to the old methods a little different from modern medicine but… what use are such standards in this world where witchcraft and magic run rampant?
Lennok rolled up his arms and held out his wrists.
Yakseon raised his wrinkled hand and felt Lennok’s pulse and closed his eyes.
I can feel her magic flowing into Lennok’s body little by little.
Reason was screaming at him to stop the flow and turn it back right now but Lennok forced himself to ignore the cry and closed his eyes.
Even if Yakseon changes his mind right now he can always be suppressed.
If I didn’t have that confidence I wouldn’t have come this far.
[Um… this is…]
From the moment Yakseon touched Lennok’s body he felt a dark and damp energy that made him groan.
It is fully felt that it is not just that the constitution is naturally weak but that it is filled with all kinds of rare energies that impede the body’s functions.
If the problem is this clear there is no need to check for a long time.
She knew how to clearly distinguish between what she could and could not do.
Before long Yakseon took his hand off his pulse and spoke.
[You were born with a gift. Even though you have this kind of talent are you also running towards the abyss?]
“……”
[I understand why you came to see me. If you had a body like this you would have been cautious about even getting a diagnosis from someone…]
Lennok who had been silent spoke.
“I don’t think we can solve all the problems.”
[hmm…..]
Yakseon could not deny it.
I don’t think that I can throw off the shackles that have been set in me since I opened my eyes in this world with the help of just one person.
Lennok was not that optimistic or someone who expected absurd prospects.
Even if it’s a very small breakthrough if only we could decide on a new direction to move forward in.
That was enough.
“Tell me how far it is possible and what I need to do to get there.”
[You have already fully accepted your future… and yet you are striving for a better ending.]
Yakseon closed his eyes and thought for a while before answering.
[In that case I will also give you an appropriate answer.]
“……..”
[I don’t understand all the problems with your body. Even if that were the case what I can touch is only a small part of it.]
[However it is possible to alleviate to some extent the addiction phenomenon in which the body’s functions themselves experience extreme opposition to magical power.]
There are a total of five obstacles that Lennog put himself through as he pushed his talent to the limit.
[Insomnia] and [Scarecrow] [Mana addiction] and [Too much is too little]. And even [Jaein Park Myung].
Among these it is said that medicine can show some degree of improvement in mana addiction.
Lennok nodded without much hesitation.
“I am satisfied as long as the restrictions on body strengthening are lifted to some extent.”
[Could it be that you have been living as a wizard in this city on your own until now? I’m not in my right mind….]
Yakseon stuck his tongue out at Lennok’s calm words and continued.
[Making medicine for you is not difficult but there is one problem.]
It was a remark that raised expectations at best but Lennok’s expression was calm.
I didn’t expect it to be that easy.
Didn’t Lennok always get what he wanted?
[Mana addiction is a disease so rare that it is difficult to detect even in this age of advanced magic medicine and it requires rare medicinal ingredients. And the ingredients are not in my possession right now.]
“Can I come rescue you?”
[To be precise it no longer exists in this era.]
“……”
Yakseon waved his fingers and suddenly projected an image into the air.
Even at first glance he is a high-level magic fighter.
Floating on the ceiling of the dark mansion was something that looked like it had been cut into small pieces and refined from a black tree root.
If I had to be honest if I dyed wild ginseng black would it look like that?
She said while Lennok stared at it blankly.
[Malabeth. It is a plant that only grows on the collapsed island and has a poison that hardens all the muscles in the body and petrifies the entire body when ingested but when refined in a special way it turns into a very powerful drug.]
“…You mean drugs?”
Lennok who was about to nod naturally asked back with a puzzled expression.
Is what Lennok just heard true about drugs?
Yakseon nodded with a calm expression.
[The fundamental cause of mana addiction is not simply a matter of constitution. As a wizard you can handle magical power smoothly but direct exposure to your body is actually a problem. That’s because your nervous system initially causes a rejection reaction to magical power.]
“…….”
[That’s why we use a powerful stimulating herb to temporarily paralyze the functions related to your symptoms and change the threshold of magical response through detailed adjustments. It alleviates the symptoms of addiction by arbitrarily adjusting the reaction values set for ordinary people.]
[The drug called Malabeth has the characteristic of being able to fine-tune the stimulation applied to the user down to the cellular level by controlling the dosage and magic projection. That’s why it works like a medicine for people with ‘innately broken’ functions like you.]
Yakseon continued speaking without caring whether Lennok understood or not.
[In short by increasing the limit of the ‘allowable amount of magic power that causes addiction’ we are preventing any abnormalities from occurring with regard to magic power administration to a certain extent. This means that even if it cannot be a fundamental solution symptoms can be alleviated.]
The explanation was quite complicated but Lennok understood it right away.
“What I’m saying is that to a certain extent it is possible to enhance physical abilities through magical power.”
[…….You understand quickly.]
“hmm…..”
Just by feeling the pulse once he was able to recognize the existence of the penalty in Lennok’s body and suggest what could be done. Just by looking at him you can guess how excellent a lawmaker Yak-seon is.
Now this may also be her suggestion of the best possible treatment method.
There was no need to worry for long.
“All right.”
[But after the collapsed island was purified harvesting Malabeth became nearly impossible. We have to find another way.]
“I see you have a different method.”
What was the reason why Yakseon so desperately appealed to Lennok about the need for a plant called Malabeth?
It may have had some meaning in explaining how Lennok would cure mana addiction but if we were to be specific it seemed closer to Lennok’s act of insisting on the need to obtain the medicine.
She was hoping to convince Lennok of the way to save Malabeth.
[……Since Malabeth is used as a drug there is only one easiest way to obtain the medicinal ingredient.]
Yakseon continued speaking with a calm expression.
[Drug lord Dominic Cavarro. A colossus who holds in his hands all the drugs in the world and distributes them across the continent. To find Malabeth you’ll have to search his inner pockets.]
