Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 520

The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 520
Curtain Call (3)
When I extracted Logear’s memories and got my hands on them I didn’t expect much.
Pandemonium and the special agency Aegis.
As he is an insider who goes back and forth between both organizations there is a high possibility that he knows a lot of sensitive information.
In other words his skills were such that he revealed his identity at this point and was overpowered by Lennok.
He was a man who lacked enough understanding of his own imagination to the point of self-destruction after being exploited through a loophole in the microcosm by Victor who could not produce even half of his power.
If I were to ask the question should I say that he is similar to Turan the white lion that he faced at the Blader Tower and has now become the doctor’s puppet?
Even though he had a powerful body and a useful nature that coveted the spiritual and physical bodies of others he used it in the wrong direction and as a result he met an end worse than death.
Perhaps the doctor also felt a sense of déjà vu similar to Turan’s from Logire’s presence and joked with him to be careful.
Unlike his innate talent and aptitude he was ultimately unable to rise to a higher level because his imagination and method of handling it were inferior.
Therefore I thought that the information contained in his memories was closer to the latest information than the secrets of Pandemonium and Aegis.
The scene unfolding before Lennok’s eyes was something he had never seen before even though he had been dealing with Pandemonium for a long time.
[….]
A collapsed city that has become ruins.
A landscape that seems to be cut off from the world with only a quiet fog covering it.
Director Myeong-gwa stands in a feeling of emptiness as if facing the end of the world but the direction in which the two people look is slightly different.
Unlike the leader who seemed to have no interest in anything else Myeong’s eyes seemed to be looking over his shoulder at the collapsed city.
As if he wanted to keep the ruins he was standing in in his memory for a long time.
“Are you going to be okay?”
Silence continued for a long time. It was Myung who spoke first.
He glanced towards Lennok’s view and smiled.
“I’m still watching.”
“…doesn’t care.”
The leader answered.
He didn’t even look at where Lennok’s gaze was located.

“Because we have cleared out all the causalities that remained in this area. “This is the last time.”
“Because this is the last time….”
“More than anything it must have been you who brought that werewolf?”
Myeong nodded in response to the leader’s indifferent question.
“The road to the Outer Front is quite difficult. “I needed to get help from locals.”
‘Local….’
Only then did Lennok understand why Rogear and the leader had ever met.
Among the many ‘tasks’ that Myung carried out alone while traveling across the continent were there any that required Logear’s help?
“If there is a story to be told it doesn’t matter who the messenger is.”
said the leader.
“As long as you get there right the intermediate steps aren’t that important.”
“Even if you don’t know to whom it is addressed?”
Myung asked.
“You won’t know if it arrived correctly.”
“no. “It will definitely arrive.”
The leader denied it.
“Because hundreds of destructions and two failures prove it.”
“Interesting.”
Myung who was listening to that crossed his arms and laughed.
“Is that a personal experience?”
“….”
The leader did not answer that question right away.
I just raised my noisy gaze and looked at the ruins where the eyes of Mulkkereomi were heading before answering.
“It’s not just about me.”
Myung closed his mouth as if he understood the meaning of those words and Lennok also remained silent.
It seemed like Lennok could now vaguely understand what the leader had just said.
‘The leader knew that I would look into Logear’s memories.’
I didn’t know who it would be but I knew that someone would confirm this moment through Logear’s memories.
I also knew that it would be properly conveyed to the person the director wanted.
Myung asked about the reason and the director was saying in a very euphemistic way that the basis was based on personal experience.
Considering that the answer may be related to the identity of the leader.
Myeong probably also asked the leader about the leak of information through Logear rather than the existence of Logear.
Intuition that gives you goosebumps and foresight that borders on certainty.
The conversation between the two people had already transcended the very concept of variations in timelines and possibilities.
‘Myeong and Director agreed to show this memory to someone but did not know who the target was.’
But why?
The conversation they have now and the city that has become ruins.

Does this mean that the meeting between the two people was so significant that it had to be conveyed in this way?
To drive a wedge of certainty into doubts already hardened by strong inspiration?
Even while Lennok is lost in thought the conversation continues in his memory.
“Are you trying to play around with contradictions in the discontinuity and infinity of space and time? Even the great failures have a headache.”
“Repeating the right choice is a miracle built on contradiction and ambivalence. “You probably know right?”
said the leader.
“That’s why we have to leave memories in this way. “During the brief respite that abets the corruption of Chen Wa (陳蝸) communication through language will lose meaning.”
Myeong looked at the leader for a while and then shook his head.
“I have no regrets. “There is no delusion.”
“….”
“But it is also true that we are putting off reaching the end of the road. “Are you really okay with it being like this?”
The last question of Myung who never lost his smile throughout.
However the leader seemed to smile faintly upon hearing those words.
“There’s not as much you can learn from foolish failures as you think.”
“….”
“All I know is that even if you do your best there will still be regrets. So do what you believe in.”
The leader said as he passed by Myeong.
“Because if you can’t come up with an answer all your promises will end up in vain on the other side of the ocean.”
Logear’s memories ended there.
Borrowing his vision and senses the scenery I was facing suddenly moved away and soon I felt like everything was broken and thrown away.
It’s so scary…!!
“Tsk…!!”
As if waking up from a light sleep Lennok’s consciousness immediately jumped back to reality and he rolled around on the floor of the train.
The noise in my head was annoying like it was tickling my brain but even so the memory of what I had just seen did not disappear.
Lennok held his head with a frown and then slowly sighed.
“ha….”
I still feel like the conversation between monsters that transcend royalties is a step away from Sang-ri.
Perhaps it is because the concept they are looking at and the timeline they are standing on are located in a different place than others.
But even so Lennok could understand to some extent what they had been trying to convey.
‘The next goal in mind for the leader has been decided.’
Ascended Jin Wa (陳蝸).
A transcendental being who created the common language of the continent and an ancient monster that has existed for a very long time among the ascendants.
Although he had not seen him in person or heard much about him Lennok was aware of some information about him.
Didn’t Sabrina who was a linguist also convey information or rumors about Jinwa to Lennok through a transaction?
There is a bizarre rumor that people are copying what foreign media are doing and their words and actions are becoming increasingly strange.
Perhaps the rumor itself may have some connection to the leader’s actions.
The name Oeroejeon used to refer to the ruins where the leader and Myeong were located.
Does this mean that the place name and the scenery of the ruins themselves are somehow related to Jinwa the ascendant?
‘The crystal ball… I guess it will happen a few times at most.’
The output of the memory that Lenno just looked into seems to have been too strong so the shape of the crystal ball is melting little by little and sticking together.
At this rate it will be difficult to replay the memories stored in Logear several times.
Lennok thought for a while and decided to return to the Balkans and analyze the memories in more detail in the lab.
It was difficult to remember and organize the conversation between the leader and the name right now but there was no reason to strain my memory here.
“What about Darby Evelyn?”
[I checked Hyeonggung’s signal update in the agent database. It appears that tracking was given up at the point where the report to superiors was completed.]
“I see….”
After all was it right to throw Logear as bait and run away?
As Evelyn was in a position to cooperate with Aegis’s operation it would have been difficult for her to go further when the insider’s safety was secured.
However even though he knew this the confrontation with Evelyn that had just occurred was quite a burden for Lennok as he was wary of her pursuit.
Eveline Marcia. An excellent warrior an excellent hunter and a transcendent archer.
Compared to anyone Lennok knows he is a person who it is difficult to imagine losing even if he is pushed around.
Her words actions and advice based on her combat ability technical judgment and intelligence were a significant inspiration to Lennok.
In the process I even imagined a scenario where I would fight her at least once.
Assuming you give your all what are the conditions needed to win when you face her?
The answer was already decided a long time ago.
‘If you expand the magnetic area if you expand and overlap more than half of the Ouroboros you will win. However the process of getting there may be problematic.’
No matter how powerful smart and technologically advanced Evelyn is Lennok’s image has already reached a concept that cannot be compared with superiority or inferiority in strength.
As long as you succeed in unfolding either the Kaleidoscope Realm or Ouroboros your chances of losing are greatly reduced.
If you deploy both as I tried to do when dealing with Amrita you can almost certainly win.
However given Evelyn’s skills and mobility that Lennok knew about there was a high possibility that the battle would proceed in a way that did not give time for the imagination to develop.
The output and conceptual range of her inertial deflection are lower than Lennok’s magnetic field but the speed of development is incomparably faster.
As a variety of applications are possible as if the human resources were concentrated together they will try to compete by piercing the momentary gap in the development of the field from various directions.
Considering that it cannot be denied that it is difficult to predict a clear chance of victory in a battle with Evelyn assuming that you give your best.
Moreover it is a big gamble to face her as Victor even though she was injured during the battle with Amrita.
I don’t think he will lose but he is such a difficult and difficult opponent that it is difficult to be confident of a sure victory.
It is true that Lennok also had a bit of a hard time as he never thought he would face it like this at this point in the first place.
The thought of meeting Evelyn again in the future as a member of the class is such a huge uproar.
“It always seems like this is what happens when you get caught up in pandemonium…”
Lennok sighed took off his mask wiped his face and muttered.
“When I get back I’ll have to look through the stolen goods in the Black Palace workshop.”
[I will put the place names in the auction in advance.]
“Underground auction alone will not be enough. “I might have to borrow some of Dyke’s connections.”
Since one of the gloves from the Black Palace Workshop was used to fool Rogear’s hand it is necessary to fit a new one.
What could be more ridiculous than being suspected when you meet Evelyn again as a member of your class because she doesn’t have a single glove on?
“The altered presence and vital response also need to be adjusted a bit. “If the disguise magic you’re using now doesn’t filter it out you’ll need to change the pattern.”
Apart from the fact that Lennok’s vital reactions are distorted to be difficult to detect this has the side effect of making it easier to identify.
If this problem is not resolved Lennok’s position as he has held multiple identities until now will be in trouble.
While I had been away from the city for a long time I achieved many achievements but there were also many problems that needed to be resolved.
[Still I’m glad I was able to make it on time.]
Dabi said pricking his ears.
[At this rate I will have some time to spare even after returning to the Balkans.]
“The settlement was completed sooner than expected. “I thought it would be close but I think I can roughly complete the preparations…”
Interim settlement of the Blue Eye Lighthouse drying battle. And another scheduled itinerary in the Balkans.
Although it is something I have been prepared to do since I decided to share my status it is inevitable that I will bear various fatigues in the process.
But instead of thinking for a long time about what he had to do next Lennok just lay down on the floor of the train compartment and closed his eyes.
The night of settlement in Bayrutz was slowly coming to an end with the view of the megacity visible in the distance.
* * *
“So didn’t you say that this is something we don’t know about?”
Deputy Agent Falad Okon was on the phone all day responding to incoming calls.
It has been quite a while since he a high-ranking civil servant in the city government who has held a prestigious position responds so diligently to work.
However the calls that were coming in succession right now were only calls from so high up that it was impossible for Palad to respond to them without answering them personally.
“Yes Senator. “I know.”
[….]
“Isn’t it Aegis’ decision to take Hyeonggung? “We also had no involvement in her decision…”
[…!!]
“I was only informed of the results but I could not confirm what actions were taken during the operation…”
Kwaang!!
Pallad put down the phone and leaned back in his chair covering his eyes with both hands.
“No fuck… Why are you asking us to take responsibility for the failure of Aegis’s operation!!”
Pallad shouted loudly in the empty office breathing heavily and grabbing his coffee cup.
While on the phone Palad who was drinking his cold coffee like water suddenly heard a grumpy voice behind him.
“It’s still frustrating to deal with things. Deputy Director.”
“…!!!”
“Are you still devoting the rest of your life to being harassed by the old men of the city council?”
An elderly woman leaning against the window with a cigarette in her mouth looking this way.
Unlike his white hair and wrinkled face his slim physique and thick coat stand out.
As soon as Pallad saw the old man he jumped up from his seat.
“Director Greta…!!”
“I have come.”
“Where have you been and now are you here you crazy old lady!!”
“….”
“Thanks to you for not even showing your nose for several years you have been dismissed from your position for a long time. “Get out now.”
Palad said with a cold expression pointing to the office door.
Greta paid no heed to Palad’s words and took out a document from her arms and placed it on it.
“This is a reinstatement report directly approved by the city council. “It’s a warm item with the ink not yet dry.”
“Reinstatement report?”
Palad picked up the document with trembling hands and read it through.
The expression on his face as he put down the paper was filled with an emotion that would be insufficient to describe it as exasperation.
“Didn’t you just talk to me about the old guys on the city council?”
“Is that so?”
“And then you rushed over and got the reinstatement papers?”
“Let’s skip over the facts that aren’t that important.”
Greta slowly turned around and asked.
“Where is Marcia? “I came here because I wanted to ask that friend something.”
“I haven’t returned yet. “At the very least I’m probably killing time somewhere.”
“okay?”
Greta blew out smoke and threw herself on the sofa in the office.
“Then I guess I’ll have to wait until you get here.”
“…Do whatever you want.”
Even though he was the director of the agent he disappeared for several years and has not been heard from.
He is almost completely uninterested in the way the organization operates or in its system.
It’s been a long time since Palad also expected a normal way of thinking or responding from her.
Wasn’t it Palalad’s own strength that led the organization called Agents to this point in the first place?
“Can you make me some coffee? “It’s been a while since I smoked one and my throat feels sore.”
“Why did you come back? “No what were you doing all this time in the first place?”
“Oh haven’t you heard it all this time?”
Greta laughed.
“It was I who created the special agency Aegis and trained its members. “Now that the business trip is over it’s time to return to my original job.”
“…what?”
“Hmm now that I think about it was this a secret known only to the City Council and Senate?”
Greta smiled casually touching her chin.
“Let’s keep it a secret between us.” “Well Marcia already knows.”
“No no… wait a minute. You’re the original agent director. But you disappeared out of nowhere and came back to help found Aegis?”
Pallad said pressing his temple.
“Did Evelyn know that?”
“Otherwise how could that strict guy have lent his strength to this side?”
Greta said grabbing a nearby newspaper and lying down.
“Even though I took two cooperative monsters with me things always end up being a mess against Pandemonium… I was thinking that I would fail.”
“….”
Pallad who had been silent with his mouth open asked.
“Then you passed on the failure of that operation to us?”
“Ugh.”
“I’m dying!!!! Crazy old lady!!!”
A desperate chase between Palad who screams and tries to strangle Greta and two older civil servants who giggle and avoid him.
However neither of them seemed to have enough stamina and after less than five minutes they were panting and leaning on the sofa silently drinking water.
“Ask for coffee.”
“Shut up. please….”
Pallad who was staring blankly at the ceiling of his office with a soulless face asked.
“What do I have to ask Evelyn?”
“I guess you didn’t come to me because you wanted to ask me directly?”
“no.”
Palad said with sunken eyes.
“Tell me here. “Right now.”
“….”
“I don’t care what you’ve been doing all this time. “But if you’re thinking of doing something tricky I’ll have to stop you.”
“hey….”
Greta smiled coldly.
“Since when did you care about agents so much? “Not fitting in.”
“….”
“The other agents who died as a result of your failed operation will be very sad to see you now. “Isn’t that right?”
“It was Evelyn’s own intention to quit being an agent.”
Pallad decisively cut off Greta’s words took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
“There would have been many ways to get back to work but he hasn’t returned yet. “My mind has already left.”
“Is that so?”
“Hyeonggung was fully devoted to the city. At least more than you.”
Palad said in a heavy voice.
“Don’t hold on Greta. “Let her live the way she wants to live.”
“….”
“I don’t know how long we have left now.”
Greta looked slightly surprised by Palad’s words.
“…I know how to say things like that. Do people change as they age?”
“…”
“Well you’re not wrong.”
Greta said that and naturally took out another cigarette.
Palad casually lit her cigarette.
Greta laughed puffing out the smoke.
“But the ending won’t come as quickly as you think.”
“How do you know that?”
“The city council is giving even scum like me time to prepare.”
Greta said giggling.
“Those old people who have gone crazy with their own ways still have enough time to think about the future. “That’s what I think.”
“….”
That is not a clear basis or reason it is just an absurdly contradictory trust.
Trust not in a precious colleague or friend but in a boss or burden you hate more than anyone else.
“So I won’t play the role of such a benevolent boss. “At least on that part my thoughts are different.”
Greta smoked a cigarette and waved her hand with a gaunt face.
“If you need something you can use up everything and scrape it all up to the bottom. What do you know about other people’s circumstances?”
“Greta…”
“The agent is like this because he is buried in that kind of loser mentality.”
Greta stood up with a stern expression and walked towards Palad’s desk.
“Now that I’m back I’ll have to completely reorganize this institution from start to finish.”
Woe!!
Greta who swung her arm and blew away a pile of documents threw away the cigarette she was holding.
Grumbling!!
At the sight of the pile of documents burning in an instant Pallad jumped up and grabbed Greta by the collar.
“Don’t talk nonsense…!! “Someone told you…!!”
“I accumulated enough data while training Aegis members.”
Greta laughed while being held by the collar.
“The agents we will create from now on will be reborn as the best elites in the megacities.”
“…!!”
“So tell me where Marcia is.”
Greta slapped Palad’s hand away and sat down in the office chair with a shaky motion.
The figure leaning on the chair with his back to the flames of the burning pile of documents looked like an old ghost.
“The wolf cub who was watching both Pandemonium and Aegis turned into an idiot. The special magician who last dealt with him. “I need Marcia’s help to find his whereabouts.”
There was no longer any expression on Greta’s face.
“I’m not asking you to help me with my agent’s work right now Palad. “It’s just a story about the aftermath of the operation she accepted.”
“…”
“So stop hiding it and tell me where it is. “It is an order from the director.”
At Greta’s firm words Pallad lifted the cigarette from his mouth and sighed.
Pallad said throwing the remaining embers among the burning pile of papers.
“He said he was going to the fair.”
Greta opened her mouth slightly at the completely unexpected word.
A strange conversation as if the solemn atmosphere up to now had disappeared all at once.
“…fair?”
“So you said it was a magic engineering fair hosted by the city government?”
Pallad said scratching his head roughly.
“He said he was going to watch his friend’s thesis presentation.”
