    The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 534

    Giant of the Sun (1)

    Crood Azlan. A greeting from a man who calls himself innocent.

    Lennok didn’t recognize the name right away but Jenny who was listening to the conversation through her cell phone seemed to think otherwise.

    […!!]

    Her reaction was to swallow her breath unable to hide her agitation even through the phone.

    With that alone Lennok could understand how dangerous a monster the man standing in front of him was.

    ‘A face I don’t remember but magical power I’ve met before. ‘I’m not from the underworld.’

    If Lennok who has been active in the shadows for a long time meets this person for the first time he is definitely a monster living in the sun.

    But it wasn’t just the way Innocent introduced himself that made Lennok recognize him.

    Incredible fighting spirit and magical power. This was because I soon realized that that strong white brilliance existed in my memory.

    ‘The white pillar I saw in Bayrutz. Was this man the owner?’

    Unlike the battle between Lennok and Evelyn another fierce battle took place in the satellite city of Bayrutz.

    The existence of a second external force believed to have collided with Maiya Lenslit.

    This man was one of the monsters who cooperated with Aegis’s operation and lent its strength along with Evelyn.

    A level 8 extremely capable person. At a glance it is obvious that it is an unmanned weapon specialized in avant-garde.

    I can’t even properly guess the extent of its strength and combat ability.

    Lennok’s gaze calmly settled.

    Innocent laughed lightly as if he knew that would happen.

    “You’re weighing the odds. “I knew that.”

    “….”

    “If you have dealt with Onion you will be able to come up with an estimate against me as well. “Okay what does it feel like to see it in person?”

    As she said that her innocent white eyes sparkled.

    “If you fight at the risk of death how confident can you be that you will win?”

    “…You’re crazy for wanting to hear that from me.”

    Lennok immediately laughed and looked away.

    “If that’s all you have to do I have no intention of answering. “I’m going.”

    I don’t know much about innocence but there are things you can understand without having to talk to the other person for a long time.

    The man standing before Lennok’s eyes right now is a madman who is far removed from the common sense of an ordinary human being.

    A monster that is not even crazy about anything else but is consumed by the passion of fighting and the pleasure of winning.

    A warrior with an overwhelming fighting spirit that made Lennok sick of him and whose every word and action was consistent unable to overcome that momentum.

    Moreover what does it mean to rise to level 8 and transcend the hierarchy in such a state?

    Although they are alive and breathing they are already crazy from the joy of struggle from head to bone.

    There is no benefit to be gained from hanging out with someone like this. I guess I’m glad I didn’t get caught up in the heat and get angry.

    I don’t even understand how they have been able to keep the laws of prohibition and remain quietly bound to the sun.

    Although he never expected to encounter such a monster in the middle of the city Lennok was not embarrassed and slowly turned his back.

    If a monster of this size were walking around the sunny area without hesitation there would probably be a lot of people watching.

    Even if you know that there is no reason to go along with the other person’s wishes.

    With that thought in mind the moment Lennoc used his cane to return to Jenny’s bar.

    Claud casually added one more word.

    “I understand that you heard about the Black Consumer Project from Onion.”

    “….”

    From Lennok’s point of view this is a word that can never be overlooked.

    Innocence smiled at Lennok who slowly looked away.

    “There is something I would like to ask for your cooperation regarding. “Why don’t you at least listen to the story?”

    * * *

    District 16 of the megacity.

    The outer lane of District 16 famous for its vast flat area among the inner districts.

    Only the highway and the grassy gas station are backed by the occasional vacant lot and only a long wall that stretches to an indeterminate end blocks the horizon.

    The shape of a majestic gateway built in the exact center of a wall that may be hundreds of meters long.

    Even the signboard hung above the brutal gateway surrounded by images of all kinds of evil spirits and generals carved from old wood.

    [Ghost Gate]

    The door opened wide and the image of a vast manor unfolded inside.

    Sigh…!!

    Hundreds of superhumans canter and beat wooden dolls on the outskirts of a huge manor.

    From those who are engrossed in sparring while facing each other to those who stand guard holding weapons in the cabinet inside the manor.

    All the warriors who only focus on improving themselves bow their heads politely when faced with innocence.

    “Lord Azlan how was your outing after a long time?”

    “The scholar is waiting for you.”

    “It seems like I received a direct message from the Central Council.”

    The appearance of warriors naturally following Innocence and Lennok and saying various things.

    Gyeonbaek simply nodded and immediately took out the business.

    “Guide to the place where you will receive the guests.”

    “All right!”

    He guides the two people as if they are escorting them towards the main building which is built like a palace.

    There was no question as to what the purpose was or what the cause was.

    […You have to be very careful.]

    Jenny’s voice could be heard faintly in Lennok’s ear.

    [Turyeonmun’s innocence. Among the monsters bound by the prohibition laws he is a person who has led a very dangerous path.]

    “….”

    Since the voice is transmitted directly using the magical bone conduction phenomenon there is no need for innocent people to hear it.

    Jenny understood this and was quickly conveying information about innocence in a way that only Lennock could convey.

    We can’t know this with just Dabi’s data hacking or Lennok’s magical power detection.

    Secret rumors and information that were passed down by word of mouth between people who knew each other in the dark.

    [He is a monster that has existed since the time this city was reorganized and he is an old monster who also served as a member of the council… but there is a rumor that he gave up his position as a council member due to a very unpleasant incident.]

    Jenny said in a very nervous voice.

    [In some cases mental illness has already reached the point of no return -]

    “I hope you understand.”

    “….”

    Innocence turned his gaze towards Lennok and smiled.

    “I’ve been away from the main office for a while because of work so I’m very busy to greet you.”

    “It doesn’t matter.”

    Lennok said with an expressionless face.

    Since I already had a rough idea of ​​what the innocence was talking about I had no intention of inquiring about it.

    Jenny who was holding her breath at the strangely overlapping words of innocence soon spoke quietly as if in a whisper.

    […I will briefly link my account on the deep web to your cell phone. If you need the information find it right away.]

    This is the information you need.

    Although he understood Jenny’s concerns Lennok had no intention of using the account right away.

    There is no need to spin the words at the point where innocence has been pursued. If necessary just find out directly through conversation.

    It wasn’t that difficult to find something noteworthy in his words and actions.

    “How long do you plan on maintaining that ridiculous tone?”

    “…You mean the way you speak?”

    Lennok laughed as he looked at the hesitant innocence.

    “Respect that borders on unreasonable. “The desire to win that can’t be hidden is coming out.”

    “….”

    “Actually I don’t even have any intention of doing so but I’m just forcing it. “It’s rather annoying.”

    The way he continues to talk to Lennoc is rather awkward and unclear making it easy to understand.

    Innocent is probably not the type of person who consistently treats subordinates with respect or pays attention to them.

    As he tries to maintain respect for Lennok who is clearly younger than him and has a lower status his tone of voice comes out abruptly.

    “…That can’t be possible.”

    Innocence laughed.

    “I don’t care about age or honorary status. However I am very interested in the other person’s skills and achievements.”

    “….”

    “A major who single-handedly defeated Onion whose reputation was built in the name of solidity. “Everyone is pointing out what level you have reached but is it really okay to treat you poorly?”

    After saying that Innocence grabbed his mouth and pretended to pull it out chuckling.

    “Please understand that I am developing bad habits. “I made a mistake because I looked much younger than I thought and my granddaughter whom I left behind in a foreign place overlapped with me. Hahaha!!!”

    A grandiose response that seems to be trying to generously cover up one’s own mistakes.

    But Lennoc only laughed coldly at such innocence.

    “It would be impossible to think rationally without suppressing oneself while refining one’s speech right?”

    “….”

    The innocent laughter suddenly stopped.

    “Transcending hierarchy is also a very troublesome thing. “Isn’t that right?”

    He continued without waiting for an answer.

    “The unexplored territory you reach by deviating from the established path is not necessarily beneficial to you.”

    What does it mean to go beyond the seven stages of self-transformation and completely transcend the existing hierarchy?

    Starting to walk down a path that has not been taken is the same as giving up stability and taking a gamble.

    Lennok understood very well that reaching level 8 was not necessarily beneficial.

    I am not insisting on a back and forth tone of voice for the trivial reason that I am thinking of my granddaughter.

    Your self-control has reached a point where it is difficult to tolerate aggression without forcing yourself to maintain a respectful tone of speech.

    “I wonder how one can obediently accept and tolerate the prohibition laws with such a mentality.”

    Lennok said bitterly looking down at the silent innocent.

    “If that’s the case wouldn’t it be better to just tie your arms and legs and lock yourself in a room and not come out?”

    “…Hehe.”

    A low laugh. A ghastly life seeped out from under the shaking white coat.

    In the flow of death that was constricting all directions the strings that bound her neatly organized white hair broke and turned into scattered hairs.

    Click!

    Innocence glanced back at Lennok through her loose hair and answered in a calm voice.

    “There were times when I had to suppress my impulses while going that far.”

    “….”

    “In the past I secretly welcomed the restraints of the prohibition law. “I saw it as an opportunity to forget about the complicated situation and dig deeper into myself.”

    Innocence brushed his hair and mocked himself with a sharp sneer.

    “But I realized too late that the tower I had built so uncontrollably high was prone to collapsing out of control.”

    The shadow of innocence which was walking with its back turned soon fades to pure white and begins to emit a soft light.

    The complexions of the dancers who were guiding the innocent turned pale along with the illusion that the underside of their feet were brightly colored.

    “Ah Lord Azlan…!!”

    “Calm down. Isn’t the release of magic power above the castle level prohibited in the main palace…!!”

    Paaaa!!

    The magical power of innocence swells uncontrollably.

    Heedless of others’ attempts to dissuade him the white shadow rising high began to take on a clear shape.

    The shape of a white ghost large enough to surround an innocent body.

    It has long white hair all over its body and a face so ugly and twisted that it almost resembles a skeleton and its eyes are shining as it stares at us.

    Holding a white flash of light like a spear in its skinny hands it seemed close to the incarnation of the superhuman’s image of innocence.

    “….”

    A dark chill that was completely different from his attitude of feigning cheerfulness just moments ago.

    The aspect of a monster born after the twist of an image and living in the shadows.

    Perhaps this is the essence that is closest to the true nature of the monster called innocence.

    An alien monster that pursues its essence as a warrior more powerfully and clearly than anyone else but becomes unable to imagine anything other than that image.

    It is no different from the faint feeling of discomfort I felt when dealing with Evelyn.

    Level 8 extreme abilities have already deviated from human nature and nature to some extent and are making efforts to regulate and control it in their own way.

    Saaagh…!!

    The gaze of a ghost whose eyes are shining as if they are going to eat Lennok at any moment.

    It seems clear what Crood Azlan thinks of Rennok.

    Perhaps he used similar power when fighting Maiya Rensleyt and inflated the weight and scale of his magical power like crazy.

    However Lennok could only stroke his staff calmly in the face of the white ghosts that appeared as if they were about to attack him at any moment.

    “Are you manipulating a monster born from the distortion of your imagination like an incarnation? “It’s interesting but…”

    Paaaa!!

    The colorless wave that burst out from under Lennok began to crush the shape of the White Demon on the spot.

    “It’s not something you should bring up in a place like this.”

    The idea of ​​freely handling the signs that appear just before the development of the magnetic field.

    The weight of Lennok’s image carried by the waves presses down and overshadows the image of the White Ghost itself.

    A golden spirit burst out and penetrated the White Ghost’s eyes without hesitation.

    Whoa…!!

    Innocence also did not resist the power of Lennok’s wave for long.

    The image of a white ghost that faded away so vainly as if I had expected it to happen.

    The other warriors who were watching the scene from the side hesitated and stepped back unable to speak properly.

    “How can a mere wizard deal with the evil of Lord Azlan!!”

    “Isn’t this talent too dangerous to include in the text?…!!”

    However innocence ignored the other warriors’ reactions and smiled as if he knew that would happen.

    “You could do it too.”

    “….”

    “It can’t be done without you. “The decision has already been made.”

    A self-talk with no clear meaning.

    However Lennok who understood those words to some extent did not bother to reply.

    Innocent had just reacted lazily to Lennok’s provocation trying to determine whether he had reached a level where he could offset his own power head-on.

    The silence lasted only for a moment.

    “Well these days I’m paying a lot of attention to mental training.”

    Innocent said picking up the broken hair tie and casually tying up her white hair again.

    He grinned cleared his voice again and looked away with a grin.

    The other warriors quickly came to their senses and began guiding them again.

    However unlike before where they were ignoring Lennok somewhere their eyes still could not leave the wizard holding the staff.

    “Rather than thinking about becoming stronger I sometimes try to forget about it. The more urgent you are the more you go back. Even now I personally feel that the old saying is not wrong.”

    Is it possible that if you don’t aim to become stronger you can actually become stronger?

    Lennok didn’t know much about the values ​​or precariousness of these warriors’ minds.

    There was some degree of agreement that such contradictions were part of the essence of the human inner self.

    “I don’t think it will be a very pleasant story so shall we stop here?”

    Gyeongbaek said that and walked towards the main part of the manor without hesitation.

    “I think I need to put aside my useless story and explain the business that brought you here.”

    You go up to the old-fashioned pavilion covered in luxurious carpets and sit in front of a richly set drinking table.

    Could it be that during the short time the two were walking and talking through the manor they had set up such an extravagant drinking table for their guests?

    Innocent asked holding up a steaming glass of wine and pushing it in front of Lennok.

    “How about we get started with a drink first?”

    * * *

    “More than 50 years have passed since Tulianmun settled in this city.”

    After drinking a glass without hesitation just by snapping your fingers the bottle rotates in place and rises.

    Just by holding the glass and gesturing with your eyes it was poured into the glass as if an invisible hand was pouring it.

    “We stayed here until the project failed the council was reorganized a civil war broke out the situation turned upside down and Kaise’s granddaughter became a broker.”

    “….”

    Did I hear it or not?

    “Do you understand what that means?”

    A face of uncanny innocence. It seemed like he had no intention of hiding the fact that he wanted to see the reaction.

    But Lennok did not even lift an eyebrow when asked about his innocence.

    “Do you want to brag about the stagnant rotten water?”

    “Hahahaha!!”

    Innocence burst out laughing at Lennok’s words raised his glass and drank it down.

    “That means that we have helped in various ways with what is happening in the darkness of this city.”

    “….”

    “I haven’t been letting go since I was bound by the prohibition laws. Rather I tried to watch everything with interest.”

    Maybe it’s because his skin is so white but even if he gets a little drunk his face looks like it turns red right away.

    Gyeonbaek held the bottle with a slightly red face as he drank several glasses in succession.

    “For example an incident like the National Guard’s treason in which you personally participated.”

    “….”

    “Lieutenant General Edmus Treffen. “You probably remember the betrayal of the Idong Fortress commander right?”

    Only then did Lenok realize that innocence had gotten to the point and he silently put down the glass he was holding.

    Innocence spoke while staring intently at Lennok’s gesture.

    “At the time Lieutenant General Treffen tried to make a deal with Congress using abandoned military facilities in undeveloped areas and it actually worked.”

    “however?”

    “The Council would have had to concede a lot if Agent Deputy Director Falad Ocon had not recruited talented people like you to stop the mobile fortress.”

    Innocence drank his drink and continued speaking.

    “It was clear that a loophole in the prohibition law had been discovered so we too were able to free ourselves while maintaining our existing privileges. “There is probably no organization or force that has not watched the process with interest.”

    “….”

    “The problem is that in the process Deputy Director Pallad wandered around some of the closed areas with some freelancers. “I don’t know if you remember.”

    “…A closed area?”

    Lennok immediately remembered which incident the innocence was referring to.

    Before heading to the undeveloped area to deal with the mobile fortress didn’t they infiltrate Area 6 which was designated as a closed area and search through confidential documents?

    An operation that used the data obtained in the process to identify the mobile fortress’ advance route and launch an all-out war.

    Claude was talking about the incident that occurred when he broke into District 6.

    “exactly. In fact if we don’t check this the conversation won’t proceed.”

    Innocence laughed as he put down his drink.

    “From now on we have to enter another closed area to clean up the negative effects of the Black Consumer Project.”
