Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 538



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 538

Giant of the Sun (5)

Jerk!

A quiet cavity where even the sound of slow steps echoes like thunder.

Lennok was walking through a vast vast hall where not a single person could be seen.

Felix and Illya look around with curiosity. The innocent figure walking slowly with his back to the front.

It’s not that I don’t understand either way.

The huge stone statues lined up on both walls of the cavity they were currently walking through were easily over ten meters tall.

A magnificent hall of fame where dozens of giants are displayed in different poses.

The four people had visited the unofficial exhibition hall located in District 5.

“Adachar Ibago commander of the civil war. Tabi Holgren head of the urban development and expansion plan. Madrich Onion former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Riyad Hammer Allied Commander-in-Chief….”

Felix looked around with calm eyes and muttered.

“They are all great people who left their mark on Balkan history.”

“….”

“Azlan are you saying that something higher than the Senate is waiting for us here?”

Illya sighed softly at Felix’s words.

“You seem to be a person who considers formality very important. “I think you have to be prepared that it will take quite a bit of time.”

“No there is absolutely no need for that.”

Innocence who was quietly listening to those words laughed softly.

“Rather I would say that it is very far from formal.”

“yes?”

“It was only because of his will that we chose this place today as the meeting place.”

“What on earth is that….”

While the others blinked not immediately understanding what he meant Lennok quietly looked around at the statues around him.

Like armor old uniforms and research gowns the color age appearance and behavior are extremely diverse.

The only thing they have in common is that the statues are incredibly large.

Lennok was looking around at the giants regardless of age or gender who were carved in various shapes and displayed.

I made eye contact with one of the stone statues that was quietly looking in this direction.

“….”

“….”

The image of Lennok tilting his head with an expressionless face and the stone statue twitching its lips.

Illya looked back at Lennok who was still standing still and was startled by the sight of the stone statue so she raised her magic power.

“Chi intruder…!! “Oh no is it a stone statue?!”

“Yes that’s exactly the reaction I wanted!”

Wow!!

Only then did the stone statue which shouted with an expression of satisfaction begin to move.

No it’s not a stone statue.

It was just an incredibly tall giant who was blending in among the stone statues and holding his breath as if he were one of them.

The appearance of a mature man with a large body well over 5 meters tall a thick belly a bushy beard and a grinning expression.

However its size and weight were so huge and massive that even the four other people present combined could not compete with it.

Thump thump thump!!

As I walk lightly and stand in front of the four people it feels like the entire hall is shaking with just the sound of my footsteps.

Felix and Illya who belatedly realized the situation opened their mouths on the spot.

“You giant!!”

“How can a species that was completely extinct decades ago live in the central area of ​​a huge city…!!”

“Hahaha!! Yes that’s normal. “I chose this place because I wanted to see that expression!!”

Innocent too nodded to the giant who was shouting in a loud voice and pounding on his stomach with no sign of surprise.

“Lucinder please understand. “It has been too long since people of this era have witnessed a being like you in person.”

“what? That’s not what I want to say. “It’s a shame that I got caught by this boring guy first!”

“He didn’t show it too openly to say he was hiding.”

Lennok who was listening to the giant’s grumbles responded calmly.

“If you wanted to see the reaction after being caught at the right time you should have chosen your opponent well. “You have a strange hobby.”

“Huh he’s a lot more arrogant than I thought.”

The giant snorted and responded.

“How would I know that you are such a pathetic person with no mood swings? “I just wanted to play a prank on people I haven’t seen in a long time!!”

“….”

It’s not that I don’t have emotional ups and downs I just noticed it from the moment I entered the exhibition hall.

However through this it becomes clear that the opponent is a skilled person who can deceive and hide even Felix and Illya’s senses.

It is an opponent with such inconceivable momentum and vitality that it is difficult for even Lennok who is watching in front of him to guess its potential and power.

“You probably don’t know each other so I’ll introduce you.”

Innocence turned away from the giant turned his gaze towards the others and opened his mouth.

“There is no castle Lucinder. One of the very few survivors of the giant race known to have gone extinct and a group of giant gods that have existed for over 200 years. He is a disciple of the Ascended…”

Innocence who was silent for a moment then spoke.

Join our discord and ping me to update more chapters. Discord: https://discord.gg/93rmBjgP6B

“As a member of the Senate he was in charge of all the gates of the entire city.”

senate.

Lennok also knew that it was the name of an institution and organization that existed at a higher level than the Central Council that Gyeongbaek had mentioned.

Didn’t Mayer also mention them and say that it is the Senate’s job to decide the mayor’s position?

A mysterious institution shrouded in mystery. True giants of the sun who were with us at every moment of the city’s establishment development expansion and glory.

Lennoc was now meeting this very member of the Senate for the first time.

…I never dreamed that the Giants of the Sunny Land were actually giants.

“They say he’s an old pig that’s just gaining weight. “Why are you making such a big deal out of it?”

The giant Lucinder responded harshly and scolded the innocent.

“Anyway Claude you also got older and became very strange. They pay attention to pretentiousness and ostentation which is not appropriate. “Aren’t humans ultimately helpless?”

“Please understand. “Now I don’t even remember what faction or organization you belong to.”

With a bitter smile Innocence lightly shook his head and spoke again.

“Lucinder holds a special position in the Senate as key keeper. “He is also the only person who can temporarily grant us access to the closed area.”

“….”

“This operation is a designated order issued through the acting authority of the Senate not the Central Council. “This is the first time since the Nakcheon incident and the first new project-related operation launched in 20 years.”

‘Optimism?’

Lennok frowned inwardly when he heard those words.

This is because I am beginning to have some idea of ​​what incident the innocence is referring to.

But as soon as Lucinder heard those words of innocence he cut them off like a knife.

“I don’t know what Claude was talking about but the Senate is not the upper body of the Central Council.”

“yes?”

“Most of them have retreated to the back line to get out of the field but do you think they will now care about how the city runs?”

“….”

“It was our mistake that things happened like this in the first place… Oh that’s it. “I’ve roughly checked the face so let’s finish it quickly.”

He grits his teeth with one hand and holds on to his bushy beard with the other.

Lucinder pulled his beard down and opened his mouth wide then immediately stuck his finger down his throat.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!”

“….”

Even while others are speechless at the bizarre sight Lucinder’s deviation continues.

The moment I let out something covered in saliva from my throat an unknown array of ancient letters began to swirl in the air above my thick fingers.

Paaaa!!

The shape of an array that assembles itself in the air scattering a mysterious blue glow.

Lucinder gestured angrily toward the other four people.

“Are you sure that all four of you have been in and out of Area 6 at least once? Be sure to be sure because rejection may occur.”

Aside from Lennok and Illya have Felix and Claude also entered and exited the closed area at least once in different ways?

In fact it would have been impossible for Lennok to even enter and leave Area 6 if it were not for the help of Palad Ocon the deputy director of the agent.

As each of the four people touches the array of letters floating in the air an unknown barcode-like pattern is engraved on the back of their left hand.

Cheek!!

After checking it Lucinder picked up the letter array again and swallowed it.

Lucinder burped profusely and grumbled while licking his lips.

“I always feel dirty. Why do we have to make emergency access between areas into a biometric code and then go through all this nonsense? “Is it true that I’m still working at this age?”

“….”

A key keeper who holds access to all gates of a large city.

Ridiculously the storage method was that the giant Lucinder himself swallowed it and stored it in his stomach.

This is probably because the capacity of access rights made up of biometric codes is so vast and complex that an ordinary human being would never be able to handle it.

It is not at all wrong to say that it is a key keeper as the ship holds temporary access rights to closed areas and other city gates.

It was only then that Lennok understood why a special organization called the Senate could exist with a position and status different from that of the Central Assembly.

Special knowledge or authority that cannot be inherited within the order established by the city’s founders.

Those who store and manage old-fashioned heritage that is not strange even if they have already retired or died a long time ago.

Is that why they were able to coexist in a relationship that was nominally compatible with the powerful powers called the Central Council but did not interfere with each other?

“Well even if it looks like that it’s really a living code… Get inside the area quickly before you die. “I guess you’ve finished preparing?”

Innocent who was staring at the biometric code engraved on the back of his hand nodded.

“Thank you for your cooperation Lucinder. “It must be quite a burden for you as well.”

“It has become a useless public affair. “If it wasn’t for other people’s requests I wouldn’t have started in the first place…”

Lucinder muttered indifferently his eyes scanning the other four people and stopping at Lennok.

“Because I wanted to see the face of the guy who killed Onion at least once.”

“….”

Despite the giant’s gaze sinking in an instant Lennok was not surprised.

Madrich Onion. Level 8 military commander.

As a former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and someone who had directly participated in the project decades ago Lennok also knew that he was acting as an agent of the Senate.

I was thinking that since I was meeting a member of the Senate this topic would come up at least once.

“Yes I thought he must not be an ordinary talent since he faced and killed that stiff judge but… this definitely exceeded my expectations.”

Lucinder muttered while scratching his beard with a strange look in his eyes.

“There is a strangely similar feeling. “I can see why other guys care.”

“Are you talking about Madrich Onion?”

“…No I said something pointless.”

Lucinder said that and slowly stood up.

thud!!

Lucinder spoke immediately raising his gaze with heavy steps.

“However it would be good to remember that someone has to shoulder Onion’s karma.”

“….”

“It is our duty and right to correct project failures. Getting closer to that secret means having to share that responsibility as well.”

A hard heavy inorganic declaration that is completely different from before.

A weight that feels like a proposition that must be accepted as the truth as if it were from a person in power who makes judgments and sentences.

“Know that leaving room for you in this matter is also an extension of that matter.”

Boom boom!!

The voice of a giant walking casually through the quiet hall.

The figure disappearing into the darkness with indifferent steps not paying any attention to the gaze of those around it.

Lucinder’s last words were the only words that echoed quietly among the inorganic stone statues.

“Maybe even everyone involved with you.”

“….”

No one could open their mouths until the giant completely disappeared.

This is because the intense will he unleashed at the last moment was powerful enough to press down on the entire space.

It is not simply a thought that someone who has lived as a key keeper or high-ranking official can have.

Proof that the fat old and bushy-bearded giant was once a warrior who was more perfectly trained than anyone else.

“I said he was the disciple of that giant ascendant.”

Lennok turned his gaze towards Innocence.

“Whose student were you?”

“…If you don’t say it yourself it’s not something I can tell you.”

Innocent who quietly refused to answer glanced at the biometric code engraved on his wrist and nodded.

“As Lucinder said we don’t have much time. “I’ll show you the path to the gateway.”

* * *

Tuk!

As soon as you take a wrong step a piece of broken brick tumbles down.

Even after a long time the sound of the fallen bricks hitting the ground is not heard.

Instead what pierces your ears is the magnificent sound of water resonating without end.

Kwaaaa!!!

Due to the constant flow of water that regulates the water level water fog rises from all directions and obscures the view to the extent that it is difficult to see even an inch ahead.

Whenever you walk along the border of the waterway the only thing that gives you an idea of ​​the size of the dam is the huge pipes that can be seen sparsely through the fog.

“It’s truly enormous.”

“It is said that 40% of the water resources in the 20th district are supplied alone so the scale must be beyond imagination.”

Illya answered as she slowly adjusted her backpack.

“The existence of this dam is said to have an impact on the climate of District 22 so it must be having more of an impact than meets the eye.”

Multipurpose gravity dam in area 22.

The end of a facility that boasts overwhelming size and scale among all the facilities in a huge city.

Innocence had been walking along the border of this huge waterway for a while with three other people.

“But I don’t know how there is a way to enter the closed area from here.”

Felix said.

“Are you saying it wasn’t a way to gain entry inside by following legal procedures at the time the authority was granted?”

“It’s probably not wrong.”

Lennok who was quietly listening to the story spoke.

“What do you mean?”

“It means that the path we are taking now is itself a legal process.”

At that moment the stream of water that had been continuously pouring over the heads of the four people began to split on both sides.

Coo coo coo!!!

A heavy waterfall that appears to easily weigh thousands of tons splits to the left and right exposing the dam wall.

The water from the waterfall changed direction and hit the four people on the spot but no one fell from the shock.

I just stared at the cracked wall of the dam while being hit by a strong stream of water.

Felix opened his beak and raised his head in a daze muttering.

“…It was hidden in a place like this.”

The shape of a huge gateway with a warning pattern of overlapping yellow and black stripes stretching tens of meters away.

A red warning light blinked continuously on the ceiling warning of danger and a shock wave similar to a roar erupted and the gate slowly began to open.

Coo coo coo!!!

A person walked out through the gap in the slightly open gate which was barely enough for one person to enter and exit and bowed his head.

[Welcome to Kurbas Multipurpose Gravity Dam.]

His entire body is wrapped in an unknown gray suit and his face is covered in something that resembles a huge gas mask.

An incredibly bizarre design that leaves no skin exposed on a body of unknown gender.

He who was looking at the group with a gas mask shaped like a dragonfly slowly moved out of the way and opened the way into the gate.

[The manager is waiting. I will guide you.]

“…there was a superintendent at this dam.”

Illya said with a slight surprised expression.

Lennok turned his head when he heard that.

“Is there a problem?”

“Excluding the city government central council this refers to the highest public official rank.”

Felix said.

“It means that the person in charge of managing the dam is one of the less than 100 highest-ranking people in this city.”

“….”

That person probably wasn’t sent only to manage this dam. Felix and Illya realized this as soon as they heard the word manager.

The four people immediately followed the person wearing a strange gas mask into the gate.

As soon as you enter the gate the first thing you see is a hangar boasting an overwhelming floor area ratio commensurate with its size.

People wearing suits and gas masks were moving around and managing something piled up in the hangar.

The guide ignored his colleagues and led them to a remote passageway above the hangar.

Illya looked down at the people moving around beneath her with a somewhat curious expression.

“They are covering their bodies and faces without fail. “Is there something that needs hygiene or disinfection?”

“But then there would be no reason not to dress us in something similar near the hangar.”

“It’s not a disinfection or hygiene issue.”

Lennok who had been quietly looking around at Felix and Illya’s words opened his mouth.

“If you really have to ask it’s a question of survival.”

“what?”

At Lennok’s words the guide who was walking ahead of me felt a slight twitch in his shoulders.

“The magic inside the gateway is splitting into very fine pieces.”

As Lennok said that he slowly took off his gloves and lightly stroked the backs of his hands.

His incredibly sensitive ability to perceive magic power had already recognized in what manner the magic power existed in this space.

“It’s okay for a completed superhuman but if an ordinary person is exposed to it for a long time their internal organs will be damaged. “The suits they wear seem to be a measure to protect it.”

“That can’t be possible….”

“Are you saying that a phenomenon close to radiation exposure is actually occurring inside this space?”

“Radiation exposure… that would be the most accurate word.”

Lennok chuckled.

“It may be for a similar reason that they are wearing unusually large gas masks. “If this type of radiation exposure enters the respiratory tract there will be no way to survive.”

“It’s really hard to believe that something like this is happening inside the Kurbas Dam…”

Illya said with a puzzled expression.

“The 20th district is where close to one-third of people live even in a huge city. Is it really possible that such dangerous radiation exposure is occurring in a dam that manages water resources in such an area?…”

[Radiation exposure is not occurring at Kurbas Dam.]

At that moment the guide ahead quietly opened his mouth.

[The Kurbas Dam was built here to prevent exposure to magic particles.]

“What on earth is that….”

[It looks like you have already guessed. I was surprised. The rumor wasn’t false.]

Lennok did not bother to respond to the official.

I just nodded slightly with an expressionless face.

However the guide let out a low laugh as if he liked Lennok’s attitude more.

[The lifting of the prohibition law and the collapse of the boundary between sunny and shaded areas was not such a bad thing. No one could have predicted that such a powerful and fascinating wizard would exist in the darkness of the city.]

“…what?”

[I will introduce you again.]

Slam!!

After passing through dark passages and corridors we arrived at a gloomy room.

As the group entered the door closed and he slowly took off the gas mask he was wearing.

Push it profit!!

As soon as the lights turned on in the room gas and spray containing disinfectant burst out drenching the guide from head to toe.

It was only then that Lennok realized that the room they had just entered was a passageway close to a sterilization room.

The guide swept away his damp hair and opened his mouth.

“Ministry of Trade Industry and Energy Administrator Level 1 Keegan Grimes.”

A young-looking man who appeared to be around Lennok’s age smiled slightly and turned his head.

“In this operation I was in charge of guiding everyone including Lord Azlan to the closed area.”

“….”

At that moment I feel the faint movement of Felix and Illya who were standing behind me slightly changing their presence.

The face of the young man who turned his head was on the other side of an old man who looked to be well over eighty years old.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen your face Grimes.”

Keegan smiled bitterly at the words of innocence who had been watching without saying anything until now and held out his hand.

“Azlan. Nice to meet you. “Isn’t this the first time since the Juche Conference 20 years ago?”

“I am truly sorry to meet you in this situation.”

“it’s okay. “It was my doctor who accepted the position of manager of this dam.”

Keegan with a slight smile on his face pointed to a spacious conference room that was visible outside the sterilization room.

“We don’t have much time. “Can we get straight to the point?”

The manager’s eyes which had a mask-like smile on his face seemed to be shaking nervously somewhere.

“Several preparations will be needed to ‘shoot’ you within the one hour that the closed area access authority is activated.”

Grimes’ extremely meaningful message.

However Felix who was listening to that asked with a rather serious expression.

“If you’re shooting it does that mean it has to fly?”

“No it’s a little different from that…?

“Thank goodness. “It’s been over 30 years since I forgot how to fly…”

“….”

So does that mean you could fly before that?

Everyone headed to the conference room holding back the questions that naturally arose in the back of their minds.
