    The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 568

    Remnants of Memory (1)

    Big city Balkan.

    A small church located at the edge of District 3 in the very center.

    The appearance of the cathedral which was never visited by anyone bore a striking resemblance to the place where Lennok had encountered his past innocence in the Ramahal district.

    The only difference is the small goddess statue placed in the center of the chapel.

    Two old men were quietly playing chess in front of an old dusty statue of the goddess.

    Black and white stones move across the chessboard changing color and reversing the situation.

    Ascendant Jindun Zygis Ethernor was playing a game known to have been created and spread as if he was familiar with it.

    The old man holding the black stone spoke first.

    “The [records] of District 25 are finished.”

    “….”

    “It took longer than I thought. According to Kaise it was something that was made as a draft as a trial so he thought it would disappear soon.”

    Another old man holding a pure white stone looked thoughtful for a while then put down the white stone and answered.

    “Area 25… where are you talking about?”

    “Ramahal.”

    The old man holding the black stone answered immediately.

    “It was a sacred place and graveyard for traitors.”

    “Ah yes… I understand after hearing that…”

    The old man in white answered in a relaxed tone and shook his head.

    “After the development plan was completed it became very difficult to distinguish between areas… It was nice to have a name…”

    “Because there is power in names.”

    The old man in black moved the stone again without hesitation.

    Unlike the old man in white who seemed somewhat slow the old man in black seemed to have relatively less hesitation.

    “So in order to erase the names left on this land new districts were divided and numbers were assigned.”

    “Okay… I still remember… There’s no need to point it out there…”

    The white-robed old man chuckled stroking his thick beard and picking up the stone again.

    “But what were we betting on now?”

    “….”

    The old man in black seemed unable to hide his embarrassment at those words so his wrinkled hands paused for a moment.

    The black-haired old man who then casually moved the stone again spoke.

    “There are still people outside the continent who do not speak the official language.”

    “hmm.”

    “Ascendant Jinwa is trying to open the sea for them. “We will build a higher standard by embracing even those who do not speak our language.”

    “It’s no longer a human way of thinking….”

    It is not about completing and transcending on your own but building on the faith and hopes of others.

    It is an altar created not for those who have already attempted ascension but for those who are called gods.

    And those who claim the name of God in this world are only swimming towards the end on the other side of the sea of ​​darkness.

    The old man in black said as he moved the stone.

    “I plan to grant Jinwa’s request.”

    “Why?”

    “Originally we should not have further increased the uncontrollable variables at this point but…”

    Almost all of the chess board has already turned black with only a few hundred stones left.

    The old man in white just played with the white stone and asked if he didn’t have much will to continue the game.

    However the old man in black continued to answer sincerely.

    “With Evan Bylan introducing anti-gravity technology all skies on the continent will be opened at least to begin with. “It means we have the option to filter them out while listening to Jinwa’s demands.”

    “okay….”

    “It was a bet on whether the five hundred lions we are placing here will transfer the authority to open the continent to the south.”

    “….”

    The old man in black continued to speak to the silent old man in white.

    “We will connect the traces swept by Gyebaek with waterways in the southern continent to supply water to the jungle. At the same time it will become a huge waterway that can bring in life from outside the continent.”

    “…Was this in the plan too?”

    “of course.”

    The old man in black said.

    “Scenario 25 was discarded when the project was conceived. “It is a legacy of the [Grand Canal] scenario which promised to connect waterways around the world by sequentially opening all waterways on the continent.”

    “….”

    “Do you know why I am explaining this bet to you again?”

    The black old man said so and slowly picked up the black stone.

    “I don’t know if you remember but this has been one of the games we used to play before big decisions for a long time.”

    Each time each person’s hand gestures cross the chess board fills with black.

    The old man in black who was on the verge of victory spoke in a calm voice.

    “It was a childish battle of pride as if trying to control the fate of the world in one’s hands made no sense if one couldn’t win even 500 of them.”

    “I see.”

    “If Crood Azlan had filled in the broken parts of his past self we might have been able to see if he could cure your terrible forgetfulness…”

    It doesn’t matter now that I won the Obaekro.

    The moment the old man in black said that and was waiting for the other person to throw a stone.

    “Being good at drawing the big picture has always been your specialty.”

    The white-robed old man said.

    “But that’s why we end up making mistakes in small details. “Decades have passed since Kaise’s death and it still hasn’t been fixed.”

    “…what?”

    Instead of answering the white-robed old man picked up a white stone and placed it on the chess board.

    At that moment the few white stones left on the board were all connected around that starting point creating a huge house.

    All the black stones that filled the chess board were turned over to white stones.

    Charrrrrrr!!

    A miraculous twist that is hard to believe even when you see it with your own eyes.

    While the old man in black was at a loss for words the old man in white spoke leisurely.

    “The military city will not follow your will noble Senate President.”

    “….”

    “Kaise’s legacy isn’t all right but Jinwa is no longer worth watching.”

    The white-robed old man who had suddenly regained his sharp focus leisurely organized the stones in his hand and spoke.

    “If you really respect the time we spent working together please follow my decision.”

    “…I see.”

    The black-haired old man who was looking at the board in silence smiled casually and organized the chess pieces together.

    “Now that you’re finally in good condition shall we talk more about what’s going on in the world?”

    Without waiting for an answer the old man in black spoke again.

    “These days King Myeong’s activities are becoming more dangerous by the day. “They travel around the continent and cause destruction to all kinds of cities and the level of destruction is at an insane level.”

    “….”

    “Do you know that the Hedro warlord’s internal military discipline is in jeopardy? They say the relationship between the four generals supporting the enemy is cracking. Something big might happen soon.”

    The black-haired old man laughed hollowly as if recalling an old memory.

    “A long time ago we used to talk loudly and drink all night long with these stories as snacks… Sometimes I miss that construction site where there wasn’t even a capitol building.”

    “…It’s been over several decades.”

    “that’s right.”

    The old man in black also agreed with what the old man in white said.

    “So as we approach retirement we should no longer obsess over such trivial bets.”

    “….”

    “The game is over. “The plan will continue to progress.”

    From the beginning the old man in black had no intention of leaving his decision to the outcome of the Five Hundred Roads.

    “Then it is inevitable. “Follow the laws established by your senior.”

    The eyes of the white-robed old man looking at the market slowly began to blur again.

    “Even the Five White Horses that used the world as a piece of chess need recovery… I want to think about it a little more….”

    “….”

    An old man in white who closed his eyes and became quiet as if he was falling asleep. The figure disappears like a ghost as if it never existed in the first place.

    A state in which the separation and separation of being and body can be freely dealt with through a leap of thought.

    This is another possibility that can be reached by transcending the path of military command.

    The black old man looked at the scene picked up the last white stone he had put down and left.

    A brief breeze passed by and only the quiet image of the goddess statue remained in the cathedral.

    * * *

    Whioooo!!

    The wind blowing through the landscape of an old power plant.

    Felix slowly opened his eyes feeling the breeze passing by the tip of his beak.

    “You’re awake.”

    The sight of a young man fiddling with something for a while with his back to Felix.

    At the end of the young man’s coat sleeve the chain of an old pocket watch was shaking faintly.

    Felix stared blankly at the scene for a while and muttered.

    “half…?”

    Turning his back Lennok poured the unknown liquid he was holding into the tip of Felix’s beak.

    “Drink it all the way. “I’m going to use a lot.”

    “what? Ugh?!!”

    Felix’s eyes who had been muttering without properly understanding the words opened.

    A gigantic body covered in feathers shook violently on the spot.

    “Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!! Kekkeek!! “Pretty sweet!!”

    The sight of Felix clutching his burning throat and screaming like a real bird.

    Lennok said lightly shaking off the empty glass bottle.

    “The damage to my body was getting worse from using the magical power of arrival so I used some urgent help.”

    “…!!”

    “I didn’t care about the taste because it was a potion made without a workbench so take it at your own risk. So who told you to abuse the Ascendant’s magic power?”

    “Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!!”

    Felix can no longer scream and is rolling around on the floor clutching his beak with both hands.

    However it was inevitable in order to quickly shake off the magic of arrival that remained in the body.

    The battle hammer was taken away by Croken but the magic power of ‘Dorae’ the ascendant who died in the process remained in Felix’s body.

    To make this operation a success Felix was putting aside his own safety and using the magical power of Do-rae.

    Lennok sat down on the stone wall of a nearby ruin looking at Felix drool dripping from the tip of his beak.

    “If you continue to use the dead Ascendant’s magic power you yourself will be consumed by it. “You probably don’t know how dangerous it is.”

    “Cough…!! yes….”

    Felix wiped his mouth with difficulty and stood up.

    “It was close this time too. “If you hadn’t helped me I would have had to stay in the hospital for a while.”

    Just as the body of a person remains after death the will and magic of a powerful transcendent remain in this world even after his death.

    Even more so if you are an ascender who has reached level 9 you are at a level where you can imprint your existence on the world.

    Regardless of what kind of superhuman nature Ascendant Dorae was no one knows how dense and filled with dangerous emotions the magic he left behind upon his death was.

    “What would happen if you risked your own death through Geass and left your remains in the world?”

    Lennok asked.

    “Hundreds of years have passed since Dorae died and disappeared but his magic still remains in this world. “If the Ascendant himself left the remains under conditions it would never have been out of good will.”

    “….”

    Lennok smiled slightly as he looked at Felix who was silent.

    “No it can’t really be said that way….”

    Sasangjeon Hanghasa Labyrinth.

    Ascended Zyggis Ethernor accepted death at the hands of the leader of Pandemonium at the last moment.

    It’s absurd but it was possible because Jin-dun himself believed that his death and its consequences would be more helpful to the world.

    If you think about it Dorae may not have left his magical power in the world just because of evil or malicious obsession.

    At least it was clear that the magic power that was eating away at Felix’s body was not a very good power.

    “You might not know but I don’t have time to debate the good and evil of power.”

    Felix said and struggled to get up.

    After shaking off the remains and dust from the stone the bird-headed giant grabbed the handle of the hammer sticking out nearby and lifted it up.

    Rumbling!!

    Felix who was carrying the hammer out from between the collapsed rubble responded by bending his neck from side to side.

    “I just do what I need to do at the time I need to. It’s been a long time since means and methods ceased to be important. If I keep walking like that step by step won’t someone one day take my place?”

    “….”

    I remember hearing something similar to that from someone who had just passed away bearing the responsibility of the past.

    Even Lennok who did not show much appreciation for others found it difficult to forget the moments that had passed today.

    Lennok looks lost in thought reliving the feel of the pocket watch kept in his coat pocket.

    Felix grabbed Lennok’s shoulder and shook him with a puzzled expression.

    “half?”

    “…It’s nothing. “Why do you do that?”

    “Where are Ilya and Azlan? “Before I lost consciousness I could feel it but now I can’t feel it at all.”

    Felix looked around as he said that and then his eyes widened as if he realized something.

    “Now wait a minute…!! Come to think of it Kaise and the others…!!!!”

    “I think the fact that I’m finally remembering that is enough of a reason not to use the magic of arrival.”

    Lennok smiled and briefly explained what had happened.

    “It’s all over. “You probably won’t be trapped in the past timeline again.”

    “That can’t be possible….”

    Felix’s expression was filled with shock and admiration when he heard what Kaise’s last days were like but soon sank down to a sullen look.

    “In the end I didn’t get to see how things were resolved until the end… This time all I could do was deal with the enemy in front of me.”

    “We both did what we had to do. “Don’t worry too much.”

    Lennok understood how valuable it was to have a warrior like Felix outnumbering and organizing the composition.

    The fact that he never loses sight of what he has to do in such a chaotic battlefield is itself a great talent.

    If you ask me didn’t Lennok also handle things in a way that helped Kaise develop her territory?

    “Where are the others?”

    Instead of answering Lennok pointed at Felix’s feet.

    Felix’s complexion turned pale as he looked at a pair of thin legs sticking out from under the pile of rubble as he pulled out the hammer.

    “You should have told me sooner…!!”

    “I didn’t think he would come to his senses until I gave him the potion anyway so I left him alone.”

    While Felix hurriedly pulled out Illya’s unconscious body and laid her down Lennok poured the second finished potion into Illya’s mouth.

    “…!!!”

    Illya’s eyes brightened and a fierce spark began to glow between them.

    The effect is so intense that her body functions equipped with mechanical parts in the form of a cyborg are overloaded.

    Illya jumped up from her seat feeling as if she had been punched in the face and looked at the two people blankly.

    “…half? Felix?”

    “It’s a reaction as if you were measuring it with a ruler.”

    “Kaise… what happened to the others?”

    “….”

    Felix cleared his throat in response to Illya’s quick question.

    Lennok immediately explained to her briefly what had happened just a moment ago.

    “I see… It couldn’t have been Kaise himself…”

    Ilya hesitated unable to speak for a while then slowly nodded.

    “What a great person. “How can you not hesitate so much when you know that you are from the past?”

    “It was the manly spirit that allowed him to take control of the secret world of the Balkans. “I agree.”

    “I’ll just leave my thoughts on this incident and slowly move on.”

    Felix asked looking at Lennok who turned around.

    “Are you planning to return right away without even investigating the situation in the closed area?”

    “No there is one thing left to solve first.”

    “You mean something that needs to be resolved…?”

    As Ilya said that she tilted her head and followed Lennok’s gaze spotting the fallen figure in the distance and her face hardened.

    The white coat was torn to shreds looking like a mess. Pure white hair that had been plucked cut and tangled.

    Even though he was completely exhausted he recognized our presence and slowly regained consciousness.

    Claude Azlan was looking this way with his brilliant eyes shining.

    Lennok seeing such innocence gently tugged on the strap of his pocket watch.

    “Then… shall we first check if Tulianmun’s guardian remembers his name?”
