Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 571



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 571

Remnants of Memory (4)

[This was a study started to prepare a new test bed for the Black Consumer Project but through this I learned that what could be obtained was not preservation of records but only abandonment.]

“….”

[Even if I fix space and time only the failed possibility of myself is thrown away. If the possibilities were closed at the point where it was fixed it would be impossible to use it as a testbed for the project. No rather it is closer to backward compatibility of the project.]

The journal did not end there.

Lennok immediately turned to the next page.

[March 17th. Alkaid has proposed that the results of this research be preserved in this area instead of being discarded.]

“It’s called preservation….”

[I don’t think it’s wrong to say that there might be some use for it someday but I thought it probably wasn’t for getting the project up and running again.]

“….”

[He is watching the survival of the world with an incredibly macroscopic and inhumane perspective. Although he contributes more to the project than anyone else on the other hand he doesn’t seem to have higher expectations than anyone else. I once asked him directly about this fact.]

Kaise was not the type of person to write down a lot of facts on one page of his journal so there wasn’t much information written on each page.

I frantically turned the next page.

[He said that if you repeat countless failures you will forget the sense of success itself. This is an incongruous statement considering the countless spin-off plans of the projects he has succeeded so far.]

[Somehow the sense of the correct answer built within him seemed so vast that it could not even be compared to what we think. Others may not have realized it yet but I understood that the answer was similar to the feeling of despair that comes at the end of an infinitely ominous future.]

Kaise’s once steady handwriting was a little disorganized.

[The project fails. The world will sink in a sea of ​​darkness. I had to accept that fact.]

“….”

At this point did Kaise understand that the world’s ending was infinitely hopeless and that even the black consumer project was hopeless?

The log continued from that point back to the next date.

[March 18th. I was a little depressed but after taking a nap and waking up I felt better. I might not be dead when the world ends but doesn’t that matter?]

“…”

Lennok was speechless at the sudden and irresponsible change in writing style.

I even had to look through the pages for a moment to see if the journal had been ripped out or changed.

[Those who could not overcome the feeling of despair that came from time to time gave up on research and left. Maybe it was headed to the central city the only place on this continent where rest exists.]

Central city Arsnova.

Lennok stopped turning the pages for a moment after seeing those words.

The truth about the project obtained during the decisive battle with Madrich Onion.

The evil that the failure of the Black Consumer Project destroyed the central city.

[Although the nobles of Arsnova pretend not to know it is clear that Yorta’s Night Journey and Machina’s Gate of Ascension are to some extent the result of them. I guess it wasn’t enough to play with cause and effect by creating a being who failed to ascend to heaven.]

“…”

[It was not called the central city because it took control of the continent’s most fertile granary. The saying goes that one-third of the continent belongs to the center. It may even be the ending of this world-]

The journal was cut off at that point and the remaining pages were all blank.

The strange thing was that the last page was torn as if someone had torn it out.

The ending of this world. Secrets about the central city.

Did Kaise leave that crucial clue without leaving it in this journal?

The moment Lennok checked the blank space left in the journal and quietly touched the page.

“It means that one of the three endings left in this world existed in Arsnova.”

A voice came from behind me.

It was as if he were continuing to explain the blank spaces in Kaise’s research log.

“….”

Despite the tone coming without any sign Lennok was not surprised.

Because I knew from the beginning that he had no intention of attacking me.

A young man wearing a tuxedo caught Lennok’s eyes as he slowly turned his gaze.

A slim physique and a strange expression with a kind smile. Her beautiful platinum-blonde hair almost white is impressive.

Wearing a long fedora and wearing white gloves and holding a wand in his hand the figure looked like a magician participating in a show.

Looking at Lennok he took off his hat with a slow hand and bowed slowly with an exaggerated gesture.

“Nice to meet you class. “I can finally say hello to you.”

“Who is it?”

“Unofficial external advisor under the city government central council.”

The young man stood up and said with a smile on his face.

“And he is the herald who represents the will of the Senate.”

“….”

“I have many names but I think calling me Silford will suffice.”

An insider who works in both the Central Assembly and the Senate.

Does a messenger ultimately mean a superhuman who carries out the will of the city?

And Lennok knew of one of the people he had defeated who held a similar position.

“It looks like Madrich Onion’s successor has been decided.”

“Exactly. “Do you have a good feeling?”

Silford a young man who narrowed his eyes and winked smiled and nodded.

“Originally you who personally defeated Onion were considered as a strong candidate but as the closed-zone incident broke out and your whereabouts became unknown the opportunity returned to me.”

“….”

Light and pleasant tone of voice. A tone and tone that is almost comical.

However Lennok recognized that contrary to his opponent’s light appearance the young man was capable of being both a great warrior and a magician.

It is similar at first glance to the clown who went crazy to deceive his own hierarchy but is completely different.

The friendly tone and polite attitude are a mask for thorough self-control.

Perhaps what is hidden there belongs to a murderer who is accustomed to blood and fighting.

“The reason I told you information that wasn’t written in Kaise’s journal was to thank you for that fact.”

Silford smiled and adjusted his hat again.

“The third ending known to have existed in Arsnova was something Kaise could only vaguely guess about at the time.”

“….”

“Kaise recorded his guesses in his journal several times… and the Senate has faithfully recovered the information.”

He pointed to the journal Lennok was holding with his white-gloved hands.

“And that is one of the duties that those who hold the position of herald must fulfill.”

“It is a duty that must be resolved….”

After listening to that Lennok realized what kind of person the opponent was and why he had been chosen as Onion’s successor at this point.

“As expected you were also involved in the Black Consumer Project.”

The young man in front of me is also a powerful person with tremendous history having participated in the Black Consumer Project decades ago and is one of the people involved in the incident at the time.

Therefore as soon as Onion died he took over the position of messenger of the Senate and was able to engage in external activities.

“Hmm rather than an official…”

said Silford who was fiddling with the brim of his hat with an embarrassed smile.

“Those who stayed in the Balkans at the time had no choice but to become involved with the Kaise in some way. “You either cooperate with him or you oppose him… I was closer to the former.”

“You cooperated with the project but you weren’t an official?”

“Kaise’s will was too great for me to ignore him. “Isn’t it foolish to play around with the survival of the world on the scale of success and failure?”

Silford giggled in amusement and clicked his wand slowly.

“As I said before I came today to retrieve Kaise’s research diary but…”

Sreung!!

The appearance of a sharp blade vaguely visible through the handle of a cane.

While Lennok gazed deeply at the scene Silford casually hid the blade and said.

“Ahh very special!! “I’ll just pretend I didn’t see you today and move on.”

“….”

“Huh? The response isn’t as good as I thought? “I am doing my duty to you who handed me this position.”

“You mean acting as Onion’s successor and carrying out the will of the Senate? “I’m not interested.”

Lennok responded angrily.

“If you were tied up there and your nose was pierced you wouldn’t be able to move like you are now. “I don’t want those restraints or shackles.”

City government central council. Or as members of the Senate the opportunity to observe them from afar is not a waste of money.

However if you join hands with them as a class member you will have to give up a lot of the freedom and authority you gained in the dark.

As long as we operate under their management it will become difficult to play around with various identities like we do now.

Because Lennok knew that he did not have any regrets about that place.

At this point in time when the social status is divided into several the task of moving up the line of the central council is not half.

There was no need to cling to Silford’s position as researcher Evan who had immediately gained attention from higher-ups through the announcement of anti-gravity technology had already seized the opportunity there.

“I see… Hmm I thought you would like it if it meant boldly giving up your first mission.”

When Silford whose shoulders were drooping with a sullen expression grumbled Lennok chuckled.

“I don’t know why you pretend to be generous. Didn’t you already guess the contents of the research log and thought it wasn’t worth securing?

“….”

“It looks like he finished calculating when he spoke to me but if I thought you wouldn’t notice that would be even weirder.”

Lennok had no intention of accepting a favor from someone he had never met before.

“You would have already noticed that the radiation exposure phenomenon in the closed area has ended and all you have to do is report it to the higher-ups. “You only came to see me to find out in advance what happened here.”

Lennok’s eyes glowed coldly as he looked at the smiling Silford.

“I guess that’s because I want to see how much more I know about Kaise.”

“…You have no hesitation in your words or actions. “As I heard he’s incredibly smart.”

Sighing lightly Silford slowly took off one of his gloves and grinned.

“But if you act so honestly you are bound to be hated by foolish people.”

The moment the young man touched the air with his bare gloved hands a platinum-colored light burst from the tips of his fingers and enveloped Lennok.

Damn it!!

The color of platinum light that harvests the magic flowing around Lennok as if it harvests the power of space and time itself.

However Lennok ignored the unknown magical power that was binding his body and stared into his eyes.

“I have only encountered magic similar to this once.”

The Mysterious Eye of the Ore White that she offered as compensation in Oliveira Ron Maze’s laboratory.

The magic power that flowed from the object that was said to be the apple of the central city commander’s eyes is flowing from Silford’s fingertips in the same way.

“And the name Silford… did you really think I wouldn’t know who that name meant?”

A fallen ascendant who shot his body to the outside world through the well of the handbook.

Gyebaek Aurel Silford.

Lennok never forgot that name for a moment.

Those two facts originating from a young man point to only one thing.

“A nobleman of the central city. “He also comes from a very high social status.”

Lennok asked.

“Isn’t it true that you were able to give me information about Arsnova because you were from that city?”

“….”

The expression disappeared from Silford’s face for an instant.

The moment Lennok said that the glow that bound his body disappeared like a lie.

wickedness!!

The young man who had been adjusting the brim of his hat with his head slightly lowered slowly adjusted his gloves again.

“Uhuhu…. Is this why I can’t deal with quick-witted friends for a long time?”

Silford who had regained his composure as if it were a lie grinned at Lennok and shook his head.

“That’s all for today. “I am not the only one who has been nominated as Onion’s successor and there will be many opportunities for us to meet in the future.”

After saying that Silford turned around and added another word as if he remembered something.

“But you’d better be careful too.”

“What do you mean?”

“You said that everyone at that time either cooperated with or opposed Kaise.”

The young man said squinting his eyes.

“Those who were hostile to the Caise still survive and reside in the National Assembly and the Senate.”

“….”

“There are people everywhere who don’t like the truth. “Today you have come so close to the secret that you have surely obtained a piece of the truth…”

The moment he shakes his tuxedo suit slightly Silford’s body slowly fades away on the spot.

The young man laughed as he disappeared as if melting into thin air.

“Someone will be very upset about that.”

Slurp!!

The young man’s body scatters and disappears on the spot as if disappearing through the curtains of an invisible space.

The messenger who was appointed as Onion’s successor was a man so sly and mysterious that his thoughts could not be read.

The fact that such a powerful person has finally come to the forefront is proof that he has returned after being away from the Balkans for quite some time.

Lennok’s eyes sank coldly.

‘He is a noble from the central city who uses the same last name as Gyebaek…’

Lennok who personally dismantled the fallen Ascendant’s Geass knew that even his relatives were sacrificed in Arsnova to create Gyebaek.

In the process those with the same surname of Silford would also have been consumed as sacrifices to challenge Gyebaek’s ascension.

Nevertheless is it really a coincidence that a being calling itself Silford is still alive and wandering the continent?

But Lennok put those worries aside for a moment and reopened the journal he had closed.

There was no other reason for stopping the investigation of the journal when Silford’s existence was recognized.

A research log left behind by Kaise. This is because I sensed that there was something more hidden here than just the secrets of the central city.

If the last page of a research journal that no one has touched for decades is torn the culprit is none other than Kaise himself who wrote the journal.

Kaise had taken special measures to ensure that only those who knew his secret could see the last page of the diary.

‘The method itself will not have changed. Considering the traces left here I guess…’

He collects Kaise’s blood which was used to track the control room and carefully applies it to the last torn page of the journal.

Support…!!

As if the paper of a journal that had been forcibly torn was regenerated by going back in time it slowly forms fibers and sticks to the end of the journal.

What filled the last page of the diary was not a text left by Kaise but a picture.

An elaborate blueprint depicting the shape of a huge room.

The shape of unknown numbers scribbled underneath the blueprint.

[135472522654. 324715284163.]

“Is it a ciphertext?”

[If you look at the number format it doesn’t seem like it would have been that complicated.]

Dabi whose ears perked up in his arms looked at the numbers and immediately guessed the correct answer.

[The fields that use numbers with such large units are limited. Among them if the two numbers have the same number of digits they will be planetary reference coordinates using a billion-unit coordinate system.]

Dabi raised a holographic map in front of Lennok and quickly began tracking him based on his hypothesis.

[If we set March 15th 17th 18th and 21st as the standard which is estimated to be the date of the journal writing and start calculating coordinates centered on the Balkans there are a total of four candidate locations that are converted according to date. And among them the region that is presumed to have the most significant analysis results is….]

“…Machine City Machina.”

Lennok’s eyes sank deeply as he checked the location marked with a red dot on the map.

Unlike the other three candidate locations the coordinates based on March 21st accurately pointed to the name of a city.

“I see. “The reason he left his journal in the area where he finished his research in the first place…”

Kaise did not simply abandon this area after failing to conduct space-time fixation research.

The secret of the central city of Arsnova discovered through Alkaid when research failed.

An extension of the Black Consumer Project.

Kaise had hidden the clues and destination on the last page to prove his guess that he had left in his journal.
