Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 572



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 572

Remnants of Memory (5)

After realizing that Kaise had hidden the secret he learned in the machine city Machina.

Lennok then inspected all of the remaining facilities at the power plant and returned with the artifacts and materials he had obtained.

“We obtained materials including daily necessities from the dormitory and warehouse.”

Illya too must have had a harvest of her own as she was carrying various books and items such as magic catalysts.

“During the research process a large amount of various catalysts were used so there was a lot of material left. “If we guess the origin we may be able to find more clues.”

“You had a hard time.”

After saying that Felix opened his beak slightly when he saw Lennok who had followed him late.

“Has that…?”

“It fell in the power room.”

Slam!!

Lennok who lifted Gileon’s armored wings by fixing them with magic thread answered.

“It is damaged and cannot be used immediately but the function itself can be restored by replacing the internal parts and connecting the circuit.”

Gilleon had its own flight capabilities decades ago before anti-gravity technology was developed.

This is probably because the armored wings themselves have flight-related abilities and functions separate from Gileon’s natural magic power and special abilities.

If it is properly repaired and its function is restored Lennok may be able to acquire that ability.

Even though he had been exposed to radiation there was a little bit of Kaise’s blood on it so there was no reason to leave such an item behind.

“In addition we obtained a large number of artifacts and research equipment parts from Kaise’s laboratory. “Let’s talk about it in detail once we leave the enclosed area.”

“That would be a good idea. “We have just completed our own preparations to escort Crood Azlan.”

“what?”

Lennok turned his gaze towards Innocence at those words but then silently closed his mouth.

This is because the innocent’s neck and both wrists were caught in a long steel plate and restrained in the form of a sword.

Innocence who had his head down looked at Lennok and smiled as if he were having trouble.

“If this makes you feel safe then it doesn’t matter to me…”

“….”

For a level 8 super-talented person a steel plate like this is nothing more than a piece of paper but should it still be said to be better than nothing?

“Okay let’s move for now. “I obtained more items than I expected so it would be a good idea to bring a means of transportation.”

Lennok said so picked an abandoned jeep near the power plant repaired it in an instant and started the engine.

Wow!!

“It’s an old piece of junk that’s been around for decades but you’ve managed to do some work to it.”

Felix glances at the jeep with a curious expression.

Lennok who was shaking off the dust that had accumulated on the steering wheel answered.

“The parts are worn out and worn out but the internal structure is not damaged at all. “It would have been a functioning item decades ago.”

“No isn’t it true that it is broken? “If it had been parked near the power plant it would have definitely been severely exposed to radiation…”

Lennok nodded looking at Illya who was confused.

“that’s right. “Almost all of the internal wires and circuits had melted away.”

“Then how…”

“Just replace the passage that connects the power of the internal components with horsepower.”

“….”

“It materializes magic power in the form of a long thin passage and allows it to take over the role of a circuit for a short period of time. “It’s not that difficult once you get used to it.”

“It’s not a difficult task. “I couldn’t even try in the first place.”

“I agree.”

Lenok accompanied by a group of people who reacted with an expression of bewilderment quickly escaped the closed area and arrived at the water gate outside Kurbas Dam.

Unlike when I first entered the area the way out of the area was awkwardly easy.

While Felix explained the whole story to Keegan Grimes who rushed out with his hair a mess and handed over his innocence Lennok sat behind the wheel of the jeep and asked about the beginning of the year.

As I was trying to force myself to stay conscious while blowing away the rising smoke I saw that Innocence was being restrained by the soldiers that Keegan had brought.

This action was carried out arbitrarily without consultation at the time of the operation and for extremely personal and inhumane purposes.

It must have been difficult not to point out the departure from the operation that started under the instructions of the Central Council and the Senate.

Claude also knew that this would happen so he wasn’t that surprised.

Innocent whose entire body was tightly bound by the special forces who followed Keegan walked in front of Lennok and stopped tall.

“Hey hey…!!”

The trembling voice of the special forces member who was escorting him from behind.

They are transporting him for work but they know how meaningless it is against a level 8 superhuman.

If Innocence were to go on a rampage against reason again everyone here except Lennok and the others would be torn apart and turned into pieces of meat.

But even though Lennok knew this he calmly smoked a cigarette as he watched Innocence walking towards him.

Lennok asked as he faced Innocence whose entire body was wrapped like a coffin with thick chains and steel ropes.

“You walk just fine even with your limbs bound. “Is that also a martial arts trick?”

“If you ask me that’s the way it is.”

Claud laughed.

“If you want I can teach you directly.”

“I refuse.”

Lennok also chuckled at the answer.

“I’ve been through too much to believe that promise and now the back of my head feels numb.”

“Hehehe….”

Innocence said with a helpless laugh.

“Even though there was help from Lord Kaise it was absolutely your will that decided my treatment.”

“….”

“I will never forget this grace that gave me this opportunity. “It is a way of protecting the martial arts world and I will always repay you in the name of Claude Azlan.”

It is not easy to even bow your head with the iron rope wrapped all the way around your neck.

But even so innocence slowly bent the restraints surrounding itself and lowered its head towards Lennok.

While watching the innocent figure casually disappearing beyond the floodgates Keegan who came up next to Lennok spoke.

“Azlan will be transported to a special prison after a military trial.”

“Military trial?”

“The agenda in the closed area is actually being treated as a wartime operation.”

Keegan who looked a dozen years older than when he first started the operation smiled weakly.

“Because he almost ruined the operation by acting alone in a wartime situation his responsibility is also subject to aggravated punishment.”

“….”

“As you were in charge of this operation it will be difficult to avoid being accused of treason. “I think he will probably be imprisoned for quite some time…”

When he realized that he was going crazy he probably had no intention of going back and forth.

However even though Lennok knew that fact it was not out of mercy or favor that he used the power of the pocket watch at that time to save the innocent.

A rare opportunity to use the power of a pocket watch without any burden or responsibility to a living human being.

And the existence of a sense of debt that Innocence who was given such a temporary opportunity would have towards Lennok.

This was because he thought that in addition to using Kaise’s power he would be of help someday if he owed Crood Azlan a debt.

Should we hope he doesn’t stay in prison for a long time?

Either way it was no longer something Lennok could do. That didn’t work either.

Keegan was sweating non-stop with an anxious expression on his face and Lennok began to guide him with his trembling hands.

“Following orders from above we will first settle this matter at the Kurbas Dam control room. Are you sure you don’t mind?”

* * *

The conference room of Kurbas Dam where the strategy to enter the closed area was first planned.

The neat and tidy scenery at the time was everywhere but the conference room was extremely messy.

It was a mess with all kinds of documents food debris clothing as well as pen sticks and ink rolling around.

It looked as if dozens of people had been staying overnight for several days.

Lennok who saw dozens of screen transmitters attached to the walls of the conference room and dozens of broken communication devices rolling around easily guessed what had happened.

‘When the signal arrived in the middle it was said to be about the 840th attempt.’

Were they trying to contact Lennok immediately after entering the closed area and losing contact and were they looking for people outside to help with this matter?

As soon as Lennok and Felix Ilya sat down on the chairs in the conference room the atmosphere in the conference room became heavy.

“….”

He somehow managed to come to his senses and sit there but his attitude was somewhat dazed.

Even those with physical abilities of a holy level like Felix and Ilya cannot help but feel fatigue due to what has happened so far.

Keegan and the other attendants seemed to be no different as they were all moving with a somewhat dazed expression.

If it weren’t for the settlement of this matter there are a lot of people who would need to lie down somewhere and take a rest right now.

Keegan who was sitting in the center of the conference room came to his senses and spoke first.

“About 3 hours ago now. So immediately after communication began to be reconnected… we confirmed that the radiation exposure phenomenon inside the closed area had completely disappeared.”

“….”

“I would like to congratulate and thank you for the success of the operation inside the closed area. “It is entirely your credit for preventing the entire water resources in the 20th district from being exposed to radiation and saving the people.”

When Keegan gestured the attendant who was standing in a daze hurriedly turned on the projector.

There were also deep dark circles around the attendant’s eyes.

Keegan spoke on the projector screen confirming the results of the survey showing that the concentration of exposed particles detected in the dam’s water had decreased and that the interior landscape which had not been observed outside the closed area was being observed.

“However during the course of this operation there were too many violations of responsibility and excesses of authority both in the field and in the office so I plan to take responsibility for this incident and step down from my position as manager.”

“…Administrator Grimes is that the Administrator’s own will?”

The eyes of Felix who had been listening to the story blankly with his beak open returned to focus.

“If it is the result of someone else’s coercion rather than your own will you can formally raise an objection here.”

“….”

“I know how much effort the administrator put into this operation. “If you unexpectedly end up taking on unnecessary responsibility and resign from your position-”

“Thank you for your words.”

Keegan smiled and took Felix’s words.

“It is entirely my will to step down from public office. In fact because I was thinking about that I was able to do this without thinking about the consequences.”

“…I see.”

Felix’s reaction was to close his eyes and lean back in his chair as if he was sad.

Lennok was able to understand Felix’s thoughts to some extent.

The Kurbas Dam control room is a top-secret facility where entry is strictly prohibited except for those involved.

Keegan’s judgment was so bold that he invited Oliveira the cartel’s chairman to seek advice solely based on his determination to solve the case.

Regardless of how helpful that judgment was in this operation it is natural for Keegan to take responsibility for organizing the post-war process.

“What happens from now on?”

“I was holding you back to explain that part. From now on I will tell you how District 25 will be treated.”

Hearing Illya’s words Keegan slowly caught his breath.

As he winked at the surroundings the other attendants left the conference room in perfect order as if they had made an appointment.

A quiet conference room scene with only four people sitting around a spacious conference room table.

Keegan opened his mouth quietly with the silent stream of water pouring from the dam beyond the window.

“There is a very high probability that Area 25 will be released from its decades-long quarantine.”

“….”

Everyone understood the meaning and remained silent.

Designation of a closed area that has never changed since the megacity Balkan was divided into districts and development was completed.

Does this mean that District 25 will be the first to end quarantine and be released from the lockdown?

“The Senate of the Central Council has created a manual on change of use or merger and separation of areas during the urban expansion and development plan. “I saw the manual myself a long time ago.”

Keegan continued.

“Among them there was also a provision that if the purpose of the closed area was completely exhausted and lost its meaning the environment of the area would be rebuilt and opened to fit the purposes of the surrounding area.”

“Do you think a manual created decades ago can be maintained at this point?”

Lennok asked.

“If it were merely a provision made in preparation for a possible situation it would be difficult to keep it due to the interests of the city government and council.”

Regardless of whether the relevant provisions actually exist the situation in megacities has continued to change over the decades.

It is not surprising that few of the city government officials who created the provisions at the time remain.

If it is merely a formal provision prepared for the future it is rather awkward to expect that it will be observed.

But Keegan listened to Lennok and slowly shook his head.

“no. “Almost certainly the closed areas will end their quarantine and be opened up.”

“Why?”

“This is because the areas divided into megacity expansion and development plans are not the result of simple administrative measures.”

“….”

“The reason those in power in the past city government removed the names of already existing districts and added numbers was not simply to make management easier.”

Keegan said emphatically.

“It was a trick to hide the city’s darkest and greatest secret in the cracks of the district without anyone knowing.”

The city’s darkest and greatest secret.

Is there anyone who doesn’t know that it is a by-product of the failure of the Black Consumer Project?

However the fact that the entire district was completely reorganized to hide the negative effects was the first time Lennok had heard of it.

Felix didn’t seem to know that either as he wriggled his eyebrows and twitched his beak.

“Are you saying that the by-products of a project that only existed as a rumor are hidden in the cracks of the district?”

“Are you saying that a gap in the area actually exists?”

Illya asked back with a devastated expression.

“There will be a gap that arises when considering the area of ​​a large city visible on a satellite map and the actual three-dimensional effect.”

Lennok who was thinking while pounding on the table opened his mouth.

“With a few technical measures it is not difficult to create a space that no one knows about at the time of design. “Is that what you want to say?”

“No one knows which area of ​​the city the secret was hidden.”

Keegan answered.

“But that is the only possibility I can think of at this point when the truth is that the project was a failure and it is clear that all of its by-products have not been dealt with.”

“These are too dangerous words to risk one’s position as a manager.”

Felix said looking around the conference room.

“Was the reason you bit people from the beginning to explain this to us?”

“I thought that was the duty I should tell everyone who returned after such a dangerous operation.”

Keegan nodded weakly and spoke again.

“After receiving the comment from Maze I immediately realized what he meant by saying that and looked through all the related materials.”

“Maze?”

“Oliviera Ron Maze. “I guess I can’t remember my last name.”

In response to Felix’s tilt of his head Lennok explained on his behalf.

“Did the cartel’s chairman give you a direct message?”

“yes. As a result we realized that the lifting of quarantine measures in closed areas was not the will of the city government itself but an inevitable measure to maintain the overall structure of the allocated areas.”

Just because there is a manual that was set in the past does not mean that it is followed.

Keegan was saying that only by following the manual could they maintain the district structure of the megacity they had designated.

Because the countless areas of the megacity now allocated through numbers were themselves one of the means of hiding their failures.

Keegan said operating the projector himself to display a map of District 25.

“As Area 25 is located close to the Kurbas Dam and the 20th Division’s living area it will probably be used for similar purposes after the quarantine measures are lifted.”

“….”

“During that process collaboration with various construction projects and development projects will take place actively.”

Keegan said and smiled mischievously for the first time.

“Do you understand what this means?”

“…hmm?”

The group’s expressions changed slightly at Keegan’s sudden question.

Only then did Lennok laugh realizing why Keegan had explained the future of the closed area by revealing such a secret.

“I see. Since the city government cannot directly provide compensation were you planning to handle it this way?”

“Isn’t this a closed-off area of ​​land that you restored on your own?”

At the same time the key contents of the District 25 redevelopment plan manual naturally appear on the screen.

When redeveloping a closed area it explains where commercial districts including the subway will be designed where government offices will be built and how far the area expansion will proceed.

The moment when Felix and Illya belatedly recognized the value of that information and their complexions became slightly pale.

Keegan smiled as he naturally sent the map that appeared on the hologram to each party member’s cell phone.

“Of course giving you the first opportunity to purchase is the right thing to do.”
