Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 573



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 573

Remnants of Memory (6)

Area 25 has been designated as a closed area and access has been restricted for over several decades.

The city immediately became an uproar with the news that the quarantine measures for District 25 whose existence was unknown because it was hidden by the Kurbas Dam were being lifted.

There are suspicions in the public that the area designated as green belt may be released as a development site in line with the commercialization of anti-gravity technology.

It was natural for all kinds of conspiracy theories and speculation to spread across the press and media.

[Officer 1st Class Keegan Grimes known to be from District 25 has expressed his intention to resign. He was predicted to be the most likely candidate for jurisdiction over the area when the quarantine in the closed area is lifted…]

[Many research institutions are willing to actively participate in the city government’s plan to actively introduce aviation technology in District 25 in line with the commercialization of anti-gravity technology…]

[There are rumors going around that Assistant Professor Evan Bylan may be invited to take charge of this redevelopment project…]

“Evan your name comes up again.”

“….”

“Evan?”

“Ah did you call me?”

At Dean Sciolus’ words Lennok who had been dozing off in the lab raised his head.

A face that is out of focus as if sleepy or tired.

An expression that goes beyond dazed and half-fazed.

The dean looked at Lennoc in silence for a moment then patted him on the shoulder without saying a word.

“It seems like you’ve been through a lot of emotional distress. “I’m sorry for not paying attention to you.”

“…?”

“I will have to work hard to postpone the comprehensive master’s and doctoral thesis review schedule so for now focus on getting as much rest as possible.”

“Oh yeah….”

Was there a paper that had to be submitted as Evan Bylan?

No there was no way he could easily forget such an important schedule that could determine Evan’s position in college.

Submission of the integrated thesis would have been a flexible schedule that could be determined depending on Lennok’s choice. Perhaps the dean was mistaken.

Rather the problem was the fact that Lennok was so tired that he could not make a decision right away even after hearing the fact.

Lennok who was scratching his messy hair with a blank expression looked at the items on the workbench and quenched his appetite.

“In the end there is no significant gain here either….”

An old pocket watch quietly emitting light on a laboratory workbench.

Although it appears to be nothing more than an ordinary belonging it is the last legacy left behind by Kaise Bajur upon his disappearance.

The magical power of reverse heaven that Kaise naturally possessed.

An artifact that can be used to temporarily rewind time for a specific object by combining its power with the concept of time.

Although it has special conditions with the user named Lennok it goes without saying how valuable an item that can temporarily touch time itself is.

When converted to actual goods only the highest-class treasures among the relics of the old world can be compared and it is difficult to even judge their value in money.

‘I never thought I would be able to come out with something like this at the end of the operation in the closed area…’

This was possible because Lennok lent his territory to Kaise and left behind a piece of that possibility.

Because Lennok possesses the power of the [Great Revelation Blade] which was Kaise’s domain within the image of the kaleidoscope he was able to use the power of the clock materialized through his image without any problem.

The problem was less about the watch’s capabilities and more about the poor fuel efficiency of the Artifact itself.

‘After only two uses in a closed area the power was completely exhausted.’

Lennok’s own magic power was not enough to recharge the pocket watch.

Since we are controlling a retrograde technique that directly interferes with time wouldn’t it be necessary to satisfy special conditions?

The only thing that comes to mind right now is how to restore the functionality of the pocket watch by replacing the battery inside the watch.

Thinking so Lennok stopped by the university as Evan and created an alibi and attempted to recharge various batteries by supplying them from the university’s supply room but all failed.

After tearing off the back of the watch and connecting the battery to see if it worked he fell asleep in the lab.

“I think it would be easy to find the problem if we could compare the same product as the pocket watch…”

[Because there are no similar items on the deep web or at auction. It might be better to think about an underground auction.]

It would be easy to find problems if you compare the functions of a good pocket watch next to it but the idea of ​​having another item like this is ridiculous.

I tried to find out the production year or company of the watch but there was nothing written on the back of the watch perhaps because it was an item from a past construction.

Was it greedy to try to find out everything about the power and operation of a pocket watch in one or two attempts?

I rubbed my puffy eyes took my coat and stood up.

By now the work on component analysis is probably in progress in Aris’s lab and the work has been roughly completed.

As it is an item that was used decades ago it is necessary to thoroughly research its origins and store it carefully.

Lennok who manipulated the magician to reassemble Bajur’s clock back to its original state took it with him and immediately left the laboratory.

I’ve only briefly communicated with Jenny about this situation but I haven’t stopped by the bar.

A blueprint for an unknown room written on the last page of the research log.

I was planning to go to Jenny to hear information about the machine city Machina.

* * *

As soon as I entered the bar the news came loudly from the screen above the spacious bar.

[The city government said it would refrain from commenting on the lifting of quarantine measures in District 25…]

[As this is the first opening in decades almost all government agencies are expected to cooperate with environmental surveys and safety inspections.]

[The Kurbas Dam side dismissed the controversy over the radiation exposure phenomenon and waited for the Central Council’s action…]

“half!!”

Jenny who was leaning her chin on the bar table and watching TV waved her hand wildly at Lennok.

Several empty liquor bottles were already neatly placed in front of her.

She pounded the table excitedly as she looked at Lennok who was sitting across from her with a slightly red face.

Lennok looked at Jenny with a curious look then turned his gaze towards Jorden who was sitting next to him.

“This is my first time seeing you drunk.”

“Please understand.”

Jordan said with a smile and the same words he always said.

“After hearing your call and checking some investment information it’s been like that.”

“You mean investment information?”

Lennok thought about that then remembered that he had informed Jenny in advance that the quarantine zone would be lifted and nodded.

“It looks like things turned out better than expected right?”

“It didn’t work out well…!!”

Jenny whispered unable to contain her excitement.

She lowered her head forward so that no one could hear her then quickly looked around and said.

“By a very narrow margin I succeeded in buying the bill hanging on the lot in District 25 at a low price!”

“oh.”

“Immediately after the city government announced the lifting of the quarantine in closed areas my intestines completely paralyzed. “The deep web isn’t just a mess.”

Jenny said that and gulped down the liquor in the glass without hesitation.

It looks like he emptied several bottles of alcohol in an instant at that speed so it’s not impossible to understand why he gets drunk.

“There are a lot of things you can do just by holding the bill here.”

Jordon answered handing Lennok a drink as well.

“IOUs and notes are sometimes stronger certificates than the city government’s official seal. In the past quite a bit of land in this city was disposed of in that way…”

“….”

If you think about it Zordon was also someone who was with Kaise.

It seems that he was well aware of the importance of these bills even at the time when he and Kaise took over the hegemony of the shadowy region and took control of the city.

Nowadays he just sits at the bar makes drinks and occasionally looks after injured people but at one time he must have been responsible for much more than he does now.

However instead of joining Deadrise after Kaise’s death he chose to start working as a broker with Jenny.

What are Jordon’s thoughts about staying by her side and still helping her with her work?

Although we had been working together face-to-face for quite some time it was still the case that he was someone whose true feelings were unknown.

“These are items that have not been effective for decades so they are being sold in various funds. “I even swept up bonds in the area around District 25 by purchasing various products to raise as few suspicions as possible.”

Jenny said taking a sip of her drink.

“If we’re lucky we might be able to eat the central area of ​​District 25.”

“I see.”

“I will raise your share of the class at a rate twice that of the company. Even if there is no money coming in right away once District 25 is opened hehehe…!!”

I wonder how much money was going back and forth in my head that made me so excited.

Lennok and Jordon look at each other and laugh as they see Jenny pounding the table and laughing evilly.

“I’m going to take a moment to pack up my belongings in the garage. “The work isn’t finished yet…”

After emptying his drink like that for a while Jordan leaves the table leaving only Lennok and Jenny between the tables in the wide hall.

In a quiet atmosphere they drink together without saying a word.

Jenny too must have calmed down by now and was looking at Lennok rather calmly.

“half.”

Jenny called out to Lennok with a slightly flushed face.

Her face had suddenly returned to a serious expression.

“From now on… let’s refrain from directly receiving work from Balkan city governments.”

“….”

“I don’t know what happened in the closed area but it must have been dangerous to bring this much information. no….”

Jenny’s eyes shone sharply as she shook her head.

“The fact that the quarantine has been lifted means that you have finally solved the problem in that area.”

“You’re not wrong.”

“To be honest… I don’t know how you can do that. “I wonder if it is possible to solve problems that we thought were impossible on our own…”

Jenny continued speaking with difficulty while fiddling with her glass.

“But if you insist on such a risky approach the risks will eventually outweigh the benefits.”

“….”

“Do you think I’m being unlucky?”

“no.”

Lennok smiled and shook his head.

“A person like that wouldn’t even say something like this in the first place. “I know.”

“….”

Jenny who was silent for a moment as if speechless opened her mouth again.

“You were hurt a lot. yes?”

“okay.”

“You didn’t rest properly. But still I keep working…”

Jenny frowned and shook her head.

“That’s strange. I’m a broker who benefits from working with freelancers but now I’m your business partner. “There is reason to care about your health and future.”

There was silence.

Jenny quietly grabbed the glass with both hands and glared at the alcohol inside.

“What on earth happened in the closed area?”

“that….”

Lennok was about to come up with an appropriate excuse for what he said but then stopped.

About Kaise Bajur whom we met in the closed area.

This is because I thought Jenny deserved to know the full story of what happened there.

Jenny who has lived with the name of Kaise Bajur’s granddaughter deserves to know how Kaise lived.

Because he thought so Lennok gave Jenny information about Area 25 in advance and encouraged her to benefit.

And now the two of us were sitting alone and drinking like this.

“….”

But what does it really mean if I tell her now about Kaise?

Jenny herself was not obsessed with the fact that she was Kaise’s granddaughter and although she was aware of the evil relationship with Deadrise she did not care.

Nevertheless isn’t it necessary to remind her of Kaise’s existence and memories at this point not for Jenny’s sake but for Lennok to obtain more information?

In the end there is no right answer. Lennok actually already knew that.

You only have your own judgment and responsibility for it.

Lennok’s mouth opened naturally as he put down his drink.

“There was a message left by Kaise Bajur inside the closed area.”

Jenny’s breathing seemed to stop for a moment.

“We confirmed this while investigating the inside of the area and finding and eliminating the cause of the abnormal phenomenon.”

“…okay?”

“During the process I learned that he had conducted various research independent of the project.”

Lennok answered slowly.

“He guessed his own death and was thinking of various possibilities. “Kaise already knew from that moment that the project would fail.”

“….”

Is this enough?

However Lennok believed that this was best as long as he could not specifically talk about research logs and space-time fixed research.

The story about Alkaid is written in full in the research log and there is a possibility that Jenny could be in danger just by knowing its name.

Why does Lennoc come back from the closed area to talk to Jenny?

Also why did you try to convey that fact by doing that? Just mentioning Kaise’s name would be enough of a reason.

Jenny was silent for a long time then brought another bottle of liquor and poured it into a glass.

She said quietly as she was drinking a glass of liquor.

“I started a brokerage business under that name but I don’t have many memories of my grandfather.”

“….”

“I was raised by my mother and that time wasn’t really that long… I didn’t even see my father’s face.”

It was said that Kaise’s son did not live long and died due to a peculiar punishment.

Considering that fact it is not incomprehensible that Jenny does not know her father’s face.

“But I met my grandfather once when he was alive.”

“You came to see me?”

Apparently Kaise who was with Lennok in the past did not know that she had a granddaughter until then.

So did Kaise who realized the existence of his granddaughter some time later come to visit her?

“You said you wondered if your son’s face remained. He asked me to go out with him. “After meeting Yakseon and returning…”

Jenny said that and took out an old box from under the bar table.

Faded notebooks writing instruments old hairpins gloves… various items that seem to have been around for quite some time.

Jenny said taking out a small dusty object from the bottom of the floor.

“I left this behind and left.”

“….”

Lennok looked at the item Jenny had put down and couldn’t reply.

A worn-out pocket watch covered in dust.

This was because its appearance was almost completely identical to the artifact that Kaise left behind for Lennok in the past.
