Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 600



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 600

Pieces and Parts (2)

[Honestly I was a bit surprised.]

Click!!

Madame put down a small teacup in front of Lennok and said leaning back leisurely in her chair.

A dark red liquid sloshing in a teacup.

Lennok thought for a moment about what the red liquid the vampire had released was then carefully put it to his mouth.

Lennok asked after taking a few more sips realizing that it tasted similar to black tea.

“Why?”

[Because I never thought that you not anyone else would bring that story.]

Madame smiled as if covering her mouth with a veil and answered.

[Even among vampires not many people know. This city was too rough to trust and rely on people just because they were of the same race.]

“You’re not wrong.”

Lennok already knew that the bond between sub-races was not that great in this world.

In a world where people are busy backstabbing each other it is difficult to trust people just because they are of the same species.

In the process it would not be strange for Madame to filter out vampires who are aware of this fact.

[Virgil right?]

Madame asked without waiting for Lennok’s answer.

[Because he is the only vampire who has a connection with you and knows about it.]

“….”

[It looks like he owed a very large debt. Since this is deeply related to my master he will probably never open his mouth…]

Madame laughed.

[That’s why I didn’t even think that the secret would be leaked.]

“You mean the fact that Oliveira and Caise Bajour were working on the same project?”

Madame fell silent in response to Lennok’s direct question.

The sight of him gulping down the liquid remaining in the teacup without hesitation.

I don’t think it’s mixed with anything poisonous or harmful. Because such trivial tricks won’t be able to harm Lennok.

On the contrary if Madame had tricked the teacup she could use that as an excuse to gain an advantage in this transaction.

“Told you he was one of the oldest brokers on the block.”

Lennok put down his empty glass and looked at Madame Mulkrimi.

“Kaise’s corpse. “I respect the fact that his death was kept secret for decades.”

[….]

“I want to end it with a clean transaction. “If there is any price you want please tell me now.”

Lennok lowered his head slightly and his eyes shone coldly.

“I won’t take no for an answer.”

From the beginning I had no intention of proposing a fair deal or anything like that to Madam.

A broker who has been hiding a lot of secrets for a long time.

It would be foolish not to use the status and reputation that Lennok has built up against such a being.

It doesn’t matter what is offered in return during the transaction but Madame cannot be allowed to refuse the transaction itself.

She must have been aware of this as well so she obediently summoned Lennok to her residence.

[Whoa….]

Lennok does not know how much pressure the wizard who transcends hierarchy puts on him from the front.

Or to be more precise should I say that I don’t know how much pressure other people feel?

How much weight does the will expressed by Lennok have and to what level does it reach?

And Madame seemed to know to some extent that Lennoch had already surpassed the hierarchy once.

Madame lifted the teacup with her slightly thin fingertips and said with a small sigh.

[Do you know why I haven’t heard from you in the past few days?]

“….”

[With the lifting of the quarantine in Area 25 civil engineering and construction projects which had been dying in the shade became active. Among them there are quite a few companies in which I have a stake.]

“so?”

[I don’t expect much.]

Madame looked through the veil and made eye contact with Lennok with her red eyes.

[Right to participate in development projects in District 25. If you give us official permission I will give you information about Kaise.]

“….”

Lennok was also slightly surprised by Madame’s calm answer.

There may not have been any official information released yet that Lightning participated in operations related to closed areas.

Nevertheless did Madame know that Lennok not only participated in the operation in the closed area but also acquired the land and business rights in Area 25?

It didn’t take long to worry.

Lennok took out a business card from his pocket and placed it on the table.

“This is the contact information for Superintendent Level 1 Keegan Grimes who controlled the Kurbas Dam.”

Lennok said as he looked at Madame who silently took the business card and read it carefully.

“He is officially planning to step down from his position as manager but he still holds most of the administrative authority around District 25 including Kurbas Dam.”

[Hmm a level 1 administrator…]

“Give my name and tell me the business area you need. “They will tell you which area development project permits will be granted.”

If you were looking for a bill or land it would be enough to just call Jenny and talk to the brokers.

What Madame wants is for the companies she owns shares to be able to take a share in the business within District 25.

Perhaps rather than wanting the land in District 25 itself they are probably aiming to make arrangements to spread their influence as a broker.

If the lifting of quarantine measures in closed areas does not end this one time there is a high possibility that opportunities will continue to return to business owners who received orders for the first time.

Madame was looking ahead to the point where District 25’s quarantine was lifted and was looking for a way to expand the influence of the metropolis in the long term.

[…great. I think this is enough. I never thought you would introduce me to a level 1 administrator.]

Madame smiled with satisfaction and spoke slyly.

[It’s not easy to say that you can just use your name but have you gotten used to using your status in the meantime?]

“Now that I have enough nonsense let’s move on to the story about Kaise.”

Lennok answered interrupting Madame.

“I know they are not currently taking care of Kaise’s body. If that were the case there would be no way I would have continued working as a broker.”

[hmm.]

“What I want to know is where Kaise’s body is currently stored and who is managing the body.”

A blue glow flowed through Lennok’s eyes as he looked at Madame.

“Even if you step down from the job right now you know who your successor would be right?”

[….]

Madame was not embarrassed by Lennok’s magic power that was quietly pressuring her.

Instead he simply gestured outside to bring in a new teacup and placed it between the two.

She gently stirred the teacup with a small spoon and slowly opened her mouth.

[There was no other reason why the vampires kept Kaise Bajur’s body after he died with the failure of the project.]

“…”

[Because only those who knew the most about the hardening of human skin were able to keep the body intact. That’s why I was there too but now I’ve given up all my authority a long time ago.]

When Kaise had just died vampires were needed to keep his body as intact as possible.

As time passed did the project officials who found a way to store Kaise’s body take it away again?

Before Lennok could think about it Madame spoke.

[Kaise Bajur’s grave is in District 19.]

“District 19….”

Along with Area 25 the rough terrain was the first to be designated as a closed area in the Balkans.

And unlike Area 25 it was also a secret land where none of the information and environment within it was leaked to the outside world.

To the extent that none of the people in the big city that Lennok knows have ever been there.

[But as far as I know Kaise’s body is not stored in that area.]

Madame shook her head.

[Last I heard there are two candidate locations. Kundara a remote city where long-lived species born with true blood live and Yorta a military city that observes and curses the flow of all spirits in the world.]

She took out an old notebook and lightly pushed it in front of Lennok.

[This is the only item left behind by the person involved at the time. I said I would leave a means of contacting you in case the worst happens.]

Seeing Lennoch picking up his notebook Madame stood up without delay as if she had nothing more to say.

[This is all I know about the story. Oh and one last thing.]

There was a faint smile in Madame’s voice as she put back the veil that had been pulled back.

[If you ever get in touch with them could you tell them that it’s not my fault that things happened like this?]

* * *

An old downtown street where not a single person passes by.

Lennok sitting at a shabby bus stop with dusty exhaust and wind constantly blowing around looked at his cell phone and was lost in thought.

“It is a small to medium-sized city that has been around for hundreds of years with the Jangsaeng species living there….”

The two cities where Kaise’s body is believed to be stored are the remote city of Kundara and the military city of Yorta.

Unlike the military city of Yorta Lennok did not know much information about the Abyssal City.

[It is said that although it is located on the eastern continent it is surrounded by unimaginably rough terrain and is not easy to access.]

Dabi explained to Lennok the information he had discovered by visiting the city government’s central network and the deep web as if he were at home.

[Most of the known information remains at the level that was disclosed decades ago. Official activities ceased 20 years ago and even before that there was virtually no external activity.]

Dabi who was curled up on Lennok’s lap and wagging his tongue lifted his head slightly as if he had found something.

[Ah after looking through some data I found the only message from the past few years.]

“what?”

[A message was sent to the Philenom Dominion on the day that Madrea Palseer died.]

“….”

Dabi sent a message from Ogeredoshi to Lennok’s cell phone and showed it to him.

The topic of the message was scribbled in an old-fashioned cursive that took my breath away.

=To the pioneer who has wandered and looked further than what was visible.

=It is the responsibility of those left behind to give meaning to the life that has longed for more value than the time spent living.

“…is this the end?”

[yes.]

“….”

Lennok who was contemplating while stroking Dabi whose ears were prickling did not take long to come to a conclusion.

“It seems that the Outer Cities have found their own way to avoid the coming destruction.”

[yes?]

“Otherwise there would be no way I would have sent this message as a sign of condolence. Those left behind who remain until the end and give meaning. “This is literally how I refer to myself.”

A letter of condolence with minimal formality that reveals at the end who the senders of the message were in mourning for Madrea Palsier.

Therefore Lennok could easily guess that the Abyssal City was originally created to avoid destruction.

A name that is extremely intuitive meaning that even the meaning of the city of loneliness is outside the confines.

Did the long-lived species come together to find a way to avoid the coming destruction?

If so the method is probably related to their vast lifespan.

It was clearly a topic that Lennok could never ignore.

“I think I need to visit Kundara someday…”

The problem lies in the fact that unless we know where Kaise’s body is located in the Military Command City and the Outlying City there is no time to visit both cities.

Even at this very moment the fortunes of the Central Front the Blue Eye Pandemonium and the Guido Church are changing rapidly.

Unless there is a very clear purpose or reason it is difficult for Lennok to leave the position hastily.

‘Considering the issues related to Hwashin it might be better to visit the Military City first.’

While working with the Blue Eye Watchers Lennok gained some insight into how to deal with his own incarnations.

In the end in order to properly use that power it was necessary to visit the military command city that observed all the spirits in this world at least once.

As you learned the basics of super fusion techniques from the twin watchers Geo and Pio didn’t you wonder what would happen if you fused with Lenno’s own incarnation?

Lennok looked thoughtful and thought for a while then looked at Dabi and asked.

“How much time is left for the transit to Dabi Machina?”

[About 15 minutes until arrival time. The master came out too quickly.]

The reason why I sat in a shabby deserted bus stop and was lost in thought.

At this point when the promise with Madame was completed Lennok also decided that there was no reason to delay his steps toward the Machine City.

After making an excuse to Jenny that he would rest for a few weeks he obtained unauthorized cross-city transportation to Machina with Dabi’s help.

Lennok was waiting for the route to Machina while looking through information about the outer city.

“I see. “Then it would be better to give it a try here.”

[What?]

“The notebook that Madame gave me. “I think I know roughly how to use it.”

As Lennok said that he took out the notebook he had obtained through the deal with Madame and opened it wide.

There was no writing or drawing on the inside of the pale yellow paper but Lennok did not hesitate and took out a pen from his pocket.

“You said it was a means of contact so maybe it’s something like this?”

Pick up a pen and roughly scribble on the first page of your notebook.

[There is something to be said about the transfer of Kaise’s body.]

As soon as you write a sentence in your notebook the ink disappears as if seeping into the inside of the paper.

Lennok waited patiently but no answer came.

Dabi looked at his notebook blankly and slowly increased his magic power.

[First as a demonstration shall we apply some electricity?]

“Are you going to keep saying stupid things?”

Lennok said as he stretched out Dabi’s cheekbones.

“It’s just a simple means of communication so interrogating it will only end up looking ridiculous.”

[It is said on the deep web that if you read something and are ignored you should get an electric compress!]

“If you learn something strange there one more time they will install an app that limits your internet usage time.”

[Hmph….]

Lennok pondered over Dabi who was hanging limply with his five-pronged tail in his mouth and then lifted the pen again.

But this time the place where the pen tip touched was not the old paper of the notebook.

Deep!!

Lennok dabbed the back of his hand with the tip of his pen bleeding lightly and then placed it on the notebook paper.

The blood-stained handwriting wrote the same sentence as before in the notebook.

[There is something to be said about the transfer of Kaise’s body.]

But this time the writing did not immediately disappear into the notebook.

The words slowly disappear beyond the pages of the notebook as if savoring the blood that Lennok himself had written.

Immediately after that completely different letters began to appear in the place where Lennok had written the sentence.

[It smells of a very old time and spirit.]

The moment when Lennok was about to say something in response to an answer that suddenly started out as nonsense.

Lennok stopped his hand at another sentence just below the notebook.

[We meet a transcendent person who is qualified to take on the great mission.]

“….”

Lennok paused his pen with an absurd expression in response to the notebook’s polite response.

Dabi tilted his head in confusion.

[What is this stack of paper saying now?]

“well. “If you look at what I’m saying now I’m probably…”

[Ascended. What are you curious about?]

“…You seem to be mistaken for an ascendant.”
