Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 623



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 623

Mysterious Consultant (1)

“Shim Seong-gwan…?”

Mouser asked in disbelief.

“Are you saying that you are calling in a call to arms to that Beecher who has not allowed in any craftsman other than a meister for the past several decades?”

“I can’t give you a definite answer because I’m only telling you what I’ve heard…”

Ebert spoke as if he was troubled but Lennok could guess how things were going the moment he heard those words.

After Lennok succeeded in reorganizing the old world’s Demon Gun Teremer at the Meister Selection Ceremony other Meisters must have also attempted to repair the Demon Gun.

However unlike Lennok after failing he realizes that there are facts he has not yet revealed and tries to hear the rest.

Does Lennoc really have the knowledge and skills to repair the relics of the old world?

They will want to make sure that what they showed at the selection ceremony was not just a coincidence.

Wouldn’t being summoned to a hidden secret place like Sim Seong-gwan mean that you don’t want to show that fact to other craftsmen or the outside world?

However Lennok was not very happy when he heard about the summons of Ex Machina.

‘Even if you go down to Simseong-gwan through a summons you can’t steal the Demon Gun on the spot.’

If Ma Chong disappeared when Lennok visited the Mind Hall where only Meisters were allowed to enter it was as clear as day who the culprit would be.

‘In the end it means that you have to set a suitable date before or after the convocation and enter the undersea wall on your own…’

Fortunately I have obtained the recipe for Arma Delta alloy so there should be no problem manufacturing the alloy in the workshop with Mouser’s help.

All that remains is to accurately figure out the convocation date which even Ebert doesn’t seem to know yet and come up with a plan.

“Master Lyman. “The introduction is late.”

While Lennok was lost in thought Ebert shook Lennok’s hand in a very polite manner.

“I heard that you used your own hands to subdue the assassin. Thank you very much for stepping up for your sister. “Thanks to you my sister was able to save her life.”

“It wasn’t me but the bodyguard who did the big job.”

“After he regains consciousness we plan to compensate him accordingly.”

After saying that Ebert blew away the rising cigarette smoke with his hand and sighed.

“More than that I am worried that this incident will grow out of control…”

“Narcissa was the manager of the upper-level workshop district and an elite meister who inherited the workshop of the Hwadeokjin Army.”

Mouser said in a stern voice.

“If the Side Squad had really moved the culprits would have been members of Ex Machina.”

“That’s true but… the problem is that the relationship between meisters within the same Warhammer faction is not that good.”

Ebert sighed softly.

“There are quite a few meisters who are closer to entrepreneurs rather than artisans who keep each other in check and undermine each other in order to win large-scale production jobs or businesses.”

“….”

Are you saying that even within the same faction there are Meisters with whom the relationship is so bad that they committed an assassination attempt to keep Narcissa in check?

Lennok knew that the division and conflict within the Machine City was at a serious level but he had no idea that the conflict would be so intense that it would be difficult to pinpoint the target.

“Especially Lyman. “You better be careful.”

Ebert said with a serious expression.

“I understand that your identity itself is ambiguous is that correct? “As long as a craftsman of unknown origin receives attention at the selection ceremony the number of craftsmen who are jealous of you will increase.”

“….”

“You will consider it a privilege to have your workshop relocated to a higher-level workshop district. “There are many apprentices in other workshops who value you.”

This is to keep a craftsman of unknown origin in check from receiving attention and growing in such a short period of time.

Lennok was not unable to understand the fact itself.

The last moment of the selection ceremony. I remember the expressions the Meisters showed at the moment Lennok announced that he would repair the relics of the old world.

A face that looks like a competitor who needs to be kept in check and guarded not a brilliant junior.

This is because I caught a glimpse of their nature which would mercilessly trample them if they became equals instead of being teacher and disciple.

Is this because unlike in megacities where all kinds of people gather almost all craftsmen are tested for the same abilities in the same market?

This kind of check and vigilance was something Lennok had not felt in quite some time.

“I am delegating you as the manager of the Senior Workshop District on behalf of Narcissa but I will not be able to give you any consideration other than acting on behalf of my sister’s decisions.”

Ebert also wants to be considerate of Lennok who saved Narcissa but it would be difficult for him to even act as an administrator.

Lennok nodded obediently.

“I understand. “I will take care of the rest.”

At that moment a young man quietly came up behind Ebert and whispered something into his ear.

Ebert who was listening with a serious expression quickly turned his head and nodded towards the two people.

“I guess I should just go. Please excuse me first. “Our workshop will take responsibility for Narcissa’s care so you two don’t have to worry.”

“Yes it will be busy so be careful going in.”

Mouser waved his hand and Lennok was about to bow briefly but inadvertently stopped moving.

This is because I realized that the young man who delivered the message to Ebert was giving Lennoc an unfavorable look.

“….”

He appears to be an apprentice at Narcissa’s workshop. Was it true that Lennok’s reputation was not that good?

“Looking at the father-in-law there it seems that what Master Ebert said was not wrong at all.”

“yes?”

Seeing Ebert looking back at the young man in shock Lennok first lifted himself off the rooftop railing and nodded to Mouser.

“It would be best for us to leave now.”

“….”

With Mouser standing up with a bitter smile Lennok stood up first leaving Ebert behind.

There are many things to prepare in advance for the workshop relocation.

There was a lot of delay due to the assassination attempt against Narcissa but since the relocation had been decided it could not be postponed.

* * *

Immediately after the Meister selection ceremony.

In the wealthy villages of the central district of Machina an unknown ghost story was spreading so secretly that no one knew about it.

A ghost story about a night crow that appears at night when there is no moonlight and glides across the sky surrounded by mechanical barriers.

What is surprising is that there are people who take the strange rumor surprisingly seriously.

“I actually saw it. “I saw that monster tearing off the exterior wall of the mansion like it was a piece of paper.”

“It bent its entire body in an incredibly strange way and flew over corridors that people would normally walk through.”

“I don’t know what crazy craftsman created that but be careful. “It’s a monster that can tear human flesh apart with its claws.”

Passers-by disappearing into the night streets talking loudly with fear in their voices.

Those who believe that there are no unreasonable ghost stories in this city rush home and a chilly wind blows through the deserted park.

There is an old man shivering in his coat under an old bench surrounded by tall dry trees.

The sight of the man who was waiting for someone without even being able to straighten his pure white hair turned completely black in an instant.

Woe!!

“Ugh…!!”

The moment when the old man jumped up from his seat and screamed.

A huge raven that had landed between the trees in the park was looking at him without saying a word.

A voice was heard right next to the old man who was sitting down with a breathless expression.

“What information did you promise?”

“omg!!”

Lennok who was sitting on the bench right next to the old man who stood up again held out his hand.

“Have you prepared it in writing? “It doesn’t matter so please give it to me.”

“…This is circumstantial evidence of this assassination attempt that was secretly stolen from the Metropolitan Police Department.”

Old Langmuir then held out a thin file iron to Lennok with trembling hands.

Without saying anything Lennok opened the file and began to look through it.

Langmuir looked at the raven’s gaze and slowly put his hips back together and opened his mouth.

“The attempted assassination of Narcissa Solmer is such a sensitive issue that there are more than one person trying to get involved in this case. “I was barely able to get hold of the rope.”

“There’s not much meaningful content like that.”

“….”

In front of Langmuir who was at a loss for words Lennok quickly read the file and nodded.

“Circumstances of infiltrating the security department for a long period of time. The original military enemy was the Special Tactics Battalion Side Squad. “The only thing that was discovered through the background investigation was that a huge amount of money was deposited into a cannon account under the family name… This doesn’t actually even begin the investigation does it?”

“It was decades ago that he attempted to assassinate a member of Ex Machina and almost succeeded.”

Langmuir answered.

“Although the situation in Machina has been chaotic recently it is also true that no one expected to take such measures. “The Metropolitan Police Department said there would be an official announcement soon.”

“….”

As Lennok closes his mouth the committee member begins to look even more nervous.

Lennok was lost in thought on the spot not caring about Langmuir’s reaction.

‘I don’t know how far I should go with Narcissa Solmer’s assassination…’

The reason I requested information about the assassination from Langmuir was not to seek revenge on Narcissa’s behalf.

However if Narcissa Solmer is running a workshop as a disciple of Hwadeokjingun who was called the best craftsman in the Machine City.

This is because I thought that the fact that she was caught up in the assassination attempt itself might be related to the existence of Hwadeokjingun.

And Hwadeokjingun who was called the best craftsman in the Machine City was definitely related to the Ascension Gate Project.

Aside from tracking down Kaise’s secret Lennok was thinking that this incident might be related to the Ascension Gate.

The problem is that Lennok is not the only one who thinks this way.

Lennok who had made his decision handed back the file and said.

“You don’t have to bring any information about Narcissa Solmer’s assassination for the time being.”

“Hoo hoo….”

Lennok asked looking at Langmuir heaving a sigh of relief.

“What’s going on with the blueprints?”

“…First of all I shared the blueprint file you gave me with other members of the Machine Head faction. “By my standards they are all trustworthy people.”

Langmuir answered.

“Internal structures of the central district. There is no disagreement that it is a secret space that is secretly hidden. However we have not yet been able to find anyone who has seen or knows the blueprint in person.”

“….”

The Machine Head faction is a group of intellectuals who mostly started out as academics and became members of Ex Machina.

I thought that this would lead to a relatively wide research field compared to other factions but it seems that was not the case.

“I guess I should also ask for advice from members of other factions.”

“All different factions…?”

Langmuir asked looking slightly surprised.

“The members of the Ironheart and the Warhammer do not reside on this Earth. To get to the area where they live you must pass through the upper-level workshop district.”

“…Is that so?”

“okay. In fact the upper workshop district is responsible for passing through the residences of the Ex Machina members.”

“It’s a high-end workshop district….”

Now that things have turned out this way should we say that things are going well for Lennok?

Langmuir could not read Lennok’s reaction and continued speaking.

“They say I am responsible for the mistake in the selection ceremony but the other committee members say otherwise. “There is no reason for them to feel sorry for you-”

Whoop!!

A strong wind blew and before I knew it the images of Lennok and the raven had disappeared.

Instead right next to the bench where Lennok was sitting there was only an eerie scar that looked as if it had been crushed by a huge claw.

Langmuir who was looking at this in silence with a pale complexion sighed and took out his cell phone.

I had to endure alone in this cold park until the attendant who was waiting outside the park arrived.

* * *

The relocation of the workshop to the upper district went fairly smoothly.

This is because not only the location for Lennok’s workshop but also the labor costs of the moving company and hired employees were all prepared.

This was possible because Narcissa had completed all related work before visiting Lennok’s workshop in the first place.

“He was a very meticulous person.”

“He was talented enough to stand out even when he was working as a craftsman so my teacher was quite impressed by him.”

Mouser who was carrying a large refrigerator on one shoulder answered casually.

Although some time had passed since he retired from the field his strength was still there and he was able to handle a workload several times that of most workers.

“I understand that in addition to the workshop Ex Machina also handles various tasks.”

“Then doesn’t this mean that there is a high possibility that various tasks will be paralyzed now that Narcissa is in a coma?”

“…Even if Ebert takes over as acting manager there is a high possibility that will happen.”

As it was not positive news Lennok kept his mouth shut and helped the workers locate the workbench and equipment stand inside the workshop and helped move the warehouse and internal facilities.

A huge cavity that is three times wider than the workshop previously used under Mouser’s name and the size of the furnace is four times larger.

The sight of the workshop with smooth paint and neat pipes arranged neatly calmed the mind of Lennok who was not a craftsman.

“Hehe but I still feel strange after moving here…”

Mouser also smiled faintly perhaps feeling proud just by seeing such a spacious workshop but then shook his head.

Was he thinking of Narcissa who had moved him to this neat workshop?

“First we announced the relocation through the management menu of the workshop reservation app. “There are customers who made reservations last time but couldn’t handle them so let’s deal with them first and open workshops one by one…”

The moment Lennok said that and lifted his cell phone to reconnect it with Dabi’s magic power.

bang!!

The door to the workshop which had not a single speck of dust on it burst open blowing out a ton of dust outside.

The one who walked in with strides ignoring the frowning Mouser was a middle-aged man with a stubborn look.

The light outfit with nothing in both hands let alone any equipment or luggage is noticeable.

He completely ignored Mouser and walked up to Lennok and immediately opened his mouth.

“Are you this guy named Lyman?”

“….”

When Lennok looked at the gray man without answering Mouser stepped forward with his face scrunched up.

“hey. “Who knocked on the door like that and told you to come in without knocking?”

thud!!

He grabbed a hammer near the workbench and struck it hard and only then did the middle-aged man look back at Mouser with a slight surprised expression.

The middle-aged man who belatedly checked the hard hammer in his hand then took a step back and spoke in a puzzled voice.

“Oh no… I heard that this workshop started a unique business today so I came with the idea of ​​giving it a go.”

“…Unique business?”

Mouser looked back at Lennok with an expression of confusion.

Lennok looked the man up and down in silence and then opened his mouth.

“You seem to be a craftsman doing business in the upper-class workshop district. What kind of work are you entrusting me with?”

“Huh? “This guy is a craftsman working in the upper-class workshop district?”

Rather Mouser twitched his eyebrows widely as if surprised by Lennok’s words.

The man also looked back at Lennok with a slightly surprised expression probably not expecting to hear such an answer.

“I don’t think I said anything yet….”

“I was sweating just a moment ago and then I was exposed to cold air so my pores are tightly closed and the color of my skin above my neck is very different. “This is evidence of standing in front of a heat source such as a furnace for a long time.”

“Hmm….”

thud!!

Lennok who put the small box he was holding down on the workbench and wiped off his sweat turned around and said.

“Wouldn’t it be strange not to think of us as business partners if your ears were bright enough to hear about our workshop in just one day?”

“….”

“Oh that’s right. “After listening to it it all fits together.”

Mouser stroked his beard as if he was interested as his father-in-law opened his mouth with a strange expression.

Mouser ignored the man and asked Lennok what he was curious about.

“Then why did a craftsman from a high-level workshop come to entrust you with work?”

“He said he came with the intention of handing over the work but he didn’t actually bring any equipment or items with him.”

Lennok answered while sitting on the workbench.

Mouser asked with a frown as if he was thinking in his own way.

“Is it because the items to be entrusted are too large to be transported?”

“no.”

When Lennok denied it Mouser scratched his cheek shyly.

“If it is an item that is important and large enough to be handled in a high-level workshop it is likely to be an item from an important business such as the core equipment of a large factory. There would be no way to entrust such an important trade item to artisans who have just come up like us.”

“then?”

“Didn’t I mention it was a unique business?”

Lennok who was rubbing his chin with a thoughtful expression muttered.

“We never mentioned it at all so this must have been the result of Master Narcissa’s actions taken in advance and if you think about the results I showed him back then…”

Narcissa found out how Lennok worked in the workshop and performed well at the selection ceremony and came to him to test him.

In the process if you had tried to notify Lennok of the relocation of the upper-level workshop district and entrusted him with some work you would definitely have…

Lennok who quickly put the puzzle together in his head smiled and nodded.

“Consulting targeting artisans. If we had to be specific it would most likely be about consultation on the overall business including workshop operation. Is that correct?”
