The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 627
Discipline of Steel (2)
At the same time as the man’s calm voice resonates a huge amount of information floods in beyond Boyan’s memories.
It is an overwhelming amount of information that Boyan’s own head and heart cannot properly accept and understand.
Click rattle!!
Ujijijikagagak!!
Forgotten sounds from beyond the world incomprehensible to human senses and intellect penetrated my hearing and filled my mind.
Although he couldn’t see or touch it it was undoubtedly slowly opening before Boyan’s eyes.
Squeak…!!
[Ah ah…!!]
Even though both eyes were covered Boyan’s eyes were spinning as if they were going blind and tears were pouring out.
Even though he forcibly limits visual information and accepts the aftermath of the door only by hearing Boyan’s consciousness is already being worn down to the point of being swept away and disappearing.
The man grabbed Boyan’s wrists and pulled them lightly pushing both of his tied hands forward.
The moment I felt that I had put my hand inside the door the feeling in both hands completely disappeared.
An empty feeling of loss as if all the bones and muscles below the forearm had been left behind in a place other than this world.
Saaaaa…
It feels like the wind is flowing through a cold abyss.
A remnant of oblivion that seems to be wandering here and there looking for direction as if something is crawling on the fingertips.
[Wrong.]
Boyan who had already completely lost consciousness was shaking with tears and drool streaming down his face but the man did not seem satisfied with that fact.
[Huh?]
[I held something but I didn’t have the rationality to take it out.]
[Hahahaha!!]
The man muttered paying no heed to Boyan who went from crying to screaming to laughing loudly.
[Discipline of Steel. Decades have passed since the oath of silence faded but its legacy still remains here.]
[…ah?]

[This is the only consideration I can give you now that Atermire the designer of the Ascension Gate is gone.]
There was no further answer from Boyan.
Instead with a hand gently pushing him from behind. Boyan’s body just jumped over the door.
[Go. If you’re lucky you might come across something that can save your soul.]
Simultaneously with an eerie memory my entire body’s senses were covered in a strange unknown fog.
Lennok regained consciousness beyond Bojan’s memories.
Faaah!!
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!!
Was it because he had to force himself to search through Boyan’s memories to confirm the truth?
Boyan who had fallen to the ground was convulsing with his eyes closed and foam at the mouth.
However Lennok was so focused on recalling the memory he had just glimpsed that he could not pay attention to Boyan’s reaction.
“….”
The ‘door’ mentioned in Machine City Machina.
There is no doubt that it refers to the Ascension Gate project which was treated as a supreme project in this city.
But what is even more surprising is that the Ascension Gate’s remains are still in this city and they are still testing its failure.
From the memory he had just glimpsed Lennok was able to get some sense of what the Ascension Gate was.
And why is the knowledge and heritage of the Old World so often visible in this mechanical city?
‘It’s the door to the next world… I think I know why the Ascension Gate failed.’
The Machine City opened the Gate of Ascension dreaming of the next path but what existed beyond the gate was not the fourth world.
Rather what existed within them was closer to the traces of failure and destruction that they had never hoped for.
‘In return for opening the door have we become burdened with certain penalties and conditions? In that case it is understandable to conduct this type of experiment in parallel but…’
So why did Boyan’s memory not disappear and still remain in his mind?
Considering the power and status of the Ascension Gate it is unrealistic to think that it could not take the memories of a single ordinary craftsman.
If I had to choose the cause it would be more correct to think that it was because of the achievements Boyan achieved beyond the Ascension Gate.
“Was it because it was a spirit…?”
A spirit is a being that is life but is not life. They are made to stay in a space called the spiritual world before appearing in the material world.
The moment Boyan took out the Salamander from inside the Ascension Gate the amount of information in the Ascension Gate was connected to the spirit world causing confusion.
It is not difficult to understand if some of Boyan’s memories which should have been lost in the process remained.
‘The memories before entering the door remained but the memories after entering disappeared. In fact it means that nearly half of the memories were not lost and remained intact…’
The fact that amnesia did not work properly after removing the spirits of the old world would be proof that the legacy of the Gate of Ascension remains in an unstable form.
In other words it was proof that intervention was definitely possible if Lennok could find the location of the Ascension Gate.
‘Designer Atermeyr. From the Ascension Gate which discovers the legacy of the old world to the God Statue which uses knowledge as a database for trading….’
Perhaps the abilities of the new statue created by the doctor were created by borrowing some of the abilities of Ascension Moon.
Lennok thought about that and slowly regained his magical power and stood up.
“….”
Boyan who had fallen unconscious was lifted up with a magician and carried on his back then he staggered and turned around.
I was confident that if I checked Boyan’s memories I would be able to obtain the clues Lennok wanted so I tried my hand at it.

There are more possibilities and information than you might think within a series of images.
Rather than sorting things out right here I have no choice but to settle this matter first and think about it.
* * *
The fire that swept through the Cyberwood workshop was extinguished and Boyan a disciple of the workshop was pointed out as the culprit of what had happened.
Cyberd watched Boyan in silence for a long time as he was taken away by the police and disappeared.
Boyan is seen walking away without even looking towards the workshop with his head down helplessly.
Cyberd sighed as if the ground was falling slowly turned his head and made eye contact with Lennok.
“I don’t know how to express my gratitude for what happened today.”
Cyberd muttered unable to look at Lennok properly avoiding his gaze.
“I’m sorry for doubting you and telling you all these lies. “I never thought one of my disciples would be the culprit…”
“It would have been difficult for me to think about it if I hadn’t learned about spirits over my shoulder.”
Lennok answered without blinking.
“I was lucky.”
“What is that powder you threw into the furnace earlier?”
The older disciple standing next to Cyved asked.
“As a result if it weren’t for that Boyan wouldn’t have come forward. “I don’t know what kind of powder it was that caused me to overreact so much.”
“Ah this is a set of snacks that spirits like.”
“…Snack set?”
The craftsmen’s expressions changed strangely after hearing Lennok’s calm answer.
“Is there any reason to carry something like that in the Machine City?”
“I got it by chance.”
In fact it is one of the spirit snacks that undergraduate students bought to express their gratitude to Dabi after solving the case of the Ghost God Palace at Labatenon Magic University.
Dabi was very proud of the fact that the students were giving him food but there were few snacks that satisfied Dabi’s picky taste so most of them were kept in Lennok’s hands.
Lennok sprinkled such spirit snacks to draw out the spirits hiding inside the brazier and Boyan pretended to argue with Lennok and tried to somehow hide the spirits crawling out of the brazier.
“I see… So Narcissa’s eyes weren’t wrong after all.”
Cyberd muttered with a nervous expression but soon calmed down and cleared his throat.
“Anyway it’s clear that your diagnosis was most effective. “It hasn’t even been half a day but the temperature in the workshop is already returning to normal.”
“Thank goodness.”
“As promised I will not only introduce you to other craftsmen I know but I will also do my best to help you establish your consulting business.”
Cyberd nodded with a determined look on his face.
“If you have any contact information or flyers for your workshop please bring them and leave them in our workshop. “Within three days we will make sure that no one in this workshop district knows that your workshop has opened!”
“I don’t think it’s necessary to go that far but…”
Lennok said that and made an appointment to meet separately with Cyberd later and prepared to leave.
While the other disciples reopened the workshop and prepared to work Cybird came out alone to meet Lennok.
Lennok who was about to go back to his workshop looked back at Cyberd and opened his mouth as if he remembered something.
“Oh and can I give you one piece of advice about running a workshop in the future?”
“As much as you want.”
Lennok slightly lowered his voice and whispered in response to Cyvid’s answer filled with firm trust.
“It would be best not to show much in front of your students which side you value more.”
“…What do you mean?”
“All of the disciples’ shoes were completely black.”
Lennok said.
“Normally if you sit in one place and work at a furnace that doesn’t happen. “The direction in which you sit at the workbench and the stove is bound to become a habit.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about…”
“Didn’t he often change which side of the furnace he would sit at and work on depending on the performance of his students?”
Cyberd closed his mouth.
“As the direction of each furnace is different if you change places with the flame frequently your shoes will get scorched regardless of the direction of the furnace.”
“….”
“It appears that competition was deliberately encouraged so that excellent craftsmen could take turns sitting in the five furnaces depending on their performance.”
Lennok continued talking about Cyberd who could not say anything.
“Bojan probably noticed this and was convinced that he had been pushed out of the rankings. Therefore without much guilt I did not hesitate to use the workshop’s brazier as food for the spirits for my own safety.”
“Lyman I….”
Cyberd opened his mouth as if to make an excuse but soon gave up and let his shoulders droop helplessly.
“…Your intuition is truly amazing. Sharper than any craftsman or superhuman I’ve ever seen. No on the contrary it feels eerie.”
“….”
“that’s right. We decided that the ones who sat at the fireplace in good condition were those who had achieved success and we pushed for students to change seats every quarter. “The intention was to encourage the boys’ desire to improve…”
Perhaps Cybud’s thoughts became more severe after the temperature inside the workshop began to fluctuate.
Since the condition of the furnace varies slightly depending on the temperature of the workshop he probably thought that a good furnace should be entrusted to a student who achieved even a little bit of excellent results.
Lennok said quietly as he looked at the Cyberd.
“It’s not just Boyan. “Maybe the other students are vaguely aware of their position in the workshop.”
“….”
“I don’t mean to interfere with the cyber master craftsman’s view of education. “You understand right?”
Lennok nodded.
“You shouldn’t hide it at all but revealing it too openly is bound to cause resentment.”
That is why appropriateness is difficult.
But in the end since we are dealing with the same person isn’t it possible to go to either extreme?
Although there is no correct answer to the world’s affairs at least that is what Lennok felt was happening in the Cyberd workshop.
“Yeah right….”
Cybud’s eyes returned to focus as if he felt something.
He looked at Lennok and bowed his head slightly.
“I’m learning something today. thanks. “I will try my best to remember those words from now on.”
* * *
Across the street in the workshop district where the sunset is setting.
There was a person watching the two shadows coming out from inside the smoke-filled workshop.
What is unique about it is that it is located at the end of a mechanical barrier thousands of meters away.
The appearance of a man sitting leisurely and gazing with the naked eye at a distance where an ordinary person would be able to focus even using a telescope.
An inorganic voice rang out from within the arms of such a man.
[Is that man Lyman?]
“I heard he called himself Ban at first.”
The man answered.
“Lyman is an identity that Isabella created arbitrarily to allow him to participate in the selection ceremony. Even after the selection ceremony is over we continue to use that name for convenience.”
[It’s half…]
The voice that repeated the name with a strange sound laughed.
[Neither of these are real names right?]
“Looking at his actions so far I would say no.”
The focus of the man’s right eye which said that suddenly expanded and began rolling around in a strange curve.
With his right eye which rotates strangely as if focusing a camera lens he looks at the young man who is absorbed in cleaning inside the workshop.
“Considering the known temperament of fastness he is a cruel violent and arrogant wizard himself. “It’s completely different from Lyman’s actions so far.”
[….]
“I have been observing steadily for several days but I also agree with Isabella Hermes. It’s the other side. “It’s also somewhere closely connected to the old world.”
[Hmm….]
His voice seemed to be thinking about something for a long time and then he sighed lightly.
[Okay. If the two leaders of the executive branch made the same decision we should not stumble any further.]
As Lennok thought he had come too far for the name Lyman to not attract attention and the leaders of the Machine City were also aware of it.
The decision to move Lennok’s workshop to the upper workshop district was not the decision of Narcissa Solmer alone.
“It’s been a while since I last contacted you. How are you doing these days?”
The man who returned his focus back to normal smiled and joked.
“Haven’t Ex Machina been making noise for quite some time with the story about the governor’s son?”
[The machine head is holding the evidence and trying not to release it at all.]
The committee member called Hermes answered evenly.
[As the governor is from there the machine head believes that it is advantageous for government affairs to preserve the governor’s position.]
“Well that’s natural but….”
Each district of the machine city has a manager in charge but the term governor does not refer to a position in charge of administrative affairs for a particular district or district.
An entity that manages the Deep Zone where the most important deep sea wall in Machina is located and commands other managers.
As such it is only natural that in Ex Machina there is a fierce battle over which faction will be the governor.
And as the man feared the governors of this generation were not very clean-minded people regardless of whether they were public or private.
[Just one more thing. It seems that Commissioner Brahms started a pointless argument during the Meister selection ceremony. It is said that performance was urgent as there was not much time left in the term right?]
“Oh you mean that? “Seeing as Isabella doesn’t say anything there’s no need to worry too much…”
[Right now he is probably thinking about the mistakes he made in the flames of the incinerator.]
“….”
The man closed his mouth at Hermes’ calmly muttered words.
[There is a possibility that the mastermind behind Narcissa Solmer’s assassination is connected to the Governor. Late or early he won’t be able to maintain that position for long.]
“…So you’re planning to shake the machine’s head and see its reaction?”
[All preparations have already been completed. He hurt the thing he loved and cherished the most and took that blemish.]
Hermes said in a joyful voice.
[All that remains is to wait until the failure of the Ascension Gate spills over this city.]
“….”
Instead of responding the man stood up and looked at the cloudy sky of Machine City in silence.
Several decades ago the Machine City Machina closed its walls and reduced interaction with the outside world to a minimum.
Rather the number of people who sneak into Machina and find out the secrets they are hiding has increased significantly.
In the process a large number of powerful people who even the enforcers could not let down their guard not only invaded Machina but were also captured and detained.
Even at this very moment other enforcers are running around the huge mechanical barrier struggling to endure the iron discipline.
Men shouldn’t fool around for a long time either.
The moment the man who thought so glanced away.
“…uh?”
[Why is that so?]
“I don’t know if I saw it wrong….”
The man slightly tilted his head and muttered quietly.
“I think you just looked this way.”
There was no movement of gaze or any sign of detection in this direction but the man’s sixth sense felt as if he had caught a faint sense of déjà vu.
Is this just a residual thought that arises in the process of reflecting on what needs to be done in the future?
After that the man who had been watching Lennok carefully for a while disappeared without finding anything unusual.
“….”
Lennok followed the faint trace of a shadow disappearing in the distance until the end without turning his gaze.
“What are you doing there?”
“…It’s nothing.”
Although he felt a watching eye stepping down at this point would mean nothing more than keeping him in check.
In that case Lennok can still pursue his original purpose with peace of mind.
Two objectives pursued by Lennok when he first entered the city.
Finding the blueprints left in Kaise’s research journal and investigating the secrets of the Gate of Ascension.
Although they were memories left in different spaces and times the fact that they were hidden without anyone knowing was the same.
The legacy of the Old World as seen through Boyan’s memories and the power of the Gate controlled through the rules of the Code of Steel.
Are the memories and traces of the destroyed world recorded beyond the gate to how far this city continues?
For now with no choice but to chase the closer there’s only one thing Lennok has to do.
“If the Ascension Gate still remains in the form of a gate in this city…”
You can’t be sure of anything unless you go inside it yourself.
