    The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 664

    Retribution (6)

    Clap clap clap!!

    The noise of thick chains being broken resonates in a dark room.

    Under the dim lighting only the shadows of dozens of people moving about busily pass by.

    A strange silence with no one speaking even amid the bustling crowd.

    All I can feel is the feeling of watching being wary and being afraid of something sinking in the center of the room.

    Click.

    A door opens at the far end of the hallway and several people walk into the room.

    As the people who only exchanged glances without any conversation moved their hands the chains hanging in the center of the room slightly opened to the left and right.

    Charrrrrrr!!

    The figure of a young man wearing a patient’s uniform emerged from the pile of chains along with an annoying noise.

    Although he looks a bit tired his unique sharp impression has not lost its shine.

    Pot!!

    As soon as the face was revealed the lights in the room turned on and the young man frowned as if he was dazzled.

    “This is…”

    What catches the eye of the young man who has adapted to the bright lighting is that there are more than a dozen people watching him.

    Each and every one of them is a superhuman with skilled magic power and a trained body.

    Superhumans holding weapons at close range were guarding the young man and thousands of guns were aimed at Lennok from outside the room.

    And even several people standing in front of him wearing suits that cover their entire bodies.

    “…I see.”

    Lennok who finally understood the situation smiled and stretched a little.

    Slam!

    When I tried to move my shoulder dozens of thick chains tightly pressed down and bound my arm.

    Compressed horsepower that rushes forward and restrains new recruits with just the slightest amount of force.

    An elongated tombstone-like magic stone is hung around his neck like a restraint ball and his limbs are tied and floating in the air.

    The chains and ropes wrapped around the back and fixed throughout the room are filled with unknown characters adding to their strength and restraint.

    The effects of magic and magic are added to all the substances and restraints that surround Lennok’s body trying to hold them in the space itself.

    “Narcissa. “I acted as I wanted but…”

    Fisik Lennok pretended to lift his motionless shoulder.

    “I came back like this. “There’s no need to overreact right?”

    [Overreaction?]

    The answer came from the person in the suit standing at the very front of Lennok.

    A woman’s voice so sharp and high-pitched that it stings the listener’s ears.

    [You seem to think this situation is a joke right?]

    “….”

    Cheek!!

    A young woman takes off her helmet and reveals her face.

    The executioners standing nearby opened their mouths with nervous expressions.

    “Pviya.”

    “It’s dangerous. “If you show your face to me…”

    “The fastness of the Balkans.”

    A woman called Pviya looked at Lennok and said with a cold expression.

    “The reason I received high-quality medical care even after committing a large number of serious crimes that bordered on harm is not because I was afraid or worried about you.”

    “….”

    “It was just a consideration to leave the past as a mistake and secure testimony for the quick normalization of the city.”

    Pviya who was looking intently at Lennok’s face muttered.

    “Using Ex Machina’s guidelines to find the best strategy in this way… I was expecting too much from a magician who lived in the back alleys.”

    Everyone closed their mouths and listened quietly to her ice-cold words.

    “From now on Ex Machina will directly manage your affairs. “It controls all life reactions and magical energy flow and ensures that its terrifying power is not used in vain.”

    “….”

    “The crime of impersonating a craftsman and making fun of citizens without permission. The karma of slaughtering the city’s soldiers and scattering their blood. A disquiet that foresaw the city’s most dangerous secrets and incited chaos.”

    Pvija said.

    “Until we receive compensation appropriate for all of those responsibilities-”

    “There’s one thing you said that’s wrong.”

    Slam!!

    At the same time that Lennok’s mouth fell a dozen executioners thrust their blades between Lennok’s neck and forehead.

    “Shut your mouth fast.”

    “A wizard who can’t even use magic…!!”

    “….”

    But Lennok ignored the stinging feeling on his skin and quietly turned his gaze to one side.

    The face of the executioner aiming at Lennok’s neck.

    Make eye contact with the executioner and stare intently into his eyes.

    Without any magic power or momentum I just stared into his eyes.

    Despite this the executioner’s expression begins to shake and collapse little by little and the tip of the blade he is holding begins to shake little by little.

    “urg…!!”

    The blade swings lightly grazing the nape of Lennok’s neck and the blood drips down the chain.

    The complexions of the other executioners changed dramatically when they saw that Lennok’s body was bleeding.

    “Taven. “What are you doing!!”

    “Come to your senses!!”

    Of course I’m not worried about Lennok getting hurt or bleeding here.

    The blood of a high-ranking wizard is itself a powerful concentration of magic power and a material that also acts as a catalyst for magic.

    What’s more isn’t the opponent a monster who wields his talent without hesitation even without using magic?

    No one can predict what kind of variable Lennok’s spilled blood will play in this situation.

    However despite the other executors’ shouting reprimands the executor called Taven did not stop.

    “iced coffee…!!”

    Rather he just faintly twitched and took a step back unable to take his eyes off Lennok’s eyes at all.

    At the same time Taiven who had inadvertently distanced himself from Lennok came to his senses and turned pale.

    “This is…!!”

    Taiven who belatedly realized what a disgrace he had shown stuttered before giving up and lowering his head.

    Lennok who only then took his gaze away smiled and turned his head towards Fviya.

    “You didn’t do it because you were afraid?”

    “….”

    For the first time Fviya was unable to respond to Lennok’s sarcastic words and fell silent.

    Because that reaction just showed what the people gathered here thought of Lennok.

    I just took a step back.

    But what if it was the result of overpowering elites like enforcers without using any magic power?

    Just by giving a glance or a glance they become wary and twitch showing a gap.

    Lennok’s words and actions are not bravado but are part of a miracle that will unfold when and how and a reaction that is impossible without the ominous certainty that it will definitely reach him.

    Since he is a talented executioner who is more sensitive to senses and intuition he knows very well what kind of wizard Lennok is so he overreacts.

    “It’s not strange. “There are too many theoretical premises necessary to tie down a high-ranking wizard.”

    Lennok laughed breaking the tense atmosphere around him with just one question and answer.

    “It would have been difficult to attempt it without the talent and technology available at the time when Gagye City was in its heyday. “I don’t know if they bring that guy with superpowers.”

    High-ranking wizard. It is virtually impossible to capture a wizard who transcends hierarchy like Lennok.

    A state where one begins to transcend hierarchy and deal with space as a result.

    How much human capital and investment should be needed to keep these people alive and incarcerated rather than killing them?

    Even if skilled players of the same level put pressure on you with their numbers and prepare according to all the situations and conditions you cannot be sure.

    [Aoshu Spero withdrew from the scene due to an explosion of innate abilities.]

    A man standing next to Pviya in a suit that covered his entire body answered instead.

    [As you participated through the arbitrary judgment of some members of Ex Machina I will not respond to your interrogation.]

    “Then I think it would be a good idea to get rid of this heavy chain first.”

    Lennok looked at him and smiled.

    “Do we really have to go through this uncomfortable process even though we know it’s meaningless?”

    [In order to convince all members of an organization appropriate procedures and justification are needed. The same goes for this case.]

    As if the man was amused he pushed past Pviya and walked forward and said.

    [You are locked up in a prison facility. Even after facing Spero his mind did not collapse. Don’t all arrangements that seem trivial at first glance lead to the promised results?]

    “It’s a promise…”

    [I think I understand why the bailiffs are so afraid of you.]

    The man whispered.

    [Overwhelming firepower and amazing skills. Combat experience through countless battlefields. But what is more dangerous than anything else is the transcendent intuition within that head itself.]

    “….”

    [There is something that makes warriors more fearful than losing and dying in battle. I feel the discomfort of having my whole self completely dug up and scratching away at my core… There is a fear that inevitably comes to light when you investigate what you have done.]

    “The story of Gongchi is long.”

    Lennok responded harshly.

    “What do you want to say?”

    [Would you rather work for the Machine City instead of Balkan who does not recognize you?]

    Snap!!

    What emerged after taking off the helmet was the face of an elderly man covered in various scars.

    An appearance that has endured all kinds of hardships. The cloudy distorted gray eyes suggest that the man is a soldier who has lived in the battlefield for a long time.

    “Although you wield magical talents you are more of a warrior than anyone else. “He may not be a soldier who follows orders but he is someone who is accustomed to fighting and always achieves the best results.”

    “….”

    “In the name of Ex Machina I will sponsor you create a position and put you in charge of the unit. I will give you the authority to use this city’s resources and talent to your heart’s content. “If you want you can become the head of the executive body.”

    “Now Minister…!!”

    The embarrassed bailiffs stopped him by inadvertently calling out the man’s title.

    That would mean that the man’s proposal was unconventional and possible enough to make the executioners agitated.

    “It would be enough if at least part of that ability was used for Machina. “I saw a lot of potential in you.”

    “It’s a possibility….”

    Lennok muttered those words and lowered his head slightly.

    Dozens of superhumans standing around him and hundreds of officials watching him through the screen.

    Everyone watches the movement and waits for Lennok to move his mouth.

    said Lennok who raised his gaze in still silence.

    “Okay I understand what you’re thinking here. What’s next?”

    “…next?”

    “Mechanical head and steel heart. “Didn’t each person convey a different position?”

    Lennok asked looking at Fvija and the Minister with an expressionless face.

    “Then you should listen to Warhammer.”

    “….”

    “….”

    Lennok ignoring the two speechless people and finding exactly one person among the people standing in suits asked a question.

    “Narcissa. “Are you ready yet?”

    […I knew it from the beginning.]

    Narcissa took off her helmet and walked forward looking at Lennok and asking.

    “When did you start noticing?”

    “Well… since when the committee members walked in with their faces hidden?”

    Lennok answered calmly.

    “Some of them seem to have hidden themselves because they were the ones who confronted me but you can’t hide them with suits like that.”

    When Lennok’s transparent gaze caught sight of him all of the committee members who were still covering their faces flinched and trembled.

    “Your weight your gait the speed of your breathing your heartbeat and even the twisting of your joints… there are facts that are revealed even if you can’t see them.”

    “….”

    Does this mean that he remembered the habits of members he met in the past and compared them with his suit to determine their identity?

    The committee members and executive officers forgot what to say and fell silent at those ridiculous words.

    Lennok ignored that reaction and looked at Narcissa who came up to him and asked.

    “So what is the story you want to tell at Warhammer? Looking at your actions so far I think your opinion is representing that faction.”

    The three factions that define Ex Machina.

    The scholars’ mechanical heads the warriors’ steel hearts and the artisans’ war hammer.

    Among them the machine-headed Pvya put pressure on Lennok while the steel-hearted Minister tried to recruit Lennok.

    Artificial consideration that does not intervene at the moment of conversation with Lennok despite showing conflicting positions and attitudes.

    Lennok checked this and realized that at this moment three factions were expressing different positions to Lennok at the same time.

    “The fact that Machine Head rejected me and Steel Heart tried to appease me is interesting in itself but neither is what I want.”

    Lennok laughed even as he watched Fviya and the Minister’s expressions distort with different emotions.

    “Now I want to hear honestly what you want. “If not…”

    “Maiya Renslit requested a judicial deal.”

    “…what?”

    A name so unexpected that Lennok who had been silent asked again.

    Narcissa answered looking at Lennok with her arms crossed without hiding her discomfort.

    “In exchange for your pardon he gave up some of the information he had in advance.”

    “….”

    “We at Warhammer would like to propose a deal… considering Lyman’s contribution to the city as a craftsman and the utility of a judicial transaction.”

    In the quiet silence only Narcissa’s voice rang out.

    “In exchange for a special pardon and guaranteed identity we ask you to cooperate with all tasks necessary to resolve the city including confidentiality and witness attendance and trial cooperation.”

    “…I see.”

    At that moment the chains tightly wrapped around Lennok’s body began to unravel in the opposite direction.

    The chains that had been tightly constricting his body until now were falling helplessly from their place as if they were an illusion.

    At the same time the inscriptions and binding magic engraved on the chain shattered like glass and rose above the head like a haze.

    Wow!!

    At the same time as the strange sound of the explosion the space in all directions spun and collapsed as if it had been shattered.

    The figure of Lennoc casually lowering his arms and sitting down in the center of the crack.

    The moment when everyone’s complexion turned pale at the sight of a wizard who was not bound by any restraints from the beginning.

    Lennok who walked down in front of Narcissa looked at her and smiled faintly.

    “Now we have come up with the right conditions. yes?”
