Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 665

The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 665
Retribution (7)
[Therefore all defendants are acquitted of the 27 special serious crime charges submitted to them.]
Tiring!!
A military court covered in dark wood.
At the same time as the judge’s sentence a bell rings to signal the end of the trial.
While Lennok who was standing in the defendant’s box with his hands tied was shrugging his shoulders someone sitting behind him rushed towards him.
“Wow!!”
A superhuman like Lennok wearing a prison uniform and with both hands tied screamed and launched himself at him.
The officers standing nearby subdued the frightened prisoner and pressed his head to the floor.
“Stay still!!”
“What are you trying to do!!”
“Why the fuck are you innocent!!!”
The one glaring at Lennok with bloodshot eyes is one of the soldiers of the Mechanized Fire Corps.
He was one of the very few superhumans who was sentenced to death on serious charges of human sacrifice.
“You killed all my colleagues…!! “Why does this monster have to live unscathed?”
“Put a gag in his mouth!!”
“Take them to solitary confinement immediately!”
The police officers surrounding the prisoner quickly left the court leaving only the defense attorney and the witness judge.
“Thank you for your sincere cooperation in responding to the judicial transaction.”
The judge cleared his throat while looking at Lennok and added:
“I’m sorry I can’t officially praise you for your work but I’m glad things ended smoothly.”
“….”
“According to the recommendations from Ex Machina your identity as Lyman will be protected and the workshop assigned to the upper-level workshop district will also be maintained.”
“I understand.”
“There will be no way to recover any of the belongings or income obtained as a Lyman. “This was decided through consensus among all members within Ex Machina.”

This means that Ban and Lyman’s identities will be unofficially recognized and tolerated by Machine City.
In fact it was Lennok’s first dual identity recognized by others.
As Lennok nodded his head the handcuffs on his hands were released and fell to his feet.
Snap!!
The sight of Lennok massaging his wrist and looking around created a tense atmosphere in the courtroom.
The fastness of a megacity. Because no one knew how blood-stained the reputation of the wizard the most dangerous in the shadows was.
ㅣThis is a monster that single-handedly trampled the 3rd corps of the Enlightenment Corps and killed nearly half of the Side Squad agents.
Didn’t they go to each part of the Machina Armed Forces to confirm that the strength and power they had only heard about through rumors were not as good as their imagination?
Although he accepted the deal strangely obediently he was a dangerous man who did nothing strange at any time.
However the magician’s power and information were so important that even Ex Machina could not treat him carelessly.
But Lennok had somewhat expected it to turn out this way from the beginning.
Narcissa Solmer no one else knew that Lennok resolved this situation by opposing Hermes.
Although she put pressure on him and offered him a deal she had no intention of harming or killing Lennok from the beginning.
However an appropriate justification and excuse were needed to compensate and exonerate Lennok in an appropriate manner.
And the thing that put the final piece together was none other than the existence of a former bailiff who had long ago been expelled from this city.
“….”
He looks nervous and turns his back on the executioner and several superhumans who are watching Lennok’s actions.
Lennok who was about to walk out of the courtroom without a word stopped and turned around at the door as if he remembered something.
Lennok opened his mouth ignoring the people flinching and warying all around him.
“I just want to check one last thing.”
“What is it?”
“Mouser Blofeld. “Can you put the same disclaimer on them as I did?”
“….”
The judges made eye contact and nodded looking somewhat relieved.
“As Master Blofeld is a disciple of Hwadeokjingun he will not receive any major punishment or disciplinary action.”
“He is staying in the workshop district of his own free will but considering Commissioner Solmer it would not be strange if he came up to the council right away.”
Lennok nodded.
“That’s enough.”
“The conditions are more unique than I thought. “If you still have the intention to work as a craftsman…”
thud!!
Without receiving an answer Lennok walked out of the courtroom.
Lennok slowly exhaled as he stood in front of the quiet courtroom door filled with the chilly dawn air.
“Whoa….”
The scene of the machine city that was in chaos due to Hermes’ forced division.
However in a few days almost all traces and ruins have been repaired and the city is returning to its normal appearance.
Machina is a mechanical city where the entire city is divided into huge mechanical barriers and divisions.
Once a system is out of order it is easy for it to break and collapse but on the other hand it is also easy to repair and restore the damaged parts.

“Mouser…”
[Shall we find the coordinates of that chunky organism?]
Lennok who was lost in thought at Dabi’s words smiled and shook his head.
“No this will be fine for now. “It’s not like I can’t come back anyway.”
As long as Lyman’s identity remains under Ex Machina’s official status he can visit Machina again whenever he wants.
Lennok who accepted the judicial deal suggested by Narcissa Solmer testified about Hermes’ plan and the failure that led to his suicide.
It became possible to receive recognition for the status of a craftsman ownership of the workshop and earned income.
Of course if I knew what items Lennoc had acquired in this city I would have had no choice but to change my mind but since even the process was left unknown it was useless.
“Let’s go back to the Balkans first. “I guess I’ll have to contact Jenny first.”
Although it was treated as a misreport by the media the news that Lennok was captured in Machina was leaked so Jenny must have known about this as well.
It is necessary to at least contact them to let them know that the matter has been properly resolved and that they are back.
I picked up my cell phone which I had turned off looked through my message box and got on a nearby transport.
Lennok’s ticket which had been difficult to access even a single section when he first entered the Machine City was upgraded to authority comparable to that of Ex Machina through a series of events.
[Welcome Craftsman Lyman.]
[All transportation within Machina is provided free of charge for skilled craftsmen.]
[Please feel free to use all public facilities in the city for your craftsman’s talents!]
As soon as Lennok got on board his name was called flashy effects rang out and other citizens riding in the spacious vehicle all looked at Lenok.
“….”
Could it be that releasing Lennok right in front of the judge was a sophisticated ploy for this purpose?
Lennok walked back to the outskirts of the city with his head down pretending not to notice and only after finding the train station did he take the ticket out of his wrist.
“The train to the Balkans is….”
[It arrives in 10 minutes.]
“Still I’m glad there won’t be any trouble with the organ dealers like there was when I came here.”
Since I dealt with all kinds of criminals before arriving in Machine City I also want to take it easy when I return.
Since my condition hasn’t fully recovered it’s best to return quietly without being caught up in an incident.
“….”
Lennok who was thinking so raised his head when he realized that the train station which had been noisy just a moment ago had become quiet.
A quiet station in the middle of a station where people have completely retreated as if someone had planned it.
On the other side of the railway in front of the waiting area facing the opposite direction someone was sitting quietly looking at Lennok.
A woman of mysterious age with an impression of coldness and coldness.
Even though there is no sign of anything the eerie atmosphere seems to be flowing all the way to the other side of the railroad.
Lennok seeing her face smiled bitterly and tilted his head back.
“okay. “There was still work left to do right?”
Maiya Renslit.
A criminal who used to be the Machine City’s best enforcer and is now its worst outcast.
A level 8 super-talented person who helped Lenno throw the entire machine city into chaos and stalled time by dealing with the enforcement agencies.
She who thought she had left the city after the incident was over was still waiting for Lennok.
“I didn’t know they would offer a judicial bargain to free me.”
Lennok asked taking out a candle and lighting it.
“What did you offer in return?”
“When I stepped down from my position as executive officer and was expelled there were several businesses that I could not take over.”
Maiya sat with her legs crossed and answered quietly.
“The price was to hand over some of the authority of important military facilities that were under construction at the time and some secrets left behind by the city’s founders.”
“….”
“It may not be a big deal but Ex Machina has a value that cannot be converted into money and it is also related to the benefits of the war hammer so Narcissa would not have been able to ignore it.”
“If you had that many cards in your hands why didn’t you use them for yourself?”
“The charges against me are not something that can be cleared up through judicial transactions.”
Maiya laughed lowly.
“More than 800 billion worth of property damage and more than 80000 casualties. “Because my name is on the final list of all casualties related to that.”
“…There are a lot. “Did you make mass murder a hobby while working as an executioner?”
While Lennok was speechless at the shame beyond imagination Maiya nodded.
“It’s all about assets and people who disappeared beyond the void through the failure of the Ascension Gate Plan.”
“….”
“Whether it was then or now what I want is the same.”
Maiya slowly stood up and stared coldly at Lennok who was sitting on the other side of the railway.
“Reverting all the mistakes and responsibilities that were sacrificed due to the failure of the Ascension Gate to their original state. “I don’t plan on coming back to this city until it’s over.”
“Put it back to the way it was.”
Lennok chuckled.
“You know how absurd that promise is right?”
What Maiya says is not that complicated or profound.
The former executioner that Lennok knew was an intuitive honest and equally sharp and perceptive person.
What Maiya Rensleyt always wanted was the same and she never hid that fact.
It was only at this point when Lennok understood all the secrets of the Gate of Ascension that he could understand its meaning.
Maiya is not trying to fix the failure of the Ascension Gate in her own way.
She is literally trying to undo the failure of the Ascension Gate Plan.
Tens of thousands of people and enormous assets were used for human sacrifice for the Ascension Gate project.
The miracle of causal reversal that brings it out beyond the already determined results.
“The soul sacrificed through human sacrifice never returns. Even though you know that you still try to reverse the cause and effect that was once decided….”
Lennok muttered puffing his teeth.
“Of all the hopes a monster like you could have this is the most vain and pointless one.”
However Maiya Rensleyt bowed her head and joined Pandemonium precisely because she had such a wish.
A leader who transcended the world and found the answer.
The existence of a doctor who knows more about the failure of the Ascension Gate including human sacrifice than anyone else.
If Maiya wants to save the victims who were sacrificed as human sacrifices the closest organization to that method would be Pandemonium.
And that was why Lennok could understand why Maiya was bringing up this story again at this point.
This is also why Maiya who should have left this city right away to avoid being pursued waited for Lennok until she saved him through a judicial transaction.
“Come into Pandemonium class.”
Maiya said quietly.
“Your talent and experience will undoubtedly meet the leader’s standards. Joining the team itself will not be difficult.”
Lennok didn’t answer and just dusted off the tobacco in silence.
Maiya looked closely at Lennok’s reaction and continued.
“If you saw the memory beyond the door you would know that what he wants is a feat that no one in this world has attempted. To be precise it is the process of realizing the impossible and creating new possibilities that did not exist.”
The other side of the station where the cold wind blows. Maiya’s soft voice rang as clearly as a whisper in my ear.
“It is a monster that has already accomplished the feat once while attempting an irresistible miracle. And I… I don’t think he’s wrong.”
“So you are willing to introduce a special talent on behalf of the leader?”
“There are many monsters in Pandemonium with special and more powerful talents than me. And even those people are chasing impossible miracles under the leadership of the leader.”
Maiya mocked herself.
“This is because no matter what you hope for or what you reject you only crave one value at the end.”
“….”
“No matter where your goals and desires lie this organization can answer you. “The more you want something different and special from others the more you will find it in the end.”
Maiya’s words were quiet and calm but all of them exquisitely touched the essence.
The nature of pandemonium in search of special talent. The more you want something different from others the more attracted you are to them.
None of that is wrong. Lennok also felt the same way as Maiya and moved in the same direction as her.
Moreover how many people would be able to provide a method as sure as the Pandemonium for Maiya who has a wish to reverse the human sacrifice trade?
It becomes clear what Maiya thinks of the leader and what she feels about the value of this organization.
And that may be because Lennok has already dipped his feet under that value to some extent.
That’s why Lennok couldn’t accept Maiya’s proposal right here.
Lennok had already entered deep into the center of pandemonium under his other name Victor.
“I’ve heard similar stories several times from warlocks and war mercenaries.”
Lennok who had chosen an appropriate answer that only half of him could give in a different way than Victor opened his mouth.
Lennok said leaning back in his chair and making eye contact with Maiya with a calm gaze.
“We have already responded to their proposal. “I hope this was a sufficient answer.”
“…I see.”
Warlock and war mercenary.
Although he said it indirectly Maiya immediately realized who he was referring to and laughed.
If only King Pluto and Kroken had advised Lennok and Ban had not entered Pandemonium yet.
Even after seeing the leader’s memories it is unlikely that the answer will change.
Maiya who understood that Lennok had told her that nodded and slowly stood up.
Lennok asked as if he had suddenly thought of something looking at her as she was about to disappear immediately without a single comment.
“At the military trial my crimes and charges were dealt with through judicial transactions but your criminal record only increased.”
“….”
“Are you okay with the fact that you are virtually not responsible for this incident?”
“…A body designated as an outcast. “Now nothing will change just because I’m accused of a few more felonies.”
Maiya answered self-deprecatingly.
At the same time her body was enveloped in the fog of the train station and gradually became blurred.
“If you accuse me of a crime blame me hate me hate me… if only you remember me like that.”
“….”
“For some people even that is the driving force to live. yes?”
“…well.”
Lennok smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“I don’t know.”
Is it okay if even hatred towards oneself becomes a driving force for this city?
A love and hate that goes beyond devotion. What was it about that cruel and cold executioner that made me cherish this city so much?
There was no time to think long and ask questions.
Instead of clinging to the sign of Maiya who had disappeared before he knew it Lennok quietly looked away.
I stood up and looked at the lights of the approaching train beyond the fog.
Now it was finally time to return to the big city.
Lennok muttered as he waited for the incoming train leaning his shoulder against a streetlamp.
“Even if I go back to the Balkans there is so much work to do….”
As the journey in the Machine City was long the meaning and harvest gained was significant.
Even if I go back to the lab right away and stay away for a full month I feel like I don’t have enough time.
Lennok who was waiting for the train and thinking about what to do next chuckled.
“Shall we start with the thing that looks the most fun first?”
[…Is this fun?]
Lennok put his hand into Dabi’s arms leaving him confused.
“jenny. “Is it okay for a moment?”
Lennok who took out his cell phone walked towards the train while casually making a call somewhere.
“I will explain the details later but I have a favor to ask. “I got my hands on something interesting.”
A faint smile formed on Lennok’s lips when he heard Jenny’s voice shouting something.
“okay. All you have to do is gather people who know. Should we just have a release party? “I said I was going to buy each gift.”
…!!
“No I’m not crazy. It’s not like he turned away while being interrogated. In the first place they both mean the same thing. “Don’t you just want to say something mean to me?”
Dabi asked hanging in Lennok’s arms as he ended the call and put away his cell phone.
[Now are you going to buy some souvenirs for the organisms?]
“That can’t be possible.”
Laughing lightly Lennok held the image of the door frame left by Kaise in his hand.
Only then did the Thunder Spirit’s tail flutter as it realized Lennok’s intention.
[…no way?]
“Since this is something we obtained here shouldn’t we try it out right away?”
Cheap!!
As soon as I get on the train with the door open even the sound of Lennok’s words fades away.
As the fog cleared there was no longer anyone left at the railway station.
