The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 669
Random Box (4)
The reaction around the object Antares took out was just creepy.
But I feel like Lennok knows how dangerous it is.
Antares stands in front of a huge mechanical box with an expression on his face.
“heartbreak….”
“Did you get a call from your class?”
The mercenaries and freelancers gathered at the mansion looked at the mercenary leader with a somewhat surprised expression.
In particular the mercenaries belonging to his office looked even more surprised.
It was as if he had never expected Antares to appear in person at a place like this.
“It’s been a while since I saw your face in a place like this.”
“Would you like to have a beer too leader?”
“Today I will definitely be recommended a prize-winning event…!!”
Antares paid no attention to their gaze and just looked around.
“It’s a nice house. “Is this your taste?”
He didn’t seem the least bit surprised by the cracks and lights flashing throughout Lennok’s mansion.
He just tilts his head slightly as if reading the reverberations of lightning passing by.
Dismissal!!
The fragments of the lightning that naturally passed by my ear struck the mechanical box igniting its magical power.
Lennok looked at that and smiled.
“It was closer than I thought. “I thought we wouldn’t be able to contact you in the first place.”
“I was lucky.”
Antares calmly agreed.
“I had some business to take care of on the Eastern Continent.”
“What needs to be done?”
“There are people who do not let go of their burdens even after a long journey.”

“….”
Antares closed his eyes.
“I intend to give them back the roles they once had. “It was too late but it had to be done at some point.”
I heard that a long time ago Antares went on a long journey with those who shared his cause.
Do the stories he talks about about travel and baggage represent lingering regrets about not being able to let go of what happened back then?
As always Antares’ words were quite metaphorical so Lennok had no intention of asking for further explanation.
“That’s why you came here late even though all the work you had to do was done.”
“no. “It was unplanned so we had to change the schedule quickly.”
Antares answered.
“On good days anticipation trumps understanding. “I plan to go back after checking one thing.”
“….”
It is true that I came here because of the contact I received from Lennok and the existence of the random box.
Does this mean that the random box gift itself is not the purpose?
Lennok’s eyes sank deeply as he understood Antares’ words to some extent.
Antares is a prophet who received limited power in return for seeing the ending in advance.
What if he had changed his plans at this point?
“Is it because this is an area you have not foreseen?”
“It’s the opposite. “I came to you because my wisdom had begun.”
Antares smiled and shook his head.
“Areas that should have been invisible began to become visible. “The reason I came here is because I wanted to check the whole story.”
“….”
“You’ll be okay right?”
Antares is a more powerful prophet than anyone Lennok knows and is a fragment of omnipotence who sacrificed all his potential to see an ending that did not exist and returned.
However the reason why Antares shows favor towards Lennok is because Lennok’s existence is something that his foresight cannot easily grasp.
Nevertheless if this party held by Lennok had begun to be caught by Antares’ foresight
Isn’t that because of the presence of a huge mechanical box shaking in front of Antares?
Antares came here aware of the fact and asked if it would be okay for him to check the Ascension Gate.
“Like I said it doesn’t matter but…”
It is a random box operated by a person with the ability to foresee the future.
At least there is no doubt that he is the only person here who can handle the element of ‘luck’ as he pleases.
If luck itself can be foreseen and adjusted it would not be entirely wrong to say that Antares is the luckiest person.
It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t curious about what Antares would see and pull out of there…
“Because you’re not the only one who came late.”
“….”
With those words a black-haired woman silently got down behind Lennok.
He puts both hands inside a thick jumper and wears a hat that slightly covers his face.
The outfit looks like it’s out for a quick drink. However his movements were so agile that no one here could match them.

Only the green eyes that shine slightly through the hat indirectly tell us who she is.
People who recognized her identity at a glance began to be slightly wary of her.
“Eveline Marcia….”
“Why is Hyeonggung here?”
“The rumor that you knew Ban was true.”
Some people met Evelyn at Jenny’s bar while others saw her for the first time here.
An ace agent and an archer with natural talent.
There is no one at least in the shadows of the Balkans who has not heard of that name and prestige.
Moreover it is natural for mercenaries to be wary of her as she has been active against all kinds of criminal organizations and mercenary groups.
Evelyn completely ignored their gazes passed by Lennok and stood in front of a huge mechanical box.
Doo doo doo…!!
Antares and Evelyn stare at each other in silence across the temporary Ascension Gate.
Everyone fell silent at the face of the two monsters who had overcome the seven hierarchies of self-transformation and reached an unexplored level in human bodies.
“…is this okay?”
“I don’t know if I’ll be able to return safely today…”
“Since we have a class wouldn’t we be able to save a few people?”
[It sounds so good that it’s almost uncomfortable to listen to. Do you guys also have a spare body?]
Evelyn looked at Antares and said leaving behind the meaningless conversation heard everywhere.
“It’s been a while Antares.”
“Marcia.”
Antares laughed.
“You still have the agility to stay one step ahead of reason. “Whether it was intentional or not the scene I see from you is no different.”
“I was planning on just taking a look but seeing that they showed interest made me want to check it out.”
Was the light outfit and secretive presence originally due to the intention of just watching?
Evelyn’s green eyes scanned the mercenaries at the Antares office.
“Your office’s activity has decreased so strange people are setting up operations in the shadows. “You haven’t forgotten your deal with the Central Council right?”
“The operation of the office is left entirely to Stella. “I can connect you if necessary.”
“Stella?”
After muttering the name of the office vice-head Evelyn frowned slightly and tilted her head.
“Are you talking about the Stella I know? “You were in that office?”
“The wind does not remember those who once passed by.”
Antares shook his head lightly.
“You are the same at any time and at any time.”
“…I don’t know why you keep comparing people to strange metaphors.”
The moment Evelin crossed her arms and lightly snapped her fingers it felt as if a sharp anticipation enveloped the space.
A fleeting expression of will.
With that alone the atmosphere in all directions is sharply awakened and responds to the archer’s will.
“I don’t have a bad memory and I’m not the type of person who is neat about making and breaking relationships. “Do you feel a little more at ease after making a decision like that?”
“….”
Antares did not answer but the silence became his answer.
Do you think it is meaningless to try to explain or convince of that fact?
A torrent of thoughts so sharp that it would not be strange if they collided at any moment.
However it was Evelyn who collected the magic power first.
Evelyn wore her hat tightly hiding her green eyes under the brim.
“Ha… let’s stop. “I have no intention of fighting in a place like this.”
“…there may be something in the invisible realm that makes you different.”
I felt Antares slightly nodding his head.
“I will not make excuses. What you see and hear isn’t everything. “I too am just a blind person trapped in prejudice.”
“….”
“Is there a place beyond that for the wind to stay?”
For a moment his eyes seemed to be winking at Rennok but Evelyn was no longer swayed by Antares’ words.
He just put his hand back into his jumper as if he was annoyed and nodded his head in a lazy gesture.
“Okay let’s decide the order. Are you going to do it first?”
“If you want.”
“I don’t really care.”
If you think about it Evelyn arrived a little before Antares but does this mean that the order in which the levers are pulled doesn’t matter?
Although Lennok called her to come she didn’t seem to be very interested even though she confirmed the random box’s abilities.
Antares stared at Evelyn blankly for a while then slowly nodded and stepped forward.
“Then I won’t decline.”
Antares who was quietly staring at the lever made of penterect soon grabbed it with one hand.
The mercenary leader naturally pulls the lever without applying much force.
Tick tock….
Unlike others there are no loud sound effects or whispers of spirits fluttering overhead.
A mechanical noise like a timer going off.
There was only a regular vibration sound and the feeling of something being caught.
“….”
widely!
A timer sound that feels somewhat ominous. It was a moment when I felt like I was eavesdropping on the sound of the second hand alone in a dark room.
Jump up!!
The door of the random box was wide open but nothing came out from inside.
Instead only cold frozen breath began to flow out from inside the box.
Phew…!!
“…!!”
At that moment the expressions of Felix and Evelyn who were watching the situation changed drastically.
“what? “Nothing comes out?”
[Something… strange.]
Most people like Jenny and Jorden are just confused by the current situation.
Even those with good senses like Mila and Wei An were sweating coldly with a slightly sour expression on their faces.
“Fuck this….”
“It looks like you’re looking into it…?”
“…”
Lennok also immediately knew why Felix and Evelyn were reacting like that.
Cracking crackling…!!
What now rests beyond the void of the Ascension Gate is not simply a relic or memory of the old world.
A thought so bizarrely twisted that it’s hard to believe it came from an intelligent creature.
Just by that being landing on this spot the space feels dull and dead.
A hopeless feeling as if the whole body instinctively accepts death and sinks.
And in front of the Ascension Gate where those thoughts were flowing out Antares was silently looking inside the box.
“Antares.”
Lennok called out to him with an expressionless face.
I just quietly call his name without any magical power.
But that was enough for Antares to look beyond the door and raise his head toward Lennok.
“…okay.”
With a bitter smile he slowly released the lever and immediately the box door closed making a loud noise.
Wow!!
At the same time a wave of thought disappeared on the spot like a lie.
“Ha ha ha…!!”
“If only I were a little late….”
While Mila and Wayan sat down panting Antares raised his head.
“I did it just in case but it exceeded my expectations. “I never thought I’d be checking it here.”
“What was coming out?”
“The last of the sinners who committed the taboo.”
Antares laughed.
“I knew it was there too. “And why the foresight suddenly worked at this point.”
“….”
“You really made something amazing Van.”
Antares who slowly released the lever and took a step back approached Lennok and said.
“But it is such a dangerous item. “You know right?”
“….”
“For those of us who look beyond the door we see something different from what we hoped for.”
Antares took out a small piece of paper from his pocket and began writing with his fingers.
The magic of writing on paper using hand gestures without a pen.
Antares handed Lennok a piece of paper with complicated serial number-like numbers written on it.
“I’m sorry for ruining the happy mood. But this may be necessary.”
“…Are these location coordinates?”
“Heavenly punishment given to those who break taboos.”
Antares smiled bitterly and nodded.
“The story of that end is there. “If you want it would be nice to visit at least once.”
“….”
Does this mean that it is worth informing Lennok even at the risk of something popping out of the temporary Ascension Gate?
Antares didn’t wait for an answer and immediately turned his back.
“heartbreak….”
“If you go at least have a beer….”
In the meantime Antares who was looking at the mercenaries who were trying to give them drinks with a smile patted their shoulders and turned around.
The mercenary leader disappeared without a trace as soon as he took a few steps toward the front door.
Evelyn who was frowning in displeasure shrugged her shoulders.
“This is why people with precognitive skills get so annoyed. “Even though he knows what he’s doing he’s always like that.”
“You knew what kind of person Antares was.”
“Well that’s right.”
Evelyn nodded slightly at Lennok’s words.
“At some point even if I didn’t understand it I understood its meaning.”
“….”
“You know that your word choice and tense expressions are a mess but you don’t even try to fix them. “There is a good reason for a superhuman to reach that level.”
Since Evelyn has reached a similar level to Antares does this mean that even though she cannot understand everything he says she is experiencing the essence along the same lines?
She seemed to take the meaning of Antares’s words in a somewhat different way than Lennok did.
“Well then it’s my turn next. “But after seeing what that guy did I’m curious too right?”
Evelyn rolling up her jumper sleeves looked at the lever and quenched her appetite.
Lennok tapped her shoulder and then turned to Dylan.
“I’m sorry but could you please wait a moment to pull the lever?”
“what?”
“I don’t have time. “Maybe something has come up that needs to be dealt with right away.”
“Oh uh….”
“I’ll be back soon.”
Dylan’s presence suddenly began to look strange perhaps because of the presence beyond the box that Antares had just opened.
He hadn’t said anything since earlier and was just leaning against the tent as if he was tired.
Although he hid his hand behind his back Lennok’s heart could be seen slowly melting into Dylan’s hand.
The sound of a faintly pulsating heart.
Excited…!!
An illusion in which the blue heart being held and Dylan’s presence strangely overlap.
If it’s too late it may be irreversible.
“…half?”
“Dylan this way.”
Lennok led Dylan straight to the basement lab of the mansion.
Click!
Weeeeeee!!
As lights came on everywhere and colorful research equipment appeared Dylan lifted his gaze with difficulty.
Dylan who was staring blankly at his surroundings made up a voice of admiration.
“That’s rude… Did you call me here to show you around?”
“It can’t be. Of course it’s a different matter.”
Lennok responded and pointed to the blue heart stuck to Dylan’s hand.
“Better not use that. “You know right?”
“….”
“The specific origin is a little different but it is a religious item.”
Lennok’s eyes looking at the heart glowed coldly.
“To be precise it is a sacrifice imbued with the power of the failed god they serve.”
