Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 671

The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 671
Random Box (6)
“…What the hell is going on?”
“No I didn’t even pull it but it suddenly started to open.”
Even though Evelyn took her hand off the lever as if it was never her intention the box did not close.
“Once I grabbed it and pulled something kept pouring out and it wouldn’t stop.”
Meanwhile incomprehensible green radiance pouring out from under her feet.
Others seemed to be slightly excited as they picked up the shiny object around them.
“Hey look at the magic contained here!!”
“But it doesn’t seem to be accumulating as much as I thought?”
“It seems like it’s disappearing beneath the ground.”
“When I heard it it felt like my feet were shaking…”
Meanwhile Mila tilted her head as she picked up something shiny from the floor.
“This is not jewelry.”
“It’s not a gem?”
“It has a bit too much magic power but it also seems a bit soft…”
Mila who had been wiggling her fingers with her brows furrowed widened her eyes as if she had noticed it too late.
“…seeds?”
At that moment the ground in the garden of Lennok’s mansion began to tremble greatly and tremble from below.
Grrrrrrrrr!!
All kinds of plants and vegetables are sprouting up all over the garden leaving random boxes and people at their feet.
Doo doo doo!!
Huge trees rose up here and there among the piles of vegetables that piled up like mountains.
A miracle in which trees with various fruits and vegetables gathered together to instantly surround Lennok’s mansion and turn it into a lush orchard.
“Abu bu bu!!”
“C-C-X… Vegetables are falling from the sky!!”

The rain of vegetables and fruits falling from the sky instantly filled the garden and built up a hill as high as a mountain.
Doo doo doo doo!!!
People running away from the waves of vegetables undulating everywhere.
Even the appearance of a whitish spirit rolling between piles of fruit.
“Avoid everyone. “I’m getting healthier!!”
“…Isn’t that a good thing?!”
[Become an organic spirit~]
Lennok looked at the scenery unfolding in the garden of the mansion in silence then turned his gaze towards Evelyn.
Evelyn slowly put down the lever and was shedding a cold sweat.
“…”
Should I call this lucky or rather unlucky?
It seemed that the person with the most bad luck among the group had been decided from the beginning.
* * *
“No. 23 Laurel leaf shape. “Remnants of magical power.”
“Number 41 purple avocado. “No magic power.”
“Number 59 withered tree roots. Strong magical power….”
A busy mansion garden with a chaotic atmosphere.
People with something sprawling above their heads are lining up in front of Lennok.
With a slightly dazed expression I put down the object I was holding and took it back when Lennok made the decision.
Lennok checked the roots of the tree that Wei An had pulled out and recorded them in the ledger.
“This root is not at the level of an artifact. “Can you take it to the organics sorting department?”
“yep.”
“I’m here too.”
“This fruit looks close to an elixir. “For now put it on the potion rack.”
Wei An throws the tree roots he brought into a mountain-like shed in the corner of the garden.
Jenny came back after him yawned and put the fruit on the shelf.
From old tree branches and roots to unripe plants that don’t have the shape of fruits or vegetables.
“…Huh?”
Wei An who had a lot of leaves hanging above his head tilted his head.
“I thought it was a big hit just a moment ago and I was happy… why?”
I definitely thought everyone would be happy until Evelyn pulled the lever and sparkles came pouring out.
When I came to my senses I found myself struggling to organize and sort the mountain of items piled up all over the garden.
These are gardens of vegetables and plants all of which are imbued with unknown magic.
“It is true that something truly extraordinary has happened Wei An.”
Felix answered in a shaky voice and passed by him.
“Because most of the crops here now are rare varieties that have not been found in existing ecosystems.”
“uh….”

“It’s just that it wasn’t the kind of win-win we thought.”
A flower of an unknown variety was also blooming on the beak of a bird-headed giant carrying a head-sized fruit.
Not only that but the sight of unknown flowers and plants growing on the shoulders and heads of people working throughout the garden.
What Evelyn Marcia took out of the random box was not gold or silver treasures or luxurious artifacts.
Seeds of plants and vegetables that all have very strong growth potential.
As soon as it poured out into the garden it began to germinate everywhere and began to grow bearing fruit and taking root in various places.
Lennok’s mansion suddenly turned into a dense forest.
“….”
Evelyn who looked triumphant at first was unable to raise her head properly and was pulling out the roots of plants in the garden.
“How strong is the obsession with alternative vegetarianism…”
“Your will will be as strong as your skills.”
“Were you planning on making us all vegan? I’m so scared.”
“Oh no.”
Evelyn who received indescribable stares from others desperately denied it.
“I think it would be nice for other people to know the charms of vegetarianism but… I don’t wish for such a wish at a time like this!”
Even when Evelin raised her voice in rare cases of protest there was no one who obediently believed her words.
They just keep their distance with a slightly different kind of wary gaze than before.
Lennok looked at the people bickering with each other then smiled and put down the ledger he was holding.
“I don’t know what Evelyn’s true wish is but it’s probably not a lie.”
“You’re not lying?”
[Do you still say that after looking at this scene?]
The simple Ascension Gate prepared by Lennok tends to convey the user’s wishes with a slight twist.
In that case the scenery of the mansion that is now in shambles must also be part of Evelyn’s wish.
Does this mean that it is not because the desire for vegetarianism which Eveline Marcia hoped for when she pulled the lever is stronger and bigger than anyone else in the room?
But Lennok looked back at Evelyn who looked slightly downcast and nodded.
“At first I thought Evelyn was too lucky but… this went beyond what can be explained based on luck.”
Lennok said pulling out the tree roots that were still sprouting and rising from under his feet.
“In response to Evelyn’s inclinations and temperament a large number of objects were drawn out before her wishes.”
“I didn’t know that being vegetarian was such a strong trait.”
At Jenny’s hesitant answer Felix turned his gaze towards Evelyn as if he remembered something.
“Eveline is maintaining a vegetarian diet a kind of precept that you must follow?”
“….”
“If it bothers you you don’t have to answer.”
Although he said it was a precept Felix was asking whether Evelyn’s vegetarianism was a kind of Geass or prohibition.
If it is a Geass or Forbidden Emperor that has been inflicted on a level 8 extreme ability it will be enough to give priority to Evelyn’s wish and react first in the random box.
However Evelyn quietly shook her head with an expression of uncertainty.
“…no. It’s just personal preference. “How can field agents survive if they make that a condition of their eating habits?”
“That’s true too….”
Evelyn is a former agent and a sniper who specializes in independent action.
Of course supplies including food will often be procured locally during operations.
It would be quite inefficient for her to impose Geass on her eating habits and keep the conditions.
Lennok looked at the people in distress and then silently cast his gaze towards Evelyn.
Lennok already had some idea of why this type of result was selected from the random box.
“….”
Regardless of his wishes Dylan pulled out the heart of the Church from beyond the Ascension Gate.
That’s because Dylan’s origins had a strong connection to Ascension Gate.
What if this large quantity of seeds Evelyn took out had nothing to do with her wish?
Isn’t that also because on the contrary it is related to Evelyn’s origin birth or lineage?
‘The personal information recorded in the agent database was that he was from the Eastern Foreign Tribe… It would be a good idea to investigate further.’
Is there something in Evelyn’s lineage that is strongly connected to the seeds or plants of the old world?
Maybe her personal preference for vegetarianism also had something to do with it.
However Lennok did not bother to tell Evelyn about that fact instead of giving her advice right away.
Like you did with Dylan it would be best to talk about personal origins or secrets when the two of you are alone.
“half. “What do you plan to do with that thing now?”
Felix came up from behind Lennok who was lost in thought and asked as he placed his hand on Lennok’s shoulder.
“I vaguely explained it to others but that is not something that can be explained using conventional techniques. yes?”
Felix quietly lowered his voice and muttered quietly.
“For an artifact that extracts the desired object its principles and functions are so distorted that it makes no sense.”
“….”
“It’s hard to guess the source of most of the stolen goods… What on earth did you see when you came back from Machine City?”
In that short period of time did he sense that something was unusual about the item and guess that it might not be from this world?
Perhaps Felix had already realized that this object was related to the Ascension Gate.
But even though I knew that I didn’t bother to say those words out loud right now probably out of consideration and concern for Lennok.
A decision that Felix can make because he has excellent insight and mature experience.
“No you don’t have to answer. Just promise me that you will dispose of it after the party is over.”
Felix nodded making clear eye contact with Lennok.
“If by any chance the existence of this object leaks out… the city government will try to get their hands on it no matter what happens.”
Rather than being suspicious of Lennok are you worried about the repercussions if the city council finds out about the existence of this item?
It’s not wrong.
If Lennok found out that he had obtained the Ascension Gate either the Central Council or Ex Machina would definitely react violently.
“I guess you don’t have to worry about that.”
Lennok tipped his drink and laughed lightly.
“Thanks to Evelyn I think I’ve achieved the entire purpose of making that object today.”
“…What does that mean?”
“To put it simply…”
Lennok tapped the ledger he had placed on the table and nodded.
“This means that enough necessary data has been collected.”
Gifting items to acquaintances using a simple Ascension Gate was not simply a matter of good will.
The real purpose Lennoc was hoping for was in this situation itself which was to extract data from the simple Ascension Gate.
‘Kaise said that we had to use the simple ascension gate to secure the dragon’s heart.’
Lennok was lost in thought as he watched the people moving around busily.
‘But although I can make a simple ascension gate I don’t know its principles or operation method. then….’
There was no choice but to select as many samples as possible study the regularities and through that find out how to operate the simple Ascension Gate.
The reason he brought people together to use the gate every once in a while was an act of solicitation to make his colleagues feel attracted to the abilities of Seungcheonmun.
To put it in perspective it is a service equivalent to a free one-time drawing ticket.
Lennok with the help of others built up a sample of how the Ascension Gate worked.
Through him he planned to study how to use the door to reach the other side of the Old World Void.
As the people gathered here have different origins hierarchical abilities and races it is possible for them to function as various variables in the research process.
Which magical power reacts more quickly to the operation of the Ascension Gate and which level of ability is more suitable.
What kind of wish do you have to have to extract what kind of stolen goods from beyond the door?
Today this place was a testing ground for extracting such data directly from practice.
“I was told that I was strangely lax with my class…”
“It was all arranged to exploit us.”
“After I’m done with this I’ll definitely buy you a drink again.”
The appearance of people grumbling but calmly following Lennok’s words.
While talking about identity hierarchy ability and origin we started classifying the plants again.
Lennok looked at them with satisfaction while holding a glass of wine behind them.
“I like it very much. “It’s a very desirable scenery for a researcher.”
[Actually I did this because I was too lazy to collect samples on my own.]
While I was grabbing the tail of the grunting spirit in my arms Wei An holding an armful of purple vegetables waddled over.”
“Where can I put half this branch?”
“egg plant?”
“Uh oh. “I really hate these vegetables but it seems like they have a lot of magic inside don’t you think?”
After hearing those words Lennok looked closely at the vegetables Wei An had gathered.
Certainly the vegetables he picked were foods that were exceptionally concentrated in magic power compared to other crops.
Perhaps the shape of the branch itself is suitable for containing magical power.
“okay. “It just so happened to be good.”
Lennok grabbed Wei An’s shoulder who was reluctant to even touch the branch and made him sit in his place.
“I’ll leave the rest of the classification and recording work to you. “I will pay you generously.”
“…what what?”
“There are a lot of things that need to be done.”
We need to slowly disassemble the random box to remove any traces and check the condition of Dylan who is unconscious.
Although others are helping clean up Lennok will have to finish cleaning up after himself.
There is a lot more to do besides sorting and recording crops right away.
However Wei An seemed embarrassed by Lennok’s words and stuttered.
“Eh… If that’s the case ask people smarter than me…”
“Your magic sensitivity is the best among all the people gathered here. “You would have told me?”
“….”
“In this type of classification your judgment is the most accurate. “It’s nothing to compare to other people.”
Wei An’s magic sensitivity is a tremendous talent comparable to that of Lennok.
Although other aptitudes including magic manipulation and recovery capacity may not match it.
The sense of feeling magical power and tuning in to it is somewhat close to Lennok’s sensitivity.
There is no need to say how powerful and rare a talent it is.
That’s why Lennok had suggested several growth methods that could maximize Wei An’s magic sensitivity.
Wei An took that advice and grew rapidly becoming a top-ranking person within the company.
However when Wei An actually heard Lennok’s words his expression was slightly clouded.
“Oh that’s right… I’m not sure these days.”
“What do you mean?”
Wei An glanced at Lennok’s gaze and sighed before answering.
“Responsiveness is all about recognizing magical power. “I guess I have no idea how to go further than that.”
“….”
“I think we need something more than this to complete the hierarchy….”
Does this mean that although I have grown in the direction of utilizing my talent for magic sensitivity I feel like I am blocked by a wall with level 7 in front of me?
While Lennok was lost in thought for a moment Suryun who was walking next to him carrying a handful of leaves asked.
“Now that I think about it wouldn’t half as much be an allocation that would have been enough to have disciples a long time ago?”
“…student?”
“Even though he is quite young his skills are already at an unrivaled level.”
Su-ryeon said as if there was nothing strange.
“I actually think it’s strange that we’ve never considered it until now.”
“Oh I’ve thought about it sometimes too.”
Jenny added quietly from the side.
“I thought you were secretly raising a few people but I guess that wasn’t the case?”
“…You guys know how to raise students like I handle any equipment.”
Lennok responded as if it were absurd.
“I have no intention of secretly acting as a teacher. But that’s right. In the first place…”
Since I worked as an assistant professor at a university and taught undergraduate students I never thought about it.
It is not strange for a wizard of Lennok’s level of hierarchy to take on disciples.
Apart from simply transmitting magic and continuing the system recruiting excellent students also makes the wizard’s research considerably easier.
Of course raising disciples in this world with a predetermined ending may itself be meaningless.
However Lennok thought that even if there was no time there was meaning in the act of promising the future.
“Hmm.”
“…?”
People slowly approached Lennok’s side removing the leaves that grew on their heads and adjusting their clothes.
Mila said gently placing a crumpled bill in Lennok’s hand.
“I’m not smart at all but my senses have been very good since I was young.”
“what?”
“I’m sure you can do well if you learn magic.”
“….”
While Lennok was silent unable to understand those unexpected words Belver who was hugging a large slime cleared his throat.
“Hmm the profit and loss calculation and asset management skills trained as a stock investor have nothing to do with a wizard’s aptitude….”
[He is talking nonsense even though he is checking the temperature at the bottom of the Laver River.]
Manson immediately joined in laughing at Belver.
[As a multi-body fitter I can use multiple bodies to study various types of magic…]
The appearance of people subtly showing off their magic aptitude as if Lennok were selecting students right here and now.
Even Felix and Evelyn Jenny are looking at this with interest.
A whitish spirit flew above the heads of those people whispering an unknown voice.
[Stand in a line you mindless organisms~]
[If you praise the fox I will secretly send you to the front of the line~]
“….”
Only then did Lennok realize what was happening and stood up with a small sigh.
It seemed like it would take some time to scold the spirit for wanting to have the youngest child instead of a disciple.
“Be a disciple….”
The moment when Lennok was lost in thought and inadvertently glanced at his surroundings.
The others straightened their backs and began to look at Lennok.
