    The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 674

    Central Senate (2)

    “…A messenger from the Senate?”

    City government central council senate.

    It is a part of the city council which consists of two houses and is the highest authority standing at the top of the Balkan megalopolis.

    There is no place in the huge city that their intentions do not pass through but on the contrary they are bystanders who do not hastily intervene anywhere.

    Are you saying that those who despite all the incidents had never tried to contact Lennok directly were now trying to deliver a message?

    Lennok who was looking at the letter that Armand politely presented to him laughed.

    “I thought they were going to try to make contact but I didn’t think they would send a message like this.”

    “….”

    “Is this how the Central Council usually handles things?”

    “Originally I would send an official letter to schedule an appointment or ask for acceptance…”

    Armand responded with a nervous look.

    “It was announced early in the morning today so no one heard the news. “We are not even allowed to go through a broker.”

    “so?”

    “In addition as far as special powers that can shake up the order of the city…”

    After saying that Armand concluded his sentence while looking at Lennok’s eyes.

    “Because it is an unwritten rule not to follow customs.”

    “….”

    Are you saying that there is no need to take official measures against superhumans like Lennok who have surpassed their limits?

    Rather if he had tried to match Lennok’s personality of leading a completely quiet life he might have thought this method was right.

    “Do you know the content of the message?”

    “Just briefly about the purpose… I don’t know the specifics.”

    Lennok nodded.

    “Open it.”

    “…All right.”

    Armand struggling to maintain his balance slowly opened the letter and skimmed through its contents.

    “It has a seal stamped on it certifying that it is a message from the Senate at the time and place. As is customary this letter also allows you to request transportation to your appointment.”

    “Calling transportation?”

    “If you want you can call me right now. However considering Ban’s answer all equipment and attendants were not accompanied so it took a while…”

    “good.”

    As soon as Lennok stood up a chair made of tree roots disappeared down the yard.

    Lennok standing with his cane in front of the fallen young man nodded.

    “I think I almost know why you called me. “Call me.”

    There was no way Lennok didn’t know that he was handling most of his work through Jenny.

    The reason why I took a risk and tried to send a message directly to Lennok as soon as I specified the address.

    Wouldn’t that have something to do with the traces Lennok left behind in the machine city of Machina?

    I didn’t really like the way things were done but I needed to hear what he had to say.

    Armand lowered his head unable to hide his relief.

    “Thank you for accepting the invitation.”

    “How long will it take?”

    “It will depart from the transfer area in Area 17 and arrive in about 10 minutes.”

    Lennok laughed recalling a map of the Balkans in his head.

    “Even though it’s almost from the other side of the city it only takes 10 minutes… Well that’s good.”

    Lennok said and took a quick step forward.

    “Follow me. “I plan to clean the mansion during my spare time.”

    “…Can I help you?”

    Armand’s answer was quite perceptive but Lennok nodded as if he was asking something.

    “An alter-ego type of superpower. “It also belongs to the axis with a fairly high reproducibility rate.”

    “Thank you.”

    “It just looked like it was suitable for housework including cleaning.”

    “….”

    Armand who was at a loss for words calmly followed Lennok into the mansion.

    The wizard’s mansion. It was also a magic cave that annihilated all the intruders in less than 5 minutes.

    Armand who walked into the hallway with a nervous expression froze in place after seeing the turbulent hallway scene.

    Kurrrrr…!!!

    The entire mansion is pulsating as if it is alive with the direction of the hallways and the structure of the ceiling flipping and rotating.

    A strange phenomenon that pushes and melts foreign substances that are not originally Lennok’s and slowly discharges the by-products to the outside.

    “I’ll set up targeting for you. “It will be okay to move now.”

    Lennok lightly tapped Armand on the shoulder and walked forward.

    Armand asked unable to move quickly and breaking into a cold sweat.

    “What the hell is this… are you giving autonomy to the entire mansion?”

    “If you think about it it’s closer to taking the biological mechanism of a specific organism and incorporating it.”

    Lennok answered casually.

    “If we had to divide it into lines it was originally a method closer to witchcraft. “It is a method that patterns the stomach’s motor performance data and combines it with magical power.”

    “How on earth is that possible?…”

    Armand is a person with supernatural powers but as he works as an aide he has extensive knowledge of various techniques.

    However even he had never heard of a magic that could turn an entire mansion into a living creature’s camouflage.

    Was the survey result that it was not easy to guess the true magic system of Fast Lightning not false?

    ‘The data itself was not the result I expected but….’

    Creation magic [Aramathos’ camouflage].

    A range magic implemented by incorporating the camouflage ecology of a creature called Aramatos into the mansion environment.

    However Aramatos is not a living being that originally exists in this world but is one of the knowledge from the old world that was gleaned from beyond the Gate of Ascension.

    It was realized by combining research data on the gastrointestinal ecosystem of a demonic beast that lives in a swamp and can even digest steel through creation magic.

    When I first researched it I thought it was useless knowledge but when combined with creation magic there was surprisingly a lot of room for application in directions different from existing magic.

    Armand who was hesitant slowly divided his body into several clones and began to clean the mansion.

    More than five clones are busy coming and going cleaning up various parts of the mansion and removing corpses.

    At that moment the body of the demi-human who died first was being dragged out by the hands of the fourth Armand.

    “Who is this sub-race?”

    Lennok asked.

    “It was strangely unknown but on the contrary its organizational skills were quite sophisticated. “It’s as if he was born with this kind of stealth ability.”

    “….”

    “I guess it has something to do with the fact that you cut off their heads in one go.”

    “…To be exact they are not a sub-race.”

    Armand 4 answered with a small sigh.

    “It is said that they are a minority people who live in hiding near remote cities and grow by sharing the spirit of the tribe. “We do not use language at all unless we communicate with outsiders.”

    “They are a minority group.”

    “Because they share a common spirit they are quiet born in underground rocks familiar with the shadows and good at hiding. “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also troubled by the fact that they are being mobilized for organized theft crimes across the continent.”

    “I see….”

    “To completely neutralize them you have to eventually remove their heads and since it affects nearby tribes we have to deal with them at the same time.”

    Armand 2 who was wiping the floor with a rolling pin spoke instead of Armand 4 who had dragged the body into the garden.

    “However in recent years there has been a strong tendency to move based on the employee so we plan to conduct a separate investigation in this case.”

    Only then did Lennok understand the situation and nodded.

    Minorities who share a common spirit as a tribe.

    Could it be that they said so little even as they were dying because they made a living by systematically stealing?

    However if you have to share your mind even when you don’t want to you are more vulnerable to attacks on your mental system.

    I had an idea when the creation magic Psycho Shocker which I had thrown out of curiosity worked but it became clear after listening to Armand’s words.

    “It’s an innate ability that is born to each tribe… Is it a different type from the blood-related ability?”

    As Lennok it was his first time seeing this level of systematic innate ability so it was a shame that the situation turned out like this.

    If the situations had not overlapped we would have been able to investigate how their mental sharing works.

    After meeting Aoshu Spero a level 8 psychometrician Lennok felt the need to study the mental system in detail.

    Woooo!!

    Meanwhile the sky over the mansion suddenly darkened.

    The moment Lennok inadvertently raised his gaze Armand 1 confirmed the presence and nodded.

    “It looks like the transport has arrived. I will go and clean up the mansion a bit more with my attendants. Would you like to board first?”

    * * *

    Buuuuung!!

    A pitch-black airship that does not let even a single ray of light escape.

    Sitting inside the airship is Lennok leaning on a chair with his eyes closed and Balkan Defense Force soldiers watching him with a very nervous expression.

    “You’ve waited a long time.”

    Meanwhile Armand who had finished cleaning up quickly got on the airship.

    “We recovered all the bodies scattered around the mansion and cleaned up the traces. but….”

    “but?”

    “We did not do anything to the basement lab and second-floor living space because it was difficult to enter.”

    “….”

    The reason they broke into Lennok’s mansion in the first place was because of the side effects of digging into the mass technique in the lab.

    If it weren’t for the shock that exploded as the ascendant’s thoughts sparked a backlash they would not have been allowed to cross the barrier and enter the mansion.

    Now that the research was finished it was natural that it would be impossible to enter other areas of the mansion for cleaning.

    Rather should we trust Armand’s attitude in honestly revealing and reporting the facts?

    Armand spoke with a much cleaner face as if he had washed his face while cleaning and organizing the mansion.

    “We explained to nearby residents that it was a joint National Guard training exercise so if there is a need to mention the incident in the future please consider it.”

    “I understand.”

    “Then let’s move right away. “He will be waiting for you in the Senate of the Central Council.”

    The sleek streamlined fuselage floats in place without causing any wind or shock.

    The sight of an airship soaring across the sky of a huge city and leisurely passing over the buildings.

    This is a scenery rarely seen in the Balkans.

    But what catches Lennok’s eyes first is the fact that airships similar to the one he boarded are floating all over the sky.

    Air transportation located in a large city where flying is difficult due to the occasional magnetic storm that blows from an undeveloped area.

    And Lennok knew where the cause and effect was.

    “It looks like the anti-gravity engine has been fully commercialized.”

    “Ah you haven’t heard the news yet.”

    Armand explained wiping the blood from the nape of his neck with a handkerchief.

    “Relevant laws and institutionalization for airships equipped with anti-gravity engines were completely completed a week ago. “A company that has received a business license is releasing prototypes so you will be able to see many of these airships soon.”

    “….”

    Is this a new means of transportation being created in a congested megacity?

    Of course since it was Lennok himself who took the lead and made it a success I thought it would happen like this someday.

    It was a new experience to see the airship swimming around the city.

    Armand who must have noticed that Lennok was interested in the anti-gravity engine cleared his throat and added an explanation.

    “Evan Bylan the designer of the anti-gravity engine is truly a genius. “I think you’ve probably heard the name before.”

    A very different attitude from the first time when he seemed somewhat stiff. Did you become speechless after leaving the tense battle scene?

    Maybe this is Armand’s original personality.

    “He has only appeared in person at an official event once but he has such a unique atmosphere that the video of his presentation at the expo is still talked about. “There are many researchers who try to imitate not only the Bylan proof method of the paper presented for the first time but also the presentation method at the investment briefing session.”

    “….”

    As Lennoc didn’t seem to like it that much regardless of whether he reacted or not Armand continued to talk about what he wanted to say.

    Rather the soldiers who were frozen on both sides of Lennok were becoming restless at Armand’s words.

    “However Professor Bylan himself has very little outside activity and the dean of Labatenon University completely ignores him so it is unfortunate that we are hardly able to contact him here either. If he just contacts me there are companies and institutions lined up that will readily decide to invest.”

    Judging from what he said it seems like he was personally very interested in this field.

    “As a public official I sometimes have the opportunity to attend similar business investment briefing sessions and each time there are so many researchers who try to follow Professor Bylon so I must say that I am a bit annoyed now….”

    “Ah Assistant Director Armand.”

    “hmm? “What’s going on?”

    The soldier who urgently stopped Armand said in a trembling voice.

    “Wouldn’t it be better to go a little quietly? It’s fast.”

    As it happens Lennoc feels uncomfortable with Armand’s chatter and is afraid because he doesn’t know how he will react.

    This is probably because they also vaguely heard about what Lennok did in Machina in Van’s name.

    However Armand instead licked his lips as if he was disappointed at the soldier’s dissuasion.

    “Hmm… But now the really interesting story begins.”

    “….”

    No now that I see it he might just be a guy who likes to chat.

    Lennok chuckled and nodded.

    “Go ahead.”

    In response the soldier who had been trying to dissuade Armand quieted his mouth and Armand started talking more excitedly.

    “Well there are rumors that Professor Bylon is not just one person but is a think tank made up of several teams.”

    “…what?”

    “Everyone is using Evan Bylan’s name but in fact the research is the product of collective intelligence not just one person.”

    Armand spoke excitedly without waiting for Lennok’s reaction.

    “Professor Bylon was noticed by Distinguished Professor Aris Richelen and is now working in the Department of Elemental Sciences but surprisingly he has not shown much research while working as an assistant professor. “In fact it is said that he was more likely to miss lectures or get caught up in strange incidents.”

    “….”

    Have you been caught up in a lot of strange incidents in college?

    In fact we even experienced a terrorist attack against the Department of Elemental Science so it was not an ordinary incident.

    “Furthermore there are rumors that Professor Bylan’s identity was quite unclear before receiving the guarantee from Professor Richellin… and it is even said that he has not yet received his doctorate. I could get my hands on it whenever I wanted. Despite his outstanding intelligence he is a person with many mysteries in many ways.”

    “….”

    Lennok who had been silent looked away and muttered.

    “It looks like you did a lot of research.”

    “In fact Professor Bylon is one of the strongest candidates for the Central Council’s technical advisory committee.”

    Armand lowered his voice and whispered.

    “As a congressional aide like myself I have also worked on Professor Bylan’s recruitment at least once so I have heard a lot of information.”

    “Is that so?”

    “Have you ever met Professor Bylan?”

    Lennok shook his head at Armand’s words.

    “If what you said is true he would be someone who doesn’t go out much in the first place. Regardless of matters of interest I think he is a very cautious and thoughtful person.”

    “Well it seems like you also think highly of Professor Bylon.”

    [….]

    He felt the spirit’s subtle gaze in his arms but Lennok tried to pretend not to notice.

    Meanwhile Armand who cleared his throat and raised his magic power quietly blocked out the noise around him.

    “I’m only telling this to you in secret but….”

    Armand quietly turned his gaze to the soldiers and muttered.

    “In fact the Central Council has already secured a member of the think tank Evan Bylan.”
