    The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 676

    Central Assembly Senate (4)

    “It’s a magic tower….”

    Lennok muttered quietly following the Chairman’s words while biting down on a cigarette.

    Although I thought the theme of wizards would be mentioned when the Central Council called Lennok.

    I certainly didn’t expect that they would immediately bring up the story about the creation of the Magic Tower.

    “That’s a little surprising.”

    Lennok asked tilting his head slightly.

    “I thought the city council had a slightly different view on wizards.”

    “….”

    Even in a city as powerful and vast as Balkan a magic tower has never existed.

    This was not because of the city council’s ability or the environment of a large city but simply because the central council’s policy was that way.

    “Rather than recruiting. Education over employment. “Wasn’t the existence of the Labatenon College of Magic the will of the city council?”

    “Even now that thought remains the same.”

    The Chairman said.

    “But all decisions must be guided by value judgments. “If there is value in overturning existing policies the Central Council does not reject the trend.”

    “New values?”

    Lennok laughed.

    “I didn’t know the Senate was still looking for that. “I thought your wish was to hold on to a failed project and burn the script.”

    “….”

    The atmosphere in the meeting room turned cold as Lennok openly mentioned the project.

    But Lennok was convinced that it would be strange not to mention the project at this point.

    The space-time bottleneck of Kaise was solved at the request of the Senate in a closed area.

    There was no way the Senate wouldn’t have known that Lennok had witnessed some of Kaise’s past in the end.

    The secret of the Black Consumer Project and its origins.

    It is rather awkward to understand that fact to some extent but not ask the Senate about it.

    At this point the fact that Lennok asked them such a thoughtless question was in itself an opportunity to allay their doubts.

    “…Time in the world just continues to flow whether we want it to or not.”

    The Chairman said.

    “Same. “Even if we try to calculate and filter the value of everything variables like you are bound to pop up one day.”

    “….”

    “The reason this city has been able to survive and grow over decades is because it has actively tried to embrace variables like you.”

    Confirmation that it is valuable enough to Lennok to overturn the existing policy and suggest the creation of a magic tower.

    Instead of responding Lennok quietly tapped the cane he was holding.

    The flame of the tobacco in my mouth grew stronger and quickly burned the remaining filler and disappeared.

    Tatak…!!

    A wisp of smoke rises overhead and blows through the conference building.

    Some of the lawmakers watching from the throne were interested in the smell of smoke but Lennok ignored them.

    The Chairman who was looking at the scene with an expressionless face only showed interest in Lennok’s staff.

    “You still use a cane. “Isn’t the injury sustained in the battle with Onion healed?”

    “….”

    “It’s something made by modifying a life support device right? As a wizard you have unique tastes. “There would be no reason to reveal it.”

    “I just carry it around because I need it. “It means nothing more than that.”

    After hearing Lennok’s words the Chairman looked at him quietly and said.

    “Onion was a great man.”

    “….”

    “He was a trustworthy ally a skilled commander a fair judge and a precious friend.”

    With those words the atmosphere in the conference building felt deeply subdued.

    The senators gathered here especially the older ones probably knew Madrich Onion in his prime.

    That’s how well he knows what an outstanding military commander and excellent colleague he was.

    It must not have been just a show-off to hold a funeral directly at the Central Council to commemorate his death.

    “Even though we had different opinions in the end I respected their will and determination. “Even the strength to never lose faith in oneself until the end.”

    “What do you want to say?”

    “I just wanted to say that the military commander who fell by your hands is someone who deserves someone’s condolences.”

    The Senate President tilted his head.

    “And you are the first person to receive this offer since Onion went into hiding.”

    “….”

    Level 8 military spiritualist Madrich Onion.

    As the former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the executioner of Daejeon how great was his contribution to the great city at one time.

    It makes you realize how difficult an opponent he was and how the aftermath still affects him.

    However even as the Chairman said that he did not indulge in his sentiments for long.

    Instead he just raised his hollow eyes and turned his gaze back to Lennok.

    “Okay… the story has turned around a bit. “The important thing is ultimately what you did in Machina with your unfulfilled body.”

    “….”

    “No matter how outstanding his qualities may be it is still difficult to believe that he committed such a thing with a body that had to rely on a life support machine… but the sight of him standing like this now is proof of that.”

    the chairman asked.

    “That may be possible because you have achieved something worthy of your talents. Therefore I will ask.”

    “….”

    “Have you found a new path beyond the hierarchy you have established?”

    The conference building was immersed in silence with heavy questions being asked.

    From the looks of it other members except the chairman do not seem to have any intention of intervening in this Q&A.

    Just quietly waiting for Lennok’s answer without any reaction or sign.

    But Lennok now knew that this question itself was a result of his respect for him.

    Looking at Lennok’s actions so far and the results he has accumulated against enemies he must have guessed this already.

    Why not call him here and ask him directly and get confirmation?

    The fact that this procedure which seems cumbersome at first glance is due to respect and treatment of Lennok as an equal.

    This situation is quite contrary to the attitude that has been taken until now which has been clear knowledge of Ban’s existence and power but which has blatantly ignored it.

    And Lennok knew full well where this Senate reaction was coming from.

    Click.

    Lennok who was perched on a nearby railing and using his cane once more raised his head.

    “You want to know if I made a deal with Ex Machina.”

    “….”

    Lennok said to the chairman who did not respond.

    “That’s why he contacted me as soon as he found out I was back and tried to meet me secretly through the existing contact method.”

    Why is the Senate of the Central Assembly now summoning Lennok directly to ask questions?

    That may be because they also captured the circumstances of Lennok’s contact with Ex Machina in the Machine City.

    A wizard who has reached level 8. A high-ranking wizard who survived in the shadows shedding countless amounts of blood.

    I don’t want to keep such a monster in check but I also can’t watch it fall to Machina.

    The point at which the meaning has become so great that it is no wonder that the environment and situation surrounding Lennok change dramatically depending on how you move.

    That is why the Senate also tried to meet him in person before it was too late.

    “Isn’t the reason you brought up the story about the Magic Tower because you have finally come to terms with what happened with Machina?”

    “I think I’m misunderstanding something.”

    The chairman slowly folded his hands and placed them on the table.

    A heavy gaze fell on Lennok’s head.

    “The Central Council has no intention of persuading you. “I know very well how difficult it is to turn back the resolve of a wizard like you.”

    “….”

    “Contrary to rumors you are far from being vicious or crazy. But still the fact that this is a major that was achieved as a result of all the fears about fastness…”

    The Chairman’s eyes shining brightly as he looked at Lennok.

    “That in itself is extremely dangerous. “More than just being crazy about blood.”

    Even though we already know that not all the rumors about fastness are true does this mean that we think that Lennok is even more dangerous?

    An insight that points out the essence of something with a different perspective and tone from others.

    “We just make suggestions.”

    The Chairman said.

    “If you wish the Central Council will fully support you so that you can fully demonstrate your talents and qualifications. A magic tower for just one person. “It will also be the only magic tower in the huge city of Balkan.”

    “….”

    “Once you are officially approved as a magic tower and start forming a school the territory of extraterritorial jurisdiction is complete. You can be free from responsibility and punishment for all the crimes you have committed so far. “Only fellow wizards can judge and define you.”

    The reason I haven’t built a magic tower until now is because it wasn’t worth it.

    However the chairman was saying that he could overturn the previous policy and use force for just one person Lennok.

    All I could do was literally throw out a proposal and wait for Lennok’s answer.

    In the process he seemed to have no problem whether Lennoch chose Machina or the Balkans.

    “The choice is yours.”

    “no.”

    Lennok laughed.

    “It may sound grand but in the end it seems like you guys want me to join hands with either Vulcan or Machina.”

    “….”

    A conference building immersed in silence. For a moment I feel the gaze of the lawmakers whose faces I cannot see becoming stronger.

    Lennok tilted his head vividly feeling the atmosphere gradually becoming sharper.

    “I guess that’s because my actions and intentions fall into the category of being able to be controlled and calculated to some extent no matter which city government takes the hand right?”

    Lennok tapped his cane while looking at the expressionless face of the chairman.

    “I will do whatever I want. If I were to build a magic tower even that would be entirely based on my judgment and decision. Above all…”

    Lennok looked around and opened his mouth with a cold smile.

    “It’s much later than the Senate’s proposal. “What makes you any better than those old guys in the back room?”

    It’s not that they are not interested in Lennok or are trying to stay away from him.

    However they do not like the fact that a powerful variable called Lennok is now beyond their calculations and control.

    Therefore he was using the Ex Machina deal as an excuse to force Lennok to choose between the two cities.

    A level 8 wizard.

    However no matter how powerful a power is it becomes easier to consider if it is wielded under the laws and order of the city.

    At the very least the amount of times Lennok will roam around cities and continents and cause chaos like he does now will be greatly reduced.

    “I want to do whatever I want….”

    The Chairman who had been silently looking down at Lennok slowly raised his head.

    “That’s an answer that wasn’t what I expected.”

    At that moment a very heavy magical power began pouring down like a wave behind the Chairman.

    Kugugugu…!!

    A powerful pressure that seemed to weigh down the entire space of the conference building with a simple expression of will.

    We are not manipulating gravity or a specific mass.

    An art that amplifies non-existent pressure by filling the density of space with magical power alone.

    It was tantamount to revealing that the magical power possessed by the Chairman was greater than that of any other superhuman here.

    Doo doo doo…!!

    The conference building created through spatial parallel design shakes just by the sheer will to fill the space with magical energy.

    “chairman. “What are you doing now?”

    Only then did some of the silent lawmakers begin to express their discomfort toward the chairman.

    “They obviously decided to only mention the investment proposal for the Magic Tower.”

    “It is a loss to use force against a magician who is as fast as lightning. “I think it would be best to restrain yourself.”

    All of those gathered here are managers who lead and govern a megacity in their respective fields.

    That’s why rather than being intimidated by the chairman’s ridiculous magic power he reveals his discomfort without hesitation.

    As Lennok looked at the members he lightly grabbed the chairman’s magic pouring down in the air.

    A contradiction in which magical power which should be weightless flows down like sand with a clear texture and heaviness.

    However Lennok nodded wiping away the Chairman’s magic with his bare hands.

    “I see.”

    Paaaa…!!

    The moment when the magician’s intention that rose from Lennok’s fingertips dug into the chairman’s magic and turned it upside down.

    The chairman’s sand magic which had been flowing down soared upwards and onto the ceiling of the conference building.

    Burbububbang!!

    “Magic reversal….”

    “You said you changed your temperament?”

    Lennok ignoring the surprised voices of the lawmakers everywhere smiled coldly and tapped his cane.

    At the same time a boiling torrent of magical power burst out from under Lennok’s feet.

    “I don’t mind if it ends here.”

    Coo coo coo coo!!!

    The magical power of the two people collided cruelly from above and below crumbling and sending out sparks in all directions.

    An eerie noise that creaks in space and a movement that seems to distort the landscape slightly.

    The moment when the fiercely heated air in the conference building could not overcome its limits and surged as if it were about to explode.

    “Now let’s stop there.”

    The brilliant brilliance of platinum burst out between the two.

    Paaaa!!

    The platinum light rotating counterclockwise gently penetrated between the magic power of the chairman and Lennok.

    The sight of a clock distorting through the conference building in an instant from beyond the invisible void.

    Meanwhile a young man wearing a fedora walked out and smiled.

    His impression is so strange that I can’t pinpoint any features other than his slim physique and the fact that he is a young man.

    “What are these people who know everything doing?”

    “…Silford.”

    Lennok who immediately recognized the other person chuckled.

    “What’s going on here in the Senate?”

    Area 25 is designated as a closed area. The last moment I found Kaise’s research log.

    At that time the magician Silford came to say hello and say that he had been selected as the new representative of the Senate.

    Even now the brilliance of platinum swirling beneath his feet is proof that he is a noble from the central city.

    Silford brightened the mood by applauding lightly and then turned his gaze towards the chairman with a smile.

    “chairman. You have to do it in moderation. “Didn’t you know that even if you hit it it won’t break?”

    Silford shrugged.

    The light tone and actions as if the weight had completely disappeared still remain.

    The atmosphere is completely opposite to that of the chairman who seems to be sinking deeply right before his eyes.

    “He is a person who will not be swayed by any amount of persuasion. “Why are you doing this when you can resolve it amicably?”

    “….”

    Silford let out a small sigh at the Chairman’s lack of response.

    He snapped his fingers once more and the platinum glow rising from beneath his feet began to transform into a crack in space once again.

    “Knowing that I have brought a noble person who can mediate this situation.”

    From the other side of the crack in space someone wearing old overshoes quietly walked out.

    A bronze-colored woman wearing a thick hood and brush with a large prayer beads and various accessories hanging around her neck.

    A considerable amount of time can be felt in that smiling face with closed eyes.

    “…That woman.”

    “You came in person?”

    The lawmakers who had been watching the situation with a look of bewilderment started whispering with a slightly surprised look.

    Even the chairman seemed somewhat hesitant unlike before.

    “I don’t know what it means to bring in an outsider and finish the job here.”

    Lennok asked looking at Silford with a cold gaze.

    “Who is going to decide what to do or not to do here?”

    “Now don’t be too harsh. “It would be a great opportunity for you too.”

    Silford naturally grabbed Lennok’s shoulder turned to the woman and whispered.

    “He is the most magical astrologer on the continent.”
