Genius Magician Who Eats dicine Episode 648
Executor (5)
The entrance to the dark stairs going down to the basent of the clock tower.
mbers of the committee, whose hands were tied with thin magic thread, were walking down the basent in a row.
The mbers of the committee are moving as if being escorted as a group while being held hostage.
“The truck you were riding in. It was a cash transport vehicle belonging to the central bank near the central district.”
Langmuir, who noticed Lennok walking silently at the far end of the line, said.
“Although it is old, it is still used in this area. Did you ride it to sneak into the deep district?”
Lennox looked at Langmuir as if he was having fun, then replied.
“Internal security is loosely set toward the financial district to receive and store slush funds in real ti.”
“… … what?”
“If you say you’re leaving to get the cash, no one will suspect you. I think it is thanks to the committee mbers who worked tirelessly for the developnt of the city.”
No one dared to open their mouths, even though they knew that Lennok was not saying it with good intentions.
It was because all the plans he was talking about now were circumstantial evidence that he had thoroughly prepared for this mont.
The craftsman standing in front of them knew that this mont would co.
“… … Genga even knew that he received slush funds from the clock tower and sent them to the financial district by transport vehicle.”
“Commissioner Langmuir!!”
“How can you carelessly spread such rumors!!”
The other mbers of the committee were stunned, but Langmuir ignored them and asked Lennox.
“What is the purpose? What are you trying to do by holding us hostage?”
Before replying, Lennok looked up at the ceiling of the basent stairs of the clock tower they were walking through.
“The clock tower here is said to be one of the oldest buildings in Makina.”
“… … .”
“The building itself has long since lagged behind Makina’s technological prowess, but because of its symbolism, it remains in the deep district… … Isn’t it ironic considering the prestige of the Machine City?”
The other committee mbers were also not shaken as they had gone through all sorts of hardships, but they couldn’t hide their nervousness.
The engine room of the clock tower is revealed when you turn a thick lever after passing through long spiraling stairs and dark corridors.
All sorts of pumps and pistons move nonstop in all directions, filling the engine compartnt with a mixture of steam and heat.
“Whoa… … .”
The mbers of the committee waving their hands with a look of sweat or suffocation due to the sudden environntal change.
Langmuir ignored them and turned his gaze to Lennok, who stood furthest behind.
“As you said, the power efficiency is not good because it is an old building. It’s impossible to find anything here… … .”
click!!
At that mont, Lennok imdiately closed the door to the engine compartnt and locked it from the inside.
What does it an to use your hands to prevent anyone, including yourself, from leaving the engine room?
“Huh… … !!”
The complexions of the other mbers of the committee turned pale, and everyone backed away from Lennok.
“lie… … !!”
“Damn it, why did you co all the way to this place… … !”
Instead of responding to the cry, Lennok raised the blunderbuss in his hand and pointed it at the commissioners.
The mont when the finger pulled the trigger before he could react and the committee mbers closed their eyes tightly with both hands covering their ears.
coo!!
The pumps and pistons that were busily moving inside the engine room all stopped working.
“… … what?”
said Lennok as the commissioners slowly removed their hands from their ears, looking dumbfounded.
“47 large pumps. 80 dium Pistons. 693 bottom insert pipes and 3 steam vents from Platoon Workshop.”
Lennok lowered his blunderbuss hand and started walking, looking around.
“The power generated inside the engine room is too large to cover one clock tower. If the output is normally supplied, it is not strange if the internal facilities are overloaded and damaged.”
“What what?”
“Then, isn’t the energy generated by this engine room being used for other functions, not just the clock tower?”
At that mont, the floor of the engine room where Lennok and the commissioners were standing shook greatly and began to sink.
Koo Goo Goo!!
“Ugh!!”
“Fall!”
“Now, where to catch… … !”
The mbers of the commissioners staggering and clinging to the handles that sohow exist throughout the engine room.
The expression of the committee mbers who inadvertently grabbed the dust-strewn handle changed strangely.
“Right. The fact that the handles were made in several places in this way… … .”
Rumble rattle!!
As if the engine room beca an elevator, it falls down at a rapid speed as if it were plunged into the basent.
After a while, it seed to stop, but this ti it turned to the side and ran for a long ti.
The shape of the engine room swaying as if running on a rail and then rising again.
“… … hmm?”
So of the committee mbers with good senses tilted their heads, as if they felt sothing out of place.
rattle!!
As soon as the engine room stopped, the door Lennok had locked opened wide.
The committee mbers who hesitantly escaped muttered in embarrassnt as they looked at the scenery outside.
“What is this… … .”
“Such a vile idol was hidden in the clock tower?”
In the middle of a gloomy mound of dirt that looks like it’s been dug up. A gigantic statue of Palbi on the other side was embedded in the pile of soil as if it were being buried.
A demon-like figure with two heads and eight arms.
All eight arms are tightly bound by unknown chains, and ten pupils are tightly closed.
The figure of the statue of a quiet god, almost half-buried between piles of soil, seed to be asleep.
However, its presence is truly overwhelming even without exerting any force.
Lennok moved closer and touched the statue’s forearm as the other commissioners staggered back in the face of the statue’s presence.
‘The coordinates the doctor said are here.’
Lennok’s eyes lit up as he realized that the hardness and material of his forearm was similar to what he rembered.
‘The new statue of the two-sided palbi used for the interim settlent of accounts. Was this the prototype?’
While tracking down the assassin of Narcissa Solr, Lennok encountered a replica similar to the statue used by Dr.
Didn’t he obtain information about the manufacturing thod of the Armadelta alloy by obtaining the hamr of Jingun Hwadeok from the Side Squad agent who was looking for the heart of the dragon?
At that ti, I didn’t know why the replica of the god statue was here, and I just ran away after using only the god’s ability.
It was only after I learned that the doctor’s na was Attermyer that I could clearly understand the story behind it.
Ateryer, the designer of the Ascension Gate.
A prototype for storing the information of the old world created by him who has been studying the old world for a long ti in the machine city.
That was the identity and source itself of the divine statue that existed in this machine city.
The new statue used in the interim settlent in Pandaemonium is probably the finished version that the doctor created after leaving Makina.
However, the original image was still stored in this machine city.
In the secret space of the clock tower with a long history, where the Ex Machina mbers live.
The hidden function of the engine room was activated because the clock tower’s extra power itself was being used to maintain this underground cavity.
Lenok investigated a series of processes through the coordinates obtained from the doctor and successfully found the identity.
Bringing the transport vehicle to the clock tower and holding the committee mbers hostage was itself a ans to enter the coordinates the doctor gave.
Decades have passed since the na Atermire was completely forgotten, but the personal statue left by the doctor was still there.
Lennok, who was tying the chains tightly binding the statue’s arms, said.
“It’s an item made and hung by a ister-class artisan.”
“… … what?”
“It appears that equivalent privileges are required to disable its own built-in security system.”
Lennox gave a light nod to the hesitant, backing committee mbers.
“Does this an that it requires the authority of an Ex Machina?”
“I can’t believe it. To think such an abomination was hidden in the basent of the clock tower… … .”
Everyone understood, even without telling them, why Lennok had taken the commissioners hostage and brought them here.
The committee mbers hesitated and stood in front of the chains that tied the statue’s eight arms.
Recognize the ticket on the device next to the solid chain and request the release of security asures with Ex Machina’s authority.
As soon as the system approved the authority, the chains binding the identity were released at the sa ti.
Woooo!!
The fallen chain raised a dusty wind and covered the heads of the committee mbers.
“Cool cool cool!!”
Lennok nodded at them as the dusty commissioners stepped back in an instant.
“Could you go back to the engine room and wait?”
“Lyman… … Do you know what that statue is?”
Another mber asked with a worried expression.
Lennox smiled faintly instead of replying to that.
“This cavity is under developnt, so oxygen is very rare.”
“What is that… … ?”
“If we don’t quickly return to the well-ventilated engine room, it might not last long.”
“… … !!”
Lennok, who had sent the committee mbers back to the engine room on their own with just a few words, turned his gaze to the statue.
Anyway, the movent function in the engine room won’t work unless Lennok goes back.
A relatively well-ventilated engine room would be a suitable place to confine the commissioners.
This underground space is hidden enough to be reached by descending several hundred ters from the clock tower, so it is suitable for holding committee mbers hostage.
The only thing left is to use this statue located at the coordinates left by the doctor to achieve the intended purpose.
“May. Are you ready?”
“It has been confird that the statue is real.”
Maiya, who casually walked out from behind the statue, responded.
“If I hadn’t taken the commissioners to and from the engine room, it would have started a long ti ago.”
“Although Atteryer gave the location of the hidden idol, I heard that it has been more than several decades since he left Makina.”
Lennok responded calmly to Maya’s words.
“There was a possibility that soone might have recognized the existence of the statue and put their hands on it. Didn’t one of the isters actually find the identity and put a chain on it?”
Imdiately, Maya’s eyes shone as she understood Lennok’s words.
“Right. Did you think that if there were that many mbers of the Ex Machina committee, it would be easy to break any security barriers?”
“The chained ister found the statue, but couldn’t find a way to get it out of the clock tower where the mbers of the Machine Head faction reside.”
Lennok said, looking at the chains that fell in disarray everywhere.
“So it seems that only those with the sa authority hung up a chain that could be removed and tried to study the identity later.”
Considering that replicas of the statue were actually used among Side Squad agents, evidence that Lennok was not the only one who discovered this prototype.
Perhaps so of the machine-headed mbers Lennok had just returned to the engine room as hostages were aware of the statue’s existence.
It won’t be difficult to dig into the history if you deliberately spend ti interrogating and scratching the inside… … .
“Because I don’t have ti. For now, I’ll investigate Ex Machina’s activities related to the statue separately later.”
As Lennok said, he lightly tapped his wrist.
“While moving in the engine room, I managed to duplicate the tickets of two of the commissioners. It will be blocked after one use, but it will be able to pass through the highest security barrier twice.”
If it wasn’t for the route the doctor gave , I wouldn’t have been able to grab the leash of the chanical head mbers so easily.
It was not a situation to kill or take hostages on the spot, but Lennok did not let them go lightly.
The cramped environnt of the engine room. In an unstable situation, he secretly copied the tickets of the mbers who were weak in defense by breaking through the consciousness of the mbers who had no ti to spare.
At the sa ti, if there is any security device in the middle of raising the personal image, he was thinking of using the mbers as a shield to get through.
“In the anti, they even managed to duplicate the Ex Machina mber’s ticket… … good.”
Maiya muttered with an expressionless face and nodded lightly.
“It feels much better than I thought. start right away.”
“If there’s a problem, I don’t know what purpose the personal statue is used for. From now on, you will have to take care of it.”
Of course, as Lennok participated in the interim settlent, he knew what kind of ability the new statue was, but he sneaked out of here.
Since he did not co as Victor, there is no reason to reveal that he knows about the doctor or his identity.
Maya knew that Lennok was no ordinary craftsman, but did not inquire into the details of his identity.
It’s not because I can’t guess who Lyman’s real identity is, but rather because I can guess to so extent.
‘Are you pretending not to know about the existence of fastness, or do you think it doesn’t matter if you don’t know… … .’
Lennok’s eyes sank deeply as he looked at Maya’s back as he approached the statue.
Either way, it was clear that Lennok did not need to pretend to know about the god’s powers at this point.
Here, I have no choice but to follow the judgnt of Maya, who received the doctor’s advice.
Thinking so, Lennok pretended not to know and first spoke to Maya.
“If it’s a new statue that Atermire made himself, it’s likely to be a dium connected to the old world.”
“right. If you ca from Simseonggwan looking beyond the door, you would know.”
It would feel rather strange if I couldn’t guess this much as I ca back after seeing through the door as Lyman.
Maiya also naturally nodded and climbed onto the statue’s palm.
“To be precise, it is a storage device for trading and storing the mories and information of the old world in the form of equivalent exchange.”
“… … .”
“The doctor conceived of this object a long ti ago, but it was only after the plan was finished that he actually completed it.”
“A failure of the Ascension Gate plan?”
fire… … !!
As soon as Lennok ntioned the word openly, Maya’s spirits turned terrifyingly sharp.
But Victor knows this, but Lyman doesn’t. It was a problem that needed to be pointed out even if it was mixed with obvious acting.
Maiya looked down at Lennok with a cold gaze and nodded slowly.
“… … It was only after one failure was completely completed that the doctor returned to the way he had originally thought.”
“… … .”
“Only he knows what Ateryer was thinking in the end, why he abandoned his na, threw everything he had and left the city.”
Clap!!
Taking out a shortsword from her bosom, Maya smiled coldly.
“But it would be a lie to say that I didn’t leave any regrets at all. If that were the case, there would be no way the prototype of the statue would have been hidden here.”
Without hesitation, Maiya climbed onto the statue’s palm and slowly raised her magic power.
Lennok watched Maija’s work behind the scenes with deep interest.
The ability of the new statue created by the doctor is to dedicate information and artifacts from the old world, asure their value, and exchange comparable information in principle.
Didn’t Lennok also get his hands on the recipe for the Armadelta alloy by using a copy of the statue?
It’s as if the doctor gave a word to use him to get the necessary information when he gave the coordinates where this identity was hidden.
If so, it is also true that I am curious about what Maya will be doing in exchange for personal information at this point.
‘At the ti of the interim settlent, Maya didn’t stand out much. … .’
At the ti of the interim settlent in the satellite city of Bayrutz, Maya was satisfied with only filling the quota and did not seem to be very interested in the transaction itself.
However, he wouldn’t hesitate to offer important information in exchange for work directly related to Machine City Machina.
Lennok was interested in what information Maya would find in exchange for a way to stop Hers.
The mont Lennok was waiting for Maya’s mouth to open as she climbed on top of the statue’s palm and raised her magical power.
Maya lightly took a step forward and in an instant climbed onto the god’s arm.
“… … hmm?”
Before Lennok could say anything about the unexpected move.
Aweso!!
Maiya, who wielded a sparkling shortsword, cut off the head of the god statue at once.
