약먹는 천재마법사 889화
Eyes that see fate (25)
“Stair number 8 of the Magic Tower. There is a subtle conflict where the barrier splits. “It seems likely that it will wear out after about 300,000 repetitive operations.”
Area 49. The magic tower of fastness.
As there were words of fastness, Jenny did not completely restrict Lapis’s movents.
However, he only attached one of his rcenaries as companions to keep an eye on Lapis.
However, instead of struggling to escape, Lapis was acting completely differently.
He was looking around the magic tower and informing the rcenaries about loopholes and conflicting parts of the security system.
“The elevator on floor number 7. The magic flow is wearing out. “If the equipnt was not installed at the risk of damage, it would be better to replace it.”
“Magic power is leaking out of the barrier from the office on floor 10. “It may be the work of an insider.”
“…That’s amazing.”
Su-ryeon, who was next to her and writing down what she said, was impressed.
“All of the areas you just pointed out are areas that the tower is aware of or actually had problems with.”
“….”
“In particular, I don’t think we were able to figure out the problem with stair number 10. Considering that the branch of the partner company in question changed frequently, there must have been a problem. “It was helpful.”
“Because I have good eyesight.”
Lapis smiled faintly.
“It’s not a big deal.”
“No, it’s a big deal.”
Suryeon declared.
“The current system that protects the Magic Tower is so complicated that no one except the tower owner, Ban, and Professor Bylon can fully understand it.”
“….”
Suryun said without noticing that the smile had disappeared from Lapis’ face.
“I think we can confirm with our own eyes what is possible only with the intuition of an archmage or the eye of a genius scholar.”
Su-ryeon smiled softly.
“The lighthouse keeper must be carrying a heavy mission as much as his supernormal abilities.”
“…I heard that Su-ryeon is from the Six-way Fortress.”
Lapis quietly changed the topic.
“Have you experienced any inconveniences in leaving your hotown and helping the Magic Tower?”
“Well, are you interested in ?”
Su-ryeon smiled awkwardly.
“It’s a sha, but I didn’t like my hotown. “Rather, I accepted Ban’s offer because I wanted to leave the fortress.”
“….”
“The castle I lived in maintained an isolated society for so reason… Of course, it wasn’t the head’s fault, but I wanted to leave.”
In the anti, Suryeon turned towards the stairs that Lapis had newly pointed out and spoke.
“I don’t think this city is much different now, but I have no regrets. “It was difficult to know without experiencing it firsthand.”
“is that so….”
“So, it may be presumptuous to say this, but I hope this will be an experience of its own for you.”
Suryun’s expression as she looked back at Lapis turned serious.
“He’s not half evil. “Rather, he is like a mirror when it cos to dealing with people.”
“….”
“I have never seen a high-ranking superhuman try so hard to preserve their humanity.”
“that….”
“Of course, it won’t be surprising if what I say sounds like absurd nonsense to you.”
Suryun smiled at Lapis, who did not deny it.
“However, I am confident that you will be able to leave Balkan safely. “Half won’t kill you.”
“….”
Even if I incur hostility from Lapis, does that an I have to say sothing about fastness to ease my anger?
Although she guessed it from her stiff tone of voice and neat deanor, Su-ryeon seed to be a warrior with a more upright character than Lapis thought.
“Ah, lastly, did you say you wanted to stop by the archives room? “Go right away.”
Suryun didn’t wait for Lapis’ answer and headed straight to the archives room.
Dozens of bookshelves filled with thick books and already completed commissioned materials.
It is a quiet place, as if an entire staircase has been turned into a library, but it is full of the sll of paper.
“Oh, I’ll wait here.”
Suryun let Lapis into the archive room and stopped near the entrance.
“Because all the exits and entrances on this staircase are connected to passages. “If you find any problem, please call right away.”
“I will.”
Lapis cald her expression as she watched Su-ryun’s back as she turned toward the reading room.
Transparent sky blue eyes looked beyond the quiet bookshelf without a single person in sight.
It’s been a few days since he started visiting the library to spend ti under the pretext of wanting to read books.
And Lapis didn’t co here just to read books.
“Where should we start today…”
I passed by the areas of literature and history academic journals and passed by the magic section where the magic books were located.
Current events and economy. Take out and open the latest weekly newspaper that mainly reports on social issues.
Bye!!
As the sll of paper wafted in the air, the first thing that caught my eye was the clear photo printed inside.
Lapis’ trembling eyes naturally read the article posted below.
[Director Evan Bylon officially took office at Bylon Institute.]
[Labatenon University of Magic announced that it plans to continue research in its own direction despite the formal technical partnership with Lightning….]
“….”
Evan Bylan. A doctor and full professor at Labatenon University of Magic.
He is a genius researcher who has achieved a reputation that shook the entire academic world through three thesis presentations.
Currently, he is a genius who has established an unrivaled field in the field of magic theory research in the Balkans, and other cities are paying attention to his achievents and conducting derivative research.
But the Evan Bylon that Lapis knows is definitely-
“why….”
Let’s go!!
Lapis’s hands speed up as she searches through the bundle of brochures and newsletter files in the storage room.
There are many plausible reasons. He can be convinced as much as he wants to be convinced.
But Lapis already knew.
The reason why Evan Bylan joined hands with the craziest wizard in Balkan.
The reason why he wants to get Lapis back by wandering around the city, increasing his strength, and fighting.
The reason why Evan Martinez said sorry to Lapis at the last mont.
“….”
There is sothing more secret than that. Maybe it’s more than Lapis can imagine-
Hot!!
The mont when Lapis’ hand grabbed the booklet and then slowly put it down, as if giving up.
A soft voice ca from behind .
“Did you see as much as you wanted?”
“…!!”
Lapis turned his head and saw Jenny with her arms crossed.
The composition is of Lapis leaning against a bookshelf and watching her search through books.
Looking at Lapis, whose expression was stiff, Jenny shrugged her shoulders.
“No matter how much you search, you won’t find the information you want. “I left out all the really important news and confidential information.”
“….”
“This storage room is a place that people from our partner companies often visit. “You can’t keep important confidential information in a place where outsiders can access it, right?”
“you….”
“Are you interested in Van? Or, to be precise, is it a partnership with Professor Evan Bylan?”
Jenny laughed.
“I understand if you wanted to ask for help from the most famous outsider in the city. Professor Bylon wouldn’t refuse a request for half a dozen. “You chose a good option.”
“….”
“I don’t know what thod they used, but I think they overheard the conversation in Dylan’s hospital room. “After seeing your attitude, I beca more certain.”
Did they already guess that Lapis had overheard their conversation?
Looking at Lapis slowly backing away with a wary expression, Jenny slowly tilted her head.
“What should I do… It’s hard to overlook the fact that they even tried to drag Professor Bylon into the ga…”
“…Do you really know about the wizard nad Ban?”
Lapis asked softly.
“Don’t you want to know why Lightning is doing this?”
“….”
Among the people Lapis t in this city, Jenny is a very kind and intelligent person.
If so, he might be able to persuade you to the contrary.
If Lapis explains the relationship between Evan and Fast that she vaguely recognizes now and asks for your understanding-
“I can tell if I need to. Maybe this incident itself is actually…!!”
“What is that?”
Jenny asked back with a smile on her face.
“What difference will it make if I learn more?”
“yes…?”
Jenny slowly walked away, leaving Lapis speechless.
Only Jenny’s voice echoed quietly across the quiet storage room.
“For so reason the class is moving. She had such talent that she ca to this city. Why do you want to seek answers… is that important?”
“….”
“Even if it happens, just in case…”
Jenny smiled bitterly and raised her gaze.
“Even if Van is living a different life sowhere, does it really matter to her?”
“…you.”
“Lapis. We are. “We’ve co too far.”
Looking at Lapis frozen in place, Jenny put her hand in her pocket.
“To the point where even doubting each other becos aningless. “In fact, it’s even a little scary now.”
“…that.”
“You too?”
Jenny asked back as if she knew what Lapis was thinking.
“Because I felt the sa thing. “You want to know because you have the sa concerns in mind, right?”
“….”
Lapis couldn’t answer.
Jenny’s words, which she said with confidence, seed to pierce her heart so precisely.
From the beginning, Jenny seed to already know Lapis’s motivations, which she was unaware of.
“You’re tired… aren’t you?”
Jenny slightly closed her eyes and muttered.
“It’s better to pretend not to care than to care about sothing. “She pretended not to know and turned away… I guess she couldn’t stand it so she was rummaging through her storage room.”
Jenny slowly gestured towards Lapis, who was silent.
“go back. Lapis. “I’ll take a look at it this once.”
“….”
“Instead, I will ban access to the archives room from now on. “You understand, right?”
Without waiting for Lapis’ answer, Jenny smiled and lifted up her phone.
“I received a ssage from the eyes of Cheong. “I will consult with Ban and try to finish the work before the Watchers return to the Balkans-”
“no. are you okay.”
At that mont, Lapis quietly interrupted Jenny.
More than a few years have already passed since the founding of Blue Eyes to its current position.
From the ti he started with a few followers until he entered the central front with thousands of mbers.
This is not a child who had to rely on others to make even her own decisions.
Lapis smiled and lifted her gaze towards Jenny.
“I’ll probably never stop by this storage room again.”
“…what?”
The mont Jenny’s expression changed as she read more aning from Lapis’ words.
Whoop!!
All the lights in the storage room were turned off, and her intestines were imrsed in thick darkness.
Kwaang!!
“Damn it…!!”
As soon as the lights went out, Jenny threw herself in front of her and realized she wasn’t catching anything, and she scread.
“The water lily is there!!”
“jenny!! “What happened!!”
Su-ryeon, too, must have entered the storage room as soon as she noticed sothing was wrong, holding a heavy scimitar in one hand.
click!
Jenny turned on the light on her phone, illuminated the spot where Lapis was standing, and bit her lip.
“Lapis Falseer ran away. “We have to catch it before it escapes the tower.”
“You also ran away?!”
Su-ryeon opened her eyes wide, raised her magic power, and made a frustrated expression.
“Really. There is no sign of it at all. How could there be a power outage at this point…!!”
“It’s not a coincidence. “The timing must have been adjusted by tampering with the tower’s internal facilities in advance.”
Jenny left the storage room with a cold expression and headed toward the lower stairs.
Su-ryeon ca out of the storage room belatedly and blad herself.
“sorry. It’s because of . “I should have kept a close watch…”
“It’s not your fault. It was my request to leave the room to talk to Lapis. Rather than that…”
Jenny, who finished her decision quickly, bit her lip.
“I deliberately made you co to . “He was waiting for the mont to et alone from the beginning.”
If Lapis had the power of ‘eyes’, she would have known that Jenny was the closest to an ordinary person among the Magic Tower officials.
That’s why Lapis was waiting for the mont when she would be left alone with Jenny even though she had the power to temporarily black out the facilities in the tower.
Even if Lapis disappears right after the power outage, make sure that Jenny, a low-ranking mber of the hierarchy, is not hasty in finding Lapis.
“You weren’t leading the huge force called the Blue Eye in vain. “Looking for information on Professor Bylon might have been a bluff to get my interest.”
Jenny muttered as she quickly sent a cell phone ssage to the officials in the tower.
“Restoration of the facility’s internal system has been completed.”
Faaah!!
At the sa ti, the lights inside the tower, which had been blacked out, begin to co on again.
The stairs were brightly lit, and branch signs twinkled on business establishnts in the outer hallway.
While the magicians who were out suddenly gathered on the stairs and whispered
widely!
Jenny looked down at the first floor lobby at the bottom of the stairs and lifted her cell phone.
“Close all entrances to the Magic Tower. “From now on, we will have to put all our effort into securing Lapis Palseer’s safety.”
* * *
[Recently, the city council issued guidelines regarding Evan Martinez, an unidentified arsonist wandering around the outskirts of the city…]
[The city governnt plans to officially withdraw the wanted order and announce a notice to stop tracking soon.]
[Criticism is pouring in for revoking the arrest order at a ti when Deputy Mayor Wainstone is not awake, but it appears that there will be no change in policy…]
[So are criticizing this as a hasty administration to prevent the damage from spreading.]
[anwhile, in the outskirts, the number of people following the criminal and committing copycat cris is rapidly increasing, causing trouble…]
Cheek!!
“Wherever I go, I only hear stories like this.”
Area 48. A rcenary who was listening to the news near the entertainnt district swore.
“I told you to kill and bring the head, and now I’m telling you not to even approach ?”
Other rcenaries who were sharing a drink scolded him.
“That’s proof that the watcher is a very dangerous wizard. “You know.”
“The officially confird casualties are in excess of thousands. Considering that all of them are magic users, this is a truly ridiculous figure.”
“Did you hear the news? I heard it’s called Cheonbeon (踐燔). “I step on everyone I co across and burn them.”
“It’s so ironic that a watcher who follows the Blue Eyes would be given such a bizarre nickna.”
A thousand tis Evan Martinez.
Those who know through rumor what kind of secret society the Blue Eyes are can only laugh at this.
This was also evidence that the number of outlaws that a wizard nad Evan burned to death in a short period of ti was unrealistically large.
“I guess he lost his master and was completely fed up. “How can I be sane if I lose my head?”
“In fact, maybe that’s why I beca stronger. “It is well known how great a shackle psychological restrictions are for a magician.”
“How much is it now? It must be military rank or higher, right? “Maybe castle level?”
“well. “If there was soone observing the area during the battle, there would be no way words wouldn’t co out on the floor…”
The strength of the supernova that suddenly appeared in the shadows of the Balkans is a hot topic regardless of whether it is sunny or shadowy.
On the deep web, famous superhumans are often compared and compared.
A common topic of discussion for the rcenaries sitting around the bar was the battle between the powerful.
Among them, the area of self-reflection, which reveals the original image of the magician, was a topic that was never left out of discussion.
A symbol of the completed hierarchy that anyone who uses magic, no matter what lineage or talent they are born with, will definitely reach.
There are quite a few cases where it is not actually helpful or useful in battle because it shows the original image as is.
Nevertheless, the fact that the area reveals the essence of the practitioner in the most primitive way does not change.
The simple yet difficult power of creating an environnt just for the user had the ability to attract even non-users.
“Did you know that the deep web has already paid dividends? “If you’re interested, at least put so money into it.”
“What about whether Cheonbeon is actually an Aspect Wizard or not? Just looking at it, it looks like a bad debt.”
“No, you idiot. Of course, paying dividends is sothing that happens a thousand tis and quickly. “Are you so incapable of understanding what to say?”
“Well, if Lightning dies, you don’t have to be afraid of that crazy guy anymore.”
One of the rcenaries sitting around the table looked frustrated and tried to drink the drink he was holding, but then tilted his head.
“Who drank the alcohol here?”
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about when you were holding it from earlier?”
“Bruno, are you just eating that and getting drunk and making a fuss? “This was complete nonsense!”
“No, fuck… Are you a little tired these days?”
The rcenary nad Bruno grumbled, poured himself another drink and lifted his glass to his mouth.
“….”
Bruno’s expression turned blank as if he had seen a ghost.
“…doesn’t exist.”
“Why is he like this from now on?”
“Hey, co to your senses!!”
Bruno muttered in a trembling voice.
“The alcohol evaporated before I could drink it….”
“…evaporation?”
The eyes of the other rcenaries all turned to the drinking glass they were holding.
Chi profit….
Only after seeing the contents of the drinking glass disappear at a rapid pace did the rcenaries’ complexions change dramatically.
The heat was so hot that the alcohol I was holding evaporated. However, their senses do not actually feel that heat at all.
A combustion phenonon that occurs purely through intention without even using magical power.
They knew from experience that by the ti they felt this sense of discomfort, it was already too late.
“Hey, this is…!!”
“Raise your horsepower. “Cover your ears and nose!!”
“Hold your breath and hold on. “Just think I’m going to suffocate to death!!”
“Fuck, fuck, fuck…!!!”
The rcenaries who threw away their glasses fell flat on the spot and covered their ears and noses with their hands.
The mont when I closed my mouth tightly, held my breath, and raised my eyes, barely protected by magical power.
Whoop!!
A searing heat blew in from the other side of the entertainnt district.
If the magical power had not been raised in advance to protect the facial features, it would not be surprising if the internal organs had been cooked.
Even though I am protected by magical power, it feels difficult to even open my eyes.
I feel that if I hold my breath even a little longer, my lungs will burn out.
Cheap!!
“…!!”
Other people who were drinking in various places in the entertainnt district seed to understand the situation and gave up any thoughts of running away and took a similar stance.
I sit on his knees and lie down on my stomach to keep the heat from reaching my internal organs.
At that mont, everyone on the nearby streets was lying face down and could barely raise their heads.
Woe!!
With flas flickering across the street, soone began to slowly approach.
Thin and skinny physique. An expressionless face whose emotions are difficult to read. The shape of a thick coat and a thick exhaust pipe tied to the forearm.
But what stands out most is the six dazzling fla spheres themselves spinning behind the young man’s back.
As if they were drawing a huge mandala just by their presence, each one spins dizzyingly in different orbits and directions, leaving afterimages.
Coo coo coo coo…!!!
My eyes are involuntarily taken away by a strange sight I have never seen before.
Everyone on the street forgot about the current situation and stared at the flas circling around the young man.
A magnificent scene where several planets seem to rotate and dance around the sun.
The flas ignited by that man travel along six different tracks, continuously amplifying, radiating heat and pressing down.
Six magical cores created by compressing the flas that had been heated to the limit using imagery as a material, using Jindun’s barrier technique.
The ultimate in amplification and divergence that is achieved by turning oneself into the center of a planetary system and turning all the power one possesses into full power.
There were not even a handful of people here who recognized that this was one of the points of bias pursued by fla magic.
“okay.”
The young man fell face down, covered his nose and mouth, and laughed as he looked at the people who were looking up at him as if they were fascinated.
“Just keep your head down and wait until everything is over.”
“…!!”
The young man walks quietly, not even paying attention to the reactions of people flinching.
Following the quiet steps, where not even the sound of footsteps could be heard, the eight-pronged sun blazed and lit up the path of fire.
“It won’t take long.”
Lennok’s eyes were focused on the huge magic tower rising into the sky in the distance.
A magic tower of fastness that exists in area 49.
The archmage’s domain, which embodies extraterritorial jurisdiction, is now close enough to be visible to the naked eye.
not far.
Pursued by a wanted warrant in the Balkans, dealing with all kinds of rcenaries and freelancers, and without being able to sleep, the fire was finally fueled.
We are reaching the edge of the conclusion that people have been so anticipating, anticipating, and fearing.
Good luck!!
He rotates six fla cores simultaneously and extends his hand across the boiling asphalt.
With a vibration that shook the earth’s axis, the shape of the clouds distorted and evaporated, and the atmosphere twisted and shriveled.
Damn it!!
At the sa ti as an eerie noise, as if a crack was cracking in the air, a small spark fell into Lennok’s hand.
The mont Lennok, who slowly and carefully wrapped the embers around the embers, brought his hand to his mouth.
Rumbling…!!
Far away, beyond the dark clouds on the other side of the city, thunder rumbled and faint lightning flashed.
On behalf of the tens of thousands of people who will be watching this place from now on, we will burst into celebration more spectacularly than anyone else.
The mont when everyone’s eyes are focused on the thunderbolt in the dark clouds in the distance.
Lennok muttered, swallowing the embers with his mouth.
“shall we start?”
