Drug-Eating Genius Mage

Chapter 908

Genius Magician Who Takes Medicine Episode 908

Hearing (4)

Not long before Lennok appeared at the hearing.

On one side of the stairs of the Magic Tower, there was a long meeting going on over Madame’s work.

[It took longer than expected to adjust the Geass. Still, the effect will be certain, so don’t worry.]

Madame said, pretending to wipe her sweat through the dark veil.

She pointed to a large piece of equipment lying next to her.

[If you have this equipment, it won’t be difficult to avoid the third rule of the referee code.]

“....”

[Why is everyone reacting like that?]

“No, I know what you mean, but...”

Jenny said. He said, unable to hide his nervous expression.

“Equipment that circumvents that protocol. Did it really have to be like this?”

Lennok also did not point out what was wrong, but instead agreed with silence.

A chair on wheels made by layering multiple pieces of black metal like ink.

The design itself is simple and not awkward, but it is clear what the object’s purpose is.

“I can’t imagine what the reaction would be if an 8th level archmage showed up at a hearing in a wheelchair.”

Jenny said, frowning as if imagining an image that was very difficult to recall.

But Madame coldly snorted, as if it was absurd.

[You don’t seem to know anything, but this is equipment that has always been effective even throughout the long history of vampires.]

“No, but this...”

[I heard that Fast has been suffering from an injury for a long time. Why is it a problem to use a walking aid for the safety of the injured person?]

“....”

[If you understand, please sit down right here. I have to make sure the equipment functions properly.]

Madame’s words were very firm.

He is tapping the wheelchair parked next to him as if this is absolutely necessary.

[Wasn’t you trying to ask my advice for help with this?]

“...Good.”

Lennok finally uncrossed his arms and walked forward.

Lennok took off his coat, holding the cane he was holding in one hand, and glanced at Madame.

“Is it okay to just sit down and not need any other preparation?”

[yes. Of course, when you attend the hearing, you will need someone to help you drive.]

Madame answered leisurely.

[You can add an automatic driving function, but it would be more effective to have someone pull it for you.]

“....”

While Lennok was moving as Madame requested, Madame started moving around and adjusting the wheelchair.

[great. The height and saddle length itself are appropriate. There are no problems with the operation of the equipment... Looking at it now, I see that you weigh less than your body size.]

“You seem quite good at this kind of work.”

When Lennok asked, seeing that he seemed to be skilled at adjusting assistive devices, Madame nodded slightly.

[I have learned some of the Kundara technique. Most of the residents there are accustomed to using such equipment.]

“The Jangsaeng species of the Outer World City are used to handling assistive devices?”

[No, it’s about the equipment that controls Geass.]

Madame shrugged her shoulders.

[But what you say isn’t entirely wrong. Kundara’s interests, both then and now, have been in the areas of deficiency and deficiency.]

“....”

Adjustment of Geass. Deficiency and deficiency.

As Madame, a former vampire, she probably knows more about the Dark City than others.

But for now, Madame didn’t seem to have any intention of explaining it either.

[That’s Okay. Lastly, if you place the cane you are carrying on your lap and cover it with your coat like this...]

Madame stepped back and clapped happily.

[The powerless wizard who was inevitably called in by the Central Council’s violence is completed.]

“....”

“Hey, this....”

Jenny’s expression, who had been watching with a distrustful look, changed slightly.

Jenny, who was looking intently at Lennok sitting in the wheelchair, spoke in a shaky voice.

“It suits you better than I thought?”

“....”

Madame smiled loudly and spread her shoulders.

[My eyes are not wrong. Do you know how many people I have interacted with and invested in beauty?]

“I see. “I thought the intention was too obvious, but at this level, no one would suspect anything.”

The two brokers suddenly reach a consensus and then whisper about Lennok.

Madame spoke excitedly, as if she were intoxicated with her own work.

[This pale face and pale expression. Dry lips and tired eyes. Everything is aesthetically perfect.]

“I understand how far a vampire’s sense of beauty is from that of humans.”

[Here, just sweep the hair upward and then spray it to fix it -]

“Wow...”

While Jenny was inadvertently admiring, Madame dragged Lennok in front of the mirror in the hallway on the stairs.

Only then was Lennok able to see what he looked like now.

“....”

Blank eyes and cold expression. Just as Madame said, discolored lips and a dry face with no moisture present.

Even after changing his face with disguise magic, he shows intense fatigue that cannot be hidden.

The aftereffects of not being able to sleep properly for several days and using my magic power had not yet gone away.

As I sit in the wheelchair and hold the cane at an angle, I look like a sick person who doesn’t have much time left to live.

[I don’t know what’s wrong with making sick people look sick.]

Madame shrugged her shoulders calmly.

Once I saw the completed Lennok, I felt quite confident.

[If you don’t like it, I’ll change the Geass adjustment equipment to a different form right now. Instead, I should get an incentive this time.]

“....”

[What do you want to do?]

I didn’t plan on pampering Madam for free anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I get an incentive.

The question is whether Lennok has enough reason to appear at the hearing in this form.

While Lennok was pondering, Jenny grabbed the handle of the wheelchair as if she remembered something.

“Do you think you can use it like this?”

Grumble.

Jenny slowly pushing her wheelchair up and down the ramp between the stairs.

I easily walk up and down the stairs of the tower with Lennok in tow.

Lennok nodded as soon as he saw the wheelchair moving up the tower’s ramp much more smoothly than before.

“good. “I suddenly like it.”

“yes?”

The reporters opened their mouths and tried to say something, as if in protest, but their voices did not reach this far.

The woman neatly turned away from the reporters and nodded lightly toward Lennok.

“You’ve waited a long time. “Let’s go right in.”

“They created a vacuum zone and blocked the sound.”

Lennok ignored her words and muttered, resting his chin.

“Seeing as the magical arrangement is very regular, it must be the magic of the tower that is refined while passing down the techniques. “Which one is it?”

“This is Avenia Stenson from the Tower of Valeport.”

A woman who introduced herself as Avenia bowed her head politely.

“We have partnered with the Balkan Central Council and are assisting the council’s work for the time being.”

“I’m helping the council...”

Lennok said and stared at Avenia.

Even though she was just staring while sitting in the wheelchair, Avenia’s body flinched for a moment.

Lennok’s eyes, who did not miss that sight, narrowed.

“I saw it. yes?”

“...yes.”

Avenia admitted.

“I was invited as an advisor to the duel between Ban and Cheonbeon. “I have been staying in this city ever since.”

“....”

I heard that the tower wizards stayed in Balkan one by one after this incident and began research.

Are there high-ranking wizards who have already partnered with the city council and begun their activities in earnest?

Avenia, who quickly regained her composure, opened her mouth again.

“Now that Mr. Ban has arrived, the hearing will begin immediately. Please go this way... and Antares.”

Avenia winked at Antares as she guided Lennok towards the entrance of the hearing hall.

Antares smiled transparently.

“Stenson. “It’s been a while.”

“...refrain from foresight within the venue. “I also warned those with congenital disabilities who attended the hearing.”

“don’t worry.”

Antares responded leisurely to Avenia’s sharp words.

“I didn’t come here today to tell you any bad fortune.”

“We’ll have to wait and see.”

Avenia, with her mouth twitching, turned around and started walking first.

Lennok asked with a look of surprise.

“Do you know each other?”

“Before. “We worked together a few times.”

Antares said as he slowly pushed the wheelchair into the hearing room.

“The wizards of the Valefor Tower are very extreme combatants. “If you can’t fight, you won’t even be allowed to go outside.”

“....”

“He’s basically good at advanced combat techniques, so he’s easy to work with, but he has a lot of friends with nasty personalities.”

“You have a dirty personality...”

If Antares, who has experienced all kinds of hardships in the mercenary industry, can say that, then you can guess what level of reputation the Balefor Tower has.

“Most magic towers would have a stronger identity as a research institution, but this is unusual.”

“More than that, I felt it when I saw how he treated you earlier...”

Antares grinned and spoke in a quiet voice that Avenia could not hear.

“I guess Avenia respects you?”

“...what?”

“Maybe it’s because they are a real-life fighting group, but the Valefor Tower really likes people who are good at fighting.”

“....”

“I guess he was impressed by what you did recently.”

While Lennok was silent about those absurd words, Avenia, who was walking ahead of him in the hallway of the hearing hall, stopped.

This is because an older man with dark blond hair was standing in front of the huge door leading to the hearing room.

A young face that feels heavy and dull at first glance.

On the sleeve, a navy blue badge representing the Senate of the Central Council shines.

He leaned against the door and was silent as if he was deeply contemplating something, then stood up as he saw Lennok approaching from afar.

“Oh, it’s not too late.”

“Senator Haven.”

Conrad Heyburn.

He is a magnate with considerable influence in the Senate of the Central Council and a powerful figure who occasionally intervenes in important matters within the Balkans.

Have you ever encountered Reisen Azamaha once at a fair as Evan?

Conrad said, scratching his head at Lennok’s indifferent answer.

“I heard there was a slight disturbance outside the hearing hall. So, I wanted to check before starting...”

The senator’s expression turned gloomy as he glanced at the haggard Lennok sitting in the wheelchair.

“...I don’t think that’s necessary. Well, if it’s not that bad, other people will understand at a glance.”

“Why are you here?”

Why is Heyburn here, aside from all the other city council members attending this hearing?

Considering the sensitive public opinion, secretly coming out to meet Lennok before the hearing starts could have been a risk in itself.

Is there any reason for Conrad to meet Lennok in advance, even if it means risking it?

“I once owed you something for Reisen Azamaha.”

Konrad lowered his voice slightly and winked at Antares.

This is probably because I am reluctant to talk openly about the incident in which former senator Reisen merged with an extinct tree and became a heterogeneous being.

Did the joint research to weaponize parts of the Reisen’s body that had been eaten away by the extinct tree yielded results?

“Thanks to your advice, I have been able to see significant results since then. “In return, I would like to warn you before the hearing begins.”

“briefly.”

Lennok nodded and Conrad immediately opened his mouth.

“The hearing held against a high-ranking superhuman is not just a ceremonial event.”

Conrad’s eyes darkened for a moment.

“Restraints and restrictions are essential for the safety of attendees and stable progress. “But it’s not like you can impose detention without any consequences.”

“Are you saying that a price is needed for the judgment rules to be established?”

“...Did you already know about the refereeing regulations? It might not have been difficult for an archmage to familiarize themselves with the information in advance-” “

There’s only one minute left. “The door will open soon.”

Conrad cleared his throat and said as Antares seemed confident.

“Anyway, in order to pay for the judgment regulations, one person each from the city government and the Senate judiciary must come forward and force the establishment of the regulations. And its members must be composed of superiors of all involved in this matter.”

“He is a superior...”

Lennok’s eyes changed slightly as he understood the meaning of those words.

It is easy to be mistaken because of the fastness and a thousand decisive battles, but the fundamental cause of this incident is the wanted order that started in District 19.

The reason for the wanted order was that Amy Weinston, the deputy mayor of Balkan City, was in a coma.

And at this point, if someone higher than Deputy Mayor Weinston has to step in and enforce the establishment of the referee protocol –

“I guess you already understand what I mean.”

Realizing that Lennok had noticed, Conrad nodded, skipping all other introductions.

“This hearing. There is a possibility that the Mayor of Balkan will be attending in person.”
