Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 669
Random Box (4)
What Antares took out The reaction from the people around him is only creepy.
But Lennok feels that he knows how dangerous it is.
Antares stands in front of a huge mechanical box with an expressionless face.
“leader... ... .”
“Did you come after receiving a call from Ban?”
The mercenaries and freelancers gathered at the mansion looked at the mercenary leader with a somewhat surprised expression.
In particular, the mercenaries belonging to his office looked more surprised.
It was as if he had never expected that Antares would appear in person at a place like this.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen your face in a place like this.”
“Would you like a beer, too?”
“Today, I will definitely get a recommendation for the rice cake category... ... !!”
Antares didn’t care about their gaze and looked around.
“It’s a wonderful house. Is it your taste?”
He seemed unfazed by the cracks and brilliance that flashed throughout Lennok’s mansion.
As if he had read the reverberation of lightning passing by, he only tilted his head slightly.
Dismissed!!
Fragments of the lightning that naturally brushed my ears pierced the mechanical box, burning its mana.
Lennok looked at him and smiled.
“It was closer than I thought. I thought I wouldn’t be able to reach you in the first place.”
“I was lucky.”
Antares calmly agreed.
“I had something to take care of in the East Continent.”
“What to do?”
“There are people who don’t put down their burdens even after a long journey is over.”
“... ... .”
Antares closed his eyes.
“They intend to return to the roles they once played. Too late, but it had to be done someday.”
I heard that a long time ago, Antares went on a long journey with his like-minded people.
Does the story of travel and luggage he talks about mean the lingering feelings of not being able to put down the work at that time?
As always, Antares’ words were quite metaphorical, and Lennock had no intention of asking for further explanation.
“So you’re saying that you’ve come here, even if it’s late, because everything you have to do is finished.”
“no. It was unplanned, so we had to change the schedule urgently.”
Antares replied.
“On happy days, expectations take precedence over understanding. I plan to go back after checking one thing.”
“... ... .”
It is true that he came because of the contact Lennok gave and the existence of the random box.
Does this mean that the gift of the random box itself is not the purpose?
Lennok’s eyes sank deeply as he understood Antares’ words to some extent.
Antares is a foresight who obtained a limited battery in return for seeing the outcome in advance.
If he changed his plan at this point and moved.
“Is it because this place is an area that has not been foretold to you?”
“It is the opposite. I came to you because wisdom began.”
Antares laughed and shook his head.
“I started to see areas that should have been invisible. I came here because I wanted to confirm the whole story.”
“... ... .”
“Are you okay?”
Antares is a foresight more powerful than anyone Lennok has ever known, and a fragment of omniscience that has devoted all its possibilities to a non-existent ending.
However, the reason why Antares shows favor to Lennok is probably because Lennok’s existence is seldom caught by his foreknowledge.
Nevertheless, if this party that Lennok had started to catch on to Antares’ foreknowledge,
wouldn’t it be because of the existence of a huge mechanical box shaking right in front of Antares?
Antares came to this place after recognizing that fact, and was asking if it would be okay if he checked the Ascension Gate.
“Like I said, it doesn’t matter... ... “
It’s a random box operated by a person with foresight who can see the future.
At least, there is no doubt that he is the only person in this position who can handle the element of ‘luck’ as he pleases.
It would not be entirely false to say that Antares is the luckiest person if luck itself can be foreseen and adjusted.
You’d be lying if you weren’t curious what Antares would see and pick out in there—
“because you’re not the only one who came late.”
“... ... .”
With those words, a black-haired woman silently landed behind Lennok.
He has his hands tucked into a thick jumper and wears a hat that slightly covers his face.
Dressed as if out of a light drink. However, his movements were so agile that no one in the room could match them.
Only the green eyes shining slightly through the hat indirectly tell who she is.
People who recognized her identity at a glance began to be slightly wary of her.
“Eveline Marcia... ... .”
“Why is the palace here?”
“The rumors that you and Ban knew each other were true.”
Some met Evelyn at Jenny’s bar, and others saw her for the first time here.
An ace of agents and a gifted archer.
There is no one who has not heard of its name and prestige, at least in the shadows of the Balkans.
It is only natural that the mercenaries are wary of her, who has been active against various criminal organizations and mercenaries.
Evelyn neatly ignored their stares and walked past Lennok and stood in front of a huge mechanical box.
Doo doo... ... !!
Antares and Evelyn silently stare at each other across the simple Ascension Gate.
Everyone quietly shut up at the face of the two monsters who have reached an unexplored state with a human body beyond the seven hierarchies of self-modification.
Lennok called out to him with an expressionless face.
Just silently calling his name without any magic.
But with that alone, Antares took his eyes off the door and raised his head towards Lennok.
“... ... okay.”
With a wry smile, he slowly released his hand from the lever, and immediately the door of the box closed with a roar.
Woooooo!!
At the same time, the wave of thoughts that disappeared like a lie on the spot.
“haha... ... !!”
“If Joe is a little late... ... .”
Antares lifted his head while Mila and Wei An gasped and sat down.
“I did, but it exceeded my expectations. I didn’t know you would check it here.”
“What was it about to come out?”
“The Last of the Sinners Who Offended the Taboo.”
Antares laughed.
“I knew you would be there. It’s like why the foreknowledge suddenly worked at this point.”
“... ... .”
“You made some really great stuff, Van.”
Slowly releasing the lever and stepping back, Antares approached Lennok and said,
“But it is such a dangerous thing. Do you know?”
“... ... .”
“People like us see beyond the door what we hoped for.”
Taking out a small piece of paper from his pocket, Antares beats his fingers and writes down.
It is a miracle to engrave letters on paper with only hand gestures without a pen.
Antares handed Lennok a piece of paper with numbers written on it, like a complex serial number.
“Sorry to ruin the fun atmosphere. But it may be necessary.”
“... ... Are the location coordinates?”
“A punishment given to those who violate taboos.”
Antares smiled bitterly and nodded.
“The story of that end is there. If you want, I would like to visit you at least once.”
“... ... .”
Does it mean that it’s worth taking the risk of something popping out of the simple ascension gate right now and telling Lennok?
Antares turned his back without waiting for an answer.
“leader... ... .”
“Even when I go, at least a glass of beer... ... .”
Even in the midst of this, Antares, who was smiling and looking at the mercenaries who were about to drink, patted him on the shoulder and turned around.
The appearance of the mercenary leader disappeared without a trace as soon as he took a few steps towards the front door.
Evelyn, who was frowning in displeasure, shrugged.
“This is why people with foresight are annoying. Even though he knows what he’s doing, he’s always like that.”
“You knew who Antares was.”
“What is it?”
Evelyn nodded slightly at Lennoc’s words.
“Sometimes I can understand the meaning even if I don’t understand it.”
“... ... .”
“You know that word choice and tense expressions are messed up, but you don’t bother to fix them. A superman who has reached that level has a reason.”
Since Evelyn has reached a similar level as Antares, even if she cannot understand everything he says, is it that she is in touch with the essence of the same line?
She seemed to be taking in the meaning somewhat differently than Lennok understood Antares.
“Well then, it’s my turn next. But seeing what he did, I wondered too.”
While Evelyn, her jumper sleeves rolled up, looked at the lever and smacked her lips.
Lennok tapped her on the shoulder and turned his gaze to Dylan.
“I’m sorry, but could you wait a moment to pull the lever?”
“what?”
“I do not have time. Maybe there is something that needs to be dealt with right away.”
“Uh uh... ... .”
“Come back soon.”
Perhaps because of the presence beyond the box that Antares had just opened, Dylan’s presence suddenly began to feel strange.
He hadn’t said anything since earlier and was struggling to stand leaning against the tent as if he was tired.
Although he hid his hands behind his back, he could see his heart slowly melting into Dylan’s hands.
A faintly pulsating heartbeat.
thump thump... ... !!
An illusion where the blue heart you hold and Dylan’s presence strangely overlap.
If it’s too late, it may be irreversible.
“... ... half?”
“This way Dylan.”
Lennok led Dylan straight to the mansion’s basement lab.
click!
Wheein!!
Dylan struggled to raise his gaze as lights came on everywhere and colorful research equipment appeared.
Dylan, who had been staring blankly at his surroundings, made up a voice of admiration.
“It’s tricky... ... Did you call to see this?”
“No way. Of course, that’s a different business.”
Lennok replied, pointing to the blue heart attached to Dylan’s hand.
“You’d better not use that, you know?”
“... ... .”
“The specific origin is a bit different, but it is a thing of the church.”
Lennok’s eyes gleamed coldly as he stared at his heart.
“To be precise, they serve... ... It is a sacrifice imbued with the power of a failed god.”
