Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 727

Wizard and Mage Tower (4)

Jenny’s bar located in District 49.

The spacious lobby is bustling with customers at any time of the day.

As usual, people with glasses are talking across the full table.

A neutral zone where you can relatively quickly get in touch with all sorts of messy news happening in the shadows of a megalopolis.

However, the rumors going up and down in people’s mouths today were not about requests or events.

“Did you hear the news?”

“You mean the Antares mercenaries? I heard you’ve become a fisherman.”

“You have Camilla. Mad woman with that shotgun.”

The man quietly looked around.

“These days, I heard that he has given up commissioning altogether and is focusing on tuna fishing. Wouldn’t that be quite a bit of money?”

“... ... okay?”

“I know that the owner of the bar is also working, but it’s better to find out the unit price at least once-”

At that moment, a quiet voice came from behind the two of them.

“I’m not doing this for money.”

“omg... ... !!”

The man startled and looked back, confirmed the owner of the voice, and his face turned pale.

The voice muttered, not paying attention to such a reaction.

“There are things much more important than that. Don’t interfere.”

“Oh, I see. Damn, even if you gossip behind your back... ... .”

With embarrassed faces, the customers quickly calculated their drinks and left.

The voice ignored them and silently kept an eye on someone at the end of the bar.

“... ... .”

If you cast a glance and turn your head, you pretend not to know.

“... ... .”

He quietly peeks at Lennok, who is sitting near the counter, from the other side of the pillar.

I stare at her with a nervous look, and then shamelessly pretend not to know, as if it had never happened before.

Blue hair waving like a tail on the other side of the pillar. In the meantime, he even has a habit of sipping without letting go of his glass.

Knowing who the owner of the gaze was, Lennok focused on tasting Jenny’s new concoction.

Rather, the colleagues around Lennok found this situation awkward.

“I’m asking because I’m really curious.”

Jenny, who was standing in front of Lennok and shaking the shaker, said impatiently.

“Did you lend Mila any money?”

“Can it be?”

“Then why is that idiot acting like he’s gone crazy all of a sudden?”

Took.

While Jenny asked, a glass full of whiskey suddenly slipped under her arm.

Mila approached and handed Lennok a glass full of cocktails.

“... ... Hmmm. I’m a bit full.”

When I turned my gaze, I pretended not to know and turned my head and smoked.

It’s not blatant, but it’s clumsy, so it looks like a joke.

Dylan and Felix, sitting on either side of Lennok and discussing the cost-effectiveness of a small tactical vehicle, opened their mouths when they saw it.

“her... ... .”

“What am I looking at?”

Dylan stuck out his tongue in amazement.

“Is this guy going to die tomorrow if he concedes his own drink?”

“If Antares foresaw this future, he might have come back and watched it long ago.”

Mila seemed to be irritated by the two teasing, but she held back and turned around.

The figure of her quietly watching Lennok from behind the pillar again.

Everyone’s complexion turned pale at that unusual reaction and attitude.

“... ... That’s not Mila. I think I was possessed by a very venomous ghost.”

“I am not usually patient. Shall we visit a famous shaman?”

Looking at the mercenaries who started to seriously worry about Mila, Lennok shook his head.

“I don’t think it was possessed by a ghost. Someone with a similar ability was dealt with a while ago.”

“Then what is it?”

“well... ... .”

Lennok laughed.

“I think you should hear it with your own mouth.”

Even after that, Mila began following Lennok like a ghost and subtly showing her favor.

“Hey, weren’t you off duty today?”

“... ... Suddenly I want to do something.”

He works harder than usual at the bar and kicks out drunken customers who behave badly.

“Can I clean here too? like this?”

“Oh, be careful washing that window... ... !!”

Clink!

They participate in office cleaning, which they have not done in their entire lives, or participate in bodyguard training to become opponents in sparring.

“Hey Wei An. Take a good look at this. This is how you clean a shotgun magazine.”

“For something like that, Mila’s shotgun seems too dirty.”

“... ... .”

Using his extensive knowledge of firearms, he inspects the company’s internal equipment and attends morning meetings at the office without hesitation.

Even the mercenaries, who were suspicious of Mila at first, were happy for her change.

“If I’m sick, I’d rather not get better.”

“There could be a real ghost, so if a shaman comes to the bar, I just kick him out.”

“I agree.”

“... ... It’s not like that.”

Mila, who endured even the jokes of the mercenaries, who were almost half teased, silently polished the egg of the Guardian Spirit.

[Yum yum.] When

the eggshell is wiped with a towel soaked in potion, the Guardian Spirit Beast makes a satisfying sound.

His colleagues looked at him with an absurd expression as he rolled the eggs around the bar lobby floor.

“It’s good to sell. So, when the hell does that guy hatch?”

“Seeing that he has intelligence, I wonder if there is another reason for not coming out of the egg.”

“Perhaps the consciousness arises first, and then the body is formed inside the egg.”

“Your appetite is too strong for that kind of thing.”

Mila, who worked diligently cleaning the eggs, now feeds the tuna with her familiar hands.

The appearance of a guardian spiritsoo waving an eggshell and receiving and eating tuna.

Even in the middle of it, I’m so quick that I rarely show myself.

“It’s a period of growth.”

Lennok said, looking at the glasses that gleamed with a soft glow.

“It must have been expensive because production was difficult. It must have taken some time to collect the incentives received from accepting the quest.”

Was it for this that Mila earned her time by working hard next to Lennok?

“It is inefficient and visibility is not good. To be honest, it weighs a little too much. but... ... .”

Lennok smiled as he silently put his monocle to his right eye and looked at Mila.

“It’s a good thing.”

“... ... .”

“Wouldn’t it be possible to create an artifact like this only with research wizards?”

“Well then... ... !”

“If you are from Lavatenon, the basics will be enough. Take him to Tatiana for an interview.”

Looking at Mila’s brightened face, Jordan, who was wiping his glass, smiled happily.

Jenny also sighed with her arms crossed, but did not refute.

Even among veteran mercenaries, Mila’s younger brother, who is sensitive, might think that there will be no shortage of abilities.

An excited Mila called Priscilla and ordered Jenny a bunch of strong whiskey while Lennok stepped over to Jordan.

“Jordan. Would it be all right for a moment?”

“of course.”

Jordan, who was wiping his glass, immediately wiped his hands and nodded.

“Is this something to avoid?”

“... ... maybe.”

Mila, who had been obsessively following Lennok for several days, had disappeared, so it wouldn’t matter if she made a suitable excuse and avoided the spot.

Jordan immediately led Lennok to a small storage room behind the bar.

“It’s a place that even Jenny doesn’t know well. It will take some time to come.”

“You seem to hear it often.”

“Everybody needs some alone time sometimes.”

Lennok took a cigarette and gave it to Jordan, but Jordan refused.

“Keep it short because Dylan and the other mercenaries will be back. What do you have to say?”

“Ethan Bajour is alive.”

“... ... .”

Lennok said quietly, looking at Jordan, who had turned to stone.

“If you’ve worked with Kaise, you probably know about this name.”

Jordan is a colleague who was with Kaise before he was alive, and is the only person who still remains by Jenny’s side.

But if Jordan is still alive after being involved in the project, there must be a reason.

Lennok had guessed that, and had never questioned Jordan directly about it, but now the case was different.

Ethan Bajour. Kaise’s son and Jenny’s father.

It was impossible for Jordan, who watched them right beside them, not to know about their family relationship.

Jordan, too, was silent with an expressionless face, as if intuition that Lennok was asking about it.

Jordan, unable to speak, opened his mouth with difficulty.

“Sorry for repeating. Can you put one on me?”

After receiving the tobacco from Lennox, Jordan put it in his mouth and took out a lighter from his pocket.

Jordan, who lit the fire so skillfully for something he wouldn’t normally prefer, took a deep inhalation of the smoke.

“As you may have guessed, I was Kaise’s personal physician.”

Jordan looked at Lennok and said quietly.

“I had to watch the cursed brother right next to him and treat him every time. lest he be ruined. To make it last until the end of the project.”

According to Jenny, Jordon learned medicine by traveling around battlefields since he was a child.

It was said that he met Kaise and started working together after he was well over 40, so he must have been a professional with more than decades of experience at that time.

“Does Jenny know?”

“... ... well.”

Jordan, who was smoking a cigarette, answered.

“But he must have tried to find out.”

The old man’s eyes sank as he gazed at the darkness beyond the warehouse.

“He was very clever from an early age. You know very well how to find what you want without explaining it... ... .”

Jenny is a more capable and seasoned broker than Lennok when it comes to the physiology and business of the underworld.

Rather than being ignorant of the project, it’s reasonable to assume that she stopped investigating herself at some point.

Lennox was also aware of that fact and decided to ask Jorden first rather than asking Jenny directly.

“Ethan Bajour was such a special person.”

“Although he resembled Kaise, he was completely different in crucial parts... ... .”

Jordan laughed bitterly.

“Even though she had innate intelligence and charm, she tended to hide her true feelings at the end.”

“... ... .”

“Perhaps he even tried to hide and hide his own death and create it in a different form.”

I mean, I wasn’t sure, but I thought maybe it was.

“Kaise suffered from his curse all his life, but he loved his talent and his destiny.”

As if guessing Lennok’s question, Jordan said.

“But I couldn’t treat Ethan like that.”

“... ... .”

“That’s all I can say. Because I couldn’t prevent Ethan’s death after all.”

Jordan said painfully.

“Maybe... ... When everything around Jenny turned harsh, I thought it might be... ... I am... ... .”

I thought he might still be alive after Ethan died, but I wasn’t sure.

If Jordan had been Kaise’s doctor, he would have treated his son Ethan as well.

That’s why Jordan thought he was responsible for Ethan’s death and didn’t dig deep into the fact.

“When I was young, I wanted to be a veterinarian. But after being taken to the battlefield, I had to heal humans, not animals.”

Jordon murmured as he tinkered with the tobacco.

“Sew, glue, cut... ... It was the feeling of repairing a living part, not a person. I learned there that sometimes life is worse than death.”

said Jordan blankly.

“I am not afraid of death now, Van. but... ... .”

Jordan, who slowly burned the tobacco, looked away.

“I’m afraid that the decision I made might betray Kaise’s Yuji.”

“... ... .”

“I thought that waiting for the end quietly in this bar and wishing for Jenny’s happiness was the last thing given to me... ... .”

Jordan turned around with a complicated look on his face, and as he was about to leave the door, he took something out of his arms and handed it to Lennok.

“I gave it to you once before. Do you remember?”

“This... ... .”

A necklace that Jordan gave to Lennok before heading to the North Continent’s Labyrinth, saying it might be helpful.

Jordon was handing back the necklace he had given back, unable to find any other use for it.

“I couldn’t tell you then... ... .”

said Jordan as if he had made up his mind.

“Among Kaise’s keepsakes, it’s the only thing Edan wanted.”
