Chapter 961

The Medicine-Taking Genius Wizard Episode 961:

Geumje (16)

“Wrong. “I can’t even see the glove-like artifact.”

The search ended only after the closets and warehouses of the three-story mansion were turned over.

Feisha, who only then realized that there was no significant harvest, grumbled.

“It’s all just flashy stuff and worthless. “It was the home of a vain aristocrat.”

The accessories on the shelves on the second floor were also items of low value because they did not contain magical power.

It’s natural to feel irritated as you search for items that can’t even be considered items, let alone artifacts.

However, Lennok calmly walked away even though he knew that he had been in vain.

“I’ve checked everywhere else, so let’s go down to the first floor.”

“Hey, if you know anything, tell me quickly.”

“Because Anathema may have hidden records or journals in the mansion. “I just left it there just in case.”

“It means I knew from the beginning that I was wasting my time!!”

Ignoring the loudly screaming Feisha, Lennok immediately used blinking towards the first floor.

Felix and Feisha followed Lennok, who ignored the stairs, and came down, and Lennok pointed to a chair in the living room.

“sit down. “There’s something I need to explain before we start.”

“I’m not so weak that my legs hurt from just briefly searching the mansion.”

The sight of Feisha sitting across from her sarcastically and Felix sitting right next to her with his arms folded.

“I talked to Felix earlier, but many of the ornaments and furniture in the mansion are exceptionally elaborately made.”

Lennok looked at the two people and lifted the music box on the living room table.

“This music box is like that too. “It looks ordinary on the outside, but it is an object that can play 16 different songs by combining six mainsprings.”

“whatever?”

Lennok said in response to Feisha’s displeased reaction.

“I think that all the furniture and props in this mansion were made by Anathema herself.”

“Anathema produced the furniture and props herself?”

Felix asked with a confused look, and Lennok nodded.

“The same goes for the accessories decorated on the shelves. “These are definitely items that Anathema herself touched.”

“Anathema, that bastard didn’t seem like someone who would have a hobby for handicrafts like this.”

“It’s not a hobby.”

Lennok put down the music box and nodded at Feisha’s indifferent retort.

“It’s practice.”

“practice...?”

“Extraction of magician. Manufacture of furniture and decorations. “These two actions may seem unrelated, but they are clearly tied together under one clear intention.”

Lennok said and swept the table with one hand.

“It’s repetitive learning to practice and strengthen extremely precise manipulation skills.”

“....”

“Anathema was practicing using manipulation techniques alone in this home.”

“This is absurd.”

Feisha snorted and leaned back in her chair.

“Did that scaly bastard really dream of changing his career path to become a manipulator at his age?”

“Specialty-type spells aren’t something you can easily acquire.”

Felix muttered with a complicated expression.

“Isn’t this a technique that can be mastered not only through natural talent but also through the environment?”

“yes. However, it is also a lineage that can be forced to bloom through special acquired or special experiences.”

Lennok nodded.

“The reason Anathema tried to learn manipulation techniques was because she thought she had satisfied that case.”

“....”

“If you learn the technique through acquired experience, then...”

“A taboo weapon that Anathema brought with her when she was expelled from Arsnova.”

Lennok, who was thinking while rapidly tapping the table with one hand, said.

“He believed that with the power of the Taboo Sergeant, who is believed to be specialized in manipulation techniques, he would be able to acquire that talent.”

“That taboo weapon is something that can unlock the talent for manipulation techniques in humans who have already completed their growth?”

“You can only find out by seeing it for yourself.”

Lennok stood up and chuckled.

“But there is no doubt that the Taboo Weapon is an artifact with such powerful power that Anathema thought of it that way and put it into practice.”

“....”

“It is definitely an item that can raise the power of a manipulator to another level, at least.”

Since his thoughts had reached that point, Lennok was now determined to retrieve the taboo weapon.

As Victor has a long history of handling manipulation techniques, there may be some progress if he investigates the taboo weapon.

There is no reason to hesitate as we know that the taboo weapon stored by Anathema is not an ordinary item.

“The reason I’m explaining this in advance now is because I might not have time to explain it in advance from now on.”

Lennok said this and stood in front of the fireplace in one corner of the drawing room.

“I’ll open the door now. “Time to prepare is running out, so gather your magic power in advance.”

“...half. “You spoke earlier as if you knew where to go.”

Felix asked as if something suddenly occurred to him.

“There are no entrances to this mansion other than the front door, so where can I find the Geumgi Soldier?”

“You can find the answer if you think outside the mansion, not inside.”

Lennok responded, raising his magic power.

I kneel slightly in front of the fireplace and place one hand on the dusty carpet.

“This mansion was buried under the sewers decades ago, but no one involved, including Anathema herself, has even attempted to move the house. “Why do you think this is?”

“...was there a reason why the location of the mansion could not be moved?”

“okay. There was a reason to maintain this downward coordinate no matter what. And the reason is not on top of the mansion....”

Quick!!

Lennok said, holding his hand hard as if scraping the floor.

The two people fell silent for a moment at the sight, so large and massive that it looked like a huge temple rather than a basement.

“If you were a noble in the central city, you would not have lacked wealth, but this is more than you think.”

Felix asked, struggling to raise himself up on the gravity stone.

“Did they turn the entire basement into a huge temple by carving out gravity stones?”

“It’s not just that. “We even adjusted the position and direction of the gravity stone so that it would not affect the mansion.”

“....”

“It is designed to direct the power of the gravity stone to the center of the temple while controlling it so that it does not leak out of the temple.”

As Lennok said this, he cast his gaze toward the center of the temple that could be seen at the end of several hundred meters in the distance.

“And all those measures were taken to keep that object in this temple.”

“....”

A beautiful purple crystal that shines dazzlingly.

Floating within the crystalline lens was a pair of glass-colored gloves.

The shape of a glove that emits a brilliant brilliance close to lapis-gold and sparkles as if time has stopped inside the crystalline lens.

Since it covers the middle of the forearm rather than the wrist, it looks like a thin gauntlet rather than a glove.

Around the water tulle, a clump of thin threads were spinning like a whirlwind, wrapping around the relic as if to protect it.

“That’s...”

“The taboo weapon that Anathema brought with her from Arsnova.”

Lennok’s eyes shone sharply.

“This item may be a keepsake of a very powerful manipulator.”

Central city manipulation techniques. This is also a taboo weapon made using high-ranking superhumans as material.

Above all, if it is something that Anathema tried to obtain by learning manipulation techniques on her own –

“Hey, wizard. “I don’t know much about that.”

Feisha, who was lying face down with her arms and legs outstretched among the rubble, glanced up and asked.

“You bastard. Just kill them?”

“What is that...?”

Woe!!

As if answering Felix’s words, a man appeared as if scattered from the thick darkness.

“Did you get caught like this?”

A man with a tall physique was standing on Feisha’s back with a sly smile on his face.

A face as dead as a corpse. He looks down at Feisha with snake-like eyes and points the dagger in his hand to her neck.

“...!!”

Felix’s face hardened and Lennok stared at the man with an expressionless face.

“Ah, I never wanted to see you again like this.”

The man glanced back at Lennok and joked.

“But what can I do when things have turned out like this? “I have to do my best to make a living.”

“...”

“So, everyone, please step back slowly.”

The man who held the dagger sharply to Feisha’s neck spoke softly.

“Unless you want to see this woman die.”

“That man...”

At the point where Feisha was completely caught up, there was no doubt that the opponent was also quite capable.

While Felix was sighing and quickly checking his surroundings, Lennok said with a smile.

“Whether it was then or now, the news about Young is still dark.”

“Yes?”

“You don’t know who the woman you’re holding hostage is?”

“...Oh my.”

I thought I had finally caught the loophole, but it wasn’t the reaction I expected at all.

Just as the man was breaking out in a cold sweat after realizing that something was wrong, Feisha slowly raised her head.

“hey. “You fucking bastard.”

Squeak...!!

The dagger was driven deep into Feisha’s head as she slowly turned her gaze, and blood flowed out.

“Are you calling this a hostage situation?”

The moment the man’s complexion changed at the tough reaction of Feisha, who turned around without paying attention to the fact that her neck muscles were being cut.

Feisha secured enough space to raise her arms and pounded the floor without hesitation.

Kwaang!!

With just the simple action of hitting the ground with her fist, a shock wave exploded and her body rose up.

At the same time, the man riding on Feisha’s back also rose into the air.

“for a moment...!!”

“die.”

Without any time to react, Feisha turned over and kicked the man in the stomach without hesitation.

Kwaaaaaaa!!!

The man’s body flew quickly and landed in a corner of the vast temple hallway.

“Cough!! Ugh.”

The sight of a man lying limp and bleeding, accompanied by a soundless scream.

Lennok then took a step forward and stood in front of the fallen man.

“Trying to take Deadrise’s general hostage is a stupid thing to do.”

“This can’t be right...”

The man’s shoulders drooped sullenly as he finally realized that the Feisha he had taken hostage was an incredibly strong person.

“I’m unlucky...Why does this always happen when I meet unlucky wizards like you?”

“It’s been a while, warlock.”

Lennok looked down at the man and sneered.

“What were you doing here?”

The warlock of Pandemonium.

An ancient ghost who took over the body of the ancestor of the 100,000 jewelers, Zaun Odis.

Ermont had arrived at the temple of Anathema before Lennoc.
