How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

Chapter 134

After Leo’s eagle went, Countess Ermeri became impatient.

‘finally… I can finally find my husband’s enemy… .’

How long have you been clinging to it?

I know it’s almost impossible, but I’ve been focusing my whole mind on finding the beast.

It was because if I didn’t, I would lose my mind.

And now that the moment was almost here, she almost ran into the slums.

Unlike ordinary aristocrats, because she was an executive of the Casein Guild, she knew the geography of the slums.

It wasn’t too difficult to get to the address Leo had given me.

But… .

“Uh heh. there lady Where are you going in such a hurry?”

“If you have time, would you like to play with us?”

As she was busily walking, several men who were clucking in front of her were blocked.

They were the eyes of a windfall.

It was hard to see because the robe was pulled over her head, but the face that was revealed at first glance was a beauty with clear features.

In addition, the red hair flowing down like silk took away the gaze of the viewer.

‘This is absolutely amazing today.’

“hehehe. I don’t think you deserve to be in the slums. Are you lost?”

“If you’re in trouble, we might be able to help. I’ll have to pay a fair price for it.”

It was unusual to look at it, but the gangsters approached her without much thought.

‘Looking at the lack of an escort, it doesn’t seem like he’s a noble.’

‘Are you the son of a wealthy family who grew up in a noble family?’

Whatever it is, it’s hard to find a woman like that in a slum like this.

That’s why I came because I was greedy.

Red light flashed in Countess Ermery’s eyes.

“Don’t block the road because there is no time. You scum.”

At her words, the arches’ faces softened.

“what? Garbage? Huh true. My mouth hurts.”

“I just got hurt by words. You should pay some damages.”

They came tumbling.

In terms of size, Countess Ermeri is not even half of them.

I just had to be confident.

But then, she snapped her hand.

– Hwareuk!

Flames rose from under the arches’ feet, and soon completely covered them.

-Roaring!

“Quaaagh!”

“It’s hot!”

They rolled on the floor to extinguish the flames from their bodies.

However, there was no way the flames created by the 5th class mage could be extinguished as much as the sand on the floor.

Eventually, after burning for a while, they soon stopped breathing.

Countess Hermery moved on without giving them a glance.

“Tsk. I don’t have time for this, but some bugs are blocking the way.”

Life flashed in her eyes.

* * *

Leo met Countess Ermeri while waiting at Rexel’s residence.

– Jerking away.

Seeing her approaching with her robe flapping, Leo smiled wryly.

‘It must have been a bout on the way.’

The reverberation of the magic that still lingers around her.

Life was still flowing from his eyes.

‘I’m scared to death.’

It’s similar to what I saw before when we had a fight at the top of Daesoorim Mountain.

These days, she’s barely seen smiling, but that was her true self.

An officer of the Casein Guild.

A person who can easily commit murder if he is wrong.

“You are here early.”

“I should have come sooner, but I was a little late because a few strangers got in the way. You made me wait too long.”

“I didn’t wait too long.”

How many thugs did you get in the way?

Leo could have guessed what had become of them.

‘Perhaps dead.’

Unlike Leo, who saved Rexel’s life, I didn’t think she would properly admonish the bullies and let them go.

Leo shrugged.

“Isn’t it a nice day anyway? The wind is cool, but the moonlight is bright, so it’s tasteful. No matter how slum it is, the capital of the empire is still the capital.”

“… … .”

Leo asked to lighten up the atmosphere, but she didn’t answer.

Leo scratched his head in embarrassment.

‘It’s the same as in the game.’

Even then, he did the quest to recruit her as a colleague, but even through the monitor, he could see a lively figure.

‘I have to control this well.’

The goals were twofold.

One is to successfully avenge her and make her an ally.

And another, to control her cruel temper as much as possible in the process.

“Shall we get straight to the point?”

“Yes lower.”

“If that’s comfortable for you.”

Leo nodded.

And then he held out his hand.

“Please give me what you brought.”

“Here it is.”

Countess Hermery carefully placed a red handkerchief on Leo’s hand.

Frost tracking is magic that reads the traces of the past left in the air and space.

However, too much time had passed since her husband, the former Earl, had already died.

Perhaps the traces left in the mansion have faded considerably.

So, another medium was needed.

For example, the traces of the wounds where the hands of the pleural effusion entered.

Fortunately, Countess Hermery had kept all of the count’s belongings at that time without throwing them away.

One of them was the Count’s handkerchief, which he had tucked into his bosom and was stained with his blood.

After examining the handkerchief for a while, Leo nodded.

“This should be enough.”

He immediately waved his hand and signed it.

The magic power around them fluctuated and the wind blew.

It was a sight that even ordinary people who knew nothing about mana could recognize.

Countess Ermeri, who was soaked in life, instantly opened her eyes wide.

‘When did this… .’

I knew long ago that he had risen to the level of the 5th class.

However, seeing the spectacle unfolding magic directly, the impression was different.

Looking at that mana deployment method and the ability to control the surroundings, it seemed that he was never inferior to himself.

[Frost Tracing]

A huge tree made of ice rose in front of Leo.

Branches glistened, tracing traces on the handkerchief.

Soon, the coordinates were displayed on the tree that had been flashing for a while.

“here is … That’s it.”

Leo interpreted the coordinates marked on the tree and told them.

“… no way!?”

Upon hearing Leo’s words, Countess Ermeri’s eyes widened.

* * *

The second day of the banquet hosted by the Empire dawned.

Banquets usually have the most crowds on the first and last days.

Since all nobles couldn’t play on fictitious days, there were many people who only attended important days, and that was the first and last day.

However, today was a little different.

Even on the second day of the banquet, the number of nobles increased, especially the number of wizards.

The reason was simple.

“There is an envoy from the kingdom side coming.”

“The commander, Viscount Hanson, is a sword master, right? I heard from the knights who attended yesterday, and they said that it is so amazing that it is not at all inferior to our country’s sword masters.”

“The silver hair and silver eyes of the Roman royalty are truly amazing. How can such a beautiful color come out?”

The nobles of the empire gathered in groups of threes and threes and looked at the envoys from the Kingdom.

Those who broke everyone’s expectations and became the main characters of yesterday’s banquet.

In particular, it is one of them that nobles and wizards focus on.

It was Prince Leo, a magician that Prince Bahelm was interested in and whom the emperor had always taken by his side.

After the banquet, word spread about him, so the next day, today, people came to see who he was.

One such nobleman, the Earl of Guillotine, approached the delegation.

He was familiar with the delegation members because he was the commander-in-chief of Hydra’s independent forces.

“Viscount Hanson. I see you again and again yesterday. Was it comfortable last night?”

“You are Count Guillotine. There were so many things to see in the capital of the empire, so I went around looking around, but the bed was the best.”

“Truck. I’m so glad that But… ”

Earl Guillotine looked around with the eyes of a hawk on the members of the Roman Kingdom.

But when he saw that the person he was looking for was nowhere to be found, he tilted his head.

“Where’s the poor Leo?”

Originally, he wanted to talk to Leo yesterday.

I was so surprised to see that Leo, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, had risen to the 5th rank.

Like most wizards, Count Guillotine was a person who valued the theory of talent more.

That’s why I had a good feeling about Leo, the king of talent, but I was extremely excited to see Leo become even stronger.

However, like Countess Ermeri, he too could not bear to have a personal conversation with the emperor and Prince Bahelm, and had no choice but to hang around.

‘But today I can never do that.’

So today, the second day of the banquet, I even thought of kidnapping (?) before entering the banquet hall.

“hahahaha… Iknow, right.”

“… … ? Will you? You mean you don’t even know where you are?”

“… Yes.”

Hanson sighed, looking a few years older for a moment.

“I woke up in the morning to meet you, so you weren’t at the dorm.”

“no way… kidnap?”

Count Guillotine’s expression became serious.

‘What wizard did this?’

He thought that this incident was not a crime, but rather the work of a wizard who, like himself, was greedy for Leo.

At the same time, he blamed himself for his stupidity.

‘I’m not aiming for the banquet, I should have visited last night… .’

How can you be so stupid!

Then Hanson said.

“I don’t think it was a kidnapping. There was a note left by you in the room.”

“What was written on it?”

“I promise to return before it is too late.”

“Okay… .”

When Count Guillotine heard it, he was convinced that this was indeed the work of the same wizard.

he said in a sad voice.

“Eh. Then let’s go in. The banquet hall will be full at this rate. Let’s go and have a meal together.”

“All right.”

Earl Guillotine, who had been walking like that, tilted his head.

‘Come to think of it… I don’t think I can see Countess Ermery either?’

no way… ?

* * *

Louis, the third-class wizard of the Blaze Mage Tower, was moving to the slums.

‘It’s a big deal. Nobles and wizards are all paying attention to the banquet.’

The whole capital was in an excited mood.

It was because the prince who was said to have come from the Kingdom of Rome received the attention of the emperor and the Duke of Bahelm at the same time.

The rumor had already spread overnight.

Louis had little interest in the prince.

‘Even if I’m interested, I don’t think I’ll be able to meet you.’

In that case, it was better to do now what I wouldn’t normally do.

‘At a time like this, we’re conducting a little human experiment.’

It wasn’t grandiose, and there was something to be done with some magic experiments on people.

It wasn’t because anything illegal was forbidden by the imperial family, but to get it through the official route, you had to pay a large sum of money to the applicant.

Where is the money for a mage who is always struggling with research expenses?

That’s why I came to the slums today, when the eyes of the aristocrats have faded.

There are many people here who will volunteer for the experiment for a few pennies.

But that was then.

“hey.”

Two masked robbers appeared blocking Lewis’ path.

Lewis was dumbfounded.

“Huh true. what is this… .”

He was holding a staff and wearing a robe with the seal of the Blaze Mage Tower.

I was openly showing off as a wizard, but I thought a robber would come.

‘Am I a little short on hair?’

Then one of the robbers said.
