How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

– Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag Dag

On the way to the imperial palace by carriage.

Leo couldn’t contain his excitement.

‘Venus Warehouse… . I’m going into the Venus warehouse.’

Thanks to the war 300 years ago, the continent’s mainstream race has become the human race.

The territory of the eastern Abyss was very small compared to that of humans, and the actual owner of such a human land was the Empire.

The place where treasures that have been accumulated for a long time in such an empire are stored is the Venus warehouse.

A place where even members of the royal family could not recklessly enter unless they had made a huge contribution to the empire!

“We have arrived, low.”

The coachman dropped Leo off.

In fact, he was not just a coachman, but an imperial knight.

The place where the gold storage warehouse is located is deep inside the imperial castle.

The guide was also an imperial knight, and the checkpoints guarded by the knights were also a place where they had to pass through several times to arrive.

“Thank you.”

“no. It was an honor for me to serve you.”

The knight saluted with a look of respect.

A mage who recently created the most uproar in the capital, and a person whom the emperor directly praised.

Over there, changing the status of a mage to a swordsman was the honor most wanted by the knights of the imperial family.

Since he was a Leo with such an honor, it was only natural for him to look at me like this.

“I will wait here until you come out.”

“I think it will take a little while to see what to choose?”

“It’s okay if you come slowly.”

The article said no matter what.

Leo nodded.

“Okay. Then, thank you for your hard work.”

* * *

‘It’s been quite a while since I entered the Venus warehouse.’

Leo looked around with curious eyes.

He had already been to the Venus Warehouse as one of the previously raised characters.

However, even then there were limitations.

Despite being an extremely well-developed character, he only had one floor out of a total of three floors.

Getting into the Venus warehouse is just as difficult.

‘I’ll be able to see everything this time.’

Leo walked inside the warehouse.

In fact, the horse is a warehouse, a three-story building in the form of a huge auditorium.

The interior was full of shelves, on which were all kinds of rare items.

Swords on one side, artifacts including staffs on the other.

It was divided into a place with precious metals and equipment, and a place with elixirs.

He had seen the first floor before anyway, so Leo went upstairs at once.

‘The best and most important treasure will be on the third floor, so I’ll have to look at it from there.’

When I went straight to the third floor, I saw that the number of items had decreased significantly.

Leo checked things from the front.

The first thing I saw was a plain-looking ring.

Underneath the object, a brief explanation was written.

[Zerang’s Ring]

-5 This ring was worn by the hero, Lord Gerang, to assist with magic.

“… … !?”

Leo opened his eyes wide.

If it was the Flame Emperor Gerang, hadn’t he discovered the Germanic heritage some time ago?

It’s a dagger called the Crimson Sword Ignir, and it’s a very tricky weapon to use.

My older sister, Alice, showed her suitability and gave it to her, and now she is training hard with it.

‘But… Was there another artifact of Gerang in the Venus warehouse?’

Leo let out a mischievous laugh.

Gerang was officially the only magic swordsman among the 5 heroes.

Leo found his weapons and arcane magic in all previous characters, but not his magic tools.

There was a record that he fought with a crimson sword in one hand and a ring in the other, but the ring was never found.

“Looking for this like this? It’s disappointing.”

Leo rolled the ring from his hand.

If you bring it to Elise, it would be worth raising as a fire magician…

‘Still, it’s a waste to take this.’

Leo put down the ring and began to examine his surroundings.

It was full of treasures that would be of great interest even if only one went out into the world.

A sword worthy of being called a divine sword, or an artifact used by great mages.

If you go over one square there, the elixirs are full.

These were elixirs that made you feel refreshed just by breathing in.

‘All of them are SSS-level elixirs.’

The first time the emperor said he would give access to this place, he was thinking of bringing the elixir.

I was able to use the Heavenly Pearl after reaching the 6th rank, but in return, the amount of mana consumed increased.

Short-term battles are no big deal, but battles that require all-out effort were difficult to sustain for a long time.

Leo had to solve this problem somehow.

‘What should I choose?’

Leo examined the elixirs.

Kraken’s Essence, Poseidon’s Heart, Grim Reaper’s Core…

Nothing just fell off.

These elixirs cannot be obtained with money or status.

Treasures of heaven that can only be gathered by working hard for a long time in a place comparable to the imperial family!

After looking at it for a long time, I reached the end of the Elixir column.

The elixir at the end was something like a small pill.

[Unknown Elixir]

Upon seeing the name of the elixir, Leo tilted his head.

‘Can’t you tell?’

There’s no way you’d bring something you couldn’t figure out properly to the 3rd floor of the Venus warehouse?

However, Leo’s eyes flashed as he read the explanation below.

-Item obtained by His Majesty the first emperor. He left the word that he entered the ancient dragon’s ruins and brought it.

– But no one knows if that’s true or not. Numerous mages investigated, but could not figure out exactly what it was.

-Currently, it is stored on the 3rd floor of the Geumseong warehouse in honor of the will of the first emperor.

‘… … !’

Take it from the ruins of an ancient dragon!?

Even the first emperor?

this is something

It is unconditional.

Leo felt that way.

Of course, in one part of my head, the devil whispered incessantly.

‘But what if it goes bad?’

Actually, the first emperor had Alzheimer’s disease, so he just lied about what he picked up from the street medicine vendor and said he brought it from the dragon’s ruins?

It’s not like it’s 0%.

Because things more fantasy than fantasy often happen in reality.

Leo pondered as he placed the pill in his hand.

That was the moment.

– Ugh!

I felt a vibration in the gold bracelet I was wearing on my left arm.

Leo was startled.

After I got this, it was a bracelet that I couldn’t budge no matter how hard I tried to find out what it was.

So far, he has reacted to the pills.

The troubles are gone here.

snap.

After picking up the pills, Leo came out of the warehouse.

Both eyes were tightly closed.

Leo was also a human being, so he couldn’t help but see other treasures glimmering in his eyes.

‘I’m glad I didn’t look at the second floor.’

I tried so hard to console myself and moved out of the warehouse.

After completing the treasure selection in the Venus Warehouse.

Leo was guided by the waiting imperial knight.

“You got out early, sir?”

He looked at Leo with a puzzled expression.

Leo smiled awkwardly.

“Um, what… That’s how it happened.”

“You are amazing. If it were me, I would have been so worried that I would have stayed all day.”

me too.

I was afraid that if I stayed longer, I would have a different mindset, so I quickly escaped.

“Now then, I will guide you, Your Majesty. He told me to bring him right away.”

The knight drove the carriage and guided it to the imperial central palace.

I came out with treasure from the Venus warehouse, but of course it’s basic to say hello.

Unexpectedly, there were quite a few people in the emperor’s throne room that Leo had visited several times.

“Hmm. That is Prince Leo.”

“indeed. As rumors say, you are dedicated.”

The stern-looking old nobles looked at Leo and whispered.

While tilting his head, Leo approached the emperor, who was sitting at the head of the audience room, and greeted him according to the etiquette.

“Meet Your Majesty.”

“yes. Good to see you again like this. Have you been to the Venus warehouse?”

“Yes. Thanks to Your Majesty’s grace, I got a good treasure.”

As soon as Leo finished speaking, the eyes around him became more stingy.

“Hmm. How could such a treasure be given to a foreigner… .”

“No matter how much Your Majesty treats you as a benefactor of the empire, I think the silver castle warehouse will be enough… .”

The nobles muttered to each other.

‘Aha. I know roughly what it is.’

Leo noticed why these people were doing this.

The emperor said that in order to give permission to enter the warehouse, the consent of the nobles was required.

The most important treasures of the empire are gathered in the Venus warehouse.

When he said he would completely open such a place to a foreigner, Leo, of course, the snarky nobles would not have accepted it easily.

However, some time ago, they got involved with the Casein Guild, and nobles like garbage died one after another or were imprisoned.

It was passed because the emperor’s power was strong, otherwise Leo would not have been able to see the Venus warehouse up to the third floor.

“Stop it. Isn’t this already over? It’s no longer disrespectful to Prince Leo.”

The emperor spoke gravely to the nobles who kept talking.

Then the nobles bowed their heads as if they had promised.

“I understand, Your Majesty.”

“I also apologize to you, Leo.”

Of course, his eyes were still full of dissatisfaction, but at least his outward attitude was polite.

The Emperor looked at Leo after the atmosphere had been sorted out.

“Prince Leo. What treasure did you bring from inside?”

A young genius who is certain to become a future archmage.

What treasure he would have chosen, the emperor was personally curious.

“This is it.”

Leo pulled out a small box and showed the pills.

“… What is it? It looks like some kind of lyric medicine, was there anything like that in the storage room on Venus?”

The emperor tilted his head.

I’ve been there a few times because the emperor was free to enter and exit the Venus warehouse, but I couldn’t remember seeing anything like that.

It’s normal for an elixir in the storage room to feel refreshed just by looking at it, but that pill looked really ugly.

“It says it’s a medicine left by the first emperor.”

“ah… I found it in the legacy of the dragon… ?”

“you’re right.”

The Emperor nodded his head as if he had finally understood Leo’s words.

However, he soon frowned slightly.

“Well. Prince Leo. It’s a bit harsh to say this, but I’m not sure of the authenticity of the item. maybe… It seems that the first emperor misunderstood something and put it there, but it was just to honor his will.”

To put it literally, the first emperor had a slight mental disorder.

That’s what it meant.

“At most, I opened the Venus warehouse, but I can’t give you that kind of stuff. I will give you a chance to change to something else.”

“it’s okay. I like it.”

“what?”

The emperor and other nobles looked at Leo with strange eyes.

I was openly asking why.

Of course I couldn’t explain it.

How would you say this looks like something from a real dragon’s ruins?

That’s why Leo moderated it.

“Actually, I have long admired the First Emperor, His Majesty. There were many coveted treasures in the Vaults of Venus, but I hated seeing the legacy of the First Emperor, whom I admire, left unattended. So I picked this one.”

“… … !”

“… … !?”

At Leo’s words, the expressions of the emperor and nobles changed.

They were nobles who looked at him dissatisfied from the moment he entered, but their eyes changed.

“Huh. You said you respected the First Majesty?”

“It’s not easy for the royal family of another country to do that… .”

Of course, people who say such things with their mouths are widely spread.

However, didn’t Leo prove his point by picking out a useless looking (subjective point of view) medicine from the Venus warehouse?

That attitude changed the behavior of the nobles.

At this, the emperor took another drink.

“Uh ha ha. He is also a talent I picked up. I can’t stay still after hearing that.”

The emperor chuckled and slammed the armrest violently.

“I’ll let you enter the warehouse one more time. Pick another one!”
