How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

After turning the suddenly appearing goblins into ice statues.

‘what? What goblin?’

Belatedly, Leo had doubts.

Something green appeared along with a scream, so I instinctively tried using magic, but I thought it was a goblin.

“Princess Menez. Didn’t I say that there are no monsters in Lyon Forest?”

“No, that’s right. How come there are goblins in the forest of Lyon… .”

Menez looked bewildered.

Drexla said, still stiff.

“I have to go back at once. As for the safety of the village, the priority is to go quickly and inform the Marquis of Gesen whether there is any abnormality in the forest.”

That was right.

But Leo couldn’t agree.

I’ve been thinking about how to get into the center of Lyon Forest, but I can’t go back.

“Drexla. Wouldn’t it be better to figure out the cause of the abnormality first?”

“Are you talking about the cause?”

“yes. A problem arose in the otherwise normal forest. In this case, it is said that finding out the cause quickly can reduce the damage that will happen later.”

“… Where did you hear that?”

“From the book!”

“… … .”

Drexla shut up.

It was well known by the Marquis Merverde that the youngest prince read all day long, especially books of mystery and adventure.

‘… You say you have that kind of knowledge?’

However, it was a shocking appearance to Menez, who did not know that.

How can I not be surprised when a 9-year-old child who hasn’t even lost her breasts tells me that the cause is something wrong with the forest?

‘indeed. There must have been a reason why he was called the greatest genius of the royal family.’

At the same time, I thought that such a reputation would be attached to that level.

In addition, Menez wanted to see more.

How much more amazing the little prince would show.

When I thought rationally, it would be right to take him and withdraw from here… .

“I also agree with your words.”

Menez supported Leo’s opinion.

“Five. Prince Menez. It’s a good decision for a member of the Marquis of Gesen!”

Leo’s eyes lit up and he patted him on the back.

Menez hahahaha… I laughed.

“No lowering. There may be some danger in the forest. It’s better to go back to the estate and organize an investigation team.”

Of course, Drexla didn’t take it lightly.

He couldn’t let the royal family endanger it.

“Then I need to find out now. If there is a danger, it is better to detect it in advance and know for sure what it is. It would be a waste of time if we go back and send a new investigation team.”

However, Leo did not take it lightly either.

“But… .”

“Uh huh. Could it be that Drexla doesn’t believe in my skills as a third-class wizard?”

“Could that be the case, my dear? I listen to it every day until my ears hurt.”

Drexla jumped up and shook her hands.

Leo grinned.

“And with Drexla by her side and Prince Menez in there, what danger could there be?”

“Um… .”

“If we properly figure out what the anomaly is here, it will be much easier to do. As a member of the royal family, you can’t just watch the difficulties of the aristocrats.”

He spoke of his duty as a noble royal family.

Having touched this, Drexla was at a loss for words.

The royal family said they would do what the royal family had to do, but how could they stop being an escort knight?

“… Then you should never overdo it, my lord.”

Finally, Drexla sighed and nodded hard.

* * *

– Kreuk! Kreuk!

– Kiyaa!

A dark room with almost no light.

The goblins were screaming with bright yellow eyes shining.

It was a sight that would frighten even the most courageous people.

“Be quiet, you guys!”

But the man shouting at those goblins was different.

Without any fear at all, he looked at the goblins with an irritated voice and a deadly gaze.

“Break through brainwashing magic and go find something to eat? You can’t really kill them all… !”

The man raised his hand with a disgruntled expression.

-Key, height… .

-Ke… .

Then the goblins hurriedly rolled their eyes.

It was clearly frightened.

“What are you going to do now, you guys! The location was discovered because of you guys!”

The man’s name is Jacob.

He is one of the world’s most despised black magicians.

“Damn it. It’s the first hideout I found out of the west, but it’s ruined because of these idiots.”

Warlocks are unwelcome in most lands of men.

Because of this, they were hiding in the western part of the barren continent.

However, Jacob was kicked out even there.

It was because it was dealing with the power of a different species that was ostracized even among black magicians.

“Fortunately, the barrier is strong, so I don’t think I can find it… .”

The man muttered to himself and looked outside.

The Lyon Forest of the Marquis of Gessen.

In a cave in the heart of the forest he stumbled upon while wandering away from the west, he found a ridiculous magic tool.

‘What a magical tool with such an enormous amount of magical power!’

In this light-shaped object, advanced magic that Jacob had never dared to imagine was dormant.

But even when they cheered, it was for a while.

He couldn’t handle this magic tool.

At the current level, it was difficult even to understand what it was used for, let alone handle it.

A long study was required.

So, Jacob first used magic tools as much as he could.

Originally, there was an invisible barrier spread around the magic tool, but it was slightly transformed.

Insert your own dark magic to make it stronger, and prevent anyone from entering the cave.

After reinforcing the barrier, he used this place as a hideout to kidnap goblins and start researching magic.

He was thinking of improving his skills and returning to the western part of the continent.

He planned to go back and take bloody revenge on the idiots who cast him out.

I was spending every day with that thought… Some goblins escaped.

It was Jacob’s mistake that he only thought about stopping the intrusion from the outside, but didn’t even consider going out from the inside.

“after… . are you okay. A few of those goblins would mistake them for just living in the forest. Even if you reach the central part, it will be difficult to find here thanks to the barrier… Really, even if you find it, it’s impossible to break through.”

Thinking so, I tried to calm my anxiety.

In fact, compared to his humble skills, the magic tool’s performance was amazing.

Even with just a little touch, an amazing barrier was created.

Even if the mage lord, the marquise’s best wizard, came, this wouldn’t be able to penetrate it.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Jacob thought so.

* * *

“Lowering… . How would you like to die? .”

Drexla said.

It was said almost every 15 minutes from the moment they went deep into the forest.

“no. You haven’t found anything yet.”

However, Leo shook his head.

“Let’s go in some more.”

“But lower. It came in too deep. At this rate, the center of the forest is not too far away.”

“Of course we have to go all the way to the center. The monsters are in the center, so if you go there, nothing will come out. Or is it going to be a waste of time all this way?”

“… … .”

Drexla’s complexion darkened.

I kept thinking that I had to go back now.

However, since he had agreed to come inside, he could not strongly insist on going back to Leo.

Leo didn’t care about Drexla and took a more vigorous step.

‘The point where the light orb is located is the center of the forest. I have to find the barrier there.’

How could I have persuaded Drexla to come here, but how could I go back without any results?

Something must be picked up.

The moment I thought so.

– Kirik!

– Kyaaagh!

A scream was heard from among the bushes.

“It’s a goblin!”

“It’s not the center yet, but again!”

Three goblins appeared.

Drexla immediately stood in front of Leo and Menez.

However, the goblins did not attack them.

-Kikiiik!

They leaked down a side road, then started to sprint out of the woods again.

The appearance of not caring about Leo and the others at all.

Seeing that, Menez murmured.

“what. Goblin… Aren’t you going to attack humans?”

Why do you call a monster a monster?

This is because the moment they encounter humans, they are natural enemies who start attacking for no reason.

Even the goblins had bony limbs and bodies.

Even at first glance, he looked hungry.

Of course, it’s normal to turn on the light in your eyes and run.

– Wedges!

When Menez was distracted by the goblin’s strange behavior, three ice arrows were fired at his side.

The arrows that flew like homing missiles pierced the hearts of the goblins.

– Kkeok!

– Queek!

The goblins collapsed screaming in agony.

The chest area where the arrow had been pierced was frozen and covered with frost.

It was an instant death.

“If we go out like this, there could be damage to the local people. I can’t let them run away.”

After lightly killing the goblins, Leo muttered nonchalantly.

“… go, thank you Lowering.”

Menez looked at it and rubbed his forearm, which involuntarily gave rise to goosebumps.

That judgment that attacked the goblins without missing them.

No matter how much he is a monster, he remains calm even after killing himself.

‘That’s really 9 years old… ?’

Is it because of the royal family? Even if it was different, something was different.

* * *

Leo and the party arrived at the center of Lyon Forest.

I ran into a few goblin hordes on the way, but they all looked the same.

He looks hungry, but instead of attacking, he’s trying to run away from the forest.

“I guess… I think this is the problem, low.”

Drexla said.

He was looking ahead with wary eyes.

It was because of the barrier found in the center of the forest.

“A barrier like this in a place like this… . If I hadn’t been alert and looked for it, I would have missed it.”

That’s how secret the barrier was.

Even though he was standing right in front of him, his presence was blurred.

To the naked eye, it looked like a huge rock was blocking the road, but in fact, even that was camouflage.

As Drexla was pumping up a lot of mana, she was able to spot and recognize a subtle, suspicious current.

of course.

“yes? At first glance, I saw something strange.”

That didn’t apply to Leo at all.

He had already noticed the strangeness of this place from afar.

It was natural.

The blue line is connected like a spider’s web on the rock, but how can I not know it?

It would have been possible if he had closed his eyes, but there was no way that Leo’s ability to see magic would miss this barrier.

-container. container.

“It is rigid yet flexible. It seems impossible to break it with moderate impact.”

Drexla muttered as she touched the barrier.

With just a few taps, you could guess the intensity.

“I guess I should go back here. I don’t know what else could be in here, so I’ll have to go and ask for backup.”

Drexla said with a serious expression on her face, but with a smile on the inside.

Although the inside of the barrier was suspicious, it was better to have a justification for finally getting Prince Leo to a safe place.

‘This is not what I wanted. It’s just that the road ahead is blocked.’

With that thought, Drexla looked at Leo.

At that time, Leo put his hand on the barrier.

– Giiing!

His hand seemed to glow blue, and the barrier began to oscillate here and there.

“… Lowering?”

Before Drexla raised her guard at that sudden appearance.

-Pachang!

The barrier was shattered.

Leo lowered his hand.

“The structure is a little complicated, but not that difficult. We can go inside now.”

Leo smiled and moved on.

“… … .”

“… Bare, barrier… Did you break it?”

Drexla and Menez looked at him with their mouths wide open.
