How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

Celise lightly placed her hand on the scabbard and said.

“No one in the kingdom trusts a warlock.”

＜Then isn’t the owner a citizen of the kingdom? My prince seems to trust me quite a bit?＞

“… … .”

Selize’s eyes turned cold at Logan’s pun.

I gave strength to my hand as if I would cut it at any moment.

“stop.”

Then Leo intervened.

“Why are you fighting on the same side? it’s okay, stop it Selina, Logan you too, come sit down.”

Leo gestured toward the bat.

Then the bat flinched in the air.

Even though it was obviously a bat, I could feel it being ridiculous.

The bat that fluttered and flew in muttered.

＜… Anyway Prince Leo degraded. I mean, you’re such a jerk too.＞

“How dare you speak to me!”

“It’s okay, Celise.”

Leo calmed her down and asked.

“What does that mean?”

＜Isn’t that obvious? To separate oneself from the Duke of Ryant and the Countess of Ermeri. It’s an idea that ordinary royalty would never do. Rather, they would have stuck closer to each other for protection.＞

A helper that Leo has given Celise instructions for the past few days.

It was Logan, the Black Tower Master.

He was Leo, who had to somehow find a way to separate himself from the duke and countess.

However, time was passing, and at this rate, there was no choice but to discover Charpeng’s hideout.

So, I gave a separate order to Logan.

I contacted Logan periodically through a familiarized bat, and after seeing that, a thought came to my mind.

– Hey Logan. I’ll tell you where Charpin is hiding, so go find that bat first.

– It is unreasonable to search inside with bats.

-no. It’s not a search, it’s just a sneak peek at the entrance to the hideout. Do you have explosive scrolling? If you don’t have it, you’ll have to contact my subordinate, Gawain, and get it distributed. Anyway, take it and go to the hideout beforehand.

-… … ?

Leo told the bat to go to the hiding place that the bat hadn’t visited yet and install the scroll with the explosion magic inside.

‘I even wanted to instruct Logan to search inside the hideout, but that’s impossible due to the limitations of Familiar magic.’

It is a bat that moves according to the will of the caster, but there is a limit to seeing and feeling it.

In particular, it is almost as if there is no sense for the senses, so you have to feel it directly with your five senses to find the hiding place where Charpen is.

That was a big risk.

And if the bat gets caught and the bat dies, Logan, the magician, will take a big hit.

‘And even Logan can’t let me meet Charpeng first.’

Sharpen must be caught by oneself.

For these reasons, Logan went to a hideout he hadn’t been to yet and placed only a moderate amount of explosive scrolls near the entrance.

And when he became convinced that this was where Charpin was, Leo sent a signal and triggered it.

Of course, the duke would be safe, and the wizards were surprisingly good with their physical abilities, so there was nothing to worry about.

They weren’t the ones who would become a problem if the cave collapsed just a little bit, and Logan had simply calculated the damage and planted the explosion scroll.

The biggest problem was Leo himself, but he was safe anyway!

“On second thought, it was definitely a risky plan.”

Leo nodded.

Even at the time I remembered this, Celise and Logan were against it, but I pushed through.

Because I really didn’t have time.

＜Are you just realizing that now?＞

“How are you? As a result, you should have been successful.”

A plan to forcibly fall with the party by collapsing part of the cave ceiling with an explosion.

There were holes all over the place, but there was nothing I could do about it.

Looking back now, it was the best choice.

The bat burst into laughter at Leo’s reaction.

＜Uh ha ha ha ha. After all, Leo degrades. You seem more like a warlock. Why don’t you learn a little dark magic from me?＞

“It’s okay, so put it in.”

Leo waved his hand and stood up.

“Let’s talk more later, and now let’s move slowly.”

thud! thud!

At that moment, the collapsed wall of the cave shook, and the voice of Duke Lyant came in from the other side.

-… under … Still… I… russia… n… .

The sound was buried and reflected, so I couldn’t tell what it was.

thud! thud!

If you hit the wall again, dust falls.

I’m anxious.

Wouldn’t it collapse like that?

As soon as he thought about it, Leo shouted.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Peacock! You can stop hitting the walls!”

* * *

The Duke heard Leo’s voice.

Clear communication was impossible, but I was able to roughly grasp the situation.

‘You’re not hurt anywhere. Thank you very much.’

Duke Lyant was relieved.

I was so surprised when the cave collapsed and fell with the lower body.

Fortunately, it seems that Sir Sellies has safely assisted lower Leo.

If you hear Leo’s voice saying it’s okay over the wall.

After regaining his composure, the duke looked at the wall in front of him and put his hand on the handle of his sword.

‘Shall I cut it?’

A pile of stones like this blocking my eyes could be broken down without much difficulty.

However, the problem is the following.

An explosion had already occurred and the ceiling was weakened, but he did not know what would happen if he applied an additional blow to it.

If you make a mistake, the entire party could be buried alive in this underground cave.

The duke himself had the confidence to survive, but Leo and the magic corps members were dangerous.

Eventually, the duke let go of the power in his hands.

Then he knocked on the wall again and shouted.

thud! thud!

“Lowering. I will definitely go get it, so stay calm there!”

First of all, I think we need to find out if there is a way, and figure out a way to save our Highness or the others.

* * *

Leo went through the cave with Celise and Logan.

I was told by the duke to stay where I was, but I had no intention of defending it.

‘If that was the case, why would I have gone this far and separated from them?’

The plan worked well until he separated from the Duke of Lyont or the Countess of Ermeri, but it’s not time to let your guard down yet.

As a result, I had to kill Charpeng before they did.

‘It’s not just the Duke or Countess Hermery that’s the problem. The magic corps members must not be vigilant.’

Of course, compared to the duke and countess, their skills are inferior, but they are also promising wizards of the empire.

All of them were talented people who boasted skills of 3rd class or higher, and it would be a big deal for them if Charpeng was discovered first.

＜By the way, low. I have a question.＞

“Something?”

Logan, who had just been speaking softly, was now speaking with respect again.

Is this back and forth attitude also influenced by black magic?

＜Aren’t those in here just vampires? I don’t know why you’re trying to move like this.＞

Logan’s curiosity was natural.

So far, the vampires have been killed along with the other party, so why are they doing this here?

“hey. Logan.”

＜Yes. degrade.＞

“If you know, it hurts.”

＜… … ?＞

Logan shut his mouth.

I was so dumbfounded that I momentarily lost control of the bat, and almost crashed into the cave wall.

＜… Still, it’s kind of weird.＞

Logan chuckled.

＜Once upon a time, the royal family was like a lower… , No, even if I was half as low, I wouldn’t have become the owner of the Black Tower.＞

Looking at it, it seemed that there was a story behind it.

Leo asked curiously.

“Has something happened to the royal family?”

＜Whoops. No big deal. It was just a common story that anyone would experience.＞

When Logan said that, I became more curious.

The owner of the Black Tower, and one of the best black magicians in this world.

Logan is the strongest of the 6th class.

Because the world view of this Lost World was so vast, Leo didn’t know much about the Medith School, one of the non-mainstream ones, or its tower owner, Logan.

I only knew his name and skills, but I didn’t know the details of the story even when I was a gamer.

That’s why I’m interested in the past he talks about.

‘If I do well, I might be able to make the Black Pagoda Master on my side.’

If people from other kingdoms had heard of it, they would have scoffed at how they joined hands with warlocks, but they knew something.

As long as I had skills, I had a heart to bear even if my personality was somewhat less.

Besides, at first glance, the Black Tower Master seemed quite normal, unlike the other lunatic warlocks.

In the past, Jacob, a black magician he met in the family of the Marquis of Geshen, had murdered a colleague of the Medis school, and if he had chased him to the kingdom, it didn’t mean that his personality had completely deteriorated.

“I’m bored on the way, so let’s listen to your story. Would you like to talk?”

Leo quietly lowered his fishing pole.

It’s impossible to move quickly because my stamina is garbage anyway, so I thought I’d listen to the story so that I wouldn’t be bored in the meantime.

* * *

Vampire Prince Charpeng.

As the 47th child of the former Lord, he was quite proud of himself.

Even though the order of birth is pushed back, pride in being in the top 20 based on skills alone!

That’s why he’s been arrogant since he was a prince, and didn’t worry too much when the road battle broke out.

It was because he joined hands with the popular prince.

The 1st prince said that when he became a Lord, he would use Charpeng heavily.

However, when the scramble began, he died in an instant at the hands of Garibaldi.

The same was true of other promising royals, and Charpen barely managed to escape after noticing.

“Damn it. How did my situation come to this?”

Charpin nervously threw the human old man aside.

“I don’t have a taste bud.”

He was a human abducted from the dukedom, but as a side effect of long-term vampirism, he was in a half-corpse state.

I was angry all over again.

Being a fugitive from the well-to-do vampire royalty.

Not too long ago, news from one of his subordinate vampires was cut off.

I wondered if there was a pursuer, so I gathered more monsters and evenly distributed my men to different hiding places.

It was a ploy to play the role of bait and buy time.

And when he lost contact with his subordinates, Charpeng trembled with fear.

To think that everyone died without being able to send a single message to you… !

He didn’t even have time to do that because he was beaten by Duke Ryant, but Charpin sweated as he imagined the strength of his pursuer.

I wondered if Garibaldi had come all the way here himself.

“You have to run away. You have to go to a place where they can never be chased.”

Farther west than here was the territory of terrifying monsters, so even Charpenn could not guarantee survival.

However, if you stay like this, you will die with a 100% chance.

I had to run away somehow.

And just then, an explosion was heard in the distance.

I wondered if all the hideouts were collapsing.

There was no way he could hear this because he was the only one here.

‘Chu, has the pursuer reached here already?’

I thought I was in trouble, so I prepared to run away quickly.

I packed my essentials and left the hideout.

I ran out of the cave so hard… .

– Jerk-jerk-jerk.

Footsteps were heard from the other side.

The nervous Charpin stood tall.

“oh.”

And soon, red hair appeared from the darkness.

“Looks like I was the first to find it?”

Countess Hermery was smiling brightly at Charpen.
