How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

Leo talked to Logan for a while.

Talking like that, the time quickly turned to dawn.

“I think we should go back now. It’s getting hard to keep the possession.”

Logan spread the magic of possessing his subordinates and let them know that he was safe, but it was not a normal state.

The psychological damage is great, and since he died when the synchro rate was high, it is said that his ability is also affected.

“yes. Okay.”

“Looks like I need to get my body together for a while. If you do something wrong, you may fall from the 6th rank.”

“… That was it.”

Leo let out a sigh.

Reverse driving of the realm is never normal.

That must mean a lot of damage.

“yes. Taking care of yourself is more important than anything else. Take good care of yourself and see you later.”

“And… , Would it be all right if I visit you later and give you the legacy of King Karst that I promised you?”

Logan said cautiously.

Since the monsters in the west have been perfectly resolved, it is natural to give them what they promised.

However, since the value of the artifact was so high, it was burdensome to entrust it to a subordinate.

What would you do if you lost it?

‘It’ll be an excuse to see the degradation again later.’

That’s why I asked if it would be okay if I handed it to her later.

“I do not care.”

Leo shrugged and replied coolly.

Anyway, right now it was too difficult to keep up with the level of the 4th class, so even if you received the artifact, there was a high possibility that you would not be able to use it properly.

No way Logan wouldn’t run out of money, so it didn’t matter at all if he got it a little late.

“thank you. When you recover a little, I will go to the capital to see you.”

“At that time, I will have to keep a seat in the prison vacant. A sixth-class warlock is coming, so you should prepare for that.”

“Khehehehe. If you catch a criminal of that level, your position will rise a lot.”

“Will you cooperate so that I can become the next king?”

“Ha ha ha ha.”

We’ve gotten so close that we even joke with each other.

“Oh, come to think of it, I have one more favor to ask of you.”

Leo asked for an item from Logan.

“I don’t know why you need that… , All right. It’s not very difficult.”

Although Logan had a puzzled expression, he willingly accepted Leo’s request.

After that, Leo moved again after meeting Logan.

This time, too, it was not for the duke.

It was a prisoner of war camp.

Although there were soldiers guarding it, Leo was already a celebrity inside the Duchy.

After receiving a salute once, I was able to enter without restraint.

– Kik.

Vampire Dio, who was in solitary confinement, opened his eyes wide when he saw Leo.

“Wow, you’re here!”

He seemed to be quite anxious, so he was quite happy to see Leo.

“… How did it go?”

It was a question with the subject omitted, but it was obvious what he was asking.

Leo shrugged.

“Can’t you see I’m here?”

“… … .”

“Charpen is dead.”

Dio bit his lower lip.

The thought of betraying my master fueled my emotions.

However, that’s for a while.

The guy calmed down and said.

“… Tell Garibaldi a good story. Then I will repay you later.”

Leo seemed to be able to laugh.

Still can’t figure out the situation.

“By the way, if Charpen-nim passed away, are you keeping the serum well? Wouldn’t it have been taken away by other humans?”

“Ahh. serum.”

“yes. I don’t know if you’ve heard from Garibaldi-sama, but the serum is also very helpful to vampires.”

Vampires also wanted the serum because it made the power of blood stronger and thicker.

Leo shrugged.

“But I ate that.”

“… what?”

“I ate.”

“… … .”

For a moment, D.O thought he heard a joke.

However, even though he was smiling with his mouth, the moment his gaze met Leo with cold eyes, he realized that what he said was the truth.

he screamed.

“Hey, you crazy bastard! If he finds out that you ate the serum, he will never leave you alone!”

It’s not just Leo’s comfort.

If he made a mistake, his own betrayal of Charpin could be futile.

Even if Charpeng died, if he didn’t get the serum, his achievements wouldn’t be that great.

“Well, then what about the flute of seduction? If you take even the treasure of the squadron lord… ”

“It is broken. That makes me very sad too.”

Leo shrugged.

Even if he said he was sorry, his expression was just that, but on the contrary, D.O.’s face was red and his body trembled.

“You bastard… . what are you going to do The fact that you ate the serum and couldn’t retrieve the flute of seduction is tantamount to betraying him!”

“This is a fool. Since when have you been so loyal to Garibaldi?”

Leo chuckled.

Anyone who sees you will know that you are a very old loyalist.

“And that was a lie.”

“… what?”

“That I am Garibaldi’s subordinate. that it was fake Just saying your name and pretending to be friendly, so you know how to tell yourself well?”

“… … .”

D.O did not understand Leo’s words for a moment.

My head was confused about what the situation was.

Leo laughed.

“thanks. Thanks to that, I also caught Charpin. I also got to eat the serum I wanted. Even so, I still have a long way to go to get stronger, but it helped to some extent. thanks.”

“… This, this bastard!”

Dio moved his body as if he was about to run into it.

However, being chained and full of mana restraints, there was nothing he could do.

And even if it was in a normal state, if it sticks again, the result will be completely different from before.

Ice particles gathered from Leo’s hand and a translucent ice sword was created.

“Are you trying to attack royalty? this won’t work You are summarily executed.”

Dio, who saw the sword aimed at his heart, swallowed.

‘… what is this.’

This natural array of mana and casting of magic.

Obviously this kid was a pretty decent wizard before, but he’s completely changed in the few days I haven’t seen him.

The momentum of mana wafting like frost was not typical of a wizard.

‘no way… ?’

mage?

It feels like you have reached a level where you can put your will into the space.

I couldn’t believe it at all, but I couldn’t ignore my instincts that kept ringing.

I thought that maybe even if I didn’t have a restraining ball right now, I wouldn’t be able to win even if I fought.

“… wait for a sec. Let’s talk.”

“lets do it?”

“… Say it with words.”

D.O. was a vampire who was quick to judge the situation.

Even if it was deceiving, just like reading the current situation and changing from Charpen to Garibaldi.

I realized that now is the time to lie flat in front of Leo.

‘I just need to get out of this situation.’

If you die while messing around here, there is no such thing as dog death.

That’s why D.O thought of pretending to cooperate with Leo as much as possible.

“I will do whatever you ask.”

“great.”

Leo nodded as if he was happy, and took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

“Then sign here.”

“What is this… ?”

“not a big deal. It’s just a contract.”

D.O accepted the contract Leo handed over.

[Lifetime Employment Contract]

Paragraph -1: B absolutely obeys A.

Paragraph -2: B cannot be hostile to A’s family and acquaintances, including A’s first.

Paragraph -3: B cannot divulge any content related to A, including the contract, to others.

Clause -4: Eul…

.

.

.

A: Leo Asian Rom Karst.

A: Dio.

Dio shuddered.

“This, this… .”

“how? Are you fine? This is the contract I got from a pretty decent warlock.”

It’s not just a simple paper contract.

It becomes compulsory as soon as it is signed.

If you fail to abide by the terms specified in the contract, you will suffer damage proportional to the level of the person who created this contract.

This was a contract Logan handcrafted, so if Dio betrayed him, 6th class black magic would consume him.

“Do not be ridiculous!”

Of course, as D.O., he could never sign.

What was handed out to Dio, who had an angry expression, was a sword made of ice.

“Then you will die here. I don’t mind choosing any. How about you?”

“… … .”

alternative time.

D.O was trembling, but in the end there was only one option.

I didn’t want to die right away, so I had no choice but to sign.

Seeing that, Leo smiled.

‘I regret that Gawain is weak. I found the perfect escort.’

A good slave who will help you in the shadows… No, I found an assistant.

* * *

After finalizing the contract with Dio, Leo finally came to the Duke.

“Lowering. You are awake.”

“Is the duke all right?”

“I haven’t done anything, so I’m fine.”

The Duke smiled bitterly.

When he heard the explosion in the cave and ran to it, what he saw was the dead Charpin and Countess Leo, Celise, and Ermeri lying side by side next to him.

“First of all, I should say thank you. Lowering. Have you heard how things have been going?”

“I didn’t hear. I woke up a little while ago and came right here.”

To be precise, I met Logan and D.O, but I didn’t talk about Youngji’s circumstances.

“While you fell, the armies of our domain declared an end to the war.”

“End?”

“Yes. The monsters that were rioting in the west were scattered.”

Hearing this, Leo nodded.

‘As soon as the flute of deception broke, the monsters moved back to their original positions.’

There is no reason to be here as there are no artifacts to forcibly hold the monsters.

With the monsters gone, there’s no need to maintain an army anymore.

“Good.”

“Yes. It’s all thanks to the degradation.”

The duke lightly bowed his head.

“… … !”

Leo was quite surprised.

It was shocking.

To think that he, no one else, bowed his head and was called the greatest swordsman in the kingdom.

“It’s embarrassing. Peacock. Raise your head.”

“Please accept me. You deserve my greetings. You saved the lives of countless Yeongji soldiers who were about to die.”

“… … .”

“And if you ever need my help, just let me know. It’s not enough, but I’ll walk with both arms and help.”

It was a dangerous statement that the duke could become the guardian of Leo, the 4th prince.

Leo sighed lightly.

The duke’s appearance was burdensome, but in the current situation, it wasn’t bad.

“then… I have one favor to ask of the duke.”

Leo cautiously opened his mouth.

“I want you to take Vampire Dio, who is now being held. We have the means to force him, so please hand over the new recruit without needing anything else.”

“Yes. All right.”

Leo was taken aback by the duke’s reply.

‘They handed it over so easily?’

Of course, he killed many, including the vampire royalty, and ended the monster’s attack, but the surviving vampires were useless in many ways.

You might be able to learn more about the current situation in the eastern Abyss through his mouth.

However, the duke acted as if that was no big deal.

“Is that the end?”

“Ah yes.”

“I can do just that much. Please tell me another request later.”

The smiling Duke soon changed the subject with a heavy expression.

“Okay then, that’s it. There is one more issue I would like to address. Lowering.”

“Do you know what Countess Hermery is like now?”

“Come to think of it, I haven’t heard from her.”

I confirmed that Celise was all right, but I hadn’t thought about her.

‘Well, since I fed one serum anyway, I’ll be fine no matter what.’

Rather, he could have attained enlightenment and become stronger, just like himself or Selize.

“Currently, Countess Hermery is imprisoned.”

“… Yeah? Did she do anything wrong?”

“In fact, it was possible to make a rough guess by looking at the scars on the lower court and Sir Sellise, but… Before that, she confessed. He asked to be arrested for murdering the royal family.”

“… … .”

“therefore… , Now I put myself in restraints and went to prison.”

Leo opened his eyes wide.

What is this all of a sudden?
